The first of Leone's circular duels,
although it isn't quite there yet.
1:28:09
That will happen in the second film,
For A Few Dollars More.

And the Rojos aren't awfully bright, they

1:29:47
But now, of course,
Eastwood's walked into Colt.45 range.
1:29:51
So maybe he does stand a chance. Down

By using these proverbs and dynamite
and charisma, sheer charisma,
