(This is from the part in the movie where Tuco (Eli Wallach)
has escaped from the train, and he runs into “Blondie” (Clint Eastwood) in a
battered ghost town, where the two have to dispose of Angel Eyes’s (Lee Van
Cleef) band of outlaws.)
Lee Van Cleef tells his henchmen (of Clint Eastwood’s character,
just before a big showdown): “I want that blond alive.” And then he turns away
from his henchmen and says: “So I can find out how he gets his hair such a gorgeous
color!”
Then we see Clint Eastwood with ridiculously flowing,
beautiful blond hair as he guns down the assailants. And then in his showdown
with Lee Van Cleef, he says: “It’s Clairol. All you had to do was ask. But you
had to do it the hard way.” And then he draws his gun faster and shoots down
Lee Van Cleef, saying under his breath: “Not that it would have helped you much, with your thinning hair.”
