Question about the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly

The first guy that Angel Eyes kills, the guy who he ate dinner with–did Angel Eyes go specifically to kill him, or just to get a name? If that guy hadn’t drawn his pistol, would he have lived?

I think to get the name and kill him so nobody else would know. Remember, he said “When I get paid, I always follow through”. The old guy was bribing him to spare his life and kill the other guy, he didn’t spare his life but killed the other guy anyway.

In any case, he’s getting rid of everyone who had the information other then him.

Angel Eyes was PAID to kill him. Getting the name was a bonus. Besides, he is The Bad so he has to do the badass thang…Timmy
