Watched movie: "Fist Full of Dollars."
One of the best first scenes in the movies. "Fist Full of Dollars." Clint Eastwood character, Joe, rides into seedy border town run by two mutually contentious families, the Baxters and the Rojos. He is confronted on the main drag by three Baxer roughs. They start shooting at Joe's mule's feet, yelling at Joe to get out of town and telling him he's not welcome. Joe's animal gets spooked and starts running down the street. Joe dismounts by grabbing a sign post above as the mule runs under it.

Joe goes into a store and meets an old codger who gives him the lay of the land about the town... the contentious Baxters and Rojos etc.

Joe leaves the store and walks back (mule nowhere known at present) towards the men who shot at him. As we walks, he passes a coffin maker, also an old geezer. "Make up three coffins, old timer" he mouths casually as he walks by.

On seeing Joe walk towards them, the Baxter roughs, renew their bravado and insults. The three Baxter roughs are joined by a fourth.

Joe: (I'm paraphrasing): Look guys, I know you were just playing around, and I'm not mad. I know you're basically good guys. But, you know, my mule is ticked off really bad. I don't know what he's going to do if he doesn't get an apology. Your shooting at his feet made him really angry."

Rough: Whaaa??? You making a joke mister?

Joe: No, the mule is really mad. You better apologize to him, fast. Otherwise, he's asked me get justice for him.

Rough: (Confused... smiling... then wincing as he see's Eastwood lifting his poncho to expose his six shooter)

The roughs, joined by a fourth, all draw their guns and are all four taken out in the flash of an eye by Joe's six gun.

Joe walks back to the coffin maker.

Joe: Listen, old timer, I apologize. I told you to make only three coffins. I actually need four.
