It’s because of the damn trains!

 
You bet!

“What about our partnership?” “Maybe next time.”

I don't know if he will continue with bounty hunting, but I'm 99% sure "maybe next time" is just a polite way to say "Nope."
Also, to me, the rise of the sad/nostalgic music just with this line underlines that one way or another this is the end of the relationship and of Mortimer. I'm pretty sure the guy just fades away as he rides toward the sunset as the romantic hero from a lost age he is.

You have said the things that are true.

“Maybe next time” is perhaps setting up for possibility of a sequel?

Maybe in the screenplay, who knows. But to me, definitely not considering the way the line is delivered, the shot is framed and lighted and the music is written around it.

[dave jenkins]

Maybe next time I'll buy what Drink is selling.

Yes so now uncut. I got the Kino blu ray when it came out. Do I get this or wait till a UK release comes out?

[dave jenkins]

You can never have enough copies of this film. Buy both.

Tooze confirms that the accompanying blu is NOT the 2019 disc repackaged. This has the same version as the 4KUHD disc which has an extra 30 seconds of content.

[Le Bon]

Not fully uncut apparently. Missing a couple of seconds that are on the German Blu Ray.  The shot of Monco holding the boy is a bit longer as is the shot of Monco ascending the stairs when he joins Indio's gang.
