plot explanation - What is the history between Little Bill and English Bob in Unforgiven? - Movies & TV

itemprop="text">

In href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/" rel="nofollow">Unforgiven, it's
understandable why Little Bill beat up English Bob--because he wanted to scare off
anyone else who would come to collect the reward from the women and also keep aside the
Big Whiskey from assassins.

But I couldn't
understand, What is the history between Little
Bill and English
Bob?

Because
the conversation between Little Bill and English Bob at the outside of Barbershop seems
they had a strong history and of course, I couldn't interpret the conversation well
enough.

Any help will be appreciated to
understand the movie well.

If I
remember correctly Little Bill had a run in with English Bob in another town while
serving as a lawman. Bob is a known 'assassin', Bill's label for vigilantes, gun
fighters, and bounty hunters. Bob is also well known for murdering Asian immigrants
serving as railroad workers, something he himself alludes too when the character is
introduced. All that aside, he does bring a firearm into town, something Bill
demonstrates zero tolerance for.

Or maybe Bill
just doesn't like wizards ;) , I jest.
