(Quoting Don Miguel Rojo)
A man's life in these parts often depends on a mere scrap of information.

"When the man with a 45 meets the man with a rifle, you said the man with a pistol is a dead man" (load his gun). Let's see if it's true.
Chico Our orders are to make sure he does not die...but also to make sure he regrets the day he was born.
Esteban Rojo
I'm Esteban Rojo, my brother asked me to...what are you doing?
Moving.
Esteban Rojo
Don't you know all our men sleep here with us?
Well, that's all very cozy, but I don't find you men all that appealing. Besides, your brother said he didn't have any need for me anymore right now.
Father
How can we thank you for what you are doing?
Man W/No Name
Don't try, get out of here before Ramone and his gang show up.
Marisong
Why do you do this?
Man W/No Name
Why? Because I knew a family like you, there was no one there t o help. Go. Go! Get out of here!
Father
How may we thank you for what you are doing?
Don't try. Just get goin' before the Rojos get here.
Marisol Why do you do this for us?
Why? I knew someone like you once. There was no one there to help. Now get movin'. Get movin'! Get out of here!
[The family leaves for safety]
Baxters over there, Rojos there, and me right in the middle.
Where you do what?
Crazy bell-ringer was right. There's money to be made in a place like this.
If you are thinking what I suspect, I tell you, don't try it!
Which of the two is stronger?
Which of them is stronger? Well...the Rojos. Especially Ramon.
Every town has a boss.
That's true, but when there are two around, I'd say there is one too many!
John Baxter Ramon! Don't shoot! We're coming out! We surrender! Listen, Ramon. You've won. It's enough. I'll get out of town! I'll do whatever you like!
You promise that?
John Baxter I swear it, Ramon!
You won't try a trick of any kind?
John Baxter [last words]
None! No! No tricks! I said before, I give you my word, we'll leave!
Are you sure? You had better ask permission of your wife! Maybe she won't be too happy! [shoots him]
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man. That's an old Mexican Proverb...and it's true.
I'm alive, and I want to remain with the living, understand? And when I'm dead, I want to remain with the dead. And I would be unhappy if somebody living forces me to remain with the living.
Vincente
I've had a poker hand waiting for me for three days! Now I'm stuck here; I can't get back to it while I'm guarding this Americano idiot!
Chico I think you will find this more amusing than cards. Our orders are to be sure he does not die, but also make sure he regrets the day he was born. The gringo's asleep, I imagine. That's all right, I'll enjoy waking him up!
[Last lines; Joe has killed Ramon and all of his men] [packing up]
Mmh. Well, guess your government will be glad to see that gold back.
And you? You don't want to be here when they get it, eh?
You mean the Mexican government on one side? Maybe the Americans on the other side? And me right smack in the middle? Uhn-hn. Too dangerous. [saddling up] So long. [rides off]
Adios.
Aim for the heart, Ramon.
