Hilario Machetes and bare hands against guns?
Buy guns.
Tomas
Buy?
Go to the border. Guns are plentiful there.
Tomas
But what are we going to use for money?
(digs out a gold pocketwatch and hands it over)
Sell that. And anything else you can gather.
Hilario Even if we had the guns... we know how to plant and grow. We don't know how to kill.
Then learn. Or die.
We need help.
Hilario We must buy guns. We know nothing about them. Will you buy them for us?
Guns are very expensive and hard to get. Why don't you hire men?
Hilario Men?
Gunmen. Nowadays, men are cheaper than guns.
...
Hilario It won't be hard to find men here. Everyone wears a gun.
Sure. Same as they wear pants. That's expected. But good men? That's something else again.
Hilario The man for us is the one who gave him that face.
Hey, you learn fast.
I did hear of a job below the border shooing flies away from a village, but I can't find out what it pays.
Twenty dollars.
A week?
Six weeks. Whole job.
Well, that's ridiculous. You heard of anything?
Yeah. Below the border shooing flies away from a village. Their village. (indicates Hilario and company)
Twenty dollars.
You can come in right now.
Nah, that wouldn't even pay for my bullets.
Hilario Ours is a poor village.
We understand. You can make much more as a grocery clerk. And it's good, steady work.
Yeah.
How many you got?
[Chris holds up one finger; Vin shakes his head and holds up two fingers.]
Hilario Did you have any luck?
Found a man who would have been perfect. With gun or knife, couldn't ask for any better. But he wouldn't do it.
Hilario : The money, it was not enough?
He doesn't give a hoot about money.
Hilario A man in this line of work who doesn't care about money?
Men in this line of work are not all alike. Some care about nothing but money. Others, for reasons of their own, enjoy only the danger.
And the competition.
If he is the best with a gun and a knife, with whom does he compete?
Himself.
I guess right about now you kinda wish you'd given your crops to Calvera, huh?
Hilario Yes. And no. Both at the same time. Yes, when I think of what he might do. No, when I remember the feeling in my chest this morning as I saw him running away -- from us. That's a feeling worth dying for. Have you ever... felt something like that?
Not for a long, long time. I, uh, I envy you.
