Miguel We need help.
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?
Men?
Gunmen. Nowadays, men are cheaper than guns.
...
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.
Miguel There's one! Look at all the scars on his face!
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.
Ours is a poor village.
Miguel 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.]
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.
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.
Miguel If he is the best with a gun and a knife, with whom does he compete?
Himself.
Miguel, didn't I tell you to squeeze? Hmm? Just like when you're milking the goat, Miguel.
Miguel I-instead, I get excited!
Well, don't get excited. (he takes the rifle, **** it, and hands it back) Now, this time, squeeze. Slowly, but squeeze. Squeeze. (Miguel fires another wild shot) SQUEEZE! I'll tell you what. Don't shoot. You take the gun like this... (holds it by the barrel) and you use it like a club! All right?
Miguel Bueno.
