A scene from The Magnificent Seven 1960
the Old Man

[The villagers seek advice from "the Old Man".]

Fight. You must fight. Fight!

Hilario

Machetes and bare hands against guns?

Old Man

Buy guns.

Tomas

Buy?

Old Man

Go to the border. Guns are plentiful there.

Tomas

But what are we going to use for money?

Old Man

(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.

Old Man

Then learn. Or die.
