A scene from The Magnificent Seven 1960
Chris Adams

[Chris and Vin approach O'Reilly, who is chopping wood on a farm for his breakfast.]

Morning. I'm a friend of Harry Luck's. He tells me you're broke.

O'Reilly

Nah. I'm doing this because I'm an eccentric millionaire.

Chris

There's a job for six men, watching over a village south of the border.

O'Reilly

How big's the opposition?

Chris

Thirty guns.

O'Reilly

(stops axe in mid-swing)

I admire your notion of fair odds, mister.

Chris

Harry tells me you faced bigger odds during the Travis County war.

O'Reilly

Well, they paid me six hundred dollars for that one.

Vin

He said you got that Selena thing cleared up in less than a month.

O'Reilly

Paid me eight hundred dollars for that one.

Vin

You cost a lot.

O'Reilly

Yeah. That's right, I cost a lot.

Chris

The offer is twenty dollars.

O'Reilly

[O'Reilly keeps chopping wood. Chris and Vin turn to leave.]

Twenty dollars? Right now, that's a lot.
