Vonetta McGee

[Burnett, Loco and Silence are riding the stagecoach to Snow Hill]

Sheriff Burnett: [referring to Loco's wanted posters and the corpses on top of the stage] Hey, which are they? According to these posters, there ought to be four. Who are the two on top?

Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: The second and the third... there's another one, waiting to be buried, soon as I've been paid.

Sheriff Burnett: You know what it says here? "Dead or Alive"... I'll lay a bet you never take 'em alive.

Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Those are dangerous men, Sheriff. They're enemies of God and Man. The things they preach... what if one had his say in court and got acquitted? They'd be all be using the courts to spread, whatchamacallit. Nah, it's our patriotic duty to exterminate 'em.

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: [after Miguel has shot an bounty killer] C'mon. It's safe now.

[the outlaws come out of hiding]

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: You're all afraid of these confounded bounty killers, even if they're dead?

[to Silence, who he hands some money to]

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: Silence, you bagged them polecats just in time. Take this, you earned it. Y'know, we're obliged to come down for food, and they're always laying for us in the valley. They know we can't hold out for long in this weather without supplies. Still, if we fought for our rights, they'd raise the price on our heads, and we'd be massacred.

Miguel: You could at least thank me for my trouble. Didn't you see he was about to fire?

[Silence rides off]

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: All you did was waste a good shot, I'd say. Why, that fella there had both his thumbs shot off; he never would have fired another pistol as long as he lived. That's why Silence didn't wanna shoot him. Because when he shoots anyone, it's always in self-defense - that's right. And them bounty killers are afraid of him. He's faster on the draw!

Miguel: But why do we pay a professional fighter? We all been in the army, so let's fight back, then! I say we should fight it out with those bounty killers - once and for all! I'll be damned if I'm freezing to death up here!

Outlaw: He's right!

[outlaws argue]

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: Now listen here - I say we're all better off staying right where we are. The price on our heads, sooner or later, will be removed. They say the new Governor will declare an amnesty, and we'll be able to think as we want. Now, we don't want to spoil our chances.

Miguel: I can't take it no more... I'm going back. I'd rather be taken alive... so, turn myself in. It's better.

[hands his shotgun to Walter]

Miguel: Sorry, Walter.

[walks away from the group]

Outlaw: Hey, wait. I'm coming too.

[follows Miguel]

James Middleton: I wanna see my wife.

[follows]

Outlaw: [to Walter] I reckon they'll be in jail when the pardons come.

Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: Or the graveyard...
