Wild, The Hunchback: Yes, and very, very bad. Now come on, you light another match.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: I generally smoke just after I eat. Why don't you come back in about ten minutes?

Wild, The Hunchback: Ten minutes you'll be smoking in hell. Get up!

[last lines]

Monco: [counting reward sums of outlaws he just killed] Ten thousand... twelve thousand... fifteen... sixteen... seventeen... twenty-two. Twenty-two?

Monco: ...Twenty-seven.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Any trouble, boy?

Monco: No, old man. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It's all right now.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [discussing strategy to defeat Indio] When two hunters go after the same prey, they usually end up shooting each other in the back. And we don't want to shoot each other in the back.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Is this part of Tucumcari?

Train Conductor: We should pass there in about three to four minutes.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Thanks.

Carpetbagger on Train: Well, eh, excuse me, but you made a mistake, Reverend. I couldn't help hearing you're going to Tucumcari. I sell goods around here, and I gotta tell you, you're on the wrong train. I think the nearest stop to Tucumcari is Amarillo. By getting off at Santa Fe and returning by way of Amarillo, you should be able to get right where... you're... going.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [slowly peers over the top of his Bible with a steely stare] Huh...

Carpetbagger on Train: Uh... you see the train doesn't stop at Tucumcari.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [stuffs his Bible into his bag] This train'll stop at Tucumcari...

[after Mortimer opens safe, Indio declares a cooling off time for the loot]

El Indio: [to Mortimer] And you will wait a month to get your share.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Naturally! I'll be in the tavern.

Tomaso: [as his family are led away] They're both innocent, I was the one you know that.

El Indio: [two shots ring out] I know. I'm sure you hate me just enough.

Nino: Slim. A change of plan.

[he beckons Slim over]

Slim, member of Indio's gang: What is it Nino?

Nino: Indio wants you to...

[he stabs Slim and releases the prisoners]

Nino: Here are your guns without bullets. And listen don't let Indio find you both around.

'Baby' Red Cavanaugh: I didn't hear what the bet was.

Monco: Your life.

Groggy: Indio calls and Groggy comes running.

El Indio: And Sancho?

Groggy: If you're waiting for Sancho I'll come back in another four years. He's in prison. No amore, no dinero, no sun.

[Mortimer has just recovered the watch from Indio, which contains a picture of the woman that Indio raped]

Monco: [peers at the picture] There seems to be a family resemblance.

[He hands Mortimer the similar watch with the same picture he had taken earlier]

Monco: Here.

Cuccillo: [Looking at dead body] Who did it?

El Indio: Why don't you look at the knife?

Cuccillo: [short pause] It's mine.

El Indio: And it shouldn't be there, should it?

Monco: Why this hotel and not some other?

Fernando: You probably wouldn't that other place as much, senor. At that place you'd stay up half the night shooting cockroaches. At this hotel, the rooms will cost you so much less. And there's a landlady at this one, senor!

Monco: Married?

Fernando: Yes, but she doesn't care!

Monco: [Examining Mortimer's gun] How can somebody in my business go around with a contraption like this?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: That contraption almost sent you to your grave.

Fernando: [Points] That's the bank! As soon as I get some money, I'll put it in.

Monco: But you're gonna have to earn it first.

Monco: Tell me, Colonel... Were you ever young?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Yup. And just as reckless as you. Then one day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.

Monco: What's that?

[Mortimer shoots a glance at him]

Monco: Or is the question indiscreet?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [pause, then] No. No, the question isn't indiscreet. But the answer could be.

Monco: Which way we headed?

El Indio: North.

Monco: North? Along Rio Bravo Canyon?

El Indio: Why not?

Monco: Seems like a pretty good place for an ambush to me.

El Indio: You know a better way to go?

Monco: Yeah, south.

El Indio: Hm... ride to the border?

El Indio: [Talking about Agua Caliente] Yes, I have many friends here. It looks just like a morgue. But look out. It could be one so easily.

[Looks at Groggy]

El Indio: They don't like strangers, huh?

Groggy: No. They don't like anybody!

Monco: You mind telling me how you got here?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: I just reasoned it out. I figured you'd tell Indio to do just exactly the opposite of what we agreed, and he's suspicious enough to figure out something else. Since El Paso was out of the question, well, here I am!

Old Prophet: I don't know him, I don't know him, I don't know him!

Old Prophet: Well, there was a time when I knew everybody. That was a long time ago, when all this was prairie. But lately everybody's in a hurry, with your damned good-for-nothing trains!

Old Prophet: Disgusting!

He lives next to your place, and I'll put the tracks there, and that'll make you go crazy. What do you say, will you sell out to our company, Prophet?' "Oh, is that so?' says I.

[Grins and chuckles]

Old Prophet: He was *very* anxious for me to sell out. You know what I told him about the railroad? You know what I told him he could do with his railroad?

[pulls his blankets over his head and laughs crazily as a train shoots by]

Old Prophet: [after the train passes] You know what my decision about selling was?

Monco: Well, you said no.

Old Prophet: You're right about that! No to him and his damn trains! I wouldn't, no!

Monco: [Finally has had enough] Look, listen to me, old man! You're supposed to be a prophet, and I didn't come here to listen to you rattle on about trains! I want to find out about this man, it's obvious you don't know anything.

Old Prophet: [Angry] No need to be insulting! If that's all you came here to do, you can clear out of my house fast, before I lose my temper, understand?

[Monco shrugs and gets up to the door]

Old Prophet: *Say*! Where you going, hm?

Monco: [Turns around and smirks] I guess I better leave before you go and lose your temper!

Monco: Tell me, isn't the sheriff supposed to be courageous, loyal, and above all, honest?

Sherrif of White Rocks: Yeah. That he is.

Monco: [Pulls off his sheriff's star and walks out] I think you people need a new sheriff.

Train Conductor: Hey, Mister. You just can't pull the emergency cord and jump off! Tell me, why did you stop that train? If you wanna get off, you're...

[looks at Mortimer's gun]

Train Conductor: Well, the railroad company would might be pleased to make any arrangements for any passenger, if you wanna get off, Dear Sir.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: I did get off. Thanks.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: My boy, you've become rich.

Monco: You mean *we've* become rich, old man.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: No, it's all yours. I think you deserve it.

Monco: What about our partnership?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [smiles] Maybe next time.

Santa Cruz telegraphist: Mister I didn't hear any shots at the bank.I sure would have.

Monco: [points gun at him] You might hear one.The alarm.

Monco: [to the Chinese bag carrier] Take it to the station. The gentleman's leaving.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Hold it. Take it back.

Monco: Take it to the station.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Go inside.

Monco: The station.

El Paso Bank Manager: To try robbing us would be so futile that only a complete fool would attempt it.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Yeah. Or a complete madman.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: One from the outside one from the inside. There's no other way.One of us will have to join Indio's gang.

Monco: Why did you look at me when you said one of us?

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Because they don't know you. Wild sees me and his hump will catch on fire.

Monco: Tell me Colonel... how do you propose that I join up with Indio? Maybe bring him a bunch of roses?

Sancho Perez, Member of Indio's Gang: Amigo, why did you help me out?

Monco: Well that's such an high reward offered on all you gentlemen. That I thought I might just tag along on your next robbery. Might just turn you into the law.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Leave Indio to me.

Monco: All right.

Monco: Tell me, isn't the Sheriff supposed to be courageous, loyal, and above all honest?

Sherrif of White Rocks: Yeah, that he is.

Monco: [grabs his badge and walks outside] I think you people need a new Sheriff.

[leaves the badge and rides off]

Hotel Manager: [after Manco crosses a name off the hotel registrar and checks in] "He's nothing but a wild vicious animal."

Mary - Hotel Manager's Beautiful Wife: [Hotel Manager steps off a stool, walks behind Mary and is approximately 5' 5 - 6" tall] "He's tall!" "Isn't he."

Mary - Hotel Manager's Beautiful Wife: [Mary, with a big smile, watches Manco leave the front desk and lobby]

Hotel Manager: [Hotel Manager walks around Mary to go put a lantern on a cabinet by the front door] "You're just dirty!"

Tucumcari sheriff: [counting the money being given to Mortimer for Guy Calloway's bounty] Seven, eight, nine... there, 1,000 bucks.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: [looks at a wanted poster of 'Red' Cavanagh] What do you know about Cavanagh?

Tucumcari sheriff: About a week ago, he was seen in White Rocks.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Thanks.

Tucumcari sheriff: If it's any interest to you, somebody else dropped in earlier this morning to see me about him.

Col. Douglas Mortimer: Who?

Tucumcari sheriff: I'd never seen him before. He said his name is 'Manco'.
