The Wild Bunch quotes

  • Pike Bishop: With the way the Generalissimo's cleaned out this part of the country, he ought to have a lot

    [of silver]

    Pike Bishop: to spare.

    Dutch Engstrom: Eh, "Generalissimo", hell! He's just another bandit grabbin' all he can for himself.

    Pike Bishop: [amused] Like some others I could mention?

    [laughs]

    Dutch Engstrom: [serious] Not so's you'd know it, Mr. Bishop. We ain't nothin' like him! We don't HANG nobody! I hope, someday, these people here kick him, and the rest of that scum like him, right into their graves.

    Angel: We will. If it takes forever.

  • Lyle Gorch: [the Bunch is riding into Angel's village] Hey, Angel! Why don't you tell your folks to feed them dogs?

    Angel: Any insult to my family while we are here and I will kill you!

    Lyle Gorch: Hey, Angel; do you have a sister?

    Angel: [angrily] Si!

    Lyle Gorch: [very politely] I'd be pleased to make her acquaintance. And that of your mama too!

    Tector Gorch: [laughing] And the same goes for your grandma, too Sonny!
