* We got to stand along side of 'em so that someday they can stand alone.
* How did I know she was married? Women aren't like cattle. They ain't got a brand on their hip to let you know when you're driving another man's stock.

## Dialogue

    Vin: I heard you were riding shotgun for the Overland Stage.
    Chris: I was. My doctor told me to quit. For my health.
    Vin: Why?
    Chris: Too much lead in the air.
    Vin: I came after you so that you'd know there was a price on your head.
    Chris: How much?
    Vin: Five hundred.
    Chris: Dollars?
    Vin: Pesos.
    Vin: I wish I knew for sure.
    Chris: Knew what?
    Vin: Whether I'm here because Chico is a friend of mine, or if I'm just on the prod for a fight like Frank. Killing can get inside you.
    Chris: And you think that's happening to you?
    Vin: Why else would I be here? Sure Chico is a friend of mine. But, hell, I don't even know his last name.
    Chris: Neither do I.
    Vin: Don't it make you wonder?
    Chris: No.
    Vin: How the hell come, Chris?
    Chris: Because in all the years I made my way with a gun, I never once shot a man just to see him fall. If that time ever comes, I'll throw my guns in a water bucket and walk away. So will you.
    Colbee: Had me a quiet woman once. Outside she was calm as Sunday. Inside, she was wild as mountain scenery. I'm going to ride back that way again.
    Luis Emilio Delgado: Where's that?
    Colbee: Sonora town.
    Luis Emilio Delgado: I was there once.
    Colbee: Once? You mean you didn't go back?
    Luis Emilio Delgado: What for?
    Colbee: Well, there's over ten head of females for every male in Sonora, that's for what. And I ought to know - I went through half of them one night. And I would have got around to the rest of 'em, if I hadn't pulled a leg muscle.
    Chris: He wants to know if we're going after them tonight or in the morning.
    Vin: It's a big country and finding them could take a long time.
    Chris: Hell, I haven't been going anywhere for ten years... and neither have you.
    Vin: Ain't it the truth.
    Chris: He's fast!
    Frank: As fast as you are?
    Chris: I'd hate to have to live on the difference.
    Chris: I'm not a religious man, Father, but I'll tell you this: they need you... more now than ever.
    Priest: I've failed them.
    Chris: You failed yourself. You got knocked down. Get up, Father... at least as far as your knees!
    Frank: [Chris watches over the Devil's Spine fallen Bandit's] If your thinking on going out there we better get at it or the hill's going to get higher to climb.
    Chris: How many men does he have left?
    Frank: I counted thirty. We could circle higher come from behind.
    Chris: One Chance in hell!
    Frank: That's better than none at all.
    Chris: [sighs] Saddle the horses.
    Frank: Already did.
    Lopez: [Chris rides into the Devil's Spine] Buenos Tardes senor.
    Chris: Buenos Tardes.
    Lopez: What can we do for you?
    Chris: [Looks to all the slaves] Friend of mine, holding him prisoner, I want him... and all the others.
    Lopez: Just like that?
    Chris: Just like that!
    Lopez: You're either a very stupid or a very brave man senor. One for me and you, we'd both be dead.
    Chris: That will make two of us. You've got five Winchesters pointed at your head.
    Lopez: Professionals?
    Chris: Professionals.
    Lopez: Perhaps we should have a little talk.
    Chris: We just did!
    Lopez: Father, you better go and get Francisco.
    Chris: Don't move Father.
    Lopez: You'd kill a priest?
    Chris: Only if I have to.
    Chris: Well I'll be damned.
    Vin: I doubt that. I doubt that very much.
