- Tom Herrera: I'm sorry about your father.
- Nancy Dekker: He died the way he was born...the way he lived.
- Tom Herrera: No tears?
- Nancy Dekker: Later.
- Tom Herrera: He taught you well, Nancy.
- Nancy Dekker: He taught me without teaching. That's the best way.
- Peso: Do you like me?
- Tom Herrera: You're a hero to every kid in the territory. But I never saw much sense in putting a thief on a pedestal.
- Peso: I had always hoped that you would follow in my footsteps. But, no. You had to take after your mother. Law and order. Ichi-wa-wa, how that woman made my head ache. She was the talkiest wife I ever had.
- Tom Herrera: All right, Peso, you can stay.
- Peso: Thanks, Tom.
- Tom Herrera: But I'll take your guns.
- Peso: Oh, there's no reason for that, boy. My guns? Why I'd be chilly without 'em. I might even catch cold.
- Fanny Webson: We've got our plans all set. So if you ever get to San Francisco, Tom, look us up.
- Tom Herrera: I might.
- Fanny Webson: We'll have at least a dozen different ways for a man to lose his money - and enjoy the fact that he lost it.
- Peso: What's-a matter? You sick?
- Nancy Dekker: No, jealous. How do you fight a woman like that?
- Peso: The same as you would fight any other fight. Pick your position, keep the wind at your back and shoot to kill.
- Peso: Remember, Juanito. Small heads, big bellies. Always aim for the big things in life and you'll grow up to be a great man just like Peso.
- Cyril R. Snowden: Who is Peso?
- Les: Well, you might say he's the most sought after feller in the Southwest.
- Ed Cotten: If they ever get any laws in this territory, he'd be the first man in jail.
- Cyril R. Snowden: Take my word for it, Major, I know this country very well, there's *nothing* to worry about.
- Maj. Dekker: If that's your opinion, sir, you don't know this country at all!
- Peso: Pardon me, Señora, are you sure we have never met before?
- Fanny Webson: No, as I said before at dinner, it's quite unlikely. Though, it's a thrilling thought.
- Peso: I always remember what is worth remembering.
- Tom Herrera: Look, Lorraine, let your hair down, show me what you're like. Be honest!
- Lorraine Sayburn: Be honest, he says, just like that.
- Tom Herrera: Yeah.
- Lorraine Sayburn: I live by lying, not by telling the truth. But, I'll try.
- Lorraine Sayburn: What do you want me to do, Tom? Say please? Please, listen to me, please forgive me, please give me another chance? If you want me to crawl and beg, believe me, I will!
- Cyril R. Snowden: You know the Apaches?
- Peso: Sure, I do. Not long ago they threw a little powwow in my honor. Fire water, courtesy of Peso.
- Cyril R. Snowden: But this isn't legal, is it?
- Peso: Oh, no, that's a federal offense - for the white man. But that night, I was pure Apache! Ahhhhh-Ichi-wa-wa!
- Fanny Webson: How exciting!
- Lorraine Sayburn: If you wanted me, I'd try to make a go of it. It might not work. But, I'd try - like no woman ever tried before. You wanted me once.
- Ed Cotten: The women are tucked away for the night, Tom; I don't figure they'll do much sleepin' though.
- Tom Herrera: Where's Peso?
- Juke: He said he was goin' in to see if there was any of Madre's coffee left. That a man must have an iron constitution.
- Peso: You would like to be a bandito? Well, that's natural considering who your father was. But, it's not all riding and playing the guitar, you know.
- Luis: I wouldn't be afraid.
- Peso: It's not easy, boy. It takes a long time learning. And, believe me, it's just as hard to make a crooked dollar, as it is to make a straight one. Of course, you are your own boss.
- Cyril R. Snowden: Herrera, what's going on here?
- Tom Herrera: Add it up for yourself, Mr. Snowdon, I got a storeroom full of gold in there and a desert full of Apaches out there.
- Fanny Webson: Hey, hey, I've got a bottle of eight year old stashed away, get that cup over there and we'll drink a toast to those good old days.
- Peso: It's been a long time, Fanny. A long time.
- Fanny Webson: To Peso, the gayest, the most gallant, the most man man in this whole cockeyed world.
- Peso: To Fanny, the loveliest, the most beautiful protector of the homeless, professional in the north of Rio Grande.
- Peso: Say, how did you come to ever leave that Faro table in Las Cruces?
- Fanny Webson: I was gettin' a little too close for comfort. That law can have a hot breath, you know.
- Peso: Ah, you speak the truth woman. That's why I work in the territory. There are no laws here. No laws for me to break. You know, I really hate to ever break the law.
- Fanny Webson: I'm going where there's some really high-line action.
- Peso: Yeah? Where's that?
- Fanny Webson: San Francisco.
- Tom Herrera: Being afraid becomes you.
- Nancy Dekker: You mean because it's womanly to be afraid?
- Tom Herrera: Maybe.
- Nancy Dekker: I didn't think I had to be all woman and filly with you! I thought you were one man with more sense .
- Tom Herrera: Well, take it easy. I didn't mean to get you mad.
- Nancy Dekker: Well, you have! I'm mad! I'm mad, all right.
- Tom Herrera: Well, being mad becomes you too. Now.
- Nancy Dekker: Besides, I've got my orders. Pick your position, keep the wind at your back, and shoot to kill.
- [moves in for a long kiss]
- Nancy Dekker: Well, does she kiss any better.
- Tom Herrera: I can't make up my mind.
- Nancy Dekker: Well, let me help you decide.
- [long kiss]
- Peso: It looks like you're having my old problem.
- Tom Herrera: What do you mean?
- Peso: Two Señoritas fighting over you.
- Tom Herrera: Which one would you pick?
- Peso: You know me, Tommy. I always have the strength of character to pick 'em both.
- Fanny Webson: Remember, you're the greatest, the bravest, the best man man in this whole cockeyed world!
- Peso: Ah, Fanny. You sure know how to comfort a man, don't you.
- Fanny Webson: That's something a woman never forgets.
- Peso: Ah, scratch my neck, Fanny.
- Fanny Webson: Yes.
- Lorraine Sayburn: Why should we all suffer just because he's killed some miserable Apache during a miserable Apache brawl.
- Peso: All right, it's your hand. You play it anyway you like.
- Pike Curtis: Get them clothes off.
- Peso: Huh? Oh, no, Pike. I lose my dignity.
- Pike Curtis: You heard me. Start peelin'.
- Peso: Ah, I don't mind showing my muscles, but, what is all this getting us?
- Tom Herrera: Seeing you're so useful, how about gettin' me a cup of coffee.
- Nancy Dekker: What's in it for me?
