José Esqueda
- Jose Esqueda: The strong will fight the strong, Señora, for possession of the weak. You see, it's not a personal matter at all.
- Cordelia Cameron: And the meek shall never inherit the earth.
- Jose Esqueda: Only six feet of it, Señora.
- Jose Esqueda: Do not think that because I talk much, I see little. She is truly beautiful to see. But, dangerous to touch - like a flame. Like a flame of ice. Can you imagine it, Rio? And from another world that looks upon ours with contempt. Her look was like a *slap* across our faces. Did you not feel the sting, Rio? Is it not true?
- Jose Esqueda: Can you imagine a smile on Barton's face?
- Rio: It's the only place where a smile could be ugly.
- Jose Esqueda: They will unite and become strong. They will hunt us down. If we are unlucky enough to avoid their bullets, they will hang us! You wish to see that day, Rio? You thinking I'm afraid.
- Rio: Only of hanging. What does it matter to the dead man how he died?
- Jose Esqueda: They'll hang many men, Rio. And they will hang many more. But, not Jose Esqueda!
- Jose Esqueda: In the name of the law, Sheriff, I am taking this town.
- Sheriff Parker: What law?
- Jose Esqueda: The law of the bullet.
- Jose Esqueda: I understand him, Señora. He likes to be insolent. He likes to be insolent. He hides behind his contempt like some women do behind their beauty.
- [laughs]
- Jose Esqueda: But, I understand him. I do not understand you.
- Cordelia Cameron: I wish you would try, Señor.
- Jose Esqueda: I'm finding it irresistible.
- Jose Esqueda: What a man takes, he has to keep at his own risk - whether it be a country or a woman. It's that simple, Señora. There is nothing more to say about it.
- Jose Esqueda: I'm gonna take them. I'm gonna take them. I'm gonna give it to you. The money, the wine and the women!
