Henry Mendez
- [last lines]
- Mexican Bandit: [as he is just about to die having been shot by John Russell] I would like at least to know his name.
- Mendez: He was called John Russell.
- John Russell: Hit something, Mendez, first the men, then the horses.
- Mendez: I don't know. Just to sit here and wait to kill them?
- John Russell: If there was some other way, we'd do it.
- Mendez: Maybe we can keep going and try to outrun them.
- John Russell: If you run, they're gonna catch you, they're gonna kill you. You believe that more than you believe anything.
- Mendez: All right.
- John Russell: And try not to puke. You may have to lie in it for a long time.
- Lamar Dean: [Russell has climbed to the top of the stage] What are you doin' up there?
- John Russell: Gettin' my things.
- Lamar Dean: You figurin' on going some place?
- John Russell: Why stay here?
- Lamar Dean: Just how far do you thin you're gonna get?
- John Russell: That's to find out.
- Lamar Dean: [takes one water bag] Now how far did you say you were gonna get?
- Mendez: Leave us some water!
- Lamar Dean: [shoots the remaining water bag] Now how far?
- John Russell: Oh about as far as Delgado's.
- Lamar Dean: [stops, turns and looks back] What does that mean?
- John Russell: Maybe if we all get thirsty we'll go to Delgado's and get some *mezcal*.
- Mendez: You can be white, Mexican, or Indian, but I think it pays you to be a white man for a while. Put yourself on the winning side for a change.
- John Russell: Is that what you are?
- Mendez: Well, a Mexican's closer to it than a White Mountain Apache, I can tell you that!
