Quotes22

  • [English subtitled version]
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: Hey, you. That's no way to transport the dead. Against regulations. I'm Gideon Burnett, the new sheriff of Snow Hill.
  • Loco: Yes, I saw the star. You do look like a pig breeder, but with that on, you look more like a pig breeder who plays a sheriff.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [to his gang] Calm down, friends. Since when are wolves afraid of wolves?
  • Sanchez: Never, Loco.
  • [Sanchez laughs]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • [Silenzio is trying to provoke Loco]
  • Loco: Say, boy... you're trying to force me to draw, ain't you? I know your system. And I know you're supposed to try and kill me... but I'm not losing my temper; of that, I'm sure. If anybody draws first, it's gotta be you.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • [Loco is aiming a rifle at the sheriff as he stands on a frozen lake]
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: Loco! Now listen: killing a sheriff will cost you plenty. If I were you, I'd think it over!
  • Loco: Uh-uh, I don't need to. You're on the side of the law. We, we're on the side of the law of survival... survival of the fittest!
  • [Loco shoots part of the frozen lake, the sheriff screams as he falls in]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [to his gang] Now, in Snow Hill... we can't miss a couple of opportunities. First, all those outlaws in the mountains are headin' there. There's a modest price on their heads. Still, it's a powerful lot... when you add 'em all together, and it's nice and legal, too. But then we have this other one...
  • Sanchez: Who's that?
  • Loco: The mute who shoots thumbs off. The one who hates bounty killers...
  • Sanchez: Uh-uh. Since you murdered Sheriff Burnett, I don't go for that.
  • Loco: But it was the mute who killed your brother...
  • Sanchez: The *hell* did you say?
  • Loco: He had no chance to defend himself.
  • Sanchez: [to the others] C'mon!
  • [the killers ride to Snow Hill]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Regina: A hard-working man like you should be served by a lady like me.
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: Yeah, I guess.
  • [the Sheriff takes a drink]
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: Pretty good coffee... but it'd taste a lot nicer if you'd come on over, and pour it for me... regularly.
  • Loco: That's a big request, sheriff. She waits on the whole west territory of the U.S. and Mexico.
  • [the Sheriff giggles as Regina leaves in anger]
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: I'll teach you to talk to a lady like that!
  • Loco: [as the Sheriff punches the bars of Loco's cell, hurting his hand] Oh, I'm sorry. I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • [Burnett, Loco and Silenzio are riding the stagecoach to Snow Hill]
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: [referring to Loco's wanted posters and the corpses on top of the stage] Hey, which are they? According to these posters, there ought to be four. Who are the two on top?
  • Loco: The second and the third... there's another one, waiting to be buried, soon as I've been paid.
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: You know what it says here? "Dead or Alive." I'll lay a bet you never take 'em alive.
  • Loco: Those are dangerous men, Sheriff. That's why there's this other case in the law. And it'd be too dangerous. They're against God, humanity, moral and public order. Killing them is a good thing, believe me.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [to Pauline after capturing the outlaws] I want the mute to come shoot it out with me. Just him an' me. Tell him if he don't... I'm gonna shoot every one of these people here. My friends won't interfere. So it's my life against every one of theirs. Go fetch him; you know where he is.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [to Silenzio] And now, boy... I've been waitin' a long time for an amusin' day like this.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [after shooting Pauline's husband] Now, say "goodbye" to your husband - always respect the dead!
  • Loco: [he mounts his horse while she runs to the body] Now, pack your husband in the snow. That'll keep him fresh 'till I collect his bounty. So don't you bury him, you hear? Well, Petes. What times we live in... when a black's worth as much as a white man!
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: Can't a man provide for his old age?
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: I don't think you're gonna make it.
  • [last lines]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [after his men murder all the outlaws in the saloon] There's a bounty on each one. We'll come back and collect 'em later... all according to the law.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • [Loco has been dragging an outlaw through the snow to torture him]
  • Outlaw: Stop! Stop! I swear, Loco... I don't know nothin'!
  • Loco: [shows him a wanted poster] Tell me where he is, and I'll let you go.
  • Outlaw: I... I don't know...
  • Loco: Aw, no. You know alright - he was with you in the mountains.
  • Outlaw: I don't know where he went to - I swear I don't - let me go...
  • Loco: Hiya!
  • [Loco continues dragging him through the snow on horseback]
  • Outlaw: Stop! I swear to God, Loco... I don't know nothin'! I don't know nothin'!
  • Loco: Why don't you tell me? Tell me now, or don't you wanna live?
  • Outlaw: [choking] I... In the mill... at, the edge of town... near... there's a wife's house... I think he's got a gun there...
  • Loco: Thank you.
  • [Loco shoots him]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Regina: [aiming Pollicut's revolver at Loco] If you come here, Loco, you'll find out I can shoot a pistol too!
  • Loco: Oh, come on. Drop that, Regina, you're wasting your breath on us.
  • Regina: If I kill you... I'll be glad, ya hear?
  • Loco: You saw that woman shoot first!
  • [Loco shoots Regina, who shoots his hat off his head]
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: No. If you want me to kill him, put a good price on his head.
  • Henry Pollicut: You ought to do this for nothin'! It's in your own interest, Loco. Have you forgotten who he is?
  • Loco: I know him. He picks a fight, and when somebody draws, then, he shoots them!
  • [chuckles]
  • Loco: Then the law calls it "self-defence". Now, I'm no fool... he's too fast for me.
  • Henry Pollicut: But you're the man he's here to get. He's paid by Pauline. He'll pick a fight with you.
  • Loco: I can control my temper; he won't shoot off my thumbs.
  • Loco: [wiggles his thumb in front of Pollicut, who cringes] Uh-uh. And he ain't gonna kill me in self-defence, either. What did you want to get rid of Pauline's husband for? I shot him 'cause that's what you paid me for, but nothin' more. If you want people shot, you pay.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: It's all according to the law, you should know.
  • Henry Pollicut: Yes. You see sheriff, since our friend here has to have, er... irrefutable proof of identity, as the law requires, he, ah, shows the bodies and the reward posters when he collects. It's all quite precise.
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: Correct, huh? But, er... what's your interest in this? You're just a banker, and all you gotta do is advance me the money to pay off this man.
  • Henry Pollicut: Oh, true, true, of course, but aside from my small percentage, all cash is required to change hands in my presence... to make sure the bounty killer has been honest. The law is quite precise, sheriff.
  • Loco: In this town, as in the whole United States, the law's the important thing. Am I right?
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: All right! Pay him off and get rid of him.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [after hauling bodies onto a stagecoach] What's wrong Sheriff? Money is money. And I'm getting old, too.
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: I don't think you're gonna get old. Sooner or later, you're gonna meet up with someone faster than you.
  • Loco: Well, that'll be an amusing day. Mighty!
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: [out the window to the driver] Hey, Pull up here!
  • Stage driver: Whoa. What's the matter?
  • Loco: I've got another piece of freight to collect.
  • Loco: [trudges through the snow to collect another bounty killing] Give me a hand and I'll buy you another drink.
  • Sheriff Gideon Burnett: [whispering to Silenzio] How many has he got?
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: Don't you sass me.
  • [English subtitled version]
  • Loco: If you care about your wife, come out! Go. I want you alive. No matter if dead or alive, I still gt the reward. What do you fear? Come on now, give up. Throw down that rifle and come out with your hands up.
  • [Pauline's husband gives up, Loco immediately shoots him dead]
