Horsethief Shorty
- Kyril Montana: Who is El Brazo Onofre?
- Sheriff Bernabe Montoya: That's Onofre Martinez's arm. He lost it in an accident some time ago, and nobody ever found it. People around here think it leads a life if its own.
- Horsethief Shorty: Yeah - something turns up missing in Milagro, and people feel El Brazo stole it. Young girls returning home at night from their date without their underwear usually blame him.
- Horsethief Shorty: Be a shame for it to end like that; gettin' kinda interested in what happens next.
- Jerry G: I know this town. These are my people.
- Horsethief Shorty: Jerry, your own people would like to see you strung up by your nuts. You're a forest service cop; I'm surprised that that fat little green truck of yours doesn't blow up every morning when you get in it and step on the gas.
- Jerry G: Nobody's gonna go off half-cocked just because Joe Mondragon gets arrested. I know this town. These are my people.
- Horsethief Shorty: Jerry, your own people would like to see you strung up by your nuts.
- Ladd Devine: That's pretty good thinkin' for an old mule.
- Horsethief Shorty: Well, if you pay 'em, they ain't gonna slit your throat.
- Horsethief Shorty: Son of a gun. Sure got some huevos on him.
- Flossie Devine: Huevos?
- Ladd Devine: Eggs.
- Flossie Devine: Eggs?
- Horsethief Shorty: You know, balls.
- Flossie Devine: [laughs] Huevos. I like that. That's cute.
