Guns of the Magnificent Seven

[first lines]

Col. Diego:
Where is the meeting?

Tortured Prisoner:
In the church.

Col. Diego:
Is Quintero with them?

Tortured Prisoner:
Yes.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
And what about Lobero?

Quintero:
He is a bandit and a thief.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
But it is hard to respect the law when you feel the heel of its boot on your back.

Quintero:
I'm not so sure that what Lobero wants for the revolution is the same as what we want.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
He says he wants to help and he has many guns.

Quintero:
Do you trust him?

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
[shakes his head] Only his guns.

Quintero:
For the revolution, I would make a bargain with the devil, so why not with Lobero?

Keno:
You want to know my name before you hang me?

Judge:
Not particularly. Just your last words.

Keno:
I demand a recount.

Judge:
Stealin' a man's horse in this country is worse than stealin' a man's wife. There's been too much of that goin' on recently and I'm going to put a stop to it.

Keno:
Horse stealing or wife stealing?

Judge:
Anybody in favor of hanging this man, say "Aye."

Crowd:
Aye!

Judge:
Against?

Chris Adams:
Nooo.

Judge:
And who says, "No"?

Chris Adams:
Me.

Judge:
Just who are you to say, "No"?

Chris Adams:
Who do you have to be to say "No" to a rigged court - stretchin' the neck of this poor slob?

Chris Adams:
I need help - more men.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
We have the men - quick with the guns, but slow with the brains.

Chris Adams:
Six men - not enough to attract suspicion - just enough to do the job.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
Chris, can I fight with you? Oh, it's not for the money - I could not take it. It's for Quintero.

Chris Adams:
Not on the basis of what you did against Keno.

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
I'm young, I'm strong, I'm angry and I will learn. Besides, my cousin says seven is a lucky number for you.

Keno:
Why do your people have such long names?

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
I don't know. Perhaps it's because we all have such short lives.

Chris Adams:
This is a rough go, huh, Cassie?

Cassie:
Yeah. If I stay here any longer, I'll end up in jail.

Chris Adams:
Wouldn't you rather blow one up?

Cassie:
For money or for laughs?

Chris Adams:
About as much as you'd make in a year - a hundred dollars. Not many laughs.

[the one-armed Slater explains his situation]

Slater:
I'm a freak, Keno. Half man and half gun. Why, I can't whip a six-year-old girl in a fair fight, but I can blow a man's eyeballs out at a hundred yards - in a sandstorm.

Emiliano Zapata:
Chris, how old do you have to be to die?

Levi Morgan:
You know, it takes a man my age to appreciate a real woman. She's worth it, too.

Keno:
Oh, I appreciate them, Levi. Every one I've ever had. I just appreciated the hell out of 'em!

[last lines]

Emiliano Zapata:
Max, what did Chris say?

Lt. Maximiliano O'Leary:
He said, "A coward dies many deaths... the brave only one."

Slater:
I'm a one-armed gunney.

Cassie:
Could be worse... you could be a one-armed *black* gunney.

Max:
[referring to Lobero] A pig with armor is still but a pig.

Chris Adams:
[putting a lit cigar to Lobero's face] If you move any way but back you're gonna lose that eye.

Cassie:
You were married? What happened?

Slater:
She found a whole man.

Cassie:
I guess that makes her half a woman. You're better off without her.
