Villa Rides

[Villa has ordered Fierro to ride in the airplane to prevent Lee from flying away]

Rodolfo Fierro:
No.

Pancho Villa:
What do you mean, "No"?

Rodolfo Fierro:
I mean "No".

Pancho Villa:
Why not?

Rodolfo Fierro:
Because! Because... Because I don't think he is a good pilot!

Pancho Villa:
Hmmm... You are probably right. But it doesn't matter. If he is no good, you shoot him and fly it yourself.

Rodolfo Fierro:
Me?

Pancho Villa:
Of course! Any child could fly one of these things.

Rodolfo Fierro:
You could fly it?

Pancho Villa:
Of course.

Rodolfo Fierro:
Fly it.

[repeated lines]

Rodolfo Fierro:
Who cooked this?

Ramirez:
Me, Jefe.

Rodolfo Fierro:
No, you didn't!

Ramirez:
No, I didn't.

Rodolfo Fierro:
COOK IT!

Lee Arnold:
You mean he was here in time to stop this?

Urbina:
Well, you see, it is like this: the people, they love my General, and they love Mexico... But they did not hate her enemies enough to fight. And now they do.

Parral Station Lieutenant:
Stop for inspection.

Urbina:
Inspect your mother!

Girl in restaurant:
I want you to know that I've never been so humiliated in all my life. To leave me here, sitting alone... And in front of all El Paso!

Lee Arnold:
Why don't you do me a favor, will you? Just shut up. [to waiter] May I have the check, please?

Rodolfo Fierro:
Pancho. Don't argue with him. Shoot him, and let's go.

Pancho Villa:
No. No, we don't do that any more.

Client in barber shop:
Pretty funny games they play down there, huh?

Lee Arnold:
What about Villa? Did you hear anything about him?

Client in barber shop:
Yeah... Yeah, he escaped from jail in Mexico City. Huerta has practically his entire army looking for him. Must want him pretty bad, huh?

Lee Arnold:
Yeah, I guess he does.

Client in barber shop:
Hey, Lee. Is this 'Villa' a friend of yours?

Lee Arnold:
Yeah, I know him.

Pancho Villa:
Everyone is not like you.

President Francisco Madero:
My friend, it's very much better that I die a fool trusting too much, than live a tyrant trusting no one at all.

Pancho Villa:
[Lee is preparing to take off] Wait. Fiero is going with you.

Lee Arnold:
What? Now wait a minute, Chief. Not with... Chief, it's tough enough up there as it is.

Pancho Villa:
No, if you go up there alone, you could fly away. If you try that with Fiero... Fiero will shoot you.

Lee Arnold:
Oh? And without a pilot, what's Fiero gonna do?

Pancho Villa:
Fiero will shoot you.

Lee Arnold:
[thinks, and then grimaces]

Lee Arnold:
After all you've been through, you still believe that he's for the people?

Fina:
He's a good man.

Lee Arnold:
How 'bout me? Am I good man, too?

Fina:
Yes.

Lee Arnold:
Well, I'll tell you one thing, honey: I'm as good a man as Villa, and that's not saying a hell of a lot for either one of us.

Capt. Herrera:
You think your President Madero is such a great man; all for the peons. He's not for you - WE're for you! [hangs a villager]

Urbina:
You, gringo. [waves for Lee to follow]

Lee Arnold:
Who, me?

Urbina:
Do you see any other gringos around here?

Lee Arnold:
I'll fly for you, but I want something.

Pancho Villa:
What?

Lee Arnold:
[motions to Fierro] I want to blow his brains out.

Pancho Villa:
I don't think he'll let you do that.

Lee Arnold:
Well, then let these men go.

Pancho Villa:
All right. How many?

Lee Arnold:
How man... all of them! Their officers are dead; they can't hurt you; they don't want to fight any more.

Pancho Villa:
No. Just one.

Lee Arnold:
One?

Pancho Villa:
One. Pick him! Go on, gringo. It's your chance to save one life. Go ahead.

Lee Arnold:
[to Fierro] You pick him.

Rodolfo Fierro:
[to guards] Let one go! [they watch as one Colorado vaults the wall]
