The Magnificent Seven1960
[The Seven return from a raid to find Calvera's men holding the village.]
Calvera:
You should not be surprised. My good friend Sotero, he, ah, arranged for them to come in. Comprende? Well, anyway, to business. I could kill you all. You agree? (a long pause) Well, you don't disagree. Anyway, I don't want to kill you.
Chris Adams:
Why so generous?
Calvera:
Practical. They hear about it up north, maybe some friends of yours make more trouble for me - a man who never wants no trouble. We, ah, have a saying here: "A thief who steals from a thief is pardoned for one hundred years." All right, what does that leave? Only one thing. I pardon you. Ride on.
Chris:
Just like that? (snaps fingers)
Calvera:
Si, just like that! (snaps fingers) I'll make it easy for you. You want food? (to henchmen) Give them food. Water? All right, water. Horses? Saddled and waiting. Guns? Your guns, your gunbelts you take off and you put here, now.
...
Calvera:
What I can't understand is why a man like you took this job in the first place. Why, huh?
Chris:
I wonder myself.
Calvera:
Oh, come on, come on. Tell me why.
Vin:
Fella I once knew in El Paso, one day he took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. So I asked him the same question. "Why?"
Calvera:
And?
Vin:
He said it seemed to be a good idea at the time.
Calvera:
Go get your clothes, your saddlebags. Anything you want, take. Your friends in there owe you at least that much.
