Mexican Bandit : [as he is just about to die having been shot by John Russell] I would like at least to know his name.
Mendez : He was called John Russell.
-
Mendez : Hombre, which name today, which do you want?
John Russell : Anything but bastard will do.
-
Mendez : You can be white, Mexican, or Indian, but I think it pays you to be a white man for a while. Put yourself on the winning side for a change.
John Russell : Is that what you are?
Mendez : Well, a Mexican's closer to it than a White Mountain Apache, I can tell you that!
-
John Russell : Hit something, Mendez, first the men, then the horses.
Mendez : I don't know. Just to sit here and wait to kill them?
John Russell : If there was some other way, we'd do it.
Mendez : Maybe we can keep going and try to outrun them.
John Russell : If you run, they're gonna catch you, they're gonna kill you. You believe that more than you believe anything.
Mendez : All right.
John Russell : And try not to puke. You may have to lie in it for a long time.

Lamar Dean : [Russell has climbed to the top of the stage] What are you doin' up there?
John Russell : Gettin' my things.
Lamar Dean : You figurin' on going some place?
John Russell : Why stay here?
Lamar Dean : Just how far do you thin you're gonna get?
John Russell : That's to find out.
Lamar Dean : [takes one water bag] Now how far did you say you were gonna get?
Mendez : Leave us some water!
Lamar Dean : [shoots the remaining water bag] Now how far?
John Russell : Oh about as far as Delgado's.
Lamar Dean : [stops, turns and looks back] What does that mean?
John Russell : Maybe if we all get thirsty we'll go to Delgado's and get some *mezcal*.
