Village Boy 2: We're ashamed to live here. Our fathers are cowards. O'Reilly: Don't you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they ...
Calvera: If God didn't want them sheared, he would not have made them sheep.
[Calvera has just captured the Seven] Calvera: What I don't understand is why a man like you took the job in the first place, hmm? Why, huh? Chris: I wonder myself. Calvera: No, come on, come on, tell me why. Vin: It's like a fellow I once knew in El...
Vin: We deal in lead friend.
[Villagers tell Chris they collected everything of value in their village to hire gunmen] Chris Adams: I have been offered a lot for my work, but never everything.
Chris: You forget one thing. We took a contract. Vin: It's sure not the kind any court would enforce. Chris: That's just the kind you've got to keep.
Chico: Villages like this they make up a song about every big thing that happens. Sing them for years. Chris Adams: You think it's worth it? Chico: Don't you? Chris Adams: It's only a matter of knowing how to shoot a gun. Nothing big about that. Chic...
Old Man: You worry about yourself. Are you ready for him? [refers to Calvera] Old Man: What if he comes now, huh? Vin: Reminds me of that fellow back home that fell off a ten story building. Chris: What about him? Vin: Well, as he was falling people ...
Chris: Morning. I'm a friend of Harry Luck's. He tells me you're broke. O'Reilly: [chopping wood] Nah. I'm doing this because I'm an eccentric millionaire.
[Britt has just shot a fleeing bandit off his horse] Chico: Ah, that was the greatest shot I've ever seen. Britt: The worst! I was aiming at the horse.
Village Boy 1: If you get killed, we take the rifle and avenge you. Village Boy 2: And we see to it there's always fresh flowers on your grave. O'Reilly: That's a mighty big comfort. Village Boy 2: I told you he'll appreciate that! O'Reilly: Well, no...
Calvera: [dying - to Chris] You came back - for a place like this. Why? A man like you. Why?
Calvera: Generosity... that was my first mistake. I leave these people a little bit extra, and then they hire these men to make trouble. It shows you, sooner or later, you must answer for every good deed.
Hilario: The feeling I felt in my chest this morning, when I saw Calvera run away from us, that's a feeling worth dying for. Have you ever felt something like that? Vin: Not for a long, long time. I envy you.
Vin: Twenty dollars? You must be living in style. Lee: Yes... I have the most stylish corner of the filthy storeroom out back. That and one plate of beans. Ten dollars a day.
Vin: What're you gonna do when Calvera comes? Old Man: At my age, a little excitement is welcome. Don't worry. Why would he kill me? Bullets cost money.
Vin: You know the first time I took a job as a hired gun, fellow told me, "Vin, you can't afford to care." There's your problem. Chris: One thing I don't need is somebody telling me my problem. Vin: Like I said before, that's your problem. You got in...
Britt: Nobody throws me my own guns and says run. Nobody.
