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.
Chico : Hey. How can you talk like this? Your gun has got you everything you have. Isn't that true? Hmm? Well, isn't that true?
Vin : Yeah, sure. Everything. After awhile you can call bartenders and faro dealers by their first name - maybe two hundred of 'em! Rented rooms you live in - five hundred! Meals you eat in hash houses - a thousand! Home - none! Wife - none! Kids... none! Prospects - zero. Suppose I left anything out?
Chris Adams : Yeah. Places you're tied down to - none. People with a hold on you - none. Men you step aside for - none.
Lee : Insults swallowed - none. Enemies - none.
Chris Adams : No enemies?
Lee : Alive.
Chico : Well. This is the kind of arithmetic I like.
Chris Adams : Yeah. So did I at your age.

Lee : Yes. The final supreme idiocy. Coming here to hide. The deserter hiding out in the middle of a battlefield.

Lee : [Grabs at three flies - opens his hand] One. There was a time when I'd have gotten all three.

[Chris and Vin enter their room, to see Lee sitting there, waiting]
Lee : Remember me?
Chris Adams : Yup.
Lee : You need men for a job in Mexico? How long?
Chris Adams : Four, maybe six weeks.
Lee : That ought to do it. How much does the job pay?
Chris Adams : I thought you were looking for the Johnson brothers, Lee.
Lee : [smirking] I found them. Now, how much does the job pay?
Chris Adams : Twenty dollars.
Lee : I'll have the money before I leave. It should just take care of my last two days' rent.
