- Chino Valdez: That's the way Indians bury their dead. They'd rather be close to the sun than have dirt thrown in their faces.
- Chino Valdez: Now what the hell is that?
- Louise: It's a sidesaddle.
- Chino Valdez: A sidesaddle? You mean to tell me you're gonna put that on the side of a horse?
- Jamie Wagner: Are you going to bust him?
- Chino Valdez: Do you know what it means... bustin' a horse?
- Jamie Wagner: Showin' it you can't be thrown.
- Chino Valdez: No, that ain't all of it. Bustin' a horse means just exactly that: you bust him. And that takes all the spunk out of a horse... it breaks him. And I'm not gonna bust a Valdez horse.
- Chino Valdez: Anyway, a bunch of Indians stole my horses once. I went along and stole them back. And while they was chasing me, I came off my horse and got run over.
- Jamie Wagner: Why didn't they kill you?
- Chino Valdez: Hell, boy, they was my friends!
- Chino Valdez: Well, like they say: you can always pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives.
- Jamie Wagner: I ain't never going to get mixed up with women folk.
- Chino Valdez: Well, what a man says and what a man does doesn't always end up the same thing.
- [Chino criticizes Louise's riding technique]
- Chino Valdez: Aw, that's terrible - terrible! You're still bouncin'.
- Louise: I have to bounce some!
- Chino Valdez: Yeah, I guess so. You have a lot of bouncy parts.
