Pike Bishop : What would you do in his place? He gave his word.
Dutch Engstrom : He gave his word to a railroad.
Pike Bishop : It's his word.

-
Tector Gorch : Silver rings.
Dutch Engstrom : [upset] "Silver rings", your butt! Them's washers! Damn!
Lyle Gorch : Washers. Washers. We shot our way out of that town for a dollar's worth of steel holes!
Pike Bishop : They set it up.
Lyle Gorch : "They"? Who in the hell is "they?"
Sykes : [laughs hysterically] "They"? Why, they is the plain and fancy they, that's who "they" is! Caught you, didn't they? Tied a tin can to your tail. Led you in and waltzed you out again. Oh my, what a bunch! Big tough ones, hunh? Here you are with a handful of holes, a thumb up your ass, and a big grin to pass the time of day with. They? Who the hell is "they?"
Pike Bishop : Railroad men... bounty hunters... Deke Thornton.

Pike Bishop : I'd like to make one good score and back off...
Dutch Engstrom : Back off to what?
-
Pike Bishop : [sarcastically] You boys want to move on or stay here and give him a - decent burial?
Tector Gorch : He was a good man, and I think we oughta bury him.
Pike Bishop : He's dead! And he's got a lot of good men back there to keep him company!
Lyle Gorch : Too damn many!
Dutch Engstrom : I think the boys are right. I'd like to say a few words for the dear, dead departed.
[removes his hat]
Dutch Engstrom : And maybe a few hymns'd be in order. Followed by a church supper. With a choir!
Lyle Gorch : You crazy bastards! Both of you!
-
Angel : Would you give guns to someone to kill your father or your mother or your brother?
Pike Bishop : Ten thousand cuts an awful lot of family ties.
Angel : My people have no guns. But with guns, my people could fight! If I could take guns... I would go with you.
Dutch Engstrom : Hey, uh, how many cases of rifles did Zamora say was in that shipment?
Pike Bishop : Sixteen.
Dutch Engstrom : Well, give him one.
Pike Bishop : All right. One case... and one case of ammo; but you give up your share of the gold.
Angel : I will.
Pike Bishop : We know you will.
Sykes : I'm sure glad we got that settled.

[the Bunch has just escaped from bounty hunters by blowing up a bridge]
Dutch Engstrom : At least we won't have to worry about Deke Thornton.
Pike Bishop : [laughs] Hell, no; not after ridin' a half a case of dynamite into the river!
Sykes : [calmly] Well, don't expect him to stay there! He'll be along... and you know it!
-
Dutch Engstrom : What's our next move?
Pike Bishop : Well, I figure Agua Verde's the closest... three days maybe. Then get the news and drift back to the border. Maybe a payroll, maybe a bank.
Dutch Engstrom : Maybe that damn railroad.
Tector Gorch : That damn railroad you're talkin' about, sure as hell ain't a-gettin' no easier.
Sykes : And you boys ain't gettin' any younger either!
[laughs]
Pike Bishop : We've got to start thinking beyond our guns. Those days are closin' fast.
-
Pike Bishop : [talking about the railroad] There was a man named Harrigan. Used to have a way of doin' things. I made him change his ways. A hell of a lot of people, Dutch, just can't stand to be wrong.
Dutch Engstrom : Pride.
Pike Bishop : And they can't forget it... that pride... being wrong. Or learn by it
Dutch Engstrom : How 'bout us, Pike? You reckon we learned - bein' wrong, today?
Pike Bishop : I sure hope to God we did.
-
Dutch Engstrom : Pike; "I wouldn't have it any other way", *either*!
-
Lyle Gorch : All your fancy plannin' and talkin' damn near got us shot to pieces over a few lousy bags of washers. Well, this was goin' to be me and Tector's last job before we quit and headed south. We spent all our time and money a-gettin' ready for this!
Pike Bishop : You spent all your time and money runnin' whores in Hondo while I spent my stake settin' it up.
[throws down washer]
Pike Bishop : Hell, I should have been runnin' whores instead of stealin' Army horses.
Lyle Gorch : While you was doin' all that plannin', me and Tector was gettin' our bell rope pulled by two... two, mind you, Hondo whores!
[starts laughing]
Dutch Engstrom : [laughing] And Pike was dreamin' of washers... you were matching whores... in tandem!
Lyle Gorch : What's that?
Tector Gorch : That's one behind t'other.
Lyle Gorch : That's right! That's what we was doin'!
-
Dutch Engstrom : Give 'em hell Pike!
[Pike goes down]
-
Dutch Engstrom : [impressed] Well, I'd say those fellas know how to handle themselves!
Sykes : They been fightin' Apaches for a thousand years; That's a sure way to learn.
Pike Bishop : They ever get armed, with good leaders, this whole country'll go up in smoke!
Sykes : That it will son, that it will.
Lyle Gorch : They made damn fools out of us, Mr. Bishop! Gettin' so a feller can't sleep with both eyes closed for fear of gettin' his throat cut. Where in hell were you?
Tector Gorch : Now you listen to me, Lyle - You get up off your ass and help once in a while, I wouldn'a got caught near s'easy.
-
Pike Bishop : With the way the Generalissimo's cleaned out this part of the country, he ought to have a lot
[of silver]
Pike Bishop : to spare.
Dutch Engstrom : Eh, "Generalissimo", hell! He's just another bandit grabbin' all he can for himself.
Pike Bishop : [amused] Like some others I could mention?
[laughs]
Dutch Engstrom : [serious] Not so's you'd know it, Mr. Bishop. We ain't nothin' like him! We don't HANG nobody! I hope, someday, these people here kick him, and the rest of that scum like him, right into their graves.
Angel : We will. If it takes forever.

Lyle Gorch : [the Bunch is riding into Angel's village] Hey, Angel, why in the hell don't you tell your folks to feed them dogs?
Dutch Engstrom : Won't find very much around here. That damn Huerta scraped it clean.
Angel : I have invited you to my village, to my home. Any disrespect to my family or to my people, I will kill you.
Pike Bishop : Ashamed of having us meet your people?
Angel : Yes. They don't know about my life when I leave the village.
Lyle Gorch : You got a sister?
Angel : Yes.
Lyle Gorch : I'd be proud to make her acquaintance. - And that of your mama too!
Tector Gorch : That goes for your grandma too, Sonny.

Dutch Engstrom : [Dutch and Angel are delivering the last load of rifles to Mapache] In the ravine south of here, you'll find the rest of the rifles in the wagon. You can have the wagon, we'll take the horses.
Maj. Zamorra : How many cases of rifles did you take from the train?
Dutch Engstrom : Sixteen cases of rifles. We lost one on the trail
Gen. Mapache : [Chuckling and indicating Angel] He stole it. The mother of the girl he killed told me so.
Dutch Engstrom : [Angel tries to escape but is caught and brought back before Mapache] Well, I'm wasting time here, adios.
Gen. Mapache : Y Angel?
Dutch Engstrom : [Looking around at the Mexican soldiers] He's a thief; you take care of him.
Gen. Mapache : Bueno; adios gringo.
-
Dutch Engstrom : [dying words] No! Pike! Pike! Pike. Pike... Pike.
