Chico:
And who made us the way we are? Men with guns! Men like Calvera... and you... and now me.

But who made us the way we are, huh? Men with guns. Men like Calvera, and men like you... and now me.

Chico:
They're afraid. She's afraid of me, you, him. All of us. Farmers! Their families told them we would rape them.
Chris: Well we might. But in my opinion you might have given us the benefit of the doubt. But just as you please...

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.

[as Chris, Vin and Chico are about to leave the village]
Old Man: You could a-stay, you know. They wouldn't be sorry to have you a-stay. Vin: They won't be sorry to see us go, either. Old Man: Yes. The fighting is over. Your work is done. For them, each season has its tasks. If there were a season for gratitude, they'd show it more. Vin: We didn't get any more than we expected, old man. Old Man: Only the farmers have won. They remain forever. They are like the land itself. You helped rid them of Calvera, the way a strong wind helps rid them of locusts. You're like the wind - blowing over the land and... passing on. Vaya con dios. Chris: Adios.

[as the seven are about to leave the village]
Calvera: You'll do much better on the other side of the border. There you can steal cattle, hold up trains... all you have to face is sheriff, marshall. Once I rob a bank in Texas; your government get after me with a whole army... whole army! One little bank. Is clear the meaning: in Texas, only Texans can rob banks. Ha ha. [they look at him in silence] Calvera: Adios!

[as they ride to the village, Chico is following them]
Vin: Riding out there in all that dust and heat... what a chucklehead. Chris: Yep. Not smart like us. Vin: Yep.

Chico: Ah, that was the greatest shot I've ever seen. Britt: The worst! I was aiming at the horse.

[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 Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. I asked him that same question, "Why?" Calvera: And? Vin: He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time."
