- [Dave enters a Mexican village where the residents have vanished, leaving food on their plates]
- Dave Blassingame: If this town's a ghost, the body's still warm.
- Dave Blassingame: Now this town was empty twenty minutes ago. Why?
- Carlotta: Empty? I have been here waiting for you.
- Dave Blassingame: How long you been here?
- Carlotta: All my life. You know, senor, the Jornada del Muerto - the desert - it has a way of making a man see things that are not there.
- Dave Blassingame: Well, I never heard it could make a man not see things that are there.
- Carlotta: Senor, you came from the south... you must have seen our men!
- Dave Blassingame: Well, no, I just seen... I just seen the vultures.
- [Dave pursues the wounded Serafin]
- Dave Blassingame: Careful!
- Carlotta: No! He's ours!
- Serafin: This... all internal politics, my friend. You understand? At heart, I'm basically anti-political... it's not my nature. Comprende? I-I-It destroys my heart to see such bloodshed. I surrender for the good of all Mexico! These women do not understand politics. You understand, eh? I go with you, amigo? Yes, we make a nice ride... maybe drink a little tequila? Then you turn me over to the Federales. You won't leave me to these women! I go with you! With you, yes? I insist! Please? No. Nooo!

- Dave Blassingame: What are you going to do?
- Carlotta: The village is our home, senor. We will wait here.
- Dave Blassingame: Alone?
- Carlotta: For a while. But someday a man will come, lonely and tired... and he will stay. A man who can work. And after him, another. We will wait for our one man. They will come back.
- Dave Blassingame: Yeah, I guess they will. Adios.
- Carlotta: Adios.

- Dave Blassingame: Habla Englisa?
- [the gunslinger nods]
- Dave Blassingame: Sure you do, you miserable hind end of a coyote. Just tryin' to be agreeable. Now look here what I got for you
- [Dave unsheathes his rifle]
- Dave Blassingame: See? Ain't it purdy? How'd you like to have that, you bushwhackin' hamstringer?
