Quotes9

  • Old Man: You worry about yourself. Are you ready for him?
  • [refers to Calvera]
  • Old Man: What if he comes now, huh?
  • Vin: Reminds me of that fellow back home that fell off a ten story building.
  • Chris: What about him?
  • Vin: Well, as he was falling people on each floor kept hearing him say, "So far, so good." Tch... So far, so good!
  • Hilario: Even if we had the guns, we know how to plant and grow, we don't know how to kill.
  • Old Man: Then learn, or die!
  • [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.
  • Vin: Rojas is makin' room for you in his home.
  • Old Man: Rojas? His conversation would bore me to death!
  • Vin: Yeah, well, maybe somebody else, huh?
  • Old Man: Hey are all farmers. Farmers talk of nothing but fertiliser and women. I've never shared their enthusiasm for fertiliser. As for women, I became indifferent when I was 83. I am staying here.
  • Vin: What're you gonna do when Calvera comes?
  • Old Man: At my age, a little excitement is welcome. Don't worry. Why would he kill me? Bullets cost money.
  • Old Man: They are all farmers. Farmers talk of nothing but fertilizer and women. I've never shared their enthusiasm for fertilizer. As for women, I became indifferent when I was eighty-three.
  • Old Man: Come in. You must be thirsty... You must excuse them.
  • [Mentioning the hiding farmers in the town]
  • Old Man: They are farmers here. They are afraid of everyone and everything. They are afraid of rain and no rain. The summer may be too hot, the winter too cold.
  • Old Man: Fight. You must fight. Fight!
  • Old Man: Go to the border. Guns are plentiful there.
