Quotes 

• Tom Herrera : I'm sorry about your father.

  Nancy Dekker : He died the way he was born...the way he lived.

  Tom Herrera : No tears?

  Nancy Dekker : Later.

  Tom Herrera : He taught you well, Nancy.

  Nancy Dekker : He taught me without teaching. That's the best way.

• Peso : Do you like me?

  Tom Herrera : You're a hero to every kid in the territory. But I never saw much sense in putting a thief on a pedestal.

  Peso : I had always hoped that you would follow in my footsteps. But, no. You had to take after your mother. Law and order. Ichi-wa-wa, how that woman made my head ache. She was the talkiest wife I ever had.

• Tom Herrera : All right, Peso, you can stay.

  Peso : Thanks, Tom.

  Tom Herrera : But I'll take your guns.

  Peso : Oh, there's no reason for that, boy. My guns? Why I'd be chilly without 'em. I might even catch cold.

• Fanny Webson : We've got our plans all set. So if you ever get to San Francisco, Tom, look us up.

  Tom Herrera : I might.

  Fanny Webson : We'll have at least a dozen different ways for a man to lose his money - and enjoy the fact that he lost it.

• Tom Herrera : Look, Lorraine, let your hair down, show me what you're like. Be honest!

  Lorraine Sayburn : Be honest, he says, just like that.

  Lorraine Sayburn : I live by lying, not by telling the truth. But, I'll try.

• Tom Herrera : Where's Peso?

  Juke : He said he was goin' in to see if there was any of Madre's coffee left. That a man must have an iron constitution.

• Cyril R. Snowden : Herrera, what's going on here?

  Tom Herrera : Add it up for yourself, Mr. Snowdon, I got a storeroom full of gold in there and a desert full of Apaches out there.

• Tom Herrera : Being afraid becomes you.

  Nancy Dekker : You mean because it's womanly to be afraid?

  Tom Herrera : Maybe.

  Nancy Dekker : I didn't think I had to be all woman and filly with you! I thought you were one man with more sense .

  Tom Herrera : Well, take it easy. I didn't mean to get you mad.

  Nancy Dekker : Well, you have! I'm mad! I'm mad, all right.

  Tom Herrera : Well, being mad becomes you too. Now.

  Nancy Dekker : Besides, I've got my orders. Pick your position, keep the wind at your back, and shoot to kill.

  [moves in for a long kiss] 

  Nancy Dekker : Well, does she kiss any better.

  Tom Herrera : I can't make up my mind.

  Nancy Dekker : Well, let me help you decide.

  [long kiss]

  Pike Curtis : You never see Apaches in the night.

• Peso : It looks like you're having my old problem.

  Tom Herrera : What do you mean?

  Peso : Two Señoritas fighting over you.

  Tom Herrera : Which one would you pick?

  Peso : You know me, Tommy. I always have the strength of character to pick 'em both.

• Tom Herrera : Peso wants a minute. He'll have a minute.

• Tom Herrera : Seeing you're so useful, how about gettin' me a cup of coffee.

  Nancy Dekker : What's in it for me?
