Quotes
-
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.
-
Peso : There are two things I hate. One is a careless man; the other is a careful woman.
-
Peso : What's-a matter? You sick?
Nancy Dekker : No, jealous. How do you fight a woman like that?
Peso : The same as you would fight any other fight. Pick your position, keep the wind at your back and shoot to kill.
-
Peso : Remember, Juanito. Small heads, big bellies. Always aim for the big things in life and you'll grow up to be a great man just like Peso.
-
Peso : The sheriffs in New Mexico they have small heads, but they have big bellies.
-
Peso : Pardon me, Señora, are you sure we have never met before?
Fanny Webson : No, as I said before at dinner, it's quite unlikely. Though, it's a thrilling thought.
Peso : I always remember what is worth remembering.
-
Cyril R. Snowden : You know the Apaches?
Peso : Sure, I do. Not long ago they threw a little powwow in my honor. Fire water, courtesy of Peso.
Cyril R. Snowden : But this isn't legal, is it?
Peso : Oh, no, that's a federal offense - for the white man. But that night, I was pure Apache! Ahhhhh-Ichi-wa-wa!
Fanny Webson : How exciting!
-
Peso : You would like to be a bandito? Well, that's natural considering who your father was. But, it's not all riding and playing the guitar, you know.
Luis : I wouldn't be afraid.
Peso : It's not easy, boy. It takes a long time learning. And, believe me, it's just as hard to make a crooked dollar, as it is to make a straight one. Of course, you are your own boss.
-
Fanny Webson : Hey, hey, I've got a bottle of eight year old stashed away, get that cup over there and we'll drink a toast to those good old days.
Peso : It's been a long time, Fanny. A long time.
Fanny Webson : To Peso, the gayest, the most gallant, the most man man in this whole cockeyed world.
Peso : To Fanny, the loveliest, the most beautiful protector of the homeless, professional in the north of Rio Grande.
-
Peso : Say, how did you come to ever leave that Faro table in Las Cruces?
Fanny Webson : I was gettin' a little too close for comfort. That law can have a hot breath, you know.
Peso : Ah, you speak the truth woman. That's why I work in the territory. There are no laws here. No laws for me to break. You know, I really hate to ever break the law.
-
Fanny Webson : I'm going where there's some really high-line action.
Peso : Yeah? Where's that?
Fanny Webson : San Francisco.
-
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.
-
Fanny Webson : Remember, you're the greatest, the bravest, the best man man in this whole cockeyed world!
Peso : Ah, Fanny. You sure know how to comfort a man, don't you.
Fanny Webson : That's something a woman never forgets.
Peso : Ah, scratch my neck, Fanny.
Fanny Webson : Yes.
-
Peso : All right, it's your hand. You play it anyway you like.
Pike Curtis : Get them clothes off.
Peso : Huh? Oh, no, Pike. I lose my dignity.
Pike Curtis : You heard me. Start peelin'.
Peso : Ah, I don't mind showing my muscles, but, what is all this getting us?
-
Peso : There are two things I hate - one is a careless man, the other is a careful woman.
