Quotes
-
Jerry G : I know this town. These are my people.
Horsethief Shorty : Jerry, your own people would like to see you strung up by your nuts. You're a forest service cop; I'm surprised that that fat little green truck of yours doesn't blow up every morning when you get in it and step on the gas.

Kyril Montana : Who is El Brazo Onofre?
Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : That's Onofre Martinez's arm. He lost it in an accident some time ago, and nobody ever found it. People around here think it leads a life if its own.
Horsethief Shorty : Yeah - something turns up missing in Milagro, and people feel El Brazo stole it. Young girls returning home at night from their date without their underwear usually blame him.
-
Horsethief Shorty : Be a shame for it to end like that; gettin' kinda interested in what happens next.
-
Jerry G : Nobody's gonna go off half-cocked just because Joe Mondragon gets arrested. I know this town. These are my people.
Horsethief Shorty : Jerry, your own people would like to see you strung up by your nuts.

Ladd Devine : That's pretty good thinkin' for an old mule.
Horsethief Shorty : Well, if you pay 'em, they ain't gonna slit your throat.

Horsethief Shorty : Son of a gun. Sure got some huevos on him.
Flossie Devine : Huevos?

Flossie Devine : Eggs?
Horsethief Shorty : You know, balls.
Flossie Devine : [laughs] Huevos. I like that. That's cute.
