Roy O'Bannon:
You people believe in Karma over there, right? Well, I've been thinking... there must be a reason why we keep running into each other. Now I've ridden with some terrible men, just people I couldn't trust, but when I look at you, there's something different about you. And I can see it, I can see it in your eyes. It's what the Indians call... chipichawa.
Chon Wang:
What's that?
Roy O'Bannon:
Chipichawa is nobility. And you have it, in spades. You got yourself a partner, and this has nothing to do with gold, okay?
Roy O'Bannon:
Shake on it.
Chon Wang:
Why are you spitting in your hand?
Roy O'Bannon:
Well, it's, uh, customary to seal the deal. Come on, let's go.

This is going to be a long journey.
