Confronting Prejudice and Power Dynamics

Nathaniel I can’t understand why you let Major Jackson get away. He’s on his way here now with all of his men; they’ll kill every one of us. No doubt of it.]

[[File:DjangoTitle.png|thumb|I got all the help I need.]

Django What are you afraid of, Nathaniel? After all, you’re paying him for his protection.

Nathaniel Hm. I pay him, says he won’t kill me and the girls like he does those poor Mexican fools; that he calls his inferiors.

Django Jackson has no right to consider anyone inferior.

Nathaniel Well, you better not try to tell him a thing like that! They’re fanatics, can’t you understand that? Have you seen those strange hoods they wear? It’s a religion with ‘em! They’re crazy!

Django That’s exactly the reason why I’ve got to do just what I’m doing.

Nathaniel I understand, but you can’t do it alone.

Django I got all the help I need.

Nathaniel Why did you let Major Jackson go? He'll come back with his forty jailbirds and kill us all. l know him all too well.

Django What are you afraid of, old man? You pay for his protection.

Nathaniel Hmph. I pay so I won't get killed like the ones he calls inferior because of their dark skin.

Django The sun… can also make your skin dark.

Nathaniel Yes, but Jackson and his men will never admit it. They have some kind of religion. Have you seen the red hoods? They're fanatics. They're crazy.

Django Sometimes, fanatics must be eliminated, for the good of everyone else.

Nathaniel l know, but you can't do it alone.

Django l'm not alone.

Betrayal and Consequences in Django's Narrative

Hugo Tried to get away, eh? You should have known better, amigo. You’re a spy for Major Jackson, aren’t you? You tell everything you see, and everything you hear… ah… that’s why you’ve got such big ears, I guess. Well, we know just what to do with ears such as yours… don’t we, muchachos?

The Illusion of Protection and Love

María It’s not for me to say. But for the first time, I felt like I was a real woman. Someone to protect, and… and to be loved, Django.

Django I’m glad I made you feel like a real woman – very glad. I mean that.

[closes the door; begins to disrobe María]

María I thank you because, even if only for a few moments, you’ve given me the feeling of having a man nearby, to protect me… to love me.

Django In that case, the illusion must be complete. Brief – but complete.

[closes the door; María breathes nervously as Django begins disrobing her]

Confrontation Among Klansmen and Django

Klansman #1 You can relax for a minute, till we build a fire under that cross, with you on top of it. Did you have fun… with the Mexicans?

Klansman #2 Burnin’s a lot better… than getting beaten to death!

Klansman #1 Are you here to bury the dead, huh? Then you’re in business, and here’s your first customers.

Django Whatever I’m doing here is none of your business.

Klansman #1 Careful, mister. From the way you talk, I get the idea you wanna be helped into that box you’re lugging around!

Django Could be.

Klansman #1 You’re a Yankee, ain’t ya?

Django I fought for the North.

Klansman #1 We don’t take much to folks who fought for the North – get the idea?

Django Yeah, I get the idea. Yeah.

Klansman #2 What the hell are we worrying about him for? Let’s finish the girl off!

Django A woman shouldn’t be treated in that way.

Klansman #1 What’s that you said?

Django It’s not important. And if I bothered you, will you accept my apology? My name is Django. No one will hurt you anymore, as long as you’re with me. You can’t go far alone. That bridge isn’t exactly where I’m headed for, now. I got some business in town – a personal matter. Tell me your name.

[shoots the Klansmen, and approaches María; María attempts to cross the wooden bridge in front of them]

María María.

Django Let’s go, María.

[shoots a Klansman, who falls into the quicksand below]

Blame and Accusation in the Saloon

Jonathan Why, it’s because o’ her! I tell yer, she’s the one who brought this on us! She’s the incarnation o’ sin an’ evil!

[pointing accusingly at María]

Saloon Girl #2 He’s absolutely right. It’s your fault if we have to get out of here. The men won’t come to town anymore, and we’ll starve!

Saloon Girl #1 Oh, you shut up! Why are you trying to blame everything that’s happened to poor María?

Jonathan She’s right to blame her; she’s the cause of all of it, d’ya hear? She’s evil, and brings sin and trouble wherever she goes!

Saloon Girl #1 And you’re a fine one to talk! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, dressed like that and going around with a Bible in your hands!

Saloon Girl #3 Well, listen to her, willya? Who do you think you are?!

Jonathan Why the devil are you two women fighting?! It’s her that brought disaster!

Bravery and Fear in Unlikely Situations

Saloon Girl #1 You know, you sure are a brave man to tote that girl around. Or maybe you’re not afraid of the Mexicans, or of Jackson?

Django I’m not afraid of anyone.

Saloon Girl #1 Oh, aren’t you? You got guts, honey! Ah, my, ah… my girlfriends are afraid of what’s in that box. But it doesn’t really frighten me. After all, a coffin’s a coffin. Is there someone inside?

Django Yeah, and his name is Django.

Django

Courage, War, and Changing Allegiances

Jackson Say, you must be a pretty courageous fella to talk that way to Ringo. Courageous… or just plain crazy. Like that damn Yankee, who killed five of my men up near the river.

Django Must’ve been… a pretty good shot. To kill five of your men. Being outnumbered like that, I mean.

Jackson Now, that man had a woman with him also; white trash. Sold herself to the Mexicans. She’s a traitor… to our cause, sir.

Django The war… is over. And these things don’t much matter anymore, do they?

Jackson I got my own private war goin’ on. I reckon maybe that’s a war you haven’t heard about. You sure are smart, hombre – carrying around your burial suit. I like that; be handy. We can put you in it, instead of leaving your body to poison the vultures, like we do with the rest of your kind!

Django Are you carrying out a war… against the poor vultures too, Major? Why don’t you leave them out of it?

Jackson Well, men, did you hear what our friend said? What do you say we prepare him for his burial?

Django Well, Major… I got just one bullet. But that would be taking advantage… and it wouldn’t be right. How many men have you got left? You tongue-tied, or don’t wanna tell me?

Jackson Forty-eight.

Django Okay. For your own protection, I wanna see all of them here next time. Then you’ll have the advantage. Go on and round ‘em up. I’ll be waiting.

Jackson I’ll round ‘em up. Rest assured.

[leaves the saloon]

Django You can clear up the mess, now. But don’t touch my coffin.

Destiny and Decisions in Unfortunate Circumstances

Hugo Well, amigo, our paths cross again! Where is the gold?

Django It fell into the quicksand… the horse stumbled and the coffin slipped. I guess it’s destiny, General.

Hugo And so, my gold’s in the quicksand, amigo… that won’t change things. We’re going back to Mexico anyhow, aren’t we? That’s what I decided, and we’ll do it.

[chuckles]

Django Yeah.

Hugo Now we’re even, Django. You save my life… so I’ll save yours. We don’t kill a thief, even if he betrays a friend. We have ways of teaching them a lesson… right, Miguel?

Miguel ¡Sí, señor! That’s for not sticking with us! And this – for stealing the gold! You traitor! You pig! Those hands won’t be good for stealing any more gold when I get through with you! Go on, men!

[smacks Django with his rifle butt; begins crushing his hands with the rifle butt; eventually stops crushing Django’s hands; Hugo’s men ride their horses over Django’s hands]

Hugo Your plan was great, but you weren’t quick or clever enough to outsmart us. Pity, isn’t it? I hope your friend, the Major… doesn’t happen to pass by here. It would be so embarrassing for you. Do you want me to… say "Hello" to him for you? Hah! Muchachos, vamos! To Mexico!

[chuckles; chuckles]

Miguel Adiós, gringo! Take good care of your hands!

[laughs and rides off]

A Defiant Moment Before Death

Jackson Django, I think you should make a last request! I'll be glad to oblige you any way I can. Start praying if you like, I don't mind. It's a smart thing to do when you know that death is coming for you. How come you haven't you got your burial suit with you? We'll have to leave you to the vultures! So now, begin your prayer... I can't hear ya! Okay... now! ]

[confronting Django in a cemetery; shoots the top of Mercedes Zaro's cross; reloads and shoots; reloads and shoots twice; [File:Django scena finale.png|thumb|If I don't succeed, at least I will have tried... to redeem my life.]

Django Can you hear THIS?

Jackson You thought you had won, didn't you, Django? Yet here I am, still fighting my war... a war which will never end. You're praying, I see. Of course, we pray when we're close to death. But you can't make the sign of the cross with those hands. I'll help you do it! ln the name of the Father... the Son... and the Holy... Ghost!

[confronting Django in a cemetery; shoots the top of Mercedes Zaro's cross; reloads and shoots; reloads and shoots; reloads and shoots]

Django Amen!

[Literal translation: And it shall be done!]

Django

A Dangerous Choice for Love and Survival

María Django, you have to leave now! You’ll come back for me. I don’t want you to get killed now just because of me.

Django I still got one thing to do. I gotta kill Jackson. Until he’s dead, there isn’t gonna be peace for any of us, ever. There just isn’t any other way. Jackson has got to die… and I’m the one who has to kill him, María. Then we can start a new life together. You see what I mean, María? You understand me? If I don’t kill him, we’ll never be out of danger. You see… it’s his life or ours.

María Django, your hands are broken!

Django It won’t stop me from killing him. Nathaniel, hide María, and tell Jackson that I’ll be waiting at the cemetery. Understand? Just the two of us now. I’ll be waiting.

María Django, go! Save yourself. Get away, before it's too late. Don't worry about me.

Django There's one thing l have left to do. l have to kill Jackson. It's the only way for this town to start living again, and for me, as well. You can't run away forever. There comes a time when you must stop and fight to the end. I realized it when I was holding your hand so tightly… while the coffin was sinking into the quicksand. If I don't succeed, at least I will have tried... to redeem my life.

María Django, your... your hands!

Django My hands will serve me yet. Nathaniel, hide María, and tell Jackson that I'll wait for him by the crosses of Tombstone… because his time has come.

Reflection on Loss and Life Choices

Nathaniel I sure never thought I’d end up gravediggin’ and not getting paid for it, either! Ah, well anyhow, it’s better to be above ground doing that, than to be below doing nothing. Is it someone you knew?

[burying the bodies of the Klansmen killed by Django; notices Django looking at a grave bearing the name "Mercedes Zaro"]

Django Someone who was part of my life. I guess the only part that really counted.

Nathaniel And she was killed… by Major Jackson?

Django Yeah, by Jackson.

Nathaniel Wha… why weren’t you able to do something about it?

Django I was away. Too far away, Nathaniel.

The Enigmatic Man of the Borderlands

Taglines A century ago on the low hills along the border between the southern states and turbulent Mexico, a mystery man appeared... a man with a sad, impenetrable face. Who was that man? What was his secret?

Ghost Town Conversations

Nathaniel If you're a coffin-maker… sure did pick a good town to settle, sure did.

Django Haven't had many clients so far.

Nathaniel Well, don't worry - you will. What, with Hugo's Mexican renegades and the rebels under Major Jackson… fightin their own private war, why, this whole town's been ruined. It's a dead city. Regular ghost town.

Django So your girls are pleasuring phantoms?

Nathaniel Well, I wouldn't say that. Sometimes, there's Hugo's Mexicans, and sometimes there's… Major Jackson's men. You know how it is - we try to please em both if we can.

Django How do you do that?

Nathaniel Well, there's an agreement of sorts. Round here's no trouble. But for the privilege of staying alive, we sure pay dearly. You're a stranger around here, ain't ya? So… so you don't know Major Jackson, do ya? I… I said you don't know Major Jackson, do ya?

[Django doesn't answer]

Django Who I know or who I don't is no concern of yours. Get it?

Django

Crossing Bridges and Letting Go of the Past

Django This time, I’ve gotta cross that bridge. I’ve waited long enough… long enough so I could finally bury Django in that box. With that gold, I can forget I was Django.

María Leave all that gold here, Django; it’ll bring heartache. What really matters is if we could have a new life… and you’ll forget what happened here. I love you, Django.

Django Listen, María: love is something I can never feel again. The girl I once loved was killed, and I can never forget that. If I take you with me, then… you’ll probably get killed, too. And, I… wouldn’t want that to happen.

Django It's finally time for me to cross that bridge. I've waited a lifetime… a lifetime to bury Django in this coffin. The gold will help me make him disappear forever.

María Forget the gold, Django! What does it matter to you? We can start a new life together. I'll help you forget. I love you, Django.

Django I left love behind many years ago. It's buried under a cross in the Tombstone cemetery. If I brought you with me, you might come to the same end. And maybe… you wouldn't be able to make me forget.
