Reflections on Change and Loss
Old Prophet I don't know him, I don't know him, I don't know him!
Manco Come on now, you know everybody.
Old Prophet Don't know anybody anymore! I'm dead! Understand? Well, there was a time when I knew everybody. That was a long time ago, when all this was prairie. But lately everybody's in a hurry, with your damned good-for-nothing trains! Two two two three! Disgusting! One day someone from the railroad comes here to see me and he says, Prophet, the railway's gonna go right past your house. Ah, is that so? I said. Mm-hm, yup that's right he says, All those trains gonna go right past here, and the best thing for you, Prophet, is to sell your land to the company or else we'll buy Baker's. He lives next to your place, and I'll put the tracks there, and that'll make you go crazy. What do you say, will you sell out to our company, Prophet? "Oh, is that so? says I. He was very anxious for me to sell out. You know what I told him about the railroad? You know what I told him he could do with his railroad? You know what my decision about selling was?
[Lifts his head from under the covers; Mocks a train's wheels moving; Spits; Grins and chuckles; laughs crazily as a train shoots by]
Manco Well, you said no.
Old Prophet You're right about that! No to him and his damn trains! I wouldn't, no!
Manco Look, listen to me, you old man! You're supposed to be a prophet, and I didn't come here to listen to you rattle on about trains! I want to find out about this man, it's obvious you don't know anything.
Old Prophet No need to be insulting! If that's all you came here to do, you can clear out of my house fast, before I lose my temper, understand?
[Angry]
Old Prophet Hey! Where you going, hm?
Manco I guess I better leave before you go and lose your temper!
[Turns around and smirks]

Strangers Unwelcome in a Hostile Environment

Choosing the Right Hotel for Comfort
Manco Why this hotel and not some other?

Manco Married?
Fernando Yes, but she doesn't care!
Reasoning and Strategy in Uncertain Situations
Manco You mind telling me how you got here?

Col. Mortimer No. The question isn't indiscreet. But the answer could be.

Col. Mortimer Maybe next time.

Joining the Enemy's Ranks
Col. Mortimer One from the outside one from the inside. There's no other way. One of us will have to join Indio's gang.
Manco Why did you look at me when you said one of us?
Col. Mortimer Because they don't know you. Wild sees me and the sun will catch on fire.
Manco Tell me Colonel. How do you propose that I join up with Indio? Maybe bring him a bunch of roses.
