Trust and Deception Among Allies
Eduardo:
Who do they think they're fooling? Shot up that way. Could be anybody!
Pepe:
He fooled them again.
Innocente:
Are you sure?
Eduardo:
I rode with him. I fought with him all these years. They think they can fool me? They can't kill him....
Pepe:
They'll never get him. Can you capture a river? Can you kill the wind?
Eduardo:
No! He's not a river and he's not the wind! He's a man—and still they can't kill him!
Lazaro:
Then where is he...?
Eduardo:
He's in the mountains. You couldn't find him now. But if we ever need him again—he'll be back.
Lazaro:
Yes... he's in the mountains....

The Nature of Change Through People
Josefa:
I don't speak for myself now, but if anything happens to you, what would become of the people? What would they have left?
Emiliano:
Themselves.
Josefa:
And all the fighting and the deaths... what has really changed?
Emiliano:
They have really changed. That's how things really change—slowly—through people. They don't really need me anymore.
Josefa:
They have to be led.
Emiliano:
Yes. But by each other. A strong man makes a weak people. Strong people don't need a strong man.

No. Shoot in front of him again.

Careful. Don't hit him.

When I want to hit him, I hit him. When I want to miss him, I miss him.

A man has been known to die of a close miss.

The Balance of Patience and Action

These matters take time. You must be patient.
