Old Man : You worry about yourself. Are you ready for him?
[refers to Calvera]
Old Man : What if he comes now, huh?
Vin : Reminds me of that fellow back home that fell off a ten story building.
Chris : What about him?
Vin : Well, as he was falling people on each floor kept hearing him say, "So far, so good." Tch... So far, so good!
-
Vin : Rojas is makin' room for you in his home.
Old Man : Rojas? His conversation would bore me to death!
Vin : Yeah, well, maybe somebody else, huh?
Old Man : Hey are all farmers. Farmers talk of nothing but fertiliser and women. I've never shared their enthusiasm for fertiliser. As for women, I became indifferent when I was 83. I am staying here.

[as Chris, Vin and Chico are about to leave the village]
Old Man : You could a-stay, you know. They wouldn't be sorry to have you a-stay.
Vin : They won't be sorry to see us go, either.
Old Man : Yes. The fighting is over. Your work is done. For them, each season has its tasks. If there were a season for gratitude, they'd show it more.
Vin : We didn't get any more than we expected, old man.
Old Man : Only the farmers have won. They remain forever. They are like the land itself. You helped rid them of Calvera, the way a strong wind helps rid them of locusts. You're like the wind - blowing over the land and... passing on. Vaya con dios.
Chris : Adios.
