• Joe Mondragon : You beat Luis Armijo by two votes.

  Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : That's because Domingo and Gusdorf were out of town.

  Joe Mondragon : So you would have won by four.

  Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : Hell, no, man - those guys vote six, seven times apiece.

• Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : Bruno, does the name Custer ring a bell?

• Kyril Montana : Who is El Brazo Onofre?

  Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : That's Onofre Martinez's arm. He lost it in an accident some time ago, and nobody ever found it. People around here think it leads a life if its own.

  Horsethief Shorty : Yeah - something turns up missing in Milagro, and people feel El Brazo stole it. Young girls returning home at night from their date without their underwear usually blame him.

• Emerson Capps : He's irrigating parcel 14-77, which is - right here. It's in the middle of what's going to be the 13th fairway. That's the only piece of property on the west side we don't own.

  Ladd Devine : Then why don't you go tell him to stop, Bernie?

  Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : Because he'll tell me to go sit on a chile and go right on irrigating.

• Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : So you're not gonna stop.

  Joe Mondragon : I'll stop when I think I'm doing the wrong thing.

• Kyril Montana : This posse couldn't find itself.

  Sheriff Bernabe Montoya : Unless it wanted to.
