Sam Chisolm

[edit]
  • Pray with me, then. Let's pray. Pray for my mother, who your men raped. Pray for my sisters, who your men murdered. [undoes his collar to reveal a scar on his throat] Did you pray when they strung me up?

Josh Faraday

  • [referring to Jack Horne] I believe that bear was wearing people clothes.
  • I always been lucky on one-eyed jacks.

Goodnight Robicheaux

  • They got the devil's breath! They got a goddamn Gatling gun!

Jack Horne

[edit]
  • To be in the service of others, with men I respect, like you all, I shouldn't have to ask for more than that.

Emma Cullen

[edit]
  • Sir... I have a proposition. We're decent people being driven from our homes. Slaughtered in cold blood.
  • [narrating] Whatever they were in life, here, at the end, each man stood with courage and honor. They fought for the ones who couldn't fight for themselves, and they died for them, too. All to win something that didn't belong to them. It was - magnificent.

Vasquez

[edit]
  • [referring to the corpse in his hide-out] He doesn't snore much.
  • Well, the lady just did some poking and sticking for you. Maybe you should consider returning the favor, you know?

Dialogue

[edit]
Emma Cullen: He made them murder my husband, he will take everything we have.
Sam Chisolm: So you seek revenge?
Emma Cullen: I seek righteousness, as should we all. But I'll take revenge.
Josh Faraday: Our paths cross again. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Sam Chisolm: Took a job. Looking for some men to join me.
Josh Faraday: Is there money in it?
[Emma tosses him a jingling bag]
Josh Faraday: And who's she?
Sam Chisolm: "Joan of Arc."
Emma Cullen: My name's Emma Cullen. And this is my associate, Teddy Q.
Josh Faraday: Well, I do have an affinity for shiny things. [tosses the bag back to her] Is it difficult?
Sam Chisolm: Impossible.
Preacher: The spirit is willing, but we are not killers.
Sam Chisolm: No one is, until they're looking down the barrel of a gun.
Drunk: I ain't paying for no damn cheat.
Friend: Don't mind him, Mr. Robicheaux. He's drunk. He don't mean anything by it.
Drunk: Goodnight Robicheaux? Sir, if I'd known that was your man, I never would have spoken so disrespectfully.
Goodnight Robicheaux: That's alright, son. You can just pay me double.
Goodnight Robicheaux: Why do you waste your time on a piece of rebel trash like me?
Sam Chisolm: What we lost in the fire, we will find in the ashes.
Josh Faraday: I ever tell you about a man I knew, fell off the roof of a five story building? Every floor he passed on the way down, they heard him yell, 'So far, so good!' He's dead now. [pause] Hey, Sam, have I made good on my horse yet?
Sam Chisolm: So far, so good.
Josh Faraday: [townsfolk all staring as they eat their dinner] Like being in one of them damn zoos.
Goodnight Robicheaux: Fame is a sarcophagus.
Josh Faraday: You read those in a book, or you just make 'em up as you go?
Goodnight Robicheaux: I'll try to use one-syllable words from now on.
Josh Faraday: What... what's a syllable?
[Robicheaux laughs]
Sam Chisolm: How are you doing?
Josh Faraday: So far, so good. I might need a new vest.
Sam Chisolm: Hey. Know what? We're even. For the horse, you don't owe me anything.
Josh Faraday: Well, you owe me.
Sam Chisolm: What's that?
Josh Faraday: Cover.
Goodnight Robicheaux: What a merry band, we are. Me a Grey, Chisolm a Blue, Billy a mysterious man of the Orient, a drunk Irishman, a Texican, a female and her gentlemen caller. This is not going to end well.
Vasquez: I'm Mexican, cabrón. No such thing as a "Texican."
Goodnight Robicheaux: Try telling that to my granddaddy. He died at the Alamo. New Orleans Greys, long barracks, bayonets. Blood, teeth. Mauled by a horde of teeming brown devils.
Vasquez: My grandfather was one of those devils, you know. Toluca Battalion. Hey, maybe my grandfather killed your grandfather, huh?
Goodnight Robicheaux: [pinned down by enemy fire] This reminds me of what my daddy always used to say.
Billy Rocks: What's that, Goody?
Goodnight Robicheaux: [pause] Well, you know, my daddy said a lot of things. [both laugh]

About

[edit]
  • When I first said yes, it was on my mind. Absolutely. But once you go in, you just go in. You just say, "OK, I'm going do it and make my version of it." My big lesson so far is that when you do that you have to respect the film's DNA and you have to respect certain elements of the film because when you respect that you're respecting the people that love the film. Sometimes when people see movies they take whatever is going on in their life into the movie theater. And if the movie affects them a certain way, if you don't give them at least that feeling again or that idea again — even if it's done in a different package — then it's difficult to satisfy them. On Magnificent Seven, I kept reminding myself of when I was a 12‑year‑old boy, when I was a kid watching it with my grandmother, what was the feeling I had? How much fun was it? How cool were they? For me, I always had my grandmother in my mind when making a film. Would she enjoy this film?.
