Maria Teresa Alvarado : Anything wrong?
Col. Luis Montoya : No doubt you have heard about our latest bandit attack.
Maria Teresa Alvarado : Ah, yes, how terrible. Luckily the young man was saved by the Queen of Swords.
Col. Luis Montoya : It seems evident to me that the Queen in now in league with The Serpent.
Maria Teresa Alvarado : I don't understand.
Col. Luis Montoya : This rescue - just a weak attempt to impress the gullible.
Maria Teresa Alvarado : Oh, I see. My, my. The Queen sure is the clever one, isn't she?
Col. Luis Montoya : Not quite so clever as she thinks. But do not fear, Maria Theresa, soon the Queen and the Serpent will be dead and then this little pueblo of ours will once again be a paradise.
Maria Teresa Alvarado : But remember, Colonel, even the Garden of Eden had its serpent. Apple?

[Colonel Mendoza has declared martial law and ordered all able-bodied men to arm themselves to search for the Serpent's outlaws]

Col. Luis Montoya : Inflicted, no doubt, by too many encounters with cream buns.

Don Santos : This is impossible!
Col. Luis Montoya : Not at all, Don Santos. This is my daily work. It's what you pay me to do. As you can see, it's quite simple. Just ride up and find bandits - it's easy.
Don Santos : We must rest, Montoya. We're exhausted.
Col. Luis Montoya : Unfortunately, I've found that the wicked never rest.

Col. Luis Montoya : You must forgive me; I was expecting a very different guest.
The Queen of Swords : I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Col. Luis Montoya : I'm not disappointed. I have caught two birds in one canyon - The Serpent below and The Queen of Swords above. And you, Doctor... scrambling about canyons so far from home?
Dr. Robert Helm : I was abducted by The Serpent.
Col. Luis Montoya : What a glamorous life you lead, Doctor - abducted by bandits, rescued by masked ladies. Whatever's next - bands of angels descending upon us from the heavens above?

Dr. Robert Helm : This lady is leaving us, Colonel. If your soldiers fire on her, I will kill you.
Col. Luis Montoya : If I fall, shoot the doctor.
The Queen of Swords : Don't do this.
Dr. Robert Helm : It's already done.
Col. Luis Montoya : Altruism on one hand; self-sacrifice on the other. My, it's almost romantic.

Col. Luis Montoya : I will hang The Serpent's body in the village square. Let the people see how Montoya deals with murderers and thieves.
Dr. Robert Helm : I always knew you were a hero of the people.
