Rodolfo Fierro : Pancho. Don't argue with him. Shoot him, and let's go.
Pancho Villa : No. No, we don't do that any more.

[Villa has ordered Fierro to ride in the airplane to prevent Lee from flying away]
Rodolfo Fierro : No.
Pancho Villa : What do you mean, "No"?
Rodolfo Fierro : I mean "No".
Pancho Villa : Why not?
Rodolfo Fierro : Because! Because... Because I don't think he is a good pilot!
Pancho Villa : Hmmm... You are probably right. But it doesn't matter. If he is no good, you shoot him and fly it yourself.
Rodolfo Fierro : Me?
Pancho Villa : Of course! Any child could fly one of these things.
Rodolfo Fierro : You could fly it?
Pancho Villa : Of course.
Rodolfo Fierro : Fly it.

Pancho Villa : Everyone is not like you.
President Francisco Madero : My friend, it's very much better that I die a fool trusting too much, than live a tyrant trusting no one at all.

Pancho Villa : [Lee is preparing to take off] Wait. Fiero is going with you.
Lee Arnold : What? Now wait a minute, Chief. Not with... Chief, it's tough enough up there as it is.
Pancho Villa : No, if you go up there alone, you could fly away. If you try that with Fiero... Fiero will shoot you.
Lee Arnold : Oh? And without a pilot, what's Fiero gonna do?
Pancho Villa : Fiero will shoot you.
Lee Arnold : [thinks, and then grimaces]

Lee Arnold : I'll fly for you, but I want something.
Pancho Villa : What?
Lee Arnold : [motions to Fierro] I want to blow his brains out.
Pancho Villa : I don't think he'll let you do that.
Lee Arnold : Well, then let these men go.
Pancho Villa : All right. How many?
Lee Arnold : How man... all of them! Their officers are dead; they can't hurt you; they don't want to fight any more.
Pancho Villa : No. Just one.
Lee Arnold : One?
Pancho Villa : One. Pick him! Go on, gringo. It's your chance to save one life. Go ahead.
Lee Arnold : [to Fierro] You pick him.
Rodolfo Fierro : [to guards] Let one go!
[they watch as one Colorado vaults the wall]

Lee Arnold : Well, what about me, chief? What about me? I'm one of your men too, right? Something happens to you, they may as well shoot me. I'm deprived of twenty years of my liberty. I've got nothing. I've got no plane, no money... I wind up with nothing.
Pancho Villa : Gringo, you never did have anything. You have lived just for yourself. Not for a cause, not even for a woman.
