Guns of the Magnificent Seven Page #2

---

We'd better get outta here

before they wise up.

(Coley) Hold it, you two!

I'm overrulin' the judge.

There's somethin' real snaky goin' on.

I know you, Chris.

A lot of people know you.

Mostly sheriffs.

That's my horse.

I want him.

And I'm gonna have him.

I'll count to three.

They'll draw on two.

One...

...two...

Let's go.

That's my horse! Let's get after them!

Is that your horse?

Nope.

Coley's the thief. Stole my horse

in Dodge. Rigged faro game.

So you stole his, huh?

Yeah.

Well, that's only fair.

You didn't really have to

call me a poor slob, did you?

(Chris laughs)

Name's Keno.

I like that better than "poor slob".

I know you from someplace.

Fresno, Laramie, St Joe.

You ever been a lawman?

- I just got out.

- For what?

No questions.

No questions.

(horse approaches)

Hello, Chris.

It sure seems to be my day for strangers.

Oh, you were magnificent.

Both of you.

There you were,

standing on the scaffold...

...alone and friendless...

...and the crowd is yelling

"Kill him! Kill him!"

But you stand there, ready to die.

Proud and defiant and unafraid.

And suddenly there's a voice.

"No."

And Chris, Chris steps forward.

As cool as the other side of the pillow.

One man against a thousand.

Chris, I'm so glad I follow you.

My cousin said to me "Find a man.

He's called Chris, and he will help you."

- Who's your cousin?

- In Mexico everyone is a cousin.

And all the cousins are

in trouble now. Big trouble.

Angel Quintero has been captured.

He is our only leader.

With him we are something.

Without him we are nothing.

He's in prison. We need your help.

- Have you tried to get him out yourself?

- We have the will but not the way.

Diego, the prison comandante -

he's a crazy one, and our hands are tied.

Un gato con guante no caza raton.

That's:
A cat with... with

mittens doesn't catch the rat.

Will you help us?

I have money.

I have lots of money.

Here, it's all yours.

- $600.

- American?

It's American.

This prison, is it a big one?

It's the Cave of the Rats. It's like a fort.

I've heard of it.

I'd need help. More men.

We have the men. Quick with

the guns, but slow with the brains.

Six men.

Not enough to cause suspicion,

just enough to do the job.

Six men. $100 a man.

You like?

Yeah...

...I like.

- It's a deal.

- Thanks.

Oh, and Chris? Chris,

can I fight with you?

Oh, it's not for the money -

I could not take it - but it's for Quintero.

Not on the basis of what

you did against Keno.

Oh, but I'm young, I'm strong, I'm angry.

And I will learn.

Besides, my cousin says that seven

is a lucky number for you, no?

- What's your name?

- Maximiliano Bienvenido O'Leary.
