The Magnificent Seven Page #2

I need six men up here.

Yahoo!

Boys, the drinks are on me!

Hey! Hey!

I'd like to buy you a drink.

And your friend, too.

Thanks.

Where are you from?

Oh, yeah. Where are you goin'?

Thanks for the free show.

You're more than welcome.

Boy, that was really something. I won't

forget that if I live to be a hundred.

Henry, the stage is leavin'!

All right, all right!

Wait till Flora hears about this. Y'know,

she won't believe one word of it.

Henry! The stage! Come on!

You keep this.

Where are you headed?

I'm drifting south,

more or less.

You?

Just driftin'.

Any action here?

Yeah. Grocery clerk and bouncer

in one of those bars across the

street, if that's your taste.

Yeah.

Well... see ya.

Say... what's your name?

Make it Vin.

What's yours?

Chris.

Yes?

We think you are

a man we can trust.

Thank you very much.

We wish you to help us.

There's this man, Calvera.

A thief. A murderer.

He and his men, they steal our food,

and then they leave us to starve.

Not only that, but our women...

Wait, wait. Just a minute.

If you need protection,

go to the rurales.

We did. Twice.

But they can't station men in a small

village for... who knows how long?

So they left.

And when they left, he came again...

Calvera...and every year since.

He will do so

until he is stopped.

Sit down.

We need help.

We must buy guns.

We know nothing about them.

Will you buy guns for us?

Guns are very expensive

and hard to get.

Why don't you hire men?

Men?

Gunmen. Nowadays men

are cheaper than guns.

Will you go?

It will be a blessing

if you help us.

Sorry, I'm not in

the blessing business.

No, no. We offer

more than that.

We could feed you every day.

And we have this.

What's that?

We can sell this for gold.

Everything we own.

Everything of value

in the village.

I've been offered a lot for my

work, but never everything.

Will it be enough?

You see, if we could drive

the bandits away...

life could be very

good in our village.

But as it is, we ourselves could

stand it a little longer...

but the children, they cry

because they're hungry.

Do you understand what it means

when you start something like this?

We will fight, too.

Every one of us.

When Calvera comes, the church

bell will ring the alarm.

We'll fight with guns,

if we have them.

If we don't, with machetes,

axes, clubs, anything!

Once you begin...

you have to be prepared

for killing and more killing.

And still more killing...until

the reason for it has gone.

We understand.

We've considered that.

Does every man in the

village feel the same?

Every man.

I'll see what I can do for you.

Gracias. You know...

Now, wait.

I didn't say I'll go.
