QUOTES
Agent Sands: Are you a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T?
Cucuy: I'm a Mexi-CAN
Agent Sands: Good. Then do as I say.
Agent Sands: [Hands the bar keep a lunch box] I couldn't find a briefcase small enough for 10,000 dollars.
Agent Sands: Why? Why would I want that? Why would I want bubblegum?
[El meets Cucuy in the middle of town]
Cucuy: There's cartel on every corner.
El Mariachi: Sands told me you handle protection.
Cucuy: I don't work for Sands anymore. And since I'm a Mexi-can, I can do
whatever I want.
El Mariachi: Then I guess I don't work for Sands neither. Goodbye.
[Cucuy grabs his arm]
Cucuy: There's a price on your head. I'm going to collect. Why don't you
just tell Barillo everything you know and then maybe he'll just cut off your
hands.
El Mariachi: And if I don't?
Cucuy: Remember that old man I killed in your village? What if your whole
village was next?
El Mariachi: Would you kill them?
Cucuy: Me?
[Points to his men]
Cucuy: They certainly would.
El Mariachi: Then I guess I have no choice... but to kill you all.
[upon finding something hidden in a corpse's hollow eye socket]
Agent Sands: Well, I guess I should thank you for not sticking it up your
ass.
