Quotes from Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
1
[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.
