Dialogue edit

Nacho: Good to see you, man!
Pepper: ¿Como estas?
Nacho: Where the hell have you been?
Pepper: I've been with the worms in Mexico
Nacho: ¡Chihuahua!
Pepper: I miss your cookin'
Nacho: You talk to Sonny? C'mon Pepper, Sonny will forgive you.
Pepper: Oh, yeah? When? That rodeo was a year ago. He ain't said six words to me, since. I told him I'm sorry. What the hell does he want?
Nacho: Sonny, he don't care about words. You have to show him.
Pepper: I ain't gonna kiss his ass if that's what you mean. It's so sour it probably taste like a damned old lemon, anyhow.
Nacho: Don't give up on him, Pepper. You've been friends too long for that.
Pepper: Yeah. I had a reason for not showing up to that rodeo
Nacho: Tell him what he wants and he will understand.
Pepper: Maybe someday when he ain't being such a damned shitass.

Nacho: Pepper is still trying to make up.
Sonny: Hell I ain't listening'
Nacho: He's your friend. You guys should be out there chasing that steer together, right now.
Sonny: A friend don't pull a no show at a national rodeo, Nacho. Not in my book. I had plans for that money, you know that.
Nacho: Is there anything in that book about forgiveness?
Sonny: Nacho, Pepper & I are through, OK?
Nacho: You have the heart the size of a tiny raisin, you know that?
Sonny: Why don't you just handle my book?
Nacho: If you only knew what it was like to be alone, you would treasure your friend.
Sonny: Where are you going?
Nacho: Home. I'm going home.
Sonny: You're not going to stay and watch me ride?

Waiter: How would you like you steaks cooked?
Pepper: Oh, just knock its horns off, wipe its nasty ass, and chunk it right here on this plate.

Chango: What's a baby cow gonna do to me?
[Sonny shrugs and pulls down Chango's pants]
Chango: Hey come on man! What you doing?
Sonny: Well what do you know, our friend here isn't wearing any underpants!
Pepper: [pulls a baby calf out of the barn and the calf starts snorting] He sees it!
Sonny: Damn, that hungry devil thinks your little wee-wee is his mama's teat.
Chango: Hey hey man, you guys can't do this.
Sonny: I'll ask you one more time asshole, where's Teresa?
Chango: I ain't telling you shit!
Sonny: It's your call stubby, let him go Pepper!
[Pepper releases the calf and it makes its way towards Chango]
Chango: Whoa! [begins to moan as the calf begins to suck his penis]
Sonny: Damn, that looks like it hurts.

Waiter at Waldorf Astoria: How would you gentlemen like your steak prepared?
Pepper: Prepared? Oh you mean cooked?
Waiter at Waldorf Astoria: Yes, of course, that's what I should have said, cooked.

Waiter at Waldorf Astoria: And would you care to order wine with your meal?
Pepper: Uh, yeah why don't you bring us a bottle of something or other, uh not too sweet, American.
Waiter at Waldorf Astoria: American something or other, yes sir an excellent choice and would you like glasses or do you prefer to drink directly from the bottle?
Pepper: Well, um, glasses I reckon and oh hay toss a little ice in mine if you would my good man.
Waiter at Waldorf Astoria: Ice, certainly sir. Nothing could surprise me now.

Sonny: So, what did you do to make the money to buy this? You didn't give that old lady a fake check did you?
Pepper: No, of course not. [under his breath] Bitch wouldn't take a check.

Sonny: [Pepper drags Sonny behind a horse carriage, hiding from the owners of the Waldorf Astoria] Pepper, those people are guessing that you skipped the bill.
Pepper: Oh yeah, well they guessed right!
Sonny: Well, then pay them!
Pepper: Yeah right, with what?
Sonny: You lying son of a bitch, you told me You still got some of that prize money left!
Pepper: Of course I do, have I ever lied to you before?
Sonny: Well, how much do you got?
Pepper: About 8 bucks, I reckon.
Sonny: About 8 bucks, I reckon?
Pepper: Better than a poke in the eye.
Sonny: [Starts walking off] Pepper, I've about had it with you!

Officer Shaw: Where you guys from, Texas?
Pepper: Texas? Ain't no real cowboys from Texas, we're from New Mexico.
