[trapped on the upper floor of a hotel by Marquez's men]
El Mariachi : Any suggestions, Ms. "Why don't we get a room on the 5th floor so we can see the beautiful sunset"?
-
El Mariachi : Go practice.
Fideo : Practice playing or shooting?
El Mariachi : What do you think?
Fideo : I don't think, I drink.
-
El Mariachi : You want me to shoot the cook?
Agent Sands : No. I'll shoot the cook. My car's parked out back, anyway.

El Mariachi : Dead.

[Marquez draws a gun, El Mariachi draws and fires, and Marquez falls wounded. El Mariachi walks up and places his gun to Marquez's head]
El Mariachi : In hell.
[Kills him]
-
El Mariachi : Why me?
Sands : Frankly, because you've got nothing to live for... and in a way you're already dead and Marquez is the one that killed you so why not return the favor?

[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.
-
Carolina : What's wrong?
El Mariachi : [sees soldiers approaching] Everything.

[a cartel soldier sees El Mariachi coming and goes for his gun, but El Mariachi gets there first and aims his shotgun]
El Mariachi : [in Spanish] What do you want in life?
[the soldier throws his gun away]
El Mariachi : [in English] Good choice.
