It's strange how pulling a trigger is easier than playing the guitar. Easier to destroy, than to create.
[praying] Give me the strength to be what I was, and forgive me for what I am.
Let's play ...
[ comes back for the guitar-case of weapons that he just threw away] Just in case. It's a long ride to the next town.
Now I wasn't interested in his drink. Nope, I was more interested in what he was carrying when he walked in. Some sort of a suitcase, kind of heavy. He sat that thing on the stool beside him as if it were his girl.
[to El Mariachi] Ya know, one of these days you're gonna lie down too hard on that bed and blow your brains out.
Short Bartender: Bad beer, bad service. Don't people know not to come in here?
He came back to settle the score with someone. Anyone. EVERYONE.
