Chamlee Quotes in The Magnificent Seven (1960)

Chamlee: I'm sorry, friend, but there'll be no funeral.

Henry: What?

Chamlee: Oh, the grave is dug and the defunct there is as ready as the embalmers ought to make him. But there'll be no funeral.

Henry: What's the matter? Didn't I pay enough?

Chamlee: It's not a question of money. For twenty dollars, I'd plant anybody with a hoop and a holler. But the funeral is off.

Henry: Now how do you like that. I want him buried, you want him buried and if he could sit up and talk, he'd second the motion. Now that's as unanimous as you can get.

Chamlee: I don't like it, no sir. I've always treated every man the same: just as another, future customer.

Henry: Well in that case, get that hearse rolling.

Chamlee: I can't, my driver's quit!

Robert: He's prejudiced too, huh?

Chamlee: Well, when it comes to a chance of getting his head blown off, he's downright bigoted.

Henry: Well I'll be damned. I never knew you had to be anything but a corpse to get into Boot Hill. How long's this been going?

Chamlee: Since the town got civilized.

Chamlee: There's an element in town that objects.

Henry: Objects? Objects to what?

Chamlee: They say he isn't fit to be buried there.

Robert: What? In Boot Hill?

Henry: Why, there's nothing up there but murderous cutthroats and derelict old barflies, and if they ever felt exclusive brother, they're past it now.
