Teclo Quotes in Guns for San Sebastian (1968)

Teclo: I burned the village, but the priest came back.... with guns and soldiers. You see, it's always the same: they build a house, and then the priest comes and he builds a church. And soon, all around the church, there's a village. After the priest come the soldiers. They put up a flag and say 'Now, this belongs to us!' And they steal the food - they steal the horses. And more, they take the women to make a race of... HALF-BREEDS!

'Golden Lance': Like you?

Teclo: Like me.

'Golden Lance': When the harvest is ready, we will attack. Then we will have our corn. And you will have your people, back in the hills.

Teclo: [cutting Leon down from a tree where he has been hung] Priest, you have one day to get your strength back, and one day to get over the mountains. If not: on the third day, just like your book says, YOU WILL RISE.
