Agent Sands El, you really must try this because it's puerco pibil. It's a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it's ever been anywhere. In fact, it's too good. It's so good that when I'm finished, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook. Because that's what I do. I restore the balance to this country. And that is what I would like from you right now. Help keep the balance by pulling the trigger.

[after giving Belini $10,000 in cash in exchange for information]
Sands Just for my own edification, I offered you fifty. Why'd you say no?
Belini I'm not a greedy man. Not looking to get rich quick. Besides, fifty thousand is a lot for what you wanted me to find out. Could just as well put a bullet in my head as cough it up, see? But ten? Ten thousand is civilized. Ten is something we both can live with.
Sands Ten might still be too much.
Belini You'd kill me over ten thousand dollars? You wouldn't dare. You wouldn't dare.
[leaves]
Sands [whispers] Yes, I would.

Agent Sands Bullfights. Bull hockey. Do you like this? The bull is stabbed, prodded, beaten. The bull is wounded. The bull is tired before the matador ever steps into the ring. Now, is that victory? Of course it is. Want to know the secret to winning? Creative sportsmanship. In other words...
[He leans forward and taps Cucuy, who triggers a remote control. In the ring, a taser hidden in the matador's clothes goes off, freezing him in place, and the bull tramples him]

[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.

Sands Belini... How long have you and I done business together? A long time. And in a way, I almost, could have the tiniest smidgen of respect for you. Almost. But you need to stop farting around. Now, do you have the information on Barillo or do you not?
Belini I have what you need. I'm just enjoying this temporary position of power. That make you nervous?
Sands You know that withholding vital information from a federal officer is a serious offence. Especially when that officer has paid handsomely for it and wouldn't think twice about ripping that patch off your eye hole and skull-fucking you to death.

Agent Sands [on phone] Listen, I cannot do everything by myself. I need someone to go in there with me. No! I lost my inside man, probably dead. And Cucuy, greedy turd that he is, has ratted me out and has disappeared. Plus, I'm pretty sure the Cartel's shadowing me. Now, listen. I have got a swell bunch of guys going to intercept Marquez's army, but they've got no guns! Now listen. I want you to understand me. This is no time to screw the pooch because this is supposed to be the big dance number. Hello? Hello, are you there? Ok, ok I'm going to freak right out!

Agent Sands [searching Belini's dead body] Where is it? I know it's on you somewhere... all right, time to get messy.
