- Tuco lifted his own gun out of the concealing suds and shot him precisely through the adam’s apple.
- “When you’re going to shoot somebody,” he said coldly to the twitching figure on the floor, “shoot him. Don’t stand around trying to talk a man to death.”

- The song ended abruptly in a choked gurgle. He sat up, his mouth open, gaping at the tall figure in the poncho who materialised in the doorway.
- “Eh-eh-eh! Whitey? Is that really you or a ghost? It must be you because I don’t believe in ghosts. If there were such things—I would be followed by a crowd.”
- - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly novel, chapters 15 and 16
