• Billy Blue Cannon : Why do you stay at the High Chaparral instead of at your Pa's ranch?

  Manolito Montoya : Oh, I thought you had guessed that, hombre.

  Billy Blue Cannon : Guessed what?

  Manolito Montoya : That I stay here because, um, como do they say? Because here I am just another vaquero, and that is all that is expected of me. At the Rancho Montoya, there I am the son of Don Sebastian Montoya, one of the most powerful hacendados in Mexico. And I must never forget that, not while I am at the Rancho Montoya. You know, sometimes when I'm there, I watch my father, and I see the things he must do to be the man that he is. I don't want to be the most powerful hacendado in all of Mexico.

  Billy Blue Cannon : What do you want?

  Manolito Montoya : [laughing]  Quien sabe? Before I could tell you I probably would have changed my mind, hombre. Don't ask me, alright?
