- Maria Mendoza: Eduardo died because this man taught him to steal and the law caught up with him.
- Danny Mendoza: Eduardo died because he was shot in the back by a masked man called the Lone Ranger.
- Maria Mendoza: No. I have read much about this Lone Ranger. He does not shoot people in the back.

- The Lone Ranger: Tonto, you've been riding fast. You're back from town early.
- Tonto: Ah. Me have good reason to ride fast, Kemosabe. Look.
- The Lone Ranger: [reading from a newspaper] Daring Nighttime Escape from State Prison. Last night, after slugging and injuring two guards, the notorious Vic Foley made good on his boast that no prison was big enough to hold him. Foley was captured only last year after a desperate gun battle in which his confederate, a young Mexican boy named Eduardo Mendoza, was killed.
- Maria Mendoza: Senor Foley, please. Because of you, one of my brothers is already dead. Do not take the other away from me too.
- Vic Foley: I'm sorry, Maria. I need him.
- Maria Mendoza: Why? You are smarter and stronger than he is. And no man can draw a gun faster or shoot it straight than you.
- Vic Foley: That's what I thought until I met that masked man.
- Maria Mendoza: What do you mean?
- Vic Foley: I mean this...
- [Foley removes his glove]
- Vic Foley: Know what it means for a man like me to lose his trigger finger? All my life, I've lived by the gun. And all because of that masked man, I can't hit the broad side of a barn.
- Maria Mendoza: I'm glad. Glad! I hope his next bullet finds your heart.
- The Lone Ranger: You're planning to kill us. There's no reason the boy has to die too. We're willing to let him walk out if you want him too.
- Vic Foley: But I don't want him to. And you're smart enough to know that, mister. The way I've got it figured, a hundred thousand dollars ain't nearly enough for one man, let alone two.

- Maria Mendoza: They are fine men, Danny. We must remember them in our prayers.
- Danny Mendoza: Si, Maria. I think I will always remember the Lone Ranger.
- The Lone Ranger: Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!
