[clicks his rifle and points it at Jess Wade as he steps out of the tavern] Where are you going? Mr. Go-Straight Wade!
Vince Hackett: Hey, Jess! Now you should've never left me, Jess! We miss you, couldn't you tell?
Jess Wade: [slowly responding] I figured.
Vince Hackett: All right, Billy, see what he's got on him.
Billy Roy Hackett: [looking and walking around Jess, laughing as he speaks] I'd say he's got on him uh... boots... pants... some kind of shirt... some kind of hat! That's what I'd say he's got on him, Vince.
Vince Hackett: [Vince slaps Billy down] Take out his wallet, idiot!
Billy Roy Hackett: [yelling hysterically] WHAT KIND OF BROTHER ARE YOU, IN FRONT OF HIM?
Vince Hackett: [yelling angrily] WELL DO WHAT I TELL YOU!
Jess Wade: [Jess grabs Billy by his shirt's collar as Billy first attempts to frisk Jess] Do you own work Vince. Don't say I need to do it for you.
Vince Hackett: [clicks his gun and points it at Jess] Look! You've been around us long enough to know that when I bad-mouth my brother I don't want to hear an echo. NOW LET HIM GO!
Vince Hackett: Already have. Billy Roy let loose by sundown. All right get that gun down this hill until it's a quarter mile from town.
Gunner: Down that hill down there? That ain't a hill, Vince, that's a cliff.
Jess Wade: He'll be a lot quieter when that swelling goes down.
Billy Roy Hackett: Swelling from WHAT?
Jess Wade: That bump on your head.
Billy Roy Hackett: [feeling his head] I ain't got no bump on my head.
Jess Wade: [smacking Billy Roy's head into one of the bars] You have now!

Facts about
The film's title, "Charro", which refers to the nickname of Elvis's character Jess Wade, loosely translates from Spanish to English as "singer". Specifically, "Charro" refers to the lead singer of a mariachi band. Although it's a fitting name for an actor known as a singer, Elvis ironically does no singing in the movie.
This movie was part of a deal that 'Colonel Tom Parker' signed for Elvis Presley with NBC and National General. Elvis was paid a large sum for doing both the well-known NBC TV Special (now called The '68 Comeback special)and this picture for National General Pictures. The TV special was shot at the end of June 1968 (and aired in December) and the film was shot in July and August 1968 (and was released early 1969). The TV show was supposed to be a Christmas Special with Xmas songs only but turned to be a rock 'n' roll revival show while the movie, on the contrary, was supposed to be much more violent.
It's rumored that there was some alternate, violent scenes, that were deleted from the final edit.
