One question about a line in the movie:
"Haven't that kind of money."
"I'll take a marker against your share of the gold."
What does that mean?
Eight divided by one-half equals four squared!
Taking a marker from someone is like getting an IOU or a promissory note from them, to do or deliver something at a later date.
As to the scene in question, Taw Jackson really wanted Lomax to come join the group of robbers. Lomax was pretty hesitant, and said he wanted to get paid in advance for his services, but Taw Jackson didn't have the amount of money that Lomax wanted. To which Lomax said "I'll take a marker against your share of the gold." So, Lomax was saying he'd accept a written promise (a "marker") for a portion of Taw Jackson's share of the gold at some future date - obviously after the "War Wagon" had successfully been robbed of its gold and everybody had their share of the loot.
WOW! That was very well written, Sir! Thank you so much for replying, and making it SO clear what it means without talking down to me! PLEASE feel free to click on my name, & read other movies about which I've seen, & made observations, &/or asked questions.
Thanks again!

Glad I could be of assistance.
