    [laughs]

    Maria de Lopez: Courage, courage!

  • Lolita Pulido: You talk - you fight - you look like Zorro!

    Don Diego Vega: And I love like Zorro...

  • Don Diego Vega: If this be the governor, then angels have turned politicians.

  • [the Commandante lashes his whip at Don Diego]

    Don Diego Vega: Except bloodshed and death.
