Quotes 

• Coatl : I think of what you do for me in Spain. I think I speak to you now. Maybe I understand better why you come here. This is my country, senor. These are my people, my gods. We not come tell you to stop loving your gods. We not come to make you slaves. Why do you do this, senor?

  Pedro De Vargas : Well, I'm afraid I haven't any answer for that. It isn't right for men to worship idols. There's only one true God.

  Coatl : Maybe your God and my God same God. Maybe we just call him by different names.

• Pedro De Vargas : [reacting to the torture of his sister]  I'll confess anything if you'll just release her!

  Don Francisco De Vargas : No! Do not save her by a lie! Silva, if you do this thing, look to your own soul!

• Pedro De Vargas : [finding Botello lying on the ground]  Botello, what happened?

  Prof. Botello : [groans]  What misery! I'm lucky to be alive! Oh, my poor head!

  Pedro De Vargas : But what happened?

  Prof. Botello : You won't tell on me, Pedro lad?

  Pedro De Vargas : Of course not!

  Prof. Botello : I was just taking a stroll with one of those Indian ladies - ugly as sin, of course, color of mud, but charming, dear boy, charming.

  Pedro De Vargas : You know the penalty for touching an Indian!

  Prof. Botello : Now, now, Pedro, you know orders don't apply to a cockroach like me.
