Quotes 

• Pirate : [after just landing on the California shore, as Zappa and the Captain are walking inland]  Captain!

  Captain Bardoso : Well, what?

  Pirate : I have a feeling, Captain.

  Captain Bardoso : Then scratch it, dog.

  Pirate : This is a feeling about the Californios. Maybe they're... watching us. Maybe they - when the Californios catch a pirate, they tie him behind a horse and run him until his feet wear down to his ankles.

  [the Captain punches him, he falls to the ground] 

  Marcos Zappa : And his ankles down to his legs, and his legs to the top of his head.

  [taps the Captain on his forehead] 

• Luis : [looking at Zappa's dinner]  Such beautiful fat venison, hardly touched. And the so tender bosoms of partridge, ornamented with white and purple grapes, and the abalone, the - abalone is good for you, before you go to bed.

  Marcos Zappa : I told you, I'm not hungry.

• Marcos Zappa : [toast]  To our infant Republic of Mexico, may she live forever. To Marcos Zappa, may he live even longer.

• Marcos Zappa : In California, I only have one friend. Me.

• Marcos Zappa : I am a stranger in your midst; so, naturally, you want to know why I came, where I'm going, what I do. So, I'll tell you. Why I come, where I'm going, what I do, is nobody's business but my own.

• Marcos Zappa : My friend and I are used to wearing masks.

• Captain Bardoso : Where are we going?

  Marcos Zappa : To an establishment known as the House of Pleasure.

  Captain Bardoso : The House of Pleasure?

• Manuella de Vasquez : Tell me, what really happened at the House of Pleasure?

  Marcos Zappa : It is not for young girls to know about.

• Marcos Zappa : All gentlemen have secrets they should not tell.

• Manuella de Vasquez : They say that love gives wings to dancing feet; but, I have heard that truth makes love complete.

  Marcos Zappa : Since the dance will only last a minute, why ask for more than there is in it?

• Captain Bardoso : Who's this popinjay?

  Marcos Zappa : The man you ought to thank for all your past prosperity.

  Captain Bardoso : Him?

  Marcos Zappa : And your master.

  Captain Bardoso : This fancy lizard? Ha!

• Anita Gonzales : Well, what are you gonna do?

  Marcos Zappa : What can I do?

  Anita Gonzales : You can be a man!

  Anita Gonzales : As you are being a woman?

• Marcos Zappa : You used the brand to blackmail me into making love with Manuella. Do you still think the brand on me can save you?
