• Florentine : Ursula?

  Ursula : [Lounging in her underwear]  What is it?

  Florentine : Have you gone mad? What if someone comes in?

  Ursula : There's no one here. Everyone's gone to the Fiesta.

  Florentine : You never know. A visitor could arrive.

  Ursula : Then he'll have something worth remembering.

• Florentine : What are you doing there, Ursula?

  Ursula : Taking a shower.

  Florentine : But that's the servants' shower!

  Ursula : So what? It works.

• Florentine : I should despise myself, but I'm madly happy.

• Ursula : Is it fun to make love? Hey, I'm talking to you!

  Florentine : If you hadn't taken a shower, I'd have cooled you off myself.

  Ursula : At school I used to think of love very theoretically. But lately... Maybe it's the weather.

• Florentine : I've never been with any man other than Miguel.

  Ursula : You've made a real mistake then.

  Florentine : You're impossible!

  Ursula : Because I see things as they are? You chose to live a lie and ruined it all.

• Ursula : You could start over.

  Florentine : You forget my age. I'm not young anymore.

  Ursula : I'd like to be as beautiful as you are

• Florentine : I no longer dare to look in the mirror.

  Ursula : You're crazy! Look at yourself! You're young, you're beautiful. Look at your body.

• Florentine : You think I'm not human? Don't you think I have my own thoughts at night in bed?

• Ursula : In real fights are the bulls bigger?

  Florentine : Much bigger.

  Lambert : That's not a bull, it's a heifer.

  Florentine : But, it charges like a bull.

  Lambert : Cows fight as well as bulls. Sometimes they're even more dangerous. They charge with their eyes wide-open.
