Quotes 

• Dr. Villega : Not everybody can fight. There are those who must organize, coordinate.

  Sean Mallory : Yes, yes. Of course!

• Dr. Villega : I see. You've already judged and condemned me.

  [John doesn't answer] 

  Dr. Villega : That's why you've brought me with you. To kill me. It's easy to judge. Have you ever been tortured? Are you sure you wouldn't talk? I was sure. And yet I talked. Some men died because of me. What should I do? Kill myself? Why? The dead remain dead but me, I have not changed. I still believe in the same things. I can continue to serve the cause!

  John H. Mallory : Shut up, Villega! Shut up, for Christ's sake.

• Dr. Villega : When the enemy is busy on four fronts, we'll move against our real objective. Do we still agree?

  [John nods] 

  Dr. Villega : You'll need men.

  John H. Mallory : I only need one man.

  Dr. Villega : One?

  John H. Mallory : Sí.

  Dr. Villega : [gestures to Juan]  Him.

  [John nods] 

  Juan Miranda : [exasperated]  "Him"? "Him"? What is with this "him"? Him, whom? Who him, huh? TO DO WHAT? That's what I wanna know!

  John H. Mallory : To attack the bank.

  Juan Miranda : [thinking they want him to commit a robbery]  The bank? Oh, w-w-w-w-w-w-we will take care of the bank. That's why we're here, so don't worry about that!

  Dr. Villega : Well, then... what can I say? Except... I hope you make it.

  [shakes Juan's hand] 

  Juan Miranda : Me too. And him!

• Dr. Villega : [to the revolutionaries]  And now, to our work, friends. I have good news. In two days, Villa and Zapata will attack simultaneously from north and south. We here, like those in other cities, must begin parallel actions of harassment. Pereto's downfall is just a question of weeks...

  [Miguel coughs loudly] 

  Dr. Villega : Whereas Miguel's is only a question of hours if he doesn't stop smoking.

  [revolutionaries laugh] 

  Miguel : Easy to say.

• Miguel : [referring to Juan]  What about that one? Him?

  Dr. Villega : He's alright... except that when operating, he cuts deeper than I do.

  Juan Miranda : What the doctor means is that one time we did a... little work together.
