Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  [Felipe enters the room where Don Diego is trying to make lunar observations with his telescope] 

  Don Diego de la Vega : Put out that light. What is it, Felipe? Yes, I know the hour is late. You see, there is one obstacle which has vexed astronomers down through the ages - you can only study the moon at night.

• Don Diego de la Vega : Felipe, it is time for you to learn some swordsmanship.

  [Diego parries Felipe's sudden thrust] 

  Don Diego de la Vega : Excellent... but you forgot the salute. That's very impolite.

• Alcalde Luis Ramone : Good evening, Zorro. Those shots were a warning... the pleasure of killing you is mine.

  Zorro : My sword says differently, Señor Alcalde.

• Ricardo Cortez : But h-how did you know I was really still alive?

  Zorro : The insignia of the great Calederon Theater Company, Mexico City - so nicely embossed upon your saddlebags. Who would want to kill an actor, I asked myself? Not even his harshest critic.

• [Zorro sets Sergeant Mendoza's pants on fire with the lens of his telescope] 

  Zorro : Yes, Sergeant, I burn, too. I apologize if I've made you uncomfortable, but such are the forces of nature when harnessed by man. I burn, too - with injustice! Alcaide, a remarkable thing has occurred... a dead man has been resurrected. May I present Ricardo Cortes, alias a corpse known as Morales.

  Alcalde Luis Ramone : Seize him!

  [the Alcaide's men charge towards Zorro] 

  Zorro : Another step and your old school friend may die yet again.
