José Lewgoy: Don Octavio Coutinho

Quotes 

• Don Octavio Coutinho : Hey, you with the bare feet. What's your name?

  Francisco Manoel da Silva : Da Silva. Francisco Manoel da Silva.

• Don Octavio Coutinho : You know, when I think there are still some fields not planted with my sugarcane, it makes me simply furious. It makes me even madder to think there are meadows where my cattle aren't grazing! And when I think of all the mulatto girls I haven't made pregnant yet, why, that's quite beyond endurance. Better watch out for the ladies, my friend!

• Don Octavio Coutinho : I alone produce more sugar than the whole state of Pernambuco. A hundred twenty tons per year. And all of it goes to England, our enemy. They've abolished the slave trade. They seize our ships. And yet, without us they wouldn't have any sugar. And the way they buy the sugar, you'd think our rivers were overflowing with the stuff. Hah, it's grotesque.

• Don Octavio Coutinho : I'll kill the lot of you! My daughter are all whores. Rutting with a barefoot cowherd! Bonita you whore! Bonita! You filthy little bitch! Bonita pregnant! Bonita pregnant! And you, Wanderleide! Only fifteen and already pregnant! Valkyria! Valkyria! Valkyria! Valkyria, look me in the eye and tell me the truth! Are you pregnant, too? Well!

  Valkyria : No, I mean yes. Daddy, I don't know!

  Don Octavio Coutinho : Oh, God. Cowherd! Bastard! You! What have you got to say for yourself!

  Francisco Manoel da Silva : Sugarcane planter. I am the bandit Cobra Verde.
