- Don Diego de la Vega: [to the emmisary, who Zorro has put into the stocks] Sing us a birthday song for Sergeant Garcia.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: [singing] There should be laughter and mirth.
- Don Diego de la Vega: Oh, louder.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: [singing slightly louder] On the day of your birth. This is the day of the year when all your friends are here.
- [people start to wake up and come into the plaza]
- Andres Felipe Basilio: Felicidades y muchos años, it's the happiest day of the year.
- Don Diego de la Vega: Bravo, señor. But would you mind singing it again? And this time louder. I don't think everyone heard you.
- [cut off buttons from the emmisary's coat and vest]
- Don Diego de la Vega: It's a pity your hands are occupied, Excellency, because you'll lose your trousers when the first lancer approaches.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: No! No! Stand back, all of you. I'll court-martial the first man who comes near.
- Don Diego de la Vega: Now, won't you sing the song again? This time for the soldiers.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: [singing] There should be laughter and mirth on the day of your birth.
- [the crowd laughs]
- Andres Felipe Basilio: This is the day of the year when all your friends are here. Felicidades y muchos años, it's the happiest day of the year.
- Don Diego de la Vega: Bravo. Bravo. Sergeant, your birthday present.
- Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia: My good friends, you know, there should always be laughter and mirth. Especially on the day of your birth. Why, this is the day of the year when all of your friends are near.
- [singing]
- Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia: So break your piñata to see what they brought you. It's the happiest day of the year.
