Quotes
-
Don Diego de la Vega : You know, it's a great moment for me too. Well, I'll be able to clear my name once and for all and at the same time fulfill a secret ambition of mine.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : What ambition, don Diego?
Don Diego de la Vega : You won't laugh?
[Garcia shakes his head]
Don Diego de la Vega : Well, Sergeant, I've always wished that some day you and I could stand shoulder to shoulder in battle.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Battle, don Diego?
Don Diego de la Vega : Well, Zorro will not give up without a fight.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Oh, that is true.
Don Diego de la Vega : Ah, Sergeant, I can see it now. There he is!
[pointing behind Garcia]
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Where?
Don Diego de la Vega : He comes at us. We draw our swords!
[throws his sword across the room in the process of drawing it]
Don Diego de la Vega : [retrieving the sword] I'm sorry, Sergeant. I didn't have a good grip on it. We stand, shoulder to shoulder. En garde, Zorro!
[lunges forward piercing the back of the chair in front of him]
Don Diego de la Vega : Just a little nick, Sergeant.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Don Diego, it might be better if you were not *at* my side. Perhaps a little behind.
Don Diego de la Vega : Protecting you from a surpise attack. Excellent idea, Sergeant!
[Garcia walks a few steps away with his back to Diego who skewers the arm of the chair]
Don Diego de la Vega : [laughs] I'll pay for it, Sergeant. I just need a little room, that's all. Ha, Zorro!
[begins to wildly swing his sword around while moving about the room]
Don Alejandro de la Vega : You do not know what this means to him, Sergeant.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : I know what it will mean to *me*, don Alejandro!
