Quotes
-
Isabella Linares : Fencing? Diego, are you out of your mind?
Don Diego de la Vega : Not yet, but I'm afraid I'm being driven there.
-
Don Diego de la Vega : Well, I consider myself the victor by default.
Isabella Linares : Well, you should consider yourself lucky that he left.
Don Diego de la Vega : As a matter of fact, I do. Because now I get to take you home alone.
-
Don Diego de la Vega : [answering the door] Well, Sergeant, come in. What a surprise.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Gracias, don Diego. Gracias. Nice day.
[clears throat]
Don Diego de la Vega : Sergeant.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Yes, don Diego.
Don Diego de la Vega : You seem to be troubled.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : No, no. No trouble, don Diego. I just happened to be passing by. I-I was out for a ride. I-it is such a nice day.
Don Diego de la Vega : Yes it is.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : The sun is hot, though.
Don Diego de la Vega : Very.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : For this time of year that is.
Don Diego de la Vega : True.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [awkward pause] Don Diego, are you Zorro?
Don Diego de la Vega : What did you ask?
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Are you Zorro?
Don Diego de la Vega : Sergeant, that sun must be hotter than I think it is. Sit down. Sit down.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : But, don Diego...
Don Diego de la Vega : I'll get you some nice chilled wine and when you feel better you can tell me all about it.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Si, don Diego.
-
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!
-
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [displaying the key] No, no, no. I locked the door myself. The windows are barred. He could not possibly escape.
Ramon Castillo : Go ahead, Sergeant. Open the door. Diego de la Vega is not there. He is Zorro. We win the bet.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Money will do you no good in prison, Senor Castillo.
Marcos Estrada : No, but it will be most comforting.
Ramon Castillo : You can't send us to prison for taking our own money. And we won it fair and square.
[gesturing toward the locked door]
Ramon Castillo : Go ahead, see for yourself.
[Garcia takes the money with him and unlocks the door]
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [confidently without looking into the room] Don Diego, come out and show Senor Castillo that you are not Zorro.
[nothing happens]
Ramon Castillo : [laughs and hold out his hand] Sergeant.
[Garcia grips the money tighter]
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [pleading] Don Diego, please.
Don Diego de la Vega : [slowly exiting the room while Garcia grins] Sergeant, I may never speak to you again.
Marcos Estrada : [to Ramon] I may never speak to *you* again!
Ramon Castillo : It's a trick.
Marcos Estrada : Sure!
Ramon Castillo : It's a trick! Diego de la Vega is Zorro!
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [happily] Lancers, take them away.
-
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : [trying to get Diego out of the way for his safety] Don Diego, have you seen my living quarters?
Don Diego de la Vega : Not recently, Sergeant.
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : Well, let me show them to you!
[Diego doesn't move]
Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia : I've had one of the walls whitewashed.
Don Diego de la Vega : Oh, well, in that case.
