Paro porque mi voz se quiebra, porque en un instante la imagen de Beatrice que ya no puede más barre todas aquellas palabras, de Beatrice que en silencio cierra los ojos porque ya no puede más. Y no los vuelve a abrir. Y entonces todo el mundo que ...
I know that you and your girls have been told for years on end that you just don’t pass up any opportunities when a man walks your way—he could be The One. But I’m here to tell you that this philosophy is just plain dumb. Women are smart—you ...

Belize: Hell or heaven? [Roy indicates "Heaven" through a glance] Belize: Like San Francisco. Roy Cohn: A city. Good. I was worried... it'd be a garden. I hate that shit. Belize: Mmmm. Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every cor...

So, like I said, these are a bunch of really sweet guys, but you wouldn't want to share a Galaxy with them, not if they're just gonna keep at it, not if they're not gonna learn to relax a little. I mean it's just gonna be continual nervous time, isn'...
—¿Hope? ¿Me prometes algo? —Sí —le digo. —¿Sabes a veces, cuando tu papa te hace llorar? —¿Me prometes que cuando él te haga sentir triste, siempre pensaras en el cielo? —Pero, ¿por qué? —Porque sí. —Vuelve su rostro hacia la...
