Quotes6

  • Altamirano: [about native boy] Don Cabeza, how can you possibly refer to this child as an animal?
  • Cabeza: A parrot can taught to sing, Your Eminence.
  • Altamirano: Ah yes, but how does one teach it to sing as melodiously as this?
  • Cabeza: Your Eminence. This is a child of the jungle, an animal with a human voice. If it were human, an animal would cringe at its vices. These creatures are lethal and lecherous. They will have to be subdued by the sword and brought to profitable labor by the whip.
  • Altamirano: And you have the effrontery to tell me that this slaughter was necessary?
  • Cabeza: I did what I had to do.
  • Cabeza: I cannot and will not accept a challenge from a priest. His cloth protects him.
  • Mendoza: My cloth protects *you*!
  • Cabeza: The work of the Missions is the work of the devil. They teach contempt for property and lawful profit - and they're disobedient to the King's authority.
  • Altamirano: The paramount vow of the Jesuit, Don Cabeza, is the vow of obedience.
  • Cabeza: Then let them obey. Tell them Your Eminence!
  • Cabeza: Perhaps I'm missing something. I can't see any difference between this and my own.
  • Gabriel: That is the difference. This plantation is theirs.
  • Cabeza: Supply and demand is the law of trade.
  • Gabriel: And the law of souls?
