- George Christensen: [they are watching a girl painting Jokel] That's J'ok-el!
- Carmen Romero: Well, that's how they call her here. It's a Mayan name, but most Mexicans call her La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. We shouldn't speak out loud about her, we shouldn't say her name.
- [whispering]
- Carmen Romero: It's too dangerous. She was born in here, in San Cristobal. She felt in love with a Spanish Soldier, they had two children, and then he left her for another woman. That night, she went insane... She took her children to a lake, and she drowned them.
- George Christensen: So, this is like a bed time story.
- Carmen Romero: No, when she realized what she had done, she filled her pockets with stones and walked to the bottom of the lake.
