Quotes28

  • Chel: Oh, then I suppose you'll be wanting these back?
  • [produces dice in her hand]
  • Tulio: [pats pockets, shocked] Hey... how'd you get those?
  • Miguel: [raising eyebrows] WHERE was she KEEPING them?
  • [Miguel and Tulio are stranded in the boat, together with Altivo]
  • Miguel: Tulio, did you ever imagine it would end like this?
  • Tulio: The horse is a surprise...
  • Miguel: Any... regrets?
  • Tulio: You mean besides dying? Yeah. I never... had enough... gold.
  • Miguel: My regret, besides dying is... our greatest adventure is over before it began, and no one will even remember us.
  • Tulio: Well, if it's any consolation, Miguel, you... made my life... an adventure.
  • Miguel: And if it's any consolation, Tulio, you made my life... rich.
  • Miguel: Altivo! Hey, Altivo! You want the nice apple? Come and get it! But, you have to do a trick for me first! All you have to do, is find a pry bar. It's a long piece of metal with a hooky thing at the end.
  • Tulio: Miguel, you're talking to a horse!
  • Miguel: Yes, that's it Altivo. Find the pry bar!
  • Tulio: Yes, "find the pry bar". He doesn't understand "pry bar"! He's a dumb horse, there's no way he could understand...
  • [Altivo drops keys into the brig]
  • Tulio: Well... it's *not* a pry bar.
  • Miguel: [while gambling] Look! El Dorado! The city of gold! This could be our destiny! Our fate!
  • Tulio: Miguel, if I believed in fate, I wouldn't be playing with loaded dice!
  • Cortes: [Miguel and Tulio have been brought to Cortes, having been discovered hiding on his ship] My crew was chosen as carefully as the Disciples of Christ, and I will not tolerate stowaways. You will be flogged. And when we put in to Cuba to resupply, *God willing*, you will be flogged some more. And then enslaved on the sugar plantations for the rest of your miserable lives. To the brig!
  • Miguel: [obllvious] All right... Cuba!
  • Tzekel-Kan: I know what you are, and I know what you are not. And you are *not* Gods!
  • Tulio: You're not a God? You lied to me? How dare you!
  • Miguel: [to Tzekel-Kan] Hey, it was *his* stupid plan!
  • Tulio: *My* plan was that we should *lie low*! But *your* plan was to run off! And be all, "Oh, look at me, look at me, I'm a God!"
  • Miguel: That's not true!
  • Tulio: No? Who are you kidding? You're buying your own con!
  • Miguel: At least I'm not *dating* mine!
  • Tulio: I...! Oo, low blow. Listen, mister high-and-mighty, we'd both be sailing out of here with a mountain of gold if you had *just listened* to me!
  • Miguel: Well, now you have all the precious gold *and* Chel! So what do you need *me* for?
  • [pushes Tulio]
  • Tulio: [pushing back] Well, maybe I *don't* need you anymore!
  • Miguel: Fine! So why don't you just *go* back to Spain, and I'll stay here, and we'll *both* get what *we* want!
  • Tulio: That's fine with me, pal!
  • Miguel: *Fine* with me too!
  • Tulio: Fine!
  • Tulio, Miguel: All RIGHT!
  • [they both punch Tzekel-kan]
  • Tulio: The little voice, remember? Just imagine for a moment that you have one. Now, what would it be saying about Chel?
  • Miguel: Um...
  • [purrs]
  • Miguel: [When the citizens of El Dorado ask who they are] I am Miguel.
  • Tulio: And I am Tulio.
  • [They dismount, Miguel's foot gets tangled in the reins]
  • Miguel: And they call us Miguel and Tulio!
  • Tulio: Miguel and Tulio!
  • Miguel: Tulio and Miguel!
  • [Together]
  • Miguel: Mighty and powerful Gods!
  • Chel: Hello.
  • [both squeal]
  • [Tzekel-Kan is about to perform a human sacrifice]
  • Tulio: [in an undertone to Miguel] I don't like this.
  • Miguel: Tulio, we've got to do something!
  • [Tzekel-Kan raises his axe]
  • Tulio: Stop! This is not a proper tribute!
  • [Miguel catches the intended victim and drags him away from the cliff edge]
  • Tzekel-Kan: [confused] You do not want the tribute?
  • Miguel: No no, we want tribute, it's just that, um... Tulio, tell him.
  • Tulio: The stars are not in position for this tribute!
  • Miguel: Like he said! Stars!... Can't do it... Not today.
  • Tulio: [they are being taken to the city square, thinking they are about to be executed]
  • [sighs]
  • Tulio: Well, it was nice working with you, partner.
  • Miguel: Tulio, I just want you to know... I'm sorry about that girl in Barcelona.
  • Tulio: [sudden realization] So you-- you-- you f...
  • Miguel: Pff! What makes you think we need your help?
  • Chel: [imitating Miguel] Kkh Kkh! Are you serious?
  • [Altivo the horse starts laughing]
  • Miguel: [realizing the beach they've landed on leads to El Dorado] Tulio! Tulio, we've done it!
  • Tulio: Is that the map?
  • Miguel: It's all right here!
  • Tulio: [in disbelief] You *still* have the *map*?
  • Miguel: The whistling rock! The stream!
  • Tulio: [annoyed] You kept the map but you couldn't manage to grab a little more FOOD?
  • Miguel: Even those mountains! You said it yourself, it could be possible, and it is! It really *is* the map to El Dorado!
  • [a beat]
  • Tulio: You drank sea water, didn't you?
  • Miguel: Oh, come on!
  • Tulio: I'm not coming on!
  • Chel: Hello...
  • Tulio: Get back mortal!
  • Miguel: Beware the wrath of the Gods! Be Gone! Kkh kkh!
  • Tulio: Back mortal, before we strike you with a lightning bolt!
  • Chel: [calmly] Save it for the High Priest, honey, you're gonna need it.
  • Tulio: [Miguel and Tulio are staging a swordfight to escape] I will give you the honor of a quick and painless death.
  • [grabs tiny dagger, looks at it]
  • Tulio: But not with that. I prefer to fight fairly!
  • [grabs rapier and slides it against Miguel's sword]
  • Tulio: Any last words?
  • Miguel: I will cut you to ribbons!
  • Tulio: Fool! Such mediocrity! Let your *sword* do the talking!
  • Miguel: I will, it will be loquacious to a fault!
  • [they continue fighting]
  • Miguel: You fight like my sister!
  • Tulio: I've fought your sister. That's a compliment.
  • Tulio: [after falling into water barrels, Miguel and Tulio are being carried off to a ship] What's happening here?
  • Miguel: We're both in barrels. That's the extent of my knowledge.
  • Miguel: We'll follow that trail!
  • Tulio: What trail?
  • Miguel: [chopping at vines with sword] The trail that we blaze!
  • [the vines fall down revealing a solid wall of rock; long pause]
  • Miguel: [pointing] THAT trail that we blaze...
  • [after seeing a skeleton on the beach]
  • Tulio: All in favor of getting back in the boat, say aye.
  • Miguel: Aye!
  • Miguel: [Tulio is banging his head against the wall in the brig] So how's the, uh... how's the escape plan coming?
  • Tulio: [Tulio stops banging his head] Wait! I'm getting something!
  • [pauses, then goes back to banging his head on the wall]
  • Tulio: All right. Here's the plan. In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, hijack one of those... one of those longboats... and then, we... row back to Spain like there's no mañana!
  • Miguel: [pauses] Back to Spain, yeah?
  • Tulio: Yeah.
  • Miguel: [uncertainly] In... a rowboat.
  • Tulio: Yeah!
  • Miguel: [sarcastically] Great. Sensational. That's your plan, is it?
  • Tulio: That's... pretty much it, yeah.
  • Miguel: [delighted] Well, I like it! So, how do we get on deck?
  • Tulio: [pauses, deep breath] In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, hijack one of those... longboats...
  • Miguel: [realizing Tulio doesn't have a plan] Oh, great.
  • Tulio: [They fall off a cliff and find a stone slab with an etching of the gods, surrounded by mist] Miguel, wake up. We found it!
  • Miguel: We did? Where?
  • Tulio: Here.
  • Miguel: What, behind the rock?
  • Tulio: Nope, here.
  • Miguel: But, but... *give* me that!
  • [snatches the map from Tulio's hands]
  • Miguel: I... this... can't be...
  • Tulio: [rising anger] Apparently, "El Dorado" is native for... great... big... ROCK!
  • [Tulio's voice echoes across the misty environment]
  • Tulio: Hey, but I'll tell you what, I'm feeling generous today, so *you* can have *my* share!
  • Miguel: You don't think that... that Cortes could've gotten here before us and... and...
  • Tulio: [sarcastically] And what? Taken all the *really* big rocks? The *SCOUNDREL*!
  • Miguel: Tulio! We... we've got to think about this, I... I mean we come all this way and...
  • Tulio: [comically furious] Get... on... the horse!
  • [Miguel sighs and makes a pitiful face]
  • Tulio: No, no, no, not with the face. Stop.
