- Alcalde: I can't say a bad thing about these lemons. Not a single complaint. They're excellent. The problem is, who'd be the one brave enough to let unemployment drop like that, for free? Hmm? It would turn the system upside down.
- Méndez: My mother always told me so: Maintaining the unemployment rate within a predetermined range based on market needs is one of the premises most trusted economists consider axiomatic for reducing the supply of brute force, whether manual or intellectual, which ultimately makes no difference to them, and consequently, strengthening their status. Now, that man down there? I find him dull.
- José María: Look at my life, Méndez. I come to give you my virginity knowing I'll never see you again. I'll travel to underdeveloped countries in alphabetical order.
- Méndez: You've chosen the tormented Greek heroes as your role model, and that's what you get. And poets, storytellers, playwrights, and singer-songwriters will emerge who will praise you in the future, but this life is passing you by in a flash, José María. You've burdened your cyclopean shoulders with the morality of the world, and you've stored in your lymph nodes all the bullfighting shame that the centuries have distilled.
- José María: Well, maybe it's not that bad, huh?
- Méndez: How couldn't it be, shepherd boy? How couldn't it?
