Alberto Granado
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Mother.
- Mother Sister Alberto: Yes?
- Alberto Granado: We want to eat.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: We deserve to eat like everyone else.
- Mother Sister Alberto: Yes, but you didn't go to mass.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No.
- Mother Sister Alberto: Then, how do you expect to feed the body if you didn't feed the soul first?
- Alberto Granado: Er, denying food is not very Christian-like.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Yes, I doubt Jesus would act like this.
- Mother Sister Alberto: In this house, we have a set of rules that have to be followed.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: [to Alberto now, as she turns away] I haven't read any rule book.
- Alberto Granado: Neither did I. I think that if I find it I would eat it.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: "On the boat I heard the moist slap of bare feet and foresaw faces dark with hunger. My heart was a pendulum between her and the street. I don't know what strength broke me free from her eyes, loose from her arms. She remained clouded by tears, her anguish hidden by the rain."
- Alberto Granado: Is that Lorca?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No.
- Alberto Granado: Neruda?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No.
- Alberto Granado: Who?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: I don't remember.
- Alberto Granado: It is rumored that Chilean girls are the most daring on the continent.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Rumors have no scientific value, Dr. Granado. Time to do some research.
- Alberto Granado: We land on the Guajira Peninsula. The tip of a great continent. Bellies full of wine and two tropical beauties, hopefully sisters.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: That's good beer, huh?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: All you want is to get laid in every country in South America.
- Alberto Granado: In every town too, if we're lucky. Adds a little spice.
- Alberto Granado: So, when's the revolution coming?
- Argentine: Here? In about a century.
- Alberto Granado: We gotta learn from the Russians.
- Alberto Granado: So with Chichina - nothing? Even after you gave her a pure-bred German Shepard, nothing? At least tell me you saw one tit. One little tit. Ah, you saw her titties then. Alright, my man!
- Jazmin, Chilean Sister: Are you two Argentinian?
- Alberto Granado: How'd you know?
- Jazmin, Chilean Sister: Well, because of your accent, because Argentinians always say "che".
- Alberto Granado: Had you noticed, Che?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Not at all, Che.
- Alberto Granado: Fuser, you still haven't asked about the research I did on our Chilean sisters.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: You can't imagine how depressed I am that you're the sexual ambassador of Argentina!
- Alberto Granado: It's true.
- Truck Driver (Chile): There she is, Valparaíso.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: "I love Valparaíso, all you encompass, all you radiate, lover of the ocean, far from - "
- Alberto Granado: Federico García Lorca.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No.
- Truck Driver (Chile): Neruda!
- Miner (Chile): We didn't have much, just some tough, dry land.
- Miner's Wife: It belonged to his grandpa.
- Miner (Chile): It was ours. Until a land speculator forced us off.
- Miner's Wife: That's what they call progress.
- Miner (Chile): So we had to leave our son with family and hit the road, looking for work, trying to escape from the police who wanted to put us in jail.
- Alberto Granado: Why?
- Miner's Wife: Because we are communists.
- Alberto Granado: Fuser, here's my idea; I'll marry an Inca descendant. We'll start an indigenous party under these conditions: we'd encourage the people to vote, reactivate Tupac Amaru's revolution, the Indo-American revolution, Fuser. How's that sound?
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: A revolution without guns? It would never work.
- Luz (Peru): You know a little while ago there was a bufeo out there.
- Alberto Granado: Bufeo?
- Luz (Peru): They're river dolphins but we call them bufeos. Have you ever seen one?
- Alberto Granado: Never. I've heard of them, but I've never seen one.
- Luz (Peru): I'm going to tell you a secret.
- Alberto Granado: Okay.
- Luz (Peru): The bufeo's sex organs are like that of a woman's and the Indians use them to - comfort themselves. But there's a little problem. As soon as they're done, they have to kill the animal because they suffer contractions that won't let them loose.
- [laughs]
- Alberto Granado: Ernesto, This is Luz...
- Luz (Peru): Hola!
- Alberto Granado: Which means "light". "Electrifying light that dazzles my dreams. Get ready, you've no clue what's coming to you."
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Neruda?
- Alberto Granado: Granado!
- Alberto Granado: I think there's a young lady interested in dancing with you.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: I should ask her, right?
- Alberto Granado: The bird of youth flies away and doesn't come back, man. Fly, man, fly!
- Alberto Granado: Che.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: What?
- Alberto Granado: It's not too late to come work with me in Cabo Blanco. You could come back after you graduate. I'll wait for you.
- Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: I don't know. I just don't know. You know, Mial, all this time we spent on the road, something happened. Something I'll have to think about for a long time. So much injustice.
