When we reach the sea, we'll build a bigger boat, and with it we'll sail north and take Trinidad away from the Spanish Crown. From there we'll go on and take Mexico from Cortés. What a great betrayal that will be! We will then control all of New Spain and we will stage history as others stage plays. I, the Wrath of God, will marry my own daughter and with her found the purest dynasty ever known to man. Together we will rule the whole of this continent. I am the Wrath... the Wrath of God... Who else is with me?

Balthasar Once I was a prince, and men were forbidden to look on me. Now I am in chains.
Balthasar German dub: I was a prince in this country. Everyone else had to cast down their gaze before me, and no one dared look me in the eye. But now I am in chains, like my people. Now I must look at the ground.
Okello That is no ship. That is no forest. [Arrow hits him] That is no arrow. We just imagine the arrows because we fear them.
