The Mask of Zorro quotes

Page 1 of 2

Here. This is the canyon. That is where the mine is. They have 20… 30 guards at most. Nothing that Zorro can't overcome.

I'm not going with you. Alejandro looks at him confused I'm not going with you. There's something I must do. It’s a personal matter.

And the prisoners?

There's nothing more I can do.

Nothing you will do?

I gave my life to them. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was raised by my mortal enemy.

Montero? Elena... She's your daughter!

She was.

So, you will simply take your revenge.

No, my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you.

She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings. Was that all a lie?

You are too young to understand.

To understand what? Betrayal? All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what? To smile in the face of my brother’s killer while you make your own plans?

I taught you everything you need to survive. Now I must look to my own heart. Elena is all I have left. I am not going to lose her again.

What about California? What about the people?

They still have Zorro.

I miss my brother, sir.

Your brother is dead. We lose the ones we love; we cannot change it. Put it aside.

How? How can I do what is needed, when all I feel is... hate.

You hide it. With this.

I would have killed him.

No, not today. He is trained to kill. You seem trained to drink. Oh yes, my friend, you would have fought very bravely, and died very quickly. Who then would avenge your brother?

I would have found a way. I've never lost a fight.

Except to a crippled old man just now.

Look at me. I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done.

I doubt that.

We'll never get away with this.

Yes we will. A nobleman is nothing but a man who says one thing and thinks another.

You have passion Alejandro, and you skill is growing. But to enter Montero's world, I must give you something which is completely beyond your reach.

Ah, yes? And what is that?

Charm.

Don Rafael

Did you send men to the hills? Double the guard at the walls?

Yes, yes, of course. After all, it's only one man...

Don Rafael

It isn't just "one man", damn it! It's Zorro!

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.

Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, pleace.

What?

I mean, go on my child.

I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.

You killed somebody?

No, that is not the fourth commandment.

Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?

I dishonored my father.

That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.

Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.

Excuse me?

Listen, señorita… Please, go on.

I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.

You killed somebody?

No, that is not the fourth commandment.

Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?

I dishonored my father.

That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.

What did you say?

I said, tell me more, my child.

Well, I try to behave properly, the way my father would like me to. But I’m afraid my heart is too wild.

Too wild?

Yes.

Could you be… a little more specific?

I had impure thoughts about a man.

Uh huh.

I did- I think he was a bandit or something. He wore a black mask.

He had a deep voice.

Yes.

Ruggedly handsome?

I do not know, his face was half covered. But something in his eyes captured me.

Captured you?

I felt warm and feverish.

Lustful?

Yes, lustful… forgive me.

I forgive you.

Soldier

Look over there, by the altar!

Search everything! The chapel, the loft, the rectory, all of it.

Priest

This is a house of God.

Don’t worry Padre, we’ll be gone by the time he gets back.

Señorita, you have done nothing wrong. The only sin would be to deny what your heart truly feels. Now go.

Soldier

Hey... I thought you were tied up.

JoaquĆ­n

That is because you are stupid.
