Guy named Rebenga, man. Emlio Rebenga.
Rebenga? Coño, man, I know that name.

{Manny and Tony watch Rebenga walk into the camp}
Castro just sprung him. This guy, man, he was one of the top dogs for Fidel in the early days. But Castro felt he couldn't trust him anymore, y'know, and threw him in jail. But while he was on top, he tortured a few guys to death. and one of the guy's brother is a rich guy in Miami now, and he wants the favor repaid. That's where we come in.
[The two watch Rebanga nervously puff on a cigarette as he walks by]
You tell your guys in Miami... your friend... it'd be a pleasure. I kill a Communist for fun, but for a Green Card, I gonna carve him up real nice.
