Rafael Baledón: Carlos Rivas

Quotes 

• Carlos Rivas : [pulls out a map]  Here's Mexico City. Excuse me. Here's the highway to Cuernavaca. Continuing along, here's a detour -- Take a look. A detour here, then a left turn, then to the right. It's on the corner of Carnation Street and Flower Drive.

  Alicia Conejo : How beautiful! And I love flowers.

• Carlos Rivas : Why do you close your eyes?

  Alicia Conejo : That way I can see it all clearly. Try it.

• Carlos Rivas : Promise me one thing. You'll marry me, no matter what.

  Alicia Conejo : It would take a priests' strike to stop me.

• Quico Posada : I fall in love two or three times a year. I enjoy it, until it passes. Love's like a cold. You'll soon get over it.

  Carlos Rivas : That's a lovely comparison.

  Quico Posada : But it's true. Love is a cold that afflicts the heart. It isn't serious, but some women want the cold to last a lifetime.

  Carlos Rivas : It's only natural, right?

  Quico Posada : No, sir. What's natural is what I've always believed. The heart is entitled to as many colds as there are noses!

• Carlos Rivas : Where there's love, there's harmony.

• Alicia Conejo : It was silly. You forgive me, don't you?

  Carlos Rivas : Forgive me. It was my fault.

  Carlos Rivas : Listen, it was my fault.

  Alicia Conejo : It's so nice that we always agree.

• Alicia Conejo : Let's buy one of those little love seats that only fit two people, cozily squashed together.

  Carlos Rivas : What for?

  Alicia Conejo : Why, to sit close together.

  Carlos Rivas : When we're married, you'll sit on my lap, even closer.

• Carlos Rivas : This will be Alicia's sewing room.

  Alicia Conejo : No. We agreed it'd be your office.

  Señora Conejo : Office?

  Carlos Rivas : No, ma'am, sewing room.

  Señora Conejo : An office in a house!

  Alicia Conejo : But sometimes Carlos will have to work at home.

  Señor Conejo : Of course!

  Señora Conejo : What do you know? It's a woman's issue. When do you do anything at home?

  Señor Conejo : You don't think I do enough at home? I'm not even counting our firstborn!

  Señora Conejo : We weren't discussing that! Besides, you don't need an office for that!

• Carlos Rivas : She only speaks one language. She's only an average dancer. She doesn't play any instrument, nor can she read music. I've only seen her play marbles with her brothers and sisters, and sometimes the National Lottery with me. But she sews very well.

• Alicia Conejo : I've got the perfect parents. There's nobody like them. I hope you'll be like my father. You'll try, won't you?

  Carlos Rivas : I'll do my best.

  Alicia Conejo : And I'll do my best to be like Mother. I promise.
