Álvarez, el enterrador : [subtitled version]
[José Luis has just mediated the fight between two men in the street]
Álvarez, el enterrador : What happened?

Álvarez, el enterrador : So?
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : Have you forgotten my new job?

Álvarez, el enterrador : [subtitled version] Did you see the executioner? They were paying him. How much you think he gets?
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : How would I know? Actually, he looks like a normal person. If we met in a café, I'd never suspect. I liked the guy.
Álvarez, el enterrador : Really?
[pointing at the coffin]
Álvarez, el enterrador : Ask this guy if he felt the same way.

Álvarez, el enterrador : [while Amadeo, José Luis, Carmen, Álvarez and his wife Ignacia are in a picnic in the country] We should come out here in the van every Sunday. It's delightful here.
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : Yes, but what about the duties...? Everybody who dies on Sunday should go to jail!

Amadeo, el verdugo : [subtitled version]
[while at a picnic in the country]
Amadeo, el verdugo : Young people today want to be free!
Álvarez, el enterrador : Of course.
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : Yeah, free to put up with my sister-in-law, the old bag!
Amadeo, el verdugo : Careful! A fellow poisoned his sister-in-law three years ago...
Álvarez, el enterrador : And you finished him off.
Amadeo, el verdugo : Of course.
Álvarez, el enterrador : Tell me about it.
Amadeo, el verdugo : But your wife...
Álvarez, el enterrador : Don't worry. She's out like a light. Now, about that guy...?
Amadeo, el verdugo : It didn't go smoothly.
Carmen, la hija de Amadeo : Father, we just ate!
Amadeo, el verdugo : [while he wraps a newspaper leaf] He had a neck like a bull. So the irons were too small.
Álvarez, el enterrador : That's for sure.
Amadeo, el verdugo : [putting the wrapped leaf onto Álvarez's neck] You have to put them... Lift your head up.

Álvarez, el enterrador : [subtitled version]
[José Luis and Álvarez get out of the bank in undertaker's uniforms. José Luis is yet an executioner]
Álvarez, el enterrador : Well, I guess I'm the dummy here.
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : Why?
Álvarez, el enterrador : You met Carmen because of me. Now you're living it up with an apartment, a motorcycle, and a plum job.
José Luis Rodríguez, el enterrador : You can apply too. There's an opening in Málaga.
