Javier Botet: Alienígena 1

Quotes 

• Alienígena 1 : Do you have any special merit that you can claim in your favor? Something that speaks well of you humans?

  Capitán Valladares : [at a loss of words]  Oh, er... Querejeta?

  Querejeta : Well... We have magnificent works of art. We have built great cathedrals, composed sublime melodies and written some memorable books.

  Capitán Valladares : That's true. Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Maradona.

  Alienígena 1 : Who are all these people?

  Capitán Valladares : Great geniuses.

  Querejeta : And we have made colossal works of engineering, deciphered the genetic codes, created complex communication systems, proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...

  Alienígena 1 : Ah, perfect. But, you do share planet with other beings.

  Capitán Valladares : Well, there are animals too, of course.

  Alienígena 1 : And do you act on behalf of all of them?

  Capitán Valladares : [Querejeta giggles]  No, no, no, no, no. Animals do not matter. They have neither soul or intellect. Basically they come in handy as our food.

  Alienígena 1 : Do you devour your peers?

  Capitán Valladares : Sure. Are you vegetarians?

  Alienígena 1 : No, no! Vegetables are also living things. We feed on proteins of mineral origin.

  Querejeta : Then, you don't know what you are missing.
