- Steve Murphy: [as narrator] When you kill someone, you lose all your leverage the moment they're dead. Now, you take someone's children away from them, you'd be amazed what they'd do to get them back.
- César Gaviria: As a former president to a new one, what advice would you give?
- Julio Turbay: Well, you'll be asked to make many difficult decisions. I would say one thing: do what your wife says.
- César Gaviria: I always do.
- Gustavo Gaviria: Is that what you want, and civil war? You've gone crazy, asshole.
- Pablo Escobar: We have to fight, brother. Let's put their hearts into this. And if we all must die, so be it.
- Gustavo Gaviria: Well, yes... The thing is, I don't want to die yet, Pablo.
- Pablo Escobar: Nor do I.
- Pablo Escobar: I know every centimeter of these mountains. From here, we can see anything coming. And we have enough space to build whatever we want. We're going to design it... we're going to build it... and we will be protected from all our enemies.
- Gustavo Gaviria: You want to build a jail?
- Pablo Escobar: Not a jail, cousin. A castle.
- Horacio Carrillo: [indicating a haloed picture of their boss hanging on the wall] Look, man, Pablo's turned into a saint.
- Poison: Of course. He sends people straight to heaven.
- César Gaviria: Well... your government's research says... 660 tons of cocaine were consumed in the United States last year. Perhaps if your resources were focused at home, we'd all be better off.
