Quotes 

• Carlos Conde; Doctor : [Seeing a box of drugs]  You kept that here?

  Edmundo Nobile : Every now and then we used to meet in this room - just friends - passing unforgetable hours together.

  Carlos Conde; Doctor : Why didn't you show it to me?

  Edmundo Nobile : I was frightened that the world would find out about it.

  Carlos Conde; Doctor : What was used for pleasure can now be used to relieve pain.

• Edmundo Nobile : I love the spontaneity of this situation. If you'd like to spend the night, we'll make up as many rooms as needed. I'm pleased to see the old spirit of improvisation is alive and well.

• Edmundo Nobile : Late? This is the most intimate and pleasant hour of the whole evening.

• Edmundo Nobile : I'm confused. What's going on here? I don't know how we got to this point, but there's a limit to everything.

  Lucía de Nobile : What can I say? For now we have to offer them breakfast. I'm sure they'll go home after that.

  Edmundo Nobile : Of course. I trust in their discretion.

• Raúl : You led us into this trap. You made us the butt of this cruel joke.

  Edmundo Nobile : I have, my friend? By inviting you to dinner? By opening my doors to you?

  Raúl : Exactly. You called us one by one to come for dinner after the opera. Such a cordial invitation. "I'd be honored if you would..." et cetera. We could have been sound asleep at home or in some brothel, instead of here.

• Edmundo Nobile : Everything was perfect, Lucia, despite - at this hour even lipstick begins to fade.

• Lucía de Nobile : Aren't they going a bit far, taking off their tuxedo jackets?

  Edmundo Nobile : Don't forget Leandro lives in the United States. Besides, this is the time when the body's most relaxed, and with the pleasant temperature in here...

  Lucía de Nobile : I'm sure they'll feel ashamed when they look back on their behavior.
