• Ana : [unable to sleep]  Isabel?

  Isabel : [opening her eyes]  What?

  Ana : [whispering]  Tell me what you were going to tell me.

  Isabel : [whispering]  About what?

  Ana : The movie.

  Isabel : Not now... Tomorrow.

  Ana : Now... You promised. Why did he kill the girl, and why did they kill him after that?... You don't know - you're a liar.

  Isabel : They didn't kill him, and he didn't kill the girl.

  Ana : How do you know? How do you know they didn't die?

  Isabel : Everything in the movies is fake. It's all a trick. Besides, I've seen him alive.

  Ana : Where?

  Isabel : In a place I know near the village. People can't see him. He only comes out at night.

  Ana : Is he a ghost?

  Isabel : No, he's a spirit.

  Isabel : Like the spirit Dona Lucia talks about?

  Isabel : Yes, but spirits have no bodies. That's why you can't kill them.

  Ana : But he had one in the movie. He had arms and feet. He had everything.

  Isabel : It's a disguise they put on when they go outside...

  Ana : If he only comes out at night, how can you talk to him?

  Isabel : I told you he was a spirit. If you're his friend, you can talk to him whenever you want. Just close your eyes and call him... It's me, Ana... It's me Ana...

  [they hear what sounds like ominous footsteps and are silent] 

• Ana : Do you know what a spirit is? You don't, and I do.

  Teresa : A spirit is a spirit.

  Ana : Are they good or bad?

  Teresa : For good girls they are very good. For bad girls they are bad.

• Isabel : Take the brush and you wash your face with it. Then put soap on it.

  Ana : [lathers up her face]  Then I shave off all my little hairs?

  Isabel : [laughs]  Yes. Then when you're done you put on cologne.

• Ana : [about a mountain where a lot of mushrooms grow]  Why don't we go there?

  Fernando : It's too far, we would never make it with you weaklings. We will go sometime.
