- Carmen Ramos: History vindicates us, and you know it.
- Lola Nevado: History vindicates no one. History's a deaf man answering questions he wasn't asked.
- Carmen Ramos: [to Lola Nevado] Remember: either God wants all evil to disappear but can't do it, which means He's weak. Or He can, but won't, which means He's evil. Or He can't and won't, so He's weak and evil, and therefore not God. Unde malum?
- [when Davenport and Marina D'Angelo meet to speak about the rebellion in hell]
- Davenport: The rich planned this for ages! They've created a world of puppets with TV and propaganda, a kind of evil Disneyland where men...
- Marina D'Angelo: [interrupting him] And women, Jack!
- Davenport: Sure, men and women. Where men and women are guiltless, and not responsible for their acts! I won't stand for it!

- Lola Nevado: When I'm out, I'll come visit you. Marina owes me a favor.
- Carmen Ramos: By then I'll be in Circle 10.
- Lola Nevado: So what?
- Carmen Ramos: I'll be a man at last. What if I'm not your type?
- Lola Nevado: Manny, listen, you can't go back to boxing.
- Manny: Yes, I can.
- Lola Nevado: If you do, I'm leaving.
- Manny: [pauses] Know what the ring is called where I come from? "The Stage of the Brave." When you're up there, you're somebody. Even if you lose, you're somebody. But when you win... when you win, you're a god. You can't understand that.
- Lola Nevado: Sure, I do... but you can get killed.
- Manny: So?... So what?
