Quotes 

• Pedro : I'm a death expert. I know an anarchist whose bombs didn't work. Mussolini, Hitler, Salazar. I've got failure after failure. These people have made a business out of death.

• Pedro : The more children you have, the faster the end will come.

  Francesco : In what sense? Exactly what do you mean?

  Pedro : In the year 1400, there were 500 million people on earth. By the year 1850, the amount had doubled to one billion. Now we're all extremely indignant because of the death of 20 million men. But in 200 or 300 years, there'll be a lot more of us, 30 billion more. So anywhere you go on earth will be worse than here. That's when men are going to butcher one another and murder an entire family for a piece of bread or an apple and the world will end.

• Pedro : I believe in man. But soon, very soon, a new man - a new man will be born. He'll have to be civilized. Not this beast who's been endowed with intelligence and obliterated the harmony in the world and brought about total destruction just by disturbing nature's equilibrium. A new man able to rediscover the harmony that's within.

  Francesco : You mean, put things in order?

  Pedro : Order? No, no, no, no, no. The orderly ones are the Germans. No. A new man in disorder is our only hope. A new man - in disorder.
