• Manuela : Apart from the tits, the husband hadn't changed that much; so, she ended up accepting him. Women will do anything to avoid being alone.

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : Women are more tolerant, but that's good.

  Manuela : We're assholes and a bit lesbo.

• Sister María Rosa Sanz : Why do you dislike Lola so much?

  Manuela : Lola's got the worst of a man and the worst of a woman.

• Sister María Rosa Sanz : I doubt there are many drag queens in El Salvador; but, they're in the middle of a war.

  Agrado : Yeah? I didn't know that.

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : I'm replacing some nuns who were murdered.

  Agrado : I'm not sure what I need right now is a war.

• Manuela : I'll tell you a story. I had a friend who got married very young. After a year, her husband went to work in Paris and he was to call her when he got settled. Two years passed. The husband saved some money and came to Barcelona to open a bar. She came here to join him. Two years isn't a long time, but the husband had changed.

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : He didn't love her anymore.

  Manuela : The change was more physical. He'd gotten a pair of tits that were bigger than hers.

• Madre de Rosa : How dare you bring a whore here!

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : It isn't easy to find help who'll put up with you.

  Madre de Rosa : But a whore!

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : That's no reason to be so rude.

  Madre de Rosa : I don't like strangers to see me forging Chagalls.

• Sister María Rosa Sanz : I'm sorry about my mother. I'm sorry.
