    [Juan, playing dumb, shakes his head]

    Landowner on stagecoach: Heh. Do you know at least how old you are? Hm?

    [Juan shrugs]

    Landowner on stagecoach: He doesn't know. Do you know... how many kids you have, eh? Do you know... how many kids your mother had?

    [chuckles]

    Landowner on stagecoach: He doesn't know anything, you see? And it was to benefit scum like this that the Agrarian Reform was imposed. And that ass Madero wanted to give the government, and *our land*... to idiots like this.

    Priest: We are all pawns in the hands of Almighty God. Fortunately, Divine Providence has disposed of that rash individual Madero.

    Landowner on stagecoach: My dear Monsignor, let us be realistic. What you choose to call Providence... I call General Huerta. He put the peasants in their place.

    Notary on Stagecoach: Which is the best place for animals, because that's what they are... animals.

  • [Juan is confronting a landowner who mocked him about not knowing about his family]

    Juan Miranda: You wanted to know my family?

    [slaps him]

    Juan Miranda: That's my sons. Each one of them from a different mother, eh? And now, you kneel. Kneel. KNEEL!

    [forces him to his knees]

    Juan Miranda: Papa!

    [his father comes out of the stagecoach]

    Juan Miranda: This is my father, I think.

    Papa Miranda: [extends his hand to the landowner] Pleased to meet...

    Juan Miranda: [slaps it away] Go inside before Chulo kills everyone, eh? My mother had the blood of the Aztecs, which was before your people! And now I ask you a question: can you make a baby?

    [no response]

    Juan Miranda: Can you make a baby?

    [landowner shakes his head]

    Juan Miranda: That's sad. But we will fix that.
