-

Elena Benedetti: A really great fuck? You didn't even stick it in! You've got a lot to learn!

Víctor Plaza: Can you remember the model and color?
Clara: Come on, I'm not that loopy!
-
Víctor Plaza: How was I?
Clara: I didn't even notice.
Víctor Plaza: I don't have much experience. Why don't you teach me?
Clara: You can't teach that.
Víctor Plaza: You can teach anything. And I learn fast. Real fast. I want to become the best lover in the world. Tell me things you like to do. What you think about when you masturbate. I"ve got time to learn.
Clara: You treated me like a hole.
Víctor Plaza: What a putdown!
Clara: First of all, don't dive at my pussy so fast.
Víctor Plaza: I mustn't dive at it.
Clara: Not to eat it.
Víctor Plaza: Not to eat it.
Clara: Or stick it in.
Víctor Plaza: Or stick it in.
Clara: You have to prepare it first. It'll tell you when it's ready.
Víctor Plaza: How will it tell me?
Clara: You'll notice. That's the first lesson. Making love involves two people.

Víctor Plaza: A ridiculous plan. Of all that happened that night, what hurt me most was that you insulted me and said I couldn't fuck. I swore I'd make you eat those words someday. Worst of all, it was true. So, I decided that when I got out of jail, I'd become the world's best lover. My plan was to spend a whole night with you. During the night, I'd fuck you non-stop, until I split you in two. I'd give you more pleasure than you'd ever dreamed of. And naturally, you would fall for me. But, I'd dump you, and I'd never go back to you, not even if you begged me. That was my revenge. That was my plan.

-
David: Who are you worried about, me or him?
Elena Benedetti: The three of us.
-
Sancho: No one ever owns his youth - or the women he loves.
