Biutiful quotes

  • Ana: Dad! How do you spell "beautiful"?

    Uxbal: Like that, like it sounds.

  • Marambra: [weeping] If I close my eyes then the thoughts start. They make me scared. I called you. I called you many times. I can't give the children what they need. I'm so sorry I was cruel to Mateo. I'm doing what I can to survive. I really want to be faithful to you, but I also like to have some fun... like a whore.

    Uxbal: Don't say that, Marambra. Forgive me. I've never known what I should give you; I still don't know. Something... I've never known. But we have hurt each other so much.

    Marambra: Take me with you on holiday again. At the clinic they have to restrain me...

    Uxbal: Calm down. Easy. It will be alright.
