Quotes
-
Lucky Day : You dirt-eating piece of slime! You scum-sucking pig! You son of a motherless goat!
-
Lucky Day : In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!
-
Lucky Day : Well, we're just gonna have to use our brains.
Ned Nederlander , Dusty Bottoms : Damn it!
-
Lucky Day : Oh, great. You killed the invisible swordsman!
Ned Nederlander : [runs over to check] He's dead, all right.
Dusty Bottoms : How was I supposed to know where he was?
Lucky Day : You were supposed to fire up. *We* both fired *up*.
[aside]
Lucky Day : It's like living with a six-year old.

Lucky Day : Reading telegram: "Three Amigos, Hollywood, California. You are very great. 100,000 pesos. Come to Santa Poco put on show, stop. The In-famous El Guapo."
Dusty Bottoms : What does that mean, in-famous?
Ned Nederlander : Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This man El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous.
Lucky Day : 100,000 pesos to perform with this El Guapo, who's probably the biggest actor to come out of Mexico!
Dusty Bottoms : Wow, in-famous? In-famous?
