- Catita: You don't have nothing to tell me!! I don't make nobody embarrased because I happen to have 'orbanity'.
- Dominguez: [correcting her] 'Urbanity'.
- Catita: You are not going to teach me lessons, Mr! I know perfectly well what 'urbanity' means and what 'orbanity' means!
- Dominguez: 'Orbanity' doesn't mean anything.
- Catita: I know that, too!
- Catita: [seeing her friend is writing a letter] Are you going to write?
- Graciela: Yes, to my parents. It's been a week since my last letter.
- Catita: I don't know why you still don't tell the truth to your ma and your pa. Some day they'll learn about everything.
- Graciela: I prefer they don't for as long as possible. They still believe I'm resting. If they knew there are days we barely manage to eat...
- Catita: How low have we downfell!! Do you remember about our dreams of dancing Sylphide and the Pizzicatto polka? Broken dreams, they call it!
- Graciela: [getting upset] Catita! For God's sake!!
- Catita: God! If you only had listened to me from the beggining!!
- Graciela: Listening you?
- Catita: Didn't I tell you to drop the dance career and to marry that Doctor?
- Graciela: You did?
- Catita: Well... I didn't but I thought about it, which is the same thing!
- Graciela: Please, stop teasing me!!
- Catita: Art!! What is it good for when you have no food to fill your abdomen??
- Graciela: That's the least of my worries now.
- Catita: What?? You tell me that when we both end up dying at the hospital!!
- Graciela: Stop it!! Stop it!! Don't say that!!!
- Catita: I just say it to give you some optimism!! If I don't do it you get all depressed!!
