Nacha:
You will be so beautiful that the first boy who sees you will want to marry you.

Mamá Elena:
Nacha! Don't say that. As my youngest daughter, Tita will care for me until the day I die. She won't marry.

Pedro:
I'm a man of few, but firm, words.

Doctor John Brown:
I see you didn't touch your dinner. Sue Ellen is a horrible cook, but my son and I put up with her food. Of course, *you* don't have to.

Doctor John Brown:
My aunt is as deaf as a post.

Tita:
Then how can she carry on conversations?

Doctor John Brown:
She reads lips, but when she is eating, she is too preoccupied to notice anything else. Watch.

Doctor John Brown:
Tia Mary, I’m marrying Tita because the poor girl is crazy.

Gertrudis:
If you were still in love with Pedro, you wouldn't be marrying John.

Gertrudis:
Sergeant, can you cook cream fritters?

Sargento Treviño:
To be honest ... no. But if you want, I will try.

Gertrudis:
You have never let me down before. I hope this will not be the first time.

Sargento Treviño:
Yes, my general.

Rosaura:
I don't know where Gertrudis got her sense of rhythm. Mother didn't like to dance, and Dad was a bad dancer.
