Frida

David Siqueiros:
I'd rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend.

Frida Kahlo:
What do you think matters most for a good marriage?

Guillermo Kahlo:
A short memory.

Frida Kahlo:
Why did you get married?

Guillermo Kahlo:
I can't remember.

Frida Kahlo:
I had two big accidents in my life Diego, the trolley and You... You are by far the worst

Diego Rivera:
Sex is like pissing. People take it much too seriously.

Frida Kahlo:
I'm just keeping you honest, panzon.

Frida Kahlo:
Did I tell you that I'm going to walk again.

Alex:
Yes...

Frida Kahlo:
Did you believe it?

Alex:
Of course I do.

Frida Kahlo:
You'd better, because you are going to miss it.

Frida Kahlo:
If I'm not good enough, I have to do something else to help my parents.

Diego Rivera:
Thank you.

Frida Kahlo:
For what?

Diego Rivera:
For making a fat, old, crazy Communist a happy man.

Diego Rivera:
It was just a f***. I've given more affection in a handshake.

Diego Rivera:
I'm physiologically incapable of fidelity.

Frida Kahlo:
They say never trust a limping dog or the tears of a woman.

Frida Kahlo:
You've been my comrade, my fellow artist, and my best friend, but you've never been my husband.

Frida Kahlo:
At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.

Diego Rivera:
There was this skinny kid, with eyebrows, shouting out at me. Diego, I want to show you my paintings. But of course she made me come down, and I did, and I never stopped looking. But I want to talk about Frida, not as her husband but as an artist... an admirer. Her work is acid and tender, hard as steel and fine as a butterfly's wing, loveable as a smile and cruel as the bitterness of life. I don't believe that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.

Frida Kahlo:
I love a man with melones that are bigger than mine.

Diego Rivera:
And I love a woman with cajones.

Nelson Rockefeller:
Señor Rivera, I must ask you one last time to reconsider your position.

Diego Rivera:
I will not compromise my vision.

Nelson Rockefeller:
In that case, this is your fee, paid in full, as agreed, but your services are no longer required.

Diego Rivera:
It's my painting!

Nelson Rockefeller:
On my wall.

Diego Rivera:
It's the people's wall, you bastard!

Frida Kahlo:
Careful, guys. This corpse is still breathing. Try to get me there in one piece.

Frida Kahlo:
Happy silver.

Diego Rivera:
It's not for two more weeks.

Frida Kahlo:
Seventeen days.

Tina Modotti:
I don't believe in marriage.

Tina Modotti:
No, I really don't. Let me be clear about that. I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other. But, but, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic. To Diego and Frida.
