Queen of Swords2000

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
I'm sending a message back to Spain. Once they learn what is happening here in California...

Marta:
They don't already know? Spain is still recovering from the wounds left by Napoleon. She doesn't care about some primitive outpost.

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
And the ones who could help - the Dons - they do nothing... growing fat while their people starve.

Marta:
You expect them to be different?

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
My father was.

Marta:
And he died.
