Zorro

Ship's Captain: [after being disarmed] Well done, Signor De la Vega! I shall miss these daily bouts. Don Diego de la Vega: I too, sir. They have made a long voyage most enjoyable. Captain: Your agility with the sword, sir, should serve you well in California. Don Diego: Why do you say that? Captain: How long have you been away? Don Diego: Three years. Captain: I am afraid you're going to find conditions quite changed when you reach Los Angeles. Everything is rules and regulations. Military force has taken over. Don Diego: Well, when did all this happen? Captain: A year ago when the new comandante was appointed. I hate to disillusioned you, but I have the feeling that you will soon wish you had stayed in Spain. Don Diego: Is it as bad as that? Captain: Worse. But you will see for yourself.

Elena Torres: Don Diego? Don Diego: Elena, is it not? Elena Torres: Yes. Don Diego: I hardly recognized you. It seems that we have both changed. I have grown older and you more beautiful. Elena Torres: Will you come in? Don Diego: I only have a moment. I came about your father.
