Sweet Hours (1982)

Álvaro de Luna: Tío

Quotes 

• Tío : The Germans are great! Its a hard working country like no other.

  Olga : Its foolish, don't they remember Napoleon?

  Tía : I don't know what Franco is waiting for. We need to finish off those criminals!

  Abuela : We've suffered enough with the Civil War! That's enough of wars.

  Juan : What's wrong with the Russians?

  Tía : They are Communist, therefore atheists. Plus they believe we descend from the monkeys. How ridiculous. How could humans descend from another animal?

  Abuela : Some people appear so.

• Abuela : That's enough. In this house it's prohibited to talk about politics, religion, and the other.

  Martita : What's the "other", Grandma?

  Abuela : You be quiet, girl.

  Juan : I already know what's the other.

  Tío : This one knows more of the "other" than us, right, Juanico? Some day we shall go for some whores.

  Abuela : What did you say?

  Tío : Nothing, just whores.

  Abuela : I won't talk to you until you clean your mouth!

  Tío : Whores. Whores. Whores...

• Tío : Impossible. He doesn't remember the text! We must forget we're acting. Some really forget. They can confuse reality with fiction.

• Tío : [at the bordello]  You know how it's done?

  Juanico : More or less. No.

  Tío : Amparo will teach you. You'll see how easy it is.

  [Amparo arrives] 

  Tío : My nephew Juanico. Fresh and young for you to take his virginity.

  Amparo : He is very young. Coming?

  [puts her arm around Juanico and escorts him to a room in the back]
