Quotes 

• Agrado : Well, as I was saying, it costs a lot to be authentic, ma'am. And one can't be stingy with these things because you are more authentic the more you resemble what you've dreamed of being.

• Agrado : All I have that's real are my feelings and these pints of silicone that weigh a ton.

• Agrado : Just don't disappear again. I like to say good-bye to the people I love, even if it's only to cry my eyes out, bitch.

• Agrado : I look like the Elephant Man!

• Manuela : Do you have any alcohol?

  Agrado : No, I drank it all last night.

  Manuela : I meant for disinfecting.

• Manuela : Is that a real Chanel?

  Agrado : No! How could I buy a real Chanel with all the hunger in the world!

• Manuela : It's just a bit swollen.

  Agrado : A bit swollen? Where can I go with a mug like this?

  Manuela : Come and eat something.

  Agrado : Why did you go to all this trouble? Salad - how wonderful! Oh! It really hurts to chew! I won't be able to suck.

  Manuela : You shouldn't work today.

• Agrado : I always thought I could make it big in the Third World.

• Agrado : The street's getting worse here every day. The whores were bad enough, but the drag queens are wiping us out. I can't stand the drag queens. They're sleaze bags. They confuse transvestism with a circus. Worse, with mime! A woman is her hair, her nails, lips for sucking or for bitching. I mean, have you ever seen a bald woman? I can't stand them. They're all sleaze bags!

• Sister María Rosa Sanz : I doubt there are many drag queens in El Salvador; but, they're in the middle of a war.

  Agrado : Yeah? I didn't know that.

  Sister María Rosa Sanz : I'm replacing some nuns who were murdered.

  Agrado : I'm not sure what I need right now is a war.

• Agrado : Oh, what a surprise! Three single girls in an empty house always reminds me of "How To Marry A Millionaire."

• Manuela : Don't I look a bit of a slut in this suit?

  Agrado : All the better. These nuns only help whores and transvestites.

• Agrado : I took her in. She was in a bad way. As usual, with all the shit she takes. I came back from working the Field all night and she'd cleaned the place out. Watches, jewelry, '70s magazines that were my inspiration. 300,000 pesetas. What hurt most was she took a statue of the Virgin that my mother gave me. What for? She doesn't believe in anything! Unless she's in a satanic sect and wanted it for some ritual.

• Agrado : I feel so old, Manolita, and it isn't my age.

  Manuela : It's because of the beating.

  Agrado : The beating I've taken the last 40 years!

• Agrado : I'm a model of discretion, when I'm sucking someone's cock. I've sucked a lot of cocks in public places and no one's noticed, except the person involved.

  Huma Rojo : It's been ages since I sucked a cock.

• Huma Rojo : I think you're all bullshitters.

  Agrado : You have to get to know us.

• Agrado : The whole company is obsessed with my cock! It isn't the only one around. Don't you have a cock?

  Lola : Yes.

  Agrado : Do people ask you to suck their cocks because you've got one?

• Agrado : Know why they call me Agrado? I've always tried to make life agreeable for others.

• Agrado : To do that to me, with all she owes me! Since we met in Paris 20 years ago, I've been like a sister to her. We got our tits together.

• Nina : Haven't you ever thought of cutting it off?

  Agrado : I'd get no work. The clients like us pneumatic and well-hung.

  Nina : Rheumatic? Guys are so odd.

  Agrado : Not rheumtic. Pneumatic. A pair of tits as hard as newly inflated tires and a big dick as well.

• Mario : I didn't sleep very well last night. I've been on edge all day. Would you give me a blow job?

  Agrado : Can't you all get it into your heads that I'm retired?

• Huma Rojo : Can you drive?

  Agrado : Yes, I used to be a truck driver.

  Huma Rojo : Really?

  Agrado : In Paris, before I got my tits. Then I gave up the truck and became a whore.

• Nina : Will you show me your cock later?

  Agrado : I'll show it to you and you can lick it. Young people will try anything.
