Natalio Curro: I understand Gallardo has one more contract to fulfill - the corrida next Sunday afternoon. I predict he will make his exit in a cloud of rotten oranges and dead cats. I hold him directly responsible for the death of Nacional, and I should say so in my article tomorrow. The trouble with Gallardo is he has cats in his belly. His father was the same way. Like father, like son.
Juan Gallardo: (after Gallardo overhears him) That's the second time you've said things about my father. As for you, you've probably never been baptized.
Juan Gallardo: [Gallardo pours a bottle of wine on his head] I'll baptize you now. I christen you liar, and your second name is swine!

Juan Gallardo: [to Antonio] Well, now as my manager it'll be much easier for you to rob me!

Juan Gallardo: [to Garabato] I wouldn't admit this to anybody else in the world... but always when I'm dressing like this... there's a feel of rust in my throat, the taste of death... Fear! But it's gone when I step into the arena. The minute I hear the music, the yell of the crowd, it's all right again.

Juan Gallardo: Carmen ceta, you're the only true one in the world.

Juan Gallardo: Someday I'll come back to you with a whole trunkful of clippings, and when you marry me, you'll marry the first torero of Spain, not the second or third, but the first, the greatest!

Juan Gallardo: They say that when a ship is sinking all the rats leave. Good-bye, rats!

Garabato: The bull is not the beast! Look at the crowd! That is the real beast!

Nacional: [dying in great pain] I've dragged myself through the blood and sand of a thousand arenas. In the end there's only one thing I regret - I never learned to read or write. I was obliged to renounce education... but I make the whole world responsible for my ignorance.

- John Carradine (as Nacional) in Blood and Sand (1941)

Nacional: But it isn't right for you to fill yourself with rum on the day of a corrida. You don't have to worry about the bulls this afternoon. We drew a couple of bravos.
Juan Gallardo: It's not the bulls - it's the crowds. They're waiting for me with claws.
Nacional: The crowd is forgetful, Juanillo, like a woman, and fickle like a woman, and cruel... like a woman.

Natalio Curro: [referring to Dona Sol at the arena] If this is death in the afternoon, she is death in the evening.
