"But whatever happens, you have aroused people." "You've made them get passionate about their ideals." "There's not another painter in the world who can say that." "He could walk in here tomorrow and tear it down." "You'd still have won." "Ah, maybe." "He doesn't have the balls." "[Crowd shouting]" "Diego!" "Seòor Rivera."

"Then why is it such a small bridge?" "[All laugh]" "[Mexican music plays]" "He's not working." "He's sick." "He's depressed." "He says the people in this country are like mules they're so stupid."
