"I will not get into the game of these fucking fascists." "I'll be their worst nightmare." "For this, I have to be a popular giant." "You can not do that." " I already did." " You can not do that." "Will you say that you used this chase as an excuse" "To become a saint." "That we were never repressed." "That we like to live and suffer." "But they're really killing us." "See, I ask you to be a little more humble." "Good luck on your trip." ""What's the matter with you?"" " As well?" "Do you know what to do with your life?" "Delia, please." " People will notice." ""Realize what?"" "That the artist here is me." " No, the artist is me!" " It's me." " The artist here is me!" ""You are nothing, Pablo." "What's the story of being a giant?"
