Underestimating the Threat of Zorro

Confession and Humorous Interruption in Dialogue
Elena
Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.
Alejandro
Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.
Elena
Excuse me?
Alejandro
Listen, señorita… Please, go on.
Elena
I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.
Alejandro
You killed somebody?
Elena
No, that is not the fourth commandment.
Alejandro
Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?
Elena
I dishonored my father.
Alejandro
That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.
Elena
What did you say?
Alejandro
I said, tell me more, my child.
Elena
Well, I try to behave properly, the way my father would like me to. But I’m afraid my heart is too wild.
Alejandro
Too wild?
Elena
Yes.
Alejandro
Could you be… a little more specific?
Elena
I had impure thoughts about a man.
Alejandro
Uh huh.
Elena
I did- I think he was a bandit or something. He wore a black mask.
Alejandro
He had a deep voice.
Elena
Yes.
Alejandro
Ruggedly handsome?
Elena
I do not know, his face was half covered. But something in his eyes captured me.
Alejandro
Captured you?
Elena
I felt warm and feverish.
Alejandro
Lustful?
Elena
Yes, lustful… forgive me.
Alejandro
I forgive you.
Soldier
Look over there, by the altar!
Captain Love
Search everything! The chapel, the loft, the rectory, all of it.
Priest
This is a house of God.
Captain Love
Don’t worry Padre, we’ll be gone by the time he gets back.
Alejandro
Señorita, you have done nothing wrong. The only sin would be to deny what your heart truly feels. Now go.

Learning the Art of Combat
Don Diego
Do you know how to use that thing?
Alejandro

Don Diego
This is going to take a lot of work.
Alejandro
Captain Love-
Don Diego
There is nothing… outside of it. Captain Love does not exist until I say he exists. As your skill with the sword improves, you will progress to a smaller circle. With each new circle your world contracts, bring you that much closer to your adversary; that much closer to retribution.
Alejandro
I like that part.
Don Diego
Shall we?

The Nature of Nobility and Deception
Alejandro
Look at me. I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done.

Alejandro

Yes we will. A nobleman is nothing but a man who says one thing and thinks another.

You hide it. With this. (holding up the Zorro mask)

A Decision to Face Personal Challenges
Alejandro
Here. This is the canyon. That is where the mine is. They have 20… 30 guards at most. Nothing that Zorro can't overcome.
Don Diego
I'm not going with you. Alejandro looks at him confused I'm not going with you. There's something I must do. It’s a personal matter.
Alejandro
And the prisoners?
Don Diego
There's nothing more I can do.
Alejandro
Nothing you will do?
Don Diego
I gave my life to them. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was raised by my mortal enemy.
Alejandro
Montero? Elena... She's your daughter!
Don Diego
She was.
Alejandro
So, you will simply take your revenge.
Don Diego
No, my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you.
Alejandro
She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings. Was that all a lie?
Don Diego
You are too young to understand.
Alejandro
To understand what? Betrayal? All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what? To smile in the face of my brother’s killer while you make your own plans?
Don Diego
I taught you everything you need to survive. Now I must look to my own heart. Elena is all I have left. I am not going to lose her again.
Alejandro
What about California? What about the people?
Don Diego
They still have Zorro.

A Lesson on Strength and Strategy
Alejandro
I would have killed him.
Don Diego
No, not today. He is trained to kill. You seem trained to drink. Oh yes, my friend, you would have fought very bravely, and died very quickly. Who then would avenge your brother?
Alejandro
I would have found a way. I've never lost a fight.
Don Diego
Except to a crippled old man just now.
Alejandro
Alejandro.
Don Diego
Alejandro… you know, there is a saying, a very old saying: “When the pupil is ready, the master will appear.” Now if you want to kill this man, I can help you, and I can teach you how. How to move, how to think, how to take your revenge with honour- and live to celebrate it. It will take dedication; it will take time.
Alejandro
Why are you so eager to help me?
Don Diego
Because once, a long time ago, you did the same for me.

Weren't you the one chasing some legendary bandit recently?

So you caught him?

Alejandro
Well the bandit might have escaped. But we will all think twice… before going to confession.

Charm.
Alejandro
...And what is that?
