Quotes 

• Salomón : And the camera?

  Torcuato : In my hand.

  Salomón : Do you have film?

  Torcuato : Three or four rolls.

  Salomón : I mean the other film. The colored film.

  Torcuato : Ah, um... I'm missing the green one... Make it green enough.

  Salomón : [Gives him blue banknotes]  You'll have to settle for blue film.

  Torcuato : Blue has little sensitivity. I will do what i can.

• Salomón : [disguised as a nurse]  Did you have mumps when you were little?

  Mestizo : I have never been little.

• Salomón : [Salomón, doubting about his fiancé, has Abelardo tailing her]  When she's with me, you show up, and when I'm not there, where are you?

  Abelardo : With her.

  Salomón : [angrily]  With her?

  Abelardo : I mean f-following her, man, don't be so suspicious.

  Salomón : Be careful, Abelardo, or I'm giving you a detective!

• Salomón : Don't worry. Sagacity, prudence and discretion is our motto.

  Torcuato : That's why we're so famous.

• Salomón : [disguised as a nurse]  That face...

  Mestizo : What is wrong with my face?

  Salomón : I don't like at all.

  Mestizo : Me neither.

• Salomón : You're not being serious.

  Comisario Montero : But how can one be serious with some guys who had their client killed, and then his body stolen?

• Torcuato : Leave me alone!

  Salomón : [Removes fake beard]  It's me, you idiot! I am disguised as a Coca-Cola salesman!

  Torcuato : Again? Why do you always dress up without letting me know?

• Salomón : The only thing that is clear is that the guy with the glasses is the culprit.

  [He stumbles over the corpse of the guy with the glasses] 

• Salomón : But what are you saying? Everything is so obvious! The guy with the glasses is the one who murdered Don Gregorio.

  Torcuato : Sure. First he steals money from him, and then he dispatches him, to have a free way.

  Salomón : And since everyone knows that he was his trusted man, who is going to suspect him?

  Torcuato : A great alibi.

  Salomón : And a perfect crime!

  Comisario Montero : So, if everything is that perfect, what the hell does the murderer want with the corpse?

  Salomón : Ah, that! That... That... That complicates everything.

• Kid : [Sees Salomón in disguise]  Look, dad, a detective.

  Salomón : Shut up, kid!
