Quotes 

• Ana : Rosa, is it true that my mother always wore this cross?

  Rosa : Of course. Grandmother gave it to her. This cross keeps the devil away.

  Maite : And vampires too.

• Rosa : Your poor mother wanted to breastfeed you, but she was too pale and delicate. So I was the one who really nursed you.

  Ana : Did you breastfeed me?

  Rosa : Heavens, no. I gave you a bottle.

  Ana : You've got big breasts. Will you show me?

  Rosa : What do you think this is, a circus?

  Ana : Come on, show me! I'll close my eyes and count to five. One, two, three, four, five. They're so big!

  [proud, Rosa buttons up her blouse] 

• Rosa : Men are all the same, every one of them. You'll realize that when you're a woman. They all want the same thing. Heaven help you if you give in. Your father was awful that way. He chased women like mad. I had to run away from him more than once. I tell you, he had wandering hands. What stories I could tell about your father.

• Rosa : That woman who lived next door to me - I still laugh when I think about it - one day she suddenly realized she was three months' pregnant. You should have heard the commotion. Everyone kept asking who the father was, but she swore she hadn't slept with anybody. You understand what I'm talking about?

  Ana : I don't understand anything.

• Ana : Rosa, do babies have hair when they're born?

  Rosa : It depends. You know by the heartburn. With Jacinto I had the most horrible pains. If the mother has heartburn, the baby will have lots of hair.
