- Ana: [unable to sleep] Isabel?
- Isabel: [opening her eyes] What?
- Ana: [whispering] Tell me what you were going to tell me.
- Isabel: [whispering] About what?
- Ana: The movie.
- Isabel: Not now... Tomorrow.
- Ana: Now... You promised. Why did he kill the girl, and why did they kill him after that?... You don't know - you're a liar.
- Isabel: They didn't kill him, and he didn't kill the girl.
- Ana: How do you know? How do you know they didn't die?
- Isabel: Everything in the movies is fake. It's all a trick. Besides, I've seen him alive.
- Ana: Where?
- Isabel: In a place I know near the village. People can't see him. He only comes out at night.
- Ana: Is he a ghost?
- Isabel: No, he's a spirit.
- Isabel: Like the spirit Dona Lucia talks about?
- Isabel: Yes, but spirits have no bodies. That's why you can't kill them.
- Ana: But he had one in the movie. He had arms and feet. He had everything.
- Isabel: It's a disguise they put on when they go outside...
- Ana: If he only comes out at night, how can you talk to him?
- Isabel: I told you he was a spirit. If you're his friend, you can talk to him whenever you want. Just close your eyes and call him... It's me, Ana... It's me Ana...
- [they hear what sounds like ominous footsteps and are silent]
- Isabel: Papa, have you ever picked a bad mushroom?
- Fernando: No. You know why?
- Isabel: Why?
- Fernando: Because I always do like my grandfather told me.
- [he gets up and starts to walk; the girls follow]
- Fernando: If you're not sure a mushroom's good, don't pick it. Because if it's bad, and you eat it, it's your last mushroom and your last everything too.
- Fernando: Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where would we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars? Or to know what causes the trees to bud or what changes darkness into light? But if you talk like that people call you crazy.
