• Zolo : How will you die, Joan Wilder? Slow, like... a snail? Or fast, like a shooting star?

• Zolo : There are schedules to be maintained, even in Colombia.

• Zolo : Crocodiles shed tears when they eat their prey. You have heard of these tears I am sure. But have you seen them?

• Zolo : Don't I know you?

  Ralph : No comprendo.

  Zolo : You are an American?

  Ralph : [changing to French accent to hide his identity]  Uh, odio, er... ah... americanos, uh... I spit on 'em, ptuh! I hate americanos, they're scumo! Scum!

  Zolo : Êtes-vous français?

• [Zolo is interrogating Joan about El Corazon's whereabouts , threatening to feed her to the crocodiles by using her bleeding hand as a lure] 

  Jack Colton : Hey! Stop! Let her go! She is not telling you because she doesn't know where it is. *I've* got it.

  Zolo : Where is it?

  Jack Colton : [pause]  It's in a safe place.

  [Zolo motions to one of cronies, who hits Jack in the groin. There is a loud clang and Jack shakes the emerald down his pantleg. The emerald lands gently on Jack's foot] 

  Jack Colton : [coolly]  Choke on it.

  [Jack kicks up the stone into the air. Everyone watches El Corazon through the air in an impressive arch. Zolo catches the emerald before it falls into the water] 

  Zolo : [smiles]  Thank you!

  [a crocodile emerges and bites Zolo's hand] 

  Zolo : AAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

  [the crocodile proceeds to scissor off Zolo's hand, swallowing the stone with it, leaving a bloody stump behind. Zolo screams in agony as Jack, Joan, Elaine and Iran and Raph watch in shock and horror]
