Antonio Banderas Monologues

You killed somebody?

Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments.

Look at me, I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done.

Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.

You were trying; she was succeeding. Forgive me, Captain Love. A shameless joke at your expense… and I hope it won't be the last.

And so it was. Lighting split the sky, thunder shook the earth, and then all was quiet. The great warrior known as Zorro was gone. The people of the land gave him a hero's funeral, the largest anyone had ever seen. They came from far and wide to say farewell to their brave and noble champion. But don't worry, little Joaquin. Whenever great deeds are remembered, your grandfather will live on. For there must always, always be a Zorro. And some day, when he's needed, we will see him again... on his fearsome steed Tornado, riding like the wind, his sword blazing in the sun... leaping, jumping, swinging through the air... fighting like a lion. Fighting like a tiger. Fighting... ... as safely as possible.

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?

He has been many different men, but he has loved you as all of them.

All that shooting guns, racing around on horses - gives me a frightful headache. It's hardly the work of a gentleman.

No, but increasing one's holdings so as to provide comfort to ladies. Such as yourself.
