- Francisco Galván de Montemayor: Now tell me truth: what do you dislike about me?
- Gloria Vilalta: There's nothing l dislike about you.
- Francisco Galván de Montemayor: There must be something, nobody's perfect.
- Gloria Vilalta: Well, there's one thing: sometimes you're a bit unfair.
- Francisco Galván de Montemayor: Nonsense! I don't have that fault. Few men possess so keen a sense of justice as l.
- Padre Velasco: ls that all?
- Gloria Vilalta: Isn't it enough?
- Padre Velasco: What you said, just to think of it... should make you blush.
- Gloria Vilalta: l am blushing. But it's the truth.
- Padre Velasco: Truth colored by youthful imagination... I've known Francisco all his life. He holds no secrets from me. He's a man of faith, a perfect example for others... l speak as his confessor.
- Gloria Vilalta: Padre, l swear that...
- Padre Velasco: I'm not finished yet! He never knew a woman until you came along. So it's natural if you cause him resentment... You don't behave badly but...
- Gloria Vilalta: But what have l done?
- Padre Velasco: Nothing. Yet much. He opened his heart to me before you came. For instance... the way you danced the other night with the attorney. l mentioned it to your mother. Here's some advice...
- Gloria Vilalta: Thanks, Padre, but l don't need any.
- Doña Esperanza Vilalta: Gloria, let's have a little talk. Francisco has told me all that's happened since your marriage. He opened his heart to me.
- Gloria Vilalta: And?
- Doña Esperanza Vilalta: You ought to be more understanding!
- Gloria Vilalta: What did he tell you?
- Doña Esperanza Vilalta: The truth. He admitted his faults, but you have a few, too... and he understands them perfectly.
- Gloria Vilalta: And the insults? The viciousness? And this?
- Doña Esperanza Vilalta: Francisco is a jealous man. Sometimes he thinks you're wrong... and because he loves you so much, he tends to lose his temper.
- Gloria Vilalta: He deceived you, too.
- Doña Esperanza Vilalta: When a man talks with his heart, he cannot lie. Listen to a mother's advice... Be good to him, and everything will be fine again.
