  Don Alejandro de la Vega : Well, now you have them, *princess*.

• Frey Felipe : Do you want her back?

  Elena : Never a good sign.

• Elena : You should see New York, Alejandro. It's as if the whole world has moved onto one tiny island.

  Elena : I hope you and Tornado are very happy together.

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : We will be.

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : It seems that's not all we have shared, eh?

• Don Alejandro de la Vega : Since when do politics bore you, huh?

  Elena : Since when did you start caring what I think?

• Elena : If you didn't know me better than that, then you never knew me at all.

• Elena : Is there anything I can say that would make you leave?

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : Fall to your knees and beg me to take you back.

• Elena : I hope I do not repulse you with my unladylike habit.

  Armand : No, no. On the contrary, you fascinate me.

• Elena : If you truly want to impress me, invite me over for dinner tonight. Cook me something sinful.

• Elena : I said that to get rid of him so I can get rid of *you*.

• Elena : How do you know this?

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : Oh, no, no, no, no. I won't tell you until you tell me what you know. Because, if you wanna know what I know, I need to know why you are living in sin with an evil Count!

• Armand : Elena. I want to ask you something. Something I should have asked you many years ago.

  Elena : Before you do, my love, answer me one question.

  Armand : Whatever your heart desires.

  Elena : Where is the bathroom?

• Armand : Is that a yes?

  Elena : It's a definite maybe.

• Elena : Forgive me, Armand. I just had the sudden urge to step out for a puff.

• Elena : It's all right, my darling. I forgive you.

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : You forgive me? No, no, no. I forgive you. You!

  Elena : For what?

• Elena : I would not be in this mess if you had kept your mask on.

• Armand : You've become nothing more than a common woman, devoted to a common man.

  Elena : I take that as a compliment.

• Frey Felipe : Do you want her back?

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : Of course I want her back.

  Frey Felipe : And you take him?

  Elena : If I must.

• [last lines] 

  Don Alejandro de la Vega : Don't wait up.

  Elena : Never.
