- Andres Felipe Basilio: You did not know about this treasonable traffic, did you? Otherwise *you* would be guilty of treason yourself.
- Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia: All right, then I am guilty! Because I knew of it.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: Knew about it! Do you realize what you're saying?
- Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia: Si. Even the governor and the viceroy, they know that we trade with other ships that come to California. It is a common practice.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: Are you confessing to treason in open court?
- Zorro: They tell me, your excellency, that confession is good for the soul.
- Zorro: [after slicing off Basilio's coat and vest and cutting on of his suspenders] For the sake of modesty, senior, we will assume the pants were made in Spain.
- Andres Felipe Basilio: Whatever may be my feelings on the matter, there is only one course that I may follow. The law has been violated and the law must be satisfied!
- Don Alejandro: [asside to Diego] It would not surprise me if he started to cry.
