• [Alejandro compliments Nick on his drug cutting technique] 

  Alejandro : Nice technique.

  Nick Clark : I have a limited, but refined skill set.

• [Nick tells Alejandro that you don't survive a bite from the dead] 

  Nick Clark : You don't survive a bite.

  Alejandro : Oh, you don't believe I was bitten?

  Nick Clark : Um... I don't believe in miracles.

  Alejandro : Miracle is your word.

  Nick Clark : What would you call it?

  Alejandro : A leap of faith.

  Nick Clark : Yeah, I have trouble with those, too.

• [Alejandro tells Nick the story about when he was bitten by the dead] 

  Alejandro : Nick. There was a boy no older than you. He lived in these streets. An addict. And he tried to steal from me many times. When the world changed, this boy got his hands on something. Something mean. To this day I have no idea what drug he took, but he was mistaken for a sombra. A mob attacked him, herded him with the other infected. They were killing them. So I rushed in, I tried to save him. There were limbs, jaws, blood. It was chaos. And in this moment as I was beaten by the living, I was bitten by the dead. A hand found me and I saw Luciana. She brought me back here. We waited for death to come.

  Nick Clark : But it didn't?

  Alejandro : No.

  Nick Clark : You just healed?

  Alejandro : Yes.

  Nick Clark : What happened to the boy?

  Alejandro : They killed him.

• [Alejandro tells Nick that he wants him to make it back to the Colonia] 

  Alejandro : You believe you're safe amongst them. You may be right. But you're never safe with the Marcos of the world, the men with guns. But you still like being out there. You're desperate for it and that scares me for you.

  Nick Clark : Why? You sound like my mother.

  Alejandro : I'm trying to be anything but. I'm not asking you not to go. I need you to go. Everyone here needs you to go. I'm asking you to be careful. Brave but careful. 'Cause I want you to come back.

  Nick Clark : Well, thank you.

  Alejandro : For what?

  Nick Clark : For giving a shit.

• [Alejandro compliments Nick on his survival skills] 

  Alejandro : Luciana tells me you did as we discussed. You were cautious at the Pelicano.

  Nick Clark : Man, I was more than cautious. I was respectful to those pricks. I kissed ass. Called them señor. Cut my balls off.

  Alejandro : Better your balls than your head. You were surviving.

  Nick Clark : Surviving feels like eating shit.

  Alejandro : [Alejandro smiles]  You'll get used to it.

• [Alejandro walks Nick into his new home at the Colonia] 

  Nick Clark : Don't need all this.

  Alejandro : You deserve it. You've given the colonia a gift. You bought us time.

  Nick Clark : I just cut some pills.

  Alejandro : [Alejandro smiles]  It was more than that.
