Dialogue edit
- Teresa Alvarez: Caviar? Aren't you overdoing it a bit, Hank?
- Hank Scott: Well, I've got to make an impression on you in 48 hours that'll last for two months. What's the matter, don't you like caviar?
- Teresa Alvarez: Oh, I love it, but, I must say, I could never understand why it's so expensive!
- Hank Scott: Well, it's a whole year's work for a sturgeon.
- Hank Scott: One question, doctor...
- Dr. Velazco: I hope I can answer it.
- Hank Scott: Well, the alcohol, the distilled water, the salt solution - I can understand that, but what's the tequila for?
- Dr. Velazco: Well, in your country I believe they call it a coffee break.
- Hank Scott: [after watching two scorpions fight] That's how they kill each other - that weak spot in the throat!
- Artur Ramos: It must be it!
