• [last lines] 

  Hernando Cortez : Gentlemen, this time last year we were fighting mosquitos in swamps, accepting paltry gifts, and half-starving. But now we stand knocking at the very door of the great Emporer Moctezuma. We shall meet with His Majesty face-to-face - have done with ambassadors and specks of gold. This, gentlemen, is just the beginning!

• Hernando Cortez : Before this adventure is concluded, gentlemen, we will taste the joys of victory or the bitterness of defeat. Many will die in the days that lie ahead. But those who survive will one day return to their homeland, rich in wisdom and gold, exonerated by his majesty and forever secure in the knowledge that they had participated in the opening of a new world.
