  Districk Attorney at Prison : My good man, why do people like you come to the big city? and especially to the main capital of the republic? I'm not saying that you are living well in your land, but coming here is way worse! You people are farmers and in the asphalt and streets you cannot sow your crops! You are free now, but for how long? How long will it take before you are arrested and brought right back here? Think about it. Here, we are filled to capacity! Go back to your little town where you came from! Over there , you are somebody. Here, you are a nobody! The city can only mean hunger and pain and jail! You have now lived it and experienced it. You know I'm telling you the truth. Anyways, please think about it. really think about it. Go back to where you are from. To where you belong. With your people.You can keep the prison suit if you don't have any clothes.

  Tránsito Pérez 'El milusos' : I don't want to go. I don't want to leave!
