Did You Know?
| Trivia | Loosely based on actual events which occurred in Mexico in 1989. A group of "narcosatanicos" were discovered to have killed at least 20 people and used their body parts in ritual sacrifices. Cult members lead by Adolfo Constanzo and Sara Aldrete were responsible for the abduction and murder of Mark Kilroy, a Texan pre-med student who disappeared in March 1989 during a spring break in Mexico.

Drunk Man in Strip Club:
Hey, wait a minute. This is for you. $400. But you already know that. I'm talking to you! Valeria: Let me go! [Valeria slaps him] Drunk Man in Strip Club: Fucking bitch! Ed: Why don't you chill, man? She's no pro. Valeria: It's okay. I can handle it. It's okay. Drunk Man in Strip Club: This dickless faggot more your type, Valeria? Valeria: Fuck off, Gilberto. Drunk Man in Strip Club: You think you have the balls for this girl? I ask you something. You deaf? Ed: What the fuck's your problem, man? Ed: [pulls out a knife and cuts Ed] oh shit! [Valeria gets a bat and hits Drunk Man in the head and knocks him out] Valeria: [Valeria now tends to Ed's wound in the back of the bar] That was pretty stupid. At least now you have a great story to tell your friends. Ed: What? That I got my ass kicked? Valeria: No. How you came to the aid of a poor and defenseless woman. Ed: Yeah, right. If it ever gets boring around here, you could bat cleanup for the Astros. Valeria: You know, my ex-husband, he hated the fact that I could handle myself. Ed: Let me guess. That's why he's your ex. Valeria: I left him and I moved here to Manzanita. Ed: Can I buy you a drink later? Valeria: So you're not afraid of strong woman? Ed: Only if she's not swinging a bat at me. See more » |
