- Camilo Belmonte: Shoot if you want, but your friend will be the first one to die. One for the other.
- Elsa Fernández Campos: [handing Jacques a letter of resignation] I visited the domestic violence court, and they've told me how hard the sentences are for re-offending abusers.
- Jacques Noiret: So, you're going to report me to them.

- Jacques Noiret: Blackmail.
- Elsa Fernández Campos: Take it this way: You're escaping a long jail term, and the boarding school gets its old headmaster back.
- Jacques Noiret: [smirks] So you're not capable of taking care of a six-month-old baby that I put into your hands, but you feel capable of running a school with four hundred students.
- Elsa Fernández Campos: Much more capable than an abuser who can't keep his violent impulses under control, and whose only personal achievement consists of destroying his son's life.
