Yeah, yeah. I get it. But why marriage, though? Can't we just, like, strike a deal or something?
Carlos Mendoza: grabs a bottle of whiskey and takes a swig Strike a deal? You think I'm running a goddamn poker game here? Marriage is the only way to bind us together.

Secure the future? That's a bit grandiose, don't ya think? What exactly are we securing?
Carlos Mendoza: laughs sarcastically Grandiose? You think I care about grandiosity? This marriage is about survival, amigo. In this world, alliances are everything.
Survival, huh? So what exactly are we surviving from?
Carlos Mendoza: pauses, scanning the surroundings You see, this city is a jungle. Different cartels vie for power, and betrayal is the only constant.
Alright, I'm starting to get the picture. We're in some deep shit, aren't we?

Carlos Mendoza: taps his foot impatiently Hurry up, my dear. Time is money in this world.
Rolls eyes I'm moving as fast as I can, Carlos. No need to get your panties in a twist.
