Narrator: Life is like the foam of the sea. You must dive into it.
Luisa: You have to make the clitoris your best friend.
Tenoch: What kind of friend is always hiding?
Luisa: Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea.
Luisa: Who cares who you two fucked when you come that fast.
Julio Zapata: Traveling is really cool.
Tenoch: Yeah, but with mushrooms! You've never stepped into a single plane.
Continuity mistake: The movie takes place in the summertime - we know this from the boys just having graduated, their girls going off to Europe, the weather, etc. Yet at the wedding near the beginning of the film, the narrator tells us that in a few days the president of Mexico will go to Seattle for the WTO conference - which we all know happened in November.
Trivia: The film is an allegory for Mexican history and Latin-American identity. Characters' names are taken directly from pivotal figures and places in Mexican history.
