My Sister's Keeper/dialogues

(Marston finds the Fortuna family)

Miranda: No pesa mucho. Esta bien, mama. Esta bien.

Ms. Fortuna: No, no.

Luisa: Ah, Señor Marston! ¡Mama, papa, este es el gringo que me salvo!

Mr. Fortuna: Muchas gracias! My family is indebted to you. Forgive my English.

Marston: What's happening?

Luisa: Great and terrible things! The revolution is coming! The country will be in turmoil once more. This time, we hope is the last time.

Marston: Does that seem likely?

Luisa: With Abraham Reyes, anything is possible!

Marston: Where is your family going?

Luisa: My parents and my brother are headed to the hills. My sister has to flee. The army have an unfortunate way of treating women.

Marston: And you?

Luisa: Don't worry about me, Mr. Marston. I am living in history. I am not afraid to die.

Marston: Your nobility's almost as affecting as your naivety.

Luisa: I would rather be dead than a cynic like you, Mr. Marston.

Marston: I would too...

Luisa: I know you're not really like that. You saved me.

Mr. Fortuna: Luisa. ¿Quien va a salvar a Miranda? Tenemos que llevarla al puerto! Su barco sale al anochecer. ¡No queda tiempo!

Luisa: Mr. Marston, can I ask one more favor of you? Can you take my sister to the docks? We are sending her to work for a kind man in the Yucatan. She is too young for revolution.

Marston: Okay. Anything I can do to help out.

Luisa:The boat leaves at sundown. Miranda, vamos.

Ms. Fortuna: (crying) Adios, Miranda. Ten cuidado!

Miranda: Emilio works as a driver. We will take his stagecoach.

Miranda: Let's go. Before I change my mind.

(They run into a checkpoint)

Guard: Paren! Papeles! Esta camino esta prohibito!

Miranda: What do they want now? Act normal. It's nothing to worry about.

Guard: Te conozco! Eres una pinche rebelde!

Guard 2: Disparen! No los dejen escapar!

(They kill the guards and makes it)

Miranda: Gracias a Dios! We made it in time. Thank you for everything! Will I see you when I return?

Marston: Not likely. I ain't planning on stayin' very long.

Miranda: In some other life, then.

Marston: Maybe. You should get going. Travel safely.

[Miranda and her helpers go downriver.]
