[first lines]
Capt. Marcus Grisham : The stars are bright tonight, senorita.
Tessa Alvarado : Are they, Captain? I hadn't noticed.
Capt. Marcus Grisham : You should have had some wine; it might have opened your eyes.
Tessa Alvarado : Your eyes have obviously seen a great deal this evening.
Capt. Marcus Grisham : Yes, they have... and I couldn't help notice you were alone. Pity.
Tessa Alvarado : I noticed I was alone, too. That's why I left.
Capt. Marcus Grisham : Well, you're not alone any more. I can escort you back inside.
Tessa Alvarado : No, I'm returning home, but thank you. You're most kind.
Capt. Marcus Grisham : Well then, why don't you let me escort you to wherever the hell it is you're going? The road is dark and dangerous.
Tessa Alvarado : It might be safer without a dashing captain.

Col. Luis Montoya : I'm sorry, Senorita, I truly am, but I cannot give you access to the prisoner. You are my star witness - I cannot risk the accused influencing your testimony.
Tessa Alvarado : You're so sweet. You're worried about me, but Anton's life depends on me and all I saw was shadows on a curtain.
Col. Luis Montoya : When a man is staring Death in the face, sometimes you cannot believe what he says. Trust me.
Tessa Alvarado : Poor thing. Such a burden to be judge, jury *and* executioner.
