JOSÉ DOLORES
Thank you. But anyway, sooner or later, they are going to kill me.
SOLDIER
Maybe not, General. Maybe they will let you live.
JOSÉ DOLORES
If they let me live, it means it is convenient for them. And if it’s convenient for them, it is convenient for me to die.
SOLDIER
Why?
JOSÉ DOLORES
Because the hunter lets the hawk live only when he wants a decoy or to hunt in his place. He is kept alive, but in a cage.
SOLDIER
But then, after a while, maybe they will free you.
JOSÉ DOLORES
No, little soldier, it doesn’t work like that, friend. If a man gives you freedom, it is not freedom. Freedom is something you — you alone — must take. Do you understand? Well, you will, one day, because you’ve already started to think about it.
