This following dialogue is from a scene on the sixth episode; "Derecho a Soñar"

  • -(Bejarano) "Respectable neighbours of this neighbourhood;- referring to the audience -"torturing the rights, is not a healthy "habiting" for the practice of the politics, I, for that reason, don't use to practice for not torturing myself, because there's no right"
  • -(Judge) "And the cash Rene?"
  • -(Bejarano) "I invite you to put behind you those charges based on the hatreds, to that, to that is the only thing I can invite you, because I'm not wealthy enough to invite something else"- he laughs -"There are those ones who want to make us prisoners of the telecracy, and I don't see the fun part"
  • -(Judge) "And the cash René"??
  • -(Bejarano) "The democracy can't be based on the lies of a dark clown; isn't it my depressed children?" (making fun of Brozo)
"The mediatic tellers are neither judges nor fiscals and we'd doing wrong if we'd treating them like, because now it's me, and then, then anywho".
  • -(Judge): "And the cash René???" (In Spanish: ¿Y la lana René?)
  • - (Bejarano: "La Rana René está con los Muppets" (Joking of the pronunciation of lana=rana) ("La Rana Rene" is Kermit the Frog in Mexico)
  • -(Bejarano): "I know, you all have seen the video of me receiving money from Ahumada. The thing that really disappoints me is that, existing a legal version, you all have bought a fake copy. Now, our partner Dolores (referring to his wife) will give you original videos that you'll can buy for a low price"
"Nothing left standing for my defense, I let to your conscience for your serene reflection, the decision, about my, innocence, or about, my culpability".
  • -(Judge): "What does the audience says?!"
  • -(Crowd): "Out!" "Out!"
  • -(Bejarano): "Finally for finish, wherever I am, nobody, nobody at all will ever block me my right for dreaming"
  • -(Crowd): "Out"! "Out!"
  • - (The frame changes and Bejarano is trapped in jail, before he wakes up and realizes he was dreaming)
