"They say I'm half-a-man, but what does that makes the lot of you!?"

"The only way out is through the sea, and they're at the sea!"

"There's another way out, I'm going to show you. We'll come up behind them and fuck them in their asses! Don’t fight for your king, don’t fight for his kingdoms, don’t fight for honor, don’t fight for glory, don’t fight for riches because you won’t get any. This is your city Vernon means to sack, your gate he’s ramming. If he gets in, it will be your houses he burns, your gold he steals, your women he will rape. Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let’s go kill them!”

- Blas de Lazo's (a.k.a "the Half-Man") speech to his troops before the Battle of Cartagena
