The Skin I Live In

& Presidente del Instituto de Biotecnología: There’s only one way to toughen skin... By mutating it.
    Robert Ledgard: Yes, that’s what I did.
    Presidente: Transgenesis.
    Robert: Yes. I transferred genetic information... from a pig’s cell to a human cell.
    Presidente: A pig’s cell?!
    Robert: It’s much stronger than ours.
    Presidente: You’re insane! You know the application of transgenetic therapy... in humans is completely forbidden!
    Robert: Yes, I do. And, forgive me, but it seems the ultimate paradox. We intervene in everything around us... meat, clothes, vegetables, fruit, everything! Why not use scientific advances to improve our species?

& Vera Cruz: Couldn’t we just live?.. Live together.
    Robert: Live together? How?
    Vera: Like everyone.
    Robert: You and I aren’t like everyone.
    Vera: Look on it as another of your experiments. Living together as equals...

& Vera: Listen...
    Zeca: What?
    Vera: Lets fuck in the garden, please!
    Zeca: The garden? Why? I’m sick of screwing in the open air. This tiger wants a bed.

& Marilia: The things that a madman’s love can do!

& Vicente: Are you stoned?
    Norma Ledgard: Stoned?
    Vicente: Have you taken any pills?
    Norma: Yes. Cipralex 20... 100 mg of Deprax... 2 g of Trankimazin. I don’t take Rohipnol now. And Lyrica, of course.
    Vicente: Shit! I’m high as hell too.
    Norma: High?

& Robert: And now... some aftershave.
    Vicente: Why did you shave me?
    Robert: That’s a good question.

& Robert: You have to keep the new orifice* open... and manage, bit by bit, to make it deeper. Think that your life depends on that orifice... that you breathe through it. In this case... there are several dilators* of different sizes. Start by inserting the smallest one. It will hurt at first... but in a few months... the largest one will fit without any effort... and the skin... will be perfectly healed.

& Médico: Do you know what would happen to you... if the scientific community found out you used transgenesis... on someone you’d kidnapped?
    Robert: I don’t like threats, they end up infecting me.

orifice — отверстие; проход

4th: Tarantino-ish’ whiff.
