Zolo : How will you die, Joan Wilder? Slow, like... a snail? Or fast, like a shooting star?
-
Zolo : There are schedules to be maintained, even in Colombia.
-
Zolo : Crocodiles shed tears when they eat their prey. You have heard of these tears I am sure. But have you seen them?

[Zolo is interrogating Joan about El Corazon's whereabouts , threatening to feed her to the crocodiles by using her bleeding hand as a lure]
Jack Colton : Hey! Stop! Let her go! She is not telling you because she doesn't know where it is. *I've* got it.
Zolo : Where is it?
Jack Colton : [pause] It's in a safe place.
[Zolo motions to one of cronies, who hits Jack in the groin. There is a loud clang and Jack shakes the emerald down his pantleg. The emerald lands gently on Jack's foot]
Jack Colton : [coolly] Choke on it.
[Jack kicks up the stone into the air. Everyone watches El Corazon through the air in an impressive arch. Zolo catches the emerald before it falls into the water]
Zolo : [smiles] Thank you!
[a crocodile emerges and bites Zolo's hand]
Zolo : AAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
[the crocodile proceeds to scissor off Zolo's hand, swallowing the stone with it, leaving a bloody stump behind. Zolo screams in agony as Jack, Joan, Elaine and Iran and Raph watch in shock and horror]
