Chuco : Lots of stars up there, Homey. Not too polluted.
Angel : The stars aren't really there, ese. No, what you're looking at is where they used to be, man. It takes the light a thousand years to reach the Earth. You know, for all we know, they burned out a long time ago, man. God pulled the plug on us. He didn't tell nobody.
Chuco : The stars are out there, homeboy. I don't care what you say.

Jaime Escalante : Go to woodshop and make yourself a shoeshine box. You're gonna need it.
Angel : You the man, you know? Why don't you put them in college, huh? So dumb taco benders like me can pick their vegetables for them, collect their garbage, clip their poodles' toenails. I may be a sinner, but I'm willing to pay for my sins.
Jaime Escalante : Right. See you at three.
Angel : I got more bad news for you, *profe.* I know this is really gonna trip you out, but... I forgot my pencil.
