Flaca to Emil Sand, The Alamo (1960): "Tu éres el más digno descendiente de la liga de puercos"
Translation: "You are the most worthy descendant of the league of pigs." ;D

"They don't know it's Crockett they're fightin'." -- Sterling Hayden in The Last Command. "Crockett." -- Battery Sergeant in The Alamo '04. Rich, I always thought he was saying, "Let 'em know it's Crockett they're fighting." Sterling could mumble at times...maybe he was trying to take away some of Brando's thunder.

I'll have to listen again, but I hear it in my mind's ear as "They don't know..."

Flaca to Emil Sand, The Alamo (1960): "Tu éres el más digno descendiente de la liga de puercos" Translation: "You are the most worthy descendant of the league of pigs." ;D I know there were more lines written for her to say, but here is what was in the soundtrack: "Tu eres el mas bajo de los cobardes! Como es posible... a tampoco de mira... tampoco verguenza?" (and then the sound editor used this same line a second time up close and from a different "take," thinking nobody would notice.) Translation: "You are the lowest of the cowards! How is it possible... so little sight... so little dignity?" (Repeat)

What in the world does Sande say to the hack driver when he sends him away?

"I'm a screamer!" last line spoken by Crockett in THE ALAMO (2004). That one might actually make some sense, in the context of the movie. The BBT characterization buys into the idea that Crockett was trying to live up to his myth and the Nimrod Wildfire image. In songs of the period, including some written about Crockett, the term "screamer" is used as a boast. Someone who was a "screamer" was a real hellion and wild man; someone who could "whip his weight in wildcats," a boast often associated with Crockett's comical stump speeches. If Thornton's Crockett is determined to live up to that image at the moment of his death, then shouting "I'm a screamer!" makes sense and is like spitting in Santa Anna's face. Although I have to agree it's pretty esoteric and was probably lost on most of the audience. That whole scene is so contrived that it really hurt the film. I have no problem with the possibility that Crockett was captured and executed, but that rendering is even more stagy than de la Pena's. Allen

To me it seemed incongruous, unlikely, and completely out of place in the bloody reality of the moment. It trivializes it. My opinion, anyway.
