Columbus : [shooting a glance out of a window] Tell me, what do you see?
Sanchez : [pausing to look] I see rooftops, I see palaces, I see towers, I see spires that reach... to the sky! I see civilisation!
Columbus : All of them built by people like me.
[Sanchez doesn't respond - shocked]
Columbus : No matter how long you live, Sanchez, there is something that will never change between us. I did it. You didn't.
