You think I can resign myself? To fighting for a lost cause? You think I'm out there every day for the good of my soul? I'm scared too. But I'm fighting because I believe we can win.

Chico Mendes: I want to live. I want to live.

Chico Mendes: Wilson Pinheiro is dead! I said Wilson Pinheiro is dead! They shot him in the union office. The bastards shot him in his chair. This is Chico Mendes, calling all the people from Cachoeira. They said they were going to kill him and they did it. Don't fight back! That's what they want.

Gunman: Nilu Sergio is dead. Long live the Union!

Galvao: [on the news stories about Mendes campaigns around the world to save the forests] Chico, please. Do you really think this is in good taste? To embarrass your countrymen and your government in the eyes of the world?::Chico Mendes: [opening an envelope and putting on a table the bullets that killed Jair] Is it in good taste to put nine bullets in a man's body?
