BOLTA!! what does Angel yell before trying ...


...to shoot mapache? Bolta? I can't find any word in Spanish that sounds like that. I assume he meant die.

reply

He was yelling at his old girlfriend who took up with Mapache to survive; He called her, "Puta".





Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

I'll have to watch it again ...don't recall jt sounding it like puta but makes sense thanks

reply

Puta is the Spanish word for "whore."

reply

Yea I know that but it doesnt sound like hes yelling puta...I swear there's a "L" in the word. I'll check th3 script n see if it's in there

reply

I would be interested in seeing the script, too. To me, it also sounded like there was an L in the word. But puta makes sense when you consider the context in relation to the story.

I kind of hear an "L" too, but it's still probably "puta".

reply

I agree...it's Puta. And what a whore she was too
