→Transcription of Spanish from Columbian woman
:''Cuando era una niña, las cosas no eran fáciles. Pero ahora, un año llueve y llueve. Todavía ni sacamos las hojas de coca, y ya se pudren. Dicen que es por el calentamiento de la tierra. Hace 2 años, el río se llevó la casa de mi hermano, se llevó a mi hermano, su esposa, mi sobrino, y a la bebé. La encontramos cubierta de lodo, y donde se secó, parecía ceniza. El año pasado fue difícil, pero los hombres que compran las hojas de coca, nos dijeron sembrar lo que pudieramos. Lo hicimos y se lo llevaron. Esperamos y esperamos, finalmente nos dijeron que no nos podían pagar, que ya nadie quería comprar hojas de coca. Shh Shh. Callate hijita mía.. Que linda.. Este año las lluvias volvieron y no se pudo sembrar. Ahora dice la gente que nadie compra las hojas de coca. Ya no le vale a nadie. Aún en Bogotá sólo se quiere Opalo. Se compra Opalo en los Estados Unidos y se lo trae a Bogotá... Opalo...''
*[It should be noted that the woman speaking in Spanish is not having a Colombian accent, but she has an accent originated on or influenced by Mexican or Central American accents. This confussion confusion is commonly observed in American films. It has not been clarified if this contradiction is intentional and meaningful or if it would be, otherwise, only due to a mistake during production. Obviously, this nuance is not detectable to the main intended audiences intended.]

: ''When I was a little girl, things weren't easier. But now, in a year it keeps raining and raining. --- We haven't taken out the coca leaves yet, and they're already rotting. They say that it's because of the global warming. Two years ago, the river took my brother's home, took my brother, his wife, my nephew, and the baby.. We found her covered in mud, and where it was dry, it looked like ashes. Last year was difficult, but the men who buy the coca leaves said to us to sow what we could..We did it and they took it. We hoped and we hoped, finally they said to us that they could not pay us, that nobody wanted to buy coca leaves anymore. Shh Shh. Calm down my daughter... How pretty... This year the rains returned and it was not possible to sow. Now the people say that nobody buys the coca leaves anymore. It's not longer worth it to anybody. Still in Bogota, they only want Opal. Opal is bought in the United Estates and brought to Bogota... Opal...''
