The lovely alierakieron directed me toward the second Zorro story in radio drama form (it apparently hasn't been in print since the twenties. Sad), in which Diego's fiancee gets to have a moment of Awesome while being accosted by the pirates raiding the pueblo.

Lolita: Bitch, please, the garrison is going to come ruin your party any second now.

Pirate: Haha, we tricked them into riding out of town looking for us!

Lolita: They'll come back when they see the fires.

Pirate: What fires?

Lolita: The fires outside the window.

Pirate: Ack, fire! What idiot torched the servants' quarters?

Lolita: MY SERVANTS did it. And by now the soldiers have seen it. Pwnd.

Pirate: Run away! Back to the ship!

Of course, they take her with them to be a damsel in distress, because otherwise we wouldn't have much of a story, but still.

Also, it doesn't happen often (for good reason), but I totally love whenever someone refers to Los Angeles by its full name. El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula. Little nothingburger of a town with a name bigger than its population. Gotta love the Spanish.
