These are my favorite quotes of the episode: 


14:28: "You don’t recognize it sometimes, but you’re changing a
lot, and you don’t recognize these steps that you’re improving,
and suddenly you’re saying “oh let's do a second
contract".” 
16:38: "I guess the best advice is just be yourself. Don’t change
yourself for anybody."
28:09: ”Damn, Marina, what are you doing now? What are you doing
with your life?”
29:50: “Marina, are you doing jobs that are paying your bills or

37:07 So in Spain, a lot of people are so poor. But poor of
money. But in their heart, they are super rich.”
