Factual error: There is a scene where John Q's son whispers to him with a breathing tube down his throat. It is physically impossible to speak, even whisper, with a breathing tube.
John Q (2002)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Nick Cassavetes
Starring: Robert Duvall, Denzel Washington, James Woods, Kimberly Elise, Gabriela Oltean
Denzel wants to commit suicide in order to give his son a heart. He lays down on the operating table, pulls out his gun, and shoots but nothing happens because he put the lock on earlier. Then his wife tells him that they have a heart, and it ends up being from the girl who got in the crash at the beginning! John was convicted later to stay in jail for 2 years.

Question: After John releases the hostages, we see the woman Rosa go to a police car. When she is asked to comment on John, she calls him a good man and then starts talking in Spanish. I can catch that she calls someone crazy, but I can't understand any of the rest. What is it that she's saying?
