25 Sense8 quotes that die-hard fans should know by heart
13. “Give me 58 minutes.”
Daniela Velasquez really came into her own during season 2. This non-sensate supporting character started off as a fake girlfriend for Lito and then evolved into an important part of a trio, their family. We still love Lito’s family meeting in season 2 over a Spanish omelette.
Unwilling to let Lito sulk and accept the demise of his career, Hernando and Dani work to find the perfect script. When Dani comes across a script for Lito, it becomes a Hollywood game of phone calls, connections, and playing it cool just to get in the room and be seen. While Lito is the first to throw in the towel, Dani asks for 58 minutes to fix this seemingly insurmountable obstacle.
Over the course of 58 minutes, Dani schmoozes with everyone over the phone. From agents to assistants, to producers, Dani is finding her groove and proves to every hopeful actor: yes, you too can make your dreams come true.
Hernando and Lito sit on the couch as Dani works her magic and the timer ticks closer to the 58-minute mark. Right before the timer dings, Dani gets Lito an audition for Iberian Dreams. Dani may not be a sensate, but she’s got special powers.
We love this quote because it once again shows a non-sensate character making magic happen through self-confidence and positivity.
