So you know how Luis loves referencing Don Quixote?
I sat there for the longest time, wondering why it sounded familiar to me, IT'S A REFERENCE TO A BOOK AND A MOVIE (in Luis's case, probably just the book)
Now I read the book back in high school didn't watch the movie till college but Luis has rekindled a memory and I need to hunt the book down again like I want a hardback copy on my book shelf.
I'm also just sitting here imagining that man having a well-worn and very loved copy of Don Quixote, I mean, there's no way he doesn't have a copy with how heavily he references it.
And it's actually cute that he calls Leon, Sancho Panzo, because their banter checks out, and it implies (at least for me) Luis saw Leon and went "yes him, that one will be my squire. I like him."
If you are curious about the books plot...
The plot revolves around the adventures of a member of the lowest nobility, an hidalgo from La Mancha named Alonso Quijano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he either loses or pretends to have lost his mind in order to become a knight-errant (caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha.[b] He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's lofty rhetoric often concerning knighthood, already seeming old-fashioned at the time or incoherent to most, and representing the most droll realism in contrast to his master's idealism though at times left being very impressed. In the first part of the book, Don Quixote does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story meant for the annals of all time.
The book was also originally in two parts, and there was (not sure if it's still performed) a play inspired by it ,MAN of La Mancha.
Like I could go on about Don Quixote... if you want me too, I'm sure Luis would enjoy it XD

And, of course, Leon isn't going to get what Luis is referencing at all. It's going to be nonsense to him, which makes their enteractions whenever Luis references the book, even funnier.
