Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
antropófago
cannibal (used here as a rough nickname)expressioncolloquialLiterally 'cannibal' in Spanish. In this dialogue it functions exclusively as a personal nickname between two characters, used affectionately. A learner who knows the word's literal meaning may still miss that it has become a term of endearment in this context.

bastardo
bastard (used here as a rough nickname or insult between males)expressionvulgarIn this dialogue it functions both as a genuine insult and as a rough term of address between two men, similar to how some speakers use 'cabrón' between close acquaintances. The tone shifts depending on context: hostile when used by an authority figure, almost affectionate when used repeatedly between the two main male characters.
Oye, bastardo, ¿me vas a ayudar con esto o no?Hey, you bastard, are you going to help me with this or not?
