For those who didn't catch it in the trailer, Luis refers to Ashley as 'Dulcinea', and himself as 'Sancho Panza'. Both are references to characters in the novel Don Quixote.
Dulcinea, in full Dulcinea del Toboso, fictional character in the two-part picaresque novel Don Quixote (Part I, 1605; Part II, 1615) by Miguel de Cervantes. Aldonza Lorenzo, a sturdy Spanish peasant girl, is renamed Dulcinea by the crazed knight-errant Don Quixote when he selects her to be his lady. Don Quixote perceives Dulcinea as a golden-haired highborn young woman of incomparable loveliness for whom he will perform brave deeds as her paladin. The name Dulcinea, like Dulcibella, came to be used generically to mean mistress or sweetheart. (source)
Sancho Panza, Don Quixote’s squire in the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, a short, pot-bellied peasant whose gross appetite, common sense, and vulgar wit serve as a foil to the mad idealism of his master. He is famous for his many pertinent proverbs. Cervantes used the psychological differences between the two characters to explore the conflict between the ideal and the real and based much of his novel’s narrative development on their personal relationship. (source)
This leaves Leon in the role of Don Quixote.
As part one opens, an aging minor nobleman named Alonso Quixano, enamoured by chivalric romances, sets out from his home village of La Mancha on a quest for adventure. Christening himself Don Quixote, he recruits peasant Sancho Panza to be his squire, promising him an island to govern at the completion of their journey. The pair stumble into a series of comedic misadventures in which Quixote imagines the mundane world of the Spanish countryside as something more exciting and dangerous. In one memorable episode, he attacks a row of windmills, believing them to be gigantic knights. (This is the source of the common phrase “tilting at windmills” to mean attacking imagined enemies.) Quixote evades attempts by friends and countrymen to safely bring him back home, while proving himself, despite his obvious madness, to be good and honourable, and winning Panza’s admiration and devotion. After numerous humiliations, he finally casts aside his illusions, returns home, and dies. (source)

"There is no book so bad...That it does not have something good in it. One of the earliest classics from the Spanish Golden age known as ‘the first modern novel’, Miguel de Cervantes don Quixote was published in two volumes. The first volume published in 1605, became a runaway success. Ten years later, in 1615, The second volume was published. Having devoured innumerable chivalric romances, Alonso quixano, under the name don Quixote de LA mancha, sets out on an adventure to restore order in the world. Sancho Panza, his faithful squire, responds to quixote’s sermons on knighthood with wit and pragmatism. http://dlvr.it/T1RbLX

“Don Quixote" is a novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. The novel is a satire of the popular genre of chivalric romances that were popular in Europe at the time, and it tells the story of a middle-aged man named Alonso Quixano who becomes so enamored with these stories that he decides to become a knight-errant himself.
Quixote, who renames himself Don Quixote, sets out on a series of adventures, accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Quixote is convinced that he is a great knight, but his delusions and his inability to distinguish between reality and fiction lead him into a series of absurd and comical situations.
Despite his many setbacks and humiliations, Quixote remains determined to prove himself as a knight and to right the wrongs of the world. Along the way, he faces many challenges, including being attacked by windmills that he mistakes for giants and being thrown in prison for his delusions.
In the end, Quixote is able to return home, where he is finally able to reconcile with reality and accept that his adventures as a knight were just a fantasy. However, his time as a knight-errant has left a lasting impact on him, and he is able to find some sense of fulfillment and purpose in his life.
"Don Quixote" is a classic novel that has been widely read and admired for its wit, humor, and its portrayal of the human condition. It is considered a masterpiece of literature and has been translated into numerous languages.

Dom Quixote De La Mancha
Dom Quixote De La Mancha é também conhecido como um dos cavaleiros andantes mais malucos e criativos não só dos livros como dos filmes, mas algo que poucos sabem ou se lembram é que o verdadeiro nome de Dom Quixote é Alonso Quixano ou também pronuciado Alonso Quijano.
