Transcript:
Estella: I like you, Baldo. Estella: You're funny... Estella: Honest... Estella: Handsome... Estella: And totally quixotic. Baldo: Uh... Maybe you should tell me what "quixotic" means.
I’m sure idealistic is what she means, but in English ‘quixotic’ implies idealistic but impractical, as in the phrase “tilting at windmills”. (I guess they don’t teach Cervantes in Baldo’s school.)

I agree to the definition of “quixotic.”

Shame they don’t teach Cervantes and Don Quixote at Baldo’s school. Besides being interesting, they’re both Hispanic…

So she means that he is totally impractical or that she has windmill that she wants his to tilt.

See, I thought it had something to do with Don Quixote. Baldo should be wearing a suit of armor.
