"The ground floor was flooded  and folders floating loose in the empty office." "I myself have explored many times this swamp of lost causes and it is a coincidence that he could save 322 of the 500 sheets or more that had to rely on trial." "The outcome of the case the judge concluded, there was not the slightest evidence that Santiago Nasar would have been ... have been the culprit in this case." "For him, as for the closest friends of Santiago ... behavior during the hours before the tragedy ... was clear evidence of his innocence." "There was never any more death announced that it." "For years we could not talk about anything else." "We get caught by surprise by the rooster thinking about all these coincidences chained who made possible this is absurd." "Obviously, we did not understand a mystery ... but because of aucin we could not continue to live without knowing exactly the role that fate had chosen us." "Many have never known." "But most of those who could have prevented this crime ... however, they have done nothing themselves" "satisfied with the idea that the cause of honor belong only to those who are the protagonists." "Angela Vicario, did you know the deceased Santiago Nasar?" "It was he who raped me." "After the revelation, the twins passed through the barn  and chose the best two knives."

"They often came on Friday afternoon." "I do not understand why they had a Monday, so soon, and even with the wedding clothes." "I thought they were drunk because they were mistaken for hours and even days." " Today is Monday!" " We know, stupid." " We just need to sharpen our knives." " Yes, we're going to kill Santiago Nasar." "Why kill Santiago Nazar?" "Why him when he is so rich that deserve to die before him?" " Long live the newlyweds!" " Be happy!"

"Good evening." "I just get the bread of the Mayor." " Good morning." "Good morning." " I'm gonna go home and sleep." " Meet you later." "Blanco the coffee is ready." " I'll take it later." "Tell Divina Flor woke up at 5:30... and bring me a pair of pants like this." "The Vicario brothers tell everyone they want to kill Santiago Nasar." "There is probably some truth in there, because I saw them in Clotilde Armentas with two butcher knives." "Bayardo San Roman returned Angela to her house." " It was not a virgin." " And just today the bishop!" "What will he think?" "Let's go." " You do not eat first?" " No, let's go." "But what to sting?" "For such are we now?" "Come on." "Wake up!" "Go home!" "Will think that the bishop if he sees you like that?" "They are not in this state because of the visit of the Bishop, the Mayor." "This is to free these boys weight obligation fell on them." "Do not stop." "You can not stop people for mere suspicion." "Santiago Nasar, but must be notified." "Come here." "Father Amador will say that the Vicario brothers want to kill Santiago Nasar." "It's true, I received a message, and others lpus disturbing, while I was preparing to go to the port." "In truth, I do not know what to do." "At first I thought it was not for me, but a case under civil." "I decided to put in a word to the mother of Santiago, but across the square I forgot everything." "Understand." "that fateful day was the visit of the bishop." "I'll stay here." "I have to pee." "Fetch knives." "I piss glass." "I'll kill the bitch who gave it to me if I find it." "I do not say that to me." "Come." "I can not." "Do it yourself." "I'm in no condition to kill somebody." "You know there is no other way." "We must do." "Good day." " Hello." " The coffee is not ready yet." "We later." "There is no time now." "I guess." "The honor will not wait." "You are here?" "I will never marry with you if you do not do your duty as a man." "Go tell the cook to kill Santiago Nasar they will." "Course!" "No, they will not kill him." "I'm sure these two are not capable." "They will make him marry Angela to restore its honor." "Come, go down and will receive the bishop." " Is that Santiago is back?" " No, I have not seen." "Where is Santiago?" "It is not yet returned to sleep." "They want to kill him." "These two boys will not kill anyone." " They drank since Saturday." " Exactly." "A drunk can not eat his own shit!" "Are you sure that Santiago is not on the floor?" "I have not seen." "Mrs. asleep?" " Yes, I have to wake up later." "Santiago?" "Santiago?" " Ah, it's you." " I went searching Santiago." "He went to receive the bishop." "Yes, he was with me, but I lost sight." "It goes back a moment to the next." "He told me he wanted to go into the fields." "But what happened?" "You're weird." "I have not slept." "I'll get out." "Cristo Bedoya!" "Santiago Nasar told that we are waiting for the kill." "He walks with a big gun that can destroy an engine." "The dead can not shoot." "Cristbal, it warned." "You're the only one able to prevent this tragedy." "Colonel!" "The Vicario brothers took knives to kill Santiago Nasar!" " Can I have taken them and I sent to bed." "Well, they are there and they have in their hands." "With others, because they had those, I would have taken and I have at home." "Anyway I got it right away." "A doctor, or is it that there is a doctor?" "Help me I need a doctor!" "My son is very sick." "Come to my doctor!" " No, I can not." " Go ahead, there is not a moment to lose!" "I must stay here!" "Come in." " They do not always have t !" "killed?" " Who?" " Angela Vicario's brothers." "You have dishonored." " Me?" "Yes, you!" "I saw how you looked at the church and during the dance at the wedding." "Flora, what you say, you're crazy?" "Wait." "Flora, wait!" "Flora!" "Flora opened!" "Flora!" "Flora!" "Flora, open the door!" "The Vicario brothers seek you to kill you!" "Do you know if they are right or not." "Now be you stay here, you are at home or you go out with my gun." "But I do not understand!" "They will be two against one." " And my son knows?" " No, because when he came, I did not know either." " Where is he now?" " I do not know." " Where is my son?" " He must be in his room, I heard footsteps upstairs." "He is there." " Santiago, they'll kill you!" " Leave me!" " Santiago, they will kill you!" "Santiago!" "They will kill you!" "Do not!" "No!" "Santiago!" "They'll kill you!" "Run!" "Santiago!" "Run!" "Hurry!" "Santiago, shoo!" "Go, go!" "They'll kill you!"

"Pull over the edge!" "Go go!" "You've never seen a man drunk?" "Go home!" "There is nothing to see." "Why did you lie?" "Who was it?" "WHO WAS?" "Who was it?" ""My love." "Has little I returned to our house and I felt the scent of your skin."" ""My love, how do we write to someone who never answers?"" "Here, nothing changes." "Everything is the same." "Look, there it is." "Since then, she continues to write to him." "One or two letters a week." "I would not have recognized." "During all these years, I've always wanted to ask you one question." "Tell me." "But tell me the truth." "Is what you were protecting someone giving the name of Santiago Nasar?" "Listen, think no more, Cristbal." "It was him." "The door!" "Open!" "Open!" "Santiago!" "Santiago!" "Santiago!" "Santiago!" "Father Amador!" "We killed him." "We killed him, but we are innocent." " Before the Lord can be." " Before God and before men!" "It is a matter of honor!"
