"DON QUIXOTE" "The arrow of your love is not a sword..." "But it has pierced my heart." "Uncle, your soup is ready." "It is going to get cold." "Uncle..." "He should be in a madhouse." "They'd soon clear his head of thoughts of chivalry." "Oh, but he doesn't harm anyone." "Doesn't harm anyone?" "What is he doing to you when he sells all his property piece by piece?" "And his cattle?" "What will you say if he mortgages the house?" "Victory!" "Victory!" "And that fool of his, Sancho, even took the horse to town today." "Once he sold the cow." "If it were not for you, I would never come back here again." "Oh Carrasco, don't you like me anymore?" "I do." "But we need to live." "Ah, children!" "When is the wedding?" "If her uncle keeps going like this, soon there won't be any money left to pay for the mass." "Aw... more books!" "Ah, well at least they haven't gotten rid of Rossinante." "I don't know what the poor beast's going to eat now they've sold the last bit of land..." "Last bit of land?" "What do you mean?" "Lively, Sancho, make haste!" "I'm coming, I'm running..." "Here I am." "You see, he's sold everything." "Has he truly sold his last piece of land?" "To buy books." "I can't see why you exchange good land for old bits of paper!" "And what do you get out of these things?" "They just rob you of sleep." "Armor clothes me, battles soothe me." "Oh by the way, the bookseller gave me this pot on top of everything." "But it has no visor." "Oh, you mean a flap." "I'll soon fix that." "Armor clothes me, battles soothe me." "Weariness is my sleep" "All these mouths speak to me." "We have to go." "Do you know, Sancho, what a knight errant is?" "Not at all." "The ladies' servant, the one who imposes justice on earth." "Sancho, doesn't your heart ache with the injustice of the world?" "Not very much." "You shall be my squire and in return I'll make you governor." "...of the many kingdoms I shall surely conquer." "...unless you would prefer..." "An island surrounded by water." "With a cellar full of wine." "What is happening, my friends?" "Why are you crying Maria?" "Uncle, if we become poor, Carrasco won't marry me anymore!" "I am not a moneygrubber, Sir." "I love Maria." "But we can't live on love alone." "Don't worry, my Friends." "You will have everything." "You will have silks, gold signet rings, and ruby crowns." "Old fool..." "Happy is he whose illusion embellishes life." "Ladies and gentlemen, this evening..." "Big performance, Amadis of Gaul." "Pantomime given by the well known Baraca Players." "Tell your friends." "My destiny!" "King Arthur's trumpets are calling to me." "Sancho, be ready!" "Prepare some borage tea instead, so he will sweat and his fever will drop." "Put him to bed." "Do you think he will get better?" "Do men ever recover from madness before dying?" "Instead of acting, you should bring me Enough to keep the pot boiling, drunkard, lazybones." "You will regret calling me these names when I cone back laden with riches..." "When I bring you back silks, a gold signet ring, and a booby er, ruby crown." "You'll see, I will have my own island, surrounded by water with calves, cows and pigs." "Shut up, drunkard!" "You've lost your reason, you and that old fool." "Both of you together haven't got the brains of a child." "The Sierra Nevada is calling me, is calling me." "I go for your glory, my sweetheart, my sweetheart!" "There's nothing left in the house but old papers." "I'm worried about the future." "Maria, what will become of us?" "Listen, Carrasco..." "Now he gets it in his head to sing!" "His madness continues even though we've put him to bed." "The Sierra Nevada is calling me, is calling me." "I go for some glory, my sweetheart, my sweetheart!" "Go fight, Don Quixote, the powers of dark, go fight, Don Quixote, the powers of dark." "For you, my lady divine, for you I will conquer the world." "This is mad." "Will he never stop?" "He knows many songs." "He often sang to me when I was a child." "Is that him up there?" "Yes, his madness increases day by day." "It is only the fever... it will pass." "I go for your glory, my sweetheart, my sweetheart." "Go fight, Don Quixote the powers of dark." "Go fight, Don Quixote, the powers of dark." "The enchanter!" "Halt, bandit, or I will stop you!" "Ladies and gentlemen, lend an ear and open your eyes." "The feats of Amadis the Valiant are presented on this stage." "The princess enters on the stage." "Watch her simplicity, her grace." "From Saragossa to the sea, is there a lady who can surpass her in honor, in nobility..." "In grace?" "I am the King." "My heart is sad because the giant Melicheland wants the hand of the princess my daughter!" "Each month this Melicheland of some young virgin takes... her hand." "He's got a nerve, the villain!" "A hundred knights defied him." "The giant ate them up!" "Amadis, knight of Gaul, turned his adventure to do good." "As well becomes a noble knight, he bravely enters every fight." "The battle rages, steel meets steel, passion will wreak defiance." "To whom belongs the victory, the brave knight or the giant?" "The giant, now trembling with fear, calls on the enchanter Merlin to appear." "Bravo, Amadis!" "I am with you, I am on your side." "Now then, repent yourself!" "Look, it's Don Quixote!" "Let them alone!" "Now, my lord Amadis, since I have saved you from the magic spell..." "I beg of you to knight me." "That's right, Amadis, make him a knight!" "Knight him, knight him!" "Since the audience is so graciously disposed, we will now knight the famous..." "Don Quixote de la Mancha." "Don Quixote de la Mancha, I dub thee knight." "Swear to obey the laws of our order?" "I swear!" "Look, Amadis, he's got no feather." "Give him yours." "The management will go to any sacrifice to please." "Hey, d'you think I pay you to stand around and do nothing, you lazy wench?" "How dare you insult a noble lady before a knight and a king?" "Hey, what's he say?" "Madame, allow me to devote all my life to your service." "This is indeed the lady of his dreams." "And what name would you give the lady?" "Dulcinea." "Sancho!" "It's time, Sancho." "We have to go and fight against injustice." "Now?" "We could sleep a little bit more." "Injustice isn't going to clear off like that!" "Injustice never rests." "Come." "So, Sir, it's still agreed on my island, isn't it?" "The words of a knight are pure gold." "This castle new, this new made device, All enriched with marble and forged by molten fire." "This castle blessed by love, from its empire..." "Endowed by Heaven and happy artifice." "A fortress against all vice, where virtue is mistress." "And holding sway, entrancing all hearts that they too must say..." "That for evil to triumph would be tragedy." "Good morning, Sir." "Do you feel better this morning?" "Blessed Virgin!" "He is gone!" "Mistress Maria!" "Mistress Maria, quick!" "What's going on?" "The Master has disappeared." "Don Quixote is gone." "Mercy me!" "Your madman kidnapped my husband." "No, rather it's your Sancho who kidnapped him!" "Sancho?" "Hold your vicious tongue, viper!" "Viper?" "Yes!" "Gossipers, be quiet!" "My Uncle is gone, Father." "What are we going to do?" "Have faith in God, my child." "Let him run." "I will find a way to bring him back to you." "Sancho, adventure at last!" "An army of giants." "Giants?" "All I can see is mutton." "Poor fool!" "A knight is never wrong." "Harrah!" "Harrah!" "Murderers!" "Take that!" "All the same, I still say they're sheep." "Never will you know the ways of chivalry." "I may know nothing about chivalry, but I do know my muttons." "Look here!" "Your helmet's in a sorry state!" "Oh, my helmet!" "Take it as a tribute to the lady of my dreams." "Who is the "lady of my dreams?"" "Dulcinea." "But where is Madame Dulcinea's house?" "You know it." "It is the house forged by molten fire." "Yes, I remember... the night you sang." "But Madame Dulcinea I've never seen her." "How shall I recognize her?" "By her virtue." "h that case, don't expect me back very soon!" "And don't forget to bring back another helmet." "No crimes today?" "None, Sir." "No thefts?" "Some small ones, but nothing serious." "Justice!" "Justice!" "Justice will be dispensed, but you must speak in a civil tone." "Justice is a favor, not a right." "Our sheep have been killed." "The nicest, the fattest." "A sheep killer!" "He didn't manhandle you?" "Manhandled?" "No, Sir, he just hit with his lance and his horse's foot." "During the night, I assume?" "No, Sir, in broad daylight." "It is too bad." "It is even worse at night." "He was uttering inc comprehensible words." "Some seditious words, eh?" "Yes, Sir, seditious." "We didn't understand anything." "Question these people." "Write a report:" "place, date, accomplices." "He killed our sheep." "He has to pay!" "He will pay a hundred fold!" "Thank you!" "Now, out you go!" "Oh island sweet!" "How happy I'll be!" "Not a bad looking wench." "If I had her with me in the mountains..." "Here!" "Perhaps you can tell me something." "Do you know a princess called Dulcinea?" "Dulcinea?" "Never heard of her..." "Ah, yes, I remember!" "That's what Don Quixote called her." "You remember her!" "There she is." "That's the princess?" "Don't make me laugh!" "Sancho!" "Oh God, my wife!" "Your children are starving!" "You abandoned your wife!" "I will have the police on your tail!" "Neighbor!" "The police are in your house looking for Sancho!" "Sancho?" "Jesus, Mary, Joseph!" "The helmet." "A Seville style hair cut..." "I would suggest a Segovian one." "It is in fashion at court." "But I leave it up to you" "What are you doing?" "My shaving gear!" "A brand new sign!" "Stop him!" "Stop thief!" "Do you know a man by the name of Don Quixote?" "Why yes, sir, he's my uncle." "Where is he?" "Who knows?" "He disappeared three days ago." "Has he come to harm?" "Do you have any news?" "Any news?" "There is a warrant out for his arrest!" "Well, Sancho, did you find my Dulcinea?" "Yes, Master, and she was in the courtyard." "At court, you mean." "At court, yes, and she was milking a cow." "Oh, you lie, Sancho!" "I lie, do I?" "And is this helmet is a lie?" "Perhaps you'll tell me it looks like a barber's plate." "Heavens!" "The helmet of Manbrine." "How did you win it?" "By my bravery." "See, in the courtyard at the court..." "There was an enormous devil pestering the princess Dulcinea er, Dulcinea..." "A giant!" "A giant, yes." "And, I fearlessly..." "I attacked him, I stunned him, I tore a button off his trousers." "Here it is, Master." "Course, he bit a lump out of it." "You can see it." "You exaggerate, Sancho." "It is the helmet of Mambrine." "As it pleases you, Master." "It surprises me that you, simple squire, should have conquered a giant." "Well, you know, he was only a little giant..." "Sancho, help me." "We have to go." "Maria, yes, I am going to leave with the Father." "We will track his footsteps." "We will find him and then ask for the Duke's assistance." "We must devise some ruse to bring him back." "Thank you, Carrasco." "You are good and fearless." "Sad that a nephew has to set out on the road to prevent the extravagance of a graybeard!" "These books!" "These damned books!" "I have to wander like a knight errant because of them!" "Carrasco, my strolling player, my Cid!" "You laugh?" "You're not the one who'll have to face the heat, the c old, and fleas in the inns!" "You won't be attacked by thieves!" "I would not mind..." "Strange little girl." "Your uncle's niece!" "What are you doing?" "I'm counting all the good things I would like to have for lunch..." "Chicken, cheese, duck..." "No, a little more chicken and some blood sausage." "Blood sausage is good!" "You think of nothing but eating." "Well, there is nothing more important in life." "And do you not think about chivalry?" "Of course." "I've got a head full of chivalry and nothing in my stomach!" "Who are those men?" "Prisoners." "Halt!" "Where are you going?" "To the galleys." "What for?" "For having loved." "He loved gold which didn't belong to him." "To the galleys for love?" "To me, Sancho!" "I'm here, master!" "..." "Who the devil is this villain?" "What's he in for?" "Murder?" "No, he wrote a book." "Ah, yes..." "A book against God?" "No, a book to prove that criminals don't exist." "Order!" "For God's sake!" "Who are you?" "Don Quixote de la Mancha." "Flower of chivalry Chivalry." "Essence of gentility." "Guardian of human suppering..." "Suffering!" "Idiot." "Idiot." "Free these men." "God is the only judge." "All right, old man." "Now get a move on." "Sancho!" "Free these men!" "But will he let me?" "Free them!" "The big one over there, what is he going to say?" "Go on..." "Guards, arrest this fool!" "Wait, my friends." "Listen to me!" "Promise me to take your chains to the lady of my dreams." "What is he saying?" "He says he wants us to take our chains to his girlfriend." "Our chains?" "Take them yourself, here they are." "Oh friends, take your chains to my..." "Welcome, sir, and rest after your tiring journey." "Thank you, my lord, for welcoming me to your castle..." "Ah, princess, I kiss your snow white hand." "Look what they've done to him, those cursed..." "Magicians." "Magicians." "Does a knight errant yet exist in this century?" "Have him brought here, this relic of the past." "This Don Quixote." "I see nothing funny about attacking authority." "He who attacks the law attacks your grace." "Attacks God!" "I swear, your grace, there's nothing bad about him." "Will your grace come to our assistance and help us to end these mad adventures?" "One doesn't punish a sick man." "One takes care of him!" "We know how to take care of him!" "No, my chief of police." "This is a case even beyond your competency." "The man's malady is obscure and requires special treatment." "Just what is your profession?" "My profession?" "Knight errant." "All this is very nice, old friend, but the pig's head is ready." "At last, I may eat in peace." "At last, I may eat in peace." "Ah, what a beautiful life is chivalry." "We lead a wild life; we set the crooks free." "I save princesses and duchesses." "On the other hand, I don't get to eat very often!" "Oh, island sweet, where I'd be happy." "A fat sausage and wine from Marseille, just for me." "A sausage here, a sausage there..." "Those six sausages are for Sancho Panza!" "Farewell to cops!" "Farewell to fright." "At this lodging I live it up!" "I get a bump!" "The police, thank God, never come here!" "Oh, island sweet, where I'd be happy." "A fat sausage and wine from Marseille, just for me." "A sausage here, a sausage there..." "Those six sausages are for Sancho Panza!" "Have you given lodging to a man named Don Quixote?" "A scarecrow of a man with a lance." "Hi face is back and blue." "His horse is out in the courtyard." "He's in the company of someone by the name of Sancho Panza." "It's not me, sir." "And I don't know any Don Quixote." "What is this?" "I don't know any Don Quixote." "Sir, I beg of you." "Wake up!" "A knight never sleeps." "They're after you." "Princess, keep your distance!" "But Sir!" "Sir!" "The cops!" "Ah, scoundrels!" "But it is madness!" "You have to fly!" "Since when do knights flee the police?" "Since... since Amadis." "Perhaps you are right." "He has fever..." "I'll swear to you that he's not a criminal." "Not a criminal?" "What do you call it?" "I assure you that he's a good man." "Go on, go on." "Do not tell a soul." "No, no." "Quick, quick!" "In the name of my master, the Duke..." "Illustrious Knight of the Mournful Countenance..." "I invite you to follow me to his grace's castle, where you..." "And your squire, Sancho Panza, will be treated in accordance with your rank and high position." "Governor of an island, in all his finery!" "Aren't they going to dress you up, too?" "No." "I will not forsake my arms." "I owe my glory to them." "His grace, the duke, and her grace, the duchess, await you, gentlemen." "Ladies and gentlemen, I beg of you do not give way to laughter." "This is a comedy that must be played seriously." "Its success depends on it." "I see in this entertainment a way to cure a poor man of his madness." "Otherwise, it would be cruel." "Don Quixote de la Mancha, Knight of the Mournful Countenance, and his squire, Sancho Panza." "'Tis an honor for my court to welcome you, illustrious knight." "We greet with joy Don Quixote and his squire, Sancho Panza." "We have heard speak of your great deeds." "Look at all this!" "This iron is screwed on to my body!" "It doesn't make you in a good form, Father." "Ow!" "You are wedging my knee, animal!" "Damned is chivalry!" "If I had been told that one day I would be fitted out like this..." "And what for?" "To bring a madman to his senses?" "I'm sure to lose nine in the process." "Oh, and that muzzle!" "Is this supposed to fit my head?" "Gently, gently..." "Be careful, will you?" "Ah, no, leave the glasses!" "I can't see anymore." "I can't walk!" "Be patient, Carrasco, it's for Don Quixote and Maria's good." "I am surprised, Sancho, that a man of your good sense should abandon your home in search of adventure and the hope of conquering an island." "I must follow my Master, missus." "I have thrown in my lot with his." "I cling to him as ivy to the wall." "I love him." "As for the island, I'll take a chance." "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" "Even a blind chicken can find a grain of seed." "Sancho!" "I've told you before not to speak in proverbs." "Let him be, my Don Quixote." "Just as he is, Sancho pleases me more than I can say." "No, spring lamb is too dangerous for a Governor!" "Oh, this fellow's getting on my nerves!" "Can't take that one away." "I'm told, Knight of the Mournful Countenance, that you serve a lady of unmatched beauty named Dulcinea." "Yes, your Grace." "Her beauty can but be described in music and in poetry." "Well then, you shall sing to me of her, for you are doubtless a musician and poet." "As are all knights errant, your Grace." "Too indigestible for your Excellency!" "Oh no, for goodness sake!" "No... too indigestible!" "Will anyone let me eat in peace?" "Will anyone let me eat in peace?" "The song I sing is of the fair lady of my dreams, who lifts me far above this course and common world." "Her crystal heart also, clear and true." "Her cheeks a firey rose in damask petals curled." "For her I have braved all dangers with good heart." "My arms have saved my queen from other prisons base:" "The enchanter's horrid snares, the world's envenomed tongues and forced the universe to kneel before her grace." "Fair one for whom I live, I here alone, an now..." "I'm not imprisoned nor slave of lying show..." "Alone against all victors base and coward knights my standard I will guard nor rival will allow." "Don Quixote, compared to the lady of my dreams, the charms of Dulcinea are as nothing." "One night as well compare the moon to the sun, the daisy to the rose." "Dulcinea is the most beautiful." "I stand by my word." "You are wrong." "Knight of the Mournful Countenance, you lie!" "Then you shall defend your lady with your sword!" "Knights errant are in truth unruly here!" "Concern for their feats doesn't allow any party to end in peace." "You shall decide by single combat which of your ladies out vies the other in grace and beauty." "But the loser shall renounce knight errantry forever, and return home." "Do you accept these conditions, gentlemen?" "I do." "I do." "I do." "I do." "The knight of the Gryphon." "This way to your island, my dear Governor." "Oh Sir, you are too kind." "Do you have the blindfold?" "Here it is." "What on earth is all this about?" "What a fuss!" "My master will need me." "Remain calm and dignified." "How can I see my island with this thing over my face?" "The ceremony must follow the traditional rites." "Even a blind chicken may find a grain of seed." "What is all this foolishness about?" "You take me out in my shirt in the middle of these ladies?" "That's not a way to dress!" "This way to your island, Governor." "Don Quixote de la Mancha, Knight of the Mournful Countenance..." "Champion of the Lady Dulcinea." "May God keep you and nay your valiance prove worthy of your ladies' beauty." "Knight of the Gryphon." "Brave my valor!" "But you are hurting me!" "Your Excellence!" "Your Highness!" "Wretched apothecary!" "Well done!" "Knight of the Gryphon!" "Stop!" "You're hurting me." "Don Quixote wins!" "One can never be sure with lunatics!" "Confess that Dulcinea surpasses all other women in beauty." "I'm suffocating!" "Oh, spare me!" "I'll confess anything you like!" "Heavens!" "Carrasco?" "A magician in the features of Carrasco?" "Die, scoundrel!" "Oh, pity!" "I an Carrasco in the flesh, Maria's fiancé." "I have been tricked." "It was for your own good." "Mind, Don Quixote!" "Stay with us!" "We must celebrate your victory." "Your grace, how much longer will your indulgence permit this madman, Don Quixote, to disturb the peace?" "He wants man to distribute justice in the place of God." "Many have been burned for less." "Please, let us keep our sense of values." "Politics is the art of compromise." "Your Grace, Don Quixote is innocent." "His books alone are responsible for his behavior." "Then burn his books!" "That should content you, sir." "At least you'd have something to burn." "I can't get this thing open." "This is what comes from wearing a saucepan as a hat!" "Why can't you be like ordinary people?" "Your duke, I won't forget him..." "Nor that island!" "Hey friend, that must be heavy." "Where's your donkey?" "I had to sell the donkey." "Taxes and wars have ruined us." "When the mills are finished with our grains..." "We will have nothing left but the husks and flowers for the duke." "Look, Sancho, Giants!" "Giant devils!" "They want to destroy the world." "Behold the enemy." "Behold injustice!" "Valor, go and free the world!" "Master, they're windmills!" "Only windmills!" "Master!" "That's only the sails of the mills turning in the wind!" "Easy, careful..." "Slowly, slowly..." "Here it is." "Be careful, boys." "Someone to help in the back." "We need to take him down." "Gently." "Be careful." "We are going to lay him on the floor." "Be careful." "You might hurt him." "Is he still alive?" "Yes, you can see he is breathing." "Murderer!" "Sancho!" "It starts again..." "Scoundrel." "The proverb is right:" "He who seeks wool will be hanged!" "Idiot!" "Hey, Lord Quixote, where is your lance?" "Welcome back!" "Now begins a new life for you!" "Master, it must be Merlin who burned your books." "That scoundrel Merlin you talk about so often." "Master!" "Master!" "I deceived you, Sancho." "There is no island for you." "Oh, Master, don't let that worry you." "I don't particularly want an island." "Stop crying, Sancho dear, stop crying, my poor friend." "Your master is not dead." "He lives not far away." "He lives on a happy isle where only truth is recognized." "The island found at last where you will come some day." "The isle promised you, Oh, Sancho, my dear friend!" "The books are vanished now, Their ashes on the ground." "If all my books have brought me death, one book will make me live forever." "I will let the phantom lie, and therefore be immortal." "Such is the fate, the glory, of poor Don Quixote."
