"What have you been doing?" "Living in Cuba." "You?" "Modern warfare." "Fighting people who hide grenades in shopping baskets shoot up crowded hotels hack the legs off cattle, and leave them dying on their stumps." "That sort of thing." "Your friends..." "I have very few friends." "Do they toss bombs around?" "Shoot off guns?" "No, you do that" "Take the posters down." "Put them on the truck at the back." "Are you married?" "No." "But you are." "That should be enough for both of us." "We're very happy." "I remember, when I was once deeply and ridiculously in love" "I was at the same time profoundly unhappy." "That was me." "I did that to you, I made you unhappy." "I adored it." "I didn't." "Am I still beautiful?" "You used to think so." "I seem to remember you were very taken with me." "As a matter of fact, you were terrified that I was." "You got out of North Africa faster than Rommel." "Actually, he took his time." "Admit it, I terrified you." "Yes, I admit it." "I didn't know that so much passion could exist in one so young." "You were, in fact, the most exotic breath-stopping creature I'd ever known." "Quite a danger to my health."

"You didn't forget me." "You knew me at once." "Yes, I did and you haven't changed at all." "I hate coming to these filthy places." "I like these places." "I like you and I like places like this." "I used to bring someone else here." "Who?" "You don't still bring her, do you?" "Good heavens, no." "She's my wife." "When did you marry Juan Pulido?" "5 years ago." "Any children?" "No." "He doesn't beat you or anything dreadful like that, does he?" "What would you do if he did?" "Break his bloody neck." "Would you?" "Of course." "Want a drink?" "Yeah." "There might be something wrong with me." "Apart from your memory?" "I might be too ambitious, too demanding." "In fact, I am." "Tell me this..." "The only question you haven't asked me is why I came here to meet you." "Why did you come?" "Look out!" "Why did you?" "With an overwhelming majority the people of Cuba have elected Rlvero Aguero to hold the office of President" "General Batlsta has stated that this will show the world that Cuba" "Is in the forefront of democracy." "Free elections in a free country of the free world." "President-elect Aguero has a hard task ahead of him but the people of Cuba are behind him against Communism and the terror of revolution." "He will take office as Cuba's President at once and will meet with the Ambassador to the United States" "It jammed again last night." "You want a Coke?" "I don't have any money." "That's okay." "We want some kind of an explanation." "What's to explain?" "My sister's honor is important to me." "It was the work of a Yankee gangster" "My father, who is in prison if he is still alive he'd cut the balls from the cabron Pulido." "He'd punish the betrayer of my sister" "You had no right to do it You were given a task." "Which I did first." "The money for the gringo Skinner" "You were seen." "You can't stay on campus" "I've got to." "I can't risk flunking my courses." "It doesn't matter." "They'll be no more courses." "Now Aguero is elected there is going to be a general strike." "Here." "Here." "If you want to kill someone..." "The trigger mechanism jammed." "Take the.38" "Did you vote for him?" "No." "Nobody did." "Somebody must have." "Batista, who pays you." "No, I'm paid by General Bello" "Just as good." "You can be sure of your money." "Bello works the parking meters Batista pockets the lottery." "Don't you worry about where your money comes from?" "If what you say is true it appears I come under traffic offences" "It's true." "You don't get involved in any of this?" "No, I don't look too closely at anything that doesn't concern me." "Like having your factory used." "In Cuba, every building, every factory every hotel is being used, in some way, by someone." "There are things I know nothing about." "I don't turn stones over and so far my workers have not had a strike, and I am grateful." "Even a blind eye can be poked out" "I want you to come with me." "Where?" "Where?" "You haven't thought about it?" "It's only just being suggested to me." "Where?" "With me." "Far?" "Don't play games." "It's very short notice." "I don't see you for 15 years you turn up as if yesterday and say..." "No." "I can't go anywhere with anyone, on short notice." "I own a factory." "And I do have a husband." "He would have to be told if I was going anywhere, short notice or not." "I'm not asking you to go on a holiday." "Don't shout." "It's very nice of you and I know what you're saying." "But, I don't really know you, do I?" "You knew me when I was a silly girl of 15 17" "15" "I fell in love with a handsome British soldier" "Do you know what I remember most about you?" "Your knees." "You're being ridiculous." "I am not being ridiculous, I'm trying to prevent you from being ridiculous." "You're obviously not happy with your husband." "How do you know?" "If you loved him, you wouldn't allow me I didn't allow you to anything." "I made love to you." "And very nice it was, too." "Yes, wasn't it" "So?" "So nothing." "Nothing?" "Nothing." "Robert, please try to understand." "I have a house." "I enjoy having it." "I enjoy, yes, I enjoy having a husband who is a member of a very important Cuban family." "It's important to me to somebody like me" "Rubbish." "Don't shout and don't speak to me like that" "Things." "You're talking about things." "Factories, houses" "Husbands." "He means nothing to you" "How do you know?" "How do you know what Juan means to me or has meant to me?" "You don't." "If he means something to you then you shouldn't be here." "Don't pick that up!" "Don't shout!" "Then pick this up as well" "I don't know what the hell you're playing at." "I know you're unhappy." "You'll let me do nothing" "Don't you have a job to do?" "I'm going to do my job." "Then I'll see you sometimes." "No, you won't." "I see." "What did you say?" "I said I see" "I'm buggered if I do." "Wait!" "Stop!" "Good morning." "Get out." "I'm not hungry." "I'm starving." "Had a good night?" "Like to buy an airplane?" "No, not there, old man." "It's outside." "The whole of Havana is on strike." "Not the whole, not yet." "But it won't be long." "I had to walk up." "The elevator's out of action." "There you are, you see." "Power cut" "Now, then let's talk about my airplanes." "How much?" "How much can you offer?" "They ain't worth nothing." "They're going to be worth a very great deal." "People are going to want to get out." "They'll want to take out their goods and chattels." "Have you got a car?" "Yes, a pick-up." "Even better." "Here's what I'll do" "I'll buy your aircraft, I'll buy the cigars." "We'll get the cigars out right away." "I'll buy the Pulido place." "We'll make the first delivery today." "What is the world going to need?" "Havana cigars, right?" "Radio Rebelde, Rebel Rad..." "Why?" "Why has Rivero Aguero been elected?" "You did not cast a vote." "You stayed at home but Aguero was elected because the election was rigged by Batista" "What can you do?" "You can strike A general strike is called." "This is the voice of revolution coming from the men and women fighting for a new and free Cuba." "The end is near, very near 3,000 Batista soldiers are moving against us but they cannot win" "They will be defeated by us and by you" "Strike no telephones No transport no work in the factories" "Support the revolution tell us, Batista are you leaving now or later?" "We know you have five aircraft standing by for you and those pimps, pushers, prostitutes who have been faithful to you" "Tell us, Sgt Batista" "Jesus promised me there'd be no strike." "Where is Jesus?" "Get the guns out." "I think we've got a..." "Very well, I will go to the rum factory first and then I will come to you." "And, Ramon, lock up everything and remove the money." "Everybody throughout Cuba has stopped work." "That is, apart from servants, of course." "I've phoned Senor Pulido and..." "You had no right to do that, Ramon." "I can handle this." "Your husband was shot this morning." "He lasted a long time." "Yes, he did." "I must tell Julio." "Strike!" "Get out!" "Strike!" "Go on!" "Go on!" "Go on." "Keep your stupid old mouth shut, woman!" "Shut, do you hear?" "We're fighting for you!" "Come back!" "Of one thing I'm certain she's not involved." "So what's the drill?" "Try to get her as far away from the factory as possible before anything happens." "Old man Pulido should be told." "He'll be able to help." "Follow me!" "Line them up!" "Next!" "Next!" "Next!" "Next." "Nothing, eh?" "Next!" "Shoot him!" "Over there!" "Why were they shot?" "Perhaps they tried to escape." "From what?" "From being shot." "But how did they know they were rebels?" "Because they tried to escape." "Wouldn't you?" "Of course." "Are you a rebel?" "If I try to escape, I am." "Wasn't it the same in Malaya?" "You didn't know until they ran." "No, it wasn't." "Very well, you're here to teach us!" "It's over You're meant to be in charge!" "Who do you think you are?" "Down with him Did you see how he grabbed me?" "Who dared to allow this?" "They dared to" "What will you do?" "Me?" "Nothing." "I'm here merely to take your leavings, father." "Your houses, your old factories your old mistresses." "How dare you talk about your wife in that way." "You would think he'd be the last drunkard to leave Cuba." "Look at him!" "The last drunkard!" "You load the truck, I'll go and do the deal." "What is this, Labor Day?" "Go on." "Senora Pulido!" "All you've got to do is name the price, I'll buy the works." "The factory, every goddamn cigar you've got." "It's no problem." "This very day, I intend to fill a plane full of your cigars and fly with them to Miami" "All you've got to do is tell me how much." "You can stay here and run the factory for me until the whole shoot collapses." "All I want is 2 plane-loads a day" "I bought the trucks, I bought the planes." "There's a man behind you with a gun." "Oh, dear!" "Quiet!" "I will shoot this woman." "I don't doubt that you will." "Search him!" "Search him!" "With this you can go anywhere." "Can you read?" "I read law at the University of Havana." "I'm not in the least surprised." "But you can't use it without me." "There's a rather bad likeness stuck to it." "You'll come!" "Where?" "Load the guns." "Where are you taking them?" "To Santa Clara, to Fidel." "They are for the city." "We were told to wait here." "I'm taking them to Castro and you come with me!" "So you can say I was a Fidelista before it is too late for Fidel to notice you." "I shoot her first if any of you try anything." "Put the guns in the truck and cover them with cigars." "Come on, get up!" "Is there enough fuel in the old banana to get me to Miami?" "Si, Senor Right" "The water dump tanks are full." "It doesn't matter I'll drop it out on the way." "Have a... whatever you drink." "You are driving this car very badly!" "Perhaps you're not used to driving such an expensive car." "Perhaps." "What are you doing here?" "Fighting for a country that's not even yours." "I will fight for any elected government that cares to make me an offer for my services." "Would you fight for someone who paid you more?" "No, I would never fight with a gun to overthrow a legitimate government" "So you travel around the world deciding which governments are legitimate." "Wonderful!" "Oh God, guerrillas!" "No, but..." "I'm..." "Now, here." "They will come out at us from the cane fields." "I spoke to Batista." "I said our soldiers were tired and did not want to fight." "That is a fair assumption." "We'll see." "Anyway, we must hold onto the gasoline depot." "We must not lose that." "Have you any interests in oil?" "Yes, my family I am going to speak to Castro." "I am going to say to him" "Get rid of the Communists every goddamn Red in your army!" "If you don't make a deal, I'm going to harry and kill" "Harry and kill, you know?" "I know what you mean." "Good." "Okay, we're full here!" "Switch the flow on to 6" "What?" "Switch the flow on to 6" "Take this!" "Juan, take a look at this." "Come here." "Get up!" "Come on." "Here you go." "If the soldiers of the gangster Batista wish to surrender they will be well treated." "I repeat" "If the soldiers of the gangster Batista wish to surrender they will be well treated." "It is not a disgrace to surrender to your own revolution." "There is no honor in living a lie" "If you die now you will at least die a free man." "Come home Come to us" "We are you, you are us" "Stand still where you are and listen." "When you soldiers take prisoners who have fought for the revolution, you shoot them." "We, however, do not intend to shoot you." "You will be released, handed over to the Cuban Red Cross and eventually returned to your homes." "Those of you who are criminals who have been guilty of crimes of torture, murder you know who you are." "You may hide, but you'll be found." "The depot!" "Tell the tanks that the gasoline depot is swarming with Fidelistas" "Chambelona Red?" "Over" "Chambelona Red, I hear you, over" "Major Dapes" "That's right" "You said he was to be killed." "Be quiet, boy!" "Chambelona Red, this is Colonel Leyva You are to attack the gas depot, over" "Major, you're a paid soldier" "Of course I'm bloody well paid!" "We're not paid." "You're not soldiers." "Okay." "But though we aren't soldiers we're fighters" "And we are winning." "We'll say no to the Yankees we'll send them home I can't wait" "Then we'll fight the parasites that feed on the people" "The church, gangsters, soldiers." "You know soldiers are the worst parasites." "Don't talk to him, kill him!" "Keep quiet." "We're not going to kill anyone." "Let me then, I'll kill him." "Would you care to try without a gun?" "Give me that!" "No!" "I brought guns to you!" "There was a time when we needed guns now we need brains." "You go away and re-discover yours" "It isn't easy to be given a gun." "We make it a privilege." "What do you intend doing about thugs like him?" "It might be more to the point to ask what they intend to do about us" "Back!" "Get down!" "You can drive a car?" "Then you can drive a tank!" "Come on!" "No." "What are you doing?" "Want to go home?" "Yeah!" "Then come on!" "Move it back!" "Come on." "Get out!" "Look out!" "Come on!" "It's just the same as a car" "Yeah, but mine's automatic." "Where's the goddamn wheel?" "What are you doing?" "Pull on the sticks!" "What?" "Chambelona Red, this is Colonel Leyva Do you hear me?" "Over" "Got him!" "Who?" "Get us off the road!" "What?" "Another one's coming!" "Stick!" "Pull the left stick!" "Stick!" "Yes!" "I can't see anything!" "Keep it going!" "You're over-revving!" "Change gear!" "You're flooding it!" "Can I help?" "Make bandages out of this." "That way you won't ruin your nails, sweetheart." "Come on, move!" "Get us going!" "Get her!" "Soldier!" "Someone!" "Get them!" "Shoot straight!" "Come on!" "Shoot the guns!" "Shoot them!" "Come here, come on!" "Come on, move!" "Quickly!" "Come on, hurry up!" "You'll roast in there!" "Come on!" "I can't" "Back!" "Go back!" "What are you doing?" "Come on!" "They're going to bomb us!" "Must've been one of ours" "We've done it, Spence." "I never thought we would." "We've got them to balance." "Sure have." "Do you want to go out and see something of Havana now?" "Sure." "Take the other one, this one's mine!" "Okay." "But be quick, Bello might come back!" "Quick, let's go." "Pack your things just as quickly as you can." "It'll take time to clear you with the British Consulate and arrange your ticket." "I'll send the car back straightaway from the airport." "Where has she been?" "My wife?" "With you?" "Yes, she's been with me." "Am I expected to take her back?" "No, you're not expected to take her back." "Where are you going to take her?" "Out of Cuba." "Why?" "Cuba won't change." "A few people will leave." "My father will go away for a while." "Batista will go away for a little longer and then they will both come back." "Once again, Batista will get his face on the front of Time Magazine." "Whatever you say." "I want her out of here." "Stop talking about me as if I'm not here!" "Robert, you don't understand." "I don't want to leave Cuba ever again." "I regard those years spent away as lost time." "There was nothing, and I include you, Robert nothing that made them memorable." "No, I cannot go with you." "Stay here with me." "I know what I've done to you and me." "But if you take me away from here I wouldn't seem the same to you." "You don't understand, do you?" "You're right, I don't understand." "I don't understand you or him or his father or even myself sitting here bloody well discussing!" "Get in." "I'll send the car back." "It's up to you." "What do you think will happen to you come the revolution?" "Mind your own business, Senor" "Thank you." "That seems a perfectly reasonable reply, chum." "It's not like you to be so unselfish." "It's not like you to notice." "Where are the keys to the sports car?" "In the car." "Where are you going?" "For a drive." "You will be back?" "Pan American regrets to announce that all scheduled flights are cancelled." "You will be informed when aircraft are available." "Please hold onto your ticket and await further information." "Here, sweetie, come here." "Thank you." "There are no prospects of any further flights in the foreseeable future." "Passengers should not leave the airport as seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis." "It's Batista!" "Running away!" "It is Batista!" "He is going again, look!" "The ship must be sinking." "Cubana Alr" "The excess baggage regulations will not be waived" "Please make sure that you are only carrying that which is absolutely essential" "No, leave it." "Come on!" "The forces of the revolution are on their way to Havana and at their head is the man they call El Caballo Fidel Castro, their leader" "They arrive in buses, carts anything that has wheels." "It has taken 7 days for this march 7 days up the Carretera Central..." "Mommy!" "Soldiers!" "Keep quiet and come with me." "Just stay with me."
