"I'm not mad at you." "I've already forgiven you." "Would you be willing to swallow swords?" " Swallow what?" " Swords, it's the easiest there is." "You stand like this." "The sword doesn't have a blade." "And you swallow the whole thing." "It's easy, and there's no danger." " And why don't you swallow it?" " Because I'm your presenter." "No, no, I'm not swallowing it." "If you want, I'll present you." "You, present me?" "Moron!" "Indian!" "I'm an Indian?" "And what are you?" "European!" "Io sono europeo!"

"Step on, get up there." "Don't be scared, you're not going to fall." "Hey kid, don't worry, we're going to make you look good." "Hey, don't mess with him, man." "C'mon, mount, don't be afraid, don't worry about them." "No, no, I'm not mounting." " Let's go, kid, mount." " No, I don't know how." "You don't know how?" "I'm gonna kill you." "I swear it." "I don't know how." "I'm scared." "C'mon, c'mon." "Get up there." "No, sir!" "No, sir!" "It looks like he's gotten away." "We have some tracks here." "Film crew!" "Can you take me?"

" They wanted me to mount a horse." "If you keep it up, you're gonna make me cry too, Charlie." " Calm down." " They want me to mount a horse." "All you need is a little practice, that's all." "It's alright, Charlie." "What's up, kid?" "The Italian producer's going to fire us all." "I don't want to mount, sir." "He'll mount, he'll mount." "He's like a child." "What's wrong with you?" "He's making us lose time." "It's simple." "Grab the flag and jump off the cliff with the horse and all." "What did he say?" "It's simple." "Grab the flag and get on the horse." "And then, with the horse and all, you jump off the cliff." " Ah, shit." " Take it easy..." "How can I "take it easy," I can't take it easy" "With all of these animals." "Let's see." "He's alive."

"Let's go, Charlie." "He's a genius." "The midget's a genius." "If you want, I'll leave." " No, why?" " So you can chat in peace." "Are you crazy or something?" "You're with me, right?" "Here he comes." "I want some bread." " This is..." " Waiter!" "This is Charlie." "The Memory Cowboy." "What's up, man?" "You wanted to talk to me?" "Carmen, long time no see, eh?" "Come here!" "Alright, I wanted to..." " Is there a bathroom?" " There, in the back." " The usual." " No, nothing for me, I'm good." "I'm doing fine, too." "We have some sensational memory routines." "We just shot a film." "You see how handsome he is?" "Charlie Bronson!" "Milk?" "Yes, milk." "What did you want to talk about?" "Carmen." "Carmen." "Why don't we work together again?" "Do you remember?" "How the people used to applaud..." "How they would laugh..." "It was..." "We were destined for glory." "And the cowboy?" "What cowboy?" "Your friend, the cowboy." "That fool?" "No, he's a moron." "A moron." "An Indian." "I found him in the country." "He's hard-headed." "I was just telling him that if we get back together," "He has to go." "Who's "we"?" "Us." "That's what I'm saying." "I told him that if we get back together..." "He has to go back home." "You're always the same dirtbag." " What's the matter with you?" " Always the same dirtbag." "Why do you want to work with me?" "To sell me to another circus?" "Me?" "I didn't sell you." "Yes, you swapped me for 100,000 pesos and crept out in the night." " Me?" " Yes, you, you!" "I had to work in that circus for one year until I escaped!" "But I swear I didn't sell you." "The thing is..." "They threatened me, you know." "They said they would kill me if I didn't leave you." "Lies!" "You lost me in a card game!" "I swear by all the saints." "What saints?" "Didn't you say you were a communist?" "Me, a communist?" "Swear on this that I'm a communist!" "I don't know what's wrong with me." "I feel bad." "So, he's a moron?" "An Indian?" "Why don't you say it now?" "You're nuts." "I said that?" "Yeah, you said it." "You're a shitty little dwarf." "An ulcerous dwarf." "No wonder you drink milk." "What do you think you are?" "You think you're indispensable?" "At every circus I've been, I've had a ton of dwarves." "A ton!" "And they were tinier than you!" "I hope you grow up." "So you starve to death." "Let's go, Charlie." "You know what the problem is, Charlie?" "This country's not big enough for us." " We've got to go to Europe." " To Europe?" "Yes, to Europe, to Europe!" "The actors there are all fags." "With your manly looks, we'll knock'em all dead." "All you're missing is a little bit of concentration." " What?" " No, nothing." "But how?" "Don't worry, leave it to me." "Have I ever done you wrong?" "Firmly and without hesitation, what is the gentleman's number?" "The gentleman has cap number 14994/33." "You see, Charlie?" "All we needed was a little bit of concentration." "Incredible, people!" "Come and see!" "It's a show worth seeing!" "Come one and come all, people!" "Right here!" "Come and see!" "Ladies and gentlemen, come and see this special show," "Trapeze artists, jugglers, balancing acts, ponies, clowns, dog weddings," "The one and only in the world, Come and see!"
