"Welcome, then." "May your efforts be rewarded with great success." "And now, the main event of this evening." "The shooting of the coronation of Orélie Antoine I." "Since this scene is so important we beg you to be quiet..." "Brothers why has this war only brought poverty and disaster?" "Why?" "Tell me why if you've astonished the world with your courageous fight for freedom and independence." "Why such an outcome?" "Because up to now you've fought separately and never trusted your brothers." "Natural law, international law..." "Arturo, what's all this?" "Why are we doing all this?" "We're doing the coronation, David." "Take it easy." "That's why I've come here." "To give myself to you." "And to give you a constitution." "Long live the union of all tribes under one chief and one flag!" "Long live!" "Long live the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia!" "Long live!" " Long live New France." " Long live!"

"Poetry!" "If I told you the problems I have at the bank..." "Arturo!" "Arturo!" " What is it?" " Please, Arturo..." "Go away!" "Arturo!" "Excuse me, I'll be right back." "I must go." "You city people!" "You come and go." "I must go on shooting." "Okay, go." "This doesn't feel right." "This doesn't feel right." "It was quite a success." "Banks lend money only to those who have money." "The Culture Department is very enthusiastic, but they're broke." "No one showed up from the Tourism Department." "And my checkbook has wings."

"I'll go with you." " Go to bed." " I'm not sleepy, I'll go with you." "I'm glad I didn't tell you before." "I was looking for you!" " Will they follow us?" " Cover yourself up, please!" "Get out." " Come on, get out." " Were we followed?" "No, nobody followed us, get out." "Won't you say a word?" "Won't you even say you're sorry?" "I'm sorry." "Don't you worry, darling." "You got it all wrong." "You didn't need a character nor a woman." "I got it wrong too." "We just made a mistake, that's all." " You won't leave before the bus comes, right?" " No, I won't leave." "It's a long trip." "I'll be hungry." "Here." "Look, Arturo I'm not sorry for what I did." " I didn't force him..." " Okay, okay, it's okay." "Why do I feel so ashamed then?" "I don't know." "Okay, let's go, let's go." "Lula!" "Lula, come on!" "Your move will be beautiful." "It'll be a great success." "Everybody will love it." "Don't look at them." "They've been murdered, but don't look at them." "Don't stop." "You're a king." "Kings must hold back his feelings."

" You stay here, don't move." " What's wrong?" " I didn't do it!" " Tell me what's wrong!" " I swear I..." "Don't waste your time, Arturo, it's useless." "I swear, I didn't do it!" "Okay, let's go, everybody get on the bus." "Hurry up, don't forget anything." "Now what?" "You relax, just shoot the movie." "Come on!" "Bonano up yours with your orphanage!" "What's wrong now?" "That's what we'd like to know." "We were kicked from the orphanage." "We want to know what's next." " We're hungry." " Let me in." "Listen, we'll get some tents from the army." "They're first rate tents." "Then we'll reschedule everything." "As the cast shop steward I'm worried about one thing where are we going to eat?" "First the tents, then lunch." "We still have a lot of money available." "Really?" "I don't owe you any explanation!" "Then I won't listen to you!" "We either eat and sleep in a decent place or we quit."

"Surrender, Frenchman!" "You're surrounded!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Don't force us to shoot!" "You're alone!" "Treason!" "This is the best we can do." "Now we must work things out and get everything under control." "Right?" "I shouldn't think  I loved you." "It's better to forget  than to suffer."

"I need dummies." " What?" " Dummies." "20 or 30 of each kind." "We'll shoot the rest with dummies." "It makes sense." "Of course it does." "When Orélie realizes he's been betrayed everything becomes unreal for him." "People don't understand him so he can't consider them human." "In his mind, the soldiers who arrest him are dummies." " Yes..." " He sees them through the eyes of a lunatic." "He's crazy, do you get it?" "That's why he sees everybody, judges, soldiers as if they were dummies, all of them are dummies!"

"People look at you as if your were a freak in a circus." "Nobody wants you." "They send you from court to court." "They're afraid of you, Frenchman, afraid!" "At last, today sentence was passed." "You disrupted public order, incited to rebellion." "And what does the court say?" "Neither the gallows nor the firing squad." "They declared you insane, Your Highness!" "The cowards've declared you insane and they'll deport you." "In case we should die soon, ...we think we must make a will and last testament." "The Crown of Araucania and Patagonia will be bequeathed to Jean de Tounens, our beloved father." "Should he refuse it, to Jean de Tounens, our beloved brother." "Should he refuse it, to his son, Adrjen Jean de Tounens and to his heirs in succession in perpetuity." "It's my personal check." "You can trust me." "If it bounces, I'll go to jail." "What good is that to me?" "I'm telling you I'll go to jail." "No, brother, no." "Work is work and money is money." "This is like money." "Listen, Oso the movie is almost finished." "The return of the king and..." "I don't have any cash right now." "Me neither." "If there's no money I'll quit." " You're a scumbag!" " Wait..." " Fucking blackmailer!" " Take it easy."

" Who?" " Pedro Borques, the fake Inca." "The Andalusian who rouse 4,000 Indians to revolt against the Spaniards in the Calchaquíes Valleys in the xvii century." "Quite a story!" "The fake Inca." "Can you imagine?" "4,000 Indians led by an Andalusian swindler." "It's quite a story."
