"Pedro Armendariz as Pancho Villa, and" "Maria Elena Marques, as Jesusita from Chihuahua, in:" "And so was Pancho Villa." "This story is but a handful of tales, in which the people have expressed gratefulness and justice, towards Pancho Villa." "I have chosen to tell these tales as if they where fact... and I will tell them my way." "Ismael Rodrigues (Director)" "I designed this tomb, cheerful one, so that when I would die, my bones should rest here." ""Here rests Francisco Villa 1878-1923"" "No one rests here" "Even now, people come, with respectful intentions, to admire the letters that make up my name." "I am grateful to them." "But as I recall, I am much further away." "Here, in Parral." "In this small cemetary of the poor." "And it's not that I am not happy here, because, as I understand it, a man that wishes to rest, all he need is not to be disturbed." "And if he is amongst the poor, its better." "Because the poor are a quiet people, busy with their own affairs." "I, Pancho Villa, or Dorotheo Arango, rest in this grave." "Halfways," "And I say halfways, because my body is here, but without my head." "But let's go to where some foreigners took it." "I am now in a place where things that might be useful someday pile up." "But before, they had me in places called "Institutes."" "Where they study how someone thinks, and why." "And this, I find humorous." "Since, I, the owner of my own head, never knew what was inside of it, it will be tough for others to find that out." "And since I have always put my best face forward.... well now... well then, I will tell you some tales as they came back to me, in no particular order." "And this is the fault of the sages, that by trying to figure my head out, they did it with such scientific candor, that the mixed up all my memories." "I will also change some of the names of people from back then, as to not offend anyone." "Do not expect to hear my story as a revolutionary." "Many have told that one, and they usually get it wrong." "I will tell you bits about my life, so you may know me as a person, and not just as a partisan , or a bandit." "Thou shalt not kill!" "Right flank!" "Halt!" "Detachment!" "Prepare, arms!" "Take aim!" "Fire!" "Long live Madero!" "No, Pancho!" "You have not done well!" "You keep on forgiving your enemies, then!" "And you will see how one of these days, your enemies will kill you!" "Perhaps then, with my death, I shall have accomplished more, than I have accomplished in my life." "That's just talk, Mr. Madero." "You just let me keep fighting my way, and when the enemies of the cause are gone, you then can govern with only words." "No, Pancho." "Shooting five Rural Police, nineteen officers, and two elected officials, is something the revolution cannot allow!" "But it is you who has said we must remove the weeds!" "Yes, but remove it from the heads and hearts of the oppressors." "Not take their lives." "You heard it, tell your boys!" "So then, I am sacked?" "The revolution allows only one ideal, one trajectory." "Are you willing to abide by it?" "The way you want it?" "no!" "You are dismissed." "Compadre, we are with you!" "Lads!" "Long live Villa!" "Live!" "Long live Villa!" "Live!" "No!" "Not long live Villa!" "Long live Madero!" "I said long live Madero!" "Live!" ""I trust upon Captain Francisco Villa, the grade of Colonel."" ""February 28,1911." "Franciso I. Madero"" "The Heretic" "Let's go!" "The right flank is ready, Compadre." "The left flank is as well, General." "The artillery is in place, General." "and General Martinez?" "General Martinez...has betrayed us." "in this decisive moment!" "What do we do now, General?" "Begin the artillery barrage at 0600." "That will be the signal for the assault." "Now go, and brief your men." "I shall do the same." "Good luck." "Good luck." "Good luck, Compadre!" "Lads." "The majority of our forces have betrayed us." "They are no longer with us." "This is why we must now fight harder than ever before!" "Because we are less." "And if you think we are going to loose, you are wrong!" "I swear to you we will win!" "We fight, for the good of the people!" "And its better to die,so the country may live, than to be alive, with a dead country." "And since death is ours, with death we will take that town!" "I believe that the justice from above, shall be with us." "And if it is not with us, we shall make our own justice!" "Long live Villa!" "The attack will begin in ten minutes." "I'll be back." "Lord, you know, better than anyone, that I am a heretic." "That is why I have never asked anything of you." "But now, the need is great!" "Even when they say you only listen to the good, the children, and such." "I have killed many." "But even so, I know you will hear me." "and I am not asking for myself, but for my brothers in blood, and in race." "Help us win this battle!" "So that we may finally end bad government!" "and may your mother forgive me," "The Virgin of Guadalupe, because I am not asking her, but, this is the business of men." "Lord?" "Make it so that we win this battle." "and don't take too many of my boys." "I know no one knows when he shall die, but If its my time," "wait until the battle is won, then, then cut me down!" "I know you will understand me." "They say, you led men as well." "and for them, you let yourself be killed upon a cross." "thank you , Lord." "And now," "Its in your hands." "Amen." "A Macabre Wedding." "What do you want?" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Let me go!" "No!" "No!" "I won't take anything from you," "I just want to give you lots of kisses." "No!" "Oh no?" "Mommie!" "Please let me go, you are scaring my children!" "Let me go!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Juan!" "Why did you kill that man, who was the only source of sustenance for his family?" "You made this woman a widow, the children, orphaned." "Why, Corporal!" "I was a bit crossed." "Why, you really like this woman that much?" "Plenty, my General." "So you killed out of passion?" "Ok then." "Say, Mr. Secretary?" "At your service, General." "Have a squad escort Corporal Hilario Sanchez to the judge, and get him married, but right now!" "I do not understand this very well, General." "You want the judge to have him married?" "or "tied down"" "To have him marry the widow, as man and wife!" "And you Luisito, go along so you can be Godfather on my behalf." "Thanks a lot, General!" "Tell me, General." "This Corporal killed in cold blood, and you are to reward him?" "I did not ask for your approval, Mr. Secretary." "You take them, get them married, and bounce them back here." "As you wish, General." "No!" "No, please, let me go, please!" "I don't want to marry him, no!" ""The Wise Judgements of King Salomon"" "Man!" "I tell you, this Salomon was sharp like an axe!" "General, don't take this as a disrespect, but, but I think you are quite twisted." "You are right, Fierro, my back has been hurting me." "No sir, I am refering to Corporal Hilario." "What about it?" "Well, first you send him off to get married, then you talk about a wedding present," "I just don't understand it." "General." "Your order has been carried out." "Very well." "Madame?" "Congratulations." "You are now Mrs. Sanchez." "Corporal, accompany Fierro, so that, on behalf of the Regiment, you recieve your wedding present." "Thank you godfather!" "Thank you!" "The same day delivery has been carried out, General." "You killed him?" "Totally!" "Madame?" "you are not destitute any more." "You are a widow again, but now from Corporal Sanchez, and you will recieve his pension." "Here, this is your marriage certificate, which affirms your right to his pension." "Thank you General!" "Go on." "Here you go kids, get some candy." "Good luck." "Go on." "Now I understand that whole wedding present thing." "Say, General, when I get married," "I don't want you for a Godfather." "What a Fine Lad." "Careful, General!" "There could be more of them inside!" "You go take a look." "I don't see anyone!" "They could not have been more than a dozen, they should have fled." "We can't deny they fought like real men." "Compadre?" "Yes?" "Have them buried with military honours." "Luisito?" "Search the house, until the owner is found." "Yes, General." "Go on!" "Hold it!" "I want him alive!" "Here, take him to the doctor!" "That, was my last cartridge." "Hang him!" "You are still a cattle rustler!" "Shut your face!" "It has been a while since I did that business, my friend." "I am now a soldier of the revolution." "A real General does not have an enemy hung after his surrender!" "Really?" "does he reward him instead?" "He has him shot!" "A career officer knows his life can end in the battlefield, or before a firing squad!" "But not on a rope, like a bandit!" "Like a coward!" "And I am neither!" "Let him go." "You speak quite eloquently." "Go on." "I, with ten men, waged battle against your two hundred." "I carried out my duty until exhausting my ammunition and my men." "I kept a bullet, to die with honour." "But I chose to use it on you instead!" "I regret I did not kill you." "I appreciate your honesty, my friend." "I like you." "Have him shot!" "But, with all military honours!" "May I get some fire, please?" "Oh, you want some fire?" "Should I burn him right now?" "Fierro!" "said with all honours." "Light the Captain's cigar." "Well then, go git, your grace!" "The burials are taking place, General." "And the owner of the manor?" "We are looking for him." "Bring out the books from the plantation store." "Like the lightning, Compadre!" "Ready, General." "Fierro?" "We will continue doing things in the military tradition." "Captain?" "What is your last request?" "Let me finish my cigar." "It hurts me having to kill those that are brave." "If it wasn't that you lethaly shot one of my most valued men," "I may have spared your life." "It's a shame, General," "You deny me the joy of refusing a kindness that I would have never accepted." "It's a shame this lad chose the wrong side." "I would have liked to have him amongst our ranks, even if he is stubborn." "General?" "The books from the plantation store." "Set them on fire." "Well then, now your debts, those of your children, of your parents, and your granparents, are burning before you." "You owe nothing to no one!" "Now, open the silos, and from the manor house, let the people take what they need!" "Long live Villa!" "And you!" "Don't give your children a bad example!" "A man, kisses no one's hand, you hear me, no one, you hear me!" "That is why we are waging this revolution!" "Fierro?" "What is it, General?" "That young Captain." "What about him?" "That, before dying, he wants to show us how brave he is." "look at the ashes on the cigar." "He is not trembling at all." "What a fine lad!" "Are you ready, friend?" "I would like to ask for something else." "Ask." "I don't like the face on that man that will carry out my execution." "It's the only one I have!" "We can't all be born again just to please you!" "Ready!" "Take aim!" "Hold!" "I can't say I disagree with him completely." "What do you want instead, Captain?" "For you to be the one to order the platoon." "Can it be done?" "It can." "Damn this kid." "He makes it difficult for me." "I am wanting to pardon him." "And if Luisito dies?" "Take aim!" "Fire!" "General?" "They have pulled the bullet from Luisito." "And the doctor says it is not lethal." "What a shame!" "He was a fine lad!" "The General and his Women" "Well then, gentlemen Federals, I must leave you, see you soon." "Thank you." "Will you be staying in the captal?" "I am no fool!" "This same night, since the war is over,I will go back to my land, to live in peace." "We all tought you would take seat as President." "Who, me?" "Never, ever!" "And print in your newspaper, that the only seat worth anything to me, is on my horse." "Is the train on time?" "It is delayed somewhat, General." "Your girlfriend is on it." "My girlfriend!" "Sounds queer, doesn't it." "But now I will get married for ever." "It is due time I settled down." "Didn't you hear!" "Move aside for your your General!" "Move aside!" "Move it, I said!" "And tell Pancho, that Paula does not need sentries!" "Now scram!" "Paula!" "Pancho!" "It has been so long since we been together!" "We will be for even longer, for the rest of our lives!" "What!" "That I am glad to see you Paula, but this will be the last time." "What is all this about last times, I am your woman!" "The one that risked her life with you in the trenches!" "I loaded your guns and unloaded your sorrows." "And if I gambled my life by your side, it is fair that I live it now, or what!" "Yes, quite fair but..." "You swore to me many times, in between bullets and kisses, that you would love me above anyone!" "Now, if you are backing down like a mangy dog, just say it!" "You taught me to talk straight, or what!" "Yes Paula," "What I said, I said it from the heart!" "And I have not had an understanding as I did with you." "And we will continue to understand each other!" "Thank you , Paula." "I was making a blind misteake, and you opened my eyes." "Wait for me in your room, I will be back." "Know that I kissed that Paula, I know she is the one I love." "And what will you do with your girlfriend on the train?" "Quite the situation, right, but I will fix it." "I will go meet Dora." "Better go see Lupita," "Lupita?" "but she is far away in Chihuaha, where she lives." "She might live over there, but right now, she is the closest, she is in the garden." "Oh damn!" "I will get rid of her right now!" "Please take a seat, Luisito." "Lupita!" "What are you doing here!" "Following your orders!" "What, what where those?" "That when the war was over, I should look for you." "And well..." "I have found you." "Always such a sweetheart." "Well, that's what you like." "Sit down." "You know, Lupita, I was thinking, you deserve the best of men." "That is why I have you." "Yes, but... a man of good," "of level character," "I prefer how you are!" "But one...one that is younger!" "And who is not as ugly." "I preffer a brave one, like you." "Dammit!" "you always get the last word!" "I am no good for you, Lupe!" "You don't love me anymore!" "Ok then..." "I did not want to be a bother." "I did not want to upset you." "And as not to be a nuisance,I ..." "I better just leave." "I feel its for the best." "Pancho!" "Good bye!" "Take care of yourself!" "I was so wrong, Lupita, don't say anything, wait here, I will be back!" "Now that I have kissed Lupita, I know that it is she who I love the most." "Oh what, does not one have a rigth to be wrong twice?" "Absolutely, General!" "But the third one is the breaker!" "Get a load of that?" "They grew back!" "Aha, are you coming, Pancho?" "Of course!" "Take a seat, Luisito." "Yes, they did grow back." "Damn that father of yours, cutting off these beautiful things!" "Just because I fancied them!" "Yes, you liked them for the bridle of your horse." "but it was I who you handled with them." "remember how?" "Sure!" "Like this!" "Well, here you have them again, and now, for the rest of our lives!" "Or what, Would you have another man handle them?" "Never!" "Then...?" "Then...the thing is, I am quite crossed." "Wait for me here a bit, let's see if I can get uncrossed." "Very well, Mayor, I will inform the General." "Yes..." "I kissed her... and it is she who I love the most." "But know what?" "I am not leaving with her." "And know what's more?" "I am not leaving with the rest of the lot." "And know why?" "Because I am an ingrate!" "and a disgrace!" "and the fault is of this heart the size of a courtyard that I have!" "Because each woman I have told I love, it was the truth, I do love her!" "And that's the bad part, if I loved them so much, why should I have left them?" "You did not leave them, General, it is the war that separated you." "Do not make ammends for me!" "Each one of them, has given me a bit of her life." "And now, I can't choose among them who will be my partner for life." "That would be an offense to them." "So now what?" "Well, since I can't live without a woman by my side," "I will marry the one I said I was going to marry, with Miss Dora, who is far removed from the rest." "and who is the one you truly love?" "That is what I believe to be true." "What's more, General, I must inform you of the bad news, your train is here." "And why is that bad news?" "Because it's full of women who are looking for you." "Me?" "Yes, demanding their rights." "They are women soldiers who where left here and there, and now are looking for their men." "Well then, help those girls find their men!" "We well know where those men are, but since it's three broads per head, they don't know what to do." "Damn!" "This is a grave situation." "This turned into a pandemic!" "Yes, but it was due to contagion." "For the moment, have flowers sent to my girlfriend, that is the correct thing to do, right Luisito?" "Yes, General." "What kind of flowers?" "Well, an assortment." "And do not let the women soldiers off the train." "And take my three wives, to the station." "Oh man, you are going to get them together?" "Together!" "Fierro... what you would you do in his place?" "Me?" "I would put all four of them before a firing squad, right now!" "Excuse me, I am looking for General Villa." "You too!" "As I have said Luisito, when God says scrub, it rains brooms." "May I inquire as to the reason for your visit?" "You know, I have just become a widow, and would like for him to resolve... a little problem." "And we ourselves could not help?" "You two?" "No, thanks." "Where could I find the General?" "He went to resolve other "little problems" at the train station." "Excuse me." "General, how did you come in?" "How?" "the same way as always." "We can never expect the same way from you, General." "General, your three wives are in place." "Each one in a different car." "The flower in their place, and the women soldiers in theirs." "Well done, I am on my way, wait for me here." "General Francisco Villa?" "At your service." "Pardon me, it shames me to trouble you." "see, I have just become a widow, and would like for you to solve... a little problem." "I will see to it shortly, I have an urgent affair at the moment, excuse me." "Long live Villa!" "Women of the revolution!" "Each one of you, has come seeking the man you feel you have a right to." "But you are quite misteaken." "Many of you, have lost your men on the field of battle." "And, not resigned to grief, you found another soldier to help win our cause." "For that, no one can say you where bad women." "To the contrary, we revolutionaries are not men for just one woman, or woman of just one man." "We are men and women, of the revolution!" "Long live Villa!" "Now we are at peace, and we must live on in a different manner." "Woman must no longer seek out man, it is he who must go looking for her." "And if he does not return, it is because he did not love her." "And if he does not love her, it is best for him to never return." "So, return to your homes." "Each one of us will return where his heart pulls him, or the blood calls him." "Because a woman who has really enthralled a man, always lives in his mind." "And sooner or later, he will go find her." "We may not see each other again." "But I believe that what you have done, is sowed a nation." "and now, you are in the fields of Mexico, and the fields of the heart of Francisco Villa." "Thank you girls, and good bye!" "Long live Villa!" "How is it going, Dorita?" "Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Francisco." "it was a gentleness from your part." "What is this about Mr. Francisco?" "And how should I call you?" "Oh no, I do not know how," "When I court women, I never think about what I say." "You, are so different." "Seems like one will offend you with a word." "as if one, should really mind his words as to not hurt you." "call me what you like!" "and, teach me how I should call you so I may please you." "You know, I have never been afraid of a woman, but you," "I am scared to death!" "I do not understand why?" "Neither do I!" "Maybe, If I would tell you the lovely and proper things that I feel, I will tell them wrong." "And you will laugh at me." "Words do not matter, but where they are coming from." "In your case, they must come from the heart." "I like that." "And I swear to you I will speak in the same manner." "Damn, seems like a lie that a lovely lady like yourself, will spend all her life, by the side of a bum like myself." "Excuse me, I should not have said bum, right?" "I told you!" "I screwed up!" "Excuse me." "What's wrong?" "oh, it's nothing." "Something is wrong." "Look, I agreed to the marriage arrangement with your parents, because they wanted it." "Maybe I screwed that up." "But, because I am honest, I expect honesty." "Tell me, what's wrong?" "Mr. Francisco," "I cannot decieve you." "My parents promised you my hand in marriage, and I will not renege on that promise." "but it is also my right to tell you, that I do not want to marry you." "And I am the one that turns them down." "why?" "because we are not of the same class?" "no, because I do not love you." "I had a boyfriend, and it is he who I love." "They say I will be President." "and I believe it." "You don't dig that whole Presidential chair thing?" "It is not on the Presidential chair where I want to sit with who will be my husband." "All is well for the well borne!" "That is how I like my women!" "And if only there was no other man, I don't know how, but I would make you love me!" "If that is how it is, oh well." "Ok then, cutie, let all these bouquets, be your wedding gift." "Thank you General!" "You are such a good man!" "Never do that again, or I will change my mind!" "You know... you better not." "Luisito, I think he is on the train." "Don't say foolish things, he would have told us, left us his orders." "My problems are over." "But now you are alone, General." "It's for the best." "That will be my penance for always having made women suffer." "Oh damn, seems like I will have to attend to the widow after all." "Have some respect for your General!" "Mind your manners!" "well then, Madame, tell me, what is that little problem?" "The Colonel Priest." "Well then, Secretary, go over there and tell them to surrender the ammunition." "And since we knew they are not many, and dont want to kill them all, we will not even enter the town." "Go on." "Yes, General." "Hold on!" "No white flags!" "We must attack!" "Do you not feel the same, gentlemen Generals?" "Sure!" "Yes sir!" "Did you not hear my order?" "Yes, General." "wel, go git then!" "General Villa, your sentimentalism seems absurd to us." "In that town is the arsenal that supplies the Federal forces of this region." "We must take it at all costs!" "That is what I am doing, am I not!" "No." "You are carrying out your will without our counsel." "And I must remind you, that us four form part of the Revolutionary Council." "General Villa, the wounded man has died." "Why do you interrupt, Colonel Fierro!" "We are discussing affairs of the outmost importance!" "The only thing that is important to me is my men!" "Have him buried." "General Villa, what is happening... what is happening is for you not to mess with my men!" "Only I may reprimand them!" "General Villa does not wish for more bloodshed." "And we know that you only have fifty men." "Tell General Villa we appreciate the kindness." "But if he has a duty, we have ours." "We will not surrender the ammunition, and we will defend the town up to the last man." "Very well, Colonel." "Colonel, we will not be able to repulse them, should we blow the arsenal?" "That will leave the troops of Colonel Cabrera without ammunition." "But if we do not destroy it, It will fall into Villa's hands." "Villa is on his way to the Revolutionary Council," "He will take the town for the ammo, but will not remain." "Give me ten soldiers, the rest must mount a defence." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "Fierro!" "...angels of God, present this soul before the allmighty." "General?" "Colonel Triana almost has his own army of deacons." "The priest and his men, also risk their lives!" "General?" "What's up?" "They will fight to the last man, General." "What a shame." "We will have to attack." "Sound the assembly call." "Time for mass, altar boys!" "Don't you hear the bells?" "Attention!" "Halt!" "Continue." "Continue the prayer." "...grant him eternal rest." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "To your horses!" "Now its the time General." "We are now ready to fight, with Holy water." "how clever!" "Shut up, Fierro!" "Command the attack." "Me?" "Thank's, General!" "Your orders, Colonel." "Reach Colonel Cabrera in San Andres." "Tell him where the ammunition is chached." "and tell him Villa will not stay in the town." "you understand?" "Yes, Colonel." "Take the best horse you can find, and don't stop until you get there!" "Understood, Colonel." "Hurry up!" "We don't have much time!" "Gather their brave souls, Oh Lord, and grant those that lie here eternal peace." "They where brave, that is why they are great soldiers." "Yes General, can't argue with that." "Very brave, but very ..." "Fierro!" "General, the prisoner is dying." "He will not tell us where the ammo is." "All he does is ask for a priest." "Dammit!" "Let's see, Colonel Triana, go and attend to the ailing man." "maybe he will thell you where the bullets are." "By the devil!" "Where is the ammo, talk!" "...a priest...please!" "Catholics find it very ugly to die without confession, right?" "If you talk, I will bring you a priest," "If you don't..." "I will finish you off right now!" "Colonel!" "One cannot the deny the right to die at peace with God." "Don't get involved." "The church has no business here." "this is the rebellion!" "God is in all places." "If you preffer," "I remind you it is military law not to kill a wounded enemy." "Don't get involved...!" "Go and get out!" "The priest will perform a confession." "Go on Mr. Priest, hear his confession." "General, we are wasting time, that Colonel is dying!" "I know what I am doing!" "That ammo is not turning up, General!" "They could not have eaten it." "Since they did not blow it up, it has to be around here, keep looking." "Fierro, when Triana is done, have him meet me up here, I am with the Generals." "...I absolve you," "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen." "Father..." "I will tell you my last request..." "Speak." "I want this to be part of my confession." "I have carried out my duty." "And only you can help me complete it." "My last request, is that you indicate to Colonel Cabrera, who will be here tomorrow." "The place where we cached a great quantity of ammunition, property of the Government" "It is buried...at the cemetary...in the last five graves." "My son..." "Please do this, Father, I beg of you!" "I cannot carry out this request." "I am also an officer in Villa's forces." "Calm yourself." "I cannot carry out this request." "But you wished it to be part of your confession." "That is sacred to me." "The secrecy of confession." "Allright boys, go get some coffee, I will stand guard here." "Rest now, God is with you." "And from my lips, no one will know where that ammo is located." "Damn, priest boy, and I did not trust you, but you are quite clever." "Come on, let us inform the General." "Are you aware that this may cost you your life?" "the secrecy of confession is sacred." "And in this case..." "God could not make, an exception?" "Then what?" "are you not a soldier?" "I am also a soldier of God." "I act according to my conscience, you act according to yours, General." "I would have to have you shot." "I may not have no other choice." "I appreciate you, because you are a righteous man, but I cannot get soft on you." "Why could you not stay in your little church!" "Do not worry, General." "Fierro," "Colonel Triana is under arrest, lock him up." "One moment, why are you doing this?" "Why are you in the revolution?" "Because I believe in her!" "Good night, General!" "Did he speak?" "No." "What will you do with him?" "I will dismiss him and bounce him back to his church." "No sir, I am against it!" "That traitor must be excecuted as a disciplinary example!" "I officially accuse him of treason, and demand his immediate court martial!" "Hold your wagon, General, in Villa's forces, only Villa is in command!" "Above Francisco Villa and every one of us, is the Revolutionary Council!" "Three Generals is enough to represent it, and in its name I demand a court martial!" "No sir!" "That priest left his church, to come and fight by my side." "he brought two hundred men, who have split their souls for this revolution." "He is one of the best!" "Why should I have him killed, if he feels he is following his conscience?" "the court martial is in effect!" "Carry it out then, but without me!" "He either pulls away, or pulls along!" "Follow me, Gentlemen." "They sentenced him to death!" "They can do what they like, but among Villa's men, only Villa is in command!" "I will not have him shot!" "General, the revolution can only triumph if it's leaders are united, you must not oppose the council." "You are proposing that I blow him away!" "No, but if you where to convince them nicely." "I beg of no one, and specially those bastards!" "How can you expect me to kill a man who is honest with himself, who is willing to die for his beliefs." "I have killed many, and will kill many more, but that, because I believed it had to be done." "and now I don't believe it, and I won't kill him!" "If the leaders split, the revolution is lost." "You must be on good terms with the council." "And why should the concil care about the life of a single priest!" "I'ts not about the priest, what they want is for you to be more disciplined." "Oh yeah!" "That's how it is!" "Well, let them discipline their... who knows!" "You will see," "I will be in good terms with the council, and I will be on good terms, with the priest, and I will be on good terms, with Pancho Villa!" "and what I like the best, is that I will fool those little Generals." "Listen, secretary, open up that ear." "First, no one must know about what I am about to tell you." "No,Luisito." "No." "To accept that is to risk General Villa's life." "Yours and the other men, just to save mine." "I cannot allow this." "But all you have to do, is hide for some time." "Then you can go back to your church, there is no risk." "No Luisito." "Well then, these are the orders of General Villa, and since it will be dawn soon, I will prepare everything." "Cigarette, General?" "No thanks." "General, they are on their way." "We still have time, speak." "Why risk your hide, you win nothing." "Will you let yourself be killed for General Villa?" "Of course, its General Villa!" "They are about to kill me for a much greater General, do you understand?" "Not that well, what I do understand is that you are very brave." "I know, don't tell us where the ammo is, just tell us if we are hot or cold." "Prepare...arms!" "One moment!" "The sentenced have a right to express their last wish." "They do." "I want to order the platoon myself." "Ok then." "Load another cartridge." "Load another cartridge!" "Aim!" "What is wrong with you!" "Don't you know that the whole game with the blank cartridges, is my order?" "You are not dying becaue you have not earned it!" "I wanted to obey God, and now I will die as a soldier!" "No way sir!" "By my arms you will not die!" "And right now, I will tell those Generals of that Council who is in charge here!" "Long live Villa!" "Fire!" "Jesusita in Chihuahua" "Hello, Secretary!" "Hello, shorty!" "Lovely moon, isn't it?" "Lovely moon." "Night for romance, right?" "Night for romance." "Good evening boys!" "Good evening, Secretary." "Hope you all win!" "Thanks!" ""Private Offices, Please come in"" "Well then..." "Good night shorty!" "Good night Secretary!" "If you excuse me, General." "come in." "Wassup?" "Nothing, General, a happy birthday message to some broad from Parral." "Dammit!" "General?" "If in two days General Mendoza does not report in, it's because he got smoked." "It not so easy to go about with two hundred thousand Pesos in gold." "But he is not alone!" "What happened to his men?" "Pancho...!" "I'm coming!" "How may I help you, Luisito?" "May I have permission to go to town, and return at midnight?" "Again?" "You know how it is, General, this is my home town." "Yes, but you have no relatives left, or friends, or anyone." "Pancho...!" "Shut up!" "Yes, General." "What is up with you?" "Yams, General." "Yams!" "Well, let me have one, you know I like them a lot!" "So, it was yams, right?" "the kind with a skirt!" "With a skirt, General." "It is the first one I am aware of." "I hope you have chosen well." "You deserve the best." "Thanks, General!" "Go to town,and stick to the phone, until you find out about General Mendoza." "I will grant you...half an hour to deliver the "yams."" "Thanks, General!" "Pancho!" "Again!" "What a nag!" "I hope yours does not turn out like this convalescent." "What's up then?" "Oh, Pancho, I can't stand the pain on my side, I am dying!" "Rub me." "What side is it?" "This one." "That one?" "Half an hour ago it was the other side!" "It runs!" "The one that will run is you, if you keep on nagging me!" "Oh Pancho, that's how you are?" "I am very ill!" "What ill!" "the thing is you are a cry-baby, and a slacker!" "Oh Pancho, you don't love me anymore!" "Shut up!" "I hear another cry like that, and you can get out of here!" "It's a lie that you are sick!" "You are with me, exactly because of the contrary!" "There goes the rebellion" "The rebellion of good times." "without ailments or venom." "Stay alert boys!" "Don't go to sleep." "Life does not bloom twice." "What do you say, love birds," "You sing for me now," "Or I ruin your nest." "He who does not know," "how to enjoy life," "is always looking pale." "Let the rebellion go on" "let it roll on." "I in the mean time will keep on enjoying it." "The old saying says," "He who gets married," "in three days begins to smell." "And that is the reason," "don't think of getting married," "until a rabbit can fly." "Young girls like old men," "because they think they are of consequence." "And when they get married," "and the old man does not last," "they trade him for two twenty somethings." "Let the rebellion go on" "let it roll on." "I in the mean time will keep on enjoying it." "Don't get pushy, we can get a drink later." "but my job comes first, rigth?" "Go on, take a seat." "Come on, Mr. Chito, sit down." "Go on, finish this one, it's full of life." "You have no other vice than liquour, and we all have a right to at least three." "Mine are drink,partying, and men," "But you have never truly liked a man." "Hey!" "The ones I like, I like for real!" "I mean one you can like forever." "One that will make you fancy no other." "Fancy no other?" "No." "Now, fancy forever, you are the only one!" "Jesusita?" "Come here." "What's up Luisito!" "Come on into the heat!" "No, you better come out here a moment." "Ok then." "What you got there?" "Yams for the General?" "These are for you." "Oh damn!" "No one has bothered to give me flowers." "Why did you?" "Why do you think?" "Don't be stubborn, Luis, I like you a lot but..." "I know, you are not the woman for me." "Of course!" "You don't like how I live." "I will make you change." "Whoever tries to was a pig, wastes soap and time." "I can try with kindness." "There are so many women of your caste, and you took a fancy to me." "It is nothing new, Jesusita." "Since we where kids." "You where not like this then." "Oh, even the rocks have changed here." "From rolling so much, but the time must come when they stop." "Well, don't even try." "I am commited to partying, drinking, and...you don't like that sort of thing." "I don't." "You see, we are in agreement." "I am." "Then what?" "You want to be my girlfriend?" "But for what?" "That way I can have the authority to try and change you." "Don't you think it's worth a try?" "Look, that whole thing about "girlfriend," I wouldn' know how." "It's very easy." "Now we are boyfriend and girlfriend" "That was it?" "That's it." "A kiss and...that's it?" "A kiss, and thats it." "Your girlfriend." "Say, and would Mr. Francisco Villa not approve?" "Why?" "From the rouckus I made in Durango last time, your General cannot stand the sight of me." "Oh damn!" "I almost forgot my orders, I will be back shortly!" "Boyfriend and girlfriend!" "Violets?" "They are." "No one has ever spoken to me like Luisito." "He says we are boyfriend and girlfriend?" "Luisito is a good man, don't make a fool out of him." "Hey!" "I am always on the level, I never fool anyone!" "Would you run away with him?" "I would like to see Pancho Villa's face to see me among his troops." "The bed must be made of stone," "of stone must be the headboard." "the stud that truly loves me," "must love me for real" "Oh heart, why can't you love!" "I went to the scene of the crime," "and I asked the President," "if it's a crime to love you," "then sentence me to death!" "Oh heart, why can't you love!" "Oh Pancho, you are so darling, you brought me a serenade!" "Oh, but my headache!" "Tell them to leave soon, Pancho." "...to die in your arms." "Oh heart, why can't you love!" "For a coffin, I want my shoal," "for a cross, my cartridge belts." "and write upon my grave," "my last goodbye with a thousand bullets." "Oh heart, why can't you love!" "You done?" "Yeah," "Well then, scram!" "Oh, but why, General?" "We know eachother well, Jesusa." "You stir up a wind that disturbs everything." "My people are quite at peace here." "Oh General, I only brought you a serenade because one loves you and does not forget you." "and also to entertain the poor soldiers." "Oh yeah baby, you entertain them too much!" "Ok then." "I only wanted to earn a few honest coins, but whatever, I'll take my music somewhere else." "Jesusa!" "You can stay." "But I will warn you," "As soon as one of my men picks up a drink, or a gun is drawn out," "I will have you shot!" "He is finally here!" "the one and only Divisional General." "Oh say, what happened?" "What's up soul of mine, get close to God!" "No, I am no rival" "By God, all I want is to party." "Now that he has returned for payback," "your warmongering General." "He who does not like good times," "throw them away on the bare ground." "This Colonel," "my Captain," "my Sub Leutenant," "and my Mayor." "Attention, here I come!" "they make a scuadron inspection right away." "Paid musicians," "La Valentina, I want to hear it, but right now!" "And I tought that concert was from you for me, and is from her to you, and me being so ill!" "Oh Pancho, oh , where is the liver?" "Where is the liver!" "I don't know!" "But I do know you filled mine full of gall stones!" "What I..." "Pancho!" "Listen to me, Pancho!" "...throw them away on the bare ground." "Say, you are General Fierro, right?" "The same." "Damn, you have such a powerful stare." "Seems like you have two angry dogs for eyes!" "They bother you?" "To tell you the truth, they don't." "Oh damn, such big arms." "seems like you cut smash one to pieces!" "Pretty women like you, they only tighten a little." "Don't be greedy, General, now it's my turn!" "And mine!" "And mine too!" "And mine!" "Attention!" "Double time over to that hill!" "Oh, come on!" "Or what!" "What is the matter, General?" "I came here to please all of them, not just one." "Now, if there is one that is more of a stud than the rest, well then..." "Ok then, bring out your guns!" "One moment, one moment!" "The first blast and General Villa will have me shot, he promised!" "Then what?" "Well, what are these good for then?" "Oh yeah, check this out." "Now then, get some of this!" "We cant be insubordinate, General." "There is no General here right now!" "Get some!" "Give him another!" "Oh yeah, you lot ain't backing out now!" "Besides, it's like the lottery!" "let's see who gets the prize, just a game!" "You play in a strange way, but here I go!" "Strange!" "One moment." "Your call is ready, but there is a lot of line noise." "Hello?" "Your password?" "Four fillies." "We got cut to pieces in Cerro Largo," "Only General Mendoza and I are left." "we are at the cave of the saints, we have the gold, the Federal..." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Oh, thanks a lot, eh!" "What a shame, I finished all of them." "I think one is left." "General!" "It seems you care more for some troublemaking broad, than the appreciation of your comrades!" "this one would make you fight even me, and I think it's a fine idea!" "I hereby promote you to Divisional General." "Now we are the same." "What's up!" "I hereby forfeit, General." "Good thing you still care about something." "Leave me alone with this tart." "Why don't you like me, General?" "Because you are a drunk!" "Oh," "And if I didn't drink, what would you like best about me?" "well...your joyfulness." "Oh, that won't work, I drink to be joyfull." "Look Jesusa, if you would love a single man, but with all your heart, you would not need to drink to feel joy." "That will be hard!" "I want a man who is rich, good, strong, and with brains." "Where could I find one like that?" "I am with one that is rich for some time, then with someone that is good with words, and like that." "Should I be more, clear?" "Not even water can be as clear!" "You are not a bad girl, the problem is you are a troublemaker." "But for now, I like you, scram, and don't come around here no more!" "What's up cutie, already forgot who won the lottery?" "No, you won." "When I win, I claim my prize." "And I pay." "And..." "I would even run away with you, but your General told me to scram." "I will fix that." "Go back to town, tomorrow I will pick you up." "I will be waiting." "Let's go Mr. Chito." "you catch up, boys." "But Jesusita, why did you tell General Fierro you would leave with him, if you aren't?" "You are playing with dynamite!" "And me liking explosions so much!" "Jesusita!" "Good thing I found you!" "I have something very important to ask you." "I am listening." "There is no time to think things out, do you want to marry me?" "Oh damn!" "and...you would leave Villa?" "That would be difficult but...you would leave other things, right?" "Answer me!" "I would." "Ok then, tomorrow I will find you in town, good nite." "How about that, Chito?" "Oh, Jesusa, whatever will you do?" "Villa told me that belonging to another man, from the heart," "I would not need anything else to be happy." "No one has ever asked for my hand in marriage." "Who knows, he could be right." "Let's go, Princess." "If I would have known about the sorrows I would endure, I would not have come!" "So you want to split!" "That is not what I was trying to say..." "Well, you said it, pack all your rags, and all your aches, and scram!" "Oh, and change your name to Dolores, because Remedios,nothing!" "And what is up with you?" "General, I have chosen a woman, and I ask your permission to bring her on this convoy." "Who?" "Jesusita." "No sir!" "But why not, General?" "Since when my men ask me why I order something?" "With all due respect, General, she is the one I chose." "And the one I will not bring!" "We all have a right to..." "The only one who has a right to say who does and does not come along with me and the troops, is me!" "General..." "Shut up!" "Seems like that little eagle got into your head." "and all because of some filthy skirt!" "It is not so much the skirt, General, it is my rights you are trampling!" "Damn!" "Is this how little Villa has managed to sow in the hearts of his people?" "General..." "I insist." "In what?" "In disobedience!" "Yes, General!" "Go on, that is all that was missing, pull it out!" "General!" "We have been defeated in Cerro Largo!" "General Mendoza has the gold, but he is wounded in a cave." "They where going to tell me something about the Federal Forces, when they where ambushed." "Dammit!" "General Fierro?" "Sir!" "Take thirty men, and bolt towards Cerro Largo." "Take a telegraphist to keep me informed." "Try to help General Mendoza, and hurry back with all the gold." "Are you not afraid that I might steal the gold and desert?" "I know well that you will return, with the gold." "We will finish what we started." "We will." "Something else?" "General," "I am getting married." "Congratulations!" "And when will you bring her here?" "We could be leaving at any moment." "General," "I am not going," "I ask you for my discharge." "Why?" "I want to stay here, in my town." "A woman who is not willing to follow you anywhere, is no woman, Luisito." "It is I who does not want to bring her, General." "Who is she?" "I said who is she!" "Jesusita!" "You too!" "Look Luisito, you are worth a lot." "All this time we have been in the rebellion, you have done the thinking on my behalf." "Because I am a brute, and you have the brains." "How then, could you have set eyes on that damned broad who is good for nothing!" "General?" "That broad, will cheat on you with the first man to cross her path!" "General!" "She will, and that is affirmed by Pancho Villa!" "I know how Jesusita is!" "She is good, and she will change because I will teach her!" "Ok then..." "It pains me, General, but..." "I insist on being discharged." "I just don't understand it." "You leave Pancho Villa without a head to do his thinking." "And how can a man go on without his head?" "But that is how it is." "Go get some sleep, and if you request it tomorrow, I will discharge you." "I may even have a little surprise for you." "We will discuss this when Fierro returns, good night." "Good night, General." "Madame General!" "What happened!" "I am no longer the Madame General, Pancho kicked me out." "But why?" "He says because of my ailments, but I think its because of another woman." "And me with this cold!" "Oh my, that General." "It is regretful, Madame, good night." "Thanks." "Muños, keep your eyes open." "You, follow me." "I only wanted to look at it." "Oh damn." "Take them." "They are real heavy, boss, should we spread them around?" "Put them all on my horse, temptation is treacherous." "General Mendoza was right, they are going to attack Villa." "Ready to ride at full gallop!" "They are Villa's, attack!" "Long live Villa!" "Long live Villa!" "What are you doing, General!" "Money makes monkeys dance, let's go!" "Gold!" "It's part of the one hundred thousand Pesos Mendoza had." "Half of you, block them, the rest, follow me!" "Let's go!" "Rito, Demerio and Juan, follow me!" "The rest of you, resist!" "Dismount!" "Hold them up on the shore, while I bury the gold in the swamp!" "Should we hold until we are killed?" "Until we are killed, but we will leave them here, stuck looking for the gold." "Dammit!" "Hurry up, General, only I am left!" "That one is General Fierro!" "Give me a rifle!" "Come for your gold, sons of your mothers, here it is!" "Long live Vi...!" "At all costs, pull out that gold!" "Attention!" "Acts of war!" "A man has died in action, someone who was said to be a savage, and a murderer!" "But we all know , that he was a brave man, and the most loyal of all my men!" "Lads, stand at attention!" "General Fierro has died!" "He is crying!" "He is!" "Pancho Villa is crying, and is not ashamed of crying." "All aboard!" "Jesusita," "What happened to you, I have been looking for you all over town!" "All is ready, let's go." "I am not getting married after all." "Why!" "Another man conviced me last night." "Who?" "Pancho Villa." "I am leaving on this train, now I am the Madame General." "I am only waiting for him to send for me." "Jesusa, don't make the General kill Luisito!" "I don't think so." "General!" "Yes... do you still want your discharge?" "And you are asking me!" "I have loved that woman since I was a boy!" "You have been my idol, for your affinity for justice!" "And for your loyalty to then noblest of causes!" "You have smashed the two greatest loves of mine!" "I could not spend another day by your side." "Give me my discharge, or consider me a deserter!" "I am leaving the service." "Kill me if you want, according to your laws." "Wait..." "I have lost my strongman." "My right arm." "and now, my head is leaving me." "here is your discharge." "General Villa says he told you nothing, or promised you anything." "Oh no?" "Last night he asked me if I wanted to be Madame General, and I told him yes." "But he only asked you." "and he says, that now you know, and thanks a lot." "Luisito!" "Luisito!" "General!" "I believed that you had betrayed me." "Please forgive me." "If you accept, I am staying!" "That makes me very happy, Luisito." "I lost my right arm, but recovered my head." "Something hurts, Remedios?" "No, Pancho, nothing hurts!" "I have been taught a lesson, Chito." "I will change." "Really, Jesusita?" "I will never again consort with soldiers!" "Only civilians from now on." "There are lots more." "Sometimes, when I remember these things, here, so far away from my homeland," "I would like to cry a little, for some relief." "But I can't." "Because tears come from the eyes, but they are born much further down." "And, since they can't come from the legs of this case, from where?" ""And that is it...for now..." "Tomorrow I will return to tell you More Tales of Pancho Villa."" "The End, Subtitles by Jose Jimenez 02/27/2013"
