"Especially if they're smokers." "Worried about being late for dinner with Gen. Bello?" "He likes to show you off to his friends." "What happens if I'm..." "If I don't show up?" "Hold your fire!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "Do you understand English?" "I teach it." "It's a girl." "I want to question her." "Yes." "First you." "Then she is questioned by the sergeant and each of the men as many times as possible and two or three days later she is taken to the moat of La Cabana and shot." "It'd be much kinder to shoot her now." "Look, I'm not going to hurt you." "I just want to ask you..." "Get down!" "Women!" "Who is he?" "Nobody." "Mr. Gutman is in room 214."

"Okay, we'll see what we can do." "Don't you Cubans realize that time is money?" "I do." "Guns?" "Stored in the premises of Alexandra Pulido." "Is she involved?" "Perhaps." "Whether she is or not, she still has to be questioned." "I used to know her in North Africa." "If she is involved, I can find out very quickly." "Don't worry, I don't like terrorists." "Especially ones I know." "Come on, come on." " Get me a cab!" " Cab?" "SI, Senor." "Come on, come on!" "I've been promoted!" "Congratulations!" "Batista has promoted everyone in the army." "There are no privates anymore." "Now, I'm a major, too." "I'll buy you a drink." "You know that the situation here is not so good." "I think you've come too late." "I was afraid of that." "You know, soldiering has changed." "It's not as clean as it was." "I'm still proud to be a soldier." "Why not?" "It's an honorable profession." "It was..." "We'll be back by 11:00, if that's not too early for you." "Ready for another boring evening?" "It'll be a lot of fun, they always serve peas." "Sorry we're leaving, General, but Mr. Dulles is sending us home." "I know..." "We're not going far, but we may not be able..." "It's all right, I don't need you now, I have an Englishman coming tonight." "Enjoy yourself." "Don Pulido!" "Hello, my friend." " Here, sit down." " Thank you." "Sit down next to me." "All right, everybody, please sit down!" "You can start now." "Pick your own seats." "Do you have enough room?" "There you are." " Yes, thank you, General." " That's all right." "It's pea soup." "Look out!" "John, I swear I don't know when I had such a good time!" " I do, honey, but let's not talk." " Is that to your liking?" "Very good." "This wine's really tasty, eh?" "Rafael, get some ambulances here." "All right, my love." "We'll do something for you." "All right?" "Let me have that cloak." "You unfeeling bastard!" "Flre number onel" "Number one, flrel" "Flre number twol" "Number two, flrel" " I love him." " Love!" " You lose your job!" " I don't care." "Your father would kill you!" " My father is dead." " No, your father is not dead." "I go every day to the prison to find out." "He is not dead!" "Your brother should kill you." "Julio!" "You're going to kill me, Julio?"

"What's the matter?" "You don't like broads?" " I'm glad to hear it." " When Mr. Gutman arrives, send him over." "Excuse me." "We get 2/ of every table and don't think we don't need it." "You know, everybody, but everybody in this town is on the take." "The ammunition does fit." "What?" "...does fit." "Pay Skinner... something." "Okay." "Well..." "Well, what?" "Have we nothing to say to each other?" "Yes, of course." "I'd rather he didn't come at all." "I've arranged this so..." "Where did you take him this afternoon?" "To father's mill, the rum factory." "Why?" "To impress him." "You can't be satisfied with what you have, can you?" "The cigar factory is impressive enough." "It only needs investment to be better." "Yes, I am arranging that." "Gutman was impressed." "You are trying." "I do love you for that." "Don't laugh at me." "Thank you." "Hello there!" "I guess we got delayed." "Dolores is very lucky." "I got lucky." "My God, is Havana wide open." "We shot a little craps." " Did you eat?" " I am lucky for him." "How nice." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Champagne, right?" "What?" "I will not sit with that woman, a common whore!" " How dare you!" " It's the way it's done!" "Did you arrange her?" " Yes!" "I arranged it!" " Did you?" "Let me go!" "Gutman means nothing to me!"

"It appears I'm not." "I like your photo very much." " Lipstick, huh?" " No, actually it's blood." "Shaving..." "I like a man who shaves smoothly." "I find the role of procurer very distasteful to me so if you don't like her, then perhaps..." "You don't like me?" "But I am beautiful." "Yes, you are." "It's just that I try to avoid that which I cannot afford." "It's okay." "You can afford." "Come, I take you to another casino where I am very lucky for you and I win you maybe two-and-a-half thousand grand of dollars in..." "We just bought some champagne!" "Yes, Mr. Gutman, but you have not bought me." "I must talk with you." "I don't want to talk to you." "You were a long time ago." "Will you leave the soldiers alone, please?" "Mr. Gutman, shall we?" "Come here." "Let's go." "Take me back." "For a second time this evening...  ... a big hand, for a big lady...  ... miss Wonderly." "Shit." "Faltes vos jeux, Mesdames et Messleurs." "Bartender."

"Fantastic." "What sort of friends do you have here?" " Can't you do better than that?" " Apart from your Wimbledon set." "Yes, I know." "I'm sorry." "You frightened me." "But not now." "I see." "What do you expect me to do now, kiss you?" "I can see no reason why you shouldn't." "It's been, as they say, such a long time." "Stop it." "It seems like yesterday to me." "Really?" "Would you excuse me a minute?" " About three hours ago, we went to a..." " Robert." "Did I ever know your second name?" "Of course you did!" "I did?" "You wrote to me, it got to me." "I can't believe that I was the only Robert in the British Army." "I should introduce you to my husband, for that I need your second name." "Juan, this is..." "Nobody?" "Robert..." "For the life of me, I can't remember your second name." "Dapes." "My name is Robert Dapes." "You must come and visit us." "Do you play polo?" "Would you like to meet anyone in the government?" "Of course, if enough money is involved, you can meet Batista himself." "What line of business?" "Tractors!" "Yes!" "Go get him!" "Get out of here." "What's going on?" "Come on, get out." " Aimed at you?" " Yes." "At me." "Do you know that young man?" "Good heavens, no." "I wouldn't even recognize him again." " Did you get a good look at him?" " Good enough." "Then you are in for a very long night." "Jorge Ortiz Ruiz." " What's all this about?" " They're waiting to hear." " To hear?" " About those that have been arrested." "Hear what?" "Major, please." "Monopoly." "Thank you." "They just can't account for $300,000 for the month of June, Spence." "I have some very suspicious cross entries here, Gary." "We're going to be here for months." "These accounts are in a mess." "They are experiencing a revolution." "I guess accounts do get out of hand." "No luck." "Thank you." "Therese, why are you here?" "I've come to warn you that my brother could kill you." "He's already tried." "Wait here, just wait." "Where's your wife?" "Your husband was released some hours ago." "Yes, I know." "Come on." "Do you want to say something?" "Or would your rather not?" "Yes, I would rather not." "Why were you so upset at the tennis?" "Yes, I was." "You frighten me." "Because you threaten to change the life I have." "How would I do that?" "You already have." "I knew you would." "Where are we going?" "Can't we just drive around for a little while?" "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." "With you and my colonel and being shot at four times a day, I'm astonished I survived." "Perhaps you didn't." "Yes, I did." "By forgetting all about you." "Then how did you recognize me?" "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?" " Five 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?" "Wlth an overwhelming majority,  the people of Cuba...  ... have elected Rlvero Aguero to hold the office of president." "Gen. 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." "Presldent-elect Aguero has a hard task ahead of him...  ... but the people of Cuba are behind him against Communlsm...  ... and the terror of revolution." "He will take office as Cuba's president at once...  ... and will meet with the Ambassador to the Unlted 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 Gen. 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 fifteen." "Seventeen." "Fifteen." "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?" " Lf 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?" "Radlo Rebelde, Rebel Rad..." "Why?" "Why has Rlvero Aguero been elected?" "You did not cast a vote." "You stayed at home,  but Aguero was elected...  ... because the election was rigged by Batlstal" "What can you do?" "You can strlkel A general strike Is called." "Thls 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 Batlsta soldiers are moving against us but they cannot win." "They will be defeated by us and by youl" "Strlkel No telephonesl No transportl No work In the factorlesl" "Support the revolutlonl Tell us, Batlsta,  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 youl" "Tell us, Sgt. Batlsta..." "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?" " Lf 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 two planeloads 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 Fldellsta " 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 six!" "What?" "Switch the flow on to six!" "Take this!" "Juan, take a look at this." "Come here." "Get up!" "Come on." "Here you go." "If the soldiers of the gangster Batlsta wish to surrender...  ... they will be well treated." "I repeat:" "If the soldiers of the gangster Batlsta 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 Ile." "If you die now you wlll at least die a free man." "Come homel Come to usl" "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 Fldellstas!" "Chambelona Red?" "Over." "Chambelona Red, I hear you, over." "Maj. Dapes." "That's right." " You said he was to be killed." " Be quiet, boy!" "Chambelona Red, this Is Col. 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 rediscover 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 Col. 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 Tlme 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 Amerlcan 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 flrst-come, flrst-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":" "Fldel Castro, their leader." "They arrive In buses, carts,  anything that has wheels." "It has taken seven days for this march,  seven days up the Carretera Central..." "Mommy!" "Soldiers!" "Keep quiet and come with me." "Just stay with me." "... for "El Caballo" Fldel." "Everywhere the people of Cuba welcome him." "Oh, my God!" "Goodbye." " What's he doing?" " He must be a rebel leader." "Everybody make a line!" "Make a line here, please!" "Those who want to go, you go." "Please take your cases and pass through customs." "Ticket?" "You go." "This way, please!" "Alr Cubana passengers..." "What do you have in here?" "WIII all ticket holders please move In an orderly manner...  ... towards the departure gate." "Give this to Alex Pulido if she shows up." "I can't wait." "To Mlaml only."
