"All technical and artistic personnel participating in the filming of this movie are members of the Mexican Film Workers Union, part of the Federation of Mexican Film Industry Workers, of the Confederation of Mexican Workers." "THE BLOODSTAIN" "Yeah, I'd been looking for an excuse to fight, and that day I was so drunk..." "I thought:" "We're finally going to fight today!" "I was dancing..." "and she bumped into me." "So I let go of my partner and, right away, I jumped on her!" "They tried to separate us, but we kept fighting." "Then, we both fell down and I ended up on bottom." "Then, she got up and tried to jump on me." "So I kicked her in the stomach!" "And she stumbled off!" " And what happened to you?" " To me?" "Nothing." "Just this." "Hey, that guy drinking beer at the bar is an undercover cop." "Get word out to the guys so they know to watch out." "Hey, tell everyone the guy standing there is an undercover cop." "What are you staring at him for?" "You're not his type." "You see that, Antonio?" "She's always trying to provoke me." "Okay, okay, what's all the fuss about?" "Let me handle it." "I'll make this witch pay." "(indistinct)" "(indistinct)" "Music!" "... took her away so that she'd stop causing trouble." "Hey, Prince." "You're back, Chinchavú." "It's been a while!" "Easy there, girls." "Easy." "Prince Chinchavú himself is here, to entertain you and make sure you have a good time." " That's great!" "Terrific!" " Let's go sit down." "What trick are you going to do for us?" " What do you want me to do?" " Nothing for me, handsome." " I bet you won't do what I say." " Name it!" " Buy us some drinks." " Nice try!" "Hey, I'll buy you whatever you want to drink." " Let's go chat with them." " Okay, let's go!" "What'll you have?" "Give me a sandwich." "What kind?" "We've got turkey, head cheese, ham, or chicken." " What'll you have to drink?" " Nothing, miss, but thanks." "I just want to eat." "So, what'll it be?" "That one." "What a boring night!" "Want me to play you something?" "Play a danzón, but make it a nice one." "Want to dance, kid?" "I don't know how, miss." " But I do!" "Dance with me." " Thanks, but I don't smoke." "Okay, guys!" "What'll it be?" "Punch for everyone." " Sure, punch for everyone." " Yeah, some punch should heat things up." "(indistinct)" "Just my luck!" "Come on, Prince." "Get me a seat or I'll sit on your lap!" "I'll do a trick while you finish your punch, and then let's go because..." "He's right." "Drink up and let's go." " Cheers." " Cheers." "Let's go, guys." "See you around, girls." "Bye." "You got all worked up!" "Come on, let's go." "What's your rush?" "Don't you realize that we have to throw the police off our trail... by staying on the move tonight?" "Fine, let's go." "What a pain!" "Daniel, get me a punch." "Wow, you really went overboard!" "Give it some more tea." "You lousy bum!" "Pay up or you'll be sorry." "What's wrong, Casilda?" "Nothing." "It's just that this guy's saying he can't pay." "Hey, it's no big deal." "I'll pay, okay?" "Hey, Emilio!" "It's been a while!" "Camelia, come here." "I'm so glad you guys came." "We've been so lonely all night." "But not you, huh?" " Let me introduce a friend of mine." " Nice to meet you." "Come sit down." "Let's see what everyone wants." "What can I get you?" "For us, two pomegranate punches." "What about you?" "An anisette." "An anisette." "And you?" "Come on, have a drink." "We're all friends here." "Okay, miss." "A lemonade." "Two pomegranate punches..." "three anisettes, and a lemonade." "Hey, guess what!" "Last week went so well for me, that I had a dress made, a real pretty one." "He was impossible." "The old man was unbearable." "Okay, let's drink." " Well, cheers!" " Cheers!" "Hey, we can't hear the music!" " Want to dance?" " I don't know how." "What's new with you?" "Nothing for now." "You can't work all the time." "Lately, they've been keeping a close eye on us." "What kind of guy is this friend of yours?" "He's a complete stranger to me." "I've never seen him before." "You can trust him." "I'll vouch for him." "In that case, I feel better." "Get us another round." "Two pomegranate punches, three anisettes, and a lemonade." "Hey shoeshine boy!" "Come here." "Give me a 20-cent shoeshine." "I'll pay you tomorrow." "Then what happened?" "Well, when I got there, my uncle told me I shouldn't have come, because there was barely any work and he couldn't help me." "Both he and his wife put me down so much and were so rude to me, that I was forced to leave their house." "And what'd you do then?" "Nothing." "I just walked and walked, asking for work everywhere... but nobody knows me." "So I came in here, driven by hunger." "I hadn't eaten for three days and I said, "I don't care if they put me in jail."" "You poor thing!" "If it hadn't been for you..." "Don't worry, okay?" "We'll see how things go." "Just don't tell these guys any of what you just told me." "While you're dancing, we're waiting for service." "Get us another round of the same." "We don't want to mix drinks." "So what'd you say?" " Well, nothing, as you can imagine." " Of course." "Pay the bill... and let's go." " All right, guys." "I'm leaving, okay?" " Sure." " Come back soon." " Don't go." "Why are you taking her now, when we're having such a good time?" "Shut up, kid." "This is men's business." "I see that you like the woman, pal." "The bad part about that... it costs money." " Good night." " Good night." " What happened to the 40 pesos?" " I've only got 35." "Hand 'em over." "Listen up!" "How about we go have another round at the bar?" " Great!" " Sure, let's go!" " Those drinks really went to my head." " Really?" "I hadn't had a drink in ages." "I'm paying, Marcos." " Want a drink on the house?" " Alright." "I don't want to drink anymore." " Want some cigarettes?" " Sure, if you don't mind." "What do you think about having this kid work for us?" "It might work out, if he really is reliable." "Hey, pal." "If you come around here again, we'll be glad to see you." "Try to be here a week from tomorrow." "It might be good for you." "Bye." "Excuse me, please." "You made it!" "I thought you'd forgotten the way." "Would you like a drink, miss?" "We can drink whatever you want, but..." "over here, just the two of us." "Move over." "What can I get you?" "Don't bother." "I'll take care of it." "But it's my table, and I haven't sold enough drinks yet." "Let her bring the drinks." "Okay, what can I get you?" "One peach punch, real hot." "A peach punch and a lemonade." "You're not going to buy me a drink?" "Look, girl." "I'll give you your money, but leave us alone for now, okay?" "Oh dear!" "The two lovebirds!" "You must have loved someone before you met me." "I've never loved anyone." "Back in my town, I had a sweetheart... but it was only to be like the other boys." "And did she love you?" "Well... who knows?" "On some nights, I'd get to her window and she'd say to me:" ""Put your hand here over my chest, so you can feel how excited I am."" "And she would take my hand and hold it tightly against her breast." "Aha!" "And you didn't realize what she really wanted, did you?" "Well, honestly, I didn't." "I really love this music." "Want to dance?" "I'd rather we stay here and keep talking." "Sure, if that's what you want." "The truth is, until I met you..." "I hadn't felt anything at all." " Women were all the same to me." " Really?" " You're not just flattering me?" " No, miss." "I'm not just grateful for what you did for me." "I really like you too." "Oh god!" "Look, I'm going to be honest with you." "From the moment I met you..." "I knew I really liked you." "Now that's my kind of music!" "Get a round for the band!" "I'm feeling so great, the drinks are on me!" "What's happening?" "Are we headed to The Bloodstain tonight?" "It's better if the kid looks for us on his own for a few days." "That way, he'll get his hopes up over Camelia sooner... and then we'll do whatever we want with him." "As you wish." "It's really late and Emilio hasn't arrived yet." "I'm leaving." "If you see him, please tell him I stayed really late waiting for him." "Hey, why are you so formal with me?" "Don't you trust me?" "Weren't you saying that you loved me and who knows what else?" "It's just..." "I don't feel right." "It's embarrassing for me." " So, when are you coming back?" " Whenever you want." "Okay, let's see." "So I'll be waiting for you next Friday at 3:30 sharp, okay?" "At the Garibaldi garden, across from the traveling show." " You'll be there?" " Of course." "I wouldn't miss it." " I promise I'll be there." " I'll hold you to that, okay?" "Hey fools, how do you like my masterpiece?" "Hey, what about Camelia?" "What would I want her for when I've got you instead?" "God, you're so mean!" "If she were here, you wouldn't say that." "He's just upset because she loves Guillermo." "To hell with her!" "You've done it now!" "You're right." "Hey, look here!" "Tell your friend to do one of those good dances she knows." "Listen, baby." "Do that one little dance for me... so my friends here... can get a little peek." "If you want." "I was afraid you wouldn't come." "Why so formal?" "Didn't we agree that you'd loosen up?" "Or do you not want to?" "A photograph, young lady?" "Want to get our picture taken so we'll have a memory of our day out?" "Okay." "What size would the lady like?" " How much for this size?" " 50 cents." " And this one?" " 35." "So do they come out good?" "They come out great." "If not, you don't have to take them." " Okay." "How long does it take?" " Five minutes." "Okay?" " This size." " This one?" "Would you mind moving over here?" "Now put your arm around her, please." "That's perfect." "Here's the five pesos." "Now give me the watch back." "And this is for some drinks." "Wow, man." "Where'd you get all that dough from?" " Well, my woman made my afternoon." " And how's your old lady, money-wise?" "Well, when she's in a good mood, she'll give me anything." "You say that in jest, but around here we really do run things." "Watch out." "Gaston just got here and he's watching you." "You'd better get out of here." "Come back on Monday, but get here early, okay?" "Order some drinks..." "and come sit down." "We have to talk." "I just saw you with that guy again." "Is that so?" "Well, remember that we agreed I'd be free to do as I please." "Yes, so long as it doesn't hurt the business." "Ever since this kid showed up, every day you've been earning less." "I'm warning you..." "If I see him with you here again, I'll kick him out!" "No you won't!" "What gives you the right to interfere in my personal life?" "That's what I'm here for!" "Is that clear?" "I'm here get you to earn money, but with that kid, you're just wasting time." "What happened?" " Why is he so angry?" " It's nothing." "The whole week was terrible, but at least I made enough today to pay the rent." "Girls!" "Did you see the old man who was dancing and drinking with me?" "Well, he says, if I want, he'll set me up in a little place." "You think they're all in love with you!" "As soon as they invite her to a beer, she thinks they want to take care of her." " Bye, girls!" " Bye!" "Hey, which one of you is taking me home?" "I'll pay the 50 cents in cab fare." "I'll take her." "It's on my way." " Okay, girls." "See you tomorrow." " Bye." "Break a leg!" "There aren't any of those left." "Don't you ever get tired of that trick?" "All you do is take and take." "It's blocked." "Now add 'em all up." "It's over." "Here's what I've got." "I swear, you can't keep anything to yourself!" "It slipped out, man." "What do you want from me?" "The important thing is that it turned out just like I said it would." "Even though it seemed impossible." "The dust of oblivion is falling over our little matter." "The boss will be pleased." "Has the famous Pepe been around?" "He hasn't been here for a few days, sir." "What'll it be, gentlemen?" "Three tequilas, man." " What about you?" " I can't, sir, but thanks." "Come in." "It's so hot!" " Wow, you look so pretty!" " You think so?" "Don't think I'm rushing you, but..." "I expect more from you." "Now give me a kiss." " Why on earth did you come here?" " I'll be fine." "You'll see." "I still don't want you to risk it." "That brute is capable of anything." "Be quiet." "I know what I'm doing." "For now, get a drink for yourself and a glass of beer for me." "Want to dance?" "Hey, shoeshine boy!" "Come here." "Go in and see who's with Camelia, and tell me what you see." "Get a good look at them, then report back to me." "Yes, boss!" " Want a 20-cent shoeshine, sir?" " No." "Boss!" "She's dancing with the kid from the other day, that guy Guillermo." " Are you sure?" " I'm sure, boss." "I even talked to them." "For you." "Now go in there with your friend, and when the music stops and they go into the corner, you talk to Camelia and order some drinks from her." "But you keep her busy for a while, so that I can get in without her seeing me." "You got it?" "Okay, I got it." "You want to go in without her seeing you." "Hey, Camelia." "Come here." "We want some drinks." "I'm coming." " What'll you have to drink?" " Two tequilas." "Coming right up, okay?" "Watch out, Guillermo!" "Guillermo!" "Watch out!" "If I ever see you again..." " What'd you do, you bastard?" " Nothing." "You damn..." "Camelia, for God's sake!" "Dance, dance!" "How are you both?" "How've you been?" "Let me introduce a friend of mine." "How's it going?" "Pleased to meet you." "Come have a drink with us." "Sure, it's on me." "How come you haven't been around lately?" "You've been away for a long time." "While you all dance," "I'll order us some drinks from the bar." "By the way, how've things been around here?" "What?" "You're not from here?" "He and I found out about the stolen jewels and diamonds, and we've got the matter in hand." "So he's the one who knows everything and is going to inform on the Prince?" "Yeah, that's him." "Now I get it." "He can put up with a lot." "Such a beautiful woman... putting up with a brute like him." "If I were her, I would've told him to get lost... if I liked the kid." "Well, I wouldn't know what to do either." "Me neither." "What'd he say?" "He wants to see me alone in his room and apologize for the way he acted." "What do you think?" "Should I go?" "What do you want me to say?" "He needs to stop bothering you." "Yeah, he really needs to stop." "He scares your customers, but there's no point in bullying the kid." "I might as well get it over with." "Come in." "Come a little closer." "I'm not angry with you, because I miss you." "I hate to see you with that kid." "It gets me so mad." "Camila, you're one of a kind." "With anyone else, I wouldn't care." "I do like you and I do care about you." "That's why I'm jealous." "Hang your coat up over there." "What's that?" "Coffee." "So what the hell are you doing here?" "It's because I left home." "That's not what I asked." "Have you ever worked in another cabaret?" "No, ma'am." "Never." "So what are you crying to me for?" "Well, I left home because we're very poor." "Um, ma'am..." "What'll happen if I stay here while I find a job..." "Doing what?" "Well, I don't know how to do anything." "I'm always busy... but I don't mind seeing him with her." "I won't let them make fun of me." "He's not a friend." "I'll never see him like that because I love him... and I always will." "But I didn't know what to do." "On the other hand, it won't be the same... once he finds out." "This place is so boring!" "It's like a graveyard in here, isn't it?" "Take a look at yourself." "You're the boring one." "Stop fighting already." "So what if it's like a graveyard." "It's no big deal." "What's with you now?" "Even your eyes seem like they're open from sunrise to sunset." "Get off my back already." "Quit crying!" "You think it's no big deal?" "Well, I feel like it's killing me... day after day, more and more." "But miss..." "What are you doing in a place like this?" "Look at yourself." "You're barely an adult." "This isn't a place for you, but go and get me some drinks." "Well, that's what she told me." "Well, what can you do." "That idiot is talking with the old man." "What are they talking so much about?" "It's getting me worried." "Let her try to pick him up." "No, I won't allow it." "What do you care if that's what she wants to do?" "You'll see." "Hey, how's it going?" "It's so great to see you here again!" "Let's get some drinks." "We'll have a good time." "Come on!" "Calm down, Camelia." "I can't take it anymore." "Let's go to the table." "Stop drinking so much." "You're hurting yourself." "I can't go on suffering like this." "Back to work." "Don't believe it." "Only I know what I'm going through." "I really wish Guillermo would come." "Hey, man!" "Buy us a song." "What would you like us to play, miss?" " That one you're good at." " Okay!" "The last kiss you gave me" "I still feel it in my soul" "And now you don't remember kissing me" "You say our whole past is a lie" "You can't deny what we've been" "Time takes back what is his" "And even if you swear you've never loved me" "I know that's just a mask that your pride wears" "Emilio!" "Hey, I'll buy." "Look at those idiots!" "What's up?" "What's gotten into him?" "Look at the kid go." "He's not a kid anymore!" "Hey!" "What's going on over here?" "Okay, what'll everyone have?" "I'll buy, so you don't think I'm a freeloader." "Hey, hey!" "Slow down a minute." "First of all, tell me why you've been gone." "You want the truth?" "Well, I didn't have any money and I won't have anyone supporting me." "Hey, what's going on with you?" "I don't even recognize you anymore." "Nothing." "It's just that I have money and I'm really happy." "And after this job I've got coming up, things will get even better." " Isn't that right, Emilio?" " Yeah." "He let me borrow his suit because he's going to find me some work." "Well, what'll they have to drink?" "Three cognacs and, for you, whatever you want." "Three cognacs and an anisette." "Hey, what are you up to with Guillermo?" "Come on, don't get the kid mixed up in all that." "Shut up, and don't tell me how to handle my business." " Fine, but don't jump all over me." " It's always a fight with you." "Hey, so when is it?" "It has to happen by the 20th because that's the day they leave town, and we've got One-Eye working there as a maid." " You understand, right?" " Uh huh." "Give me 25 cents' worth here, and spray all of us with the other 25 cents." "Wow, what a showoff!" " One, two, three, four and five." " The two sweethearts!" "They are, aren't they?" "Look at them." "It smells nice, doesn't it?" "Attention please!" "The following danzón is dedicated to Mr. Emilio and those friends in his company." "They dedicated it to you, but if you don't mind, I'll dance." "What a lovely ring." "You really like it?" "Of course." "It's very tasteful and quite valuable." "It's a princely gift." "It sure is, since it was a prince who gave it to me." "A prince?" "What prince?" "That guy who's always out drinking and doing card tricks." "As I was saying, your life seems really interesting." "You're just what I'm looking for in a man." "It's too bad that, for now, I'm not thinking about marriage." "Well..." "who said anything about marriage?" "You'd make any woman happy, even if you didn't marry her." "Want to dance?" "What do you think?" "Have a look." " It's great." " This is the living room, here's the dining room, and over here's the kitchen." "You like it?" " Do you like it?" " I love it." "You haven't seen the best part yet." "Look." " Do you like it?" " I love it." "It's beautiful." "And I've set it up just for us to see each other, so you'll like it even more." " Really?" " I'm serious." "This way, you won't have to go to the cabaret anymore." "We need Gaston to think we broke up." "You understand?" "Come have a look." "I've got another surprise for you." ""From hell in the cabaret to heaven in your arms."" " Camelia" "But... so you don't feel like a bum or a freeloader, every day you're going to help me make the payments on the furniture." " What do you think?" " I like it." "I think it's a great idea." "But do you mind if I go?" "I have a meeting with Emilio." "No, don't go." "You're not going." "It's our first night in this house." "I have to go." "I can't afford to miss this meeting." "I owe Emilio money and..." "Listen, you're not going." " I gave him my word, and I'm going!" " No, you're not." " Look, don't make me..." " There's no need for threats." "You won't go because I don't want you to go." "And I don't want you to go because you mustn't go." " It won't do you any good." " Don't stick your nose in my business." "Well, I'll tell you again:" "You're not leaving here." "If you went, tomorrow you'd be disgraced and in jail." " What's that?" " You heard me." "If I allowed you to leave, at this same time tomorrow, you'd be in jail, and your mugshot would be in all the newspapers." "But how?" "It's not possible." "Emilio was going to use you as an accomplice in a robbery, and I brought you here so you wouldn't go with him." "Don't be a thief." "From now on, you're mine, and you have to be a decent man." "Okay?" "Come on." "Kiss me, my love." "You've had enough." "The money the boss agreed to send us should be here any minute." "Meanwhile, the jewels are already in his hands." "Now let's pack up, and at 3:00 AM we're out of here." "So... both of them are already there!" "Okay." "Sir, why'd you grab me?" "Why?" "Why isn't he here yet?" " If you try to trick us again, you're dead." " No, no, no!" "Sir!" "Okay, I'll take you to where the Prince is!" " No!" " Come on!" "Move it!" "Maybe... he betrayed us!" "First, you do the secret knock, then you say you've got something really important to tell them." "Who is it?" "Hands up!" "Listen up, guys..." "it's all over for you." "The best thing for you to do now is return the jewels." "It'll turn out better for you that way." "But sir... we're innocent." "We were just the boss's pawns." "Take us to where your boss is." "Come on!" "I'm glad I found you." "Yes, very glad." "So this is your new love nest." " Who's in the room?" " None of your business." "This is my home." "There's nothing for you to find here." "We already have a place for us to meet." "Well, if it's none of my business..." "Stay right where you are." "Leave!" "Go away!" "I promise you, everything will be alright." "I'll do whatever you want." "Now get out of here." "Go away, because if you don't leave..." "Well, then." "It looks like you've been expecting me." "I see now that you're all woman." "That's how I like 'em." " Calm down." " No, no, no!" "Don't open it!" "Help!" "Now it's your turn!" "I'm coming in!" "They're trying to kill the Prince's woman!" "Go through the home on the fifth floor to get up to the boarding house." " Open up!" "It's the police!" " Open up!" "Police." "Open up!" "It's the police." "Open up or we'll force the door." "Open it!" "Let's go." "They're not here." "Finally." "A new life awaits us."
