"The King" " Holbrook Blinn" ""Your Majesty, will you kindly sign the death sentence?"" "Thin threads of sunlight shimmer in the spring afternoon..." "The smell of roses bursts through the open window..." "And the foolish breeze whispers foolish thoughts." "The Queen Irene Rich" ""Your Majesty, the town of Seville, which has already sunk into the depths of depravity and sin, is now having a carnival."" ""Your Majesty, there is a carnival in Seville, and the people abandon themselves to the most unbridled debaucheries."" "Priest: "Your Majesty, Seville is having a carnival." "My duty as a good shepherd of the Lord is to lead these madmen to abstinence, fast, and prayer."

""Rosita!"" ""Rosita!"" ""Rosita!"" ""Rosita!"" ""Seville is asleep, and in the alley next to the picket fences she breaks the night's silence with serenade's unforgettable stanzas."" ""Seville is asleep, and yonder by the ivy-beaten wall her sly and enchanting smile beams the black-eyed beauty, Rosita." Mary Pickford" ""The stars of her eyes shine brighter and brighter through the veil- there is no beauty more tender than Rosita, the hero of this tale."" ""Olé!" "Rosita!" "Olé!"" ""What a wonderful cape- thank you, señora!" "You are too kind to poor Rosita."" ""Make way for His Majesty!" "Make way for the King!"" ""Carumba!" "Damn His Majesty, he drove away my audience!""

"Everyone would have given me something... suddenly the King appears, and they scatter every which way."" ""Paying taxes to the King?" "ME?" "Paying taxes?"" ""I'll pay him with a song he won't forget."" ""Seville is asleep, and under yonder bright moon that in heaven waxes, shines the almighty King's palace with the help of growing taxes."" ""Flowing right out of our pockets are our poor hard-earned pesetas...while the King and Queen fop in velvet and silk dresses."" ""We are tired of being poor when the castle is full of riches...join us now in a stand for justice...everyone this song reaches."" "That same evening the king decided to find out for himself exactly how deep his subjects had sunk into the depths of depravity."

"Now is the time of the Carnival, a time for freedom of songs and speech."" "Don Diego George Walsh" "This is to certify that any kind of assistance should be rendered to Captain Diego de Bazan who is returning from an expedition in the West Indies."

""Kind Señorita, I am not allowed to tell you what fate awaits you."" ""You'll forget how to laugh when you hang from the gallows."" "Your Majesty, killers and robbers go to the gallows." "I am a soldier." "I am innocent of any such crimes..." "I ask that you grant me my last request- if I am to die, I wish to be shot like an officer of the King." "Don Diego de Bazan" ""Don't you know me?" "I am the King whom you ridicule in your songs."" ""What sweet water." "Where do you have such rivers?"" ""I don't understand." "First I get arrested, dragged down the street, thrown in jail, and then they put me in a carriage, take me to a castle, and give me fine clothes."" ""And my dress fits you perfectly."" ""A token of love from His Majesty."" ""His Majesty wishes to redeem his past mistakes and asks you to accept his villa at the town's gate, complete with all the furnishings."" ""Carumba!" "Damn your pride, Rosita." "Think about us!"" ""It is time for you to repay me for all my good deeds..."" ""Haven't I raised you?" "Who taught you to wear a comb in your hair, to sing, to dance the seguidilla and the malagueña?"" ""And what happened to that little girl, Rosita?"" ""Don't worry." "She'll come to watch your hanging."" ""To serve these beggars- how humiliating!"" ""We will not be respected as long as Rosita remains a street singer."

"Your majesty, killers and robbers go to the gallows." "I am a soldier." "I am innocent of any such crimes..." "I request that you grant me my last request- if I am to die, I wish to be shot like an officer of the King." "Don Diego de Bazan" ""Your Majesty, I am beside myself!"" ""Your servants laugh at you behind your back from dusk till dawn..."" ""and only because Rosita doesn't have a title- a noble heritage."" ""You will do nothing?" "We are not used to such treatment, Señor King." "Give Rosita a husband, a noble husband, with a title."" ""No?" "Then we leave for home this very moment!"" "Your majesty, killers and robbers go to the gallows." "I am a soldier." "I am innocent of any such crimes..." "I request that you grant me my last request- if I am to die, I wish to be shot like an officer of the King." "Don Diego de Bazan" ""Hold it!" "I have an idea." "Patience, my dear Señora, your daughter shall receive a title."" ""Marry the girl to the Captain- then make her a widow."" ""His benevolent Majesty has decided to grant you your request."" ""As you requested, you will be shot instead of hanged- but only on one condition." "On the day of the execution, you shall be married to a woman- a woman who shall remain incognito."" ""Give my thanks to his benevolent Majesty."" "The next day, according to her mother's wish, Rosita is taken to be married- with her eyes covered." ""His Majesty orders you to cover your face."" ""Let me look at my husband."" ""Take me to the King at once!"" ""He bared his sword to protect me!" "Pardon him for my sake!"" ""The law demands his execution!"" "The Queen has witnessed many a treachery from her royal husband, but she could never get used to them." ""I hate you!" "Filthy King!" "Dirty little King!"" ""Very well, I shall pardon him, but justice must be served- at least for the sake of appearances."" ""A harlot insults the King, and he doesn't even bother to call the guards."" ""Is it possible that a mere fling has gone this far?"" ""No... it is time to take measures- to put out the burning passion in the King's heart- before it gets out of hand." ""An evil twist of fate!" "I married her to the man she loves."" ""HE MUST DIE!"" ""Happiness in love- misery in the game."" "According to tradition, the condemned man shall be granted his final wish." ""I want to see that woman- my wife."" ""The execution will be merely for appearances."" ""When they fire, fall to the ground." "Whatever happens, don't move."" "Dawn...and like the sound of distant surf, the last excitement of the Carnival reaches through the walls of the prison." ""Remember..." "Whatever happens, don't move."" ""Have you received a second order from the King?" "No?" "Then proceed."" ""Señora!" "Laughter during such an occasion..."" ""The last order of the King- death to Captain Diego."" ""Take his body to my villa."" "The last day- the last excitement of the Carnival." ""Rosita!" "..." "Rosita!"" ""Rosita!" "Sing to us, Rosita!"" ""Seville, awaken from your slumber- our hearts have fire still." ""Keep your promise to the letter, even death we will not fear." "Hear this, oh cruel ruler, for your crimes you shall pay dear." "Rosita returns to the villa one last time, to spend a final moment alone with the body of her beloved." ""Señora, His Majesty will honor you with his presence." "Shall we set a breakfast table for two?"" ""For three!" "Let Death be our guest."" ""A setting for three?"" ""MURDERER!"" ""Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness."" ""My dear, I have long known about your frivolous disposition." "But your affection for this Rosita is starting to get out of hand..."" ""That is why I decided to cancel your last order."" ""Rosita is no threat to me." "Isn't that right, my dear?""
