"Man:" "Now I can buy the medicines I need." "Porter:" "You wait here." "You'll be called in later if there's any work for you." " You've kept us waiting for three days." " It's not fair." "This time you've got to let us in." "I'm not the boss." "I have my orders." "Woman:" "Then have some humanity as well." "Yesterday we stood out here for five hours under that sun." "They called the others." "Why not us?" "Well, looks like we're heading for a war, Sergeant." "They told us to expect troop movements." "What more do you want?" "If they send me into action with all those gorgeous females... boy!" "Sir, can I speak to you?" "Talking to me?" "That's right, Captain." "I'd like a word with you." "Now look." "I'm a sergeant, not a captain." "What can I do for you, young lady?" "Would you please read this for me?" "You see, I'm not sure if they want to take me on or if it says there's nothing for me yet." "Is this your name here?" "They tell me that's what's written, only I don't know how to read." "Is it maybe Carmen?" "Yes, the first name is Carmen, but I don't know why they asked you to come here." "I'm afraid I'm not very much use to you." " I'm sorry." " Thank you all the same." "I bet you're a native of Navarra, Valladolid, right?" "Not far from there, anyway." "Oh, I knew right away that you were from the north like me, even before I heard you speak." "Have you been in Seville long?" "We were all transferred two days ago from the fort in Cordova." "I've been here six months ever since the death of my poor mother." "We gypsies aren't very well liked and it's difficult for us to get regular work." "You'll get a job." "I know." "I'm sure of it." "What are you doing tonight?" "Maybe we could meet and you could tell me if I brought you good luck." "I'm afraid that just wouldn't be possible." "I live with friends, you see." "Ah, here's the porter." "You can come in now, and hurry up about it." " So they're going to take me on?" " You wait over there." "They'll see you with all the other women, you understand?" " Thank you." " Come on, get a move on." " All right!" " No need to shout!" "We've waited long enough!" "Thank you, Captain." "So you brought me luck after all." "Phew, no wonder they let the women undress when they come to work here." "This place is like a furnace." "Hey, Sergeant, why don't we ask permission to strip, too?" "It's just as hot here as it is in the factory." "Any gentleman feeling the heat may unfasten the top button of his jacket when off duty and out of the public eye." "The best of it is when I think of all those women running around half naked, I get so dizzy I can't see the cards, so the corporal's winning hands down." " Mind you..." " Sergeant, come quickly!" "Those women are murdering each other in there!" "Quick." " Out of my way." " Woman:" "You dirty witch!" " I'll show you!" " Silence!" "Silence, all of you!" "Woman:" "You're nothing but a filthy gypsy!" " Woman ♪2:" "Say that again!" "I dare you!" " A filthy gypsy!" " Silence, I say!" " A filthy witch!" "Silence!" "Silence!" "Ah!" "She's a filthy gypsy witch, I tell you." "I know she's out for my blood!" " Who started it?" " She did!" "That gypsy started it!" "Come on, repeat what you said!" " Repeat it!" " You dirty whore!" "You dirty whore!" " You filthy hypocrite!" " You're a whore!" "Silence!" "Silence!" " Oh, my God, I'm dying!" "Help!" " Take her to the infirmary." " I'm dying." "She's killed me." " The woman's hurt." "Liar!" "And take that one outside." "Give me the knife." "I can walk on my own." "Let me go." "I won't run away." " Let me go!" "_ Woman ♪3:" "Gypsy!" "Woman ♪4:" "Trash!" "Filthy gypsy, get out of here!" "We don't want your kind around here." "Those gypsies are all alike." "First they ask for help, and then they cause nothing but trouble." "Here you are." "Get yourself a couple of men and take her to the police station." "I'll send the knife later..." " with the report." " Very good, sir." "Oh, please, why must we go this way?" "What's wrong with it?" "My friends live around here." "I don't want them to see me walking between those two soldiers as if I was a rotten thief." "I'm afraid there is no other way to the police station." "I told you that woman started it, calling me a witch and a dirty gypsy." "What would you have done if you had been in my place?" "Oh, please, Sergeant." "All right, you go ahead by yourself and we'll follow." " You two stay further behind." " Thank you so much, Sergeant." "You're right." "After all, she's not a bad kid." "I wouldn't say that." "She had been only too ready to kill that woman, I assure you." "She's gone!" "I might have known it." "Here." "This is your food." "I don't want it, so you might as well take it away." "Well, it's all the same to me." "One of your relations has just brought you some homemade bread." "You don't want to eat it on its own." "I've no family in Seville." "But it was passed by the officer of the guard in the usual way." "So only someone in your family could have brought it." " You know that." " I tell you, it isn't for me." "Leave me in peace, Pedro." "I know how you're feeling, Jose, and things are going to get much rougher before you're through with this." "They'll have their knives in you, Jose." "However, it's only a matter of time before you get stripes back again." "Carmen:" "Hello there, Sergeant!" "Well, fancy seeing you reduced to guard duty." "Oh, I know we have some accounts to settle, but don't be angry with me." "There's nothing we can do about it tonight anyway." "Come on!" "No point in making a tragedy over it." "I want to talk to you." "Come down here." "It wouldn't be wise." "Like some of my wine?" "There you are!" "I pour it before your feet, my precious." "Now, surely there's something you'd like to do." "I'll say put you over my knee and thrash you." "I was expecting something like that." "All because of a couple of silly stripes." "Tell me you don't like me, but don't make a fuss over nothing." "That would be more honest, don't you think?" "Carmen!" "Listen, If you want to thank me for the little gift I sent you," "I often go down to Lillas' Place in Triana." "Why don't you come and see me there?" "It's better for you if I don't." "Will you come or not?" "I'll come." "Well, now I have to go and dance again." "Some lucky men are kept by the army, but not me." "I'm a working girl." "Hey, soldier, come here!" "Straight from the cradle." "No, I'm sorry." "Jose!" "I thought you'd never get here." "I'll just go and tell Lillas, and then we can leave at once." "Oh, this place smells like a fish shop!" "Lillas, this is my sergeant who defended me at the factory that day." "Can you manage without me tonight?" "I'd like to go now." "All right, you run along." "Marvelous." "There we are." "I'm ready." "You know, I was hoping we'd meet again." "I'm so glad to see you." "Where are we going?" " To the police station." " Oh, you're joking!" "Did you really think you could buy me off so easily?" "But who wants to buy you?" "I only wanted to do you a kindness." "You helped me escape, and we gypsies pay our debts." "Escaping wasn't my idea." "I want to see justice done, so I'm taking you in." "All to put back your precious little stripes again." "You're so funny!" "Don't waste time." "Listen, I'm sorry you were punished." "But now I'm in an even worse position than you are, because now I can never go back to the factory." "And where else can I find work these days?" "And if you really want to know," "I've already been to the police station myself and I saw the colonel." "I got invited to his house and that's how I got permission to send you the bread." "I don't believe it." "You know, I thought you'd have understood." "I wanted to see you." "It was silly, I know, but I believed you wanted to see me, too." "Look, we're rich tonight." "And I was looking forward to some fun." "Stay with me, won't you?" "You know I will." "What do you think I came here for?" "Oh, you're terrible!" "For a moment you really got me scared." "If I had wanted to arrest you, I wouldn't have come on my own." "You know that." "Be careful you don't drop everything." "Oh, I can't wait to see her face when she sees you." "She's very nice, but you mustn't rub her up the wrong way." "She's very touchy, you know." "Now remember, let me do all the talking." "Dorotea!" "Dorotea!" "Dorotea!" "It's me, Carmen." "At this time of night?" "What is it now?" "Go somewhere else." "You can't come here." "But we've got lots of food, Dorotea." "Please, don't be like that." "Go somewhere else." "I've had enough of your nonsense." "An hour, not a second longer, I promise." "I've heard that before." "All right, bring him in." "You must try this." "It's very special." " What is it?" " It's a secret." "And if you eat it from my fingers, something wonderful will happen." "You see?" "It's magic." "You're a witch." "That surprise you?" "I'm a gypsy." "I thought you knew that already." "If you don't like my love potions, then I shall give them to the mosquitoes." "There you are." "Now they'll all be so busy, they won't sting us." "You come here." "Oh, they reduce you to a private's rank, but you start ordering me around as if you were a colonel." "And I obey you like a slave." "Tell me what to do to please you." "Read your palm for you?" "Shall I?" "Well, what have you seen?" "Nothing." "I was pretending." "Kiss me please." "Listen, Jose." "Can you hear the music?" "I know, I'll do a gypsy dance for you." "I'll dance just for you as if you really were a colonel." "It made me so sad when I saw you all alone outside that evening." "I could have murdered you." "I'm not much of a dancer, but nobody seems to mind." "You know well enough that men don't think about your dancing when they watch you." "Oh, really?" "What do they think about, then?" "Aah!" "They think, "I've got to kiss her to death and eat her all up!"" " Please!" " This time you won't escape." "Oh, yes, I will." "I know what you want, but I shall run away." "That's what you think." "But I don't want you." "You're not my type." "You're my type, though." "Oh, you're squashing me!" "Oh, please, I have to go back soon." "You say you like me, but you don't even dare to climb over a barrack wall for me." "What'll you do for me?" "You're still here, Sergeant." "Go away." "I've paid my debts and we're all square now, aren't we?" "Yes, I've been paid in full." "But it won't happen again." "You're beautiful, but not beautiful enough to make me ever want to see you again." "And perhaps the better for both of us." "I'm sorry." "It's such a pity." "It might have been good." "Still, it's right for you to stay away from me." "You and I are from two different worlds." "Jose!" "Keep away from me." "I can only bring you bad luck." "Dorotea:" "Are you two still here?" "Hurry up and get out." "Good morning." "Well, what can I do for you?" "I'd like to talk to Lillas, please." "She's not here." "And neither is the one you're looking for." "She's in Portugal." "In Portugal?" " What do you want?" " I have to speak to Carmen." "I'm Jose." "I don't care who you are." "Carmen hasn't been here for ages." "You'd better try somewhere else." "Tell me where I can find her." "How the hell should I know?" "Jose, it's me, Carmen." "You mean, you've forgotten me already?" "I'm not very flattered." "Well, do you want to murder me?" "What are you doing here?" "I heard you were on guard, so I came to see you." "Do you mind?" "I looked for you everywhere." " You mustn't stay here." " All right, I won't." "I've got to hurry anyway." "I came here to ask you something." "Would you like to earn a little money on the side?" "Then let some of my friends pass tonight." "No one can pass through here." "I can't ignore orders." "Oh, Jose, you're such a fool." "You disobeyed orders when you stayed with me at Dorotea's." "Oh, please do this for me, and then I'll meet you again tomorrow evening." " It's impossible." " I see." "I shouldn't have come." "The fact is, I'm in trouble, Jose." "I borrowed an awful lot of money and now my friends want me to give it back." "But if I can do this favor for them, they'll forget all about it." "Oh, I know it's wrong to ask you, Jose, but you do see my position." "So now it's smuggling that you've sunk to." "Oh, smuggfing" "You're so dramatic." "They're just poor people who have to earn a living, that's all." "But if you can't, never mind." "I know plenty of officers who will turn a blind eye when it suits them." "They appreciate my gratitude, which is more than you do." " Sorry I asked." " Come here!" "You make me sick." "You wait till they order you to hang yourself and see how you feel then!" "Carmen." "Let go of me!" "Why won't you be reasonable?" "I'm sick of your stinking morals." "The men who don't parade their virtue are the ones who hang onto their rank." "What would it cost you to do this for me?" "It's much a little thing for you, Jose, and it means everything to me." "You're so good and I like you so much." "I'd really be in terrible trouble without your help, you know." "Meet me tomorrow at 6:00 and I'll tell you all about it." "Jose:" "You're such a liar, Carmen." "Carmen:" "No, I'm not." "I know you won't believe it, but I can't get you out of my mind." "Jose:" "Where have you been all this time?" "Carmen:" "I'll tell you tomorrow when we meet, and then you'll be glad you helped me." "I love you, Jose." "I didn't ask you to do it for nothing." "Take the money." "And don't pretend that it wasn't a business arrangement, 'cause I made it clear from the start that I'd pay you, so there." "Or maybe you think I should fall at your feet in gratitude." "Take the money and forget all about your damned absurd morality." "Well, why don't you take it?" "It won't burn you." "Go on!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "And don't come back again!" "You're just a filthy little slut." "Go back to the gutter where you belong." "I've had enough of you!" "What right have you got to complain, I'd like to know, when you're the one who's running after me?" "You're full of principles till you want something, and then it's different, because all your law and order doesn't mean a thing!" "I broke the law, thanks to you." "And if I see you again, I'll murder you." "You..." "I'll kill you!" "You burn in hell!" "Carmen:" "Jose, don't hate me." "If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have come here to look for you." "Forgive me, please." "I'm sorry." "Can't you leave me in peace?" "You know, it's your fault, Jose." "I wanted to meet you today to explain that I wouldn't be free tonight, as I've found some work." "But when you arrived and your face was so hard," "I believed you wanted me to pay you in kind." "And it just got me furious." "We'll never be any good to each other." "It's finished." "No, Jose." "I don't know what's happening to me, but I love you." "I've never loved anyone before, not even myself." "Why won't you believe me?" "The fact that I've found a job with the countess will make things so much better." "It means I can finish with all this poverty." "You're lying." "Shh!" "And one day, when I do begin to tell you lies," "I'm sure you'll believe it's the truth." "You ought to see the countess." "She's wrinkled and old, but she still wants all the men around." "Where did you get to know her?" "I read the cards for her once and she was pleased." "Now she wants me to go and see her to tidy the house and so on and keep her company every now and then." "She's so alone." "And where does your countess live?" "It's quite near." "You could come with me." "I thought I'd never find you again." "And then I suddenly thought of the church." "Well, here we are." "This is where the countess lives." "Look, Jose!" "That's one of her lovers." " Is tomorrow at 6:00 all right?" " Yes." "Where?" "What do you mean where?" "At Dorotea's as usual." "But didn't you say you had to work?" "Oh, of course!" "How stupid." "I can't come till 7:00." "See you tomorrow." "Just a second." "So you've started following me now?" "Go away!" "I am not playing games any longer." "You leave me alone, I tell you!" "I don't account to anyone for what I do with my life." "Quiet, both of you." "You'll cause a scandal." "Yeah?" "Who is in there?" "No one, you crazy fool." "You're nothing but a revolting clown." "You fill me with disgust." "Jose!" "He mustn't go in." "Carmen:" "No, Jose!" "Help me, Lieutenant." "I don't know what this man wants of me." "Well, this is a surprise, Private." "Just what do you want?" "I'm sorry, Lieutenant." "I didn't know you were here." "Stand to attention when I address you, Private." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "Just give him orders and he'll obey." "And now, Private, you can show the young lady what I've taught you." "About face." "I ordered you to get out of here." "Did you hear me?" "Get out." "You insolent scum." "No, Jose!" "Dorotea:" "Do something, can't you?" "Make them stop!" "Jose, do you want to be shot?" "You're crazy." "Carmen:" "No!" "Let go of me!" "Aah!" "He's dead." "See what you've done." "He didn't mean a thing to me, Jose." "Your life is ruined forever." "Completely ruined." "Jose." "Jose, it's me." "Get up." "You've got to be strong." "We must go to my friends." "They'll help us." "They'll save you, Jose." "Oh..." "Come on." "Jose..." "Carmen:" "Don't try to move, Jose." "The fever's gone down, but now you must sleep." "Man:" "I've changed the bandage." "Carmen:" "We must burn his uniform." "Man:" "I made a bundle of it and buried it." "Carmen:" "No, no." "We must burn it." "Man:" "If he gets better, will he stay with us?" "Carmen:" "Of course." "Give him some more of that herb tea." "He must sleep." "Hey, you, wait a minute!" "Where do you think you're going?" "You're too weak to be out here." "How do you expect to stay on your feet when you haven't eaten for more than a week?" "Who are you?" "You mean you really don't know?" "That's a nice way to thank me for looking after you all this time." "Come on, let me help you back inside." " Where are we?" " Zurca." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Take it easy now." "The village was once full of people like anywhere else." "It's almost uninhabited now." "The young ones all go away." "No life for them here." "The old ones and the babies survive on goat's milk." "The place isn't so bad, but there's lot of poverty." "The ground's so arid, you can't grow a thing." "Here we are." "Better lie down and I'll bring you some milk, huh?" "They're good people, though." "The ones that are still here go out of their way to do you a favor." "Better now?" "Still weak." "I won't give you any more of that stuff to make you sleep now you're on your feet, but you've got to do just what I tell you till the others return." "Here, come on, drink this." "It'll do you good." "Where's Carmen?" "I don't know, but she'll be back soon." "She watched over you day and night." "I'd never have believed it of her." "You know you've got a large price on your head, Jose." "You know, no one believed that I could cure you, Jose." "Now you must get to know the others who helped save you." "But be careful." "You mustn't say a single word to anyone about us two." "So please, swear you won't." "Why not?" "It's better that way, Jose." "We know that I love you and you love me." "Still, I'd rather the others didn't know." "Try to understand and be on your guard with them." "Dancairo and Juan will be staying with you for a few days." "Then we're all moving out." "Well, made up your mind about Gibraltar?" "Maybe he could go there." "I can't." "They know my face too well." "Carmen:" "It doesn't matter so much who goes there." "We can talk about that when the time comes." "The main thing is to be quite sure you can handle everything else." "Meantime, Dancairo, why don't you tell him what you found out in Seville?" "They're convinced that you've fled to the north and that's where they're looking for you now." "They called off the search in and around the city several days ago." "So you're free to wander about as openly as you like if you've got the guts." "That's enough." "Obviously, you can never go back to Seville or any place where you're known." "You'll have to be on your guard in case there's trouble." "Though I doubt if even his friends would recognize him now." "Anyway, if you want to stay and work with us, we're ready to take you on." "It depends on the kind of work." "Now that you're not getting the three good meals a day from the king, you'll have to make a living somehow." "Listen, I have to go now, Jose." "Come with me and I'll tell you all about it." "Jose:" "I ran away from my village when I was still a boy, and I've always been reserved and impulsive ever since." "I wanted to make something of myself, and I failed from the start." "I was waiting for a promotion before I went to visit my family." "And now I will never see them again." "You were right that night, Carmen, my life is ruined." "That's not true, Jose." "We'll get by if we stay together." "Living like outlaws, I suppose." "Cheating the state and robbing your neighbors." "It's not for me." "It's not my idea of life either and nor is it theirs." "None of us wanted to live this way, but sometimes you find you have no choice, because respectable people have no pity." "And if you make a mistake, one little mistake..." "Forget it, Carmen." "All right, but you just try going to a fine lady and saying, "I murdered an officer by accident, but please give me a job and don't tell the police."" "You try it, and then tell me if you don't feel like stealing from your so-called neighbor." "Being born a gypsy is considered enough to make me a criminal right from the start." "When I was only four years old," "I was already being sent to beg on the streets." "Yes, I am what I always had to be." "But all the same, I love you." "Well, then, let's go away together and begin all over again, Carmen." "A new life, a clean one." " Where could we go?" " To the new world..." "America." "We can find someone to give us a passage and hide us." "But no, it's impossible." "We haven't the money." "Oh, but you're wrong." "It doesn't have to be impossible." "I'm tired, too." "I'd be so glad to get away." "The money is necessary, but we can get it." "In Gibraltar there's an English diplomat who's going to transfer an enormous quantity of gold to Granada in a few days' time." "Enough to solve all our problems." "He's so rich, it's just not true." "So it wouldn't harm anybody very much, Jose." "You brought me here to make me talk of that?" "I want to stay with you and I'm prepared to find the means." "Jose!" "Jose!" "Thank goodness." "I was afraid that you wouldn't come back." "If you had robbed me of my horse," "I swear I'd have hunted you to the ends of the earth." "Why, I might even have murdered you." "So that's how you trust me." "If you promise not to laugh, I'll tell you something, Jose." "Why should I want to laugh?" "I had a brother once, but when he was only five years old, he died." "He was a funny little kid." "I don't know if he was backward or whether he was suffering from some illness or other." "Anyway, he never spoke a single word." "He could hear as well as anyone else, but he would only communicate with his hands and his eyes." "Oh, I loved him, and I took him with me just about everywhere." "But when I began to work along with the smugglers," "I had to leave the kid at home, of course." "And he wasn't there when I went back." "He'd died while I was away." "And that's the reason why I haven't been home since." "But what I wanted to tell you was this." "As we were passing through Badaucin one day," "I saw him there in a field." "This horse, I mean." "He was all alone." "And I don't know why, but it made me think of my brother." "I stole him just because of that." "And I think he's my brother here on earth again." "He's been so gentle and obedient with me." "I know he's the kid returned to keep me company." "It's a beautiful story." "Now I know why he means so much to you." "Jose, have you decided to stay with us?" "Carmen made it all clear." "And I'll stay if they accept my conditions." "Jose:" "During the next few days, we must watch the road carefully and check how long it takes for a carriage to get here from the crossroads, going at a normal pace." "We'll post someone up there to give us the signal." "Juan can begin digging the hole up on the cliff right now." "And don't forget it has to be at least five feet deep." "And once I get up there and start digging, how long am I supposed to stay?" "A month if necessary." "Then why don't you do it?" "It'd suit you much better." "Give you enough wine, you'd be happy in hell." " What do you mean by that?" " Forget it, Dancairo." "Now, as I said, we need two men at least, but three would be better." "The third man would only be used in case of necessity, of course." "No, no, we've always shared everything equally." "The more of us there are, the less we get." "Better keep it down to two." "Juan's an idiot, but he's the best shot in Spain." "I said no shooting, and I mean it." "Very well." "There'll be no shooting." "It's your plan." "That way, the Englishman will only realize his gold has been stolen when he reaches Granada." "If anyone is wounded, let alone killed, we'll have all the police in Spain after us" " in a matter of hours." " You're right." "Look, you know that in case of emergency," "Carmen'll pass us a message." "Or better still, ask Roxana." "She knows where we are." "What do you want?" "I want to buy a bridle for my horse." "I see." "And who told you to come here?" "My friend, Dancairo." "Well, you'd better take some skins and go to number seven, Avenue de la Serna." "Ask to see Carmen." "Tell her you're a peddler and that you come from Guadix." "I understand." "Remember, if he comes in, we don't know each other." "And don't forget he speaks Spanish." "Wait here." "Well, now, how much do I owe you?" "You said 30 didn't you?" "Here you are." "The skins aren't worth half what you asked for them, but the master's in a generous mood today." "I can't tell you, these people are enough to drive you mad." "It's only because we must have that gold that I can face them at all." "Here, take this." "I've written everything there." " When do you expect to leave?" " Tuesday afternoon." "And I said that road was the best because it's much quicker." "So do please tell Dancairo that everything must go perfectly smoothly." "Otherwise, they'll say it's all my fault." "You leave it to me." "I'd like to kiss you so much." "Isn't this place magnificent?" " There he is." "That's him." " So what do you expect us to do?" "Spring to attention?" "If you're wise, you won't provoke the lad." "Leave him alone." "Careful now." "You could blow up half the mountain with that." "Who are those two?" "One's a man from my village, name of Miguel." "The other one's Garcia, Carmen's husband." " Carmen's what?" " Husband." "He was in prison." "She's been trying to get him out for the last two years, and now she's done it." "You be careful, Jose." "He means a whole lot of trouble." "Careful of what?" "Well, Jose... you can tell us all about it." "These are our new companions, Miguel and Garcia." "Our law-abiding leader, but nobody wants a sermon from you, Preacher." "The carriage'll pass on Tuesday with Carmen and the Englishman inside." "There'll be one escort." "The chest of gold will be under the floor." "I've already got all the dynamite we need." "Who wants dynamite?" "Afraid of blood, soldier boy?" "No, I'm not afraid." "There won't be any shooting, though." "I became the commander just to avoid bloodshed." "And if you don't like it, you're free to go away." "I wouldn't shout so much if I were in your shoes." "Listen to me, all of you." "Remendado will keep watch and give us the signal." "Juan will be on top of the cliff, ready to light the fuse, and I will be down in the road to meet the carriage." "You two must be waiting for us at the turn-off, as we agreed before." "Remember that everything has to be done as quickly as possible." "Is something wrong, Carmen?" "No, of course not." "Why should there be?" "I'm so happy being with you." "Don't be afraid, dearest." "You're going to stay with me forever." "Stop!" "Stop!" "The road's blocked." "You can't get through." "Come here, will you?" "What's happened?" "What are you talking about?" "A landslide." "There's been a landslide." "The road's full of rocks." "Sir, for years I've been using this road and it's always been safe and quiet." "If I were you, I'd turn back and at once, sir." "This landslide could be part of an ambush." "But that's impossible." " Is much of the road covered?" " Come and look." "It's quite impossible to get through, sir." "You stay here." "You come with me, if you don't mind." "It'll take a long time to clear a path through all that, I'm afraid." "Oh, don't worry about that." "I'll pay you well." "Come on, let's have a look." "For heaven's sake, hurry." "Hah!" "Hyah!" "Look, sir, the carriage!" "Stop!" "Stop, I say!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "HYah!" "Hyah!" "Hah!" "HYah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Whoa!" "Come on, quickly." "Quick, Miguel." "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" " Englishman:" "What happened?" " Jose:" "He stole two horses." "Quickly." "The lady's not well." " Are you all right, my dear?" " I was so frightened." " It was awful." "I feel so bad." " I know, my dear." "You've had a nasty shock, but it's all over now." "Was he alone?" "Yes, I'm sure there was no one else there." "As soon as I arrived, they took their horses and fled." "I couldn't follow him because I had to hold back the carriage, but I'm sure I wounded him." " Oh, dear." "Oh, dear." " Guard:" "Excellency." "All this looks fishy to me." "I want to take a look around." "All right, but be careful." "But you're mad." "Come back." "It's dangerous." "He'll bring your horse back, don't worry." "Carmen:" "I don't want to stay here." "I'm so frightened." "Take me away." "Please, please, take me away." "The young lady's right." "And in my opinion, you'd be wise to turn back, sir." "You'd be foolish to face such a journey with only two horses and the young lady so unwell." "Sefior!" "The game's gone on long enough." "Put your hands up and drop that pistol." "But you'll ruin it all." "Go away!" "You're crazy!" "That'll do, Preacher." "You're worse than the police, you filthy coward." "No!" "Look out, over there!" "We've got to get him." "That fool Juan should have killed him." "He mustn't get away." "It's over for us." "We've come to the beginning of the end." "Remendado, thank God I found you." "We can't leave you here." "Go away, Jose." "Go away." "No, you know I couldn't." "You've got to try..." "It's not worth the effort, Jose." "I'm..." "I'm going to die." "The explosion must have frightened the horse and he ran away." "I tried to get him back, but that soldier saw me on..." "On the hill and fired." "Jose, you take the horse." "I want him to be with you." "Don't speak now." "You've got to save your strength." " We must try and reach the others." " No, no, go away." "Save yourself, at least." "Please, Jose." "Leave me... ah!" "Leave me here, Jose." "Jose:" "Stop!" "Stop, Garcia!" "Come here." "Give me a hand, quickly." "Dismount and help me put the boy on the horse." "He's dying, Garcia." "He's dying, I tell you." "We mustn't waste time on that." "That damn guard managed to get away, and by now all the police in town'll be after us." "We must get 'em off our tracks somehow." "Abandon the horses and take to the mountains." "All right, then." "We must carry him ourselves, Garcia." "We can't let him die like this." "You're right." "You murderer!" " Murderer!" " You're yellow, Preacher." "You swine." " I could kill you if I wanted to." " No." "No." "No." "Preacher, that's enough." "We've got to get away." "What's done is done." "We must get the gold and try to save our own skins now." "Why did you do it?" "Why did you do it?" "You didn't want him to suffer, did you?" "Let go of me." "You're nothing but a filthy criminal." "Well, that's just too bad, isn't it?" "'Cause in future, I'm the one that's giving the orders, Preacher." "But a filthy criminal!" "We're all just about done for." "Why don't we stop for a moment, if only to decide what to do next?" "We'll make our plans when we're safe up there." "I'll take that." "There's a village way down in the valley." "It's pretty obvious that Carmen's the only one we can risk sending." "So she'll just have to go and get us everything we need..." "Clothing, some food and water, and information." "She must find out which areas they're searching for us and make sure they're kept well off our track." "That miserable guard will have reported the three of us, but Carmen's the innocent victim, that's all." "Why, she could report him, too, for having abandoned her to the mercy of thieves." "Kiss me." "Off you go." "Best foot forward." "Make a statement to the police about those wicked robbers and send them all off in the wrong direction." "Go on, and come back as soon as you can." "Go with her as far as the road at least since you know the area." "No, and I'll tell you why not." "I don't trust you two." "Let's send Jose." "I don't want anyone." "I can go by myself." "I'll come back in two days if not before." "Don't worry." "Carmen, wait for me." "I'll go with you." "Let's get away from here and escape on our own." "Are you mad?" "That's just what they're hoping for." "You stay and keep an eye on them." "And remember that money is our only hope of salvation." "I'll be back soon, Jose." "Wait till we have to tell Enriques we'll pay him in sovereigns." "The idea of living in America isn't so bad." "Now we've the money to get there." "It's only that..." "there are too many of us." "Hey, Preacher, bring that here." "You can come and get it." "Dancairo, tell the preacher to obey orders, or I'll make him regret the day he was born." "We don't want his kind with us." "Listen, Preacher." "I've got nothing personal against you." "It's the idea of having to share one ounce of that gold with you that turns my stomach." "On your feet." "Did you hear, Preacher?" "That's better, Preacher." "That's it." "That's it." "Come on." "Come on if you've got the guts." "Come on, Preacher." "That's it." "Know a bayonet, don't you?" "Come on." "That's it." "That's it." "Now let's see what they taught you in the army, eh?" "Preacher." "Come on." "Get up, you coward." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "You didn't expect that, did you, Preacher?" " I can't see anymore." " Here I am." "I don't want to kill you right now." "I want to have some more fun with you." "Preacher... stinking, moralizing, filthy preacher." "Get up, you coward." "Get on your feet." "Preacher." "You won't get far on your own, so I wouldn't even try to start if I were you." "What's wrong with you?" "You mean you thought I was hiding the money to keep it for myself?" "That's what you mean, eh?" "Or do you want to keep it all?" "Don't move or I swear you'll get the same treatment that you gave Garcia." "I was going to be the next one, wasn't I?" "But you made a mistake, because I'll murder you first." "I don't want to murder anyone." "But it's madness for us to wait up here forever." "If anything delays Carmen, then what do we do?" "You haven't thought of that." "Perhaps we'll die of hunger or go raving mad with thirst." "Better bury the gold for the present and go find the things we need." "And if you don't want to come with me, then I'll go on my own." "You're right." "We must get away from here before I go out of my mind." "Look at me." "My hands are trembling." "I'm always the same way when I can't get anything to drink." "Leave me alone." "Go away from me." "Go away!" "Dancairo." "It's one of my attacks." "Keep away from me." " Leave me alone." " Dancairo." "Ca" W" 90 away?" "Away!" "Go away." "Leave me alone." "Dancairo:" "They're not peasants." "Wait till they get closer." "Jose:" "Just our luck." "They won't have a thing to eat with them." "The mules'll be useful, anyway." "I'll go down." "You wait up here." "Jose:" "I'm coming, too." "Dancairo:" "Stop." "Put your hands up." "Carmen." "How lovely." "For a moment you thought I was a real lady." "Come on, I haven't much time." "I brought you some food and clothes, and I'll leave you that mule." "You'll need it to take everything to Gaucin." "To Sancho's place." "You know where he lives." "Why Gaucin?" "Oh, of course you must let me explain." "After I'd been walking for an hour, a big coach came along, full of people all going to Gaucin for the corrida." "And guess who was with them." "Lucas, my old friend, the greatest bullfighter in Andalusia." "Lucas lent me money to buy everything." "I only have to ask." "The money we have is more than enough for us." "To my mind Jose's right." "Now we must only think of how to get away and quickly if we don't want the police to catch up with us." "And you, too." "I know." "Now listen to me." "Lucas' best friend will be sailing from Malaga for South America next week and he's promised we can travel on board the ship as members of his special party." "He can help us get into the country, too." "All we have to do now is pay someone to take us out to the boat in secret." "Well, Jose... the New World, just as you wanted." "Yes, I know." "Ask me where your husband is." "Why should I?" "He's up there in the mountains with the money." "I murdered him." "Then you realize our time has now come." "You must see I'm right." "Don't you realize there are hundreds of police out after us?" "We can't possibly reach Gaucin with all this stuff." "It's much too dangerous." "Carmen's there waiting for us, so we must take the risk." "It's a trick to rob us of everything." "Listen to me." "You shouldn't trust Carmen." "I know her too well." "We've got to go where I say." "It's after Gaucin, not so far from the sea." "We'll be much safer hiding there till the ship leaves." "All right." "Carmen's coming, too, though." "I'm going to fetch her." "You've been good to me, Jose." "I won't forget that." "Jose!" "Why are you so late?" "Is something wrong?" "Dancairo won't stay in Gaucin." "I only wanted to tell you that we'll be in the tavern at the crossroads." "You left Dancairo alone?" "Oh, you must be a fool!" "You mean you couldn't see it was only a trick to rob us of our share of the gold?" "So everything we had is completely lost." "Don't worry." "He's a good man." "I promise you." "And besides, he's too sick to run away, so come with me." "I'm not going anywhere with you!" "You think I'm crazy?" "You're not just a thief and a killer, but a complete idiot!" "Leave me alone and go to hell!" "Come here!" "I could murder you for what you said." "You make me laugh." "Really, you do." "You make me sick." "You're stupid, Jose." "Why do you get upset?" "You know I have to stay to work on Lucas." "There's no reason forjealousy." "We want to get onto that ship, don't we?" "And he's the only one who can help us." "I love you, Jose." "Or I wouldn't have worked so hard to help us get away and begin all over again." "Now everything's ready, you know that?" "You don't know me yet, so be careful." "Everything's prepared for the day after tomorrow at San Nicola." "No wonder that I'm nervous." "This is what you have to do." "Ask at the crossroads for a fisherman called Pedro." "He'll take you to the beach where I'll be waiting." "The ship sails at sunset." "Oh, look what you've done to your hand!" "How silly you are, Jose." "I'll put this handkerchief on it." "Pedro:" "I tell you, if we wait any longer, we'll never make it." "The ship's already well out to sea and she'll be off the big headland within a few more minutes." "Dancairo:" "Don't worry." "We're just coming." "Pedro:" "Then hurry up." "Don't you realize there'll be trouble for us if we're caught here with you?" "Carmen won't come and you might have known it." "Even the fisherman only expected the two of us." "Try to face the facts, Jose." "Why deceive yourself any longer?" "Why ruin your life for the sake of a dirty prostitute?" "It's a form of madness." "You're coming with me if I have to drag you away by force!" "You keep away from me now." "Board the damn boat alone." "You've dreamed of that money all your life, haven't you?" "Well, take it." "It's yours." "Go away." "You know that Carmen's now living with Lucas." "Even the fisherman'll tell you." "This is our last chance." "We're finished if we stay here." "I won't give up my hopes of a decent life now." "We're rich, Jose." "We can start all over again and learn to be respectable." "Quickly!" "We gotta go." "If you're coming, come on." "You'd better let me follow my own road or I'll damn you to the end of the world." "Thank you, Lucas." "Bravo, Lucas!" "Bravo!" "B ravo!" "B ravo!" "Marvelous!" "B ravo!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Leave me alone!" "Let go!" " You're coming with me." " Lucas!" "Lucas!" "How many times must I tell you it's not safe for us here?" "I thought you were already on the boat, so I told the police you'd come this way just so they'd leave me alone." "Tell me why you deceived me." "I never meant to go away with you." "I want to be free and I always will." "You may lead me to my death, but I won't live with you!" "You stayed because of Lucas." "You're in love with Lucas." "You poor fool." "I loved Lucas for a day or two, no more than I did all the other men." "But now I'm in love with nobody, nobody at all." "You knew you weren't coming, so why didn't you say so from the start?" "Because I'm tired of you, because I was afraid of you, because I wanted you to leave me in peace!" "If you want to kill me for this, go on." "It's fate, but it won't change me." "I don't want to kill you." "We can forget the past and begin again." "I don't need to forget about anything!" "It's not my fault you became what you are." "Leave me alone!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "I don't want you!" "You loved me once, didn't you?" "Tell me you loved me once." "That you didn't lie at the beginning." "Tell me before it's too late." "That you believed for one moment that we could save each other." "What can I do to make you understand?" "Your New World never meant anything to me." "I've never been in love with you, Jose." "And now I'm sick of you!" "I'm sick of you, do you hear?" "And I hate you!" "I mean it, I hate you!" "No!" "No!" "Carmen." "Carmen." "Carmen."
