Adventures of Don Juan Page #9

Synopsis: Don Juan de Marana damages Spanish prestige in diplomatic circles with his indiscreet womanizing,although he attempts to rehabilitate his image after he meets the beautiful Queen Margaret, trapped in a loveless arranged marriage with the weak and feckless King Philip III. The Queen becomes the love of Don Juan's life, and although she is obviously attracted to him, the relationship remains appropriately platonic. Becoming caught up in court intrigue, Don Juan uncovers a plot by the King's minister, the ruthless Duke de Lorca, to become the power behind the throne. After de Lorca is exposed by Don Juan, he brazenly intimidates the cowardly king into compliance and threatens to execute the uncooperative queen. Helped by his friends, his servant Leporello, fencing master Don Serafino, and court jester Sebastian, Don Juan tries to foil the Duke's evil machinations.

Strange.

Once to have heard those words

would have brought me complete happiness.

Now they bring only pain.

You're the queen. Without you,

the king would rule badly.

The people would suffer.

Your exile would be bitter.

Bitter?

Any more bitter than being married to a man

who is estranged to me?

More bitter than having you

go out of my life forever?

Once I promised you to devote myself

to the welfare of our country.

Would you take away the one ruler

who could bring her happiness?

I asked you that when I was queen.

I am no longer.

You are. You always will be.

I shall be the only one...

...who knew that for just a little while

there was no queen.

- Just ahead lies the road to Lisbon.

- Yes.

There's a great

new university there, Leporello.

I've decided to devote myself

to some serious study.

Perhaps write my memoirs.

Well, it will be a change, anyway.

At long last, lead the peaceful calm

of an academic life.

No more romance.

No more the idle search for beauty.

No more, no more...

Your pardon, seor.

Is this the road to Barcelona?

- It is, seorita.

- Thank you so very much.

- Adios.

- Adios.

Juan.

No more romance, eh?

My dear friend, there's a little bit

of Don Juan in every man.

But since I am Don Juan,

there must be more of it in me.
