Adaptation and dialogues by

A film by

Marcel Camus

Serafina, look how beautiful!

No!

Sorry

I am very sorry, but

you really scared me

Oh, child... are you shaking?

Poor thing...

I can feel your heart

beating... right here...

in your hand,

like a trapped bird

Let me give you something

that will help you forget

Here. It's not very pretty

It is very pretty, indeed.

Thank you very much

Let me help you

if you don't mind

but I won't be able to

guide you. I don't know Rio

I'll manage. I know this city

like the palm of my hand

I may even point you in the

right direction, if you wish

Let's go

Onions... onions

Would you like a steak?

Wonderful

Wonderful. Shall we

stroll around? Shall we?

The biggest necklaces,

here, the biggest necklaces

Hey, girl, let's go!

Are you done, Orpheus?

Go get your paycheck

Hey, you!

What are you doing here?

I was told to go to

the end of the line

- So? You're looking at it

- Thank you

- Are you from around here?

- No

- Where are you going?

- To my cousin's house

Well, then it's OK

Take care of this girl, Hermes.

She's looking for her cousin

He'll find your cousin

for you. He finds everything

I must go and get my paycheck

Another one for the collection.

Nice girl

- She is naive.

- Yeah, right. I know you

- Watch out, Mira is around.

- Orpheus!

- Didn't I tell you?

- Orpheus!

Sorry to break up your party.

Are you telling her fortune?

- Why not?

- No way!

With her looks, she'll only

have bad luck

You're too much of a show-off

to deserve good luck

Are you coming?

She is crazy

- Have you been to carnival?

- No, I have not

- Is that why you came?

- No

You'll end up going.

No one can resist the madness

See? There is no mistake

Just follow this path and

you'll find the place

- Thank you very much.

- My name is Hermes

If you get lost again,

please come back

I'm always here, I am

the station guard

Thanks. Some day

I'll be back

You're loaded! Hand it

over, let me see it

Did you get the directions?

Yes, thanks

- Do you know her?

- No

- Why so much fuss then?

- Because I am very kind

- Kind?!

- Isn't she cute?

- What about me? Let's go!

- Where to?

See, Hermes? He is cynical to

the point of asking "where to"

Don't you remember that

we are getting married?

- Pay attention, man!

- What eyes she has!

And I have a good

memory, you know?

I know! Poor guy!

Enough!

- Where is the fifth forum?

- 1 st floor, 2nd door, right side

Take your hat off!

Fix your tie. What a mess

Let me fix it, let me

- Give me a kiss.

- There's people coming

Come

Marriage license?

Sorry! It's for tomorrow

No, for today.

We want a license

- We want to get married, right?

- Are you sure?

- Of course! Why do you ask?

- Sorry, I was just kidding

I said that because everybody

comes here to get married

It is quite funny

Names? What is your name?

- Orpheus.

- Orpheus

Obviously, the bride's

name must be Eurydice

My name is not Eurydice.

Why do you say that?

Because everybody knows that

Orpheus loves Eurydice

Do you love some woman

called Eurydice?

I don't know any

Eurydice! What is this?

Nothing... nothing. That's

an old story. Just kidding

That's not funny at all!

I'm not interested in

these old stories, Orpheus

My name is Mira

Let's go, Mira!

Are you happy now?

You got what you wanted

- Are you buying me a ring?

- What ring?

Now that we are engaged,

you must give me a ring

- With what money?

- You did get your paycheck!

- You won't do it? - I've got

to get my guitar out of hock

That's what interests me.

Tomorrow is carnival. A ring?

- Silly! Buy your own ring!

- No, you have to give it to me!

I told you,

I have no money!

- I can loan you some.

- All right!

But you're the one who has

to get me a ring! Come on!

- What else do you want?

- First my guitar!

Orpheus... Orpheus

You will look

beautiful as a king!

I am the king!

Leave it here on the bench...

Enough

- What is this? - These crooks

aren't interested...

- All right, all right.

- Hold it. Look, it works well!

This relic is worth much

more than 1 00 cruzeiros...

Any museum would pay alot

for this. And it plays well

I just need the 1 00 cruzeiros

I just want 1 00 cruzeiros for

carnival. It plays well

I know. Here are the 1 00

cruzeiros, and take this away!

- 1 00 cruzeiros! Great!

- Take this devil away!

No, now it belongs to you

You think that's funny, huh?

You made a good deal

- Hold this piece of junk!

- Hold on...

Hold this

Don't get mad, all right?

Isn't it a beauty?

- It is beautiful, indeed.

- Yes, but you owe me 1 1 0 bucks

- What?

- One hundred and ten!

Are you sad, birdy?

He didn't come

He will come.

Sing, bird. Sing!

- Bread! - I spent

all my money on a costume

Chico! Chico!

Oh... It's you!

- Good morning.

- Good morning. Come in

You're the last thing I expected.

I thought it was him

- Him?

- Chico Boto! You don't know him

What a man.

He travels all the time

But he promised to

be here for carnival

- Your husband?

- No, why?

We just like each other.

And I'm all his!

You should see what

a chest he has

It doesn't mean that

I'm not happy to see you!

Actually, since he's not

here, it's quite convenient

Let me guess...

You came for carnival!

- I ran away.

- Ran away?

- I'm scared, Serafina!

- You? Scared?

Of what? Of whom?

A man who come to the farm

and kept chasing after me

- Because you're beautiful,

silly! - No

- I'm sure he wants to kill me.

- Are you crazy, girl?

He just wants to get into

your pants, don't you see?

No... he wants to kill me.

I know he does

I know. Listen and answer me.

Does he know you're here?

- No.

- Then, forget about that! Come

You must be starving. All I have

is onions. Do you have money?

Never mind. I'm asking because

my costume was expensive

Forget it. The Portuguese grocer

will do anything for a kiss

You are really very beautiful!

Good trick

Good morning, Benedito.

How are you?

- Is that amulet for me?

- No, it is for her

- You don't even know her!

- Now I will. Do you want...

- Thank you, Benedito.

- You already know my name?

My name is Eurydice.

I'll keep this forever

- Even after I die?

- That's nonsense. Come on

That boy is full of strange

ideas. Let's go, come on!

Give me a kiss

- Enough! Only one.

- And you?

- A fish.

- Fish... fish... fish

Something makes me think

you came with no money

Exactly! I bring you customers

like myself- bold ones

You'll be flexible, won't you?

My pretty little fatso...

One more, please

You are terrible! Always asking

for credit, and now this!

No way! Nobody owes me money!

Here! This should hold

you for a little while

That's much better.

What about her?

It looks like she's not

used to this... poor thing!

- What about you? No kiss?

- No way! I rather pay!

That's too bad, since her man...

This woman is

much smarter than you

- Forget it! That's just talk.
