Black Orpheus Page #2

- Everybody knows that

If he's really getting married,

poor thing!

It's time now.

They are arriving

Take anything you want!

Is everybody crazy?

You're not going to see him?

Who?

She doesn't know him yet.

When she does, she'll run

even faster than the others.

Are you taking that?

No way, that's green!

Green, green- of course!

Did you want a red chayote?

This can't be! Poor baby!

You're getting hitched?

She's really serious

Do you want me to get rid of

your little fiance? May I?

- How did you do it?

- He insisted

I'm so happy!

- You're suffocating me! - I'm

happy for you! Give me a hug

- What's going on?

- Oh, it's you! Nothing

Sorry. I must tune

the guitar for the rehearsal

- Orpheus! Orpheus!

- Later... later!

- He doesn't want it.

- Didn't I tell you?

- You're an idiot!

- My costume is cool

So beautiful

- Where is Orpheus?

- He left already?

Yes, he said we should meet

at the rehearsal

He could at least have told me

You know, he is so shaken,

poor thing

Let me see your ring again

- What a beauty! Is it real?

- Almost

It looks great, doesn't it?

Orpheus, will you dance with me?

Yes. Soon, at the rehearsal

How is everybody?

How are you, Caruso?

You two... always cuddling, huh?

- Would you ask him?

- No, you ask him

I would like to

ask you something

Is it true that you make the

sun rise by playing guitar?

- Of course I do!

- Didn't I tell you?

Could you make the

sun rise tomorrow?

Sure! Even better, since

tomorrow is carnival!

What do you play to

do that?

- I make it up.

- And you? Could you?

I could make up a melody!

I'd love to make the sun rise

Give him the guitar.

Just to ckeck it out

This is a very old guitar...

- "Orpheus is my master".

- Yes, that's true

There was an Orpheus before me.

And one may come after I'm gone

but I'm the one ruling now.

Do you understand that?

Don't be sad.

Don't tell anybody, OK?

I will play a new song

I just wrote

Pretty, isn't it?

Morning, such a pretty morning

A new song is born

Singing of your eyes,

your laughter, your hands

There will be a day

when you come

From the strings of my guitar

That only your love sought

A voice comes

And talks about kisses

Kisses lost in your lips

Sing, my heart,

happiness is back

In the dawn of this love

- What are you doing here?

- I have the right to...

Zeca, take the guitar!

You didn't see me!

- Isn't he here?

- Who?

Was that you playing?

Orpheus taught me

Where is he?

He just left with a woman

What?

Since you have the guitar,

play something

He'll hear me

That's even better. Play

You again? What are

you doing here?

Why didn't you tell me that

Serafina is your cousin?

So, we are close.

What's your name?

Don't you remember?

I'm Eurydice

Wonderful! I like you already!

Of course! Orpheus likes

Eurydice, as the story goes

Are you Orpheus?

- Yes, I am. From head to toe.

- But I... I don't like you

Yes, you do! Try to remember.

This is really an old story

Thousands of years ago, Orpheus

was sad and melancholic

like the bird

trapped in this cage

One day, from the strings of a

guitar, sought by only one love,

a voice spoke of lost kisses

from the lips of Eurydice

And Eurydice's lips were

trembling with anxiety...

and the perfumed flower of

her mouth opened slightly

No! You are too

young to remember

Yes... I remember

the words you sang...

- because they are the same!

- Exactly!

But it was the melody

I liked best

Forgive me, Eurydice

Look

I need to talk to him

No, leave them alone!

Orpheus, they're waiting

for you at the rehearsal!

Yes!

Well... I need to go

I know

I'll sing and dance for you!

- Are you coming?

- Yes, I am

Take good care of her!

Let's go!

See you later

Thanks

Why aren't you paying any

attention to me?

I have no time now

- Answer me!

- Go back to your place!

I'm sorry. He already

saw you. He and the sun

Look at Serafina.

She is the Queen of Night

Look how happy she is

- And who is she?

- Her?

That's Mira. She plays

the Queen of Day

- She is pretty, isn't she?

- Yes

She is Orpheus' fiance

Look, he's going to kiss her

- OK, that's enough!

- What's so funny?

- Nothing! That's enough!

- Why didn't you kiss me?

Leave me alone. Have you tried

on your costumes?

Of course! Mira's costume

is a beauty, isn't it?

It has embroidered sleeves.

Let's go see it

Come and dance, Eurydice, come

Come on!

- And who is that?

- Ask Orpheus!

- I want a costume for her, OK?

- OK, all right

When it comes to women,

nobody is better than you!

Leave me alone!

She is pretty! Hot girl

- Isn't she better than Mira?

- Much better! A real beauty!

- She has good taste.

- Drop it!

- So what? So what?

- Where is the costume?

That's all we have. A woman

like this doesn't need costumes

- Hold on, let me look next door.

- No

- That's right, you're with Mira.

- Why are you talking about her?

It's nothing... nothing

You don't waste any time,

do you?

Shall I introduce my cousin?

Be good now. Take care of her.

I want a pretty costume for her

- Oh, you!

- Seriously

You don't even know her!

Yes, I do

Look at me

Look at me!

Oh, boy!

Don't make faces! This is not

tragic. I'll take care of it

People, leave the girl alone!

I'll take care of her!

- I will help!

- It's high time!

Don't just stand there!

Move! Go!

Quickly, quickly!

I'll take care of her

- Orpheus, is Eurydice here?

- Yes. Why?

- Eurydice, someone's

looking for you! - Who?

- A man.

- Who is he?

I don't know.

He's not from around here

- Who is it?

- Don't be afraid

Tell him she's left.

She's gone

What are you waiting for?

No!

No!

Calm down. Calm down!

Calm down! There's nothing

to be afraid of!

Take care of her!

What happened?

- Eurydice! She got scared!

- Eurydice? - My cousin

- Her name is Eurydice?

- She has the right

Orpheus!

What happened, Benedito?

I tried to catch him, but

he threw me on the ground

- Where did he go?

- I don't know. That way

That's impossible!

There is a cliff there!

- The man fled that way.

- That way?

What's wrong with him?

- Take care of him.

- Orpheus! What happened?

Who is this Eurydice woman?

Are you sleeping with her?

- No! Let me go!

- Stay here!

No!

If you go...

So, you chased him away?

Eurydice!

Is that you? Serafina!

Answer me!

Eurydice!

Where are you?

Idiot! You scared me!

You're the one hiding,

and I scared you?

- Where is my cousin?

- Your cousin?

- Yes, my cousin!

- Ah, she was your cousin?

- You scared her too, right?

- Who, me?

Fine! I need to find her!

Hold it! I came from

Montevideo to see you!

She'll find her way

- Where is Eurydice?

- He saw her, but she ran off

Where to?

- Answer, man!

- Don't know! That way

He'll find her

Chico!

- Chico, my love!

- You're strangling me!

No!

No! He'll kill you!

He'll kill you!

Take care of her

I am not in a hurry

We shall meet soon

So long

You are in my arms, Eurydice

I will protect you forever...
