Carmen Page #2

I brought you these

Anything else I can do?

Thanks, I don't think...

...I'll need any more

Do you think bribes,...

...or the influence of

friends might get...

...your sentence commuted?

Arrange a Mass

for my soul's salvation

Do you know Seville,...

...that huge building by

the city wall near the river?

Help!

She's dead! She's killed her!

Back there, in the cigar room!

Help me, please! Help me!

To the guardroom and calm her down!

Take two men and see what's going on

Fate's finger had just

traced my future in fire

It's all yours, come and try it

Let us through!

Out of the way! Quiet!

Fight, fight, bastard!

Quiet! Quiet!

Give me all you've got Basque!

Tell Big Nose we prefer you

I'm bleeding to death!

Get me a priest, and a hangman

to garrotte that b*tch!

Your mother was the b*tch!

Silence!

Right, what's going on?

You must come with me

Only because I trust you

Give me my mantilla.

-Let's go

Slut!

B*tch!

You're for it now!

Shut up, all of you!

Silence!

Murderess!

Anything to say?

Carmen started it

Rubbish! It was Fernanda.

-Yes, Fernanda

Silence!

Speak up, I'm waiting

Knifing people is a serious matter

It was your fault!

It always is!

I'll get you! F*** you!

Silence!

I'll get you!

And I'll get you!

You're too free-handed

Bring a rope

Sergeant

Tie her tight, Basque!

Tie her tongue too!

Lock her up. Let the judges decide

Let the nuns look after her!

A jinx on them, Carmen!

Eat ,em up, Carmen,

they're only men!

Watch our for your husband!

Why are they taking you?

Where are we going, officer?

To prison, lass

Have pity, officer!

You're young and gallant

Keep walking

The rope's too tight!

My wrists!

I'll loosen it

Look...

...let me escape and I'll give you

a charm to drive women crazy

Cut out the nonsense

You're off to prison.

Orders are orders

I'll be giving the orders soon

Really? How come?

I know you keep my carnation

next to your heart

It's bewitched

Keep walking

Go on

Oh, God in Heaven!

By all my ancestors!

What's to become of me?

Virgin Mary,

take pity on this sinner!

You're crying?

Where's your pride now?

She hasn't done anything.

Let her go!

It's not for me

So, what was the fight over?

-You

Over me?

They said, like all Basques,

you were only fit for chopping wood

Well, now...

You speak Basque?

I'm from Etxalar. You?

-From Elizondo

Gypsies brought me here

But I'm Basque

They insult me,

for not being like them

Fellow countryman, friend,...

...won't you lend me a hand?

Move it

She was lying, sir

She always lied

But she spoke and I believed her

She was stronger than me

She spoke terrible Basque,

but I took her for a compatriot

I was crazed, oblivious

I thought if a Spaniard

had spoken ill of my land,...

...I'd have slashed his face,...

...as she did to her workmate

Compatriot,...

...if I pushed you and you fell, these

two Castilian pigs would stop me

Go ahead, my friend...

...and may the Virgin help you

Quick, she's escaping!

Juanito!

Get the hounds!

For negligence

in the course of duty,...

...sergeant Jose Lizarrabengoa...

...is demoted to private and

sentenced to one month's prison

About turn!

Five years of discipline

and dedication!

Five years of irreproachable

conduct in the hope of promotion...

...to lieutenant

What had brought me to this?

An insolent cigarette girl

who duped me...

...and was probably, even now,

beguiling another somewhere

Despite myself,

se pervaded my mind

I looked through the bars...

...of my cell,...

...and of all the women

who passed, not one...

...came within an inch

of that devil's daughter

The worst was yet to come:...

...At the Colonel's annual party...

...they made me stand guard

like a common soldier

But fate had shown no

more than part of its game

The rest was to come

that same night

Been promoted to private,

eh, rookie?

If you like fried food,...

...find Lillas Pastia's

tavern in Triana

Fall out!

Who's dancing?

-Carmen

Innkeeper, a bottle for that table

Two house wines

For one look, a world,...

...for one smile, a heaven, ...

...for one kiss of your lips, ...

...I die ofjoy

Twenty-four hours

has the day,...

...if it had twenty-seven,

then those three...

That's enough of that!

What happened?

-She's crazy

Lieutenants get her p*ssy purring

He's a private

Wait

Look at him!

He looks like a tin soldier

Ever had your heart eaten out?

What are you won'th?

A measly ten?

Better than nothing, I suppose

Let's spend it all

And you can spoil me

Hear the bells?

Ringing at night attracts witches

Don't laugh, dimwit

They say you're a witch

Only Saturdays

Who is it?

-Lodging for the night

Let's go

A snack for your girls

Put it down

Your favourite room

Return the baskets

Come, girls, don Angel's waiting

Can't get it up

even with three of us

He's a saint

What did you pray?

For you to return

to the cigarette factory

To leave the world

of Pastia's tavern

Why not pray for a windfall?

I prayed you'd be good

and take pity on me

This Virgin is Andalusian,...

...and knows I won't change

All Virgins are our Mother Mary

I prayed to the Virgin of Nievas,

our Virgin of Elizondo

I have a pact with the Devil,...

...and won't return

to the cigarette factory

But I'll be good to you

Come

Better she doesn't see this

Am I really the first?

I'll show you how to do it, rookie

You'll learn a lot tonight

Are you really a virgin?

Where are you going?

Roll call at the barracks

The barracks?

-Yes

Are you a puppet on a string?

I have to go

Well, go on, leave

Clear off!

You're such a wimp!

Here!

Go!

What can I do? I can't stay

It's my duty to go

So, go. Lick your commander's arse

Carmen

I'm a soldier

I belong to the army.

Don't you see I must go?

I can't stay

What day is today?

Yesterday was Monday

And the date?

No, quiet!

Don't say it

A bad day

Why?

Not now

I said no

Listen, Jose...

...consider yourself paid

I'd have forgotten the debt,

but I liked you

So we're quits

When will I see you again?

When you stop being a fool

So, light a candle to your Basque

Virgin, she's earned it

Carmen

After that night,

I had no other thought

I spent the day roaming,

hoping to see her

Carmen!

Excuse me

Believe me, sir,...

...every corner I turned,

I hoped to bump into Carmen

Where's Carmen?

Look for her in hell

Hail, Queen, mother of mercy,

our life, sweetness and hope, hail

To you I cry, exiled son of Eve

To you I sigh, I mourn and weep

O gentle! O loving!

O sweet Mary, hail!

Turn your merciful eyes

on this sinner and ease his exile

Make her return to me.

Make her see the light

Let goodness flood her soul

Make her love me and be loved

The Virgin heard

my prayer, in part...

...for one night, on guard

a tone of Seville's gates...

Want some extra cash?

The men with packets...

...let them past.

-No

I can't let them past.

I obey orders

You didn't that night

in Candilejo St

I don't want dirty money
