If you don't want money,...

...we can visit Candilejo St. again

No

If you won't, I know who will

I'll invite your lieutenant

to Candilejo St

He'll say yes

Bye, dimwit!

I'll laugh the day

the orders are to hang you

Carmen! Carmen!

When? What time?

Eleven o'clock and all's well!

It's eleven o'clock

Nothing to say?

-I'm in afoul mood

I've got more reason to be

I didn't like having

to haggle last night

I'm not here out of love

Here

The cash I promised,

For your troubles

Wanted p*ssy, didn't you?

Here it is

If I killed you now,...

...I'd save myself a lot of tears

I'm sure...

...but it's not time

Tears of a dragoon

Ideal for one of my potions

If you kiss me,...

...maybe I'll love you again a little

Bear me no grudge

I love you despite myself,...

...the best way to love, they say

I can't help it

You're my first and

Last thought each day

The next night I waited in vain

I should have stopped seeing

Carmen but she was right:...

...It was written

Written on my mind and my heart

Every step I took brought

me closer to the abyss

Reversed cards,

they never speak straight

Well,...

...an older man will retire you,...

...but won't marry you

He won't leave his family

The man of your life

will appear later,...

...asking you to leave him

That's it for today, girls

Hello, handsome

Gorgeous

Where's Carmen?

Who knows where that one gets to?

-You. Where is she?

Carmen is like the weather:...

...The hotter the sun,

the nearer the storm

Don't wait

Why? What do you know?

It's good advice. Don't wait. Go

Do you know who Carmen is?

Do you want to?

At 14,...

...they'd sold her cherry four times.

While her mother...

...screwed Frogs, her father

killed them for 10 ,reales,

When she's broke,...

...she comes here and lays

Why Carmen?

What do you see in the b*tch?

What do you want?

A tender young virgin?

I can provide one

A 22-year-old,

adoring and a good cook?

I can provide one

Or a bearer of healthy offspring?

I can provide one, too

And if you'd prefer...

...a real woman,...

...a woman with experience,...

...who knows what a man is,...

...and what he likes in bed...

...and out of bed...

...then...

...I...

...can provide it all,...

...and all at once, if you wish.

-Enough!

I want Carmen

I want her, for myself

For me and no one else

Just me

Why are you here?

Go

Get out, dolt!

Damn the pair of you!

Attention!

Stand to attention, I say!

I've only contempt

for you and that whore!

This means a court-martial

Obey!

-Whore!

Attention!

Whore!

Attention!

Lieutenant...

Get out

Carmen...

-Go, I said!

Go and pray to your

Virgin until I come

Let's hope she can get you

out of this mess. Quick!

Go!

Most merciful Virgin Mary,...

...who has never been

known to deny refuge...

...to those who seek

thy protection,...

...I come to thee, O Mother,

Virgin of virgins,...

...and, groaning under my weight

of sin, I stand before thee

O my Lady! I offer

my whole self to thee

This very night, I give thee...

...my eyes, ears, tongue,

heart, my whole being

Since I am yours,

Mother of goodness,...

...keep and defend me as your vessel

Amen

Through my fault, through

my own most grievous fault

Here, civilian clothes

You can't be seen in uniform

Your lieutenant's done for,...

...so it's time to change lifestyle

For starters,

to dress as a civilian

Come

You dumb rookie!

All you do is mess up.

I said I'd bring you bad luck

You'll have to act now

If you've the guts,

take to the hills and be a smuggler

Here

It's from Lillas Pastia,

for friends in Jerez who'll help

See, my outlaw friends

aren't so bad

There's a bay horse outside.

Lucky colour, they say

Every cloud has a silver lining

From sergeant to private

You killed a man and gained freedom

You no longer work for His Majesty

Now you'll sleep under the stars

Carmen,...

...do you love me?

How dim can you get?

The proof is

I never asked for a cent

When she said these things,

I felt like strangling her

However, as I journeyed

towards my new destiny,...

...I dreamed of

Carmen being mine, ...

...of a life of adventure,

my lover mounted behind me

So insane can love drive one

Dancaire, you're wanted

Afternoon.

-Afternoon

I have a letter for you

A friend of Pastia's,

he wants to join us

Welcome

He's a lousy guitarist,

but has his reasons, right?

Aristotle

Reads books and knows all

that's going on in the world

The first man to compare

a woman with a flower...

...was a poet. The second, a cretin

Says so here

Juanele

Hardly speaks, but when he does...

Go on, Juanele!

Long live the Constitution!

Long live the Constitution!

-Down with the Constitution!

Down with the Constitution!

-Long live Ferdinand VII!

Any news, sergeant?

One move and you're dead.

Throw down your arms

Get down.

-Down

Dismount.

-Take them away

You deaf, or what? Move.

-Drop them

Move it

Go on

The paper

Juanele, their swords

You only die once

and the law can only...

...condemn you to death once

Money! Bags of money!

Gents, that's the way to Rome

Hurry!

,Ferdinand VII,

by the grace of God, etc, etc,...

...it pleases me

to issue this edict...

...on the occasion of the birthday

of the Queen, my beloved spouse;...

...I hereby abolish forever,

in all my dominions,...

...execution by hanging;...

...ordering henceforth

death by simple garrotte,...

...for commoners;...

...by vile garrotte,

for dishonourable crimes,...

...regardless of class...,

I never killed anyone

I tell a lie. We killed

Napoleors soldiers like flies,...

...but ministers praised us for that

We were young

Know how many titles

old Big Nose has got?

Listen...

...King of Castile,

Leon and Aragon...

...of the Two Sicilies, Jerusalem,

Navarre, Granada,...

...the East and West Indies,...

...Archduke of Austria,

Duke of Burgundy,...

...Brabante and Milan,

Lord of Biscay...

...and Molina

What ails him?

Pining for his tart

His tart? What tart?

Carmen

Was he really your general?

My lieutenant

Beat him in a sword fight,

fair and square, face to face

He fell onto my blade

Can't blame the stick

if the toad leaps on it

One toad less

They looked up to me

For killing a man

For a few days it seemed

My dream had come true

What's that?

It was my mother's

Kill a man and you get

your freedom, rookie

Freedom and a woman

Maybe

,Chapter 28

The things that happened to Candide,

Cunegonde and Dr. Panglos

Forgive me again,

he said to the Baron

Forgive me, Father,

for running my sword through you

Say no more, said the Baron,

I confess to certain aggression...,

Tell me you're happy

I'm happy

Learn, Juanele

With two stones?

They're looking

Let them

Move, rookie, move.

Don't leave it all to me

A visitor!

Who is it?

-One-Eye

Who's One-Eye?

-Don't you know?

Your lover's husband.

He got out of prison yesterday

Well?

When two are in love

with one woman...

...and both are in the same place...
