The Devil's Brother Page #3

Time will hang heavy, my sweet,

until you return.

- Where is the marquis's room?

- Right in there, sir.

At your service, milady.

Oh, don't be afraid.

I simply had to see you.

You're a naughty, naughty boy.

Are you angry?

I'm very, very angry.

Angry enough to...? To kiss me?

- Tie him up. Tie him up.

- Let me out of here. Let me go.

Let me... Let me... Let me go.

- Let me go, I say.

- Oh, no, don't...

Put his arm in place.

Who is it? What has happened?

Help me! Please help me!

- Would you get that rope on my neck...?

- Let me go. Let me go.

What is the matter? Help me!

Let me get out! Help!

Hit him with something

so he'll keep quiet.

Help get something...

- Hit him and keep him quiet.

- I don't know what's gonna happen...

What's the matter? Let me go.

Let me go. Let me go. Let me... Let me...

Let me get up now, will you?

Come on, before it's too late.

Oh, well, anyway, I saw to it that they

didn't find my husband's money.

Imagine a woman

outwitting the great Diavolo.

Oh, the bandits could've found it,

had they looked in the right place.

And that place was?

I couldn't tell you.

There's no use struggling, Mr. Diavolo.

Your bandit days are over.

Let me out of here.

Let me out of here.

- Not until we get the reward.

- What reward?

The reward for your capture,

Mr. Diavolo.

- You let me out of here.

- Let you...?

That reminds me.

I'm an overfed windbag, am I?

I tell you, I'm not Diavolo.

You don't have to disguise your voice.

We know who you are.

What are you going to do with me?

We're going to hang you

from the highest tree.

The terror of the countryside, huh?

Don't do that.

Why, if I had my way, I'd boil you in oil.

- What do you want?

- You'll pay for this.

Shut up.

Oh, did...? Come...

Get up out of there.

Come on, quickly.

- Wind that.

- That?

Wind that.

So you'd have me boiled in oil,

would you?

Now, listen.

One more trick like that,

you big puffed-up bullfrog...

...and I'll cut out your gizzard

like this:

Oh, milady, your things are so beautiful.

You have everything.

Yes, everything save one, Zerlina:

romance.

Pamela. Pamela. Where is my nightcap?

On your head, you silly little goose.

- I trust milord is enjoying his supper.

- Too well, Matteo.

I'm afraid your excellent cheese

will steal my rest.

Milord sleeps lightly?

Well, sleep seldom visits me

before the dawn.

Affairs of state

weigh heavily on my mind.

Is there anything I could do

to help you rest?

Yes, I think you can.

Have you any sleeping powders?

I have just the thing, milord,

left over from a bad attack of gout.

- I'll guarantee you slumber until morning.

- Oh, thanks, Matteo.

- What are you doing?

- I'm playing Kneesie, Earsie, Nosie.

- "Kneesie, Earsie, Nosie."

- Try it.

I don't wanna try it.

Anybody can do that.

Do that again.

Kneesie, Earsie, Nosie.

Here they are, milord. One will be plenty.

They are very strong.

- Send my servants to me.

- Yes, milord.

The marquis wishes to see you

right away.

Take this wine to Lord Rocburg

with my compliments...

...then come back here.

I beg your pardon.

With the marquis's compliments.

Kindly inform the marquis

I am very particular with whom I drink.

Why did you drink that?

Well, I was afraid I might spill it.

Come on.

Afraid of spilling it.

What are you trying to do,

break your necks?

Oh, I should have done it for you

in the first place.

- Did you see His Lordship?

- Yes, sir.

So far, so good.

Now, this is my plan.

You're to wait in the courtyard

until the house is quiet.

Then, when you hear my signal,

you're to climb up to the balcony.

- Will your signal be a whistle?

- Will my signal be a whistle?

Of course not.

Do you want to arouse the entire house?

At the proper time,

I'll sing a certain song.

Silence befriending

To aid us conspires

Prudence attending

Vengeance inspires

- You can remember it?

- Yes, sir.

- You're not gonna forget it?

- No, sir.

Do you remember it?

Sing it.

Sing it.

On yonder rock reclining, Diavolo...

Shut up.

You stupid fool.

Do you wanna get us all hung?

If I hear a single note of that song again,

I'll... I'll cut out your tongue.

Calm yourself, milord.

I'll see that he never does it again.

When you hear the signal,

you climb up the balcony.

- Yes, sir.

- Now, get out.

All right.

Should you require anything

during the night, milady...

...I will be resting

right outside your door.

That's very thoughtful, my dear.

Good night.

Good night, milady.

Wake up. Don't you know

there's work to be done?

Did you hear what he said?

When he sings that song,

we've got to climb the balcony.

Now, wake up.

What's the matter with you? Wake up.

Silence befriending

To aid us conspires

Prudence attending

Vengeance inspires

There's the signal. Come on.

Come on, come on, there's the signal.

Silence befriending

To aid us conspires

Prudence attending

Vengeance conspires

Come on.

Come on, get out of there

and help me get these...

Get that table over there.

And wake up. Now, go ahead.

Turn it around.

Turn it around.

Hand me that chair.

Hey. Hey. Wake up.

Hey, wake up.

Quiet. Quiet, you fools.

Do you want to spoil everything?

Follow me.

Oh, wait. Get off of my back.

- Come on.

- I can't come up.

Help me get out of here.

You idiots. What are you trying to do?

Help me get him up.

Take it easy, now.

Take it easy, now. There, that's it.

For a servant

There's no denying

There's a shape that's not much amiss

There's no cause

I fancy for sighing

When one boasts such a figure as this

I'm sure, I'm sure

There are some more amiss

I'm sure, I'm sure

There are some more amiss

You guard the maid closely...

...and if she wakes up

and attempts to scream...

...use this.

I'll leave the bedroom door open

while you cover Lord Rocburg.

Victory crowned

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Let each heart rejoice

Pleasure reign around

Raise the grateful voice

Raise the grateful voice

We'll come with victory crowned

Milord, milord.

- The soldiers are returning.

- The soldiers?

Still let that cry aloud resound

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Still let that cry aloud resound

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Still let that cry aloud resound

Still let that cry aloud resound

Still let that cry aloud resound

Let the cry, let the cry

Let the cry aloud resound

Dismissed.

What luck? Did you catch

that murderous rogue?

We didn't get Diavolo.

But we found his hiding place

and killed 20 of his men.

Bravo, bravo.

Thank heavens you're safe.

Come, come, my dear. This night air.

Oh, Lorenzo.

'Tis Easter day, 'tis Easter day

Let's sing and play

Hail, blessed morning

Nature adorning

'Tis Easter day, 'tis Easter day

Let's sing and play

- Let youth and maiden

- Let youth and maiden

- Let youth and maiden

- Let youth and maiden

- By sin unladen

- By sin unladen

Now deck this scene

With boughs of green

Let youth and maiden

Welcome, Francesco.

I am honored to call you my son.
