The House of the Spirits Page #3

- To see your house.

- You're not allowed to be here.

Strangers aren't allowed

to walk in just like that.

I know.

Then leave.

I'll leave soon.

Come here.

- Come.

- Why?

I want to smell you.

You smell good.

It's bay rum.

My mother bathes me every morning.

What a nice dress you've got.

Sit with me so I can feel it.

My Aunt Ferula made it.

Imagine.

We have the same blood.

I don't understand you.

Your chocolate is ready.

I'd like to ask Pedro...

to stand up and tell us...

his story...

about the hens and the fox.

Once there was a henhouse,

and every night a fox

forced its way into it,

to steal eggs and

eat baby chickens.

This made the hens very angry.

People are glad for the way

you teach them.

Why can't you use your telepathic

abilities and tell me where they are?

I can't contact anyone who

doesn't want to be found.

If you hadn't started this school,

this wouldn't have happened.

He found them.

Segundo found them by the river.

Are they all right?

This is your fault!

I don't want to see your son

with Blanca again! Understood?

Understood, Patron.

I'll close the school and

send Blanca to boarding school!

No, you can't do that!

Yes, I can!

I won't watch

my daughter turn native.

It's my duty...

to provide her with a life among

people of her own class.

There's no need...

Shut up!

Don't interfere in

my family affairs.

School was over.

The only thing which made

boarding school bearable...

were the wonderful

summer vacations ahead of me.

- Congratulations on your exam.

- Such a long time.

We're very proud of you.

So, no more school.

I'm so glad you're home.

Your mother and I missed you.

Every year, Pedro and l

met secretly by the river.

Now that I'd graduated,

we could be together forever.

I missed you.

I thought I'd die at school.

I'm never going back.

From now on,

it's just you and me.

What is it?

You know,

it's not only you and me.

Yes, it is.

I don't care what

my family thinks.

I love you and you love me.

That's what's important.

They say you've started making

political speeches.

The peasants here

are suppressed by your father.

They're afraid of him.

They all hate him.

Promise me to be careful.

Nothing must ever happen to you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Welcome, Mr. Trueba!

The Conservatives want

to make you a proposition.

- I'm not a politician.

- You're a powerful man.

A man of honour.

Just the kind of senator we need.

The country is changing.

Things aren't the way they were,

unfortunately.

People are getting crazy ideas.

Peasants from your district...

and workers in the cities

talk about uniting.

If we don't make a stand now...

I'll think about it.

Do. You're a family man and

a family is worth protecting.

We must protect our values.

Who's that?

Count Jean de Satigny.

He hasn't been in this country long.

I understand he's very rich

but still a bachelor.

Maybe your daughter would enjoy

adding a coat of arms to her card.

Let me know what you decide

about the party.

Excuse me.

May I join you?

I've heard a great deal about you.

People say your hacienda is the most

beautiful property for miles.

And the most efficient, I've heard.

I hope to see it someday, to study

your methods. I admire...

You're welcome to...

Let's get out!

The earthquake!

Did you feel it here?

Did anything happen?

Everything's all right.

Clara asked me to lie beside her

till she fell asleep.

She was so terrified during

the earthquake. That's all it was.

It's over.

You've spoiled my

family life long enough.

I want you to leave

this house at once.

I never want to see you again,

and I forbid you to

see my wife,

For my daughter.

I'll send you money each month

through Father Antonio.

You'll have enough to live

decently while I live.

But if I ever catch you

bothering my family again,

I'll kill you.

I swear,

on the soul of our mother,

I'll kill you.

I curse you, Esteban.

You'll always be alone.

Your body and soul will shrink.

And you'll die afraid,

and with a guilty conscience.

Get out.

For Clara's sake,

I want you to know it's never been

the way you imagined between us.

Never!

I'd like to talk to you.

How could you do this?

How could you send her away?

No one is between us anymore.

She was never between us.

I love you.

I want to make you happy!

I want us to have a

happy family!

She's part of our family too.

She's your sister.

I don't care about Ferula.

I care about you and l.

Our love.

Show me you love me.

Show me I'm your husband.

Love me.

Love me.

Do you hear? Love me!

Help me.

Tell me what I must do...

to let us have a happy life

as husband and wife.

Just give me some time.

Just give me some time.

Just give me some time,

Transito.

You look good.

How did you find me, Patron?

I asked for the best place in town.

Now I can pay you back

the 50 pesos...

with interest.

I'd rather you owe me the favour.

Just wait a little.

Just show me...

a little tenderness.

Pretend to care for me.

That's all I need.

But I do care for you.

Very much.

Come.

Come here with me.

I feel so good with you.

It's like coming home.

You're the best, Esteban.

You're a strong man.

Very, very strong.

A man of the soil.

There's one thing I don't understand,

Monsieur Tassigny.

Satigny.

And that is...

what are you doing in our

barbaric country?

Well...

I'm in the fortunate position that

I don't have to work for a living.

Only pass the time.

But a wealthy life,

is boring.

You get restless.

My vineyards in Liechtenstein

and on the Riviera...

But...

this country...

challenges me.

Yes, but "monsieur" Tassigny...

Satigny.

It's still very strange,

because I've done it again and

I can't find you in my cards.

Neither your family, nor your age,

where you're from.

Perhaps your cards...

can't see across the Atlantic.

For me?

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

500 tons...

a year in two croppings.

With our advantage over those

north of the Equator,

we can produce ripe fruit at

the time of year they cannot.

The will of God say we all have

a right to fight for Justice.

It isn't the will of God,

we wait for a reward in Heaven.

Jesus Christ was a revolutionary.

We have a right to demand wages.

Revolutionary?

Yes, of course!

We have a right to rest on Sundays.

We have a right to vote.

To be free.

That's enough!

Go back to work.

I said, go back to work!

T tell them to go back to work.

Please,

go back to work.

Come here.

You never teach your son not

to look his patron in the face?

Take your shirt off.

Isn't...

Tassigny joining us for dinner?

Satigny.

Count Satigny.

He's out studying the corn crop.

He has a great interest

in agriculture.

And in knowing how much you own.

I had to get rid of

Pedro Segundo today.

He's never to show his

face here again.

He was trying to turn the farmers

against me. Preaching revolution!

If not for his father,

I'd have shot him.

Good God!
