Of what? Of whom?

A man who come to the farm

and kept chasing after me

- Because you're beautiful,

silly! - No

- I'm sure he wants to kill me.

- Are you crazy, girl?

He just wants to get into

your pants, don't you see?

No... he wants to kill me.

I know he does

I know. Listen and answer me.

Does he know you're here?

- No.

- Then, forget about that! Come

You must be starving. All I have

is onions. Do you have money?

Never mind. I'm asking because

my costume was expensive

Forget it. The Portuguese grocer

will do anything for a kiss

You are really very beautiful!

Good trick

Good morning, Benedito.

How are you?

- Is that amulet for me?

- No, it is for her

- You don't even know her!

- Now I will. Do you want...

- Thank you, Benedito.

- You already know my name?

My name is Eurydice.

I'll keep this forever

- Even after I die?

- That's nonsense. Come on

That boy is full of strange

ideas. Let's go, come on!

Give me a kiss

- Enough! Only one.

- And you?

- A fish.

- Fish... fish... fish

Something makes me think

you came with no money

Exactly! I bring you customers

like myself- bold ones

You'll be flexible, won't you?

My pretty little fatso...

One more, please

You are terrible! Always asking

for credit, and now this!

No way! Nobody owes me money!

Here! This should hold

you for a little while

That's much better.

What about her?

It looks like she's not

used to this... poor thing!

- What about you? No kiss?

- No way! I rather pay!

That's too bad, since her man...

This woman is

much smarter than you

- Forget it! That's just talk.

- 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?
