Calle Mayor: Juan Antonio Bardem 1956 Page #2

---

- Yes, yes.

Will you stay here for long?

- Me? No. I'm just passing by.

- I see.

- He's a writer.

- I see.

Victoria has put a lot of weight

since she got married.

She's satisfied.

How fine she was when

I met her as a spinster.

Who seems not to have any escape

is Isabel. She'll remain single.

She's been around for too along.

- She should vacate the street.

- She's such a pretentious girl.

Such tedious women!

- Won't you buy us a drink?

- What are you having?

- Today I'll have a Manhattan.

- A Manhattan it is, then.

I want to know if you agree.

Federico is leaving tomorrow. We

must offer him a decent farewell.

Have a few drinks here,

then dine at the restaurant.

Then to the New Caf,

and then...

And then to the

Old Quarter.

Look at that monument!

Look. That one is not from here.

She looks like an actress.

She's the best thing

on Main Street.

Getting bored?

And you?

I'm used to it.

I was feeling very lonely

at the beginning.

And now?

Now I'm fine.

The bank job is not bad.

If I hold on a little more, I may

become intervention director.

Would you stay here?

Why not?

I can get married and all.

There's a rich girl

but I must become a director.

I can see that you're popular.

We all know one another here.

This thing of strolling along

Main Street is nice.

- You can see people, girls.

- And do you take any girl out?

You mean, if I have a fiance?

No, I mean if you go out with girls.

What girls? I don't get it. Ah, you're

asking me if I sleep around.

No, not sleeping around.

If you go out...

- Oh. Well, no... You can't.

- You can't?

Sure, you can go out one day,

but if you do it again...

- What? - People will say that you

are engaged.

- Really?

- Really!

Therefore, you either

are her lover or her boyfriend.

If you're her boyfriend, it's serious.

To get married.

You can always break up, of course.

Baldie does it very well.

- And if you have a lover?

- It's difficult.

Because girls are decent...

Not that. It's just that if she's your

lover everyone gets to know it.

That's why they are very careful.

Because then if they don't catch

an outsider...

Hey, you! Come here.

I'll pay another round.

- Must we go with them?

- Sure, they're terrific guys.

You're impossible. Tonight we're

going to the Old Quarter.

- Is it pretty?

- This is not about tourism.

- Oh, I see.

- We'll go to a bombastic place.

Pepita's Caf!

Don't be stupid. He's

destroying the pianola.

No one can make

a fool of me, Pepita.

You're a sweetheart.

What a pain in the neck!

Come, boy.

Let's call your friend.

Leave me, baby.

Come here, don't go.

What's going on here? This can

make anyone go insane.
