Adventures of Don Juan Page #3

Why do you think I've risked my life

to come here posing as the duke?

Well, why? You didn't remember me.

You'd forgotten all about me, hadn't you?

Hadn't you?

Well, call the guards.

Call your father. I deserve it.

This time you won't forget me.

This time I won't let you forget me.

Is that my heart beating so?

No, but that's your father at the door.

- Open the door!

- My lady. My lady.

That man's an imposter.

The duke is here with me.

Yes, father, I'm struggling with him,

but he's so strong.

Diana, look...

You scoundrel! You shall pay

for this with your head.

Dear lady, forgive me.

You'll come back?

I'm not sure I'll leave.

- Any suggestions, Your Grace?

- Not at the moment.

Have you any suggestions?

No back stairway? No...

Imposter!

Take your hands off my daughter!

Diana, this is the duke.

- This is your future husband.

- And who are you?

Merely a fellow countryman, sir.

Come to congratulate the bride.

- Your name?

- I'm Don Juan.

- Don Juan?

- Don Juan?

- Now, we are ruined.

- Allow me.

You're a disgrace to Spain.

And as a loyal Spaniard

I shall wipe out this disgrace.

- Oh, stop being so... So Spanish.

- Seize that man.

- Oh, let me kill him.

- No! No! No!

No! No! No!

- No! No!

- Diana.

Diana, my dear, no, no, no.

Thank heaven I arrived in time

to save you.

But how I could have forgotten anyone

as lovely as Diana...

...that's what worries me.

That worries you?

Merciful heavens. At this very moment,

they may be sharpening the axes...

...or rigging their gallows,

or perhaps both.

- And you're worried about your memory.

- Oh, my dear friend, what will be will be.

A few women I know I've forgotten.

Some I...

I don't even remember well enough

to know whether I've forgotten them or not.

But Diana? And after only four months?

I must keep a diary.

Oh, I wouldn't start one now.

It would look ridiculous

just to have one entry.

Women, thy name is trouble.

There must be something in life

more important than the pursuit of women?

Yes, there must be. But what?

If you would only listen to me.

Here they are.

Don Juan de Maraa...

...you're paroled to the custody

of the Spanish ambassador.

Come.

Leporello...

...my cape.

It was with the greatest difficulty...

...I was able to secure your release

from an English jail.

But do not imagine

this affair is concluded.

Now you seem headed

for a Spanish prison.

The Duke de Crdoba has returned to Madrid

and laid his grievances before the king.

It's not only an affront

to Spanish dignity...

...it's a serious setback to me

and my work.

I was able to achieve peace

between England and Spain.

This marriage was a step
