Carmen Page #3

-Yes, Fernanda

Silence!

Speak up, I'm waiting

Knifing people is a serious matter

It was your fault!

It always is!

I'll get you! F*** you!

Silence!

I'll get you!

And I'll get you!

You're too free-handed

Bring a rope

Sergeant

Tie her tight, Basque!

Tie her tongue too!

Lock her up. Let the judges decide

Let the nuns look after her!

A jinx on them, Carmen!

Eat ,em up, Carmen,

they're only men!

Watch our for your husband!

Why are they taking you?

Where are we going, officer?

To prison, lass

Have pity, officer!

You're young and gallant

Keep walking

The rope's too tight!

My wrists!

I'll loosen it

Look...

...let me escape and I'll give you

a charm to drive women crazy

Cut out the nonsense

You're off to prison.

Orders are orders

I'll be giving the orders soon

Really? How come?

I know you keep my carnation

next to your heart

It's bewitched

Keep walking

Go on

Oh, God in Heaven!

By all my ancestors!

What's to become of me?

Virgin Mary,

take pity on this sinner!

You're crying?

Where's your pride now?

She hasn't done anything.

Let her go!

It's not for me

So, what was the fight over?

-You

Over me?

They said, like all Basques,

you were only fit for chopping wood

Well, now...

You speak Basque?

I'm from Etxalar. You?

-From Elizondo

Gypsies brought me here

But I'm Basque

They insult me,

for not being like them

Fellow countryman, friend,...

...won't you lend me a hand?

Move it

She was lying, sir

She always lied

But she spoke and I believed her

She was stronger than me

She spoke terrible Basque,

but I took her for a compatriot

I was crazed, oblivious

I thought if a Spaniard

had spoken ill of my land,...

...I'd have slashed his face,...

...as she did to her workmate

Compatriot,...

...if I pushed you and you fell, these

two Castilian pigs would stop me

Go ahead, my friend...

...and may the Virgin help you

Quick, she's escaping!

Juanito!

Get the hounds!

For negligence

in the course of duty,...

...sergeant Jose Lizarrabengoa...

...is demoted to private and

sentenced to one month's prison

About turn!

Five years of discipline

and dedication!

Five years of irreproachable

conduct in the hope of promotion...

...to lieutenant

What had brought me to this?

An insolent cigarette girl

who duped me...

...and was probably, even now,

beguiling another somewhere

Despite myself,

se pervaded my mind

I looked through the bars...

...of my cell,...

...and of all the women

who passed, not one...

...came within an inch

of that devil's daughter

The worst was yet to come:...

...At the Colonel's annual party...

...they made me stand guard

like a common soldier

But fate had shown no
