For Whom the Bell Tolls Page #13

Synopsis: Spain in the 1930s is the place to be for a man of action like Robert Jordan. There is a civil war going on and Jordan who has joined up on the side that appeals most to idealists of that era -- like Ernest Hemingway and his friends -- has been given a high-risk assignment up in the mountains. He awaits the right time to blow up a bridge in a cave. Pilar, who is in charge there, has an ability to foretell the future. And so that night she encourages Maria, a young girl ravaged by enemy soldiers, to join Jordan who has decided to spend the night under the stars.

Yes, I've come back to help you.

I cannot desert Pilar and my people.

Wait, man!

What trick is this, drunkard?

- No trick, Pilar.

I've changed my mind, that's all.

You're right about the bridge

and I'm with you now.

You'll need me for the retreat.

- Just what I said.

You were listening!

You're afraid of being killed.

That's why you've changed.

Do you think I like to hear

how we killed those men?

If I could bring them back to life,

I'd do it. - Liar!

No, I mean it. I wish

I could bring them back to life,

even Don Ricardo who cursed me.

- Stop it!

Yes, I would restore them all to life.

That's God's truth.

And it's also true

that I'm with you now.

I was drunk.

Now I'm not drunk

and I've changed my mind.

Either trust me or not, but no one

can get you to the Gredos as I can.

I believe you.

But take an oath.

Are you with us and for the bridge?

- Yes, man.

You think it can be successful despite

the snow? - There will be no snow.

You have confidence?

Why not?

Fools! Lunatics!

You're all crazy if you believe him!

What, Roberto?

- A trooper.

What does it mean?

- I don't know.

See anything?

- No.

Are you sure it was a trooper?

- Yes.

Where's Pablo?

- In the cave.

Man, what a horse!

- Never mind, get in the saddle.

This horse must make tracks out again.

- You have much sense, Ingls.

I'll ride him in the hills

until the snow's melted.

Keep your eyes open.

There's bound to be more cavalry.

Get the machine gun and my binoculars.

We've got to cover the pass.

Both of you give him a hand.

Go back to that soldier

and see if you can find more clips.

And leave his pockets alone!

Roberto! Roberto, I'm coming with you!

Go back. Tell Pilar to pack.

We may have to run for it. - No.

Go back, Mara. There may be a fight.

- I'll help you. - No!

Let me help you.

- Go back!

Let me go with you. I want to help.

- Then go back!

Kiss me.

You're shameless.

- Yes.

What's happened to that Gypsy?

- I saw him coming down.

Then he saw a rabbit

and went after it.

Fine time to go hunting. Primitivo,

climb up that rock as high as you can.

If you see soldiers,

throw a stone for a signal. Wait.

If you see one soldier, raise

your rifle like this. - Like this?

If more than one, pump it like this.

One for each soldier. Understand?

Yes.

Anselmo, go to Agustn and hold

the gun's legs, if I have to shoot.

Here, hold this for me. - For what?

- I'm liable to shoot me a Gypsy.

Look! Now we'll have fresh meat.

See?

Does something annoy Roberto?

If you weren't a Gypsy, I'd shoot you!

- But why?

Look at how fat they are!

Get down!

Rifles!

- Now the soldiers are hunting.

Wait here.

Is it Pablo?

- El Sordo.
