For Whom the Bell Tolls Page #18

And you can love me?

I can love you more.

I could see your headlight from afar.

You want to bring down a shelling?

Where is the lieutenant colonel?

- He's asleep. Who is the bandit?

He bears a dispatch for General Golz

who commands the attack.

You're crazy. I know no General Golz,

nor no attack.

Get back to your battalion.

- Call the lieutenant colonel.

Away!

Call him!

All you barbers are emotional.

Orderly!

Call the lieutenant colonel. Don't

forget, I'm your superior officer.

I'm not afraid of your threats. Cynics

like you would be eliminated...

"First" is the word you want.

- As long as they liquidate you.

"Liquidated" is a word foreign

to Spain. - Shot, then!

That's Spanish, can you understand it?

- Yes, but don't talk so loud!

Your emotions bore me.

Hello, Gmez.

- Colonel.

What brings you?

Why didn't this get here sooner?

- Stupidity.

I'm not sure

you can get through now.

Write them a very strong safe-conduct.

You'll need something strong tonight.

We're careful before an offensive.

You know

what I've been thinking about?

What I should do

to take care of you well.

I'll learn from Pilar

and other things you can tell me.

What about me taking care of myself?

- But you don't.

You should have hung out your

sleeping robe in the sun this morning.

Before the dew comes,

it should have been taken in. - Go on.

Your socks should be washed.

I would see that you have two pairs.

What else?

This. I would learn how to fire it.

That's easy. I'll teach you.

- Then if you're wounded,

I could kill you and then myself.

Do you have many ideas like that?

No, not many.

But it's a good one in this war.

Pilar gave me this one

and showed me how to use it.

I always keep it with me.

- Razor blade?

She says there's no pain

if you press quickly and firmly.

And they can't stop it if it's done.

Not if you cut the artery.

How long have you had it?

Ever since I was rescued.

But I'd rather have you shoot me.

Promise me if there's ever any need

that you will shoot me.

Sure. I promise.

Thank you very much.

I know it's not easy to do.

But there are other things

I can do for you.

Besides shoot me?

- Yes. I can roll cigarettes

when your box is empty.

- Without spilling tobacco? - Yes.

And if you're wounded, I'll take care

of you, wash you and feed you.

Maybe I won't be wounded.

- If you're sick,

I'll make soup and read to you.

- Maybe I won't get sick.

Then I'll bring you coffee.

- Maybe I don't like coffee.

This morning you had two cups.

- Suppose I get tired of coffee,

I'm not wounded or sick, I give up

smoking, have only one pair of socks,

and roll up my robe myself.

What then?

Then I'll cut your hair with Pilar's
