For Whom the Bell Tolls Page #2

Man, but she was ugly.

- God's truth, Roberto.

Though Gypsies usually lie.

She looked like a half-drowned kitten.

You blow trains?

- I have.

Here?

- No, in Extremadura.

In another six months it'll grow out.

Are you his woman?

- Pablo's?

You've seen Pablo!

I've seen Rafael too.

- No. No, not the Gypsy.

This is a very strange woman.

Is of no one.

But she cooks well.

Really of no one?

No one.

Nor of you, either.

No.

No. I have no time for women.

No?

Mara!

Who's that?

Pablo's woman, Pilar.

She's something barbarous!

But brave!

A hundred times braver than Pablo.

- Pablo was brave in the beginning.

He killed more people than cholera.

Yes, at the start he kill more people

than the bubonic plague.

But, Pilar,

she is something barbarous!

The Gypsy's afraid of her.

- Why not? She hates me.

Why?

- She treats me as a time waster.

She doesn't like Gypsies.

- What an injustice!

She has Gypsy blood herself.

She knows of what she speaks.

But she has a tongue.

It bites like a bull whip.

What are you saying now, you lazy son

of an unmentionable Gypsy?

Answer me, Gypsy!

I was telling this comrade

what a kind woman you are, Pilar.

Liar! - This one comes as a dynamiter.

- I know that.

Go and relieve Andrs.

He's on guard at the top.

I go, Pilar.

I'll see you, Roberto,

when we eat. - Not even in a joke!

3 times today you've eaten.

But I can eat twice more.

- Get out of here! And send me Andrs!

Hola, Ingls.

How are you and the Republic?

- Good.

Both good.

- I'm happy.

What did that Gypsy say about me?

- He said you were much woman.

And I'd say he's right.

And what did you say to the girl,

before I came out? - Nothing.

I saw how she was from seeing you.

- I only joked with her. - Jokes?

Listen to me, Ingls.

She's young, not hardened as we are.

And she's had a bad time.

You understand?

Yes, I guess so.

- I'm worried about her.

When do you leave here?

- In three days. If I'm still alive.

What made you say that?

That never brings luck.

Let me see your hand.

Well?

- Nothing.

I saw nothing. What do you come for?

Blow another train?

No, a bridge.

- All the better.

Now we have horses.

Let's blow all the bridges and go!

I'm sick of this place. We are rotting

here because there's no fighting.

Only watching Pablo get drunk.

This life is ruining him.

What did you see in my hand?

- I saw nothing.

Yes, you did.

I'm only curious. I don't believe

in it. - In what do you believe?

In my work.

- I saw that. - What else?

Nothing else.

The bridge is very difficult?

- No. It is important.

But it can be very difficult?

- Yes.

I'm going to look it over again.

How many men have you got here?
