Love In The Time Of Cholera Page #4

you doing here?

Ricardo, the young lady I'm going

to marry is coming back tonight.

I'm waiting for her.

Come on.

Come on!

Ricardo the lighthouse keeper

is my only friend.

He does not understand.

I must be here

to will her home.

I delegate to you the authority

to run this household...

and turn over to you

the keys to your life.

Crowned goddess, you are

the coming of the dawn.

Like spring, you have

returned to the one newborn.

Mom, Mom, there it is, Mom!

Yes, yes. Come on, come on.

- That one, too? That one.

- No no, that one over there.

Thank you.

Coconut candy!

Sweets for your sweetie.

Coconut candy!

The Arcade of Scribes is not

a place for a crowned goddess.

No.

No, please.

Forget it.

Wh-wh-what do you mean

"forget it"?

I just...

I just realized

this... this moment

when I saw you.

What?

What did you realize?

What is between us...

is nothing more

than an illusion.

It... it clouded

my eyes.

I'm so sorry.

You... you just...

realized it?

Yes.

The moment I saw you.

Make him well.

Please.

- Dr. Juvenal Urbino?

- He's a busy man.

- This is urgent.

- No. Appointments only.

Cholera... my mistress

has cholera.

No, you can't go up there.

You need to wear a mask.

I'm Hildebranda Sanchez,

the patient's cousin.

She's upstairs.

I would like you to be present, please,

when I examine her.

Her father's with her.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for coming.

I pray to God

you can do something.

They say you know more

about cholera than a...

Under the tongue.

Vomiting?

How many times?

Once, twice?

Twice.

Diarrhea?

- Severe?

- I don't...

- What?

- I... I don't know.

I've never had it before.

Sit up, please.

It is an intestinal

infection.

What?

It's not cholera?

No.

I'll prescribe medicine.

Three days at home

and she'll be well again.

Did you hear that?

Oh.

Doctor, wait wait.

Doctor, wait! How did you learn

so much about cholera?

I, uh, studied in Paris

under Professor Proust.

All the things you've done

for the city... the clean water,

- closed sewage...

- Your daughter.

- Yes?

- She's very beautiful.

Thank you.

Senorita.

I would like to, um...

take your pulse.

Stick out

your tongue, please.

Mm-hmm.

You are like a...

a new-sprung rose.

Thank you.

Do you like music?

What is the point

of that question?

Music is important

for one's health.

No! No, don't!

Doctor!

Do not go.

I saw it all.

I saw it all.

I... I told your daughter

that she is like a rose.

True enough, but one

with too many thorns.

Up up up!

You open that window and apologize.

I have nothing to apologize for.

I closed the window to keep out the sun.

Don't backtalk back to me, okay?
