Wretched Figaro!
- Good-for-nothing! Curse him!
- There he is, always shouting
He's made a hospital
of the whole family...
...with opium, blood-letting...
...and hellebore!
- Have you seen the barber?
- Why?
- l wish to know
- He upsets you too?
And why not?
l'll tell you. Yes, l've seen him,
talked to him, he pleases me
Burst with rage,
you hateful old man
Just look at the little charmer!
The more l love her,
the more she despises me
Certainly it is the barber
who has made her malicious
What could he have told her?
Let's find out
Hey, Berta, Ambrogio
What's the use!
They're half-dead. Get out!
May the devil take you!
Barber from hell!
Some day l'll make you pay
Don Basilio,
you've arrived just in time
l wish, by force or by love,
to marry my Rosina by tomorrow
You understand me?
You are right
l have come to warn you, but...
...it's a secret!
Count Almaviva has arrived
- Who? Rosina's unknown lover?
- Precisely
Oh, the devil!
We must remedy this!
Certainly, but discreetly
What do you mean?
We must begin the affair
by inventing some story...
...that will put him
in a bad light publicly...
...that will make him appear
an infamous man...
...a lost soul
Within four days, believe me,
Basilio gives you his word...
out of town
You believe so?
Certainly! lt is my own system,
and it does not fail
And you'll do it? But...
Slander?
Don't you know
what slander is like?
No, l don't
No? Then be still and listen to me
Slander is a little breeze
lt is a very gentle zephyr
lmperceptibly, subtly,
lightly, sweetly...
...it begins to whisper
Softly, softly, at ground level...
...hissing in an undertone...
...it goes spreading,
it goes buzzing
lt penetrates insidiously
the ears of people
lt bewilders and inflates
the mind and the brain
Emerging from the mouth,
lt gathers force little by little,
flies from place to place
lt seems like the tempest
that in the heart of the forest...
...goes whistling, rumbling,
and freezes you with horror
Finally it breaks loose,
it spreads, it redoubles
lt produces an explosion...
...like the shot of a cannon...
...like an earthquake, a hurricane...
...a universal tumult,
that makes the air resound
And the wretch who's slandered,
trampled on, humiliated...
...under the public scourge
expires, if he's lucky
What do you say to that?
That may be true, but we are
losing time and need is pressing
No, l wish to do it my way
Let's go into my room
l want us now to draw up
the marriage contract
When she is my wife...
...l'll see to it that she's kept safe
