The Things of Love (1989) Movie Script
1
To Quintero, Len, Quiroga,
Mostazo, Solano...
...and those who made
Andalusian songs famous.
LOVE'S DOING
The three of us will never
see each other again.
l'm forced to leave
this damn country.
But l'm also leaving
because...
...I don't know...
...what to do with my life
and you two.
We've been so close
all these years...
Juan, you and l knew
each other,...
...we lost the war
in the same regiment.
That afternoon,...
...the bombing
of the hospital...
...was to change our lives.
Trinidad, my Trinidad,
you who live
by the Royal Gate,
your face full
of sorrow,
like Our Lady
of Macarena,
who could compare...
Get underneath the porch!
To your right!
Underneath the porch!
To your right! Hurry!
Wait!
Are you all right?
Over there.
Will this do?
You're an artist.
So am I.
Are you?
l used to play piano.
Hush, now...
Don't cry...
It's over.
Come on, Ana...
l'd like to kiss you.
Well, do.
Let's go.
-What are you going to do?
-Go home.
Where's that?
Not far.
Juan! Let's go!
-When can l see you?
-I don't know...
the day after tomorrow,
is that all right?
All right.
Give me some bread!
Get in!
In the same place,
at the same time!
-What?
-Same place,...
...same time!
-Where can my daughter be?
-Don't worry...
-It's so late...
-She'll be all right.
Here she is.
Pepita, at last!
They were worried.
And that great coat?
Look what it's got.
Bread...
Attention!
This is a communiqu...
...from Generalissimo Franco
to the people of Madrid.
Today, the 27th of March
1939,...
...in the third triumphant
year...
...and when the National
Army...
...is about to occupy
the Spanish capital...
Did you hear?
The radio stations
are theirs.
It's all over.
If l weren't so sick,
my husband and l'd leave.
What will you do?
Go back to singing
if they let me.
And you?
Nothing,...
...wait.
...the people of Madrid
being known...
...for their great sense
of responsibility,...
...we ask them to turn in
their weapons...
...to the military
authorities.
The Republic has lost
the war.
Those who refuse to obey
our orders...
...will be severely
punished...
Salud!
A FEW DAYS LATER
Hey, you!
Come here!
Let's see if you can sing the
national anthem! Raise your arms!
Let's see if you can sing the
national anthem! All together!
"Facing the sun,
wearing my new blue shirt..."
lt doesn't look like
you know it...
Raise your arm!
You don't want to sing?
Sing!
Sing, damn it!
Goddamn red!
Here.
One day, you'll be
just like her.
Look at her!
She's incredible.
Don't listen,...
...you've got to be like
lmperio Argentina,...
-...this one's second class.
-Second class?
Forget it!
She's the greatest!
Can't you please shut up?
-Be quiet.
-You've got no idea.
It is my duty to tell you...
...that your sentence
has been commuted.
You'll be freed today.
l advise you to be careful.
There is no room...
...in the new Spain for
Reds and queers.
Sing this.
Here,...
...your tools.
Are the girls still mad
about you?
Kind of.
What about you?
Your voice is all right?
"They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
Espartero's son will
be a monk, so they say.
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
We have to get up
early tomorrow morning.
Trust me, you'll be
singing soon.
Take the bed.
l'm so tired l can't sleep.
Try.
Juan.
What?
You're the one
who loves me best.
But my way.
Yes, your way.
Hello, Pepita...
Hi, Balbina.
Go ahead, you know the way.
Here she is. Waiting
is good for the appetite.
Hi, Pepita.
You look lovely.
l'll leave you two alone.
There's champagne.
-Thank you, Leonor.
-Ring if you need me.
l won't be far,
just in case.
-Bye, lovely.
-See you!
Here,...
...isn't he generous?
Give it to her mother,...
...I can't see her
this week,...
...l'm very busy.
Did you take your share?
Yes, don't worry.
Don't look so serious,...
...it's not a crime.
Have a drink.
No, but it's a shame.
If things weren't so bad...
Don't complain.
Look,...
...above all,...
...don't lose faith.
Every Monday, l go and
ask Saint Nicholas...
...to keep...
...my business going.
Silk stockings.
Want them?
There's a condition.
What?
l put them on you.
What about the letter?
Here.
Good morning,
here's your Saint Nicholas.
"My dear friend,...
...I take the liberty
to recommend...
...Miss Pepita Morn
for your music-hall,...
...aware of the quality
you require.
Rest assured that l shall
not forget your kindness.
Yours sincerely,
Ignacio Martnez."
lf l get a job, my mother
can come here herself!
She'd like that...
l was so clever that before
a year had elapsed,
l had six satin and silk
dresses to my name.
If you were to stop
and think a little,
you'd soon guess
where the money
came from.
Silence! We're rehearsing!
Pepita!
Did they pay?
As usual.
Here.
Good news, Pepita.
The Variety Theatre needs
a duo...
...for this summer's show.
l'll introduce you
to your partner...
...tomorrow at noon.
Don't be late.
Hello.
Good morning.
l get it,...
...the piano player.
You know each other?
Let's start with...
..."Love's doing".
Your family doesn't like me,
mine can't stand you.
But you've made me lose
my head.
You don't have a cent,
and l'm completely broke.
But love's all we need.
Whatever they say,
we belong to each other,
no one can take us apart.
It's life's doing,
it's love's doing,
we didn't ask how or when,
we just know.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
You love me at nightfall,
l love you at dawn,
you drink from my lips,
l drink from yours.
The air you breathe
is also mine.
Why bother about
the why, when or how.
We will be together
no matter what.
They're still green.
-And she's so flat...
-They have no presence.
It's life's doing,
it's love's doing.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
But love cares little
about height or color.
It's love's doing.
It's love's...
...doing.
Lovely!
Hadsome! What a man!
-What's so great about them?
-Beats me.
Now, the piano player,
he isn't bad...
Not bad...
-Look at him.
-C'mon, go get changed!
Wait, they want an encore.
-Like hell they do!
-Don't push!
Maestro! "The week-end"!
On the week-end l went
to the station with my man.
There we met Mr. Ben
as black as a frying-pan.
Where you going?
To the country with Tomas.
We've got...
...pat and popcorn.
On Monday, back at
the office with the flu.
And everyone wonders
what happened.
Week-ends be damned.
Week-ends are a pain,
believe me!
Don Mateo!
Sorry to bother you,...
...but that new couple
was a success.
So what?
The public's booing
Marisol...
Hurry up!
The final number,
all together...
Curtain!
Don't leave my side,
l need your company.
The whistle has blown,
the train's on its way.
"Carabee hooree",
we'll soon be in Seville.
"Carabee hoora",
the loveliest of lands.
If you want to forget me,
there's no better place.
Seville is the prettiest
town of them all.
Drink...
...a little sherry,
you've never tasted
anything like it.
Everyone will sing
"carabee hooree, hoora".
Everyone will say,
long live Seville,
"Carabee hooree, hoora".
l have a little nest
on the tallest peak.
No one's ever seen
what it's like.
Built into the clouds
it seems,
that's how close it is
to the sky.
The day you learn
to love me,
we shall live above
the world.
You will learn what
Paradise is like
inside my little
paper house.
How happy we shall be
then,
how sweet our kisses
will be.
We'll spend the night
in the moon
inside my little
paper house.
How happy we shall be
then...
May I, sir?
You may.
We'll spend the night
in the moon
inside my little
paper house.
The public likes us.
And l like you.
Don't kid me.
l mean it.
l like being close to you.
Others do too.
Behave!
-This place is respectable.
-That's a laugh!
Lewdness and queers
aren't allowed here!
Kiss my ass!
-l'll kill you, bastard!
-Like hell!
Don't bother,
we'll call the cops.
Not the cops.
Pay up and we'll go.
l gotta take a leak.
Your turn.
l don't want to.
Mario wins, then.
Shall we call it a night?
Come on, tonight is our night.
Our night is over,
it's day time already.
l'm not going to bed,
l want another drink.
Be careful,
we have two shows tomorrow.
Where to?
You decide.
An anisette.
You got a place?
l know a boarding-house.
Where?
In Huertas Street.
Listen, I...
Pepa and l were
very successful.
People liked us,...
...and we liked each ather.
You felt a little left out
of our success,...
...but we were friends.
You were always fighting,...
...unable to forget
Pepa's past.
l led my life...
Who knows if you'll get
along better now!
Morning!
Put it here, l'll set the table.
l better hurry.
Move over...
Move over.
Silly!
lt's life's doing,
it's love's doing,
we didn't ask how or when,
we just know.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
It's love's doing.
My darling, my love...
My star...
Star of my days.
My hat!
Delicious!
Mon made it.
You just said...
Not what?
You threw out my Mom's food!
There go your drinks!
Pig!
l'm gonna belt...
Balbina, he doesn't love me!
What do you mean?
Don't listen to her,
of course l love her.
Why don't you two
just get married!
We have five days before
we go on tour,...
...we could get married.
Not if we have to live...
...with your mother!
Quit drinking then!
All right, l will.
Don't look at the girls.
l won't.
Love only me.
All right.
You're a brute,...
...a brute and an animal.
Hurry, we'll be late.
Extra!
World War II is over!
Dora's and Mario's songs!
My boyfriend the barber
was stolen by my neighbor.
Ten kids they had,
all with huge heads.
The godfather exclaimed:
"How dreadful!"
Who heads this family
with such fat heads?
l didn't marry...
...my barber.
That marriage would
have been...
...a headache!
"Why don't you marry?"
people ask me.
Because l missed the bus.
But l did it on purpose.
A husband, a mother-in-law,
a brother-in-law,
a babe in arms,
another on the way,...
cook and clean,
your Mom said,
my Mom said...
Too many complications!
Single l am
and will remain.
Just like us, baby!
Because l'm decent!
l see them every Sunday
in the caf.
Their faces are long,
they're bored to death.
The kids crush plates
with athletic ease.
They stick spoons
up their parents'noses.
l didn't marry my barber,
but no one sticks spoons
up my nose!
"Why don't you marry?"
people ask me.
Because l missed the bus.
But l did it in purpose.
A husband, a mother-in-law,
a babe in arms,
another on the way,...
cook and clean,
your Mom said,
my Mom said...
Too many complications!
Single...
...I am and will remain.
Single,...
...what a relief!
No kids, no husband,
no problems.
Single...
Can any wise man please
tell me
what "ol"truly means?
Ol! We shout on hearing
the Spanish castanets.
When a boy's heart is heavy
with love,
he sings.
Let him say ol twice
and the girl
will be his.
Her almond-shaped eyes
will soon beg for more.
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't try to understand,
but don't forget to tell me:
Ol, ol and ol!
Mr. Lamplighter,
you who light the night,
for pity's sake say ol
as l pass by,
for pity's sake.
Ol, ol and ol!
Down in the arena,
the bullfighter makes
lovely passes.
My eyes whisper "l love you"
but my lips say ol!
lf, on a a bright
moonlight night,
you suddenly hear
a sad melody come in
through your window...
Half asleep, l shall hear
ol, ol and ol again!
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't try to understand,
but don't forget to tell me:
Ol, ol and ol!
Mr. Lamplighter,
you who light the night,
for pity's sake say ol
as l pass by,
for pity's sake.
Ol, ol and ol again!
Ol!
Pepita, Pepita!
Very dear public,...
...seldom have we been
as moved as tonight...
...during our artistic
career.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you,
you're wonderful.
And now, the famous
journalist Roberto Conde...
...will speak to you.
Ladies...
...and gentlemen,...
...dear public,
tonight,...
...not only this theatre,
but Madrid,...
...the whole country,...
...wears its best smile
to applaud and love...
...this couple formed by
Dora and Mario...
...who represent
the genuine youth...
...of a glorious,...
...peaceful and bright...
...Spain!
They are a true...
...paragon of virtue
of the arts,...
...an inspiration
to our poets...
...who cannot help
but compose...
...true masterpieces...
...for their warm...
Is he coming?
Trust me, Gonzalo.
He'll be at the party...
...tonight.
But l had to invite
the whole company.
Dora and Mario
and ol again!
Ladies and gentlemen,
hurray for Spain!
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't understand,
but tell me...
l'll call the Marquis.
Let's have a drink...
...so the artists
can rest.
Another beer?
No, thanks, milandy,...
...l've been peeing
all night as it is.
Doa Carmen!
She's so funny...
How are the courts?
Very busy, we're overworked.
Imagine,...
...thanks to Dora
and Mario,...
...the aristocracy likes
folky songs.
Excuse me.
Mom, come here.
You certainly know
how to sing.
Come here,
look at the blond,...
...she sings...
And that must be
the famous Mario, right?
-Now, don't start.
-This is my second drink.
Why did you drag me
to see thede assholes?
Don't you dare get drunk
here!
Marisol, this is
Mr. Campoverde,...
...a very important man.
Marisol Rentera.
-My pleasure, miss.
-And mine too.
A blackout again!
Just like at home.
It's the same everywhere.
You know
the Generalissimo,...
...tell him we need light.
As he was saying to me
yesterday,...
..."You know, Campoverde,
not even I..."
He told me: "Campoverde,...
...not even l can fight
against the drought."
lf he can't who can?
What know-how...
You belong to
the brotherhood, Marquis?
Me?
Since l was child.
Your daughter sure
is lucky!
You mean Juan?
You can have him any time.
l don't have a chance!
-I don't like them.
-Too bad!
Marisol,...
...I am absolutely
overcome by...
...your ears.
Really?
Close to his little car,
he asked me last night
if l wouldn't like
to take a little ride.
But l answered him,
with a little smile,
not in your little car
for l'll get dizzy.
Not in your little car,
for l'll get dizzy.
-Bravo, Colman!
-That's it!
l'm dizzy!
Not so fast, Marquis.
Call me Gonzalo.
Excuse me.
What did he say?
He asked me if l knew
how to play golf.
Tell him yes,...
...but watch where he lands
his balls.
They could make them bigger.
C'mon, Pepa, show them
what you can do.
Don't move.
This isn't a funeral!
Let her be.
A funny one!
l've got something inside
that's got me worried.
In a few months,
it should be plain.
Not too long ago,
under a full moon,
a man with moustache
taught me a funny trick.
First he looked at me,
then he kissed me,
fondled me,
pinched me,
petted me...
-And then...
-Then what?
-Then he...
-What?
-He did...
-He did what?
Bang bang bang bang!
You're leaving?
How can you allow
such songs...
...in your house?
lf your father were alive...
It's that degenerate's
fault.
You know what artists
are like...
l dislike them, Gonzalo,...
...especially him.
You may be sorry one day
to have...
...such friends.
l'm not criticizing,
but that's not singing.
That's it,...
-...we're finished.
-can't l even dance?
Not like a whore!
Let's go, Nena.
Sorry, sweety.
Let's go.
l'm glad
you've broken up,...
...you were wasting
your time.
Mom, please...
l can't even speak.
Look, Servando Ramirez,
the movie producer.
That's right,
check your make-up,...
...he's worth it.
Dear me!
Forgive her, it's her leg,
she's a little clumsy.
l can't always control it.
l'm so sorry.
-l'll go get an aspirin.
-No harm done,...
...don't worry.
Would you like to join us?
lt will be my pleasure,
but you must be my guests.
Dora's charm and know-how,
coupled...
...with Mario's talent,...
...have reached the public.
No one is as popular
this season.
Congratulations.
Your daughter has talent,...
...she'll go far.
It's in the family.
l used to be an artist too.
We've retired.
They're so loud!
Everyone hears them...
Shut up.
But it's true,
they're vulgar.
l'd love you to see me sing, Servando.
l'll go, l promise, l will.
Mario should be here...
-Where are you going?
-To look for him.
"Braggarts,
that's what they are.
Down the street they go,
breaking maiden's hearts.
The miller's daughter
must dance
to forget her heavy heart...
And if dancing doesn't help,
let it break, let it break."
Miss Dora?
She hasn't arrived.
Take me
to her dressing-room.
l can't do that, sir.
Can you now?
l'll get in trouble but,
well...
Thank you.
Dora's key, please.
l don't have it,
a gentleman came...
It's Juan!
Don Servando!
You here!
What a surprise.
How silly of me,
l forgot my combs.
In the hotel?
l'll get them.
Well, l must get dressed.
How long have you got?
Half an hour.
Can you help me?
-Afternoon.
-Good afternoon, genius.
-Has she arrived?
-Yes. We're sold out.
That's good.
Go get him, they start
in ten minutes.
Run!
Run she says,...
...as if l could run.
It's the first call!
l'm Nena Colman,
my key, please.
Number 13.
Number 13. Nice number
for an opening night!
Good afternoon...
Don Servendo, how are you?
-You decided to stay here?
-That's right,...
...I wanted to see you all.
Tomasa, hurry up!
Don't call me that!
This way, Don Servando.
Your constant fighting was
very trying.
You didn't understand Pepa,
you didn't understand us.
You always did things
your way and I, mine.
Trouble was on its way,...
...big trouble.
Mario, please?
He's in his dressing-room,
sir.
Number two.
-Yes, what is it?
-Mario Ruiz?
Mario, it's for you.
Not again...
l inherited from my parents,
besides the sun
and the moon,
a polka dot dress
that's followed me
around the world,
a donkey and a couple
of tambourines.
A big dislike for working,
talent, saucy eyes
and charm
to put up with this life.
That's not much,
l agree.
But my happiness
is my singing.
l'm a Gypsy,
the laws of this world
aren't ours.
Imagine those eyes
on screen!
And that skin
in technicolor...
The blood of kings
runs in my veins.
l'm from the Gypsy race.
Hi, Mario.
Leave it on.
Come and see me.
When?
Tomorrow morning
in my hotel,...
...room 614.
l envy nobody's luck,
for l'm like the peacock
who dies full of pride
and proudly leaves
this world.
Pepa's going to drop you.
The movie mogul is sitting
with her mother.
Better be careful.
l'm from the Gypsy race.
The laws of this world
aren't ours.
My parents were Gypsies,
the blood of kings
runs through my veins.
The blood of kings
runs through my veins,
l'm from the Gypsy race.
We're closed.
Look who's here...
Where's the toilet?
Why don't you join us
inside for a drink?
No, thanks.
We haven't got
any business inside,...
...have we, Juan?
l'm off.
What about me?
All right,
let's see what's up.
Can we...?
We're drinking to
the future...
We're just in time.
To the future...
...movie star.
He wants me to do
three movies.
Isn't it great?
The first one...
...is "The Duchess
and the Painter".
The painter must be Goya,
of course.
Does the duchess sing?
Good old folk songs,
l suppose.
That's enough.
Well, let's have
another drink.
You'll be my downfall,
Don Servando.
You'll be your daughter's.
Me? l sacrificed
my career...
...for her.
You quit the brothel.
You called my Mom a whore!
-No, just a bawd.
-A whore!
He's called me a whore!
Don't exaggerate,
he was joking.
Mario, l also would like
to sing you up.
Lay off!
Good bye.
How about a drink?
Drink it yourself.
Relax...
Goddamn it,
what an ass l am!
What's going on?
Why am l in love
with that bitch?
-What are you talking about?
-I never said l loved you.
Juan, wait!
-They're degenerates!
-Let me be, Mom!
Pepa, hurry!
Don't try to hold me back!
Who do you take me for?
Where are you going?
Forgive me.
Tell him to forgive me.
Listen to her, Juan.
To her lies?
lt's not her.
Her mother got her into
the movie thing.
-Weren't you leaving?
-l'll go with you two.
How about taking a ride?
Yes, sir, a good idea.
Let's take a ride.
If they leave us alone,
we're just fine.
A lovely night...
There was a storm,...
...but it's gone.
Is there anywhere to have
a drink?
The Paradise.
Paradise...
l like the sound of it.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
l arrived last night
at two a.m.
You went out to celebrate
your success...
Am l in the way?
You didn't expect me.
No. l had a date
with a stagehand.
Always the joker...
While I...
You've only been away
two days...
...and already...
...I had to see you.
l brought you a gift.
Thanks, Marquis.
Shall we have a drink?
This afternoon.
l haven't slept.
You have something
on your mind.
Campoverde told me
yesterday...
...that some political
prisoners mentioned you.
They arrested me once and
let me go without charges.
Don't you start.
l'm exhausted.
That can be fixed.
Stick it here.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
l'm quick at making bubbles,
strawberry flavored bubbles,
while l chew away.
l'm modern and daring,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Very good, Nena.
Everybody out,
we're got work.
"l swear."
l never realized
you were his
until the very day
that l lost you.
Not until it was too late
did l discover
how much l loved you.
My road is full
of bitterness and gall.
l'm your prisoner,
but you despise me.
Thow a handful of sand
in my eyes,
kill me with sorrow
but love me.
You're branded inside
my heart,
on my mother's head
l swear you are.
There's no one in the world
but you,
and if that's a lie,
let me walk in darkness.
Ask me to,
and l'll count the grains
of sand.
Ask me to,
and l'll kill for you.
May God punish me
if l'm lying.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
You're not the one
l used to know.
You no longer love me only.
You have a different man
each day,
while l die of jealousy
for you.
No one's to blame but me,
l can accuse no one but me,
l who laughed while you...
...love me.
It's my turn to shed tears
while you laugh.
You're branded inside
my heart,
on my mother's head
l swear you are.
There's no one in the world
but you,
and if that's a lie,
let me walk in darkness.
Ask me to,
and l'll count the grains
of sand.
Ask me to,
and l'll kill for you.
May God
punish me if l'm lying.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
Well, see you later.
All right.
You don't give up.
Never,...
...if l think someone's
worth it.
But l'm not.
l won't change, Marquis,...
...go away.
One moment.
l want to tell you
how sorry l am...
...that my son admires you.
Mom, please.
That's it?
l was told you were insolent
and l agree.
Go to hell.
You're...!
Gonzalo!
He'll remember this.
Last show.
THE IDOLS OF SPANISH SONG
Well, this is it.
We'll be together
next season.
Nena!
Let's go!
l'm coming.
l'm leaving, thanks
for the autograph.
Thank you.
This is on the house.
Best of luck.
l felt sorry for her.
Well,...
...so do I.
She'll get the habit...
-Don't be a sourpuss.
-I don't want any!
Bye!
-Wait here.
-Where are you going?
Don't get mad.
You always do what you want.
-Let me go!
-No, you don't. You're mine.
Let go!
You two make sick.
l never want
to see you again.
May l help you?
-Sit down, please.
-No, thank you.
Come in, please.
Imagine, that poor
son of mine!
l've never felt
so terrible.
l couldn't tell you over
the phone.
That Mario!
Such a low, vulgar...
...and coarse man!
He took advantage
of my son.
Gonzalo is wonderful
but a little weak.
Thank God l was there,
it was humiliating.
You must do something.
Thank you for coming,
my dear, and don't worry.
There is no need to tell me
anything about...
...that Mario.
l know all about his ideas
and his habits.
We have...
...studied the matter
extra-officially,...
...of course. You'll soon
see results.
You see, l've got a kitten,
that comes,
and goes.
You see, l've got a pussy,
its hair is soft,
its tail is long.
If you caress the mouser,
it will stretch and purr
with pleasure.
My pussy loves to cuddle,
here it comes,
naughty kitty.
So soft,
so soft,
my kitten's hair is so soft.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
how it purrs and cuddles.
So soft, so soft,
my kitten's hair is so soft.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
how it purrs and cuddles.
Pussy cat!
lt's okay by me.
Fine.
Someone help me.
Well?
She has an hour to change.
Come on.
An hour, no more.
Wasn't this the last take?
Pepita,...
-...we must shoot...
-Don't "Pepita"me!
Someone help me get down!
You're a bunch of liars!
But we must shoot
the foreign version...
This is too much!
Let's go!
You're crazy.
Crazy? Sorry, you mean.
Sorry to be famous,
wealthy,...
...to have people dying
of envy?
lf l'm not free,
what's the good of it all?
l don't want to be your age
and with no man at my side.
Which dress?
Shut up!
lf it weren't for Pepa,
l'd leave right now.
Don't be rude.
It's your fault if
Mario's angry with me.
l work my ass off...
...so you can live
like a queen!
l'm going to Mario's
opening.
You mean you want...
...to see Juan.
Lay off!
l'm going to do what
l want!
-What now?
-Now nothing,...
...to work!
Spain's idol.
l owe you nothing,
l ask you nothing.
It's time l left,
forget about me.
l've paid with gold
for your brown flesh.
Don't curse me,
we're quits.
l don't love you,
don't love me.
You gave me all,
l asked for nothing.
Don't tell me
you lost it all.
At your side,
l too lost all.
Well paid,
you've been well paid.
l bought your kisses,
you gave...
...yourself to me
for a handful of money.
Well paid,
well paid,
you were...
...well paid, woman.
l won't lie,
l love another.
But don't think
l deceived,
she isn't mine,
she gave me a kiss,
the only kiss
l never paid for.
l ask nothing,
l want nothing.
Between these four walls
l bury
the joys and sorrows
you gave me and l gave you
and the jewels you'll now wear
for another.
Well paid!
You've been well paid.
l bought your kisses,
you gave yourself to me
for a handful of money.
Well paid,
well paid,
you were...
...well paid,...
...woman.
Come on.
You've never sung better.
Hurry up, damn it,
l must change!
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
Espartero's son will
be a monk, so they say.
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
They say he'll be a monk
but others tell him,
others tell him to be
a bullfighter like his Dad.
Seville's bullring
is in mourning
the flag flies
at half-mast,
black lace everywhere.
Miura bulls have nothing
to fear,
nothing to fear
have the Miura bulls,
Miura bulls have nothing
to fear
for Espartero is dead,
Espartero is dead,
and he was the best...
-You've been great!
-Congratultions.
l'm going to change.
-Stay here!
-What's going on?
-What do you want?
-An autograph.
You won't have time later...
l don't have time now,
wait outside.
Are you insane?
Faggot! Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
Let me by!
Where are they taking you?
Where are you taking him?
Where?
Are you a cop or what?
Pepita, for God's sake!
Fascists be damned!
Come along...
l'm Dora Moral, let me in.
We've called
the Ministry,...
...he isn't in any
of the stations,...
...there's no warrant
out for his arrest.
But l must know where he is!
Don't shout!
Forgive us.
Come on, let's go.
Perhaps you should look
for him at a boyfriend's...
Walk!
Who wants to be the first
to kick this faggot?
l will.
This is just a warning.
Get out of Spain.
And don't come back.
Bye, Antoito.
Good bye.
-Let me help you.
-Don't.
-Let me go see you off.
-No, l already told you.
-Sleeper number four.
-Here we go, sir.
Don't look at me like that.
l can't come back,...
...they won't let me.
Good luck.
Hurry.
Go with him.
To Quintero, Len, Quiroga,
Mostazo, Solano...
...and those who made
Andalusian songs famous.
LOVE'S DOING
The three of us will never
see each other again.
l'm forced to leave
this damn country.
But l'm also leaving
because...
...I don't know...
...what to do with my life
and you two.
We've been so close
all these years...
Juan, you and l knew
each other,...
...we lost the war
in the same regiment.
That afternoon,...
...the bombing
of the hospital...
...was to change our lives.
Trinidad, my Trinidad,
you who live
by the Royal Gate,
your face full
of sorrow,
like Our Lady
of Macarena,
who could compare...
Get underneath the porch!
To your right!
Underneath the porch!
To your right! Hurry!
Wait!
Are you all right?
Over there.
Will this do?
You're an artist.
So am I.
Are you?
l used to play piano.
Hush, now...
Don't cry...
It's over.
Come on, Ana...
l'd like to kiss you.
Well, do.
Let's go.
-What are you going to do?
-Go home.
Where's that?
Not far.
Juan! Let's go!
-When can l see you?
-I don't know...
the day after tomorrow,
is that all right?
All right.
Give me some bread!
Get in!
In the same place,
at the same time!
-What?
-Same place,...
...same time!
-Where can my daughter be?
-Don't worry...
-It's so late...
-She'll be all right.
Here she is.
Pepita, at last!
They were worried.
And that great coat?
Look what it's got.
Bread...
Attention!
This is a communiqu...
...from Generalissimo Franco
to the people of Madrid.
Today, the 27th of March
1939,...
...in the third triumphant
year...
...and when the National
Army...
...is about to occupy
the Spanish capital...
Did you hear?
The radio stations
are theirs.
It's all over.
If l weren't so sick,
my husband and l'd leave.
What will you do?
Go back to singing
if they let me.
And you?
Nothing,...
...wait.
...the people of Madrid
being known...
...for their great sense
of responsibility,...
...we ask them to turn in
their weapons...
...to the military
authorities.
The Republic has lost
the war.
Those who refuse to obey
our orders...
...will be severely
punished...
Salud!
A FEW DAYS LATER
Hey, you!
Come here!
Let's see if you can sing the
national anthem! Raise your arms!
Let's see if you can sing the
national anthem! All together!
"Facing the sun,
wearing my new blue shirt..."
lt doesn't look like
you know it...
Raise your arm!
You don't want to sing?
Sing!
Sing, damn it!
Goddamn red!
Here.
One day, you'll be
just like her.
Look at her!
She's incredible.
Don't listen,...
...you've got to be like
lmperio Argentina,...
-...this one's second class.
-Second class?
Forget it!
She's the greatest!
Can't you please shut up?
-Be quiet.
-You've got no idea.
It is my duty to tell you...
...that your sentence
has been commuted.
You'll be freed today.
l advise you to be careful.
There is no room...
...in the new Spain for
Reds and queers.
Sing this.
Here,...
...your tools.
Are the girls still mad
about you?
Kind of.
What about you?
Your voice is all right?
"They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
Espartero's son will
be a monk, so they say.
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
We have to get up
early tomorrow morning.
Trust me, you'll be
singing soon.
Take the bed.
l'm so tired l can't sleep.
Try.
Juan.
What?
You're the one
who loves me best.
But my way.
Yes, your way.
Hello, Pepita...
Hi, Balbina.
Go ahead, you know the way.
Here she is. Waiting
is good for the appetite.
Hi, Pepita.
You look lovely.
l'll leave you two alone.
There's champagne.
-Thank you, Leonor.
-Ring if you need me.
l won't be far,
just in case.
-Bye, lovely.
-See you!
Here,...
...isn't he generous?
Give it to her mother,...
...I can't see her
this week,...
...l'm very busy.
Did you take your share?
Yes, don't worry.
Don't look so serious,...
...it's not a crime.
Have a drink.
No, but it's a shame.
If things weren't so bad...
Don't complain.
Look,...
...above all,...
...don't lose faith.
Every Monday, l go and
ask Saint Nicholas...
...to keep...
...my business going.
Silk stockings.
Want them?
There's a condition.
What?
l put them on you.
What about the letter?
Here.
Good morning,
here's your Saint Nicholas.
"My dear friend,...
...I take the liberty
to recommend...
...Miss Pepita Morn
for your music-hall,...
...aware of the quality
you require.
Rest assured that l shall
not forget your kindness.
Yours sincerely,
Ignacio Martnez."
lf l get a job, my mother
can come here herself!
She'd like that...
l was so clever that before
a year had elapsed,
l had six satin and silk
dresses to my name.
If you were to stop
and think a little,
you'd soon guess
where the money
came from.
Silence! We're rehearsing!
Pepita!
Did they pay?
As usual.
Here.
Good news, Pepita.
The Variety Theatre needs
a duo...
...for this summer's show.
l'll introduce you
to your partner...
...tomorrow at noon.
Don't be late.
Hello.
Good morning.
l get it,...
...the piano player.
You know each other?
Let's start with...
..."Love's doing".
Your family doesn't like me,
mine can't stand you.
But you've made me lose
my head.
You don't have a cent,
and l'm completely broke.
But love's all we need.
Whatever they say,
we belong to each other,
no one can take us apart.
It's life's doing,
it's love's doing,
we didn't ask how or when,
we just know.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
You love me at nightfall,
l love you at dawn,
you drink from my lips,
l drink from yours.
The air you breathe
is also mine.
Why bother about
the why, when or how.
We will be together
no matter what.
They're still green.
-And she's so flat...
-They have no presence.
It's life's doing,
it's love's doing.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
But love cares little
about height or color.
It's love's doing.
It's love's...
...doing.
Lovely!
Hadsome! What a man!
-What's so great about them?
-Beats me.
Now, the piano player,
he isn't bad...
Not bad...
-Look at him.
-C'mon, go get changed!
Wait, they want an encore.
-Like hell they do!
-Don't push!
Maestro! "The week-end"!
On the week-end l went
to the station with my man.
There we met Mr. Ben
as black as a frying-pan.
Where you going?
To the country with Tomas.
We've got...
...pat and popcorn.
On Monday, back at
the office with the flu.
And everyone wonders
what happened.
Week-ends be damned.
Week-ends are a pain,
believe me!
Don Mateo!
Sorry to bother you,...
...but that new couple
was a success.
So what?
The public's booing
Marisol...
Hurry up!
The final number,
all together...
Curtain!
Don't leave my side,
l need your company.
The whistle has blown,
the train's on its way.
"Carabee hooree",
we'll soon be in Seville.
"Carabee hoora",
the loveliest of lands.
If you want to forget me,
there's no better place.
Seville is the prettiest
town of them all.
Drink...
...a little sherry,
you've never tasted
anything like it.
Everyone will sing
"carabee hooree, hoora".
Everyone will say,
long live Seville,
"Carabee hooree, hoora".
l have a little nest
on the tallest peak.
No one's ever seen
what it's like.
Built into the clouds
it seems,
that's how close it is
to the sky.
The day you learn
to love me,
we shall live above
the world.
You will learn what
Paradise is like
inside my little
paper house.
How happy we shall be
then,
how sweet our kisses
will be.
We'll spend the night
in the moon
inside my little
paper house.
How happy we shall be
then...
May I, sir?
You may.
We'll spend the night
in the moon
inside my little
paper house.
The public likes us.
And l like you.
Don't kid me.
l mean it.
l like being close to you.
Others do too.
Behave!
-This place is respectable.
-That's a laugh!
Lewdness and queers
aren't allowed here!
Kiss my ass!
-l'll kill you, bastard!
-Like hell!
Don't bother,
we'll call the cops.
Not the cops.
Pay up and we'll go.
l gotta take a leak.
Your turn.
l don't want to.
Mario wins, then.
Shall we call it a night?
Come on, tonight is our night.
Our night is over,
it's day time already.
l'm not going to bed,
l want another drink.
Be careful,
we have two shows tomorrow.
Where to?
You decide.
An anisette.
You got a place?
l know a boarding-house.
Where?
In Huertas Street.
Listen, I...
Pepa and l were
very successful.
People liked us,...
...and we liked each ather.
You felt a little left out
of our success,...
...but we were friends.
You were always fighting,...
...unable to forget
Pepa's past.
l led my life...
Who knows if you'll get
along better now!
Morning!
Put it here, l'll set the table.
l better hurry.
Move over...
Move over.
Silly!
lt's life's doing,
it's love's doing,
we didn't ask how or when,
we just know.
You're tall, l'm short.
You're blond, l'm dark.
You're from Seville,
l'm from Puerto Real.
We have nothing in common.
But love cares little
about height or color.
It's love's doing.
My darling, my love...
My star...
Star of my days.
My hat!
Delicious!
Mon made it.
You just said...
Not what?
You threw out my Mom's food!
There go your drinks!
Pig!
l'm gonna belt...
Balbina, he doesn't love me!
What do you mean?
Don't listen to her,
of course l love her.
Why don't you two
just get married!
We have five days before
we go on tour,...
...we could get married.
Not if we have to live...
...with your mother!
Quit drinking then!
All right, l will.
Don't look at the girls.
l won't.
Love only me.
All right.
You're a brute,...
...a brute and an animal.
Hurry, we'll be late.
Extra!
World War II is over!
Dora's and Mario's songs!
My boyfriend the barber
was stolen by my neighbor.
Ten kids they had,
all with huge heads.
The godfather exclaimed:
"How dreadful!"
Who heads this family
with such fat heads?
l didn't marry...
...my barber.
That marriage would
have been...
...a headache!
"Why don't you marry?"
people ask me.
Because l missed the bus.
But l did it on purpose.
A husband, a mother-in-law,
a brother-in-law,
a babe in arms,
another on the way,...
cook and clean,
your Mom said,
my Mom said...
Too many complications!
Single l am
and will remain.
Just like us, baby!
Because l'm decent!
l see them every Sunday
in the caf.
Their faces are long,
they're bored to death.
The kids crush plates
with athletic ease.
They stick spoons
up their parents'noses.
l didn't marry my barber,
but no one sticks spoons
up my nose!
"Why don't you marry?"
people ask me.
Because l missed the bus.
But l did it in purpose.
A husband, a mother-in-law,
a babe in arms,
another on the way,...
cook and clean,
your Mom said,
my Mom said...
Too many complications!
Single...
...I am and will remain.
Single,...
...what a relief!
No kids, no husband,
no problems.
Single...
Can any wise man please
tell me
what "ol"truly means?
Ol! We shout on hearing
the Spanish castanets.
When a boy's heart is heavy
with love,
he sings.
Let him say ol twice
and the girl
will be his.
Her almond-shaped eyes
will soon beg for more.
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't try to understand,
but don't forget to tell me:
Ol, ol and ol!
Mr. Lamplighter,
you who light the night,
for pity's sake say ol
as l pass by,
for pity's sake.
Ol, ol and ol!
Down in the arena,
the bullfighter makes
lovely passes.
My eyes whisper "l love you"
but my lips say ol!
lf, on a a bright
moonlight night,
you suddenly hear
a sad melody come in
through your window...
Half asleep, l shall hear
ol, ol and ol again!
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't try to understand,
but don't forget to tell me:
Ol, ol and ol!
Mr. Lamplighter,
you who light the night,
for pity's sake say ol
as l pass by,
for pity's sake.
Ol, ol and ol again!
Ol!
Pepita, Pepita!
Very dear public,...
...seldom have we been
as moved as tonight...
...during our artistic
career.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you,
you're wonderful.
And now, the famous
journalist Roberto Conde...
...will speak to you.
Ladies...
...and gentlemen,...
...dear public,
tonight,...
...not only this theatre,
but Madrid,...
...the whole country,...
...wears its best smile
to applaud and love...
...this couple formed by
Dora and Mario...
...who represent
the genuine youth...
...of a glorious,...
...peaceful and bright...
...Spain!
They are a true...
...paragon of virtue
of the arts,...
...an inspiration
to our poets...
...who cannot help
but compose...
...true masterpieces...
...for their warm...
Is he coming?
Trust me, Gonzalo.
He'll be at the party...
...tonight.
But l had to invite
the whole company.
Dora and Mario
and ol again!
Ladies and gentlemen,
hurray for Spain!
Ol is one of those words
that can't be explained.
Ol is like a rose
bursting out of your heart.
Ol, what a little word,
l won't understand,
but tell me...
l'll call the Marquis.
Let's have a drink...
...so the artists
can rest.
Another beer?
No, thanks, milandy,...
...l've been peeing
all night as it is.
Doa Carmen!
She's so funny...
How are the courts?
Very busy, we're overworked.
Imagine,...
...thanks to Dora
and Mario,...
...the aristocracy likes
folky songs.
Excuse me.
Mom, come here.
You certainly know
how to sing.
Come here,
look at the blond,...
...she sings...
And that must be
the famous Mario, right?
-Now, don't start.
-This is my second drink.
Why did you drag me
to see thede assholes?
Don't you dare get drunk
here!
Marisol, this is
Mr. Campoverde,...
...a very important man.
Marisol Rentera.
-My pleasure, miss.
-And mine too.
A blackout again!
Just like at home.
It's the same everywhere.
You know
the Generalissimo,...
...tell him we need light.
As he was saying to me
yesterday,...
..."You know, Campoverde,
not even I..."
He told me: "Campoverde,...
...not even l can fight
against the drought."
lf he can't who can?
What know-how...
You belong to
the brotherhood, Marquis?
Me?
Since l was child.
Your daughter sure
is lucky!
You mean Juan?
You can have him any time.
l don't have a chance!
-I don't like them.
-Too bad!
Marisol,...
...I am absolutely
overcome by...
...your ears.
Really?
Close to his little car,
he asked me last night
if l wouldn't like
to take a little ride.
But l answered him,
with a little smile,
not in your little car
for l'll get dizzy.
Not in your little car,
for l'll get dizzy.
-Bravo, Colman!
-That's it!
l'm dizzy!
Not so fast, Marquis.
Call me Gonzalo.
Excuse me.
What did he say?
He asked me if l knew
how to play golf.
Tell him yes,...
...but watch where he lands
his balls.
They could make them bigger.
C'mon, Pepa, show them
what you can do.
Don't move.
This isn't a funeral!
Let her be.
A funny one!
l've got something inside
that's got me worried.
In a few months,
it should be plain.
Not too long ago,
under a full moon,
a man with moustache
taught me a funny trick.
First he looked at me,
then he kissed me,
fondled me,
pinched me,
petted me...
-And then...
-Then what?
-Then he...
-What?
-He did...
-He did what?
Bang bang bang bang!
You're leaving?
How can you allow
such songs...
...in your house?
lf your father were alive...
It's that degenerate's
fault.
You know what artists
are like...
l dislike them, Gonzalo,...
...especially him.
You may be sorry one day
to have...
...such friends.
l'm not criticizing,
but that's not singing.
That's it,...
-...we're finished.
-can't l even dance?
Not like a whore!
Let's go, Nena.
Sorry, sweety.
Let's go.
l'm glad
you've broken up,...
...you were wasting
your time.
Mom, please...
l can't even speak.
Look, Servando Ramirez,
the movie producer.
That's right,
check your make-up,...
...he's worth it.
Dear me!
Forgive her, it's her leg,
she's a little clumsy.
l can't always control it.
l'm so sorry.
-l'll go get an aspirin.
-No harm done,...
...don't worry.
Would you like to join us?
lt will be my pleasure,
but you must be my guests.
Dora's charm and know-how,
coupled...
...with Mario's talent,...
...have reached the public.
No one is as popular
this season.
Congratulations.
Your daughter has talent,...
...she'll go far.
It's in the family.
l used to be an artist too.
We've retired.
They're so loud!
Everyone hears them...
Shut up.
But it's true,
they're vulgar.
l'd love you to see me sing, Servando.
l'll go, l promise, l will.
Mario should be here...
-Where are you going?
-To look for him.
"Braggarts,
that's what they are.
Down the street they go,
breaking maiden's hearts.
The miller's daughter
must dance
to forget her heavy heart...
And if dancing doesn't help,
let it break, let it break."
Miss Dora?
She hasn't arrived.
Take me
to her dressing-room.
l can't do that, sir.
Can you now?
l'll get in trouble but,
well...
Thank you.
Dora's key, please.
l don't have it,
a gentleman came...
It's Juan!
Don Servando!
You here!
What a surprise.
How silly of me,
l forgot my combs.
In the hotel?
l'll get them.
Well, l must get dressed.
How long have you got?
Half an hour.
Can you help me?
-Afternoon.
-Good afternoon, genius.
-Has she arrived?
-Yes. We're sold out.
That's good.
Go get him, they start
in ten minutes.
Run!
Run she says,...
...as if l could run.
It's the first call!
l'm Nena Colman,
my key, please.
Number 13.
Number 13. Nice number
for an opening night!
Good afternoon...
Don Servendo, how are you?
-You decided to stay here?
-That's right,...
...I wanted to see you all.
Tomasa, hurry up!
Don't call me that!
This way, Don Servando.
Your constant fighting was
very trying.
You didn't understand Pepa,
you didn't understand us.
You always did things
your way and I, mine.
Trouble was on its way,...
...big trouble.
Mario, please?
He's in his dressing-room,
sir.
Number two.
-Yes, what is it?
-Mario Ruiz?
Mario, it's for you.
Not again...
l inherited from my parents,
besides the sun
and the moon,
a polka dot dress
that's followed me
around the world,
a donkey and a couple
of tambourines.
A big dislike for working,
talent, saucy eyes
and charm
to put up with this life.
That's not much,
l agree.
But my happiness
is my singing.
l'm a Gypsy,
the laws of this world
aren't ours.
Imagine those eyes
on screen!
And that skin
in technicolor...
The blood of kings
runs in my veins.
l'm from the Gypsy race.
Hi, Mario.
Leave it on.
Come and see me.
When?
Tomorrow morning
in my hotel,...
...room 614.
l envy nobody's luck,
for l'm like the peacock
who dies full of pride
and proudly leaves
this world.
Pepa's going to drop you.
The movie mogul is sitting
with her mother.
Better be careful.
l'm from the Gypsy race.
The laws of this world
aren't ours.
My parents were Gypsies,
the blood of kings
runs through my veins.
The blood of kings
runs through my veins,
l'm from the Gypsy race.
We're closed.
Look who's here...
Where's the toilet?
Why don't you join us
inside for a drink?
No, thanks.
We haven't got
any business inside,...
...have we, Juan?
l'm off.
What about me?
All right,
let's see what's up.
Can we...?
We're drinking to
the future...
We're just in time.
To the future...
...movie star.
He wants me to do
three movies.
Isn't it great?
The first one...
...is "The Duchess
and the Painter".
The painter must be Goya,
of course.
Does the duchess sing?
Good old folk songs,
l suppose.
That's enough.
Well, let's have
another drink.
You'll be my downfall,
Don Servando.
You'll be your daughter's.
Me? l sacrificed
my career...
...for her.
You quit the brothel.
You called my Mom a whore!
-No, just a bawd.
-A whore!
He's called me a whore!
Don't exaggerate,
he was joking.
Mario, l also would like
to sing you up.
Lay off!
Good bye.
How about a drink?
Drink it yourself.
Relax...
Goddamn it,
what an ass l am!
What's going on?
Why am l in love
with that bitch?
-What are you talking about?
-I never said l loved you.
Juan, wait!
-They're degenerates!
-Let me be, Mom!
Pepa, hurry!
Don't try to hold me back!
Who do you take me for?
Where are you going?
Forgive me.
Tell him to forgive me.
Listen to her, Juan.
To her lies?
lt's not her.
Her mother got her into
the movie thing.
-Weren't you leaving?
-l'll go with you two.
How about taking a ride?
Yes, sir, a good idea.
Let's take a ride.
If they leave us alone,
we're just fine.
A lovely night...
There was a storm,...
...but it's gone.
Is there anywhere to have
a drink?
The Paradise.
Paradise...
l like the sound of it.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
l arrived last night
at two a.m.
You went out to celebrate
your success...
Am l in the way?
You didn't expect me.
No. l had a date
with a stagehand.
Always the joker...
While I...
You've only been away
two days...
...and already...
...I had to see you.
l brought you a gift.
Thanks, Marquis.
Shall we have a drink?
This afternoon.
l haven't slept.
You have something
on your mind.
Campoverde told me
yesterday...
...that some political
prisoners mentioned you.
They arrested me once and
let me go without charges.
Don't you start.
l'm exhausted.
That can be fixed.
Stick it here.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
l'm quick at making bubbles,
strawberry flavored bubbles,
while l chew away.
l'm modern and daring,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Chewing-gum, chewing-gum,
l'm the bubble girl.
Very good, Nena.
Everybody out,
we're got work.
"l swear."
l never realized
you were his
until the very day
that l lost you.
Not until it was too late
did l discover
how much l loved you.
My road is full
of bitterness and gall.
l'm your prisoner,
but you despise me.
Thow a handful of sand
in my eyes,
kill me with sorrow
but love me.
You're branded inside
my heart,
on my mother's head
l swear you are.
There's no one in the world
but you,
and if that's a lie,
let me walk in darkness.
Ask me to,
and l'll count the grains
of sand.
Ask me to,
and l'll kill for you.
May God punish me
if l'm lying.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
You're not the one
l used to know.
You no longer love me only.
You have a different man
each day,
while l die of jealousy
for you.
No one's to blame but me,
l can accuse no one but me,
l who laughed while you...
...love me.
It's my turn to shed tears
while you laugh.
You're branded inside
my heart,
on my mother's head
l swear you are.
There's no one in the world
but you,
and if that's a lie,
let me walk in darkness.
Ask me to,
and l'll count the grains
of sand.
Ask me to,
and l'll kill for you.
May God
punish me if l'm lying.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
With a hand
on the Bible,
l swear l would.
Well, see you later.
All right.
You don't give up.
Never,...
...if l think someone's
worth it.
But l'm not.
l won't change, Marquis,...
...go away.
One moment.
l want to tell you
how sorry l am...
...that my son admires you.
Mom, please.
That's it?
l was told you were insolent
and l agree.
Go to hell.
You're...!
Gonzalo!
He'll remember this.
Last show.
THE IDOLS OF SPANISH SONG
Well, this is it.
We'll be together
next season.
Nena!
Let's go!
l'm coming.
l'm leaving, thanks
for the autograph.
Thank you.
This is on the house.
Best of luck.
l felt sorry for her.
Well,...
...so do I.
She'll get the habit...
-Don't be a sourpuss.
-I don't want any!
Bye!
-Wait here.
-Where are you going?
Don't get mad.
You always do what you want.
-Let me go!
-No, you don't. You're mine.
Let go!
You two make sick.
l never want
to see you again.
May l help you?
-Sit down, please.
-No, thank you.
Come in, please.
Imagine, that poor
son of mine!
l've never felt
so terrible.
l couldn't tell you over
the phone.
That Mario!
Such a low, vulgar...
...and coarse man!
He took advantage
of my son.
Gonzalo is wonderful
but a little weak.
Thank God l was there,
it was humiliating.
You must do something.
Thank you for coming,
my dear, and don't worry.
There is no need to tell me
anything about...
...that Mario.
l know all about his ideas
and his habits.
We have...
...studied the matter
extra-officially,...
...of course. You'll soon
see results.
You see, l've got a kitten,
that comes,
and goes.
You see, l've got a pussy,
its hair is soft,
its tail is long.
If you caress the mouser,
it will stretch and purr
with pleasure.
My pussy loves to cuddle,
here it comes,
naughty kitty.
So soft,
so soft,
my kitten's hair is so soft.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
how it purrs and cuddles.
So soft, so soft,
my kitten's hair is so soft.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
how it purrs and cuddles.
Pussy cat!
lt's okay by me.
Fine.
Someone help me.
Well?
She has an hour to change.
Come on.
An hour, no more.
Wasn't this the last take?
Pepita,...
-...we must shoot...
-Don't "Pepita"me!
Someone help me get down!
You're a bunch of liars!
But we must shoot
the foreign version...
This is too much!
Let's go!
You're crazy.
Crazy? Sorry, you mean.
Sorry to be famous,
wealthy,...
...to have people dying
of envy?
lf l'm not free,
what's the good of it all?
l don't want to be your age
and with no man at my side.
Which dress?
Shut up!
lf it weren't for Pepa,
l'd leave right now.
Don't be rude.
It's your fault if
Mario's angry with me.
l work my ass off...
...so you can live
like a queen!
l'm going to Mario's
opening.
You mean you want...
...to see Juan.
Lay off!
l'm going to do what
l want!
-What now?
-Now nothing,...
...to work!
Spain's idol.
l owe you nothing,
l ask you nothing.
It's time l left,
forget about me.
l've paid with gold
for your brown flesh.
Don't curse me,
we're quits.
l don't love you,
don't love me.
You gave me all,
l asked for nothing.
Don't tell me
you lost it all.
At your side,
l too lost all.
Well paid,
you've been well paid.
l bought your kisses,
you gave...
...yourself to me
for a handful of money.
Well paid,
well paid,
you were...
...well paid, woman.
l won't lie,
l love another.
But don't think
l deceived,
she isn't mine,
she gave me a kiss,
the only kiss
l never paid for.
l ask nothing,
l want nothing.
Between these four walls
l bury
the joys and sorrows
you gave me and l gave you
and the jewels you'll now wear
for another.
Well paid!
You've been well paid.
l bought your kisses,
you gave yourself to me
for a handful of money.
Well paid,
well paid,
you were...
...well paid,...
...woman.
Come on.
You've never sung better.
Hurry up, damn it,
l must change!
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
Espartero's son will
be a monk, so they say.
They say Espartero's son
will be a monk.
They say he'll be a monk
but others tell him,
others tell him to be
a bullfighter like his Dad.
Seville's bullring
is in mourning
the flag flies
at half-mast,
black lace everywhere.
Miura bulls have nothing
to fear,
nothing to fear
have the Miura bulls,
Miura bulls have nothing
to fear
for Espartero is dead,
Espartero is dead,
and he was the best...
-You've been great!
-Congratultions.
l'm going to change.
-Stay here!
-What's going on?
-What do you want?
-An autograph.
You won't have time later...
l don't have time now,
wait outside.
Are you insane?
Faggot! Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
Let me by!
Where are they taking you?
Where are you taking him?
Where?
Are you a cop or what?
Pepita, for God's sake!
Fascists be damned!
Come along...
l'm Dora Moral, let me in.
We've called
the Ministry,...
...he isn't in any
of the stations,...
...there's no warrant
out for his arrest.
But l must know where he is!
Don't shout!
Forgive us.
Come on, let's go.
Perhaps you should look
for him at a boyfriend's...
Walk!
Who wants to be the first
to kick this faggot?
l will.
This is just a warning.
Get out of Spain.
And don't come back.
Bye, Antoito.
Good bye.
-Let me help you.
-Don't.
-Let me go see you off.
-No, l already told you.
-Sleeper number four.
-Here we go, sir.
Don't look at me like that.
l can't come back,...
...they won't let me.
Good luck.
Hurry.
Go with him.
