The Loves of Carmen (1948)

Don José Lizarabengoa: Where did you get that dress?
Carmen García: That's my affair.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [He slaps her] Where'd you get that dress?
[Slaps her again, and holds her in front of him]
Don José Lizarabengoa: I'll kill you, as heaven is my witness, I'll kill you if you don't tell me!
Carmen García: Joseíto, my little soldier.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [She kisses him all over his face, as they struggle] Who is he? Who gave it to you?
Carmen García: [Continues to kiss him] Look, Joseíto. Look how Carmen loves you. Look!
Don José Lizarabengoa: I know you. I know what you are! Who is it now? Who is it now?
[He starts to choke her]
Don José Lizarabengoa: Who is it now?

Carmen García: [Jose's watch chimes] Well, not only is he beautiful, but music comes out of him.
Don José Lizarabengoa: It's just a watch. It chimes.
Carmen García: Aw, too bad. I thought for a minute you had wonderful possibilities.

Carmen García: I knew you would be a nuisance. I said it! You and your tiresome regrets. And your weeping about something that's already over and done with. Take your payo conscience and make some woman a present of it. I tell you I'm sick of it!
Don José Lizarabengoa: It'd be well if you borrowed some of my conscience because you have none of your own.
Carmen García: You wouldn't love me nearly so much if I had a conscience, Joseíto.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [Sarcastically] That's a wonderful excuse. To say, "I'm a Gypsy and I don't know right from wrong."
Carmen García: [She kisses him] I don't know, Joseíto. Tell me. What is right? What is wrong?
[She kisses him again]
Carmen García: Is that wrong, little soldier?
