All language subtitles for Romeo.y.Julieta.1943.BluRay-LM

PRIVATE

Silence!

Silence!

One at a time, please,
so that I can understand.

My dear Sheriff.

It's all very easy. I...

Shut up, you.

Don't say anything else,
you're the reason
for this whole thing.

Also, you better
respect authority,

or where is it going
to end? Right?

Right, but I'm the authority.

So please refrain
from hitting him, sir.

Hitting him?
All I did was this!

No, sir.
It was harder than that.

No, sir. You're mistaken.

Your Excellency,
I think that's enough of
a demonstration.

Everything is her fault!

Don't let him get away!

My dear!
Let her go! Order!

Order! Silence!

Don't get worked up now,
we're going to get
to the bottom of this!

You're going to pay for this,

you two-faced bat,

going around
derailing my plans.

Are you going to
be quiet or not?

You're going to get it now!

- Honey, please...
- Not you!

Silence! Order!

Hey, you don't touch my wife!

I don't hit her
and you just did.

You don't hit her because
you're not man enough to.

Be quiet!
I'm going to hear everything.

One person speaks.

I'll see if I can make out
just which asylum
you've escaped from.

If you'll allow me,
Your Grace.

I can explain everything.

Go ahead. Explain yourself.

I had just died.

- How's that?
- I was dead.

Dead? What is the meaning
of this nonsense?

If you'll allow me,
I'll explain what happened.

Yes, I can trust you more.

Go ahead, Father.

Father? Oh, no,
I'm not a father.
I don't have a family.

You're not?

But what about those clothes?

Who are you, then?

That's what
I'm trying to explain.
This is how it all started.

This man, standing
right here, was dead,

and my friend here
had just died
of poisoning,

when this lady you see here

pierced her chest
with a dagger,

and fell, lifeless,
onto the corpse of her lover.

No, sir.
That's not how it went.

What happened is that when...

Enough!

Do you think I'm crazy?

I don't think so.

You don't, right?

So you're the crazy ones!

I'm going to order
the bailiff to lock
you all up in an asylum!

I'll explain, Sheriff.

What do you have to explain?

I can clear everything up.

You're going to
clear everything up?

Order, order! Attention!

Mind your own business!

Oh, my God!

What's going on?

It's strange to me
that you think, well,

if you're the Sheriff
and justice, right,

we must be honest,
but also respectful.

You are in charge here, right?

I believe so.

So then, why...

Here, let me say this.
Right now,

we're dealing
with circumstances

that are quite muddled,
and what we have to do
is speak clearly.

That is what I've been
trying to say
for the past hour!

Go ahead, speak.

And if anyone interrupts,
I'll have them shot.

You heard him.
If anyone interrupts,
they'll be ordered shot.

I'm waiting.

For?

- For you.
- Oh, yes.

I think the best
thing to do is

to tell you the story
from the beginning,

because that way,
you'd be able to, you know...

You can really
judge what happened.

I'm just saying,
so that you know

there's no funny
business going on.

What do you think, sir?

I think that would be best.

Finally, I found one
who's not confusing the issue.

I'm listening.

You know,

there are many things,
Sheriff,

that can be very
embarrassing for some,

for the kind of people
you are speaking with.

Because, you see,
the issue of certain...

Let's call them
formalities for now...

It's strange to me,
Sheriff, because you are

a fair and
understanding person,

that you know how to
psychoanalyze people.

So I ask you
to remember, Sheriff,

that, in reality,
things are...

Well, one can mislead,

but that
doesn't mean one stops
being human,

and forewarned is forearmed.

So you, as a man of justice,
a worldly man,

a viable man,

it's very strange to me,

and, of course,
one loses control.

But what I want you to know,

Sheriff, is whom
you're speaking with.

I am a righteous, decent man,
from a good family.

- I am a taxi driver.
- Really?

Well, I have to tell you.

But if we're going to
start with difficulties,
I'll just shut up.

No, no, no. Proceed.

You were saying
you're a taxi driver.

Yes, sir.

A sedan,
license plate number 777.

I drive during the day
and at night.

I have a radio.
It's broken, but I have one.

Very interesting.

But if I drive during the day,
I don't make enough money.

You know how everything
is so expensive, sir.

I mean, gas...

You can't get it, and if
you can, it's not pure.

And then, I mean, the rubber.

And the tires,
what about the tires?

Sir, they've even
started selling
synthetic rubber.

Synthetic, no rubber.

They just don't last.

Even sandals made out of it
would get holes in them.

And let's not even
talk about the spares.

A screw through the crankshaft

that holds together
all the carburetor
clamps and then goes

into the fan belt.

Fan belt or thief's belt?

They've monopolized
everything, sir!

And then rice
at two pesos a kilo!
It's not a car part,

but still very expensive.
What do you think of all this?

The other day,
they charged me
40 pesos for a plate.

- A plate of caviar?
- No.

For a plate for my back wheel!

Quite different.

I'm telling you, Sheriff,

there are some people
who don't understand
the situation.

The other day,
I got a very
lovesick couple, you know?

The kind that's bothered
by absolutely everything

right up to
the rearview mirror.

They get in and say
that they'd like a ride.

- Where do you think?
- Where?

To the Paricutin volcano!

I mean, man!
And on top of that,

they asked why
the volcano was born.

Unanswerable questions
like that.

And then,
because this is an issue
of independence, right?

The volcano was born
simply because
it was just a little mound

that just got bigger,
more powerful and hotter,

until out came lava.

Do you think that's unfair?

Are we going to
spend all night here?

That's inconceivable,
you can't hold us here!

Oh, my God...

What are you doing?

Be quiet.

You, proceed please.

What were we
talking about, Sheriff?

The volcano.
Well, I don't even know
where I am anymore!

You were saying
you're a taxi driver.

Continue.

The other night,

I took my sedan out to
take my girl for a ride,

because I always do
on Saturdays.

It was a beautiful night.

No moon, it was pitch black.

It was around...

The time was around...

Hold on tight,
because when it starts up,

it'll go backwards
and you won't be
able to take the kick.

Is this what you call a date?

Every time we go out,
the same thing happens.

You're not going
to nag me, are you?

How is it my fault
if the carburetor
turned out to be a lemon?

I'll have it fixed very soon
and it'll start up again.

It wasn't working
with good reason!

Look at all this junk!

Come on, now. My God.

That's why my spark plugs
were shot!

Look at this!

Hi, miss. Would you
like to go for a ride?

When you have
a better car than this,

you let me know.

Sorry, boyfriend!

And now you start?

Okay, okay, let's go!

Just let me have
drink one more.

One more glass.

Leave the glass alone.

Leave me alone. I want to die.

A gun!

What nonsense! Let's go.

Just look how he's walking!

Can I help you there?

Yes, do me a favor.
Call a taxi.

There it is, sir.

Where?

Don't you see it?

That's a taxi?

What's wrong with it?

Just bring me a gun,
I want to die.

I don't even know
what life's good for.

What's life doing for me?

When it just
brings about bitterness

This guy!

I'll give you
a ride in my taxi.

No, I don't need that.
Just help me.

Where to?

To 125 Mantua.

And where is that, sir?

At the top of the hills.

You wouldn't
want to go downtown,
by any chance?

Why downtown?

Because this car
doesn't climb well.

I'm worried
it'll roll back down.

Excuse me, sir.
I said we're going
to the hills, and hurry it up!

All right,
we'll give it all we've got!

This hurry-it-up
thing isn't up to me.

Hold on tight, I don't want
anything to happen
to my passengers.

Where am I,
where have you brought me?

Don't worry, you're okay.
Calm down.

I think it's best if you sit.

Death, a cold tomb,
poison, please.

Bring some water.

Please, splash him.

More. Don't be afraid.

Right.

Not that much, you fool.

First you asked me
to splash him.
Then to throw more.

Don't you see
how you're wrong?

What a reaction.

What happened?

Nothing, you were drunk
and you wanted
to kill yourself.

Yeah, you were very somber.
And death, death.

As if death is going around
looking for drunks.

Yes, death is what I want,
because life has
no appeal for me.

Read this.

"Romerito, my love."

"My love" is me.

Hmm.

"Dad says that if
you come near me,

"he'll butcher you
like an animal."

The animal is you, isn't it?

"He assured me
that a Montescon
would never wed his daughter.

"At least,
not a live Montescon."

Well, to me,
it seems there's nothing
live about you.

You just look alone.

"He wants me to marry
a certain Teobaldini.

"Do something
if you don't want

"our next meeting
to be in a tomb.

"Your Julita."

There you have it, a tomb!

- We have to do something.
- What are you thinking?

Right now, nothing.

But we have to stop
that savage Capulido

from marrying his daughter
to that Teobaldini.

That man really hates you.

It's a feud
between the families,

and I don't even
know how it started.

Yeah, I know.

On the other hand,
his goal is to

have his daughter
marry a classical actor.

This Teobaldini
is a bad actor,
but he's the classic example

of an unscrupulous idiot.

We have to do something
to stop that wedding.

Yes, but how?

That's what I'm saying, "How."
Because, well...

For example, really. You know,
I don't have a clue
what you're talking about.

Don't butt in. How?

That's what
I'm thinking about. How?

- I think I have an idea.
- Yes?

What?

Find a guy who wants
to pass himself off
as a great actor.

You're an actor.

Yes, but I'm not great.
And Old Capulido knows me.
No, no.

We need to find
somebody nobody knows.

An eccentric, as the old man
doesn't think
anyone normal can be great.

That way, we can distract
the old man from Teobaldini,

and at least we'd get
some more time.

And then,
something will come to us.

Yes, that's great,
but where are we going
to find the man you described?

Look, what I think, in truth,

is that the guy
you're looking for,

just my opinion,

very personal, but I think,
in this case,
it'll do you well.

This eccentric has to fool
Teobaldini and
that other guy, right?

So they don't
find out and suspect,
and everything goes to pieces.

The way I understand it,
you're with me, right? Good.

So, this guy, at the end,

because it has to be
an eccentric,

it's a great idea he's had...

So, I have just the guy, sir.

I have a cousin
who's a yam seller.

He's a great guy,
and he's a bit strange
and also...

The kind of guy
who takes a situation,

because, you listen,
if Teobaldini comes across
a guy like that.

Because, look, this guy

is so eccentric, that once,
in our neighborhood,

the doorwoman had all
the details,

and then these things
happened to my cousin,

and without
suspecting anything he said,
"What, what?"

And he was like, "Yeah, yeah!
Right away."

And that's the guy you need,
don't you think?

- You.
- Me?

Yes, you. Sit down.

Here, it's from Havana.

Really?

Okay, tell me, don't be shy.

What do you most
want in this life?

What do I most
want in this life?

You know, I'd like to...

No, but it couldn't be...

Speak, don't be ashamed.

- No?
- No.

You know,
I really want to take my girl

out on a date,
and well, every time...

No, it's too much.

No, it's not. Tell me.

Well, something I want,
that I've wanted
my whole life,

that keeps me up
all night, is a car.

A car?

Yes, a new car.

You know,
four wheels, white rims.

Automatic steering,
changes speed,

fog lights,

everything. The whole package.

Very well. It's yours.

Where is it?

We'll go pick it out
together, tomorrow.

Listen to me carefully.

Okay.

"After 20 years of absence,
the famous
Mexican classical actor,

"Abelardo del Monte,
has returned to the capital.

"He has had a great
many hits in Europe,

"where he's been
since the age of 10."

I don't know who that is.

You don't know who he is?

He's the best Hamlet!

He's a classic,
par excellence.

I know the best Hamlet actors,
but this del Monte...

Is this del Monte good?

The best.

I've seen John Barrymore
and Leslie Howard
in the role, but...

Abelardo del Monte
was his teacher.

- So young?
- Hmm?

Of course.

Listen to this.
When he was 15,

he was already
teaching the best.

He just has such a gift.
That's why he hasn't
acted much.

It was decided that
his natural talent

was best served
creating a school,

and refining
his peers' qualities.

He's more than an actor.

He's a pillar of classicism,
without whom

immortal theater
would crumble and fall.

I see.
And this genius is here?

- I have him locked up.
- Where?

He's locked up
in his meditative world,

that always gives rise
to something new.

I need to know this man.
I'd like my daughter
to meet him.

- Me too.
- Sorry?

I wanted to
introduce him to you too.

It won't be easy.
Like all geniuses,
he's special.

A bit disconcerting...

But it pays to
get to know him.

If you manage to
bring him here,
I'll be in your eternal debt.

I don't know...

It will be difficult.

Do you want him here tomorrow?

Do you think that...

I'll do what I can
to convince him.

Juanito, your hand.

Tomorrow will be
a great day for me.

Well, see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Are you confident
in the result?

Absolutely.

I can assure you,
that at this moment,

Capulido has forgotten
all about Teobaldini.

All we have to think about
is whether our genius

will fall in love with Julita.

Let's suppose everything goes
as you've said. Then,

what do we do?

This situation
might be able to last

as long as we need to
figure something out.

By the way,
do you have any money?

- How much do you want?
- Not much, about 1,000 pesos.

Just in case.

I'll get it for you,
but make sure nothing happens,

because we have
to clothe that guy.

Where is he?

It took a lot to convince him,
but he's taking a bath.

- You bathed?
- Did I bathe?

Just putting my feet
in gave me the flu.

Even with all this
and my shoes on.

If I wash my whole body,
I'll get meningitis.

And those faucets don't work,
I'm telling you.

You're waiting,
and you turn on the faucet

so that a stream of water
will come down
from above

and then this stream comes out
from below that ruins it all.

I like my little tub better.

I get in and I wash myself
with my flowery water

- and I'm good as new.
- Very well.

Now take that towel
off your head,
and comb your hair.

I did already.

This is here to
straighten my hair,

so that my curls
don't come out.

I see. Listen to me carefully.

You are no longer you.

- No?
- No.

Then who am I?

I've already told you,
your name is

Abelardo del Monte.
You're a great actor.

Do you remember?

I'll do the best I can.

They're sure to ask
you many questions.

Try to appear as if
you know everything

and that you know
everyone in Europe.

Monarchs,
presidents, dictators...
And famous people.

- Do you understand?
- I think so. Is that all?

No. Try to be as
charming as possible

with the lady of
the house, Julita.

Well, not that charming.

Which one is it?

Ignore him. Be charming.

Look, it's late.

Here are your clothes.

I'm sure they'll fit you,
because when I got them
I was thinner.

Okay, how do I put this on?

We'll help you. Look.

These are the pants.

Distinguished friends,

I'd like to make
the first toast tonight

in honor of our
illustrious guest,

the genius of classicism,
the pride of our nation.

To the famous actor,
starting tonight, the immortal

Abelardo del Monte.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Enjoy your meal.

And who is this guy?

- I'm sorry?
- Who are you talking about?

About you!

Of course, about me. Cheers.

Cheers.

Your modesty is as great
as your genius.

Are you a stoic?

Aren't you?

- Do you like the caviar?
- The what?

The caviar you just ate.

That was caviar?
It tasted like sardines.

But it was very good.

It has a lot of vitamins.

Really? Like how many?

I don't know.
Hundreds of thousands.

You know, personally,
I want to get acquainted
with all the vitamins.

You have a very
highly developed
sense of humor.

Do you think?

- Indubitably.
- What vision.

These moth balls are great.
Cheap and your clothes
don't get holes.

My daughter was telling me

that nobody knows Shakespeare
better than you.

Shakespeare? Oh, yes.

I know him very well.

It's like a great friendship,
you know?

We really
understand each other.

And really, he's a great guy.

One thing that's very,
you know...

I don't know if
I should say this,
but he always

says to me that
our friendship is real,
you know?

That we're in this together.

"Hey Shakey,
where are you going?"
"Wherever I want, man."

He always says
and does things spontaneously,
and he's very frank.

But about three weeks ago,
we had an incident.

And I said, "Look Shakey,
why do you do these things?

"You don't need to do
anything crazy,
just be yourself, be cool."

Amazing, so original.
You really are a genius.

He doesn't care
about anything.

And Bernard Shaw?

What do you think
of Joan of Arc?

Bernard Shaw and Joan of Arc?

Joan of... Oh, yes!

Joanie!

How could I not?

It's a question of taste,
but she's not really my type.

Sir.

I was being serious!

Your response
is strange to me.

He's an obnoxious fellow,
isn't he?

Indeed.

There are some questions
that shouldn't be asked.

My friend,
I'm going to announce

something that's sure
to please you.

I can't wait, man. What is it?

- And you too, Juanito.
- Me?

Brace yourselves.

Sirs,

my request for you to
be present at this feast

was to be able to give you
the opportunity to meet

our illustrious
guest of honor in person,

the universal genius,
Abelardo del Monte.

But that's not all.

It was also my intention

to publicly announce

that I'm taking
advantage of the fact
this wonderful actor

is in our country.

I've rented out one
of our best theaters

so that Abelardo del Monte
can play in one of the best

classical pieces,
and in which my Julita
will make her debut.

- I can't...
- What?

I can't pass up
the opportunity to say

what a great idea
I think this is.

Thanks.

Do you accept?
I ask you in the name of art.

Who knows...

Because now
the game has changed.

When they explained it to me,

I agreed wholeheartedly,
but I wasn't warned
about this.

These are things,
that in reality,
it's not that one does

or doesn't do things,
because it's already done.

But yes, of course,

because, well, you know.

Reading into the meaning
of what my
illustrious friend is saying,

I can assure you
that he accepts,
with great pleasure.

Thank you.

Words can't express
how I feel.

Yes, but imagine

how I'll be.

May I ask which play
you will be putting on?

The most romantic one...
Or so I'm told.

And the most intense one.

Romeo and Juliet.

For the most
beautiful of all the Juliets.

For the most
romantic of all the Romeos.

Right, cheers.

Speech, speech!
Speech!

Say something,
Mr. del Monte.

Just a few words,
Don Abelardo.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I'm very glad to have been
part of this conversation.

To tell you

in the spirit of my friend,
Shakespeare,

that I am honored.

I feel overwhelmed

and, at the same time, I ask

not to talk about
Shakespeare's personality,

because we all know him...

We know who
Shakespeare.

He knew how to analyze

and knew how to show
that in all fields
and all aspects,

he was a genius.

He is a genius.
I remember what he said to me,

he said, "What are we in life,

"if we don't see
through the swamp
of disillusion?"

What an expression.

An expression that
captures everything.

Everything that
can be captured in
an expressive expression.

For my last tour,
ladies and gentlemen,

through San Juan de las Cochas,

a cheery town,

close to what we can call
the northern border,

where everything is... Pure.

There, I was able
to convince myself
that all of us,

in the momentary moment
in which we live,

need to know why
we aren't or won't ever be,

never in life,
but keeping in mind

this little tidbit
from the universe.

So, my dear friends,

the moment should be...

TONIGHT ROMEO AND JULIET

That's my man! Excuse me.

See how it's impossible?

How are you doing?

It's tragic. He hasn't
learned any of his lines.

You can't understand
anything here.
Listen to this.

First we have

"Romeo exits." Very well.

A guy can exit.

Then, continuation dots.

Question.

"Romeo leaves."

When he leaves, he exits.

Or he enters,
but then he disappears.

Then he doesn't speak.
And if he doesn't speak,
why am I learning it?

Why is he learning it?

Do you even know
what you're saying?

Why wouldn't I?

It's boring, plain and simple.

Look, it's a logic issue.

Then, some other issue
that when you try
and so that...

Why wouldn't I understand,
and then look,
it says here... That...

You know what's
happening here?

It's also an issue
with the prompter.

Are you able to follow him?

It's tiring.

- Follow who?
- The prompter.

No.

I think it's better
if the prompter
were to follow me.

God help us.

Oh, don't worry.

I have a plan,
we just need to improvise.

If everything
goes well, tomorrow,

Narciso will accept you
as his son-in-law.

I've asked the actors who play
Juliet's parents

to try and emulate
Julita's parents
as much as possible.

- I don't understand.
- Me neither.

To impress them.

Anyway, don't worry.

And you,
say your lines as you wish,
but say them.

And it changes.
Do you want to tell me
what is happening?

If you do this well,
you'll be free tomorrow.

- Done.
- Great, let's go.

So, come on, you only have
a few minutes before we start.

Let's go, Julita.

I can't stand this piece.

But nobody ever spoke about
tolerating or not tolerating.

Romeo.

Romantic and everything.
Next time, you prepare me
for everything, sir.

Look around.

The play sold out.

This is the happiest day
of my life.

Shh.

Honored spectators.

The version of
Romeo and Juliet in which

the famous
Abelardo del Monte will act

will most
definitely be different

than what you may
be accustomed to.

Art isn't still
water in a lagoon,

but rather
the tumultuous stream
that can't be contained.

And this stream of innovation

will pass before
your unenlightened eyes.

Thank you.

Did you hear that?

Yes, a stream
is going to rush out.

This man has to
become my son-in-law.

Do you think
he will like Julita?

Such an artist
can only fall in love
with another great artist.

That's what I'm saying.
In this case, all is lost.

How?

There's nobody in the world
quite like your daughter.

- But...
- Shh!

The gray-eyed morn
smiles on the frowning night,

checkering the eastern clouds
with streaks of light,

now, ere the sun
advance his burning eye,

the day to cheer
and night's dank dew to dry,

I must fill this basket
with the earth's
precious gifts.

But how costly it all is.

Thirty cents.

They didn't give me
any parsley.

Romeo, you're here?

Yeah, man.

- It's him!
- Shh!

Sit down!

To what do I owe
this early visit?

It doesn't seem
like you're coming
from a very Christian place...

If you see that...

What's happening
is that I'm not
explaining myself, right?

I said to myself,
I'm not going to sleep.

So then I turned like this,
and I turned like that,
this insomnia...

You know, something like that.

And I couldn't sleep!

And what is chasing
your sleep away?

Father,

- a girl.
- What?

Rosaline.

Do you know her?

Yes, but I've never
spoken to her.

Do you like her?

She's not bad.

Romeo! What are you asking?

Material things mean nothing,
only one's spirit
is important.

Well, that's your opinion.

You don't expect me
to go around

looking for nothing
but spirit, do you?

There has to be
something material.
Don't you agree?

My son, what you're doing
isn't right.

Passions are bad,
and lead to nothing good.

Love, if you will,
but do not idolize.

Rosaline is your first love.

No.

I'm not so sure about that.

At least, your first passion.

Don't get swept away.

Distract yourself.
Go to parties.

Interact with
other youth, compare.

And don't make any decisions
until you are absolutely sure.

Only then will you find
true happiness.

You think so?

Yes.

Because it just
so happens, Father,

many times, one doesn't hear
what you're saying
or what I'm saying,

so why do we go about telling
each other stories, right?

But the other day,
I went on a weekend trek...

- Pardon me?
- A weekend trek.

And there was this girl
that I didn't know,

who started looking at me,
in this way, who knows what...

Well, I was
electrified, because...

Well, it was electric, man.

And what a coincidence,
I was saying that love...

In a way, it reciprocates...

You don't want
to hold on too tight,
and why?

Because you could be wrong!

Look. Be pure, my son.

Listen to what I say,
because my advice is sound.

Will you obey, brother?

If not, we'll give it all
we've got.

- So long, Father.
- So long, my son.

I mean, God be with you.

I see this youth
in modern times
to be very bad.

Very bad indeed.

Oh, look! Here's my parsley.

It's the Capulets!

Look, Romeo's friends
are there!

And if they see us to be foul,
shall we beat them
so they howl?

Let's wait until
they force our hand.

If they provoke us,
it would be grand.

Look, here comes Romeo.

Why do you look so sad?

The love of a woman.

Rosaline?

How do you know?

Because, in Verona,
you'll never find,

another maiden of her kind.

But you're forgetting Juliet.

Juliet?

Juliet?

She's a wonder.

You'll never find,
in all the world,
someone quite like she.

You don't say...

- Did you hear that?
- Yes.

My ears caught
your Juliet's name.

I'll have to go
stake my claim.

I must.

You're gold and treasure,
O Juliet.

I love you,
though we haven't yet met.

And what about that Rosaline?
So soon,
you've put her out of mind?

My heart wants what it wants.

And like gold, you'll see,
this new love will always be.

And maybe by the weekend,
there'll be something more.

O Destiny,
send me something new

from that
secret hold of yours.

Send my way...

Didn't I tell you? Paris!

The Capulets!

That guy is really
asking for it!

Stop your game,
stand up straight.

Your prince is coming,
he's on his way.

It wasn't me.
What happened was...

Be silent and listen.

All of man
in this prince's land,

listen well to
what he has to tell.

Do not disturb the peace
and all it has to give,

for with each other
you'll have to learn to live.

If you choose to disobey,
to punish you,
I'll find a way.

If I'm forced,
I'll stop at nothing.

If I see weapons
in hand and anger in head,

I tell you, I'll make sure
you end up dead.

This is my duty
here as prince.

Let's go.
We'll see how this turns out.

The Montague line must perish.

I agree with this.

I'm prepared to do
whatever I can.

You're not doing much.

I hope you'll make
a better husband.

What's this I hear?
When was this arranged?

Has Juliet finally agreed?

I agree, and it's the same.
But don't sit
comfortably on the side.

Ten gentlemen
more suitable than you
are also asking for her hand.

Fool.

It's up to you to make sure
she doesn't leave you.

Not one way or the other.

Pray to God and you will see.

My Juliet,
16 years old will soon be.

And for the first time,
she will be present
at tonight's party.

My heart beats with joy.

To make her love you
is the ploy.

And I'll do so
with great pleasure.

And I swear to you
that if you take
a smart wife who loves you,

you will avoid
problems in the future.

Thank you, sir,
I'll take your advice.

Oh, my fair,
fair Juliet.

What a brute. What an idiot.

But he will soon
be ruler of Verona,
and I, the colonizer.

Look, here comes Mercutio.

I was able to get invitations
for tonight's ball.

Cheer up, Romeo.
You'll soon meet Juliet.

O Juliet.
White rose, obedient flower.

How did you get
the tickets so quick?

I bought them at
three ducats forty.

How?

Old Capulet
is selling his tickets
at three ducats forty?

No, but they're
almost all in resale.

That's quite another tale.

And did you say
that tonight I might...

Dance with Juliet,
that's right.

Mother, will I get to know
all the handsome
gentlemen of Verona tonight?

We'll see.
But none so handsome
as your betrothed Paris.

Betrothed?
But I've only met him once.

He said a few foolish things,
and I felt nothing for him.

My dear,
your marriage is long overdue.

Husbands aren't really there
to make us feel something.

Atrocious concept.
And it doesn't matter
that they're a bit slimy.

So what are husbands for then?

To pay bills,
don't ask these things.

What's important
is that you have
a good marriage.

And Paris is
the richest man in this land.

And what about love?

That's another story.
You'll come to
understand with time.

Get yourself ready, dear.
The party is about to start.

A moment, gentlemen.

May I see your tickets, then?

Here you are,
these are the ends.

Everything seems in order.

Gentlemen, welcome, come in,

and try your best
to have some fun.

You're sure to find
some ladies

who will as virgins
fall at your feet,

so I'll let you
tire yourselves
in the noble art of dance.

I, too, have known the nights
where dance has
put me in a trance.

Whisper in their ears,
warm words,

sweet words,
and maybe something more.

But for me, those days
are a thing of the past.

You've worked a lot,
now rest, at last.

And tonight,
perhaps a bit stressed.

Why don't you
retire for the night?

I'm too old to dance,
but not too old to be polite.

Not to annoy you,
with caution, I'll tread.

That's no way to
respond to guests.

Oh, you bald old man,
you make me mad.

Who's that
impertinent young man?

Based on his look,
I know his family.

Tell me immediately.

He looks like
the son of Montague.

No!

My dear,
when the dance starts,
go tempt your fate.

The dance?
Mother, I prefer to skate.

With innocent sports,
you've spent much time.

It's time for
something more sublime.

Look at
the wonderful gentlemen,
all of them have for you come.

Do none of them please you?

Oh, just one.
So delicately he moves.

Juliet, is it that one?

Yes, the one with
all the wavy lines.

Shall we go back
to the old ways?

It's all so innocent!

Tell me, where did you find
that beautiful dress?

In Mantua,
from the most famous stylist.

It must have been
very expensive.

Indeed, for six ducats,
but it went over
without a hitch.

The best dancer
I've ever seen.

Do you think
that's really Montague?

He's known for
his ability to dance.

Yes, but that's my daughter
he's making a fool of.

Oh, the vision,
just like a dream.

Oh...

- Come closer.
- Okay.

Continue. Here is my hand.

How smooth.

I'm scared of ruining
the skin of this white dove.

What a delicate hand.

I use the best lotion
in all the land.

But still more
delicate are my lips.

Let's try,
come, lean in for a kiss.

Oh, wow, and you smell
of a coconut soap.

You're shy, good sir.

Will you not show
my lips that you care?

Does that mean you want me to?

I was hoping not to
spell it out for you.

Well, before it's too late...

Is that what you wanted?

- More.
- Huh?

More or less. But tell me,

who taught you to kiss?

Little details, no need to...
Would you like to try again?

I tremble with anticipation.

And you?

I'm about to explode.

Kiss me again, one last time.

- One last time?
- Yes.

For I felt it was but a dream.

A chimera,
a cloud turned to steam.

That's what you think.

Kiss me.

It's true!
You're more than but a cloud!

Yes, but we can't
know for sure.
We can try again, once more.

No, I will not be able
to stand anymore.

Juliet, Juliet!
Your mother is worried,
go see her, don't forget.

Here is that
wonderful young man.

Goodbye.

And her?

Tell me, madam, did I discover
that you know that
fair lady's mother?

What a question
it is you pose.

Your fair lady's mother,
dear sir,
is the Lady of this palace.

A Capulet?

O cruel fate.

My life belongs to my enemy.

What will Father say to me?

Let's go,
this party's come to an end.

You seem strange.

Did you see Juliet?
See how crazy she can get?

And how!

How much I would give
to be with her.

Who is that gentleman?

I do not know.

Find the list
and tell me, pronto.

Romeo, the only son
of Montague.

A Montague?

The son of he with whom
my father feuds.

It wouldn't work.
I'll have to lose him.

What are you saying?

Nothing, Mother.
Just that it's getting late.

Yes, let's go,
for it is time to go to bed.

I can't leave here.

Any particular reason?

Of course.

Oh, my heart.
I'd be leaving without it.

You've been struck by love.

A girl like Juliet
is unheard of.

I'm going to go up there.
Pass me the mandolin.

Wait, there's a guard!

But it's late
and I'm desperate.

Let's observe
the route he follows.

- You got him!
- In the noggin.

Help me get up there.

Now it'll be easy.

Shall I follow you?

Mercutio, you know this plan
needs no witness.

You know how our friendship
makes me feel,

but I don't need
a third wheel.

What light?

And in that window,
what a beautiful silhouette.

Without a doubt
it's my Juliet.

Let me sing to you my refrain,
peppered with
notes of my pain.

Yesterday I was a bit off,
but now I'm back to me again.

Wake up

My sweet love

What I feel for you

Really plays with

My heart

So please, wake up

Hear the sweet song

Sung to you by your lover

Sung to you by your dear

All for your love

Listen to that beautiful song!

A singing troubadour
who's traveled too long.

It's not music from Verona.

It must be music from abroad.

Love still calls
to this man.

- Who's calling?
- Love, my dear.

Well, tell it to
come back tomorrow,
as I'm really quite tired.

Of course.

I don't want anyone else

While I'm still alive

In this world

Please don't love
another man

Or give him your heart

But please, wake up

Don't wake up all angry

And hear the sweet song

Sung to you by your lover

Sung to you by your dear

Sung to you by Cupid
Sung to you by your Ro-Ro

Sung to you by your man
And why do you think he does?

It's for

Your love

That sweet, refreshing voice.

Just like the morning dew.

Like a bird's graceful flight.

I'll have to open the window.

Romeo! My love, my desire!

Answer me, it's your Juliet.

What's happening, Romeo?

Nothing, just a blow
to my head!

What a cruel destiny
this is.

Why does it always
put obstacles in the way

of what I want the most?

Continue.

Continue speaking, my delight.
Do not think about my plight.

Do you like
hearing the words
from my mouth?

Yes, but I must wait
for my clothes to dry out.

Come up here, my love.
Come up, come up.

Contact with you, my love,
will warm us both up.

Come up, my love,
into the heat, you can drift.

Do you maybe have a lift?

How did you get here?

There are soldiers around
guarding the grounds.

Love led me here.

I knew I had to come,
so when I saw the first one,

I hit him in the head
with my instrument.

I'm glad you came
all the way here.

It means you love me
and hold me dear.

I can't live without you.

Tell me, what's your name?

Romeo Montague Junior,
at your service.

And I a Capulet.

Hate will never let
these two names rhyme.

Will you stop loving me

because of
our families' fight?

The names don't matter to me,

they're all
just being uptight.

Romeo, if you always
think this way,

I'll always be yours,
come what may.

Do you want me
to be your wife?

I'd like nothing more.

Well, that took a bad turn.

But if there's no other way,
I'll come for you tomorrow.

No, wait. I'd like you
to find Friar Laurence
in his room.

I'll go there too,
and he'll join our lives.

So, like, what time?

At dawn. Does that please you?

Leaving you scares me.
And the cold
is quite a bother.

But as long as you'll be mine,
I'm happy to get
married whenever.

Kiss me, for I love you so.

How will I make my way?
Is there no way I can stay?

Oh, the things you say.
Tomorrow will be another day.

Why's it so bad,
my life and joy?

See you tomorrow, my love.

See you soon, my Juliet.

Oh, no, Juliet!
Not again with the plant.

Five o'clock. A new dawn.

The same as yesterday,
with a new sun.

Man has been made, by God,
a creature of habit.

I'll have to go
procure my food.

We'll see if
the rice is cheaper.

What's up, Father?

You? Romeo?

Is it really you I see?

You look quite disheveled.

Just a little worse for wear.

You know,
something is different.
I'm very much in love.

If it's Rosaline you love,
take advantage of the bargain!

Rosaline is a thing
of the past, Father.
I'm talking about a new girl.

- How?
- That's just how things are.

They're just there,
all beautiful,
and what can one do. Right?

I look at her,
she looked at me.

I danced with her,
she danced with me.

I kissed her, she kissed me.

I hugged her, she hugged me!

Stop there, please.
I can figure out the rest.

And who's this
little coquette?

She says her name is Juliet.

Capulet's daughter?

He's so old.
He's a bag of bones.

Your enemy!
What do you want of me?

For you to marry us.

Just like that?

Do you know what you're doing
by getting married?

Friar Laurence,
do you know what I think?

If you had kissed her,
you'd understand me better.

- Oh, go back.
- No, I'm serious. Father, please.

I can't live without her.

What one has to do in life...

My son, it's fine. I accept.

I see in the distance

that this alliance

will finally do
what is long awaited

and end the feud,
or at least, abate it.

Amen.

- And when will you marry?
- As soon as you're ready.

If we wait too long,
I won't be able to handle it,
I'll explode.

- Is Juliet coming?
- Very soon.

My dear,
where are you going so early?

Nowhere is open.

To Friar Laurence's.
I wanted to hear
the holy word.

Very well.
Let's see how long you'll be.

Do you like the chocolate
served in this house?

I like it like crazy,
though it's a bit watery.
May I have some more?

And where is Juliet?
She's late in joining us.

Maybe she missed the bus.

My Romeo.

My Juliet. Where've you been?

Come closer.

Every time I see you,
my heart beats faster.

Just a moment,
I haven't finished
my chocolate.

Now I can kiss you.

Just a minute.

Do not sin.
First you must be married.

Oh, Father,
don't you understand
what's happening here?

We're just moving forward.

Romeo Montague,

do you take Juliet
to be your wife?

No, Father. I mean,
yes, Father. I like her.

That's something else.

Juliet Capulet,
do you take Romeo
to be your husband?

My heart can wait no more.

I'm so happy that I met him.

I'm telling you, Father...

If what she wants is
to stop wasting time,
what do we need...

Just marry us, already.

Hasn't anybody seen Romeo?
He's never been so late.

Maybe he got tangled up
in the ties of marriage.

Look, here comes Tybalt
with his men.

Who is that man?

An impertinent fool.

Capulet's youngest nephew.

Romeo isn't there.
But his friends are.

Are you looking
to start a fight?

Tell me, gentlemen.

If that's what you are.

Your manner offends.
Try to be more decent.

Are you indeed
Romeo's friends?

I'm friends with
anyone I please.

I heard a rumor
of a love story

between stupid Romeo
and Juliet, my cousin.

There's no rhyme
in your verse,
nor decency in your words.

Tybalt,
you're in a downward spiral.

I've no more patience.
Draw your swords.

There's no way
I won't walk out of this.

One moment!
What are you doing?

Here's Romeo,
one and the same.

You know me by my name?

A Montague can never
be Juliet's lover.

En garde!
I'll sew your limbs together!

And where's
your sewing machine?

- One moment.
- Is this a trick?

It's no trick,
I dropped my dice.

I'll bet 20 escudos.

I'm in.

The same. I win.

It's 40 now.

That doesn't work for me.
All right?

And if you like,
we'll go up to 590.

I accept. Let's see.

The same. You lose again.

Why do you keep the money?
Couldn't you show
more decency?

It's just that
you gave me an escudo
that doesn't contain a 720.

I don't explain myself, Romeo.
What's going on
with those dice?

You know,
I think they're a bit loaded.

Insolent fool, I'll kill you!

- Coward!
- Did they get you, friend?

Where? Where did they get you?

Right here. It's quite bad.

Brother, you're a hero.
You've saved my life.

A hero.
A fool, for having advanced.

Goodbye, Romeo!

My friend, is it possible
this will be the last
I see of you?

I think so.

What's happening, friend?

You're hearing
my very last breath.

Did you die?

All dead.

Let me just see if you
have what you owe me.

Tybalt! You murderer!

You need to yell louder.

Tybalt! You murderer!

Beggar!

Come closer,
I'm waiting for you.

Oh, God. It seems he heard!

You called me?
- Me? No.

Did you call
for the gentleman?

En garde!
You'll soon be in the company
of your late friend, Mercutio.

Wouldn't it make more sense
for us to fight
at the Capitol?

The Capitol is in Rome.
Are you trying to annoy me?

Wow, it was just a joke! Man!

He's unstable.

No other choice.
We have to fight.

Just a second.

One little second.

That little trick
you're doing?
I know it better.

Impossible!

Don't you see?
You're making
the same mistake.

Explain. What do you mean?

When I attack,
you attack too, then you stop.

Of course.

It should be the other way.
When I attack,

you go on the offensive.

And then I'll go out
little by little,

but then you stop,
come back...

And then we're out
and we'll see,

but now, it's back
to fighting we'll be.

I'm going to push you
all the way back.

I'm not going to stop.

That doesn't matter.

That's how you end things!

I feel I'm dying,
for one reason only.

What? Tell me already.

I didn't understand
your strange explanation.

Another will be...

The Prince and his men!

We're in trouble again.

Sir, they're both dead.

Completely? Are you certain?

Someone explain to me
how these events unfolded.

I'll explain.
Well, actually, first,
it's not what you think.

This dead guy here
killed that dead guy there.

What? A dead murderer?

Hmm.

This does not make any sense.

This is all crazy.

Crazy, but that's how it is.

When that corpse was alive,

it killed the other corpse,
which was alive.

Evidently,
since it's not possible
to kill a dead person.

You don't understand.

When the corpse

who had fought
with the dead man
was alive,

I mean, the suspected dead man
who was alive,

they both grabbed each other,

which was when the difficulty
with the dead man
and the alive man happened,

then the one
who was alive died
because he was about to die,

so now they're both dead.

And who killed the live one?

That one, I killed,
to avenge my friend.

Well, Romeo. That's very well.

For this crime,
I'm sending you
into permanent exile.

Do you hear? Before daybreak,

you will have started off,
to a long way from Verona.

If not, you will be hanged.

Is it true what you say?

I mean,
the guy's already dead.

Don't you think
this is a bit harsh?

I'm serious, Romeo.
Justice must be served.

This time,
I think they listened to me.

Let's go,
or it's going to get ugly.

Romeo! Romeo!

Romeo?

What's up, Father?

Wretched one.
Do you know
what you have done?

Yeah, some things happened.

They found two dead
men on the pavement.

I'm talking about the sentence
the Prince gave you.

Gee, I forgot that detail.
I wonder what getting him
to change it would entail.

Impossible.
Exile is your punishment.

All right, so it's time to go.
I'll take her with me, though.

What do you advise us to do?

- Romeo, you have to flee.
- What?

Flee? Me?
And abandon Juliet? No. No!

Never, never can I do that!
What a crime! Father!

No. No! No, no, no!

She will think me fickle.

Reckless fool.

Stupid, crazy man.

Wake up and save yourself.

Father, running away is worse!

Living away from Juliet...

You don't understand
what you're asking
of me, Father.

She's everything to me,
Father! Everything!

Don't make me! No!

I would rather die.
But that's just a saying.

Romeo, listen to what I say,
maybe you'll
appreciate it someday.

Exile is but a fleeting thing
when compared to death.

Yes, it's a weaker blow.

There we are!

Where shall I go?

To Mantua.
It's a wonderful city.

- Yes?
- Yes.

Okay, then, I'm off.

And what address
shall I give my Juliet?

A hotel, the Glorietta.

Nice rooms, a pretty view,

and for four ducats twenty,
you'll get food aplenty.

Sounds good.
They've themselves a renter.
I only hope for hot water.

So, give me a hug,
and try to be careful.

Can you see me leaving Verona?

Leaving my hometown
because of a guy in a crown.

God be with you,
wherever you go.

Martyrs are always
the ones we love most.

So, Father...

See you.

Oh, youth,
to live under such illusion.

But at least he'll have
a nice vacation.

Oh, Romeo.

Oh, Romeo, my sweet Romeo.

Where might you be
that I can't see you?

It's him! My love!
He's here to see me at last.

How wonderful.
And how graceful!

It's you! I was about to die.

Climb, come up here.

What is this crazy way
of greeting me all the time?

My lips are trembling,
yearning for a kiss from you.

Could you hold on?
I'm shivering here.

Come up here, you'll dry off.

At last, you're here.
My love, my sweet.

It took a lot out of me.

Come in,
you'll be warmer inside.

How will we last
with your exile?
I cry at the misfortune.

This sentence is a burden.

Forget that for a moment.

I'm still trying to find out

why the Prince was so strange,
what did he think?

I don't like exile
any more than
I like vacations.

But it doesn't matter
because later on,
it'll be okay,

but they shouldn't abuse,

this is arbitrary.
Did your mother go to bed?

Come closer, my love.
I feel you're very far away.

It's just that I'm very cold.
You know,
since I was very wet.

Kiss me, I'm your wife.

Don't you see,
I'm dying of love.

- You are?
- I am.

And you think this is how
it should be
and it's the best remedy?

I'm certain.
There's no other way
to forget our pain.

That works for me,
love is the best medicine.

Tired?

Not really. I feel a little,
you know, but...

What time is it?

It just struck four.

Would you like
to kiss me again?

No, because it'll get to ten.

- Wait.
- What is it, beautiful?

Don't you hear
the beautiful song

of the birds
wishing the moon so long?

Bird?

It seems to me the milkman's
already delivered the bottles.

Juliet, are you in bed?

Yes, Mother.

I'm solving a crossword.

This is your mother calling.

I'd like to talk to you a bit.
Please open the door
and let me in.

Dress quickly, my love.
Leave before they catch you.

But I don't want you
in harm's way.

Where did I put
my little cape?

You're just
like a small child.

- Goodbye, my Juliet.
- Goodbye.

My life will not be a life
until I can kiss you again.

My dear,
I have some news for you.

So early?

It's urgent.

Your father
decided this morning

that you'll be married
this weekend.

Mother, allow me to disagree.

It's your father.
We shouldn't go
against his will.

And you know that
once he gets an idea,

it's very hard to
change his mind.

Almost as if
he were the bride.

You must obey,
whether you like it or not.

Have you let her know?

Yes, but I haven't
convinced her.

What are you saying?

I don't think
she would disobey.

What are you saying, Juliet?

I'll need to find
a way.

After thinking about it,
I've decided to accept.

I knew you would.

Do you know who
your husband will be?

- No.
- Well, it's Duke Paris.

That blond pedant?

He's young and elegant.

He seems very calm.

- I would rather a dark-haired man.
- Silence!

Do not talk back.

Do you see
what's happening here?

I will not
discuss this anymore.

Tomorrow you will
gain a crown.

And I will gain half our town.

- Let's go, Mother.
- Let's go, Father.

Do you care what I think?

Only good old Friar Laurence
can save me now.

You're thinking of
getting married tomorrow?

To honor
my father-in-law's wishes.

It can't be here.
Not this week, at least.

When I'm not by her side,
I'm overcome with sadness.

Yes, but it's
Saturday tomorrow,
and that's my day off.

Please don't turn me
into a wretch.

Perhaps you could make
an exception for me?

Has Juliet accepted?

Her father already
gave his opinion.
And she's quite reserved.

And do you not care
what Juliet thought?

I think it's your duty.

What's this? Why are you here?

That's what I ask.
Are you not here for me?

I assure you, no.

Your kind disposition
gets rid of all my sadness.

You're easy to please.

He's not right in the head.

- Talking to me?
- Yes.

Please leave us,
as Juliet is here
for confession.

Yes, I'm going.

I don't want to disturb
your devotion in any way.

Goodbye, my love.

My treasure.
And tomorrow,
you'll be my wife.

Like it's not already done.

If you do not want to be mine,
I prefer to be dead.

There's an idea.

Leave, and close the door.

My daughter,
what are you going to do?

How will you get married,
if you're already a wife?

Did you forget
you were married?

Father, I don't know
what to think.

Am I really ruined?

Relax, relax.

Come to think of it,
you're looking quite pale.

Tired?

Because of the night I had.

You saw Romeo, your husband?

I did.

It was a troubling night,
without much rest.

I understand the injustice.

But don't despair,
for I'm here to help you.

Do you have a solution?

Father, I want to die.

Are you ready to suffer?

Whatever the heart wants.

Take this potion.

Don't drink it
little by little.

All in one big gulp.

What's in this little flask?

- Death.
- Gosh!

You see, I have no luck.

Don't be alarmed,
this death is but temporary.

Come on.
We'll give them all a shock.

That means, I'll wake up?

In two days.

You see?
Nothing more than that.

I'll send word
to Romeo so that

he comes back
just as you wake.

Very well.
I'll take the potion.
But it scares me.

Tonight.

I'll be sure that
you're presumed dead

with no
further discussion.

Goodbye, Father.

I'll walk you to the door.

My beloved Juliet,

you're all alone in Verona.

And I'm here, worried.

Unable to see you,
locked up in this hotel,
the Glorietta.

Unable to bathe,

as there is no tub.

Thinking about your love,
which tortures me.

What do you say, my love?

If I told you that...

This is already too long
and I'll have to cut it short.

Oh, my Juliet, my Julie,

I love you, I adore you.

If this exile
lasts any longer,

quite frankly,
I'm going to run out of money,

because here...

Everything is very expensive.

Sir?

- Sir?
- What are these fools calling out?

Damn them, they will pay
for their shouting

when I'm done
with this letter.

I'll be as notorious...

Oh, I'm quoting
Don Juan Tenorio.

Sir?

- Open up.
- All right. I'm coming.

- Who are you?
- Petro, your servant.

Petro?

Petro, Petro?

Oh, yes, I'd forgotten.
You were much smaller then.

Tiny, how you've grown!

Why are you so sweaty?

I just came from Verona.
Haven't you heard?

What's there to hear?

I've been locked up.
Did something happen?
May I know?

Speak! Remember that
I'm nervous.

I will do my duty,
but it pains me
greatly to do so.

That Juliet
over whom you fawn,
was found dead today at dawn.

No! Which Juliet?

Your secret wife,
over whom you've suffered.

Gosh, I forgot.

Oh, no! How did she die?

Nobody knows.
She never woke up.

O sad destiny.

You know,
that's not strange to me.

She was so tiny,
she was always so delicate.

Always.

Juliet, dead.

Oh, my dear Juliet.

Of course,
I need to cry for her.

Sir, what are you
thinking of doing?

For the moment, running.

To come face to face with luck
and meet Juliet?

No. To escape
paying the hotel bill.

Finally! Have you seen Romeo?

Answer me.
Did you speak to him?

Though it was what I wanted,
somebody beat me to it.

When I went to the hotel
and asked for him to
explain the situation,

they told me that he had left
and without paying the bill.

He hasn't changed.

Who could have told him?

What must they have told him?

That Juliet is dead,
and that he's a widower.

And he left his hotel
to make it to the cemetery.

Curses! God forgive me.

We must try and stop him
before he kills himself.

Juliet will wake from her
artificial death
within an hour,

and if he doesn't
know the trick,
all will go wrong.

I'm off,
I must go and run an errand.

In the hall,
you'll find
Your Excellency's mule.

Do you sell poison here?

That's what the sign says.

Do you have anything
that will kill me instantly?

This will do it swiftly.

But to die,
I'll have to drink a liter?

It's of such quality
that you'll leave
this world quietly.

I don't care about that.

Instead of a poison
that needs to be drunk,

could you possibly
give me one I could eat?

There are
infinite ways to die.

Tell me,
what are you looking for?

I think...

Maybe a little meat taco?

There's no science to that.

The competition
just made it up.

Okay, let's be done with this.
Tell me what it is you want.

Take the contents
of this little flask.

See the difference?
This one's nice and small.

Yes, but it's a completely
different effect.

And how much
for this little gem?

It's not cheap.
Twenty ducats, all gold.

Very expensive.
For that price
I could buy gold.

But if there's no other way...

Here.

This isn't reassuring.

Aren't these ordinary ducats?

They are pure as can be.

Sir,

you're forgetting something.

Thanks for telling me.

In this beautiful crypt
rests our beloved Juliet

Oh, Juliet, sweet love.

Rest in peace
while I cry in pain.

I wanted you for my wife.

"In this beautiful crypt

"rests my beloved Juliet."

In the same mausoleum,
soon will rest her Romeo.

I smell desecration.

- Romeo!
- London! I mean Paris!

En garde!
I've come to kill you!

Can't you wait a moment?
If you want,
I'll let you poke me.

I don't want excuses, coward.
I want you out!

Okay then. Goodbye,
for it's getting late.

A moment.

Let's go.

We'll see if
it's yours or mine.

I'm hurt, I'm dying!

Just what I wanted.
Comfortable?

The ground is a little hard.

Don't you worry,
it'll feel better with time.

Oh, Romeo,
at least I'll be
reunited with Juliet.

We'll all stay here together,
like three late friends.

Are you dead?

This guy died.
I wonder if I can manage it.

What do I see?

You look like you're asleep.

Juliet, my Julie.

My sweet love.

I'm here to die by your side,
with this little poison
I went to buy.

Cheers, Julie.

What's this?
It tastes like medicine.

Couldn't they have
given me another flavor?

Juliet.

I want to die
kissing your sweet lips.

Finally, I'm awake.

I wonder how much time
has passed.

I feel like I've been kissed.

Maybe it was just a dream.

Oh, Heavens,
what's this I see?

My Romeo's here
waiting for me.

He must have fallen asleep.

Romeo!

Romeo!

"A little swallow
to end your life.

"Sit down before use."

He'd dead! Poisoned!

It should have been me,
I wanted it so much.

But I'm by your side.

Wait for me. I'm coming.

Both dead.

I'm too late.

Why didn't I tell them?

What a fool I have been.

Step aside!

Let me at her!

Relax, now!

Hold me back!

It's not true, it's not true.

They're hitting our daughter.

Quickly, before it's too late.

So then the security guard
brought us here.

And that's it.
I think it's clear.
What do you think?

What I think?
It was very well told,
is my opinion.

It was a lesson in the triumph
of love with no discussion!

Boss, you're
sort of rhyming...

Sure? I must have been hit!

You've given me
the lesson I needed.

Sheriff? Some gentlemen
are looking for
Mr. Abelardo del Monte.

They want to see him,
they say it's urgent.

- Who are they?
- They gave me this card.

Gosh!
The International Committee
on Shakespeare.

They must want
to interview you.

- Where are they?
- In the waiting room.

Wow, this is really something!

I'm proud to say that
this hall of justice

has brought you justice.

You think so, Sheriff?

Without a doubt!
Look at your story.

Oh, well, that was, well...
But if you want,
I'll be right back.

I'm sorry I'm late,
but there are some things
out of one's control.

There were just
a couple of issues in there...

You know,
contracts and things.
Opportunity's come knocking.

There are some things that
we do more or less,
but I'm used to it.

In Paris, I had this
kind of reception as well.

And if your Commission
is interested...

So, I must tell you all that
I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I only ask that
you be brief, and...

I think these
gentlemen are here
to help that boy out.

That's one opinion.

You know, after all,
something surprising
happened here,

in his performance
of this role
in this great piece.

I think we need to be proud

that a fellow patriot of ours

of humble origins
could have...

How could they do that?

- What happened?
- Who was it?

Oh, ladies,
look how they left me!

THE END
