García: [after shooting one of his fellow bandits in the face] It would take a clever person to recognize him now.

García: I believe we had a rendevous at the edge of town at sunset. Was I mistaken? Could I possibly have missed you? Or is it possible you didn't feel like working today?
Carmen García: No. You didn't miss me, García. I had better things to do today.
[to José]
Carmen García: Didn't we, little soldier?
García: [Grabs her] You filthy wench! You could choose your pastimes when you like, but while I'm master you'll work too!
Carmen García: Nobody is my master, you dirty old goat! I'm Carmen, and I work when I want to work.

Shopkeeper: [after Carmen orders a great deal of food] She's always hungry, that girl!
Old Crone: [seeing Carmen is with Don Jose, what she says implies her sexual promiscuity] Someday she'll eat the wrong thing, and then she'll howl about the pain as if she'd never been warned before.
Carmen García: [Carmen realizes this may affect Don Jose and she looks at him for a reaction] Because they've lost their own appetites, they hate to see anybody enjoy eating.

Old Crone: [Reading Carmen's fortune] One love. One love emerges from all the rest. And makes the others nothing.
Carmen García: You're talking nonsense, old witch. There is no such thing as one love to Carmen.

Don José Lizarabengoa: [Accuses Carmen of having an affair] It's Lucas the matador now, is that it?
Carmen García: What difference does it make?
Don José Lizarabengoa: Answer me!
Carmen García: Yes! Yes! Now are you satisfied? And why not? I like to laugh once in a while. And what've I had with you? Nothing but tears and preaching and long faces. I can't live penned up in a cage. I won't! I'm sick of it. Can't you understand? I'm sick of you! Now get away and leave me alone!
Don José Lizarabengoa: [He clutches her] Carmen, don't leave me. Don't leave me, I love you so much.
[He kisses her repeatedly]
Don José Lizarabengoa: See how much I love you. You're all I have left in the world, little Carmen. I gave it all up for you. But I don't mind.
[He gets on his knees, hanging on her]
Don José Lizarabengoa: I'm not sorry. Only please, please, don't leave me.

Don José Lizarabengoa: [begging for her love on his knees] I lost everything. I gave it all up for you! But I don't mind. I'm not sorry - only please, please don't leave me!
Carmen García: [with complete contempt] Like a worm - cut him in half and he still crawls!

Don José Lizarabengoa: [Last lines of the movie] You're not going to get away with it, Carmen. Not this time, you're not. I'll kill him, do you hear? I'll kill him!
Carmen García: What would that settle? You killed two men who loved me. And for what?
Don José Lizarabengoa: Then I'll kill you, you black-hearted witch! I'll kill you.
Carmen García: I used to think you would, but I don't anymore. You're not man enough! Now get out of my way!
Don José Lizarabengoa: [He holds onto her arm] For the last time, are you coming back with me?
Carmen García: Don't hang on. I can't stand to have anyone hang on to me!
Don José Lizarabengoa: [He pulls out his knife] Answer me!
Carmen García: No, no, no, no, NO!

Don José Lizarabengoa: [noticing that Don Jose is looking at his stubbly face in a mirror with disgust] Yes, you've changed.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [with self loathing] We become what we do...
[with irony]
Don José Lizarabengoa: Don Jose!
[he throws away the mirror]

Don José Lizarabengoa: But why was I walking? Because I was punished for letting you escape, that's why.
Carmen García: All that for me. Just imagine. I owe you a great deal, it seems. How much longer must you stand here?
Don José Lizarabengoa: Of what importance is that to you?
[Carmen starts to walk away, clicking her castanets, Jose stops her]
Don José Lizarabengoa: Another hour, just one more and I can leave here. I'm confined to the barracks, but I'll get away, I swear it.
Carmen García: Come to think of it, I'm beginning to be bored with this party. I think I shall run away from it and go to Lillas Pastia's. In about an hour. That same hour you were speaking of... little cousin.
[She clicks her castanets as she walks away]

Don José Lizarabengoa: I'm Jose Lizarbengoa. Just arrived in Seville, señorita.
Carmen García: Señorita? Me
[She laughs]
Carmen García: You have just arrived in Seville!
