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?

Pablo: [They are in the middle of robbing a stagecoach] We have company.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [Carmen comes over and takes a man's watch] What are you doing here? I told you I want you to stay away from this!
Carmen García: I was bored! I won't sit on my haunches and wait for you like the wife of a payo, stirring a pot of stew. I've been my own woman and a Gypsy too long, my friend.
Don José Lizarabengoa: I told you to leave these matters to me. I want no more of this.
Carmen García: You told me you wanted no more. I'm not your slave. I'm Carmen and nobody tells me what to do, I do as I please. If you're ashamed of what I am, find another woman. Get yourself a payo wife! You and your payo honor. I spit on your honor!
Don José Lizarabengoa: [She spits at him] Get back to camp.
Carmen García: I always used to ride with García.
Don José Lizarabengoa: I'm not García.
Carmen García: No, you're not. In many ways, you're not.

Dancaire: [to José] You don't like us, do you? We fill you with disgust. We're the symbol of your degradation.
