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?

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: [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!
