The Loves of Carmen (1948)

Carmen García: What is it? What do you see there that makes you look like that?
[She looks at the tarot cards]
Carmen García: That isn't my fortune.
Old Crone: The fat's in the fire, all right. Just as I said.
Carmen García: That isn't my fortune, I tell you. I didn't cut the cards.
[Carmen swats them off the table]
Carmen García: Anyway, I don't believe in cards. I never have. As if you could see in those stupid cards that death was walking my way. We all have to die. And I can't think of a nicer way than to be killed by love.

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]

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.
