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: [noticing that Don Jose is looking at his stubbly face in a mirror with disgust] Yes, you've changed.

[with irony]
Don José Lizarabengoa: Don Jose!
[he throws away the mirror]

Don José Lizarabengoa: What are those Gypsies doing here?
Old Man: They've come to entertain. The colonel sent his own carriage after them. When he gives a party, he does things handsomely. I'll say that for him.
Don José Lizarabengoa: That girl, the one who's dancing. How can she be so bold as to come to the colonel's party? She's in hiding from the police.
Old Man: That's Carmen. And the colonel is a man just like any other man, I suppose. But it won't last. She never likes anybody very long.

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?
