:48:03
I'd promised the morning to him, it seems.
:48:05
Señora, your invitation
was like a smile from heaven.
:48:08
- I was positively suffocating with boredom.
- Then let's fly. I'm dying for a canter.
:48:13
Oh, goodbye, Luis. Don't work too hard.
:48:16
- Goodbye, Excellency.
- Goodbye, goodbye.
:48:28
Esteban, that young Vega
Just told me a horrible tale
:48:31
about a madman in Madrid, like this Zorro.
:48:35
- He thinks I run a great risk by staying here.
- Forget your fears. I have a plan.
:48:39
Yes? What is it?
:48:41
Don Alejandro is the leader ofthe caballeros.
:48:44
This Zorro wants you to appoint him
in your place. What do you gather from that?
:48:49
Well, go on.
:48:51
Doesn't it suggest to you that Zorro
is the tool of Don Alejandro?
:48:54
Perhaps, but how can we prove it?
:48:57
We can at least help the situation.
:48:59
- How?
- Form an alliance with Don Alejandro.
:49:02
That's impossible. You know Vega's attitude.
:49:06
Perfectly, but Lolita should have a husband.
:49:10
What could be stronger
than a matrimonial alliance?
:49:13
Royal families keep
the peace of Europe in bridal beds.
:49:16
Diego and Lolita.
:49:19
Not bad.
:49:23
Not bad at all.
:49:29
Oh, Diego, talking with you is like
a drink of cool water in the desert.
:49:37
- Oh, it's a pity.
- What, Diego?
:49:40
- No, no. I mustn't make you discontented.
- Oh, please. Ofwhat were you thinking?
:49:46
I was just thinking
how you're being wasted here.
:49:48
Your beauty, your giFT for words,
your perfect poise.
:49:52
You were born for something higher,
more civilised than this provincial life.
:49:57
I know.
:49:59
- May I tell you something, Diego?
- Anything.
