: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.
:50:02
Yes, of course I may.
I felt from the moment we met that we...
:50:10
Diego, Esteban is urging me to leave
my husband and go to Spain with him.
:50:15
- Oh, but my dear, no.
- But I'm dying here.
:50:18
Go to Spain, but not with Esteban.
:50:21
With whom, then, Diego?
:50:25
- With your husband.
- My husband?
:50:28
- Go to romantic, beautiful Spain with Luis?
- Well, let me explain.
:50:32
As the wife ofthe one-time alcalde
of Los Angeles, you'd be received at court.
:50:37
But as the companion
of a second-rate soldier offortune,
:50:41
- you'd be completely ostracised.
- Oh, I see.
:50:44
But Luis at court, imagine.
:50:46
But, in Spain, the husbands of
adorable ladies are merely background.
:50:50
- But I'd be lost among so many.
- Not you.
:50:53
You'd need only one "friend"
to introduce you into the proper circles.
:50:56
But I have no such friend in Madrid.
