1:15:01
I turn merriment into sadness
very quickly...

1:15:07
hounded as I am at all hours
by terrible thoughts.

1:15:13
So, Adelaida...
1:15:15
here I am, floundering
amidst the swell of doubt.

1:15:21
Oh, Adelaida!
1:15:23
If only you were here
to pacify me.

1:15:27
I miss you so much...
1:15:30
and how I long for us to walk
together again along the cliffs...

1:15:36
and watch as the sun sinks
into the sea...

1:15:39
and the stars
gradually appear.

1:15:43
Old age, if it's of any use...
1:15:46
is to contemplate reality
as it really is...

1:15:51
and my only reality
was you.

1:15:55
Well, you have
to excuse me now.

1:15:59
I've been invited to a banquet,
by Carmelillo, the priest.

1:16:04
By the way, you can't imagine
how fat he is.

1:16:07
It's as if he had the church pulpit
where his stomach should be.

1:16:13
When I tried to give him
an embrace...

1:16:16
I couldn't get
my arms around him!

1:16:20
Knowing him, the feast will be
like Camacho's wedding...

1:16:24
and the feasts of Lucullus
all together.

1:16:28
The truth is, I need to get
some things olid into me...

1:16:32
because those scoundrels
are starving me to death.

1:16:36
And don't you worry.
1:16:39
Old Albritis
more than capable...

1:16:42
of discovering when a lie
is grafted onto truth...

1:16:46
and villainy on to nobility.
1:16:50
We'll talk more later, Adelaida.
1:16:56
Blessed be the vine
that gave this wine.
