Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
Antonio!
Antonio Galvan:
Pasqual! What luck! How wonderful to see you again.
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
You young idiot. What if you're recognized? Turn around. Sit down. Turn your back. What on earth ever tempted you to leave Paris?
Antonio Galvan:
I'm on my way back there now. I came to see my parents.
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
But there's a price on your head. Don't you know we have a new governor who eats Republicans for breakfast?
Antonio Galvan:
I'll risk it until the carnival's over. But how are you, Pasqual? Let me look at you. You've changed. Have you been ill?
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
My health has been excellent.
Antonio Galvan:
I hardly knew you without your uniform. I suppose it's another one of your famous adventures. Captain Pasqual Costelar in search of a new beauty.
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
I've left the army, resigned my commission. As for the ladies, my friend, for three years I haven't even looked at a woman. But enough of my affairs. What of yours? Why don't you leave while you can with safety?
Antonio Galvan:
Leave? I have an appointment this evening with the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
The advice may sound strange coming from me. I can't ask you to ignore the gentler sex. Had I to live my life over again, I'd probably do the same foolish things once more. But be careful, Antonio.
Antonio Galvan:
The boys in the club would laugh their heads off if they heard you were offering moral advice to the young. But while you're on the subject of advice, do you happen to know a goddess in this town by the name of Concha Perez?
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
The name is not unfamiliar to me. She lives at the end of the Plaza del Triunto, doesn't she?
Antonio Galvan:
Yes. Anything wrong with her?
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
Do you mean to tell me you don't know who Concha is? Concha, the singer, the toast of Spain?
Antonio Galvan:
Is she the toast of Spain? Well, I'm in luck. For the last five years, I've known nothing but jail, exile, and manifestos. Apparently you don't like her, do you?
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
She's the most dangerous woman you'll ever meet.
Antonio Galvan:
You must be mad to talk like that. What's she done to you?
Capt. Don Pasqual 'Pasqualito' Costelar:
It's no pleasure for me to talk about the past. But...
