Mayoral: What do you want?
A peasant: Mr. Mayoral, the stream has been diverted
Mayoral: So what?
A peasant: It has been dry for one year now. We need water for our fields.
Mayoral: Is that water yours?
A peasant: It belongs to us all, Sir. It comes from above
Mayoral: So
A peasant: Mr. Mayoral, we beg you, let the stream flow freely again
Mayoral: No, the Marquis needs that water for his bulls
----------
Amelia: Be careful. Don't be so nervous
Mayor: I hope he'll come today Should I send someone at the castle to ask?
Amelia: He'll come today
Mayor: Try to look a bit more joyful, Amelia
Amelia: He can get my money also with the way I look now
Mayor: But he is the Marquis of Roccabruna, don't forget that
Amelia: The Marquis is a beggar. Someone should finally tell him.
Mayor: Be careful! If not everything will be over.
Amelia: When I'll be there, the first one I'll throw out is Don Camillo
Mayor: Today he asked for his commission again
Amelia: After the wedding! Give him half of his commission now.
Mayor: It will be a great honor for the family when you will be the marchioness
Amelia: In fact it's too much money for this honor
--------
Don Camillo: Mr. Marquis, it's time. The mayor has been waiting in vain three times already.
Marquis: Is there no other solution?
Don Camillo: The Mayor of Huesca is a rich man
Marquis: I don't like that woman
Don Camillo: But the Mayor is very rich and Donna Amelia is his only daughter. Next week, parts of your debts have to be paid. And there is no money left.
Marquis: What about moneylenders?
Don Camillo: Impossible not the ones in Barcelona nor those in Madrid. And besides, everything here is in pawn.
Marquis: But why do I have so many debts? How is that possible?
Don Camillo: If you don't trust my words, I can also leave.
Marquis: Nonsense, Camillo But tell me: what about the rent the peasants pay?
Don Camillo: Since you had this weir built, the peasants have no more water. So their harvests are really bad.
Marquis: I can't let my bulls die. The best bulls of the province.
Don Camillo: The province? The whole kingdom you mean.
Marquis: Well then let's go!
---
One of the girls: Do you like the food Pedro?
Other girl: Why don't you come more often?

Pedro: No
Old lady: Then I'll give you some to take with you
A girl: Pedro, which one of us all do you like?
Pedro: None!
A girl: Do you already have a girl? And how does she look like? Is she prettier than I?
Pedro: Yes
A girl: Don't leave so quickly Pedro!

Don Sebastian: These are my promised notes.. Ah! So Maybe next year if the harvest is good.
Mayor: I'm afraid I cannot wait till next year
Don Sebastian: What does that mean?
Mayor: I'll have to foreclose
Don Sebastian: My dear Mayor
Don Camillo: I think there is a solution
Mayor: Of course but the insult my daughter has suffered this must be made good.
Don Sebastian: So?
Mayor: You must keep your promise to marry her. But first that woman must go!
Don Sebastian: Out!
Mayor: Sir
Don Sebastian: Out!
Mayor: We'll see who throws whom out
Don Sebastian: Damn.. Well, any advice? You're always so clever.
Don Camillo: There is no advice I can give.
Don Sebastian: Does he mean it?
Don Camillo: Yes..
Don Sebastian: Giving up Martha no way
Don Camillo: You don't have to get rid of Donna Martha. There is a solution
Don Sebastian: What kind of solution?
Don Camillo: Donna Martha could be married off.
Don Sebastian: Are you crazy?
Don Camillo: We'll find her a husband. He doesn't have to be a real husband. Pay someone from the village to give his name. Donna Martha will be near to you. It will not bother Donna Amelia and you will be free of debt.
Don Sebastian. Not bad. That's the solution! We'll house the young couple in the house with the mill. It's not too far away.
---
Martha: Does anyone live up there?
Woman: Only the shepherd.
Martha: Yes, the shepherd.
Josefa: His man brought you back
Martha: Josefa, I want to leave
Josefa: Wherever you go, you can't escape him.
Don Sebastian: Let us alone. I need to talk to Martha. Why did you run away? Where you afraid? There is no reason for that.
Martha: Pleas Sir, let me go.
Don Sebastian: No, we shall stay together forever. Here.
Martha: Forever?
Don Sebastian: Yes. You think I'm the wealthy master of Roccabruna. But I absolutely don't own anything, everything is in pawn. A rich marriage is my only way out.
Martha: You want to marry? Then I'll be free.
Don Sebastian: You will also marry
Martha: I?
Don Sebastian: I've already chosen a husband for you.
Martha: Oh no!
Don Sebastian: It's just a mock marriage. You'll bear his name, nothing more. In reality you will remain my wife.
Martha: And that man?
Don Sebastian: He gets the mill in return. I'll never let
you go. Never again. You hear? I need you. I'll rather kill you
than let you go.
----
Nando: Pedro! I have news for you.
Pedro: What's the matter?
Nando: Don Sebastian told me to come to you. He wants you to become a miller.
Pedro: What? In the lowland? A miller?
Nando: Yes. An order of Don Sebastian. And you're getting married, to the woman his men found in your hut.
Pedro: What??? What did you say? The woman who was in my hut?
Nando: Yes, you have to marry her
Pedro: Have you seen her? Do you know her?
Nando: No, I was told you saved her, that's all. As a reward she'll be your wife.
Pedro: You, old man.. are you making fun of me?
Nando: Of course not! Son Sebastian ordered me to tell this to you. And I must take your place here.
Nando: What's happening? Are you out of your mind?
Pedro: You know Nando, I never thought I'd see her again. I was walking in Roccabruna. At the tavern I heard music and then I saw her for the first time. She was dancing. She was so lovely Nando. I forgot everything. And now she's to be my wife? Our master is very kind. How can I thank him?
Nando: Pedro, you do not know the lowland. People are different there. Not good.
Pedro: Nando I'm not afraid. Goodbye.
