- Pilar: Look I am ugly. Yet one can have a feeling here
- [points to her heart]
- Pilar: that blinds a man while he loves you. He thinks you are beautiful. And one day for no reason at all he sees you ugly as you really are. And he is not blind anymore. Then you see yourself as ugly as he sees you - and you lose your man and your feeling. Then one day the feeling, that idiotic feeling that you are beautiful, grows inside you again and another man sees you and thinks you are beautiful and it's all to do over again. Now I'm past it. But it still might come again.
- Maria: Pilar told me that time is not important.
- Robert Jordan: Maybe Pilar's right.
- Maria: Three days and three nights. Yet they're everything. Longer than the months in prison. Longer than the years I've lived. She told me something else when I left the cave. She said we must live all our life in the time that remains
- Maria: I do not know how to kiss or I would kiss you. Where do the noses go? Always I wonder where the noses will go.
- [kiss]
- Maria: They're not in the way, are they? I always that they would be in the way.
- [kiss]
- Maria: Look, I can do it myself.
- [kiss]
- Robert Jordan: Maria.
- Maria: Oh, did I do it wrong?
- [big kiss]
- Robert Jordan: Are you afraid?
- Maria: Not now. I love you, Roberto. Always remember. I love you as I loved my father and mother, as I love our unborn children, as I love what I love most in the world, and I love you more. Always remember.
- Robert Jordan: I'll remember.
- Maria: Nothing can ever part us now, can it?
- Robert Jordan: Nothing, Maria.
- General Golz: Listen. First we attack from the air. When our planes fly over, you'll hear the explosions. That's your time. I've got a good guide for you - an old man named Anselmo. But good! Knows the country like a fox, and the people to help you. Now, go and find yourself a pretty girl. But first get a haircut.
- Rafael: She has gypsy blood herself. She knows of what she speaks. But she has a tongue. It bites like a bull whip.
- Rafael: We found her hiding in the rocks where she'd run from the train. You should have seen her when we brought her here. No hair at all! Cried all the time. And if anyone touched her, she'd shiver like a wet dog. Man, but she was ugly.
- Anselmo: God's truth, Roberto - though gypsies usually lie. She looked like a half-drowned kitten.
- Pilar: Don't try to frighten us, coward!
- Pablo: Coward? Is it cowardly to know what's foolish? Or am I a leader for nothing? Haven't I brought you all alive through a year of this war? This foreigner comes here to do a thing for the good of the *foreigners*. And for this good, you want to sacrifice us! I'm for the good and safety of all.
- Pilar: Safety! Huh! There is no such thing as safety! Did I spend nine years with the worst paid matadors in the world not to learn about fear and about safety? Huh! Speak to me of anything but safety! Look at him. How I believed in him once, and look what he's now. From one year of war you've become lazy, a drunkard, and a coward.
- Pablo: Woman! You have no right to speak in that way.
- Robert Jordan: You've got to understand, Maria. I'm in this war to the finish. I can't have anything serious in my life. A man doing what I'm doing never knows what's going to happen.
- Maria: Whatever happens to you will happen to me.
- Fernando: Tell us, Ingles, why have you come so far to fight for our Republic?
- Robert Jordan: A man fights for what he believes in, Fernando.
- Fernando: Well, but, in his own country.
- Robert Jordan: Well, maybe you feel that I'm sticking my nose into other people's business. But, I don't feel that way. It's not only Spain fighting here, is it? It's Germany and Italy on one side and Russia on the the other. And the Spanish people right in the middle of it all. The Nazis and Fascists are just as much against democracy as they are against the communists. And they're using your country as a proving ground for their new war machinery. Their tanks and dive bombers and stuff like that. So they can get the jump on the democracies and knock off England and France and my country before we get armed and ready to fight.
- Fernando: Were you always a Republican? And was your father?
- Robert Jordan: Sure. Voted the Republican ticket all his life.
- Fernando: Did they shoot him for it?
- Robert Jordan: No. No, they don't shoot you for being a Republican in America.
- Maria: Pilar said I must tell you everything. And now you won't love me. Tomorrow you'll take me through the lines and I'll never see you again. Never. You won't want me. No, Roberto, we can't change things. But it's true ,I never kissed any man until you. When things were done to me, I fought until they tied my arms...
- Robert Jordan: No one's touched you! No one,
- Maria: You believe that?
- Robert Jordan: I know that.
- Maria: And you can love me?
- Robert Jordan: I can love you more.
- Maria: They were shoving me across the square and into the doorway and up the stairs of the City Hall - to the office of my father - where they put me on the couch.
- Robert Jordan: Maria.
- Maria: It was there the worst things were done.
- Anselmo: That sentry - he looks like a man from my village. He's very young. He must die?
- Robert Jordan: You couldn't do it, Anselmo?
- Anselmo: I would kill the sentry, yes, considering the necessity of the bridge. But if I live later, I'll try to live in such a way, doing no harm to anyone, that it will be forgiven.
- Pablo: Here I command!
- Pilar: Here *I* command. Haven't you heard them? Here no one commands but me now.
- Pablo: I should shoot you and the foreigner both.
- Pilar: Try it and see what happens. Listen to me, drunkard! You understand now who commands?
- Pablo: Why, I command!
- Pilar: No! Listen! Take the wax from your ears. Listen well. I command.
- Pablo: All right. All right. You command.
- Anselmo: Until you had horses, you were one of us. Now you're *rich* with horses, you want to retire.
- Pablo: A lie. You know I exposed the horses for the cause.
- Anselmo: To eat well, yes. To steal, yes. To murder, yes. To fight for the Republic - no!
- Pablo: You're an old man who will make trouble with his mouth.
- Anselmo: I'm an old man not afraid to fight. I'm an old man without horses.
- Pablo: You're an old man who might not live long.
- Anselmo: I'm an old man who will live until I die.
- Robert Jordan: I'm thinking about the bridge.
- Maria: I'm thinking about you, Roberto.
- Robert Jordan: Why Maria?
- Maria: Well, I don't know.
- Pilar: Life is very curious. I would have made a good man. But, I'm all woman - and all ugly. Yet, many men have loved me. Is that strange?
- Pilar: What about me? Do I have to kiss you, too, to get a horse? It's been years since I kissed a bullfighter. Hold this, Ingles, till I get a good kiss at him. Hah! Look at him! He's afraid of a kiss as he was afraid of the bulls.
- Joaquin: You don't need to make a joke of it.
- Pilar: When I kiss, it won't be as a sister!
- Pablo: I know why you went to see El Sordo. Horses make tracks in the snow, hey, Ingles? Yeah. Now there will be no offensive. No bridge. No. Just snow. Yeah. And no making love in the heather!
- Maria: Dry your feet well.
- Robert Jordan: You can't dry them with your hair?
- Pilar: What a swine! Hit him with a chunk of wood, Maria.
- Robert Jordan: I'm joking because I'm happy.
- Maria: You are happy?
- Robert Jordan: Yes. I think everything goes well.
- Maria: So, if there's nothing to do for you, I'll sit by you and watch you, and in the nights we'll make love.
- [smiles]
- Maria: If you're wounded, we won't be captured. I could kill you before I kill myself.
- Robert Jordan: Do you have many ideas like that?
- Maria: I'll never go away from you. I loved you when I first saw you. I've always loved you, but I never saw you before. Now I'm your woman. I'll always be your woman. Always!
- Colonel Duval: Why didn't this get here sooner?
- Captain Gomez: Stupidity, Colonel Duval! Ignorance and stupidity and crazy suspicion!
