• John T. Chance : [Carlos enters with a large bruise on his face]  Did the girl... what happened to your eye?

  Carlos Robante : You *told* me to put the lady on the stage!

  John T. Chance : Oh, she did that? What'd you do?

  Carlos Robante : Aw, she did not do it.

  John T. Chance : I thought you said she did!

  Carlos Robante : No, I say you tell me to put her on the stage. Consuela, she hit me in the eye!

  John T. Chance : Wait a minute, I'm a little mixed up.

  Carlos Robante : Please, please senor, do not talk, I tell you!

  [Chase agrees] 

  Carlos Robante : It is better I tell you! You told me to put the lady on the stage.

  John T. Chance : Right...

  Carlos Robante : She say she is ready but she don't come down!

  John T. Chance : What...?

  Carlos Robante : I yell at her, come down! She said she ain't coming! I go up and get her, she said she don't go!

  John T. Chance : Well did she go?

  Carlos Robante : Please! I tell her you say go! I tell her I am responsible, she say *no*, *she* is responsible! And I say "that may be"... and I pick her up. Then Consuela say, "what are you doing with that woman?" And I say I take her to the stage! "The woman," she said, "she don't want to go on the stage!

  John T. Chance : Well, did she go on the stage?

  Carlos Robante : Please! Then Consuela tell me, "put her down!" I said "I am responsible!" Consuela, she thinks that means something else! So she give me this eye!

  John T. Chance : What'd you do?

  Carlos Robante : *Do*...? What can I do? My arms is full of the lady! I can do *nothing*, I drop her on the floor! She yells, and she said I tried to kill her!

  John T. Chance : [yelling]  Carlos, did the girl get on the stage?

  Carlos Robante : [yelling]  No, she did not go! But Jake say he couldn't wait!

  John T. Chance : [annoyed]  Why?

  Carlos Robante : He said he must leave!

  John T. Chance : I don't... I mean the *girl*! Did she say why she wasn't going?

  Carlos Robante : *No*... she didn't say! How can I know if she don't say?

  [pleading] 

  Carlos Robante : *Please* senor Chase, you come and tell Consuelo what *responsible* means!

• [after Carlos has a quarrel with Consuelo] 

  John T. Chance : You take chances, my friend.

  Carlos Robante : Because I know woman. If she will be mad or she will be sorry - if it is 'mad', she will be much pleasure to make right; and if she is 'sorry', it will be the same pleasure. You... you do not have women, so you do not know, senor. But me... Carlos Robante... I know!
