[ti:The Death of Alonso Quijana]
[00:02.64] DON QUIXOTE
[00:03.90] (courteously, but without recognition.)
[00:06.33] Now then. What is it you want?
[00:09.16] ALDONZA
[00:10.48] Don't you know me?
[00:14.73] DON QUIXOTE
[00:15.59] Should I?
[00:18.22] ALDONZA
[00:18.42] I am Aldonza!
[00:21.86] DON QUIXOTE
[00:25.15] I'm sorry. I do not recall anyone of that name.
[00:26.98] ALDONZA
[00:28.17] Please, my Lord.
[00:30.34] DON QUIXOTE
[00:30.79] Why did you say "my lord"? I am not a lord.
[00:34.08] ALDONZA
[00:34.28] You are my lord, Don Quixote!
[00:37.82] DON QUIXOTE
[00:38.78] Don Quixote? You must forgive me, I have been ill...
[00:57.62] I'm confused by shadows. It is possible I knew you once,
[01:02.07] but I do not remember
[01:04.20] ALDONZA
[01:05.61] Please! Try to remember!
[01:07.58] DON QUIXOTE
[01:09.25] Is it so important?
[01:10.61] ALDONZA
[01:11.62] Everything. My whole life.
[01:14.20] You spoke to me and everything was... different!
[01:18.94] DON QUIXOTE
[01:19.45] I spoke to you?
[01:20.82] ALDONZA
[01:21.02] And you looked at me!
[01:22.74] And you called me by another name!
[01:24.55] Dulcinea (Reprise)
[01:25.36] ALDONZA
[01:25.57] Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
[01:43.71] Once you found a girl
[01:47.15] And called her Dulcinea,
[01:56.03] When you spoke the name
[01:59.52] An angel seemed to whisper...
[02:08.66] Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
[02:26.29] Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
[02:37.71] Won't you please bring back
[02:40.99] The dream of Dulcinea...
[02:48.82] Won't you bring me back
[02:53.37] The bright and shining glory
[03:00.69] Of Dulcinea... Dulcinea...
[03:19.18] DON QUIXOTE
[03:19.94] Then perhaps... it was not a dream...
[03:22.52] ALDONZA
[03:23.53] (kneeling beside Quixote again.)
[03:24.39] You spoke of a dream. And about the Quest!
[03:27.17] DON QUIXOTE
[03:28.18] Quest?
[03:30.18] ALDONZA
[03:30.33] How you must fight and it doesn't matter whether
[03:31.90] you win or lose if only you follow the Quest!
[03:35.85] DON QUIXOTE
[03:36.26] The words. Tell me the words!
[03:37.67] ALDONZA
[03:40.05] "To dream the impossible dream"...
[03:43.33] but they're your own words!
[03:48.58] "To fight the unbeatable foe"...
[03:52.88] Don't you remember?
[03:55.30] "To bear with unbearable sorrow"...
[04:00.81] You must remember!
[04:02.22] "To run where the brave dare not go!"
[04:06.41] DON QUIXOTE
[04:09.55] To right the unrightable wrong.
[04:14.95] ALDONZA
[04:15.35] Yes.
[04:17.37] DON QUIXOTE
[04:18.18] To love, pure and chaste, from afar
[04:22.02] ALDONZA
[04:22.58] Yes.
[04:24.35] DON QUIXOTE
[04:24.95] To try, when your arms are too weary,
[04:30.00] To reach the unreachable star!
[04:37.92] ALDONZA
[04:38.12] Oh Thank you. My Lord!
[04:39.34] DON QUIXOTE
[04:39.89] But this is not seemly, My Lady.
[04:41.61] On thy knees? To me?
[04:43.38] .ALDONZA
[04:43.68] Oh, my Lord, you are not well!
[04:45.20] DON QUIXOTE
[04:45.81] Not well? What is sickness to the body of a knight-errant?
[04:48.53] What matter wounds? For each time he falls he shall rise
[04:53.54] again... and woe to the wicked! Sancho!
[04:58.94] SANCHO
[04:59.15] Here, Your Grace!
[05:01.17] DON QUIXOTE
[05:01.83] My armor! My sword!
[05:05.31] SANCHO
[05:05.51] More misadventures!
[05:05.91] DON QUIXOTE
[05:07.63] Adventures, old friend!
[05:08.69] Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote) (Reprise)
[05:09.95] DON QUIXOTE
[05:10.06] Oh the trumpets of glory
[05:12.13] Now call me to ride,
[05:13.84] Yes, the trumpets are calling to me,
[05:18.95] And wherever I ride,
[05:21.42] Ever staunch at my side
[05:24.15] My squire and my lady shall be!
[05:28.70] I am I, Don Quixote...
[05:31.63] DON QUIXOTE, ALDONZA, SANCHO
[05:32.59] The Lord of la Mancha
[05:34.26] My {Our} destiny calls and I {we} go!
[05:39.01] And the wild winds of fortune Shall carry me {us} onward,
[05:44.42] Oh, whithersoever...
[05:46.44] (Don Quixote falters)
[05:47.61] ALDONZA
[05:48.37] My Lord!
[05:49.07] SANCHO
[05:49.28] Master!
[05:49.48] DON QUIXOTE
[05:50.59] Whithersoever they blow
[05:54.98] Onward to glory... aah!... I... go...
[06:15.12] (crumples to the floor, dead.)
[07:11.66] SANCHO
[07:11.91] He is dead.
[07:13.08] My master is dead.
[07:17.42] ALDONZA
[07:19.60] A man died.
[07:22.83] He seemed a good man, but I did not know him,
[07:28.03] SANCHO
[07:28.54] But...
[07:30.06] ALDONZA
[07:30.31] Don Quixote is not dead. Believe, Sancho, believe.
[07:38.09] SANCHO
[07:40.37] Aldonza...
[07:42.75] ALDONZA
[07:42.95] My name is Dulcinea.
