I can't have
anything serious in my life.

:58:03
A man doing what I'm doing
never knows what's going to happen.

:58:07
Whatever happens to you
will happen to me.

:58:12
Haven't you anyone in the Republic?
:58:15
No relatives all?
You must have people somewhere.

:58:19
My father and my mother,
I saw them killed.

:58:26
My father was the mayor of our town
and a Republican.

:58:31
When the Nationalists came, they lined
up the Republicans against the wall.

:58:36
My father cried out very loud,
"Long live the Republic!"

:58:40
And then they shot him.
:58:42
But my mother was not a Republican.
She had no politics.

:58:48
But she loved my father
and she couldn't say that.

:58:51
So she just looked at my father
who lay there at her feet, and said,

:58:58
"Long live my husband
who was the mayor of this town."

:59:05
She said it very loud,
like a shriek,

:59:08
and then they shot and she fell,
and I wanted to got to her,

:59:13
but we were all tied by the wrists
in a long line of girls and women.

:59:18
And I wanted to be shot too
and say, "Long live the Republic

:59:21
and my mother and my father."
:59:27
Instead, there was no more shooting.
:59:31
They herded us up the hill
and through the streets

:59:37
to the square.
:59:42
My father's office
was in the city hall,

:59:49
but they took us
across the street to the barber shop.

:59:54
I want to tell you.
- No. Don’t.
