:16:01
The trial! On with the trial!
:16:04
Miguel de Cervantes,
I charge you...
:16:06
with being an idealist,
a bad poet...
:16:09
and an honest man.
How plead you?
:16:11
Guilty.
:16:12
Bravo!
:16:14
Your Excellency...
:16:15
ladies and gentlemen,
my defense.
:16:17
But you just pleaded guilty.
:16:19
Had I said innocent,
:16:20
you would surely
have found me guilty.
:16:23
Since I've admitted guilt...
:16:25
the court is obliged
to hear me out.
:16:28
For what purpose?
:16:30
The jury may
choose to be lenient.
:16:36
Clever!
:16:38
He's trying to gain time.
:16:39
Do you have a scarcity of time?
:16:42
Any urgent appointments?
:16:52
It is true I am guilty
of these charges.
:16:58
An idealist!
:17:01
I've never had the courage
to believe in nothing.
:17:05
A bad poet?
:17:09
This comes from a painful ear.
:17:11
Have you finished your defense?
:17:13
No, no, scarcely begun.
:17:16
With your permission,
I will continue...
:17:19
in the manner I know best.
:17:20
In the form of a charade.
:17:22
Charade?
:17:23
An entertainment, if you will.
:17:25
An entertainment?
:17:27
At worst,
it may beguile the time.
:17:30
And since my cast
of characters is large...
:17:34
I call upon you all
to enter in...
:17:36
and play whatever role
may suit your fancy.
:17:40
Governor,
I shall like to protest.
:17:41
No!
:17:46
Let's hear him out.
:17:49
If you've no objection...
:17:50
and with
your kind permission...
:17:52
may I set the stage?
:17:54
Proceed!
:17:59
I will impersonate a man.
