( Imitating Don Rodrigo )
''Go away! I want to be alone!''

1:08:10
You seemed very angry.
1:08:13
Well, I'll explain.
1:08:16
The truth is, Gregoria had served me
some terrible coffee.

1:08:21
I apologize, my dears.
I'm getting very sour these days.

1:08:27
But it isn't your fault,
you're innocent of that...

1:08:32
and of everything else.
1:08:35
If you don't like Gregoria's coffee,
we could make it for you.

1:08:39
-Couldn't we, Nelly?
-Yes!

1:08:42
No, no, it isn't just the coffee...
1:08:46
which is cold
and as weak as water...

1:08:49
or the bread
that's as hard as a rock...

1:08:53
or the moldy biscuits.
That won't kill me.

1:08:57
But they've taken away
the fine porcelain cups...

1:09:03
and the dishes
with my coat of arms...

1:09:07
and the silver jug.
1:09:11
Those wretches pick
the dirtiest tablecloths and napkins...

1:09:17
to put on my table...
1:09:19
knowing well
how I like clean table linen.

1:09:24
But listen carefully.
1:09:28
Your mother is in no way
guilty of this...

1:09:34
for even though we aren't...
1:09:37
overly attached...
1:09:40
she isn't unaware that
my person demands certain...

1:09:45
attention and respect...
1:09:48
and she has always
given me that.

1:09:52
Take note of this, children.
1:09:57
Villainy is forgivable.
