:35:00
...this can't be permitted.
This simply will not be!"
:35:05
He said: "No, I'm leaving now".
:35:09
I told him, I had a rifle and by the
time he'd reach the next bend...
:35:17
...there'd be 8 bullets in his head
and the ninth one would be mine.
:35:22
He instinctively knew that this
wasn't a joke anymore.
:35:27
He screamed for the
police like a madman.
:35:31
However, the next police station
was at least 300 miles away.
:35:37
The press later wrote that I directed
him from behind the camera...
:35:41
...with a loaded rifle.
:35:44
Of course, this wasn't true...
:35:46
...but he was very disciplined during
the last days of shooting.
:35:51
The beast had been
domesticated after all...
:35:54
...and pressed into shape, so that
his true madness and energy...
:36:00
...were contained within the
frame of a screen image.
:36:04
I thank his cowardice
and his instincts...
:36:08
...for a magnificent ending
of "Aguirre".
:36:17
When we reach the sea,
we'll build a bigger boat and...
:36:23
...with it we'll sail north and take
Trinidad away from the spanish Crown.
:36:35
From there we'll go on and
take Mexico from Cortez.
:36:42
What a great betrayal that will be!
:36:46
We will then control all
of New spain...
:36:50
...and we will stage history...
:36:54
...as others stage plays.
