Quotes 

• Escamillo : Carmencita, if I got it in my head to love you and to be loved by you, what would you say?

  Carmen : I'd say, for the moment, don't even dream of it!

  Escamillo : I shall wait and be content to hope?

  Carmen : Waiting isn't forbidden and hoping can be sweet.

• Escamillo : She did have a lover, she did have a lover, a soldier who some time ago deserted for her. They adored each other, but I think it's over. Carmen's loves never last more than six months.

• Don José : But to run off with our gipsy girls, don't you know there's a price to pay?

  Escamillo : Very well, I'll pay!

  Don José : And that bill has to be settled in knife thrusts!
