EDIT: For some reason, the above llinks to the Word documents don't seem to want to work. If this gets resovled, I will amend the above posting.
EIDT#2: As above, the way to fix it is simply to copy and paste the link into the address bar.
In the meantime, here they are longhand:
===========================================================
CARMEN-DON JOSE
José:I came as soon as I got out - I’ve waited two months to kiss you (He goes to kiss her)
Carmen: Are you angry with me because you were sent to prison?
José: I would go back tomorrow, for you.
Carmen:Because you love me? Some of your friends were here earlier. That new lieutenant couldn’t take his eyes off me.
José: Did you dance for them?
Carmen: Yes. Are you jealous?
José: Yes
Carmen: Then I will dance again. Now. Just for you.
José: Carmen, wait, I have to go. I have to get back for roll call.
Carmen: What! You have to get back? For roll call? And I thought you loved me.
José: I do love you, but….
Carmen:You have to go.
José: I’m sorry
Carmen: You’re sorry! I’m sort too. How could I have been so stupid? One toot on a bugle and he runs away.
José: Carmen, please, don’t mock me.
Carmen: You mock me! (Indicating his sword) Take your toys and go! Hurry now, or you’ll be late (She turns away)
José: Carmen, I don’t want to go. Don’t you understand, I have to.
Carmen:(mockingly) He doesn’t want to go! But he has to!
José: I love you!
Carmen:He loves me. (Invitingly) In that case, don’t go.
José:Carmen, please, I really do have to go. But I do love you, listen to me.
===========================================================
MICAELA-DON JOSE
José: Micaela, what are you doing here? Don’t you know these mountains are dangerous?
Micaela: José, José, I heard everything
José: Then, I’m sorry for you.
Micaela: What about your mother’s letter? (Pause) What about me?
José: Micaela I can’t help myself she’s possessed me (Determinedly) I will have her. I will!
Micaela: But…
José: There are no buts. Please, just go away. Go home and forget you ever knew me (He walks away) Leave me alone.
Micaela: José, wait. (She catches up with him) Please come home. Remember how happy we were before you joined the army? And what about your mother? She really needs you. That’s why I came up here.
José: Micaela, I can’t. I can’t leave now.
Micaela: José, please come home. In time you’ll forget her. You’ll forget everything.
José: You don’t understand.
Micaela: (as he turns to go she speaks quietly) José, your mother is dying.
José: What?
Micaela: She’s been so ill, José. She wants to see you.
José: I must go to her. But I’ll be back, Carmen. I’ll be back.
==========================================================
ESCAMILLO - DON JOSE
José: Don’t move.
Escamillo: (Coolly) I don’t intend to. (He holds up his hat) A few inches lower, my friend, I might never have moved again
José: Who are you?
Escamillo: I am Escamillo. Toreador from Granada.
José: What are you doing here? These mountains are dangerous.
Escamillo: I know, but I can’t help it. You see my friend, I am in love – and what man would not risk his life to find the woman he loves?
José: I don’t understand, what woman?
Escamillo: She is a gipsy, and very beautiful.
José: (almost under his breath) Carmen.
Escamillo: Ah, yes, Carmen. So you know her? I heard she had run off with some soldier who threatened his commander and deserted, but I expect by now it is over. They say Carmen’s lovers don’t last any longer than a bull in the ring with me.
José: They say that, do they? And yet, you have ides of being next in line?
Escamillo: But my friend, don’t men in love often make fools of themselves? Besides I am certain she will find me, Escamillo, more of a man, longer lasting shall we say, that a corporal.
José: You think so? She may find you dead.
Escamillo: As I thought, you are the famous corporal. Ha, I came up here looking for Carmen and find instead, her lover. Although I do not see the lady. Perhaps I was right all along. Her ex-lover – I am delighted to meet you.
José: You won’t be so delighted when your blood is running down that pretty shirt.
