Don Juan:
My dear friend, there's a little bit of Don Juan in every man, and since I am Don Juan, there must be more of it in me!
|
|
Don Juan:
The sword is not for a traitor. You'll die by the knife!
|
|
Don Juan:
Catherine, an artist may paint a thousand canvases before achieving one work of art. Would you deny a lover the same practice?
|
|
Catherine:
But you've made love to so many women.
Don Juan:
Catherine, an artist may paint a thousand canvasses before achieving a work of art, would you deny a lover the same practice?
|
|
Don Juan:
Beloved, no power on Earth could've kept me from you. In all the world there's been but one image in my heart, one vision before my eyes...
Catherine:
Yes, yes, go on...
Don Juan:
I have loved you since the beginning of time.
Catherine:
But you only met me yesterday...
Don Juan:
Why, that was when time began!
|
|
Catherine:
But how long will you love me?
Don Juan:
Sweet lady, love is not measured in terms of time, only in ecstasy!
|
|
Duke de Lorca:
May I remind you, my dear fellow, that in a conflict one must choose a side. The middle ground is frequently the most dangerous.
Don Juan:
I've been in the middle so many times, your grace... it doesn't disturb me.
|
|
Don Juan:
A man gives up everything: a rich full life and the first time he tries to be utterly sincere, what happens?
Leporello:
That's exactly what I'm trying to find out.
Don Juan:
Well, mind your own business!
|
|
King Phillip III:
We consider Don Lorca the greatest living duelist in Spain.
Don Juan:
That's certainly the mark of a good duelist, you majesty - to be living.

[Don de Cordoba has just discovered the famous Don Juan romancing his bride-to-be, Lady Diana. He draws his sword]
Don de Cordoba:
You're a disgrace to Spain. And as a loyal Spaniard, I shall wipe out this disgrace!
Lady Diana:
Oh, stop being so... so *Spanish!*
|
|
Don Juan:
Like most other men there has always been an imaginary woman in my life. I endow her with all the virtues, I clothe her in perfection. Naturally I search for her in vain. I thought she could never exist except in my mind. Now I find out she does.
|
|
Duke de Lorca:
You can see we have several interesting devices in this chamber. They have the tendency to break a man's will. If the first one fails, we try another until we find exactly the right one to loosen the tongue.
Count de Polan:
I've heard of men whose tongues have withstood it.
Duke de Lorca:
Yes, but they now speak with the tongues of angels.
|
|
Don Juan:
It seems to me Your Grace is preparing for war.
Duke de Lorca:
Does the idea frighten you?
Don Juan:
Ftrankly it does. I'm by nature a peaceful man, Your Grace. It's true I've done some fighting in my time, but it's usually been for something worthwhile like, uh, a beautiful woman. To risk your skin for a piece of extra ground - that is terrifying!

Queen Margaret:
The palace has large keyholes. My informer has small ears.
|
|
Count D'Orsini:
[finding Don Juan with his fiancee] You'll not get away so easily, senor. You're caught!
Don Juan:
[sardonically] The story of my life!
|
|
King Phillip III:
This is treason!
Queen Margaret:
You will never succeed. The people will rise against you!
Duke de Lorca:
Shepherds may change, but sheep remain sheep.
|
|
Duke de Lorca:
[preparing to fight Don Juan] I warned you, senor! This time I shall cut deeply!
Don Juan:
[unintimidated] This time I'm wearing my old clothes!
