Dancaire : Was the colonel's party successful, Carmen?
Carmen García : No, it was very stupid.
Dancaire : Was it successful?
Pablo : We need another 200 duros to get García out of jail.
Carmen García : Let him stay where he is.
Dancaire : Is that a way for a loving wife to feel about her husband?
Carmen García : Let him rot.
Pablo : No money for García? We'll tell him.
Carmen García : [She takes a bag of money out from the inside of her skirt] There, thief. And be welcome to it.
Dancaire : Is that all?
Carmen García : [Pablo pats her skirt] I left the party early.
[She walks towards the stairs, and money fall out of her skirt. She glares at the men and kicks it towards them, and spits at them]

Dancaire : [about José and Carmen getting married] You will be a fine pair, you two. Payo and Gypsy, the tame and the untamed, the dog and wolf. Dog and wolf weren't created to live together. It won't work, Navarrés. You'll see.
-
Dancaire : [to José] You don't like us, do you? We fill you with disgust. We're the symbol of your degradation.
-
Dancaire : Poor little Carmen, such magic as she possess can only destroy her.
-
Dancaire : Two murders on your soul now. For nothing. Why didn't you just ask him for Carmen? He'd have sold her to you.
Don José Lizarabengoa : Sold her?
Dancaire : Yes, gypsies sell their women. He bought her. Married her when she was 12 years old. A typical gypsy marriage.
-
Dancaire : The only really wicked men I've ever known were those who started as idealists. That's what depravity feeds on: delusions, idealism, and love - gone wrong.
-
Dancaire : Dog and wolf. It's beginning just like I said. Dog and wolf.
