Scenes with Florinda

9 scenes
Florinda
[Florinda chats with the mysterious black-clad stranger.]

You know, as the Alcalde's wife, I must play many, many, many roles, but the people only see the part I play in public. Only a few select friends know my private parts.

Florinda
[Florinda, crawling up a ladder into Diego's bedroom, tells him about Zorro's party intrusion.]

He made a complete fool out of Esteban. Ha ha!

Well, with Esteban, there is so much material to work with!

Florinda
[Florinda moans about her miserable life with Esteban.]

Do you realize… that we only make love 12 times a year?

Once a month is not too bad!

Florinda

I mean, 12 times in one night! And then, for the rest of the year — nothing!

Tell me… on that one night… does he eat anything especial? Oysters? Raw eggs?

Florinda

Garlic. A lot of garlic.

Ah!

Florinda

Diego, darling! Why didn't I marry you instead of him?

Perhaps because he asked you and I did not.

[After Esteban skewers the casket in which Florinda is hiding, he leaves. Diego opens the casket to find Florinda, pressed up against one side.]

Florinda, you're not hurt!

Florinda
[She shakes her bosom.]

Thank God for small favors!

[After hatching his masked-ball plan to trap Zorro, Esteban embraces his wife passionately.]

Do you know… that little thing… we do… one night… every year?

Florinda

Yes! Oh, yes!

[Esteban drops her on the floor and walks off.]

We still have three months to go!

Florinda

You fink!

[Diego admires Florinda's necklace.]

It looks like it'll buy the peoples a lot of houses, maybe even some schools and roads.

Florinda

Roads? What do the people need roads for? They never go anywhere.

Florinda
[In the women's restroom, Bunny, dressed as a woman, continues to help/hassle Florinda.]

If you don't stop touching me, I shall have you… destroyed!

[Florinda finally escapes Bunny and complains to her husband.]

Your neck!

Florinda

Did that woman bruise me? She's got hands like an gorilla!

Esteban, Florinda
[She drops her hands to her upper chest, where her necklace isn't.]

Neck! Neck! Neck! Neck!

Florinda

Isn't he marvelous?

Don Fernando

He wears clothes well. I could never get into his pants.

Florinda

I bet I could.
