The Loves of Carmen Quote

Pablo: [They are in the middle of robbing a stagecoach] We have company.
Don José Lizarabengoa: [Carmen comes over and takes a man's watch] What are you doing here? I told you I want you to stay away from this!
Carmen García: I was bored! I won't sit on my haunches and wait for you like the wife of a payo, stirring a pot of stew. I've been my own woman and a Gypsy too long, my friend.
Don José Lizarabengoa: I told you to leave these matters to me. I want no more of this.
Carmen García: You told me you wanted no more. I'm not your slave. I'm Carmen and nobody tells me what to do, I do as I please. If you're ashamed of what I am, find another woman. Get yourself a payo wife! You and your payo honor. I spit on your honor!
Don José Lizarabengoa: [She spits at him] Get back to camp.
Carmen García: I always used to ride with García.
Don José Lizarabengoa: I'm not García.
Carmen García: No, you're not. In many ways, you're not.
