00:00What is picaresque?
00:24What is a rogue?
00:26We all have approximate answers to these questions,
00:29But very few or none of us would guess what the true life of a rogue was like.
00:34in Spain during the imperial centuries.
00:37Spain of glory and battles, of art and poetry, of religious fervor and fury.
00:44Spain of persecution, of the Inquisition, of vice, of hunger, of misery, and of mischief.
00:53We must be content with supposing, with intuiting, with inventing.
01:00We will thus draw various pictures of picaresque life,
01:04as the geniuses of the time have transmitted it to us,
01:07and let everyone draw their own conclusions.
01:09One might think that this custom of mischief is one of the causes of national decline,
01:15and another, on the contrary, that national decline was the primary cause of picaresque.
01:21Who will say that, fortunately, those vices have been overcome?
01:26And who would think that today there are rogues around every corner?
01:30and at every rung of the social ladder?
01:33One will praise the moralizing background of all these ruffians.
01:39Another will see in this moralizing zeal nothing more than a note of irony.
01:45or the purpose of covering up against official censorship.
01:50This one will save the rogues by his undoubted joy,
01:55for the latent naivety at the bottom of all his deceptions,
01:59for his love of the moment and freedom,
02:02and he will condemn them for being a hindrance to progress
02:05and one of the greatest scourges of society.
02:07We do not intend to judge, which is a sin already pointed out in the gospels,
02:12nor to add disgust to any of your own or someone else's sardine.
02:16We simply try, lacking our own ingenuity,
02:20take refuge in that of those poets of the Golden Age
02:23to provide you with some moments of recreation
02:25and, incidentally, through more or less decent work,
02:30to swell our meager purse somewhat.
02:32Basically, it's just another piece of mischief.
02:35These and no other reasons are what have moved us to tell you
02:39the life and exploits of Lucas Trapaza, a rogue like any other.
02:44Perhaps imitating their Christian majesties,
02:47the rogues embarked on any adventure,
02:50without pausing much to consider what fate awaited their masters,
02:53and the rogue could be found, whether a servant, soldier or vagabond,
02:58in the river Seville, then the emporium of the Indian trade,
03:03in the industrious and rebellious Barcelona,
03:07or much further away, even in Flanders or Germany,
03:11that the map of the empire was soon confused with the map of mischief.
03:15Yes, I know that I haven't given you anything for two days and two nights,
03:20But why do you think I explain these things?
03:22but to see if I can get some money, let's go to the inn and I'll calm you down.
03:26And so, gentlemen, I was saying to you,
03:28that wherever the king's will reached
03:30to establish with distant or close relatives
03:33the dialogue of gunpowder or diplomatic rhetoric,
03:37The rogue and his guts arrived to engage in a dialogue of hunger.
03:41You could have found them and me anywhere.
03:44For example, in Italy.
04:14That a rogue without a master is half a rogue,
04:34serve him in good faith or bad faith or without faith at all,
04:37it is a well-known fact.
04:38Also known by my guts,
04:39that after the loss of the last one they did nothing but lament it.
04:46Shh!
04:47Shut up, damn it.
04:51I said, "Shut up!"
04:54Yes, I know that it was already twelve o'clock in the cathedral.
04:58Calm down, I'll come up with something.
04:59Thank you!
05:00Thank you!
05:30I've never eaten quail like the ones you prepare at your house.
05:35Congratulations, Fabio
05:37A good stew washed down with a large flask of wine, Fabio
06:00Thank you!
06:30Thank you!
06:31Thank you!
06:32Thank you!
06:34Thank you!
06:35Thank you!
06:36Devil's booby!
06:39You rascal! You won't get away from me!
06:44I knew you through cups!
06:46Veal and quail!
06:50Come on, let's see!
06:52Thank you!
06:53Devil's booby!
06:55You rascal! You won't get away from me!
06:57I knew you through cups!
06:59Veal and quail do not match those rags, son of twenty fathers.
07:04Thief! Thief!
07:07If a good master is necessary for a disinherited person like me, a good suit is even more necessary.
07:12Well, if I had one of those two things, would the suspicious innkeeper have hidden behind that barrel?
07:18It doesn't make it mine.
07:29Hey, stop! Stop, Your Grace! Where are you going?
07:33That's what I wonder.
07:35Your Grace is at Cardinal Oria's palace. What have you brought?
07:40A punch next to the eye and a hundred pounds of fear.
07:44Does Your Grace have a father, a master, or are you an adventurer?
07:47Believe me, Your Grace, that if I had not had a father who had helped me come into the world, I would find myself in this predicament now.
07:54And I think that if I had a good master to help me, I wouldn't see myself in them either.
08:02As for the adventurer thing, if you have the patience to listen to me, you'll see.
08:08I was born in Galicia, to a Roman mother.
08:13I come from an old family of noblemen who came to Mexico,
08:17that on the occasion of the transfer of the roculeca to the court, it will be given to me.
08:24I come from an old noble family.
08:26I come from an old noble family.
08:39Well, if only half of what you say is true,
08:42You can play the rogue in the kitchen, we don't have much.
08:45You know, Buesa Mercé, this afternoon they're reselling the second-hand clothes sale.
09:01As your Excellency commands
09:03But the inspector has his eye on me.
09:06Since he sees that I always go out with the jacket, he has become suspicious.
09:09Don't worry, Buesa Mercé
09:11When suspicions arise, it is best to avoid scandal.
09:15We will move you to another job
09:17From now on you are appointed junior sweeper of the lower stairs.
09:20Until something more profitable is found
09:23Whatever the cardinal orders
09:26Forgive me, Buesa Mercé, but with my passion for sweeping, I didn't notice your dignified presence.
09:45I offer my deepest apologies
09:47Don't overdo the explanations, it was nothing serious.
09:51Let's see...
09:53Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
09:56Very good
09:57But very well
09:59Throw away the broom
10:00Throw it away
10:02Now raise your arms
10:05Oh?
10:07So?
10:09Look at me with arrogance
10:10With contempt
10:12But I to Buesa Mercé
10:14Why would I...?
10:15Look at me with contempt
10:17Can I see?
10:23Perfect
10:25Excellent, sublime
10:29Can I download them?
10:30No, your grace should shout first.
10:33Death to the Moors!
10:36Let the Moors die?
10:37No, higher, much higher
10:40Death to the Moors!
10:44Gorgeous
10:45His Eminence will burst into applause
10:49Is Your Grace a man of reading?
10:52Half a pound of raisins and two oranges a day
10:54That?
10:55That with half a pound of raisins and two oranges
10:58I can read and remember
10:59Well here is the script for The King of Lion
11:02Your Grace studies it
11:03For the representation with which they are commemorated
11:06The years of his eminence to the cardinal
11:08I have a poor memory
11:10And if they don't give me the raisins and oranges on time
11:13With Your Grace's permission
11:14I can't remember anything
11:15Well, if Your Grace says so
11:17To swallow raisins and scrub ourselves
11:20With orange peels on the forehead
11:22At night in the kitchens we began rehearsals.
11:24And now Mr. Lucas
11:26Climb the tree
11:28If you read the same to Your Grace
11:31I climb on the pile
11:34Oh, I feel dizzy.
11:40With the height
11:41Raisins
11:42You've heard it before.
11:43Give him the raisins
11:45Where are the baptized Moors?
12:01It's true
12:04Where are they?
12:06Approach the forest
12:07Now Your Graces
12:09They declaim
12:10Oh, great king of the Christians!
12:14Oh, great king of the Christians!
12:17I say my thing
12:18Shh!
12:19Yeah
12:20Of the Christians, the king is the one who dictates the law to you.
12:25I say my thing
12:26Shh!
12:27The law that must protect you
12:30The law is in your hands
12:33It's time to walk
12:34Very good
12:36Very good
12:37Now Mr. Lucas comes down from the tree.
12:40And he lets himself be led by the false Moors
12:45Walking very slowly
12:50So
12:51So
12:53So
12:54So
12:55So
12:56So
13:03So
13:33Come on!
14:03...and brocade sleeves, which was the same as giving me wings so I could fly and go in search of new air.
14:33We ask such a noble audience to be patient if we disturb their attention with the performance,
14:58In honor of his eminence, from the famous comedy of Victorious Castile and Moors in Rebellion,
15:08fruit of my poetry that does not want to be tedious.
15:12And after this entrance, since impatience besieges you and praise is exterminated,
15:20With your obligatory permission we begin the comedy.
15:25Where is Your Grace going through that door?
15:31I was looking for the script. I don't remember my first line.
15:34What don't you remember?
15:36Take rates!
15:38Come on! You have to come out now! Come on!
15:47I'm tired! I'm tired!
15:49I am weary, my faithful ones! Let me rest in this leafy tree!
15:59Come on, to the horses!
16:00Oh, great king of the Christians!
16:06Yes, king of the Christians!
16:09It's what the law dictates to you!
16:12The law that must protect you!
16:14The law is in your hands!
16:17Make room, I'm going to change my clothes!
16:19Make room, I'm going to change my clothes!
16:50Not for fear of the Moors, but for fear of being stripped of my precious garment!
16:54And there, in the cardinal's palace, my former master, the prompter cook, repeated...
17:00It's time to walk!
17:04I must announce to your evidence with great regret and stupor
17:07that the king of the Christians has disappeared
17:11and with it, the sumptuous embroidered velvet court suit
17:15with gold lace and buttons of the same
17:18whose rent I have paid, subtracting it from my meager stipend.
17:23You have done very well to flee from the enemies of the faith
17:25and not allow him to be taken prisoner.
17:28I'll pay for the suit.
17:30And now, your grace, prepare to read me the rest of the comedy.
17:34And how did your eminence order?
17:43Here, here.
17:49Moor first, the law that must protect you,
17:52the law that is in your hands,
17:55King, is it time to walk?
17:57Don García, our king, where is he?
18:00And my cousin Eula-Lique, under the bird with what was left.
18:03Don Garcia, what an idea strikes me.
18:06Don, but be quiet.
18:07Let us return to the colts
18:09and let's go to court
18:10to bear the new ingratitude of his disappearance.
18:14And leveling stairs and walking streets,
18:17I left the city
18:18and I embarked on the galleys of the Grand Duke of Tuscany
18:21who were leaving for Mexico.
18:24Nothing can honor me more than saluting a brave captain.
18:27and request from His Excellency any work.
18:33I won't hide from you that I've always dreamed of having a noble page.
18:42Did you make any wrong moves?
18:45Are you of noble birth?
18:47Maybe.
18:49Yeah, yeah.
18:50I'm not very given to snooping into other people's lives.
18:53Have you ever held any office?
18:55Silver boy, bailiff, pilgrim, peddler,
19:00liquor seller, bricklayer's laborer,
19:03rope boy, goat herder,
19:05good, good.
19:06Water carrier, dealer,
19:08And it might not have been...
19:09Praying couplets,
19:10matchmaker, tripe maker, jester, pot-lucker and street sweeper?
19:15As a defender of the Order of Saint Stephen,
19:18terror of the Turks and dread of their borders,
19:20I name you my marmiton.
19:23And I proudly accept
19:24and I promise your Excellency
19:26as long as I don't miss a good sip of wine
19:28and malvasia to combat dizziness,
19:31a server will always have for his excellence
19:33the most seasoned pots
19:34and the most exquisite stews.
19:36Does your grace have relatives?
19:38or acquaintances in this city?
19:39I am as lonely as an asparagus from the time of Adam,
19:42I don't use relatives.
19:42Well, with me you will scrap Tutiplén.
19:45Forgive me, Your Excellency,
19:47but I don't understand what you mean by scrapping.
19:49Well, live a good life,
19:50to relax, to indulge...
19:52Whatever your Excellency commands.
20:12What's happening?
20:25What's happening?
20:27What's happening?
20:28Thank you!
20:58My captain!
21:17My captain!
21:22I was dizzy for three days
21:24so much so that at the pace that gave sustenance to the fish
21:27saved rations of cake for the scoundrels of Galera
21:30I encouraged myself as best I could
21:31with lively sips of wine
21:33and sips of Malvasia
21:45Take these ten pesos, you cheat.
21:47Jump ashore and buy fresh meat
21:52Whatever your Excellency commands
21:54It has already been replaced
22:04at the mercy of dizziness
22:05He also goes to the village
22:08for a ram
22:09No, I won't go all the way to the village.
22:12It's more cost-effective for me to buy it at the port.
22:14for being closer to the boat
22:16Go look for him there
22:18to return when not loaded or pregnant
22:21with the dizziness I'm dragging
22:22I couldn't stand it
22:24Well, know that the villains of the port
22:26They are all ruffians
22:27who cheat and steal since God is God
22:30That's not enough time for studies.
22:32to deceive Lucas, a trickster
22:34So good shopping in the village
22:36that I'm staying in the port
22:38Bye bye!
22:40Apples!
22:42Apples!
22:44Apples!
22:46Apples!
22:50Apples!
22:52Apples!
22:54What do you want me to do with a quail skeleton?
23:10What do you want me to do with a quail skeleton?
23:24Good morning, your grace.
23:32I wish you the same.
23:34How much are you asking for the animal?
23:35A piece of ten.
23:37Forgive me, your grace, for not having a very keen ear.
23:41Six at a time, he said.
23:42Don't come to me, your grace, with the deaf man's comedy, I've seen that before.
23:48Ten!
23:50Seven by seven.
23:52Nine at a time and let's not talk about it anymore.
23:55Since the money isn't mine, I'll give you one of eight and that's a done deal.
24:01Well, because your grace catches me at a bad time.
24:05If not...
24:07Ah!
24:07Ah!
24:08Ah!
24:39Where is the ram?
24:42He walks through the thicket.
24:45Then give me back what I paid.
24:47What's sold is sold.
24:49And what is lost, is lost.
24:51And if not, you should have been more careful in the asylum in time...
24:55...and put it in a safe place.
24:58Ah! What are you trying to deceive me with?
25:00Taste, they're killing me! Help, they're robbing me!
25:03Help, they're robbing me, help!
25:08Ah!
25:10Leave him alone! Leave him alone now!
25:12But I made you!
25:14What do you expect, good man?
25:16Help me, good people, for this armed scoundrel...
25:18...he wants to steal my meager fortune.
25:20And since I resist, he tries to kill me...
25:22...so I can then strip myself, without any fear...
25:24...to what I can answer, I have already made a fiampe.
25:35No, not the gamer!
25:37Please, let me have your underwear!
25:39At least the underwear!
25:41Please, let me have your underwear!
25:43Ha ha ha!
25:47Char we censor and underwear!
25:51Lamb, lamb, lamb!
26:05Bravo and tender little lamb!
26:10Come on now!
26:15You're nothing but a fat, fattened donkey dung!
26:21Thank goodness I have a master now!
26:24He will help me!
26:26And he'll send you all to the galleys!
26:30Scoundrels!
26:31Scoundrels!
26:33Sons of bitches!
26:35Hey, port!
26:48Do you know where my manviton is?
26:49He was walking along the pier.
26:51He didn't want to come to the village because he felt dizzy.
26:53My master, my master, help me, my master.
27:09Avenge me, Your Excellency, from the highwaymen.
27:12Where is my fresh meat?
27:15Stop whining, you man of Satan!
27:17Where is what was bought?
27:19What was bought is lost.
27:22But please, Your Excellency, listen to me for three words.
27:25Do you think you're cheating on me because I took it back from you?
27:28Oh!
27:29Knave!
27:30Ruffian!
27:31And your luxurious suit!
27:32His owner found him, right?
27:34And I'll tear it out of you with handfuls and burrs!
27:36Scoundrel!
27:39Son of a bitch!
27:40Thief!
27:44Long!
27:46Get out of my sight or I'll have you arrested!
27:48And I found myself again battered, without clothes and without a master, as befits every lover,
28:02by force, of roads and of freedom.
28:06But I lengthened my stride and resurrected hope.
