The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) Edit

A boiled egg.

A demon whose brain...

A man of science

A real devil.

A spirit is a spirit.

A thirst for I know not what.

After the initial astonishment had passed,

After what we've been through these past few years.

Air, I need air.

All I can say is: Olé!

All right. Put away your things.

All you smarty pants laughing so hard,

Ana, come here!

Ana, what happened to you?

Ana.

And be good.

And call him.

And changes shadows to light?

And come down out of the clouds.

And see so much loss,

And the black gills.

And then we'll go to the village.

And these wavy edges.

And two reales for children.

And why did they kill him after that?

And you need rest too, Teresa,

Answer when I ask you.

Are there Indians in it?

As much as she does.

At 5:00

Because he doesn't know you.

Because I always do like my grandfather told me.

Because if it's bad and you eat it,

Because the best mushroom grows there... the chanterelle.

Belonged to a criminal!

Besides, I've seen him alive.

Bit by bit she'll begin to forget.

But first you have to promise

But he had one in the movie.

But I would advise you

But sometimes, when I look around me

But speak like this and they call you a madman.

But the older ones are a different story.

But with bad girls, they're very bad.

But you should eat regular meals

But you're always a good girl, aren't you?

But...

By the sign of the holy cross

Careful with that brazier.

Careful, Raquel.

Come and put them on him.

Come here.

Come in.

Come on, get up. Stop playing around.

Come on, let's go.

Dangerous? You surprise me.

Dear...

Did you expect immediate results?

Did you go to the well?

Don Miguel, she's asleep.

Don't touch it.

Even if it meant a full day's hike.

Ever since we parted during the war,

Everything in the movies is fake.

Facing straight into the sun.

Far from a place that tolerates neither sickness nor tombs...

Fernando.

Few films have had greater impact all over the world.

First you get the brush wet.

For breathing.

Four and two is six

Free us from our enemies,

Get back!

Get ready, María.

Give her this medicine. The dose is right here.

Give me a kiss.

Good Lord!

Good morning, Don José.

Grandfather wasn't crazy about eating them.

Has vanished along with all the rest.

Have you never wished to see beyond the clouds and stars?

Haven't you ever wanted to take a chance?

He can eat.

He had arms and feet.

He had everything.

He never got tired.

He only comes out at night.

He's not here anymore. He's gone.

Here.

His bones.

His eyes.

Holy souls, we kneel before you.

How are you?

How do you know they didn't die?

How do you know?

How much you wanna bet?

How's it going, Tomasa?

I can tell you this now: It came from your laboratory.

I don't even know if this letter will reach you.

I don't say that out of nostalgia.

I have things to do, child.

I hope it's good this time.

I often wonder what became of everything we had there.

I only feel thirst,

I pray that God grant me the joy of seeing you again.

I said you were still at school.

I see not but only stare like a blind man

I shall fall where the fallen never rise."

I think she went out a while ago.

I wouldn't care if they called me mad.

I'll check the roof

If anything happens, send Milagros for me. I'll come right away.

If he only comes out at night, how can you talk to him?

If you're his friend,

If you're his friend,

If you're not sure a mushroom's good, don't pick it.

In a place I know near the village.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Is he a ghost?

Is it a cowboy movie?

Is so scant and confusing.

Is that all?

Is there anything to eat in the house?

Isabel, tell me what happened.

Isabel.

It smells so good.

It's a disguise they put on when they go outside.

It's a perfect brain, Doctor.

It's all a trick.

It's as if we didn't exist.

It's bad.

It's coming!

It's Frankenstein!

It's hard to feel nostalgic

It's like a boat.

It's magnificent.

It's one of the strangest stories ever told.

It's tremendous! The best I've ever shown in this town.

It's wonderful.

It's your last mushroom, and your last everything else too.

Just close your eyes

Let me through.

Let's go home. Your father's back.

Let's go.

Let's see, Paulita.

Life and death.

Light bothers her.

Listen to me. It could be dangerous.

Little but the walls are left of the house you once knew.

Look at all the cans of film!

Look at that!

Look closely.

Look what we have here.

Lord our God.

Mama asked about you this afternoon.

Mari Carmen,

Milagros!

Milagros.

Misanthrope."

Never forget, girls: This is the worst of all.

Never to tell your mother.

No, flyswatters are poisonous.

No, he's a spirit.

Nor even the fear of change.

Not now. Tomorrow.

Not to take it too seriously.

Now Don José can see.

Now I shave off the little hairs?

Of the nurse bees over the nests,

Of the nurse bees over the nests,

Okay.

One peseta for adults

Or else Don José will get angry.

Or even horrified.

Or to know what makes trees grow

Papa, have you ever picked a poisonous mushroom?

Papa, here's one.

Papa's coming!

People can't see him.

Play with your kitten.

Please write soon

Plus eight is 24 Plus eight is 32

Poor Don José!

Prepare yourselves.

Put his lungs on.

Put it on him.

Put them on him.

Quickly looked away

Quiet!

Really, Miguel?

Rivers of life, where have you gone?

See that? He understands!

See the house with the well?

See?

She hardly sleeps. She won't eat or speak.

She should eat. Something easy to digest.

She's gone to sleep.

She's under the effect of a powerful experience.

Show them to us.

Silence!

Sit down, Doctor.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Six and two is eight Plus eight is 16

So much destruction and so much sadness,

Someone to whom I recently showed my glass beehive,

Someone who saw the constant agitation of the honeycomb,

Something tells me perhaps our ability to really feel life

Tell me what you were going to tell me.

Teresa.

That's enough! Stop being so boisterous.

That's why you can't kill them.

The brain stolen from my laboratory

The call to sleep always ignored,

The endlessly varied and repetitive labors of the swarm,

The fevered comings and goings,

The final repose of death

The important thing is that your daughter's alive.

The important thing is that your daughter's alive.

The invading spirals of the queen,

The invading spirals...

The lungs.

The most poisonous.

The movie's coming! The movie's coming!

The mysterious, maddened commotion

The mysterious, maddened commotion

The relentless yet ineffectual toil,

THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE

The teeming bridges and stairways of wax,

Then you get it soapy.

There'll be a special showing

There's still something very, very important

They didn't kill him, and he didn't kill the girl.

This evening, in the town hall,

This is the story of Dr. Frankenstein,

This one's for you and this one's for me.

Ticket prices will be

To let me know you're still alive.

To put food in.

Trum... Trumpet!

Try to be patient.

Two and two is four

Undermining the next day's work,

Very good.

Very good.

Very good. Sit down.

Wake up and see reality.

We'd never make it with you two weaklings.

We'll go some other day.

We're getting a late start.

What are you doing here, child?

What are you doing? Get out of here!

What do we breathe with?

What do you see in the darkness that makes you silently tremble?

What eternity is, for example...

What he called "the mushroom garden" is up there.

What he liked was looking for them,

What if we never went beyond the limits of the known?

What is Don José missing?

What is Don José still missing?

What is the stomach for?

What?

What's all this ruckus?

What's the heart for?

What's wrong with you?

Where did you hide the matches?

Where Fernando and the girls and I try to survive.

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where?

Who are you?

Who knows what it's called?

Who left him like that?

Who sought to create a living being,

Whoever eats this hasn't got a chance in the world.

Why did he kill her?

Why did he kill her?

Why did he kill the girl,

Why don't you stay and play with me?

Will you play with me?

With all my love, Teresa.

With an expression of indescribable sadness and horror. "

With good little girls, they're very good,

With its movement like the main gear wheel of a clock...

With its movement like the main gear wheel of a clock...

Without a preliminary word of caution.

Without recognizing that that's something only God can do.

Would you like one of my flowers?

Yes, and then you put on some cologne.

Yes, but spirits don't have bodies.

Yes, Miguel.

Yes, sir, that's a good mushroom.

Yes, sir. I'll go right to the pharmacy.

Yes.

Yet if I could answer just one of these questions...

You boys are gonna fall.

You can talk to him whenever you want.

You can talk to him whenever you want.

You can tell by the brown color

You can't even imagine.

You did, teacher!

You don't know and I do.

You don't know. You're a liar.

You may be shocked,

You must keep a close eye on your creature.

You two understand? I do.

You want to go there?

You're very quiet.

You're young, dazed by your success.

A brittlegill. A flyswatter.

About what? The movie.

Careful, you'll get burnt. Isabel!

Dummy! Pig!

Good bye, Papa. Good bye.

Good morning, Don Fernando. Good morning.

He's here. I'll be right there.

His eyes. Very good.

His heart. Good. Put it on him.

It's good, isn't it? Let's see.

May I, sir? Come in.

Miguel, how is she? Fine. Still a little weak.

No. You know why? Why?

Papa, here's another one. I'm coming.

What's the movie about? The movie?

Will you be long, Papa? No, I'll just fix the wall.

"It's me, Ana."

"It's me, Ana."

"It's me, Ana."

"Now neither malice nor hatred,

"Once upon a time..."

"Someone to whom I recently showed my glass beehive,

"Somewhere on the Castilian plain, around 1940..."

"To... my...
