El Capitan, Act II: “Comrades, I am honored”

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Comrades, I am honored. Furthermore, I feel myself entitled to the honor of your adulation. Sentry! Bring out the prisoner. He needs to be exercised. Bring the prisoner here!

[POZZO is led out.]

So, Don Medigua, I trust your cell is comfortable. 

[Aside.]
What's the problem, Pozzo? You seem nervous!

[POZZO, spoken]
Your Excellency!

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Hush! No nicknames!

[Aside.]
What seems to be the trouble?

[POZZO, spoken]
I don't know. I don't feel safe!

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
I'm taking all the chances here, Pozzo. You always were a selfish wretch!

[POZZO, spoken]
Oh, I fully appreciate everything you've done for me. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Look, I'll be with you in the stretch. I mean, near you at the finish. 

[Aloud.]
Oh, take him away. Take him away! Vaya con Dios

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Capitan!

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Eh? Going to a... wedding, dear?

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Ours!

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Ours? Impossible!

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Papa has commanded me to wed you and... I am a dutiful daughter. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken, aside]
Trapped by the concept of filial responsibility!
