THE GOLDEN COCKEREL

Big, sorrel colored horse,

master less,

with an S branded on the rump,

lost from Don Secundino
Colmenaro's corral,

And whose corral did Don
Secundino steal it from?

The world's full of thieves,
count and see.

Chestnut-sorrel horse,
5 years old, false rein,

20 pesos reward and no
questions asked.

Is your fever gone, mother?

The fair has already begun.

If you're feeling well,

this afternoon I'll take
you to see the clowns.

These beans are good, mother.

Know what? I'll have a
lot to do at the fair.

I'm going to call out the games.

The bull felling, the cock fights,

and all church festivities
during the novenary.

At least we'll be
able to eat well.

Didn't you hear me, mother?

Mother?

Mother?

That one.

I'll pay you Don Perfecto
as soon as I get lucky.

Ten years working as a
town crier won't pay this.

Go see Chon the carpenter
and ask him for 4 boards.

No... if I can't bury
her in the very best,

any sleeping mat will do.

Hey, Bleached,

Show me the golden one,
son of Pelona and Virrey.

Bleached ones can't look
straight at the sun.

Try your luck with
this blonde one.

Very well Don Cundo,
my cockerel will fight.

Yaqui, the Virgin doesn't
like betting and fighting.

Silence, gentlemen.

San Pedro de la
Pasion against Puebla.

A friendly fight!

- A free fight. - Free,

the bet's 1000,
no confrontation.

It's Gods will, let them fight.

Get out, everybody.

Ready, go to the line
and get out again.

Everybody listen, San
Pedro de la Pasion wins.

Puebla loses and everybody's happy.

He won, Don Cundo,
but just barely.

You're right and what's
worse, I'm still in doubt.

Am I raising roosters
for the hen-yard?

This one is badly
injured Yaqui.

We'd better put an
end to his suffering.

No!

Golden cockerel... lame.

Saved from Don Secundino
Colmenero's yard.

I feel you can fight well
even if you look dead now.

Don't go to sleep, my
rooster. Don't you sleep.

Look kindly upon life.

Stay well awake,
get up my friend.

With that look they won't
let you go near the fair.

Get dizzy, my rooster,
but don't go to sleep.

You're not mortally
wounded, just scratch.

Mind your skin and stretch it,
so that you'll be fierce again.

Get well, you coward,
rooster from the sacristy.

Get well, cowards like
you don't fill mausoleums.

You're just a sleeping
and coward rooster.

Get well so I can send
you to crow with the hens.

Poor featherless rooster.

If you don't want to live,
I'm tired of eating badly.

I'm leaving you alone
you silly rooster.

Tonight, in San Pedro
de la Pasion, near,

the deep field, a Spanish
gentlemen was killed.

The widow, Mrs. Cenobia Morales,

will reward with 500 pesos.

The gentleman or
lady or anybody else,

that knows where the
criminal murderer is,

500 pesos for the man
or woman or whoever else,

that knows where the
criminal murder is,

- Was he badly hurt?
- They took his guts out.

For being mean and
misery to the poor,

and the hungry.

BIG COOK FIGHTS

Courage, my cockerel,
you're already better.

I can feel you're stronger.

Enough to make the
best better rich.

You're breathing in and
out the air of revival.

Silence, gentlemen!

My golden cockerel
has just hatched,

and none will be better
than him in San Juan.

Let's see where we
can rest my friend.

There must be many crooks here.

- Excuse, sir.
- There's room for us all.

Bring one out.

Hey, what's up?

Put it away now.

- Is it yours? - Yes.

How much do you want for it?

My rooster is priceless
and you can't pay for it.

Let's see, what's
so special about it?

Just look.

But the rooster's lame.

Even so, it'll find
a patron. He's good.

My name's Coyotito and
my friend's is Coyote.

He can help you
get him in a fight.

You need help, it's not
easy to get into a fight.

I only know what
my rooster is worth.

That's useless unless
you know the right people.

My friend would
help you that's sure.

But to back up unknown
roosters he won't pay,

doesn't matter if
it wins or loses.

Think about it and
decide tomorrow,

if you say no, you'll
never get anywhere.

Cockfighting is like
that it's all or nothing.

All or nothing...

You wait here.

Listen, Coyote, shall
we start with this one?

Not a lame one!
Nobody will bet on him.

That's just it, if he
wins we win a lot too.

With luck even Don
Lorenzo will fall for it.

Bring him over
to try him out.

Give him to me, he's
my rooster, I'll do this.

- Let's see how he fights.
- Does he have a claw set?

- Yes. - Put them on.

Let me pass, my family,

I'm a hen with more
feathers than a rooster!

Stop cackling so much and
lay an egg in this nest.

I'll lay a golden one to
see if you can bite it.

Why don't you sing Caponera?

Watch the scales or you
won't know why you lost.

Silence... silence.

There's a stranger passing through.

His rooster weighs 2 Kg.

It's the Golden Cockerel
of San Pedro de la Pasion.

With 200 or 300
pesos, a black flag,

No protector, gets on
well with all, let's start.

I'll take the fight with
300 pesos and 500 more.

Wait, this one will do
it with 300 and 1000 more.

Here are 1000 and 500 more.

Up to 3000 with
my rooster Bulike.

Think whatever you want
I'm backing this rooster.

Let's see if I have more
guts than all of you.

Silence gentlemen, we have a fight.

Don Lorenzo Benavides'
rooster Bulike,

and the golden cockerel
of San Pedro de la Pasion.

It's all right, the fight is fair.

Let the roosters loose!

Silence, close the door.

The brokers may take the bets.

- 500 to Bulike...
- 10,000 for Bulike.

I offer this fight to St.
Peter, be it as God wills.

Why those nerves? Didn't
you know what it's like?

Only as town crier,
and this is not the same.

- Another 500 hundred here.
- 300 for Bulike.

- There are 500 more.
- A Bulike.

Haw much do you want sir?
500? For the lame one.

- How much? - 3,000 more.

Do you have more
money Caponera?

And more pants
than you too, fool.

200, for the golden
rooster, come on, bet.

200, 200 to 100

You bunch of cowards,
nothing's free.

- 500 -Done.

Order! Brokers outside.

Confront your roosters.

Let them go.

Come on, La Caponera
is betting on you.

Shake him off, even if he
pulls your feathers out.

Come on, my golden one.

I won.

What's your decision, judge?

Bulike lost gentlemen,
The Golden Cockerel won.

How nice God looks
dressed up like a Mexican.

This cockerel...

After what he won for us
deserves more than rice.

Come,

come, nothing's
going to happen to you.

Never heard of Lorenzo Benavides?

Well, that's me, another fight,

with this rooster and
you won't go hungry again.

What a debut, he fought
well and is famous now.

Don't choke, if you're
not used to eating much,

too much food can harm you.

Sit down and eat with us.

Go on, sit down.

I know you went
for all or nothing.

But don't worry, I play fair.

Here, this is
yours. You won it.

It's not charity,
it's justice, take it.

It's for the rooster that
helped us win so much.

Thank you for believing
in my rooster sir.

How much do you want
for your cockerel?

I don't know, madam.
He's not for sale.

But I'm grateful for the
luck your song brought us.

I'll give you 500
pesos for that rooster.

Your famous rooster made
bits of Don Lorenzo's.

But even so, we forgive you.

But you bet on my rooster.

One more that got
away on you Herod.

Don't be innocent, don't
you know any tricks?

Everything is allowed
at cockfighting.

I'll give you 1,000 pesos
and 2 roosters like yours.

Thank you for everything
but I don't like the deal.

- One more.
- Sell it.

While you still can, and
let yourself be helped,

those born in flowers
pots will never be runners.

Cockfighter.

He would look better in a
pan than in one of those.

You have a long face.

He can't fight here again.
Everybody knows him now.

I'm not doing any
more cockfighting here.

I'm leaving for
Tlaquepaque tonight.

We'll see each other
there, let's see,

if that rooster can
win over mine there.

Let's go!

Trust me, my cockerel.

Whenever she sings
we'll win, don't worry.

Silence gentlemen,
we have a fight.

Don Lorenzo's white
tail rooster against,

the Golden Cockerel from
San Pedro de la Pasion.

Silence, close the doors.

The brokers may take the bets.

Get out, brokers.

Confront the roosters.

Ready.

- I won. - Do you agree?

- I lost. - He lost, you won.

Another one.

See what you can do, we
don't know if he is dumb.

I'll tell you if he
is pretending or not.

Here's your part,
sit down and celebrate.

Thank you, but never drink.

Your rooster was great,
now we'll go to the Real.

"We" are going?
We're too many.

Don't be sad any
longer that I'm here.

Listen to my advice,
you need our protection.

How long will the pesos
we won last you alone?

I'm all right just as I
am so I'll stay like that.

Good luck doesn't ride a donkey.

That's why I don't
go around with you.

Stop there, cockfighter.

This time I was wrong,
your rooster beat mine.

Another one, you already
killed two of mine.

What did you do for a
living in your village?

I lived.

Yes, just barely.

I know how to judge
someone just by a glance.

And I can see you're like me,

you like cockfighting
because it's easy.

You may be right, but
what's all this for?

When your rooster dies,
you'll have to go back.

But if we're partners we
can get far together.

Look at me, I'm rich
thank to cockfighting.

No, the truth is...

He won die if whoever
gives him luck is near.

You're mystical aren't you?

But I cut the saints' wing off,

at the cockfights
Lorenzo Benavides is God.

What did you think, fool?

That you could get rich
and famous at my expense?

Well you're wrong,
so you'd better choose.

Either you become my partner
or you get no more bets.

You'll end up in run-down
fairs with your rooster.

That is if don't wring
his neck for him before.

Or kill him with a dart,
don't get in my way.

Another one.

Look... His rooster is still alive.

He must be going to
Aguas Calientes.

He's stubborn, he
will see the devil yet.

Leave him alone. What would
you do in his place?

Instead of going to Aguas Calientes...

I'd get off in Santa Gertrudis,

and I'd win Esculapio
Virgin's best rooster.

What will you give me if
I get you that rooster?

You name it my Caponera.

When the storm is good
even the trunk blossom.

It's me, look at me well.

How many more times
have you won with him?

The truth is he hasn't
fought since Tlaquepaque.

- Why?
- I was traveling around.

But really I didn't
want to let him fight,

unless you were
there to give him luck.

I thought I would find
you at Aguas Calientes.

Don't be silly, with or
without me he's pure gold.

But, if you want to be lucky always,

why don't you accept Don
Lorenzo Benavides' deal?

Don't you want to have money?

Isn't there something
you want out of life?

Yes, I didn't bury
my mother properly,

and I need a good coffin.

I bought these mourning
clothes with what I won.

Don't you wish
for anything else?

Yes, but...

you can't always
get what you want.

Who knows, tell me how
you got this rooster?

Did you work hard to have
him ready for the fight?

Nothing is impossible,
but things cost,

and love changes, who knows...

La Caponera does what she
wants with her love life.

So... choose.

Or you become a partner
of Lorenzo Benavides,

and hope to win all
his rights and benefits,

or you stay as you are
and never see me again.

You decide.

Poor animal.

He'll die of cold here,
and won't even get water.

The Golden Cocker will
sleep with me tonight.

Good evening, partner.

What's done is done,
another one.

We're partners,
and you won't be sorry.

But first we must talk to
avoid misunderstandings.

First, the rooster is still mine.

And how much will I win?

The rooster is yours
and 1/3 of the profits.

And remember, if you
have a good protector...

You'll see this when we
win at Santa Gertrudis.

WELCOME TO SANTA GERTRUDIS

We were not expecting
you any longer Lorenzo.

As you know, my
sister dona Reglita,

lives for her omens and forebodings.

And for a week she has
dreamt that this year,

you were not coming.

Lorenzo Benavides will
never fail you Esculapio.

One more thing.

Your dreams Miss, only incite me.

When you turn up in them,
I call them nightmares.

The family has grown, how
many do you have now?

This year I have four new ones.

And 9 more make 13,
that's a lucky number.

My hen are good layers.

I see you finally made
it with La Caponera.

Your stubbornness makes
up for your lack of luck.

One thing for another.

- Are those your horses?
- Yes sir.

Let me tell you, they'll
eat dust from mine.

And... did you bring
any roosters?

Let it go to see how it struts.

You're like Galvans calendar,

promising storms
where it only drizzles.

You're going to fight
my special cock with that?

As I said before,
you are stubborn.

Each year you put
together a fortune,

to come and lose it
at Santa Gertrudis.

You never learn, but
that's your problem.

I have horses for your horses.

And for that sad rooster,

I have 2 or 3 hens
that will tear him up.

Don't count your eggs
before they're hatched.

He sure knows how to fight.

Stop, so we can measure the time.

- Start.
- Make him win.

Another one, I still have
2 fresh horses to race.

No, I'm out of luck
today with the horses.

But tonight after dinner,
I'll have my compensation.

- Agreed?
- Agreed.

It's you turn to deal.

New cards.

I'll bet on the horse,

Better said, for de ace,
horses are unlucky for me.

All right.

You did well Lorenzo,
and very well.

You're taking a fortune
with you, a real fortune.

All I've got left
is what I'm wearing.

And I won't bet you my sister,

because she's a
virgin and a saint.

- Let's do a return match.
- Against what?

Lets say... against this ranch.

That's your big
dream, isn't it?

Well, yes. I bet
Santa Gertrudis ranch.

But I'll put it up
to the roosters.

All right.

- See you early tomorrow.
- Not tomorrow... now.

Your lame rooster
against my special one.

It's a deal.

It's over, we're leaving.

You're not leaving at
this hour, what's more...

you can stay here as long
as you want as my guest.

Thank you, but I won't be
a guest in my own house.

Dead people and guests
stink after 3 days.

Pack whatever you have to.

- Shall I wake everybody?
- Don't bother anybody.

The women and the
children will go tomorrow.

If Don Lorenzo allows it.

Please Esculapio,
do as you want.

That's all. And to
legalize this property,

I'll give you the
documents right now.

Now it really deserves
its golden blades.

- Thanks to you, madam.
- Don't call me madam.

Aren't we already
old friends by now?

Who's happy just looking
won't try anything else.

Call me Bernarda, it's
the least you can do.

Boys... there you are.

Come on in, cockfighter
you're at home.

Excuse me, Don Lorenzo,
but my rooster must sleep.

It's all right.

But you must have a
drink with us to celebrate.

Thank you, but I never drink.

A man without vices
can't be trusted.

Come here, we must change
that, don't you think so?

For the golden cockerel
who gave us our dreams.

This is your advance
payment of the profits.

Tomorrow you can tell
me if you want the rest,

or if you staying
on as a partner.

We'll see about that tomorrow.

We'd better let him
rest, he deserves it.

I was tired of the
cockfighting rinks.

I know an easier way
to win a lot of money.

And the best of all, you
can do it sitting down.

Another thing, learn
how to play cards.

Here you can take it easy
and learn how to play.

This is life! It's good
to leave cockfighting.

To make this more interesting...

Why don't you bet
your San Luis home?

Deal.

What time is it?

- Around three.
- Of what day?

- I think Tuesday.
- Let it run, Don Lorenzo.

Bernarda...

Bernarda!

If you're tired we
can continue tomorrow.

Good night.

- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.

- Excuse me. - Go ahead.

Leave that rooster alone.

You have enough money
not to have to do that.

He's putting on
weight closed in here.

Just like you, forget it.

Here we're all going to
get fat like Esculapio.

Come on, let him be.

He has to do his
exercises to get better.

What he needs is a hen.

No cockfighting rooster
can go with a hen.

You too, cockfighter?

Please don't say
things like that.

Didn't tell you not
to lose your hopes?

La Caponera keep her promises.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Did you sleep well?
- Not as well as you.

I have fresh cards, you decide.

We'll be right over, Don Lorenzo.

Go order breakfast, our
guests are already awake.

Your signatures are good.

- Let's continue tomorrow.
- All right.

I'll be waiting here
for the return match.

That's how I like to
see you like a queen.

A golden cage is still a jail.

But this jailer is your king.

You'll be my king when
you get me out of here.

Let me win everything
off those fools.

Then, the world will
be small for you.

The parrot told the bluebird,

let's go home.
What are we doing here?

Come outside, our guests
arrived. Don't be sad.

I'm not sad, only bored
which is not the same.

I'm dying here, far from
the sun and the light,

breathing in smoke
and men's smell,

I want the world for my home.

A tree without roots doesn't grow.

Someone else must have
taken your place already.

Come, they're waiting for us.

Yes, coming.

Who would have said I'd
be stuck with a gambler.

When you wanted to
die in the cockfights.

To the King.

Sorry gentlemen. I try
to lose, but I can't.

- Your day will come.
- Never.

While I have near me
my good luck talisman.

Now you sound just like
the golden cockerel owner.

That ran away on
you all the same.

Some cards.

7, king Sword or cups?

To the 7

Deal.

3 of swords, you lose.

Let's go before
they clean us out.

- How much for the bird?
- He's not on sale.

Let me take him to
the fights tomorrow.

I know him, I have
already won with him.

No, thank you, but he's
not going to fight again.

I'm already fed up of being here.

That's what I had lost.

- Luck changed for us.
- You're right.

The bill for my house
and 150,000 pesos.

If Don Lorenzo doesn't come out,

I'll leave it like that,
I got most of it back.

- This is your home.
- But it has walls.

Stay put, you know we'll never part.

- That's the agreement.
- Yes I know I'm tired down.

But that doesn't mean
I can go without sleep.

Like singer's mothers,
at the wrong place.

Your place is here, with me,

or do you prefer that
miserable cockfighter?

Maybe, at least I'd
live the way I want.

And if we keep on like
this, I'll go with him.

I'm not going to lose
any more, go back inside.

I'm not going to lose
for your fault, witch.

What's more, you are
coming back with me.

Will you serve me a drink?

Yes, my queen.

Fix your face up and
follow me back inside.

I don't have any cash
left, only these deeds.

- Are they good enough?
- Not for me, Lorenzo.

I haven't come only for that.

Yes, I know that.

You've come for the
Santa Gertrudis ranch.

But, with the gentlemen's leave.

That's between you and me.

Excuse me a minute please.

I'm sorry Lorenzo, there
are enough onlookers.

You're not leaving
the room, Don Lorenzo.

You know the rules of
the house, return match.

Done. To get it over with
quickly, the highest card.

As you're the offended
party, you'll lead.

Take one.

You take it, Reglita,
with your innocent hand.

You don't have to
leave like that, Lorenzo.

You're among friends,
stay until tomorrow.

I'll tell you the same
thing you told me once.

I don't want to be a
guest in my own house.

But before leaving
I'll give you everything.

You didn't bet Bernarda
because she's a lady,

and a saint?

Bernarda... the devil
has swept us away.

Bernarda?

Why didn't you tell me?

Free but alone.

But I'll keep on singing till I die.

It hurts me and
that's why I sing.

Life's a sweet potato,
if you don't eat, you choke.

Here are backers
for the golden cockerel.

1,000 down and another 1,000

I'll give money
and my mother for it.

Don't bet what you don't have.

We raffle it and
it will be even again,

against any rooster that challenges it.

I have a rooster for that little hen.

Calm down, there's enough
for all if you don't grab.

- We'll bet all, my rooster.
- 2,000 for the Golden one.

I take the 2,000 and
pay with legal silver.

I double the bet on the Golden one.

Make heavy bets,
there's enough for all.

Another one.

Chinaco I've come to
ask you for a favor.

- Whatever you want Lorenzo.
- Let me loosen your rooster

You, Lorenzo?
That's an honor for me.

But you're too good
for this golden hen.

I don't know where
he got those airs.

Lorenzo Benavides
gave them to him,

and Lorenzo Benavides
will take them away.

This is the moment
to bet. Who offers more?

Silence, gentlemen!

We have a special
fight among friends.

The great Golden Cockerel
of Dionisio Pinzon,

against the rooster Giro
of Chinaco from Puebla.

To the middle.

Ready.

I don't have a blade.

Put it on.

Ready.

- I won.
- Have you any objections?

He lost, and he won.

Thank you, Chinaco.

Another one.

Silence, gentlemen.

The fights are going to begin.

Everybody listen,

here in San Pedro de la
Pasion and in this year,

one by the name
of Dionisio Pinzon,

went out into the world
with his golden cockerel,

looking for dreams,

Dionisio Pinzon, looking
for what you never had.

Those born in flower pots
will never be runners.
