How pleasant for a harvester to rest
under a tree when the sun's blazing!

The shade and the flowing stream
ease the midday heat.

But neither shade nor stream
can cool love's flame!

Lucky is the harvester
who shields himself from love's flame!

Lucky is the harvester
who can shield himself from love's flame!

How lovely she is, how dear.
To see her is to love her!

But I can't inspire any affection in her heart.

She reads, studies, learns...
there's nothing she doesn't know!

Me, I'm just a know-nothing.
All I can do is sigh.

How beautiful she is, how dear.
To see her is to love her!

But I can't inspire any affection in her heart.



I can't inspire any affection in her heart.

Who will teach me?
Who'll show me how to win her love?

The shade and the flowing stream
ease the midday heat.

But neither shade nor stream can cool love's flame.

Lucky is the harvester
who can shield himself from love's flame!

Who'll show me how to win her love?

This story is wonderful!

What a strange tale!

What's so funny?

Tell us about your amusing book.

It's the story of Tristan...
a chronicle of love.

Read it to us!

I'll mingle with the crowd so I can stay near her.

For cruel Isolde, the handsome Tristan pined.



But he had no hope of winning her.

Then he threw himself
at the feet of a wise sorcerer...

...who gave him an elixir of love.

With that, the lovely Isolde fled from him no more.

What an excellent elixir!
I wish I knew the recipe!

Such a wonderful elixir!
I wonder what was in it.

Read on!

As soon as he drank a drop
from the magic vessel...

...Isolde's rebellious heart softened.

That cruel beauty changed in an instant.

She became Tristan's true love,
ever faithful to him.

And that first drop of elixir...

...was forever blessed.

What an excellent elixir!
I wish I knew the recipe!

Such a delightful elixir!
I wonder what was in it.

How I wish I knew the recipe!

How I wish I knew the recipe!

As handsome Paris gave the apple
to the fairest lady...

...I bring you these flowers,
my dear country girl.

But I'm more glorious than Paris...and luckier.

Because, in return for my gift,
I'll receive your dear heart.

-He's modest, this fellow!
-Yes, truly!

What a nuisance!

I see it in your pretty little face.
I've stolen your heart.

It's no surprise.

I'm a gentleman.

And a sergeant.

No beauty can resist the sight of a uniform.

Mars, the god of war,
conquered even the mother of Cupid.

-He's so modest!
-Truly!

Yes, Mars conquered even the mother of Cupid.

What a pest he is!

Yes, Mars conquered even the mother of Cupid.

If you love me, as I love you,
why wait any longer to surrender?

My dear, you must capitulate.

When will you marry me?

I'm in no hurry, mister.
I need time to think.

I'll be miserable if she accepts.
I'll die of despair!

-Surrender to me.
-I'm in no hurry.

I need time to think.

Don't waste time!
The hours are flying.

In love, as in war,
it's a mistake to dawdle.

Surrender to the victor.
You can't escape from me.

You might as well give up.
You'll never get away.

How arrogant men are!
They cry victory before they even fight!

It's not so easy to conquer Adina!

You'll never vanquish Adina.
Go ahead and try!

If only I had his courage!
I'd win her heart with the power of my love.

It's not so easy to conquer Adina!

Meanwhile, my dear, I'll occupy the piazza.

Let my soldiers rest in the shade awhile.

Gladly. I'd be delighted to offer
one bottle of wine.

Much obliged.

I'm already one of the family!

Back to work now.
The sun will soon be setting.

Just one word, Adina.

The same old story!
The same old sighs!

You should go visit your uncle.
They say he's gravely ill.

His pain's nothing, next to mine.

I can't leave you. I've tried.

What if he dies and
leaves someone else his money?

-Why should I care?
-Without money you'll starve!

Dying that way, or of love,
it's all the same to me.

Listen, you're a good person...
not like that sergeant.

So I'll speak plainly.
You know it's hopeless to think my love would last.

I'm fickle. My desires die
as quickly as they're aroused.

But Adina...why?

A good question!

Ask the charming breeze
why she flies about without settling...

...resting now on the lily, then on the rose.

She'll say it's her nature
to be flighty and unfaithful.

It's just her nature.

Then I must....

Renounce this love.
Leave me alone.

Dear Adina, I can't.

You can't? Why not?

Ask the river why he leaves
the cliff that gave him life...

...and runs to the sea that
beckons to him, and there dies.

He'll say that he is drawn
by a power he cannot name.

What do you want?

To die pursuing you.

You should find a new love.
You deserve to.

Impossible! I could never....

To cure the folly of faithful love,
follow my example...

...every day, change lovers!

I use one love to drive out another.

This is how I amuse myself
and keep my heart free.

I see and hear only you,
night and day, in everything.

I try to forget you,
but your face is burned in my heart.

Even if I changed lovers the way you do...

...I could never banish you,
my first love, from my heart.

What's this commotion?

Hurry! Come and see!

A stranger in a gilded carriage!

It must be a nobleman.
Look at the attendants!

It must be a great person, a baron or a marquis.

Someone important, maybe a duke, or better.

Is that him?
Make way! We can't see!

Hear me!

Listen, O countrymen!

Pay attention! Not a whisper!

I imagine you know as well as I do...

...I'm that great physician,
that doctor of encyclopedic knowledge...

...whose name is Dulcamara!

Yes, he whose celebrated powers
and countless miracles...

...are known throughout the universe...

...and elsewhere.

I'm humanity's hero, healer of all ills.

In mere days, I can empty hospitals.

I travel the world and what I sell is health.

Buy it! You can have it for almost nothing.

This amazing toothache remedy
also kills rats and bugs.

I've got stamped certificates that you may examine.

Thanks to my tasty, effective tonic,
a sickly old man...

...became the grandpa
of ten�no�twenty children!

With this wonder drug,
grieving widows stop weeping.

You elderly ladies,
do you want to be young again?

Your inconvenient wrinkles will vanish.

Girls, would you like smooth skin?

Gents, want lots of lovers?

Buy my elixir for almost nothing.

Come, people, buy my elixir for a song.

It heals paralytics, apoplectics,
asthmatics, hysterics, diabetics.

Bloating, rickets,
even those trendy liver problems.

It heals paralytics, apoplectics,
asthmatics, hysterics, diabetics.

Come one, come all!
Widows, children! Buy my elixir!

I've brought it from far away.

You ask, how much does it cost?

A hundred crowns? No! Thirty? No!
Twenty? Don't worry.

Let no one be dismayed!
I part with it for just one crown.

One crown? Really?
There could not be a better man!

Here it is!
What a stupendous, balsamic elixir!

All of Europe knows it never sells
for less than nine liras.

But since I was born in this country...

...I'll give it to you for just three liras!

It's clear as day!

Everyone who buys it saves a lira for his pocket.

He's right! Let's buy some!

What a fabulous doctor you are!

We'll never forget your visit!

We'll remember you forever!

Ah, love for one's homeland
can work great miracles!

We'll never forget your visit.

A little salesmanship goes a long way!

Ah, love for one's homeland can work miracles!

Heaven sent this miraculous man
to our village for my benefit.

I'll put his knowledge to the test.

Doctor, pardon me.
Is it true you know wondrous secrets?

You'd be amazed!
My pocket is a veritable Pandora's box.

Would you, by any chance,
have the love potion of Queen Isolde?

What...? How's that?

I mean that amazing elixir that arouses love.

Ah, yes, I understand.
I'm the one who brews it!

Is that true?

It's all the rage this summer.

How lucky! Do you sell it, too?

Every day, to the whole world!

What's the price?

Almost nothing.

A ducat?

A ducat? That's all I've got.

That's exactly the price!

Take it, doctor!

Behold the magical liqueur.

Much obliged. I'm so happy!
Bless the maker of this fine elixir!

(I've met my share of idiots...)

(...but none as stupid as this one.)

I'm so happy!
Bless the maker of this fine elixir!

Hey, doctor, just one moment.

How do I take it?

Very gently, shake the bottle a bit.

Then uncork it, but make sure
the vapor doesn't escape.

Then raise it to your lips and drink it in sips.

Its amazing effects will follow soon after.

Right away?

Actually, in a day or so.

(Time enough for me to hit the road!)

And the flavor?

Excellent!

(It's Bordeaux, not elixir.)

Much obliged. I'm so happy!
Bless the maker of this fine elixir!

-(I've met my share of dopes...)
-Thank you, Doctor!

-(...but this one takes the cake.)
-Bless this wonder!

I'm so happy!
Bless the maker of this fine elixir!

Young man....

Sir?

Most important....

Keep quiet...you understand?

These days, selling love is a delicate business.

The authorities might interfere.

-Silence, then.
-I promise. Not a soul will know.

No one will ever find out.

Go, fortunate mortal!
Tomorrow all womankind will desire you.

Doctor, I swear I drink it for one woman alone.

Not a drop will remain for another.

Surely some friendly star sent this doctor to me!

Go, you lucky dog!
Tomorrow all womankind will desire you.

Remember�silence!
Selling love is a delicate business.

Surely some friendly star sent this doctor to me.

Surely some friendly star sent this doctor to me.

Blessed elixir! You're mine, all mine!

How powerful you are!

I haven't even drunk yet
and joy already fills my heart!

But why do I have to wait
a whole day for it to work?

Well, let's drink!

How tasty! How rare!

Another swallow!

A sweet warmth runs through my veins!

Perhaps she's starting to feel the same fire.

Surely she must feel the hunger
and desire burning in me.

Who is that over there?

Is it Nemorino?
Why is he so cheerful?

Damn! It's her!

But no...I won't approach her yet.

I mustn't annoy her with my sighing.

Tomorrow her cold heart will have to love me.

He's not even looking at me!

How he's changed.

Is his happiness real or an act?

She doesn't feel love yet.

He's acting so strange.

She's just acting indifferent.

His behavior is so odd.

She doesn't feel love yet.

Let her gloat over my suffering just a bit longer!

Tomorrow will be the end of this...
tomorrow she'll love me.

Tomorrow she'll love me.

The fool thinks he can cast off the chains of love!

But soon those chains will be heavier than ever.

-Let her exult in my suffering.
-The fool can't cast off his chains!

-Tomorrow she'll love me.
-He'll feel them more than ever!

Splendid! You've taken my advice!

It's true. I'm giving it a try.

What about your suffering?

I hope to forget it.

And your fiery passion?

It'll soon be extinguished.

In just one more day my heart will be healed.

Really? I'm so relieved!

But...we shall see.

Just one more day.

We shall see.

Let her gloat over my suffering just a bit longer!

The fool thinks he can cast off the chains of love!

Tomorrow it will end...tomorrow she'll love me.

Now those chains will be heavier than ever!

Let her exult over my suffering!

He'll never throw off those chains!

Tomorrow it'll be over...
tomorrow she'll love me.

Now those chains will be heavier than ever!

In just one more day.

Really?

Let her gloat over my suffering just a bit longer!

The fool thinks he can cast off the chains of love!

Tomorrow it will end...
tomorrow she'll love me.

Now those chains will be heavier than ever!

Let her exult over my suffering!

He'll never throw off those chains!

Tomorrow it'll be over...
tomorrow she'll love me.

Now those chains will be heavier than ever!

In love, as in war, sieges are exhausting.

Belcore! Just in time.

I invade, in both war and love.

Here comes that pest, Belcore.

Well, sergeant, how do you like our piazza?

It's so skillfully defended,
it would be useless to attack.

Hasn't your heart told you it will soon surrender?

If only Cupid willed it!

You will see! You will see!

When? Is it possible?

I'm trembling, in spite of myself.

Tell me, beautiful angel,
when will we be married?

Very quickly!

What's that?

Exactly when?

In six days.

Oh, joy...I'm ecstatic!
Did you hear? She said six days!

That's fine with me!

That's fine with me!

What's he laughing at?
That moron!

If he doesn't leave now, I'll kill him.

Why is he so happy to hear I'm getting married?

Nemorino makes me furious!

I'll kill him.

I can't hide my fury!

Sergeant, your troops are looking for you.

What's happened?
What's so urgent?

A messenger's brought orders for you.

"The captain...."

Well, then....

Let's go, comrades.
We have to leave.

Leave...when?

Tomorrow morning.

Heavens, so soon?

Adina's upset.

The orders are clear.
What can I do?

Bad luck, moving on again!

We have to leave our lovers!

So, my dear, we leave tomorrow.

Don't forget my love for you.

Yes, tomorrow you'll hear some news!

I'll prove my faithfulness.
I'll keep my promise.

Yes, tomorrow you'll see.

If you're serious, why delay?

Marry me today.

Today?

Nemorino looks worried.

All right...today.

Today! Oh Adina!

Today, you say?

Why not?

At least wait until tomorrow.

What's it to you?

Adina...not today!

Adina, believe me, I beg you.

You cannot marry him.

Wait just one day.
You'll see why.

Tomorrow, my dear, you'll be sorry.
You'll regret it as much as I will.

Tomorrow, perhaps,
you'll regret it as much as I will.

You baboon! It's a good thing
you're either crazy or drunk!

I'd strangle you,
or pulverize you, if you were sober.

While you still can,
get out of my sight, you fool.

Have pity on the poor fool.

He's impetuous, half crazy.

He thinks I should love him because
he's crazed with love for me.

Oh, Adina! Oh, doctor!

All I want is for him to give in.

Have pity on the poor fool.

He can't compete with Belcore.

He could never win Adina.

Get lost, you fool!

Get out of my sight!

Come on, Belcore.
Let's find the notary.

Doctor, help me!

He's really crazy!

I'll show you, Nemorino!

Yes, he's crazy!

Now you'll see!

I invite you to a banquet, friends.

Giannetta, girls�I'll expect you to be there.

A banquet! Who could refuse?

Now he's paying for everything!

With music and merry company,
we'll spend a happy day.

She's breaking my heart.
I've lost all hope.

With joyful music and merry company,
we'll celebrate today.

Oh, doctor, help me!

Let's sing!

A toast to the bride and groom to be!

May their days be long and happy.

I worship love and wine.
Wine and women heal every care.

If only Nemorino were here,
that would make me happy!

A toast to the bride and groom to be!
May their days be long and happy.

May their days be long and happy.

Since you like singing, listen to this.

I know a little song.
It's the latest thing.

It's pretty and lively...
I think it will give you pleasure.

Provided that the lovely bride sings along, that is.

Let's hear it! If Dulcamara likes it,
it must be extraordinary.

Nina the Gondola Girl and Senator Three-teeth.

A barcarolle for two voices.
Listen, everyone!

I'm rich and you're beautiful.
I've got gold and you've got charm.

So why do you snub me, Nina?

What an honor!
A senator's begging me for love!

But I'm just a modest gondola girl.
I want to marry my own kind.

Don't be so cruel!
Make a senator happy.

It's too great an honor.
I don't deserve a senator.

Dear gondola girl, take the money, forget love.

Love is light, and vanishes.
Gold is heavy, and lasts forever.

What an honor!
A senator's begging me for love!

But Zanetto is the young man
I love and want to marry.

Don't be so cruel!
Make a senator happy.

It's too great an honor.
I don't deserve a senator.

Bravo, Dulcamara!
Your song is a success!

Even the best singer couldn't have chosen better.

Doctor Dulcamara is an expert at whatever he does.

A master of all the arts!

Silence!

The notary is here to seal my happiness.

He's welcome here.

I welcome you, recruiter for the god Hymen!

The notary has arrived, but still no Nemorino!

Come, my Venus!

But your lovely eyes look troubled!

It's nothing.

If he's not here, I can't have my revenge.

Come sign the contract.
Time is flying.

Weddings are nice,
but my favorite part is the meal.

I just saw the notary.
All hope is lost for poor Nemorino!

My heart is broken!

Don't be so cruel.
Make a senator happy.

You're here, doctor.

The happy couple asked me to dinner,
and I'm cleaning up the leftovers.

I'm desperate.

I'm beside myself!

She must love me before tomorrow.
Right now, immediately!

(Good God, he's mad!)

Just drink the elixir.
You'll be fine.

She'll really love me?

They all will. I promise.

To speed up the elixir's effects,
take an extra dose right away.

(In half an hour, I'll be gone.)

Doctor, give me another bottle.

Gladly. I like to help the needy.

-Do you have any money?
-No I don't.

My friend, that changes everything.
Come back when you've got some.

Look for me later at the inn.

I'm so miserable!

Women are strange creatures.

Adina wants to marry me,
but now she's putting it off till tonight.

Here's my rival.
I'd like to bash his head in.

What's the matter with him?

Young fellow, why do you despair?

I have no money,
and I don't know where to get any.

Well, blockhead,
if you're broke, become a soldier...

...and you'll get twenty crowns!

Twenty crowns!

In real coins!

When...now?

At once.

What should I do?

And along with cash,
you'll get military glory and honor.

Those aren't the things that tempt my heart.

If it's love you want, soldiers never lack that.

I'd be exposed to the dangers of war.

Tomorrow I'd have to leave
my homeland, my uncle, my relatives.

It's easy money!

But I know there's no other way...

...there's no other way to win Adina's heart.

You'll find love with the canteen girls,
amid drums and banners.

If only I could win Adina!

A soldier doesn't bother with fidelity
or waste time sighing.

I'd lay down my life to win her.

-Believe me, you'll enjoy the army!
-If only I could win Adina!

If only I could win Adina!

I'd lay down my life to win her.

Twenty crowns?

Right away!

Okay...I'll go.

Give me the money.

First, you must sign this paper.

Make your "X" there.

I'll go find Dulcamara right away.

I'm pleased with my new recruit.

All in all, you seem like a good fellow.

If you model yourself after me,
you'll soon be a corporal!

I've recruited my rival!
Now that's something!

I've recruited my rival!
Now that's something!

You don't know who has reduced me to this plan.

You don't know the heart that beats
beneath these humble clothes.

You can't imagine what this money's worth to me.

No treasure will ever equal it
if it wins me her love.

Is it possible?

Very possible.

But it's improbable!

It's very probable.

Where did you hear it?
Who told you?

Not so loud!

Keep it to yourselves. Not a word!

Don't give away the secret.

Only the peddler knows.

He told it to me in confidence.

The peddler told you?

Then it must be true. How delicious!

Hush...quiet!

I just heard Nemorino's uncle died...

...and left him a huge fortune!

But keep it quiet, for goodness' sake.

Don't tell a soul.

We won't say a word.

Now Nemorino's a millionaire.
He's the neighborhood Croesus.

A man of means, a great catch.
It'll be a lucky girl who marries him.

But shh, quiet, for goodness' sake!

Now Nemorino's a millionaire.
He's the neighborhood Croesus.

A man of means, a great catch.
It'll be a lucky girl who marries him.

But keep it quiet, for goodness' sake!

Just keep it quiet!

What a miraculous elixir...
and I've had quite a bit!

The doctor promised that
all the girls would notice me.

Even more than I imagined, my hope is reborn.

I can already feel the effects of the drug!

Off I go....

Your humble servant.

-Giannetta!
-We curtsy to you.

What's gotten into these girls?

Nemorino's so sweet!

And loveable!
He has the bearing of a gentleman.

I get it!
This is all because of the elixir!

What am I seeing?

This is great!

Doctor, you told the truth!
I've touched the heart of every woman!

Can I believe this?
Do you fancy him?

He is a young man worthy
of our attention and honor.

I thought I'd find him weeping!

If they all love me, Adina must, too!

We're going dancing.
Will you join us?

Absolutely!

Dance with me!

No, me first!

He promised me!

You first...then you.

Every single woman is after him!

My elixir has no equal!

Heavens, even her!

Yes, all of them!

Nemorino, come over here.

Belcore told me, for a few crowns,
you have become a soldier.

A soldier! It can't be!

You're making a big mistake!
We should talk about it.

Go ahead. Talk.

Listen to me!

I can already guess what you're feeling.
The medicine's working!

Now you will feel the ache
of a loving heart�just once!

What a sudden change!
What a strange trembling in my heart!

It's love's revenge for my coldness!
Now I love a man who scorns me!

They all love him, thanks to my elixir.

How happy he looked!

-I deserve the credit!
-You, doctor?

Happiness is at my command.
I distill pleasure like rose water.

You marvel at the change in the young man.

It's all my doing!

Madness.

Madness, you say? You unbeliever!

Do you know the power of alchemy?
The love elixir of Queen...Isolde?

Isolde?

I carry every distillation of it!

And you gave the elixir to Nemorino?

He needed it to win the love of some cruel woman.

So he was in love?

He languished without hope.

To get a drop of the magic potion,
he sold his freedom and became a soldier.

What a great love!

And I tortured his noble heart!

She too is in love.

What she needs now is my elixir!

So now Nemorino is lucky in love?

The entire fair sex
is crazy about this young man.

And which woman is his favorite?
Which one does he prefer?

He's the cock of the walk.
He dallies with them all!

To think his heart was once mine!

Now that she's in love,
she'll need some elixir!

To think his heart was once mine!

She too is in love.
What she needs now is my elixir!

Come here a moment.
You look so sad.

You're in love!
That's what I deduce!

-If you want....
-If I want what?

If you want, I have the prescription for your ills.

That would be wonderful,
but you can't really help me.

Do you want a thousand lovers at your feet?

What would I do with them?
I want only one.

Do you want to make all women jealous?

I don't enjoy disturbing the peace of others.

-Want to conquer a rich man?
-Riches don't turn my head.

-A count, a marquis?
-No, I only want Nemorino.

-Take my prescription.
-It really wouldn't help.

You have the nerve to deny its value?

I respect your elixir,
but I have a better one.

Nemorino will forget all other women,
and he'll be mine.

Doctor, she's too clever.
She knows more than you.

A tender look, a smile,
a caress can melt the stubborn heart.

I've seen so many succumb to love.
Nemorino can't escape me.

The prescription is my own face.
The elixir is in my eyes.

A tender look, a smile,
a caress can melt the stubborn heart.

I've seen so many succumb to love.
Nemorino can't escape me.

You know my art better than I do!

Your lips are love's apothecary.

Your heart burns hotter than Mount Etna.

You can brew any love you want.

I'd like to exchange my elixir for yours.

The prescription is my own face.

Oh, you sly one!

The elixir is in my eyes.

A tender look, a smile,
a caress can melt the stubborn heart....

A furtive tear welled up in her eye.

She seemed to envy those merry girls.

Now what more could I want?

What more could I want?

She loves me...yes, I can see it.

For just one moment,
to feel the trembling of her dear heart!

Just briefly, to mingle my sighs with hers!

To feel the trembling of her dear heart!

To mingle my sighs with hers!

Dear heaven, now I can die!
I ask for nothing more.

Dear heaven, now I can die!

I ask for nothing more.

There she is...
she's even more beautiful in love.

I'll act aloof until she confesses her feelings.

Tell me, why are you leaving?
Why did you become a soldier?

I wanted to see if I could improve my destiny.

Your life is dear to us.

I bought back your contract from Belcore.

You did?

Of course she did. It's love!

Take it. I've freed you.

Stay here in your homeland.

No matter how bleak your destiny,
it could still change in a day.

Stay here, where everyone loves you.

You're wise, loving, and honest.

You won't always feel discouraged and sad.

No, you won't be downhearted forever.

No, you won't be downhearted forever.

-Now she'll confess.
-Goodbye.

What? You're leaving me?

Yes, I am.

You've nothing more to say?

Nothing.

Well, then, take this back!

Since I'm unloved,
I want to die as a soldier.

I cannot live in peace
if the doctor has deceived me.

He hasn't. He told you the truth.

If you'd only have faith in your own heart.

You should know it finally.

You're very dear to me.

Yes, you are dear to me, and I love you!

Yes, I love you!

What indescribable joy!

As much as I made you miserable,
I want to make you happy.

The doctor didn't deceive me!

Forget my cruelty.

I swear eternal love to you.

Forget my cruelty.
I promise to love you forever.

Yes, I'll love you forever.

Forget my cruelty.

I swear I'll love you forever!

What's this? In the arms of my rival?

That's how it is, Belcore.
Make your peace with it.

He's my bridegroom.

What's done...

...is done.

Take him, you minx.

It's your funeral.

The world is full of women,
and thousands will chase Belcore.

You'll need my elixir of love!

Dear doctor, I owe my happiness to you.

To him?

To me! You know that Nemorino became
the village's richest landowner...

...when his uncle died.

My uncle died?

I already knew that!

So did I.

But here's what you don't know....

This supernatural elixir not only
cures the pangs of love...

...it also makes paupers rich!

What a magical liqueur!

It fixes every flaw, every blunder of nature.

It even makes ugly creatures beautiful.

It makes crones walk and straightens hunchbacks.

It also removes unsightly facial growths!

Here, doctor! One bottle! Two! Three!

It'll fend off zealous guardians.

It's a great narcotic for the elderly, or the jealous.

It gives courage to girls afraid to sleep alone.

And it's a more potent aphrodisiac than coffee!

Doctor, look, here! One bottle! Two! Three!

Thank your lucky stars
I'm leaving you such a great treasure.

It has everything you need�
health, beauty, bliss, riches.

Regain your youth, grow rich and stout.

Long live the great Dulcamara!

We owe him our happiness!

We'll never forget your enchanting elixir!

Farewell, come back soon!
