"Cat!" " Hold on a minute." " Hey, you already owe me forty." "Don't worry, new business just arrived." " Be smart, they're watching her." " It's going to be a very delicate job." "If I were you, I wouldn't get involved." "They've got their eye on her constantly." "Each professión has its own risks." "GOD IS LOVE" " Come on." "Move to the back." " What?" "Are both of them coming?" "Are you saying "no"?" " I'll be in the back with the oranges?" " Well, of course." "You prick." "People around here are the coolest, huh?" "Throw me a bone, brother!" "Come on." "You don't want to, huh?" "If you want to go up top." "It's OK by me." "I'll go there too, so they're not alone." "Hey, I'm your buddy." "Move, get in." " You are such a prick." " Get in there!" "Pay for as many as you want." "These fuckin' chow hounds." "They chew more than you do." "But to pull a fast one on me." "That's tough." "It's OK." "We're going to do it." "I'm gonna take off my pants." "Little sister, you don't have to worry anymore." " I'm out of danger and I'll be good." " Seriously?" "Seriously." "I promise." "I really wanted to hear you say that." "You are so crazy." "You make me so happy." "Yes, I will follow the doctor's instructions." "Rest for a month." "Three months." "You'll go to the Randall's yacht and rest." "They'll be away from Mexico and they want you to use it." " And where is it?" " In Isla Mujeres." "See, Francisco?" "If you were a shark, you'd be surrounded by gringas." " Go to school!" " OK." "OK, OK." "You never make it." "Oh, my goodness." "Be careful, gorgeous, because it'll eat your foot." " Hey, Redhead." " What's going on?" "They called." "Some people will come to the boat." "Shit." "We have such a great time when nobody comes." " When do they arrive?" " Today." "By plane." "Shit!" "We barely have any time to go price the sharks." "Let me fix the boat." "You go sell them." "Then go pick them up." "In Mexico they sell it like Norwegian cod." " Like bacalao?" " Like bacalao?" "The one that bit you, Blondie." "Tintorera." " What do you say the name was?" " Tintorera." "Americans like you call it "tiger shark"." "Bye!" "Stupid Americans, they should speak in English." "TINTORERA" " Somebody will come to fix the boat." " No, I want to be alone." " Wow, it's bigger than I expected." " And she's quite a seafarer too." " Which cabin would you like to use?" " The main one, of course." "He's alone." " Would you like me to hang your things?" " Please." "The main, OK?" " Would you like a drink?" " Good idea." "Pour me a whisky." "There's no whisky." " Vodka?" " There isn't any, either." " Rum?" " Not even." "There is none." " So, what is there?" " Good will." "There isn't even coffee." "But if you'd like a drink, all you have to do is buy it." "With all this food we can sail around the world, Blondie." "If you want to go sail, you need to let Julian know." " So he hires a skipper and a seaman." " I'm not planning to sail." "I came to rest and to be alone." " Can I ask you a favor?" " Yes, sir." " Some ice." " Ice?" "Some ice." "You know what?" "I also want to ask you a favor." " What about?" " I go shark fishing to make some cash." "At night I go to the trap, and in the morning I get those that got caught." "I need to take the engine from the rubber boat." " You'll take the engine and a passenger." " A passenger?" "We made it." "This is my shark trap." " A lot of people catch shark here?" " No." "Just my brothers and I." "But they only do it in the season." "They prefer another kind of fishing, which gives more." "You mean there's a season with more sharks?" "That's right." "When the dogfish arrives, they come behind them." " Would you help me?" " What do I have to do?" "Lift them up." "The ones that got caught are on their way." "It's a lemon shark." "It looks dead." "But just in case I'm gonna beat it in the head." "Hold it." "Hold it tight, Blondie!" "This one is gone." "Help me with the other one." " Pull it out!" " I'm trying!" " That one is pretty much alive." " It's the other one." "Pull!" "Pull it out, Blondie!" "Quick." "He's eating it." "The tiger shark screwed us." "He took more than half in one bite." "But tonight he'll get caught and we'll get the son of a bitch in the morning." "I told you he chewed half of it." "Just look a that!" "Killing these animals makes me sad, even if they're sharks." "That's because you don't know them." "I'd rather sit in the sun and look at the sharks in bikinis." " Here's what you ordered." " Bring it over there." "Share them with the guys." "Don't drink it all yourself or you'll lose your job." "But don't just stand there, old man." "Sit down." "Hey, why don't you forget the invitation and get lost?" " I'm not speaking to you." " But I am speaking to you." "Vanish, get lost, disappear." "As we say in Mexico, you're the third wheel, asshole." "Yeah, I know you're a mean guy." "But get lost before I kick your ass." "Get up if you're a man." "I'll see you around, old man." "Give my best to the family!" "Redhead!" " Pack my stuff." "Get my bill from Julian." " OK." "Happy homecoming." " Stupid." " It started to rain on me, Blondie." "He always gets pissed off at the beach." " Do you think I can get a ride out?" " Maybe yes, maybe no." "Asshole!" "Happy homecoming." ""Old man"?" "Idiot!" "But he's my same age." "This one is going insane." "Tell me one thing, Redhead." "Do you think I'm stupid?" "I'm really bad at pegging people." "Well, I am." "I'm so stupid, I lost an amazing woman." "I'm so stupid, I almost did what that guy wants." "Unpack and hang everything up again." "Shit." "This would even piss off a hermit crab." "I get 3.25 for two pounds of meat." "I get 3.40 for each feet of skin." "And the fins, Blondie, they give me 7 pesos for two pounds." " Would you like to be a farmer?" " No way." " Why?" " Because it's a tough and difficult job." "Plus, they always have problems." "It doesn't rain, or it rains too much." "I'd rather be a fisherman." "The sea may give you just enough to eat." "But it always gives." " Have you ever been to Mexico city?" " Never." " Would you like to?" " What am I gonna do among such crowds?" "You're here because you need to rest." "Like everyone else visiting the island." "Looking for the sea, the air, the sun." "I've got all that since I was born." "What's going on, old man?" "You don't want to fight?" "Let's go to the beach so you're in your element." "Now, if you want to have a seat, take a chair." "You're invited." "Do you always show off by being a clown?" "You scared me, man." "What did you want me to do?" " Would you stop with that crap?" " Then stop asking." "Look, we're not going to fight every time we see each other." "You owe me and you're going to pay." "But all in time." "Now let's be friends, OK?" " What's your name?" " Steve." "I hate it when people use me for their jokes." "Come on, man." "Are we gonna go at it again?" "Catch the vibe." "Have a look at them." "I'll give you the one you like the most." "This one has a sensational butt." "But this one's got a pair of boobs, that are from another world." " And what's your name?" " Miguel." " ¿Cierto?" " Cierto." " Would you like anything else?" " No, thanks." " See you later." " See you later, Missy." " Pedrito." " One beer." "Would you like something?" "A snail ceviche, a grouper sandwich and a cold beer." " Do you want to eat anything?" " No, thanks." "But I'll hang out." "Get another beer." "Patricia left yesterday." "She disappeared without a word." "She got tired of the vacation, went back to her nest." "I don't care." "Do you know she is in love with you?" "I already told you that I don't care." "Don't be stubborn, old man." "I don't like to be called "old."" "Don't think I'm arrogant, old man." "But I'm one those fortunate men that women like." "I know you don't like me much." "But let me finish." "I didn't make an impressión on Pat." "When she told me she had come alone but that she had found somebody here," "I expected it a gringo, Finnish or somebody from the Check Republic." "I thought you were a millionaire." "Bold, old, ugly." "But then I saw you and I knew there was nothing for me to do." "You struck me as an experienced man, used to the best restaurants, the best wine, used to the best females in bed." "But as soon as you opened your mouth," "I said to myself, "I'm taking this asshole's old lady."" "I pushed your buttons on purpose, and you fell for it." "I knew I could make you hit the ceiling." "But I wasn't going to screw up like that." "I know." "I know you practice karate, that you beat Kun Fu, and Joe Louis and Mohammed, together." "I was going to fall at your first blow." "This is like "Little Red Riding Hood" and her basket of stories." "Then came the big bad wolf and, boom!" "He ate her." "What did surprise me was that handful of sand in my eyes." "But that was what brought you down, and me up." "That is to say, it took you out of her bed, to get me in it." "You know, she didn't make love with me." "She did it with you." "I mean, thinking about you." "Why are telling me all this?" "Because I know it hurts you." "It's revenge." "Just as that handful of sand in my eyes hurt me." "Now we're even on that." "I only need to get back at you for that left hook you threw at my face." "It was a right hook." "Hey, Professor." "Where's your deal?" "Come here, man!" "What's up with them naked over there?" "They went to look for their clothes." "They'll be back with all their stuff." "And probably with the hotel bill, too." " Miguel, what do you do for a living?" " I live." " Right." "What do you live off?" " Off my body." "Are you saying you exploit women?" "Well, exploit them, truly exploit them sometimes, yes." "And sometimes, no." "Sometimes I get into some bad deals and I have to support them, brother." "Look, I am on vacation here." "I usually operate in Acapulco, Vallarta, Zihuatanejo." "The Pacific Coast, where the money is." "I come here to rest." " May I ask you something?" " Of course!" "I'm a walking encyclopedia." "Do you know what you're gonna do in the future?" "Of course." "First, I'm gonna get my clothes from the beach." "And you also have to get yours which you left on the beach to go swimming naked with strangers." "Come on, now." "Let's go." "Hey, should we take the small sail boat?" " Or do we just swim over there?" " It's up to you." "I'll make a bet with you." "I bet I'll make it first to the beach." "We dive at the count of three." " It's not fair." "You brought your fins." " What fins, asshole?" "Well, with such big feet, you seem Cro-Magnon." "It was a draw." "No, no." "You won." "What's fair is fair." "Plus, I was getting too deep in the ocean, on your boat." "I need to be on solid ground." "I'll go into business administration." "With a gringa I already have my eye on." "What do you say, Redhead?" "Should we?" "Redhead!" "Redhead!" " What the hell is going on here?" " The girls brought some friends." "Hey, Captain!" "How's the good life?" " Resting and getting some sun." " Cool!" "Luxurious like the ones at the Hammacka Hilton." "But all of them are sensational." "Oh, mamma." "Are these the hippies of the hotel by the cemetery?" "Yes, my man." "They are all very beautiful." "Beautiful and hungry." "But today I don't have the strength to even look at them." "What do you say we eat and leave?" "Pablito!" "Conquí!" "I have a surprise for you, man." " Another?" " It's not what you think." "I'll take you scuba-diving to a new spot." "Nice and difficult." "People call it "the big caves."" " Have you already been there?" " No." "Are we going?" "I want to see you walk your talk over there, Professor." "This is lethal." " What's this rod for?" " That's the surprise I've got for you." "You'll see down below." " Are you ready?" " Yes." "Let's rock 'n' roll." "Beautiful animal." "It's a good size." "Now we're even." "The contest is three shots." "I'm going down to get it." "Give me that hook." "Pull when I give you the signal." "Not that way!" "It's over on this side!" " How did you know it wouldn't get us?" " We had a wounded barracuda." "If not, you gotta watch out." "Sharks always attack wounded victims." "The wounded animal's vibrations attract the shark." "Why did you swim over there to catch it?" "The currents in the bottom are strong." "If dive in, they take me far from the animal." "It's good to have everything clear." "Tomorrow is my turn." "She's alone and looking for action." "How can you be so sure?" "No man makes a woman wait for more than ten or fifteen minutes, which means she is alone." "She's not waiting for anybody." "I bet you I'll go to bed with her before you do." "That's a bet I wouldn't want to lose." "Let's go?" " Where?" " What do you mean?" "To get her." "Come on." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Yes, one tequila." " Two tequilas." " Three tequilas." "You're looking good, old man." "You're looking good." " Please..." " Good evening." "It's too bad she didn't want to come." "She can't decide with whom to go to bed." "This girl's a professional." " Do you think she's a whore?" " No, man." "Don't get mixed up." "This girl doesn't open her legs for money." "She does it for fun or interest." "A calculated interest, of course." "She's interested in me and likes me more." "But you throw her off." "I'm sure she wants to know more about us." "What's more, I could say she thinks we're gay." "Grab this." "It's a tiger shark." "Let's go to the boat." "What do you think?" "I bet she's already made a decisión." "Stop with the bets." "We'd better wait and see." "The vibe is getting folkloric." "My head." "This squid stew will be delicious." " Are you married?" " In one way, almost." "In another, a bit." "I don't understand." "Very complicated, isn't it?" "I think we've gone too far." "Sometimes when we're in bed with Gabriella," "I get scared and I wonder how far we've gone." "I think we're going beyond all limits." "Your limits;" "life doesn't have any." "We make the boundaries." "You're falling in love with Gabriella." "If that's true, then I'll vanish and she is yours." "No." "It's not that." "I can't deny I'm madly attracted to her special view of life." "She's a wild animal that can't adapt to a cage." "She's trying to indoctrinate us on her habits of sexual freedom." "That's all." "The thing is, I'm not even jealous when she's with you." "On the contrary, I like what she does." "And that's precisely what frightens me." "They're coming!" "Prepare the champagne!" "OK." "Do you want anything else?" "I'm leaving to set my traps." "No, thanks." "No." "You know what?" "I think we're creating something new in this country." "Are we?" "What it is?" "In Mexico, it is customary for a man to have a number of women, but never together." "The famous "big house" and "small house"?" "That's right." "However, you and I do it the other way around." "We live together in this floating cave." "And we have only one woman." "What you're saying is not funny, but it is true." "Two men having sex with one woman is a cause for tragedy in our country." "How many idiots have ended up in jail, for killing a rival?" "We are not rivals, we're friends who enjoy the same things." " You taught me to think that way." " And you learned fast." "You look so pretty." "First, I thought you didn't know what you were doing." "The second day, I thought you were a bit crazy." "The third day, I had no doubt about it:" "You're completely insane." "Only you would dive into a spot brimming with sharks." "I'm only looking for one." "It's worse than trying to find a needle in a haystack." "Watch out, Blondie." "Remember the tiger shark won't spare you." "Suit yourself." "What happened?" " There are five of them." " Five?" "There's a tiger shark." "It's not the one I'm looking for." "But it is definitely alive." "Let's pull it out." "Stop it, Blondie!" "You'll destroy the skin." "Cut it out, Blondie." " Bring me a double vodka, on the rocks." " Yes, sir." "Disculpe, ¿hay alguna mesa libre?" "Two shrimp cocktails." "Two cold beers, please." "What about Kelly and Cynthia?" "If you're interested," "I'll give them back to you tonight." "I'll trade them for these two." "Get out!" "Get out of the water!" "It was horrible, Redhead." "Horrible." "I can imagine." "You can't imagine it." "This goes beyond anything." "And you tell me?" "I've battled those beasts for years." "And it's not just me." "It's the whole island." "Here's the doctor." "How do you feel?" "Did you sleep well?" "How's Kelly?" "She's still going through a nervous breakdown." "But she's better." "Can I see her?" "Now is not a good time." "She's still unconscious." "Why don't you go and make your statement at the port authority?" "You may come back in the afternoon to see her." "I can't come this afternoon, doctor." "I have to go kill that animal." "Why run the risk?" "If that tiger shark is here, he'll get caught in the trap." "She needs to react." "It's important to let her know that you've talked to her relatives." "Her full and quick recovery depends on that." "Hello, Blondie." "I've got news for you." " What's this?" " A hook from my trap." "He's a real beast." "He's twenty feet long and he weighs about one ton." "I know that." "But I never imagined he was so strong." "If that animal can bend my hooks, how the hell will we kill him?" " I can do it." " Your bullets can get a bull or a lemon." "But not a tiger shark." "And least of all this one that's pissed off." "I only want one chance." "You already got away once." "You won't do it the next." "There you have it." "It's a dogfish." "It's over there." "Look, look!" "That one's good for empanadas." " Hit him!" "Hit him hard." " OK, man." "Look out!" "Look out!" "Come up!" "The tiger shark's coming!" "This came yesterday in the last flight." "A boat will come for you." "They're gathering all the fishermen." "Did you hear what happened at the beach today?" "Yes, the guy that came over told me." "What a tragedy." "Do you think it is the same tiger shark?" "I'm absolutely sure." "Well, I'm gonna go see what they want me for." " Most probably to kill that animal." " That will totally suck." " I'll be back in a little while." " Good luck."
