"I have to tell her the truth." "If she had more money..." "Besides, I can't stand her anymore." "In Torremolinos, there has to be a woman for me." "Swedish women will thank you and even buy you breakfast the next day." "I shouldn't have come to Madrid." "Sir..." "Sir... sir..." "No, I can't." "I won't marry her." "May God repay you." " Write me sooner this time." " But I'm here to see you now." " Did you cash the check?" " Yes." "My brother-in-law is asking me for the books." " Are you coming with me?" " Yes." "Can you help at mass?" "Oh, you're leaving already?" "Give it to him." "Excuse me, but I have to go." "I work at the Treasury, and I have to set a good example." " Are you sad because I'm going?" " You know that's not why." " Did you bring the letter?" " Yes." "Maybe I'll come see you in Ciudad Real." " Would you mind?" " But why?" "You shouldn't go up now." "My brother-in-law is up there." "They'll leave tomorrow." "I still haven't told them anything." "I'd like for them to meet you." "I'll write them about the wedding." "A letter is better for these things." "I would've liked you to stay a few days in Madrid." "You know I don't want you to sign the installment contract." "It's my family who does." "Would you like to see me in Ciudad Real?" "I can't give you any more money." "Why?" "Why did I do that?" "I need to think, to rest." "I'll go to my aunt's house." "Nobody will bother me there." "I'm so tired." "What are you looking at?" "You're always distracted." "Put them on the lower shelf so you don't spill them again." "That must be the manager." "Try not to step on any." "Leave the ones under the fridge, okay?" "My aunt seems more and more like my mother." " Don't you know him?" "He's my nephew." " May I have your trash now?" " I already took it down yesterday." " Good night and sleep well." "And forgive me, I didn't mean to bother you." "Don't move, don't step on them!" "Maybe you won't spill them next time." "You're sure you replied to Jesús?" "The letter I got from Málaga doesn't mention it." "When you see your mother in Guadalajara, stay calm." " My mother..." " If she scolds you, just be quiet." "It's a sad joke that your brother-in-law is the one reaping all the rewards." "You were foolish to get mad at them." "It's all your sister's fault." "I can't believe they bought you out for 100,000 pesetas, and then didn't give you anything." "Know what they've made the past three years?" "At least ten times what they gave you." "It'd be great if you got married, Amador." " Has Julia written you?" " She's the only one who did!" "She'll get you to marry her someday." " Don't worry." "I knew they'd do it." " Yes, but now you need their help." " It's your fault I got mad at your mom." " No, it's everyone else's!" "If I could, I'd go talk to her myself." "Take a look at your friend Jesús." "In no time, he's become the best-known lawyer in Málaga." "What are you doing?" "Watch where you step." "What are you doing?" " What did the sanitarium charge you?" " 73,000 pesetas." "Get your mother to pay it." "I don't know how they fail to see that you were sick." "Of course you have to convince them." "Your bed's already made." "I'll leave you breakfast in the kitchen." "I'm taking the alarm clock." "I have to be at the ministry early." "Come on, you're such a liar." "You made up the sanitarium thing just to get some rest." "She's such a pain." "She doesn't understand me." "I'm going to Guadalajara for a few days." "I'll be able to relax there with Julia and my son." "If my family understood me..." "Amador!" "Are you sleeping?" "Then I'll go to Torremolinos." "Nobody will know me there." "With the money she has, and her continuing to work..." "Are you asleep yet?" "My mother..." "Amador at 11 months, 1926." " How about an Optalidón instead?" " Sure, whatever you've got." "So how are things around here?" "A few days ago, your mother came by the house." "She seemed well." "But I think she's a little irritated now." " What should I go get?" " Get some tobacco and a few eggs." "That coat's going to get burned." "Have you seen Sergio, my brother-in-law?" "He's the same." "He really has a handle on the business." "Do you know that your sister is pregnant?" "Surely you know that my wife died." "Julia was really good with us." " She's very pretty!" " Yeah, she wrote me a letter." "I'm dating her cousin now." "Get me another cognac." "If you stay here a few days, I'd like you to look over the will." "My mother-in-law, you know her." "She mortgaged half of her home a few years ago." "My wife said she was in love with you when you were kids." "Of course I never got offended." "Everyone's still the same." "They only care about their own lives." "If I married Julia, I could stay here and try to forget it all." "I don't charge in the mornings." "I don't go around dressed in black." "Just a button on my lapel." ""Marry once and you'll marry again."" "I would've come to the funeral, but I found out very late." "The papers are all here." "Could you take a look at them?" "These are the bequests." "Does my mother come down through the store?" "Yes, but only in the mornings." "I can't now, but I'll be back this afternoon." "You dated my wife's cousin." "You were good to her, right?" "Don't feed me a line." "Hey, your son's a man now." "He's very handsome." "He looks like you, eh?" " Good morning, Mr. Amador." " Hello." "What time is it?" "11:00." "Isn't your daughter here?" "Well, I think she's going to leave." " She might have left already." " Okay, I'll wait for her." "No, maybe she hasn't left." " Don't you remember me?" " Me?" "Yes." "And... are you well now?" "Me?" "Of course." "Julia, it's me, Amador!" "How will she be?" " I thought I heard you!" " I don't like this house." "My heart told me it was you." "Come have a look." "We're much better off now." "You've never been here before!" "Imagine if I had to go to the store four times a day from my old place." " What about the boy?" " I have him in an academy." "He'll come to eat." "Bring your suitcase and sit wherever you can." "These are all the chairs we have." " Why'd you take him out of the rest home?" " He's no bother." "Besides, it's one less worker to hire." "My poor father was so lonely there." "You got out of the sanitarium yesterday." "I had to hear it from someone else." "Well, I'm going to have a lot of expenses around here." "This armoire here doesn't suit me." "And the lamp gets lost in the ceiling." "You'll see how well our Julio is." "I plan to stay longer this time." "I'd like to sleep for a bit." "Sleep here, in my bed." "Get some rest." "I'll wake you when I get back." "Amador." "We haven't even spent two weeks in this house." "I still haven't had time to arrange anything." "Everything has to get painted and... the space needs to be divided and..." "Okay, dear." "I have to go now." "A kiss." "You're very handsome." "Six months without hearing from you." "You really had me worried." "Get some rest." "And if you need anything, ask my father for it." "Bye!" "If anyone comes, tell them to come back at lunchtime." "Amador is sleeping in my room." "Amador!" "Have you had breakfast?" "Do you want a little coffee?" "Don't forget, okay?" "If you don't keep the temperature right, they die." "I'm looking for the bathroom." "Come here." "How do you like that school?" " You came from Ciudad Real?" " Yes." "Don't you want to give me a kiss?" "You've been running." "I brought you something." "Do you behave in school?" "Are you a good boy?" "If you do well in school, I'll take you on vacation this summer." " Did you get here this morning?" " Yes." "Okay, now let me sleep." "I'm very tired." "It smells like mothballs." "Hands off!" " What time is it?" " It's 4:00." "You know that." "Where are you going?" "You just have to be very careful with the chickens." "Here." "The other day, we caught him eating the chicken feed." "Finish up." "We have to go to the tailor." "You can't be late for school." "Why won't she leave me alone?" "Grandpa used to do it, but he would break everything." "He hasn't been out in two months, and he's always asking the time." "In the mornings, he drinks wine." "Your sister is out of mourning, but your mother isn't." "I don't feel like seeing my family." "I can't get away now." "I have to rest, get my energy back." "Maybe in a few days." "Amador, come here for a moment!" "We're going to Manolo's shop, don't you remember?" "Your old store clerk, from when I was there." "He'll sell to you at wholesale prices." "You haven't been here since June." "They're from the sewing machine." "It broke down." "Today they're playing a Sophia Loren movie, El Cid." "Yes... yes, I've seen it." "I'll never be able to marry her." "She disgusts me." " You like it?" "It'll look great on you." " Mother!" "I'm missing a tie." "Your brother-in-law didn't mention you earlier." "I just got here." "They still don't know yet." "Is this your first time in here?" "How do you like it?" "It's very modern." "It's a small shop, but it's in a good location." "Your sister was very good to me in the beginning." "Although we're competitors now, we still keep in touch." "Manolo, I'll go show Amador the back room, okay?" "Don't forget the years I spent with you." "Most people would forget." "Come on, Amador." "I'll show you how nice it is." "Look, that's your sister's house." "Of course it's much smaller than yours, but I'll bet it's nice." "If you hadn't been so foolish now you'd have a home like theirs." "I think Manolo's going to rent the second floor." "This guy sure has done well for himself." "Think about the law firm you could start in that house." "There aren't many lawyers around here." "You'd have all the clients to yourself." "I know what I'm doing..." "and I'm fine where I am." "That's my business." "I already know that." "It's clear from how rarely you visit." "You could at least be a little sensitive." "Don't talk nonsense, Julia!" "We could've made out so well." "You should've come here!" "Nobody remembers that thing anymore." "We're past the worst of it, and your mother wants to forgive you." "Julio's starting to realize what's going on..." "Do you see?" "Don't you see it's better for everyone?" "Don't you understand?" "God, you're like a child!" "What are you going to Málaga for?" "Don't you realize you need love?" "You're all driving me crazy!" "I came here to rest!" " Father, do you like it?" "I do." " Yes, yes." "Of course." "Will you be with us for long, Mr. Amador?" "A few days, or a few weeks." "Manolo, how much for the suit and everything?" " Look, Manolo." "I've reconsidered." " Calm down, Julia." " My son doesn't need any clothes!" " You'll make a scene." "We don't need any charity!" "Fine." "Do whatever you want!" "Got that?" "We don't need any charity!" "Show your face!" "I know you heard me!" "Think you'll just leave me like this?" " No, calm down." "I didn't mean to offend you." " You didn't mean to?" "You're ashamed of me!" "You only want women with money!" "Do you think we'll always stay hidden like in your store?" " Are you still afraid of your mother?" " Calm down, Julia!" "Don't make a scene." " The boy's watching!" " Who does that bastard think he is?" " Let me go, Manolo!" " I don't know what you expected of him." " Leave me alone!" " Let him go." "Come out, you coward!" "Are you afraid of me?" "Handsome men are all the same!" "You think I'll settle for you showing up once a year?" " You're not a man!" " Leave me alone." "I'm tired." "You came for the money, but you'll leave with just your shirt!" "You think you can just visit once a year to buy your son a suit?" "Now you're afraid of your mother!" " You've always been a spoiled brat!" " Leave me alone, Julia." " For God's sake, Julia." "Let's go." " Take a look at yourself!" "Keep hiding like always, you useless coward!" "They were right to throw you out!" "It serves you right!" "I have to leave today." "In Torremolinos, I have to find an American woman." "Even if she's ugly, I'll marry her and inherit her fortune." "With money, I'll be able to rebuild my life." "Did you not sleep?" "You're getting wet." "You smoke already?" "Just don't overdo it." " Don't you ever play soccer?" " No." "You should get more fresh air." "I've been waiting for you, Amador." "Why didn't you come see me?" "I've known you were here since this morning." "You could've saved yourself a lot of trouble." "You know I'm alone at the shop." "If you came and talked calmly, everything would be sorted out now." "You'll sleep at our place tonight." "Come on, your sister is waiting for you in the car." "Come on, man!" "You know we're hoping to see you." "Don't worry, Sergio." "I'm leaving." "How could you say that?" "Of course I'm going to worry!" "Think it over a bit, man." "Leaving won't get you anywhere." "No, Sergio." "I'm leaving." "I was the first to defend you, but I don't understand you now." "They already told your mother." "Sergio, we've always gotten along." "Is he coming or not?" "I already told your husband that I'm leaving." "Don't you want to come see Mom?" "Come on, Sergio." "Are you coming?" "Come on, Sergio!" "That's enough!" " Hold on, wait." " I'm not waiting any longer." "I told you he was useless!" "I was sick and none of you cared!" "Come on, Amador." "You know you didn't have anything." " Where are you having dinner?" " I don't know... wherever." "Do you need money?" "If you want something from me, you know where you can find me." "Go on, Julio." "Go away." "Come here." "Give me a kiss." "Wait." "Here." "Tell your mother to buy you a suit." "If it rains, will the planes leave?" "It depends." "They might take off and return like yesterday." " Where are you headed?" " Málaga." "As you know, you can come here two hours before departure." "Otherwise, you have to be at the airport at 6:00." "Can you cancel the ticket?" "If you do it five hours beforehand, there's a 95% refund." "If you do it an hour beforehand, the refund is 20%." "Aren't you scared?" "I didn't go to school." "You should've seen all the commotion!" "She had one shoe off." "I saw her feet." "That's how she was, you know?" "Look, lipstick!" " I found it over there." "It was the dead woman's." " This is ridiculous." "That policeman is coming to arrest me." "I should've gone directly to Torremolinos." "If I hadn't been so sentimental, I'd already be there by now." "No, they can't know it was me." "I have to hide and see if he leaves." " Hello, Aunt Aurora?" " This is the manager." " Tell her I want to talk to her." " She's not here." "Please tell her I'm going to Málaga." " To where?" " To Torremolinos." "To the Costa del Sol." "I get off at 7:00." "I might go up a little after." "Goodbye, sir." "Goodbye." "He's still looking around." "I can't let them catch me like an idiot now." "I have to get to the plane." "I'll be able to think and rest there." "The newspapers don't say anything." "He's outside." "No!" "I won't let him get me!" "Ladies and gentlemen, you may unfasten your seatbelts." "[Same message, in French]" "Ladies and gentlemen, you may unfasten your belts." " If you're overawed, close the shade." " No, that won't be necessary." "Don't be ashamed." "It happened to me my first time too." "Tuberculosis is an illness that does wonders for your looks." "Take this and we'll sort out the rest." "The maid will be right up to put some paper in your armoire." "You won't need it here." "We guarantee 360 days of sun a year, all without ants!" "Don't turn on the heating." "You can use the shower downstairs." "The bathroom doesn't work." "If you had come when you wrote me..." "Look." "Once these are finished this summer, they'll be our deluxe rooms." "When will the maid come up?" "If you want, I'll call her right now." "I'd rather she wait until I leave." "Don't worry." "We're at your service." "Thank you." "You have to come back this summer." "If you want, I'll book you a room." ""What about the electricity?"" "That's what foreigners say." "I'd rather have Spaniards here." "This morning, they had me check five outlets." "All five were fine!" " Do you need another chair?" " No, no." "No chairs." "Just have the maid bring up towels." "You'll have everything tonight." "And don't forget:" "we need to have a drink together." "Oh!" "Tomorrow you might have a new neighbor." "Those rooms are in worse condition than this one." "That's the good and bad part about Torremolinos." "My scrape is healed up now." "How do you like the town?" "The old part is really nice." " What can I get you?" " The same." "Pepe, I'll have the same too, with gin." "Have you introduced her to him?" "It seems Spain is becoming the strongest tourist power in Europe." "All the tourists that went to Italy now go through Portbou." "France isn't what it once was." "Some day Morocco might give us some competition." "Like I said, she's a drunk." "Go with her." " It's a shame." " I've put up with her all winter." "If her daughter comes late, she won't even recognize her." " She has a daughter?" " She's as tall as her." "Mr. Pedro, don't have her drink more." "She can't go on like this." "I've carried her a few times, but I always had help." "She's harmless today." "Let her be." " That's not true, Mr. Pedro." " Let her walk it off." "It's for her own good, but I couldn't care less." "Besides, I think she's pretty amusing." "If she comes and bothers you, it's best to ignore her." "We're just used to it, sorry." "She must be gaining strength to see if she really killed Kennedy." " Want a cigarette?" " No, no, it's okay." "Pedro, don't give her the wallet!" "Hey!" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "Come on!" "Let's have a dance everybody!" "Come sit with us." "Or do you not want to?" "Come here." "My money is mine." "Mine!" "Mine, it's mine!" "Mine, mine!" "Bring me the wallet." "She has no daughter." "She's fooling you all." " Hey, I saw a photo!" " Don't let her get it." "I'm not sloshed!" "I was the Lone Gunman." "I'm not giving it to you." "You've had enough already." " Hey, is this really your daughter?" " It's my daughter." "This is what I do with my daughter." " What do you want?" " Gin." " Straight?" " Yeah, yeah, straight." "You guys don't think I killed Kennedy either?" "A cognac." "Uncle Sam is on my tail again." "You don't believe me?" "Then why did I come to live here?" "You don't understand anything." "Why'd you rip the photo, lady?" "Just give her the wallet and if she drinks, she drinks." "Are you in a hurry?" " It's a shame." " And she's not bad-looking at all." "Does she live in the hotel?" "I don't know, but the other waiter does." "If she's not careful, she's sure to get into trouble." "Ketty, the wallet." "I killed Kennedy." "You're going to get sick." "This isn't for you." "You shouldn't drink like this." "Who are you?" "Ma'am, do you need something?" "If you get your forehead wet, you'll feel better right away." "You're going to catch pneumonia!" "Come here." "Pull my dress up." "It got wet." "In reality, the one I wanted to kill was Jackie." "I studied in Boston with her." "It's better over here." "Why don't you come in?" "Who are you?" "Do you know me?" "Come here." "Your name is Ketty." "Oh!" "I dropped a dollar." "Ow!" "Now it's starting to hurt." "Let's go or you'll feel worse." "Come on, use the handkerchief." " You'll feel better in no time." " It's no good!" "It doesn't help!" "They gave the wallet to the waiter." " Want me to come with you?" " It's my liver!" "Oh, an earring!" "Hey!" "Why don't we do something?" "What do you want us to do?" "You're tired." "If you want, we can go to my hotel." "Want me to help you?" "Do you live alone?" "If you live alone, I'll come with you in case you need help." "Let me use the handkerchief on you." "Do you live in your own home or in a hotel?" "Your husband's in America, right?" "What'll we do?" "Want to come to my hotel?" "Do you know how to ride a horse?" " What's your name?" " Me?" "Fernando." "You don't think I killed Kennedy either, do you?" "Why did you rip the photo of your daughter?" "Of course I think you killed him!" "You killed him and I'm glad you did." "Why don't you tell me where you live?" "We can't stay here..." "all night long." "I'd like to hear about you and your daughter too." "What are you doing?" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on." "Come on!" "Hey... my bottle." "It's mine." "Miss!" "I have to hide this knife." "I drank too much." "That old woman was horrible." "Hey!" "Are you there?" "Can I come in?" "Did you fall asleep?" "I brought your change from that bottle of Black Label." "If you keep looking in the mirror, you'll end up seeing the devil." "I'm going down to the beach." "After a night of drinking, it's best to go for a swim." "Out of the way, please." "Come on!" "Don't make me use force." "Move it!" " What happened?" " One was in the water." " So what happened?" " As usual, someone was drunk." " Who was it?" " A woman." "They pulled her car from the water." "These foreigners mix up the pedals." "She must've forgotten to brake." "Don't come through here!" "Hey, over here!" "It's me!" "Don't you recognize me?" "I'll bet you thought I'd left, didn't you?" "Did you find a hotel?" "I haven't seen you in town." "No, of course not." "I sleep at the campgrounds." "I didn't shake your hand because mine is wet." "It doesn't matter." "Mine is too." "Leave the clothes here." "It's getting chilly." "THE WHITE NILE" " Why'd you get out of the water?" " The water wasn't cold." "I haven't seen any other swimmers, although the sun is blazing." "Good, they'll think we're crazy." "There." "You didn't tell me you came alone." "Just relax!" "Why don't you loosen up?" "I think we're the only two Spaniards on vacation." "They're Americans." "Very nice." "They stay at my hotel." "But didn't you just say you stay at a campground?" "Hah!" "And you believed me?" "This won't be any use if you don't shave your legs, dear." "If you'd seen how scared you looked when we were landing...!" "Are you really that afraid of flying?" "So how will you back to Madrid?" "They could get me a job." "If you only knew about my hotel...!" "You have to come see it." "It's like a sanctuary." "But if I'm not careful, I'll end up at the campground." "Do you know who they are?" "He's a colonel at the base in Torrejón." "They've been here at least six months." "May I read this?" "There's nothing to read." " You should be better." " I hope so." " Do you need any help?" " No thank you, we're going." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Are you better?" " Oh yes." "Thank you, Laura." "Your name is beautiful." " Playing alone, I get bored." " Thank you." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "What I enjoy most is watching them eat." "All vegetables." "Three different plates of vegetables." "They invited me to dinner tonight." " Do you understand them?" " Yes, but they don't understand me." "Why don't you have dinner with us?" "That way I'll be less bored." "I don't speak English." "Besides, I get dinner at the hotel." " His name is Fernando, right?" " Who?" " The guy from Valladolid." "It is Fernando, but I don't like what you did at all." "I only read the address." "Excuse me." "They already tried to sell me two." " How much was that one?" " Don't know." "I've had it for two years." "They're really cheap here." "Aren't you cold like that?" "I'm going to put my bathrobe on." "Will you get it for me?" "Uh, excuse me." "With that wet bathing suit on, you'll catch a cold." "I'm as dry as I'll get in this sun." "What are you usually doing now in Madrid?" "Not a word about Madrid." "I'm here to rest and forget everything." " What'll you do tonight?" " I told you, dinner with that couple." "But I figure they'll go to bed early." "You're not coming for dinner, so how about coffee?" "Sure." "Look at that tower." "It belongs to the hotel." " How much is it per day?" " A fortune." "I got tired of looking, and the campground is so far away." " And who recommended it to you?" " The guy from the postcard." " So who did you think recommended it to me?" " I don't know." "He's my brother." "He's in military training in Valladolid." " Is he older than you?" " Well, yes, but I'm 29 now." "My brother and I aren't even similar in age." "How old do you think I am?" "Much younger than him." "Who do you live with in Madrid?" "My mother says if my brother gets the scholarship to Germany and I marry, she'll move to the house in El Escorial." "So your sister's married?" "Why doesn't your mother come with you?" "It's silly for you to live alone." " If you were in Madrid, I'd understand." " Why go on vacation in February?" "It's the slowest time of the year for my company." " And what do you do there?" " Oh, didn't I tell you?" "I do stenography in two languages." "It's very important work." "Get some tea before it gets cold." "I'll be right out." "Did you hear me?" "Go get a cup and pour me one too." "Some day I want to go to Gibraltar." "I've heard you can see it all in just a few hours." "I'll buy one just like it." "Ladies and gentlemen, in a few moments we'll land at Barajas Airport." "What are you doing?" "You can go in and comb your hair now." "You sure are nosey." "So who cooks your meals?" "I was at Cuenca for Holy Week and I got bored of the hotel food." "It was horrible." "How do you get along with your mother?" "That's all Spanish women talk about!" "What do they care if I live alone?" "My mother likes to, but my brother won't indulge her." "Do you think there might be a room available?" " Did something happen?" " No, it's nothing." "I must've gotten too much sun." "What's that music?" "Oh, didn't I tell you?" "It's the funniest thing in the hotel." "Didn't you see an electric organ in the lounge on the way in?" "They brought a man from Belgium just to play it." "It's my mother." "What are you laughing at?" "The photo in the bathroom." "You knew that already." "Do you not like flight attendants?" "All us Iberians spend the summer in Torremolinos." "I've run into a few people I know." " Is the home yours?" " Yes, and we've got two more." "I don't get along with my family." "I haven't seen my mother in a long time." "This hotel is much better than mine." "Do they always play music now?" " So you're feeling better?" " Yeah, I'm over it." " It's that sun!" "My father and grandfather were doctors, and now my brother is too." "Would you like some?" "Tell me before I throw it away." "No, no thanks." "Keep getting ready." "Look!" "The American couple just gave me this." "Ugh, they've been at it all day." "It's a real nuisance." "I'll definitely come for coffee tonight." "And are you still living in the same place?" "Yes, I practice law there." " Your father, you said he passed away?" " Yes, three years ago." " Don't go away yet." " Yes, sir!" " He's the one from the case with the foreign woman." " Yeah, I know." "Yes." "This is Pascual." "We still haven't received our bonus." "I'll tell the sergeant." "Don't worry." "See you later, bye." "She slept here like a rock for two days." " Were you familiar with her car?" " No." "Two cars of that size couldn't fit in our lot, and her older one was much larger." " Will I be here a while?" " No, they just need your statement." "They already found her dead?" "She didn't even give us time to take her to Málaga." " Do you like that?" " It's not mine." "The Japanese ones are the best." "It seems like foreigners are taking over the Mediterranean." " Did I give you back your ID?" " Oh no, thanks." "It's best if you let us know if you leave." "It's a procedural thing." "You'll have to sign here." "I'll read it to you." "Amador Salazar Martínez." "Native of Guadalajara." "Adult." "Profession:" "Lawyer." "Identification card..." "My best years were in the service." "They let you grow a mustache." "Sergeant." " I'll tell my wife not to expect you for dinner." " Go on, go on." "He declares he didn't know the American, Katherine Turner, and had no relationship to her." "And finally, he states that on the night of February 5th, he saw her highly intoxicated at the bar "The Parrot"." "Is that correct?" " Do you plan to remain at the same hotel?" " Yes." "It's in case complications arise with the consulate." " May I leave?" " Yes, yes, good night." "Good night." " Hand it over." " No, don't take the cat." " Just let me hold it." " But it's not mine, miss." " What are you doing?" " Just for a moment." "Please!" "Laura's waiting for me." "I can't go now." "I'm too nervous." "It seems like the police still don't know anything about me." "I was right to get rid of the knife this morning." " Here are the chicks." " Take them and leave me the cage." " I want an explanation." " An explanation?" "Yes, explain to me how I go about taking the chicks with me." "You carry them in your pocket, and you leave me the cage, since it's mine." "Get out of here, and don't drink so much!" " An explanation!" " It's bad for you!" " If your wife comes, then you'll see!" " I can't believe this guy!" " He says the cage is his." " But it's mine!" "The saddest part is he didn't even give an explanation." "A complication with the consulate is bound to come up." "And now I can't leave here without permission." "Meanwhile, they'll find out everything." " Okay, how about I get you a glass of beer?" " Sure." "When I passed through Málaga, I should've seen Jesús." "My aunt was right." "He could help me." "Want a bit of tortilla too?" "Sure." "A MAN STABS AN 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN LAS PALMAS" "They must've realized I was nervous at the station." "And this thing won't shut up!" "I have to calm down." "Nobody knows anything." "They can't know anything." "What about Laura?" "I should've called her." "I'm cold." "Be brave!" "Steal the cage!" " May I make a call to Málaga?" " There's no phone." "It's still raining." "I shouldn't have gone swimming." "I've got a fever." "You're the first fly of the season." "If I could, I'd bring you with me to Ciudad Real." "Do you know why the police won't let me leave, fly?" "They have me under their thumb." "Have you ever bitten the American woman?" "Well done, fly." "Because if you had then you'd find yourself in the same situation as me, fly." "Do you have any laundry?" "Come here, drop them in the pot." "Now bring me the towel from the bathroom." "Okay." " There are two here." " Get the larger one!" "Here." " It's heavy, isn't it?" " Get my pants over there." "Put your hand in the pocket." "Check it for change." "I found 7 pesetas." " There are tiles in the hall." "Want me to get you one?" " Get two." "Tomorrow's my birthday." "Nobody will find out if I'm in bed." "I'll turn 39 at 3:00 in the morning." "These are the biggest ones." "You're very sick." "You're still there?" "There's a rat in the bathroom." "Well of course." "What else would there be?" "May I come in?" "Come in, Laura." "Are you really sick or is it an excuse for not coming the other night?" "That poor old couple waited until 12:00, two hours past their bedtime." "You could've called me yourself instead of sending that man three times." " Are you really that alone?" " You all waited until 12:00 for me?" "You're a little hoarse." "Have you had a high fever?" "Was the bed in the hotel, or did you have to bring it yourself?" "Oh!" "This mattress is softer than mine." "You still haven't seen the bathroom." "The bathtub is better too." " I figure you didn't swim yesterday." " I still had a lot of fun." "Know who I was with?" "The organist." "And you never thought to call me." "It was really hard to find where you were." " Didn't I tell you?" " No, but it's all the same." "I'd like to play dead and frighten her." "I bought some lovely postcards..." "of Torremolinos." "You can have any of them." "I'm not sure it was a good idea to grant women freedom." "Americans were the first to do it, and now look at them." " I don't think it'll rain." " You know, you have very pretty legs." " Is that what you were thinking?" " Laura, please plug in my hotplate." "It sure is a nice bathroom." " Is it hot enough for you?" " What do you think?" "I'm not surprised you got sick." " Is it the flu?" " Yes, I think so." " Want me to bring you any medicine?" " No, I'm fine." "It's always like this." "Know what would warm you up more?" "I'll show you." "Here, amuse yourself." "Put the tiles on your feet later." "Look at this!" "I sure don't get this at my hotel!" "I'm sure it's you." "Don't try to trick me." "The same look, the same nose, the same legs." " Laura, put it back!" " Is it really you?" "Amador at 11 months... 1926." " Give it to me." " You look like my cousin!" "You're so chubby!" "Just look at your postcards." "Get under the covers or you could get worse." "You're cuter now, but don't get cocky." "Okay, that's enough." "Your feet are as cold as ice!" "They're like a child's feet." "You're all set up now." "I might come visit this afternoon." "But... you're going already?" "Oh, didn't I tell you?" "I'm meeting Pierre, the organist." "You can keep the postcards." "I'll be back in a bit." "I feel like kissing her." "If I didn't have a cold, I'd kiss her." "I might infect her." "I like Laura." "What are you looking at?" "You think you'll make me nervous like you did this morning?" " Are you cold?" " Yes." "Well, just wait." "The room has to air out." " You knew about my sweet tooth?" " Well, I knew you didn't smoke." " Did you swim this morning?" " Yes, but in the hotel pool." " Didn't you get bored?" " No, I'm having a lot of fun." "I never get bored." "I've got a lot of friends." "So can you hear the organ from the pool?" "It depends." "If the organist is in the pool with me, you can't." "You've got gray hairs!" "I see two above your ear." "What I've got are the chills!" "Close the window, my feet are freezing!" "Do you know that I was right about to kiss you?" " And why didn't you do it?" " You wouldn't have let me." "I really doubt you would've dared to." "I'm spraying the room and bed with a little cologne, because you all smell like sick people." "Did you get upset?" " Over that nonsense?" " I don't think it's nonsense." "It depends on how you take it." "Okay, that's enough." "I have to go at 7:00." "If you want, I'll tell the maid to buy you Redoxon." "For this kind of thing, Vitamin C really helps." "I used one of your postcards." "Would you mail it on your way out?" " Have you been smoking for long?" " Yes, a long time." "You think it makes you elegant." " What?" "You're leaving already?" " You're being very unpleasant." "I don't know why you're surprised I'm leaving." "Forgive me, Laura." "Don't go." "I didn't mean to upset you." "Stay until 7:00." "Don't leave me." "It's not about forgiveness." "I've never liked being toyed with." "We're like two children." "Could you stay until 7:00?" "How can you not have an ashtray?" "Hey, how do you know English?" " Weren't you snoring when I got here?" " That's not true." "It'd be a first." "What are you doing?" "Aren't you going?" " Are your feet still cold?" " Yes, of course." "Now you see I'm not afraid of you." " What are you doing?" " Wait, you've got very nice ankles." "What's wrong?" " Is that what you wanted?" " Yes." "You've got very delicate feet." "These nylon socks don't suit you." "Buy yourself linen ones." "Have you taken your temperature this afternoon?" "Come on, make a spot for me." "Have you ever dated seriously?" "You don't want to say." "I have... have you?" "Three years ago, I was about to get married." "I loved him a lot." "I think he loved me too." "He was a doctor." "I translated medical journals for him." "That's how I know English." "Five years." "When you've been with someone you love for so long..." " What are you thinking about?" " Nothing." "It was nothing." "It's still light out." "It's nicer in here like this." "If I decided to, I could marry her." "We could go abroad and I could remake my life." "This time I told them to really bleach it for you." "Good afternoon." " Come here." " You'll get up tomorrow, then?" "Because it's really nice out today." "Men can't keep still in bed for even a moment." " How old are you?" " Seven." " What are you eating?" " Heart of palm." " What's that?" "Miss, you'll get dirty." "Put her on the floor." "Do you go to school?" "That's what I'd like, for her to spend the day at school." "Get down, come on." "She's more affectionate with kids than I am." "I should've treated my son better." "I wonder what he's doing now." "Ow, I burned myself!" "I can barely see you." "Miss..." "Will you take this man, here present, for your lawful husband according to the rite of our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church?" "I will." "Will you accept her as your partner and wife?" "I will." "Will you take him as your partner and husband?" "I will." "Ow!" "The sun is hotter than ever, but the water is still cold!" "Maybe it'll be my turn to spend a few days in bed." "Would you know how to take care of me?" "Would you make me better?" "You'd have to be much nicer to me." "Here, come lie down." "A friend of mine says she knows 30 different ways to kiss." "Yeah, she's oh-so clever!" "You old fox, you've got too many crow's feet." "My vacation's ending, and I have to go back to work." " You work because you want to." " Do you not like work?" "If I had money like you, I'd try to avoid work." "Then what would you do all your life?" "Ugh, this again!" "It's so uncomfortable!" "Remove it with oil later." "I don't understand why they allow this at an international beach." "It happens all along the coast." "It's because of Rota, the American base." "I have very little money left." "Without money, we can't go abroad." "Will you help me?" "Would my mother like Laura?" "Bikinis don't suit Spanish women." "My sister would never wear one." "What am I going to do?" "I don't see what's so fun about this beach." "Do you love me?" "Yes." "Laura." "What?" "I'm very happy." "Really?" "Really." "Me too." "I'd marry you." " And you, would you marry me?" " Don't you think I would?" "We seem like a couple, but couples commit to one another." " But why now?" " Everything might get ruined." "The thing is, I like being with you." " Were you at your aunt's house in Madrid?" " Yes." " And how was that?" " She's like a mother to me." "But ever since I left home, I haven't seen her much." " Doesn't it smell like food?" " No." " It does." " Maybe it's the smoke." "Yeah, it smells like stew." "Want me to tell you about my life?" "I've been waiting all week to hear about it." "No, no, I'd rather not tell you." "You wouldn't understand." "Yeah, you're right." "Someone's cooking something." "I have to tell her everything." "She loves me and she'll understand." "I can't deceive her." "This is my last chance." "It's a stew." "I'm sure of it." "I don't see any gray hairs on you." "Do you dye them?" "Now you're a pleasure to be around." "This morning there was a moment when you scared me." "I need a glass of gin." "You smoke a lot." "No I don't." "I bought this pack yesterday." "Do you know that Pierre is protestant?" "Who?" "The musician from the hotel." "Is that what you two talk about?" "Have you converted him?" "I don't talk about those things with men." "So what will you do when you get back to Madrid?" "I'll stay there." " Goodbye!" " Bye, my love!" " Long live the band!" " Long live Torremolinos!" " Right on, cousin!" "Where have you brought me, Amador?" "I can't explain it, but I'm really happy." "You know I have a son, but I'm not married." "The show's starting." "I'll be right back." "Gin." "Are you feeling sick?" "No, no, it's nothing." "It'll pass." " Do you need the chair?" " No, don't bother." "You can have the chair." "You'll feel worse in here." "It's very stuffy." " Want an aspirin?" " No, thanks." "It's like a summer night." "Won't you get sick again?" "Hear that?" "It must be a boat." "Since you insisted on coming, could we at least go for a walk?" "Did you know you can't swim at night at the beach in Castelldefls?" "It's strange." "A few days ago, I was at the beach in Acapulco." "I'm really happy." "I was very lucky to find you." "The first day I got here, I thought I'd have a bad time." "At least I thought I'd be alone." "I feel very comfortable with you." "But I think you need..." "a man who's not like me." " Okay, but..." " Believe me, Laura." "It's true." "Why are you saying that now?" "I'm a failure." "You know I don't care about that." "We've talked about that many times." "Besides, I don't believe it." "Thank you." "Let's go, Laura." "What's wrong now?" "We're fine right here!" "Don't yell." "Come on, the police are here." " Yeah, so what?" " Come on, please." "What's with you, Amador?" "Why are you afraid of them?" " Laura." " What?" "Look, the truth is I'm not in love with you." "I can't fool you." " It'll be better for you." " What will?" "We can't get in trouble for being on the beach." " Look, let's go." " What's wrong, Amador?" " Let's go." " Oh sure, whatever you say." "Let's keep calm, it's better." "Look, Amador." "It's over." "I don't understand you." "What'll be better for me?" "Because..." "I really don't know." "Come on... tell me!" "Calm down, Laura!" "Don't shout." "Why is it better for me?" "I think it's just better for you!" "I don't get you." "I've spent all this time trying to understand you, but I just can't!" "Laura, please." "I'm doing it for you." "If you didn't like me, you could've said so the first day." "Don't shout." "You're not saying anything!" "Say something to me!" "Explain yourself!" "What... what are you?" "You can't do this to a woman!" "Why did you say you love me?" "You had to say it!" "You had to humiliate me!" "No, it's not that." "Please." "Just say something to me." "Say something!" "Are you just going to leave me like this?" "What happened between us, don't think I do that every day." "You disgust me." "Yes, Ms. Laura Egea." " Do you know the room number?" " No." "One moment." "They'll end up finding out." "WIDOW KILLED BY HER BOYFRIEND   They'll end up finding out." "WIDOW KILLED BY HER BOYFRIEND  I have to find Laura and convince her to leave right away." "I have to find Laura and convince her to leave right away." "The sergeant said for you to come in right now." " He's out there." "It's about another matter." " Now?" "Well, yes." "He said for you to come now, before lunchtime." "Hello, sir?" "Ms. Egea checked out this morning." " She didn't leave a note?" " Sorry, sir, but Ms. Egea isn't here anymore." "She checked out this morning." "A construction worker is in your room." "He went to get water." "The policeman is waiting for you at the door." "Here, your knife." "Tell him you haven't seen me." " Is the construction worker gone?" " Yes, sir." "Do you want a present?" " Okay." " You'll be very pretty when you're older." "Thank your mother for me." "I need money, Jesús." "How much can you lend me?" "You need to start thinking about a Swiss bank, to put away the millions you're going to make here." "What do you plan to do with Julia?" "You think I'm a fool?" "Your aunt wrote me about it." " Well, will you lend me the money?" " What about the boy?" "Look, as a friend, I'll do whatever:" "introduce you to clients, and help however I can, but I can't give you any money." "You still owe me the 50,000 that I lent you that time before." "If you want, you can sleep at my house tonight." "I don't need to." "I've got a hotel room." "Hey, Amador, enough already." "I'm running late." "7:00 at the usual café, okay?" "Mr. Jesús!" "Mr. Jesús, your car is parked illegally!" "There's a policeman down there." "Want my husband to move the car?" "Good evening." " Are these seats taken?" " No, no, the car's empty." "You'll be better off next to the window." " It's all the same to me." " The heat's better over here." "No, make yourself comfortable." "It doesn't bother me." " Are you going to Madrid too?" " No." "Will you sleep?" "I can turn out the light." "I find it impossible to sleep on trains." "The light is up there." "Doesn't the door bother you?" "If you want to sleep, I'll wake you later." "Where's your stop?" "The cold has to bother you." "The same fixations as my sister!" "Your watch is fast." " Where are we?" " The next town is Manzanares." "We're in the province of Ciudad Real." "There's dust on your jacket." "Turn and I'll remove it." "No, no, it's not necessary." "I'll show you it's fast." "Here, let's check it." "Oh, how silly of me!" "I forgot to wind it." "If the fumes don't bother you, I'll close the flue more." "We still have two more months of cold left." "Now, if I had a lung problem, I'd spend three years in a sanitarium, while things got sorted out for me." "Besides, it's a nice, clean illness." "You cough, but only in the morning." "Paying patients hardly spend any time in bed." "You can lead a normal life." "We're a... a family." "When death comes in a sanitarium, it's a great relief." "This time I could keep a diary." "I'd leave it for my son." "I'd like to die now." " Hey, it's 8:00." " Bring up a glass of water, please." "May I take your tray?" "No, wait." "Bring up some water." "I don't feel fear." "I need to be alone for a few days." "It was Laura's fault." "And in Guadalajara, it was Julia's fault." "I didn't even manage to see my mother." "When you have nothing to give, your friends disappear." "The passport." "I have it in Ciudad Real." "I should go to France." "I'm rotting away." "You haven't touched your food." "When is the first train to Madrid?" "Like I said, there are a few, but the next one leaves at 11:00." "May I take it?" "Here, want it?" "It's yours." " Tell your wife I'm really grateful." " Yes, yes." "You've been very good to me." "Thanks, thanks a lot." "This room seems like the one in the sanitarium." "Last night, I dreamed about my mother." "What do I do now?" "I'll go back to my aunt's house in Madrid." "I have to find Laura." "Cheap soap, even if it's fine and smooth will irritate your skin." "Aunt Aurora!" " You can come in now." " Just a moment, one second." "You never stay long." "A day, a night, and it's goodbye." "Nobody could tell you've been to the beach." "You hardly have a tan." "You've always got a train pass." "Why don't you travel by plane?" "I saw you kill it." "You have to give me back that photo you stole." "What photo?" "The one of you in your birthday suit." "Okay... that's enough." "Hurry up." "You still have to help me." "You didn't find a girlfriend, eh?" "Listen, forget about romance." "An attractive lawyer like you deserves a woman with money." "If they catch you again..." "That first time, you got off." "You can thank your mother for that." "Amador, I'm waiting for you to give me a hand." "What are you doing?" " Don't ask me to do the impossible." " I can't do it alone." "Come here, Aurora!" "Don't overthink it!" "It's like pulling off a pillowcase." "I don't even like rabbit." "It tastes like shoe leather." "Why did I come here?" "Instead of calming me down, she's making me more nervous." "Don't move." "It's been doing this for a few days now." "They're fixing some malfunction." "I'll go get a candle." "She reminds me more and more of my mother." "I'm afraid of the dark." "I bet you don't know what this reminds me of." "Remember during the war when you would sleep with us, and we'd cover your eyes, and your Mom caught you peeking and locked you in a room for three days?" "I have a surprise for you." "Look!" "Two tickets for María Guerrero Theater." " Hello?" " Ms. Laura Egea, please." " Who is this?" " Laura!" "It's me, Amador." "It's believed the crime on the train is related to the one in Madrid." "In both, the motives and circumstances are the same: money." "I don't feel like going out to buy bread." "I'm better off without it." " Laura!" " You again." " I need you!" "I want to see you!" " There's nothing for us to say." " We have to talk." "We have to go out tonight." " I can't." " Laura, wait!" "Don't hang up!" "Just a moment." "We can't end it like this." "I'm leaving tonight." " Fine, but it's useless." " Listen, be at María Guerrero at 11:00." " Okay, see you later." " Thank you, Laura." "Wait, why did you want to see me?" "I thought you wouldn't be angry anymore." " You're ashamed of me." " If I were, I wouldn't be here." "We can't end things like this." "I don't think there's much to say." "I haven't forgotten you." " When are you leaving?" " Later." "Are you really upset?" "Laura, I don't want our time in Torremolinos to have been in vain." "You're to blame for that." "Weren't we going to the theater?" "Let's go." "Laura." "I came to tell you goodbye." "I lied to you at the beach." "I am in love with you." "Well, are we going in?" "I have a flight tonight and I have to be at the airport at 3:00." " You're wearing the same perfume as in Torremolinos." " Don't bother me." "Want one?" "... and the fire opens a path through the air." "Martín Frobel!" "Take a break from your labor!" "Before, you were the one who would do it." "I thought you would've changed a little." "Laura, Laura, come here." "Don't leave." "Laura, help me." "Don't leave me, Laura." "Laura, I love you." "I love you." "I love you, Laura." "Laura, you have to believe me." "Laura, Laura!" "Laura." "No, Amador." "We have to end it." "I came today to tell you that." " We won't see each other again." " Laura, no, not that!" "You love me." "No, Amador." "I don't understand you." "It's no use, I'm leaving!" "You love me, don't deny it!" "You can't leave me!" "I love you too!" "I've always loved you!" "Don't leave me alone!" "I need you!" "No, Amador." "There's no use in talking." "Let's just be friends." "What are you doing?" "I only loved you." " What are you going to do?" " Be quiet, Laura." "I would've been happy with you." "I wanted to tell you everything." "Coward... you coward!" "You coward!" "You won't deceive anyone else, you murderer!" "Don't think I'm afraid of you, you creep!" "You disgust me, you bastard!" "You disgust me!" "Captain of the Tercios of Spain." "Magdalena!" "Señor Captain!" "He of the twisted sword, the red cape, and the good sorrel horse." "What should I do now?" "Above all, I need stay put." "Identification number?" "2,165,204." "Blood type?" "Universal donor."
