"TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN" "Go see the director when you're finished." "Okay." "Come in." "Hi." " You wanted to see me?" " Yes, sit down." "The judge has decided there's no reason to keep you here." "He thinks you're ready to join society as" " of today." " Great!" "No need to run away again." "You're free, Ricky." "Even if freedom also means solitude." "I won't be there to protect you." "You'll have to answer for your actions like any other citizen." "Don't worry, I'll manage." " What will you do?" " Get a job, start a family..." "Like any normal person." "You're not a normal person." "The judge says I am." "What does he know?" "There's 50,000 pesetas." "It's for the drawings and the mad passionate moments you gave me." "Thanks." "I promise not to spend them." "Don't be silly." "You'll need money until you find a job." "There's a list of places where you can apply." "Now go, and never come back." "I told you to leave." "First let me thank you for everything." " Running away, are you?" " This time the judge let me go." "I'm fit to join society." "Society!" "I used to belong to a society once." "It was a Gourmet society." "They tried to poison me." "I'd be careful if I were you." "Come here." "Look." "It's free." " What is it?" " The society's membership card." "Cards are always handy." " Any credit cards?" " I'm clean out." "I'm expecting a delivery." "Fine." "See you later." " How much is that?" " Six hundy, darling." "Mom, what's hundy?" " Six hundred, darling." " Hi." "Hi." "I'll be right with you." "Your change." " See you." " Good bye." " What'll it be?" " The heart in the window." " How much is it?" " 500." " My bus!" " You want it wrapped?" ""Barajas Studios."" ""Therapeutical shooting," "Marina Osorio."" "Marina!" "I'm taking off my panties." "They show." "What's worse, showing your panties or your twat?" "By the way, we have a number at the party tonight." "I promised Maximo." " What kind?" " Something sexy." "But nothing complicated." "Like in the old days." " I've forgotten how." " How could you?" "A little tit here, a little twat there." "We'll kill two birds with one stone." "Both Maximo and the producer will be thrilled." "Whatever you say, boss." "Marina..." "I didn't tell you before, but..." "I'm really happy." "Silly!" "Make it last." " You lay it on too thick." " I've got to lay something." "I have to lean on them so we can finish today." "We could sing that one." "This is for you." "Cool." "After my stroke, half of my body was paralyzed." "I thought I'd better hurry and make another film" " before the other half went." " Of course." "Here I am, doing my posthumous work." "But you look so alive in your own electric chair." "I like that, "electric chair"." " Sorry, I didn't..." " No, you're right." "Since I've been stuck in this chair," "I feel hornier than ever." "My wife says I'm regressing into childhood." "She may be right." "After a stroke, you have to learn everything all over again." "How to speak, how to read, to write, to dance, but above all, how to keep on living." "Which, in my case, means making movies." "What a lovely thing to say!" "The knives." "The fake one." " It doesn't fool her." " Sure it does!" "It doesn't!" "These props stink." " What about the couch?" " Later." " Later when?" " Later!" " Have you seen Marina?" " No." "How would you define "Midnight Phantom"?" "I'd say it's a by-product of the horror genre." "Aren't you worried about making your comeback with a by-product?" "I've always wanted to do one." "Marina!" "But I'm afraid it's turning out to be rather personal." "A personal by-product?" "How's that?" "If you put your heart and genitals on the line, it's always personal." "You're known as a women's director." "Genitals remind you of women?" "No, but why choose a porn actress who's known to be a junkie?" "If you want to get out of here alive, don't mention the words "porn" and "junkie" again!" "Hi, Maximo." " Hello." " When do we start shooting?" "The set isn't dressed." " How's your toothache?" " Not so good." "They still haven't brought you an aspirin?" "Carlos!" "Wait!" "You'll wreck the set!" "Come this way." "Jump." "Be careful, you're very fat." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "I promise not to mention "porn" or "junkie" again." "That's better." " Who's she?" " A journalist." " Which scene is next?" " My death." "How will you play dead?" "Good question..." "What should I do when he stabs me on the couch?" "Osvaldo..." "Look!" "Like her." " Osvaldo..." " Don't say "Osvaldo"." " Osvaldo..." " Don't say "Osvaldo"." "Like this?" "She's upset." "Maximo, what scene do we shoot?" " The one with the phone." " And then?" "This is a circus." "How can you concentrate?" "As a kid, I used to work in a real one." "It was a rodeo type of thing." "I had a lasso, and some supposedly wild horses." "I'd round them up, tame them..." " Are you listening?" " Yeah, I am." " What did I say?" " You tamed, lassoed and jumped." "And then, I'd line them up and walk on top of them striking poses, you know?" " And when I..." " Excuse me." "Come and tell me about it." "I ran around in a little short skirt, and my hair came down to my ass." "I wish I'd seen it." " Osvaldo." "Don't you recognize me?" " No." " It's me, Montse." " Montse!" "You've changed!" "I gained a little weight since we split." " You're a lot wider, too." " Yeah." "Right." "Mind if I interview you?" " You're a journalist now?" " And you're an actor?" "Kids, I have to talk you." " Okay, what now?" " Wait." " I have an..." " Maximo, we have to talk." "Excuse me." "My boots!" "The producer's wife likes the couch." "She wants it." " So what?" " It might get splattered in the final slaughter." "Very likely." "It's hard to stab a girl without spilling blood." " You better speak to him." " He doesn't want any blood?" "Sure he does, lots." "But not on the couch." " I'll change the ending." " No you won't!" " I never liked it." " You loved it!" "I'll change it!" " You got the new dialogues?" " In a minute." "Look, I want you to make your movie." "Why should you compromise just because her twat's dripping for the couch?" "Forget it, Lola." "I've got a better ending." "Marina, you won't die." "I'll save you." " No stabbing?" " No." "Too bad." "I was used to the idea." "So now what?" "Can you stand your toothache a little longer?" "Not really." "Why?" "It gives you the perfect expression for the scene." " As long as it's there." " Thanks, love." "He'll be the end of my career." "He's the nicest director I've ever had." "The trouble is, he'd like to be even nicer." "And to top it, you took off your panties!" " So what?" " He sees you, gets inspired, wants to save you, and changes everything!" "Yes?" "Oh, it's you." "No, I feel much better." "Yes, thank the police on my behalf." "Yes, on my behalf." "Not today!" "Tomorrow." "I need to sleep tonight." "Darling, I'm afraid the whole future is ours." "Of course I idolize you." "Give me the gruesome details tomorrow." "Yes, I idolize you." "Good bye, honey." "Good bye." "Get out of there." "I knew you'd come." "You knew even though they told you I had died?" "I knew you wouldn't die without saying good bye." "I'm not here to say good bye, but to carry you away with me." "Where to?" "To a very quiet place where we can be happy." " No." " What?" "First take off your mask." "Show me your face!" "I have no face." "You must have something." "I may as well get used to it if you're taking me away." "You really want to see it?" "Yes!" "I can't." "Look at my body, it's full of life!" "But my face is that of a corpse!" "You offer me death, but death rarely brings happiness." "Cut!" "That's a wrap." " Go help the actress." " Hold on!" "Nobody move!" "My walkman and Osvaldo's money are missing!" " The handcuffs too!" " And several props!" "And my 10,000 pesetas!" "No, I took those." "Give it back and I promise there'll be no reprisals." "I'm responsible for all this!" "I'd love to take things too, but I don't." "You were divine, Marina." " Who did it?" " Relax, Lola." "The movie's done, you won't lose your job." " I guess not." " Let's celebrate." " Who was it?" " Let's have some champagne." "Yeah, alcohol might loosen some tongues." "Don't stare at me." "I'm not." "I admire you." "Well don't." "What's the hurry?" "I'm soaked." "What do you want?" "Nothing." "You wouldn't like it." "Don't tell me, then." " You'll come to the party?" " Sure." "Hi." "Sorry." "Do you have a second?" "Not now, some other time." "Marina!" "Look!" "Look!" "Look!" "Look!" "I won't eat them." " You got keys to my place?" " Of course." " You've lost yours?" " I can't find them." " You're so absent-minded." " See you, Marina." "Speaking of which, I wish you'd come to the party." "I can't." "I don't want to." "I won't discuss it." " Now what?" " My pay." " Where's the car?" " Down there." " I'll get it." " Okay." " What's its name?" " Paquita." "Like my niece." "Show me your hoof." "Poor baby!" "She's got a calk!" " What's that?" " An abcess." " Better unshoe her." " Who'll pull the cart?" "If you don't, gangrene will set in." "Make a plaster with bran and vinegar, stick it on sackcloth and wrap her hoof with it." "Remove it 24 hours later and clean it with iodine." "When it dries, she'll be fine." "Right Paquita?" "Don't let them abuse you." "I mean it, she could die." " Thanks a lot, miss." " Bye." "Good bye." "The young lady's right." "You see?" ""Almond filled chocolates."" "Maximo." " Who is it?" " Pepe, your neighbor." "Hi." "Where are you going?" "Somewhere far away to forget that nightmarish film." "Give my mail to Lola, she's got my address." " Fine." " Marina." "You were absolutely marvellous." " Really?" " You bet!" "I tried to listen to Maximo even when I didn't understand him." "Tell me your secret when I get back." " When's that?" " In a couple of weeks." "Enjoy yourself." " And get laid." " Lf I do, I won't come back." "You'll never change." "Pepe..." "What do you want?" "Relax..." "What are you doing?" "My keys..." "Don't scream!" "I warned you." "I warned her." "I told her not to." "Hi." "Who are you?" "Your attacker." "Does it hurt?" "Goddamn it." "Get out or I'll call the cops!" "I didn't mean to hurt you but you started screaming." "I said get out!" "Shit!" "This looks like a drugstore!" "Bastard!" "You broke my tooth!" "I told you I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "You want to fuck me?" "Go on, get it over with!" "Relax." "We'll fuck when the time comes." "Then what do you want?" "I'll tell you." "Let's lie down on the bed." "Watch the glass." "You didn't let me talk to you." "So I had to kidnap you so you'd get to know me." "When you do, I'm sure you'll love me." "Like I love you." "I'm 23 years old." "I've got 50,000 pesetas." "I've alone in the world." "I'll try to be a good husband and a good father to your kids." "You're the thief?" "You ignored me." "You did the hand-stand." "Yeah, I show off sometimes." "Your face looked familiar." "We'd met before, a year ago, at a bar called "Lulu"." "Remember?" "I'd run away from the hospital." "We met at Lulu's, came to your place and we screwed." "Remember?" "I said I'd come back and protect you." "Many have told me that!" "But I'm here to prove it." "Quit throwing things around!" "Did you like the heart?" "A nice touch." "I know you understand the heaviness of my heart." "But when I'm at your side, my sorrow disappears." "I'll do anything you want, the fault will be all yours." "If my soul waits for you..." "Waits for you again." "She's a sweetie." "How could I ever stand living without you so long?" "How could I ever wait?" "How could I resist?" "I'm alive and you know it, desperate and filled with sadness." "Ever since you left, life has lost its meaning." "I don't get it." "You've taken 4 pills." "Painkillers don't work." "What?" "I was hooked on smack." "When you're used to heroin, painkillers don't do shit." "I had no idea." "Morphine or something would help." "Morphine?" "Where would I find it?" "The doctor who detoxed me could give us something." "We can't go there." "Oh, God!" "What would you say?" ""Here, meet my kidnapper"?" " Of course I wouldn't!" " What then?" "Nothing." "I swear it." "She only lives 3 blocks away." "Please, I can't stand it." "I can't stand it!" "I really can't!" "Besides, it's your fault!" "All right." "If you try to fool me," "I swear I'll kill us both, got it?" "Get dressed." "Go on, get dressed." "You've got a great body." "Don't bother." "I hid all the blades." "Put some make-up on your bruises." "I like being in the bathroom with you, like a married couple going out." "Marina, it's me, Lola." "Get the phone." "You're really something!" "I had to sing on my own." "If we hold hands, the handcuffs won't show." "... wondered about you." "I said you had a toothache." " Who is it?" " My sister." " What does she want?" " I don't know." " ... your old habit..." " Wait." "If you've done something silly, don't worry." "You were doing so well." "All right, darling." "See you tomorrow." "Give me a drink." " What would you like?" " A Dry 100." "I may not like your face, but your ass is another story." " Max!" " Give me a drink." "You've had enough." "Forgive him, Lola." "I never make fun of your paralysis." "Your ass and my paralysis are part of our culture." "That's true." "You were great, Lola." " Thanks." " But we missed Marina." "What's keeping her?" "I just talked to her." "That rain scene made her toothache worse." "He told me all about it." "It sounded lovely!" "Sure, it's great hanging out in the rain with a man named "Horse"." "Lola, please forgive my alcohol-induced aggresion." " You're forgiven." " While I can't stand your face, your tits are something else." "It's true." "We shouldn't have come." "Don't say that." " What if someone's there?" " She lives alone." "But she could have company." "I'll ask her." " Who is it?" " It's me, Marina." "Come in." " Are you alone?" " Like a dog." "Come on up." "All right." "How dare you?" "Don't try anything funny, okay?" "What is it?" "You scared me." "I have a terrible toothache." "What an abscess!" "The daddy of them all." "I'm glad it's just that." " Hi, I'm Berta." " Ricky." "Glad to meet you." "Come on in." "I've taken four Fiorinals, but..." "I warned you that..." "Watch the table." "It has a mind of its own." "After all you sniffed, analgesics are useless." " Give me something strong." " Let me see." "How about Sosegon?" "There's nothing worse than a toothache." " An earache is pretty bad." " What about a colic?" " Never had one." " Well, I have." "Take it for a couple days, no more." "You can get hooked on this, too." "I know you, you're a fiend." "Isn't she?" "Did she hit you?" "I bumped into something." "So did she." "Want a joint?" "No, thank you." "No, thanks." "You look nervous." "Take it easy." " Why are you so nervous?" " I can't stand it!" "It's too much, give me something now." "A shot?" "Yes." "Dolantine should help." "You're such a junkie!" "The babies woke up." "I'll go rock them." " Don't!" " Why?" "Forget it." " I'll go." " You don't mind?" "Your boyfriend's cute." "You haven't taken anything?" "You're acting real weird." "Show me." "It's okay." "Listen!" "You have to call the cops!" " What about the cops?" " Shut up!" "My babies!" "Why did you pick them up?" "I couldn't help myself." "Look at them!" "Mommy." "Don't worry, Marina." "The pain will go away soon." "Marina." "Let's go, Ricky." "What are you looking at?" "I'm here." "Don't fuck around." " Let go of my hand!" " The handcuffs will show!" "There's no one around!" " How can that be?" " Week-end, August, vacation." "The pain's gone." "I can tell by your face." " Want to buy the medicine anyway?" " Yes." "Then hold my hand and shut up." " Someone's ringing." " Let them!" "Someone's there." "I hear moans." "It could be an emergency." "A junkie most likely." "Goddamn motherfuckers!" "Careful." ""No to rheumatism."" "Ma'am." " What is it?" " We need some Sosegon." "I don't have any." " Lady, this isn't a hold-up." " Just in case." "We've got a legal prescription." "Call the doctor if you don't trust us." "I don't have any." "Anything else?" "Yes." "Some duck-tape." " What for?" " Be quiet." "You can find Sosegon in the Chueca plaza." " The pharmacy's open there?" " What pharmacy?" "You buy it on the street." "You can find all the pills you need on the black market." " Wait, there's no rush." " Don't push your luck." " What is it?" " I don't want to go inside." " What do you want?" " For you to let me go." "Impossible." "Marina, be sensible." "You want another broken tooth?" "We're going home." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "And now what?" "I'll take off your handcuffs so you can get comfortable." " What for?" " I'll go get those pills." "You lie down and wait for me here." "Turn around, I don't want you to see me naked." "Sure, sorry." "You don't happen to have some rope or something to hang clothes with?" "What for?" "This will do." "Not enough." "A rope, a cord, or something?" "What will you do?" "Need anything?" "You want to write?" "Or chat?" "Play a game?" "Fine." " Call me if you need me." " Yes." "Years ago, when a bullfighter got top honors, his fans would carry him home." "They'd wait for him to come to the balcony to offer him a final cheer." "I don't know why I'm telling you this." "I suppose because I'm close to the balcony and I'd like for you to be on the street and speak to me." "Marina." "It's Maximo." "I don't know if you have a toothache or what." "You don't want to answer?" "Fine." "But if you're running away from me, tell me why." "Marina..." "Anyway, give me a ring tomorrow." "I'll be either at home or editing." "Bye." "My moustache will fall off." " You got Sosegon?" " No, but I got hash and scag." "The chick on the bike covers pills." "Thanks." "You!" "The one on the bike!" "Got any Sosegon?" "Don't shout, stupid!" "Relax." "I just asked if you had any." " How many do you want?" " Don't know, a few." "My girl's got a toothache." "Let's see some cash." "Look." "There's more." "Wait for me in the square." "I'll be right back." " I told you to wait." " Now that I'm here..." " How many?" " Give me all you've got." "What are you doing?" "Son of a bitch!" " What's this?" " What do you think?" "You're a dead man!" "It's me!" "Look what I brought you." "I bet you'll like it." "She's out cold." "All right." "I'll untie you." "So you don't think I enjoy making you suffer." "Let's see... here." "She's going to wake up..." "Will she or won't she?" "Careful not to touch her cunt..." "That's it." "Don't wake up..." "The gag..." "Better leave it on." "She's got some mouth." "Well." "Let's rest a little." "It's been quite a night." "If you knew how often I've dreamt of lying here with you." "Christ!" "What a hard on!" "I'll jerk off." "Kind of embarrassing with her here, though." "Nah, I'd better sleep." "Yeah." "What are you doing?" "The pain's back." "And you thought maybe the keys would help, right?" "No." "I took the stuff you brought." "Is that how you thank me?" "You dumbshit!" "Can't you see it's a trick?" "That I was testing you?" "How long before you fall in love with me?" "When will you say no one's gonna love you like I do?" "Poor thing." "It's more of a love story than a horror story." " It's hard to tell them apart." " We've got a blockbuster." "What's wrong, Lola?" " Nothing." " You look worried." "I have a hangover." " Have a Bloody Mary." " Good idea." "Order one for me, I'm out of it." " I'll get them." " One for me, too." "Okay." "Anything else?" "I'm off." "The mag stock." "Ask Marina to call me." " What for?" " I need to speak to her." "I'm on my way to her place." " Want me to come?" " No, better not." "Have her call me." "I miss her." "I'll tell her." "Bye." "The washer's rotted." "Breakfast." "What are you doing?" "Hang on, wait." " Sorry." " I have to pee." "All you have to do is tell me." "And if you're gagged, raise your hand." "Do you like the drawing I've made?" "Turn off the tap!" "I was trying to help." " Listen to me." " What?" "I'll never love you!" "Ever!" "Don't say that yet." "I'll never love you." "You clown!" "Who asked you to take care of me?" "Who asked you to protect me?" "Who asked you to be my husband and father to my kids?" "Who did?" "Who asked for your 50,000 pesetas?" "Keep them!" "Spend them on someone else." " Does it hurt?" " Yes." "I'll go out and get some antibiotics and a washer." "A washer?" "Yeah, for the kitchen tap." "I have to tie you up a little." "Lie down, please." "Come on, please." "Sit up, please." " I don't like tying you up." " Well, don't do it." "Shut up." " Want anything?" " Some other tape." "It's skinning me alive." "I'm very upset." "Think a little." "I know you have problems, but try and put yourself in my place." "How would you feel after what you told me?" "After all I did for you?" "I've been mistreated, but never that badly." "Anyway..." "If you can, if it's possible, try to be a little less selfish" "and think a little about others." "Nobody had ever called me a clown." "Ever." ""I'll never love you."" ""Ever."" "We'll see about that." "It's taken." "I'll deal with you later." "Marina!" "Are you there?" "It's me, Lola." "Marina, please." "Papers ones, extra-porous ones for sweaty people, anti-allergic ones, silk ones for parties..." " What is it for?" " You know, for the face." "This one with holes sells pretty well." " It's for your scratch?" " No, it's for a girl." " This one's soft." " It's fine." " I'll take it." " Anything else?" "Yeah, some antibiotics for a bad tooth." "An infection?" ""Marina, how can you disappear without a word?"" "I'm so worried." "If this goes on, I'll have to call the cops." "We wouldn't want that." "I don't care what it is, we can always solve it." "You're what counts." "Call me, honey." "Please call me." "Don't try and fix it on your own." "I'll share any cold turkey with you." "But say something, darling." "Lola." "I've got a surprise." "I'll take the gag off later." "First the surprise." "Don't worry, it's a nice surprise." " Well?" "How do you like it?" " I've been here before." "Careful." "Careful." "There." "Aren't you scared someone will find us?" "That's why we moved." "Who'd look for us here?" "Ricky, I'm not as lonely as you." "I have a job, a family." "Sooner or later, they'll look for me." "We'll leave soon then." "Your sister came." "I didn't want to tell you, but we almost met." "I've got it!" "Call her and tell her you've gone with friends." "That way, she'll stop worrying." " You'll really let me call her?" " Yes." "But just to calm her." "If you try something," "I'll slit your throat." "And then my own." "Marina," "I've got nothing." "Nothing to lose." "Don't touch it!" "Don't mess with the pepper!" "Give it here!" " You're such a pain in the!" " Mom?" " It's me, Marina." " Hi, Marina, how are you?" " Just fine, and you?" " So so..." " Goddamn it!" "Let me be!" " What's wrong?" "Your niece wants to know who I'm speaking to." "Mom, tell Lola I'm not in Madrid." "I'll tell her, don't worry." "I've gone to the country with friends to rest." " Good idea." " What's for lunch?" "Stop it!" "What a brat!" "I'll sure be glad when her mother comes back and takes her away." "Anyway, there's "pisto"." ""Pisto"!" "Very tasty." "I wish I were there." "Don't worry." "I'll put some in the fridge for when you come back." "I don't have a phone here, but I'll call you." "I'll be waiting." "I want to hear from you." " Don't you forget me." " I won't, Mom." " Mom..." " What?" " I..." "I love you a lot." " Me, too." " Take care of yourself." " I will, Mom." " A big kiss." " Bye, Mom." "Why do retired Germans spend their summers in Benidorm while the poor Spanish retirees beg at the entrance of the subway?" "Because German retirees think about the future while they're still young, while Spaniards..." "Spaniards..." "Spanish retirees think of their pension when it's already too late." "Next." "Geribank's Retirement Plan." "Dance your old age away." "What are you plans for the future?" "We'll get married and have 2 or 3 kids." " Two or three kids?" " Or more if need be." "I'm curious." "How will you feed us?" "I'll find a job." "We'll go to Australia, they need people there." "But first, I'll show you my home town." "I haven't been back since I was 3." " Does it still hurt?" " Yeah, kind of." "Can I help?" "I don't know." "Maybe some horse." " It would kill the pain?" " Definitely." " I'll go get some." " Thanks." "Can you help me?" " You don't mind if I see you naked?" " No." "No, I can manage." "I'll tie a soft knot." " Not too tight, please." " This rope's the best." "So is the tape." "I tested it when buying it." "See you later." "Want it open?" "While you wait you can watch the stars." "Man, I think he's pretty worried about the elections." "I'm worried too, man." "I got plenty of problems." "Yeah, but if he ain't worried, then we ain't got nothing to worry about." " You believe that crap?" " Yeah." "Hell, man, I'm working my ass like a slave." " Yeah, but if he wins..." " Got any smack?" "No, but how much do you want?" " The minimum?" " 5,000 pesetas." " All right." " Wait here." "I'll go get it." "I'll be over there." "Wanna bang me for 5,000 pesetas?" "What?" "I wouldn't pay you 5,000..." " 4,000." "In case of herpes." " I said no." "It's not the money." "If I had to pay every time, hell!" "My girl's got a toothache." "She's waiting for me." "I can't..." "What's the connection?" "He's the one who attacked me." " The one with the moustache?" " Maybe he shaved." "I'll check." " You're crazy!" " Maybe, but I won't pay." " So, we meet again?" " Do I know you?" "Don't you?" "You roughed me up last night!" "After him!" "I told you I'd kill you." " What did you find?" " Subway tickets." " 5,000 pesetas." " Toothpicks." "Give me the dough." " We split it." " Like hell!" "He robbed me." " No, you don't." " Take his coat or screw him." " I prefer his boots." " You're on." " Give me the dough." " What about me?" " You had your fun, you sadist." " That's true." "What happened?" "I got attacked and robbed." "Even your boots!" "But why?" "I'm sorry." "I couldn't get your stuff." "Leave it." "I'll do it myself." "Let me help you..." "Those animals!" " This reminds me of my parents." " What?" "My mom used to shave my dad on the porch back home." "It's all I remember." " Does it hurt?" " Not at all." "I can't believe it!" "I don't know where to put my hands." "Wait, wait..." " Listen." " What?" " Should we do it?" " Yes, yes, yes." " We can stop..." " No, no way." "The only thing the bastards didn't touch was my cock." "I'll put it inside." "Don't pull out." " Now I know." " What?" "Now I remember you." "I don't get it." "When you kidnapped me, you said we had done it." "I said I didn't remember." "Well, now I remember perfectly." "I thought it was strange." " Let's move up." " Where?" " Up." " Up." "Don't move." "Stay inside." " Does it hurt?" " I don't know." "Wait." "Don't move." "Don't come." " Don't come." " I'm not!" "Don't laugh, it'll slip out." "Wait, don't move." "Stay inside." "Don't pull out." " I didn't want to wake you up." " What's that?" "A map of my life." " Show me." " Look." "Just imagine my life's a subway line." "First stop:" "Orphaned at three years old." "Orphanage." "I escaped when I was eight." "Reformatory." "More escapes." "Mental hospital at sixteen." " What a career!" " There, I get on well and learn lots of trades." "Locksmith's the best, breaking in and out." "So I ran away every so often but I always came back." "Why?" "I had nowhere to go." "The director, she liked me." "That's why you're such a good lay." "With them it was different." "Were there many directors?" "No, there was only one director." "But lots of nurses." "Now I understand." "Go on." "I escaped a year ago and met you." "That stop changed my life." "All I thought about was you." "Thinking took up all my time and I stopped acting crazy." "The judge came, gave me a test, and said I was normal." "They let me go." "End of the line." "Marina." " You." " Me." "I can't leave her hanging there." "I need another scene..." "Or two." "Someone find Marina, please." "If it's a question of money, I'll pay for it." " What with?" " Money's not the problem," "Maximo." "Everything has a limit." "Perfection is my only limit." "Do I have to remind you of your duty as a director?" "My duty is to warn you the film has no ending!" "Just add "The End"." "I won't discuss anymore." "You're going too far." "I need to talk to you in the bar." "Okay." "Can someone grab the mags?" "Thanks, love!" "Where's your sister?" "Why won't she answer?" "I don't know." "I'll see what he wants." "Go on!" "He might not hire you on his next film!" "If it's with you, I'd rather direct traffic!" "That's enough, Maximo!" " What's he got against me?" " It's not you." "He doesn't want to finish the film because he knows it's his last." " I know he's unbearable..." " I'll say." " He's figthing death." " Yes, but..." "Can't you tell Marina to call him?" " Marina's disappeared." " What do you mean?" "I haven't seen her since the last day of shooting." " You two talked that night." " I lied to you." " Have you called the police?" " Well, no." "You see, the police..." "Well, I prefer no to." "I see." "Do something." "Set the table." "Yes." "Look." "Here's Granadilla, my home town." "Not far from Plasencia." "I'll steal a car tonight." "Not with that face you won't!" "With my balls." "You don't want to go?" "Not in a stolen car, I don't." "We'll take a train, or a bus..." "But we're going." "The pain's gone, right?" " My whole body hurts." " We'll leave tomorrow." "Is that your door?" "You knew it!" "That's why you didn't want to leave!" " I swear I didn't!" " You tricked me, you whore!" "Don't hit me!" "How could I know she had the keys?" "You talked to Pepe!" "You could have guessed it!" " Don't hurt Lola!" " Shut up!" "Hey!" "I'll be right down!" "You blocked me in, lady!" "I heard you, asshole!" "She's gone." "No need to shout!" " I just went up to..." " Smart ass!" "I had a lot of things to do!" " Just get the fuck out of here!" " Watch your language!" "What a rude man!" " Come on, already!" " Hands off my car!" " I'll burn it!" " You will?" " Maybe I'll burn you!" " Like hell you will!" "I won't say what I think of you, because if I did..." "Misogynist!" "We've got to go." "We can't wait any longer." " Whatever you say." " I'll go get a car." " I've got a little money." " We'll need it." " But we also need a car." " Okay." "Will you wait for me here?" " Or will you run away?" " I don't know." "You'd better tie me up." "Tie me up." "This will be the last time." "Shit!" "I forgot the damn radio again!" "Here it is." "I'm wetting my pants." "How strange." "Pepe?" "Is that you?" "Come in, Lola." " What happened?" " I got kidnapped." "Untie me." " Kidnapped?" "But where?" " Here and at home." "Who did it?" "Later." "He'll be back any minute." "The kidnapper?" "Let's go!" "You look awful." "Did you take any dope?" "I'll get my purse." "What about all this blood?" "I'm responsible for all of this." " My walkman!" " Leave it." "I'll buy you another one." "I don't get it." "What is it, Marina?" " I love him." " What?" " I love him." " The man who kidnapped you?" "You're crazy!" "Let's go!" "How can you love someone who ties you up?" "Do you think that's normal?" "It's probably the shock." "No one's that warped." "We'll go up to the roof and into the other building." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "Come on!" "Hurry up, get in!" "The line from Granadilla to Marina." " How do you feel?" " Fine." "I brought you a sleeping pill." "Here." " Thanks, Lola." " All right." "Now tell me all about it." "Don't you trust your sis?" " It's hard to explain." " How did he kidnap you?" "The night of the party," "Pepe rang the bell to say good bye." "When it rang again, I thought it was him." " You shouldn't have opened." " Yeah, but I did." "I screamed and he hit me." "How terrible!" " He didn't mean to, though." " Jesus!" "When I came to, he told me he had kidnapped me so I could get to know him." "He told me he was 23 and had 50,000 pesetas, that he had no one" "and that he'd be a good husband and a good father to my kids." "What a mess!" "He can't hear you." "Go on up." "Marina!" "You came!" "With my sister." "She wants us to live with my family." " Your family?" " And yours from now on." "Come on." " Lola, this is Ricky." " Hello." " This is yours." " Thanks." "Anything else?" " Here." " Is that all?" "No." "Hang on." " I'm sorry about all this." " So am I." "Don't let it happen again." "Mind sitting in the back?" " What about your car?" " I stole it." "I thought so." "Well, someone will take it." "By the way, there's never been a thief in my family." "Come on!" "What about Dad?" "May he rest in peace..." "One was enough!" "Marina says you're a good locksmith." "That, and a plumber, a carpenter." " An electrician, a mason." " Perfect!" "I'll find you a job in no time." "I suppose you don't mind working, do you?" " No." "I want to work." " Good." "Another thing." "When we get home, not a word about the kidnapping to my mom." "Don't worry." "Is the exam over?" "Come on, give me a kiss, I'm not that bad!" "You two sure had me worried." "Let's hear some music." "When I lose all the games..." "When I sleep in the arms of solitude..." "When I find there's no other way out, and night won't let me rest." "When silence frightens me..." "When I no longer stand on my feet..." "When memories rebel," "And push me against the wall." "I will resist, to keep on living..." "I will turn into steel to toughen my skin..." "And even if life's wind blows harder," "I'll be like the reed that bends but does not break." "I will resist, to keep on living..." "What is it, silly?" "We get along just fine!" "Come on, honey."
