"The Seven Madmen" "Still angry?" "Stop it." "It would be better to live in the desert than to live with an enraged wife." "So you still dye your hair." "Dying it won't erase the prints of your trade." "You could stay alone for one night and take care of the store." "Friends don't get married everyday." "Lady tell your daughter not to spy on me while I bathe." "We all want intimacy." "You're crazy, Mr. Barsut." "My daughters but a girl." "She has a formal boyfriend." "Then two young people were spying on me." "Can't even put powder on my rash." "She doesn't fool around." "Our friend Erdosain is about to take a great step." "He has decided to break a new hymen, forget about all women, and make one woman his wife,like I did mine." "Wish him luck." "Hopefully, she won't turn into a whore, like mine did." "Cheers!" "Careful with your words, he's marrying a cousin of mine, who's decent and a virgin." "I haven't eaten in four days." "We all came, didn't we." "Even Juilo whose sick and is going to the sierra's tomorrow." "The confidence Elsa has in you!" "When I told her" "I'd gotten you a job at the sugar mill so you both can eat," " ...guess what she said?" " What?" "Erdosain's man enough to support us both." "You don't know her." "I wonder what Elsa sees in this idiot to have fallen in love." "Can you tell I'm in idiot by the look on my face?" "No." "You look like a guy that has a firm idea." "I know what his firm idea is if he's getting married tomorrow." "You're wrong." "I never even kissed her." "Don't laugh." "We're not on a first name basis either." "And they say I'm crazy cause I know the Bible by heart." "That knowledge is one thing, but your winnings at roulette is absurd." "Being innocent, I've been revealed the secret of chance." "Went to Uruguay twice with Hipolita and won 5,000 pesos." "With Erdosain , we're going to make much more." "In our laboratory, we're going to metallize flowers, ties, shirts, cuffs and collars." "What are you laughing at?" "Erdosain is a great inventor." "We're going to be rich." "We're coating flowers with a salt solution, a plastic cooper finish." "The two most important stores will buy the patient." "Dreams, dreams." "That's all you know how to do." "The solution is in working!" "That is what Erdosain will find out when he starts working at the sugar mill and stops inventing things." "I'll pay you for it, if you can't throw it away." "Why don't you lick the table as well?" " Happy?" " You're crazy!" "Learn how to make your own happiness." "Take care." "Congratulations." "Don't be that way." "You're more nervous than I am." "With a bit of luck, you'll see if we made a good investment." "You got her man." "This is my wife, Hipolita." " Nice to meet you." " Likewise." "Let me fix it!" "Isn't your family here?" " I don't have a family." " Neither do I." " Too bad, it broke." " It's ok." " Shall we go, it's late." " Excuse me." "Don't mind that they might wrinkle." "Take them off." "Hi." " Hello." "Did you get paid?" " Yes." "It not complete. 6 pesos are missing." "I spent it." "You spent it?" "Why?" "I give you money for cigarettes and coffee everyday." " I bought some books." " What for?" "What for?" "Think I'm going to work there all my life?" "No, I'm going to invest things." "Big things." "We're going to be rich." "This shit life will be over." "Don't talk to me like that." "If there's no future at the sugar mill, you can work at a store, for practice." "Then we can open one of our own." "My Dad started like that." "Or we could open a ravioli factory." "We can get good workers and you would be in charge." "What's wrong?" "Why do you care?" "Want to control my laughter as well?" "What are you thinking about?" "My life." "What am I doing with my life?" "I must have the soul of a butler." "A servant has to do the worst jobs in the rich's world, while they sit and smoke a cigar." "Don't say that." "You can't keep your 6 pesos." "Do whatever you want." "What do I want?" "I don't know." "Leave me alone." "I don't want you today." "You can't eat with kisses, Remo." "Remo!" "You'll be sorry for this one day." "But it will be too late!" "Glad you came, the rose is almost done." "We did it, now we can sell the patient and get big money." "In a few minutes we'll see it." " Where's Luciana?" " She's in the back." "Good evening, Erdosain." "We weren't expecting you today." "Your brothers are convinced we can finally metallize" " the rose." " Thanks to your knowledge." "It's done!" "It's done!" "Erdosain, you're a genius." "It's perfect." "It's getting wet." "It got burned due to excessive amperture." "Before coating it with cyanide, we have to glue the petals." "Three months of work wasted." "It's doesn't matter, we'll start over." "Don't worry." "We'll invent something else." "From cleaners to dry dogs to a rod of death." "Erdosain, I'll come with you." " I'm very fond of you." " I know." "I like you so much, I studied blast furnace for you." "Want me to tell you how your refrigeration works?" "Want me to explain how copper is cast?" "Remember, when you said it'd be great to be boss at a blast furnace?" "I studied metallurgy." "What's wrong?" "Want to know the difference between irregular distribution of coal and a perfect one?" "What's wrong?" "Why won't you talk to me?" "Angry with us?" "We owe you our luck." "Bye." "Humanity, the multitude of enormous lands has lost its religion." "Soon men will ask, "what do we want to live for"?" "What for, brothers?" "Come in." " I have things to do." " Come in." "The astrologer is talking." "Happiness is gone, because men don't have faith or gods." "Time will come when the skeptical humanity, tired of pleasures, will curse from impotence and become so furious, that we'll have to kill it like a rabid dog." "Look at the U.S. There's artists with platinum ovaries." "A killer who wants to beat the record of horrible murders." "And a motor with a horse power of 300 that only causes, an impression when a madman drives them." "Man is a sad beast who will only shock prodigies." "Brother!" "I want to communicate with my husband's spirit." "He's talking sister." "Concentrate." "I want to speak with the astral body of my mother." "Your mother's astral body is in the room." "Make room for her in your chair." "I'm speaking with Sovietsky's spirit." "Who would you like to talk to brother?" "With Bakunin's spirit." "Concentrate and you'll hear his voice." "The future doesn't exist, but men's will does." "You have to make a revolution." "You have to inject joy in life." "You can't live like this, it's not fair." "What you say is true, but Bakunin didn't say that." "He asked himself if a real revolution could be made." "Wait for me." "We have to talk." "Brothers, time to think has come." "The lion is no longer disguised as a lamb." "Sit down." "Two brandies, please." "Why did you want to talk to Bakunin?" "Because the revolution will make this circus world explode." "You know how many murders that would mean?" "But people don't care about that, know why?" "Because what matters is being successful." "That's what's important." "It justifies every cause." "Fair or not." "You sound like a philosopher." "Maybe, but I want to form a secret society with a modern sense." "Where each member has an interest and makes a profit." "Honestly, I don't know if politically it will have one form or another." "Excuse me, someone is calling me." "I wasn't expecting you tonight." "Sorry I took so long." "Who was that?" "Huffnner." "Friends call him, The Melancholic Pimp." "A creep that gets bored of being a pimp, even though 10 women work for him." "We need people like that to form a secret society." "One that has pimps, intelligent workers, the unemployed." "Employees that want to be millionaires." "You're so quiet." "What do you think?" "That it is sad to have been born a coward." "It's tough being brave in the big city." "You think that if you break someone's face the police will drive you crazy." "You'd rather put up with it and not fight for justice." "I plan to fight for justice with my inventions." "Months ago I was working on this gas formula, which could make a whole neighborhood disappear in 15 minutes." "I want to give you something." "Take it, partner." "This is like Martin Fierro's knife." "It gives you the soul of a brave person." "Here, this is my address." "It's in Temperley." "Come over Monday." "There'll be a meeting you'll enjoy." "What are you writing?" "Note to install a gas factory." "A cheap and mortal mixture of a war gas." "War gas." "What's that useful for?" "The gas goes through the most compact masks." "It attacks the eyes, the lungs the skin, the blood," "Stop it, Remo." "Those who breathe it will vomit out their lungs." "They go blind." "They look like lepers." "And their genitals fall off in pieces." "Is dinner ready yet?" "They got a guy the other night that stabbed his wife to death." "I would have made a Buctius culture in her soup and no one would have noticed." "Are you capable of killing someone?" "I think so, Elsa." "I think so." "Why are you so sad, Remo?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "You're so much fun." "What could be wrong with me?" "Mr. Waldy said he wants your payments before 5:00." " You've been late, recently." " And?" "There's a crisis." "Half of our retailers won't pay." "Apart from not paying, they waste your time." "Mr. Waldy wants a list of those who paid and those who didn't." "You have the money ready?" " Yes, right here." " Use Cotello's desk." "Stern Bros : $50 paid." "Flores  Gimenez $18 paid." "Gialicia Store. $28." "Didn't pay." "Did not pay." "What are you doing here?" "How did you get in?" "I came to have a drink with you." "Your wife said, "Since Remo isn't here," "I'm going to my mother's house."" "What a bitch my cousin is." " Does she spend your money?" " No, I keep it." "You don't have the guts." " You look tired." " I'm nervous." "Good evening, I'd thought you'd left by now." "Seems like I'm not welcome here." " No, stay for dinner." " No, I'm leaving." "It would be extraordinary if I went crazy and killed you both." "And then commit suicide." "What a news story." "That's the last time you talk like that in my house." "Elsa's right." "I always bore people with my madness." "Sorry, goodbye." "He's going to think we don't want him here." "Better to tell him not to come anymore." "Does matter, he'll come anyway." "If you'd known marriage would be like this cooking, sewing...would you still have done it?" "No." "What would you have done?" "I'd have a lover." " Would you have loved him?" " Who knows." "Yes." "If he was a good person." "Where would you have met?" "In some hotel." "This is a nice way of talking in a marriage." "With trust, like brothers." "Would you have undressed in front of him?" "Of course, I wouldn't be dressed." "Bitch!" "You hardly let me touch you and you'd go around naked for someone else?" "I'm capable of stealing and killing for you and you're thinking about that?" "Are you crazy?" "No sane. "if he was a nice person."" "And I've destroyed myself." "You've turned me into a piece of dirt." "Where are you going?" "Where?" "Anywhere." "To find a nice woman." "If you like that girl, I can reserve her for you." "Alright." "Thanks." "No." "I didn't come here for sex." " Get out, you pervert." " Don't get mad." "I came because I felt sorry for you." "Yes, I pity you." "You probably make $3,000 a month and their are families that would be happy with that, but I felt sorry for you." "You destroy everything pretty you have in you." "I'm not drunk." "I just wanted to leave you a nice keepsake, by coming in here and not touching you." "So that you could remember me forever." " $26 pesos." "Are you crazy?" " Keep them." "Go ahead." "If you come back, I'll have you thrown out." "Good evening." "Good evening." "The astrologer told me about you." "Really?" "Going out?" "I like your job." "I think deep down, every man's dream is to be a pimp." "It's not that easy, you know." "Want to see?" "Come with me." " How long have you done this?" " Ten years." "I was 23 and a math teacher." "I'm a teacher." "I barley made it teaching, when at a whore house I meet a French girl I liked." "In those days I received an inheritance and asked her to come live with me." "I don't know if it was my words or my looks, but the girl fell in love and I took her out of there." "We went to Cordoba until I ran out of money." "So I said goodbye to her, it's over." "And from then on, she supported me." "Follow me, I have some business." "Smile when you dance girls." "Nobody has died." "Haffnner, what an honor." " This is a friend." " Nice to meet you." " I don't want any problems." " Don't worry." "Two gins." "I told you, it's not all flowers in this business." "That pimp there, stolen that chick who was working for me." "Just like that, he made me lose good money." " What do you think?" " If that's what she wanted." "No some things are only settled between men." "And women are the animals he offers as sacrifices." "They're like creatures." "You must teach them everything." "To walk, not to talk to certain guys, to defend herself, go to the doctor, everything." "That's why you get mad when they steal your merchandise." "Sweetie, dance with my friend." " It's all forgotten." " My brother." "Can I dance with her?" "Go ahead." "Kneel down and say you're sorry." "The jobs has some rewards, I'll admit." " Where do you get off?" " Anywhere." "Aren't you going home?" "My home is a pile of shit." "We were expecting you." "Excuse me." "Good evening." "As I was saying, we are the strength of the country." "However, we're submitted to the government's resolution." "And who is the government?" "Men chosen by political parties." "And what representative they are!" "Presidential campaigns are financed with foreign capital who are told they can set up companies here to exploit our natural resources." "We agree with you, but what do you propose?" "That you participate in a revolutionary movement." "Every secret society that the astrologer expects is a cancer in the community." "You will create a fictitious revolutionary assembly." "You will develop terrorist attacks." "Every attack wakes up the dark conscience of the community." "By repeating these attacks, you will achieve creating a revolutionary movement." "And when the movement is mature, we will mediate." "I think we have to state the matter in a different way." "Do you or don't you want the revolution?" "We'll mediate with the view of how to defend the institutions of our fatherland:" "properties, capitals, and families." "Then we would work for you only to receive the feast's crumbs." "Gentlemen, we haven't met to discuss ideologies." "We're here to organize a group." "If the U.S. is full of secret societies - in Chicago alone, the KKK has 150,000 members - what stops Argentina from having a society with that power?" "I want to organize a group where human hope is consolidated." "A group that wants to transform the universe." "A group of disgusted men, fired employees, failed investors, those who have been left in the street without knowing where to run." "My plan is simple." "According to the confidential words of the doctor, great changes are about to be made." "We're in charge of justifying them." "And we have the conditions to do so." "This huge country has all its power in only a few blocks." "The church, the government house the bank and its businesses, the "Cabildo" with its nostalgic history, and city hall." "Augusto Remo Erdosain." "You will be in charge of installing a factory of explosives and gas." "We can blow up that small group that meets in this area." "I'm capable of doing it." "You, Haffnner, will supply us with money we need from the whorehouses." "But you will also be in charge of showing us the filth and wretchedness of these men that govern us." "I can't commit myself to this conspiracy." "But, I'll help you." "Where brutality and courage is needed, Bromberg will be there." "You can trust him." "He's full of hatred." "You, who have been a gold miner, say that you can exploit the mineral resources of a country which the government hides, will get your chance." "Meanwhile, you will have to serve the cause." "I'm here because I don't believe in violent theories, just violent people." "I'm from the country, not the city." "You counselor, will teach the intellectuals." "There not hungry, but they are the easiest." "They always suffer for the rest." "The day will come when the idealist will cease to look stupid." "That will be when we destroy the world they don't fit into." "Then they will understand why we act like monsters." " Good evening." " Good evening." " And that radio?" " I bought it." " Did you get a raise?" " And an odd job." "It's funny, the whores who meet with their men do the opposite of what honest women do." "They run their make-up, mess up their hair." "What would you know about those women?" "Where do you think I've had my best moments these past months?" "I don't want to hear it." "I fell into every hole." "Into all of them." "And you pushed me into it all through your indifference." "Don't say that." "You do it because you like it." "But I always thought of you." "Don't touch me." "Anything, but don't touch me." "I respect myself you scum." "Manager" "Come in." "Excuse me." "Good afternoon." "We have proof that you have robbed us." "You've stolen $600 pesos in eight months." "And seven cents." "Why aren't you dressed well?" "I don't earn enough." "What about the money you took?" "We haven't spoken to Barsut, who recommended you because he's an honest employee and doesn't deserve it." "You are not in jail, because we are fond of him." " Can you give the money back?" " I don't have a dime." "We're ruined." "If you don't bring the money by 3:00 tomorrow we'll turn you over to the police." "Why did they call you?" "Nothing important." "They're worried about payments." "And with this crisis..." "Bye." "I'm going to see another client." "See you." "Erdosain, what are you doing here?" "We didn't expect you." "I was collecting payments in the area and came to visit Erqueta." "He's out." "He went to give an old lady an injection." "Is he still with the bible business." "Yes and with the roulette." "Erqueta, it's been so long." "Good to see you!" "What a surprise!" " How are you?" " Fine." "Business is good." "And so is gambling with roulette." "I'm going to Uruguay again next week." " Your luck then?" " With the lord's help." "The Lord helps those with good souls, like you." "He also helps the idiots." "Ever since I've been doing these mysterious things, I've made huge mistakes." "Like marrying that whore!" "You're crazy." "You'll end up in a nuthouse." "Who believes in people's good will?" "Everyone wants to ruin you and turn you into a madman." "You're going to do good things." "You'll save a lot of people." "How can you talk to people about the truth who don't have faith?" "People need money." "Not the sacred truth." "There's a lot of people in distress." "You're not suppose to save those people." "Or who else is going to do the social revolution?" "The swindlers, the unfortunate, the deceitful." "The despicable guys who didn't have a chance." "There going to do the revolution?" "Or do you think writers and sales people will do it?" "What do those people do until the social revolution comes?" "What do I do?" "I'm almost in jail myself." "I stole $600 pesos and 7 cents." "Can you lend it to me?" "You think I'm an idiot just cause I've read the bible." " I swear I'll pay it back." " Get out of here." "Damn it!" "What a surprise, Erdosain, I didn't expect to see you." "Come." "I was just talking to Haffnner." "Come." "Hello." "This report is more valuable than a dozen bombs." "Listen." ""A high official reports two women, one in a cheap house, another in a palace."" " Can you lend me $600 pesos?" " Calm down." "What's the matter?" "If I don't return $600 to the sugar mill, I'll go to jail." "How did you steal so much money?" "No control in the company, the accountant didn't take note of the people I said didn't pay and turned me in." "You have to help me." "Did stealing bring you pleasure?" "No." "Then why did you do it?" " My salary was so low." " And the money you stole?" "I never thought of buying small things with stolen money." "I gave $200 pesos to a family in Espilas to set up a laboratory." "And the rest." "I don't know." "I just spent it." "Then they'll send you to jail." "You know I only have $1,000 and it's for my project." "I can only give you $300 pesos." "The things you do..." " I'm full of anguish" " What's that?" "Anguish." "You steal or do stupid things because you're anguished." "I didn't come here to explain myself. $300 pesos isn't enough." "I need money, not words." "If you can't give it to me, I'll go someplace else." "Good night." "Sit down, my friend." "I'll give you $600 pesos." "That's what men are for." "I'll give him $300 and you give the rest to him." "No. you need the money, I don't." "And we're friends." "When do you have to have the money back?" " Tomorrow." "Then I'll write you a check." "There's a meeting on Wednesday with interesting people." " Don't miss it." " I won't." "See pal, we can work anything out." " Happy?" " Yes, of course." "What's going on?" "I'm not going to live with you anymore, Remo." "Your wife, whom I've know for some time." " Where did you meet her?" " Why do you ask?" "Right, there are certain things you shouldn't ask." "You're right, I'm sorry." "And since you didn't make enough money to support her," "What I'm saying isn't funny!" "Just laughing at a thought I had." " She told you that too?" " Yes." "She also told me you were a failed genius." "We talked about your inventions." "Elsa, why don't you pour us a drink?" "Yes, excuse me." "Why did you come to my house?" "I wanted to meet you." " You thought it would be fun?" " No." "Not at all." "Well?" "You're wife told me many things about you recently." "But I'd never thought I'd be in a situation like this." "Actually, I can't even explain why I came." "Please sit down, Elsa." "Yes." "Funny." "I feel like I've seen this already." "I don't know where." " Why were you leaving, Elsa?" " I hate misery." "Sure." "You think you'd be happy if you spent your life in parties." " How much do you make?" " About $500 pesos." " With that salary it's logical." " What's logical?" "That you don't feel like a servant, like I do." "Don't pay attention to him." "Remo always talks this way." "Maybe your right." "Getting to the point, you two are to be happy?" "." " Yes." "Our life together wasn't happy." "We were always at this table in silence." " Shut up." " Why?" "We were at the table and we knew without saying a word, that we were two unhappy people with two different dreams, and in bed..." "We can't go on like this." "Don't be stupid!" "You aren't going to have sex." "You aren't having sex now?" "Mr. Erdosain, we're leaving." "Know why I won't kill you like a dog?" "Because I'm...cold." "Well Remo, I'm leaving." "Was it necessary to end this way?" "You're going?" "Please be calm." "Your clothes are in order." "Change your collar." "You always embarrassed me." "What about your plans?" "My inventions?" "What can I do?" "At first I was good to you." "Later I began hating you." "Are you really leaving?" "Why weren't you good to me?" "Why didn't you work?" " Did you ever love me?" " I always did." "You know you can come back whenever you want." "But tell me the truth." " Did you ever love me?" " I always loved you." "I love you know too." "Why weren't you ever like you are tonight?" "I feel I'm going to love you all my life." "The other man is a shadow, next to you." "What a life." "Is life is how you've always described it to me," "I'll come back." "And we can commit suicide together." " Are you happy?" " You are so good." "Give me your hand." "Do you mind?" "Remo, I'll be back." "If what you say about life is true, I'll be back." " You will?" " With all I have." "Even if you're rich?" "Even if I'm the richest woman on Earth." "I'll come back." "I swear." "My poor soul." "You never knew me." "See, this is your surprise." "Your on your own." "It's night." "You're alone." "And suddenly the door opens and it's me." "Coming home." "To see you." "Only you." "With a party dress on." "White shoes and a pearl necklace." "But you don't see me." "You're alone." "With your head on your hands." "Your elbow on the table." "You look at me and suddenly" "I recognize you and say, "Elsa, is that you"?" " Are you leaving?" " Yes." " Give me a kiss." " When I return." "Elsa, Elsa tell me..." "Do you have sex with him?" "Do you?" "Come in." "It's open." "How are you?" " Elsa" " She's out." "Where did she go?" "She left...with a man." "There's the gun, see?" "I could have killed them both, but I didn't." "Man is a strange animal." "What?" "You let someone take your wife away?" "What do you care?" "Did I hurt you." "I'm sorry." "Why did you tell me she left, as if you didn't care?" "You made me furious." "Listen to me." "I could kill you." "You don't know what you just got me into." "I turned you in at the sugar mill." " Why?" "I wanted for her to come see me, so I could help you." " Do you love her?" " What?" "Do you love her?" "I did it so she would come and beg because she is so conceited." "Answer me, do you love her?" "She made me suffer so much." "She treated me with such contempt." "I never thought you wanted to steal my wife." "Get out of here!" "What?" "You don't care about anything." "You could go to sleep now." "Why not?" "I'm tired." "Leave me alone." "I can stand guys whose wives cheat on them." "Come in." "The boss is in his office." " Hello, Erdosain." " Hello." "I've been working on this for hours." "As I said before, the good thing about Buenos Aires, is that by only blowing up four blocks, we get rid of everything." "I left out congress, but it won't be of use in the future." " If you're working, I'll leave." " No, please stay." "Were you in a fight?" "What's wrong?" "Lots of things." "If I had to kill a man to get the money to blow all this," " what would you do?" " Explain yourself." "There's a man George Barsut, my wife's cousin, who has $20,000 pesos in the bank." "All inherited." "We could kidnap him and make him sign a check." "We could torture him if he refuses to do it." "We could kill him." "No one would miss him." "Why would you want to kidnap Barsut?" "My wife left with another man." "Barsut beat me for that." "Maybe he loved her or maybe he wanted to humiliate me." "You're mystic, Erdosain." "We're both mystic, without realizing it." "See?" "The revolution is necessary to save ourselves from the catastrophe that has fallen over us." " Do we kidnap Barsut, then?" " Yes." "Lets see how we can get him and the money." "I've just thought of the perfect plan." "Mr. Barsut, there's a Mr. Erdosain to see you." "He's here." "Let him in." "Get out of here." "You can make the bed later." " Hello." " What are you doing here?" "I located Elsa and her lover." "I want to see them and end this situation." "Can you come with me?" "Afraid of going alone?" "I want to see you in this adventure." "Look, I thought I was an idiot, but you're worse." "Where's Elsa?" "At her lover's house in Temperly" "I have the address." "I got it from the ministry where he works." "How do I know you're not playing a trick on me." "You probably want to kill me." "I wanted to steal you wife, I turned you in, I beat you up." "Do what you want, I'm going to Temperly now." "But if that guys kills me, it'll be your fault." "Alright, I'll come with you." "If Elsa's there, I'll set her straight." "It's here." "How do you know it's here?" "There's no number." "I came by yesterday to see if Elsa was here." "Is Mrs. Elsa here?" "Come in." "Now we go ahead with the 2nd part of the plan." "I'm going to Rosario tonight." "The day after tomorrow, you go to Barsut's hotel." "Please send...all my clothes." "Hotel Italia, Rosario." "Stop." "Important work...awaits me here." "Stop." "Regards, Barsut." " What?" " Is Mr. Barsut in?" "Barsut." "I want to see him." "He's not here." "He went to Rosario." "He sent us a telegram to send his clothes to him." "Can I talk to the landlady?" "Mom." " What is it?" " Mam, Remo Erdosain." "Your daughter tells me that Mr. Barsut went to Roserio." "I'd like to take his room, if you don't mind." "It's $12 a month and one month in advance, Ok?" "As you can see, we've planned the perfect kidnapping." "There's no way out, Barsut." "No one will notice you've disappeared." "Sign a check for $17,000 pesos and tomorrow after I cash it," "I'll let you out of here." "With the $3,000 you have left, you can go to hell." "You're nuts." "That money is all I have." "Worth more than my life." "We have many ways of convincing you." "What that money can give me is more important than anything." "Then I'll leave you with Bromberg." "I don't think you'll feel like refusing afterwards." "Mr. Erdosain, there's a lady here to see you." "She says the doorman of your previous address told her you were here." " Thanks." "Good evening." "You look at me as if you've seen a ghost." "I didn't expect you here, sit down." "Sorry, I came without calling first, because my brothers wanted me to give you these papers." "I went to your house and they told me you had moved." "What happened, Erdosain?" "And your wife?" "My wife?" "It's very simple." "She left." "She left with another man." "Funny isn't it?" "No." "I know it isn't." "I understand you." "When somebody says that they don't understand anything." "No one understands." "Please don't say that." "You feel bad." "That's true." "You should leave." "Leave this place." "Leave, where?" "Anywhere." "To Europe." "To North America." "When I was little, I thought I would travel to distant and happy places." "Now I know they don't exist." "There's the same kind of people everywhere." "I love you and that's why I understand you." "Since the time you used to come over with your inventions." "And now that you are willing to risk your life for you projects" "I love you a lot more." "I'd like to believe you." "Good morning." "Did you bring Barsut's check?" "Your plan failed." "Barsut won't sing." "What are you going to do?" "He was in Bromberg's hands for two days." "We have to kill him like a dog!" "What about the $20,000 pesos?" "I mean after he signs, because he'll do it." "He has an extraordinary personality." " We need that money!" " He'll sign." "Here's the next stage of the explosive gas factory." "We can make some tests." "We'll have to study every detail." "This attack will be successful if it explodes everywhere" "at the same time." "Blind." "I opened a saving account at the bank." "By tonight we will have studied every move." "My experience as a professional blind man is good for something." "God bless you sir." "Congratulations." "The results are great." "I chose this gas arbitrarily." "The one that produces the worst effects." "The morality rate of a town not prepared for combat is 100%." "I'd like to test its effectiveness in the attack." "We'll need a truck with a tank to transport it." "The driver must be completely isolated." "A truck?" "We'll need more money for that, and fast." " Aren't you surprised?" " Why my friend?" "That your words were stronger than the beatings." "I think Bromberg paved the way." "You could have tortured me until I died," "I still wouldn't have signed." "But I found a way out in what you said." "Like a religion, Barsut?" "I realized that my wish to destroy the world is stronger than my love of money." "Now I have the convince to rest." "We sentenced you to death." "No one likes you here." "But I think you could be useful." "It's signed." "Barsut thinks he's tricked you." "But tomorrow after we cash the check, we'll have to kill him." "You'll have to kill him." "Why?" "Afraid of getting involved?" "I don't know." "I just think it should be that way." "You and Bromberg should be enough." "I thought I gave the orders around here." "To me, it's the same if I kill him without your help." " And the check?" " You'll cash it." " And if you run away with it?" " I'm sure you won't." "Be it for anguish or boredom you're interested" " in pulling this through." " Maybe." "I'll wait for you tomorrow night." "Bring me $13,000 pesos and keep $2,000 for yourself and give Haffnner $2,000." "He's at the cafe La Cortada." "Thanks for trusting me." "Barsut!" "Barsut?" "You want change?" "Big or small?" "A bit of everything." "Every color." "Come in." "You called, Mr. Erdosain?" "Yes, I need your advice." "Of course son, take me as a mother." "Thank you." "As you see I've made money with my inventions and I want to get married." "I need a strong young woman." "I'm tired of sleeping by myself." "Don't rush, Mr. Erdosain." "The girls in this city are very fast." "Go to the provinces." "The girls there are more nicer, more decent of fine lineage." "I don't care about lineage." "I had your daughter in mind." "Really, Erdosain?" "Yes, mam." "I really like her." " She's young." " Too young to get married." " She's only 15." " The best age to marry." "Maria, I've got money." "A lot of money." "I want to marry you Maria." "Well?" "Why shouldn't she marry you?" "Such a nice gentlemen." "Do you accept?" "Yes." "Take $100 pesos." "Buy the girl a few dresses, Mom." "I can call you Mom can't I?" "Yes son." "What are you doing?" "Kiss your boyfriend." "Now go away." "I have things to do." "I'll be back later." "Ask me for whatever you want, Mom." "I was waiting for a friend to take a walk with, coming?" "You should come more often to Temperley, we miss you." "I try to get interested in what the astrologer has to say, but deep inside, everything bores me." "You must be interested in something." "You know how much I've saved up?" "$130,000 pesos." "With that kind of money I could do lots of things in Buenos Aires, I could organize the cocaine traffic or get rid of the pimps and" " keep their business" " Why don't you?" "I told you." "It bores me." "Besides, I'm a practical man." "If I've got money, I stay put." "I'm not like you." "I'd like to set the world on fire." "You're a nice guy." "You know?" "Haffnner." "Haffnner." " Sure you don't know anything?" " I swear." "I found him accidentally." "In a bar." "Ok." "You don't look like a pimp." "Speak up." "Who did this?" "Lungo or Pibe Mi Flor?" "Is it true you stole a woman from Pibe Mi Flor?" "We should hang all these disgusting guys." "Thirsty?" "Remember me?" "I'm Det." "Gomez." "Gomez from investigations." "Who shot you?" "Lungo or Pibe Mi Flor?" "Speak up." "Answer me and I'll give you water." "Speak up, asshole!" "Son of a bitch!" "You finally talked." "You're going to die any moment." "Was it Pibe Mi Flor?" "It's useless." "What are you doing?" " Waiting for you." " Why?" "Aren't you my fiancée?" "Look at the nice dress my mom bought you with your money." " The old whore has go taste." " Don't call my mom that!" "She's a bitch, just like her daughter." " It's from a good store." " Walk around." "Like a model." "I'm tired." "Do you sit on your man's lap every time you get tired?" " You've got honey knees." " And you have a fat butt." "I don't know what I do." "I get pinched where ever I go." "Are you comfortable." "Want to come upstairs?" " To the room?" " Yes to the room." "Ok but just for a little while." " What are you doing?" " My legs get so weak." "Come on." "Don't get fresh, I'm a minor." "Go upstairs." "Ready Luciana." "The wind may blow and spread the balloons throughout the city." "Very good." "The plan worked perfectly." "I'm worried about the balloons, if there's wind from the north the gas may spread over Constitucion." "And if it's from the east it might spread over Caballito." "Then study the problem, you can find the solution." "We've only got a week left!" "If you rob the bank and throw the gas grenades at the government house, they'll be no one alive." "And afterwards?" "We will have created the revolutionary movement." "The government will fall into someone else's hands, for now." "Don't forget, this is only the first movement." "I have a present for you." " Barsut's watch?" " The only thing left of him." " Barsut's dead." " Isn't that what you wanted?" "Erdosain." "You always thought crime would change your life." "Now you're a criminal." "You can't go back now." " Erqueta?" " He went mad." "He bet the only money we had on roulette in Uruguay, while shouting passages from the Bible." " I have to talk to him." " It won't help much." "Where is he?" "At the madhouse." "If he didn't escape, that is." "Two night ago, he dragged me out of bed out into the street." "An officer came along and they put him in Las Mercedes Institute." "What's the matter?" "Some time ago I asked him to lend me some money, and now I don't need money, but I need a prescription." "Something to help me sleep." "Come here." "I can help you." "Everything's embargoed." "When I worked on the streets, men made me sick, but I had money." "Now I'll have to leave this place." "God knows where I'll go." " I'd like to help you." " I know you were his friend." "I had money, but I spent it." "But I have powerful friends." "Powerful friends?" "I'll give you this." "It's a good tranquilizer." "Come, you'll rest better inside." "It was Barsut's." "And Barsut is dead." "Barsut dead?" "How did he die?" ""Time has come," Erqueta use to say." "And he was right." "I sentenced that man to death." "You killed him?" "I had him killed." "The astrologer did it." "He killed him." "That friend of yours?" "That powerful friend that lives in Temperley." "But, I'm to blame." "The end is near." "In a week, everything will blow up." "Maybe that's the only thing worthwhile." "Poor guy." "Rest." "No one ever loved you." "Erdosain." "Erdosain." "Hipolita?" "Temperley 219." "Hello Bromberg." "It's Erdosain." "I want to talk to the astrologer." "Good morning." "Are you the astrologer?" "They could put some numbers on these houses." "I got tired of asking around." "What a nice house you have." "You must live well here." "Neither well nor bad." "My visit must surprise you." "Only friends visit me." " Like Erdosain." " You're a friend of his?" "You're Erqueta's wife." "The one who spoke of the Bible and gambled." "Right." "Congratulations." "Look at where you've come to live." " Do you have women out here?" " Only when they are needed." "You're not very polite." "I've never been here before and you've haven't said, "Come in." "Make yourself at home."" ""Take your hat off." "Have a brandy."" "Why should you come into my house?" "Besides, I only keep brandy for my friends." "If you were my friend or someone I knew..." " Like Barsut" " Exactly." "If you were someone I knew, like Barsut, I'd ask you in." "And I would offer more things than just brandy." " You're a cynic, you know that." " And you're a babbler." "What do you want?" "Sit down." "You came here to blackmail me." "You need money and think I can give it to you." "Yes." "No." "Yes." "No." "Yes." "No." "You see?" "Even my daises say so." "You needed money and thought of me." "Everything in life is like that." "You and I are comrades actually." "Before getting married you were a prostitute." "At 16 I was a maid at a big house on Alvear Street." "One day I heard one man say to another, "If a woman is smart, even though she's ugly, she can get rich becoming a whore."" ""If she never gets married, she can become owner of the city."" "You better get up." "You'll catch cold." "My feet are already frozen." "Artists deform the truth, but the military the industrialists and the politicians crush it." "They say a man sleeps for 8 hours to breathe, he needs so many cubic inches of air and a lot of sun so he doesn't rot." "But man needs more truths to survive this chaos." "You think about the revolution." "You're indirectly asking me to help you with it." "But since you don't dare to go into the subject you beat around the bush." "You could be a great woman." "I'd like to be yours." "Suddenly, I want you badly." "I'd be very happy cheating on my husband with you." "It's incredible what my words cause." "Why?" "At this moment, my desire is my truth." "My body is my truth." "Your body may be your truth, but I don't want you." "Besides, I can't take any woman." "Why not?" "I stepped on the skylight and the window broke." "I fell on the rail of the staircase." "And I was disabled for the rest of my life." " That's my truth" " Then we are alike." "I never felt anything with a man." "I thought of committing suicide." "A thousand monsters lurked in my brain." "Days and nights." "But then I understood I had but one duty." "To destroy this inexorable society." "Capitalism and its satellites have turned man into a skeptic." "A killer of his fellow beings for a pleasure of a cigar." "Or a meal." " Do you believe in women?" " Yes." "Why?" "Because women are the beginning and ending of life." "Because they have the power and will over their bodies not just their heads, like intellectuals." "Up till now they've only had children." "Isn't that enough." "Tomorrow will be the revolution." "Wait till they start waking up." "You came to blackmail me." "It's useless." "Barsut's alive." "But Erdosain thinks he dead and feel like a murderer." "Let him think so." "That will make him a real revolutionist." "I'm tired." "Want to rest?" "I'll offer you some brandy." "Now I consider you a real friend." " What are you doing?" " Doodling." "Always the same thing." "I'm sick of it." "Calm down." "Every pig gets their meal sooner or later." "You're the pig!" "Why don't you go help your mother?" "Brush your teeth." "They're always dirty." "Go on." "Use my brush." "Why don't you take me out?" "What kind of boyfriend are you?" "We are in the room all day." "When I finish this, I'll take you to the zoo and the theaters." "You think I'm a maid?" "Look what you did." "Now it's all wet." "I've got work to do." "Get out of here." "You asshole." "You know something." "It's been a while since I looked at the sky." "Men have lost the habit of looking at the stars." "Funny." "A night so calm talking about anything and tomorrow our luck might change." "Tomorrow?" "Already?" "Tomorrow we are starting with our revolutionary actions." " Is Erdosain coming?" " Of course." "He's fixing up small details right now." " What will you say about Barsut?" " Nothing." "It's best if he thinks he's dead." "Mr. Aberto." "I found someone spying under the trees." "Let's go." "A spy." "Is he dead?" " It's Erqueta." " Your husband?" " He escaped." " How unfortunate." "He was probably following me." "He's crazy." "A madman always brings bad luck." "It's her fault." "Take him to the attic with Barsut." " We should kill both of them." " I give the orders around here." "We have to destroy the enemy, not the poor devils." "Strange." "What he's dragging is the man I once loved." "Today I don't care about him at all." "We need to sleep." "Tomorrow will be the first day of a new world." "It wouldn't be good if we start off sleepy." "Comrades, Hipolita is the newest supporter of our revolutionary power." "She'll be in charge of forming feminine cells." "She doesn't have anything to do with us." "Stop it, Bromberg!" "Madmen, pimps, whores, all of us can hate life together." "And that's enough." "At 11:00 the truck will go down Defensa Street spreading gas." "Bromberg and Erdosain will be in charge of that stage." "I'll be about to leave the bank." "The bombs will be in the safe." "Espila brothers, when you see the balloons, throw your gas grenade in the government house." "I'll start shooting the balloons from the roof." "At 11:10 Hipolita and Luciana will hand out leaflets proclaiming revolution on Corrientes Street." "Today we've begun to destroy the false peace of the exploiters." "The war we've started will end when capitalism is exterminated." "We're not driven by hatred, but we know the serenity of justice will only be possible in a world where praise for money and materialism have disappeared." "From among the ruins and deaths, a better humanity will be born." "Good morning." "You're just in time, doctor." "I was reading the proclamation." "That proclamation is useless." "I've come to tell you that as of today you are no longer our allies, but our enemies." "Order has been restored in our country." "Anyone who tries to alter it, will be sentenced to death." "You have two hours to disappear." "Good day." "Our dream has been stolen." "And I'm too old to create a new one." "The young are the owners of the world." "Gentlemen, you are free to take action." "An anarchist coup was miscarried." "Paper, paper." "There's a new government." "Where are you going?" "South, to the country to keep fighting." "We'll have another opportunity." "Leave the truck." "The police know about it." " I'll run them over!" " Let's walk." " Would you come with me?" " You doubt it?" "There's a big mess outside." "Ezequiel says, "Destruction will come to look for peace, but there will be none."" "The astrologer told us to run." "You want a message from above?" " Don't mock the Lord!" " Who's mocking him?" "We can't leave tracks." "You have to burn your ships, after you abandon them." "You saved my life, my friend Barsut." "Now I'll save yours." "This will all go to hell." "Let's go Hipolita." " The house will burn." " Let's go." "My love." "See what happened to you for trusting just any guy?" "You lost your purity forever." "You see?" "Forever." "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "Now God punished you." "Yes God, for not taking the advise the teachers gave you" "in school." "This is a Leopoldo Torre Nilsson film based on the novels:" ""Los siete locos" and "Los lanzallamas" by Robert Arit."
