" Hello." " Good morning." "He's not here yet?" " What time did you tell him?" " In the morning." "Go straight to the route, then take a left about 100 meters, then take another left." "You'll see the construction site 100 meters away." " Thanks, chief." " Don't mention it." "I know this place." "I brought materials here a few years ago." "Who owns this place?" "David." "His father ran for mayor of Rocha." "You know him?" "I sure do." "I'm from Rocha myself." "The kid is notorious back in town..." "Because he jerked off so much he got weak." " They had to hospitalize him." " Really?" "They hospitalized him, I think he lost consciousness." " Hey." " What?" "Why don't you stay?" "I can't." "I must go back." "A few more days." "It's great here." "There's no one." "I have to work and I have my home there." "Will you come some weekend?" "You have a place to stay." "I don't know." " Will you write to me?" " Yes." " Will you go to Montevideo?" " Yes." "When?" "When I get some money." "I'll go in December for the exam." "You call me, OK?" "I'm running late." "What will you do here?" "Try to finish my house, study." "Which house?" "My dad gave me a piece of land." " Where?" " Where you set your tent." "There was nothing there." "The foundations are there." "Sorry, I thought it was an abandoned lot." "I need to resume construction work." "I'm going, David." "Come back anytime." "You have a place to stay." "OK, ciao." "There's fritters in the fridge." "Eat them." "Ciao." "You believed that?" "He jerked off like 80 times." " No shit, man." " That can't be." "They had to hospitalize him." " That can't be true." " It's impossible, dude." "The whole town knows it." "You know what they call him?" " Monkey tamer." " Why?" "Because he's always spanking the monkey." "Why would he jerk off so much?" " What you got?" " 20 pesos." "Not enough to get drunk." "I'll ask the grocer to sell on credit." "No, he won't do that." " He will." " Not for 20 pesos." "What then?" "Let's do something." "Let's party at David's." "No, he stood us up today." "He didn't help us unload the truck." "You can't think only about work." "That can't be the only thing in your head." "It's not my fault that he's good for nothing." "Think about the party." "Fuck it." "If he doesn't show tomorrow, I'm out." "It'll be OK, I'll talk to him." "You're are jerk off too." "I asked you to get mushrooms and you didn't so we're all dry now." "He never puts money but he drinks anyway." "True, he puts no money but drinks a lot." "So we're ousting David because you want to drink more." " David is part of the tribe, OK?" " Fuck that." "Plus, he's got grass, get it?" "Hey, everything's cool with David." "Beba, come here." "Honey, please you have to keep the bitch leashed in the state she is." "God damned, he didn't show again." "Excuse me." " Good morning." " Morning." "How are you?" " The newspaper." " Thanks." "Newspaper!" " How you doing?" " Good." " You got "Carlos"?" " Yes, I got it." "Let me in, I'll show you." " Is it good?" " Top of the line." "It hits you good." "Wanna roll up a thin one?" " Got paper?" " Yes." "Add more water, Eddie this is hard." "It's not going down." "C'mon." "It's too hard." "There you go." "Yes, stir it." " Look who's here." " Hey!" " David, how are you?" " Good." " Where are you going?" " The construction site." " Which one?" " Mine." " You started again?" " Yes." " Give me a hand here." " I can't." "C'mon, one of my guys didn't show." "C'mon, I have work to do." "Fuck that, come here." "Give us a hand." "We'll help you later." " Don't be a pussy." " OK." " Give us a hand here." " OK, maybe I'll learn some." "Like, how to be a man and not having girl's hands." "David." "David, are you in?" "David didn't lock the door." "What a mess." "?" "..." "God fucking damned." "What are you doing?" "Pour me a Scotch, hon." "You wear no deodorant, don't know the time nor the day you just live on the moon." "You don't help, you do nothing the house is a mess." "That's no way to live." "Exactly." "You can't go on like this." "You don't seem my blood." "Say something." "Fucking A." "You drive me up the wall." "I didn't know you were coming, dad." "You didn't know, c'mon." "Is there something you do know?" "I want to pass the exam, go back to Montevideo." "You can't spend your life studying, switching careers, living the good life." "You're 25." "You have to do something useful." " What are you going to do there?" " Study." "Holy Mary." "I'd like to shoot myself tonight." "Studying is not enough." "I can't support you any longer." "And I don't want to do it, for your own good." "I don't know how you'll manage in Montevideo." "If I pass the exam I'll get the scholarship back." "Good..." "Always the easy way." "Always for free." "Nothing made with your own hands." "Never your own effort." "You've got it all for free in your life." "First you leech off your father, and when he's dry, who do you squeeze?" "The Uruguayan State." "Look how well it's doing." "Down the tubes." "No, my son." "You're lost, but I'll fix you." "Even if it costs me a house." "This year you'll do something you never did." "Work." "You know why?" "Because our country needs men who work and produce." "Not leeches like you." "Pour me." "Well..." "It was all very good." "Gotta get up early tomorrow." " Enjoy your meal." " Thanks." "Put on the alarm clock." "OK?" "Yes." "Sleeping naked, you faggot?" "Come out, David, there's work to do." "Coming." "As they say, work is healthy." "David, we'll mow all this grass." "Then we'll set the limits again." "Three sticks- here, there and there." "Three more here." "Here, here and there." "After the third one comes this one." "One stick here, another here in a straight angle." "One stick here, here and there, and the fourth over there." "1... 2... 3..." "That's what we have to do." "You get it?" "Get me a stick here." "Yeah." "Put it here." " Here?" " That's right." "Another one here." "Let go of it." "Get another one." "Yeah." "Put it here." "Hold it and stand over here." "Put your hands down here." "Step back." "OK." "Hold that." "Check that, kid." "OK?" "Right there?" "WE'RE GONE." "BLONDINA IS NOTWELL." "KEEP THE HOUSE NEAT AND CLEAN." "I'M LEAVING MONEY IN EXCHANGE." "FINISH THE SEPTIC TANK BY MY RETURN." "MAKE THEM WORK, I'M PAYING THEM." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." " Is Rafa in?" " No, why?" "I need a hand with the construction." " Today?" " You've told him?" " No." " What-lideist know." "Ming?" "Is he working somewhere?" "I doubt it." "He must be out there somewhere." "And Pototo?" "Working at Mercedes, that slut." " Tell them I'm looking for them." " Yes." " It's urgent, OK?" " Yeah." "I see it clearly now..." "Them Chinese are dilling the world with plastic." "There's millions of them working 10, 12 hours a day, even the children." "Plastic, plastic and more plastic..." "They're covering us with it." "What are you saying?" "The fucking culture of plastic." "Think about it." "We're being invaded, colonized by the Chinese." "The tank is plastic, the hose is plastic, the bottles..." "There's plastic everywhere." "You want them to be glass?" "What are you saying?" "When you watch TV, what do you see?" "All the chicks got plastic tits." "Even here in Rocha they're putting plastic tits on chicks." "That can't be." "I don't think so, Rodney." "I think this country needs more tits." "Look how well is Argentina doing thanks to silicone." "You're nuts." "You're losing it, dude." "Would you do it if you were a chick?" "Most probably." "They all want to make people horny." "Yo, David I'll tell you something because you're a friend." "Don't tell the rest of the tribe." "But Adriana comes in the 6 PM bus." "Go see her." "See what, Rodney?" "Look at her." "Then tell me what you think." "What are you talking about?" "Her tits, man..." "She wants to be an actress too." " Morning." " Hello." "How's that going?" "Good, a bit slow now." "I'm working alone." "I mean, the other thing." "What?" "Your balls, son." "It's OK I guess." "I had the same thing long ago." "I had to see a doctor." "I won't forget what he said." "It's a problem in the tube where the sperm comes out from the testicles." "This little tube it opens when you're about to ejaculate." "But if you don't ejaculate, the tube stays open." "And anything can get in and create an infection." "Come here, open your coat." " Look." " What?" "Easy, I won't hurt you." "Come here." "If it hurts behind your balls, it's what I'm saying." "You ought to see a doctor." "Okay." " Would you put this on my tab?" " OK." "Oops!" " Your father hasn't come lately." " Yes, it's been a while." " This is the last time, OK?" " Okay." " So long." " Thanks." "David, what's up?" "Come here." "Let's roll a joint." " How you doing?" " What's up?" " Hello." " What brings you here, pal?" "The smell of dick, I bet." " Something to drink?" " Not now, thanks." "Look who's coming." "What are you looking at, faggots?" "When are you giving us money?" "I need money, dude." "I've told you, when my dad comes." "I'm broke." "You bought new boards but you can't pay us?" "He brought them." " He also bring Rass?" "We've been waiting for your father for a while now." " I have a family to support." " There's nothing I can do." "But it's your construction." "Be sure that he'll come and..." "If he doesn't come this weekend," "I'll take these boards and leave." "And I won't come back." "Put that one there, Pototo." "No, the other one." "Get me those boards." "C'mon, move it." " Which boards?" " Those ones." "We don't have all day, man." " I got them." " Yeah, right." " What should I do?" " Leave them on the floor." "I want to help here." "No, please." "Just go get some wine." "And a stereo." "Yeah, that's how you can help." "Go." " C"mon." " Move those legs." " No answer?" " No, no answer." "I went to get mushrooms but didn't find any." "Where did you go?" "Behind my house, the potato field." "It's winter, they don't grow." "Look at this weather, I'd grow if I were a mushroom." " Did you go to the dairy?" " No, maybe later." "That's the first place you should go to." "Same thing, they don't grow in the winter." "There's no sun." "There's gotta be an exception to the rule." "We should find at least one." " So, what happened?" " David." "Here's the wanker with the stereo." " Why are you not working?" " We were waiting for you." "Where's the wine?" " Hi Rodney." " The whole tribe is here now." "How's Adriana?" "Don't mention her." "There are issues with her, you know." " Give me a drag." " You know how it is." " It's fucked up." " But the result is good, ain't it?" "They look good, don't they, Rafa?" "They're good, real firm and spiky." " It's plastic, dude." "Plastic." " But they're good." "Besides, it's plastic inside, outside it's still flesh." " Yeah, they're good." " It's fucked up." "Why did you have to tell everyone?" "I told you because you're a friend, but you told everyone." "What did you expect?" "Everyone was there." " Only you there." "Missing." "It's not like that." "Give me some dope." "If you don't do the deed, she goes." "You guys are fucked up." "Never ask me again to get you high." "C"mon, women are like that." "Hey, don't get upset." "TALK SLOW, THINK QUICK." "IF YOU LOSE, DON'T LOSE THE LESSON" "SILENCE IS SOMETIMES THE BEST ANSWER" "The clown sleeps." "You come here to sleep?" "When is your father coming?" "He hasn't come yet." "You can't even open a padlock." "Don't start now, OK?" "Get the cement." "I'll show you how to do it." "You go like this..." "I hope you do it right." " More?" " No." " Is that right, daddy's boy?" " Yes." "Over here, Toto." " Here." " No, thanks." "Go get more." " You want more?" " Or else we leave." "We get thirsty here." "Go." " I have no money." " Buy on credit." "You good for nothing." " I work." " Yeah, right." "Toto, you know the pipe you fixed me?" " What happened?" " It leaks again." " Come, get on." " Okay." " What are you doing?" " I gotta go you never pay." "I'll make me some money." " There's work to do." " Can't do it." "I got you wine, Toto." "Hey, working hard?" "How's work doing?" " Did you get it?" " What?" " The money." " No." "You playing wise here?" " When will you pay me?" " My dad hasn't come..." "That's none of my business." "I have to feed my family, you smart ass." " This jerk off hasn't paid me either." " Don't play games with me." "I want the money." "Call your father and get me the money." "You're a smart ass?" "You owe us all." " It's not my fault." " I want the money." " You got grass?" " Yes." "Let's play ball on the beach." " Why would you stay here?" " Okay." " You're leaving too?" " Yes." "You promise to pay but you never do it." "Look, I got the medicine." "You did?" "Let me see." "I'll show you." "Look at this." "They're small because of the season." "They're loaded, look." " Nice and purple." " Good." "Let's eat one and go to the beach and kick their asses." " I may get a bad trip." " Why?" "My dad doesn't show, I have no money..." "Forget about your dad and the money..." "You're stuck on that." "Eat one, it'll feel like a rebirth." "We'll kick their asses at the beach." "We'll come back and eat the rest." "Eat it." "Bravo!" " Have a pair trunks for me?" "As if I didn't have problems, I come here and find this." "Smoking a joint is one thing..." "But getting high on mushrooms..." "What a dumb ass." "Why?" "Why do you do this?" "You want to hurt me?" "Look at me when I talk." " They're a friend's, not mine." " I don't care" "And there's a bunch of unpaid bills." "The grocer, the bar, the hardware store..." "And it seems I have to pay." "You didn't come." "What could I do?" "You got no sense of shame." "You don't know how bad Blondina is." "Look at her." "She won't recognize anything." "Did you know I had to take her to Montevideo?" "You know how much that costs?" "I'm lucky to have a few friends left." "We came here hoping to get some rest." "And look at this mess." "One misfortune after another." "And you do nothing, not even pretend." "What do I have to do?" "Put up with it?" "Well, no." "No more grants for you." "You get your things and leave." "Let's see what you do on your own." "Where will I go?" "I don't care." "You just leave." "That's it." "Go see the construction, I'm working, dad." "Working?" "Look at you?" "You're a mess." "When was the last time you showered?" "Don't give me that poor-kid face." "This is it." "Basta." "Don't do this to me, dad." "Please." "I swear..." "I swear I'll work." "Do me a favor, David." "Get your things and go as soon as possible." "Have some dignity." "Give me my notebook." "If you want to study in Montevideo and all that, you must finish the house first." "We'll see about your notebook later." "Here." "Don't expect anything else from me." "And take those filthy dogs with you." " Here we are." " Thanks, see you tomorrow." " Don't forget this..." " Thanks." " Have a good one." " Bye." " Elbio." " How are you?" " See you tomorrow." " See you tomorrow." " Any news?" " None, it's pretty quiet." "David, a cop is coming." " What does he want?" " I don't know." " Morning." " Hello, how are you?" " David Olivera?" " That's me." " Something wrong?" " No, just a letter." " For me?" " Yes." " Gotta go." " Thanks." "What's that?" "Open it." "Whose letter?" "Evelin." "What does she say?" "I can't make out her writing." "How many girls are coming?" "How many did he say?" "Like eight of them he said." " That many?" " Yes." "Are you sure?" "That many?" "Yes, I spent the night making calculations." "Pototo, Rafa, Chino, Newspaper guy, Rodney David, you, and me." " Eight of us." " Eight." "Don't spread the word." "It's twenty guys for eight women." " Won't say a word." " Yes, don't ruin it." " The tribe eats first." " Sure thing." " What are you doing now?" " Killing time." " Let's give the kid a hand." " Should we?" " It's 11 AM, he should be there." " Why not." "I'm starving." "Yes, we'll get something to eat." " C"mon, lazy ass." " I'm so lazy today." " Hey Chino." " How are you?" " Let's give David a hand." " Yes, let's do that." " Nice day." " There'll be women." " Yes, let's help David." " Then there'll be party." "We help him finish, the women will come from Montevideo." "We gotta work fast then." "This construction is killing me." "I'm sick of it." "Don't go, make them work." "Aren't they horny?" "I have to be there." "I'm the boss." " To supervise them?" " They screw up if I don't." "They're brutes, dude." "All they think about is drinking and fucking." "Nobody fucks here." "I haven't fucked in months." "My balls are about to explode." "We'll fuck when your girl and her girlfriends come." " Evelin is not my girlfriend." " What?" "It was a summer fling." "I fucked her a few times." "I hope it happens." "It will." "You know what we'll do?" "We'll make mushrooms tea, head to the woods, make a campfire." "Some wine... we'll get them high." "Then we'll fuck." "Fucking high on mushrooms is the best." " I've never done it." " You'll love it." "Very good then." " You stay here?" " Yeah." "Have a mate." " You're not coming for lunch?" " I'll fast today." "Here." "See you." "See you, David." "Say hi to the tribe." "Sons of bitches." "Come, Maraca." " Pototo, what are you doing?" " Hey dude!" " Hold it." " Look at the wall we made for you." " What's this, Toto?" " A wall, dude." " We'll make a mezzanine." " The house doesn't need one." "Look at this house, it needs a mezzanine." "Hey, stop that." " What are you doing?" " This is all crooked." "This is a mess." " Stop it." " I'll make you a new one." "We have no more materials." "Toto, you stop that too." "We have no materials." " We have all this left." " We'll use wood." "My dad'll kill me." " Is it your house or his?" " Mine, but..." "We'll finish it with wood." "Don't worry, have some wine." "We have plenty of wood." " We're almost there." " This is heavy." "We're almost there." "OK, cut here." "You, give me a hand." "Get the ladder out." "Move it." "Leave that wine." "Who told you to drink wine?" " Go up there, I'll help you." " Let's leave it here." "C'mon, up, up." " Rafa, come up here." " You, hold this." "You, get the ladder out." "Move it." "This is off." "No, it's upside down." "Yes, very good." " Chino." " Good, we'll drill it now." "No, put it over here." "If you pump the girls like that, it'll be embarrassing." "Get this strut, Rafa." "Up, up." "Very good." "Further up a bit." "Yes, there you go." "Morning Chino." "Will you just look?" "This is how this goes." "Top side first." " Fit it well." " Shut up and listen." "Top first, then middle and bottom." " Hand me the sheet, David." " Let's hurry up." " Careful." " We're way behind." "Let's work fast." "Hurry up, boy." "Easy, don't hurt yourselves." "Hold it there." " Is it clear there?" " Yes." " The other way around." " No, shut up." " Is it right there?" " Yes." "Hurry up, we've a party coming." " Get this." " Got it." "That's right." "Further in." " There it is." " Do we nail it there?" " Funky roof, uh?" " It's cool." " Was it your idea?" " No, theirs." "Is your girlfriend bringing a girl for me?" "I don't know how many are coming." " I got grass." " Yeah, swing by." "Cool." " Chino, want some dope?" " Let's get a drag." " You have enough of those sheets?" " Why?" " I think you're short of them." " My dad bought them." "Let's get these metal sheets." "You guys get drunk and lose your strength." "Hi boss." " Sit down, David." " Have a drink." "Chino and I cleaned the house." "The roof is ready too." " A toast to the house." " Yes, a toast." " So you worked there?" " Yes, the roof is ready." "Get me a beer here." "Rodney, come here." "Come have a drink." " So we have a party today." " Did you see the house?" " Are the girls coming?" " We're waiting." "They better come." "What time is the party?" " Are they coming, David?" " Yes, they are." "Here's the bus." "Go welcome them, dude." "C"mon, David." "Go for it." "Thanks." " Hi." " Hey, how are you?" " How's it going?" " Good." " And yourself?" " Good." " Your friends?" " He's coming." "Here he is." "Richard, meet David." "Richard, meet Rodney." "Let's get going." " Good trip?" " Uneventful." "I slept all the way." " It's so nice here." " Yes, this is beautiful." " How's the weather?" " Same old." "It rained, it shone." "It's good, we got good mushrooms." " Good." " We can have a good party." " How much longer?" " Right over there." "How's the weather?" "You got nice, sunny days?" "Same old." "Rain, shine, wind, heat." "You've been to the beach." "You got a nice tan." "It's because of work." "Can we switch arms?" "Yes, hold this." "Nice braids." " Like them?" " Love them." " Do they take long to grow?" " These took two years." "Excellent." " What is this?" " It's an angel caller." "Excellent." " It's a C." " Is it?" "C natural." "Great energy." " How's the strike at school?" " The same." " Really?" " Yes." " Did you occupy the building?" " No, I..." "I'm not into politics, activism..." "It's not me." " How's your house coming?" " Good." "We're finishing it." "There's no doors and windows yet, but it's enough for parties." "You can sleep there too." " I'll show it to you." " Sure." " What do you do here?" " Music, basically." "I play songs on my guitar." "But Yoga is what I like most." "Yoga can help mankind evolve." "That's pretty big." " It's looking great." " It smells bad." "This is good." "This is the crown of the mushroom." " These are the stems." " You don't boil them?" "You eat these." "It hits you right in the stomach." "These other ones go to your head." "This blue thing is the acid itself." "What's that construction?" "I'm building my house." " You're doing it yourself?" " Yes." " Just like David." " Yes." "But mine is bigger." " Is it ready?" " Yes, this is good." " Hey, David." "This is so good." " Here." " Thanks." " Hand me that glass." " This one?" "Thanks." "It's bitter." "That's a big branch." " Has it hit yet?" " Not much." " It didn't hit me much." " I got a stomach ache." "Give me a cigarette." "Hey guys, how you doing?" " How are you?" " What's up, man." " Did the chicks come?" " None." "Eight women my ass." "He has a dick this big." "It makes me wanna kick his head." "You broke it, you pick it up." "We'll fuck this guy today." " Let's go fuck him." " Are you sure?" "I'm gonna kill this faggot." "He ruined our party." "I wanted eight women." "I'll rape him violently." "Look at that." "I think it's him." "He's ours now." "He can"t escape." "C'mon, we gotta get him." "C"mon." "Get that faggot, bring him here." "C"mon guys." "You gonna give the gang a blow job." "You gonna suck me dry." "I'm gonna rip you apart, faggot." "Look at me." "Son of a bitch." " Take it easy." " Yes, I'll be gentle with the lady." "Hold on one second." "C"mon now." " It works nice." " My dad is coming." "The man with the money." "What does he want now?" " When will you finish, Andrés?" " This week, I reckon." " Finishing this is important to me." " Should be done by next weekend." "It's really nice here." "Nice and quiet." "No one comes around here." "I'm glad I gave it to my son." "The property value here will raise." "Believe me." "I hope we rent this house and get money to build another one." "Then another one." "Then a whole complex." "If you build a complex, consider me for construction work." "Sure." " So long." " So long." "Dad?" "Hello dad." "Hello." "You're back before sunset." "We finished early today." " How's she doing?" " Better." "Momma, look who's here." "Why do you call her momma?" "She's not my mother." " What did you come for?" " My notebook." "Wait here." "I'll see if I find it." "It's this one, right?" "Yes, great." "Uh..." "What is it?" "Uh..." "I need money to go to Montevideo." "I don't have any." "Can I borrow from you?" " Need more?" " No, thank you dad." "I'll pay you back." "Well..." "I'm going." "So long." " Want to stay for dinner?" " No thanks, I have to study." "...a consequence of awareness of diversity defines the process of social behavior in time and space." " I know nothing." " Same here." "I know McLuhan." "The rest I'll make it up." " The magic bullet?" " Yeah." "Okay kids." "Hand me your IDs as you enter." "Alarcón, Carolina." "Alero, Celeste." "Sit every other row." "Every other row." "Every other row." "You, one row back." "Every other row." "Every other row." "STUDENT RESIDENCE" " Hi, is Jorge Adrián in?" " Who?" "Jorge Adrián Pineda." "Pineda?" "There's no Pineda here." "Sapo, from Rocha." " Ariel Cruz?" " What?" " Ariel Cruz." " You sure they live here?" "I lived with them a year ago." " You know the landlady, Gladys?" " Yes." " Ask her." " OK." " Yes?" " Hi Gladys, remember me?" "Sure, how's your dad?" " Good." " What can I do for you?" "I'm looking for Pineda and Cruz." "They moved out long ago." "Didn't leave a forward address." " A phone number?" " No, you know how they just go..." "That's the problem." "If you need a place to stay I'd be glad to provide." " No, I'm just passing through." " OK." "Look, I have things to do." "Happy new year." "Give your dad a hug for me." " A kiss." " Thanks, bye."
