"You won't call me back." "What's wrong, Sol?" " You know it's over..." " What do you mean?" "Stop it!" "There won't be any more calls!" "What?" "What's wrong with you?" "Hello!" " Who is it?" " None of your business." " What did they tell you?" " I have to wait." "Anyway, I'll see the doctor." "He's a friend of mine." "Anybody for Cardiology?" "How are you?" "Follow me, please." "This way." " Do you know them?" " No, I thought I did." "I was telling my friend that for 40 years" "I went to work by subway." "And with a few exceptions..." "But always on the same car." "Can you imagine?" "40 years travelling..." " A good-luck charm." " Thanks." " Looking at the same old faces as they go changing, as they grow old." "Those you never see again." "Well..." " Good morning." " Hi." "I'll take my tests to the doctor." "Be right back." "Sure, I'll wait for you here." " Your wife looks better." " Yes." "Luckily, she is better." "What about you?" " I'm fine, thank you." " I'm glad to hear that." "How time flies, and we don't even notice it." "One day my old man, after hugging and kissing me, told me, "José, I want to say goodbye because one of these days I'll die."" "I went, "Don't talk nonsense." And he insisted," ""No, son, I want to say goodbye because I'm going to die."" "I kept staring at him, didn't say anything..." "And after a while, I ask him," ""How can you tell, dad?" He looks at me and says," ""It warns you." "You just know." "You can't know the day or the hour but... "" "I thought he had lost it." "But he spoke so naturally that before I could know, they told me he had died." " Your dad was an intuitive man, right?" " Yes... yes." " Oh, Oscarcito." " What's up?" " How are you?" " Fine." " Do you have the tests?" " Right here." " Okay." " Doctor!" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "* * * * She's gonna jump." "SOME PLACE NOWHERE" " Good morning." " Hi." "I'll give the doctor my tests." " I'll wait here." " Yes." " Oscarcito!" " What's up?" " Your tests?" " Right here." "Follow me." "Breathe." "Once again." "The X-rays are okay, the tests are okay." " Are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Why?" " What's wrong, Petiso?" " Heaven knows." "I don't know." "I don't know, sometimes my body aches." "I wouldn't know where or why." "If we just could express what happens to us, everything would be better." "I think I know what's wrong with me." "If you, me, whoever had to mention those things we do just once in our fucking lives, what would it be?" "Neither to eat nor to fuck, luckily." "Reading, celebrate our birthday..." "And I always reach the same conclusion." "Do you know what is it that we do just once?" "To die." "Otherwise a day can die:" "It happens every day." "Or a love can die and another one appears." "But to die is something unique, unrepeatable, there's no second chance, no sequel, no rematch." " Why do you think about that?" " Why?" " Why this one, of all subjects?" " It just came into my head." "You should think about something more vital." "Petiso, death is my job." "I face it every day." "Trying to avoid it, or at least to prevent it." "So stop being a pain in the ass." "Go change and we're off." "So you don't mind coming with me?" "Are you kidding?" "Let's go." "I phoned and came here." "There's no doctor available!" " Everything okay?" " Yes, dear." "Let's go." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "How are you?" " That's her, right?" " Fucking bitch!" "She didn't even notice me." "That broad screwed me up, she ruined my life." "She left me shattered, I can't believe it." "She killed me, she ruined my marriage, she used me." " I'm sorry, Petiso." " It's okay, pal, it's okay." "I swear we were fine, we wanted a life together." "Children, and all of a sudden, everything died." " Petiso, everything died." " See?" "Remember what I was telling you before?" "These are deaths we can talk about." "What can you say about the other one?" "How can you talk about the unknown?" " She was too young for me, right?" " You were better-off with your wife." "And if you're gonna feel like this, you'd rather be alone." " Or with your friend Oscar." " You're such an asshole." " Are you okay?" " Allergies." "Oh..." "Your brother seems to be an asshole." "He's like a brother, but he's not my brother." "You know I don't have siblings." "I've been meaning to drop in." "But I'm traveling a lot and I couldn't come before." " You know?" "As always." " It has always been like this." "I'd like you to stay, I'd like us to be together." "But do whatever you please." "Truly." "Whatever you please." "We are too old to tell each other what to do." "Don't you think so?" " You are sad." " I'm not." "What makes you think that?" "You're almost crying." "Well, I have a class now." " Are you sad?" " I don't like goodbyes, see?" " Do you feel better?" " Yes, a little." "I'm glad I came, Petiso." "You never talked to me about your relationshop with Ana." " It's a very weird one." " Yes." "She seems nice, hip." "I'd love to have the chance to talk to her." "Sure, whenever you want." "I'm off." "Are you coming with me?" "I think I'll stay." " Thanks." " Thank you." "First it was the clot, then the cyst, then the intestinal infection." "The doctor kept telling me I was fine." "Luckily I passed out at his office's door... instead of passing out on the street." "Otherwise I wouldn't be here today." " The surgery lasted three hours." " One!" "What are you talking about?" "Three." "I told you I almost die." "I underwent surgery too." "They removed a tumor Felix's size from me." "The same happened to me three years ago." "They emptied me out." "At least we made it!" "Give mom a kiss, give me a kiss." "I knew it." "Son..." "Oscar." "How nice!" "I kept looking at you." "Even Felix knows you." "I saw you and thought, "This woman looks familiar."" "And I thought, "I'm sure I know this guy."" "Your mother is old, I don't recognize my own son." " Maybe you have cataract." " But I can't have an operation because of my heart." "If I could, I'd rather have a piles operation." "But your tongue works great." "He was the worst of all, a real handful." "It was so hard to wake him up!" "Do you mind if I take her for a walk?" " And the kids?" "How are they?" "Big." " Yes." " You look thinner." " I'm just the same." "Your sister's got fatter." "What do you want?" "Calm down." "Don't get nervous." "He gets excited and pees and poops all over the house." "You must go here, here." "Leave him alone, he's calm." " How are you, honey?" " Fine." "You should drop by more often." "That would make me happy." "I know." "I feel embarrassed about not recognizing you." "Wait for me, will you?" "Lt'll be a second." " Hi." " Hi." " What?" "Are you stalking me?" " No." " Is that your son?" " A friend's son." "Luisa's, who left her phone in my place." "No, a workmate's who left her phone in my bag." " And you left it at home." " And you kindly returned it." " Do you always do the same when you meet a guy?" " Stop it." "Look, you were nice to me, we had a great time..." " What are you doing?" " What's wrong?" " Somebody could see us." " Who?" "My husband, my friend, everybody." "Easy." "Are you happy?" "Yes..." " Who is it?" " A mate of Malena's." "Malena, she's so grown up." "The other day she came to visit me with her boyfriend." " Don't leave without kissing me, huh?" " Come on, mom." "That's right." "You never know when it'll be the last kiss." "Come on, don't talk nonsense." "Why?" "At my age you never know." " At any age you never know." " Don't say such things." " What things?" " Look, walking and talking is really tiring, especially with him." "Say, mom, how old is Felix?" "Let's see..." " Malena is 18, right?" " Yes." " He must be around 17." " Unbelievable." "Poor thing, he's old." "He makes me company, but sometimes he can be unbearable." " Are you always on your own?" " More or less." " Save for a whore here and there." " That's no way to talk to your mother." "Come on, tell me." "More or less, y'know." "Nothing serious." " Do you enjoy it at least?" " Every once in a while." "Yes, daughter, I'm traveling tomorrow but I'll be back next weekend." "I'll call you, okay?" "A big kiss for you and another one for your brother, hon." "Bye." "It's running late." "Maybe it's this fucking watch, I need a new one." " I have to go to school today." " Yes." "I've been absent a lot." "Yes, right." "Yes, school, right." "Hi, honey!" "How are you?" "What do you mean, where I am?" "On the bus." "On my way to meet you." "'Cause I wanted us to be together." "Hello?" "Hello?" "I can't hear you." "How can you say that?" "I'm already on the bus." "But I'm on my way there." "You are a son of a bitch." "The blonde is angry." " Do we know each other?" " No, I don't think so." " Maybe we've passed each other somewhere." "Could be." "You told me that you were alone." "That your wife..." "Wait!" "Your wife or your ex-wife?" "I don't get it." " It's a large country, huh?" " Yes." " Do you travel frequently?" " More or less, what about you?" "Over 40 years now, you don't want to know." "But I'm travelling less and less." "You are awful!" "I can't step down here!" "I swear I can't believe what you're saying!" "I'm visiting one of my children." "I haven't seen him for a long time." "And we really want to see each other." " Do you have children?" " Yes, I do." "Then you'll understand me." "Don't worry." "I'll take a bus back at the station." "Don't sweat." "I'm a fool for believing your lies, for loving you." "You are an asshole!" "The guy must be married." "He lied to her." " I love you." " A son of a bitch." " Hello?" "Are you listening?" " She is a fool." "A cute one." "Can I ask you a question?" "Do you love me?" "What?" "No, no, I can't believe it." "I was an only child from a single mother." "My father had another family in another town." "A lawful family." "He and my mother knew it and had made up a story to conceal it." "When I found it out I wanted to kill him." "Even though he'd come home every fortnight." "He'd stay for a couple of days and then he'd leave again." "One day I went to his house." "I was already a big guy." "I made a racket in front of his wife and kids, and he wouldn't admit I was his son." "At that moment I wanted to kill him." "He almost kills me." "He was a burly man." " How did it end up?" " I don't know, I don't remember." "I think his wife and kids broke up the fight." "What pissed me off was the fact that he disowned me." "That was awful!" "At home, my old man would admit I was his son." "Over the years, he asked me to forgive him." "I was the only one of his children to sit by his deathbed." " When was the last time you saw your son?" " Ages ago." "I wish I were dead." "Can you stay put?" "You're making me nervous." "The square root of 3 times 5." "What was it?" "Fuck off, you and your shit." "It's coming." "Pal, stay put and shut your mouth." "Stay put." "Good afternoon." "This will take just a minute." " My partner and I will rob you..." " What are you doing?" "This is a robbery!" "Cooperate or you'll piss me off!" "Understood?" "Look straight ahead, don't look at me." "Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll collect..." " Whoa!" "Whoa, whoa!" " Thank you." " Calm down." " Shut the fuck up and give me your phone." "Look away!" "You must be aware that we are working here..." "I'm working too, asshole!" "Give me your watch, fucker!" "Give me your watch!" "Give me that lousy watch." " My father gave it to me!" " I give a shit about your father!" " Give it to me." " Give him a break." "You already have everything." " Tell me not to." " Not what?" "Not to kill you." " Don't kill me." " Please." "Please don't kill me." "I need the phone." "I'm a doctor." "You again?" "What's wrong?" "So you are a doctor." "Look away!" " What kind of doctor?" " Wait." " Don't look at me!" " Okay." "What?" "Are you cold?" "This thing's hot." " Look away!" " Okay, take the phone." "Take it." "Let's go, Pollo!" " I wanna go to school." " Shut up!" "You mustn't call me Pollo." "Anybody heard him calling me "Pollo"?" "You, did you hear him?" "Did you?" "What are you answering?" "Do I look like your grandson," " you motherfucker?" " Let's go." "Thank you, God bless you, sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks a lot." "Let's go." "What are you looking at?" "Let's go!" "You start the bus." "Come on." "Hi, Enrique." "How are you?" "Fine, Oscar." "And you?" "Do you know we were robbed on the bus?" "They took the briefcase with the papers, with the checks I had for you, they took them all." "Motherfuckers." "Did you report it?" "Sure, all passengers reported the robbery." " Sons of bitches!" " Yes, what a drag!" "I don't care about the checks, they can't cash them." "But I had personal stuff." "A real pain." " How are things here?" " Quiet." " Too quiet for my liking." " Well, next week" " you'll receive your previous order." " Okay." "If you want to add something, there'll be no problem." " I can send them a mail." " Tell me, were you scared?" " Were they armed?" " You always are a little scared." " Yes, they were armed, a robbery." " Well, Oscar, it's nap time." "I waited just because it was you." " Are you heading back today?" " If I finish everything early, yes." " Are you feeling well?" " Yes, why?" "And you?" "See you next month then." "Or the other." "God willing." "If I need anything I'll call you." "Enrique, I was really robbed." "You believe me, right?" "Anyway, they can't cash the checks." "It's a fake signature." "But yes, I do believe you." "Why should I doubt you?" "How many years have we known each other?" "A lot, I know." "At some point I felt I was telling you things that were not true." "Cut the crap, Oscar." "Bye." "See you, Enrique." "Thank you." "Take care." " Sir." "Sir." " Yes?" " Good morning." " Good morning." " Do you know where the bus station is?" " Yes, sure." "See that street?" "Sir?" "Sir?" "Sir." "Sir..." " I'll call an ambulance." " Sir." "Hello?" "Yes, my name is Oscar." "I have it because I don't know what happened to him." " Maybe an attack..." " What happened?" "I don't know..." "He died." "I think he's dead." "We called an ambulance." "What happened?" "He asked me about an address." "I think he's not well." "There is no pulse." "This man's dead." "Are you related to him?" "I don't know him, but I've just talked to his son." "He lives in a nearby town." "I told him I'd take him there." "Take him there?" " Take him there?" " Yes." "No, that would mean trouble." "No way." "Please, I don't know him either, but he just died." "I promised his son." "You put yourself in a predicament." "You were lucky." "We use this one for transfers, look at the state it's in." "We have two at the hospital." "This one's our last choice." " But I don't know..." " Please." "Where was he from?" " Are you from here?" " No, but I come frequently on business." "Such hard luck, huh?" "Answering the phone." "Having to break the news." "Real hard luck." "Yes, it wasn't very pleasant." " Is it here?" " I think so, the address is..." "Check it out." "Hi." "I'm Oscar." " How are you?" " My deepest sympathies." "Mom, go inside." "Lift up a little..." "That's right." "Calm down, mom, calm down." "Easy now." "A little more..." "There, please." "I'm going back to town." "Need a ride?" " Yes." "Thanks." " I'll be outside." "Thank you." " I'm sorry." " Thank you." ""My dearest one, love of my life," "First I'd like to tell you what I feel deep in my heart and that is that I love you, I adore you." "Also," "I apologize for taking me so long to write these words." "Almost 30 years, but it's never too late when you say what you feel." "I'll love you forever, your Estanislao." There is a PS." ""It must be the second time in my life I grab a pen to write something." "And only to write you." "Eternally in love." "Estanislao Pujol."" "There's nobody there." "They must be at the wake." "It sounds like a Spanish or Italian surname." "It could be Spanish, I think it's Basque." "Tough people, Basques." " Poor guy, what a way to die." " Awful." "What if the letter wasn't for his wife?" "They are workers." "We can give them back whatever we don't want." "We can be nice people too, right?" "Can you be such an asshole?" "What are you talking about?" "You are making no sense." "This is a job." "We work stealing." "You have to work, to steal, and think about other things." "Just do your job." "Idiot." "I can't believe you." "What do you want to do?" "Call the police? "Here I am." "I'm a thief." Will you turn you in?" "This is how our job is." "Otherwise, you're useless." "Bite me, asshole." "You don't tell me what to do." "If I want to give back what I've stolen, I'll do it." "Really?" "Fuck you." "Fuck you, motherfucker." "Filthy bastard." "Give me!" "I'm the one who knows the score." "You don't know shit." "Here!" "Use it at school." "The square root is three something." "Hello?" "Yes." "Yes, of course." "I'm not kidding you." "No, come on." "Is it for real?" "What about the papers?" " Hi, Oscar." " Hi." "I wanted to drop by earlier, but I had a problem." " How are you?" " Fine, and you?" "I'm fine." " It's been a long time." " With the internet, I travel less and less." "It's a shame." "Because nowadays people see each other less." "Well, time goes by, we grow lonelier." "But it must be better for you." "You can spend more time with your family." "Have a seat." " Do you want a coffee?" " Please." "Everybody lives in his own world." "Nobody cares about his neighbor." "Why are you telling me this?" "Do you feel lonely?" "I've always told you:" "You are on your own because you want." "I'm on my own 'cause I didn't have a choice." "Otherwise I would have chosen to be with you." "But you weren't always with me, just sometimes." "I wasn't living here." "You never understood that." "I did understood it." "But, do you know what I liked?" "When you'd say that no other woman made love to you as well as me." "All those things." "You also had your family, your problems." "Do you want me to stay elsewhere?" "No, I want you to stay here." "Let's see how you are." "Show me." "You're just the same." "But I think your eyes are a little paler." "Just the same?" "Yes, as if time hasn't gone by." "But it went by." "I underwent things." "I undergo things." "Yes, years, loneliness, love." "Sometimes, I'm even afraid of dying, out of the blue." "Without saying goodbye to my children, to you." "Sometimes I feel I'm going through life as if I wasn't here." " Do you understand what I'm saying?" " Are you ill?" "No, I'm not." "I know so little about you." "But I think we had wonderful times together." "You never told me a lot about you." "But I did." " I told you everything about me." " Well, you talked, but I don't know if you told me a lot about you." "Are you leaving soon?" " I wanna take a pee." " Wait." " Is this yours?" " Yes." "Here." "Pollo says he's sorry." "It is worthless, you were right." "But he's a nice guy, so here you are." "Not Pollo." "The other kid, who's as good as gold." "Check to see if anything's missing." "Check it, I don't want have any problem." "They are good people, it's just that unemployment is a problem here." " There's nothing missing." " Here, a good-luck charm." "Thank you." "Excuse me, can I borrow a cigarette?" "Thank you." "Be right back." " Can I help you?" " Are you in touch with the kids?" " Is your friend a cop?" " No, he's a local businessman." "He looks like a cop." "See that bird?" "It's not from here, it's Brazilian." "Many years ago, all this land was a swamp." "But after so many birds that ate seeds took a dump here..." "And men used to have a shit here, and animals too..." "People'd come from far away." "A Brazilian with his belly full of Brazilian food used to take a shit here." "After some years a palm grows." "And the other plants too." "Before that, it was a wasteland." "How many times I must have taken a shit here or there!" "I don't even remember where." "Well, it's not that every time you take a shit a tree will grow." "It's just an idea." "After all, God created everything." "Even shit." "Know what?" "If some day I get to die, I want to be buried here or in one of these places or that somebody cremates me and throws my ashes here or there." " Do you think you're gonna die?" " How could I know?" "Could you tell?" "I mean, if some day I get to die." "Who are you to tell me when I'm gonna die?" " Do you live here?" " No." " What are you doing here?" " I work here." "Know something?" "I always dream about my old man." "Always." "Sometimes it drives me crazy." "I think he's calling me and it scares me to death." "And I want to forget the dream." "But other times I say," ""I like to dream about the old man." I loved him so much..." "It's a way of not being alone." "Anyway, it's just a dream." "Sometimes you're a little sloshed, just a little." "And sometimes you just talk nonsense, right?" "Here they are." "They're okay." " Need a ride?" " No, thanks." "I'd rather walk and enjoy the day." "Good luck, see you next time." " Thanks a lot." " For what?" "I don't know if I'd come alone." " Bye, take care." " Bye, Enrique, thanks." " Let me." " Thank you." "Sorry, I was passing by, I saw you and didn't want to interrupt." "This was his last wish." "At least the last one he could express." " Did your husband die of any illness?" " Yes." "But I can't remember of which." "One day he passed away." "Long ago." " Was he your age?" " Five years older." "I feel relieved after having thrown his ashes." " Sure." " I don't konw." "This is a beautiful place to leave the ashes of a beloved one." "Yes, a very beautiful place." "Only that my husband was a son of a bitch." "Yes." "He was my husband but..." "He was a bad guy, he wasn't a nice person." "He was repressed, prejudiced, a chauvinist." "Well, that's the way his parents brought him up." "That's how it used to be." "He wouldn't treat me well." "But we were married for almost 40 years." "The custom..." "I'm no angel either." "No wonder I stayed with him." " How did you know he was my husband?" " I didn't." "Hold on." " Can I read something to you?" " Of course." ""My dearest one, love of my life," "First I'd like to tell you what I feel deep in my heart and that is that I love you, I adore you."

"The number you want to reach..." " He's speeding it up..." " Sure." "At the end he was shattered." " Holes everywhere." " Yes." " Are you drinking alone?" " Oh, I'm sorry." "There you go." "Don't be such a sissy!" " Not today, right?" " No..." " It's weird, isn't it?" " What are you talking about?" "This, all this." "Petiso, the world is weird." "Strange, inexplicable things happen." "For instance, we spend our life looking for something we don't know." "But, do you know what?" "That's interesting." "I agree, we spend our life looking for we don't know what." "But that's the right part." "The good part." "Hey, you were in big trouble with that broad." " I still am, Petiso." " What?" "Are you still in love with her?" "You were telling me something." "A few days ago, I'm walking down the street." "I spot a chick, cute, young, like the ones you like." "She was on her cellphone, she looked distressed, screaming, crying." "Along the street, in broad daylight." "I waited for you yesterday You can't talk to me like that" "You won't come ever again." "Please don't say that!" "Where have you been?" "Don't hang up on me!" "She was crying, I started approaching her." "But the look in her face scared me off." "I played dumb and went on my way." "Half a block away, I go back." "And I accost her." "Are you feeling okay?" " Do you need help?" " No, thank you." "Do you want to go to a bar, take a walk?" "We started talking, I asked her what was wrong." "At a certain point, we were talking." "Her phone kept ringing, but she wouldn't answer." " Do you have a cigarette?" " I don't smoke." " Did you use to smoke?" " I quit after 10 years." " A lifetime." " A lifetime of smoking and of not smoking." "And she started changing." "She smiled." " Why did you talk to me?" " You were sad, I wanted to know what was wrong." "I feel bad because this hysterical asshole makes me sick." " Is he your boyfriend?" " Something like that." "And then I started getting ideas, understand?" " Do you have to go?" " Don't you?" "I don't know, it was cold..." "Maybe we could end up at home, warmer." "Do you know since when?" "Wanna go to your place?" " Don't you think it's cold out here?" " I don't." "Okay, let's go." "She agrees, she was so horny..." "Stop it, Laura." "Oscar!" "Oscar!" "Don't stop!" "I won't stop, I won't..." " Do you mind?" " I don't." "I've never been with a man your age." " How do you know how old I am?" " I can tell." "By your skin, your wrinkles." " How old are you?" " 50." "Everything cool." "She fucked my brains out" "It's been a long time and much less with a girl." "But a crazy one." "Yes." "Listen to me!" "No, no!" "You never called me back, understand?" "So what?" "So what?" "Stop manipulating me!" "How do you open this fucking door?" "I wanna leave." " Will you open it?" " What's wrong?" " You don't have aids, right?" " And you?" "Me?" "I'm not crazy, I'm not a whore." "I had a good time." "Open it." " Open it!" " What's wrong?" "Open it!" "Please, I wanna leave." "Are you crazy?" "Give me my bag." "Don't follow me!" "Go away!" "Hi, Oscar, how are you?" "Your daughter has grown up." "I hadn't seen her for a while." " Bye, good night." " Good night." " Hello?" "Luisa?" " Hello." " Sorry, isn't it Luisa's phone?" " No." " But I found Laura's phone." " It's okay." " Do you want to talk to Luisa or Laura?" " Luisa." " I'm her father." " Ok." " I'll pick it up in a while." " Are you coming?" " If you don't mind..." " Take down the address." "Thank you." " Good evening." "Oscar?" " Yes." "Hi." "I'm Luisa'a father." "Carlos Muñoz, nice to meet you." "I came for the cellphone you found." "It's hers." "Here." "I guess it must be hers." "How could I return your kindness?" "Please, you don't have to." "It was a pleasure." "I'm at your disposal." " Tell me something..." " Sure." " How's your daughter?" " You mean physically?" "She's a brunette, but now she dyed her hair red." "Kids keep changing their hair's color." "She's kind of short, more or less like this." "And absentminded, like every kid." "She keeps losing things." "So, that's it." " It was a pleasure." " Do you see her frequently?" "Of course, she's my daughter." " Why?" " No, no reason at all." " Good night." " Good night." "Thank you." "What if she were a thief and stole cellphones?" "What if she were Luisa and changed names like Superman?" "How could this is happening to me?" "Was it for real or was it a dream?" " I'm glad you came." " I couldn't wait." " Can I offer you a drink?" " No, I'm fine." " I've always thought he was your brother." " Oscar?" "Yes, but he'd always deny it." " I would insist." " Do we look alike?" "I don't know." "If you want, we are brothers." "You may not believe it, but Oscar helped me a lot." "Two years after I arrived in Argentina I had an accident." "A bus pull down the bus stop's pole." "I was at the bus stop, talking to a workmate." "The pole hit me so hard that split my head open." "Wow!" "During six months nobody knew if I would make it." "I was unaware of the situation, 'cause I was in a coma." "I know." "And suddenly, one day you woke up." "All of a sudden, I started again." "Well, things went little by little, because I needed rehab." "At that time I met Oscar." "He was the only one in the room at that moment." "He was visiting a relative of his who was in the bed next to mine." "I fell asleep with a black beside me and woke up with a white." "Oscar is so white!" "Like you." "You look like Europeans." "Well, I had European relatives." "Actually, my grandparents." "Oscar kind of taught me how to live again." "And we fell in love." "It was a nice time for both of us." "He helped me a lot." "Besides, he was alone, separating from his wife." "And I was alone." "My man had run away with another woman." "I will always love Oscar." "A lot." "It's okay." "You have to value the time you spent together." "You had fun, you had a go." "What else?" "That's affection." "Everything else is just words." "You could actually be Oscar's brother." "Anita..." "It's a pity I have to go." "Thanks for coming." " Please come back." " Well, of course." " Bye." " Bye." "What's up, Tito?" " I'm beating you, asshole." " In your dreams." "Surgeon's hands, you sissy." "Look." "Son of a bitch." "I can't do it." "Never could." "José can do it, I can't." "Remember Big Nose?" "He could throw a stone." " Son of a bitch!" " Surgeon's hand, you faggot!" "There it goes!" "There it goes!" "Son of a bitch!" "How can you reach such a distance?" "Son of a bitch!" " Wouldn't you like to stay?" " Where?" "Here, and enjoy all this." "Enjoy a friend's company." "Enjoy life, Petiso." "Where the hell would you want to go?" "And your children." "The people you love, your work." "Your friends, what are friends for?" "What am I for?" "What for?" "You tell me, pal." "I don't want to go anywhere." "Besides, why are you telling me this?" "Don't play the fool, Petiso." "You understand what I'm saying." "You understand, don't you?" "We want you to stay here." "Here." "Do you understand?" "Despite they screw up our jobs, despite women fuck us up." "Despite having to run for the money." "Do you know a better place than this?" "Quit the bullshit, Petiso." "I've been sleeping for ages!" " What about you?" " I fell asleep too." "I guess we had too much wine." "I even dreamt about a patient." "What was the last time you slept like this?" "Outdoors?" "A long time ago." " Do we have to go?" " Not yet." "D'you know what the patient told me?" ""Doctor, if I get worse, don't think it twice." "Just shoot me three times." "I'd rather people remembered me when I was healthy." " He said that in your dream?" " It was longer, I just remember that part." " Who was the patient?" " Abel." "A cool, fun guy." " Is he called Abel?" " Yes, Abel, you asshole." "I had a dream too." "But I don't remember it." "Shall we go?" "Let's go." "Oscar!" "Did you fall asleep?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "You were sleeping and I fell asleep." " But what are you doing here?" " I'm caring for you." " And dad?" "Where is he?" " Dad's gone long ago, mom." "But he didn't say he was going out." "You were sleeping and so you didn't hear him." "Why did you stay here?" "He went to see your siblings." "Are you deaf or what?" "When I got here he had already left." "You were late again, you'll never learn." "Late for work, late for school." "Oscar, wake up." "Oscar, open your eyes." "Oscar..." "Oscar..." "Hello?" "Dad." "Dad." "Are you there?" "I've been calling you for two days." "I call at your place, at your cellphone." "You never answer." "I guess you are with a woman." "Well, call me, we must plan your birthday party." "I'd like to see you." "It's been a long time." "I send you a kiss." "I hope you're fine." "Bye, dad."
