"You have to be patient, and although everything looks lost you must have faith in your destiny." "Finally, true love will come your way. "" "And what does it say about the weather?" "Sunny on Saturday but partly cloudy on Sunday." "Great!" " Hi, Lu." " Hi there, Ale." "What's with the smile?" " Haven't you two got anything to do?" " When, at the weekend?" " Yes, I'm going to Areco." " With Javier?" " He's invited me to meet his folks." " He's dead serious!" "You can't imagine the text messages he sends me..." "Boss, can I leave early?" "I want to leave early to make the most of the weekend, please..." " Let her go..." " Please..." "Get out of here!" "Get out!" "Thank you!" ""Every time I show a flat, I see myself there with you and time passes much more quickly... "" ""I think I'm falling in love with you, Lucía. "" "My name's Alejandra!" ""I think I prefer to sleep alone tonight. "" " Hey!" " No, no..." "That wasn't the one I wanted to show you..." "LOVE B Y ACCIDENT" "I'm not so sure about all this." "I want to be alone for a while, see?" "If we go together this weekend it'll be much harder." "This isn't easy for me, you know." "I forgot the glass of wine." "White wine, right?" "Red." "Slowly." "Let me do it..." " Hey!" "There's a bit of cork in it." " It doesn't matter." " Hang on." " Get your fingers out of it!" "They're not in it." "My hands are clean." "You've just been touching money!" "I saw you." " OK." "Shall I open another bottle?" " No, forget it." "I have to go anyway..." " Will you fetch me later?" " You're not listening!" "I'm going alone." "Maybe we can meet up later to talk about your problems because..." "There's nothing wrong!" "Nothing!" "I just want to be alone." "Sorry." "Get out, kid!" "We're busy." "Pay and get out." "What do I owe you?" " What did you serve him?" " Uh?" "What did you serve him?" "A glass of wine." "A glass of wine, seven pesos." " What happened, Hernández?" " Sorry, Gutierrez, I couldn't arrive earlier." " Didn't you hear my messages?" " What messages?" "Well... go on." "You're expected in two minutes." "Mrs Freire, the flat on Echeverría St., fifth floor." "Where you were yesterday." " Fifth?" "Sorry..." " No, just go." "Don't say a word, just go." " Mrs Freire?" " Yes." "Good morning." "I'm Javier Hernández, from the agency." "Good to meet you." " They said at three." " Yes." " It's twenty past three." " Yes, the previous client was late, which had a sort of domino effect and now I'm the one who's late." "Go in." "Well, as you can see, this is a very light flat." "It looks north-west; the best." "There's sun morning and afternoon." "Large living room." "Twelve by five." "Let me just check..." "That's right, twelve by five." "A good sized living room..." "Yes." "Spacious." "If you like..." "we can see the kitchen." "It has looks out onto the back." "Nice view." "Can I show you the kitchen?" "Follow me." "Well, the kitchen is brand new." "It has very good deep cupboards." "The owners are leaving a few things;" "a fridge freezer, the air conditioning units stay." "The services are all individual." "It's a spacious kitchen." "If you like it..." "Shall I open the curtains to let more light in?" " A couple with no kids live here, is that right?" " Yes, yes." "Sorry, are you looking for an apartment just for yourself?" "No, I'm married." " You're not too sure, are you?" " No..." "Yes, it's nice." "You're after something bigger, more modern." "Let's see, this flat is very nice but..." " The kitchen's small, let's be honest." " It's not that." "But it's not the type of flat you're looking for." "There's something missing..." " I can show you another." "Brand new..." " No, not a brand new one." " No, it's the price." " The price isn't the problem." "I've seen some new ones but can't decide." "I need to see them inhabited." " Inhabited?" " Lived in." "There's a great decorated flat in Palermo." "You'll love it." "You'll love it." "Very well decorated." " Hello." " Hello." " How are you?" " Fine." " Shall we go up?" " They're bringing the key." "We need to wait a bit." "Punctual." "I mean me." " What a day, eh?" " I prefer cloudy days." "Of course." "There we are." "Good morning." "Here's the key." " You can go in." " Thank you." " I'll be here whatever you need." " Thanks." "I can't talk, mum." "I don't know if I'll make it this weekend." "I'm working." "Yes, Saturdays too." "I can't talk." "I'll ring you later." "You've found the dresser." "Real luxury." "I'd like to see another apartment tomorrow." "This one's not bad, but I don't know..." "Have you got time?" "More than enough, but it's Sunday tomorrow." "On Monday then." "Shall we go?" "On Monday I'll show you one you'll adore." "Aren't the owners of the flat in?" "No, they're at work." "They come home late." "What a nuisance!" "Come back in an hour." "Antonio has the key and he went to lunch." "He'll be back in an hour." "Fine, thanks." " What shall we do?" " Lf you can come back in an hour..." "The flat's really worth seeing." "Sorry." "No problem." "What can we do?" "See you in an hour, then." " At two o'clock." " At two o'clock." "There are some bars round the corner where you can have a bite to eat..." " OK." " At two o'clock?" " At two o'clock here." " Sorry." "Thanks." "I went over the road but there was no room." " I'll have the spinach gnocchi." " Why not the chicken with salad?" " Let me have the gnocchi, Teresa." " Alright, do as you like." "I won't say another word." " Take the bread basket away." " Let me know when you've decided?" "Ah, no." "You can take that away..." "Give it to me." "Can I order?" "I'll have an omelette with green salad." "A schnitzel with purée potato." " Are you together?" " No." " No." "But we know each other." " Alright." "And to drink?" " A glass of red wine, please." "We don't do the glass." "How about a bottle of house red?" " That's too much." " It's fine." "We can take the full bottle and share it." "Ah..." "OK... fine." "I'll just have a glass." "I'll look after you..." "Schnitzel with purée, omelette and a bottle of house red." " And a green salad." " OK." "Thanks." "The flat we're going to see is amazing." "It's split-level and has those chairs you literally sink into..." " Pouffes?" " I beg your pardon?" " Aren't those chairs called pouffes?" " Uh... they're really soft... uh... soft..." "The owners were ambassadors in Italy," " cultural attachés or something." " Good." "It has a dresser you'll like." " Have you ever been to Italy?" " No." "Chicken with salad." "Omelette." "That dish looks lovely!" "It's very simple, Jorge." "It doesn't mean starving." "By just cutting out pasta and puddings it's enough." "What was that about the four "p's"?" " No, the three "p's"; pastas, puddings..." " Poultry." "...and potatoes." "The guy was following me." "I was in the car but it'd all gone wrong..." "I'd caught my dress, my eyeliner had run." "I just wanted to return to the hotel and sleep till the next day." "So I got out of the car and saw my friend Ema making signs to me." "I had no idea what she meant." "Then I caught sight of the Italian who came up to me, knelt down and said;" "Tu sei bella, tu sei bella, bellisima, so I said;" "Look, Tornatore, or whatever the fuck your name is, lo sono bella ma también soy molto mala." "Well, he understood every word and didn't bother me ever again." " Were you single?" " At that time all I wanted was to be an actress." "I used to dream about the big screen, the theatre." "I studied drama for two years." "I got married much later on." "Ice cream with chocolate." "You're happy, aren't you?" "That's good, uh, that's good..." "No, hang on, hang on." "That's not all." "When I told her I was from Areco, she gave me a book of country photos and started talking about rural things." " That's because she was a kid." " Yes." "Then she found out about the festival of the Areco pastie." "She did." "So she says;" "Let's go and see." "We'll go to the Areco pastie festival and I can meet your parents too." "Well..." "Love and all." "But you're you and I'm me." "I know." "Let's drink to that." " But I like mystery." " Fine." "Get me?" " A toast?" " What shall we drink to?" "To mystery?" "To mystery." "Cheers!" "I said I could only have one glass..." " Was the sun out when we went in?" " Yes." "What time had we said?" "I don't remember..." " Is it this way?" " No, that way." " I was going the wrong way." " It doesn't matter if we're late." "We've got all afternoon." "Hi." "I'm at the Dorrego apartment." "I'm showing it." "Don't shout at me!" "They didn't leave the keys so I had to..." "Don't shout!" "Yes, she's very keen." "I can't talk now." "I'll ring later." "I'm very dizzy." "Yes, yes..." "I can't breathe..." "God, the carpet!" "My God, I'm such an idiot!" "Bring a..." "There's nothing here!" "What's the time?" "No, no, not the carpet!" "Are you feeling alright, lady?" "Just say the word and I'll stop." "The car isn't mine." "Go on!" "Are you in a hurry?" "Go on!" "I'm a painter, that's my line." ""If you find hard to leave home, let the colour come to you"" "...basically a person addicted to gambling, drugs, food, cigarettes, alcohol is a person who has a tendency to fall and needs to find new energy outside himself or calm himself down with things outside himself." "But if you look at this from another perspecetive if you see a person who's falling, who is going downhill, is depressed..." "Careful, this is a series of very complex issues, and there's an organic factor that makes outside pressure a reality." "The part that wants more and more is a part of life, it conditions the internal world too to seek more and more and it can't stop because deep down we're saying;" ""Why can't you do it?" "Why do you get all fanciful?" "Perhaps he hasn't the nerve to say;" ""I've got nothing else to eat"" "That has value for me." "For example, or because I have so many things that mean time and effort that I need something for which I don't need to make an effort." "The pleasure in calming the effort becomes another more complex effort." " Hello." "Hello." "Could I speak to Luis, please?" " Yes, speaking." "Who is it?" " Luis, it's Mónica," " the passenger in your taxi today..." " Ah... yes, how are you?" "Fine." "I'm calling to see if you could give me a quote for the painting job I told you about." " Who is it?" " Luis." " Who?" " Luis Ordoñez, madam." "The painter, the taxi driver." "One second." "Shit." " Hello." " Good morning." "Good morning." "I'm a little early because I came in the taxi." " What's the time?" " Eight o'clock." "How are you?" " Feeling better?" " I was asleep." "Oh, sorry." "I woke you up." "I'll come back later." "No, no, no." "You're here now." "Well..." " This is what needs painting." " I see." "Fine." "So we're getting rid of the tigers!" " OK, have you had it long?" " What?" "The paper." "I don't know what state the wall underneath will be in." " See, there are a few damp patches." " I have absolutely no idea." "Sea green, what do you think?" "A light colour to cheer the place up." "Light green?" " I hadn't thought about the colour." " Ah..." "I've been using light green in the houses of several clients" " and now they're like summer houses." " Well, well." " I'll just have look at the bedroom." " No, no, no." "There's no need." "You're not going to have that done?" "It's a shame not to do it." "Once I start, I can easily do the whole lot." " How much would it come to?" " This?" "Let's see..." "Here we'll need twelve, fourteen, Let's say fourteen litres of paint." "That's around seven hundred pesos, plus a thousand for labour, that makes one thousand seven hundred." "But I can leave it at one thousand five hundred." "I can't go any lower..." " Good." " Yes?" "You're happy with one thousand five hundred?" " That's fine." " When shall I start?" "Tomorrow?" "If you could give me something now I can buy the paint." "Ah..." " OK, I'll get some money." " Yes, take your time..." "Is that OK?" "Yes, perfect, great." "I'll write you a receipt tomorrow." "What time shall I come tomorrow, so as not to wake you up?" "You decide." "Here are the keys." "There's one for this door and one for downstairs." " I'd like to go back to bed now." " Yes, fine." "We'll start tomorrow." "If you come at this time I'd ask you not to wake me." " No, no, I'll be very quiet." "Bye." " Bye." " Oh!" " Sorry." "I wanted to change in the bathroom." "The other one was full of stuff." " Go on." " Sorry." "Excuse me." "Sorry." " What is it?" " I need newspaper." "Do you have any, by any chance?" " Have a look in the oven." " No..." "I need newspaper." "Look in the oven!" "Ah..." "OK." "I'll have a look." "Great, I'll get back to work." "Would you mind if I listened to the radio?" " No." "But it doesn't work." " I've got my own radio." " How long will you be?" " Here?" "No more than four days, five at the most." "The tigers were the problem here..." "More than six days and it's not worth my while." "I'll try and finish as quickly as possible, I promise." "I want to finish sandpapering today so I'll stay as long as I need." "If you don't mind I'll shower here, to hurry things up." "OK." "I'll get back to work." "Busy!" "I'll be right out." "Just a second." "Yes, green's very popular right now." "Excuse me?" "These bags are so flimsy!" "I was scared they'd break." " Here, I'll take them." " Thanks." "Luis, what do you think of this material for the armchairs?" "Let's see." "Maybe." "Let's see the others." "Aagh!" "A cockroach." "There!" "Look, look!" "It's getting away." "Catch it, quick." "Kill it, please." "It's disgusting!" " Panic over." " Don't leave it there." "Not with that!" "Good morning," "I need a quote to cover some chairs." "Three." "No, no, no." "I don't want it." " Don't you want me to hang it over there?" " No, I don't want it." "I don't want to see it any more." " Are you going to throw it away?" " It's yours." "Do you want it?" " Seriously?" " Take it." "Well, thank you." "It's a gorgeous... present." " Hello." " Morning." "I've got the poison." "I'll leave it here." " Could you spray later, please?" " Yes, yes." "I'll do it." " I'm going to wash my hands." " These things don't do much good." "What you need here is a cat." "There are loads where I live, and down here you'd never guess." " Are you cooking?" " Yes, I made pasta." "I found some tomato sauce and some vegetables." " Can I offer you some?" " No, thanks." "I'm not hungry." "I've done the whole packet." "There'll be a lot left over." " I was going to eat a little rice." " Alright." "Hang on, hang on." "Not those plates." " There are some nicer ones up there." " Here?" "Those ones, that's it." " Serve me a little." " So you've given in to temptation." "I wouldn't mind a glass of wine." "I don't know where I put it." " There was some open round here." " I thought I saw some in the fridge." "In the fridge?" "Ah, yes." " I don't know what this wine will be like." " Has it been open long?" "A few days." " Will you try it?" " Yes, sure." "Pour me a little and I'll try." "Let's see." " Will you have a little?" " No, thanks." " How is it?" " It's perfect." "That's a good wine that is." "Expensive..." " Here you go..." " No, thanks." "I have to carry on painting." " It won't hurt." " Well, just enough to..." " OK." " Good." "I made the sauce with vegetables I found in the fridge." "Great." "I'd throw them out otherwise and that would be a shame..." "Vegetables go off very quickly." "Here you are." "Mmm... that looks good." " Thank you." " You deserve it." " Can I offer you some cheese?" " No, no." " You fixed the guest toilet..." " Yes, that's all OK." "I changed the ballcock." "Nothing to it." "I haven't forgotten." "I owe you the change." " Before I leave I'll change some money." " No, there's no need." "You can give it to me tomorrow, I don't need it." "No." "I'm finishing this afternoon and won't be back tomorrow." "Ah..." "So?" "Do you like the result?" "It needs a little salt." "There's salt on the worktop." "I didn't put much in because I didn't know how you liked it." "It's great with basil." "My neighbour, Marta, taught me how to make it." "She invites me in for a meal sometimes." "I take along some wine." "She cooks." "Homemade." "She does everything." "Meatballs with rice All sorts of pasta." "She occasionally gives me a recipe." "She's got them in a notebook." "They're off rice or pasta packets." "She made tripe the other day." "It was delicious." " Do you like tripe?" " So, you're not going to paint my bedroom?" "Your bedroom?" "You said you didn't want it painted, that it was alright as it was." "Yes, but now I see the living room painted and..." "Do you know I've committed myself to another client." " But I can send a friend." " No." "No, no." "It's fine as it is." " Are you alright?" " No." " It must be the wine." "It's corked." " No." "It's the smell of paint too." "You're obviously not used to it." " What time are you leaving?" " In a while, as soon as I finish." "I'll rearrange the furniture, don't you worry." "If you want to leave anything to collect tomorrow there's no problem." "No, I'd better take everything today to avoid bothering you tomorrow." "Alright." "As you like." "Hello?" "Are you asleep?" "Monica?" "I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye and thank you." "Well, I see you're asleep." "Have you brought the flyers for the play?" "They're in my bag." "Why?" "Do you want them?" "We should be giving them out." "This place is ideal." "Yes, but not now, it's a bit embarrassing." "We'll do it in a while." "Why aren't you drinking?" "Have some beer." " Have this and I'll get another." " No, I don't want any beer." "Here, do you want it?" "Because I don't." " Well, if you don't want it, thanks." " You're welcome." " Bye." " Bye." "See you." " A re-fill, mate?" " Eh..." "OK." " Thanks." " That's alright." " Hello." " Hello." "Alright?" "They're for sale, so just ask." " Do you make them?" " Yes, I make them." "I'm selling them at fifteen pesos the hundred grams." " They're lovely." " Thank you." "If I can help just let me know." " I'm just looking for now." " That's fine." "Thanks for coming." "Ah..." "Go ahead, go ahead." " Sure?" " Yes, of course." "I'm just looking." " It's lovely, isn't it?" " Yes." "They sell them by weight." "Isn't that weird?" "Yes, that's Catalina for you." "Are you a friend of hers?" "No, I don't know anyone here." "Well, I know you... just a little." " What's your name?" " Julia." " I'm Luis." " Nice to meet you, Luis?" "Thanks." " You paint, don't you?" " Yes..." "How did you guess?" "Because you've got paint on your hands." "I've just finished a job and didn't have time to wash." "What do you paint?" "Eh... houses, furniture, whatever comes along." "Bodies?" "Faces?" "No..." "What are you laughing at?" "Nothing." "And what do you do?" " I'm an actress." " Wow, an actress." "You're on TV, right?" "No." "I've been offered a few things this year but nothing very good." "Look, Juli, which do you prefer;" "this one or this one?" " Hi." "How are things?" "I'm Ana." " Luis." "Nice to meet you." "Do I know you from somewhere?" "Are you an actor?" "Me, an actor?" "No, no way." "I was standing over there and you gave me your beer." "That's right." "How stupid!" "I'd forgotten." " Luis was telling me he paints." " Yes, I..." " Are you a friend of Catalina's?" " This place is full of artists!" "No, I just came by chance really." " And as I saw these things..." " What do you think of all this?" " Of the rubble?" " No, of the conceptual idea." "In some way Catalina's criticising the institutionality and fetichism of art works." "What she does is very interesting but quite honestly, it's nothing new." "I don't think Cata's intending to be avant garde with all this." "She's having fun." "Putting work on show in a greengrocer's is amazing." " What do you say, Luis?" " What?" " What do you think of all this?" " The rubble is just that... to be thrown out." "It's great that someone's picked it up to paint it." "And if you can make a living from it, fine." "Cata's doing this as she was exhibiting in an art gallery but her work was stolen, there were problems with the owner so..." "Poor thing!" "But she'll have to be careful here too because anyone can come by and take some of the rubble" " Have you given out the flyers?" " Lola, don't be such a pain." "We're having fun." "We're not going to spoil it by giving out flyers." "I'm going to say hello to Catalina." "Luis, we're actresses." "We're doing a play by Fernando Mazarello." "At nine o'clock on Fridays." "We'd like to invite you." " To the theatre?" " Come along, tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" " Yes, go on." "We'll leave a couple of tickets in your name with a discount." " Luis is the name." "Great, thanks." " I'll make a note" " Luis, discount." " See you tomorrow." "Bye." " Bye." " Let's see;" "Luis..." "No, no." " Luis Ordoñez?" "No." "There's nothing held in your name." "But I was with the actresses yesterday and they said they'd leave a ticket in my name with a discount." "Look, in a few minutes the reservations fall." "Wait a while and if I have a ticket left over I'll sell you it." "But I can't give you the discount." "It'll be twenty pesos." " It doesn't matter." "It's OK." " Please wait to one side." " Yes, yes." " Hello." "Good evening." "Luis." "I have one ticket left." "Susana, did you get the tomatoes for the salad?" "No, they're too expensive." " What'll we have with the barbeque?" " There's broccoli in the fridge." " And beans." " I don't like beans." "Is the meat ready?" "I'll check the barbeque since nobody lifts a finger in this place." "Marta's leaving." " What are you writing, Noelia?" " A poem." "A poem?" "Since when have you been a poetess?" "Since yesterday." "Let me tell you, Susana." "I was walking down the street when I saw him." "A gorgeous man." "It was a brief encounter." "I can't stop thinking about him since then." "Having a piano doesn't make you a pianist, like having a barbeque grill doesn't make you an expert cook." " What are you talking about, Marta?" " The meat's burnt." "What are we going to do with the guests?" "Shall we order sushi?" "Sushi makes me horny." "Maki, sushi, origami, arigato;" "Goodness, how hot this dish makes me feel." "My tongue is insatiable, all I want is the arakiri of your saber." "Use me, my emperor, my treasure island," "Now that the wasabi is coming out of my pores," "I want the honey from your cane, penetrate me the way Spain did." "Oh, my beloved, my God of the heavenly locks," "You will be my Samson, and I your Delilah, from Bernal." "That's why I send you this card, to tell you I love you and I'm yours." "I've eaten sushi and am feeling horny." "Please devour my Coronda strawberry." "Then peel your banana so we can eat fruit till morn." "You don't make eye contact!" "I don't realise I'm not looking at you as I'm so involved right then." " No, you're not involved." "I'm alone." " But you didn't give me my cue." "Hello." "Hello." "I'm Luis." "From the greengrocer's." "Yes, how are you?" "So you came." "Yes, of course I came." "I loved it." "I loved the play." "The three of you were very good." " Did you enjoy it?" " Yes, it was great." " I left the tickets in your name, didn't I?" " Yes, yes." "I only used one as I was going to come with a friend but in the end he couldn't make it so I only used one." "I was in the first row so it was great." "What shall we do with José?" "He wants to know if we're going to eat." " Julia, do you remember Luis?" " Hi." "How are things?" " Did you come to see something here?" " I saw your play." " The girls invited me yesterday." " Ah..." "I didn't know..." " It wasn't a good performance..." " I loved it." "And the audience too." "Your monologue was amazing." "I was really moved..." "What shall I tell José?" "Are we going to eat or not?" " Yes, let's go." " Where?" "I want to say something." " Can we go and eat?" "I'm starving." " Yes, let's go." " I 'ave to tell José where." " Ana, you're dropping your h's." "Really?" "I never realise." "You're out." "Out." "You lost because you showed your teeth." "Come on, your turn." " We saw your top teeth." "You're out." " No, I'm not out." "Hands crossed." "Hands crossed and up." "Let's see who can." " It's very hard." " That's the problem." "You're cheating!" "Again, here goes." "Crossed and up, crossed and... oops!" " Luis, do you know Juan Cavia?" " No." "He's an art collector." "He's very well connected." " You ought to meet him." " Me?" "What for?" " You paint, don't you?" " Yes, yes." "Here's my card." "Fernando, not everyone likes making contacts." "Perhaps Luis has never heard of Juan Cavia." "I want to give him a hand." "It's not easy to make a living from painting." " There's a party at Juan's tomorrow." " Yes, a really trendy cocktail." " You should go, Luis." " I'm going, of course." " But I'm playing tomorrow." " What time are you playing?" " Eight in the evening." " No, I won't make it." "I've got my dad's birthday and then I'm going to Juan's party." " Lola?" " No, I can't José." "I'm rehearsing the other play." "Hey, nobody's coming!" "Luis, you're coming, aren't you?" " Where?" " I'm going outside for a cigarette." " Come on, Luis..." " It's in San Telmo, right?" "Yes, at the La Scala in San Telmo." " At eight?" " Yes, at eight." " Do I need to buy the ticket right now?" " No..." "Thanks." " You don't smoke?" " Never." " But you've always got a light..." " My dad used to say that a real man has a light in one pocket and a flower in the other..." "How romantic..." " Was your father a painter, too?" " A painter and a poet, but more of a painter than a poet..." "The poet thing was a hobby..." "He wrote all his poems for my mother." " How nice that they loved each other so much..." " Yes, very much." "You know that when dad died, mum couldn't bear it..." "She fell ill suddenly and in a year she followed him." "That's quite common... it happens when two people love each other very much..." "Yes." "Or rather when the one left has no life al all outside the couple..." "I'm not talking about your folks..." "I mean in general..." "Yes, yes..." "Do you fancy going to José's concert tomorrow?" "Can you hear the birds?" "Yes, I can." "Beautiful." "It's like music." " After you." " Thanks." "Yes, go on." "I'm whispering because Marta, my neighbour, must be asleep." " What a lovely smell!" " Isn't it?" "There are gardenias, honeysuckle... in summer this flowers no end..." "This way." " Does someone else live in there?" " Yes, yes." "Well." "This is my place." "Make yourself comfortable." "Thanks." "I'm going to prepare pasta and to open the wine." " You like spaghetti, don't you?" " I love it." "I use olive oil, tomato and a little basil..." "But as I haven't got any it'll be without basil today..." " I see you like cooking." " Yes, I love it." "And much more when it's for someone special." " Is this picture yours?" " Yes, of course." " I was given it a few days ago." " So you didn't paint it." "No." "How could I paint a picture like that?" "Lmpossible!" "Well, it's not that horrible..." "I'll prepare the sauce." " And where are your paintings?" " What paintings?" " Have you been decorating?" " What?" "Did you say something?" " Have you been decorating?" " No, no way." "I spend all day painting, so the last thing I'd do is paint my own house." " Where do you paint, Luis?" " What do you mean, where do I paint?" "Wherever; houses, shops, apartments..." "Wherever I can." "Why do you ask?" "You don't want to have your place painted, do you?" "Your friend plays really well, doesn't he?" "Yes, he plays well." "It was amazing how he moved his fingers." "You're very beautiful, Julia." "Is the food ready?" "The food..." "Julia?" "Julia!" " What are you looking at!" " No, nothing..." " Nobody's dancing." " Ana, this is a cocktail, not a party." "You don't dance at a cocktail." " You trod on me!" " I don't get it." "Does Juan live here?" " He lives upstairs." " Where is he?" "Has anyone seen him?" " No, he never appears." "He stays alone upstairs." "Weird!" "You've got some strange friends!" "Here's Julia, alone..." "How strange!" " Hi, Juli" " Hi there." " So?" "What happened?" " We thought you were coming with Van Gogh." "What an idiot you are!" "No, nothing." "We had a drink at his place and he stayed." "He didn't want to come." "What a shame he's not coming." "I really like that guy." "You must give me his phone number." "Well, if you like him that much you go out with him then..." " What's up?" " What's up with you?" " Hey!" " Go and have a drink, Julia." " Yes, because you're all unbearable." " Yeah, it might do you good..." "Juli, don't get so upset!" " And that one?" " She wouldn't even look at me." " That one?" " Too blonde." "A double whisky, please." " Have you got a light?" " No." " Have you got a light?" " I don't smoke." "Do we know each other?" " Don't you play tennis?" " No." " Do you play tennis?" " Yes." "I play ping pong." " You're kidding?" " No." "I'm a little paranoic, sorry." "And that one?" "That's my girl." " I see you needed a drink." " Yes." "I've had a weird evening." " Is it true you play ping pong?" " Yes, I love it." "I play almost every weekend." "I have a friend who has a table." "Ping pong and fishing are my favourite sports." " Do you fish?" " No." "I'm an actress." "Ah..." "How silly." "I don't know why I said that." " Because you've had a weird evening." " No doubt." " How did you get here?" " I'm friends with the guys in the group MONDONGO." " Do you paint?" " No, not at all." "I'm a film director." "I'd love to make films." " Do you like that one?" " No." "Really?" "I love it." " What do you see in it?" " I don't know." "It has something." "It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen." " You don't understand a thing!" " What do I have to understand?" "Those blobs." "I could do that!" " You, paint?" " Yes, I can paint." "I painted at primary school." " Ah... come off it..." " Sorry." "Have you seen a small, dark-haired girl with a fringe?" " No." " OK, thanks." "He meets a beautiful actress and falls in love." "He sends her the script for a film and she's fascinated by the story." "He offers her a part and she's really happy to accept." "But there's a problem." "No producer wants to finance his film." "So the director searches and searches until finally he meets a producer to finance the film but in exchange for something." "What?" "The producer asks him to take the train to a nearby town and at the station look for a guy in a grey suit and hat, give him the password and take a suitcase from him." " You can guess what's inside the suitcase." " Yes, of course." "And?" "I continue." "The director doesn't know what to do." "Without a suitcase, there's no film, and no film means no girlfriend." "But there's something I haven't told you yet." "She receives an offer to go on tour with the play she's in..." "Well, lots of other things happen." " And then what?" " You'll have to see it." "I'm not telling you the end." "It's one of the best films I've ever seen." " Is your film good?" " We'll have to see." "It's not finished yet." " But you must have an idea." " The actors are very good." "I'd love to make a film." "But I've already said that, haven't I?" " This fresco moves me." " This one?" "María, what do you see in it?" "Are you going to start again?" "My gran could have painted that." " Do you know what I think?" " Come on, what do you think?" " You sound as if you've got a chip on your shoulder." " Oh, yeah?" "So why are you with me?" "Why don't you go with one of these... artists?" " Go with that rasta guy!" " Don't point!" "You're unbearable!" "This party's pathetic." "I want to go home." "Let's go." " You go, I'm staying." " Oh, alright, I'll go then." "OK." " I'm leaving." " Good." " OK, fine." " OK, I'm leaving!" "Excuse me." "Have you seen a small, dark-haired girl with a fringe?" "Look, kid, you asked me that an hour ago and I said no." " I thought you'd left..." " No, how could I leave?" "Actually, this fresco's really good..." " Shall we go home?" " Let's go." "Let's see;" "Here are your whiskies." " Gentlemen..." " Gentlemen..." "Again?" " Here are your whiskies, gentlemen." " Perfect!" " Again." " Here are your whiskies, gentlemen." "I can add something to the dialogue." "What?" "Would you like to order?" "The thing is that the scene begins..." "No, that's fine." "It could begin there." "Why not?" " Would you like to order?" " A whisky, please." " You go off." " And I come on again." " And you say;" " Here are your whiskies, gentlemen." " Thanks." " Are you in this production?" "I'm an actress." " Ah..." "What do you play?" " A waitress." "Ah, you play me!" " Julia, isn't it?" " Yes, what's up?" "A thousand things." " I'm going to say hello to Max." " No, he's talking to the director of photography..." " How long before we begin?" " An hour at least." "You can wait here or go for a walk, as you like." "Good." "Guys, where are the sound engineers?" " With a fifty lens it would look like that." " Perfect." "I like it." " Your idea is to bring them closer?" " How would it look with an eighty?" "Who's smoking?" "Smoking's not allowed." " Fine." " I see it better with a fifty." "A question; if I want to do a close-up does the camera give the parameters?" "Guys, can you clear the set, please?" " Doesn't the bar get in the way?" " The bar doesn't interfere because with a fifty you've got them in range." "No, no, no, no." "If the person starts contradicting himself it's because he's in love." "Not necessarily." "He's been able to escape from his own subjectivity;" " he's taken a step outside himself." " One moment." "Hold it." "There's something odd." "There's something that doesn't work." ""He's been able to take a step outside himself"." " Isn't it odd?" " Odd?" " Odd." " What me?" " Are you comfortable?" " Perfect." " Perhaps the text is a little..." " Odd." " Hard." " Hard?" " Hard." " Hard..." " Hello." "Your coffees." " Lf love for you is..." "No, Max." "Put that in acting terms..." "How do you want me to say it?" "With tears in my eyes?" " No." " How do you want me to say it?" "Let's see..." "Watch the coffee, please." " Does it still wobble?" " Yes." "I'll just take a bit of croissant." "I'll get you another." " And?" "Are you better?" " Perfect." "It's stopped wobbling." "Take the waitress." "She stabilised the table with a bit of croissant." "I don't know if it's the best way." "What I do know is that she did what she set out to do by resorting to the croissant which is what she had at hand." " So, which is my croissant?" " This one." "What you have at hand to say the line." " Something that helps you say it naturally." " Yes, yes." "How would you say it, Max?" "I have no idea." " Hello, Max." " Hi, Julia." "How are you?" "Fine." " How are things?" " Fine." "Very well." "Doing a bit of rewriting." " Have you been here long?" " For a while." " It's a nice bar." " Yes, it's excellent." "It looks good on film, with all the wood, I like it." " Ready?" " Yes." " Is there long to go?" " Half an hour, forty minutes at least." "Max." "There's a problem." " Juan is too bearded." " Yes, I know." "Yes, but the thing is his beard is much more noticeable." "It's fine." "You and I see it but, nobody else will." "Don't worry." " Don't you want me to trim it?" " No, it's OK like that." " Please don't touch it." "I like it like that." " Good." " I'll introduce you." "This is Julia." "She's playing a waitress." " Hello." " Do you need to make her up at all?" " Let's see..." "look at me." "She's OK like that." " You won't be doing close-ups of her, will you?" " No, no." " I'll touch her up before filming." " Great." "I'm going for a smoke outside." "No, no, no, no." "If the person starts contradicting himself it's because he's in love." "Not necessarily." "He's been able to escape from his own subjectivity." "He's taken a step outside himself." "Or perhaps he feels the demands of the others with so much pressure that he's forced to act against his principles." " Would you call that love?" " Cut..." " Here are your whiskies." " Cut." " Why did you come on early?" " You made the sign and I came on." " I didn't make any sign." " You raised your hand." "It's when I drop my hand, not when I raise it." " But you did it differently before so..." " It's when I drop my hand!" "OK?" "Agustín, can you tell me what's happening?" "There was a coordination problem but we've sorted it out." "Can't you agree on some sort of cue or sign?" " Yes, OK Max." " Sorry, Max, I'll do it properly next time." "Come on, please!" "Filming!" " Juan, are you ready?" " Yes." " Pedro?" " I'm dripping with sweat but otherwise fine..." "Can somebody dry Pedro's perspiration?" " Where's Nati?" " Fine, Agustín, if you give them real whisky..." "You are getting pissed!" "Silence, we'll do the shot!" "Sound." "Guys, can you stop the traffic, please?" "Sing." "Ninety, Three." "Seventh." "Camera." "Action!" "If the person starts contradicting himself it's because he's in love." "Not necessarily." "He's been able to escape from his own subjectivity." "He's taken a step outside himself." "Or perhaps he feels the demands of the others with so much pressure that he's forced to act against his principles." "Would you call that love?" "It's not a question of exerting one's will over the others." "Narcissism... narcissim... well..." " Here are your whiskies..." " Cut!" "Let's break for five minutes." " We're wasting a lot of time..." " Well, you brought her in, Max." "Yes, yes, I know." "But well, help me work this scene out..." "Look, Max, the scene's working well, the problem's Julia, she's nervous, she's doing what she likes." "Max, sorry, I'm not feeling too well." "I'm a bit dizzy." "Agustín shouts at me all the time." "Julia, I only have one reel of film left." "You're an actress." "I never thought this could happen." "Yes, I know." "But I'm a little anguished." "I thought you and I were going to get along a lot better." "Julia, we're making a film." "I thought you wanted to be part of it..." "Fine, but I'm not being treated very well here." "I have to be here 3 hours early, You tell me to do this or that..." "Nobody wants me around..." "I don't feel very comfortable!" "You said you wanted to be in a film, that that was your dream." "We already had an actress for this role but we gave it to you and now you can't do it." "What can I say?" "Do you want to do it?" "Well, no." "I don't want to do it." "The performance is over." "Agustín, are you receiving me?" " Agustín?" " Do you want to act?" " Me." " Yes, you." "Go on." "Or perhaps he feels the demands of the others with so much pressure that he's forced to act against his principles." "Would you call that love?" "You insist that in order to love one needs to make a sacrifice." "Sorry, I don't agree." "I can't agree!" "In order to love one must fuse with the other person..." " Fuse like metals?" " Perhaps melt like cheese." "It's not a question of exerting one's will over the others." "Narcissism has been abolished..." "He who loves knows that individuality is insignificant in comparison with the precious synthesis of the romantic bond." "Here are you whiskies..." " What a lovely smile you have!" " Thanks." "Cut!" "I'd like to do one more shot." "The last one." " Max, we have two minutes of film." " One more and we're done." "The whiskies, Mariano." " Are you alright?" " Yes." "Are two minutes of film enough?" "Change the shot, Dana," "And the face!" " Do you want to do camera?" " Yes." " Go on." "We'll just do the end, from when you say "fuse like metals", Pedro." "Ready, Agus?" " Silence." "Filming." "Sound!" " Working." " Sing." " Ninety." "Three tenths." "Clapperboard!" "Action!" " Fuse like metals?" " Perhaps melt like cheese." "It's not a question of exerting one's will over the others." "Narcissism has been abolished." "He who loves knows that individuality is insignificant in comparison with the precious synthesis of the romantic bond." "Your whiskies..." " Can I ask you a question?" " Yes, of course." " What's your name?" " Lucía." " Lucía, how old are you?" " How old do you think?" " Thirty." " Thank you." " I'll be forty next month." " Ahhh." "You look very good!" " Have you got a boyfriend?" " I did." "But not any more." " Ahhh, what happened?" " He left me." " What a pig!" " Yes, a pig!" " And now?" " Now what?" " Are you looking?" " No." " Are you alone?" " Yes." "And if a tall, handsome, well-built man appears..." " Well, not actually very handsome..." " Well, more or less handsome." " Neither very handsome or very ugly." " What sort of men do you like?" "My gran used to say a man is like a bear." "The uglier he is the more beautiful." "Well, that's perfect." "It's a guy who has lived among his books... but now he wants to spend a beautiful sunny afternoon in a field with a beautiful woman." " Is the guy funny?" " Yes, very funny." "Well, you'll laugh but no, he's not funny." " He is funny!" " No, he's not funny." "He's amusing as a character." "But he's not a guy who's suddenly going to tell you a joke." "So, how shall we do this?" "We'll give you his telephone number?" "Why don't you give us your number and we'll give it to him?" " No." "Tell him to come and find me here." " Cut!" " Good." "Very good!" " Thanks." "We've just got the two of you together, haven't we?" "Your coffee." "Hi, you're early!" " Well, let's pretend." " Ok, we'll pretend." " Coffeee, black or white?" " White." " Sugar or sweetener?" " Sugar." " Merengues or amarettis?" " Merengues." " Three." " Perfect." "One minute." "Ale, distract the boss..." "Thank you very much." "Hey, you two." "Go, the boss has gone!" "Come on, let's go!" "Wait a sec." "My bag!" "END" "RIPEADOS POR RRREEEVVV PARA CLAN-SUDAMERICA"
