"Rudy!" "Is he dead?" "Please, tell me, is he dead?" "What's wrong, Rudy?" "Bring him out." "Leave me alone, I'm doing it." "Slowly." "That went well, huh?" "Be careful." "How heavy you are!" "Champ, what a fright you gave me!" "~ Congratulations, it's great!" "~ Do you feel OK, Rudy, you weren't hurt?" "No, sir, fine, fine." "Really, what a fright you gave me!" "~ Hey, Rudy, you were fantastic." "~ It's great that you liked it." "You risk your neck, I present my face, and I get the applause." "Who cares, they pay me well!" "You really weren't hurt, Rudy?" "No, no." "Let's go get some coffee." "~ All right." "~ All right." "Ride on my back." "With permission." "Well, now it's your turn." "Slip on in." "Hey, this is real uncomfortable!" "Get in, get in, we're losing daylight." "~ Hey, but I might wrinkle my pants." "~ Quit messing around, man, please!" "~ OK, OK, I'm going." "~ Polo, come here." "~ Look, I want the camera here." "~ What a mess!" "It needs a lot of blood on the forehead, please." "~ Need me farther in?" "~ Yes, get on, get in like Rudy was." "Hey, my face won't be visible." "I want the camera here." "~ Sir, wouldn't a different angle be better?" "~ No, no, I said here." "More blood, I say, more blood!" "~ Bring on the blood!" "~ Here's the blood." "~ So now what?" "~ I already told you no." "But I just want to go to the sea, I don't know it." "I repeat that in September we're going to film in Acapulco." "Well, yeah, but maybe you won't get the role." "Don't jinx it!" "Thank God you were unharmed!" "Give me a coffee, please, okay?" "Wait for me, man!" "And now, what's wrong with him?" "You know, he's still hepped up about going to Acapulco." "But he won't be going on his own, right?" "Of course not, it's his friends of his gang who put these ideas in his head." "~ Oh, yeah!" "~ Well, no." "Why do you risk so much?" "The more dangerous the scene, the more I get paid." "So are you giving me permission, yes or no?" "I already told you: no." "And keep my helmet in the van, otherwise I'll lose it." "Oh, Rudy!" "How do you keep getting into such a mess?" "Who knows..." "And who sent for you to play the father?" "You'll miss some great fun!" "Come on, take the risk!" "Ah!" "Didn't I tell you I wasn't given a chance?" "Turn it the other way around!" "Come on, he has no right, he's not even your dad." "Just for a few days." "Please, come with us!" "Oh, brother, we don't have the money to go!" "That's not important." "Remember when we went to Puebla." "Oh, brother, Rudy was really pissed off that time!" "And the next day he was over it." "Isn't that right?" "So don't be stupid, we'll have a great time." "I'm not angry, I'm just trying to make you understand... the dangers a kid your age can run into." "But surely you know I can take care of myself." "That's what you think." "And besides, what money are you going to use to get there?" "Hey, Champ, that's not a problem!" "Indeed it is a problem,... and let's change the subject." "Surely you know it's just for eight days!" "I already said no!" "Now sit down and eat." "~ I'm going!" "~ No you're not!" "Drink your milk." "You can't rule me." "No?" "Is that what your friends teach you?" "Today I'm going to go talk to the mothers of all those brats." "Forget it!" "They're orphans!" "They live on the roof with Mrs. Laulia." "~ Eulalia." "~ Yeah, her." "And if these kids are orphans, then they can do whatever they want." "And you, starting today, won't play with them anymore." "Do I choose your friends for you?" "Don't talk to me like that, rude brat!" "Back at you!" "I'm not going to school nor helping you out, and I won't go anywhere you want me to, until you give in!" "You'll go where I tell you, and for now that means to go to bed without any dinner." "Go on!" "Fucking brat!" "¤ Here's the beach, I'm going to swim." "¤ How full the waves, the waves of the sea. ¤" "Bravo!" "Good, that used up the 20, kids." "~ Is the beach here?" "~ What beach?" "~ Acapulco." "~ Acapulco's nearby?" "Some 300 kilometers, more or less." "Well, I'll see you." "What are we going to do, Poncho?" "We'd better go back, brother!" "Go back?" "Forget it, now you have to get us another ride." "I'm really hungry." "Well, let's get some odd jobs and see what we can do about it, all right?" "Come on, guys, I have an idea!" "¤ I don't know what happens with my luck, not even the sun shines my way." "¤ It may be the law of my fate I have to mourn for your love." "¤ This love left without saying goodbye and my singing masks my sighs." "¤ My other love helps me in this madness." "Oh, dear God!" "What will I do without this love?" "¤ I will seek solace in other arms to see if I forget your love,... ¤ and a different love that calms my pain and so gladdens my heart." "¤ I'm going, may God send relief to me and bring you what you were looking for." "¤ If you were not happy with me get yourself to one that loves you more than me." "¤ I will seek solace in other arms to see if I forget your love,... ¤ and a love that calms my pain and so gladdens my heart." "They took everything!" "They didn't even leave us enough to eat with!" "When I bend over to these thieves!" "It seems to me that we'll starve." "Here in this town they don't even give water to the Cock of Passion, brother." "Then we're not going to the sea?" "To the sea, to the sea, we're dying of hunger and this guy wants to go to the sea!" "Let's sit down, OK?" "He was right, Rudy." "Now we'd be warm and well-fed, brother." "Hey, do you think the Champ doesn't think about going back to boxing?" "No, not anymore." "Working as a stunt man in films makes more money and gets you fewer blows." "I think he gone nuts." "Don't mess with him, OK?" "Well, only a bit nuts..." "Rudy really was my friend, my real friend." "We used to have lots of fun every day." "I'll rather not disobey him again." "Don't you think?" "We're not leaving anything behind, right, brother Cocorita?" "No, Don Fito." "We're only missing the charity box." "Let's move on." "~ Sure." "~ Come on, move, come on." "Come on." "Look, there's food!" "It's open here!" "Get in!" "Go stand guard!" "We must get there early, brother, or else the father will scold us." "~ Alert, Poncho!" "~ Alert!" "Come on, Jeremías, let's hide." "Oh, brother, how scary!" "...they'll put your head like this, like a Christmas loaf." "Yeah, you're right, Don Fito." "~ See where you left the keys!" "~ Ah, silly me!" "I forgot, Don Fito." ""I forgot, Don Fito", man!" "Don't grow any more, man, you'll suffer for a hundred years." "Forgive me." "Don Fito." "~ Hey, what could be in there?" "~ I don't know." "If they strike Catchy,..." "I mean if they catch Poncho, they're sure to say he was stealing." "You're right, Jeremías: if they catch him, it's straight to jail." "We'll warn Rudy, so he won't get life imprisonment." "~ Hurry, Cocorita!" "~ I'm going, Don Fito." "Take these, Don Fito." "Are we going to unload all this now?" "I don't know, but I think it might be better tomorrow." "Take the charity box to the office." "Fast." "~ This thing is loaded!" "~ Heavy, right?" "~ Don't close, Don Fito." "~ Why not?" "~ It could drown the chickens." "~ Oh, yeah, right." "¤ Good, I'll honor the bananas, now, let's swallow a little one. ¤" "Let's toast, Toribio!" "Oh, dear God, forgive me, but please lend us 30 pesos... to buy half a chicken for Loreto, Jeremías, and me!" "Oh, oh, oh, my God, I swear I left them!" "Don't do anything, Puppy, behave!" "Don't bite me!" "Oh, oh, oh, help, Puppy, oh, oh!" "Help, help, help me please!" "Sultan, back off." "Hold on!" "Where are you going, eh?" "Thief!" "Stealing in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ?" "No, sir, I borrowed this!" "Oh, yeah, "I borrowed this"!" "And when were you going to pay us back?" "But I put them back!" "~ Go find the Director." "~ He hasn't come back." "~ Fine, but what do we do about this?" "~ With thieves?" "Into jail!" "You hear?" "To jail!" "I'll take care of him." "Father Velasco, why do you keep hunting down new problems?" "Look at the file." "Burglary, attempted robbery, contempt for authority... ~ OK, OK." "~ That boy is a common little thief." "Yes, yes, maybe he is, but it is not convenient to keep him here." "It is very hard for a child." "Well, but, having dropped the charges, can I can take him to our foster home?" "Father, remember what happened with Luisito." "~ What happened?" "~ He robbed us!" "Don't you remember?" "Don't forget that he stole the only radio you had." "Sure, but thanks to that, we have a television." "Well, yeah." "All right, he'll stay in your custody until his parents show up." "Sign here, please." "I'll look into him then, so you won't waste your time." "OK." "He's all yours, Father." "~ Help me." "~ Yes, sir." "Let's see..." "Remember your hernia, huh?" "Oh, wow!" "You're on top of everything, huh?" "Let's go!" "Well, "Man proposes, God disposes..."" "Father Velasco comes along and everything breaks down." "Papa!" "Where am I?" "Champ!" "Rudy!" "Champ!" "Listen, my son, this stone belongs here, you get to work, go ahead." "Put these stones here, quick." "Nothing more here." "Put it there!" "If you don't hurry I'll punish everybody, clear?" "Move, arrange the stones there, and you whang on a minute." "It's going to be a lot for you, right?" "Move." "But hurry, let's go, or else I'll punish everybody." "Hurry up!" "Now you'll see!" "How long will you keep me locked up?" "Come on, get dressed, let's fill your stomach." "This is freshly milked cow's milk." "Don't you have better, from a bottle?" "Rudy says that the stuff from a cow is awful." "Try it." "I've never tasted milk as good as this before!" "By the way: who's Rudy?" "A pal, a pal." "Is he from your own family?" "No, you see, I live alone with my mom, but she's very ill." "She doesn't have anyone who cares for her." "Then why did you leave her?" "Will you bring me another little egg?" "First tell me the truth." "I already told you!" "Well, what's it to you?" "You're not a cop, so what do you want with me?" "Answer me: what's your mother's name?" "How many years I will be here in this jail?" "This isn't a jail." "So why are you holding me?" "A boy like you faces many dangers." "When they come for you, you can go." "If you're not a cop, what do you want from me?" "Because I didn't steal anything from you!" "All I want is for us to become friends." "Friends!" "As you see, here we reap the fruits of Mother Earth gives us." "Fortunately, Father." "Juanito, Juanito, teach this young man who's visiting us what we do here." "~ Yes, Father." "~ If you need me, I'll be in my office." "OK, Father." "And you guys, how many years have they lumbered you with?" "You mean a sentence?" "On account of what?" "Get out, Sultan!" "Take him out!" "A double lemonade." "What's going on, what's up?" "Cut!" "Good, how was it for you?" "~ Fine, sir." "~ Print everything." "~ Rudy, come on." "~ Print everything." "~ Follow me, Rudy." "~ Take note of the footage code." "I want this scene to have as much realism as possible." "Places, everybody." "Boys, I want a camera here, please." "I want this fight to be the Full Monty." "I want heaps of action." "Rudy, can I see a sample of the beginning of the scene?" "~ Yes, sir." "~ Good." "~ Good luck." "~ Thanks." "Bring out your best." "Let's start with an overlap of where we left off." "Go on, take a swing." "Was that OK?" "Perfect, perfect." "Try not to let them see your face, Rudy." "~ Yes, sir." "~ Let's set up for the shoot, boys." "Let's go!" "Where are you going, lads, where are you going?" "We have to see Rudy, it's very important." "Who's Rudy?" "He's a stuntman." "A stuntman?" "No, you can't go in there." "~ How late will you be shooting?" "~ Until eight tonight." "~ No way, Pal." "Let's go." "~ Come on, come on, clear out." "Come on." "Thanks." "~ Rudy, you want some coffee?" "~ No, thanks, later." "~ Let's go get one." "~ Quiet on the set!" "~ Camera." "~ Run." "141 take one." "Rudy, we're rolling." "~ Ready?" "~ Ready, sir." "Action!" "Cut!" "You're not hurt, Rudy?" "No, I'm fine." "That came out great, very well." "If you want we can do another take." "No, no, that came out great." "Are you sure?" "It'd be better if we did it again." "To be more spectacular, to fly more." "You act, it's hard work." "Isn't it?" "Yes, but I want blood on that thing." "Yes, man, let's go, let's go, yes." "Places, everybody." "Back to your places again, everybody." "We're going to take some stills." "Now let's go get some coffee." "What did you guys have to tell me?" "It was our fault, Rudy." "We were hungry and it became easy." "Easy?" "Now let's see how you manage to get him out of jail, because me, I'm not going to lift a finger." "Poncho wanted to come back." "He said he would never disobey you again." "He said that?" "~ Yes, he was very sorry." "~ So are you going to go stand up for him?" "Sure, if he hasn't already been brought up before juvenile court." "But I can fix that, I can fix that." "We promise we'll behave." "But don't promise me anything, promise Doña Eulalia,... you've gotten on her nerves." "Let's go, move." "~ Yes, goodbye." "~ Good night, Rudy." "Oh!" "Oh, Holy God, help me!" "Oh, doggie, oh, brother!" "Go away, please!" "Don't bite me!" "Oh, God, help!" "Help, help, help me!" "Don't lick me, I'm not a candy, I'm going mad, don't lick me!" "I wasn't going to escape, man, get away!" "Don't lick me!" "Now, here you go, we should attach wipers to your glasses." "What's this mess?" "Calm down!" "I'm going to tell the Father you're misbehaving." "Come on, everybody, a shower, go on!" "Leave me alone, this is not the way I get along with you." "I won't get along like this." "Leave me alone." "Knock it off!" "No!" "No, no, boys, I won't get along like this!" "No!" "No, guys, it's not my turn to take a bath!" "No!" "No, don't throw soap on me!" "Don't get soap in my eyes!" "Why don't you eat?" "The shower destroyed my appetite." "You got it?" "Nobody's going to make me his pet!" "Father Velasco says that revenge is evil." "Don't mind him, he doesn't know what he's talking about!" "Fine, and you: do you see anything at all?" "Because I believe that with such huge lenses you can't see squat." "I had an operation on my eyes but I still can't see very well." "No wonder you can't escape!" "No, I don't want to escape, because my father died, and Father Velasco rescued me." "And even if you wanted to, you wouldn't get so very far with such huge lenses." "Do you have a mom and dad, or nobody at all?" "All right, I don't have a mom or dad, all I have is my champ." "He picked me up and he's my friend." "Champion of what?" "Boxing champion, he's da man!" "Not quite world champion, but I really don't know what to tell you." "And he'll come for you?" "Of course!" "He's the straightest arrow, he'll never let me down!" "I love him like my son." "I understand, but you must get the authorities to legitimize your custody of the child." "I don't think that would be easy, given the circumstances in which I took him in." "How long has he been staying with you?" "Going on seven years now." "Well, I don't think it'll be difficult presenting testimonials." "I exercise parental authority over 100 orphans, so I can help." "Thanks, thanks very much." "He's a very good boy." "I love him to pieces." "He's very affectionate." "But of course, it's always difficult for a single man... to rear a child perfectly." "I understand." "Excuse me." "Yes, José?" "What a pleasure!" "Oh, really?" "I honestly wasn't expecting you so soon." "Very good." "Until Monday." "Yes, yes." "That's José, one of our graduates." "He was three when he arrived here." "He attended elementary school here." "Then we sent him to the capital to complete his studies,... and now he's going to come work with us for a year." "Yes, yes, it's a kind of social service." "Just like with José, I've had many satisfactory results." "From here have come teachers, lawyers, dentists, agronomists,..." "Well, I won't keep you any longer." "Let's go find the boy." "Sure." "This way." "They should have finished eating." "I miss him so much, Father." "Here he is." "Rudy!" "Rudy!" "Great, Rudy!" "Champ!" "I know you wouldn't let me down!" "No, I just dropped by...just dropped by..." "I swear I'll never get on a trip again without your permission." "No, you're hopeless, I don't want any more problems!" "Besides, you're going to stay here." "Here!" "?" "Oh, no, Rudy, I want to go with you!" "No, I do not want more trouble." "Besides, I'm not even your dad." "For me it's as if you were." "But I'm not." "Didn't you say that the other day?" "It's OK, Rudy, if you don't want to be my dad...well, never mind." "But, please, can we still be friends?" "Soul mates?" "OK?" "And no crying..." "let's behave like men." "Watch out!" "Not like that, man, like I taught you, please!" "Otherwise, they'll clean your clock." "From now on, Father Velasco will teach you to defend yourself... and bring out the good in you I was never wise enough to find." "OK?" "I'll come see you every weekend." "OK, Champ." "~ OK." "~ OK." "Champ, don't leave me!" "Rudy!" "Rudy!" "You really are my friend, right?" "Come on." "~ It breaks my heart to do it, but..." "~ It's for his own good." "Father, clear up his birth certificate." "Make him my son." "Please." "I'll do it, Champ." "You've made the honorable choice." "You know what, Sultan?" "I thought the Champ loved me, but he doesn't." "If you found a puppy in the street, alone and abandoned, would you leave it there?" "Not really?" "Well, I don't know, but he left me." "And you know what hurts most?" "It's that I thought I was his friend, his soul mate." "I knew he wasn't my dad." "He and I were close friends,... and he always told me the best thing between guys was friendship." "Right, Sultan?" "Come on, Sultan." "Mom?" "They don't have anyone." "You have me." "~ Papa!" "~ How are you this morning?" "~ Pa!" "~ How are you this morning?" "Go on, tell me, what did you dream about?" "Come on, tell me." "The problem isn't whether or not he's my son." "The problem is that because he's not my real son, I love him even more." "You have to understand, Rudy." "The presence of that boy, your son or not, would ruin our marriage." "Nothing's going to ruin our marriage." "~ No?" "~ No, since we won't be getting married." "His parents died in an accident." "The boy was saved by a miracle." "He's alone in the world." "I wanted to take him to an orphanage,... but I didn't have the heart to do it." "I could help you." "What are you going to do?" "Register him as mine as soon as possible." "What's his name?" "~ Poncho." "~ Poncho?" "What's up, Champ?" "How have you been?" "A sweetie with boxing gloves?" "Are we ready for the punching bag?" "Look, look, focus!" "Go on, give it to him!" "Ready." "Let's see what you've got for me." "On guard, on guard!" "Hit me, hit me!" "Aren't you going to fight again, Champ?" "No." "Thirty-five-year-old boxers are over the hill... and we have to hang up our gloves." "So what are you going to do?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "Good night." "I caught you!" "Rudy, slow down, I'm scared!" "You're my brother, my soul brother." "Put on some pleasant music, please." "~ Oh, no, it's going to hurt a lot!" "~ Keep still, kid!" "Oh, mama!" "If you move it'll hurt even worse." "That's it." "Oh, how cold!" "~ Unclench your butt." "~ Oh, no." "Not me!" "Juanito, Juanito!" "Don't let them take you!" "Yes, yes, yes." "Either you agree or we use force." "Get with it!" "And stay still." "What happens if I don't go along with you?" "Father, help me, please." "Come on." "Take his pants off." "On a platter." "And shut up, right?" "But I haven't said anything, Father." "And don't punch me in the ribs, got it?" "You're going to break the needle." "Unclench your butt." "But I'm not doing it on purpose." "Unclench your butt, come on." "~ Can't it be taken by mouth instead?" "~ Give it up, Poncho." "~ Take it out, take it out!" "~ Keep still and stop whining!" "~ But I'm not crying from the pain." "~ OK, why are you crying, then?" "I always cry afterwards, Father, from the emotion." "We have to rehearse the song a lot more because it still isn't working, huh?" "~ But this time you have to do as I say, right?" "~ Yes, Father!" "Ah, Doña Clemencia!" "Hello, Father." "What a surprise." "I wasn't expecting you today!" "No, the surprise is what I want to give the children." "Hello, dear boys." "Hello, Miss Clemencia!" "Doña Clemencia, as you know, is the president of our board of trustees, and she wants to tell us something." "Whenever you're ready." "~ That's the new kid, right?" "~ Yeah, that's Poncho." "He arrived a few days ago." "Well, I announce wonderful news that'll fill us all with joy." "For the first time, our Mexican land will be visited by the highest authority of the Holy Mother Church,..." "His Holiness Pope John Paul II." "Among all the festivities will be a children's tribute to His Holiness." "We'll have a wonderful chorus of voices from various Catholic entities." "That's why I asked Father Velasco to start rehearsals as soon as possible in order to be ready." "Thank you very much." "¤ You are Peter, and on this rock... ¤ I will build, I will build... ¤ I will build my church." "¤ Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." "¤ Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." "¤ Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." "Very good." "Now I want you to listen and then follow along." "Agreed?" "Yes." "Very good." "And now I want you to listen to the melody." "¤ You are my soul mate, my real friend. ¤" "¤ You are my soul mate, my real friend. ¤" "Very good, and now the introduction and the first part." "Let's hear it..." "¤ You are my soul mate, my real friend. ¤" "Perfect." "Congratulations." "It's very nice." "How does it continue?" "Well..." "I don't know yet because I'm still writing it." "Fine, now you can go play." "There is fine." "Get everything ready to go." "Put the horses at the other end." "~ Any other cue, sir?" "~ No, no, no." "~ Rudy." "~ Yes, sir." "At the word "action", you run to the house as if to recover the money." "You stay inside when the house starts to burn." "You stay there for exactly ten seconds and then you get out." "~ Do you understand that?" "~ Of course." "Fine." "Please, Rudy, this is a very dangerous scene." "Please be careful." "Make sure you don't come out like barbecued chicken." "Don't stop shooting no matter what." "Yes, sir." "~ Everything ready?" "~ Ready." "Let's do it." "Quiet on the set!" "Attention: special effects." "Start the house burning." "~ Ready, Rudy?" "~ One second, sir." "122, final clapper." "~ Camera." "~ Running." "~ Running." "~ Run!" "Action!" "Get on in there." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." "He's overdue." "11, 12, 13, 14, 15... ~ 16, 17, 18, 19..." "~ Come on out, Rudy!" "~ 21, 22, 23..." "~ Out!" "24, 25, 26, 27, 28..." "Cut!" "Fast, guys!" "Oh, my God!" "Are you burned?" "Answer me." "~ Are you burned?" "~ Just a bit, nothing more." "Why didn't you boogie after ten seconds?" "~ I wanted to make the scene more dramatic." "~ By risking your life?" "~ What a man!" "~ It went very well, Rudy." "Take a rest." "Very good!" "What a fright you gave me!" "Good night, Champ." "~ You're not sleeping, Poncho?" "~ No." "I was thinking." "About what?" "About many things I've been told that I don't quite understand yet." "I was thinking about how Rudy and I used to have fun." "~ The Champ?" "~ Yeah, the Champ." "Good night." "Don't take away my glasses because then I can't see what I'm dreaming." "OK, "Bat-eyes"." "Sleep well." "¤ You are my soul mate, my real friend... ¤ who's with me all the time everywhere." "¤ Although you're a man, you still have the soul of a child,... ¤ who gives me your friendship, your respect, and your love."

"Well, actually, I haven't named it yet." "The melody's very nice, and the lyrics are meaningful." "What can I say?" "It's like an ode to friendship." "Yes, yes, yes, yes." "Maybe the title should be...: "Amigo"." "Don't you think, Father, that this is the song that children should sing for His Holiness?" "Doña Clemencia, please, I don't think it would be suitable." "And why not, Father?" "In these cases, they always sing sacred things,... but I'm sure this particular Pope would welcome something a bit different." "You think?" "Of course, Father." "I'll tell the commission to come and listen." "It's beautiful!" "¤ In all the gang fights we'll stick together... ¤" "Mr. Fito, take care of them, please." "Excuse me." "¤ and together we will hit them in their very crown... ¤" "~ Poncho, Poncho." "~ Yes, their very crown!" "Come here." "Why didn't you tell me you can sing?" "Because you never asked me, Father." "Well, I beg you to forget the lyrics of this young author." "~ What do you think of his voice?" "~ It's magnificent." "Would you like to sing in the choir?" "Yes, yes, Poncho, sing!" "He will, indeed, Father!" "~ Yeah?" "~ If you think so, Father... ~ Of course!" "~ Great!" "Fine, but no improvisations, all right?" "You have to sing the genuine lyrics." "Go on, you can go." "I'll call you when it's time to begin rehearsals." "~ Yes, Father." "~ Go on." "Let's go, "Bat-eyes"." "OK, Father, we'll head off, we've got lots to do." "The Pope will arrive in no time at all."

"Why haven't you washed my car?" "OK, I didn't pay you last week, it was because I didn't get paid either." "Now I'll pay for both." "We won't get along with you anymore." "Keep your money." "Yeah, keep it." "~ Why did you leave Poncho in that place?" "~ Didn't you say you loved him a lot?" "Come on, come on, it's not like that." "I left him there because he needs an education that I can't give him." "We don't want to hear it." "You're a traitor." "~ Rudy's a traitor!" "~ Rudy's a dickhead!" "We know what's wrong with me, Doctor." "It has progressed pretty far." "Can you make a prognosis?" "Don't worry, in my profession it's almost natural." "Rudy, please." "I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid to know, but someday I'll have to." "I worry about the kid." "There are things I have to set right before...before that." "How long?" "A couple of months, maybe a year." "Great, that's more time than I need!" "Thanks, Doctor." "Rudy betrayed Poncho, he's a creep." "He didn't love him." "He abandoned him there, he didn't really love him like he said." "What a jerk." "Fine." "Do all of you have matches?" "Light them." "Keep them lit." "Even if you begin burning yourselves, don't throw them, OK?" "I knew he was going to start with his tortures, brother." "Hold on." "Father, I'm burning!" "~ Oh, it burns!" "~ Hang on." "Oh, Father, oh!" "~ It burns!" "~ It hurts you, right?" "Yes!" "I wanted you to feel the slightest hint of the pain of fire." "Do you know why?" "Because tonight we're going to take in a child who suffered severe burns in a fire." "And he lost his parents." "Now he's going to live with us,... and I beg you to be kind to him." "Alfredito." "Fito, turn on the light." "~ I want to be your buddy, Bacon!" "~ We want to be your friends." "We want to be your brothers." "Look, my name's Poncho, he's Serafín, and he's "Bat-eyes"." "I mean..." "Juanito." "~ Long live our new brother!" "~ Yeah!" "Halt." ""Bat-eyes", give the order." "I forgot you can't see what you're playing." "You'll do what I do, right?" "I'll give a shake to anyone who won't do it." "~ A shake." "~ A shake, I said it first." "Repeat the movement of my hand after me, OK?" "Come on, quickly!" "¤ When I go to Pena's house I leave my sign using my paw." "¤ When I go to Juan's house I mess his hallway with my paw." "¤ Everybody's chasing the braggart." "Chin, chin." "¤ Everybody's chasing the braggart." "Chin, chin." "¤ When I go to Pena's house I leave my sign using my paw." "¤ When I go to Juan's house I mess his hallway with my paw." "¤ Everybody's chasing the braggart." "Chin, chin." "What's going on now?" "Well, it's time for recess." "Go play." "No, Brother, fuck off, that way they'll defeat us!" "I can't see, I can't see!" "I can't see, I can't see!" "What's your problem?" "Quiet, quiet, shut up." "What happened to you, sweetie?" "Back off, make room!" "It is very unfortunate and very sad what's happened." "I hope that never happens again." "May God grant us to be able to raise the money to get Juanito a new operation for his eyes." "You may be seated." "Excuse me." "It was my fault, Father." "Why don't you punish me?" "No, no, no." "It's everyone's fault." "I want you to remember that in games, no matter how innocent they are,... violence should be avoided." "Understood?" "Hey." "Who is it?" "It's me, "Bat-eyes"..." "I mean, Juanito." "Hi." "Look, I didn't thought you would suffer a blackout, but I want to apologize." "It wasn't your fault." "But if you don't heal up, even though I think you'll heal... then if finally you don't heal up, I'll get you a dog to drag you around... so you can go wherever you want." "What a pity that Sultan doesn't know these things, he's so nice!" "Don't worry, I'll train him tomorrow." "Although I don't think it'll be necessary, since you'll be better soon." "I hope so." "What do you think?" "It's OK, sir, I already tried, I can do it." "That's fine. --- Vicky. --- The scene has to be done with precision." "Here you are, sir." "Notice." "Look, Rudy, by speeding up at the moment of the jump... you should clear the ravine." "Understood?" "~ Yes, sir." "~ How fast do you want to go?" "I need at least 140 kph to clear the ravine." "Look, you can't do 200 kph?" "It'll make me look better, man!" "Well, let's settle on 160." "Won't such a speed be dangerous, Rudy?" "~ No, sir." "~ Very well, let's do it." "~ Any chance of some coffee?" "~ Of course, sure, have some." "~ Sir, can I have another?" "~ Sure, sure, help yourself." "Boys, get ready." "We're going to do it." "~ Thanks." "~ Thanks for what?" "For your recommendation." "The director said he'll give me a role in the film." "As a waitress, serving coffee." "Good." "Well, that's how many starlets get their start, right?" "Hey, Rudy!" "What's up with your assistant?" "Already tired of the job, or what?" "He's going to school." "~ Can I help you?" "~ No, leave it, she's taking care of it." "We're going to do the whole complete scene." "Take 19." "The cameras will run at 16 frames per second!" "Hey, why 16 frames?" "That's how they make the scene look in fast motion." "Rudy!" "When you're ready, we'll shoot it." "The signal for action will be a shot." "~ Ready, camera one?" "~ Ready." "~ Camera two, ready?" "~ OK." "~ Ready camera three?" "~ Ready." "Clapper." "Camera!" "Scene 525, take 1, final shot." "Action!" "Rudy, slow down, I'm scared!" "Hold on!" "He's slowing down." "At that speed he won't be able to clear the ravine." "~ Please, sir, cut!" "~ Wait, wait." "What's up, Juanito?" "~ Hi." "~ Hey, cool!" "Careful." "Thanks." "Very good, Juanito." "~ Did you see him?" "~ Sure." "Thanks to Doña Clemencia." "Her cousin is Dr. Brunet, the famous oculist." "Yeah." "What did he tell you?" "He said I was going to be blind for a week but it would heal." "Great, "Bat-eyes"!" "Where are the boys?" "Watching television, sir." "Take him to the dormitory, he should rest." "Yes, sir." "Come on, "Bat-eyes", don't crash against the tower for thinking you'll be guided just for being blind, huh?" "Ortiz's center clears the defense." "Gómez shoots." "González controls the ball." "A center, a shot and a goal!" "Pérez gets the ball." "He passes to Gómez, who shoots but it's stopped by Ortiz!" "But the referee calls a foul against Atlante." "That clears the Cepos' defense." "Foul on González!" "Patiño gets ready to take the free kick." "He passes to López." "And a goal!" "Substitute that terrible player!" "We interrupt this program to give a news flash." "During the filming of the movie "High Voltage", there has been a serious accident." "Rodolfo Reyes, "Rudy" Reyes, who was for many years the welterweight champion of the republic... and who more recently has worked as a stuntman for dangerous scenes in movies... dramatically fell off a cliff on his motorcycle." "He was immediately taken to a clinic for actors." "His condition is grave." "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "I have to go see him, Father." "What happened, son?" "Tell me." "Rudy is gravely ill, I just heard it on TV." "I have to go to him, Father." "Did they say which hospital he's in?" "Yeah, in the actors' clinic." "~ Take it easy, I'll bring you there." "~ Thanks, Father!" "The doctor will be right with you." "Take them in." "Just for a few minutes." "Come with me." "What's your opinion, doctor?" "The spinal fracture has probably penetrated the pleural cavity." "We'll have to wait a few hours to see how he reacts." "By your leave." "Rudy, it's me." "Hi." "They said on TV you were badly hurt." "You're not going to die, are you?" "Of course not." "When have you seen me on the mat?" "Well, never." "I...this...why didn't you come see me, Rudy?" "I miss you so much." "Me, too." "Just this morning, I was thinking about seeing Father Velasco,... for permission to let you come with me." "Where do you think?" "Acapulco?" "Acapulco." "Precisely there." "Here's Father Velasco, ask him." "Come here, please, Father." "Good evening, Champ." "Hi, Father." "Really?" "You'll give Poncho permission?" "Naturally." "You have to get well pretty quickly, Rudy!" "Real soon." "How's Poncho behaving?" "Very well." "You should be very proud of him." "We've discovered he has a beautiful voice." "In a few hours, he's due to be singing in a chorus for His Holiness." "Very good." "Very good." "Yeah." "It's a very beautiful song." "Father Velasco composed it." "It's called "Amigo"." "The friendship between the two of you inspired the song." "I think it will appeal to His Holiness because he preaches just that feeling... among all the men of the world." "Go on." "Go on and sing like the angels themselves." "I'll do it, with the same force as when the bell rang and you were in the ring." "On guard, Champ!" "Doctor!" "Rudy, Rudito!" "Didn't you say you weren't going to die?" "Rudito!" "Champ!" "Champ!" "Rudy, Rudito!" "Champ!" "¤ You are my soul mate, my real friend... ¤ who's with me all the time everywhere."
