"ANGELS PLC." "Stop worrying, Dad, they're beautiful." "They'll love them at work." "Why are you up so early?" "I'm nervous about the trials for the Festival." "Relax, you'll be great!" "They'll choose you." "I wrote a song for you." "Want me to play it?" " A song for me?" " Yes." "Please!" "Sounds good." "Let's hear it with chords." "And if I put in some bass?" "Come on, the lyrics." "That's it, I want to stop." "Anyway, it's a surprise." "That's true." "Okay." "Dani, don't touch the angels." "Dad needs them for work." " They're not a toy." " Come on, it'll get cold." " You can't have slept much, honey." " Do I look awful?" "No, relax." "Your presentation will be great." "Thanks." "Where would I be without your support?" "Only seven?" "Are you giving it up?" "You say you like me sweet." "So that's your secret." "Yes." "I'd love to continue this deep conversation, but the kids'll be late for school." " A quarter to!" " A quarter to eight!" " María Isabel!" " Dani!" "Careful, it's fragile." "Yes?" "I'm on my way." "I'm taking the kids to school." "Get the dossiers ready." "The folders?" "I don't mind." "Any color you think is nice." "I have to drive." "Ciao." " Sorry I'm late." " About time." "It'll all be fine, Dad." "We're going to be a hit!" "Dad, you promised you'd paint a rainbow in my room tonight." "Today, for sure." "I gave you, I gave you," "I gave you my life." "I gave you, I gave you," "I gave you my time." "And my love...." "I gave it to you." "Don't we have anyone with a bit more pizzazz?" "Accept it, San Miguel will never win the school competition." "No way, that has to change." "Come on, next!" "Can't we go any faster?" "Okay, kids..." "We'll carry on the trials two by two." "Next!" "This is super-unfair." " Everyone got to sing alone." " Listen to me!" "We always reach the final round, and then what?" "We stay in the bottom five." "We have to break the curse." "Let's sing with rhythm, with passion, so people hear you and want to dance." "You might as well go, I'm going to win." "I'm a shining star, don't get in my way, I'm like a typhoon." "I just want to be a singer, to close my eyes and feel over the moon." "I've got charm to spare." "Extensions in my hair." "No million dollar contract, no make-up on my face," "I get up on the stage with style and with grace." "My eyes are sweet as candy, they say it's you I love, they trap you and then they make you want to dance." "My eyes are sweet as candy, they speak only of true love, they have the lights of angels in each glance." "My eyes are sweet as candy, throwing and shooting fire, setting the pace forthis festival." "And even though you trash me," "Jenny with your candy eyes, you know I'm the real thing." "AMARANTO PUBLISHING" "If we sell them for 4.95 and each angel costs us 20 cents, even with the introductory offer profits will soar." "Yes, we know the margin in China is good." " What do you think, Luis?" " The truth?" "I think a collection of police worldwide would be better." ""Law and Order"!" "The Spanish Guardia Civil," "Italian Carabinieri, Gendarmes..." "That's what the market wants." "Good, very good, Luis." "Yes, but it's done to death." "There are already firemen, soldiers, crusaders, and any other publisher will be thinking the same." "But it's vital to be the first." "You said that when I proposed my "100 Years of Cars" collection, which topped sales." "You'd have a point if you hadn't opposed my fan collection, the firm's biggest hit." "Carlos, Luis, please." "What do you think of the angels?" "I know you like the police more, but what do you think?" "It's stale and uninteresting." "Fine, angels aren't in fashion." "I don't believe in some guy with wings by my side." "But a lot of non-religious people believe in them." "When I was a lad," "I had some pajamas with an angel on the pocket." "This one'sjust like it." "We'll do the collection." "But I want it now." "It's to come out in September." "But sir..." "There's no time, I'd have to go to China myself." "Sure, and right away." "Let's not waste any time." "Congratulations, Carlos." "Well done." "Thank you." "I liked your proposal," "I'll back it next time." "I didn't like yours." "I love your honesty." "You're an angel." "Congratulations, boss." "Did you see his face when the president went on about angels?" "He went all the colors of the rainbow, he was so mad." "What a creep." "I couldn't work for him." " Shall I get you a ticket?" " I guess I'm off to China." "Tomorrow?" "The only flights to China leave tomorrow?" "Then get me a table for two at some fancy restaurant." "No, Julia doesn't know." "I'll call you later." "They chose me for the Festival!" "That's my girl!" "How did your collection go?" "Terrific." " We're a hit, Dad." " Let's go tell Mum." "Four months!" "I can't believe you agreed to go to China for four months." "What about me and the kids?" " To the devil with us, eh?" " No, Julia." "I told you." "They'll pay for two trips to Hong Kong for all of you." "Hold on." "Who said, "Carlos, you're a creative person, take the collectables offer, you'll shine there"?" "I said it'd mean a lot of traveling." "Sure." "But not so soon." "And so far." "Why do they have to make them in China?" "Why not in..." "Calahorra?" "China is the key." "This is the project of my life." "Don't be like that." "Four months will fly by." "When are you leaving?" "Well..." "Wednesday." "Alright." "At least I have eight days to take this in." "No." "Wednesday... tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "You're leaving tomorrow?" "You're not coming to the Festival?" "I'm going to sing the song I wrote for you." "And what about the rainbow?" "We'll finish it when I get back from China." "And I can get some luminous paint so it glows in the dark." "You always say you'll do something, then you don't." "Dad..." "Tell me a story." "Okay, this is about Dani the Driver." "Fernando Alonso got an ear inflammation so they called his friend, Dani the Driver." "He put on his helmet and was at the starting line..." "Got your belt on?" "Yes?" "All right." "The race begins." "You overtook me." "Look who it is!" " María Isabel, "The Meteor"..." " Let me paint!" "...the famous driver." "Do you want to play with us?" "Let's go." "Dani heads for the final curve, but a car bumps his rear aileron and is about to take the track, but Dani's too good" "and he crosses the finishing line!" "He's world champion!" "My champion!" "Champ, off to sleep." "You could tell traditional stories, and not these corny dramas." "Dani likes his dad's stories." " 'Night, sweetie." " Good night." "Good night." "María Isabel's very disappointed." "You can't build up their hopes and not come through." "But look, I have a surprise." "She'll love it." "A lucky star." "I don't know how you do it, but you always get your own way." "We've been waiting 15 minutes." "Taxi 34." "Terrific." "Thanks." "Where's María Isabel?" " I'll get the little one." " Yes, sweetie." " You take the angels, okay?" " Yeah, yeah." "C'mon, open the door." "María Isabel!" "I'm going." "Aren't you going to say goodbye?" "I've got a present for you." "I'm sad too because I haven't heard your song and I'm sure it's really ace." "But I know you'll be a star tonight." "How will you know?" "You won't be there." "Tonight, when you go onstage, think of me." "I'll be watching you from this star." "Honey, the taxi's here!" "Coming!" "Take care of Mum." "I have to go." "I'll be late." "See you in Hong Kong." " Bye, darling." " And get me a present." "We love you." "This is Captain Li Wei." "Fasten your seat belts, we're entering turbulence." "It's a collection of angels we're bringing out soon." "What do you think?" "That they fill our houses with useless junk." "This year it's angels, and next year, their houses." "Houses for angels..." "Like Snow White's house but with angels." "Could we do 80 issues?" "Lady, relax, turbulence is totally normal." "It's my first time in a plane." "The angels' house..." "What would their world be like?" "Here in Heaven, things are really tough." "St. Peter says the housing crisis is rough." "Here the roads are all polka dots and sweet and two stars make the lamps that light the street." "Here in Heaven the buses fly on the air, but you just can't find a parking space anywhere." "The bridges have no end and they cross the seas." "The boats are made of coral and float on the breeze." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "Some houses are big, some houses modern, and colorful as can be." "Some houses are really crazy or have a big balcony." "But one thing it always needs... is lots of flowers, flowers, lots of flowers." "I, I, I..." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "I want angels, sweet angels, that spread love in the air and look for a home in Heaven." "Search for a home in Heaven." "Search for a home in Heaven." "I know who you are." "I'm glad you speak my language." "My name's Carlos Blasco and I've come from Spain about the angels." "Right..." "I'm Simona, head of the Guardian Angels Communications Bureau." "Jeez, that's very organized." "I'm not surprised that China's growing so fast." "This isn't China, Carlos." "This, modestly speaking, is Heaven." "Heaven?" "As in the pub Heaven?" "Heaven, the old folk's home?" "Where they make "angel food cake"?" "What Heaven?" "Hold on, not the place good little boys go and which is full of individuals with little wings?" "That Heaven." "And you're having an open day?" "Because I'm not..." "Yes, you are." "I can't be in Heaven." "Not that I've done anything bad, but if the boss calls and I'm not in China..." "Believe me, the Boss called you." "Come on, it's hard for everyone at first, but soon you'll be..." "on Cloud Nine." "But I was on a plane..." "You said it, you "were"." "And now, the chill-out room." "And representing San Miguel, that fabulous star who will burn her trail over all of us." " María Isabel!" " What?" "Give her a big hand!" "I'll tell her right now." "Excuse me." "I have some bad news." "Your husband was in a plane accident." "There were no survivors." "A plane accident." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Tell the screen with whom you wish to communicate." "Life on Earth." "Next, the people about whom you require information." "The Blasco Pardo family." "Leave me alone." "You could help me set the table." " Dani." " I don't feel like it." " Julia." " You never feel like it." " Take the napkins." " María Isabel." "Leave me alone." "You're becoming a rude, unbearable girl." "I'm not 9 years old anymore!" "It's not yours!" "You want your sandwich?" "Then take it!" "I'm not playing with this midget anymore." "Who do you think you are?" "I'm sick of everything... my mum spying on me and the morons at school." " We're going to the Principal." " One day I'll run away from home." "María Isabel..." "My handbag!" "You thug!" "Bad, bad!" "Very bad!" "Go back to your places!" "I'll see you later in my office!" "Right then..." "Reality is untouchable." "Do you understand?" "Yes?" "Then repeat after me." "Reality cannot be tampered with." "Reality cannot be tampered with." "Our task as angels is not to create a perfect world." "No, no." "We're not fairies going around changing reality with our wands." "People are free and make their own decisions." "All we can do is guide them so that they choose the best way." "Let's see what could've been done." "And always remember an angel's most important rule:" "Help human beings to be happy... without changing reality's rules or doing alien stuff." "Sure, help them to be happy!" "So who did you send my daughter?" "The guardian angel of the captain of the Titanic?" "He's useless!" "He's doing nothing for her!" "Class dismissed." "Everyone back to your posts." "No, please!" "Nobody move!" "I've seen faster angels." "No, please!" "Stop!" "I want to talk to her guardian angel." "That is impossible." "She has no guardian angel?" "Whose idea was it to leave a girl in the world with no guardian angel?" "Quiet!" "No need to yell!" "It was an unfathomable error." "Every human gets a guardian angel the moment they're born." "Don't know what happened this time." "It's a mystery." "So what do I do, ask for the complaints book?" "To top it off, I didn't expect you here so soon." "You were taking good care of María Isabel." "Bringing you here so soon was the Boss' silliest idea ever." "If there are millions of angels, why not assign her one?" "That happens at birth." "Like I said, one child, one angel." "Now that she's 12, it's too late." "We can't do anything." "Yes, we can." "I can go down and look after her." "What?" "You've been dead for two earth years." "Two years?" "I've been here for two years?" "How many sodas have I had?" "Never mind." "I'm her father." "I saw her being born." "Who better than me" " to take care of her?" " No, no, impossible." "Only an angel can help her, and you're not an angel." "I'm sorry, but I'm totally strict about the rules." "Fine, let's be strict about everything." "It's time the big Boss found out about your bureaucratic error that left a sweet girl like my daughter without a guardian angel!" "Alright!" "There may be a way you can go down to Earth." "A squared equals" "B squared plus C squared." "Now let's revise Pythagoras' Theorem." "Does anyone remember what a cathetus is?" "Excuse the interruption." "Jennifer has her rehearsal." "Need any help?" "No, thanks." "I don't need your help." "Silence!" "What did you do to her chair?" "Who was it?" "Bye, girls." "I'm off to rehearse with my teacher." "Girls!" "I'm telling your parents, and you'll be suspended for a week." "What did we do?" "Explain that to the Principal." " It's no big deal." " I didn't do anything." "Hello, girls!" "You know what?" "You did me a favor." "Oh, yeah?" "These pants really suit me." " Suit you?" " They're so..." "Tacky?" "You're the tacky one." "Isn't it exciting?" "There's going to be a poster with my photo all over the school." "You'll have to cheer me on or I might get nervous and run off the stage." "Know what I mean?" "This is blackmail and it'll all go wrong, but María Isabel has be the happy girl that you knew." "That's your mission." "So don't blow it." "No-one's to know about this..." " Not even God." " Lf you'd done your job properly..." "What did you do?" "I'm making sure you hear me loud and clear." "Go on." "Manuel, I've got two items of good news for you." "One:" "It's not your time yet, and two:" "You'll be resting here for a few days." " Stop the ambulance, please." " What?" "You were in a coma!" " I have to get out." " Hey, don't get up!" "This will affect your vital signs!" "Where are you going?" "I'm fine." "Really!" "3 times 8 is 23, I mean, 24." "And this is Madrid!" "See?" "Give this to someone who needs it." "I'm not complaining, ljust heal very quickly." "See?" "What have they done to me?" " And these ears?" " Don't whine, Carlos." "Technically, what we've done to you is a miracle." "You're temporarily in the body of one of her teachers." "And the miracles end here." "Now it's up to you, so hurry up if you want to stop your girl from being expelled." "María Isabel?" "Expelled?" "Why?" "Honest, it was an accident." "I didn't mean to hurt anyone." "Yes, but I'm afraid you have." "You were always a good student, you joined in our activities." "But all year we've been getting complaints from your teachers and this is a result of not nipping it in the bud." "I'm back!" " That's impossible!" " Manuel!" "Are you alright?" "María Isabel..." "María Isabel!" "Forgive me, I didn't think..." "I kicked the ball and..." "I know, it was an accident." "María Isabel had nothing to do with this silly little mishap." "Little?" "Silly?" "We checked your reports." "Here you describe María Isabel's conduct as..." "Reports..." "You haven't even asked me how I am and are already rifling my drawers." "Let's forget this incident and let María Isabel get back to class." "The insurance will cover damages to the car and I'm fine, so there's no need to worry." "Are you sure you're alright?" "Perfect, like an angel." "María Isabel, life is full of second chances." "You're a lucky girl." "I hope you make the most of this." "Alright!" "Everyone back to class!" "So you're the music students?" "Then I'm the music teacher." "Well, well, well!" "Right..." "Excuse me." " What do I do?" "What do I say?" " Why not talk about music?" "Oh, yes, music." "Hello there." "I just love music." "That's why I'm a music teacher." "You're wondering what music is, aren't you?" "You're not?" "I'll ask you then." "What is music?" "You can't define music in words because it's a direct expression of the emotions:" "Love, happiness, nostalgia..." "Music is the language of angels." "Teacher?" "The Festival's in a few days." "We have to practice." "Yes!" "The Festival!" "Let's rehearse the song." "María Isabel, take the stage." "You got the wrong name." "I'm Jennifer, star of the Festival." "It's not her." " Aren't you going to sing?" " Shall I begin?" "María Isabel, come on." "Come on." "Sir, don't you remember?" "She gave up singing two years ago." "Uninterested?" "Aggressive?" "Need for attention?" "My girl isn't like this." "What's this Manuel's game?" "Psychology." "Music's a hobby to him." "Psychologists!" "I can't stand them!" "They want you to think you need them for everything!" "May I come in?" "Hello, Manuel." "How are you?" "Julia!" "Julia, my darling!" "I'm sorry." "Ever since that bump I got in the car," "I get these fits of enthusiasm and passion." "You should've seen me hugging the Director of Studies, kissing him on the mouth..." " But I'm okay now." " I'm so glad." "I actually came here... to apologize for the accident my daughter caused." "Don't hold this against her." "María Isabel's a good girl." "She's an exceptional girl, she's just going through a bad patch, like all of us." "She's 12 years old." "Who didn't do silly things at that age?" "Yes, sometimes we forget they're children." "Well, that's all." "I won't bother you anymore." "Thanks for your time and for being so understanding." "I'm sorry." "The bump again." "Well, I'm sorry." "Thanks." "Like a Coca-Cola?" "No, thanks." "Coffee?" "Tea?" "Water?" " Gazpacho?" " No, no." "That's lucky, because there isn't any." "Did you know I was a child psychologist?" " No, I didn't." " Neither did I." "I mean..." "Now that you're here, we could discuss María Isabel" " and the family in general." " I'm sorry, some other day." "I'm busy with the wedding preparations." "Wedding?" "I love weddings." "Who's getting married?" "In two months..." "I am." "I'm sorry." "They keep putting more and more caffeine in this." "Sure." "What do the kids say about it?" "They must be furious." " They haven't said anything yet." " Sure." "With all that rage inside, they can't speak." "What do you mean?" "Sorry, I'm speaking from professional experience." "They don't say anything, but the process goes on inside." "I'm a child psychologist." " Did I tell you?" " Several times." "Wait." "Have you thought about why María Isabel stopped singing?" "Here's my number." "You'll need a helping hand." "No, thanks." "I can work it out myself." "You've already done enough." "I have to go." "I'm sorry." "Don't misunderstand me." "I just want to help María Isabel." "I know, thanks, but someone's waiting for me." "Traitor." "But she looks so cute." "Why did no-one tell me about this?" "Ever since I came here" " I've done nothing but suffer." " Stop whining." "You insisted on going down." "Who's this loser she's marrying?" "She's so simple and innocent..." "Whoa, a Porsche!" "She never liked attracting this much attention." "You should see his bike!" "It's amazing how much it pollutes." " Just what I needed." "You said you'd be five minutes." "Wait a bit longer." " No!" " Yes, wait." " Give it to me." " Wait." "Give it to me." "Give it to me." "Hang on!" "See you later." "Give it here." "You said five minutes!" "Leave me alone!" "That's Dani." "He's grown so much." "He's so big." "He's just like me, I loved mayonnaise too." "I spoke to your music teacher this afternoon." " I was quite surprised." " Of course." "He's nuts." "I don't like you saying that, especially about a teacher." "And you, stop piling on the mayonnaise." "I got the impression he likes you a lot." "Anyone else would've held a huge grudge." "But he seems almost grateful." "He is a bit weird, isn't he?" "In the Festival I play a cat who thinks he's a rabbit." "Now that's weird." "It sure is, honey." "As long as it's not a giraffe who thinks he's an ant." "What does that mean?" "It's a play on words." " María Isabel!" " That's not fair." "It's her turn to clear the table." " We haven't finished supper." " I have, and I've got homework." "I'll do it, Mum." "But she has to set and clear the table tomorrow." "And I won't give in." "Time's up, honey." "Off to sleep." " Mum..." " Yes?" "Can I tell you a secret?" "Go ahead." "Sometimes I think that Dad's an angel and he helps us when we need it." "That's lovely, honey." "But when you need help, you'd better ask me." "Go to sleep." "Good night, honey." "María Isabel!" "Darling, I'm desperate." "María Isabel's gone and I don't know what to do." "When you hear this, call me." "Manuel, my girl's not at home." "I need your help." "Relax, I'll be right there." "Where are you going?" "You'll get there in 20 seconds!" "She'II think you live in her mailbox!" "You're right." "Hang on..." " You know where she is, don't you?" " Hey, I'm an angel." "Then tell me and we can sort this out." "Oh, you're making demands now?" "Julia, I'll go straight to where I think she is." "Alright, see you soon." "How do you like my initiative?" "Go to the school, you'll find her there." "I'm so sad and tired today." "Dreams on my pillow, scattered they lay." "The hours never end." "If my mother doesn't need me now, pull the petals from the flowers." "And it's you that I need, to see your light in the sky." "Papa, since you've gone," "I don't know how to behave." "That's why...." "Now that I'm alone," "God, I've come to beg you." "I just don't know what I'II do if I begin to lose my faith." "Now that I'm alone, light years from anywhere, give me a sign." "Don't tell me this is the end." "And tonight I don't understand a thing" "I'm full of rage, I'm so angry." "I don't think I can forgive." "My mother tells me this story of second love in all its glory." "And it's you that I need, to see your light in the sky." "Papa, since you've gone," "I've forgotten how to smile." "That's why...." "Now that I'm alone, light years from anywhere, give me a sign." "Don't tell me this is the end." "Hello." "Hello." "Have you thought how your mum must feel right now?" "She'll have called her moron boyfriend and forgotten that I exist." "Come on, you're a smart girl." "How can you think that about your mother?" "You don't know her." "No, but today I saw her worried about the most important girl in the world to her:" "You." "If I'm so important to her, why is she marrying that man?" "Have you given her a chance to explain?" "No, and I never will." "I don't want any man acting like he's my dad." "Look..." "I'll tell you something for you to keep right here." "When you've loved someone, you never forget them, because their memory lingers, locked in your heart." "That's sounds nice, but this isn't like that." "If you loved your mum, you'd want her to be happy." "Your dad would want that." "You know nothing about my dad." "Fine..." "I know nothing about him." "But I'm sure he was a great guy, and he'd want you to be with your mum now." "Let's go." "She must be frantic." "Come on." "Okay, you did well." "But I'm not letting you in that house." "You're not the father anymore." "Anyway, in that bowtie you look a fright." "You should go inside by yourself." "Remember what we talked about." "Let your mother be happy." "I'll try." "You can do it." "Besides, I'm sure the man she's marrying is a good person." "Okay." " Ciao." " Ciao." "What are you still doing there?" "Move it!" "Get in your car and go." "You were great." "Hello." "Hello?" "You're Dani, aren't you?" "Yes." "And you're María Isabel's teacher." "My sister says you're crazy and Mum thinks you're the weirdest person she's ever met." "Weirder than a cat with a rabbit's personality." "Dani, who are you talking to?" "Oh, hello." "What are you doing there?" "Go on, off to bed." "María Isabel told me you'd gone." "I was just going." "I don't know how to thank you." "Why don't you come in?" "No, I have to..." "Yes, I'll come in." "Please." "I was so worried." "Thanks a lot." "Just as well you found her so quickly." "I imagined you were frantic." " What a beautiful house." " Thank you." "Hello." "I'm Luis, Julia's fiancé." "Thanks for what you're doing for María Isabel." "Julia and I agree, it's more than one could expect from a teacher." " Are you alright?" " Manuel?" "No, I'm fine." "This wasn't a good idea." "My car's double-parked." "I should've known!" "With leeches like Luis, you can't even die in peace!" "I told you not to go in." "Anyway, Luis isn't the problem." "What do you know?" "Have you ever been in love?" "It's very easy playing angels in Heaven, but there are real problems here!" "This is life!" "This is life!" "This is life!" "You've been dead for two years!" "Isn't it time you and your girl accepted it?" "That's all that's going on here." "No, no." "What's going on is that this sewer rat wants to take my place!" "I'm María Isabel's father and I'll solve her problems my way!" "You'll do as God wills!" "I can't take you anymore." " Get out of there!" " Don't touch the earphone!" "Carlos, don't touch...." "We're done here." "Carlos!" " Hello." " Oh, hello." "I came to see María Isabel." "But she's at..." "Don't tell me she's not at school!" "Oh, yes, silly me." "I saw her as I was going into class and she said..." "Hello." " That's right, "hello"." " Hello, girl." "Which way did you leave?" "By the back gate." "And how did you get here?" "By bus." "Hey, I walked, and I still got here first." "What was it you wanted to show me?" "Oh, it's in my room." "Mum, can I show him my collection of?" "Collection of..." " Butterflies." " Butterflies." " Dried ones." " Dried ones." "Come on." " You have dried butterflies?" " No." "Dried butterflies?" "So this is your room." "It's... very neat." "That painting's very nice." "But I think it needs something." "It needs a rainbow in the middle." "I could help you paint one." "Mine are really ace." "No, I like it how it is." "And thanks for covering for me." "Wow, you're already on a skateboard." ""For Dad"." "Let's hear it." "No, please." "It's not meant to be played." "Ljust felt like hearing it." "What are you doing at my house?" "I came to say that you were right." "That guy who's going to marry your mother is a tick, a twit... and a twerp." "I'm going to help you convince your mother" " that this guy's no good for her." " How are you going to do that?" "By treading very carefully." "Sorry, I had trouble finding it, but it'll kill the pain." "Right here." "I'll make some coffee." "Thanks." "My husband took that photo." "He wanted the cliffs behind us, see?" "At a precise time in the afternoon, because of the light." "He didn't see a prickly pear behind him, he slipped, fell over, and you can imagine." "Just remembering it brings back the pain." "I mean, I can imagine." "It must be nice to have memories of people who made you laugh." "Yes, Carlos was hilarious, my daughter adored him." "In fact..." "when he died, she stopped singing." "He was an ideas man at a publishing house." "Hold it right there." "You don't mean Blasco?" "Carlos Blasco the ideas man?" "Yes, that was my husband." "Did you know him?" "Knew him?" "I admired him." "Aterrific guy!" "I was about to work with him on a collection..." ""The History of the Flute"." "It doesn't ring any bells." "No, it didn't come out." "Some workmate of his, the typical... jealous, humorless, talentless..." "That'd be Luis, they didn't get along." " Dani, will you get the door?" " Coming!" "But Luis isn't like that, he's clever, sensitive," " romantic..." " Let's get back to your husband." " What was Carlos like?" " Carlos was..." "Like you said, terrific." "He made the most mundane thing something extraordinary." "What else?" "He was wonderful..." "Uncomplicated, but with his odd little habits, his obsessions his peculiar habits, as peculiar as he was." " Hello!" " How are you?" "Good." "Didn't you hear... the doorbell?" "Luis." "The teacher!" "How are you?" "Manuel came to see María Isabel, but Dani's skateboard got in the way." "Yes, I did my ribs in." " Heavens!" " You won't believe it." " He's a collectables fan." " Go on!" "Do you recall a collection of?" "Anti-inflammatories!" "She gave me one that killed the pain in a jiffy." "It's a miracle." "Put this on again tonight and tomorrow morning." "Yes, I've got the numbers." "We don't have to go outside Spain to make them." "I'm sure the two reports will convince you." "We'll talk later." "Ciao." "Kids, Julia..." "Why don't the four of us go out to dinner tonight?" "Yes!" "To that hamburger place we went to with Dad." " Yes, darling." " Mum, Luis..." "Can we invite Manuel to dinner?" "I'd really like that." "What a great idea!" "Hey, don't push." "This place isn't bad." "I've heard about it but I've never been here." " I haven't had a hamburger in ages." " Sometimes one hits the spot." "I like food with a bit of substance." "You can tell." "Dani!" "What are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "That's as hot as hell." "Excuse me." "Yes?" "No, a budget for 10,000, not one less or no deal." "Yes, use butyrate, no ABS." "Butyrate gets more color, and it's more flexible." "I need a more competitive price, or we'll make it in China, and I don't want that, do I?" "Perfect, I'll expect your fax at 11 a.m. Tomorrow." " Cold hamburger tastes awful." " Not a minute later." "Yes, we can start." "You're right, honey." "Let's have dinner in peace." "It'll be the first dinner with Luis where both his ears are here." " Luis has a very demanding job." " No, it's not." "We're just doing a new collection, and you're a fan it seems." "No." "I was." "There are no good creative people anymore." "I go past newsstands and think," ""What kind of numbskull would buy this junk?"" "Yes, you're right." "It's hard to find new ideas." "They got it wrong." "This is my hamburger." "What's a good idea to you?" "A good idea?" "Well, here goes." "You may recall our collection of angels a few years ago." " It was a huge hit, all the rage." " How could I forget?" "Now we're thinking about the house of the angels." "I was looking at her Snow White house one day, and thought, "Why not?" "Go for it."" ""Go for it." "The sky's the limit!"" "Well, no." "Angels don't live in houses, they live in thin air, on clouds." " That's your great idea?" " Don't!" "Sorry about before." "It was meant for Luis." "You almost killed me." "But I have a plan." "You haven't sent me anything yet?" "Wait, I think it's coming." "I'll call you." " Luis, you have a visitor." " Ana, I told you to cancel..." "What a surprise!" "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to talk to you." "You've got me at a bad time, I have an important meeting." "This is important too." "I want us to be friends." "How about a quick soda then?" " The presentation's in ten minutes." " I'll be right there." "I've been wanting to talk to you too, and I'm glad you made the first move." "Good morning." "The Production Dept." "Thanks." "We'll be more comfortable in my office." "María Isabel, please!" " It was an accident." " Look at me, girl!" "Good grief." "Get some napkins." "Hello?" "I revised your budget and I'm not convinced." "I think we'll use more expensive materials." "My voice?" "Yes, it's the air-conditioning." "Use ABS, aluminum-plated, polished and varnished." "It goes outside the budget?" "No problem." "Send me the budget by fax in two minutes." "I also got chocolate on those reports." "Oh, those reports..." "And I blocked Mum's mobile so she'd miss your calls." "Now I understand." "What I don't get is how I'm still alive." "Your enemies should be careful, eh?" "Luis!" "What's done is done." "Friends?" "Luis!" " Remember the scratch on your car?" " What scratch?" " Two weeks ago." " Of course." "I did it." "And the graffiti?" " The graffiti too?" " That was my friends." "I don't know whether to forgive you or call the police." "Do you see why we had to talk?" "Sure." "And..." "I know you won't forgive me." "Forgive you?" "Of course I do, sweetie." "Thanks, Luis." " Luis, they're waiting." " Coming." "Here, I need ten copies, fast." " Bye, Julia." " See you." "Oh, hello!" "I wanted to thank you." "I don't know how you did it, but my girl's much happier." "Yes, she looks happy." "You have to know how to motivate children." "Actually, this morning she did some excellent work." "Sorry, just a moment." "Yes, honey." " Manuel, the homework." " Dinner tonight?" "Is there something to celebrate?" "I don't know if I'll find a sitter." "Yes, I do want to." "Let me try." "Bye." "Excuse me." "I have to find a sitter urgently." "Don't bother, I'll mind your kids." "No!" "Seriously?" "Yes." "This way you'll have a reason to thank me." "Really?" "Thank you." " Hello." " Hello." "Have you ever been a sitter before?" "Not me." "This is going to be so boring!" " Hello." " Hello." "What's this lack of discipline at the table?" "Excuse me, Miss." "Diners and food in general warrant a certain respect." "Who taught you to do that?" "How rude!" "Are you angry?" "I'm hopping mad!" "That was to make him see that I'm a good sitter." "You scared me to death." "I got you both!" "You didn't scare me at all." "Oh, no?" " Can you tell stories?" " Have you heard of storytellers?" " Well, I'm the best." " I'm sure you are." "Pretty!" "You look pretty, Mum." "Turn around." "Thanks, honey." "Behave yourselves, I know you." "And Dani, brush your teeth." "You always forget." "Yeah." " Thanks for coming." " No problem." "I have to go, it's late." "Honey..." "Don't drive him crazy." "I've got my eye on you." "She looks so nice." "Shame it's for dinner with Luis." "Let's do something!" "Am I right?" "Or are we going doze off?" "Put on some music." "I'm starting to like this." "María Isabel, let's get this party started." "Come on." "Let's turn things around here." "Let's play a new game called Upside Down World." "I'll use a frying pan to play tennis, and toaster to watch my movies," "I'm going to change everything around me." "I'll keep my CDs in the dishwasher, now that the kitchen is one big CD player, and to get inside, you have to dance to this song." "Don't try this at home, it's much too dangerous," "I really mean what I say." "And if you see me do this, it's really just for fun, 'cause nothing is real today." "In Upside Down World, nothing is what you think." "Let your imagination roam, adventure in your own home." "In Upside Down World, your home is second to none, there are a thousand ways to have some fun." "Jump up on the sofa, jump a little more, have a pillow fight, nothing I like more, andjust wait till Mum gets home!" "Everything is crazy, don't miss the fun, the party's just begun." "In Upside Down World, nothing is what you think." "There are a thousand ways to have fun." "C'mon, everybody, one hand in the air, be careful that your neighbor doesn't tickle you there." "One step forward and one step back spin right around, now we're on track." "In Upside Down World, nothing is what you think." "There are a thousand ways to have fun." "China's a unique opportunity." "Five months will fly by." "And I convinced them to let me come back three days a month." "Julia, are you alright?" "Thank you." "Darling..." "I've owed this to you for some months now." "A proposal without a ring just isn't the same." "I promise, the day I get back we'll get married." "A toast to us?" "What does this mean, Julia?" "That..." "I can't marry you, Luis." "What do you mean?" "I can see that when work's involved, your career always comes before me." "But Julia, I love you." "I know." "But that's not enough." "We see each other less and less and... that's no way to start a family." "...and Dani needs one point to be World Champion." "María Isabel lets him past, he crosses the line and Dani the Driver is World Champion!" "Who are you?" "I don't understand." "It can't be pure chance." " Would you like a drink?" " Yes." "Whisky?" "Sure, whisky." "I broke up with Luis." "I'm so sorry." "Do you believe in ghosts?" "Ghosts, no." "Why?" "Because I had a date with one tonight." "I saw my husband." "He was right in front of me, in the same restaurant, at the same table... even the same waiter." "That night, my life stopped." "Then I come home and see you..." "I think I'm going crazy." " Your order." " You made a mistake." "No way, handsome." "You?" "What are you doing here?" "You broke the rules again." "It's your fault, you idiot." "Is this nice what you're doing?" "Who are you to ruin Julia's life again?" "The one who loved her most, and I'll free her from that fool even if I end up in Hell." "She already lost you once." "Have you forgotten you have a return ticket, nitwit?" "You are dead!" "You accomplished your mission and did what you wanted." "María Isabel got what she wanted and she'll be fine." "Tomorrow we'll see if she makes up with her mother." "You and I are going to Heaven." "Here I come!" "Don't overdo it!" " Hello, girls." " Hello." "Hello, María Isabel." "See you tomorrow at the Festival!" "Great." "You must know your dad's photo album off by heart." "It's about time you took your own photos." " Here." " Cool!" "I can keep it?" "Thanks a lot." "It's a beautiful camera." "I hope I don't break it." "Do you believe in angels?" "Yes, they're good and they help us." "Look..." "I always keep this with me." "You're an angel, aren't you?" "Give me a hug." "Dani!" "I've got to go." " Here, your angel." " Thanks." "Well, Carlos, your time has come and your work is done." "You've been a bit naughty, but I'm proud of you." "You're doing very well, and the hard part's over." "Julia's a strong woman." "She'll get over it quickly." "Come on, it's our time." "Come on, you'll be late." "So will you." "Get in." " What are you doing?" " What's this idiot doing there?" " Luis..." " Kids..." "Julia, you were right." "I am ambitious, and I don't want to lose you." "Being with you and your kids will be my greatest success." "Will you marry me?" "How can I go to China?" "I hate rice." "Luis..." "Carlos, what did I tell you?" "María Isabel!" "Carlos!" "María Isabel!" "Wait!" "Carlos!" "I'll send you to China this time!" "You'll find out!" "I'm going to have to specialize in rescuing you." "Did you see?" "Luis is back and my mum went with him right away." "We have to think of something else." "A new plan, that one didn't work." "Right, a change of plan, something else... or a change of tactics." "If you can't beat them, join them." "What do you mean?" "Maybe we haven't been totally fair on Luis." "Why stick up for him now?" "You never liked him." "Not at all, but what Luis did was important." "Giving up that trip means that he wants to be part of the family." "Maybe your dad wouldn't have done the same." "My dad?" "Why do you talk about him as if you knew him?" "He was the greatest and no-one can take his place." "Hold on!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Simona, no!" "I can't go like this!" "End of discussion!" "You're staying here!" "No!" "Please let me go down again!" "I know what to do now!" "In your dreams." "From now on, we stick to the rules." "Get back in your place." "I'll think of something." "How long will that take?" "One year?" "Two?" "An eternity?" "What if it's too late?" "Are you going to let a girl, through no fault of her own, be unhappy because of your obsession with rules?" "Leave my rules alone, I broke them all because of you." "Just one more time." "I can change my daughter in just five minutes." "Please, I can reach her heart." "Boss, listen to him." "Sometimes we don't get results in 40 years." "Shut your trap!" "Here we do as I say, full stop!" "You should at least go for your brother's sake." "He'll be sad if you don't go." "At least look at me." "I'm not going, and you have someone to go with." "It's up to you," "I won't force you." "I'm so excited about your performance." "We're bound to win this year." " My glass of water, please." " Of course!" "A glass of water for the star!" "How organized!" "Your glass of water!" "When you go on, don't think about anything, just sing." "And if you've got something you want to let out, now's the time." "Girl, that must've felt good." "Anything else?" "Good gracious!" "I grew up on a farm and I never heard such a thing!" "I don't know what's..." "My God!" "It's a woodwind concert!" "What is going on here?" "What is that stink?" "Please, say something!" "You said that before." "Jennifer can't go on." "She can't stop..." "God!" "The smell!" "We've had it." "We've got no-one to represent us yet again." "What if she burps and sings?" "That's usually funny." "Forget it." "I didn't say a thing." "God, all is lost." "We're the ones that are lost." "Where is the stage exactly?" "What a pig." "Is that nice girl going to sing?" " What's her name?" " María Isabel." "Yes!" "She lit up the stage." "No, no!" "No need to come with us!" "Thanks." "Come on, Socorrín." "Give me your mobile." "Hello?" "María Isabel, at last!" "We need you urgently." "We've lost our artist, and no-one's better than you." " You have to save us." " No." "I can't." "Breaking news of a last-minute change in the school festival, "We Have a Star"." "Now representing San Miguel," "María Isabel." "At last she'II have the chance to sing the song she wrote for her father." "We're sure that today her star will shine brighter than ever." "Need a taxi?" "Ready?" "Ladies and gentlemen, my dear children," "I have to inform you that... the final contestant, and representing this school..." "María Isabel!" "Gorgeous!" "That sounds good." "I wake up again and you're not here, you were the first one to go." "Last night, going to bed," "I couldn't say "good night, I love you"." "It's so hard growing up without having you near whenever I need you." "I want to be so happy with you by my side but I just can't see you." "Today I feel your heart so close that I wrote this song for you." "Now you're not here, it's so hard to overcome my moments of loneliness." "I want more time with you today." "I need to see you more." "Come back, Papa." "How bored you must be working non-stop and your boss is a pain." "Come back and let's play, the two of us together, we can have fun again." "I want to give you a hug," "I want to tell you how much I love you." "And I also know that you remember me, and miss me so." "You'll always be an ideal dad, the kind that others wish they had." "Now you're not here, it's so hard to overcome my moments of loneliness when I want your love, Papa." "And if you're not here," "I believe you'll be back soon." "I get so desperate waiting and look for an angel to guide me." "I want to be with you." "Now I know you won't be back, because Heaven is your home, but I feel you're beside me." "And of God I only ask for your happiness because I know...." "Now you're not here, thinking of you will help me in my moments of loneliness and your love will reach me from above." "You're not here anymore, and I know you won't be back, but your star will watch over me." "Now I have an angel to guide me." "I know you're here, Papa." "I love you, Papa." "I know you're here..." "Papa." "It's the most beautiful song I have ever heard." "Come out with me, I want everyone to see you." "They can't see me, only you can." "María Isabel," "I want you to be happy and to make your mother happy." "And your new father." "But I..." "I'll be watching you from a star like this." "And I'll always be with you." "Go on, they're waiting for you." "Papa..." "Everybody up!" "Now you're not here..." "What do you say?" "Now you're not here..." "I love you, Papa." "...." "With me, with me." "I love you." "Now you're not here." "You know I'll miss you." "You could see my soul and my love for you." "My life changed, my heart fell apart when you went away from me." "And I want you to know that I remember your voice singing our song to me." "And I won't give up until I feel that you're here with me." "Amid the mountains the sun shines, my life changed, though I'm still me." "Thousands of stars in the universe today will walk with you.... ... towards me, towards my love." "I'd like to think of a place where you could be a reality," "I could reach my dream and touch your heart, but you went away from me." "Just one moment by your side and to be happy with you again," "hand in hand and smiling." "To feel that you're here." "Amid the mountains the sun shines, my life changed, though I'm still me." "Thousands of stars in the universe today will walk with you.... ... towards me, towards my love." "And I know you'll never forget this love." "Tears that bring pain to us both." "You left without saying goodbye." "Amid the mountains the sun shines, my life changed, though I'm still me." "Thousands of stars in the universe today will walk with you.... ... towards me, towards my love."
