"This tomb hasn't been cleaned today." "But M'am, there is a lot of work to do at home." "My son's headstone should always be clean." "Yes m'am" "Jose... my Jose." "It's been three years today since you left, and I still carry you in my heart." "My son... my son... rest in peace" "I don't believe it, it's exactly the same." "Do you like it?" "I'll bet you don't regret coming" "Antonio..." "You regret coming?" "Of course not." "You'll behave yourself?" "Yes, madam." "Oh ivy!" "Let me look at you." "But you haven't changed a bit." "Luchi, this is my husband." " Nice to meet you." " Oh, sorry, I just painted my nails" "Ana has told me so much about you" " that I know you better than my own family" "Yes, we love her, too." " Please, come in, have a seat." " Thank you." "Wow, it's the same." "Hmm?" "We've remodeled a bit." "And?" "How are you?" "Happy in your engagement?" "The joy... we can hardly take it." "Oh, that's the most important thing." "And Juan, your husband?" " We don't talk about Juan in this house." " Did something happen?" "No no, he's fine" "I'd just rather not talk about it." "Ana, come, we know the way." "What a joy to see you again." "Mother is turning 100?" "It's amazing, she'll bury us all." "It's unbelievable!" " And the girls, do they want to see her?" " Oh, she doesn't even recognize them." "Don't tell me that we're going to be sleeping in my room." "See if you remember it." "MY room!" "Oh my, ifs the same." "It's mom who made sure that you sleep in the same room." "The dress, pictures, the bed, everything's..." "There was something there..." "Luchi, what was there?" "Nothing." "There was never anything there." "Now I'm there." "Stupid." "You like it?" " I love it." " Yeah?" "You know that the first day I came here, I sat down here, and I was taking off my shoe, and the door opened, and Don Jose came in, and said..." ""Where is the passport?"" " She's told the me story 20 times." " It's true." " Where is Don Jose?" " How is he?" " You don't know?" " No?" "Jose died three years ago..." "a heart attack." "What?" "It was terrible for us all, worst for mom." "He was the only one capable of keeping order in this house." "Luchi, sorry, I didn't know..." "Well, I'll leave you to rest." "We'll eat dinner at 9:30, as always." "Oh, and mom doesn't want you to greet her until 7 in the afternoon." " Welcome." " Uh, welcome." "You can't see her, nor greet her!" "Jose, he was the soldier, right?" "Now who will take care of his uniforms?" "Did I ever tell you he had a fantastic collection of uniforms?" "Yes, you told me, and that you took care of them." "Yes, because my son Don Jose, you are the only person who can..." "Sorry" "I'm a pest." " Can I draw you a bath?" " No." "Yes, I'll draw you a bath of boiling water." "And, I've brought you a "bubble bath"." "No, nothing "bubble bath"" "I don't want to take a bath." "No?" "You don't mind if I take one then?" "My, how the time has gone." "Hey uncle, how are the exercises going?" "Bad." "Very bad" "I'll never find it." "Never." "Of course you'll find it, I'm sure." " You think so?" " Of course." "It's just that the advertisement said I'd pick it up quickly, but I've spent months on this." "I wonder if something about the flexor cables..." "Yes, it could be..." "Hello." "Hello." "I'm Natalia." "Antonio." "Ana's told me much about you." "Can I?" "Sure." " She's Carlota, my sister." " Hello" "I'm Antonio." "Ana's told me about you." "You know well that mom doesn't want you to smoke that." "So he thinks he can fly?" "I can't believe it!" "But who's who..." "Carlota, Natalia" "I can't believe it!" "Come inside, it's cold..." "But I can't believe it, it's impossible..." "When I last saw them they were..." "This small." " This is Antonio." " We've met." "And you Ana?" "The same as before?" "Oh I haven't done much." "What a compliment." "Little bird that sings in the lagoon, don't wake the baby in his cradle." "Go to sleep, sweet little one, until dawn." "To the kids to sleep, God watches over you and the mothers who clean them, God blesses them..." "We sang that song when we were..." "Yes, this small..." "Mother asks that you come down and help her immediately." "Sorry Ana, mother's unbearable." "'Til later." "Hello, Senorita Ana, your mother wants to see you." "She expects you in her bedroom." "Oh, um, can you tell her we'll get fixed up and..." " We'll be there to see her." " Great." "Come in, come in." "Oh, mother!" "Put on the lights, they leave me here in this darkness and I have the worst nightmares." "Mother... this is Antonio, my husband." "He's tall, good build... is he kind?" "No" "Ana, how good to see you, come, sit here next to me," "I knew you were coming, I knew... and you, sit here, sit here next to me." "Sit, sit, come." "Oh how happy I am!" "Tomorrow I turn 100." " Congratulations." " Tomorrow..." "Right, I'm still 99 years old!" " This... this doesn't work anymore." " Oh please..." "Glorify, my daughter, glorify, if it weren't for the injustices that they've done... tomorrow will be the first birthday that we're not all together" "I'm confident that Juan will come, I'm praying every day to my St. Anthony." "He called out to you?" "No... yes... yes!" "Bring it!" "Bring me my St. Anthony." "Give it to me!" "This one?" "Don't break it..." "No, it didn't break." "St. Anthony, who in Padua was born, in Salomon you studied..." "Thank you son, thank you..." "St. Anthony, bless you..." "Si." "Anthony..." "may my Juan come for my birthday." "Here." "And you really don't know anything of Juan." "Nothing, nothing" "Juan is a slave to his passions, you have to be very understanding with him." "He wrote me a letter, and then... nothing." "It said, "Mama, I'm going with Amelia to start a new life." "I'll carry you always in my heart."" "It's all Luchi's fault, she's so mean and self-centered, and as frigid as a glacier." "What Juan needs is a fiery girl of good flesh that..." "Uhh... where was I?" "That Luchi is a woman of cold calculation and that Juan needs a girl who is warm." "Oh, I don't know..." "The letter, the letter, it said that he was going to live with the cook." "Oh, she's the worst of bitches." "He doesn't realize that the flesh is temporary, and he follows girls around, looking for the trivial things down here." "Oh, we compromise so much." "The one who ran things when you left this house, my poor Jose, may he rest in peace, he closed himself in his museum, and didn't leave for a month." "And Fernando?" "Have you seen Fernando?" "Oh, the pilot?" "No, we still haven't seen Fernando, or Victoria" "Fernando... my son... everything belongs to the past" "I only have memories." "My Fernando is training to be a pilot!" "He wants to fly like a bird!" "Natalia!" "I have to find it" "Maybe the center of gravity isn't properly situated, or maybe I don't lean enough when I push off." "Let's go Fernando, what are you worrying about?" "Let's go, uncle." "Solange, the door." "Oh, Victoria!" "Victoria, do you remember me?" "Ana?" "Ana!" "Please, Ana, move out of the way." "Mama, it's time for dinner." "Oh, finally, I'm so hungry!" "Fernando, my son!" "Oh, how beautiful my girls are, how beautiful!" "What's for dinner Luchi?" "Oh, how hungry I am!" "I'm not embarrassed to say that the day that we met was December 28th," "and we ate partridge, and decided that if our love lasted, we would get married on February 14th, Valentine's Day." "Seven years!" "Luchi, this rice is delicious, absolutely delicious!" "Well, Victoria, have I told you today's dream?" "What did you dream, Grandma?" "Let me see if I remember... yes." "A terrible storm." "A terrible wind that whisked everything in the air." "Everything was in the air between" "Between rays and sparks of lightning." "Like the Apocalypse?" "Now, let's leave that theme alone." "Grandma, were we all in the house?" "Yes, everyone." "Everyone but Fernando, who was flying in the sky with his glider" "I was flying mother?" "Yes, son, you finally did it." "Grandma, what will happen to the ranch when you die?" "Carlota!" "Carlota, have you no shame?" "I'll tell you what will happen." "It will be sold, split up... they will tear down this house to make one of those ugly skyscrapers full of holes." "But as long as I live no one will build here." "You've gotten the character of Jose, Carlota." "What is Juan up to?" "Luchi, do you want to tell him to come tomorrow?" "I want to see him before... one last time, my Juan." "Mother, you know that his name is banned in this house that's what we decided." " We don't know where he is" "Fernando... tell him to come tomorrow" "I want to see us together one last time." "Next year, I won't be here." "But woman!" "What things do you say, such silly things?" "I don't know" "I want to see us together one last time." " If you really want Juan to come, he will come." " Mother is sick, Fernando." "Shut up Luchi!" "Let Fernando speak." "My son, what do we have to do to see him?" "Have faith." "Oh yes, yes, I have faith" "I have great faith." "You really want him?" "I really want him." "Mama!" "Juan!" "MY Son!" "You've returned!" "A seizure!" "The spoon..." "No!" "You don't do that." " Ana!" " I don't know..." "Ana!" "Please!" "Mama, calm down." "Rest... yes... rest." "Mama, rest" "Ana, can I use your facial cream?" "My skin is dry..." "You really think that Fernando can predict what will happen?" "Yes." "What a family." "What people." "It's a perpetual circle and the dead's place at the dinner table with their picture in front." "It's too much." "You know what most intrigues me is why Fernando was so adamant about you giving your mother the drops." "It's odd... odd, no?" "It's not odd, Ana?" "Ana?" "Can you hear me?" "Ana?" "Only when it rains... if not... no." "Nothing more came out from the under the stairs after she put the card in her pocket." "When she found out this secret, she opened the door and put her finger in the opening." "Then, closing the door quickly, she pushed on it with all the force she could muster." "After ten seconds," "she took her hand out very slowly." "She went to the chair and sat in it" "and she stared at her blackened finger, and at the blood that oozed out from under her nail" "Ana, please, I'm cold." "Dammit." "Shit." "You scared me." "Something in there interests you?" "No, I just heard and the music and wondered where it came from." "Want to come in?" " Sorry?" " Come in." "OK" "How beautiful." "You like it?" "A lot." ""Maui Wowie."" "What?" ""Maui Wowie."" "Sit." "My foot is wet." "...What?" "A glass of water fell into it." "Into your shoe?" "Let me dry it" "I like you." "Shall we make love?" "Yes?" "No?" "Yes?" "No?" "Yes?" "On my..." "What happened to your finger?" "It got caught in the door." "How in the door?" "Have you read The Brothers Karamazov?" "No." "Very tired." "A bit it's been a few years." "That was a low blow" "I'm going to take a few pictures of Fernando." "Hello!" " Hello!" " Natalia." "Can you bring my coat?" "Fernando!" "Come on uncle!" "He's going to hurt himself..." "Fernando!" "I haven't found it..." "I'll never find it" "I thought you killed yourself." "In life, you never find anything worthwhile if you don't." "Oh, that's why I wear the helmet." "Well, what I have found is that I need to wash up." "Maybe with veleno." "With what?" "It's a plant that grows nearby it's a lot of work to find it... but I will find it." "Uncle, the pass where you're going is very difficult." " Do you guys know about his head injury?" " His what?" "His head injury." "Before, he went out without a helmet." "Show them the scar." "See, that's because the center of gravity." "Those days I'll have to eat a little less so that I can maintain it." "Even though the path is no longer easy for the men of good character, he who walks will not make it far if he doesn't have strong feet and an obstinate spirit" "San Juan de La Cruz said that, in Los Dichos de Luz de Amor." " You're already talking nonsense?" " Luchi!" "Hello, Ana." "Seems like nonsense, Fernando." "Don't defend me." "Leave me be." " That's all I ask." " No, no, don't start again, that doesn't work anymore." "Mother wants us all to go tomb." "Carlota, Victoria, let's go." "You haven't noticed that the times have changed." "You've fogged up your stories of reality and that won't do anymore." "Take off your wings and put your feet on the ground." "Oh, and another thing." "The money is gone, it's over." "Not a dollar more for your flights." "And what will I do?" "You already know what you have to do" "Fernando... cheer up" "I'm so close to flying" "Jose... my Jose... it's been three years since you left and I still carry you in my heart." "My son... rest in peace." "Your collection gets better every time." "Button it up." "Uniforms transform their wearers." "And why don't you try it on?" "Oh, no." " Why not?" " The measurements are different." "No, no, the measurements are exactly the same." "No..." "Oh c'mon try it on!" "I insist." "Handsome." "The belt..." "I don't know how to this goes on." "How handsome you look in this uniform." "To kill, to conquer over others." "No bullets." "Move aside." "No!" "Move aside!" "My son," "I don't know if I'll see you tomorrow." "Let's circle the ranch with Ana and Antonio." "Well done Luchi." "But be careful of the traps." "OK, mother." "He died suddenly." "He was cleaning a pistol, I heard a scream" " He killed himself?" " No, a heart attack." "And what happened with the museum?" "Mom sold it to the Salvation Army." "What is he doing?" "Topographic study?" "Don't tell grandmother." "She doesn't want to know." "We are doing a project for an organization." "Carlota realized one day that it'd be interesting to study the terrain" "I decided when they sold uncle Jose's museum." "It seemed foolish, having all of this." "Of course." "We have this ranch of a few kilometers with no one living on it." "Once this was worth nothing" "Now it has no price... it's worth a fortune." "So we're looking into the possibility of building something." "Grandma made it clear that you can't build anything as long as she's alive." " You shut up." " No" "I will hit you, even in front of Antonio," " and don't talk back to your Mother like that" " Let's go" "Antonio, help me please." "Careful, careful" "I'm going to take a photo." "What do you think?" "It's beautiful." "This is an emporium of money." "Natalia!" "OK, now." "Stay still Ana, stay still!" "What?" "The trap." "What is it?" "Mom!" "What is it?" "Don't move." "With what enthusiasm and will can I begin the task of one day flying?" "To master the will of flight..." "To master the will of flight." "To soar over the cities contaminated with industry, to mount the wind and let it take me on the capricious currents of the sky," "thinking of nothing." "With my eyes half-closed, closed and my body plumaged." "Looking for that peace that they say one only finds in the heavens" "Ana... where are you?" "Why have you come Ana?" "Mother, do you hear me?" "Yes, son, yes." "Of course I hear you, but leave me alone" "I have many things to remember." "Yes, as you wish." "Don't leave me Ana, don't leave me" "I would give everything in my life for you." "Every thing that I have," "I would give for you" "I love you Ana" "I want you." "No!" "How terrible it is to be a slave to passion" "Amelia... two days without seeing you and I can't take it anymore" "I can't live without you." "How I love you" "I can't bear this house." "When I've finished my business here," "I'll return to you." "Now things are going to be different." "We'll finally have the money to do the things we want." "Look, look, what a disaster." "To fix this?" "Millions." "And for what?" "For nothing, I suppose" "Antonio, come, I know where things are." " Take off your jacket." " What?" "Take off your jacket." "These were in mother's room, on top of the armoir" "I've never seen them before" "Ana..." "Yes?" "Amazing!" "What is that?" "With a white shirt..." "do you have a white shirt?" "No." "Borrow one." "Mama!" "Look!" "There's more?" "They're made of gold." "Sorry Antonio, they're family memories." "This is our heritage, you don't play with these." "How beautiful!" "It's great Ana" "Antonio," "Look what Natalia found." "And you!" "Fred Astaire!" "Camphor!" "It smells so good, I love it." "Take that off right now." "Me?" "No Ana, not you, sorry." "Do you like it Ana?" " How beautiful." " Take that off, that's indecent." "Well, you're going to die of cold." "And on the birthday of your grandmother... you have no shame." "Natalia, listen to your mother, take that off, it's indecent and an affront to grandmother." "Take it off!" "You have no shame!" "You are all hypocrites." "And you mother, you know that this is yours." " Papa gave it to you as a gift." " Shut up, or I won't respond well." "You're a fool." " Luchi!" " Well done mom, well done." "It's about time someone taught that bitch something." "Carlota!" " What kind of words are those?" " She talks like a trucker." "What a mess!" "It's her fault!" "I have something that might interest you mother." " Victoria has made love with her uncle." " What the fuck..." " It can't be!" " You dirty rat!" "Bitch!" "Animal!" "Imbecile!" "Leave her alone!" "Go get Juan" "Antonio!" "Wait, I'll come with you" "I've borne three monsters." "The three of you, to the kitchen to help Solange." "NOW!" "I love you Antonio, I love you." "My dove... not right now" "I don't care." "Here they come." " Hello." " Hello" "I love you, I want you" "I want to caress you" "I want to make love with you." "OK, but not right now." "A just punishment can correct a bad will." "It hurts me much more than them, but no more." "Liberty and bad education are too often confused." "The most important thing is to put away these ways." "And that way, there are no more consequences." "An iron fist" "Jose had all the reason in the world to distance himself from us." " A lot of good that did." " What do you mean to say?" "Miss?" "Someone from the bank is asking for mother." "Yes, right away." "The trinkets." "Thanks" "I love you." "Don't ever leave me." "No, no." "You won't leave me?" "No" "I love you." "You are so beautiful." "Antonio?" "My dove..." "I want you so badly." "Hello." "Hello" "I'm here for a renewing of the letter." "My mother is ill." "She needs to sign here" "I'll take it to her, I'll be right back." "Mama?" "Mama?" "Can I?" "Hello, sorry to bother you." "Look, they've bought the letter from the bank." ""Oh, please, don't talk to me about letters."" "You have to sign it." "Oh it'll just take one moment." "You know how these things with the bank are." "How are you?" "Do you need a pen?" "Hello, grandmother." "Good." "Like that." "Great." "Beautiful, beautiful." "Until later" "Ana?" "Ana!" "Come here!" "Ana!" "Shit." "My boot..." "My boot..." "I'm his dove..." "Ana." "Little Ana, it's not worth the pain." "Don't be foolish, don't leave now because you're in no condition to face it." "You're confused by hate and bitterness" "Antonio loves you." "Don't say that." "The matter is much more profound than you think and you shouldn't destroy it in one moment of rage." "Listen to me..." "Antonio loves you" "Ana, don't leave me, they want to kill me!" "My children, they want to kill me, and only you can save me." "That's why you're here." "That's why I'm here?" "Ana!" "Please!" "I love you!" "Go fuck your dove" "Ana, I love you!" "Goodbye, forever!" "Go off with her." " I love you Ana." " Go with Natalia." "Listen to me, I love you." "Have you made love to her?" " It doesn't matter." " It matters to me." " Tell me, did you make love to her?" " It doesn't matter, I love you!" "You hurt me!" "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry." "What the fuck are we doing here?" "Did you?" "Yes." "When?" "You did it?" "You did it!" "We are all going crazy!" "Let's get out of here." "Here's the key, go get the car" "Antonio..." "I'm missing my boot, and I love you so much." "Come, woman" "I love you" "I love you so much" "I love you more than anyone in the world" "I can't" "I can't" "I can't like this, Luchi, as hard as I try, if you're not in the mood." " It's not my fault." " Right, it's my fault." "Go with that whore!" "You can't reproach me for anything" "I do all that I can." "There are no frigid women!" "Only incompetent men!" "He hit me..." "That's what was missing, a lesson." "You'll learn." "Don't hit me again, please" "I can't anymore." "Don't be like this, woman, don't be like this" "I'm going to get fixed up, Fernando is waiting for us." "Let's go Juan!" "Hurry up!" "What have you decided?" "I don't know." "He told us, yesterday." ""Ru get you guys?" "'" "And everything was going so well," "Mom's seizure at a perfect moment." "Why did you tell Ana to give her the drops?" "Didn't we decide that I would give them?" "It wasn't the moment." "You see?" "There's nothing we can do" "Fernando, please, we are up to our necks in this." "When the letter comes, it's all over." "Understand?" "There is no money." "Nothing." "Poor mother." "Mother has lived enough." "Now it's our turn to live." "She's right." " Careful what you say, she hears everything" " Oh, how foolish." "We'll do it another way." "This here is harmless." "No taste, no odor, no effect." "Mother simply won't recover from the attack." "She won't suffer?" "Of course." "She'll lose memory like she always does after attacks and that's that" "Fernando." "This is a labor of love." "OK." "We can't continue on like this." "We're in agreement then." "Only if she has a seizure." "And if she doesn't?" "Who will give her the drops?" "I would think Luchi." "Right." "Why not him?" "No, not me" "I'm number one, you're number two, and you're number three." "At the party we'll ask Ana to give us a number between one and three." "CK?" "Ana?" "Ana?" "Yes?" "Ana..." "Ven..." "I'm going to tell you something very important" "I need you." "You're the only person who understands." "Please... come" "I'm coming." "Come, come in!" "Don't worry!" "Natalia is taking a shower, and Antonio sleeps like an idiot." "Lock the door." "And fetch the box with my medicines in it." " What, you don't remember where it is?" " There?" "You have reason to worry, you can't trust anything about women" "Ana, my children are trying to kill me." "You already told me but..." "I don't believe it." "Yes, they want to kill me" "I'm old, and the elderly aren't worth anything." "They're all in agreement to kill me, split up my land, and destroy this house." " Are you sure?" " They're waiting for my next seizure and when they give me the drops and they have no effect," "I will die." "What?" "You know nothing." "You will be at the party, happy and content" "I already have it." "When I have the seizure..." "I'll get there first and give you the drops." "Oh, Ana, you are like sunshine." "You're the only person in this house that I trust." ""You can't trust anything about women."" "Oh, you are different, you are an outsider." "Oh, this is good, I knew you were coming to help me." "Now, go." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Oh, Lord, what sadness." "How the years pass." "Life is so beautiful" "I have little time left." "My son, come in" "I already know" "I already know what your problem is." "What can I do, Fernando?" "Come, enter." "Enter at once." "My son..." "Mama, as much as I try, I can't forget her." "You have to forget her." "It's painful, but it's the only way" "I can't anymore, mother." "She's stirred up the past." "You won't find anything trying to get her attention like a child." "As much as it hurts" "Ana won't give herself to you." "And what should I do, mother?" "Yell me and H!" "do it." "Please, help me." "First, fix yourself up and shave." "You have a good build, you're attractive." "Sit up straight." "Yes, like that, good." "And take a shower, you smell awful." "Put on a little cologne, and make sure you drink some wine." "No, not that." "Yes, you need to drink until you feel your head floating, but then don't drink anymore or you'll act foolish, and all that I'm telling you will be for naught." "And smile, have a compassionate countenance." "And make sure to steer the conversation to topics that interest us." "Like what, mother?" "Oh, what a chore you can be." "What has man obsessed over since he has had reason?" "Death?" "Oh, son, you've understood nothing about life." "Look around you." "What do you see?" "No" "I won't admit what I see." "What do you see?" "Meaningless things... indulgence... like animals." "It's not meaningless, ifs not vice." "It's the way of things" "I'll follow you and I'll guide you," "I'll tell you what you need to do." "You'd do that for me mother?" "You're confused and wounded." "Confused and wounded." "Now, go, 90." "Leave me be, I have much to think about." "Smile." "Like that..." "Just like that." "And now tel!" "her, sweetly but with confidence," ""Ana, how beautiful you are"" "Ana, how beautiful you are." "In this house, every day should be a celebration" "Fernando, you are looking very handsome." " Please, Ana, humor me, we are old friends, no?" " Yes." "And your collar..." "Forgive me Ana, but you have an exquisite neck." "Really, you like the collar?" "And say "And your breasts, that foretell your figure... "" " And your breasts, that foretell your figure" " Fernando!" " Mother..." " What?" "How beautiful!" "Natalia, Carlota" "Antonio, please, Fernando." "Everyone, come, come." "Just one!" "Quiet." "Lights!" "Music!" "My children!" "What joy, what joy!" "My Natalia, so beautiful." "My Carlota, oh how you are your uncle." "And a little kiss Victoria..." "And you too Antonio, little Antonio." "Oh, what joy." "How this all reminds me of my childhood." "When they dressed me and lifted me up... and one year the ropes broke and nearly killed me." "She was lowered like this every birthday until she was 18, and lost her virginity... at the hands of a soldier of low rank." "Just one of many atrocities!" "Fernando, my son." "My most precious son" "Ana, you, you too, come here Ana." "Give me a kiss." "Smells... smells like chocolate!" "Oh Luchi, how did you remember that I love chocolate!" "Fernando..." "Ana, please." "Tell us a number between one and three." "Fourteen." "Not you, you don't count, go." "What?" " It's a game." " A number from one to three?" "Two." " Me?" " No, she said two." "That's you." "Me?" "What do you mean?" "You're number two." " No, you're two." " I don't understand." "It's Juan's turn." "You've added bromide salt!" "You want to rob me of my potency." "A spoon of bromide every day is enough to leave one dry." "In the army barracks they give bromide salts to control the men's sexual urges." "So many virile young men." "The barracks is such a disaster in the morning, the men's sheets covered in semen." "Mother, please!" "Antonio?" "She knows..." " I don't care." " I do" "I love her." "And moreover, I don't want to hurt her." "My love." " Natalia." " What is it?" "Do you want chocolate?" "No, thanks." "Music, put on music!" "Come, let's dance." "Oh I don't know" "it's time!" "Quiet, quiet!" "It's almost time." "Close your eyes, mother." "But I can barely see." "Close your eyes." "Now you can open them." "Oh..." "I'm so happy."
