"HEELS OVER HEAD" "Anyway, I have to confess something to you." "I'm always alert, prepared." "It's that sometimes chance and destiny are planned, and you can come across manipulated possibilities." "These can be opportunities." "The exact time to exceed yourself." "For example, your friend, the one I met yesterday." "Well, that's not the only reason I called you." "It's been ages since we've seen each other, hasn't it?" "It's just that lately I've been very withdrawn, you know?" " Yes." " Because of your friend." "I just couldn't guess what she was thinking." "With that face she has of..." "I don't know, of nothing." "But it seemed to me that this meeting was planned in advance." "Planned in detail." "A minimal introduction, nothing superfluous." "Hello." "How are you?" "Well." "And glances, that's all." "The one I introduced you to the other day." "Well, he called me yesterday to talk about you." "Well, not just for that, I hadn't seen him in ages and..." "He seems ashamed." "He has problems... with pressure." "He talks a lot and doesn't enjoy himself." "Well, he does." "He imagines things are strange and then wants something." "Still, he is patient, though." "Don't think that he loses sleep easily, he sleeps well." "...but last night I couldn't sleep a wink." "I saw her, I saw her." "I could imagine her perfectly, in my bed." "I spent all night watching her." "You can't imagine how clearly, I mean..." "She was brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful, self-assured he's childish, insecure, immature, vague, untrue, foolish irrational, hasty, infectious, fussy fertile, fascinating, dense, passionate, loving, amazing, arrogant, brutal, dark different, intense, charming, he transmits, communicates and most of all: a child." "In short: she delights me." "I can't stand anymore, tell her to meet me Saturday, my house at 8" "Anyway, it will be like a meeting, I really want to get to know her." "So we can chat a bit." "It's just that I'm desperate." "Seriously." "Got a light?" "No." "Thanks." "Well, you know already, tomorrow, his house at 8." "Don't miss it, because he's a man of good habits." "Elegant, distinguished, affected, proud, methodical..." "Hey, what happened last night?" "I was waiting until late and..." "No, yes..." "Well, he's a very resourceful guy." "Then he went to bed straight away, yes." "Yes, yes, he's with me, he's invited me for breakfast." "What a night!" "What a disaster!" "I assure you she's just another, and I end up sick." "Because, obviously, she doesn't know me." "It's a shame." "She does what she wants." "If she doesn't want to come, she doesn't." "Well, it depends, because she fools me." "and because I'm like I am, I go along with it." "And then, she's there again." "And she's talking, and there you go!" "We didn't stop for a moment, she didn't let me sleep." "It's worse and worse, because I end up believing it totally." "And of course, I'm thinking about this a lot." "Tell her, tell her that maybe he'll change apartment." "It's fantastic, but it's become too small for him." "He's a guy with lots of energy, he fills everything up immediately." "It's full all around, it oppresses him, he feels overwhelmed." "It's a pity you still haven't seen his home." "Anyhow, before he moves, I think he'll invite you to the party." "You know what's happening to us now?" "We have a very high conversations." "I mean, very deep." "It's incredible, she seems like such a superficial girl." "Well no." "You must listen to her, and I must too." "I feel more and more immersed." "It's like not being able to swim." "Like being drowned in the dark." "Tell her!" "Tell her I have eyes only for myself and..." "For you." "With all his affection." "But I he doesn't want you to open it until Saturday, because he loves to see your surprised face." "It's a fishbowl." "It's better not to move it much because it already has water in it" "He hasn't given you fish, but with the depth of it, they'd be crushed by the pressure." "At eight o'clock, eh?" "What?" "No." "She hasn't come?" "Of course." "Yes, I'd love to." "Where are you?" "Ah, OK." "Yeah, yeah, OK." "See you soon." "Oh, by the way, I'm going to write a novel." " Yes, I want a chamomile tea." " Bring me a beer, but bottled." " Draught?" " Yes, thanks." "Oh, by the way, I'm going to write a novel." "It will be a bit short, but sharp." "I have to leave you right away because I want to start it soon." "And how's it going to be?" "It is going to be..." "something conclusive." "I haven't outlined the relationships much yet." "But what I do have clear, is the format." "It will be 20cm in length, and 20cm deep." "...which is more or less loads of cubic centimetres in volume." "It's strange, right?" "I don't know if I should tell you, but I think he'll dedicate it to you" "Because he doesn't know you." "You are his unknown muse, he dreams about you." "You give him company." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "To watch him go by?" "Well, no." "No, girl." "No." "To speak to him, you have to call him and arrange to meet, like I do." "Because he's not going to call you." "Can I call you?" "Well, perhaps, something like that." "A little long." "Naturally, something conclusive." "As it's not going to have an end, the title may be the last thing." "Yes, that's it." "It must be beneath everything." "Like it's sunk, of course." "So he can start writing at the end." "Going back little by little, that will be good for him." "He'll be able to breathe better, there'll be more clarity." "In short, light." "Nobody can be bothered, imagine, after so many years," "I'll be able to start at the end." "...because he, what he needs is air, some sun, sun rays." "Fish, froth, violence." "Everything will become more transparent until it reaches the surface, at the beginning of the work." "And I come out, for a walk." "To get to know people a little." "Well, actually, I'm not sure about the the title." "What I do have clear, precisely, is that in the middle there'll be a comma." "Like a pause." " Look, the sea." " I feel like the waves." " How?" " In waves." " Got a light?" " No." "Right." "Well, let's breathe a little fresh air." " Maybe I'll kill myself." " When?" "In one of those waves." "Well that was the last one." "Yes, come on." "Hey!" "I have an idea." "Invite me over tomorrow and I'll bring her to you." "She can't say no." "But halfway through the meeting," "I'll have to do something and I'll leave." "You stay with her, alone." "What do you think?" "Ah, well, it sounds good." "Tomorrow, I'll have to go." "So I'll prepare the atmosphere a bit." " Would you like a special colour?" " Yes." " Good idea." " But don't overdo it." " What do you mean by that?" " Well, don't pressurise her." "About what?" "No, of course not." "What are we going to talk about?" "It would be good if you could lend me a hand." " Don't worry." " Worry?" "We could argue." "I'd prefer you to say things about me to impress her." "Fine, but you'll let me contradict you, won't you?" "Ah, good idea." "Always seeking controversy." "Right, and then we stop talking to each other." "Yes, but remember I'm the lead character." " Don't worry." " Ugh!" "Again." " She likes tonic water." " The bubbles." "Of course." "And have you thought about where we're going to sit?" "Ah, no." "You can sit opposite me, and we'll put her in the middle." " Of course, face to face." " Of course, and we argue." " I'm going." " Be careful." "Goodbye."
