"I know him." "Look, I think the best you can do is leave." "I'm sorry, but I won't leave until I know Augusto is fine." "So, what did she say?" "Not much." "You were talking to her." "What did she say?" "What were you two talking about?" "Nothing, she just found him in the street.. ." "And what happened?" "and she brought him in." "Anyways, it was difficult..." "Yes, sure." "tell me." "Look, elena, she won't leave until she sees Augusto." "So please, remain calm." "You're right, this coffee sucks." "I'II go get something better." "Excuse me, what will you do to him?"

"Can you please leave?" "What?" "She was Iying there with my husband!" "What the hell?" "elena, please." "You can go in, but just for one minute." "You can go first, then your daughter." "Understood?" "I'm the only one going in." "Can I go?" "Yes, right after your mom." "Do you want a cigarette?" "No, I want to see him." "But you can't see him." "He said she's the only one who can." "No, he said she could go in, then, her daughter." "well, but you're not her daughter." "Are you?" "No, no." "Do you want a cigarette?" "No, I want to see him." "relax, don't strain yourself." "Take it easy." "Take care of her, elena." "Take care of her." "What are you saying?" "Take care of her?" "No, Augusto." "How can you ask me to do that?" "She's all alone." "What?" "She won't.. ." "She won't be able to do it alone." "How can you ask me to do that?" "How can you be such a bastard, Augusto?" "How can ask me to do such a thing?" "Are you going to die now?" "Don't die." "Augusto!" "incline Thy ear, O Lord, to the prayers.. ." "with which we suppIiantIy entreat Thy mercy for Thy servant, Augusto, whom Thou hast called out of this world, and cause him to be joined... to the fellowship of Thy saints."

"Pastries come with tea," "not two hours later." "I was answering the phone, ma'am." "Who called?" "Someone for Mr. Boss, some guy, Agustin." "What did you tell him?" "That he died." "I don't want you talking about my husband's life. .." "without telling me first." "well, he won't complain, he's dead." "Dead people don't talk." "Excuse me." "Why don't you get rid of her?" "Augusto liked her." "And she knows things." "What things?" "She knows things." "She said something about that girl's apartment." "He paid her an apartment?" "In Chinatown." "Hi, this is Adela, please, leave a message after the beep." "Thank you." "Adela, Paula here." "Where are you?" "Should I call a replacement for you?"

"You really have a bad temper." "call her." "Who?" "call the girl." "I want to talk to her before I go." "For what?" "What?" "I mean it, ma'am." "She's still too weak to be mistreated, be yelled at and received punches." "What a footballer way of speaking you have, Justina." "Just call her." "You won't go?" "Justina, you knew about my husband and that girl, right?" "Of course, you did." "But you won't say anything." "You're still faithful to him." "I've never failed you either." "call her." "Go." "Excuse me." "Where did you meet my husband?" "At university." "University?" "Yes, I'm studying journalism." "It's true."

"I can't believe you did such a calculation." "well, I did." "Esther, I've just called." "I Ieft three messages, but nothing." "Did he say he's coming?" "Yesterday, his assistant told me he was coming." "Then he's coming." "If he said so, he is coming." "We'II stay here waiting." "Can you go for. ..?" "Do you want a cup of coffee?" "No." "Bring me one." "And some water." "Okay." "Do you know what I'd Iike to know?" "Why did he do it?" "Why?" "I don't know." "I didn't really know my husband." "Who is that?" "Who?" "That tall guy." "That's Eduardo, our new cameraman." "He's good." "The one sent by LeopoIdo?" "Yes." "Is he good?" "That's the one." "Yes." "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce you to him." "Eduardo!"

"He doesn't want to be in this documentary." "Don't say that, elena." "Come on, please." "Don't do what you always do!" "You use the phone just to avoid answering me." "The phone didn't ring!" "This woman!" "elena!" "What are you doing?" ""I started loving you, you little defeated girl." "Your green sweater, smiling, calmed." "You were so clear, so alive, so mine... that I wanted to love you for the rest of my Iife."" "Did he write this to you?" "Give me that." "I don't like to have people in my room without my permission." "Touching my things." "No, I'm sorry." "The book was on the bed." "I was wondering what side of the bed he preferred." "That side." "I feel like I can't keep living without him." "I can't picture a future." "How dare you tell me something like that?" "I'm the one who can't live without him, AdeIa." "You're so disrespectful." "You get in the middle of everything, pushing around." "What's wrong with you?" "Did you think that as we didn't have any kids. .." "we were not a family?" "As I was alone, you said:" ""I'II go in"." "But we are a family." "There's a family here." "Even though we didn't have any kids." "Get out of my room." "Leave." "Wait." "Let me ask you something." "How many times a week did you two meet?"

"We didn't mean to hurt you." "It just happened." "It just. .." "I'II go to the restroom." "Wait a minute." "I'm telling you to wait." "You think I'm stupid, right?" "No." "I do." "I spent five years thinking that my marriage was working." "Your marriage was working, elena." "really?" "Yes, he used to say he couldn't live without you." "He couldn't imagine a life without you." "So what's your part in this?" "I don't know." "What did he do with you?" "You were a good fuck?" "Are you better than me?" "I don't know if you're good or not." "I'm sorry." "Sorry." "Sorry." "What the hell are you laughing at?" "I'm sorry, I remembered a joke about a lame man in the street. .." "who wants to rape a woman and she tells him.. ." ""Go away, you're so lame.""
