"Thank you." "It was a '96 Merlot." "Guess how much." "1 7 pesos." "1 3.50." "There was another one, a '94 Cabernet Sauvignon." "How much?" "1 2.20." "Watch it there." "Yes, yes." "I wasn't going to buy that one, but, you know,... it was ok." "Easy." "Fuck!" "Not again!" "Fuck it." "I'm going." "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME" "Javi..." "Javi, how do I look?" "Fine." "Remember I never put this on?" "Look at this profile and look at this one." "Cut that crap, you look gorgeous." "It shows and it's awful to touch." "I'm having them done." "I'm gonna ask my dad..." "... for the money as a birthday present." "It's a surgery." "Don't you realize?" "One that everybody undergoes!" "Do you want to rent a movie today?" "Ok, which one?" "I don't know." "Hello." "Hi, how are you?" "Ok." "Ok, in half an hour." "Ok." "Bye." "Who was it?" "Luis." "What did he want?" "One of the guys who always helps him..." "... is ill, the other one is not in town." "You don't worry." "I'm exhausted from the week and I wanted to rest." "Can't he go on his own?" "He can't." "No mineral water." "Why does he call you?" "I'm his partner." "You weren't going anymore." "Yes, but this is an emergency." "Luis is always in trouble." "Not always." "Only today!" "Don't take it out on me!" "POLICE SCHOOL JUAN VUCETICH" "Hello." "For the party..." "Leave it." "Give me another record!" "About two months ago..." "There it is, Javier." "These 635 cadets dreamt about their graduation party." "Last Friday, about 3000 people among families and friends  filled Juan Vucetich School." "Until the reception, everything was going ok." "When the lights went out, they looted and broke everything." "They threw tables, dishes..." "They stole my speakers, an amplifier..." "Luis had filed a complaint before the police." "This can't be true." "Only one person saw  an agent and his family stealing a speaker." "This country is a waste of time." "For God's sake!" "It's funny, I went to report  I'd been robbed by police graduates." "How would I describe it?" "Deplorable." "Hello." "Hello." "Fill this out." "Great." "Ok, good." "Thank you." "We said 20, right?" "Ok, 10, 20." "Bye, thanks." "We have to fill it out." "Would you lend me a pen?" "Thanks." "This scares me." "Me too, but I love it." "But it's weird, we're not rushing, are we?" "We get married, I travel." "I start organizing things, while you wait the processing." "No, no." "This way." "Meanwhile, you apply for your green card." "And when I come back, we both have our papers  and stop running and fighting over nonsense." "We need good quality time, that's what we need, love,  and we cannot have it here." "What is it?" "I don't know... getting married for a green card." "What will they say?" "What are we thinking of?" "I love you." "I love you too." "Yes, I'd love it to be different." "Get married in white, in a church;" "... that stuff, but now life tells me things are this way for me." "Next." "One minute." "And I take it and I love it." "We've been living together for 2 years..." "We live as a couple, we love each other as a couple." "Next." "One minute, please." "This only gives legality to what we already feel." "And it lets us go live abroad which is what we want." "Yes, yes." "No, no, no." "In that sense, yes, yes." "You have to fill this out." "Yes." "If it's mom, tell her I've already invited Aunt Silvia." "Hello, Estela, yes." "Aunt Silvia's already been invited." "And?" "We're not rushing, are we?" "What with?" "Everything." "The marriage, the trip." "This fast..." "No, love." "It's gonna be ok." "If you see there's nothing, you come back; it's an investment." "We get married in the process." "It'll be lonely as a honey moon, won't it?" "When we're there,  we can go somewhere." "It's the Caribbean, right?" "We won't have a cent at first, love." "I thought this was something we both wished for." "Is it?" "Yes." "Yes?" "Let's go then!" "I'm not going to do just anything there." "I mean, I got my job here." "Good or bad, it's my job." "I have a life." "When you're 20, you can start all over again." "Here we go again." "You're always complaining about your job!" "If I had the green card, I'd go." "You go to clear our doubts." "Your arm." "It's not that easy there, you know." "I lived 10 years there, I don't know if you'll get used to it." "I've been to Miami." "You were 9." "And that was Orlando." "Completely different." "But I drove past Miami." "It's got a low standard of culture." "Nothing going on." "Of course, you can't miss the opera." "I'm being serious." "Honey, it's a "door"." "If we don't like it, we move to another city,  but it'll be easier to adapt ourselves." "Your aunt and uncle are there." "Your folks' friends will help us." "Yes, yes?" "Smile." "No, no." "Horacio." "Honey!" "Thank you very much." "Dad!" "Thank you, thank you." "Horacio!" "A picture!" "Excuse me, I'm afraid you can't take pictures here." "You're not authorized personnel." "Dad, leave it." "Authorized personnel only." "Alright." "Come, dad." "I'm going for a piss." "Who was the guy you greeted at the door?" "Who, Dr. Domizzi?" "Dr. Domizzi, an expert, a charming old man." "When you talked about  your gynecologist, I imagined Heidi's grandpa." "That guy is..." "... capable of raping Snowflake." "He's my family's physician." "Shall we fuck?" "I'm dead tired, love." "I mean, it's our wedding night." "Alright?" "Alright!" "Weren't there 50 more?" "I paid the rent." "Ready." "That's it." "I can't." "I can't go on my own." "Why?" "I can't." "No." "I'm gonna miss you." "I can't." "No, love." "Easy." "It's only a few days." "It's good for you to go first." "It's crazy, honey, it's crazy!" "We're just married." "How are we going to be apart?" "Sweetie, sweetie..." "No, no." "It's alright." "Do as I say; for once." "We're going there for us." "For us to be able to be alright together, not to be  thinking how to make ends meet all the time." "Come on." "After all, I seem to end up alone in all this." "Ok, if it's this hard, let's drop it altogether." "Let's drop it..." "We stay." "We'll leave it for the future." "No, it's ok." "Let's do it." "Ok?" "Yes, let's do it." "Shall we?" "Let's go then." "Will you miss me?" "A lot." "I'II call you every day." "Love..." "Everything ok?" "Ok." "Good, let's go." "Let's go." "Sorry." "No, it's ok." "I'm nervous." "I'm flying alone." "Great, have a nice trip." "I'll call you as soon as I get there." "Easy, love." "I love you." "A perfect flight, I slept the whole time." "I thought I'd have to take a cab when I got there,..." "but they were all there to pick me up.-Did you recognize them?" "You can't imagine." "They haven't changed a bit." "It's as time hadn't passed." "It was incredible..." "Great!" "Yes, they had a room ready for me." "They got mad when I said..." "I was going to a hotel." "The house was cool?" "Amazing!" "So they're doing well in Miami." "Yes, great." "He has a distribution company." "The kids are starting university." "Now they're in Miami but they study somewhere else." "Mind you, when they came here, they didn't have a cent." "What does she do?" "She works with him." "She's sweet too." "You bought my Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt?" "I couldn't." "I was with the guy at the hospital." "I gave him your resume." "I got to call him." "He said you must have your papers." "That's great." "That guy's a whiz." "Have you gone to that mall..." "... you showed me on the net?" "It's fantastic." "When there are resources, things are different." "You know what?" "I have an interview next Friday." "You're on the roll!" "I went to see an apartment." "What?" "My aunt and uncle have an empty apartment..." "... and they'd lend it until we find something else." "Really?" "I'm so happy, love." "Great!" "In September we can move there." "We'd only pay expenses." "And our house here?" "We'll give it back." "Do you think so?" "Sure, at the end of the month." "Everything's more than ok." "What could we do there?" "Something's gonna come up." "Everybody helps you here." "You go on." "Hi, love." "Hi, cutie." "The guy from the hospital called." "He wants to interview you." "It'd be a 6-month leave." "If I stay, I'II let you know and quit." "What will you do in Miami during 6 months?" "There's something almost closed at the Memorial Hospital..." "... with the guy who came last year to the congress." "Morris?" "Morris, yes." "You should have told me before." "Besides, I don't know..." "I had other plans for you." "It happened so fast." "I have an interview..." "... next Tuesday to start on September." "This Tuesday?" "Yes, this Tuesday." "You have your papers?" "Almost." "My wife's getting the papers ready." "She's got a right..." "... of residence." "What will you live on until September?" "Also very wide, looking north." "You can put some plants." "And the living room." "It's got a suite." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Sorry." "Yes, yes." "Hello." "Hello, Javi!" "Honey!" "How are you?" "Fine, fine." "Why didn't you call before?" "I couldn't." "I'm in a remote place" "What did you want?" "Just to discuss the fall of NASDAQ." "You're alright?" "Yes, I'm fine." "You sound strange." "No, not at all." "You sure?" "Yes, must be the phone." "Having a good time?" "Yeah..." "Everything's ok." "I'm so anxious." "What is it?" "You can't talk." "My card's running out." "Call me later then." "We must make arrangements for Tuesday." "Ok." "I'II call you if I can." "I love you!" "Me too." "What are you doing?" "Don't touch." "You got plenty of them." "I'm selling them!" "Don't you touch!" "You, mean!" "What if they ask something at Customs?" "They're for personal use." "Is it forbidden to wear jackets?" "No, no." "Don't worry, an Argentinean never starves in Miami." "Hello." "How are you?" "Come in..." "Oh, fuck." "Here, cuties." "Make yourselves at home." "We're almost done." "I love them." "Hurry up, Luis, huh." "The house is great." "You won't regret it." "Let me see..." "Who do I give the keys to?" "Hello?" "Hey, how are you?" "Fine." "Yes, put you through." "Hello." "Javier, it's me." "Hi, love." "What's up?" "You're at the airport?" "No, just 15 minutes away." "I've been doing a lot of thinking these days  and I'm quite confused." "What?" "Confused?" "Yes, confused." "You were the most confident woman." "What have you thought?" "Things..." "Things..." "Most intimate things." "Explain it to me, I'm starting to piss off." "I'm telling you what I can, don't push me." "Don't talk to me as though you were a covered up witness." "What the fuck is going on?" "You're not ok?" "No." "You're fine?" "No, I'm strange." "Strange?" "Meaning?" "You got a tongue piercing?" "You've dyed your hair violet?" "What are you talking about?" "I don't know." "I feel changes." "Very deep internal changes  that don't have the rational explanation you'd like to hear." "I've been thinking about us." "What?" "Don't get mad, but I don't want you to come." "What?" "Yes, Javi, forgive me." "I'd also like it to be different, but I'm so down that I don't want you to see me this way." "I need you there for me." "I'm doing all I can for us to be better." "For us to be better." "I'm so confused." "So much pressure with the marriage, the trip." "I don't want to talk now, I don't want to tell you." "No, speak." "Speak." "Speak out, Maria!" "I don't know what's with me." "I miss you, but  there are things that we used to love about each other that..." "You're making me go mad." "I don't understand how we went... from last week's "I love you" to "I don't know what's with me."" "I don't know." "Don't you feel we've lost things?" "You used to read to me before going to bed,  we used to take baths together, make love anywhere." "I'II call you tonight." "I'II be calm then." "Forgive me, Javi, it's not easy for me either." "No, no, you don't understand I'm on my way to take  an 800 dollar flight to go live with you to a country where  I don't speak the language!" "You don't understand that?" "!" "I'm not in Miami." "What?" "You're not back from the beach yet?" "You're too good for me  and I'm a bitch." "You don't deserve all this." "What happened?" "What the fuck did you do?" "Please, love, don't come." "Give me some time and  everything's gonna be alright." "But now I can't." "I can't." "What did you do?" "Something I shouldn't have done." "What is it, Maria?" "My aunt didn't come to the beach." "They're not my aunt  and uncle actually." "The kids didn't come either..." "What the fuck did you do?" "!" "We were in the house with Jorge,..." "... a beautiful house..." "No, no..." "... facing the beach." "You must be joking, right?" "I never imagined this could happen to me." "You fucked you dad's friend?" "Did you or didn't you fuck that old son of a bitch?" "I'm a piece of shit." "I don't deserve you, love." "There's not a spot in this house  that doesn't make you return." "Each grain of memory." "Come in." "And the house is  full of sand." "Want something to drink?" "To eat?" "Watch TV, anything." "Put anything you want..." "I kissed your wounds." "You filled me with quietness." "Piece of bread?" "Under your moonlight,  my heart rocked." "The sandglass has stopped..." "Hey, you don't bother at home." "Fix yourself something to eat or ask for some meat pie, huh?" "We'll talk tomorrow." "You take it easy." "Javier, right?" "Come in." "Do you think she'll come back?" "I don't know;" "that's not what matters." "Are you listening to me?" "That's the only thing that matters." "Will she come back or not?" "It's not her absence what makes you feel this down,  but your own inability to handle things." "We cannot tell what she's going to do." "But you have female patients." "You must know how a woman  that age behaves in such a situation." "You must have statistics, there must be a pattern." "Each case is different." "We can't tell what she'll do." "Maybe she doesn't know herself." "The important thing here is what happens to you." "Me?" "Nothing's wrong with me." "I'm fine, I'm great." "What's wrong with her?" "What's with her?" "Let's see." "You don't have to pay any price for company." "For no one's company, good as it may be." "If it's her or death, we're in trouble." "A relationship shouldn't be based on need  but on pleasure, on joy." "For what you have said, I understand that lately,  you were the only stoker of the relationship." "Doesn't that bother you?" "I don't know." "It wasn't that bad." "What I'm saying is,..." "I forgive her, I can do that." "Does she want to be forgiven?" "I don't know." "She says we'd lost passion, and if we got it back..." "That thing about passion is completely senseless." "There's nothing as harmful to a genuine relationship  as passion." "A BBQ is made with embers;" "fire burns it." "The same happens in a couple, it's built day by day." "There are few great days." "There are bad days, fortunately few as well." "And there are average days, which are the great majority." "Ok." "I think your theory is intelligent but  I need to find out  what happened." "Why did she sleep with someone else?" "I wake up in the morning, she's not there  and I feel like going up to the terrace and jump off." "Your life cannot be limited to Maria's presence." "Your life is full of things you must preserve." "She's just a part, an important part." "Don't you have friends?" "Don't you have a job?" "Carlos." "What are you doing here?" "Do you have a minute?" "Yes." "You know what?" "I don't have a way to reach her." "Maybe she's waiting for me to do something and maybe..." "Come, Javier, please." "Coming." "Maybe she wants to know..." "how important she is to me." "My not calling her..." "Javier, please." "Coming... that gets her even more confused." "I don't know." "Doctor." "Yes." "What is it, Javier?" "Nothing..." "Go on then." "Yes." "Javier!" "What are you going to do?" "They presented an indictment?" "She didn't call here?" "No." "How's the guy?" "Did you see this coming?" "No." "No." "Did she reply your e-mail?" "No." "It's a mystery." "I don't know what else to do to have her back." "You have to be true to yourself." "Listen to your heart." "What does it tell you?" ""Don't listen to him." What would you do in my place?" "To me there's only one way." "When she calls,  you tell her how you feel, how you miss her." "No!" "When she calls, he should set limits." "Without pressure, with humor." "Mercilessly putting pressure." "Tender but not sickly sweet." "Tender?" "No!" "Short, uninterested." "What if she needed some air, some space?" "Air?" "She left, now he needs air." "Ok, ok." "It's alright." "How was your sex?" "Before we went to live together  I imagined we'd be fucking all the time." "Now, all I do..." "I mean, all I did was wait till my birthday or our anniversary  which was the sexual milestone." "In these last months, sex was like  Colonia." "It's quite near, but you never go there." "What do you really think?" "Everything's gonna be alright." "Give her some time." "She'll come back." "I don't think so, I don't think so." "I don't know if you notice, but I'm not ok." "I'm crazy." "I can wish her mother to die or her having a flight accident,  her being paralyzed, blind." "Anything that would make her come back to me." "And if I get her pregnant?" "Dr. Novoa, how are you?" "This is Javier, Maria Cervi's husband." "Sorry I came without notice;" "I don't have your phone number." "I used to come here to fetch Maria." "I want to make an appointment." "She left to see how things were in Miami." "Now she's confused." "I think she's seeing another man." "I actually know she's living  at a friend of her father's." "I want to help her." "You tell me ... what time and I'II show up." "We did everything in a rush..." "Maybe it was too much for her." "She really loves me." "That's what she says." "What do you say?" "The lady is at her weekend house." "And?" "1 4.9." "Same as usual." "Yeah, not bad." "That's why I didn't want to bother you." "I've been having it checked at the pharmacy." "Why?" "We said I was going to check it every 3 days, right?" "But we wrote everything down." "This is no joke." "This is your blood pressure." "And if that device isn't working alright?" "I'm so grateful to you for taking care of me,  but with this thing with Maria, we didn't want to mix things up." "Our personal and professional relationships are..." "... two different things." "You're so kind." "You don't deserve all this." "We don't understand what's going on either." "That's why we called her yesterday." "Where did you call?" "No, no." "She called us." "Did she leave her number?" "I'd like to know how she is." "Estela's got it." "She called, I didn't." "You said you wanted to call her." "That's a figure of speech." "I wanted to talk to her and she called me." "But she didn't tell me where she is either." "We're grown-ups." "She's at the beach with that friend of yours." "What?" "They're at the beach?" "I think so." "With Graciela, the kids..." "No, no, the kids are not there." "Graciela is not there either..." "What?" "That's the strange thing." "She went alone with Jorge?" "Looks like it." "Well, she said she was going to go for some days." "I'm gonna kill that SOB!" "You should." "Calm down, Horacio." "You knew about it?" "Yes, but..." "You knew about it?" "He's nuts, that asshole!" "Give me the phone." "I don't have it here." "Where is it?" "It's not in my directory." "I don't have it." "Where did you put it?" "I'm gonna kill that bastard!" "Give it to me!" "What will you fix..." "... on the phone?" "Calm down, please!" "I won't calm down!" "What happened?" "Holy shit!" "Luis, I can't hear you." "Can you call me?" "Hello." "Yes, I was telling you I went to see Maria's folks." "Do you know anything else?" "Yes, but I had some trouble." "I'm okay." "What are you doing today?" "We can't." "We're going to my parents in law's." "But we thought maybe next week we can go out to dinner  with Laura and a coworker." "Excuse me, this is the queue for all the movies?" "I think so, yes." "Didn't you play basket at BA Gym?" "No, never." "One, one." "Only one?" "Yes, only one." "What with your surprise?" "You never sold one single ticket to one single person?" "If you'd asked "one" because you didn't hear me,... that's one thing." "But 'only one'." "That "only" wasn't necessary." "The 'only' is a way of asking me if I have nobody to come with." "I do come alone 'cause I can take it and I can go on my own... everywhere." "I don't need to fill a space with anybody or anything." "I come on my own and I can take it." "Only one?" "Yes." "Hello?" "Hello, Javi, it's me." "Hang up." "I've answered!" "Private caller." "How are you?" "Fine." "Great." "Never been better." "Why do you ask?" "I'm calling you for us to talk." "Look." "Truth is..." "I had a million plans for this moment,  but what I feel like saying right now is..." "I miss you because I love you." "I never thought I could love somebody this much." "Are you listening?" "Are you there?" "Yes." "Yes, thank you." "I'm also calling you to apologize  for the other day." "It wasn't the best way." "I also love you a lot." "That's it..." "Come back, love." "It's ok." "I'II forgive you." "Everything's gonna be alright." "Javier, I'm not going back." "I'm fine here." "I believed you when you said you wanted to marry me." "I was convinced then but..." "I came across something I can't let go." "It's hard to explain because it's very private,  but it's a warning light that turns on." "And when it does, you can't turn it off." "Understand?" "Yes, I do understand." "I never saw that light though." "I could shove my pride up my ass and start all over again." "I don't understand how everything changed this fast." "Couldn't you tell I wasn't satisfied, I needed a change?" "I was down, Javier." "I was down." "I needed something that made me feel good." "Have you found it?" "I guess so." "You bitch." "I would have also liked it to be different." "But I couldn't do it." "I'm going to have my stuff fetched." "What a jerk!" "How could I not notice?" "It was so obvious you were going to leave me." "You'd started ... with that boob job thing, the gym, go on a diet." "All for that dirty old man." "Stop, Javier." "Jorge had nothing to do with this." "Why don't you think about what made us drift apart?" "A dick drifted us apart." "Stop, please." "I really value what we had." "I was really in love with you." "So please let's do this the least painful we can." "I'm coming." "Come on, we've been trying to leave for 2 hours." "Hello." "Hello." "I know she's not coming back." "But I don't give up, I'm gonna fight." "I'd rather wait for her than accept a new disappointment..." "...in love at my age." "You should think about something else." "Another woman, you know." "If she comes back, ok." "You should take care of your pride at least." "Yes, maybe." "You have your pride when you have something to lose." "When you don't, there's no pride at all." "Right?" "What do you think?" "You can't believe there'll be no other woman." "The same happened to you at 15, 20, 27." "And it'll happen again." "Why don't you start enjoying this a bit, huh?" "There are lots of women." "Maria wasn't anything extraordinary." "She wasn't the best, but she was the one  who went to bed and woke up every day with me." "I can't expect more than that." "I thought that was it." "What a bitch!" "How can she leave me a week after we got married?" "If you asked me if I'd go back to her, it'd be difficult." "Unless she asked me to." "But it's hard." "She wasn't quite demonstrative plus the mistake she made,  she couldn't say "I love you", "thank you" or "watch the car"." "Now, if you ask me if I miss her... a lot." "What are you doing tonight?" "I'II cut my balls but maybe I'II leave it for tomorrow." "When you're alone, you can do everything when you feel like it." "Why don't you come to my sister-in-law's birthday?" "You should go out and get laid." "You can meet lots of people  fucking." "You'll meet single women, married women." "I'm sorry I'm here on a Sunday but I needed to talk to you." "What we know for sure is she's not coming back for  the time being." "So let's see the things you still have." "I have nothing, that's why I'm here." "If I could be with her, I'd be with her watching TV at home,  resting." "It'd be cheaper." "I don't know what to do, what would you do in my place?" "I wouldn't limit my world to Maria." "I try but I can't." "This anguish doesn't let me think about anything else." "It's like a slide that appears in my mind anytime and anywhere." "I only want to be with Maria." "And the mere thought of  not seeing her again..." "Have you ever been through something like this?" "That's not important right now." "The woman at the door was your wife?" "Yes." "It's easy to talk when you have a job, when you get home  and your wife is waiting for you, when you have  someone to do whatever you like with." "Let's see, Javier." "There must be some reason for you not to kill yourself." "Today I feel your absence so deep  that in me  rain has turned into heaven's tears." "The sun shows the lack of you." "I miss the eyes with which we looked at each other." "And your crazy laughter echoes in me  like the songs without which life  turns monotonous and gray." "Hours are long." "Today I feel your absence." "The world's empty when you're not here." "I miss the kisses we've given each other." "I'm starting to miss those we didn't give." "Julita, don't give these tickets to anyone." "Please, to anyone." "Sure." "Hello there." "How are you?" "What are you looking for?" "I was thinking of buying a puppy." "Yes, this way." "There." "Show him." "A puppy then." "Yes, yes." "A puppy." "A rooster, a cat..." "Yes, like this one?" "No, that one's too big." "Something more..." "Hens, canaries..." "Look, here we got one." "You'll like this one." "A Pekinese, no!" "One bit me when I was a kid." "Something more harmonious,  normal." "One that won't scare me." "Give me a minute." "Ok, ok." "Sorry..." "That guy needs a puppy and I don't..." "Gosh!" "Let's see." "Put this on." "You want a dog?" "Yes." "What breed?" "I don't know much about dogs,  a good nice one that won't grow big." "I don't have much room." "Have you had dogs before?" "Long ago, yes." "Purpose?" "Fun." "Give it to me, son." "No, dad." "Give it to me!" "Here." "Male or female?" "Male." "Good." "This is your mate." "Here he is." "Look how nice." "Isn't he ugly?" "Ugly this dog?" "They're being bought from Australia, Germany." "It's selling a lot." "But if you don't want it..." "No, no." "It's nice." "This one?" "Yes!" "It won't grow big, will it?" "A pocket dog." "So much adding and running going nowhere." "I want to stay with you and feel we are one." "It's a male." "I want to be one with your smile." "Fix your breakfast." "You won't find another love like mine for you." "You linger looking for that one moment  to ask you for one of those kisses." "That's love: two hearts drinking from the same glass." "So much smoking and running going nowhere." "I want to stay with you, feel we're one." "I want to stay with you, feel we're one." "Hey, how are you?" "Fine, and you?" "What did you do?" "Why?" "Don't play stupid." "What?" "What did you do, you jerk?" "So embarrassing." "No, no!" "You could have suntanned at the beach." "We're in winter." "Skiing maybe." "Yes, maybe skiing." "No, no, this is so embarrassing." "No, no!" "I don't get how you actually did this." "I looked so pale." "I was at a mall..." "It's stupid." "What will you do, Nikki Lauda?" "We're going out for dinner." "I don't think anything will happen today." "Easy, you're out of shape." "Take your time to go back to dating." "But the other day, you wouldn't stop talking about Maria,..." "... to that poor chick..." "No, no." "Thank you." "This one, honey." "Do you like it?" "Yes, it's ok." "Add it to the list." "Let's say an hour." "I'm in a hurry." "Bye." "Javier?" "Gaby?" "Yes." "Hi!" "How are you?" "Fine." "I'm sorry I took so long." "I just got here." "How are you?" "Fine." "So long!" "You look great!" "Thank you." "Brought your silvery jeans?" "I got them in my bag." "You look great." "Where're you going afterwards?" "I don't know." "I've been looking for you." "Nobody has your number." "Me?" "You may find it stupid, but I have such good memories  of us two." "We used to have such a great time." "Yeah, we did." "We were into anything, though." "You!" "Do you see Mesera?" "No." "I ran into him last year at the hospital." "It'd been 10 years..." "since I last saw him, since we graduated from school. -15, then." "Okay, 15." "He was a gentlemen." "So serious, so respectful." "As though he'd forgotten what he'd once been, that jerk." "Those things happen." "It's been so long." "You look just the same." "More experienced." "You haven't turned into a grown-up lady." "That's flattering!" "Thank you anyway." "I think I haven't changed either, have I?" "Not one bit." "What I miss is that spare time we had then." "What?" "You're working a lot?" "I have a lot of projects." "But I try to take it easy so as to have spare time for myself." "Always in Medicine?" "Another coffee?" "No, I'm fine." "Remember I used to walk you home every day after school?" "True, I'd forgotten." "Until "your light turned on"." "What?" "A joke." "Oh." "Do you remember this?" "Let's go somewhere else." "What's wrong with you?" "You're way out of line!" "Honey, I've changed." "I still like you." "Let's try again." "Stop!" "Gaby, please, let's try again, please." "Don't touch me." "Hi, honey." "How are you?" "Hi." "Alejandro." "How are you?" "How are you?" "You're coming, right?" "Where?" "Haven't you given him the invitation?" "No, I forgot." "Here." "We're getting married." "Congratulations." "I'll be there." "It'll change your life." ""It's not love that binds us together... but fright. "" "When Borges says such a thing..." "I don't give a damn." "I'm doomed to failure." "And that didn't happen to me before." "I can't take it anymore." "I can't go on." "Since I lost her..." ""You lost her"." "I lost her alright." "I need a formula, a pill,  meditation, a witch." "Whatever." "Some reason not to stay in bed for the rest of my life." "I can't take it." "I'm gonna go mad if I don't get her image out of my mind." "I no longer know anybody." "I can do nothing." "I'll ruin the little I got left..." "Enough, enough of all this." "The impunity of the abandoned is over." "There are no magic solutions." "They don't exist." "What you have to consider is your need to get involved  in situations that were chronicles of positive failure!" "You don't fall in love with a woman,  you fall in love with a situation." "It's useless to live trapped in a memory." "What's a memory?" "Something you have or something you've lost." "Love and obsession are two different things." "But sometimes they manage to get us confused." "Stop breaking my balls with..." "..." "Maria." "Maria." "No, no, no." "And fuck that other bitch." "Ok, ok." "So?" "Weren't you about to operate without anesthesia?" "Yes, but this is different." "Maybe his wife left him." "But he's a psychologist." "And you're a surgeon." "I called you." "I wanted to see you, I haven't been fine." "I've been busy with this." "I'm not lucky to live with mom and dad." "Fuck you." "Couldn't you call me?" "Don't break my balls." "Sorry." "Yes." "Look at it." "Do you like it?" "Great." "See?" "It's great, great." "Get a job." "You look like a housewife with spare time." "I hope you never go through what I'm going through." "Cut that crap." "It's 6 months since Maria left." "It's over." "I'm over her but I'm in deep shit anyway." "Sure, you think life's a party you haven't been invited to." "It's impossible to see you." "I'm going through a lot." "Ok, go on, tell me." "We can go have something to drink when you're done." "No, I work late, man." "Then let's meet at your place." "No, I'll be exhausted then." "See?" "You never can." "I got a girl and a wife I don't see during the day, you jerk." "You want to play video games at my folks'?" "Don't be stupid." "What's your complaint then?" "You've changed." "You used to care about people." "I can't believe how naive you are." "You call it naiveté, I call it friendship." "I can do nothing to change your life." "You'll be alone even if you are back with Maria,  even if we go dancing every Saturday." "Adolescence's over,..." "... not friendship." "I don't think what you say is right." "That's the way it is!" "One should find the answers within oneself." "Nobody'll take your pain away." "You must find the way to get  rid of it?" "Why don't you stop trying to be someone  to feel sorry for?" "Maybe then you can go on, little by little." "Where did you keep that shit?" "Things are not how they told us when kids." "This is the way it is!" "Go fuck yourself!" "Hi, mom." "We'd agreed on a little dog you'd take out and feed, right?" "You're right." "I'm sorry." "No, I understand what you're going through." "Your dad and I  are glad to have you here, but not with the dog." "Is that clear?" "What am I going to do?" "I can't give it back." "Do you love this animal?" "Why don't we do the same as we did with Cacique?" "Whose farm would we send it to?" "No!" "Hi." "How are you?" "How are you?" "Fine." "I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's a shame." "I asked for a small dog and look what I got." "An untamable beast I can't take care of." "That's impossible." "Are you sure?" "You told me it won't..." "... grow much, right?" "The truth is I don't know." "But... was it or wasn't it small?" "Small for good!" "This is not what I asked for." "We couldn't have told you that." "There must be a mistake." "I don't know what you said." "I clearly asked for... a small dog!" "I'll give you the dog and you'll refund my money." "That's impossible." "The doctor's not here." "He does these things." "I'm sorry." "We can't do that." "Ok, I leave the dog." "I don't care about the money." "No, please, please." "Don't leave it here!" "Let's do something." "I'II see him for free plus 10% discount on..." "I don't care..." "Please, please!" "Don't leave it here, please." "What am I going to do with it?" "It causes me lots of troubles." "To me too." "I can't have it home." "I need this job." "Please, come some other time." "Hey, what are you doing all by yourself?" "Come here, you nuts." "What are you doing?" "Leave it." "Say hello." "Hello!" "No, come here." "How are you, cutie?" "No!" "Hi, is it yours?" "Sorry." "Newton, come here." "Are you nuts?" "Let go." "Come here!" "I'm sorry." "No, you forgive me." "I'm so embarrassed." "Come here!" "Newton?" "No, an ex I had, you know." "He was a physicist." "It's left under your custody." "Yes, in a way." "Hey!" "It's nice, huh." "Yes, it is." "Yes, yes, very nice." "Ok, ok." "Stop or mom will get angry!" "I'm so sorry." "No, I'm really sorry." "No, Newton, come here." "Leave him." "Keep still." "There you go." "Shall we take a seat?" "Better." "They're terrible, huh." "Yeah." "How old is him?" "About a year." "My baby's four." "Four..." "Stop, Newton." "I'm so embarrassed." "Forgive me." "It's ok." "Stop!" "Mom will get angry." "Come here." "Wait." "What?" "I want to look at you." "Did you like it?" "What?" "I mean, did you like this?" "What just happened..." "Making love." "Yes, I did." "Had a good time?" "Yes, that's why I did it." "You're not very demonstrative?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "It depends." "Let's talk about it." "You feel comfortable with me?" "You want to know if I came?" "No, well, yes..." "I feel there's something between us." "You were on top of me, right?" "Yes, I came." "Me too." "Yes, I could tell." "Did you imagine this when we met at the park?" "I love your house." "Thank you." "How long have you been here?" "Long." "You live on your own?" "No, with Newton." "Have you shared this place?" "I mean, some boyfriend,..." "... some ghost?" "Yes." "How many?" "A couple." "Someone important?" "Yes." "And..." "Are you in love with someone?" "I want to go to bed early." "Me too." "On my own." "You sure?" "Yes." "I really like you." "Come on, Pupi." "Sorry..." "Sorry." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "Hello, Lola, this is Javier." "I had a great time last night, cutie." "Call me when you can at 4304-382..." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "Javier again." "Sorry to bother you once more." "Your machine hanged up on me before I left my number." "As I was saying, my number is 4304-382..." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "304-3829, that's my number." "Sorry I left so many messages." "I'd love us to go somewhere over the weekend." "Starting with 4, huh, 4304-3829." "Call me so we go out." "Bye." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "Lola, Javier." "I don't know if I told you, I just ended a long relationship." "Maybe that explains why I'm acting so weird." "It's got to do with me, not with you..." "Call me." "Javier..." "Minci." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "Hi, Lola, Javier again." "Could you call me  when you get there?" "I'II be here a while longer." "I'd love to talk in person and not to your machine." "It's Lola." "Leave us a message." "Hi, Lola." "This..." "This is not working." "It must be me." "You're the first woman after long months." "Javier?" "Hi, Lola!" "How...?" "You were there or just got home?" "Don't ever call me again." "A hard world, an intense life." "Temporary happiness, uncertain future." "Fire and water, calm concert, wind's sonata." "In our small life, in our big heart." "Why would I believe  in love?" "If it doesn't understand me the way I am." "Why would I believe  in love?" "If it betrays and abandons me in my best moment." "We know it well." "Between you and me." "Though it may seem so, you're not to blame." "Love's to blame." "You don't want any other pet?" "No, thanks." "Come to daddy." "Come." "It's alright." "It's alright?" "Yes, leave her." "Ok." "You know she's pregnant?" "Really?" "What do you mean?" "It's a he!" "We made a mistake." "Sir, you're crazy." "Do you realize?" "You're crazy!" "It's alright." "Do you realize...?" "What do you mean "alright"?" "I didn't want any puppies." "That's why I asked for a male!" "It's ok, don't worry." "How would I not?" "This is fraud." "I wanted a "he"." "Just fancy me and the puppies at my folks'!" "You live with your folks?" "One question." "Do you know which dog got it pregnant?" "I don't care." "I'm not interested." "Give me back my money." "Ok." "Julita, come." "Here, love." "I'm outraged." "This is a lack of respect." "I really don't understand." "Tell me one thing." "It'd be good to know..." "I don't know." "A dog just like him, like her." "Yes, sorry, like her." "Same dog, same size, exactly the same." "Great news." "Congratulations." "These puppies will sell very well." "Here." "How much does a puppy cost?" "600, right?" "650." "Approximately." "How many does she have inside?" "Hello?" "Hello, yes, pet shop?" "Yes." "Can I talk to the veterinarian, please?" "He's not in." "Who's calling?" "I'm Javier." "Pupi's owner." "She's had them?" "No, that's why I'm calling." "I think she's moving quite strangely." "She'll give birth anytime now." "How nice." "Bring her on Monday." "No, no..." "I'm calling for you to give me a hand." "I have free assistance 24 hours a day." "Yes, but my employees are all busy right now." "Let's do this." "You don't worry." "She'll do everything on her own, alright?" "Ok, ok." "Hello?" "Hello, pet shop." "Good evening." "This is Javier, the free assistance guy." "Everything went out fine until now." "She's had 2 or 3 but she's been 30 minutes with the next." "She seems to be suffering." "I need your help right now." "This way." "Pupi, right?" "Yes." "Hello, Pupi, sweetheart." "Got gloves?" "Yes." "Pupi, she's so nice." "Well..." "Thank you so much." "No..." "Bye." "Good morning." "How are you?" "I'm Javier..." "Minci." "How are you?" "Fine, and you?" "Everything ok." "You have no idea who I am, right?" "No." "A colleague told me they're looking..." "From university?" "No, long before that." "You knew me shorter and 20 kg overweight. "Balloon" Villar." ""Balloon" Villar?" "!" "Amazing!" "Yes!" "I can't believe it!" "You look great, Villar!" "Thank you." "You can call me Romina." "Romina, sure." "I didn't remember your name." "You never knew it." "My memory sucks." "You really surprise me." "Was I so terrible then?" "What I meant was..." "Don't worry, people change." "Generally you improve with age." "You haven't changed a bit." "Let's work." "You came for the position at the operating room." "Yes, I've been part of Paez' team for seven years, Rivadavia..." "..." "Hospital." "Cardiology." "So you're not into plastic surgery." "I mean, I guess you've studied for something better than  doing boob jobs and add cheeks." "Well, you know how things are." "I had some differences with the boss and the administrator." "What kind of difference?" "Different criteria about a case." "A case in which your boss wanted to anesthetize a patient  and you decided it was a waste of time?" "Yes, it had to do with time." "They took your register away?" "No, the hospital covered me." "The patient sued you?" "No, fortunately not." "I was going through a hard time, I made a mistake  but they told a different story." "Those situations are hard." "The truth is I don't know how I treated you at school." "I guess that pretty bad." "But please, if you could help me..." "I don't have trouble with time." "I'm interested in the job  and I won't let you down." "Hi." "Hi, how are you?" "Fine..." "Fine." "Alright?" "Fine." "I'm glad." "The puppies?" "Gorgeous." "Food for dogs, for puppies?" "Yes!" "This one's good." "I think they breastfeed at first, though." "We should ask Etchepare." "Sure!" "They're always..." "Yes." "Of course." "Ok..." "We were closing." "Ok, ok." "I'm..." "Nothing then?" "Sorry?" "Sorry?" "Nothing then?" "No, nothing!" "And the vaccines?" "Shouldn't we vaccinate them?" "We should ask Etchepare." "Sure, we should ask Etchepare." "I'm..." "If I asked you out, would you have to ask Etchepare?" "How are you?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't have anybody to babysit Tomas." "My cousin didn't show up, I've been waiting until now." "Didn't have your number." "We'll leave it for some other time." "No." "It's ok." "It's fine." "Did you eat?" "No!" "No." "Sit down then." "Can I have this chair?" "Thank you." "Sure?" "Have a seat." "Please do." "He sleeps there?" "Yes, he does." "Are you separated from your husband?" "No, Ruben is coming for me in half an hour." "What time is it?" "You're not a vet, right?" "No." "Then why do you work there?" "It's a job." "I stay there, I run the store, I sell stuff, it's not bad." "What did you do before?" "All kind of things." "I sold time-sharing, I was a secretary, I was air hostess,  marketing manager at a company that went bankrupt." "You didn't study?" "Yes!" "35 subjects..." "... of 8 different careers." "Indecisive." "Until I got pregnant." "Then everything cleared up." "You?" "Tell me about you." "My life is as predictable as you can imagine." "School, university, hospital." "Never a risk, never uncertainty." "At which hospital do you work now?" "No, I'm not at a hospital now." "I had some..." "Some trouble." "And better not talk about them." "Next time." "Will there be a next time?" "You think there won't?" "Sorry, I didn't hear." "Have you been here long?" "No, no." "Good." "Sorry." "Come in." "How are you?" "Fine, fine." "Good." "Everything ok?" "Yes." "You?" "Fine." "I'm glad." "I like your place, huh." "You like it?" "Yes, yes." "Well, thanks." "Yes." "It's cozy." "In summer." "You don't want to be here in winter." "So cold." "Have you tried draft excluders?" "They're useless." "During the day?" "At the pet's shop." "No, I mean, is it bright?" "Not much." "Your son?" "He's at his father's." "A weekend each." "You two get along?" "Yes, normal." "Do you have another couple?" "No, there are such queer people out there." "Of course not everybody." "You?" "No... no." "I know that if I get this job at the clinic, it won't be forever, ... but at least I'II work as a doctor." "I was about to drop everything, and this is better than checkups ...at clubs or hair transplants." "You look good." "You look happy." "I am!" "It won't add to my resume but I'm interested in the job." "I rented an apartment." "Really?" "Actually it's a roofed terrace." "But I like it." "Good!" "I'd like you to come by." "Ok." "I have no dessert." "Sorry?" "There's nothing sweet to eat." "I'm sorry, you're right." "I brought nothing for dessert." "No, I didn't mean that." "I'm going to the drugstore..." "No, stay, I didn't mean that." "Really?" "Ok." "You fix some coffee." "I'II go get something." "Wait." "Take the key so..." "Ok." "You don't have to..." "Here." "Ok, what shall I get?" "A chocolate bar with almonds." "lf they don't have any?" "A 38 caliber." "Ok." "Bye." "Who is it?" "Javier." "Thanks." "Coffee is ready." "Great." "Ok." "Have you gotten over the time when tango lyrics are for you?" "I think so, yes." "You had a hard time, huh?" "Yeah, but I'd rather not talk about it." "Why?" "Tell me." "If you don't, how can we be friends?" "Maybe some other time." "It's not something I like to talk about." "I give good pieces of advice." "I have many male friends." "I have a friend with whom I go to the movies now and then." "He broke up with his wife." "He was desperate." "I told him a couple of things and they're back together again." "Don't you want to make up with that girl?" "I don't want to talk about that with you." "Why?" "Maybe because it's getting late." "It's 2 am." "Some other time." "I get up early tomorrow." "Ok." "How much for the chocolates?" "Please, touch them so you get used to them." "This is textured." "This is smooth." "They're aesthetically impeccable." "I'd recommend the textured one." "It's less liable to encapsulate, especially the American one." "Tuti!" "Tuti!" "Tuti!" "This music is so good." "Here, honey!" "Hi, how are you?" "Come in." "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine." "How are you?" "Great." "Come in." "Something to drink?" "Not yet." "Want me to introduce you to everybody?" "Not everybody." "This is Gaby, a colleague, a friend." "And this way..." "Come, come, come." "My friends, Luis, Julia..." "How are you?" "Julia, Laura." "They are..." "Friends." "Something to drink?" "No." "Something to eat?" "No." "Sure?" "No, thanks." "Make yourself comfortable." "Ok." "Thank you." "They're all doctors." "Guys, Julia." "I'II do it by department." "Obstetrics, Gynecology." "Proctology." "Come, come." "Something wrong?" "No, I wanted to talk to you about what we discussed  the other day at your place." "What?" "Friendship." "You said..." "I mean..." "Friendship." "I felt like you..." "... stopped me last weekend." "Yes." "Was that so?" "Yes." "Well... nothing." "Good." "That's okay." "But I feel, I mean I don't feel like..." "Not that I don't feel like..." "If I go to the movies with you, I want to..." "Let's see..." "Who is it?" "What are you doing?" "Here." "Hello." "Mom." "Maria." "Oh my God!" "How's dad?" "Thank you." "Please." "How's dad?" "He's stable." "A bit scared." "That's logical." "What, Lavat, the cardiologist?" "Yes, he's with me." "How long will it take?" "Is it a surgery?" "Yes." "Doctors talked to me but I didn't understand a thing." "What did they say?" "Easy." "I'II go ask." "I'II be right back." "Ok." "Where's the rest?" "Are you alone?" "They went to have a drink." "How was it?" "What happened?" "I didn't mean to hurt you." "I know." "And Jorge, will he come?" "No..." "We're breaking up." "No..." "Have you told him?" "Here." "When did you write this?" "About two months ago." "What a surprise." "The longest you'd written to me was the shopping list." "I was really rude to you." "I was so selfish." "It's over." "I was my worst enemy." "Besides, it's not time to talk about that." "Javier, can you go ask how longer will it take?" "I've just done so, Estela." "Go, come on." "Please, Javier." "Ok." "What is it, Javier?" "Have you ever felt  how it feels like  to have your heart broken?" "Have you ever felt pending situations coming back?" "Don't leave." "I'II come for you early tomorrow." "I have to run some errands." "No, please." "Please stay." "I can't spend the night alone." "Please, stay here." "Tell me something." "What do you want me to tell you?" "Anything." "I can't think of anything." "The fish?" "Luis and Laura?" "Fine." "But I don't see them that much." "It's unbelievable." "You're here by my side and it feels not one hour has passed  since I last saw you." "I love you a lot." "Me too." "If you can understand what happens to me tonight." "She won't come back and the pain starts growing  inside." "The coin fell on the side of loneliness." "Again, on the side of Loneliness." "What I don't understand is why not?" "Because we'll get confused." "I can be with you all the time you want but in a different way." "I'm not confused, Javier." "It may look like that, but I can see clearly now." "One thing is my father's death and other is what I feel for you." "I'm not confused and I don't get why you..." "What is it?" "Revenge?" "Not anymore." "What I think is  we used to look into our eyes and feel we were one." "I must admit though that deep inside I thought  I could change some things." "Nothing more childish." "I don't know what happened or how." "But thank God, or whatever it was,  anguish turned to pain." "And with a huge effort I could turn pain into sadness." "And then, after many months,  I could wake up one day without feeling I missed you." "And everything was ok." "What we lived together won't happen again." "I love you." "And I'd give anything to ease your pain." "But today  I'm not with you  that way." "I'm already half way this road." "So many crossroads behind." "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME" "The coin's spinning in the air." "And whatever will be, will be." "Hi." "Hi." "Here." "How are you?" "Fine." "Fine?" "Working?" "Yes, how are you?" "Fine." "Yes?" "Yes." "You're sad?" "No." "Something happened?" "Nothing that might change what's going on between us." "Whatever will be, will be." "Whatever will be, will be." "There must be a reason for what's not meant to be." "I don't believe in the eternity of fights  or recipes for happiness." "When my springs come for what's theirs  and luck's at rest,  I'II look at your picture in my wallet." "And whatever will be, will be." "Those who want to, can believe." "Those who don't, surely have a reason why." "I'II free my song out in the winds." "And whoever wants to listen to it may do so." "My coin is spinning in the air." "And whatever will be, will be." "And whatever will be, will be."
