"We get to see the lead actress in the buff." "Switch off the cell phone." "You always forget." "I'm fucking stoned, man." "Could you shut up?" "The film's starting." "One, two, three, yeah..." "FREAKY FISH" "Come on!" "Get the hell outta here!" "We're closed." "Please." "Where to now?" "Let's hit the road!" "Got any uppers?" "No." "Got no mom to nag you?" "That goes for everybody!" "Finish off, now!" "Everybody out!" "Sleepy guy, too." "And you." "Catch ya later." "Come on, let's go." "Please, let's go." "Everybody knows we're going." "OK?" "Cool, man." "Just let me through." "Thanks." "Here." "Here's to us then, guys!" "Last one over at Downs?" "Not me." "I got my taxi shift now." "I'm out of speed." "See you later, then." "Shit!" "You kept me out again." "Juan Carlitos, nobody forced you." "Worry makes your hair fall out." "Enough's enough." "Two weeks solid boozing and no apartment." "It's bugging me too, you know?" "Great fun!" "Getting the bus to crash over at Peke's, the middle of nowhere." "Your aunt's is downtown." "No fucking house to go to?" "All right!" "That jaw would almost poke someone's eye out." "Get the fuck outta here!" "Fucksakes!" "Hey, it's day already." "Crash on the sofa, man." "But my aunt gets back at one." "Yes!" "Don't eat that." "Why?" "For someone special is it?" "Yeah, for the cats." "You're such a bozo!" "This is great wine." "You get spoiled." "Morning!" "Shouldn't you have gone by now?" "Mass is at 9." "It's Saint Jonas day." ""Never rise before ten on Saint Jonas day."" "Jonas has got a nerve." "Gotta find an apartment." "We were just having a snack, but we're off now." "Don't know whyyou're so eager to go." "I told you you could stay as long as you want." "Anyhow, now you know finding an apartment isn't easy." "There are too many people in this city." "No, a lot won't rent their houses." "Your apartment's empty." "Oh, Juan Carlos!" "I told you before that the apartment is for my son." "God willing, when I go to the otherworld, this will be yours." "You are my Godson!" "Don't start!" "He'll stay in Africa." "Don't say that!" "He'll get over all that about taking care of blacks." "Well..." "Juan Carlos and I gotta be going." "Yeah, bye Auntie." "You had wine with your breakfast?" "I was up very early." "What does your cousin do in Africa?" "He went as avolunteer with an NGO two years ago." "But he met a spunky black lady, and they set up a beach bar." "And she expects him back!" "Is it a big house?" "When I was little, they rented it to a Mormon familywith lots of kids." "A big apartment in the center and it's empty!" "Empty and abandoned." "It reminds her of my cousin, so she doesn't go." "Know what a squatter is?" "What?" "Are you crazy?" "Just skip the bullshit." "Ifwe occupy it, we're doing nothing wrong." "And we'd save a bunch." "Saving?" "You've got balls!" "But she won't know a thing." "Look, let's get the keys, make copies and bring them back." "But what about the neighbors?" "They'll just think that we've rented the house." "And if she finds out, what can she do?" "Send you to jail?" "Fuck, what a crazy idea!" "But we'd have to leave it" "as we found it." "Man, you bet!" "And if there's extra space, we could get extra cash" "renting it out." "No way." "Only us two then, OK?" "So...?" "Let's go get the keys?" "Wait, you're going too fast." "Come on, let's go!" "Ifyou want to send a free letter, this is what you do:" "Put his name on the back and yours on the front, stick it in a post box without a stamp." "The Post Office will return it to the sender." "So your pal gets the letter free, no prob." "But it onlyworks if it's in the same city." "Man, of course." "After that college band!" "Are you sure it's this door?" "Yeah." "Stuck!" "Hasn't been opened in ages." "Like your aunt's pussy." "Cool!" "That's it!" "You kids." "Who are you?" "Morning, we're your new neighbors." "I'm Etelvino Garcia, President of the Community." "Well, I have to say," "I'm glad it's been rented." "An empty apartment is like gold for squatters and hippies." "But I thought it was for one of Eugenia's family." "Yeah, that's true." "You see, this is her son." "Hello." "I'll be damned!" "Sorry, I remembered you with more hair." "Were you in Africa?" "Yes, last week he got back from..." "From Wakanda." "Jesus, Wakanda!" "So what's the situation there these days?" "What situation?" "I mean how the different tribes are getting along," "like the legendary Yakundi." "The Wakanda decolonization was a complete mess." "Well, like all these damned things;" "one day things just explode." "Etelvino, where's your table manners?" "We are still at the damn table!" "The wife." "Well, boys, we'll chat another day." "And welcome!" "Thanks." "Bye." "Bye." "Fucking hurry up." "That's it." "That's it?" "That bit of plastic stops the meter?" "It's what it says here." "So we trust a fanzine?" "Who else?" "What a cool place!" "Strange we ended up together." "You were a dickhead at Uni." "When do you start classes?" "Monday." "The toilet tank's busted." "I'll call the plumber." "Do you really have to study for those sorry state exams?" "And do you have to enroll in the "New Image Study Center?"" "I don't have to." "My old man insisted on it." "I plan to skip all of it." "That way I'll have time for mywriting." "So you're going to some writing class?" "You joking?" "And get lectures from some frustrated writer?" "He who can, does." "He who can't teaches." "The sofa can go here." "And... the video and TV there." "I was gonna put them in my room." "Piss off!" "Do I have steal one orwhat?" "Typical only child." "It was connected yesterday." "Your mom got the number?" "Not necessary." "She can reach me on the cell phone." "Hello?" "Yes, that's right." "But listen, right now I can't talk." "Your name?" "Edorta." "And could you call later?" "Yeah." "Okay, thanks." "Who was it?" "Nobody, wrong number." "Wrong number?" "Why ask him to call later?" "Hello?" "Yes, mom." "Who else would it be?" "Fucking great here." "It's got sirloin on the cheap menu." "Jesus!" "Poor fish!" "How's the moving going?" "Pretty good." "Hey, you'll have to wait." "But ifyou stare out those with the coffee, they might go." "Couple of beers while you're waiting?" "Make them pitchers." "They're on him." "What?" "A bit of thanks for cool organization, huh?" "Nobody suspects anything yet." "The bore next door even gave me letter box keys." "Two guys in that place is suspicious." "Be better to share." "You think?" "Jesus, but it'd have to be someone trustworthy." "Short-stay people." "Students." "Think of the cash we'd get ifwe rented three rooms." "What about damage?" "What gets broken, gets fixed, jinx." "We'll have the dough." "It'll look like the fairies have been." "I don't know." "Just so you feel relaxed, we'll share out the cash at the end." "You keep it ifyou want." "Of course I will." "How do we find people?" "Don't worry." "A load of people answered my ad." "Bastard!" "Right, guys," "I can start taking your order." "Sirloin steak!" "The sirloin's gone like hot cakes." "But we've got hake." "So much for sirloin!" "These guys that are into sabotage really get me." "I sent off for a fanzine and theywrote telling me to replywith the same stamp." "The guy had used sticky tape." "So I only had to peel it off, rub out the postmark with alcohol, and then glue the stamp on." "Fucking jokers!" "That's twenty pesetas for half an hour's work." "And they talk about fruit pickers getting exploited!" "Hey!" "Where the fuck are you going?" "Here, the round one is the street door." "Where's Edorta?" "In his room." "Edorta?" "Edorta?" "Here's the keys you asked for." "The main street door." "Why colored ones?" "Sorry, I didn't realize." "Well, these weigh less." "Because they're crap!" "Hey, the other rooms are bigger and" "as you were first..." "I like small rooms." "Here's the living room." "I'm Juan Carlos." "James." "Plays in a great group." "The name was...?" "Are the gigs well paid?" "No." "You usuallyjust get free booze." "So?" "So it's free." "I mean so where do you get the money to live?" "I give guitar classes." "It pays verywell." "Doesn't that make a noise?" "Your farts make more." "You're out mornings, so he can do 'em then." "Right, James, the room is... 35,000 a month." "Two months up front." "Two months?" "That's a lot." "It's absolutely necessary." "Well, then, what the hell!" "No problem." "Hey, but we do get the deposit back, don't we?" "Hold on a sec." "This guy's a case." "Don't encourage him." "What?" "He seems pretty cool to me." "Anyway, you got that girl in." "Gloria studies journalism and seems very serious." "But we can still talk about this?" "No, no, good." "That's it." "You get the serious chick, I get the music lessons." "Hello." "What?" "Friends of Edorta?" "ln the room at the back." "My love life is great." "My friends are great." "Not to mention the family." "Everything's fine." "Work's great." "Unemployment's great." "When I look to the future, it seems great." "Everything's going great." "My life's going great." "I am so happy." "Everything's going great." "My life's going great." "I'm so happy." "Drugs are just great." "The booze goes down great." "My health is listed on the stock exchange." "Jesus, things are great." "Problems are just great." "My conscience is just great." "I always sleep carefree." "Better than great." "But what are you doing?" "I have to return it today." "Got all the holes I need." "You're crazy!" "Who could it be?" "Must be Gloriawith her stuff." "I hearyou've got some extra rooms." "James, buddy." "Hi, I'm Lucia." "And you?" "Hi, I'm..." "Alvaro!" "Hi!" "Hi." "An art degree doesn't guarantee you ajob." "But I'll be studying what I like." "I didn't think you studied much in Art School." "You get a lot of assignments to do at home though." "Hey!" "What a beautiful stone!" "Don't touch it." "You'll demagnetize it." "Hey, Luciawhere are you from?" "From here." "But your parents live someplace else?" "No, they live here too, but they agreed to give me more money so I can be independent." "Cool way to get independence." "So you won't mind coughing up two months for the deposit." "Sure, no problem." "Christ!" "That'll be Gloria." "Looks like we'll have to let her go." "Sure looks that way." "I'm Gloria." "I was afraid you were." "Sorry about the appearance, but I just left work." "You're too late for the room." "Late?" "But I arranged with Juan Carlos to move in at 3:30 today." "Sorry, but it's 3:45." "Are you joking?" "Living together is no joke, and I'm getting bad vibes." "No means no. "Full house."" "Some people have no manners." "Thought you said there was no color around here." "Look to port!" "That chick's been winking her pussy at us big time." "Bars aren't the only place a normal guy can meet girls." "Yeah, but I'm not into paying." "Just don't count on me foryour nightly outings." "Saturdaywe're having a party, so you can stay home." "You crazy?" "They'll wreck the apartment." "No way!" "I've gotta stop fooling around." "Oh, come on, baldy." "Chill out, man." "We can do what the hell we want." "What do you wanna do?" "Fuck around all your life?" "I thought you wanted to write." "To write about life, first you gotta live it a bit." "Anyway, to each his own." "You do your studying." "That's cool by me." "So can I have first shot at Lucia?" "That's enough!" "She seems very nice." "Don't talk about women like they're merchandize." "There's some tasty merchandize in your porno videos." "What're you talking about?" "I been checking out your collection." "You're kinky, man." "Nearly all of them are pissing videos." "Let's go before the next round." "With a full bladder you just gotta be dangerous." "Look, smartass, see who the mini-skirt's with." "Bald fucker!" "What's he got you haven't?" "Coke, I'll bet." "Hello?" "Juan Carlos, your mom." "Hello, mom!" "What?" "I switch the cellular off at home." "Hello?" "Juan Carlos, your mom." "Fine thanks, studying." "I wish I had a girl." "Think I don't like girls?" "Hello?" "Juan Carlos!" "Your mom!" "I told you I don't want visits." "Specially not Eugenia." "I thought you hadn't spoken in years." "Hello?" "No idea if that paper is available here." "Dad's done the transfer." "No need to get him." "Yes, okay." "Bye mom." "I have a daughter who vomits everything." "She wants to be a model."

"What're you watching?" "Nothing." "Just real people and their real lives." "Looking great." "Going out?" "I'm off to an exhibition." "Pizza again?" "That's not food." "We should make a meal." "Sounds good to me." "Dinneryes, party no." "So how shall we organize it?" "Get Higinio to make us dinner at his restaurant." "Cut all the crap." "The guywho always stares at my tits?" "What a great idea!" "Or one of these joints where the waitresses show their tits." "I'm off to Ibiza for the holiday." "The weekend after I could." "India, Ibiza..." "What about Woodstock?" "Oh, Woodstock!" "Fucking great!" "So that's what was getting on my nerves!" "Edorta, pal!" "Edorta, pal!" "What?" "Stop the messages!" "Heard about the dinner?" "What dinner?" "Saturday after next," "Lucia's making dinner." "Pretty cool." "Jesus!" "Every fucker's got a cell phone these days." "They cut off communication." "TV's unbelievable."

"But it's good." "Yeah, it's good." "Just a bit hot." "There's a few things I wanted to say." "They're installing Canal Satellite Monday." "We paid the deposit, but we all have to share the monthly charge." "I also wanted to say that it's time we organized the house chores." "I can do the list." "What house chores?" "Well, bathroom, kitchen, shopping and cooking." "Keep on eating downstairs and you'll get covered in spots." "Don't put me on no list." "I'm not gonna use the kitchen." "And the bathroom?" "Those that don't like it dirty can clean it." "This guy's rota would fit on a post-it." "It's for me." "You got Chinese?" "Yeah." "I saw the second course, and decided to get spring rolls." "Thataboy." "Way to go." "And no way am I gonna pay for TV." "Even if I watched it." "I hate unilateral decisions, even if they're majority." "I'm going to my room with this." "Bon appetit." "Thanks." "Very nice salad, eh." "I'll get the next course." "But first we have to do some figuring." "Because of Edorta, we have to go quarters on the dinner." "What dinner?" "The one you're eating." "I thought it was on you." "What?" "I said I would make it, not pay for it as well." "What?" "You're tight as an asshole!" "12,000!" "Didn't you even steal anything, rookies?" "Stop complaining." "We went a long way to get it cheaper." "And 1,800 for a taxi!" "So you went to FIELDS and got a taxi back?" "Yeah!"

"Sit down." "You said enough." "Well, well." "Sharing with four guys!" "They're a load of punks." "Jesus, the champagne!" "Shit!" "Fuck!" "Hey." "Sorry, Edorta, any spring rolls going?" "I just left a couple of hot ones in the john." "People put up with crappy relationships." "Todayyou even get to try out washing machines." "Can I not return a partner if he doesn't work?" "I don't think about it now." "I leave work, take off my glasses, let down my hair, put one of these bras on that shrink men's brains and then go to try out washing machines!" "Hi, Marta, it's me."

"How are you?" "I was reading the National Geographic and I wondered..." "What city in Wakandawere you in?" "In Wakanda." "Fuckin' A. In the capital!" "Weren't you a cooperativist?" "Isn't Wakanda capital really industrialized?" "There's lots of poverty too." "Yes, the big North-South contrasts." "And in the big city, which race is the majority?" "Eh, the black one." "What a comedian." "I know there aren't manywhites." "I meant if Yakundi supremacy is reflected in the capital?" "The fact is I worked in an NGO only forwhites, some Monetary Fund setup." "Hardly met blacks." "Jesus, what a shame." "I'm sorry, but we're in a bit of a hurry." "I'd go for that!" "Higinio, have you ever been in Africa?" "Black Africa I mean." "You mean "The Africa?"" "That brothel in Aranda?" "Yeah, I been there a few times." "But now the broads are from Europe." "Them Austro-Hungarian fillies." "What you would call black broads, there ain't none left." "Well."

"You can make awig with her sideburns." "All these foryou?" "Yeah, why?" "No reason." "Maybe I can have an advance from the kitty." "What do you think?" "I can't write coherentlywith a pen, I need a computer." "We agreed to keep it for things that got busted." "So what's got busted so far?" "We'll have to re-paper that weirdo," "Edorta's room." "Sorry." "Hi." "Hello." "You been caught out." "He heard you." "He and his friends are dangerous." "I think they're into violent video games." "What violent video games?" "You're losing it, dumbo." "Keep to the subject." "You gonna give me an advance?" "I gotta go hi-tech." "What are you doing?" "Hi." "I got a project and no space in my room." "You don't mind, do you?" "No, on the contrary."
