"Señora Lulita?" "Good morning." "One fine Thursday afternoon, 47 years ago," "I had my last chance for happiness." "I was very young and married to a tyrant, and I thought my life was over." "I'd given up any hope to get away." "But that afternoon, I received a strange visitor." "I felt I was being watched, and saw a beautiful bird looking at me with deep and serene eyes." "Suddenly he said to me" ""Lulita, you are the most beautiful creature" ""my eyes have ever seen." ""That's why I've come to offer you a chance to be happy."" "Happy?" "Yes, Lulita." "All you have to do is make a dress with some blue fabric you have to buy." "But I don't know how to sew." "By my will and by the grace of all the heavens, the gift of sewing has been granted to you." "Your mission will be to dress the cook, the butler, the fireman, the nurse and the chauffeur." "Do it, my child, and you will have the clouds at your feet." "Thank you, my children, thank you." "Today, we are celebrating our 47th year, and this warm applause..." "I want you to give this applause to yourselves." "For it is you who have made this company great." "And that is why today, like every year," "Lulita's Uniforms has a gift for you." "By the grace of the heavens, a bird has come to choose one of you." "Rita, please." "This bird will draw the name of the person who will win a trip for two to Playa Salamandra." "My children, I wish you all good luck." "Marina Farfán." "Congratulations, my dear." "This your chance for happiness." "I hope you don't let it pass you by." "Blue Eyelids" "Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel, a fruit basket on arrival, access to the minibar, spa, fitness centre and pool throughout your stay." "Here's the entertainment schedule for the next two months." "A ticket to the dolphin show, and a deluxe dinner at Finisterra, with a violin serenade." " It's a lot." " Yes, it's a lovely package." " Do you have any questions?" " No..." " Well, yes." "I was wondering..." " Yes?" "What happens if I go alone?" "What happens?" "Nothing." "You'll have the package just for yourself." " So, it is possible?" " What?" "To go alone?" "Yes, of course." "But the package is designed for two." "Sign here, please." "It's your entitlements." "How long do I have to find... to say who's coming with me?" "The same." "From June to September." "The trip is not transferable and is only valid from June to September this year." "Hello?" "Good evening." "Is Laura there?" "No, Laura doesn't live here any more." "Do you know where I can reach her?" "She got married and lives overseas." " Who is this?" " Marina Farfán." " Are you her mother?" " No, Doña Raquel passed away." "I'm her aunt." "Her aunt..." "Thank you very much." "Goodbye." "Look, this is the nicest one, see?" "The nicest." " Was this your bedroom?" " No, my son's, until he died." "What happened?" "The idiot was drunk and someone shot him." " I'm sorry." " Spare me that nonsense!" "I'm still mad at the bloody kid..." "Do you have children?" " No." " Still single?" " Yes." " That's good." "Enjoy life!" " But you do have a girlfriend?" " I'm afraid not." "You're in the shit, then." "Follow me." "Bedrooms are important." "But there's nothing like a good bathroom." "Look." "See?" "Look." " No water problems?" " In this flat, never." "But upstairs it's an uphill battle." "They have to use their saliva, like cats." "Look, here it is." "These are my plants." "I have to come from far away to water them." "I really like the apartment, Mercedes." " But I don't have enough." " Don't say that!" "I'm letting it go for a song!" "I have enough, but if I buy it I'll be broke." "You want to have your cake and eat it too?" "No, no..." "I can't go any lower." "I just don't know..." " Let me think about it." " Think about it?" "Listen, Victor, you won't find anything better." "And it'll pass you by, it will." "I've had plenty of better offers." "I won't sell it to my brother-in-law." "He beats my sister." "I don't know..." "An undecided young man..." "Look for something better." "If you find it let me know, I'll buy it." " Hello?" " Lucía?" "Who's this?" "Marina." " Hi." " Hi, how are you?" "Fine." "And you?" "Fine." "How's Lazlo?" " Lazlo's fabulous." " That's great." " Who's there with you?" " Nobody." "It's the radio, I'll turn it down." "There." "I want to tell you something." "In fact, I want to ask you for a favour." "A few days ago, I won a trip at work." "Where to?" "Playa Salamandra." "Congratulations." "What did you want to ask me?" "Well... the trip is for two people, and I'd like you to come with me." "On the trip?" "Are you sure?" "Yes, it's ten day and it's all free." "Want to come?" "Yes, sure." "When is it?" "20, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30..." "That's it." " It's all there." " No, it's 50 pesos short." "How?" "It's 20 pesos for the bread and 30 pesos change." "But I gave you 100 pesos bill." "No, lady." "You gave me 50 bill." "I only had one bill." "I couldn't make a mistake." " This is your bill." " No." "Let me talk to the manager." "That's me." "You gave me 50 and I gave you your change." "No, please look again." " Keep the bread." " I can't." "I sold it to you." "Listen..." "Shoot..." "Excuse me, Marina Farfán?" "Is your name Marina Farfán?" " Remember me?" " No." "How come you know my name?" " Who are you?" " Victor Mina, from high school." " You were in Group F." " No." "Don't you remember me?" "You were friends with Carolina Espinosa." "My memory's a bit fuzzy, but it's nice to see you." "How are you?" "Well... fine." "What are you up to?" "What am I up to?" "Nothing." "Working." "And you?" "I've been working in an insurance company for five years." "That's nice." "But I don't remember you." "I'd love to invite you for coffee and talk about the old days." " Really?" " Yes." "May I borrow your pen?" "Thanks." "Here's my number." "Give me yours and I'll call you." "My number?" "I don't have one." "It was cut off." "Never mind." "Here." "Thanks." "I mean it, Marina." "Call me." "We can talk." "I have a lot to tell you." "Really?" "All right, I'll give you a call." " What was your name again?" " Victor Mina." "Nice to meet you, Victor." " Goodbye." " See you." "I'll wait for your call." "Were you in electricity workshop?" "No, in the accounting class." " I see." "Goodbye." " See you soon." "Hello?" "I thought you were out." " Lucía?" " Of course." "Who else?" " What's up?" " Nothing..." "I wanted to ask you..." "What are you doing Friday night?" "Why?" "I want you to come over for dinner." "We'll talk about our trip, about us, about Lazlo." "He can't be with us." "I'll explain later." "It'll be just you and me." "When did we last see each other?" "Marina..." "Look..." "Look what I made." "Smells great." "My husband loves this ham." "The last time I made it, was when..." "Things are awful, Marina." "We're going through a rough time." "Why?" "I don't know." "He's... so distant." "He's always angry." "He works so hard, for peanuts." "He's always in a bad mood." " I think I'm losing him." " Don't say that." "Yes..." "And I love him so much, Marina!" "So much." "Have you talked to him?" "Yes, but..." "He doesn't listen to me." "I'm so afraid, Marina." "But I think I've come up with a solution." " And you're going to help me." " Me?" "I think what Lazlo really wants is a son." "A son?" " Did he tell you that?" " No, but I know him." "Look, Marina..." "I think Lazlo would love to go on that trip." " Is he coming with us?" " No, no..." "Listen, Marina." "I have a favour to ask you." "It's very important." "Lazlo wants a son." "And, you know, a trip... is the best opportunity." " You must be hungry." " No." " And?" " Marina, I'd like..." "I'd like you to let me go with Lazlo." "Please." " Sure." "The more, the..." " No, Marina." "Just Lazlo and me." "What about me?" "I'll help you save up for next year." "Do you want me to give you my prize?" "We're sisters." "I wouldn't ask this from anyone else." "My marriage's in danger..." " But I want to go too!" " And you will." "I promise." "Just not right away." " Let me save and pay for your trip." " I can't." "I know it's hard, but you understand." "I can't." "I signed the papers and..." "What?" "It's not transferable." "I can't give it to anyone." "Please, my marriage depends on you." "I would if I could, but I can't." "You'd have a nephew, and I would be very happy." "Marina, you have to help me, please." "I really can't." "At the travel agency they said..." "You can't, or you won't?" "I can't." "Seriously." "I'd really love to, believe me." "Don't be angry." "You're just envious." "At least I have a husband to fight for." "But you're an old maid." "And you always will be." "Lazlo and I won't separate." "You hear me?" "You won't make us." "Get out." "That's all." " It won't be long." " Thank you." "I've always wanted to come here." "Me too." "It's very fancy." "Yes..." "I didn't think you'd call me so soon." "Thank you." "Why not?" "I was happy to see you." " Really?" " Yes." "I was happy too." "I thought you didn't recognise me." "Of course I did." "I was just in a hurry that day." "Do you remember Pedro Osorio?" " Who?" " He got in a fight with Enrique..." " No, why?" " No reason." "I wonder if he married María Andrea, a gorgeous, tall girl..." "I don't know." "He was nice." "He made us all laugh." "I don't remember." "Victor, do you like the beach?" "Of course!" "Who doesn't like the beach?" "And do you like to swim?" "More or less." "It depends." " Why?" "Are you a travel agent?" " No, not at all." "But remember I told you I work in this uniform store?" "Yes..." " Are you married?" " No." "I don't have a girlfriend either." " Why do you ask?" " It's just that..." "The other day, actually, last week..." "Do you like margaritas?" "Because I love them!" "Yes, I like them, but I don't drink much at all." "I don't get drunk either..." "Look, Victor, I want to ask you..." "What?" "Look, as I was saying, last week at work... they raffled a trip to Playa Salamandra." " Do you know it?" " No..." "Good." "I want, I mean I'd like..." "We go back a long way... and I've always liked you." "Would you like to come with me?" "To Playa Salamandra?" " When?" " It's up to me..." "I mean, it's up to us to decide." "It's for 10 days and everything's free!" "Even the breakfasts are included." "Shall we, Victor?" "It's a perfect chance... to get to know each other, become friends, have fun..." "Marina, I'm very flattered, but..." "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable." "Separate beds, of course!" "Sure... but I don't know..." "Why are you inviting me?" "Look," "I was going with my sister, but she got pregnant." "So I thought of you." "Come on." "We'll have fun!" "Everything's free!" "Sure!" "Of course I'll go, Marina." "Thank you so much." "I really like the idea of travelling together." "Bon appetite." "I'm at your service." "Thank you." " It's delicious." " Yes." "Marina, I'd like... well, since we'll be travelling together... to get to know each other better." "I'd like that very much, too." "Would you like to go on a picnic this weekend?" "Sure." "I'd really like that." "Olaya Tours." "Good morning." "How are you?" "Yes, one moment, please." "Right." "Go ahead..." "Victor Mina..." "Perfect." "Did you decide on a date?" "I can't wait to be at the beach." " Same here." " I've heard it's beautiful." " I've never been." " Me neither." "My uncle sent me a card years ago and it looked nice." " The best thing is everything's free." " Yes, that's great!" "Do you remember Tania Moreno?" "Tania Moreno..." "She was Soraya García's friend." "No, I have a bad memory." "What happened to her?" "Nothing." "I haven't seen her in years." "I think high school was the best time of my life." "I had a girlfriend," "Mariel Ponce." "She had curly hair." "She was a pretty brunette." "Thank you." "She was my girlfriend." "We got along really well." "What happened?" "Well... her mother didn't want her to have a boyfriend." "You know..." " Did you have a boyfriend?" " Yes, but in senior high." " What happened?" " It ended too." "Why did you break up?" "I don't know." " You're very quiet." " No." " You know I'm buying a flat?" " Yes, with your uncle's inheritance." "My godfather." "He died two years ago, but I just got the money." " Did you find one you liked?" " Yes, just one." "But it's too expensive." "If I buy it, I won't have anything left." "You have to save." " I have no money saved for the trip." " Me neither!" "I'm not taking much money." "But will you take me out dining and dancing?" "Yes, but not all the time." "What I really enjoy is to relax." "Me too, but... what I really want is to get a tan." "Look." "I'm very pale." "Me too." "Why did we come here?" "When I was little, I lived nearby." "Do you like it?" "Yes..." "I lived three blocks away." "I used to play here after school." "Every day, we'd change and come out to play." "My mum would get mad about it." "She said we weren't studying." "This park was built when I started school..." "I can't wait to be at the beach." "Same here." " They say it's beautiful." "I've never been." " Me neither..." "My uncle sent me a card once and it looked nice." " I already said that, didn't I?" " Yes." " The best thing is everything's free." " Yes, that's great." "Thank you." "I had a nice time." "So did I." " We'll be in touch." " Yes." "Bye." "APARTMENT FOR SALE" "See Reception for details" "Colinda Insurance, hello." " Victor Mina, please." " What department?" "I don't know." "I need the section to transfer the call." "Well, I don't know..." "I'm calling for the first time." "Please hold for a moment." " We don't have a Victor Mina." " I'm sure you do." " But in which section?" " I don't know." "I told you I need the department." "I don't know." "I must speak to him." "I'm sure he works there." "One moment." "Hello?" "Victor Mina?" "No..." "Hold on." "Does anyone know a Victor Mina?" "Not here." "What department?" "Hello?" "No, not here." "Hello?" "Try the mail room." "Hello?" "No..." "There's no Victor here." "Assistant." "Yes, that's me." " Hello?" " Hello, Victor?" "Marina?" "Yes." "Hi." "How are you?" "Hi." "I'm fine, and you?" "Fine." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just working." "What about you?" "Me too." "I'm glad you called." " Really?" " Yes." " Hello?" " I'm still here." "I thought we were cut off." "Would you like to go to the movies?" "Two for the 8.00 pm session." " It starts at 8.40." " I see..." "That's fine." "I'll take them." "Thank you." " Hi." " Hi." " I already bought the tickets." " Thank you." " But the film doesn't start until 8.40." " Really?" " What time is it?" " 7.30." "It's all right." "We can talk." " And we can get good seats." " Yes..." "Thanks for the ticket." "You treat me to a trip, I treat you to a film." "But thanks again." "Today's a perfect day." "It isn't sunny, or cold, or cloudy..." "They're still sleeping." "Where are they?" "I don't know." "I can't find them yet." "You should kiss me, without asking a thing." "I'm an expert at stealing kisses." "Just do it." "Close your eyes." "I don't want to." "I'm scared." "The kiss..." "Finally, the kiss." "Everyone is looking at us." "Who are you?" "Tell me, who are you?" " And now what?" " What time is it?" "10 o'clock." "Take me dancing." "Then make love to me." "Do you want to go dancing?" "Yes." "Is Friday all right?" " I'll pick you up." " At 10." "Everyone is looking at us." "Who are you?" "Tell me, who are you?" "How's this?" "Someone will be right with you." "What will you have?" "A margarita." "We have to get used to it." " Me too." " Coming right up." " The atmosphere's great!" " Yes." " Shall we dance?" " After they bring the drinks." " Only two days until we leave." " Yes." " I'm very excited." "And you?" " Me too." "I bet they have places like this but more fun." "Yes, but I won't take much money." "We won't go out every night." "No, but often, right?" "I like these..." "Pardon?" "I like these places." "So do I." " And our margaritas?" " They're coming." "We ordered margaritas." " Coming..." " What did he say?" " They're coming." " Good." " I want to get in the mood." " What did you say?" "That I feel like dancing." " Me too, let's go." " But I'm very thirsty." " He's bringing them." " What?" "Nothing." "Let's dance." "Okay." "We were sitting here..." "There was a mistake." "This table was reserved." "We were here first." "We'll sort it out." "Nacho!" "There are other tables." "You gave it to us." "We were here first." "I'm so sorry." "We'll find you a table." " Why did you come outside?" " The music was too loud." "We'll go dancing over there, right?" "Is that what you want?" "Yes." "Then, yes." "We'll go dancing often." "We'll have to make reservations before going anywhere." "Do you remember Lili Diaz?" "A girl from Group D." "She went out with Gustavo, alias "The Eraser"." "I don't remember either of them." "Marina... why did you invite me on the trip?" "What?" "Why did you invite me on the trip?" "You don't remember anyone, not even me." "My sister and I had an argument." "I had no one else, and I didn't want..." "I don't want to go alone." "Why did you say you liked me?" "I didn't want to seem desperate, but I don't remember you at all." "What about you?" "What do you remember about me?" "That you were happier then." "I would have done the same." "The same, what?" "If I'd won a trip and then ran into you..." "I would have invited you, too." "I don't have anyone else to invite either." "Why don't you have anyone to invite?" " I didn't ask you that." " But I want to know." "Why couldn't you take someone else?" "I haven't been with anyone in a long time." "What about your friends?" "What became of them?" "I don't know." "I haven't seen them in ages." " Why?" " I don't know." "That's how I am." "It's the song..." "I'll just use the bathroom." "I didn't know you smoked." "Occasionally, only at night." " Do you want one?" " No, thanks." "How long have you lived here?" "Eight years." "Have you always lived alone?" "Yes." "Me too." " Would you like a drink?" " No, thanks." " Would you like some music?" " I don't know, what about you?" "What would you like to do?" "Señora Lulita?" "May I come in?" "Come in, dear." "Good morning." "Are you feeling all right?" "I have to give you a bath." "I know when I need a bath, cupcake." "I must be going." "Sure, all right..." "I'll just use the bathroom." " Would you like a coffee?" " No, thanks." "Well, then..." "See you tomorrow." "The bus leaves at five." " I'll pick you up at three." " Okay." "Shall I take you home?" "No, thanks." "Is it easy to get a taxi here?" "Yes, on the avenue." "All right, then..." "See you tomorrow at three." "Yes..." "You know what, cupcake?" "I'm bored." "With what?" "When you're my age, you'll understand." "You do the math." "You know how many times I've risen, showered, and gone to work?" "Many times." "And you know how many times I've wet my bed?" "Never, as far as I know." "Exactly, cupcake." "Not once." "Wetting myself is the most innovative thing I've done in years." "Aren't you going to have some juice?" "Or at least eat a little, so you can take your pills." "Rita, you have a very pretty face, but you have no idea what I'm talking about." "Today, I'm not taking anything." "You can't stop taking your pills." "How many years do you think I have left?" "The pills improve your quality of life." "Listen!" "You know why I asked you to bring me to the garden?" " To hear the birds sing?" " No." "I need you to do me a favour." "These lovely birds, who sing so beautifully, do you see them?" " Of course." " You see, dear..." "I'm sick of them too." "Set them free!" "But Lulita, they're your friends, the symbol of your company." " The story about how..." " I made the story up." "That's why I don't care, sweetie." "Go on, sweetie, open the cages." " You'll regret it..." " Open those bloody cages!" "He won't go." "Find a way... to make him go, cupcake." "I'm a fool." "I wish you were here." "If you forgive me, meet me at the station." "The hotel was beautiful, very fancy." "But it was half empty." "Last year, they had more tourists." "I saw a dolphin." "There were many, but I only saw one." "One night, I tried a Vampire Margarita." "It's good, but spicy." "I got a little tan, not too much." "I didn't want to get burned." "It's barely noticeable." "It sounds like you had fun." "Yeah..." "Here..." "I brought you a little something." "Thanks, it's very pretty." "I got it in a souvenir shop that had lots of things but this is what I liked most for you." "Thank you." "What about you?" "Did you decide about the apartment?" "No..." " Well I did, but I was too late." " What a shame." " You'll find another one." " Sure." "I can help you look, if you want." " Yes, that would be nice." " Good." "Look what I bought." "The engine's flooded." "It's heavy rain." "Marina... will you marry me?" "Yes." "I think it'll start now." "We should've..." "What?" "Nothing." "Subtitles by Monty Video for KG"
