"Alfredo says he wants to come to the studio sometime." "You've got some nerve." "Skipping school, dropping by without notice, and next the recording studio." "You live like a king." "You've got some nerve." "You always tell me to enjoy life." "Yeah, but not so much." "And you're pushing it." "Alfonso, are you free later?" "You're not going home?" "No." "But you can take the metro, right?" "Or do you need a chauffeur?" "Where are you going?" "To see Felix at the hospital." "So are you free?" "No way." "Come on." "Come with me." "No." "Why not?" "No." "He s okay." "He's fine." "So was Hendrix and he didn't even recognize me." "I just talked to him." "He asked about you." "No, Jose." "l don't get you." "You don't?" "It's simple." "I m tired of seeing my friends die." "I've spent 3 years burying my friends." "I don't want to see Felix like that." "I don't want to remember him that way." "Dad, can I come with you?" "No, I ve told you a hundred times." "You can't." "Why not?" "Don't make me say it again!" "Who's Felix?" "My godfather." "What's wrong with him?" "He has Aids." "That's why your pop won t let you?" "Yeah." "I want to see him, though." "I ll go tomorrow at playtime." "They won't let you in." "I don't care." "I'll sneak in." "Hey." "What?" "Come with me." "I can't miss class." "Next weekend if you want." "No, I m going tomorrow." "Come and meet him." "He's cool, and he'll like you." "I can't." "I would if I could, I swear." "How will you get out?"

"You re a shithead." "I ll see you tomorrow." "See you." "Pellet." "The tracks tomorrow." "Fine." "What's up?" "Ditching again tomorrow?" "Fuck you, Cobeta." "You're scared." "Forget it, punk!"

"With her there, it might be difficult." "Felix?" "Alfredo." "Alfredo!" "Come on, man." "Let's go." "Come on, man." "That son of a bitch!" "Will you tell your pop you saw him?" "No." "I shouldn't have gone." "Why not?" "Because." "I understand Alfonso now." "If you hadn t, it would have bugged you your whole life." "Why'd they shave his head?" "I don t know." "How can they keep someone like that alive?" "I d rather die than be like that. I'd shoot myself." "They wouldn t leave me half-dead." "And if I die, they can burn my body and throw the ashes into the sea or anywhere as long as it isn't one of those sick tombs." "Big deal." "If you're already dead, who cares?" "I care. I won't be put in a hole." "I don't want to die." "Of course not!" "Neither do I." "But it's impossible." "Why?" "Because everyone dies." "l don't see why." "How should I know?" "It's up to God or whatever." "God doesn't exist." "How do you know?" "I just do." "God doesn't exist and I'm never going to die." "Or let Him stop this rock from landing on that light reflected in the water." "No fucking way." "No?" "Get your ass in here, asshole!" "Fucking move!" "I'm going to kick your ass!" "What do you mean, ' nothing '?" "The next time you ditch class you're fucking dead!" "What s E.T. s dad s name?" "What?" "Eat Me!" "How stupid." "You in, Lolo?" "I'm out." "New kid?" "If not, what did you come for?" "I can t be here?" "Sure." "You can watch." "I'm not watching you." "What?" "You heard me." "Yeah, you d better not." "Leave him alone." "I just hate smart asses."

"I didn't see it." "You ll see when you go against him." "He s a real son of a bitch." "I won't because I'll never do it." "It s fucking stupid." "What is?" "That fucking stupid game." "No way, it s real cool." "I don't see why." "It is, it's amazing." "Yeah, especially the day someone gets their head ripped off by the train." "Like the tall guy." "What tall guy?" "Last year a tall kid got killed." "What's up?" "He's not coming." "Shit." "One less." "Why not?" "His father says he s grounded." "Why?" "What for?" "I don t know." "What now?" "Go try to talk to him." "You go, Alfonso." "I don't even know him." "Shit." "You know his name?" "No." "All right, fine." "Be right back." "Jose, be diplomatic." "And cover the tattoo." "Hi." "Hi."

"We re all going up to a house on the mountain, and thought" "Pablo could join us." "Right." "You'll be back today?" "Yeah." "We ll be back at around 10 or 11."

"It stinks!" "You pig, you farted." "It was you," "don t lie." "lt was you." "Yeah, he s the pig." "Open my window." "Mine, too." "It s no big deal." "There they are." "Mommy, Alfonso fartied." "Yes, he did." "And it stinks." "Hop in." "Hi." "Hi." "Hi, Pablo." "Get off me, Golfo." "Where are we going?" "To the top." "To the clouds?" "Maybe not as high as the clouds." "To the sky?" "Hey, what's the hurry?" "Be careful." "Let them go, give them a break." "So, when are we going to stop?" "Stop?" "Didn't you say we'd stop soon?" "Go on, your turn." "Do it with him." "Let's see." "Where is it?" "Don't..." "Golfo!" "Golfo!" "Okay, we're in." "Dad..." "What?" "l'm soaked." "Don't worry about it." "Here, take the kid." "Up, Golfo." "Up." "It came from nowhere." "I'm drenched!" "So am I." "That's what you get for not bringing clothes." "It's a great feeling." "Nice and wet." "Especially my nuts." "Warm and soggy!" "Here." "This is for you and this is for your friend." "Leave your wet shoes and clothes in the tub." "Okay." "It s big, but it's all we have." "I'll dry your clothes later." "Hey." "Don't drip too much." "We won't." "Bye." "Bye." "Shit, I'm freezing, man!" "Me, too!" "Take the boots." "Shit." "It's big on you." "'Big", he says." "Where's mine?" "ln the basket." "It's in there." "Grab it." "How did that happen?" "What?" "Your back." "I fell the other day." "Well?" "I'm washing my hands." "I don't want you with those people again." "Why not?" "Because I said so." "Okay, okay." "Dry off and go to bed, it's after eleven." "Son of a bitch." "I hope you die." "Hey, you guys seen Pellet?" "You seen him, Red?" "No." "Maybe he s in the shop." "Salva?" "You seen him?" "Nope." "He's probably sick." "For a week?" "Why not?" "His dad probably beat him up." "Yeah?" "How do you know?" "Cause I do." "Did he tell you?" "No, but everyone knows it." "You ve got a big mouth." "Why do you say that?" "Because you do." "Big-mouth." "Pablo, it s me." "Open up." "I can't." "Why not?" "Because." "Please go away, my dad will be here any minute." "How are you?" "Fine." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Then let me in." "I told you, I can't." "Just for a second." "I can't." "Please leave and don't come back." "Leave or I'll be in trouble again." "He hit you?" "Your old man hit you, right?" "Pablo?" "Are you there?" "Just tell me if he did." "I ll leave. I swear." "Can I give Golfo some dinner?" "No, you can't feed the dog." "When you gone I give him." "Fine, but hold off until I leave." "Okay, squirt?" "I'm not a squirt." "What s wrong with you?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Come on, I know you." "What's wrong?" "Have a bite." "Nothing." "You haven't said a word all night." "What is it?" "It's not me, it's Pellet." "What about him?" "Golfo!" "Another?" "He's missed class all week." "And?" "Remember that day on the mountain?" "When we were changing our wet clothes I saw his back and it was full of marks and bruises." "I asked him and he said he'd fell, but he lied." "What do you mean?" "It was his dad." "How do you know?" "Everyone knows about it." "Hello." "Remember me?" "l'm..." "Sure." "Of course I do." "It s about your son." "is there a problem?" "No, no." "Well?" "He's been missing class." "I thought he might be sick." "My son's been looking for him for days." "It's probably nothing..." "He's at his grandma's with tonsillitis." "Right." "Then forget it." "Tell him Alfredo said hi." "Who?" "My son, Alfredo." "Right. I'll tell him." "Thanks." "And excuse me." "lt's nothing." "See you later." "Good bye." "Pablo?" "Pablo!" "Pablo, wait." "How did that happen?" "Pellet, wait." "You going home?" "Yeah." "Where were you at recess?" "ln the yard." "I didn t see you." "What are you doing tomorrow?" "I don t know." "My dad said we could go to the studio." "He s doing Ramiro." "I can't." "Why not?" "l just can't." "Bye." "Where were the marks?" "On his back." "And his ribs." "Just bruises, or also scars?" "I think he had scars, too." "How did he explain them?" "He fell." "You re sure?" "Everyone knows his dad hits him." "And I saw more on him yesterday." "None of it matters if we can't prove it." "You saw his dad hit him?" "No." "That's what matters." "Did he say why he can't come?" "No." "Get him to talk to Laura." "I'll talk to a social worker to see what we can do." "And meanwhile?" "There's nothing else we can do." "Unless you want to press charges." "I wouldn't unless I were completely sure." "Wait." "For what?" "For it to happen again?" "For him to speak." "The kid has to admit it." "Hello?" "Hi." "Right." "He's here, don't call him." "When?" "No, we ended up leaving later." "Yeah, I know where it is." "Tomorrow at five." "All right." "Good bye." "Alfredo, come here a second." "Come here." "What is it?" "Come here." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Felix is dead." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Hi." "Hi." "What are you doing here?" "l came to see Alfredo." "Where is he?" "Next door." "Come on." "Did you call your mom?" "Hi." "How are you?" "Okay." "Did you see your godmother?" "Yeah, she's pretty sad." "Well, cheer up or she'll cry when she sees you." "You want anything?" "I just had a coke." "Pablo?" "No, thanks." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Anyone?" "Coffee for me." "Okay." "Sit down." "Hi." "Hi." "How did you find out?" "l heard at school." "When s the burial?" "They're cremating him." "Good." "They buried my brother and it sucked." "I didn't know you'd lost a brother." "Remember the day at the studio?" "I'd just come from the cemetery." "I'm sorry." "Why?" "About your brother." "I only lost a godfather and look at me." "I never knew him." "He died before I was born." "Aren t you still sad?" "No." "He was probably an asshole." "Why do you say that?" "Because." "My father always compares him with me." "He must have been an asshole." "How did he die?" "In a car accident." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..." "He moved." "Don't fucking move!" "Come on, shut up already." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10," "Me against..." "You!" "Hey!" "I'm talking to you!" "What?" "Are you in or out?" "Leave me alone already." "That kid's weird, man." "Yeah." "A fag, like his godfather." "What did you say?" "l didn't say anything." "l heard you!" "I said you don't have balls for this." "I just think it's fucking stupid." "Sure." "You want to try me?" "lf you're up for it!" "Relax, I won't do anything." "Cars 204 and 206, are you there?" "Over." "204 here." "Over." "Some kids have been spotted on the tracks." "We're on our way." "What are you doing?" "You should have gotten ran over." "What happened?" "I told him he s an asshole." "Why didn t you cross?" "l didn't want to." "I m never coming back here." "This sucks." "Where are you going?" "Home." "You coming?" "Sure." "Pellet!" "Wait!" "I'm coming with you." "Hey, kids!" "Stop there." "Where are you going?" "Home." "Come on, get up." "What's the hurry?" "Let me see." "What is it?" "Your knee?" "So what s this train thing?" "A game." "A game?" "No, shit." "Pretty dangerous game." "I've never played." "What?" "I don t play." "You're too smart, right?" "You just sit there waiting for one of your friends to get run over." "They're all stupid and you're the smart one." "I didn't say that." "Look." "I don't intend to be watching." "Alfredo, don't laugh." "I m serious!" "You're getting on my nerves." "You hear me?" "Do you hear me?" "Yes." "I'm not going to follow you around whenever you go out, I'm not a cop." "But I'll tell you one thing." "If you get killed on those tracks, you'll kill me and everyone else who loves you." "Do you get it?" "Do it for yourself." "Life has too much to offer." "Don't get yourself killed before your time comes." "Life's already way too short." "Don't pout." "I'm telling you because I love you." "What a speech." "Bullshit." "You ll just blow it off, like we all did at your age." "That goes for you, too." "I m talking to you as a son." "I m not going back." "What?" "I won t play again, it's stupid." "Son of a bitch." "What a couple of smart little assholes." "There's no room." "There isn't a free spot anywhere." "It's full."

"Heading home." "I need some help." "Could you stay a little longer?" "Sure." "Set up the chair." "Alfredo, Pablo, come here." "Sit here, Pablo." "Take that off." "What for?" "Take it off." "Ready?" "Wait." "Hold still." "Let me see it." "See you later." "Bye." "Mom..." "Why are you so late?" "Where's Grandma?" "She went to bed." "Sit down." "Can't you ever be on time?" "I got tied up." "Right." "What's this?" "lt's food, that's what." "Go on, eat." "Where have you been?" "What do you mean?" "Don't pull that shit with me, I'm not one of your little friends." "Where have you been?" "At school, where else?" "Where?" "At school, I said." "You're lying!" "I'm not lying, I was at school." "I went by." "Where were you?" "I asked you a question." "I skipped the last class." "Skipped the last class?" "Then where were you?" "Answer me." "Are you deaf?" "I said answer!" "Don't hit him, please." "You stay out of this." "I m waiting." "Did you hear me?" "I was at the tracks." "Really?" "What the fuck were you doing?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Are you lying again?" "You want me to tell you where you were?" "Do I have to?" "Where are you going?" "Did I say get up?" "Sit down!" "Next time I see you with those people I'll rip your head off!" "Sit down!" "You hear me?" "Answer me!" "Answer me!" "Answer me, you asshole!" "Yes." "What was that?"

"We're about to eat." "Just one piece of chorizo." "You'll get fat." "Very funny." "You want chocolate?" "Yes." "You have to finish your plate." "Okay." "I'll get it!" "Okay, but then you'll eat." "Okay." "Who is it?" "Pablo!" "Alfre, is Pablo good?" "Of course he is." "Then why does his daddy hit him?" "l don't know." "Laura?" "It's me again." "Call me when you get the message." "No matter how late." "Call me back." "It's about Alfredo s friend." "Still no answer." "You want a drink?" "No, thanks." "You sure?" "I want a coke." "I didn t ask you, I asked your brother." "What will we do now?" "I don't know, we ll see." "See what your dad says." "Does it hurt?" "A little." "Jose." "What?" "Can I stay with you tonight?" "Sure, don't worry about it."

"Hold still..." "Are you dizzy?" "What if that asshole beats him up again tonight?" "Can you be sure he won't?" "I'm not sure of anything." "What I'm saying is how things should be done." "If my idea sounds stupid to you, I ll leave it all up to you." "How is he?" "Fine." "He wants water." "Tell us if you need anything." "Okay." "He clearly doesn't want to go home." "Jose, it s not up to him." "We have to call his parents and tell them he's here." "Why?" "Because we do, shit." "The police could be looking for him." "We can't hide him here." "I'm not hiding anyone." "Jose, you've had a minor since 10 P.M." "It's 2 A.M. and you haven't called his parents." "If you don't by tomorrow, they could charge you for kidnapping." "That's right." "And that dickhead father could say the kid left home unharmed." "Then we d be screwed." "Isn t there anything else we can do?" "Here." "Thanks." "My dad gave it to me." "You dropped it in the hospital." "Does it hurt?" "A little." "And you?" "Me what?" "The tattoo." "Not anymore." "What did your dad say?" "He s talking to Laura." "Well?" "They're going to call your dad to come pick you up." "Why?" "Laura says it's for the best." "Or there could be trouble." "Your dad said I could stay here tonight." "He promised." "Maybe Laura's right and you should leave." "He promised." "He wanted you to stay." "My dad will kill me." "I swear." "He'll kill me." "It's Pablo's father." "Good evening." "Come in." "Pellet!" "Pellet!" "Meet me in the alley next to the park!" "Where s Pablo?" "Son of a bitch." "Got a light?" "No." "Jos, you got a light?" "Here." "Here." "Thank you." "You want one?" "No, thanks. I don't smoke." "He's not here." "Where's that park you hang out at?" "He might be there." "Moor Park?" "l don t know." "Where you guys meet." "Moor Park." "Where is it?" "Next to the church." "Let's go have a look." "You better stay." "If he sees you, it could make things worse." "He's not here." "Wait, Alfredo." "What?" "Where is he?" "What?" "Where's Pablo?" "I don t know." "Yes, you do." "Tell me." "I don't, I swear." "Don t lie to me." "I'm not lying." "Where is he?" "And don't say you don t know." "You can't fool me." "I can't say." "What?" "I can't." "You'll let his dad take him." "I have to." "You said he'd stay with us." "I know, but things have changed." "Now he can t." "Because you don't want him to." "No, he just can't." "You ll understand someday." "I can't explain it now." "Tell me." "Alfredo, tell me where he is." "No." "You're making this hard." "Don't make me say it again." "Don't make me do something I'll regret." "Tell me." "Are you going to tell me?" "No." "Now tell me where the fuck he is." "I don t know." "There he is." "Pablo, wait." "is my dad there?" "What?" "is he there?" "Yes, but..." "Pablo!" "Pablo!" "Pablo, stop!" "Pablo, wait!" "Pablo, stop!" "I won't hurt you." "I won't." "What?" "l won t go back with him." "Relax, you don't have to." "Come on." "That s it, take it easy." "Dad." "Alfredo." "Stay with him." "Cover up." "Cover up." "I'll be right back." "Laura, come here." "Nothing, just come here." "What's up?" "I'm taking the kid home with me." "Don't do it..." "Wait, listen." "Get rid of his father." "Tell him anything." "Jose, Jose." "You could get into trouble." "You know that, right?" "I'm not thinking of myself." "I m thinking about the kid." "Come on, let's go." "Pablo, stand up." "My leg hurts." "It hurts?" "Come on, try." "I can't." "Don t worry." "Hold on tight." "That's it." "Up you go." "He kicked me, and pulled my hair." "He burned me with cigarettes." "He made me drink urine." "At bedtime he'd give me laxatives." "When I misbehaved, he'd lock me up in my room, or in the closet, and he said I couldn't get out until I felt sorry, and that he d let me die there." "He wouldn't let me see my friends, and he made me work in the shop." "He insulted me." "He spit on me." "He said that I should have died instead of my brother." "Can I say it?" "Son of a bitch." "Bastard." "Asshole." "Shithead." "Motherfucker." "Pig." "Faggot."
