"How did you know?" "Help me please..." "Help me, can you hear me?" "Loud and clear," "Ernestito, you're on your own." "You got into this mess all by yourself." "What do I do?" "How did you know?" " if I say the truth it'll be worse." " Of course." "Not just because what they'll do to you, but because of what I will." "I don't know anything." "He says he doesn't know anything." "He is full of shit." "He must think we're a bunch of idiots." "Hit him again." "Give it to him good." "And let's see if you can make him squeal." "What is he saying?" "Get me out of here." "Get me out of here, please." "Ernesto..." "Do not summon me again, I have a lot to do and I won't bother." "For the first and last time, this wasn't included in our deal," "I want to make sure it's clear." "Besides, it wasn't that bad, come on..." "Look at your face, unharmed." "Perfect for a magazine front page." "You're physically healthy." "However, the experience, the pain and the fear that you went through," "they remain crystallized forever in your head." "One more thing, I don't know what your plan was with the TV show, but I warn you;" "Even if you won millions, After the 10 years," "You'd show up here with nothing." "You're only entitled to the one million dollars that I promised you." "Trust me, it'll be more that enough." "You can't bring anything physical from there to here, Ernesto." "Don't be stupid." "Don't try to be a hero." "Like the incident with the towers..." "Suppose you could have avoided the terrorist attack and those deaths, something you could have done if you told them earlier than the day before." "All those people, here and now, they'd be dead anyhow." "They are parallel realities and parallel lines never meet, get it?" "Yes." "No more questions." "Don't mess with that." "You've spent 11 months, 15 days and 6 hours." "You still have 9 years, one month, 14 days and 18 hours left."

"You gotta realize that I'm making an extraordinary exception." "Also, remember that your wife is waiting for you at the restaurant." " So?" " "So"!" "You shouldn't keep her waiting." "After all, she's a lady." " Twenty." " But..." " You have 10 seconds." " Yes, but..." "Five." "That's it." "Great..." "My knees don't hurt." "I can see perfectly, damn it." "And my belly?" "I've got no belly, incredible!" "Ernesto, I'm going to buy some steaks and I'll be back." "Yeah, go buy those stakes..." "Bye, mom." "But you'll have to eat them alone." "I'm going to Buenos Aires." "Before I run away I'll say goodbye to my girlfriend." "Poor thing, she doesn't deserve to be abandoned just like that." "Listen carefully, Aurora." "You'll cheat on me with Kravetz the russian." "Like the idiot that I am, I'll find out after 2 months." "You'll marry him and you'll have 2 children." "One of them, will be that fat." "What are you making up, idiot?" "Screw that dream you had of traveling the world." "Because you'll waste your beautiful life between the four walls of your kitchen, cleaning and taking care of your beautiful family, like a servant." "What happened?" "Have you gone mad?" "And when you'll get old..." "I could have told her anything Make up the greatest lie ever told." "There is no need." "Just telling how time will pass is enough to destroy everyone." "There's no need to add anything extra to make it sad and horrible." "I haven't told you." "The russian will have an artery rupture." "He'll be left paralyzed." "What a lovely life you'll have..." "Enjoy it." "Screw her for cheating on me, fucking hairdresser." "Hey..." "My mom's a hairdresser..." "Aurora is a hairdresser..." "Rosa is a hairdresser..." "Fuck..." "I think I've never been young." "I missed the hippies era, fucking like bunnies, for being scared to knock up someone." "What a dumbass..." "Always looking how life passed me by..." "Time to enjoy all that." "Time to live the 70s as I should." "Far away from that shitty hellhole." "Sex and Rock'N'Roll." "No drugs." "Ernesto at the 70s..." "It's my wish to tell this personally because this is when things go well for Ernestito, supposedly." "The sons of bitches, or the devil, or whoever they are, always give you sweets so they can roast you better as if you were a golden chicken ready to be served." "I've never been young, except now and I'm almost 70." "It's very common in our eclipse times for youngsters to be very old." "Because it's the death of imagination." "The idea of going to the big city to triumph and fuck... isn't that bad, when you think of it." "Of course, you can also fuck in your town, I've done it." "Of course, you need an ontological point of view for that." "You need a reason to live." "What Ernestito never understood is that a city is big only if one is big." "And a city is full of shit if one is made of shit." "Ernesto, fine lad that he is, with the intentions of fucking..." "And also advance, thanks to certain girls who at the moment weren't known." "Even they didn't know their destiny." "Pata Villanueva." "Cristina Fernández..." "Yes, the president." "Valeria Lynch..." "Naturally, no one cared about him." "First and foremost, because girls aren't stupid." "That's the first thing..." "But besides that, because Ernestito..." "Is simply just Ernestito... if he learnt something it's that money won't help him here." "Now, the dumbass just wants to be somebody." "If you're going to screw people over, better screw them big." "See how his creative capacity has no limits." "Hey, can I ask you something?" "Sure, go ahead." "If I mumble a song, can you write its notes?" "It's not that hard." "I'll mumble it," "And you write it down, the musical notes." "Like a good dull person, Ernesto looks for an assistant who is 20 times more stupid than he is." "This way he won't get overshadowed." "I would have preferred for the hippie character to be handicap," "To be on a wheelchair." "Wouldn't it have been better?" "Right, since I'm nobody..." "Bah!" "The next day, he went with the hippie to a cheap recording studio." "From there to the record company with the tape under his arm." "Did you write it yourself?" "I've got it registered." "Here are the papers." "See for yourself." "A world with no religion..." "One of those things that come out." "Not sure from where, but it did." "Actually, I'm a catholic." "I was baptized." "But the song talks about a world with no heaven or hell." "I'm a catholic, but not a practicing one." "How did you name the song?" ""Imagine"." ""Imagina" in Spanish." "You've hit the bull's-eye." "Lennon must have woken up with a backache that day." "Did you write the music yourself?" "Because some guy in Argentina, the world's ass," "Yes." "Stole his song, one year before he'd have written it." "Ok, Lad." "You've got a producer." ""Imagine"..." "Ernesto had some gigs and as incredible as it may seem, things go pretty well for him." "The song is so good that it resists even Ernestito." "Ernesto!" "The girls are here!" "You're Ernesto Zambrana, no?" "I can't understand how no one invented a telephone with no cables yet." "Imagine that, it'll be the size of a pack of cigarettes." "Very practical." "You could walk in the street, dial the number, and you'd say:" ""Hello, is... "" " Paula." " "Hello, is Paula there?"" "I also want to make a film." " A film?" " Yes." "What a genius!" "I love the cinema." " Really?" " I take theater classes." " Tell me about your idea..." " All right." "This movie is about a shark, a big one, 4 meters, give or take." "It goes through the shores, eating the swimmers." "I hope she's not a part of the Peronist urban guerrilla group." "I don't want any trouble." "Eitherway, she's hot." "The things Rock'n'Roll does." "Nice job, kid." "You've done well." "You ended up getting married to the pretty groupie." "Now you can make a nest." "Like in the movie "Allen"." "You're fucked up old men, Ernesto!" "Instead of having fun with the girl you got married." "Ernesto plagiarized "Imagine"" "from what little he could remember and understand, because he never liked "The Beatles"." "He always hated them." "He wrote a piece of crap That went like this:" ""Imagine a world where everyone has love." "A house, money and cars with no drugs or religion." "Imagine all people living in peace." "They say I'm crazy, but I'm telling the truth." "I hope that you'll join us to make an ideal world. "" "Disgusting, man!" "We just heard "Imagine", performed by its author, Ernesto Zambrana, who is still here with us." "Ernesto, I understand that next weekend you'll perform in Asuncion, in Paraguay..." "Yes." "The single came out in Chile and Paraguay." "In some other countries as well." "Mexico..." "Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan." "Zambrana." "The vanity of plagiarism knows no limits." "Carla from Palermo says:" ""I just heard the song on the radio and it really got me excited." "It made me think how absurd war is." "It has a beautiful message, I'll buy the single today. "" "Thank you, Carla." "Anibal, from Villa Urquiza:" ""I saw Zambrano in a bar last week, singing "Imagine"." "The song is good, but the other three songs he performed were horrible." "Besides, the guy has no swing, and he has a salami head"." "Let's see..." " Some people are so prejudiced, no?" " Yes." "Why must artists be like stereotypes?" "Isn't that too authoritarian?" "Why someone with talent, who writes a beautiful song such as "Imagine"" "can't be ugly, fat, with no swing, or without charisma?" "I'll leave you with that thought so you can think about it." "Bye, we'll talk tomorrow." "Thank you." "Ernesto, I've got a woman on the line" "Norma from Olavarría, she claims she's your mother." " Do you want to talk to her?" " No." "No, she's a crazy fan who is stalking me." " Paulita." " What?" "Are you with me only because I'm famous, or are you truly in love with me?" "I don't know." "Both." "What about it?" "I tend to refer to a man's stages of life as concentration camps." "Every year is a more electrified barbed wire than the year before." "Thirty is like Auschwitz." "Don't give cigarettes to the girls, smoke them all yourself." "After all, you're dumb and crazy." "I'm always more convinced that, just by getting older..." "Notice how dumb he looks." "Maybe he won't even fuck them." "That's just to be a show-off." "What a waste of boobs." "I've got two bad news." "You better sit down." "Your wife called, it's been a month since she last saw you." "She's suing you for adultery and because you beat the crap out of her." "Tell her to go fuck herself." "What's the second one?" "You're being sued for plagiarism." " What?" " On behalf of John Lennon." "No more, no less." "His lawyers claim that you plagiarized him," "His lawyers claim that you plagiarized him, because of its style, its subject, the harmony..." "Bla bla bla bla..." "They say that they don't know how, but clearly you've stolen information from him." "But I registered it, he didn't." "I know." "Still, you'll need to prove in court that you're capable of writing such a song." "And the law firm that represents Lennon here is tough." "That's grave." "A huge problem." "So what do we do now?" "That's your business, baby." "I'm abandoning ship." "I'm suffering the punishment that this fucked up society forces on people like us, who have no talent." "Leave us alone, you sons of bitches." "Lennon himself had said it, "The dream is over"." ""What can I say?"" "The dream is over, what can I say?" " Who is it?" " Mail, correspondence from the courthouse." "Having analyzed the lawsuit as well as the defense allegations, this court of law finds Ernesto Zambrana guilty of committing plagiarism of Sr. John Winston Lennon and condemns him to pay a compensation fee of... 283,400 dollars." "Justice!" "Justice!" "They are convicting an innocent man!" "You!" "Corrupt judges!" "This is the part where Ernesto is outside the courts, demanding justice." "This asshole will get shot by a lunatic, just outside his home." "They'll kill him like a rat." "The idiot believes in justice, as if he lived in Switzerland." "What are you looking at?" "He just discovered that the world is unfair, poor thing." "There you are, the lawyer is leaving, right?" "What are you, a judge?" "You are corrupt!" "Yes, I'm talking to you!" "I know everything!" "I know everything, woman!" "I come from the future!" "I made a deal with the devil, woman!" "The World Cup of 78' will be played in Argentina!" "It'll all be organized by the army!" "You know what else?" "We'll be champions!" "What are you laughing about, stupid girl?" "You want more?" "Argentina will win two Oscars!" "Two!" "The last one will be won in 2010, By a movie directed by a bald man." "Have sex!" "Fuck a lot!" "Fuck, fuck!" "AIDS is coming, and you won't be able to fuck!" "I know what I'm telling you!" "What this kid doesn't know is that, to the people, if you play it crazy you are crazy." "That's why the old woman in blue called the cops." "And from the police station, straight to the loony bin." "I'm 63 years old." "I come from the year 2011." "I'm not crazy." "In 1983, we the radicals will win the elections, led by Don Raul Ricardo Alfonsin." "But be careful, don't vote for the alliance." "I know what I'm talking about." "You can be happy now, Ernestito." "You're in a quiet place, full of couches, men in white who are very nice." "They'll give you nice pills." "Now you'll be calmer." "Yes, huge pills." " You..." " We?" "Who?" "You make me sick, all of you." "But there are a lot of you." "That's your advantage." "You pile up the busses, you kneel at the churches." "You work, you gather for your off springs." "But I am different." "I'm ugly." "Dirty." "I'm harmful." "I'm afraid, doctor." "Being crazy is horrible." "But, I'm not crazy." "It's much much worse." "I'm deeply saddened." "Ernesto, can you hear me?" "Would you like a candy?" "Rest for a while, we'll continue shortly." "I'll be right back." "Yes, yes..." "He's right, the nurse." "Rest for a while, Ernestito." "You know what, dude?" "You're technically crazy." "Because you've lost it all." "Everything, besides reason." "That's what your Medical history says, baby." "Crazy." "Hey, stop!" "Ernesto!" "Suicides, no." "They aren't allowed in our deal." "They don't count." "You considered suicide to evade yourself..." "You poor innocent, you..." "The pain one feels when one kills himself is endless." "First a sharp strike." "Then your skull cracks." "And pain, pain, pain." "At a very slow motion, with an extreme intensity." "Dumb people think that you feel nothing." "They couldn't be more wrong." "Before you die when you commit suicide, there's an eternity of pain." "No one can imagine that." "But why me?" "Why not?" "Come on..." "Drink a little mate." "What are you stirring it for, dumbass?" "How many people were saved thanks to mate?" "More than one man didn't kill himself because he still had mate tea left." "All right..." "Back to our business." "It's been 2 years, 7 months, 5 days and 10 hours." "Let's say that you owe me... 7 years," "25 days and 14 hours." "Fucking Spaniard." "No..." "I can't go on." "I'm out." "Impossible." "You can't." "You used to complain about the lack of opportunities..." "Well, it just so happens that you still owe 7 years to this fucking Spaniard, and you'll fulfill your part of the deal." "Then I'll fulfill my part." "The million dollars." "As I should." "But, we'll make a little change." "Now, I'll decide to which year you'll go to fulfill our deal once and for all." "I'm fed up with you." "My aunt, my grandma, my mom." "Poor things." "It gives me such a heartache." "They were good, but they wasted their lives for nothing." "My mom, all her life, cutting hair in a shitty hairdresser salon." "He looks so serious..." "That's disturbing." "They are all dead." "Maybe he's hungry, poor Ernestito." "That's like Chinese torture." "All the time in the world and nothing to do." "Just to think, think and think." "To rack my brain." "Complete impotence." "iI need to hold on." "I need to hold on." "Fuck, I'm hungry." "Oh, no..." "Time to suck my mom's tits again." "Terrible..." "Only children can withstand the dictatorship of adults because they consider their parents to be gods." "Cruelty, violence, humillations..." "Children take it as a natural thing." "What do we say?" "Happy Birthday to you..." "Happy birthday, dear Ernestito..." "Happy Birthday to you." "It's been 6 years of this horror." "Just one year left to fulfill the deal." "This is hell." "The teacher says that I'm a weird kid." "How could I not be weird, if I am 63 years old?" "Conceal." "Hide it all the time." " What's the matter, Zambrana?" " I don't feel so well." "I've got a bellyache." "Adolf Hitler mows the lawn." "You decided to let the jew be for a little while?" "The jew is me, naturally." "Today, on September 5th, 1955 you'll die electrocuted." "I don't know if the teacher bought the bellyache act." "Or if any excuse is good to get me out of her sight." "Whatever." "I'm here to watch the show." "What a motherfucking sadist father you are." "Psychological torture and mostly physical." "Your favorite kind." "There you go, put them in." "Stick your fingers in the button." "And?" "There, he's dead." "Bye, dad." "I also said "Bye, dad" to my old man." "I was raised in my dad"s Soviet Union." "Death doesn't change people." "It's been 40 years since my old man's death and he's still the same bastard." "But..." "Somehow, we love each other." "We even made up." "That's why I added this scene." "Ernesto fulfilled his part." "He relived what was left of his childhood, day by day, hour after hour, every single minute," "seconds by seconds." "As best as he could, he completed the deal." "I feel close to Ernesto." "Like a brother." "Not even the most feared despots of human history have the harmful power that a man as dull, bitter and stingy as Ernesto has." "This guy fascinates me." "Let me introduce you to Ernesto." "My new masterpiece." "Give me a Michigan Lights." "It took you a while..." "Where did you go to?" "To the store, where else?" "Get the bill." "What a face..." "You look different." "I've got two news to give you." "A good one, and a bad one." "The good one..." "Is that I've got million dollars here." "They are for you." "All your problems are solved." "The bad one..." "Is that I'm leaving." "I'm leaving you." "Be calm." "I am the problem." "All the animals, except humans, are immortals." "Because they ignore death." "For humans, everything carries the weight of randomness and unrecoverableness." "By the way, dear Rosita, are you sure the money's in the suitcase?" "I wouldn't trust guys like him." "Anyway, what's really terrible, what's incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal." "Bye, asshole, that's it." "Take a hike." ""Darling, I'm going out for cigarettes and I'll be right back"" "is in fact that's the same old story but told in a different way." "He also never came back." "It's like a dead pig, walking, all rotten." "Ernestito could say "Even my mediocrity was robbed from me," "I don't even care about money anymore. "" "As time passes, I'm more and more convinced that having a birthday is a sure sign that a person is a villain." "I'd refer to a man's different ages as concentration camps" "Every year that passes is one additional layer of electrified barbed wire." "Thirty is Auschwitz." "I mean it." "Turn right in 80 meters." "Turn right in 300 meters." "Park on the right lane." "Tomorrow, at 6 o'clock." "I couldn't understand a thing of what he said." "A salad, an apple and nothing else." "...which means, reaching the ontological meaning of the object." "Using criticism to discover the limits of metaphysics." "Are you still with me?" "No, you're not." "I'll explain it to you as if you were in the kindergarten, maybe that way you'll get it:" "Take anything, from a slice of pizza to a poodle." "But don't look at it as a pet, or as food." "Instead, look at it as something that simply is"." "It's essence, it's transcendent properties..." "This microphone, do we have to say that it's a microphone?" "Wouldn't it be more correct to say that, strictly speaking, what we have here is a lot of molecules?" "Excuse me, may I?" "I love this one." "Crude and cultured:" "Extra crude." "Problems?"
