"Listen, Aldo..." "The lads and I have been thinking..." "Are you coming back when it stops raining?" "You work till 8." "If you don't like it, you know what you can do." "I was reading in "Hunting and Fishing"... that the Rumanian diving team has a Chinese coach..." " who applies "energy body regulation. "" "What's that?" "The regulation of the body's energy." "It's a question of applying all pre and post-competition procedures to get the right energy balance so they enter the water just right." "There are 5 girls who compete in the team." "Plus 10 men who have sex with them 72 and 24 hrs before they compete." "And when the competition's over they are fucked again... so they release residual lactic acid and don't get stiff." "How do they choose the guys... the ones who..." " accompany them?" " I don't know." " Where's the other semifinal?" " Colegiales-Montserrat, in 15 days." " Are they physical education teachers?" " It's very soon." "I don't know..." "Let's ask the magazine." "I'm game." " Me too." " The more you screw the better." "We could get in trouble." "Excuse me." " Hello?" " Hello, Aldo, I'm Dr. Simon." " Are you at home?" " No, I'm training." "I have a lady interested in a property like yours..." " and she's certain to rent." " We can see it when you like." " Could it be today?" "She's in a hurry." " No, we publish at weekends." "But she saw the ad today and rang." "She looks like a good candidate." "No, I can't be available just any time." " Or we can do what we like." " No, what we should do." "I'll send her to you." "Shall I see you on Tuesday?" "See you on Tuesday." "WHO SAYS IT'S EASY?" "They were 2 rooms but the last occupants knocked down the wall." "I was going to put it back up but they said it'be better this way." "No, it's nice like that..." " All it needs is paint." " I've just painted it all." " Yes, but beige?" " Yes, now you get it already mixed." "Before you had to do it yourself." "How much are you asking?" "Before we talk about "money" I'd like to mention other points." " My guarantor in Buenos Aires is trustworthy." " Plural." " The ad said one." " I'd prefer 2." "My experience with guarantors hasn't been good." " How many of you will be living here?" " Two." " What do you do?" " I'm a photographer." "Pets are not allowed." "I've had lots of trouble with pets." "My lawyers have the co-ownership rules if you'd like to read them." "How much is the rent?" "Not what the ad says." "What the ad says, or we would've said less, don't you think?" "Why not give it some thought before renting?" "Come and see it with your husband, then we can discuss it." "Photographer?" "Married?" " Good tits?" " Yeah, I could handle them..." "You're a fast one." "I bet you're going to get stuck in there." "Lay off." "She only came to see it." "She hasn't got money; if I ask her for a pay slip she'll drop dead." "I read in the paper that married women are the biggest whores." "It didn't say "whore," it said "sexually active. "" "It also said being a swinger is more and more common." "That's for gays." "You end up getting it up as well." "I'm just saying it's what's going on." " Hello." " Hi, there." "I'm Andrea." "The money's OK and I'm getting a second guarantor." "When can we sign?" " Is everybody here?" " Yes." "Go through, please." "Residents in the building are prohibited from... a) using it for immoral purposes or activities... or for purposes other than those mentioned in the co-ownership rules;" "b) disturbing the neighbours with loud noise, or in any other form;... c) performing activities that may affect the security of the building or storing merchandise that may damage the building." "D)The hours between 10 pm and 8 am are considered hours of rest." "Stop playing with the ball, please!" "E) Garbage shall be left for collection between 7 and 8 pm." "Congratulations, Aldo." "Thank you." "But..." " Excuse me." " I told you not to move on a weekday." "But I got hold of a van today." " Would you believe it..." " Give me that." "Let's see..." "Sorry." "I'll take..." "A '95 model." "Air conditioning, power steering." "Automatic windows, sliding roof." "The owner doesn't need the money now." "You just give me your car." " Why would I want to change my car?" " It's a good opportunity, Dad." "I've had this since it was brand new." "I know it inside out." "It's never let me down." "Why would I want to pay more each month?" "Licence plate, insurance..." " The brakes gave out the other day." " So?" "Do I have to change the car every time something stops working?" " Hello." " Sorry..." " are you burning an incense stick?" " Yes." "The thing is I'm allergic." " But that's not in the regulations." " You're right..." " But could you put it out?" " Yes, right now." "Here..." "I've put it out." "Feeling better?" "Let's see... breathe in." " That's it." " Yes, I'm better." "Good..." " Thank you." " Not at all." "FRIDAY:" "MEATBALLS SATURDAY:" "PIZZA-PASTIES" " Hello." "Yes?" " Morning." "Sorry, you called yesterday about the bathroom." "Ah, yes, come in." "I need you to fix it." "Come through." "I'll be right with you in two minutes." "Take a seat." " The house has certainly changed." " For better or worse?" " What does the owner think?" " No... for better..." "Good photos, huh?" "See?" "This was already broken and wasn't on the inventory." "And this is too short so it's a real mess." "OK." "OK, OK." "I'll see what I can do, and I'll give it you..." "I'll fit it..." "I mean, the stick." "It's a figure Of speech..." "I gotta go." "Hang on..." " Can I ask you something?" " What?" "I just saw something..." "a picture I liked and..." "Would you mind if I asked to take some photos of you?" "What sort of photos?" "Artistic ones." "Ones with certain aesthetic value." "No, look, another time, I've got to go to work." " They're black and white." " Of course..." "Because they're cheaper, right?" "No, I like black and white." "You can play with light and shade..." "Yes, but the photo of naked people in the street is in colour." "I didn't take that one." "A friend of mine did." "And what do you use?" "Computers for the tricks?" "No, real people." "Come in." "Come on in." "Make yourself comfortable." "Ah, OK." "Here." "Sit here." "Do you work out?" "Why do you ask?" "Well, because you have a very well worked body." "I have a routine." "Nothing special." "Gym... sometimes football." "I like sports mostly." "Me too." "I'm not doing anything right now." "You've probably been told you've got a beautiful nose." "Actually I don't remember hearing that adjective used for my nose." "It grew suddenly, when I was 12." "Excuse me." "And those eyes, that slant downwards?" "No, no, relax." "That's it." "Let's see... there." "Can I kiss you?" "Where?" "To start with, I'd like to kiss you on the mouth." "Yes, of course." " What time does your husband arrive?" " I don't have a husband." "I thought that dark guy was your husband." "He's a friend." " So who's your husband?" " I don't have one." "You said there'd be two in the apartment." "That's right;" "my son and myself." " I didn't know you had a son." " Yes, he's on his way." " When will he arrive?" " In about six months." " Where is he now?" " Here..." "There." " You're pregnant?" " Entering my fourth month." " What about the father?" "Everything OK?" " He doesn't have a father." "Is that it?" "Yes." "Very good, very good." " Do you want to go to the bathroom?" " No, I live next door." "Anyway, a bathroom without a toilet isn't a bathroom." "Why do you want a toilet just to wash?" " Do I look dirty?" " No, if you're not bothered." "Excuse me, I want to go home;" "I'm tired." "The ballcock." " The ballcock?" " Yes." "I don't think it can be fixed but..." "No, it can't be fixed... no way." "I read an article that said that after her third month... a pregnant woman is sexually at her best." " Well, well." " My cousin... met up again with an ex-girlfriend who's pregnant." "He says she's like an insatiable bitch on heat." "Your cousin's a degenerate." "In the realm of desire we're all tempted." "Well, let's try this." " What about the milk?" " What do you mean?" "That if you suck a tit you get milk." "But a nipple distinguishes if the mouth is a baby's or an adult's." " How come?" " It's one thing to suck for hunger and another for pleasure." "And if I suck a nipple at 5 pm without having had lunch?" "It's not real milk, you can't put it in your coffee." "And her husband?" "No husband." "No?" "Wasn't she married?" " He's dead." " Dead?" "A friend told me he's really getting it on with..." " a young widow; she really goes." " What did he die of?" "It appears he was a coloured guy who she'd just moved in with." "He went to shower and as the floor was made of varnished wood... he slipped and got the end of a plunger up his eye." "Nooo!" "What killed him?" "The haemorrhage, the bleeding." "I think I saw it on TV." "A squatter?" "What?" "Hasn't she paid the rent?" "She's no squatter then." "A tenant who starts off lying is a big problem, right?" "She didn't have to mention her pregnancy." "Her legal duty is to pay on time, which she is." "We can't use that." " She didn't keep the house as she received it." " How?" " She covered the wall in drawing pins." " Drawing pins?" "She only has to return the house in two years' time in the same state." "It's time, we'll have to stop here." "See you on Tuesday, Aldo?" " See you Tuesday." " Till Tuesday." "How's the fastest cowboy on the planet?" "Fine, fine." " You owe me something." " Hasn't the plumber come?" "Yes, he was here." "Are you going to attend to me here?" "I'm not going to attend to you." "I had a very long day." "Well, listen, here's the rent." "And I I'm having a housewarming on Saturday." "Music." "It's OK on Saturdays, isn't it?" "Well, come if you like;" "you're invited." "Bye." "I won't be able to make it." " Hello." " It's not I can't sleep..." "I'm bouncing around in bed like The Exorcist." "If she's not interested in living by the rules she'll have to move!" " I need proof." " You'll get it!" " Anyway, see you Tuesday." " Tuesday." " Yes!" " I'm looking for Andrea." "Yes, come in." "Have you seen Andrea?" "Hi!" "The music's too loud!" "Come with me, come on." "Glad you could come." "Come with me." " Wait!" " Do you like this?" "Help me with the drinks." "Mix and give it a try." "Here's the vodka..." "OK?" "I'll be right back..." "Don't eat them all!" "Know what's in them?" "Chocolate, butter and flour." "A peach one, folk." "Thirty seconds." "Twenty seconds!" "Bye, neighbour." "A great party!" "Very loud music." " Cheers." " Bye, then." "Don't forget the rates are due on Monday." " What?" " On the 7th." " I'll need proof of payment." " Alright." "I told you I can't." "For once in my life." "Hurry up, there are 3 cars waiting!" "I can't, I said." "I'm asking you just this once." "Boss, will you help with the Gol?" "No, I have to teach now." "I can't." "Well, I don't know." "What for?" "No!" "Yes, that one, come on!" "How many girlfriends did you have before mum, Dad?" "Two." "And things were good with mum?" "Yes, things were good." "And also when mum was expecting me?" "Yeah, things were good." "I must go." "I have to get things ready for tomorrow." "Betty could come over on Saturday." "I don't need her at home." "No, that's OK." " Guess who went to the carwash the other day?" " Who?" "Remember my guitar teacher?" "Cristina." "Cristina?" " What was she doing there?" " Having her car washed, I guess." " How is she?" " Fine, I guess." "Did she recognize you?" "Did she ask you any questions?" " I saw her from a distance." " Did she look good?" "Does she still look smart?" "PREMATURE EJACULATION:" "A PROBLEM WITH A SOLUTION" " Good morning, Aldo." " Good morning, Betty." "Well, I'm off." " Until Thursday, Betty." " Until Thursday." "Hello." "Hello." "What a coincidence!" " Long time no see." "How's life?" " Fine." "Things are going very well." "I can't complain." "It's not just because of me." "I give a lot and things are good." "In general, things are going very well, thank God." "$41." " Don't you have $1?" " No..." "I'll have to owe you." " No problem." "Next time..." " OK." " OK, bye." " Hang on, are you going home?" " Yes." " Wait and I'll give you a hand." "What are you going to do with the hoop?" " You like basketball." " No, I can't sit still so with my belly..." "I try to do something relaxing." "And it seems you like dancing?" "Dancing like art is a very thick trunk with countless ramifications." "But if you ask me, "salsa" is one of my favourites." "Not merengue, or lambada, or music from Rio..." "Salsa... just salsa." " You dance very well too." " Yes..." "I had a few classes with some Puerto Ricans." " But I'm really quite shy." " You don't know what shyness is." "$124." "You're weird, huh?" " Why weird?" " Men usually change... after some sexual contact; they're less uptight, more relaxed." "They no longer have this fixed idea, so they're not such wankers." " And why weird?" " That change didn't happen to you." "You're attaching too much importance to a simple screw..." "Well, if you can call that a screw." "I'm sure your dad didn't teach you to talk like that." "All I remember of him is his back." "As there is a contractual relationship between us... as tenant proprietor..." " Will you stay for maté?" " No..." "I don't want... what happened between us to confuse the relationship I said we had..." " You don't see your dad very often?" " He went to Germany..." " with a girlfriend when I was 3." " Wait, I'll leave my bags here." " Have you got any tools?" " Yes." "And your mother?" "We don't get on very well but we see each other." " And why are you alone?" " So many questions, like an interrogation." " You make me curious." " Curiosity killed the "man"." " And makes a woman pregnant." " Lf the man doesn't come first." "The first to score has the right to ask." "Go on." "Ladies first." " You happy with life?" " Yes." "Things are going well;" "I can't complain." "And it's not just luck." "I do my best to make things turn out right." "On the whole, things're going well." "Thank God." "And thanks to me too." " What went on between you and the black guy?" " Nothing." "He's a friend." "I met him taking photos soon after I came back." " Where were you?" " You mean in the last 15 years?" "Seven in Mexico, three in Chicago, three in Brazil and two in Spain." "Have you got kids?" "No, not for now." " You don't like them?" " Yes, but the chance hasn't arrived." "And your parents?" "I see my dad every Sunday and my mum died when I was a kid... while she was preparing me a Nesquik in the kitchen." "She died suddenly." "Girlfriend?" "Not for now." " Been in a relationship?" " Two." "Well... only one steady." "But we didn't live together, except at weekends." "Well, it just didn't work out." "I can't force things either... because I really have to believe in it." "And to believe in it I need..." "to have a vision..." " Understand?" " No..." "I need to be able to see myself with that person..." " No, this is bullshit." "You'll laugh." " No, go on!" "I have to see myself as an old man with that person who's old too... but we're both happy and having fun;" "I reckon that it's... a vision of two old folks who are happy but it hasn't happened yet." " What about you?" "Previous relationships?" " 24." "I meant with people you married or lived with." "Yes, 24." "But never married." " Everything OK with the father?" " I told you:" "I've been alone for over two years." "He doesn't have a father." " Really?" " He doesn't have a father." " But he must be somebody's." " He's mine." "I mean... doesn't he have a biological father?" "He and I have an unbeatable relationship:" "We never... see each other because I don't know who he is." "What are you laughing at?" "That's impossible." "What do you mean you don't know who he is?" "It's perfectly possible, I really don't know." "A man may not know he has a kid, but how can a woman not know?" "Yes, well, you're right." "So, a woman can get pregnant and not know whose it is." "That's what happened to me." " Speaking to her is relaxing." " When a woman speaks she wants sex." " Wasn't she attractive?" " I find her relaxing." "Now we're like neighbours, and get on OK." "We know each other, I know what she's like." "That's all I need." " Everything's above board too and she pays the rent." " Good for you!" " Anyway, she's not a woman you can trust." " How come?" "I don't know, I don't like her." "She seems..." "Too laid back, too free." "Very free." "Can't we meet this little widow so we can relax a bit too?" " Lf we win on Tuesday, is the semifinal here too?" " Yes." "Shouldn't we give it a bit of paint, change a few things?" " Why?" " I don't know... it looks sad, old." " But the track's OK." " But it needs a bit of life." " Life?" " Life?" "Yes." "Life." " Good morning, sir." " Morning, Betty." "I have a bit of a health problem, nothing serious." "Everyone gets scared immediately." "But no..." "I'm having treatment that's almost a question of aesthetic... no... yes." "The thing is for this treatment, or course..." "I'm following for this "minor problem", I need your helping hand." "The first part of the treatment you can do alone... but for the second part you need some help." "They say it's like flight simulators for pilots." "Situations of risk are simulated without you actually running... the risks." "Do you follow me?" "Slow down." "The exercise has to be done slowly." "Anxiety is the basic feature for those of us who have this problem." "The idea's to separate the sensation of anxiety from sexual arousal." "When the "fire" appears, we have to stop." "Tickle, control, tickle..." "Those are the instructions..." "Stop it!" "Shall we continue?" "My hand hurts, sir." "Yes?" "I'm Griselda, Andrea's friend." "Sorry, I know it's late." "We need help." "Could you help us?" "It won't start and we can't find a taxi." "Don't touch anything, give me the key." "Hi." "How are things?" "The fuel tank's empty." "Let's see..." "Come here." "Fucking hell!" "Cut it out, girls, please!" "If the police stops us, my fire extinguisher is out of date." "Come on, please!" "You can do what you like later." "No, it's OK, go on... no problem." "For me, uh..." "lesbianism..." "Do as you please." " Are you sure it's here?" " Yes, it's here." "I was scared, didn't know if it was serious or..." "No, just premature contractions; it's not serious." "Sometimes they just happen, other times... it may be the result of a stressful situation... or anything." "Don't worry at all." "It often happens." " It'll pass." " OK." " OK?" " Yes." " Don't worry." " Thanks." " Down here." " Yes." "Don't worry." " Did you sleep well?" " So so." "If can't sleep well there are some homeopathic pills I can give you." " I was a little anxious." " Take these herbal medicines." "Well, nothing serious." " No?" " No." " Did you have sex more violently than usual?" " When?" "In the last 24 hrs." " No." " Carry on with the little globules." "Don't worry." "If you're in peace, the baby's in peace." " Sing to him." "Don't forget." " No." "You'll see how your voice calms him down when he's born." "The most important thing now is to get rest." "No demands, no stress." "Alright?" "Come and see me in a week." "The body speaks." "Right now it wants rest, and for you to keep still." "Both your body and your head have a lot to assimilate." "You won't be the same person you were before you were pregnant." "It's not easy to assimilate." "Give me a kiss." "Thanks!" " Bye." " Thanks." "Goodbye." "Bye." "Bye." "Thanks, neighbour." "I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow." "Make me a list." "It's no problem for me if it's not too much." "No, thanks." "That won't be necessary." "Don't leave your bed." "Lf you need me, here, call me or bang on the wall." "Thanks." " Good morning, sir." " Good morning, Betty." "Right, I'm off." "By the way, could you sew on the button of my beige shirt?" "And I wanted to say you've been a great help to me." "I've noticed significant changes." "And remember the last stage of the treatment is on Friday." "It's penetration in its natural habitat, if that's OK with you." "My husband has no problem with it." "Ah, that's good." "OK, thank you." "The time's alright, right?" "I prefer the evening... 'cause I'm more relaxed." "I thought you could put a sheet aside..." "Maybe the blue one with the hole in it." "I'll get it." " See you Thursday, Betty." " See you Thursday." "Evo!" "Can you take over till we close?" "I got things to do." "Is that OK?" " Hello." " Hello, sorry..." "I'm going to the supermarket, buying for one is the same as for two." "Look." "Look at that..." "Didn't you like it?" " How are things, faggot?" " Hello, how are you?" " Alright?" " Yes..." "Fine." "What are you doing here?" " Shopping." " Us too." "Are you queuing to pay?" " No, I still have a few things..." " What?" " They're for my tenant." " Ah, the widow?" " What widow?" " What do you mean?" "Your tenant, the one who helps you relax." "She had a problem, had to rest and I'm doing her shopping." " Do you have to out it in for her, too?" " Here, look." "I think these are more absorbent." "No, these are only for periods, just like these." "But the "Carefree" ones are for everyday use." " How's the tummy been these days?" " Fine." " Did you take your little "lobules"?" " Globules." " Do you want more pie?" " No, thanks." "This pie's horrible." " At times I wonder what my mum would of been like." " Would "have" been." "What she would have been like..." "If she was alive." "I imagine she would've been affectionate, or maybe not." "We all idealise." "Shall I peel it?" "Excuse me." "After 7:40 pm we're not doing any more cars." "Sorry." " Hello." " Yes, sorry..." "There's something I'd like to talk about." "Can I come in?" "Do you mind if we change the bulbs in the passage for low-energy ones?" "That's fine." "Whatever you say." "I can't splash out but..." "And I wanted to know if you needed anything." "No, I'm fine." "Thanks." "I can't bear seeing you alone, with nobody to help you." "Can I open up?" "Yes." " Is this to wash?" " No, don't bother, Aldo." " Yes or no?" " Yes, I'll take it to the launderette." "Who do you think did the washing and shopping when my mother died?" "My dad could hardly work." "When I was 8, I used to wake him up with his breakfast all ready." "That's bad." "Didn't it annoy you that he couldn't do that?" "You can't get annoyed over something without a solution." " Can I ask you a question?" " Yes." "This photo of the people in the street... what do they do then?" "You can't tell me they get dressed and all go home." "Don't know if I want to hear I'll be OK or that I must rest till I'm 90." "You better think about hiring someone because another week..." "OK, come on." "We're going to be late and at 7 I have to be there." "No, hang on." "What's up?" "No, I can't." "Everything's going to be fine, promise." "If you get any more contractions, let me know." "And if you have sex, please be careful." "Alright?" "Unless it's with me." "Look, look at her little face." "See?" "Lts eyes, nose, mouth." "Its hands, the fingers, there are ten of them." "Can you see anything?" "Come here." "Come here." "Get a little closer." "Look..." "There's the face." "The mouth." "Ah, now I see it." "I can see something." " It moves a lot, can you feel it?" " Yes, yes." "Can this equipment tell the colour of the baby's skin?" "Why?" "No, just to know if everything's OK." "It's fine, don't worry." "Everything's fine." "Sorry." "What is it?" "Do you want to know?" " Do you?" " No..." "No... yes..." "I think so." "Now I feel like it but I don't know." "I haven't bought it anything yet." "Yes, go on." "Well, you can go ahead and buy some underpants XL, the boy's got it all." "It's a boy." " It's amazing, isn't it?" " Yes, yes." "In a class of its own." "Well, it's time for me to take my leave." "You too are in a class of your own, Andrea." "I love you." "No, Aldo, no..." "Let's not get conf..." "Aldo, hey!" "Here goes!" "Now, now, now." "Come on, Dad, It's go for a drink." "Hang on, they're coming for this in a minute." " You know the girl I rent to?" " Yes, what's up?" "I think I love her." "Her and her baby." "Wouldn't you like to be a grandad?" "I'd like to meet her." "Let's suppose the proprietor and the tenant have... have some kind of encounter." "What does the proprietor do?" "Does he take the rent or not?" "There is no case law here." "The law is one thing, the dick is another." "By the way, if it wasn't the proprietor who got her pregnant... does he have to support the child too?" "No, not if he's not the biological father." "Unless he adopts it." "Although there are witnesses to the fact that he took her to the doctor?" "No, no." "Unless a DNA test proves the contrary." "You know what?" "She's not what she seems at first sight." " But as we've joined the 2 houses I don't know if now..." " What?" "She with a hammer, me with a mallet." "You've knocked the wall down?" "No, that's madness..." "You should go with the plans of the reforms, and once approved... do a new title deed." "It becomes just one unit." "Even the selling price changes." "You can check that with the notary in the studio." "That's included in the monthly fee." "Don't be an asshole." "Time's up." "That's all for today." "I'll see you on Tuesday." "I was thinking that maybe we could end these meetings." "If I have a problem I'll call you and pay you for the consultation." "We should continue the weekly meetings." "We've only just started." " I'll see you on Tuesday." " See you Tuesday." " Good morning, sir." " Good morning, Betty." " Good morning." " How are you?" " How's life?" " Enjoy your breakfast." " Thank you." "Could I have a word, sir?" "Are you coming?" " Yes, what is it?" " I rang your bell on Friday." "Yes, I'm sorry, I couldn't let you know." "And on Saturday I'm going to Luján, but if you need me next Friday..." " I could." " I don't think..." "I can make it this Friday." " Are you stopping the treatment?" " Yes, I am for now." "Would you like me to ask the Virgin?" "For the gentleman where I work... she cured his impotence, and he had an erection for hours." "The Virgin must be much too busy." "Forget it." "Don't you want to try on the one I bought you?" "Why, don't you like the way I'm dressed?" "Yes, I wanted to see what you look like in this." "No, my love, another day." "Don't you like what I'm wearing?" " It's not that." " I'll take it off if you want." "The meat... it's burning..." "So am I." " Oh, no!" " Hold on, can I ask you a favour?" " Yes, what?" " No, no, it's OK." " Come on, what!" " I wondered if you wouldn't mind..." "It's not for me, but for you..." "Can't you take that stud out of your nose?" "It might be rusty." "Tetanus is no joke, especially for the baby." "They'll remove it... in the operating room." "Metal is not allowed." "I'm having the baby here at home, is that clear?" " Yes, of course." "I was saying it for you." " That's fine." "Let's go." "Congratulations, it's very good." " Don't you want to try some meat?" " No, thanks." "Could you pass me the salt, please." "I played with the Anconetani Brothers, you know." " Famous accordion players, uh..." " I've already told her, Dad." "We've been on TV and everything." "When did you buy this cutlery?" "It's mine." "Well, I'd like to... propose a toast for the arrival of Andrea." "She's an amazing, beautiful woman." "And also for..." "We don't know yet." "For..." "little Roberto?" " Cheers." " Cheers." "Cheers." "Have you not have a girlfriend for a long time?" "Well, I..." "I'm a widower." "Yes, I know, but that was 30 years ago, wasn't it?" " Did I said something wrong?" " No, no..." "You're so handsome you shouldn't find it so hard to meet someone." " I have some friends I could introduce you to." " But I'm retired." "I'll fetch more bread." "So you're a photographer." " Yes." " That's great." "Would you let me take some photos of you?" "Photos?" "What kind of photos?" "No, portraits." " Yes..." " Well, I'll drink..." " to that." "To my father-in-law." " And I to my daughter-in-law." " Cheers." " Cheers." "And I want to thank you for this wonderful news." "We'll fix you up with somebody." "It's hard to start over after you lose the person you love most." "Stop it, Dad." "You feel as if you could never be with anyone again." "I congratulate you." "I know it's not easy to begin a new relationship as a widow." "I tried it but couldn't." "But they were other times." "You're very brave, you are." "Don't you want to see how the baby's room is coming along?" "Yes, yes." "Aldo, what the fuck did you tell your dad?" " What about?" " About the baby's father." "Oh, he asked me who the biological father was." "And what did you say?" "I said the relationship was over... that as far as you were concerned, he was dead..." "I think he thought he really "was" dead." " So it was a misunderstanding?" " Yes." " You must clear it up with him." " Sure." "Tomorrow, you can tell your dad I'm no widow." "Is that clear?" "Very clear." "And you can remove those ridiculous elephants from the baby's room." "Alright." "I'll paper everything with Avedon photo's." "Avedon?" "Who's Avedon?" "What does it sound like?" "An ex-boyfriend." "You're hopeless, Aldo." " But you love me just a little, don't you?" " A little." "Give me a kiss." "You lied to him because I was alone, I wasn't with anyone." "So go and tell him the truth." " Yes, of course." "Don't worry." " OK." "How long does a "constriction" last?" "FOR SALE IMPECCABLE CONDITION" " Waiter!" " Why do you have to give birth like the Indians?" "With all the scientific advances..." "In some hospitals women are tied up so... they don't disturb while giving birth." "Babies are born all the same at home." "They're just quieter." "I don't need to be shaved, or given a drip." "The baby is not taken away as soon as it's born." " Everyone goes to a clinic for a reason." " But I'm not everyone." " And if something happens to the baby?" " Nothing will, lay off a bit!" "I want to feel my baby emerging." "Anyway, why do they have to force me to give birth lying down?" "Waiter." "Hospitals are places governed by arbitrary actions." "When you talk like that it's like a referee giving me a red card." "Why don't you think it over?" "Waiter, waiter!" "Yes, tell me." "I'm sorry." "He'll have the vegetable pasta with mushroom sauce... and for me, it's the "polenta gratin" with eggplant and tomato." "Thank you." "BABY ON BOARD" "No, hang on, not there." "Slowly..." "No... not there!" "Andrea..." "Hello, my love." "What's up?" " What's up?" " Shall we stop?" " What's wrong with you?" " Cheeta's going back to work." " Tell me when you finish with King Kong." " Wait!" " I don't understand you." " A I don't understand..." " how you can..." " How I can what?" "How you can work so freely with someone... stark naked!" "It's a job I'm doing with a friend." "Are you jealous?" "What's the matter?" " Tell me, Andrea, is..." " Is... what?" " Is he or isn't he?" " Lf he's gay or not?" " Lf he's the father, if there's something between you and him!" " No!" "If you find me with someone I had an affair with, I'll tell you." "Don't you realise I'm with you, and only with you." "Don't be so disrespectful." "I'm the one who's being treated disrespectfully." "You've criticised everything I do." "I can't take it." "The clothes I wear, the stud in my nose, if I cook or don't cook." "And now my work?" "If you love me, stop doing things that put distance between us." "Chickenshit!" "Hello." "I've realised there are many things I don't understand right now... but I also believe I trust you." "Well, that's all..." "I wanted to tell you that;... that I trust you." "And that I don't want to make you cry." " Why are you crying?" " Because I'm sick of your lies!" "Hold it a minute." "How can you shout at me like that?" " For once I start to believe in someone!" " I don't understand." "I'm sick of your "I don't understand"!" "What are you talking about?" "What the fuck are you getting at with this story of my dead husband?" " Has my dad been back?" " Your dad?" "Esteban and José... spent 2 hrs trying to convince me... my husband did not get what he needed, because he'd never have died from a plunger in the eye!" " Don't shout so!" " "Don't shout so" my ass!" "I'm the one with the balls in this house!" "Don't shout so." "You don't care a damn who the baby's father is." "You may not care, but I do!" "I don't know who he is!" "What does it matter?" "You don't really know yours either." " You don't know and you don't care!" " Why do you care if I don't care!" "I can't care about something you don't care about." "Think, so when people ask I can answer with a full name!" "Grow up!" "What are we going to tell the baby when he grows up?" " The truth." " Which is?" "That I don't know who the biological father is... and when I tried to find out I knew it was impossible." "It's too much for me." "Think back." "Do it for me." "I would if I could, but believe me, I can't." "It doesn't even have to be the one." "We'll choose one and say it was him." "You kidding?" "When people ask, I can't say "She doesn't know"." "That's when people begin to imagine any thing." "I find that obscene." "Tell me something:" "What's more obscene?" "Me telling you how it is I can't find out who the father is... or you reading the obsessions your head has created to avoid life?" "Was it at a party?" "An experience with glue, magic mushrooms..." "A Shaman in a forest, hallucinating, taking drugs..." " with AZT..." " LSD." "Whatever you say." "Some... alternative drug-based therapy?" "There's a lot of that in Europe." "You're a wanker." "A gang bang?" "Watch what you say!" "You lie to your dad and friends because I embarrass you!" "I thought this could be different." "But I don't want it to be different." "I'm happy with it being normal." "I'm one of those who gets up in the morning to go to work." "Dressed." "Where a man plays the role of a man." "Where doctors wear lab coats and babies are born in hospitals." "This is how my life is and I try to live it as best as I can." "I don't need to take things to feel good or escape from city to city... or place my hopes in Tarot cards or an astral chart." "The difference is I never wanted to change you..." " or lie about who I am." " I don't do that." "You lie about your couple, you lie about who you are." " I don't understand." " See?" "You don't understand." "You're on the defensive." "Some things cannot be changed, we're adults now." "God, how stupid I am!" "I was happy as I was..." "How do I know you won't be sleeping with 40 guys tomorrow?" "The same way I don't know if you'll be killed in an accident tomorrow." "By controlling life you can't be sure of things." "I drive carefully to avoid accidents and I've never had one." "You did it once, you can do it it another 1,000 times. 'Cause you go to parties." "Where I learnt to kiss and not come straight away." "Look, for different reasons... neither of our families was there for us." "I lived by traveling... blindfold, consuming experience as if it were points... on a Wal-Mart card." "And you hid in the bunker of your neighborhood." "I searched in despair and you hid in despair." "On that score we're both equally alone." "I decide to sleep with one." "It's what's happens to me with you." "Can you understand that?" "If I bring up a child, I want it to have the values I believe in." "What are they for you and your crappy neighborhood?" "What name do you call a girl who lives like me?" "A whore?" "Not whore, because whores charge." "In my world, a guy who says that to a pregnant woman is... a bastard." "He should be "man who confronts you with the truth"." "In your area I'd be a bitch on heat... or an uncontrollable nymphomaniac, right?" "Tell me which value box your neighbourhood would place me in." "But after having travelled the world for the last 15 years... and having met many men, none was more disconcerting than you." "In my desire to have someone different at my side..." "I didn't realize I was with the most pathetic, cowardly... ridiculous and impotent individual I'd ever met." "And believe me, I've met many dicks in this world." "Get lost." "Get lost!" "There, there." "Yes?" " Mr. Aldo Liberato?" " Yes." "Who is it?" "A call from the Clinic for you." "Take it easy, Dad." "AM I GOING TO DIE IN THE PRIME OF MY LIFE?" "Aldo..." "How are you?" "Cristina?" "What are you doing here?" "He called me." "After all these years, he called me tell me he... was going to be a grandad." "He went to fetch me at the school... and when I came out, there he was leaning on his Peugeot." "And... he got up... to see me and took a few steps... and began to fall." "But why did he call you?" "Were you still in contact after I gave up the guitar?" "Yes, we carried on until a few months after your mother died." "Carried on?" "We fell in love almost as soon as we met... and when your mum died he became an introvert... he had no strength left to give it a go." "He wanted to hide it." "You believe you're hiding it but you're not." "We all ended up ruining everybody's lives." "You can leave, guys." "This isn't going to stop." "You can leave." "Griselda, what are you doing here?" " Don't go in." "You'll just make it worse." " For whom?" "Andrea..." "Go away, I don't want to see you ever again." "Only a relative can take her at his own risk." "Only I know what she wants." "She can't have him here." "High blood pressure, she needs a caesarean." "When the anaesthetist arrives, we're going to surgery." "Hello?" "Dr. Heinsche?" "Andrea..." "Andrea... we're leaving." " What?" " Yes, we're leaving." " Where to?" " To José's, come on." "Have some rest, dad." " How are you?" " Better, now that you're here." "Good." "Breathe in." "Come on, it's coming, that's it." "Come on, Andrea." " It's going down." " Come on, push, push." "Come on, you can do it, you can do it." "There, very good." "Very good, easy, very good." "Push, come on." "Easy, that's it." "Good, one last push." "There it is!" "Aldo... come in." "Chocolate, give me some chocolate." "Take it easy... easy, we're almost there." "That's it..." "Come on, it's almost there." "Come on, it's coming, it's coming." "Here it is, look!" "Thank goodness you appeared, Thank goodness you convinced me," "Thank goodness you're still here." "Thank goodness we offended each other," "Thank goodness we forgave each other," "Thank goodness we gave ourselves another chance." "Thank goodness we constructed, Thank goodness we decided," "To continue till the very end." "Thank goodness we got it wrong, Thank goodness we got it right," "Thank goodness we began again." "Never leave, forgive what's wrong," "Don't go, don't leave me." "Never leave, forgive what's wrong, Don't go, don't leave me." "Thank goodness we made a bet, We sowed our seeds," "We make each other laugh." "Thank goodness we had fun, like awestruck children," "Thank goodness we can enjoy life together." "Thank goodness we related to each other, impregnated each other," "Thank goodness we penetrated each other." "Never leave, forgive what's wrong, Don't go, don't leave me." "Never leave, forgive what's wrong, Don't go, don't leave me." "Never leave..." "Hi, we're friends of Aldo's." " Aldo." " Come in." "Excuse me." " Griselda, isn't it?" " Yes." "The other day I was thinking we fall in love with people... with the way the people are, with bodies..." " not with men or women, right?" " Yes, yes, of course." "And talking to old fatso here, my friend... we realized we'd both like to give you a good time." "The idea is I'd be in front, and fatso behind and you in the middle." "Then we'd change round, I guess." "Like the idea?" "Today, I'm exhausted, but... we'll be in touch." "She's great... we're going to be OK there."
