"You can begin now." "There's the genie, in front of you." "Ask him your three wishes." "Don't you have to rub the lamp?" "Come on!" "Your biography and three wishes." "Okay." "My name's Eva." "I was born 22 February 19..." "Can we skip the date?" "My name's Chloé." "I was born in the States." "My name's Branca." "And I'm ageless." "All right?" " Should I look at the camera?" " Yes." "My name's Barbara." "I'm forty..." "This is stupid!" "I don't..." " Get on with it!" "I don't like talking about myself." "Here's my first wish." "I want to write an important book." "About what?" "A thesis about erotic passion of the Western woman" "Based on experience?" "On reading..." "And some memories." "That someone whom I want, but who doesn't want me ends up wanting me as I want to be wanted." "Money!" "Loads of money!" "So that I can travel forever and buy myself all kind of things." "Jewellery, caviar, champagne stupid young men with cute little asses..." "Not to die alone." "That's all." "Linda!" "Your three wishes!" "Come on Linda!" "A few days earlier" "Hello." "Oh!" "Truffles!" "Marvelous!" " Just for my best clients." "Anything else?" "Yes." "I'm doing a buffet for twenty." "Tomorrow." "At the TV station." "So, I'll need..." "Oh my god!" "Madame Mayer." "It's... it's just a migraine." " I'll get you some water." ""Why are we different from others?" "Outdoors again, each of us turns away."" "Okay, think about my question again." "When you get the impress.." "I think class is over." "Don't forget the mid-term on Friday!" "Study hard." "Responsibility..." "Responsibility..." "Fuck." "Damned word!" "Responsibility!" "It's not my kind of word." "You haven't got your mouth around it." "Get on stage." "You'll see." "Responsibility is something..." " No, I can't." " Try." "Your lips look like they're asleep." "Try it." "Responsibility is something..." " See?" "!" "Kerouac, On the Road." "Together on the same road. "22 February 1968..." "For Eva from Karl." I can't borrow this?" "You can keep it, if you like." " It's from your husband!" "If he were alive he'd give it to you himself." "Thank you." " What's this?" "They're stones." "For the Museum." "I love stones." "Ridiculous, huh?" " No, not at all." "Sometimes I see them as people." " People?" "What people?" "People I know." "This is my father:" "Strong, almost perfect, a little abstract." "That's a beauty." " It's a rose." "The rose of the desert." "Is it one of your friends?" "Oh, I touched a nerve." "Who is it?" "Thanks for the book." " You're right." "It's none of my business." "Kiss your mom for me." "If someone comes?" " They have to buy a ticket." "Who's there?" " Bravo!" "Fuck!" "Rita!" " Who's Rita?" " My daughter." "Fuck!" "How come you're here?" "I didn't know you were so talented." "Was it for real, or just acting?" "What do you want?" "I waited for you." "You waited for me." " I waited two hours for you." "We had a date..." "I'm sorry." "I just forgot." "But, wait..." "We could still have a coffee." "You should use a condom, Mom." "Happy?" "Satisfied?" "How was I last night?" "Why three o'clock?" "What... three o'clock?" " Why is three o'clock closing time?" "You could've left last night." " It's men who fuck and run." "I can't sleep with a man in bed no more." "Anyway, I've got work." " At this hour?" "Is it that urgent?" "The three-wish thing." " What's wrong?" "It's a catastrophe." "I can't see my way out." "Come back to bed." "I've got some unfulfilled wishes too." "I said three o'clock and you know that's the rule." "Do you really love me?" "Go on!" "Good night!" "And happy birthday!" " Oh yeah." "I forgot." "I'm getting old." "David!" "You ready?" "We'll be late!" "Hey Nosy!" "Don't poke in my things." "What's this rock?" "It's pretty, isn't it?" "It's a rose." "The rose of the desert." "You know my friend Tiago is taking acting lessons." "Could you help him?" " Is he cute?" " Better than that." "Then here's some advice." "Don't let him near me." "Inez, Martha!" "They need you upstairs." "I don't believe my ears." " About?" ""Don't let him near me"." "What restraint!" " It's Barbara's daughter!" "What loyalty!" " Keep it to yourself." "I've got my reputation to think of." "You know it's No Smoking." " But I'm a star, darling!" " Give my cigarette back!" "So, how are you?" "Fine." "My daughter surprised me while I was fucking a guy." "Other than that... fine." " Where was that?" "Onstage." "Literally onstage." "Who's the guy?" "No one Just an actor who's a good fuck." "You like him?" " Pedro?" "Do I like him?" "I like' em all." "Can we prevent ageing?" "Can we stop time?" "Scientists are trying to prove the maximum life span, 120 years can be extended several decades, perhaps centuries." "But until then, we'll continue listening to the ticking of the clock and counting our wrinkles." "This is Linda Lapa and the "Makeup" crew wishing you an excellent evening." "See you next week!" "Barbara, it's wonderful!" "Special service for friends." " Did he see?" "He has no idea." "He's locked in the booth." "And not to soon!" "Put it there." "Thanks." "Good bye." "Look, I'm sorry, Linda, but I have to go." "No way." "You stay." " I'm due at the doctor's." "Again?" "You're going in your apron?" "Can we get together tomorrow?" " Not tomorrow." "I'm having lunch at Edgar's." "Of all the divorced couples I know, and I know a lot you and Edgar have the strangest relationship I ever saw." "Do you ever..." " Ever what?" "...you know what I mean!" "Do the two of you...?" "Sorry." "I shouldn't pry into your affairs." " That's right." "However if you want to know..." "No!" "But I always think about it." "There's a scoop!" "I'll call you." " Bye." "It's not like a migraine." " It's like what?" "Look at my finger, please." "Don't move your head." " Sorry." "You should see an ophthalmologist." "Do you have one?" "What's so funny?" " Edgar, my husband my ex-husband." "He's an ophthalmologist." " Do you trust him?" "As a doctor, yes." "Ready?" "Action!" "Camera 2." "It's so strange." "I still remember when you were my father's partner." " That was a long time ago." "But with time, the difference in our ages seemed to lessen." "And now you're a woman." "What the fuck is that?" "Cut!" "You look like you never kissed anyone in your life!" "How was that?" " Happy birthday!" "You promised not to.." " You're not forty every day." "Eat up!" "It's a party!" " When do I get my present?" "That's not good enough?" "She's young, pretty, a little inexperienced very ambitious." "Maybe..." "You could give her lessons." " I'd rather give them to you." "Chloé!" "Over here!" "Ah, you're the famous Chloé." "Enchanté." "I'm Pedro." "Ah yes." "You're the actor who plays with Branca." " At your service." "I'm to take care of you." "On Branca's orders." "May I serve...?" "Ladies and Gentlemen." "First question:" "Who's already fucked today, and who hasn't?" "No one's fucked!" "A friend was asking me:" ""Branca, you know men so well..."" "She was obviously wrong." "So." "She was asking: "What d' you think about men who wants to go to bed the first night?"" "Good question." "Know what I answered?" "What do you do all afternoon?" "Linda!" "Thank you, I thank you all." "So Linda, what do you think of men?" "A necessary evil." "More useful than a fridge." "But less than a TV." "Gigi." "Mr. Director." "Tonight is his birthday." "Happy birthday Gigi!" "So what's it like to be forty?" " You know better than me." "Oh, the little creep." "Chloé, what do you think about men?" "Men?" "Do men still exist?" "Point one out to me." " I'm your man." "Hey!" "Calm down." "There's enough to go around." "See what Pedro was up to?" "With his languorous looks and his wandering hands..." " Stop it!" "That's not true." "You know if he wasn't such a good fuck, I'd cut his balls off." "That woman!" "She's every man's dream." " And their worst nightmare!" "Great shade!" "Where'd you find it?" " Chloé." "She chooses all my makeup." "Isn't there something... something about her that's inexplicable?" "You didn't know?" "That she was a heroin addict?" "She was really strung out." "But she's totally cleaned up." "She's terrific." "A student's in love with me." "What?" "I think a student's in love with me." " Is he cute?" "He's..." "He's different." "I feel like he knows my thoughts." " What thoughts?" "Eva, that's fantastic!" " Not really." "It's embarrassing." "He's a friend's son." " Whose?" "Barbara." " You mean it's Luis?" "I can't stop thinking about him all the time." "I..." "It's worth a thesis." " You know in some societies women ask their friends to teach lovemaking to their sons." "Barbara wouldn't." " She doesn't have to know." "Know what?" "Did I miss some gossip?" "Keep it." "I'm almost never home during the day." " Two minutes, Branca!" " Okay." "Darling!" "Where are we after all?" "What do we we wish for?" "To have pleasure." "A man is just a man." "Like a potion." "But how do we use it?" "The time has come to look at each other to get intimate." "Oh Sir, don't do that!" "I didn't ask you to show me any cheek!" "Madame, don't laugh." "It's not such a pretty thing if you show the wrong one." "Turn around." "I'd rather a different cheek." "Forward." "Backward." "That was my way to tell you goodnight." "It's over." "Branca, come and join us!" " Bravo!" "Really!" "You were great." " Really." "Excuse me, but "The show must go on"" "It's a great show." " You're so predictable, Pedro." "I just wanted to be charming to your friend." "Didn't you ask me to?" "Don't worry." "He's a pain." " You seemed to like it." "Have a drink!" "I hate women touching me." "Asshole!" "Whiskey?" "Champagne?" " Both." "He's paying!" " So Branca, what do you think of men?" "There's no scoop here for you." " Branca, we're leaving." "You coming with us?" "Good night, Linda." "Give Gigi a good fuck for his birthday." "Branca, it's late." " Mind your own business, okay?" " Okay." "Go to bed." "We're getting up early." "What are you reading?" " Nothing." "Kerouac's ON THE ROAD." "Where did you find that?" " Did you all feel like this?" " How so, like this?" "I don't know." "Free, optimistic, a little crazy trying to change the world." " We did a bit." "Didn't we?" "Well!" "Your sister's back." "Finally!" "Eva sends kisses." "Still up?" " Where were you?" " I ate with Tiago." "I told you." "Are you sure?" " Don't start." "What are you reading?" "Why read that?" "You won't sleep." "Seeing Dad gets you nervous?" " I'm just not well!" "That figures." "Look what you're wearing." " What should I?" "How about leopard-skin mini skirt?" " No, but your hair..." " Dye it platinum?" "Close the door!" "Yes?" "Branca?" "In the bathroom?" "Okay!" "Don't move." "We'll be right over." "Gigi!" "Wake up!" "Get dressed." "But I've got another hour!" "How did you lock them in the bathroom?" " I threw up on them." "Move, you pig heads." "Get lost!" "Better now?" " Yes, thanks." " The coast is clear." "She should sleep at my place." " There's no need." "I insist." "Get in, Gigi." "I'll drop you off." "Don't bother." "I'll get a taxi." " Gigi!" "Gigi!" "What's this?" " You didn't hear?" "It's closing time." "We're here." "What a disaster!" "Do you see my face?" "You're lovely!" " More than Inez!" " Just shut up." "Pass me my bag." "You've got marvelous lips." "Show them off." "Stop!" "it's too much!" " Mom, you're lovely like you are." "Shit!" "That tart is still there!" "Doesn't your father meant better?" " Not more than you." "Better than her's impossible!" " All right, let's go." "You're early." " I wanted to see your newest conquest leave." "How many now?" " Don't start again, Barbara." "How old's that one?" "What's her name again?" " Helena." "Right." "Hello, Sonja." " Helena!" " I mix them all up." "How's Ed, Helena?" " Better when you're gone!" "Will you see me off?" "Happy now?" " Me?" "Yes!" "Excuse me." "I'm looking for Luis Mayer." " He's not in today." "Can I leave something for him?" " Yes." "His desk's in the back." "Hello." " Hello." "Are you Luis' mother?" " No, not at all." "Sorry, I would have thought so." "That's all I get for I don't know how many years of marriage?" "I wanted to bring you a crazy young nymphomaniac but mom said no." "You know what Groucho said?" ""Marriage is an institution, but who wants to live in an institution?"" "We thought you weren't coming." " Me either." "I love you, Mom." "Where's Rita?" "In her room." "She's always locked in her room." "Or she disappears and no one knows where." "She came back at four this morning." "You know what she did to my furniture?" "See yourself!" "I can't control her, Branca!" "You know how your mother always worries." " And you?" "All you do is snore in front of the TV." "Rita isn't well!" "Rita?" "How can you paint things so strange?" "Leave me alone!" "Is it a fever?" " My god!" "What were you up to last night?" "And you?" "What were you up to?" "I'm sorry about the other day." " It's always the same with you." "You screw up then you ask to be forgiven." " Then you fuck up again." "Know what we'll do?" "We can look for a big apartment." "So we can live together." "To see you fuck a different guy every night?" "He didn't mean it like that." " I know that." "What's that?" " He makes me crazy." " Am poking in your desk now." "Catarina." "You don't like my food?" " Of course I do, it's very good." "It's very good." "That's all you have to say?" "It's a masterpiece!" "The young don't appreciate the fine art of eating." " Ah yes." "I do." "Hi Tiago." " Salut Tiago." " You're late!" "Feeling better?" " Yes, thanks." "Sit and eat!" " We're taking a walk." "Coming Luis?" " I need the car." "Tiago can take you home." " Where are you going?" " To the museum." "Don't overwork." "There's more than rocks in life." "You know your son's reading Kerouac's "On the Road"?" "They're wonderful kids." "You know, you were marvelous with them." "Now that they're grown." "I missed it all, but..." " Not all. it's not too late." "Drink?" " Not even a Martini?" "I still don't drink." " I don't know how not to drink." "I don't drink or smoke." "I love with no love back." "That's untrue." "The kids adore you and you know how I feel." "Yes, but I'm not loved as I need to be." " Barbara please." "It's a marvelous day." "Let's enjoy it." "You ready?" "We've been waiting ten minutes." "And the sound?" "It's okay?" "It's... here?" "Ah!" "..." "Here." "Okay, good!" "No, no." "It's good." "Maria for "Three Wishes."" " That's her!" "Tell me your three wishes." " I don't have any more." " I don't believe you." "Tell me at least one." " Not to love or to be loved." "Say when it's done." " It'll be done when it's done!" "Interview the whole world, but I want it done!" "Rewind." "Stop." "I want that woman." "Can you get a name and address?" "Not my type of woman." " Her name's Maria something." "They're all called Maria-whatever." " If you want to you can." "God has spoken." "I obey." "What is your type?" "My type of woman?" "You." "Another one of my manias, right?" "See me in the clinic tomorrow." " Could it be serious?" "It's in my mind." "Like always." " It doesn't help to worry." "That must be Helena." "Did I come at the wrong time?" "I tried to call." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "But Branca was really sick." "Right." "Branca." "Your job." "Your friends." "Your fucking alarm clock!" "And I come last." "We'll talk tonight." "Okay?" " I'm busy tonight." "Busy?" " I've got something." "Your young actress!" "It's Raquel." "My mother's one of your most fervent fans." "She sees you as a model." "I think they're waiting for us." "That's what I'm like?" "Handsome, brilliant, strange, baroque." ""Why are we different from others?"" ""Outdoors again, each of us turns away."" "Are you obliged to do that?" "Do what?" " Turn away." "Maybe I'm afraid." " Of me?" "Of time." "We're helpless against it." "I'm not so sure of that." "I am." "What's your shoe size?" " How's that?" "So, you keep skates in your car." "In case a girl comes by?" "Then I make sure she breaks a leg." "So she can't get away." "And I can come on to her." " Good method." "In fact, they're my sister's skates." "Come on!" "I'm not sure this is so smart." " The secret is balance." "Push to the side!" "I'm slipping!" " Don't look down!" "It's not funny." "Shall we turn around?" "I never learn that." " Of course, one leg before the other." "Do I let go?" " No, don't let go!" " Don't worry, I won't." "Don't let go!" "Is that you?" "I'm sorry about the other day." "Why?" " I thought she was your mother." "I have to get back." "David's alone." "I was crazy." " They're just my friends." "That's for sure!" "They're closer to your age than mine!" "We've got something between us." " Yes!" "Twenty-five years!" "What's twenty-five years?" "Champagne!" "For everyone!" "Before we begin, may I ask a question?" "Why are we here?" "There's a good reason." " Bad luck?" " No, no, no." "Men!" "Chance!" "No..." "Destiny!" " A secret reason?" "A very good reason." "Tradition." "A wish for each of three of the year's first cherries!" "Oh, that's nice." " She's working a story out on us." "I smell it." "A story about what?" " A story about women's wishes!" "Is that it, Linda?" " That's it." "I knew it!" " I need inspiration." "Let me be yours." " And you didn't say!" "A camera!" "Oh no!" "That's not true!" "Wait!" "I have to call my agent!" "It's confidential." "I'll lock it up, so we can see it in ten years." "Okay?" " Ten years!" "Where will we be then?" "How about it?" " Ready, Mr. de Mille." "I'm ready for my close-up." "This'll be good." " That's too much." "Eva first!" " Okay." "Why are you angry?" " And Pedro!" "How was he?" "A good fuck, huh?" "Are you crazy?" "Nothing happened!" "Sure!" "You were almost holding his dick at the club." "My last wish:" "Stop all my rationalizing." "I think too much." " About who?" "About Luis?" "Stop, Linda!" "Don't you ever think about other people?" " Your turn Chloé!" "Did you know my brother made cherry liqueur?" " Mine too." "The last day of school we stole one of his bottles." "I was so drunk, I held a boy's penis while he peed." "And we sprayed everyone's shoes." "You did that?" "You?" " I get sick, thinking about it." "The penis?" " No, the liqueur!" "That someone whom I want, but who doesn't want me, ends up wanting me, as I want to be wanted." "Is that clear?" "Bye everyone." "I've got to go." "My daughter Inez works for her." "And she insists I go see her." "What good would it do?" " My third wish: Three more wishes, and then three more." "Wishes until the end of time." "So...?" "How's my son doing?" " Your son?" "I mean, is he working well?" "He's not a problem?" "Why?" " Oh, I don't know..." "I just feel..." "I don't know." "I just feel he's in love." "He's so strange now." "I don't know." "He doesn't sleep or eat." "He won't tell Inez or me." "Have you noticed anything?" "Look, I'm just his Prof." "Your turn, Barbara!" "Where should I go?" " Over there, in the corner." "There?" "Yes, very good." "Introduce yourself and tell me your three wishes." "Linda won't play the game!" " What?" " She won't tell her wishes." "That's not on!" " I agree!" "Well, let's go!" "Linda!" "Your three wishes!" " Come on, Linda!" "It's me who asks!" "That's not good enough!" "Gimme the camera!" "You can't get away." "Come on!" "Your wishes!" "Look at the camera!" "No!" "I can't!" "Oh my god!" "Forget it." " Who?" "What?" "Maria-No-Desires." "She left her job, her flat, her guy." "Gone." "You gotta find her!" " We don't need her." "It's me who decides if we need her or not." "Find her!" ""Oh my god!" "Oh my god, my god!"" "We know she believes in God." "But one question remains:" "Is she a good fuck?" "She stays later than three." "Can you imagine?" "She stays all night." " Really?" " She likes waking up next to me." " Good." "Don't you play angry." "You did everything but be the matchmaker." "And you leapt on her!" " I'm sick of being a toy." "You want to play?" "Fine." "If not, I'm in the box." "You never think how I feel!" "What are you afraid of, Linda?" "Go fuck yourself, Gigi!" "Hi Linda." "Need anything?" " Fuck yourself!" " What?" "Shut up!" " Oh lala!" "You're going to need an MRI." " What did you see?" "I can't say anything until I see the results." "Don't be afraid!" "Afraid?" "Me?" "Who says I'm afraid?" "I'm just a hypochondriac." "Everyone knows." "Right?" " Barbara!" "Most of the time it's nothing." "I'm sorry." "Lilies!" " I was stupid." "How did you know I loved lilies?" " I'm ready to be punished." "Beat me!" "Humiliate me!" "Take me to the gym!" "Force me to carry weights!" "Worse!" "Teach me Tai Chi!" "Linda?" "Linda!" "I feel like a thief." " Me too." "Where does she hide her bed?" "In the bedroom, I think." "Under a blanket." "You're beautiful." "Very beautiful." "You don't have to say that." "Say it, say it!" "I thought of you the other day." "Really." "I saw a car sticker." "Wait!" "Let me guess!" ""Maternal love?" "I love Jesus?"..." " Not that either." "..."Save the whales?"" " No." ""I like my beer cold, women hot and cars fast."" "Oh to be a man!" " Bite your tongue!" "Really." " They do what they want." "Me too." "I like beer cold and cars fast." "But I prefer red wine and men." "Even if they're not great in bed." "I'm good enough for us both." "A cramp!" "That's what you get after Tai Chi." "Or non-Tai Chi." " Thank you." "I can't!" "Why not?" " It's not you." "What is it then?" "It's me!" "Kafka sweetie, come here." "He won't call." "Was it good for you?" " No." "It was awful." "You know, when you're my age, I'll be seventy." "I won't let you get that old!" " Oh really?" "I'll petrify you before you're fifty." "And then I'll cover you in amber." "Guess!" ""I love you."" "You don't have to say that." " Yeah, but it's you who said it." "Again." " I love you." "Again." " I love you." "Barbara, I've got to..." " You were never good at surprises." "If it was good news, you'd have phoned." "You didn't phone." "You brought me here." "Where we first met." "So it's really bad?" "No, but it is serious." "Am I going to die?" " No, but we have to operate." " You know you can't!" "It's me who decides what to do!" "You hear me?" "Will I go blind?" "A sense might be altered." "How long do I have to live?" "How much time, Edgar?" "How much time?" "I can't believe it." "How much time?" "Mom!" "Mom, I've got a surprise." "Stop!" "Stop, please!" " Right now?" "I'm not well." "You're always sick!" "Inez, it's not the moment!" "I've got to talk to you." "Come on." "Good evening, Tiago." " Good evening." "We wanted to tell you, Inez." "Maybe we should leave your mother alone." " No, it's all right." "We didn't know how to..." " We've saved some money." "You're going to be grandmother." " Me, a grandmother?" "It can't be!" "Come here Tiago!" "It's fantastic!" "Is it a boy or a girl?" " It's a boy." "We'll name him Tintin or Batman." " Listen!" "Anyway I'm sure it's a girl." "Now you." "What did you want to tell me?" "Gosh, I don't know." "I forgot." "I found her!" "Who?" " Your Maria-No-Desires." "Don't forget the "Three Wishes." Three days, and that is it." "This thing's eating you up." "Come on!" "Let's get a drink." " Just one?" "I've got another one, okay?" "An Italian, an American and a Portuguese are on an island..." "A genie pops out of a bottle, and says "You've got three wishes."" "The Italian wants to go home to Mama, and the American says:" ""I know what I Want!" "Loads of money!"" "The Portuguese looks around and says: "I want my pals back!"" "Excuse me." "I didn't think you liked this kind of place." "Wanna dance?" " With you?" "You hate dancing." "You didn't call me." "It was your turn to call me." "So it's serious, you and what's her name again?" " Raquel." "Twenty years younger than me." "Is that it?" "You know it's not!" "How long are you together?" "A week?" "I give you two months, maximum!" "Why her?" " I wanted to be with you!" "Hello." "In fact, Linda, you were right." "I do believe in God." "And fuck you, too!" "The same again." "Come on." "Let's go." "Wait!" "Wait, I..." " The bedroom?" " I don't know..." "Why not?" "I want to spend the night with you." "I'm not sure it's a good idea." "Because of Karl?" "Yes, maybe it's Karl." "And your mother." "And... this house." "The same bed." "And David, who might wake up." " So he sees his mother with a man." "Is that so bad?" " It's me, too." "When we're at Linda's, it's... a little unreal." "Here I can't!" "See you tomorrow at Linda's?" "I want you!" " Stop!" "Yes." " Don't." "No!" "Luis!" "Stop it!" "Get outta here!" " Mama?" "See what you've done?" "Mama?" "!" "I waited for you at Linda's." "I'm going absolutely crazy." "Wait!" "Can't we talk?" "I don't know what came over me." "I love you." "I don't want to hurt you anymore." "I want you." "Is it over?" " Yes." "Because of yesterday?" " No." "Then why?" "Plenty of reasons!" "For example?" "You wouldn't understand." "But you do!" "You're the prof, right?" "Hello Chloé." "For you." " What is it?" " An invitation to my wedding." "You're getting married!" " You were right." "Mom's delirious!" "We spent the night organizing." "She wants it right away." "Friday!" "Isn't that soon?" " You know her." "It's always like it's her last day on earth." "I'm happy for you!" "Chloe?" "!" "Chloe!" "Rita's disappeared!" " Shit!" "Where's Vasco?" "Who's asking for Vasco?" " Teresa said you'd be here." "You're a friend of Teresa?" " Her name's Rita!" "Maybe I know where she is." " Fuck!" "Where is she?" "I'll rip your eyes out!" "Say it, scumbag!" " Listen to her!" " You want problems?" "Get it?" "Rita, open up!" "It's me!" "It's going to be all right." "I just want to get you to a doctor." "Just give me a chance, please." "You're so selfish." "I want you to live with me!" "I want you to live with me!" "Have you gone mad?" "It's you who's gone mad!" "You'll kill her!" "Let go of me, you dyke!" "It's not your daughter!" "You just don't get it!" "Go away!" "Fuck off!" "I'll take care of your daughter." "Go away!" "Go away, please!" "It'll be all right." "The guy told me it was good." "Who are you?" "Mother Teresa?" "My name's Chloé." "Inez." "Look I've got something for you." "A pre-wedding gift." "It's my legacy." "One day, you'll hand it down and you'll say that Grandmother was a great cook." "Mama!" "Luis!" "You do like a real pro." "It's like riding a bicycle." "You never forget." "It's your turn." "I don't want to be alone." "Please, Chloé." "Madame!" "I'm looking for Maria." "Madame, I'm Linda Lapa." "From the "Makeup" program." "She doesn't hear you." "She doesn't see you." " Tell me your real wishes." ""Not to have pleasure or to suffer."" " I don't believe you." "Why are you so afraid?" " I'm not afraid." "It's you who's afraid." "Afraid?" "Me?" "Of What?" "Gigi, is that you?" "Gigi?" "Hi Adriano." " Did you finish "Three Wishes?"" "I need more time." " It runs tomorrow night, finished or not." "Get it?" "Inez?" "My god, what is wrong?" "You're getting married?" " It's Mom, Linda." "I wish that Edgar..." "No." " Go on!" "Not to die alone!" "Linda!" "Your three wishes!" "Come on, Linda!" " No." "Where is she?" " In my room." "She's started on methadone." " Will she make it?" "That depends a lot on you." "And if she won't see me?" " You're her mother, Branca!" "Rita." "I wanted to show you..." "It's a gift." "For both of us." "For our new apartment." "I found a nice one." "With a room for you." "And a little studio." "I was wrong, you know?" "I got you just right." "Exactly how you are!" "You sure?" "Answering service." "Who's the message for?" "For Luis Mayer." " What's the message?" "Go ahead." " Luis, it's Eva." "I think only about you, it's driving me crazy, I I miss you." "I want to bury myself in your skin." "Oh, Luis..." "Could you repeat that?" "Adriano, can we talk a minute?" "What is it?" " I can't go on." "It'll be all right." " No no!" "I haven't finished it!" "You're a professional." "A professional's a professional." "But I can't!" "Everything's fine." "Everything's fine." "You'll do just fine." "You'll be perfect." "Should we cut?" " Tonight I wanted to do a program about women my age and their wishes." "I tried." "I spoke with hundreds of women." "But I can't work it out." "I see one woman with no desires, and I see another who's afraid to have desires." "And me, I hear the unbearable alarm of my clock, and the only wish I can think of, is for a second life for one of my friends, who's going to die." "This is Linda Lapa and the "Makeup" and the "Makeup" crew wishing you an excellent evening." "No message." "If you'd asked me, I could have told you." "About wishes, age, life." "It's not as complicated as it seems." "It's not too late to learn?" " It's never too late." "Come!" "We'll start with the simplest step." "No!" "Leave the flowers alone!" "Okay." "We'll see about it later." "I learned how to dance last night." "You can pick up your things whenever you want." "Wait!" "I'm sorry about your friend." "What's wrong?" " Nothing." "You still love her, don't you?" "No." "Hello, Chloé." " Barbara!" "So tell me seeing as you're supposed to be a magician, can you bring back the dead?" "Are you sure you've got the time?" "Now?" "That's all I have." "Time." " You're lucky." "Feel better?" "Much better than you, it seems." "What happened?" "What's wrong?" "I want someone who doesn't want me like I want her to." ""Her"? "Her"?" "You said "Her."" "You know who, don't you?" " Of course." "Me!" "I'll explain it to you." "Responsibility is something only adolescents should have." "After twenty we should all toss responsibility out the window." "It's then and only then that we can concentrate on what really matters..." "like a sex." "What did you put in it?" " This is the last time you'll be able to use your legs!" "What have you done?" " This is the last time you'll be able to use your head and your mouth!" "This is the last time you'll be able to use your balls and your prick!" "Who's next?" "Looks like she's not here." "How about a private party?" "Chloé!" "Lilies!" "I was afraid you wouldn't come!" "You were magnificent!" "You are magnificent!" "You too!" "For Rita!" "And for me too!" "Lesbians!" "They're all lesbians!" "Hurry up!" "There's loads to do in the kitchen!" " You're beautiful!" " It's not too much?" "Mom!" "You're superb!" "I'd marry you, myself." "I made one of your recipes." "Come and taste!" "Let's have a look." " Tell me if it's good or not." "There's no odour." "I don't taste anything!" "I don't taste anything at all!" "I'm afraid!" " No!" " It's starting!" " No it's not!" "No!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Oh my god!" "Open the door!" "Mom!" "Everyone's waiting!" "Open up!" "What's wrong?" " She's locked in." "She sent us into the garden and locked the door." " Mom!" "It's my wedding!" "Tell the guests to begin the meal." " That's impossible." " Go ahead!" "Please." "Go on." "Barbara!" "Barbara!" "Barbara, please." "Open up." "I want..." "Open up!" "It's me." "I'm alone." "Long live the couple!" "You happy?" "Rita was still up." "She's doing pretty well." "She doesn't shake anymore." "She says to give you a kiss." "What's going on today?" "Everyone's got secrets!" "Secrets?" "You know I love secrets." "What's up?" " What are you talking about?" "No scoops here!" " In that case I won't tell my secret:" "Look Linda, we're too old for sex..." "Secrets!" "I mean secrets." "Too much champagne!" "Didn't you get my message?" "Why didn't you call me?" "I was ashamed." "Because I'm twenty-five years too old?" " No." "Because I behaved like a kid." "Not all the time." "You're beautiful, you know." "You don't have to say that!" "Now listen everybody!" "The bride's about to throw the bouquet!" "All unmarried women or unhappily married women on to the dance floor!" "They're talking about us." " It never works." " I've got six already!" " This one could be lucky." "Ready?" " Watch out everybody." "One, two, three." "So Batman, want to fly?" "I'm learning to dance." "Inez says you're a good dancer." " Me?" "Better than Travolta!" "I'll show you." "I knew Luis had someone." " You mean Martha?" "No, he's got a thing with a woman our age." "Are you sure?" " A mother always knows." "Does it bother you?" "Not if he's happy." "That's all that counts." "Hey, Nosy." "I told you not to poke in my things!" "Give!" "Go on, to play." "Here, I'm giving it back." " You don't need it anymore?" "He's coming to my place." "Want to dance?" "Darling!" "Where are we after all?" "What do we wish for?" "To have pleasure." "And to curse." "That a man is just a man." "Like a potion." "But how do we use it?" "You have a nice day?" "Looks like it's over, three o'clock closing time." "We could repair it if you like." "New hands, a new crystal..." " Let's see." "I don't know..." "I think it wants to be free." "Life's like that." " Like what?" "The way time flies." "Out the window." "You know, I've always had one wish..."
