"Prologue." "Steady, steady." "Thank you." "There are news." "Picnic is worthless, since they have their plan." " What for?" " To ignore us." "They think that we want to engage them... and agreed to send us to hell til we stop our love life." " I think that is not possible." " Of course not." "So then?" "In spite of their pact, I'm going to talk to your sister, I'm sure to win." "What's your tactic?" "I'll see in time..." "And you?" "I'll pretend to be indifferent... and then I'll propose her a platonic friendship." "That never fails, they always fall." " Well Chayo, are we done?" " Yeah." "Don't change your mind," " and don't betray." " Don't worry." "OK, let's go." "Let them find us." " Hey Pedro." " What?" "I'm taking Rosario fishing to the fall." "And I'm taking Maruja hunting." "Remember that she's my sister." "Come on, don't you know me?" "That's why I say so..." "Country smell that in the trees, the breeze wraps with it's song" "of a marvelous rythm." "Miraculous God is going to glow." "The country is a nest of inexpressible things." "The song of the river and the cry of the lark." "Mighty torrent the moonlight kissed me." "Rocking of a cradle on the blue lake." "Country smell that in the trees the breeze wraps with it's song of a marvelous rythm." "Good God is going to glow." "Why are you so quiet?" "Mmm, ah." "I was just thinking." "Is it something that you're going to tell me?" "Yeah." "Just tell me." "Many times I've been tempted to ask you to be my girl but I haven't had the guts." "And now you did." "Now..." "I want to tell you..." "That I'm glad not to have done that." "Why?" "Because I have reached the conclusion that you and I should be only friends." "That's what we've always been, haven't we?" "Yeah, but we have to glorify that friendship." "Beleive it or not." "There was a tieme when I dreamed to hold you in my arms." "To touch your hair." "To see me in your eyes and to kiss you vigorously." "But you have put it very delicately that this is not the kind of love that you want from me." "Nor I from you." "So you will get married, maybe will I." "We'll grow old." "And we'll always be very good friends." "Don't you think it's a beautiful love?" "Yeah, so beautiful." "You have taken the bait!" "Why do you say so?" "For that little trout." "Lend me the net." "Look at it!" "Lend me the net!" "Have you thought about it?" "Yeah!" "And what dou you say to me?" "No." "Just let me warn you that I'll marry the first lady that I'll find." "Hey "Perico", don't you fright me." "But babe, I can't find a way to convince you." "It'll be enough to well behave." "And do I behave badly?" "No, very good!" "Deny me that you are courting the Gutierrez." "Ay, how can you be like that?" "The Gutierrez." "Anybody who hears you might thing that I'm courting the four of them, only two of them." "The other two are for Jorge, and they're not any longer, we finished." "And Martha, the telegraphist?" "We lasted less than.." "An urgent message." "And what about Juanita, the post office girl?" "Maybe a night delivery?" "It better was immediate delivery." "Shameless!" "And Enriqueta, the funeral parlor girl?" "That one is dead!" "Tha's why you attended the service along with the San Juan district girls." "Here we go again!" "Those are only girlies, you have your right place!" "Fortunately." "So, the farther you and I are, the better." "Ay babe!" "Hey Jorge." "You have somewhere a girfriend, don't you?" "Admit it!" "Didn't we agree to be great friend?" "Friends make confessions and advice each other..." "Come on, tell me, do you have a girlfriend?" "I don't know what to tell you." "But what do you think of Genoveva, General's daughter?" "She's pretty..." "She dresses well, plays the piano... and is your girlfriend?" "Not yet, but I'll talk to her." "Don't talk to her." "She's not for you." "You deserve someone better." "Well, that is my opinion." "Now I want to know yours." "What do you think of Ricardo Del Paso?" "He's a great guy, elegant... formal and speaks english... and has no love affairs." "Never drinks an he confesses every Sunday." "And never speak bad words." "He's eligible." "He's bald, but a wig will make it." "He has no converstion an he is so stupid." "But stupids are the best husbands." "So he's for you." "When are you getting married?" "Do you want me to be your best man?" "Go to hell with your friendship." "Friends..." "What happens is that you're in love, so you don't need me..." " But Rosario." " You loved me a lot." "Don't deny it." "So what about Ricardo?" "I don't mind Ricardo." "I just wanted to see if you cared about me." "But you don't care." ""He's so stupid." "He's for you."" "There are other more stupid." "Those who orginized a picnic to court... and finished with a platonic friendship." "Leave me alone!" "Don't get closer." "But we're friends." "Well, I don't want to be your friend." "So you prefer..." "Yes Jorge." "No one can love you like I do." "But say nothing to your sister until she has accepted Pedro." "And now let's go because it's late." " So you detest me." " Just like that." "Then we end here." "We're finished." "Ok." "Give me my stuff back." "What stuff?" "My sighs, the sleepless nights thinking about you, the kisses that I've given you." "You have given me?" "Well, in thoughts." "I don't want you closer not even in thoughts." "Then I don't know what I'm doing here." "I'd better go." "As you wish." "So you getting rid of me?" "Ok." "I'll go." " Good bye." " Good bye." "Don't you think that we have to say good-bye as good friends?" "Of course." "Good bye "Perico"." "Have a nice day." "Won't you give me a kiss?" "Are you crazy?" "I'm not one of your girlies." "A kiss of friends." "Friends don't give kisses." "OK." "A kiss of brothers." "Neither." "And if I steal it?" "I don't think you'll dare." "Why?" "Because I'd break your head." " Oh yeah?" " Yeah." "There it is." "Now break my head." "Jorge, come here!" "Pedro fainted!" "The hell!" "You gave me such a fright!" "I thought you were dead." "Almost." "Look, you broke my head." " I always keep a promise." " I see." "What happened?" "Your sister broke my head." " But Maria." " Ask him why." "What did you do, Pedro?" "Don't look at me like that." "I only gave her an innocent kiss on the cheek." "Hey siste, it was too much for a kiss on the cheek." "Imagine if he had given me the kiss on the mouth." "I'd be taken out the ammunition from his belly." "You were right, buddy." "Today was your day." "Your lucky day!" "It was just for you to learn, so you behave well." "Babe." "Two Serious Guys." " Hi Chucho!" " Hi Jorgito." "How do you do?" "Working." "I'll leave her." "Washed, greased and cleaned, ok?" "Do you want us to lend you a horse?" "This is really a first class service, but I'd rather walk." "What is Mr. Jorge Bueno doing these place?" "Hi Tiburcio!" "Let's start not calling me mister." "...and call me just Jorge as usual." "God forbid!" "You're a very rich man and I don't want to be disrepectful." "Look Tiburcio, forget that." "Money is just to spend, not to show off among friends." " Hey buddy, I'm so happy to see you." " Me too." "Well, now you can tell me what is the purpose of the visit and what can I do for you?" "I want some cattle." "Do you have some to sell?" "Only that on my head." "Listen, but I can sell you my ranch." " Let's see it." " Right away." "Do you smoke?" "No, thanks." "If you want it we can pick your friend Pedro up." " Is Pedro here?" " Yeah, didn't you know?" "First time I hear it." " It's been a year since I saw him." " Ok, let's pick him up." "No Tiburcio, I came here looking for cattle." "I don't care about morons." "So this is Jorgito, always joking." "Terrific!" "You got on my nerves!" "Why?" " I don't know what" "I don't know what kind of feelings you've got." "Only God knows how is suffering my little daughter and you, the husband, so easy." "So if I worry, the baby will be born sooner?" "Of course not, but you'd demonstrate that you love your wife." "She's a girl." "You can come in." "Your first- born, son." "Can you see father-in-law?" "We didn't need that scene." "Let see, where is my newborn rose?" "Ups, she's so ugly!" "This rose is not even a spine." "She has the face of his grandfather." "She's like dad, isn't she?" "She's his living image." "But who says that she's ugly." "She's as beautiful as a Lebanon flower." "We're going to call her as my grandmother, Latifa." "No, don't spoil her with that name." "Ok, she's going to be Rosario, like me." "Oh God, I haven't seen you." "You're so ruined, Chayito." "Yeah, look at the state you have left your mother." "Aren't you ashamed?" "She's totally rambling." "Where's the color of her cheeks?" "Those eyes so beautiful." "Those red lips, where are they?" "You ate them, didn't you?" "You are just born and you are causing a lot of damage, like the scourge." "Don't hate her." "It's the first thing his going to do." "He who is a bad husband, a bad father will be." "Men like these shoudn't have children." "Hey father-in-law, don't spoil the moment." "Well, I think I'm leaving." " Good bye, Chayito." " Where are you going?" "I'm going to invite my friends a drink, because of the birth." "We have to celebrate, don't we?" "Excuse me sir." "Hey my little girl, you were so wrong getting married to this cheeky devil." "All men are equal." "As long as he respects me, leave him have fun." "My "Perico" is not responsible for his luck with girls." "But that is not luck, is to abuse." "Whatever." "I'm not going to lose my husband for being jelous." "He loves me so much and I do too..." "That's enough for me." "Ok." "I have a clear conscience, because you got married without my permission." "You've got a new baby" "I'll tell you later when she's going to be baptized." "And while I find my child's godfather I invite you to drink... have a drink, since here is your father!" "The father of the child, don't misunderstand." "Look at the mob this guy has." "Get in and don't let our child go out." "Honorio!" "I invite the drinks to my friends!" "And get ready to dance!" "I've got a partner for all of you!" "Hey Perico don't mess around, what a way to celebrate a birth!" "What's wrong?" "My house is for families." "Aren't we in familiar spirit?" "Yeah, familiar, and.." "." "Bring Mrs. Matilde." "Of course." "With all her daughters, everything is in family!" "Don't play with me, you want to catch me ruined." "But Mr. Bueno, don't be bad." "Give me at least $40,000." "No Tiburcio." "I have told you that I give you no more than $25,000, and that's final." "Hey kid, two cold beers." "Yes sir." "The other night I went partying at Julia's." "The family was present." "Mary Pepa congratulates Luz and Otilia." "And Camila was the joy of the reunion." "And while Lupe fed her baby." "Mrs. Cleta ask for a drink to Celia." "She lined the intimates on two rows and we drank charanda from Morelia." "After that Amelia played a grammophone and we danced all together." "There was a cadet who was jelous of Chelo but she was dancing with Gaspar." "Come on and dance Mrs. Matilde." "They gave us jelly sandwichs." "Punch to some of them, and Coca Cola to the others." "As the maid was serving so steady." "I went to the kitchen with my tray." "I found there Ofelia's friends." "Who have passed their tequila hidden." "And we drank behind the sink." "And Amelia almost caught us then they ask Lola to sing." "And we suffered "Here goes my farewell"." "After that auntie Cleta played the pianola." "And we applauded a lot so s he couldn't complain." "Do you play?" "What?" "Do you to play?" "Oh yeah, sorry, I was absent-minded." "Not that much, you killed my double-six." "I'd like to kill someone else." "Double one?" "No, someone else." "Listen to me." "That one singing is Pedro Malo, isn't he?" "Yeah." "And don't say that I abuse." "Ask him the value of the ranch I'm offering to you." "I give water to Pedro and others..." "But Pedro has properties here." "Those ones I showed you." "If it weren't for my spring, he woudn't crop a single corncob." "Life on those properties depends on the ranch I'm offering you." "Ask Pedrito and you'll see." "I'm going to ask him." "Wait for me." "I had the guts and sang you a song to Eufemia." "That I sang out of key and they made fun of me." "I faced him, but Eufemia stopped me." "Otherwise he'd be standing on line at the Limbo." "But the jelly was already digested." "Beacause the lady of the general joined us." "And nosy Carola goes gossiping." "And the husband comes and the quarrell started." "The row started." "He pull out his gun." "I hid myself behind the pianola." "The police came as Carola called." "And we went to the jail all together." "Come on girls, party is alright, but some order!" "Go fooling around, but decent, ok?" "Look at your luck with girls." "It seem so Mrs. Matilde, but all that glitters is not gold." "I'm not lucky with them." "Don't say so." "That's true." "No woman takes me seriously because they say I'm dating a lot of girls." "And I have to date many because no one takes me seriously." "You can't complain about us." "I'm talking about women." "And what are we?" "You're... girlies." " But your woman." " My woman has his own place." "Jorge." "How seriously happy I am to see you." "Yes." "You've got to be seriously happy." "That's how I speak." "You're a swine." "You're right." "I was telling the girls about that." "I'm so unhappy." "At least you accept it." "Well, yeah." " How did you know that I was here?" " By chance." "We have to met some day, don't we?" "Of course." "What about talking in there?" "Let's talk." "Come in." "You first." "I just came to make a complaint." "Tell me." "Why didn't you invite me to your wedding?" "I'd gladly have gone." "Well, err." "Everything was so fast." "Besides, you know the way that I am and how I proceed." "Yeah." "Now I know how you are and the way you make things." "Crawling like a reptile!" "Betraying friends and cheating on women." "Aren't you?" "You married my girlfriend knowing that I loved her and I pretended her." "Of coures, you don't dare to face me, that's enough!" "My sister knew better." "She didn't believed in your wicked love!" "Because she could forsee your kind!" "And I was stupid enough helping you in good faith... for you to be my brother-in-law." "Such a nice worm I was going to include in the family!" "And don't think that I'm hurt because you marry my girlfriend." "If a woman cheats on you... forgive her and that's it, ultimately she's a woman." "But when you're betrayed by who you think is your best friend..." "Ah Chihuahua, it hurts!" "And you're still laughing?" "Answer me, answer me!" "You won't say nothing... being such a coward." "The comedy of my love." " Have you talked to Pedrito?" " Yeah." "What did he tell you about my ranch?" "Your ranch?" "Oh yeah, he told me that it was a good investment." "I buy it." "In $40,000?" "No matter the price!" "Let's go signing the deed." "OK." "Grease those spings that creak like new shoes!" "Don't worry Mr. Elias." "Clean it well with oil." "Work well so I can give you a tip!" "Good luck, Jorgito." "Thanks buddy." "Am I dreaming or am I saying hello to Mr. Jorgito?" "How do you do Mr. Elias?" "Why are you so serious with your friend?" "You used to hug me in the past." "You have said so, in other times." "You seem to be mad at me." "Yes, you're angry." "But you're wrong." "I alwas wanted you to be my son-in-law." "Look Mr. Elias, we'd better not talk about it." "Yeah, I've gotta talk, 'cause you think I was responsible, but I was not." "I know nothing that happened." "I wash my hands, as Pilate did." "You can say that I'm a fool, but I can't understand what happend." "Now tell me one thing.." "Why did you argue, my daughter and you, if you were getting married?" "Things that happen, Mr. Elias." "Maybe you remember that last time I saw her, about a year ago... there was a fair at town, and she didn't want to go because of a headache." "I remember." "Then I was confident that she woudn't go, I invited a girl." "You understand, don't you?" "One of these friends bachelors have." "My dark lady, it seems that it's time for a huapango..." "My dark lady, it seems that it's time for a huapango..." "While she swings in her hammock, I'm watching her..." "And whe she shakes, I ask her what's up, when." "What's up, when?" "That lady in a wrap has been sighing..." "That lady in a wrap has been sighing... if that charro doesn't love her, we're ready..." "And because I don't want her so sad I ask her what's up, when." "What's up, when?" "And though I'm not new to love, I'm not exceeding myself." "And though I'm not new to love, I'm not exceeding myself." "I'm like a bread that becomes softer on any mouth.." "And when I see her alone I dare to ask her what's up, when..." "What's up, when?" "On the banch of an holm oak a goldfinch is whistling..." "On the banch of an holm oak a goldfinch is whistling..." "What a beautiful olive-skinned girl to join us..." "And with all respect I ask her..." "What's up?" "When?" "What's up, when?" "That charro and that lady are just staring at each other..." "That charro and that lady are just staring at each other..." "Forget the papers and you can do it..." "And to avoid being indiscreet, I ask them what's up, when?" "What's up, when?" "A nice colt whinnies in the stable from time to time..." "Ah, but you were here?" "Tell Jorge to come." " But we're going to.." " Tell him to come or I'll go for him." "Alright, I'll go." "Take this, baby." "I'll be back." "...sighing." "And first of all, I ask her what's up, when.." "What's up?" "What's." "What's up, when?" "Hey buddy..." "With Victorita's permission, can I talk to you?" " Yes sir.." " Where are you going to?" "I'll be back in a minute..." "Let's go..." "Hey, Rosario is there.." " Here?" " Yeah, here." " She told me that she wasn't coming." " But she's there." "Mmm, she's keeping watch on me." "You'll see how fast I work this out." "Take care of this one." "Listen to me, I've got mine." "Just for a moment." " Just don't go too far." " Hey Jorge, I'm surprised.." "Yeah, but I don't want to be surprised." "What's up Vitolita?" "What's up, when?" "Easy Perico." "What's wrong, we're almost brothers, and besides I'm the substitute." "It doesn't matter." "Are you so decent?" " Well," " Well what?" "Is there a way." "...this glass?" "What?" "What's your play?" "Weren't you ill?" "You can see that I wasn't." "I just wanted to catch you with that woman." "I'm glad that you found me this way, so you'll get rid of this habit." "Is that all you can say?" "Aren't you ashamed of been seen everywhere with that woman?" "I can tell you that not being my wife, you don't have the right to tell me this." "How?" "I gave you your place by inviting you first." "You didn't want to come, it was up to you." "Well I'm here." "Leave that woman alone and let's go." "I can't leave her." " Why?" " Because I invited her to come." "OK?" "Jorge, try to understand that I'm right." "What's wrong leaving that woman?" "I won't make a fool myself." "No matter who she is, I'll be a gentleman and I won't leave her." "And you leave me standing up?" "Have you forgot who I am?" "I'm your girlfriend." "I'm not a tart." "In fact because you're my girlfriend, you shouldn't play this comedy." "I don't want you to do this again." "Come on!" "Go home, I forgive you." "How can it be?" "Now you're the offended." "I'm the offended." "Then I don't beg you." "I demand you to leave that woman and come with me." "Otherwise, we're finished." " Is that you're last word?" " The last one." "Wait for me there." "What happend?" "Nothing buddy." "I sent her home." "See her bright idea." "She came to order me to leave Victoria stand up to go with her." "Can you imagine my position?" "What did she think?" " And what was the result?" " We're finished." " No man." " Yeah, but it'll be just some days," "You know, she'll be forgiving me, as all girls do." "That's true." "The've got no choice but to forgive." "While they're are our girls, they can't do anything." " See you later." " Bye." "I confess that I felt guilty." "But when I wanted to see Rosario to apologize..." "I found out that you were away." "Now I understand why my daughter came in that night... saying "Dad, please don't mention Jorge again." "He's dead to me"." "And where did you go?" "To Mexico City." "She wanted to forget about you no matter what." "Some two months later, cheeky Pedro came... and all of a sudden, I learnt that they were married." "Well, as long as she's happy." "I don't think so." "She can't be happy with that bad, unloving father." "Do you have a grandchild?" "A very beautiful, nice girl." " In fact, she was born today." " Today?" " And this bastard is..." " Say it, partying..." "He's been like that since he got married." " What a bastard!" " Do you realize my tragedy?" "I feel sorry for you, Mr. Elias." "And you should be sorry for him." "Because you pay the price forthese things sooner or later." "Your car is ready, sir." "Bye Jorgito." "Goodbye son, have a nice trip." "Goodbye Mr. Elias." "Goodbye Chucho." " Goodbye Jorgito." " Goodbye son." " Hi!" "I want you to fix that tire." " Leave it there." "But you're going to lend me a horse, aren't you?" "A horse..." "That's for those with a car." "If you want it, you can take that donkey." " Three kings." " Not useful." "Run." "Hi buddy, how do you do?" "Fine buddy." "And I'm not lucky at all, I don't know what's happening.." "That's why!" "Look at it.." "What an eyesight you have!" "Why don't you go somewhere else?" "There are sights that are worse than a fly..." "I knew a peasant that by seeing his neighbour's cornfield he'd dried it out." " A hundred!" " Ok." "Losing all the time." "We open with a ten." "Once again the same bad luck!" "What's up, Jorge?" "Now I see." "One of those who can dry out a plant has arrived." "Where do you come from?" "What's up, Tules?" "The lost has appeared." "What's up buddies?" " What brought you this way?" " Just to say hello to friends." "Have you got one left?" "Well, those who were... and besides to talk to you, Jorge." "You can tell me when." "Right now!" "Just speak in front of me, so ypou don't give me bad luck." "A card to the center." "Give me two." "No, no, this way." "Over there, lean on that column." "Ok." "What's all about?" "I wanted to talk about the ranch you bought by my property." " The one with the spring, right?" " Yeah." "It's open." " I'm ready." " Give me four." " So then?" " You know that several farmers use water from that spring, and I..." "I pass!" " $300 more." " I can't." "$300 and what's left." "I can't either." "You was telling me.." "I want to work this out, so I won't lack of water." " I pay." " Three aces." "I don't need'em." "Pool of kings." "Terrific!" "And in four cards only." " Well..." " How lucky." "Sure." "You can see where he is." "So... what about the water?" "How much is it going to be for irrigation?" "Oh.." "...being for you, $5,000 a month." "$5,000?" "But all the rest of us pay $200 a year." "You've said so, the rest of you..." "It's $5,000 for you." "If you like it, and if not, forget about it." "I don't know if it's woth to tell you.." "That all my hopes are on that harvest." "If you don't give me water, I'll lose everything." "Hey man." "I'm glad to know that." "I'm glad!" "So you bought that ranch to ruin me?" "To ruin you?" "Do you think that I can do that?" "To you, being so good, honest and loyal..." "Such a good friend!" "Alright Jorge, no way!" "Gentlemen, you learnt how it goes..." "My property in such conditions is worthless... but in some other hands, it's a good business." "Does anybody want it?" "Let's make it easier." "Give me a $1,000 pesos credit to play with you... and if in 1 hour I don't give them back, you can keep it." "Don't bother the gentlemen..." "Good friends are for such times..." "Do you want a rope to hang you?" "I'll gladly give it to you." "Here are $1,000 pesos." "No, I didn't make my offer to you." "Since surely I'm going to lose, well I want my property in better hands." "What do you say, gentlemen?" "I think you should accept." "I won't take it the wrong way, come on!" "$250 each one!" " There are mine." " I even leave my place to the man." "No, you can stay." "I give you the chance to give me the coup de grâce." "What's up?" "I accept." " Give me the chair, buddy." " Ok, you'll see." "$100 pesos to beguin." " You go." " Cut!" "Let's see." "Well see." "The first to speak." "Do you start?" " You?" " No." "I start wit $200." "My turn." "$200." " And $500 more." " No man, that's a lot." "Don't play like that." "No, I don't risk." " It is not that good." " Neither do I." "You'll understand that my shot was not against you." " I want to catch my friend." " Thanks." "What you deserve..." "Your turn, buddy." "$50." "It starts." "Here they are." "Give me some good ones, ok?" "Let's see." "It's good." "There isn't." "I'll see if I'm lucky..." "I start with $200" "I pass" "$200 and your rest." "There isn't." "This time I can't run." "I go." "Do you have a triple?" "Yeah." "Did you bring the deed of your property?" "Yeah." "I was well prepared." "Give me two cards." "Well gentlemen... after finishing here... you go to the notary's office to sign the deed." "And as my gift." "Water is free for you." "My cards face up." "Ah, a full." "To finish it." "A full, three aces and two kings." "Now you've seen, buddy." "Have a better game?" "A two." "Well..." "At last!" "At last?" "What?" " The other four." " Poker on four!" "What a lucky guy." "What a game he had!" " Terrific!" " What a luck!" "The Hell!" "What a luck!" "What a lucky guy." "You won us..." "Gentlemen we have five minutes left for the deadline." "Here's your money." "Thank you very much." "Not even in two years of good harvest I could have won so much." "You had luck." "It is true that rascals have luck." " Good evening, gentlemen." " Good evening." "Wait Jorge!" "I give you all that I won in exchange of water." "Water is all that I want." " Really?" " Nothing else." "Hey man, you could have said so." " Chucho!" " Yes master?" "Bring this gentleman a big bottle of water." "Here you are, master." "Here you are." "Thank you, sir!" "Are you leaving again?" "No, I'm staying as a tourist." "To see if I can take from Jorge... something else besides his money." "Have many days like today..." "Thank you, Madam." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Ok, let's go walking." "Your dress is so beautiful!" "Do you like it?" "It was dad's gift." "One of them, because you haven't seen the main one." "This aftenoon's party." "Such a big party to be remembered!" " Isn't that Jorge?" " General, as everything you organize." "Well, I leave you beacause I have to go to the station to pick up... a very special cognac." "Excuse me, good afternoon." "See you later General." "My good frieng." "I didn't expect you here!" "How do you do, General." "I'm at your service." "Listen Pedrito." "I expect you by 6 in my house." "It's my daughter's bithday." "I guess Jorge and his family will be there, don't they?" "Of course." " You must be there!" " Of course general." "I'm not used to miss such events." " Count me on." " Ok, see you later." "Pedro." " Come here." " Damn!" " What are you doing here?" " You're surprised, aren't you?" "Last time we argued, I said you were a bad man... miserable tyrant of my daughter, I said everything!" "And to repeat that, you bother yourself to come!" "Let me tell you everything I've gotta say, and then you speak, ok?" "Ok." "The problems have with your father-in-law are not for you to abandon your wife and daughter!" "Oh shit!" "Why do you say that I have abandoned them?" "Isn't it abandonment to desert without conset and stay a far away?" "No sir!" "I have to work out an urgent problem here." "It is also very urgent to meet your family's needs!" "That's why I brougth Rosario and the baby this way!" " They're here?" " Yes sir!" "Damn!" "Why did you bring them here?" "Because you musn't show off as a bachelor." "You're married, sir!" "No sir!" "You're going back to town right away!" "You're wrong son!" "From now on, wherever you go... even to hell, your wife and your daughter will go with you." "No, no, no sir!" " You'll see, uncle." " I'm not your uncle." "Unfortunately, I'm your father-in-law!" "You don't seem so." "You seem to be a nosy mother-in-law!" "Oh yeah?" "That's what I look like for you?" "Tomorrow I'll go to Veracruz to take a ship... and I'll go to my homeland." "You stay here with your wife, ...and we'll se how you manage with her..." "Will anybody look after her like me?" "I have even neglected my business." "It's up to you!" "Do you want the nosy mother-in-law to leave?" "Don't do that uncle, don't go." "What will Rosarito do without you?" "That's what I say sir." "If you're a good boy with a great heart, why don't you well behave?" "Behave well with my daghter, and you'll have everything with me." "Not money, but lots of friendship." "Why do you have to be arguing with me all the time?" "Let's go to you hotel to check out and we'll go home." "What home?" "Have you forgoten, Pedrito, that we have our abandoned house here?" "Ok." "Let's go home, sir." "More respect for your father-in law, Pedro." "You're so funny, really." "We'll go in a minute, doctor, don't be impatient." " I'm not in a hurry, Josefa." " Anastasia!" "What happend with my tie?" " What's up doctor." " It's here!" "Do you know who arrived at noon?" " Who?" " Who else can it be?" "Rosario." "She's not that young." "She has a baby." " Is she married to Mr. Pedro?" " Shut up!" "Anastasia, you musn't mention those names in this house!" " This shall be the last time!" " Yes Madam." "You still love her, don't you?" " No, I don't." " You don't fool me." "You're still in love with Rosario." "Not in love." "I'm ill." "It's a chronic illness that goes and comes back when you least expect it." "There's a song for that illness." "A spoon of oblivion... and drops from another love." "Yeah, my prescription is a wedding with Genoveva." "Let's see if insted of a spoon, it's a rub!" "You'll go to the doctor's." "I'll meet you there." "We have a beautiful baby here." "...tha beautifil baby we have here." "Look at the pigeons." "Look at them." "Don't you want to see them?" "We have more pigeons here baby..." "See you later, Chayo." "Won't you stay for lunch?" "I have to go with some friends." "Business lunch." " See you tomorrow, Mr. Elias." " See you tomorrow?" "Does it mean you're coming back at dawn?" "Or by day." "You can nver know." "Have you seen, baby?" "You cannot keep your mouth closed with a man like this." "He's a carouser, shameless." "But to avoid your grandpa been called a nosy mother-in-law..." "We put on my lips a patch." "And we can deal with the carouser." "There you go again, dad?" "I'm saying nothig, but talking to my grandchild." "See you tomorrow Pedrito." "Do well." "Son of my heart." "Try not to come back late, Pedro." "I don't want my dad to start talking." "Don't worry for your husband, Madam." "Pedro!" "Jorge!" "Aren't you ashamed to see me?" "I don't think so!" "If you were ashamed, you wouldn't have come." "Jorge, please." "I feel sorry for you." "When a woman like you and a man like him are join by betrayal... they always finish the same." "She cheats on her husband." "And him, abandoning her!" "It never fails!" "You are, darling... who got me in ecstasies.." "Why should I deny that I'm in love with you?" "From your sweet soul that is full of feelings." "With those black eyes with a strange shining." "That control me and demand me to love you." "You're my delight, you're my illusion." "I know that glory... is in Heaven... and is to mortals... the hope when they die." "I bless God because having you in lifetieme..." "I don't need to go to Heaven." "Yes darling, you're the Glory..." "Sorry to be a little late." "Good afternoon." "Don't worry." "You're just in time." "Please come in." "We'll drink a cognac that is not a cognac, it's a Heaven's gift!" " What are you doing here?" " I was invited." "Sponger!" "Ladies and Gentlemen..." "I want to officialy announce... my daughter's engagement to Mr. Jorge Bueno... who has honored me to ask her hand... and I will tell you that I congratulate myself... because without offending those of you here..." "I wouldn't find a better son-in-law." "Bravo!" "Good!" "Now you pay compliments to the happy couple." "I was ready for it!" "Ready guys!" "Let's start!" "People honestly say... in every wedding bridegroom always love her, but to have his funeral... this bride has no sorrow, because she 'll have a good husband." "Jorge Bueno is a good thing, at least his last name..." "Jorge Bueno is very good... son of Bueno too... and his grandfather, very good, that had his name." "Play for me, but a little higher." "I'll try to be as good as my last name... let him drink his poison who has demanded a funeral..." "Pedro has a bad last name." "I'll answer to his verses." "He only wants to show off, because he isn't bad, is... hopeless." "Pedro Malo is very bad... bad by destiny... and his gandfather, uy!" "What a bad guy... we got to buy him a lion." "On a sunny morning... sombody clouded the landscape... there were a crow and a parrot tearing out their feathers." "You've got to forget the past, if luck is guilty..." "Good and Bad mixed... turn out mediocre." "I'm bad, don't deny it... but I'd like to mix Good and Bad to see... if you get something fair." "Please do something." "Those guys are going to fight." "Easy you scaveger scorpion... you were visiting an apiary... to see if poison could be removed with honey and goodness is not for evil... with honey and his poison, today he's... purged!" "Let him be understood, who can understand him... if he can be understood... and if he can't understand... he's got to be forced to understand." "I'm going to tell the orchestra to play." "Why?" "It is clear to you that I'm not a fool like you... has showed..." "Not a fool, but a meddler... for your hunger... of friends." "I always calm my hunger with my friend's food..." "Beggar, but a beggar who steals his friends..." "You say so." "I stand for it!" "Don't be tired..." " Don't avoid it!" " I avoid it." "Then this song is over!" " Do you dance, Jorge?" " Later." "Let's dance, please." "Later." "They're so playful." "Maruca!" "Why don't you say hello?" "Who are you?" "The same "Periquito" who loves you more everyday..." "Oh yes..." "That Perico who got his head broken for liar." "I would say that I was sent away, wasn't I?" "But you found your cage..." "Not that much." "Just ask me to go, and I'll go with you." "Look, don't start with that crap!" "What crap, you got me spinning." "You're not free." "Remeber your status..." "But now I'm free." "Well, quit bugging me, or you may have your head broken again." "I don't care!" "I love you with all my heart." "They're going to break you in pieces!" "So go away..." "If you haven't leave the town by tomorrow... wherever I find you, I'll kill you!" "Take care, mom..." "Are you sure you won't need more money?" "No, I have enough." "Don't restrict yourself, eh?" "Remember that I want the best trousseau available." "You'll see." "Watch the sharp bends." "Hey sir!" "What's up?" "What happened to Pedro?" "He didn't go." "He's at the casino." "The fifth!" "Here's the ace." "Double!" "Hey Pedro, just think the next play and we'll win." "He loses anyway!" "I pass." "This is the good one." "Well, I won." "This game was well... but I think it's the last one of your life." "Step away, gentlemen!" "This guy is going to die right here!" "I promised him!" "... take your gun out and defend yourself!" "I don't have it." " What a coincidence." " It's not a coincidence, it's deliberately." "You wouldn't shot an unarmed man." "You know me so well... but it won't make a difference." "Lend me this!" "Defend yourself!" "I can't shoot my best friend." "Friend?" "How you dare to say such word!" "Well, in other words..." "I can't shoot the brother of the woman I love the most, do you undestand?" "Gentlemen, you are witnesses." "This guy is a coward and wants to die as a hero." " That's why I'm going to please you." " One moment..." "I'm the one who's gonna please you, as you want it." "Just the two of us in the private room." "All right!" " Good bye, gentlemen." " Goodbye." "It was so close!" "Here you are." " Hey Chucho, bring me a mariachi fast!" " Yes sir." "Woman, open your window..." "So you can hear my voice... the man who loves you is singing with God's permission... you brighten my life... and for that, dear woman..." "I'm singing to you tonight... that's why I'm here to steal... a small ray of your light..." "Wake up." "My love, my goodness..." "What I'm sorry for, my love... is to come here to make you lose your sleep..." "But wake up..." "Wake up my love." "And listen to my sad song..." "That your lover sings that your possessor sings... and it's for your love..." "A t moonlight nights... blossom perfum a starry night and a warm breeze" "behind the grille, covered with flowers the fianceé is waiting... shaking... of love, yes." "When I see those eyes that nervously wait, white stars loved their light." "Breeze scatters a better aroma and all the flowers sigh in love." "For a... glance of those beautiful eyes, the stars and flowers... are jealous." "The breeze... sighs, the sky.." "Fades out... and in the heart.." "Wanders... the jewell... of love." "Well guys," "Share it, ok?" "Ok." " Your cooperation." " And remember." "I never came to sing this serenade." " Let's go." " Ok sir." "Wouldn't you, baby?" "I knew that you had to come down, love." "Good evening, mr." "Elias." "How are you, sir?" "Could you tell her to come down, please." "I want to talk to her." "Isn't it the same to talk to me?" "Of course not!" "What would they think if the see me making love to you?" "Do you mean that you want to make love to my daughter?" "Keep away, sir." "My daughter has an owner." " I'm going to be her owner." " You're drunk." "Besides..." "Once upon the time you wanted me to be your son-in-law, and here I am." "Yeah." "I wanted you to be my son- in-law, but fair and square." "And this way, behind the door, you can't be." "My daughter is married." "But I'm not a jealous guy." "But I am." "My daughter has a daughter." "We send her to the orphanage." "Oh yeah?" "And should we send her husband to the orphanage?" "The husband..." "Hey Mr. Elias..." "What a pity that I can't tell you some matters..." "But I can tell you to go with you music somewhere else." "You don't have the right... to come bugging a person for no reason." "Go away, please!" "Ok, sir." "I'm leaving... but tell Rosario that I love her!" "You want me to tell you that?" "And want about if I don't do that?" "It doesn't matter... she's listening to me upstairs..." "Rosario!" "I'm leaving because your father throws me out!" "But I want you to know... that I love you, I love you a lot!" "But I don't love you, and I can't love you." "You're responsible for that!" "Do you remeber how much I begged you and how you despised me?" "That's why you married Rosario?" "And besides being the girfriend of your best friend... she was your cousin?" "As you ignored me, it was the same for me..." "Well, it doesn't surprise me coming from you." "You're so shameless." "But she, how could she have accepted to be your woman?" "If you grew up together, you were like related." "It's like if I were married to Jorge, how awful!" "Putting it you way you do, it seems awful." "But you can work this out." "Can I?" "Just tell me that you love me and you'll see how fast I untangle this..." " Oh yeah, is that easy?" " Sure!" "You're so cynical and lazy!" "Alright." "But you're the woman I've loved the most in my life." "And you're the man I despise and hate the most!" "I swear you dad that I haven't give him a reason to be offended this way." "I told you darling, Jorge's drunk." "But most important is that Pedro doesn't learn this." "Heaven help us, they might shoot themselves!" "Tomorrow, when he's sober, I'll talk to Jorge." "You'll see that he won't bug you again." "And the only responsible is your husband, that never spends a night at home." "It's clear that he doesn't love you." "He loves me with all his heart, and me too." "Don't blame Pedro!" "Sure he's to blame!" "It is not fair that I have to take care of his duties, while he's out there... fooling around." "Bastard!" "When are you going to stop being so miserable?" "When you do the same." "Watch out your words!" "Watch out your questions." "You're so tricky and shameless!" "What a coincidence, I thoght the same of you." " What are you talking about?" " What are you talking about?" "The music you played Maria last night." "Do you realize the scandal you've made?" "A married man with children... loving my sister and singing a serenade in my own house?" "Why do you make me play the fool?" "Don't talk that much!" "Didn't you sing serenade to my woman?" "Well, that's different." "Sure it's different." "Imagine what they think of me." "When I left home this mornirng there were some kids playing bullfight.." "And one made fun out of me... such a laugh that I became suspicious." "If I'd known that you would react, I wouln't have told you what I said" "I think you told me that so I gave you the water." " Do you think I'd do that?" " Sure!" "You're so cunning and lazy!" "Jorge, I'm tired of your insults." "You made a coward out of me." "But that's it!" "If you got something against me... let's knock the shit out of us to kill ourselves!" " Are you so brave?" " Yeah." " Come on." " You first." "Don't you have it in for me?" "Come on, you idiot!" "Take a look at this." "Can you see?" "You'll die by hitting you with this rock." " Go ahead now!" " I'm not that despicable!" "I've already told you that I can't kill you." "But I can." "Look!" "You bastard!" "Would you have shot me?" "I would if you hit me with the rock." " What a bastard." " Oh yeah." "Well." "Shall we continue or shall we stop?" " As you wish." " No, you decide." "Let's put an end to it." "Well." "It's alright." "Well, what we're here for..." "I urgently need to talk to Rosario." "It's not my business." "You've got to tell her." "One moment sir, we didn't agree that I was going to procure her." " No?" " Of course not!" "We have the right to crawl, but not that much." "Alright..." "Just let me tell you that you won't have water and you won't see Maria again." "Damn you!" "When do you want to talk to her?" "Tomorrow night." " Where?" " In my place." "What!" "To take my woman to your place?" "What..." "Why not?" "There's a party." "I invite you and you go with your wife." "It's the most common thing!" "And what are we celebrating?" "Tomorrow is the 23rd..." "It's my birthday, don't you remember?" "Buddy!" "Congratulations." " Thank you." " I hope you die..." " What's up?" " I hope you die in many years." "You interrupted me." "Alright!" "Girls, look who's coming." "How do you do, Pedrito?" "How do you do, baby." "Is your wife fine?" "She's fine, thanks." "And what about your friend Jorge Bueno?" "Is he good?" "Well." "Pedro!" "What's up General?" "What are you doing here?" " Waiting for you." " Here I am, please come in." "No, I'd rather stay here." "It's a very delicate matter." "You know that Jorge is engaged to my daughter." "Yes sir." "You know that I made public the engagement." "Yes sir." "And you know the banns are being published." "Yes sir." "But what you don't know, because in these matters the husband is the last to know... is that your great friend Jorge Bueno... has dishonoured you..." " Hey General." " That's the word, sir!" "Dishonoured!" ", because there's no other way to name the fact... that he sang a serenade to your wife!" "Shit!" "That was really wrong!" "Very bad done, General." "But since they were friend, maybe it was just for friendship." "What friendship, like hell you will!" "He shouted at her like a mad man..." "I love you, I love you." "Everyone in the neighbourhood heard him." "What a shame!" "Imagine my daughter's state." "To have such an offense on the verge of the wedding!" "She's been humiliated, deceived and vilified." "It's like being kicked in the teeth!" "Well, general.." "You know a man like me has no other way but the arms." "I picked up my gun and I was ready to wash the infamy with blood." "But thinking about it carefully, I concluded..." "That I shouldn't shoot Jorge." "That's a wise decision, General." "It doesn't worth it." "I'm not going to shoot him." "You will!" " Me?" " Of course!" "Even though I'm deeply offended..." "I admit the sacred right to punish that miserable belongs to you..." " You're right, I'm going to kill him!" " Right!" "He's going to have the worst death." " Civil death." " What?" "In these matters oblivion is the best thing, General." "Please excuse me." "No sir!" "That's no men's attitude." " No?" " It's of cowards." " Yes." " And you're not a coward." " No." " Then, kill him!" "That's the only honourable way left!" "Yes sir." "It's the only one." "Jorge surely dies!" " See you later, General." " Where do you think you're going?" "I'm going to take a shower." "No my friend, you must clean your honour first... and then you take whatever you want." "Let's go" "Genoveva," "I think you know about that serenade everybody's talking in town... and I must explain my behaviour telling you frankly that when I asked for your hand I sincerly believed that I was cured... from an illness that deeply affected me..." "Unfortunately that illness has struck me again so seriously... that I think it has no cure." "I think you know it's name." "I don't want to offend you repeating it." "General, would you excuse me?" "I'll be back in a moment." " Where are you going?" " I'm going er..." " To pick up my gun." " There's no need." "Here's mine." "Take it." " I can't accept!" " Why?" " I implicate you." " It's best." "It's going to be a joint revenge..." "You'll pull the trigger and my bullets will kill him." "Take it!" "Well, we'll take joint revenge." "By the way, do you want some soda, General, I'm thristy." "I'm also thisty, but of revenge." "Let's go!" "I'm not worried because I think your father will understand and even say." "Don't worry, Jorgito, it happens to all men." "He'll hold my hand as usual, and he'll invite me to drink." "Yes sir, Jorge is at the Post Office." " Hurry up!" " General, shouldn't we think it twice?" "It's been analized and solved, the offender will die!" "Well, and if there is another guilty?" "How can it be?" "Do you have doubts about your wife?" " Oh no, not at all." " Then?" "Maybe I was wrong." "Jorge did it with my approval." " No." " Yes." "Then, the first who's gonna die it's you, for being yielded!" " Give me my gun back." " Please wait, General." "Let me explain." " There was a reason." " I'm waiting to hear." " Why do I tell you, you won't beleive." " Come on!" " It was to save Genoveva." " My daughter?" " From what?" " Of getting married to Jorge." " It's not for her." " And what is your business here?" "Because my affection is great, for her and for you... and I had to prevent her to marry Jorge somehow." " But why?" " Because he's..." " got some kind of illness." " And illness can be cured." "Let's go!" " Not this one!" " How can you know!" "Science's advanced, and there are medicines for everything." "This one can't be cured." "You've got to beleive me." "Well, if it is a leprosy, or something like that." "You've got it!" "It's not leprosy, but someting as bad." " No..." " Yes." "Imagine the disgrace for your daughter and for you." "Having grandchildren ill- fated, hunchback.." "Without eyes, or a head this size." "No, what an atrocity." "Who would have thought that on a healthy looking guy." "It's what he inherited from his carousing father." "Well, and what does it have to do with the serenade?" "Everything!" "Jorge had kept the secret and thought to be cured... but after the engagement to Genoveva, he realized that he was ill again... and what to do?" "To tell you about it?" "Never!" "You should talk about these things only to a physician... then what to do?" "To imagine an affair to dissapoint Genoveva." "What woman would do the favor, General?" "Only a friend." "We talked to my wife and Jorge sang the serenade... and you know the rest of the story..." "I see." "It was strange taht you defend the lover of your wife." " Of course." " Yeah, everything is clear now." "But not the disease." "I don't beleive it!" " Hey General." " Let's talk to Jorge!" " Why do we need to embarrass him?" " Let him get embarrassed!" "I have to clear up this matter." "And if it is not true this story about the incurable disease..." "I swear on my father's ashes an my militar honour that I'll shoot you like a dog." "Let's go!" "Jorge!" "I'm here to speak as men do." "Here I am, General." "What's all about?" "It's about an illness that..." "Well, we have to be clear." " Of that disease that you have!" " My disease?" "At least that's what your friend said." "And why are you talking about what you shouldn't?" "I demanded it." "Well General, in the end I had to talk about it with you." "There is the first contradiction." "You said he wouldn't talk to me about it." "Well, he's changed his mind." "Well, besides you would have known by this." "Letter to Genoveva where I explain everything." " May I read it?" " Yes, why not?" "Hey General, I think it's no good to learn what friends write." "Silence!" "I think you know about that serenade everybody's talking in town and I must explain..." "When I asked for your hand I sincerly thought I was cured from a disease... that depply affected me." "Unfortunately that illness has struck me again so seriously... that I think it has no cure." "I think you know it's name." "I don't want to offend you by repeating it." "No, my daughter musn't know this." "She had to know someday." "Maybe she knows it." "You're so cool about this embarrassing matter!" "But this is something that happens to everybody sonner or later." "General, haven't you been in such situation?" "Heaven forbid!" "I'd rather shot myself!" "General, that's what one says... but in the end there's no shooting, and you stay there." "It's true that it makes suffer." "But when it works, you enjoy it!" " So you like your disease." " Yes sir, a lot!" "There is no accountog for tastes, general." "You shouldn't speak, your're like me." " You too?" " But I'm not as sick as him." "God, the world is upside down." "Do you have a good physician?" "A physician?" "No, General." "These things are not for doctors." "Either they go by themselves or they distroy you." "I don't understand how can you be resigned." "How can't it be." "Since I was a kid I have it in my heart." "You mean in your blood." "In my heart, blood, soul, even in my bone marrow." "You're right." "He's in the final stage." "But if in spite of all this you demand that I keep my word..." "I marry your daughter." "No, no, no." "There's no need to disgrace innocent people... ill-fated, hunchback, without eyes and bigheaded kids." "Give me your word that you will never think about my daughter." "Well, I promise, General." "Keep up with your plan with Rosario." "I'll make sure that Genoveva will see it." "I'll take her to your party." "There you can be a little shameless so she'll be disappointed, and I'll have no hard feelings," "On the contrary, I'll be very grateful." "Hey!" "Why didn't he shake my hand?" " Don't push it, buddy don't push it!" " You've got to explain everything!" "Hey man, please, I'll explain everything." "Then what, please say yes, Chayito, please." "It's clear, Jorge handles you like a puppet." "It's like you had a ring in the nose, and pulls as you pull a, a..." " A bull?" " Or an ox, it's the same." " Chill out, don't be so evil minded." " You innocent!" "He wants you have another woman, so I could cheat you with him." "He said so!" "And listen, I could cheat you with every man, but never with Jorge!" "Every man?" "Wll, I meant no-one, and even less with Jorge" "I only want to make peace, so we can be friends as we used to..." " Yes..." " Come on Chayito, please me." "No!" "Well alright, I'll go to his party, but I don't want to." "Shit!" "Hurry up, you're going to be late to the party." "Wait, I've got to lock the car." "Because everyone is honest, but you never know." "Hey girl, here comes Mrs. mmm, mmm's wife and his father." "Who are mmm and mmmm?" "Those who can't be named in this house." "Mmmm." "Rosario and Pedro are here, what are we going to do?" "To serve them." "I invited them." "Jorge!" "They say they're going to close my paths..." "They could close the paths." "But my love." "..when?" " What's up Jorge." " What's up buddy." " Congratulations buddy." " Thanks buddy." "Hey buddy, it was very hard to convince her but there she is." "Don't exceed yourself." " No, buddy, me?" " What did you tell Maria about me?" "Nothing came to my mind." "Let's see how you can fix it." "What do I have to tell her?" " Go talk my sister, we'll see if it works." " Ok." " Congratulations Mr Jorgito." " Thaks Mr. Elias." "You look very happy." "Yes." "Today is the first time my son-in- law is taking his wife to a party." "Listen, do you promise no to get drunk?" " Sure Mr. Elias." " Ok." "Congratulations Jorge." "This far?" "What about a hug to your friend." "Why not?" "Don't start, don't exceed." "Behave well, please." "Chill out, Mr. Elias." "Marujita." "I just want to tell you that Periquito can't fly any longer." " Really?" " Yeah." "Since I never earn your love, I want your friendship." "I made peace with Jorge." "Now I want peace with you." "We're in peace." "Do you want to dance with your new friend?" "Why not?" "I just want to ask you something." "Have you ever loved me?" "Are you starting again?" "No, it's only curiosity." "Did you ever love me?" "I don't have to answer." "Mr. Elias, would you like to eat a sandwich, a taco, do you want a soda?" "No thanks, I'm not hungry." "Rosario..." " Do you want to dance?" " Yes Jorge." " I've got to talk of an urgent matter." " Listen Jorge..." "Please don't interrupt." "If you're going to speak about... what I think, it's better to keep quiet." "I'm only asking to be heard." "Jorge, if I came is because Pedro told me that you wanted to make peace." " Let's be good friends." " No!" "If you love like I love you, we've got to be more than friends." " What do you mean?" " I talked to Pedro..." "Pedro told me everything." "Everything." "But I don't care." "You marry me and I'll love your daughter as if she were mine." "It's up to you." "It cannot be." "Imagine the scandal in town." " We clear off!" " Your mother wouldn't allow it." " I convince her." " No Jorge, how would be our life?" " And your sister's hate." " We'll work that out immediately!" " You talk to her and tell her everything." " That's impossible, I don't dare." " You tell her or I will." " No Jorge, please." "Of course!" "Well, since you want to know it so bad, I'll tell you... yes, I loved you." "When you got married I suffered so much." "You can't imagine how I cried." "Then, why did you denied it?" "Because I didn't want to share your love with all those girlies." "You know how women are.." "I thought you love me very little, I was forcing you to love me more and..." "And you forced it that much that it couldn't resist..." " No, you couldn't resist." " But we're in time to fix it." "Do you want to fix it?" "No, I'm not destroying a family, and less if there are children." "Children." "She's only one little girl." " Maria!" "Rosario wants to talk to you." " I don't want to." "But I do." "Jorge, please." "Desperate ills call for desperate measures." " Do you want a drink?" " A drink for this anger." "We've got to take advantage of my mother's absence, and go to the city." "And from there?" "You get divorced, I got married, you got married and..." "We go to the United States!" "And if general discovers that we fooled him with your disease." "No buddy." "How can he know?" "Talk to the doctor." "I know he's looking for him." "We've got to go before the fair time arrives!" "And you, silence." " Sure." " Ok." "I think this is not going to work." "I feel strange." "No buddy, you've got to be optimistic." " What are they looking at my head?" " Your head?" "God!" "This outfit goes after me!" " Hey Pedro." " I want to talk to you." "Excuse me." " What happens uncle?" " I'm not your uncle." "Take your woman, we're leaving right away." "But why?" "Because I'm ashamed." "Don't you realize?" "While your dancing with Maria Jorge is courting your woman, isn't that enough?" "Uncle, there certain things that can't explained to you..." "What the hell, he told me the same thing." " What happens, Mr. Elias?" " It happens that I'm tired of... of your bad bahavior with my daughter." "I'm taking her right away!" "Please keep cool." "Let's go somewhere else that we're telling you the whole truth." " The truth?" "Is there something wrong?" " No, please come." "You're going to tell me everything." "Why do bring me here?" " Sit here." " Please tell me the whole truth, tell me at once what's all about." " Can you see that hole in there?" " Yes." " Sure?" " Yes," " You don't fit there." " Listen to me!" "Listen to me, you bastad, why do you bring me here!" "Hell!" "The General will arrive anytime." "If he speaks to him, we're in hell." " We've got to get rid of him." " I'll fix it." " Jorge, Jorgito." " How do you do doctor, are you fine?" "I was resting in Guadalajara, when I remebered it was your birthday." " I came very fast!" " Didn't you have problems on the way?" "Not at all, in spite of the speed!" " How are you?" " Sweating, doctor." " The heat?" " No, but I'm sweating." " Because of today's excitement!" " It must be." "Doctor, please go quick to Santa Fe ranch, a horse fell on the steward and he's dying!" "I tell you, I just have arrived and I must go to do some emegency healing!" "Go on and carry out your duty." " Doctor, I found you at least!" " How do you do, General." " Very bad, and I'm offended!" " Why is that?" "Because you didn't tell me about what you know..." "I mean, professional secrecy must be kept behind." "What are you talking about, what secret?" " Come so we can speak." " No I can't." "I must go.." " The wounded is dying, doctor." " You see, General." "See you later." " Hi General, nice to see you." " I'm very upset!" "Why General?" "Are you asking yet?" "Genoveva didn't want to come... but I managed to convince her." "I came ahead to make a plan." "She wants to hear your explanation, but we must avoid that." "Desperate ills call for desperate measures." "What do you want to do?" "To attack!" "When she arrives, let her see you very close to... this sir's wife." " And that's it." "So let's get started." " Don't worry General, I'm coming." "I value all that you do for your friend, and thanks for my part." "You're welcome, General." "Very generous your action." "But there's a gossip about you!" "I advise you to leave the town as soon as possible." "We have thought that." "Excuse me." "I've got to go out of here, even at my life's expense!" "Bastards!" "Open, open." "I'm still thinking that you're two shameless!" "But very generous." "Pedro..." "I retract half of what I said to you but we talk the other half later..." " Brother.." " Mmm." "I'm pride of your big heart." "You know how to love." "My daughter has arrived." "Dance or do something, but do it!" "We dance!" " Come my girl, please come." " No please." "Take me out!" "At least they open!" "I'm going to see that bastard." " Disobedient children!" " What happens Mr. Elias." "General, come this way." " Please lend me your gun." " What for?" "To see if Jorge respects me." "Look at him, dancing cheek to cheek with my daughter." " I'll kill that bastard!" " Easy, don't spoil the plan." " What plan?" " There are things that can't be said." " You too?" " Me too what?" "It seems that you have an understanding." "Sure." "The four of us have an understanding." "I'm going to explain, look." " Excuse me." " You're welcome." "Hey," "Aren't you Pantaleon, Santa Fe's steward?" "Yes sir." "Weren't you dying because a horse fell on you?" "Hey doctor, someone joke on you." "What a funny joke!" "Get back." "If someone looks for me, I'm at Jorge Bueno's." "What a hapiness to have you like that... my darling feeling the beat of your heart" "drinking anxiously your breath burning myself in your look." "There are people who die from pain jelous for not being in love" "it doesn't matter that people if God has brought you to me." "God's will be done." "What a hapiness to have you like that... my darling" "feeling the beat of your heart drinking anxiously your breath" "burning myself in your look..." "Dad, give him back his ring, I want nothing from him!" "My daughter, Genoveva, wait... die.." "Jelous for not being in love it doesn't matter that people if God has brought you to me." "God's will be done." "Dinner is served!" "Mr. Elias, it's time to speak honestly." "Don't worry to explain, Jorgito, I'm not that dumb" "I know that is for everybody's good." "Everything turned out as planned." "Here is your engagement." "Goodbye." "Good heavens!" "Why do you say that everything's over?" "Because he has humiliated me, ridiculized me, with a married woman." "Married?" "He inherited that from his father, I'm sure." "Many problems with married women I had with my deceased husband." "No my son, please explain." "The." "General says that everything is because... he doesn't want the children of Genoveva to receive that heredity.." "What heredity and whose are the children of Genoveva?" "But Jorge's!" " Jorge?" " I'll explain later..." " Good evening, General." " Madam, I'm very sorry to let you know that the wedding has been dissolved." "And I'm also sorry to let you know the reason." "I know the reason." "What can I do?" "I'm ashemed." "My deceased husband suffered the same... problem and Jorge inherited it." " Then you knew!" " Of course." "And why didn't you warn me?" "I didn't know you wanted a perfect husband for your daughter!" "No, but with such a disease, it's a tragedy." "No, no, it's a common thing to all men!" "Madam!" "What do you insinuate?" "Come on, General, you may have something to hide." "Madam, you're very wrong..." "General, all that we speak is not to be needed." "Good night." "Hey, now the family is complete." "How do you do madam?" " What are you doing here?" " I came to visit." " Where is the rest?" " At the dinning room." " And Jorge?" " Jorge is with Rosario." "Jorge with Rosario?" "Strange indeed?" "But it's only because the children Jorge has with Genoveva won't be inherited." "What?" "I'm telling you what the General tod me." "Neither Pedro nor Jorge told me.." "Whe I ask, they only say "There are things that can't be explained"." "Is that ok?" "I'll take out a truck without being seen." "I'll wait for you at the door." " I'm taking out our stuff." " We'll go through the front door.." "Pick up my daughter and God be with us!" " Is everything ready?" " Yeah." " No, there's one missing thing." " What?" "This!" "Yeah!" "What the hell happens here?" "A husband holding the other woman." "And her brother kissing the husband's wife in his face?" "Mom, there are things that can't be explained." "I told you so." "Now you will explain or you'll know me." "One moment." "We're going to explain everything." "No, you won't confuse me, nor this one." "Out of here!" " But mom." " Out, I said!" " They told me that!" " They fooled you." "I swear, yeah." "Jorge is a healthy guy, I know!" " Are you willing to testify it?" " Even with doctors, if you will." " Alright!" "Come with me." " Let's go." "Nobody is making a fool of me!" " Wait General." " You're going to hear me!" " Let's talk like people." " You shut up!" "First I'll fight a duel with you, then with you!" "General, there's no need for such killings!" "It's late to explain." "On your way!" " But General, a little bit of.." " Shut up, or I'll fight a duel with you!" "Yes general..." "In spite of everything, Jorge still loves me." "And Pedro loves me." "There's no doubt that tragedy is after us!" "That's why everybody's mad, this poor arab in first place." "I'm no longer an arab, I'm asian." " Why?" " Because they took me for a ride!" "Stop joking!" "I'm not agree with these crossed marriages." "Josefa, come here!" "A terrible tragedy." "The boys and the general are going to shoot themselves!" " We must avoid that killing!" " God heavens!" " That's enough!" " Let me go!" "I've got to punish those bastards!" "Let them finish the party singing, and then you'll kill them!" "No sir, I'll kill them firs, then they can sing as much as they want!" "Easy general, that I'll explain everything!" " No darling, this can't be!" " Please daddy, you're so nice, say yes!" " Is our happiness, Mr. Elias." " But look at the tangle of relatives!" "I'm father-in-law and uncle of Pedro." "As Jorge and Pedro are like brothers," "Jorge is getting married his sister-in-law." "And my poor grandaughter will have two step-fathers, and will be of two uncles!" "That mean that I'm not fater-in-law, but fater of Jorge and Maria." "Maria marries a nephew, then Mrs Josefa.." "Is my woman and my sister at the same time." "What a family salad!" "Please stop, if not, I'm going to be Pedro's mother, and I won't marry him." "Now tell me that Jorge, loving Rosario as he does, wouldn't forgive?" "Any woman can have such a disgrace!" "A country girl goes to the city go to a ballroom and there she's made high, she can't be responsible!" "What a villainy!" "Why didn't you go after those criminal, to be punished!" "She's was thinking only in her disgrace, snd how to suicide." "Pedro is very generous!" "To marry Rosario just to give a name to the child." "That was it!" "Because they were legally married, but they have lived like brothers!" "Now I understand." "But Pedro, how he fooled me!" " What a bastard!" " Excuse me?" " Music!" " Music!" " Music!" " Music!" "Let's forget our pain!" "The party has started everybody comes to the party to enjoy yourselves girls are so beautiful dressed up to the nines with he earrings and their patent leather shoes." "Ah, so many sherbert and orgeat stands the fresh lemonade and jamaica water... we also have melon and strawberry water.." "We have delicious tepache water from red watermelon, but of pineapple.." "Many adorned stands with little flags and ribbon and beautiful ladies serve in there!" "Hot lard, chili and sweet tamales brown doughnuts and gorditas there they play lottery and throw the dice two lovers married." "A maricahi is playing there, and .." "A charro and a lady are dancing." "Our parties are so beautiful." "Everything is hapiness, candies, music and color." "Lots of dark eyes with glittering of stars." "Are looking for a open ranchero." "They're the stamps of my land they're dressed in colors, songs and love." "A singer in sequin... that reflect on its shine the glittering of my stars, my sky and my.." "My sun." "The End."
