"Suddenly" "Hello." "That's nice!" ""Aquarius..." "business and work."" "No, love." ""Love." ""Enthusiasm." "Feelings at boiling point." ""Restless and living with such dynamism..." ""that each day and each dialogue turn into unexpected ways."" "Hi, the fly's back." "Did you bring everything?" "I reckon so." " Shall I sign?" " Sure." "Bye, see you." "Bye, Rolo." " See you tomorrow." " Bye." "And now with the other leg... we flex it again." "We change the position of the arms." "We lift this one and pull the other one back." "Inhale... exhale... and bring the face to the knee." " Then pour in the dough..." " Olive oil?" "Yes, it's better." "When the dough turns golden underneath, you turn it around." "If it won't come off, you can push it with your fingers or with a spatula." "You bake it on both sides and place it in aluminum foil." "May I have the soap again?" "Here are some sugar coated tomatoes, with sweet basil." "Some shiitakes," "Some tender white asparagus, already boiled, and a rice biscuit, baked with rice meal." "Interesting." "Do you want to fuck?" "Are you out of your mind?" "I want to touch you." "You are crazy." "I want to kiss you." "Leave me alone." " You are upset?" " Yes." " Sorry if I scared you." " Leave me alone." " With a guy you'd react differently." " Will you leave me alone?" " Don't you believe in love?" " Yes, I do." "What do you care?" "Wait." "What's your name?" "Clodomira." "Nice name." "It's the truth." "I wanted you the moment I saw you." "You are crazy." "Why?" "You don't believe in love between women?" " No." " I'm not talking platonic love." " I can see that." " So, you don't believe?" "Why are you pestering me?" "What is your name?" "Marcia." "She is Lenin." "We are lovers." "You already have a girlfriend!" "She's not my girlfriend." "Don't get me wrong." "I saw you walking lost in thought and I fell in love." "If it'd happened to her, I'd understand." "Alright, I have to go." "Don't lie, give me some time." "Don't you like sex?" "Not without love." "We are not talking about love, here." "I want to go to bed with you." "Touch you, kiss you, hold you." " I'm not a lesbian." " Neither am I." " Let me go." " Don't exaggerate." "Nobody's stopping you." "I'd never harm you, I like you, a lot." " Why do you say that?" " It's true." " Do you know what love is?" " Yes." " Have you ever been in love?" " Once." " What happened?" " It didn't work." " The three of us could go to bed." " Do you like her?" "At first, I didn't." "I'm getting to like her a bit." "I could even love her." "Lenin is passionate." "We have a good time together." "I have to go now." "Marcia, how can I talk you into staying?" "Do you want to chat, like friends?" " You can't say no." " What for?" "To enrich life, to meet new people." "Why not?" "No, it's ridiculous." "I'm going." "Don't hurt me." "Don't worry." "Let's go somewhere else." "What's so funny?" "I remembered something funny." "What?" " Nothing." " I want to know." " Nothing." " Tell me." "Last summer I was with a friend in Mar del Plata at a beach, there were very few people." "It was a beautiful day." "There was a guy, a cool dude we were looking at, and he went into the water." "We stayed on the beach and he looked back." "All of a sudden he started to move frantically." "We got close to the water's edge and saw that the guy had piranha biting his dick." "He got out of the water naked and bruised and I was laughing because he had such a small dick." "There are no piranhas at sea." "Actually, I heard this on TV." "Why lie to us?" "I don't know." "I'm scared." " I never went to the sea." " How come?" "A well bred girl like you?" "Nobody ever take you to the sea?" " You are lying." " No, it's true." "You never went to the beach?" "I always went to the mountain because I'm asthmatic." "My parents had a house in Cordoba." "I also went to Mendoza." "Hello." "This is the no-smoking sector." "Could you put out your cigarette?" "I asked you to put it out." "Leave us alone." "We are talking." "You can talk, but put out your cigarette." "If it makes you happy..." "Thank you." "I hate these people..." "She was polite, she was doing her job." "I would stick a knife in your back." "You exaggerate, Mao." "I would crush her like a bug." "Or I would throw her into the sea, so piranha would eat her." "Do you know the first rule here?" "Quality, service and..." "No:" "The client is always right." "We're not clients, we're not eating anything." "But if we ordered anything, even the cheapest item, we would automatically be right." "Easy, don't you think so?" "It's not about that." "If you start a scandal, that nice girl could lose her job." " Have you ever worked?" " What does it have to do?" "I can tell." "Don't light it." "Are you the employee of the month?" "What makes you think I'm different?" "You should see me at the shop." ""That's beautiful on you." "It's on sale."" "Enough talking." "Do you want to fuck?" "Don't start again." "I want nothing with you." "I want to eat your pussy." "Have you ever had that or asthmatics can't?" "I'm fat but no asshole." "Perhaps nobody fucked in your small town." "How do you know..." " Your clothes." " What about them?" " I love them." " Small town clothes." "I've lived in Buenos Aires for 6 years." "It's not about where you buy them, you chose it." "I'm not sure about the clothes." "You lied." "You guessed right by chance." "Let's go fuck." "No." "Why not?" "I don't feel like it." "You obviously have fantasies." "Stay right there." "Why don't you want me to love you?" " Is that love?" " Lets not talk about love." "There's a lot we mustn't talk about." "I don't like you." "Is that hard to understand?" "Why do you think I can't love you?" "You have a complex, like all fatsos?" " No." " Of course not." "What keeps you from loving me?" "It's abrupt and I'm a girl." "It's not so abrupt." "We both believe in love at first sight." " About me being a girl..." " I'm not a lesbian." "Neither am I." "Love admits only one delay: action." "Love that has no explanations, has proof." "And proof is as good as love." "Let's go." "Where to?" "You'll have your proof." "I don't know where this is heading." "It's getting worse." "Today I took a lady, she was wearing a hat... she was going to collect 200 pesos and I'm making 20 pesos a day." "I won't be fooled again." "I'm going to Europe, I'll do anything." "It's tough here." "Turn here." "Here we are." "You can look now." "There it is." "Your proof." "We ran out of gas." "Where are you going?" " Where are you heading?" " Wherever." "San Clemente." "Suits you?" "Perfect." " Hello." " Thanks." "Where are you from?" "The capital." "I'm from Merlo, Buenos Aires, close to the capital." "Do you know Merlo?" "Merlo is nice." "I was born there, but I got bored and left." "For 3 years I've lived at San Clemente." "Do you know the aquarium there?" "It's a nice place." "I work there at the administration." "Yesterday two orcas were born." "I'm scared of orcas." "You shouldn't be afraid of orcas, they are harmless." "Like all animals, they only kill to feed." "Cetaceans." "You should see them when they are born, so beautiful." "All animals are cute when small." "The problem is when they grow up." "Maybe." "I'm coming from Las Toninas." "There's no registry for animals here." "I had to register them over there." "The aquarium is at San Clemente and there is no registry." "It's just in case somebody steals them." "They asked me the names, I hadn't thought of it." "What name can you give an orca?" "I can't think of any." "Orca nº1 and orca nº2, that's how it was." "Come and see the aquarium." "You'll like it." "That'd be nice." "This is it." " Enjoy it." " Thanks." "Do you want another one?" "No, thanks." "In Argentina, they live in groups of about 10, and they stay together all their life." "The adult males can measure up to 30 feet, and weigh about 8 tons, and their dorsal fin can measure about 7 feet." "As for the females, they never exceed 20 feet and weigh no more than 6 tons, and their dorsal fin is never longer than 2.5 feet..." "Where are you heading?" " Rosario." " Really?" "Could you give us a ride?" "How many are you?" "Three." " No, it's impossible." " Come on." "I can't." "If the company finds out, they'll fire me." "It would be fine with me, but you know how it is." "Come on, there's plenty of space." "Yes, but it's a risk." "If they catch me, I'm screwed." "What if my friend gives you a blowjob?" "Which of them?" "The one with short hair." "Ok, hurry up." "I must get to Rosario early in the morning." "I'll get them." "The truck's going to Rosario." "Rosario?" "I used to go when I was small." "An old aunt of mine lived there." "Let's go visit Lenin's aunt." "It'll be fun." "I must work tomorrow." " You don't want to visit Rosario?" " I must work." "We can also split." "The panty market won't collapse if you miss a few days." "Take vacations, you deserve it." "No, I'm going back to Buenos Aires." "Go if you want, I'll manage by myself." "You'll stay on your own?" "What are you doing?" "Just a little affection." "Let's get cozy." "Cozy, what?" "What's wrong with you?" "Get your hands off me!" "What is it?" "Don't you like it?" "No if I don't want to be touched." "What is it with your friend?" "What was the deal?" " What deal?" " Yes, the deal." "Monika!" "It's calling." "No answer." "Try this one." "464-8361." "Hello, is Blanca in?" "May I speak with her?" "A relative of Blanca." "I'm not sure I'm calling the right place." "Blanca is about 70 and lives in a house close to the river?" "Could you give me the address?" "I would like to visit her." " I called on the phone." " Yes, that was me." " Is Blanca in?" " No." "Do you want to wait for her?" "Alright." "Come this way." "Will she be long?" "No, she'll be here soon." "Want one?" "Thanks." " You live with her?" " Yes." "I rent a room here." "There's also a boy, Felipe." "Do you have any biscuits?" "No, there's nothing at all." "I'm home!" " Hello." " Good morning." "May I?" "Strange you being around this early." " Did you have breakfast?" " I'm having it now." "Stop it!" "The girls are waiting for you." "Me?" "You don't remember me?" "Veronica?" "I didn't recognize you." "You've changed a lot." "It's been a long time!" "Veronica?" " You ok?" " Yes." "We were in town, I've come to say hello." "They are my friends, Marcia and Mao." "May I have a mate, Delia?" "You've met Delia already?" "She rents a room here." "A great girl." "How's your mom?" "Fine, I think." "I haven't seen her for a while." "She's shacked up with an asshole." "How's Tuna?" "She died two years ago." "She was very ill." "The vet suggested we put her out of her misery." "We buried her there, in the back yard." "You didn't get another?" "No, I couldn't take it." "It was very painful." "Where's the toilet?" "At the end of the hallway." "The toilet does not flush, fill the bucket with water." "Your hair is so short!" "You used to have curls." "How long since we last saw each other?" "Before grandma died, it's been more than 9 years." "Can we stay a few days?" "The truth is I have little space, just a room for rent." "Are you staying long?" "I'm not." "I have to go to work." "What do you do?" "I sell underwear at a store." " In Buenos Aires?" " Yes." "I can offer it to you at half the price." "That would be 10 pesos a day for the three of you." "That's ok?" "Can we go to bed?" "We are tired." "Alright, yes." "Hello, girls." "How was it today?" "A large production?" "No, just a few." "Do you have a cigarette?" "I like them." "I like rolling them on the spot." "They taste different, fresher." "And you must smoke less." "Yes." "Rich, smooth." "Give me a hand?" "To me the house seems smaller than before." "When you came here you were half what you are now." "Then the house would look twice the size." "This yard was huge." "I remember racing my brother in the tricycle." "It was like a speedway for us." "You used to ruin my plants!" "I liked it." "Shut up and sleep." "Hello, Blanca!" "How are you?" "Come in." "How are you?" "Fine, and you?" "I have relatives visiting." "Veronica is Rosa's granddaughter." "She's so cute!" "Nice to meet you." " How are you?" " Fine, thanks." "She looks like you." "I only brought a few today, the girls are lazy." " That's ok." " Next time I'll bring some more." "Do you know what I was doing?" "I was making some cookies I call Dona Amparo." "They are special for mate." "Want some?" " Where did you get that?" " From the fridge." "It's mine." "I bought it today." "You could have asked." "Don't get carried away." "You don't ask every time you do something, right?" "Are they good?" " They are a bit burned." " Baked golden." "You are right, the oven was too hot." "Then I brought it down." "Now they look good, see?" "Looks like it hasn't eaten in years." "Do you feed him well?" "He feeds himself, he eats all day." "This dog is insatiable." "He eats ravenously!" "What did he do to you?" "Fucking dog, he hurt you!" "Don't say that of him, poor thing." "Bring me some alcohol and cotton and I'll disinfect it." "Don't worry." "It's only a scratch." "It doesn't hurt." "Is this dog sick or something?" "Don't worry." "It's properly vaccinated." "He turned out to be nasty." "These lap dogs are vicious." "Now this alcohol is for us." "You look pale." "Have a bit of this, it'll be good for you." "It'll pass." " Have a bit." " Let's see." "It's alright." "Have some, Blanca." "Alright." "Thanks." "What a scare!" "Mao?" "Lenin?" "What are you doing?" "Are you dressed as a roman?" "Do you have something I can wear?" "Yes." " Are you ok?" " Yes." " Come." " Thanks." "Aren't you going to say anything?" "I don't know." "I can tell you are a little pervert." "What are you studying?" "Biology." "What do you do when you are not stealing?" "I fuck." "Will you buy me an ice-cream?" "She never forgave him for leaving her." "Is that so?" "I propose a toast for Dona Jacinta, who must have been born on the day of San Jacinto." " May she rest in peace." " Cheers!" ""Drink, drink and play... the glasses of liquor... help to forget the sorrows of love!"" "Have you painted for long?" "Yes, I always have." " Nice paintings." " They are not all mine." "I like this one." "I did paint that one." "This should fit you." "Try it on." " What do you do for a living?" " Teaching and odd jobs." "Did Mao say where she was going?" "No, she just went out." "With Felipe, I think." "Turn around." "You can keep it, it looks great on you." "I found it in the street and never got round to fix it." "Can I look at myself?" " All I need now are sandals." " I have a pair." " I was only joking." " I know." "But what happened with your clothes?" "You tell me some other day." "Did you see Lenin?" "No." "When will Mao return?" "I'm not the FBI here." " I'm sorry." " No, I haven't seen her." "I hadn't had ice-cream for a long time." "Ice-cream is one of man's greatest creations." "I was operated once and I could only eat ice-cream." "What operation?" "Tonsils." "That was great." "Don't lose your concentration." "Or do you mind my licking it?" "This is like being home." "Drinking mate!" "Among many other things, like being with friends, and mate is good for that, it has many other properties." "Are you ok?" "Yes, just a little headache." "That cheap liquor Ramona buys gives you a headache." "Why do you drink it?" "A little." "Just a little." "I'll lie for a while, I'll be fine." "Shall I come with you?" " Want me to join you?" " No, it's alright." " Do you also want to lie?" " No, I'm fine." "What would I do without Delia?" "And I?" "Doctor, thank you very much." "We learned a lot about mate today!" "It is mechanical for argentines to wake up and have mate, or share mate with others..." "What are you looking at?" "Hippies are back." "Cut it out." "It looks good on you." "I also used to be a hippie." "I wore my hair long, that kind of clothes, I didn't bathe..." "I don't like it either." "I had no choice." "Delia was kind enough to lend me this." "Why?" "What happened with your clothes?" "It's in the laundry." "It was dirty." "What happened with your hand?" "A dog bit me." "Where's Mao?" "She's not in." "You look sad." "You didn't like being a lesbian?" "I'm not a lesbian!" "Are you sure?" "Yes, sure." "Mate doesn't only have social virtues." "It also has many therapeutic properties." "A study is been made in the US and Europe which shows that mate can prevent certain tumors." "It's a recent study..." "Where were you?" "We went out for a walk." "Nice city." "The riverside is beautiful." "We can go tomorrow, and rent a boat." "Water scares me." "I can't swim." "They give you a life jacket, it's ok." "Mao, I need to talk to you." "We are about to prepare dinner." "A surprise, something tasty." "It's important." "Tomorrow I'm going back to Buenos Aires." "Why?" "You are not working tomorrow." "Or are you being exploited on sundays too?" "I've got no business staying here." "You are in a bad mood." "Eat something." "That'll help." "There's some cheese." "It's ok." "I don't want anything." "Hello, it's me, I'm in Rosario." "Just visiting," "I'll tell you later." "I love you, bye." "It's yours." "You liked it, right?" "Yes, I love it." "Thanks." "Could be us three." "Could be." "Is it tempera?" "No, it's acrylic." "I'm awful at painting." "In elementary school, our fourth grade teacher had us paint an apple." "I was so ashamed of mine I peed on my pants." "Really?" "Yes, she nailed our paintings on the blackboard and commented each one." "She came to mine, my sight went fuzzy and I didn't hear her." "I only felt the urine running down my legs." "Teachers ought to be killed." "I once shat on my pants." "Really." "The teacher caught me talking during a math test." "You were copying?" "No, I was telling her how to do it and I got nailed." "I got a one, and I had to stand the whole hour up front." "After a while I had to go." "I said: "sir, I need to go to the bathroom."" "The guy wouldn't answer." "I couldn't resist..." "I could feel the turd moving down my guts and then I just shat." "Just standing there?" "So I said:" ""Sir, I've shat on my pants."" ""Can I go to the bathroom to get cleaned?"" "He felt the smell and let me go." "Dinner is ready." "You know how stingy she is." "Those biscuits!" "What did she call them?" "Dona Amparo." " They are made out of fat." " A real bomb." "Good thing my liver is in shape." " The sauce has meat in it?" " A little." " I'll have some without." " Very little." "I'm a vegetarian." "This girl is so complicated." "It's good." "I'm not eating either." " You don't eat meat?" " I'm not hungry." "Is this a plot?" "I'll sing you a bolero so you will remember me" "yesterday, today and forever let's toast to this to relive those dreams" "that fate has shattered if you leave my life nothing will make sense" "let's fight that fate please, I beg you" "if time brought us apart it was because god wanted and I swear, my love" "that I'll end with my life." "Look at my skin, it looks like raisins." "Don't exaggerate, you are always complaining." "Get in bed, you'll catch a cold." "Will you leave me a cigarette?" "I like yours." "I need that midnight cigarette, or I can't sleep." "Veronica," "I'm very happy to see you." "I mean it." "You bring so many memories back to me." "I'm glad you came." "Me too." "Send my love to your mum when you see her." "We fell out." "I know, but at some point you'll see her." "I don't know." "Say hello for me." "Here's your cigarette." "I'll wake you up." "We'll go to the boats." "I don't like being in the water." "But you promised." "The river is hectic on sundays." "Everybody's there, shouting, and eating candy." "But you promised." "I thought about you all day today." "About your ass." "Come." "You left me all day on my own." "Yes, you are right." "I'm sorry." "Come, I want to touch you." "What is it?" "Are you angry?" "No, I'm not angry." "I'm tired." " Where are you going?" " Let me out." "Tell me where, and I'll let you go." "To Delia's room." "Delia... that's an old lady's name." " Cut it out, let me out." " You're fucking Delia?" " Don't talk nonsense." " Did you try with Lenin?" " What?" " Having sex." " We are friends." " So what?" "It's all the same to you!" "I can tell the difference between a friend, sex and love." "Lenin is very passionate." "She can really make you feel pleasure." "You want to get out?" "Go out." "Come on, go out." "It's open." "Give me a kiss, and I'll let you out." "Give me a kiss." "You want to stay." "You want to stay then." " You want to stay?" " I want to go." "Give me a kiss, and you go." "Go." "Blanca, I want to ask you something." "Go ahead, girl." "Why did you and grandma fight?" "She didn't tell you?" "It was something stupid." "But you never saw each other again." "No, never again." "A pity she had died and we never made up." "Now I'm old." "But if you want an old woman's advice... but what was it?" "See you tomorrow." "What happened to you?" "Nothing." "What are you studying?" "Shall I take the lesson?" "I'm done." "Alright." "What are you looking for?" "It's not much, but it'll do." "I want to leave, Felipe." "Come with me." "I have to study." "Give me my money back." "Don't be a coward." "Learn from the animals!" " Let the tide carry you." " I've got 2 subjects left." "But this is now." "It's not much but I guess you have more." "No, I can't." "I have an exam on monday." "Give me my money." "I want to fuck, Felipe." "You could lose your virginity." "Paying?" "I'm not a virgin." "Let's see." "Have you ever seen one?" "No." "How can you study something you can't see?" "I don't need to see it to know it." "Give me my money back." "Obviously you are afraid of staying alone." "It's falling into pieces." "Here." "People always abandon me." "I had a boyfriend, we were a long time together... almost two years." "I thought we would get married and have children." "That's what I imagined." "But one day he left me." "He said he was no longer in love with me." "I couldn't believe it." "I called him on the phone and asked him to see me." "I still call him sometimes but I don't talk to him." "He got married last month, his sister told me." "His sister was a friend of mine." "I have almost no friends left." "I don't know who you are." "Well," "I'm Lenin." "Nice to meet you." "Aren't you Veronica?" "Yes, that's the name my mother gave me." "I like that name." "Busy!" "Superman was flying over the city and he sees Wonder Woman naked on a roof, with her legs spread." "And he thinks, with my super-powers... in 20 seconds, I can get a super-fuck." "So he sweeps down, 20 seconds... and keeps on flying." "Wonder Woman gets up and says:" ""I don't get it, what happened?"" "And the Invisible Man answers:" ""I don't know," ""but someone fucked me in the ass."" "Now you tell me one." "I don't know any." "You have to know one." "When I like a joke, I forget it when I want to tell it." "Your memory is selective." "Must be that." "I have a selective memory." "When did you find out?" "This morning." "And you?" "This morning too." "I found her and she told me." "It was so sudden..." "Yes, it really shook us..." "You saw her yesterday, right?" "Yes, I saw her yesterday washing the sidewalk." "And I asked her how was she, and she said "fine"." "It shocked me." "It was so sudden." "You are never ready for this." "A pity." "You have reached 4862-4720." "You may leave a message." "Hello, mum?" "What are you doing?" "How do they look on me?" "Good." "You can keep them." "They look better on you." "What did you buy them for?" "It was a whim." "And they were expensive too." "I always wanted a pair like these." "I once stole ones but I've lost them." "I stole only once but it turned out badly." "END"
