"I don't know." "I hope that the road will be repaired by the time he comes back." "Mr. Gabino is hurrying up." "Do you know they want to buy the house?" "Which one?" "The one of the Serpent's Well." "Don't know why they want it." "It's quite old." "If they buy it, I might do some little work for them." "Tell me, Ismael, why is it called 'the lovers' guts'?" "If people from abroad started coming here, this village would be a village again." "Then the road certainly would get repaired." "It would get asphalted." "What's that?" "It doesn't matter."

"Berta!" "Take!" "Leave me alone!" "Now it's your turn to stop!" "How is it my turn?" "You've been cheating!" "I heard you!" "You didn't count properly." "You skipped the numbers between 8 and 15." "I've heard you, cheater!" "I've heard you!" "It's not true." "Yes it is!" "It is not!" "Yes it is!" "No, it is not!" "You did it!" "No!" "I didn't do it!" "I counted properly." "You didn't!" "I counted properly!" "Bah!" "It doesn't matter." "It does." "It doesn't." "It does." "It doesn't." "It does." "Anyway, you haven't touched me yet." "I have touched you." "No, you haven't." "I don't want to play anymore." "You're cheating, you cheater!" "Cheater, cheater." "Cheater!" "Did Juan send him?" "No, uncle Domingo's people brought it." "They're leaving this week." "Why did they leave him here?" "So that we feed him." "Agueda!" "What will we have tomorrow if draught doesn't kill us...?" "The same as yesterday." "The same as yesterday!" "I'm running out of oil." "And oil!" "And potatoes, 2 kg." "2 kg of potatoes!" "Oranges also." "And oranges!" "Anything else?" "Nothing else!" "OK." "Matches!" "Berta, look!" "They're taking the furniture to the house of the well!" "Where are you going?" "To the Serpent's Well!" "Berta!" "If your father was still alive..." "Berta!" "Berta!" "Disgusting!" "I've got it!" "I've got it!" "It's easier to catch them at night." "Look." "That was during festivals." "Boys would bring girls to this place and declare their love for them." "Luisito, where are you going?" "To the hut!" "You have to do your homework!" "We have to fix the shower!" "I have to fertilize the orchard!" "What a strong wind!" "It'll carry away the house!" "Where's the spade?" "There." "It's so dry!" "Would you like some coffee?" "Yes." "I don't know if it'll be good enough." "I don't know if it'll be good enough." "Where shall we put the painting?" "In the living-room." "We'll go to the ball today." "Where will it take place?" "It's quite far away from here." "We'll go by car." "Let's go!" "Wait for me!" "Wait!" "Don't run so fast!" "Don't drive so fast." "I have to, otherwise the ball will start." "The best part is always at the beginning." "Nonsense!" "At the beginning nobody dances." "How can you tell?" "You've never been to a ball." "I have been." "You haven't." "I've been." "You haven't." "I've been!" "There used to be balls held in the village every year." "Wow!" "There used to be a bar, and a TV and many other things." "You just can't remember, you were still in the cradle." "That's not true!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "I've been to the ball." "You were a baby." "It isn't true!" "Leave me alone!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "Leave me alone, I'm driving!" "We're driving, don't open the door!" "We're driving, don't open the door!" "Berta!" "Did you take the milk there?" "Yes." "Did you see him?" "No." "His relatives came and asked about him." "He's a strange man." "In my opinion, he's quite insane." "Apparently, the doctor sent him here." "The other day, as I came after picking Luisito up we came across him." "My God!" "What a fright he gave us!" "It was at night." "I don't know..." "Living in a house without light, so old..." "I don't know..." "In my opinion, he's insane." "Done!" "With this, you'll have enough for several days." "Do you like eucalyptus candies?" "They're good." "I'll stay here for a while." "I'm waiting for a woman, you know?" "I don't mind if she's late, because I love strolling around here." "Berta!" "Berta!" "Berta!" "I've been to the ball!" "You haven't!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone!" "I'm telling you!" "Filthy girl!" "Donkey girl!" "Stop!" "I'm telling you!" "Stop!" "Stop, or else I'll hurt you!" "Can't you see that I'm stronger?" "Will you surrender?" "No!" "Shall we make it up?" "No!" "Then I won't ride you on my bicycle!" "I don't care, I'll go on foot!" "My father will never fix your bicycle again!" "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for camomile." "Can I have a look?" "This one's not camomile." "Neither this one." "Camomile..." "Who takes it?" "My mother..." "And sometimes I do too." "Come, I'll show you a place where you'll find all you'll need for a whole year." "I found it the other day as I was strolling." "I love strolling, you know." "Don't you have this one?" "OK, after we'll go to my house and I'll give you some." "The light..." "Do you know why I'm here?" "No." "Would you like to know?" "Come." "Do you come here often?" "Sometimes." "Do you know what this is?" "Do you know?" "A car." "Exactly, it's a car." "An accident." "There's where my wife died." "Anyway, she'll come back." "But she's dead." "She doesn't belong to this shitty country!" "She's beautiful..." "Blonde..." "She's always dressed in white." "She'll come back." "I don't mind if she's late." "I love strolling." "No." "You stay outside." "It'll take me just one second." "I'll bring you a basket." "Berta!" "Berta!" "What are you doing there?" "Come!" "Your mother's waiting for you!" "Where is Luisito?" "I don't know." "Will you take me to the black poplar forest?" "Did you lose anything there?" "My bicycle." "Why did you leave it there?" "Why did you go the black poplar forest?" "To find some camomile." "I see." "Have you found a lot of it?" "That man is nuts." "His relatives visited Mr. Gabino and talked with him." "His wife is very worried about him." "She's dead." "Who's dead?" "His wife?" "She's alive and kicking." "Why did he tell you so?" "Stop here!" "Stop here!" "It's so beautiful, isn't it?" "A very nice location." "Berta!" "Shall we build another hut?" "No!" "Luisito!" "Come back home and wash your face, your cousins are about to arrive." "(one, two, three)" "(one!" ")" "(One, two, three..." "Stop!" ")" "Azucena!" "Good!" "Children go to the dining room!" "One, two, three!" "Hurry up!" "Let's run!" "One, two, three!" "Stop!" "Will you pass by Belardo's house?" "No, we're in a hurry and you have a religion exam." "She's Mr. Demetrio's widow." "Will she stay?" "No, she's come to take the furniture and belongings of the dead." "It's a lie." "She's not his wife." "His wife's dead." "She had an accident and died." "C'mon, let's go." "Mr. Gabino will tell us everything." "Is it yours?" "Yes, I got it as a gift." "Who gave you the gift?" "My aunt Charo." "Will you come to the well?" "No, I must study." "You'll study after." "No, I won't go." "She wasn't his wife." "His wife is dead." "But she'll come back one day." "She'll certainly come back." "She's not from this country." "Did you lose your antiquities?" "Is it the old kind like those with 3 tips?" "No, we can't find it madam." "There's nothing left, madam." "No trace." "What's God's Seventh Commandment?" "The Seventh Commandment is 'you shall not steal'." "What's God's Seventh Commandment?" "The Seventh Commandment is 'you shall not steal'." "What does the Seventh Commandment tell us to do?" "It tells us to respect other people's belongings." "What does the Seventh Commandment forbid us to do?" "It forbids us to hurt other people by stealing their belongings." "What's God's Seventh Commandment?" "The Seventh Commandment is:" "'you shall not steal'." "Look at this one." "With one like this everything's fine." "The battery's run down." "It's better like this." "This way you'll study and pass your exams." "Have a look at this one." "This one is really fantastic." "Look, this one looks like a tank." "Do you know when Juan will be back?" "Not at all." "Yesterday the Police came again." "I don't know what they want." "Nobody ever comes here." "Will you stay for lunch?" "I can't." "OK..." "C'mon, Luisico, enough of studying for today!" "(Voices in the background)" "I'm off." "Won't you wait for Juan?" "I'll meet him later on." "Look!" "That's Berta!" "Today Juan's arriving." "I hope he convinces her to go to school."
