"Miss Celia phoned four times, sir." "Didn't you tell her I was at a conference?" "I did, with the Stockholm Opera Director." "So... what did she say?" "She's sick and tired of all opera conductors." "And if you're not at the Ambassador with her at 2.30..." " she'll come and wreak havoc." " Sweet, crazy girl." " Which suit will you wear, sir?" " Light grey." "Will you go to the office, sir?" "I always go to the office." "I'm a hard-working man." " Hard working?" " Of course." " l'll take note of that, sir." "Shall I.....?" "Would you dance with me?" "I will." "I'll take these little parrots home and then..." "Excuse me, sir." "Ambassador, 2.30" "Oh, yes, we want to keep the lioness tame." "Allow me to remind you you're having appetizers with Miss Harter," "And at 8, you're having an intimate dinner with Miss Scart at her place." "Working day, is it?"

"Go, have a drink, I ordered it for you." " Were you alone on the car?" " By myself." " And with thoughts of you." " Thanks." "Oh, dear." "What ever happened to you?" "I've had an accident." "Strange, isn't it?" "Yes, very strange." "What a coincidence..." "so many car accidents." "Many accidents, indeed, but fortunately, only a few casualties." "Hello." " This is a hospital."

" My fatherland's voice, at last." "You seem more interested in the other voices." " Those of the country." " That isn't true." "Mr. Bazán, a radiogram for you." "This is personal, it must be from someone who needs a loan." "Just put it away over there, will you?" " Laurita, does the scar show?" " Which scar?" "There's nothing." "These apothecaries... they've made such a fuss over it." "Oh, mail is scarce!" "All mail has been dispatched." "You're as good as gold." "Nice music!" "Who are they?" "The young men have been waiting for you." "They're my neighbours, Mr. Bazán." "They need a job." "They eat only every other day." " So what can they do?" " They sing, dance, dream and suffer." "Do something for them." "They should be happy of having such an attorney." "Come." " Your protégés." " My friends." " Cheers, guys." " Good afternoon." " Argentinean, aren't you?" " From San Juan." " We come from Puente Alsina." " Tough neighbourhood." " How come you ended up here?" " Anyone can have a bad day." "Everyone should stick to his own." "We dreamt of conquering the world with our art." "What can these savages know about harmony?" "Listen to this, Mr. Bazán." " Say if it's not good." " Let's see." "What can life mean to me, if death will come for me in due time." "What can life mean to me, if death will come for me in due time." "If death will come for me, in ways you cannot imagine lf she weren't as mean as you have been as my lover." "Very good, well done." "See what these guys can do." "So settle down, guys." "I've seen enough." "We'll do what it takes for these harmonies to bear fruit." "Thank you very much, Mr. Bazán." "Mr Bazán, someone's waiting for you at your office." "See you soon." "Let it be pretty soon." "We're tired of munching bricks." "Just bear with me, I won't forget about you." "Here, stand in line." "Hey, syrup." "We've been waiting for 7 days, our beards are growing." " So what can you do?" " We are the 'Fallen' comedians duet." " Fallen?" " This is my partner, Blackie." "Make him scrub his face and see me." " Mrs. Harvard has just called." " Have her call me at home." " Leaving us already?" " And happy to have been of help." "Haven't you seen the radiogram?" "Open it yourself, and reply." " Mr. Bazán, Mr. Bazán." " What's up?" "Terrible news." "Your uncle is due to arrive at 6.15." " My uncle?" "And it's already 6.30." "Hurry, get me to the harbour." "Get me a car." " ls Bazán in?" " l don't think he'll be able to see you." "How's that?" "We'll see." " You?" "Here?" " Yes, to say what rubbish you are." "You can tell me some other day." "Please go, my uncle is coming." "So what?" "He thinks I'm in the mining and leather business." "That's why he came up with the money." "Don't worry." "We'll keep him amused." "Who?" "My uncle?" "Old Don lndalesio." "He's so mean and straight-faced he laughs only once a month on Mondays." " Why?" " lt's when he gets paid." "Go now, I'm in a rush." " ls this Bazán's?" " Yes, uncle. I mean, Don lndalesio." " And who are you?" " l'm the manager." " What's your salary?" " 100 dollars." " A month?" " A week." " Every week?" " Yes, sir." "I'll take that down." "Keep it safe, don't let anyone steal it." " This way, hurry." " l'm not leaving, not at all." "I want to meet your uncle." "You're nuts!" "I don't want paper wasted on margins in the future, as you do in letters." "Paper's paid for, and it's my money that pays for it. ls it clear?" " Uncle!" " Hello there, my boy." "What a nice surprise!" "This way, uncle." "The ship's captain is an old friend of mine." "I bought a third-class ticket, but I got first-class cabins." "So, I said, let's take advantage of it." "Here I am, I'm here for a week." " A week?" "I won't let you go." " Don't tempt me, boy." "I want to have a look at your books." "Set things right, cut down on expenses, maybe on payroll." " And then..." " Sir..." "Here's a letter, the stamp's clean." "We should use it." "My secretary, she's so tidy, knows how to economize, too." "It runs in the blood." "See this fan?" "It was my grandmother's." " Passed on from mothers to daughters." " Might as well be a steel fan." "Big spenders will wave their fans all the time, but I don't." "No, not me." "I just keep it straight and wave my head, so it will last longer." "Marvellous, congratulations!" "By the way, where is your fiancée?" "She's not here today, had to visit her relatives in the countryside." "Shut up. I'm not talking to you." "Fine, then." "100 dollars a week." "Even if I have to stay in NY for 6 months, I want to meet that girl." "My dear uncle, I didn't know you were coming today." "My heart beat faster at the thought of meeting her, and now..." "Come in." "I'm back." "Did you miss me, Alberto?" " ls this her?" "Your fiancée?" " My fiancée?" "Yes, yes, my fiancée." " Come give your uncle a hug." " My dear uncle." "She's a pearl, a true pearl." "Kiss her, kiss her." "Sorry, sir." "A nightmare." "That's nothing at all." "This is a great day for the Bazáns." "I have an idea, let's dine together, all of us, together." "I can't sir." "My aunt..." "Bring her along, no excuses." "She's an invalid." " Poor thing, well..." "then phone her and ask if you may." "Thanks, sir. I'll phone her now." " Excuse me, Mr. Bazán." "May I?" " Of course." "I can't attend." "Don't you know I work at the cabaret?" "Your show's not on until midnight." "You'll make it in good time." " Please Celia, just a week." " Just for a week, hey?" " He might be leaving sooner." " l'll do it for you, ungrateful man." "You won't take this seriusly, will you?" "About the fiancée thing and all." "Otherwise, it'll be Troy all over again." "The old man, hurry." " Did the poor invalid say anything?" " Right now." " So what about my idea of having her pose as you fiancée?" " Was it you?" "Fabulous, I've always said this guy had a good brain." "When your uncle said he'd stay for 6 months, divine inspiration rushed in." "Thanks, 'piñata', thanks Laura." "You've saved my life." "I know a cabaret where you'll eat like a prince." " A cabaret?" "My distinguished self in a cabaret?" "No way." "We'll have a family dinner." "At your house." "The staff." "How much longer?" "Will you see us?" "It's been 7 days..." " Who are you?" " The 'Fallen' duet." "Yeah, fallen... and they want me to pick them up." "Get out, you morons!" "And you're in the leather and mining business?" "Leather business!" "Now I see, it's a naked leather business, as tangos go." " Will you excuse me, sir?" " Shut up, you moron!" "Where's your honor?" "100 dollars a week." "Come, let's go." "I'm not staying a minute longer." "Please, bear with me, 'piñata'." "I'll have to lower your pay." "Uncle's angry, and besides, there's always a scapegoat... and you fit the role just fine." "Miss Scart, this is Mr. Bazán's secretary." "Mr. Bazán apologizes and is truly sorry he won't be able to dine... with you this evening." "Unfortunately, his uncle has just arrived from Buenos Aires l'd love to ask you to have dinner with me." "I can play cards, I'm also a bit of a fortune-teller, and an acrobat." "I can play the piano." "You won't?" "That's too bad." "However, if you change your mind, please phone me at Mr. Bazán's." "Ask for Juan Carlos." "....." "Thank you, madam." "Good-bye." "Yes, uncle..." "I mean, don lndalesio." "Call me uncle..." "So, what do you think?" "I think we'll have a rough week." "A week?" "It's a month." "He's planning to stay longer, to organize the agency." " ls he staying here?" " Where else?" "Then, Mr. Bazán, I'm quitting." "I can't put up with your dear uncle." "Are you giving up on me, right now, when I need you most?" "Me?" "Your dear old boss?" "Your dear old friend?" "Never." " You know what his latest whim is?" "He wants me to get his slippers to him, as I did when I was a little boy." "If there were a way of changing him, making him be someone else..." "He's an undertaker..." " Maybe, the beauty of sex..." " What?" "Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, you'll go to the office and see the... typist, the dancers, every pretty babe you see..." " What for?" " Can't you see?" "We must get the old man go nuts about some pretty lady." "Double pay for everyone." "Tell the girls to be cunning, subtle but cunning... have them tease him, flirt with the old man..." "See?" "We need to do a neat job, don't we?" "Mr. Bazán, you're talking with a professional." " What if he didn't give in?" " He will, take it from me." "Dear uncle, so it'll be ladies for you." "I know the ropes well enough." "I think you'll love this food, dear uncle." "This is good, really very good." "A new maid?" " Margot." "She's just starting." " Good." "Family reunions bring new life to my old heart." " An egg?" " No thanks. I never eat eggs." "Throwing away the shell seems such a waste to me." "This girl is wonderful." "What is it?" "Give it to me." "Hello." "Yes, it's me." "Who?" "Peggy?" "Peggy Johnson." "Bastard." "Tell her it's a wrong number." "Wrong?" "Who knows?" "Don't you worry, young lady." "I'm here to put this moron to rights." "No, uncle, Alberto is charming." "Alberto, pass me the salt, will you?" "Such a polite young lady..." "Hello... yes, speaking." "Betty?" "Betty Morgan." "Betty Morgan." "You animal!" "Thank you, gentleman." "There's no one home." " Petty, Betty." " Betty." "Peggy." "Another one?" "Don't be upset, my dear. I understand you are the 'family' sort of lady." "Let's not argue today, shall we?" "I'll fix this up." "Let's toast to the Bazán's and to your wedding, dear nephew." "For I expect to attend your wedding before I leave." "I'll be best man, and she'll be your maid, won't we?" "We should wait until winter." " No way." " We'll see about that, uncle." "Let's toast to the ladies' health." "Some family!" "Mimí..." "Yes, Juan Carlos." "My nephew's so lucky!" "I love mornings, when the sun rises..." "Just a half-cup." " And one lump." " Sugar?" "No, I'll take this." " Say, have you brought the check?" " There it is, uncle." "So, give it to me." "My nephew's so lucky." "Hey, I should get going, my show's due to be on at 12." "Give him more time, I guess fall asleep soon." "But you're coming to the cabaret." " What about Laurita?" " Let he go to bed." "What about those slippers?" "Wish the ship had wrecked... I don't want slippers now." "I'm very busy." "I feel like a little boy, wanting to listen to a night-time story." "Come, sit down and tell me about Little Red Riding Hood." "There was once a little girl who lost her way in the deep forest..." " Are you sure it's here?" " Absolutely." "We might be arrested." "Will this role of the bride be too much for you?" " Not so, if you keep your word." " My word?" "About the little 'gauchos'." "From now on, your wishes will be taken as commands." "Thanks, Mr. Bazán, that's nice." "Easy to do with such a pretty bride..." "No, your uncle's asleep." "Why keep on pretending we're in love?" "Don't exert yourself, Mr. Bazán." "Sleeping like a log." "Hey!" "Come, we need to clear things out." "Will you kindly explain what those phone calls meant?" "Peggy, Betty." "They're like sisters to me." "So I see you have a large family." " Too many sisters." " Won't you believe me?" "Look into my eyes." "Would a guy with such frankness in his eyes lie to you?" "True, you look decent enough." "I wouldn't bear it if you didn't believe me." "When I'm in love, it's for life." "My own Alberto." "Oh, sorry." "Sorry." "Oh, excuse me." "Alberto." "Coming." "Coming." " What's up, uncle?" " ls the radio on?" "Did you sleep well?" "I was dreaming." "Dreaming of little angels." "Nice." "A serenade." "So whose was it, this excellent idea?" "Your humble servant." "Bravo, don Bronco!" "I am not familiar with the." "currency Excuse me. - 25." "Not much, poor guys, but they need help." "Now let's have a nightcap." "This serenade has propped me up. ls there a good cabaret?" "If I may suggest the Florida cabaret, sir." " What?" "Good idea, I like that name." "Let's go to the Florida and make merry." " l won't go, sir." " How's that?" "My poor aunt is bedridden, remember" "Poor young girl, she takes her duty to heart." "Having a disabled aunt..." "So well, maybe next time." "But we are going." "Come on." " Let's enjoy the nightlife." " Can't believe he can enjoy anything." "So, how will I work with this specimen in the audience?" "I don't know." "Let's just go along with what Fate has in store." " Ready?" " Ready." "May I?" " Nice manners!" " This is New York, uncle." "If I were dancing with a lady... not even the cops would take her away from me." "Times change." "Just time enough for two steps, that was all." "Thank you, very much." " Who's this young man?" " An old friend of mine." "An old friend..." " He's nice." " Really charming." "Charming." "Excuse me." " How did you like the dancer?" " Wonderful, magnificent." " Ask her over." " Do you think so?" " lt's good manners." "So, then we'll be polite." "Waiter, waiter." " What's the dancer's name?" " Miss Parker." "Have her come to my table." "I wish to give her this hat." "Take a seat." "My niece to be, Miss Parker." "Thank you for asking me over, don lndalesio." "How come you know my name?" "I overheard it." "Such a sweet name, so delicate, lndalesio, lndalesito." "lndalesito." "Sounds sweet enough." " By the way, where's Alberto?" " Here he comes." " l guess you know Miss Parker." " Miss Parker?" "Oh, of course!" "Who wouldn't in New York?" "Let's have some champagne..." "a crateful!" "Well, if it's just a crate..." " The invitation is on you." " Of course, a distraction." " Why don't you distract yourself with me?" "I'm really naughty." "Your uncle is funnier." "Please." "To the hope of my breed, when they're by themselves, they're so close." " Really?" " Pardon, Miss Parker?" "Nothing at all, I was listening." "Storm ahead, it seems." "Let's dance." " Would you like to dance?" " l'd love to." "Miss Parker, I must say you're most impressive..." " Not at all, I'm really crazy." " Well, that's what I like most." " l'm nervous, hysterical." " Just what I want." " l'm a big spender." " That's OK." "I don't like thrifty women." "Sometimes I feel like breaking and smashing things up." "Likewise, I'm just the same." "Sometimes I'm Nero himself." "lndalesio." " You're so..." "lovely" " Maybe." "There are worse than I am." " Shall we dance this rumba?" " lt's not rumba, it's fox trot." "Just the same. I always dance, whatever the music, I just dance." " Has Miss Parker phoned?" " No, sir." "Tough lass." " Has Mrs. Celia arrived yet?" " No sir." "I phoned her home." "She wasn't in." " Where's the aunt, which hospital?" " l don't know, sir." "Find out, phone each and every hospital, can't you speak English?" "Yes, sir. I will." "Call Miss Carol." "Miss Carol, Miss Carol." "Come in, Miss." " Yes, sir." " Sit down." "Reply to Messrs. Weber and Co, about your request... we won't come to an agreement, for the time being." "Will you go out tonight, with me... 9 o'clock, at The Plaza." "Forget about the letter." "Tonight, 9 o'clock, The Plaza." "Some country!" "No, no!" "We need to find something else!" "Phone Mr. Bazán." "It's no good." "Mr. Bazán will be here any minute." "Let's go on." "How do you know Mr. Bazán will be here any minute?" "He told me on the phone." "So I guess this role of the bride is pretty serious business, then." " That's none of your business." " lt is, too." " You know Mr. Bazán..." " l don't want you to disclose secrets." "All i know is that you're now a close friend of Mr. Indalesio Bazán's." "Let's not waste any time." "It's not worthwhile." "Why don't we put on a true criollo' show?" " We could give it a chance." " Will the audience like it?" "Don't they love Tango?" "Why shouldn't they like it?" "Let's give it a chance, Dick." "It might be a success." "Please, maestro." "Would you translate for me?" "As my closest friends those who know what I yearn for, sent me their green greetings to comfort me, across bridges and valleys my old wagon flew, carrying its load of hope..." " What do you think of this?" " Suit yourself." " Well, we'll be working at ease, now." " High time, too." " Who will teach us how to dance?" " l will, I'm a 'criolla'." "I can't go on." "This lifestyle will lead me to the hospital bed." "Your uncle at the office in the daytime." "Your uncle at the cabaret at night." "How come he doesn't recognize you?" "Blind as a bat at night." "Alcohol..." "During the day, he criticizes Miss Parker." "At night, he insults Celia." "And, worst of all, he's in love with both!" "Two girlfriends, at his age?" "See this?" "Everyone thinks it's a pet." "But it's not." "It was your manservant's idea." "When don lndalesio gets really dangerous, I just blow the horn and everyone runs..." "Look..." " Where's the phenomenon?" " Luckily, not here yet." "Can't you see how much I love you?" "If I blow the horn, it's because of you, and you don't deserve it." "Would you like to see to dance?" "Of course." "No hurry. I need him now, on big business." "Maestro, more rhythm, will you?" "Come closer." "No, I can't, you go ahead..." "I'm fed up with everything" " Bye, Laurita." " Don't talk to me, you bastard!" "My "china" knows me well, even my footsteps she can make out... but if I step on hard she doubts, if I go at night I get in slowly, I take off my spurs when they make noise." "China, of my life, come, come..." "Don't be so shy!" "They all know that nobody loves you like I do." "when I ask my lass for a kiss," "She pouts her little mouth, the funny girl." "We're eating today, mother Today we'll eat." " He always was a lucky man." " You're right, old man." "This one goes on all right." "Well, coffee is ready guys." "Coffee is ready!" "Not for me." "I'm sick and tired of café au lait!" "To think about the time when we left Buenos Aires..." "They used to call us the conquerors of New York." "If the girl could see us." "Lombardo fought to impose himself too." "Lombardo?" "Who was Lombardo?" " A musician?" "'" " What a musician." "He was a racing horse." "He must be false." " Twenty dollars!" " Twenty dollars!" "Let me see!" "Twenty dollars!" " Hello don Bazán!" " Hello don Bazán!" "Sorry about the joke." "Thank you very much, Mr. Bazán!" "Take a seat, Mr. Bazán." "Nice little place." "Good for you!" " But, where's Blackie?" " He couldn't get out." " ls he ill?" " No, he's in jail." "Well, at least he must have gotten something to eat." "Well, pain is over, guys." "Didn't Laurita break the big news?" "No." "We haven't seen her today." " She must be in her room." " l'll go." "Come here, guys." "Let's be silent for a minute." "I'm gonna give you great joy." "You'll work at the Florida." " No, it can't be true!" " Say!" " No more café au lait!" " Glory!" "And if you are up to expectations, dear gentlemen... there won't be enough money to pay you." "But there are too many stars." "Mr. Bazán, Laurita hasn't come in yet." "Thanks, Cheryl." "The Latin quarter, our own people, passionate and lovers of our lyrics." "Visionaries coming to conquer the big city... and dreaming of going back home." "Just like us!" "Who wouldn't want to go back to our own fatherland!" "The countryside sunrise." "And the Alsina bridge." "The jealousy and melancholy of our little country girls." "Everyone dreams of that." "It's the yearning of swallows." "Swallows of one summer season, ever yearning for faraway skies..." "Native soul, wandering and roaming, trying to stop her is just a chimera..." "Swallows with feverish wings, pilgrims drunk with emotion..." "The crazy compass in your heart ever dreaming of new pathways..." "Little country girl of my home town Young lass of my own neighborhood, the swallow will stop flying one day, there will be no clouds in its eyes, no dreams of faraway horizons... and in your loving arms, its nest it will build." "Its yearning for distance will sleep in your mouth with the sweet fragrance of your one-time love..." "Little country girl of my home town, young lass of my neighborhood," "My wings folded, I'll also come back." "A blue wake of songs blooms along the routes across the seas, and the spell of new landscapes brings music into your voice." "Faraway lands have seen you sweetly sowing harmony and new moons have followed in your steps." "Flying is your fate." "Little country girl of my home town, young lass of my neighborhood, one day, the swallow will stop flying, there will be no more clouds of vague distances in your eyes, and in your loving eyes, its nest it will build." "Its yearning for distance will sleep in your mouth with the sweet fragrance of your one-time love..." "Criollita' of my home town, young lass of my neighborhood," "My wings folded, I'll also come back." "Bravo, Mr. Bazán." "Laurita!" "Laurita!" "Laurita...!" "I was thinking of you as I sang." "I would never have thought you could sing so well." "Frivolous Mr. Bazán." "I have a heart, too." "A heart that's never been lost." "Now that you came into my life." " Laurita..." " Alberto." "My fiancée." "My sweet, young fiancée." "Not at all!" "I'm a paid fiancée." "The silly girl whose role is to make up for your stupid doings." "All you want is just to satisfy your whims, see?" "Just that!" "You won't be tamed." "Criollita'" "Excuse me..." "Excuse me!" "You!" "Again!" "I see you wherever I go!" "This is over for good!" "I never want to see you again, neither here, nor at the office!" "Out you go!" "If I ever see you again..." "you'll regret it!" "In the streets!" "." "Why did I want to redeem a crazy woman?" "Oh, it's Burth." "Thanks." " Hello, Laurita." " Hello, Burth." "I'll be right down." "Will we be deprived of your company again this evening?" "Yes." "Alberto knew I already had an appointment." "Of course." "Have fun, Laurita." "Thanks." "See you tomorrow." "Good night." " Good night." " Bye, have fun." "I guess you're getting too soft with that girl." "She won't spend her whole life by my side... I'm a modern man, too." "But there are some things that seem too much to me." " A cigarette?" " Never. I'm not that type of girl." "You are different." "I've lived this way, my whole, life and I'm not changing." "Live day by day." "Grab the moment." "You look so pretty tonight." "Stop it." "Let it be, at least for one day." "Never, never." "Always with me." "This horn is sacred." "Hope you understand it." "So presumptuous, with such a face." "When will she use a mirror?" " One last drink." " No, thanks." "I wouldn't want to stain my tuxedo." "Did you inherit it?" "See. lt's the latest fashion." "Old lndalesio gave it to me, as payment, when he fired me." "It suits you." "You look fine in it." "Just the thing for you." "Well, let's have a break, guys." "Tomorrow's our great day." "Debut at the Florida." "Hey, where's the alarm clock?" "Here it is." "Let me wind it." "Napoleon." "5 o'clock sharp, Napoleon." "You know old lndalesio gets up early, and we must, too." " Fine, all ready, guys?" " Ready, all ready." "I don't want anyone to tell me... that you have banned me from your sweet life." "My heart wants just a lie, waiting for your impossible call." "I don't want anyone to imagine... how bitter and deep my eternal loneliness is." "Time goes by and the hand of my clock dies in its sluggish nightmare." "In the painful shadows of my bedroom, as I wait, for the footsteps that may never come." "Sometimes it seems to me they stop walking, and will not dare come in." "But there's no one, she's not there she's just a ghost of my illusion." "Vanishing and leaving ashes in my heart, just a vision... the silver face of the clock... shows agonizing hours that won't go by." "There's a parade of weird shapes, that watch me, mocking me." "It's an endless parade... going down towards oblivion, with a spectral grimace... going with her, her mouth, once my own, there's only anguish left, a malady." "In the painful shadows of my bedroom, as I wait, for the footsteps that may never come." "Sometimes it seems to me they stop walking, and will not dare come in." "But there's no one, she's not there she's just a ghost of my illusion." "Vanishing and leaving ashes in my heart, just a vision." "Well, one more victim in his trap." "Good morning, Napoleon." "Get up!" "Get up!" "The police!" "The police!" "High time!" "Time to go." " Where shall we rehearse today?" " ln the hen-house." "No. I'm an artist." "I won't rehearse amongst beasts." "You do as I say." "I agreed to be your agent, under my own terms, so you'll obey." "We'll rehearse in the hen-house, otherwise, I quit." "No!" "No!" "Please, don't!" "OK, then I'll stay." "Don't touch my tuxedo." "Sure!" "Let's go." "Tonight's our debut!" "Glory!" "Dollars!" "The old man!" "Hey!" "Are there leprechauns in this house?" "I'll go get the gun." "He's gone." "So, if tonight's our debut, then we can eat the alarm clock?" "You've been saying that for 5 days." "No way!" "Don't touch the alarm clock!" "Over my dead body!" " Lack of stamina!" " OK, let's go." "Please, not today." "We're all excited about the debut." " lt's everyone's bread." " Just to drown my sorrow." "Bazán's done enough for us." "He finds us settled down in his country house, and laughs." "He protects us, with his money and his kindness." "Let's hope he's happy with us, at least for this once." " Are you coming?" " l'm coming, goldfinches." "Napoleon, poor thing, I forgot about you!" " ls the lady already up?" " Yes, sir, they are coming down." "Miss Celia looked somewhat concerned." " Did she?" " Good morning." " Good morning." "Have you seen my uncle?" "Yes, he came to say good morning." "Was very nice to me, too." "He always gets up in a good mood." "He was so kind." "So kind!" "I had to use the horn." "Had you?" "I didn't hear it." "The horn had disappeared." "Someone took it away last night." "No!" "So, what did you do?" "Well, having no horn..." "No, my dear, that place is for my tuxedo." "OK, ready, guys." "Tough job it was, hey!" "Let's go, come on." " This is my last weekend with you." " Are you leaving?" "Yes, life cannot be a farce forever." "There comes a time when you've got to be serious." "So what are you going to do, Laurita?" " Don lndalesio has changed." " Tell me." "Now he's a modern man. lf we tell him the truth, he'll come to terms." " l'm the one who'll come to terms." " Well, you do that very easily." "I also think I should leave the agency." "I have different plans." "You're always so practical." "Like an automatic calculator." "Not at all." "Living and loving are not just to pass the time, no way." "It's entertainment to you, isn't it?" "How would you know what I feel?" "Let's not talk about it." "Let's stay friends, good friends, shall we?" "You'll be free tomorrow... and I'll still be the poor devil, the dull man you seem to know." "Hush!" "Hush!" "Don lndalesio." "Had a good breakfast?" "Magnificent!" " We need to talk." " Now?" "Right now." "Come on." "Let's leave these businessmen by themselves." "See, boy, life..." "is not a farce." "I'm aware of it." " l have a project." " You have, too?" "Me too, if it pleases you!" "First of all, I'm selling the agency." "Tonight I'm seeing the prospective buyers at the Florida." "Between you and me." " This is not the sort of business for serious guys like us. - l know." "And then, I want you to settle down." "In the oil business, if you like it." "With a home, a respectable home." "Yes." "Sell the agency." "Get me married, if you wish." "Just go for it." "It's all the same to me." "And if we get our throats slit as we turn the next corner, just say yes. I'll agree to anything." "What's going on?" "Businessmen!" "Nothing's going on." "But in terra firma, this bad mood is known as 'love'." "And now, 18 holes in a golf round." "Exercising." "Swimming." "Stay fit." "Got to exercise to stay fit." "Napoleon!" "My son!" "Murderer!" "Hey, why are you going to spoil that guitar?" "Yeah, there's a stone over there, use it!" "Juan Alberto." "Ladies, ready." " So. ls everything going all right?" " Everything's just fine." " What about the 'criollos'?" " Getting ready." "Fine." " So guys, how's it going?" " Hello, Mr. Bazán." "Just waiting for the ribbons to be cut." " What's the matter with him?" " The usual, Don Bazán." "Drink." "Even tonight, when he should be singing his best." " Does he know the song?" " We've rehearsed it 100 times." "Morales!" "Morales!" "Shame on you!" "I need to drown my sorrow, Don Alberto." "But I can't." "I know. lt's heartache..." "Don't let him go to sleep." "And take this advice from me:" "send him home, back to his country." "We should." "Some country!" "A great country!" "Three minutes." "Ready, ready." "Ready." "Don Alberto." "Where's Don Alberto?" "He's backstage." " Don Alberto, Morales..." " Does he keep drunked?" "No way, he won't be able to sing." "Let's see." "Morales!" "Morales!" "Get up, man!" "Morales!" "Morales!" "Morales!" "Can none of you take his place?" "Who's going to take his place?" " Nobody will." "So it's the worse for all of you." "Let's put his show off." "We'll be none the poorer." "So, what do we put on, then?" "Anything, as long as its done by decent people." " You go change your clothes." " Beautiful night!" "William!" "William!" "Laurita, we need your help, do come, hurry!" " Mr. Bazán." " What is it?" "We would have died to avoid this bad moment." "You'll get to know the ropes..." " Just pay them, I said. lt's on me." " Ok." "No, Mr. Bazán." "But..." " if you would only..." " What?" " if you would only take Morales' place." " Me?" " Yes, Mr. Bazán." "Yes." "Do please, you're great." "It'll be a success, triumph indeed." "Please don't." "No, no way." "You can't ask me to take a drunkard's place." "Don't ask me to do it." "Please do understand." "Susana!" "Why are you crying, silly?" "There's no reason..." "Come on, cheer up." " Get me some clothes, hurry." " Fine, Mr. Bazán." "But say, I'm doing this only not to let the audience down, that's all." "Not for anyone else." "Nobody is worth it." "Liar." "He's doing it for you, to stop your tears." "Follow the rut." "Come." "We're almost home." "Sorrowful gaucho, I don't take pity on you.." "because I know you'll tell your love stories to some other poor girl." "If you are looking for a new love, you won't find it..." "Today, my love found its owner, and the dream has gone away," "Parker." "This is not Parker." "My pretty girl is as Argentine as maize." "Neat 'criollo' path, dreamlike and blooming, I want you to be amazed, when she calls my name, upon seeing me come." "Neat 'criollo' path, dreamlike and blooming." "My embroidered handkerchief you've seen me pass by." "As true friends, who know about my yearnings, sent their green greetings to serve as sweet comfort." "Across mounts and valleys my poor cart flew, its load of hope made the wheels crush sorrow, and as I crossed the deep valley and its slow current, new pain was born, making my impulse stop in its track." "For in the waters of that stream, her eyes are known to see themselves." "My nephew!" "This great artist is my nephew, my relative, friend." "Well done." "It's my nephew." "Upon seeing her house, I got jealous even of the wind, who gossiped and told about my love sorrows." "I carry them hidden, to your pretty, colorful house, my whim for your lips, crystal clear for your eyes." "And this sorry singer, he is the one for your white throat." "Neat 'criollo' path, dreamlike and blooming." "I want you to be amazed, when she calls my name upon seeing me come." "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Thank you, countrymen." "So now, let's go home." "My horse and my hut are expecting me." "See you later, 'criollita'." "I'm taking your memories with me." " Cheers, friends." " See you tomorrow." "Juan!" "Neat 'criollo' path, dreamlike and blooming." "My embroidered handkerchief you've seen as I passed." "As true friends, who know about my yearnings, sent their green greetings to serve as sweet comfort." "Bravo!" "Bravo!" " Where's Miss Parker?" " Here." "Thanks." " Congratulations." " Thank you very much." "Well, Mr. Bazán, well done, and thank you so very much!" " Are you happy?" " Very, very happy." "Then so am I." " Good bye, Laurita." " Good-bye." "Cheryl, congratulations." " Very good." " Thank you." "What?" "Then Miss..." "My glasses." " Then Celia and you..." " The very same person." " Can you forgive me, lndalesio?" " Forgive you?" "I'm twice your slave." "There comes Don Alberto." "Do as I told you." "See if you behave yourself." "Yes, Don Alberto." " May I have a light?" " Of course." "Are you leaving as well?" "I can still remember your song." "Your voice carried such emotion." "Thank you." "See you tomorrow, Laurita." " What are you doing?" " Nothing at all. lt's my turn to laugh." " Stop." "Stop or I'll scream." " Scream, then." "I want to get off." "Right now, I said." " Really?" " Of course." "Right now." "Then I won't go against your wishes." "A lady's wishes are commands." "Get off the car, then." "Good night." "Good-bye." "You'll leave me by myself, coward." "No, no, listen!" "Spoilt brat." " No." "Let go of me." " Still?" " Let go of me." " Suit yourself." "Please." "Please, Alberto." "Ok, well, there." "Stop crying." " l love you, Laurita." " l love you too." "But I hate you." "Cheers, Don Alberto!" "You!" " What happened?" " We kicked him out of bed." "Now you have an aunt." "Good-bye, swallow." "Little country girl of my hometown Young lass of my own neighborhood, the swallow will stop flying one day, there will be no clouds in its eyes, no dreams of faraway horizons... and in your loving arms, its nest it will build." "It's yearning for distance will sleep in your mouth with the sweet fragrance of your one-time love..." "Little country girl of my hometown, young lass of my neighborhood," "My wings folded, I'll also come back."
