"THE RED SQUIRREL" "Shit!" "Jump!" "Jump!" "Take it easy!" "Take it easy!" "Take it easy!" "Breathe slowly, or you'll choke." "Slowly, do as I tell you." "Slowly and deeply." "Like this, look." "Breathe along with me." "That's it." "That's it." "That's much better." "You were like a fish out of water." "I'd better not take off your helmet." "They say that you shouldn't." "It looks like someone threw you off." "Look, you see?" "We're calling an ambulance." "It won't take long." "You're all right, you've just had a shock." "Does anything hurt?" "Your head?" "What's your name?" "What?" "Look into my eyes." "Tell me your name." "I don't know." "I can't remember it." "Hey, you're a girl!" "You remember that, right?" "A girl?" "Will we look for some identification?" "Come on!" " I'm sleepy." " That's normal." "You got quite a knock." "What?" "You're lying down." "You fell." "You've got no ID papers." "Well, I can't find any." "You know what ID papers are?" " A driving licence and that." " Yes." "Would they be on the bike?" "What's wrong with me?" " I can't remember anything." " Don't worry." "Come on, think." "Who are you?" "Don't try to force it." "No, just think." "I can't." "I don't know." "Say a name." " A name." " The first one you think of." "A name!" "I can't think of any names!" "Where are you from?" "Name a place." "Nothing." "Not a thing." "What's that noise?" " An ambulance." " Good." "Remember I told you we'd called one?" "Yes." "So you've remembered something." "That's very good." "Yes, I think I'm better." "Ask more questions." "What are your eyes like?" "My eyes?" " What are my eyes like?" " Yes, what color are they?" "This is stupid." "I just can't remember." "What's wrong with them?" "Nothing at all." "Your eyes are fine." "What are they like?" "Blue." "Blue eyes that get tangled." "And who are you?" "What's wrong?" "She says she can't remember anything." " Hello." " Hello." "How come you're on the sand?" "I don't understand." "She fell with the bike from up there." "That's something!" "Were you going flat out?" "Hey, lean on me!" "Go on, don't worry." "It's all muscle, really!" " Who was driving?" " She was." "You're lucky you fell on the sand." "A bit further on, and you'd have landed on the rocks." "I didn't fall on the sand." "I was able to jump off before we hit the railing." "What's your name?" "Jay." "That noise is the ambulance." "Very good." "The siren." "Remember anything else?" "I'm dying of sleep." "Go to sleep." "That's nice!" "My eyes are tangled with sleep." " Just a minute." " No, I'm all right." "Then come with me, so we can get all your friend's data." "No, I'm not in bed, I'm not even at home." "I'm working now." "I'm on night shift in a hospital." "Doing what?" "You're a lovely cleaning lady, cleaning empty offices, or a midwife who can talk while she works." "No, right now, all the lights are out, and I'm in darkness, sad and neglected." "All I want to do is dedicate "Let there be love", by Nat King Cole, to someone not in the hospital." "The gas man who serves me .every day." "Well, that will be done right away, but first, tell me your name." "No, not until I find out my gas man's name." " Luis Alfonso." " That's very easy." "For that, and for other things, your gas man can call us on 28 1111 on the program, "Life or Death"." "That's3,000 even." "I'm going to give him a clue to who I am." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Let me hear the clue!" "My radio batteries are dead." "We're dying to hear the clue." "I'm the blond man, with the yellow car." "Congratulations." "Sorry." "You listen to nighttime radio?" "Cause of admittance?" "Motorbike accident." "But it's the girl who came..." "Don't worry." "Girl's name?" "What?" "Her name?" "Elisa Matximbarrena." " Second name?" " Fuentes?" "Fuentes." "That's my name." "Yeah?" "My first surname." "Address?" "Mine." "I mean, we live together." "That's great." "Number 2, Paseo del Kursaal." "Here, in Donosti." "Have you her medical card?" "Bring it tomorrow." "All right." "Your name?" "Alberto ." "And her profession?" "Unemployed." "She's unemployed now." " And you?" " I'm a musician." "Really?" "4 years ago, I'd a group with four girls." "What was your name?" "The Flies." "The Flies!" "Then you're Jay!" "You were great!" "I'm sorry you gave up." "What happened to you?" "The doctors need you." "My arm!" "My arm!" "My arm!" " My arm's gone!" " Anyone know what happened?" "Some bastard ran her down and cleared off." "How is she?" "Fine, just a bit stunned." "Hello!" "I remember the ambulance, everything." "The light, perfectly." "What's her name?" "Lisa." "Lisa." "And why are you here?" "Look closely at him." "Try to remember." "Don't worry if she doesn't recognize you." "She's had an upset and doesn't even know her own name." "You spoke to me on the beach." "I'm Jay." "Remember anything else?" "What did you say my name was?" " Lisa." " No, it isn't." "It comes from Elisa." "But I've always called you Lisa." "When can I take her home?" "We'll keep her in Neurology for a few days, but she'll probably remember everything tomorrow." "I'll be back tomorrow." "They say I've got dark eyes." "Blue eyes, that get tangled!" "And along cat's tongue, you slut." "That's from a song." "There is a place where the squirrels rule." "And that's the leafy and mysterious wood." "The red squirrel comes from Central Europe, and normally lives in coniferous woods." "However, it can also adapt to deciduous woods, with trees such as the oak, chestnut, walnut, hazel, etc." "In these woods, the red squirrel feeds mainly on nuts such as the hazel." "With practice, it can break the shell in two at one go." "Its rear claws are stronger and longer than its front ones." "So squirrels always come down trees head first, bearing their weight on the sharp claws of their rear paws." "Their lightness allows them to reach the flowers on the topmost branches, using their tail in order to keep their balance." "In the mating season, spring and summer, the males begin to defend their territory from other males." "One male defeats another by means of aggressive pursuit." "The dominant male, normally the more masculine, expels the intruder." "There is usually a skirmish, where the worst that happens is the loss of the tip of a tail." "Eli, breathe with me." "They are also cunning, humble and light, like flies, liars, shy but strategic, sinuous, and very capable of weaving clever plots behind men's backs." "I'm Lisa, your amnesiac friend." "Remember?" "The red squirrel, capable of jumping -12 feet from tree to tree, is the only ruler in the mysterious wood." "Elisa Matximbarrena's room, please." "The specialist wants to see you." "Follow me." " The relative of 112 is here." " Send him in." "Come in." "Sit down, please." "Are you Elisa Matximbarrena's husband?" "We're not married." "We're against..." " ...marriage." " So am I." " But we've lived together..." " Yes, well..." "The neurological exploration and the scan were normal." "But she remembers nothing before the accident." "She has retrograde amnesia produced by a blow to the head." "How long could that last?" "In general, it's very difficult to know how long it may take." "Days, months..." " Has she other family?" " Just her parents." "But they're touring the U.S. by bus, until the end of August." "In that case, only you can help her." "You must stimulate her memory bit by bit." "Remind her of pleasant things and don't mention the accident." "She'll stay here a few days." "A psychiatrist will treat her with induction or hypnosis." "That often works well." "Did you bring her ID?" "I forgot it." "I need it urgently for the report." "Sure." "You're Jay." " Are you my boyfriend?" " Yes." "That's what I thought, from the kiss the other day." "That was last night." "I dreamt about you." "What did you dream?" "I'm not telling you." "You have to do memory exercises." "Do we live together?" "Yes." "Since when?" "It's four years now." "A long time." "Well..." " Where?" " In an apartment by the beach." "That's nice!" "We were meant to go on vacation today." "Yeah, to a campsite, beside a lake." "Know what a lake is?" "Of course." "Well, imagine the two of us, ." "lying in the sand by a lake." "We've been imagining it for 3 months." "What do you work at?" "I mustn't tell you anything." "You've to rediscover me bit by bit." "What about me?" " Am I good at anything?" " Yes." "What?" "Shoes." " Shoes?" " Yeah, you work in a shoe shop." "You're kidding." "You did, now you're unemployed." "Why?" "The shoe shop closed down a few months ago." "Just as well!" "What a shock!" "Do I love you a lot?" "Yes." "How do you know?" "Everyone does." "You're crazy about me." "What about you?" "I'm the same." "Then kiss me." "Like the other day." "Here." "Going with Eli?" "Eli took her car, she's left me." "I put the stove and some pots in along with the tent." "That's great." "I knew about Eli already." "Yeah, I reckoned she'd told you all." "Anyway..." "Jay, she's a psychiatrist!" "He's her boyfriend." "Hello." "You brought me something?" "Come here." " Shall we continue?" " Yes." " I have to name them." " Come on, next photo." "Felix." "Go on." "Ana." "Julio." "It's a woman." "Julia, then.Jay." "Who's Jay?" "He is." "Don't stop." "Felix." "Who's Felix?" "Just answer!" "Come on!" "You've said Felix twice." "In this and in number thirteen." "And they're similar." "It's the same person." " What does Jay stand for?" " Alberto." "Did I say Alberto?" "Still, I said lots of J's." "Julian, Julio, Jaime..." "We'll carry on with this tomorrow." "Would you come with me?" "Just for a moment." "I'm very interested in amnesia, and cases like Lisa's are rare." "Would you tell me all you know about her?" " Sure, whenever you want." " What about now?" " My office is upstairs." " I'll be up now." " I want to speak to Lisa." " I'll wait in my office." "It's all sorted out." "Get dressed right now." " We're going on vacation." " Really?" " What a great bike, Jay!" " It's yours." "You've prepared everything." "It's marvellous." "I'll look after the helmets, and you can drive." "No, you drive." "I'm going to navigate." "I've got a map." "Jay, I don't want to drive." "That's a pity." " Why?" " I can't drive a motor bike." "Neither can l, I've forgotten." "Don't tell lies." "So how did you manage to get the bike here?" "Come on, I'll hold you." "At least tell me how to start it." "I think it's like this." "Now a great song by a group which disappeared 4 years ago, "Elisa", by The Flies." "Elisa, dream," "Bird of blue iron and of salt." "Mystery!" "I dream that I live," "I dream that I live within you," "and I live" "surrounded by iron, treading on salt." "The Golden Tree Campsite." "Here's another one." "The Corn Bunting Campsite." "Tell me a quality you have." "The See You In Summer Campsite." "Maybe." "You can't ride a motorbike." "What can you do?" "They're all beside the lake." "It's really a reservoir." "I know you're very something." "Very fast." "I've got amazing reflexes." "Show me." "The Alepo Pine Campsite." "I intend to test you." "The Red Squirrel." "That one!" "It's got a beach too." "The Red Squirrel Campsite." "Mediterranean atmosphere." "Sounds good." "It's settled then." "Let's go." "Jay!" "How did you do that?" "You had time to do everything." "It was easy." "I had to throw my helmet in the air so as to catch yours, put it on have my hands free again, and catch your helmet before it fell." " This helmet smells of you." " I'll put on yours." "THE RED SQUIRREL" "I'm sure I know you." "I doubt it." "THE FLIES" "You have to sign." "Both of you." "I'll go with you." "All right." "This is it." "Enjoy yourselves." "Thanks." " Good-bye." " Good-bye." "What a pity!" "We can't see the water!" "It's right there." "Just behind those pine trees." "We have the best beach." "Thanks." "Jay, you made a good choice." "Dad, can we help?" "Go ahead." " Hello." " Hello." " You going to help?" " Yeah." "Pass me the rods." "Here they are." "Ana, take the small ones." "Hello there!" "Have you come far?" "No, from San Sebastian." "We're from Vitoria." "Well, I'm not, my husband is." "Hello." "We come here every year." "I'm Carmen." "I'm Lisa." "And that's Jay, my boyfriend." " How are you?" " Hello." "Your children are real capable." " The little one isn't mine." " Isn't she?" "Poor little thing." "Ana's my daughter." "They spend the whole day being mother and daughter." "Look, do it like me." "Very good." "Dad, count one, two, three." "Now!" "One..." "Two..." "Three!" "Why don't you have dinner with us tonight?" "We're right there." " Yeah, great." " Right." "Thanks." "Don't tell them you've got amnesia." "I won't say a word." "And don't get too friendly." "We won't be inviting them back." "Why not?" "We came here to relax so you can get your memory back." "Anyway, you don't like families." "You disapprove of kids, and I can't stand that taxi driver." "Come on, sit down." "Christ!" "What reflexes!" "Yes, he's got amazing reflexes." "I'm jealous!" " Yeah, he's very fast generally." " Really?" "I was the 100 meters area champion." "Jesus!" "What a coincidence!" "Our son, Alberto, is a runner." "He's in Vitoria." "Is he running?" "No, he has to study during the week." " He failed five subjects." " Six." "Well..." "Music doesn't count." "Alberto's my husband." "He can hypnotize people." " How old is he?" " Thirteen." "You'll meet him tomorrow." "He's coming for the weekend." "And are you sporty too?" "Yes." "I'm a swimming champion." "We must see you in action!" "Yes." "You can give us a demonstration!" "You're a pair of champions." "That's how we met, winning at trials." "If I hadn't had to start work so young, I'd have been a great rally driver." "Carmen could tell you." "We've often been close to death, but as he's a good driver..." "You're still here." "Right." " You're lucky!" " Good evening." "Enjoy your meal." " You look lovely." " Thank you." "Hey, Carmen..." "Begoña, you're getting better." "Aren't I?" "Do you mind if the little one sleeps with you in the caravan?" "If it's a problem, just tell me, really." "No, she can sleep with Cristina." "It's too much!" "And she always eats with you." "I must give you a present." "She's a darling." "Prawns?" " You're eating prawns?" " Yes." "You want some?" " No, but let me pay for her." " Absolutely not." " I insist, she's my daughter." " Don't be silly." "But Ana didn't eat any." "She didn't?" "Why not?" "She doesn't like prawns." "Look, keep the money, please, Begoña." "No, not at all!" "Have some prawns then." "Well..." "Begoña's been a widow for two years." "Now she chases after Germans." "Her husband, the poor man, died in the car, because on a journey. he fell asleep." "But the thing is, he was German, and she wants another one, because, apart from that, it seems that they can do their stuff." "Well, I'm going to bed." "I have to get up early and go pick up Alberto, and I want to be in form." "I want to do Vitoria in under fifty minutes." "Guess what average speed that is?" "Just guess!" "I don't know." "One hundred and seventy!" "Average!" "I'm going to try." "Lisa, I'll show you my photo album." "I'm going to get some sleep." "Good night, mermaid." "So long, champ." "That's my house." "And that idiot is me, in the patio." "It was my neighbor who took the photo." "That's Alberto, my athlete, the one I love most of all." "Look!" "Our wedding day." "Mine wasn't like that." "But didn't you say Jay was your boyfriend?" "Yes, but we're so recently married, I forget." "Gran dad's taxi's going to come with Dad in it." " And who's Grandad?" " The taxi driver." "You're my daughter, Ana, I'm your mother, Cristina." "Alberto, who's in Vitoria, is your father Alberto." "The taxi driver's your Grandad." "He's the father of your mother and father." "Understand?" " Dad's a taxi driver?" " No!" "When will he come?" "Right now!" "I'm his wife waiting for him and you're his daughter." "And we wait for him together, do you see?" "Do you see or not?" "Yes, but he's not coming." "I told Carmen we were married." "I heard you." "Well?" "Are we married?" "We're against matrimony." "And before?" "Was I ever married?" "It's very hot in here." " What do you work at?" " Nothing." " So what do you live off?" " You." "I'm a house person." "But I'm unemployed!" "Yes, well, we're in a bad patch now, but you'll find something." "What a nerve, you're useless." "You're lying." "I bet you're good at something." "Jay, you and I..." "Are we good people?" "They're coming!" "Look!" "Average speed..." "Christ, that's scary!" "There are no tricks." "This doesn't lie." "Hi, husband!" "Next time I'll thump you!" "Hi, Dad!" "Alberto's staying here all week." "How fast does the bike go?" "Ask her." "It's her bike." "Yeah, the bike's mine." "But the one who can really drive it, the real star, is him." "On a bike, he's number one." "Is that true?" "No, she's just showing off." "Don't ever trust that girl." " I hear you were a sprinter." " Yes." " Would you race me?" " No, I wouldn't." " And you, can you swim?" " Yes." " I'll race you at swimming." " Sure." "Ready!" "Go!" "Come on, Alberto. come on!" "Be careful, Anton!" "Careful!" "Where's Lisa?" "Do you see her?" "You pushed her under!" "Shit, what a girl!" "Look!" "It's Mom!" "I'll introduce you to my daughter." "No, Anton, really!" "You don't mind keeping her do you?" " No, give her to me." " If it's any bother, do tell me." "You see?" "She's really blond." "Ana!" "We're off, and thanks so much." "You're real sweethearts." "Goodbye, my darling, goodbye." "Well, then?" "What do you like me to do to you?" "I don't know, I can't remember." "What do you like me to do to you?" "I like you to tousle my hair, to caress me, and to suck me." "I like cooking for you." "I do it every day." "I've got amnesia." "My boyfriend's reminding me of nice things." "Another bottle of wine?" "Yes, please." "And you..." "What do you like?" "Me?" "Swimming in the reservoir at night." "The water is full of hands." "Careful." "You won't get away tonight." "Where are you going?" "I like you to strip off very slowly, and then strip me while you talk dirty." " You say some incredible things." " Really?" "Like what?" "Then I'd sing in your ear." "But what I like most of all is cooking for you, looking after you all the time, having you around." "That's wonderful!" "Go on." "I like it when you get on top of me, and squeeze me real hard between your legs, and when you rub against me." "I love your fingers in my mouth." "Don't move!" "A plane's coming." "I want to get it passing overhead." "Eli, I'm crazy about you!" "You and I have to go on a trip!" "What would you like me to do to you?" "I like when you grope me from behind, as far as you can, and forwards, and then lift me off the ground." "Then squeeze my nipples with your fingers, or better still, with your teeth." "I like you to strip me real slowly, then I climb on top of you, and squeeze you real hard between my legs." "So that you can't get away." "How can you remember that?" "I don't remember, but I feel it here, in my throat." "What would make you scream with pleasure?" "What drives me crazy is when you bite me, not very hard, but not gently." "You have to bite me all over." "You have to bite me all over." "...for the dedication recently from my gas man, Luis Alfonso." "I was particularly touched that he called me his client." "But tonight I want to reveal my name." "I'm called..." "Salvador." "...Salvador." "Did you enjoy that?" "These tracks are from a rat, a big one, too." "This campsite must be full of rats." "They're a squirrel's." "There are no squirrels left here." "Look at the pines." "This is reforestation." "It's all a lie." "Here, my Mom sent them over." "We'll give it a chance." "Now we've to let it act, without watching." "It'll come down the tree real quick." "Eli, do you know the world we live in?" "I'm not sure, but you called me Eli." "Eli or Lisa, they mean the same." "E-li-sa." "One step forward." "Slowly." "Two more steps to your right." "Stop there." "Stop!" "Ask her anything." "She'll answer without..." " ...realizing." " What happened her?" "Don't you see?" "She's hypnotized." "That's interesting!" "Have you tried with older people?" "No, but I could do it with Mom, she's weak." "One day I'll hypnotize her, so she can clean and not get tired." "Could you do it to Lisa?" "Well, if she's willing..." "You could sleep up there." "Can I ask her something?" "Sure, go right ahead." "Cristina, what can you see right now?" "A squirrel eating a shrimp." "Lunch is ready!" "Jay, Lisa, you too, eh?" "I've loads of paella." " No, thanks, Carmen!" " We'll be right over!" "Right!" "Cristina, give me a hand." " Bring out the glasses." " Okay." "Come on, champion." "Do it for me." "To be a woman, ride a motorbike and do it well.Jesus!" "It's doubly remarkable!" " Or triply!" " Thank you." "You never say that to me, Jay." "You're an exception." "I don't know any woman who drives well." "And I speak as a professional." "You haven't the reflexes or the aggression." "And, it's stupid, but you haven't got balls." "And it shows, doesn't it?" "I haven't got balls either." "That's why I don't drive and can't recognize your merits." "You never let me get a licence." "What the hell for?" "We only have one car and that's for work." " I could help you." " I don't need your help!" "So can you ride the motorbike or not?" "She can answer you." "Let's see what she makes up." "Jay is useless, he can't do a single thing, except fuck, cook and lie." "Where's Jay?" "On the motorbike." "I knew it." "If you knew how you've turned me on..." "From now on, you do what I tell you." "All right." "You and I came here to be alone." "We don't need this family." "All right." "Brutal accident in San Sebastian." "Motorist knocks down couple in hit-and-run." "But Alberto doesn't begin with J." "It's a bit odd, isn't it?" "Why is he called Jay?" "It's a nickname from work." "Where does he work?" " Who, Jay?" " Yes." "He's a mechanic." "If you saw how he fixed the bike." " Fast, is he?" " Yeah, at everything." " And what do you work at?" " Me?" "Shoes." " You sell shoes?" " Yes." " I did, I'm unemployed now." " Oh, no!" " So I can study." " What are you studying?" "Animals." "I'm crazy about zoology." "I do envy you." "Yeah, I guess so." "My life is so boring." "Anton is in the taxi all day, and I clean three houses." "With my own, four." "Come and stay in my house for awhile." " In your house?" " Yes." "I'd love to!" "It's full of animals." "What do you have?" "Everything, especially birds." " Who looks after them?" " Just now, my brother." "Where do you live?" "Right at the beach." "Oh, I'm so envious!" "Come on, then." "You can forget about your husband." "It would be great to get away from the house for awhile." "Look." "Hello!" "I came along with Carmen." " She works so hard." " Hello, Jay." "Give her our address so she can visit us." "Have you got any paper?" "I'll write on the paté." "14, Euskalherria St., -4th Floor." "If you buy such a small table, we can't invite anyone." "I'll lend you mine, it can seat twelve." "We're right beside you and it's easy to move." "Right, and one day you can come and eat at our tent!" "Terrific!" "How was it?" "It was excellent, you cook very well." "I know that." " It's tasteless." " It's the same as always." "It's always tasteless." "And why can't you tell me where I was born?" "Just that." "Why does it matter?" "I could situate myself a bit!" "You won't tell me the names of my parents, or if I have brothers or sisters." "You must exercise your memory, and there's no rush here." "The advantage of camping." "One day you'll say, I was born in San Sebastian." "Yeah?" "In San Sebastain?" "Madrid, Lisbon, Frankfurt, Gijon, Zaragoza, and Donosti." "It was in one of those." "I'd prefer Lisbon." "I hope it was Lisbon!" "Are you going to leave the bike stuck up like that?" "No, we're going to drive round the reservoir.We have to talk." "Yeah, but you drive." "Fucking hell!" "She's got some lungs!" "You can't take much!" "I got bored down there." "Take it easy, breathe in time with me." "Breathe slowly." "You're like a fish out of water." "What do you know?" "About what?" "You know more than you say." "What do I know?" "I have the feeling you're lying to me." "I think you've begun to remember but you won't say so." "Why?" "What for?" "I don't know." "But you like playing with me." "Really, you're playing with everyone." "Don't say that." "I remember absolutely nothing and I don't even care." "Do you love me?" "When I finish counting to three, and I say "Three", you'll be completely hypnotized." "Are you scared?" "No, I like it." "Then, when you hear "One and three", with a hand clap, you'll waken up, and you'll remember nothing." "All right, don't you worry." "Stare straight into my eyes." "One..." "Two..." "Three..." "That's odd." "Cristina always stays awake." "Do I?" "Ask her something, to see what happens." "Do you hear me?" "Yes." "Of course, it's a hypnotic sleep!" "What's your name?" "Sofia." "That's wrong!" "Please, leave me alone with her." "I want to ask some personal questions." "But can you waken her?" "Stay close by and I'll call you." "She's not here." "I know nothing about her." "I'm Jay." "Do you know me?" "Yes." "What's your name?" "Sofia." "What else?" "Tell me your surname." "Fuentes." "Do you live alone?" "Are you married?" "Shit." "Is your husband called Felix?" "What's wrong?" "Are you afraid?" "Where is your husband?" "He's looking for me." "You see?" "Nothing!" "Nothing!" "Not a sign of her for over a week!" "It's my sister's husband." "She was sleeping here." "These are her things." "But she isn't here." "Do you think I'm not worried?" "I don't know what's up between you two." "She said nothing." "You know how she is." "At times she just appears and disappears." "The most likely thing is that she took off, when she heard you were here." "She didn't even take her stuff!" "Don't worry, Salvador." "Take it easy." "I gave you gas the other night." "You have a red Ford Capri." "I'm not to worry?" "But it's very odd." "None of us knows where she is." "What happened to you two?" "I'll tell you." "There isn't any mystery." "Hey, come here!" "She won't answer or waken up!" "One and three!" "Give her a kiss, that might work." "Do you remember anything?" "What happened me?" "I'm burning." "I love her from my entrails." "I need her like I need my liver, my brain, my eyes." "Without her, my bones shatter, my lungs melt and I can't breathe." "I need Sofia to live." "I'm going to stay with you, Salvador." "I'll wait here until you hear something." "Why did she leave you?" "Did she explain why?" "Sofia isn't well, and she needs me." "I'm her angel." "Jota, I love you from my entrails." "And you?" "Did you hurt yourself?" "Remember anything?" " No, I'm still the same." " Good." "Why?" "I like you more as an amnesiac." "Oh, yes?" "You've got areal nerve!" "Hey!" "Did you hurt yourself?" "Want hypnotized?" "Want to touch my ass?" "You'd like to feel me." "I know you want to." "You're itching, aren't you?" "Now it'll bite you." "I left the radio on!" " Alberto, go on." " Give me a break!" "Cristina..." "Ana can go, she's our daughter." "Absolutely not!" "Absolutely not!" "Do you like lots of lettuce, lots of tomato, or what?" "With a bit of everything." " Like that?" " Thank you." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " You speak German?" " No." "You prefer it like that or with more tomato?" "Just with tomato, if I may." "No problem." "Give me some with just tomato." "It's for Blondie." "Where did you learn German?" "In Germany, but I was born in Lisbon." " Jay, I can speak German." " Yeah." "Now we move on to our Help Line." "We are searching for Sofia Fuentes,25, blond, 5 foot6, -119 pounds, who is mentally deranged, and is travelling on a motorbike, registration SS, 7766 AC." "That's the number of Lisa's bike." "We repeat." "We are searching for Sofia Fuentes, 25, blond, 5 foot6, -119 pounds, and who is mentally deranged, and is travelling on a motorbike registration SS 7766 AC." "Anyone with information please telephone the San Sebastian number, -288323." "I'm not deranged." "I'm not mad, just amnesiac!" "All I have is amnesia." "We had an accident recently and I lost my memory." "But that doesn't make me crazy, does it?" "Why are they after you?" "Because this is August 22nd." "Lisa got married very young to a guy who soon went crazy." "They tried all kinds of induction techniques, even hypnosis, but it was useless." "Lisa left him and he chased after her for ages." "We met up and started living together." "Since then, for four years now, every August 22nd, their wedding anniversary, he puts that message on the radio." "I'm your amnesiac girlfriend, remember?" "What happened?" "A pine cone fell on your head." "It's happened before in this campsite." "Let's see." "What's your name?" "Jay." "Very good!" "What color are your eyes?" "Blue." "He's all right." "Come down to the bar." "I'll give you a glass of brandy and you'll be fine." "Don't touch it." "I'll put on some music." "Don't worry, it could happen to anyone." "Elisa, I dream, bird of blue steel and salt," "I just don't understand why they say I'm deranged." "Do you?" "Don't you worry." "It's obvious your husband wants to hurt you." "What he wants is for people like us to mistrust you." "But we'll support you." "We're on your side." "But why put it on the radio?" " What for?" " To fuck you up." "But what does he want?" "That guy's a bastard, and he's in for it!" "Look." "I've got the number here." "I'm going to phone him and tell him either he withdraws the spot or I smash his face in!" "You'll see!" "You'll see how he soon stops." " That guy's an asshole!" " Who?" "Don't call that number." "It's dangerous!" " Why?" " Don't get involved in this." "It's got nothing to do with you." "I'm not scared." "You have a wife and two kids." "The less you know, the better." "It really bugs me!" "Nobody makes me shut me up!" "But Jay says it could be dangerous for my family, so..." "Thanks for offering to call and being so brave." "But Jay's right, he knows what he's saying." "Why did you stick your nose in?" " Do you remember anything?" " No." " My husband's called Felix." " Good, you're making progress." "I said that name twice to the psychiatrist." "I still remember the awful feeling those photos gave me." "You want us to go somewhere else?" "Why?" "Are you afraid?" "Hi, love." "I'm finally here." "He's come to get me!" "Sofia, I need you to breathe," "Without you, I've no air." "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill him, please!" "Kill him!" " Jay's faster than you!" " Oh, yeah?" "Yes, he's a champion sprinter." "Run!" "Let Felix see you run!" "Ready..." "One and three!" "You're slime!" "A liar!" "You weren't on the bike!" "You made it all up!" "So what?" "I don't care!" "That's true." "It doesn't matter." "It was she fooled you." "Don't you see she hasn't amnesia?" "Hey, you're a girl!" "You remember that, right?" "What color are my eyes?" "Come on, think." "Who are you?" "Where are you from?" "Name a place!" "Sofia never had amnesia!" "Where are your wonderful reflexes?" "Don't hit him any more, please!" "Where are you?" "Tell me where you are!" "I'll go pick you up!" " I'll never go back." " Tell me where you are, or I'll smash his face in!" "Jay, even if he hits you, I love you!" "Lisa, tell him where you are, please." "In The Red Squirrel." "I knew that already!" "Sofia has a magnificent mind." "You'll see that one day, asshole." "It's real hot in here." "We're looking for Sofia Fuentes." "We repeat, Sofia Fuentes." "Don't drive too fast." "And you're to study, hear?" "She is mentally deranged and is travelling on a motorbike, registration SS 7766 AC." "Good-bye, daughter." "Good-bye." "Work hard!" "You're not to play that game again!" "That's the third time today." "The guy's a pain." "You should turn off the radio." "Lisa's a bit upset." "I'm sorry, but as you said he only did it on August22, I thought today would be safe." "Why do you call her Lisa when the radio calls her Sofia?" "Yes, why?" "Elisa is the title of my favorite song." "The group that played it broke up just when we met, so I changed your name." "Thank you." "Your head?" "Fine." "The sight of blood made you faint." "I'll spend the day in Vitoria to see if I can earn a bit." "And I'll take him back so he can study a bit." "He does nothing here." "Well..." "See you tomorrow." "Good-bye!" "Here." "Mom, you're so good." "I love you lots." "My little girl." "You're the good one." "Too good." "You're going to suffer a lot." " Hello." " Hello." " Yes?" " Is Felix there?" "Yes, speaking." "It's about the spot on the radio." "You've seen Sofia Fuentes?" "Yes." "Where is she?" "With me, we're together." "And who are you?" " I'm not telling you." " All right." "Why are you calling me?" "Why did you put on the spot?" "Ask Sofia that." "I already did." "She doesn't want to see you." "And she's annoyed because you say she's deranged." " Annoyed?" " Why do you say she's deranged?" "What's Sofia doing with you?" "Who are you?" "And you?" "Are you her husband?" "Where are you?" "In Vitoria." "Another guy's just called from Vitoria too." " Because of the spot." " What did he say?" "I'm not telling you." " But one of you is lying." " Me.I'm lying." "Listen, Felix." "We know that fucking taxi driver, and as we knew he was going to phone you, we've just left." "I'm phoning from a bar, on the motorway." "That's why we called, so that you'd know." " Is Sofia there with you?" " Yes." "Get her on the phone." "Sofia, speak to him." "She doesn't want to." "Hold the telephone to her ear, I'm not going to bite her." "Speak." "She's listening to you." " Mom's crying." " Why?" " Otto's gone." " Where to?" "I don't know, for ever." "Poor Begoña." "Good morning, mermaid." "I'm going to fix a fantastic breakfast.Just you wait." "Then we'll pack up and go." "Why?" "Carmen!" "You want to keep our table?" "We can't take it on the bike." "I phoned home and they're not there." "Don't worry, they'll have been held up somewhere." "It's twelve, they're always here by nine." "Christ, if any thing's happened to them!" "Come on!" "Mom!" "They're coming!" "Oh, my God!" "Thank heavens!" "Alberto, my baby!" " Why make all this fuss?" " I was worried." " I expected you at9.00." " Ah, fuck it!" "Fuck it?" "She thought you'd been killed on the road!" "Are you telling me how I should treat my wife?" "I'm not." "Then just shut up!" "Fuck!" "I'll kill you!" "Stop it!" "Pig!" "What the hell's going on here?" "Hey, faggot!" "If you can't control your girl I soon will, all right?" "All right." "We're late because he went drinking last night." "He sent me to sleep at Patxi's." "Little fucker!" "Lisa!" "There's someone by your clothesline." "Sofia, I remember your smell." "Since you left, there's no air." "I'm drowning." "So I've come to get you." "Who are you?" "Hello, I'm Felix, Sofia's husband." "She hit her head in an accident, and lost her memory." "And who believes that?" "You?" "Sofia has amnesia?" "And who are you?" "My name's Jay." "Very brave!" "And what else are you?" "Come on!" "He's Lisa's boyfriend." "So you're her boyfriend." "And she's got amnesia." "You're a conceited lizard, a lying dwarf, you're lower than a rapist." "I've been living with her for six years." "A month ago she left me, but we're still as one." "You're not her equal!" "You can't even imagine who you've been with." "Look at her!" "She remembers me, she knows everything." "You're so naive!" "She lied to you!" "She's too much for you!" "Why don't you ask her who she wants to go with?" "I'm her angel." "Without her love, I don't exist." "My head is empty." "The blood doesn't flow in my veins." "That's a lie!" "You see?" "I don't bleed." "Lisa, wait!" "Lisa, wait!" "Fucking hell!" "You nearly ran me over, you bastard!" "Get out of my car!" "Fucking madman!" "You're a hell of a driver!" "Why are you after her?" "What's up between you two?" "Don't you know?" "Then you don't know." "You're the lunatic who runs people over." "I was different before." "To love, you have to give." "I gave her my life, all I've left is the car." " What will you give?" " Where does she live?" "She hasn't let you get on the bike." "Give up, you've lost her." "Have you given up?" "Lisa, come." "I have seen death very close." "My teeth were hurting." "The bed of the reservoir smelt of earth." "I don't know where you are or where you live." "Really, I know nothing about you." "I don't know you." "But I hope that some day you'll get in touch with me." "That's why I don't go out of the house." "I've stayed in for a month." "A month without seeing you." "At least, call me." "Even if it's just that." "To hear your voice." "I'm dying to hear your voice." "Lisa, I've written a song for you." "Lisa can call us from 1.00 to 4.00 a.m." "The telephone is28 1111, here at "Life or Death", and we'll give her the name of her lover, who won't give his name." "We know it starts with J." "He requested a song for her by the group The Flies, and which is called "Elisa"." "Elisa, dreams, bird of blue steel" "and salt." "Mystery!" "Give me a sign, Lisa." "I'm sure I'll see it." "Come on, let's go." "Talk to my brother Salvador." "Who looks after them?" "My brother." "Salvador!" "I'm called Fuentes too." " Yeah?" " My first surname." " What's your surname?" " Fuentes." "Well, Jay!" "Fancy seeing you here!" "Hello, Salvador." "How do you know my name?" "I heard you say it on the radio." "That's nice." "Now you listen to the radio at night." "So..." "Did you capture your gas man?" "I heard you too, last night." "It was lovely." "I was moved." "You know her." "Why?" "I brought her in here." "I made up her name." "Really?" "Her real name is Sofia Fuentes." "She has your surname." "She was Fuentes before, but as a second surname." "You've a good memory." "She's your sister." "Yes." "She's told you something, for sure." "For sure." "Where is she?" "You're asking a lot, after what you did." "Has she got her memory back?" "I think she has." "Well, she hasn't." "Because Sofia never had amnesia." "She fooled you from the start." "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "But I couldn't believe it." "On the beach, after the accident, she was dazed, but in the ambulance it all came back." "You know about Felix?" "They found him in his car, drowned in the reservoir." "The police were after him for knocking down four people." "I must see your sister at once." "I wrote her a song." "Tell me where she is." "Please!" "Do you love her?" "What do you think?" "Did she say she loved me?" "She works in the Madrid zoo." "Lend me your car!" "Lisa, you hadn't amnesia, you lied from the start." "I'm not an idiot." "Our relationship served no purpose." "We're two strangers." "I wrote you a song, but you..." "You wasted your time with me." "Be quiet." "You still don't know what I am." "Shit!" "Don't say anything."
