"You've let me beat you." "You had no reason." "I made Ana." "What?" "You've heard me." "I made your girlfriend." "The last time Tenoch had felt like that he was 11." "He head noticed his father's picture on a newspaper accusing him of a fraud in the import of spoiled corn for the poor." "Tenoch and his parents moved to Vancouver for eight moths." "Tenoch never asked the reason." "Luisa didn't know about Julio's confession." "During dinner, though, she felt the tension between the two friends." "She sensed the broken equilibrium that she had to reestablish." " Good night." " Good night." "Good night, Tenoch." "What's up?" " Don't you sleep with Luisa?" " Fuck off." "How many times did you make her?" "Only one, and I was drunk." " When?" " Stop it." " No, tell me." "When?" " I don't know." "How's it you don't know?" "While you were at Lake Tahoe." " And where was Cecilia?" " She was sick." "Was it at her place?" " No." " Where then?" " At a party." " What party, asshole?" "I don't know, dude." "It was Fruity Loopy's party, I guess." "The party when Saba took her cherry?" " I guess so?" " What are you laughing, asshole?" " Saba." " Don't laugh!" " Who started it?" " Both." "We were so fucking drunk." "And where did you do it?" "In the sister's room." "How was Ana dressed?" " Shit!" "I can't remember." " Was she wearing pants or a skirt?" "What panties was she wearing?" " What panties?" "You've heard me!" " White, I guess." " Did she take it in her mouth?" " No!" "Look at me, idiot." "Did she suck it?" " Did you lick her?" " No, of course not." " Did she come?" " How do I know?" "It was very quick." " Did she enjoy it?" " How could I know?" " And you, asshole, did you enjoy it?" " No, no." "I felt like shit, I swear." "I wanted to tell you..." "Fuck off, asshole!" "To hell!" "You've broken our friendship." "The trust!" "You made my girlfriend." "You've screwed me!" "And me, idiot, bringing you those fucking comics from Lake Tahoe." "And a shit of a dress for that whore of Ana, fuck!" "Fuck off, dude." "Fuck off." "Tenoch, forgive me, pal." "I didn't do it on purpose." "Not on purpose?" "You can maybe stomp her foot not on purpose, not screw her!" "Right?" "Not make her!" " Not make her!" " No." "He went on all night long." "Tenoch engaged himself in an endless quest for details." "He wanted to make a puzzle with pieces that wouldn't always match." "In the meanwhile, Julio melted some details to build a less painful truth." "Lady Martina gave Luisa the stuffed mouse with her name on it as a present." "It belonged to her grand-nephew Luisa Obregòn died of a sunstroke crossing the desert of Arizona looking for a better future." "Luisa believed that the dead kept being present." "She wondered how long she would live on in other people's memories." "But she didn't want to fill her mind with thoughts of death." "She heat has hit you, too?" "A crazy heat." "Hey, where are you going?" " Stay here." " I wanna see Rasputin." "Listen, I don't like the idea." "Had Julio come into my room, it would have been the same." "Bullshit." "If you think I'm the driver, fuck yourselves." "Go fuck off!" "Calm down!" "Fucking hogs!" "Me, me, me, me." " The shoes." " The what?" "Shoes." "Okay, pul"em off." "Now this way, this way, this way." "Come here!" "Give it to me." "Come, feel me." "Be calm." "Quiet." "Look at me." "Look at me." " Wait for me." " Careful." "I'm sorry." "Nevermind." "Be quiet." "Luisa, I'm sorry." "It's just that..." "Don't act this way, come on!" "Wasn't this what you wanted?" "It was your game, right?" "Taking me on a trip to fuck me, wasn't it?" "So what?" "God, what idiots." "I shouldn't have done it with none of you." "That's what I should have done." "I didn't want to hurt anyone." "Do you believe me?" " Do you forgive me?" " Yes, yes." "Let's go." "Me too." " You too, what?" " Julio." "Me too, asshole." " You too what?" " I made your girlfriend, Ceci." "It's not true." " When?" " After the Plastilina Mosh gig." "Son of a bitch." "That's why you brought me home first, right, asshole?" " Where?" " My place." " Your place?" " In my room, dude." " She had flowered panties." " Did you screw her?" " The asshole made mine." " What happened to Three?" "Don't fuck the others' girlfriends." "That's Five!" "Get out!" "Get out, asshole!" "Now I'll tear you to pieces!" " Open!" " Hey, guys, stop it!" "Fuck..." "A classic for a boor." "Now the boor's gonna smash your face!" "Blow me, dork!" " Fuck off!" " Snob queer!" " To hell." " Julio listen..." "Son of a bitch!" "I thought you were different, but you're animals!" "The futile Manifesto!" "Not following your own rules!" "You mark your territory and quarrel but you just want to screw each other!" "That's what you like!" "Who cares if you screw each other's women, if you come immediately?" "Who made me do this?" "I'm here changing diapers." "Seen, asshole?" " Come on, get out, open!" " No." " She's leaving." " You've pushed her." "How could you make my Ceci?" "That whore!" " So we're even, right?" " Even?" "Not fucking even!" "Get on your knees, like you made me do." " Come on!" " I'm sorry." " On your knees, son of a bitch!" " She's looking for a lift." "I know, asshole!" "On your knees!" "Move away." " Move away if you want me to get out." " Here you go." "Come on, I won't do anything." "Out." "Sorry." "On both your knees." "I beg your pardon, Julio, for screwing your girlfriend, okay?" "Come on, idot, she's leaving." " How many times did you make her?" " Just once, what do you think?" "You're not a charrolastra anymore!" " You don't mean anything to me anymore." " You neither." "You're a piece of shit!" " Come on, Luisa, get in." " No." "I'll take a bus to Puerto Escondido!" "To hell with you and Heaven's Mouth." "We want to go there with you." "Why?" "To quarrel." "No, thanks." " We won't quarrel." " We promise." "I can picture myself, with two dorks." " We've been assholes." " We'll do as you say." "You command." "It's a few steps from here!" " it's close, come on." "But we do as I say." "At the first quarrel, I'll go away." "As you say." "Now I'll set my rules." "I'll make my Manifesto." "You've gone beyond, Julio." "I won't fuck with any of you." "Fuck each other, if you wish." "I sunbathe naked and I don't want you around and horny." "I choose the music." "You're required to kindly shut up when I say so." "You cook." "Not another word on your poor girlfriends." "Keep a distance of 6 meters." "If I prefer so, 100." "You'll take care of all the labor." "You'll speak only if you already agree." "But if you just shut up, it's better." "It's forbidden to contradict me." "And especially pushing me." "Julio and Tenoch didn't know where they were or how to get to their destination." "Saba's indications were contradictory." "Afraid that Luisa might found out, Julio took a country lane." "They thought Luisa was sleeping." "They didn't know that her fear prevented her from doing so." "It had nothing to do with darkness or with what was surrounding her." "Hey!" "We got ceviche fried fish and beer!" "Jesus Carranza, known as "Chuy", and his wife Mabel the fourth generation of a fishermen family." "They lived there, close to San Bernabe." "Chuy offered himself to escort them to the beaches the next day." "He asked them 350 pesos, including lunch." " Let me drive it!" " No." " I know how to." " Fine then." " Don't push it too much." " I know, I know." " Nice place to have a bath, that one." " Name?" " The Heaven's Mouth." " Very beautiful." "Fine." "Lucero!" "Don't harass the lady!" "Don't worry, Mabel!" "He's teaching me how to swim." " I'll help you." " No, I can make it on my own, thanks." "Go to your friend, he's all lonely." "The water is warm." "Go." "Let's see how you play dead." "Oh, she's dead." "Oh, Lucero." "Christian is a whiner." "He spends all night crying." "He only stops in my arms." "He likes to be with his little sister." "So pretty, isn't she?"

"That's why he's a regular of the national team!" "That's why!" "What?" "Don't you like Campos?" "Wouldn't you want to live forever?" " Yes." " It'd be beautiful." "No?" "By the end of the year, the family will move away because a new luxury hotel will rise in San Bernabe." "They'll move to the suburbs of Santa Maria Colotepec." "Chuy will create a transports company but will be hindered by the Acapulco syndicates and by the Consortium of Tourism." "Two years later, he'll be a cleaner in a hotel." "He won't fish anymore." " Heck?" " What?" "What the hell?" " Speed up Chuy!" " Shit." "Get away from here, you bastards!" "Not that way, no!" "They're shitting inside here, dude!" "Get out, bastards!" " You're throwing shit on me!" " Out!" "Let's go!" "Quick, litlle shit!" "The pigs tore the camp to pieces." "It was evening already, and Julio and Tenoch decided to sleep in the city." "For 75 pesos, Chuy had found them a room with light and a toilet." "Luisa was tempted by the idea of a shower, although a cold one." "They would go tomorrow to pick up their stuff." "The 23 pigs had run away from a farm near there." "During the following 2 months, 14 were sacrificed." "3 will cause a gall-bladder infection after having being eaten at the "El Chavarin" ranch." "Don't spin, asshole!" "Tell your mother what you want." "Let me talk." "Let me talk or I'll hang up." "I would have left anyway, Jano your call makes everything easier." "I' grateful for that." "This is not a revenge." "I've always known about your betrayals Carmen in Escorial and the one in Barcelona." "I've always known." "I just hoped you would change, that's all." "My decision has nothing to do with that." "I can't explain now, but soon you'll understand, okay?" "Don't blame yourself and don't blame me it's nobody's fault." "No, I don't hate you." "And please, don't hate me." "Listen, Jano, listen." "I'm calling to say that I love you, and that you've been my life." "I don't expect a happy farewell, but let it be affectionate, at least." "Calm down, please don't act this way, please." "Did you notice I took less money than what was due?" "No, I don't need more." "I'm fine." "I let my keys in the kitchen." "Don't lose the terrace key, there's just one copy." "I took the T-shirts from Ibiza." "You know I like to sleep in them." "I just hope you learn to be happy." "I am now." "Take care, Jano." "I'll hang up now, okay?" "Bye." "Fuck you!" "Rematch!" "I'm grateful to all the women Jano has betrayed me with." "How did I notice?" "Fucking with him." "He experimented with me the things he learned from the others." " You finally understand." " Like the finger in the ass, right?" " Yes." " Come on, really?" "But you must know how to do it." "With delicacy." "You can't just stick it in." "Jano was a master of finesse." " To the master of finesse!" " To Jano!" "Jano, wherever you are." "I'm glad I've met you." "Sometimes you're fuckheads, but in the end you're really smart." "You have the luck of living in a country like Mexico." "You can breath life everywhere here." "To the sweet Mexico!" " To Mexico!" "Magic and musical." " So, are you friends or not?" " No." "Come on, make peace." " And so I'm a boor?" " Right that." " Do you remember that big thing?" " Fuck, that's my car." "And me, Mr. Delicacy?" " Okay, okay." "A hip guy." " But you like coming to my place?" "To see what your father steals." "But his father is a honest man, right?" "Isn't he honest?" "What assholes!" "Now you're friends again." " To the charrolastras!" " To the charolastras!" " Want beer?" " Yeah, pretty cold." "Sure, sure." " Luisa." " What?" " I'm sorry for the push." " Oh, Julio..."

"Each one has certain qualities." "But who made you feel better?" "I'll mimic Tenoch coming:" ""Honey." "Honey!"" " I don't believe it, pal." " Julio crosses his eyes." "But you must stop jacking off and improve your resistance." " He came sooner than me!" " Both do some training." " And number Seven?" " Eliminate it." "Chuy, isn't jacking off cool?" " To jacking off!" " Yeah!" "You can't toast to jacking off!" "By the way:" "You don't know how to lick it." " I didn't do it at all." " You're surely as lame as Tenoch." "You licked it like that, like it were an icicle." "It must be done with care." "The clitoris must be a great friend of yours." "It's a problem to find a great friend." "Search and you shall find." "There's no greater pleasure than giving it." " An applause for the clitoris!" " Yes!" " Up the clitoris." " Up the clitoris." "Listen, seriously..." "Truth, I want the truth:" "Ceci sucked you off." "The truth?" " She nibbled it a bit, dude." " Shit, she sucked you off!" " Ana bites, too?" " No, she sucks greatly!" " You said she didn't suck you off." " Only the tip." "She missed the big dish." " Aren't blow jobs great, Chuy?" " Heck, Chuy!" " Up the blow jobs!" " Wait." "Since we're telling the truth:" "I made Ceci many times." "No problem." "I screwed Ana many times, too."

"I was talking with Mabel about staying here some more to see some bays." " I'm hungry, mom." " Well, here you go." "Go, go!" "That day Julio and Tenoch started their trip back home." "It was a silent trip with no events." "Their parents never knew they had gone to the sea with Luisa." "Luisa stayed exploring the bays around." "Parting from Tenoch and Julio, Luisa told them:" ""Life is like the foam of the sea." "You must dive into it"." "On their return, Ana and Cecilia broke up with Tenoch and Julio." "Two months later, Tenoch began going out with a neighbor." "It took 11 months for Julio to go out with a French course mate." "Julio and Tenoch hung together less and less." "The next summer, the PRI lost the elections for the first time in 71 years." "Julio met Tenoch who was going to the dentist." "A coffee was less uncomfortable than the excuses not to do it."
