"Wait a second." "C'mon." " Wait a second." " C'mon babe." "I can't." " Wait that I'm almost there." " Come." "Yes, yes." " Wait, wait." " C'mon." "No, wait." "Yes." "No." "I'm Lydia Beatriz Ciri, daughter of Carmen Rosato de Ciri." "...that is my loving mother." "...that is my loving mother." "My dad's name is Julio..." "My dad's name is Julio." "He's very good and I love him very much." "Mom is also good and I love her very much." "Mom is also good and I love her very, very much." "She sacrifices herself for me." "She sacrifices herself for me." "She stopped doing things she liked." "She stopped doing things she liked." " To take care of me..." " To take care of me..." "Feed me..." "Feed me... and take me to school." "Dad also sacrifices himself." "Dad also sacrifices himself and works a whole lot." " So I can have all I need." " So I can have all I need." "There is no other mom or dad like mine." "There is no other mom or dad like mine." "They're the best..." "My parents are the best..." "in the world." "And I swear I'll always be a good daughter... obedient and that studies." "I'll behave and do all my mom and dad ask of me." "And I'll never lie to them." "And I'll never lie to them." "Never." "This looks beautiful." "Beautiful." "There's nothing left to do to it." "When I get inspired it's really something." "Maybe I should... that may be the missing detail." "Come here, listen to this." "Listen." "It's my pleasure singing for all of you the song..." ""A woman"." "A woman... must be... a dreamer... pretty... and hot." "She must love with passión... to be a woman." "The woman that doesn't love... doesn't deserve to be called a woman." "Like a flower that doesn't share it's aroma... like a log that doesn't give off heat." "My darling." "To think you didn't want to have her." "What?" "I didn't want to have her?" "Yes, you don't remember?" "You wanted me to get an..." "What are you saying?" "Where did you get that from?" "From real life." "Poor thing, if it wasn't for me." " They wanted to kill her." " Me?" "Stop talking silly." "Murderer." "Yeah, you keep talking." "Oh, look, the first enema." "Are you crazy?" "That's the second one." "I already put the first one." "There it is." "Are you sure it's the first?" "This goes here, next to the first panties." "Look, the first black socks." "It was here." "No, not there, it looks as if we were grieving." "This has to go here next to the diploma." "What has a diploma have to do with socks?" " It's more symbolic." " Mother and teacher." "Have you seen an envelope around here?" "She's looking for an envelope, the little thing." "Didn't you see it?" " What envelope?" " An envelope." "A white one, this big." " I didn't see it." " Me neither." "Oh, look darling." "Look, your first black sock." "What does the envelope have?" " Nothing mom." " A letter?" "An envelope is an envelope." "What, an empty envelope?" "What does it matter." "Was it a letter from your boyfriend?" "How is it going to be from George?" "It's Saturday, he'll come... to eat in a while, why would he write?" "Oh, she's looking inside the oven..." "What was that envelope?" "Elvira went to the supermarket?" "If she had found something she would have told me." " Did a friend write?" " No, dad, no." "What is that envelope sweetie?" "It's just en envelope mom, it doesn't matter." "If it doesn't matter then why are you looking for it?" "Did it have something inside?" " A paper." " Written?" " Yes, mom, written." " It was a letter." "Sort of." " Sort of, from who." " Nobody's." "Aha, a letter from nobody." "Look missy, you know I'm a modern mom." "You have a freedom I didn't have at your age." "I too am a modern father." "And what is that liberty due to?" "What is it due to?" "We trust you." " Who's is that letter from?" " Did a man write it?" " What?" " A man wrote it?" "Mom, dad, how can you ask me that?" "Do you really think I could..." "and my boyfriend?" "I wouldn't be capable of..." "I would never do something like that to him." "Him or you." "Lets suppose... that in my life somebody came up... you would be the first..." "I would never... ever..." "I know..." "If daddy doesn't know." "And what was that envelope?" "The results from the tests." "Dummies." "What tests?" "Where are you girl?" " In the bathroom." " What tests are you talking about?" "To go to college." "You did tests?" "But don't you have to go first?" "Now it's the tests first." "So you're going to college?" "At least I did the tests." "My treasure is going to college." "Have you heard daddy?" "She's going to college!" "She's going to grow up." "She's going to do everything... her mother couldn't do." "We'll see." "She's going to please her mom." "Yes!" "That's why I wasn't telling you what was in the envelope!" "I wanted to surprise you!" "The other day I saw the story of a lawyer on TV." "Such a fascinating woman." "She had a house, clothes, jewelry, a husband, lovers..." " College is for boys and girls." " Again with that?" "You know very well that it's a bad environment." "There's a lot of bums, communists..." "Don't be an animal we're almost in the year 2000." "But morals are the same in the year 2000 or the year 5000." "My girl will do what she wants like always." " You put too many limits." " Who puts too many limits?" "Honey..." " Your daddy puts too many limits?" " Hey, stop, don't fight." "Come dad, sit down." "The only thing I did are the tests." "I didn't start college yet." "I also have to think it over really well." "What do you mean you have to think it over?" "Of course, mom!" "I would love going to college, studying is good." "You learn, you graduate and get a diploma." "But I have to think it over because it's a big step." "Of course, I put too many limits..." "I don't want to be like those girls that start and never finish." "Or that go from college to college." "Let's hope not." "I want to be really sure so I don't regret it later, understand mom?" "In my age it's really difficult to decide... there are so many nice things to do, like music... literature, filmmaking, theater, marriage... sports, dancing, weed." "What?" "Weeds from the yard, dummies." "The best thing is not to hurry." "Go step by step." "Slowly." " Girl." " What daddy?" "Go up the stairs like daddy likes." "What a woman, damn." "What a woman." "Almost 20 years raising her, but what pride." "I didn't go to the US, because of her." "What can I say, I look at her and I don't regret it." "You know the laundry I would have in the US?" "A laundromat, not the dirty thing I have here." "And I don't regret it." "Of course, if she fails, I'll kill her." "What may she be doing?" "Sowing, reading, I don't know." " Honey..." " What daddy?" "Go over your English homework." "I can't dad, I lent my book to a girl." "Want me to help you practice, darling?" "Oh no, mother, thank you." "What did she say?" "No, mother, thank you." "Ask her to play the piano." "My dear baby, why don't you play the piano?" "Okay, mother." "What did you tell her?" "My dear baby, why don't you play the piano?" " And what did she answer?" " Okay, mother." "My sweet, sweet daughter, you make me so happy." " What did you say?" " Nothing." "What do you mean nothing?" "You talked like half an hour." "But it was something private, for women." "Only for a woman." "You know I hate it when you speak English." "What did you say?" "You should have gone with her to her lessons." "In this house the only one that studied English is the girl, OK?" "And while I'm alive I don't want to even hear you say, "Yes"." "What are you doing?" "I should have been a dancer." "A great dancer." "A wonderful dancer." "I have nice hands, right Julio?" "Before I had them whiter, softer, longer." "They're getting smaller." "This George is a nice boy." "You can tell he's a normal boy." "He wants to get married, right?" "There's a lot to go for that." "Let them have fun." "Yes, have fun, but moderately." "One thing is liberty and something totally different is libertinism." "Thirty years ago my dad said the same thing." "Yes, that's why Lydia is well taught, like you." "Because she knows what's wrong and what's right." "She knows her limits." "There are clean things and dirty things." "Tell me something... did she tell you anything about this boy, if he fingers her..." "I don't talk about those things with my daughter." "Who do you think we are?" "Your daughter is a little missy, and she perfectly knows... everything she has to know." "When she grew up I explained everything." "And... what did you tell her about virginity?" "And what should have I told her about virginity?" "Zureda Laboratories." "Zureda Laboratories." " No!" " Hey, what happened?" " You don't need to read it." " Is that the envelope?" " Ah, the tests." " Yes." " It's a test." "No, yes." " Can you show me?" " I'm fine, I don't have anything." "This looks so good." " What kind of tests were they?" " Blood tests." "Give it to me, we'll put it here." "Oh, no, dad, you're crazy." "Why?" "It's something that belongs to you, right?" "Well, you know, it's not a blood test, it's an urine test." "The little girls pee-pee..." "No dad, I don't like that!" " She's ashamed." " The pee-pee!" "No, no, I don't want!" "She's going to give it to her dad." "No, no, no, I'm ashamed." "But mommy's not ashamed." "No, I don't want to." "The pee-pee." "Give me the paper." "No, no." " Ortotest." " What?" "Ortotest." "Ortotest." "Positive." "What does this mean?" " She's pregnant." " What?" "Who's pregnant?" "Pregnant?" "My daughter, pregnant?" "I didn't do it on purpose, daddy." "My only daughter." "The only one I have and they got her pregnant." "What are you doing?" "This is also the girl's." "The girl!" "The girl is a whore!" "My daughter is a whore!" "I have a whore daughter!" "Her belly!" "My daughter." "They got her pregnant!" "They filled her kitchen with smoke!" "They..." "They filled her balloon!" "Wonderful day!" "Did you have a good time?" "Did you like it?" "Answer me!" "Did you enjoy it?" "Did you have a good time?" "Leave her alone, will you?" "Leave her alone?" "Me, working like... an animal and she doing the dirty thing!" "Do you know what you are?" "Yes?" "What are you?" " Awhore?" " Yes, a whore!" "The worst of them all, the biggest whore!" "If I had gone to the US I would have a laundry now." "Why does this have to happen to me, why?" "I do wrong to nobody." "I buy dollars like everybody else, when there is no way out..." "I pay my taxes, I believe in God." "Why?" "With so many daughters around I have to get this one?" "Come here, missy." "You don't think about your parents?" "You don't remember we exist?" "Yes, I do, but I guess in that moment I didn't." "Better if you shut up." "And you, you don't say anything?" "The cat got your tongue?" "Look at what your little daughter brought us." "Why don't you congratulate her?" "Aren't you proud?" "Why don't you kiss her?" "Do something!" "What do you want me to do, scream like an animal, like you do?" "Yes!" "I scream!" "I scream because I'm an outraged father... because I'm decent and have morals!" "Because dirty things disgust me." "I scream because my conscience is clean... because I can walk in the street with my head up." "But this won't end here." "I'm gonna kill that George... with my own hands." "No, don't kill him." "Where is he?" "Where is he, where is that rat?" " Where is he?" "I'll kill him." " There he is!" "I'm not responsible for my actions." " Georgie boy!" " How are you ma'am?" "How are you Mr. Julio?" " I'm fine, you?" "Very well Mr. Julio, thank you." "George!" "Look at this, isn't it touching?" "There's nothing more touching than human nature!" "I don't know if it's because I'm a mother or soon to be grandmother... but every time I see a pregnant woman I cry." "Me too." " Sit down Georgie boy." " Thank you, ma'am." "Won't you sit, daddy?" "Yes!" "Why not, there's plenty of space to sit down in this house." "The girl will come down in any moment... she's getting pretty for you." "Even more?" " A cup of coffee?" " No, ma'am, thank you." " It's no bother." " No, thank you ma'am." "How much do you earn, Georgie boy?" "Excuse me ma'am?" "What do they pay you?" "In dollars." "It would be $45." "That's little, isn't it?" "But at the end of the year I get promoted." "To what?" "First accounting assistant." "How interesting." "And in money how much would it be?" "In dollars." "Fourteen dollars." "But it's a very big step for me." "It's a position of greater responsibility." "You're planning to marry Lydia, right?" "Julio, please!" "You compromise the boy." " He's like an old fashioned father." " Isn't he the boyfriend?" "But he has to talk that with the girl." "But I don't mind ma'am, on the contrary." "I really care for Lydia, and my intentions are good." "I think some day..." "Some day!" "Well, if it was for me... but I don't know if Lydia will want to." "She will, don't worry, she will." "Don't mind him, Georgie boy." "Would you drink a cup of coffee now?" " A glass of water, please." " Of course, I'll go fetch it." "That tree your wife was building with Lydia's things?" "I threw it the hell out." "Oh." "What are you doing here today?" "You're crazy." "What do you mean crazy?" "Paco, please." "Your Romeo climbing up your balcony to see your beautiful face... and touch your beautiful face, what do you mean I'm crazy?" "Paco, my parents are waiting for me downstairs." "Let everyone know about our love." "Stop, man, today is not my day." "Are you baptized?" "Yes, yes." "And I took the first communion also." "I go to church every now and then, but I'm a believer." "For me religion is very important." " Too bad it doesn't pay much." " Miserable." " And do you like kids?" " Yes, I love them." "But if I got married I wouldn't like to have one very soon." "Excuse me?" "I think it would be better to establish financial security." "Are you crazy, kid?" "He's a smart kid, Julio." " But he doesn't want to have him." " But he's right." "But if you want I'll have him now, whenever you want." "Sure?" "I swear, Mr. Julio." "What's bothering you, princess?" "The princess is pregnant." "This really sucks." "You know, Georgie boy, we would love to have a grandson." "I swear you'll have one." "Georgie boy." "You look so beautiful." "Lets go around the block." "While we get lunch ready." "You talk about your things." "About 20 minutes." "No!" "Take all the time you want, talk all you have to." "Georgie, I have something to tell you." "What?" "Well, these last few days I've been thinking a lot and well..." "What?" "I want to get married." "My love, you scared me." "Dummy, I need you more than ever." "My darling." " We'll get married." " Of course." "When?" " Well..." " Next week?" "You mean it?" "Aren't I telling you I want to get married?" " Me too." " Then, when?" "But it's impossible doing it so soon." "Why?" "Because there are a lot of things to do." "I don't want a party, church, honeymoon, or clothes." "We go to the registry, get our papers, and that's it." "But why the hurry?" "Why the hurry?" "Because I love you." "I really love you." "And I adore you." "So, when?" "But we can't do it from one day to the next." "And there's always the money." "Lydi." "Lydi." "Lydi." "Lydi!" "Lydi." "Oh, Lydi!" "Now do you understand why I'm so hurried?" "When, Georgie, when?" "Two rooms, no phone, $25 a month..." "Two months deposit... $100." "I don't like loans, so the fridge and the furniture... and all that are $400." "A small party for our close friends, $200, at least." "Two tickets to Mar del Plata, two way, plus the hotel... at least $300." "That's $1000." " A camera with two rolls..." " When, Georgie, when?" "I have $114, at the end of the year I get my bonus..." "Saving $25 a month..." "Two years." "Maybe less." "So you would wait two years?" "If you want I'll take out the camera." "Tell me, what do you have in your veins?" "What?" "You can't control yourself, and you want to wait two years?" "Don't say that." "Why do you control yourself?" "It's bad for you!" "Lydi, I love you." "Or you don't have much confidence in yourself." "You can't do it!" " How can you say that?" " You can't do it, you can't." "Tell me, how do you manage?" "With who?" "Paying, or do you help yourself?" " Lydi..." " Lydi nothing." "And?" "Nothing, he left." " Without saying goodbye." " Did you set the date?" "No." " What do you mean?" " Why not?" "I don't want to get married with George." "What did she say?" "What did you say darling?" "That I don't want to get married." "I don't want to." "What do you mean?" "I don't love George." "And what does that matter?" "Look how easy she puts it." "She wants to choose." "She does the dirty thing and now she wants to choose." "Who do you think you are, you brat?" "Who do you think you are?" "I had you in here... for nine months so now you can say this." "If I hadn't fed you you would have starved." "Ungrateful brat!" "I took care of her like a princess." "And me?" "I wasted the best years of my life to take care of you." "I lost my youth." "I didn't go to the US because of you." "I don't play the piano." "I didn't go to the US." " I don't dance." " Working day and night." "All things I missed!" "And me?" "With how many women could have I forgotten about everything?" " All because of this..." " piece of trash." "I didn't sleep with George." "I never did." "Heard that?" "Our girl didn't sleep with George." "She's pregnant with somebody else's kid." "She just dropped a bucket of shit over my head." "You can't do everything you feel like doing, darling." "We have evolved, we're not animals." "Some things are bad." "Some things shouldn't be done." "You have to control yourself, even if it's difficult... because in life not everything is looking for pleasure and enjoying." "There are other more important things in life." "There are more important things." "You know what, mom?" "I never loved George." "At first I liked him." "Nice, sweet." "I cared for him." "Later I saw him as a dumbass." "Didn't you see how he dresses?" "He doesn't know any nightclubs." "His hands sweat." "He thinks the world is OK how it is." "Please, I'm sorry, excuse me, I couldn't stand him." "Yes, now I see." "George bored you, so you did it with a cooler guy." "You did it with a cool guy, it's natural." "You did well, darling." "But tell me missy, did you think you lived alone in this world." "Did you forget people love to talk about these things?" "Did you forget we have relatives, friends, neighbors?" "Guards." "The police is watching you." "And we're going to be responsible, we'll be to blame?" "To blame?" "It'll bear my last name!" "Everyone knows goddamit!" "What do I do now?" "How do I walk in the street?" "What do I answer when they ask how my girl is doing?" ""Fine, fine, a little pregnant."" "No, no, you won't play liberal with my last name... because my daughter is decent, a normal girl, not like you... and I won't let you do that with my daughter!" "Me neither!" "You're right." "It's a shame." "We have to end this now." "And I'll take care of it myself." "Tomorrow morning, without anyone knowing I'll get a doctor... and get an abortion." "My daughter doesn't get an abortion, how do you dare?" "Whores get abortions, married women get abortions, not my girl!" "If my daughter is pregnant, she'll be a perfect mother... not like those dirty tramps." "My daughter will have a home, a husband, a family." "Oh, really?" "Ok, get me a husband then." "Don't play smart because you could regret it, understand?" " Who's the guy?" " I don't know." " What do you mean?" " I don't really know who it was." "Doll, please, is he an engineer?" "Lawyer?" "He's a boy." " What's his name?" " Paco." " Paco what?" " Paco Zigale." " Jew." " I didn't ask him." " Where does he live?" " Very close." "You have to bring him here honey." "There's no need." "It's him." "So, Paco Zigale." "Zigale, Zigale, that's an Israeli last name?" "That's what they say ma'am." "Well, we're not prejudiced, we have a lot of friends... from Israel, right Julio?" "One, he's a Jew but he's a good person." "Tell me Paco, what do you do for a living?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "I don't like working." "I draw, play the guitar..." "I'm with my friends, drink beer." "Oh, he's an intellectual, an artist." " How do you manage?" " I manage." "It's a little dirty, but I have house, food..." "I don't care about clothes." "That can be seen." "I'm something else, ma'am." "When I need some money..." "I help this guy that has a stand in Plaza Francia." "And I have a fagget friend that does ads for TV, and once in a while... he calls me for work." "In advertising?" "No, but for sure, for sure, I have nothing." "You know what, I don't remember you from TV." "I do small things, in group." "Choco, choco, chocolate." "Choco, choco, chocolate." "Listen up, chocolate, what are you going to do with the girl?" "Nothing." " What do you mean?" " We're OK how we are." " Right princess?" " Right!" "What's important is that they love each other." "What do you mean love?" "What is that?" "We just get it on, have nice times, and that's it." "Right." "You get it on, have a good time, and in some months I'll be grandpa." "Paco, you know what?" "They want us to get married." "You and I?" "I swear to be with her till death do us apart... even if I don't love her anymore, even if she breaks my balls... even if I wanted to sleep with all the tramps in the universe." "I swear to be with him till death do us apart... even if he cheats on me, even if I liked the guys in TV... even if I don't like him as a man, even if I'm unhappy..." "I'll carry out my duty as a woman and loving wife." "I swear." "You know, I like this wedding thing." " Is that for real?" " No, I'm kidding." "But there are very nice couples." "Right, love?" "My honey bunny." "Look at us." "Married for 20 years, right honey?" "Yes, twenty." "And we don't regret it at all, right muffin?" "I wouldn't change her for the world." "The truth is, it's like the first day." "Wait a second." "They don't fool me." "Hey, she's pregnant." " But I'm not getting married." " Me neither." "But you'll start liking her." "With time you get used to it." "We don't love each other." "Listen to me, I'm against the family thing, get it?" "I hate it, I want to destroy it." "I want all this to fall... for this hypocrite world to end." "I'm psycho-anarchist." "Is that left-wing or right-wing?" "Listen, I got a business." "Nothing fancy, but we can both manage it." "I'd rather kill, steal, kidnap." "No, this is calmer, kid." "I'll sell my body." "But you get more money here!" "My mom didn't get me in the factory, this guy's... not going to get me in there." "But listen kid, the factory is something else... there you have to work, here you do nothing all day long." "The only thing you have to do is take payments." "C'mon Paco, she's worth gold." "C'mon kid." "No, I won't be a part of the system." "No!" "No!" "C'mon..." "Look at this kid, look at this!" "There's nobody here now because it's early, but you have to see it." "This in a while is New York." "Let me ask you something, how do you know it was me?" "Say that again..." "Yes, why are you so sure?" "How do you know it was me?" "I'm disgusted by people that can't appreciate an elderly woman like you." "He's right, dad." "I'm right?" "We're both free, right?" "Yes." "You see?" "Trying to keep this..." "Carmen, Carmen, that's the lady from next door!" "Lady, lady!" "She's very deaf." "Now it looks like the father may not be him." "I won't get my picture taken with the girl dressed in white." "When you find the real daddy, dress him up and take his picture." "A quick wedding, a simple wedding for the most intimate." "And you get married." "Paco, you're mad." "You're jealous, you're jealous." "You could sleep with a whole army and I wouldn't care." "Wait, so you don't care if what I have here is yours?" "No, and don't dramatize, that's not for me." "Paco, don't go!" "Why, are you scared your parents will punish you... why don't you leave, if you're so scared?" " With you!" " You lost with me, princess!" "Damn brat." "Not for my daughter." "And the other idiot, a damn employee." "Not enough for my daughter." "If she has to get married... let it be with someone at her level." "Someone powerful, important, or not get married at all." "But do you know what you're saying?" "Very well, she'll be happy." "She wont have anything to regret." "But have you forgotten her belly is getting bigger?" "We don't need those two." "Have you seen our girl?" "This little thing is a treasure for any man." "Tell me girl, do you love that guy?" "How is she going to love that smelly bum?" "Tell me, it's his kid, right?" "His alone?" "I'll get him for you." "That damn communist." "I'll set him straight." "Oh, the junkie, how?" "I'll talk to the police." "I don't want to go daddy." "Let's be reasonable, they're going to laugh in our faces." " I don't want to go." " You're going." "For God's sake!" "Wait, honey." "Julio!" "Julio!" "I'm going to get asthma." "Too much for one day." "I'm not going, Julio." "You're coming, you're the victim's mother." "Agent, I want to file a report, for rape and pregnancy." "There she is." "No, Julio, I don't want to!" "I don't want to!" "You're going in, you'll go in or I'll kill you!" "Because it's your fault!" "Stop!" "Even if I'm the mother of the perpetrator, I'm not going." "What?" "I need protection for me and my daughter!" "What did you say?" "That my girl got raped and is pregnant." "Both at the same time?" "No, she got raped first, and now she's pregnant." "In that order." "Officer, how can she be pregnant before getting raped." "And I know the rapist very well." "He acted against your daughter's will." "Of course." "She was tricked and seduced." "Then she wasn't forced." "My daughter is a girl." " Age?" " Eighteen." "Hey mom... if I get that now, next year I could go to college." "She's lying to you." "Which one would you go to?" "Law, like you like." "Don't you like Medicine?" "Dr. Ciri, Dr. Lydia Beatriz Ciri." "Specialist in abortions." "Today we have the privilege of having with us... the daughter of Carmen Rosato de Ciri..." "Dr. Lydia Beatriz Ciri." "Who has recently aborted." "And why does it have to be one thing or the other?" "Can't she get married and study?" "Mother and doctor." "No, no mom." "They're two big things, it's one or the other." "But I can help you while you study." "I can take care of your husband and child." "But she would get married first, right?" "Yes, but with who." "If you get an abortion, you don't have to get married." "Today a woman doesn't have to get married to be successful." "You see it on TV all the time." "I want her to be a decent woman, not successful one." "What do you want mom, for me to be decent or to be successful?" "I don't want you to get married with that bum." "That bum, as you call him, is the father of your grandchild." "Carmen, you're a mother, you know what it means to be pregnant." "It's your little thing, it looks like you." "It moves it hands, laughs, says "Mommy." He recognizes you." "He plays, touches you, kisses you." "You would have to be a murderer..." "Stop dad." "I feel empty, like if I didn't have anything." "Besides, I don't know if it's his." "What did you say?" "That I don't know if it's Paco's." "There's another one?" "Yes." "Miyan." "Miyan." "The guy around the block." "The one with the Mercedes Benz." "My girl, he's going to understand, don't worry." "It will pass." "Miyan!" "I don't believe my ears." "Tell mommy, girl, tell me everything." "Your mom is your friend..." "Do you realize my love that you can trust mommy and tell her everything?" "When I walk in the street and they yell at me I get nervous." "This is the only man I had in my life." "The only one!" "I don't know if you realize, mom has never been with another man." "She never knew how they were." "Don't leave, I want you to tell me something." " Please!" " Listen to me." "Listen to me!" "I'm a woman." "I paint myself, I use high heels... skirt, I had a daughter." "But I don't know pleasure is." "I don't, I don't know how it is." "How is it being with another man?" "How do you feel?" "I don't know mom, I don't know." "Tell me, do they take you to hotels, those hotels with... red lights and mirrors?" "Those with the vibrating beds, and with the bathtubs?" "Tell me, are those hotels nice?" "No mom, I don't remember." "I'm sure they pick you up in a car." "Do you look for dark places where nobody can see you?" "Both of you alone in the car?" "Stop mom, please!" "You don't want to tell me anything!" "Everything is for you!" "Men, youth, life, everything!" "Of course, I'm not a girl anymore, right?" "You think your dad and I belong in the trash, right?" "How far will she go?" "What does she want from us?" "To destroy our lives?" "What are you looking for?" "What do you want?" "To play!" "I want to play!" "And sex is like playing..." "I have fun, I don't think about anything." "What do I know what's right or wrong..." "I don't know or remember, it's hard." "Studying is boring, so is getting married, and politics." "Men aren't." "Men are all different, and I feel secure..." "I know what I have to do and say!" "I talk without thinking and everything comes out perfect." "I feel confident of my body." "Yes!" "My hands, my hair, my breasts, my legs." "I show them some legs and I drive them crazy." "In that moment I'm powerful, unique." "There's nothing more important than me." "And I touch them and kiss them, and they moan." "And they talk dirty, like animals!" "Everything for me!" "Stop talking, shut up!" "Even better if it's in my house, in my room, without you knowing!" "Stop!" "I like being pregnant and not knowing whose it is!" "I'm not a friend of violence." "But when there's no other way..." "Hello." "Oh, mother, how are you?" "Fine, fine." "No, I'm alright." "That I'm alright mother." "What, don't you want me to be alright?" "OK, the girl's pregnant." "No, not in love, pregnant." "Pregnant?" "What do you mean?" "When did she get married?" "You don't tell me anything!" "I'm not worth anything to you!" "What do you mean she isn't married?" "What are you saying?" "It's no joke!" "You're not funny, you know?" "What do you mean it isn't a joke?" "You'll kill me?" "No, it must be the age." "It's a bad age for women." "You'll get through it!" "Don't say those things about my granddaughter!" "She's a lot better than you!" "A lot better!" "A little treasure!" "I don't know who steps she followed!" "With that crappy education... she got from you and that idiot!" "That liberal, modern education!" "Mom, fuck off!" "You too!" " What did she say?" " You too!" " OK, that's it, let's calm down." " What do we do now?" "What?" "The ideal husband." "Miyan, but he's older than me." "But he's more interesting, more refined, richer." "You can't compare!" "He's married." "He'll get divorced." "But he's a guy with a lot of contacts and power." "Even better!" "No, we shouldn't get involved with those kinds of people." "He's powerful." "Yes, that's what I want for my daughter." "And how do we?" "We want to get her married, right?" "My girl, you're really lucky." "You're going to get married... with a wonderful man, Mr. Miyan." "He's already married." "He'll get divorced." "We'll find him with you in bed." "You'll be very happy." "But we've been together only a few times." "With one it's more than enough." "Were you ever with him in your room?" "Once." "Even better, so he'll trust us." "Call him." "Tell him to come right away." "Tell him mom and dad left and will be back very late." "Get fixed and get pretty." "I'm so nervous!" "Carlos?" "Who are you?" "What are you doing here with my daughter?" "How do you dare, sir." "Gentleman, this is disrespectful." "No, not either." "Who are you?" "Who is that man?" "You're all alone, right?" "Only mom and dad, no one else." "This was a great idea, coming to your house." "You're going to show me your dolls?" "They're coming up." "Not yet." "No, wait a second I'm telling you." "No, we have to give them time!" " Wait a little!" " What may be they doing?" "What were you saying?" "Wait, I didn't hear you." "We're going to be late." "Wait, wait..." "Go to hell..." "This is not nice, not nice at all." "Who are you, what are you doing here with my daughter." "Ma'am, please." "You find a man in your daughter's room and you say nothing." "This is wrong, sir." "This is really not nice." "Taking advantage of a creature." "Please, we're adults." "I know who you, are, you live next door." "Your name is Miyan." "This doesn't end here, Mr. Miyan." "He's a married man, Julio, he has kids our girls age." "What are we going to do?" "That's it, that's enough." "It's true, I came to sleep... with the little girl." "And?" "And do you think that's fine sir?" "This is a home!" "I like the girl, the girl likes me, we wanted to do it, and..." "I didn't want to, they made me do it, I already told you." "Well, that doesn't matter now." "All this is absurd." "I've dated Lydia just a few times." "My daughter is nobody's entertainment... even if you are rich, sir." "That's her issue, don't you think, sir?" "And call me Carlos." "Carlos... a man like you talking this way... the girl is decent, you trick her and..." " Miss..." " Carmen." "You perfectly know that today nobody tricks anybody." " Well, you seduce her." " Not either." "You must have done something." "Miss Carmen, please, let's not dramatize." "In every woman's life there's always a first time, and you know that." "The girl has no experience, it's true..." "I didn't use protection." "This is bad for everyone... but it's how it is, and we must accept it." "We all must find a reasonable solution." "Right now, I'll take care of the situation." "You're going to be the father." "I meant the abortion." " But that's a crime." " Don't be silly, please!" "I'll talk to the police, as my name is Julio, I'll talk to the police." "Look, Mr. Julio, let me give you some advice." "Don't do those kinds of things because you can have a bad time." "I have a lot of friends." "I told you." "Carlos did sixth grade with General Bermudez." "Do you see?" "They're close friends and he's cousin of Senator Arrogaray." "Oh, really?" "Tell him who you have lunch with every week." " That doesn't matter, treasure." " What do you mean?" "He has lunch every week with Mr. DeMarco." "What acquaintances!" "You are two ants, he moves a finger and crushes you." "Girl, calm down." "Besides, it won't be necessary." "Don't mess with him, it won't be good for you." "I told your mother, but..." "The girl exaggerates, I have nothing against you." "I know, Carlos." "You can spot people like us a mile away." "I understand you know..." "You know something Carlos?" "I want the best for my little Lydia." "You move a finger and crush us, that's why I want you for my girl." "I totally understand you, Carmen, but unfortunately, I'm married." "Get a divorce." "I have children." "You'll see them on the weekends." "I have a responsibility." "I have a wife, house, seven children... two dogs a fireplace, garage, three cars, a workwoman." "Like a hotel." "It would be terrible if they found out about this." "Excuse me Senator, it's not like I want to mess with... your personal things but you don't find a girl like this every day." "Totally true." "Hey Carlos, why don't you move a finger?" "I won't let you say that, they're your parents." "I'm a parent and I understand them." "They deserve my respect." "They hit me, just a while ago." "You must have done something." "And since this is about family..." "I don't look bad upon punishment." "Listen Mr. Miyan, I like you a lot." "Me too." "Didn't I tell you he was the perfect man for the girl?" "Whoever marries this girl gets a prize." "This girl is good, sweet, pretty." "She's a teacher and plays the piano." "Not because she's my daughter, but she's a special girl." "She speaks english." "Won't speak some English for Carlos?" "By the way Charlie, do you speak English?" " Yes I do." " Fantastic." "Charlie would be delighted if you spoke English." "Please do it." "My name is Lydia." "Go on." "Charlie wants more." "I am a good pupil." "You see?" "Good, good." "Doesn't she seem an American girl?" "She does, she does." "What time is it, mother?" "Five o'clock." " My god!" " What happened?" "It's tea-time." "Tea-time!" "You know what I mean." "Oh God!" "I forgot it!" "I forgot it!" "I'm so ashamed!" "Why?" "Because I know our maiden Elvira forgot it too as usual." "Please, don't worry." "Maybe next time." "But I think you are wrong, Carmen." "I'm wrong." "Why?" "Because the tea is coming." " Where from?" " From the kitchen." "Elvira..." "A girl like Elvira is always in the right place at the right time." "With the right tea!" "Thank you Elvira." "Dear!" "Would you like some tea?" "Yes, please." "What about you, darling." "Answer me in English." "Don't break balls, mommy." "Sweetie." "You, yes." "Isn't it a lovely evening." "Lovely evening, oh yeah." "You're a lucky man, Mr. Julio." "I'm sure you're very proud... of your beautiful young daughter and your charming wife, aren't you?" "Please stop, dammit!" "I hate English." "I don't know why." "Excuse me." "It's that it reminds me of the US." "I should have gone there and started a laundry." "Now I don't have my laundry." "A laundry in the US, sir, do you get me?" "Want me to tell you something?" "I think that us men will understand each other." "How long have you been married?" "Twenty-three years." "Take the chance man, you can do it, go ahead." "Get rid of your wife." "You can't compare this cutie with..." "You're going to tell me?" "It's a beautiful woman." "A fresh piece of meat, firm." "So what are you waiting for?" "You tried her, you know." "You're a modern guy." "You don't get scared... with the idea that maybe I want to have some fun." "Me?" "Please." "I wanted to tell you that I also have my things." "Well yes, that's normal." "I have this 20-year old." "We could, some day, have a little party." "Of course, but I imagine you don't any help from me." " New things are nice." " Why is that?" "I told you that we guys could get somewhere." "That's true." "Back to the matter of the party." "If we did go ahead with it, total discretion." "Yes, absolutely." "When?" "The party." "You put the date." "They're about to set the date." "You're getting married, my girl!" "I'm very happy, I'll put the champagne in the freezer." "To tell you truth, your girl drives me crazy, but getting married..." "Hey, but the girl is pregnant." "That can be fixed, Mr. Julio." "Yeah but..." "You said you have a laundry, right?" "A small laundry." "And is it working?" "Well, you know how things are." "But, I can't complain." "I'm working pretty well, you know..." "And it can be seen, Mr. Julio." "Now tell me this, well, I want to tell you something... but I wouldn't want to offend you..." "Go ahead..." "I have very important contacts." "Banks, ministries..." "and I was thinking... maybe Julio would like a loan to buy new machines... or replace the ones he has already." "That can be very convenient." "Well, I could get you very long term loans with very low interest rates." "I don't know if I'm being clear, Mr. Julio." "Yes, because I could buy another store." "Get bigger machines." "And of course, I could work double than what I work now." "Not one more word." "I'll take care of it tomorrow." "The problem are the guarantors." "Mr. Julio, that's what I'm here for." "How much do you want?" "Ten thousand dollars." "That's it?" "Fifteen." "Don't be scared." "Twenty-five?" "Accepted." "Fifty." "Thank you." "Thank you a lot." "Now a toast!" " I'll get the champagne." " Go fetch it." "And how do we fix the..." "Lydia?" "Yeah, right, the girl..." "I'm interested in the girl only as a lover." "Marriage is not a possibility." "You don't want her as a wife?" "Lover." "Only lover." "I'll take care of the abortion, and nothing happened here." " And now, a toast." " What to?" "For love, and happiness." "Are you happy, darling?" "And a toast for youth also." "Youth?" "Yes, their happiness is also ours." "Our happiness?" "Yours and mine." "I mean everyone's happiness." "I too want to have a toast." "To George and Paco." " Girl..." " To whom?" " George is my little boyfriend." " But they don't do it." "And Paco is my physical boyfriend." "To them." "She's playing." "You're playing." "No, I'm not." "I'm not playing, mom." "And you, cheap seducer." "Piece of shit." "Damn old man." "Get the hell out of here, or I'll break this bottle on your head." "Get the hell out of here, son of a bitch." "You wanted to trick me." "Why don't you see... what you've done with your daughter?" "How is this country going to get better with this kind of youth?" "For that you need principles, ethic, morals, discipline." "Things you all don't have." "My friends would be very happy to know that... there are people like you, bad for this country." "Bad for this country, sir." "But I really would rather forget about this insignificant incident." "You know what really hurts me?" "That you are Argentineans." "Everything you want, but I'm getting my loan one way or another." "Is there another one?" "No mom, there are no more." "Now we have to look forward." "Oh, children, children." "Nowadays getting an abortion is not so bad." "No, really, you don't even feel it." "I told you, darling." "Yes, mom." "You know that you don't feel anything at all, right?" "I know dad." "What's wrong with her, daddy?" "Open your legs..." "Push, push..." "C'mon." "Hurry up." "Push." "Give me your hand." "Push harder." "He's coming." "His shoulders." "He's coming." "He's coming." "He's coming." "He's coming." "He's coming." "He's coming."
