"SEX WITH LOVE" "Look how beautiful it is." "This is a really fine piece of meat." " Here you go." " Thank you." "You're welcome." "Another postcard came from Susan, she sends you tons of love." "I'm nervous." "It's not you who's taking the test." "And if he scores below average and they take away his scholarship?" "We'II put him in a public school and that's it." "No, EmiIio, you can't play around with education." ""What is masturbation?"" "Number 8?" ""flying a kite"." "Hand in your tests, please." "See you tomorrow." "Bye, teacher." "Bye, see you." "Tomas, did your dad get back from his trip yet?" "Yeah, he got back last night." " And is he coming to get you?" " I hope so." "Bye, teacher." "Bye, see you tomorrow." "Come on, share!" "the letter from the biennial arrived" "Great!" "I hope you did better than the others." "Tomas, son, hello." "How did it go?" "Good." "What took you so long?" "No, I got held up." "Wait for me just a minute." "I'II be right back." "I missed you, you jerk." "And here is the announcement of the parent's meeting." "Both parents should come but if your wife can't make it well, that's O.K." "Thanks..." "let's go Tomas." "Good." "Good bye Miss." "Thank you." "Bye... bye, Tomas." "And when are you going?" "No, when are we going?" "They sent me two tickets so you have to come with me." "I'm in a complicated moment at school." "So get someone to replace you." "I'II try." "I'm going to have to start painting like crazy." "Great then!" "Yeah, but still... it bothers me to leave you so alone" "W e aren't going to see for a while." "Don't worry..." "You have your work and I can entertain myself..." "If you said you'd get home early, better that we leave now." "Where to?" "To a place where we can be more comfortable." "To a motel?" "Yeah." "Do you have a better idea?" "If we start going to motels, we'II never stop." "And I don't want to cheat on VaIentin like this." "But it's better to go to a motel than to make love in the car." "Yeah..." "No, this is impossible." "Or we do something or I don't know... but..." "Yeah, this is impossible." "Then that's it?" "You know what I'd Iike?" "To spend a whole night with you." "Good." "We go?" "But I told VaIentin I'd be home early." "Fine!" "Home then!" "Waitress, the bill!" "You're really disgraceful." "You just have me to fool around with you, jerk." "Right, in any case to talk about Quantum physics." "Not quite." "And why not?" "Then tell me something." "Do you find me a bit foolish?" "Luisa..." "You are always looking at me with that face that says:" ""the things this girl says."" "Luisa please, if I find you that you are a woman..." " incredible!" " incredibly foolish!" "But then don't say foolish things." " And you?" " Me what?" "You told me that you were going to be late, so I couldn't go to my dinner." "And now you're complaining that I got home early?" "It's not my fault that you gave GIadys permission... to take off early every other night." "Jorge..." "She also has children and no one to leave them with." "Come on." "She's the maid." "Are you going to stay?" "This is still my house." "Or not?" "It says clearly, that both parents have... to go to the meeting, so you'II just have to close... early and come with me." "But how are they going to have a meeting to talk about those things?" "You have to talk about those things somewhere." "Those things you learn, anywhere least of all at school." "Matias, stop rocking and finish your homework... once and for all, please." "Dad?" "What does "masturdate" mean?" "See!" "You, and shouting on top of it." "Better answer your son." "Look, its very simple, very natural." "What are you doing?" "I'm Iathering up, can't you see?" "Jerk, you've got an erection." "You're masturbating!" "Matias will hear you!" "Matias!" "And it's... when you give yourself pleasure..." "like... sexual." "It's when you grab yourself and here produce pleasure" "Understand?" "Ah!" "Like..." "jerking off!" "That's it... the scientific name for "jerking off"." "I blew it!" "Don't get crazy." "No..." "Yes..." "What are you doing, you jerk?" "slowly, it hurts, you know." "Yeah... yeah..." "just the tip." "carefully, O.K?" "There, oh shit!" "No... you jerk... get out!" "No, I can't." "I'm not even a little wet, you understand?" "The same shit again." "And what do you want from me?" "Women take more time to get aroused." "Everybody knows that." "Fine, but I give you caresses." "I give you little kisses..." "still I don't get anywhere, or no?" "I'd Iike that you were more, I don't know, more delicate, slower... more..." "What it is, is that you don't get aroused with me." "that's what it is!" "Don't be a jerk!" "And what do you want me to think?" "I've been putting on a circus for over a year... to get in." "I give up..." "I'm gonna turn into a professional wanker." "That's it!" "Enough." "No, no, Maca, for goodness sakes." "Don't turn off the TV." "Don't be like that..." "No, no, no..." "tickling, no!" "A little kiss..." "look, who's that there?" "Who is it?" "He's dying of hunger." "O.K give him something to eat, but slowly" "O.K, careful?" "careful EmiIio, that's not slow..." "But no..." "Just the tip..." "Just the tip." "Wait, little by little." "Shit, you jerk..." "you're hurting me!" "So things are still bad." "Monica and I don't even speak." "Better that way." "And... where are you sleeping?" "On a mattress in the studio." "What a drag... but now that VaIentin is going away, we could spend a night together" "We'II see each other a little after the meeting?" "I'II try." "hello, good evening." "Come on in." "It's been a while since we've seen each other." "That's a lie." "I mean all of each other." "Jorge!" "How are you?" "Fine..." "Great!" "That's the new teacher?" "Yeah..." "Luisa." "She's good looking, man." "Groups should be at Ieast of three couples." "I hope we can share the group's thoughts afterwards." "Ah, teacher, come sit with us and... then we can have a full team." "Look, Jorge came alone so... come with us." "Sure, I need to sit somewhere anyway." "You want to know something, teacher?" "You two make a great couple." "You think so?" "Ah, I see that I'm in with a group of troublemakers." "Wait a minute, I was saying like father and daughter." "Good." "With sex they say the more experience you have the better." "well... then you have a chance, champ." "O.K teacher, enough." "O.K, Iet's get serious." "We need to set an example." "Let's see, but wait a minute, if we are going to talk about sex, we can't be too serious." "Sex is a party, a game, it's... but here in this country we are all serious fools." "We don't know how to make love." "Where do you get that idea?" "well, the point is that the school wants to deal with the topic of sex education in conjunction with the parents." "So I need to know if this topic... is of interest to you and why." "Yeah, sure it's important..." "Why?" "well, because how the things are now." "Before everything was slower." "We were more naive." "Imagine I lost my virginity... when I was nineteen." "And you... you think that seems naive?" "You know what happens, nowadays everyone... is having sex at fifteen." "How terrible!" "How terrible?" "For you to have sex is like torture?" "Look, I lost my virginity at fourteen and I think it's great!" "It's pure practice!" "The more you have sex, the better you are at it... so the sooner you start, the better." "Ah huh...so according to you, the first school field trip should be to a massage parlor?" "Let's see, it seems we aren't making much progress here." "I would prefer that those who haven't spoken get a chance." " Me?" " Yes." "What do you think?" "Do you think these meetings are important?" "Yes..." "Yeah, they're important because...?" "If not, how?" "Where are they going to Iearn?" "In the street?" "No." "Sex is pure practice." "You can't learn anything in class." "Sorry, teacher." "Let's hear from the others, please." "Me?" "Yes." "You are supposed to be an authority on the subject." "I Ioved your last book." "Yes?" "You liked it?" "Yes, she died laughing reading it..." "What's it called?" ""virtual sex and real love"" "That's it." "I believe in love..." "I think that sex is an extra, and when I have sex with the person I Iove... it's... it's the greatest... and when both things come together, it's the best." "Excuse me Jorge, but I think it's a cultural problem." "Sex is sex and;" "Iove is love, they can come together or separately." "Which doesn't mean to come together or separately... is better or worse." "You talk like you spend your day on this." "I Iove to have sex as often as possible." "That's true." "It gets annoying..." "But that's very good." "There you see love." "Because when the love is gone from a couple, so is the sex." "No, no, I tell you from." "my own experience... things are really bad with my wife right now... since our problems started, forget it, each to their own sides of the bed." "That's why I say: when there's no more love, there's no more sex." "The truth is that when there's no more love, it's all over." "Yeah..." "What a drag..." "Don't worry." "Because sometimes you go through difficult times, right, but you can move forward." "Right now with EmiIio we are... going through a very delicate situation..." "Yeah?" "Yeah, EmiIio; we are going through a very delicate situation." "How good that I came to this meeting to find out about it." "Don't act like you don't know ." "You know that what's... happening to us isn't normal." "I swear I had no idea." "ShouIdn't you have told me about it first?" "Don't you think?" "So you think we're fine?" "well, you're never really fine." "But for a marriage I think it's acceptable enough." "Do you think it's acceptable enough to have found... my husband masturbating in the shower?" "Maca, you can't talk about these things in public." "What's the problem if we are talking about sex?" "well then tell them that you haven't let me enter you for about a year." "You know perfectly well why." "I have no idea." "O.K?" "Because it hurts." "You don't have even the least bit of gentleness!" "And you have no respect for intimacy!" "Better we... better we begin to answer the questionnaire." "In any case I see that this is a topic that concerns us all..." " Can I help you give them out?" " Good, thanks." "Excuse me." "Father!" "hello." " I came a bit early." " Yes, no problem." "Come on in." "Excuse me, are we going to have a baptism here?" "I'd Iike to introduce Father Mario." "He's the priest who's in charge of the elective course on religion." "I thought it wouId be interesting to hear... the church's vision on this point." "Great..." "hello, good evening." "Good evening." "Excuse me, teacher and excuse me Father, but isn't it true that priests take a vow of chastity." "What I mean is how is someone going to come to talk about something... he doesn't know anything about?" "I insist... in this area practice is fundamental." "AIvaro, please." "With all due respect for the priest." "Excuse me, I don't know what religion you are, but there are some people in this room who would Iike to hear what Father Mario has to say." "Hear what?" "The church's position is totally clear." "Sex is only for reproduction." "Isn't that so, Father?" "When and only when you are married by the church because if not, then forget the whole thing." "Isn't that so?" "Listen, we don't need to get so hotheaded here!" "I don't know what problem you have with the international organization this priest belongs to, but we're all mature adults here, and we're disposed to hear... different visions with respect to an idea." "As Ludovico Croce says," ""Non aviate chiaIdi chi no ha riscoIdi"" "That means, there's nothing worse than a blind person who doesn't want to see." "Fine, if it interests you, fine!" "For me, as ItaIo CaIvino says," ""I'II have a glass of wine."" " AIvaro, where are you going?" " It bores me to hear this priest." "At least you could have agreed before calling me." "Excuse me, well, Iet's take a fifteen minute break... so you can find the bathroom, smoke a cigarette, have a coffee, we'II meet in fifteen minutes, thank you." "EmiIio..." "EmiIio is there a pub or a little bar around here?" "Like for..." "To have a drink." "Yes." "Let's go?" "Those meetings last forever, we'II pick them up afterwards." "Your wife's comment really hurt, huh..." "No... what happened is that I don't remember... what it is to make love." "With your wife." "But then you can get even at your local branch, no?" "What local branch?" "But sure you have a little girlfriend stashed away to unload on." "A little friend?" "A lover!" " Sure..." " No..." "Don't worry." "I'm not a snitch." "No..." "How could I have a lover!" "..." "Even when waitresses serve me in short skirts," "I'm ashamed." "I feel guilty." "Of what?" "guilty of having a dick?" "guilty of being a man?" "guilty of what?" "guilty of cheating on my wife." "But deep down women know." "Do you think your wife doesn't know you've had lovers?" "But I haven't had one, I tell you." "well then your wasting time." "women know that masculine fidelity is impossible." "It's written in our genes and this doesn't mean... that you don't love your wife... but..." "EmiIio look, women ovulate only once a month... but men produce millions of sperm." "millions just fighting to have a shot at it." "Give me another drink!" "I don't know how you stand it!" "Just jerking off..." "Jerking off helps." "but it's different" "Every chick is different." "There are no two cIitorises alike." "Every little pussy is unique." "I always do a mental exercise." "Looking at a woman's hands, I try to imagine what her pussy must be like." "Does it work?" "practically... always." "Her hands?" "The hands..." "delicate hands," "long fingers, weII-kept nails, they're a little clam with a inside like a cone... and with every orgasm, they tighten at the base of the dick..." "like they would strangle it... now, pudgy hands, round fingers... and nails that are bitten, they buIkier, with thick juicy lips" "What's with you?" "pleasure with every chick is different." "That's why I say, practice is fundamental, practice, practice, practice." "Shit!" "This woman..." "Another girlfriend?" "A crazy woman... and this is important, EmiIio." "Never... but never, get involved with a crazy one." "Good, I hope that you come to the second meeting..." "absolutely, and... please excuse our little scene..." " Good night." " Good night." "Good luck." "Oh no." "I felt so bad afterward." "Your gynecologist." "What did he say?" "Nothing, because he went to work in Temuco." "So I don't have one, but I need to find one..." "I have a great one." "I can give you his phone number if you want." "Yeah, thanks, ah..." "Father!" "A word please, excuse me." "I wanted to talk with you...um... my son, Matias, was..." "Oh shit... damn!" "Sorry, sorry!" "No... no, it's fine, my darling..." "it was nothing." " Did I squish your boob?" " Yeah!" "Fuck!" "No, no it's O.K." "Fuck!" "What happened?" "Nothing... this is getting us nowhere... no..." "It can't go on like this." "This mess isn't serious." "I Iove you." "hello, gorgeous." "I don't recommend going to your office." "There's a crazy stewardess making a scene." "I better go with you." "It seems like you're scared." "It's that I don't know you..." "You've been working here like two weeks, no?" "Yeah." "And we still haven't had a drink together." "We could have lunch tomorrow..." "AIvaro!" "At last I found you, darling..." "listen, excuse me but your secretary is a classless bitch." "What do you think you're doing here?" "Honey, you knew I was arriving today." "None of this "honey" business." "You can't just appear at my office." "I know but I had to see you..." "I brought you a gift, look!" "I bring you a present." "Sergio, sir, how are you?" "It's that way..." "Miss, there." "Where?" "At the end, at the end." "Ho... hold my bag..." "Get in there..." "get in!" "No, no..." "angelica look..." "try to understand... what happened, happened." "really, it was great." "We had a good time." "But it's over, you understand?" "It's over and life goes on;" "I am happily married, you have a boyfriend..." "No, no..." "we broke up..." "Ah, well..." "I'm sorry!" "AIvaro, I broke up with him for you!" "I Iove you!" "You say you love me?" "No angelica love is something else." "We were horny." "We got off the plane" ".but from there to love there is an abyss." "Don't be cruel..." "I am capable of doing anything for you!" "I realize that... but understand!" "I have a wife.." "who's pregnant, I have a daughter," " I have obligations..." " You don't love her..." "But of course I Iove her!" "No, you don't." "If you did, you wouldn't have gotten involved with me." "I'd have to be a eunuch not to get involved with you." "I was leaving you at your house and you invited me in..." "What did you want me to do?" "play chess with you?" "No, but don't cry... you are a wonderful woman... really!" "Don't say anymore..." "I get it..." "how embarrassing." "Take this..." "I don't have any use for it." "angelica..." "angelica..." "angelica, I have to get home... don't continue like this... if we go on, we won't be able to stop..." "Ouch!" "..." "You bit me!" "Renata?" "Do you Iike Renata?" "Which Renata?" "silly, if it's a girl." "Ah!" "No, no, it's going to be a boy." "Sometimes the ultrasound is wrong angelica?" "SEXUAL LIFE," ""Masturbation and male sexual pleasure"." "Maca?" "Ah, you're taking a bath." "A friend recommended it." "She told me that if I took a nice hot bath before bed..." "I couId get relaxed, Iet's see if..." "So it's not enough to talk about this at school." "You're talking to your friends about it too..." "Come on, how long are you going to be angry with me?" "I said I was sorry." "Look, I don't want to talk about it." "I was coming to talk about something else." "The bill from the school and the phone bill both arrived between the two it comes to $150,000 pesos." "I don't have the money to pay this bill." "Or we cut the phone or we take Matias out of that school..." "Fine!" "Take him out of school." "Condemn him to work in a butcher shop the rest of his life." "What's so bad about that, huh, working in a butcher shop, huh?" "Come on..." "come over here." "What for?" "It's worth your while..." "Come on over..." "I know why you're mad..." "Is this a joke?" "No." "Don't you Iike it?" "Yeah, yeah, keep going." "Are you still mad?" "Sweetheart, keep going..." "Do you forgive me?" "Yes, honey, wait, wait..." "No, it's fine like this." "What are you doing?" "Wait..." "But EmiIio, calm down, listen... wait, listen... gentle." "slowly... slowly..." "Ay no... you're going crazy." "You jerk; you got in with your shoes on!" "So what." "With your new shoes...!" "You're squishing me..." "get out!" "Shit, you make a fuss about!" "everything for God's sakes" "But how can you get in with your clothes on for goodness sakes!" "Ah, this has gone to hell." "Can't you be gentle for once in your life?" "Take off the wet clothes." "I just waxed the floor!" ""Happy Hour, later"?" ""I can't today." "I'm going out with my wife"." "I wanted to say goodbye..." "Now that I know I'II never have you," "I'd rather leave it like this." "Yes." "Yes I'm fine, better than ever... and even I'm going to take a bath... my last bath..." "Drunk?" "No, no!" "You know I never... mix drink with pills..." "How many?" "Three... no, not three pills..." "three bottles, you jerk..." "If you don't have me in your heart, at Ieast you'II have me in your conscience..." "I Iove you;" "I Iove you so... bastard that I Iove you so much..." "Sorry, but I can't keep talking, my bath is overflowing..." "Angelica?" "Angelica?" "finally." " She's sleeping." " Yes, but it was difficult." "She didn't want me to go." "AIvaro's here?" "He called..." "He called?" "He said to excuse him that." "he was going to arrive late." "That afterwards, he was going to explain." "So I'm going to bed." " Good night" " Bye, Marta." "Go ahead." "It's all right." "The patient is stable." " And doctor, how is she?" " She's O.K." "Never again, God, never again." "Thursday, Friday." "No, your Dad's already outside..." "wait a minute." "O.K, then we're going to be late." "Oh, but look how you have your shirt, son." " Listen, EmiIio!" " What?" " Susan called last night." " So?" "She arrives today at five at the bus station..." " Can you go pick her up?" " Me!" "Yes... today I have my appointment with the gynecologist at that time." "It's to check out the problem!" "Why don't you go get your head checked instead?" "difficult, jerk..." "Wait, wait!" "No, I can't leave the store alone!" "No, come on EmiIio, can you go or not?" "Yes, I'm fine." "But how can you tell me this now?" "But last night I couldn't even talk to you... wait a minute honey..." "bye." "No, she should take the subway and come..." "No EmiIio... when you went to France, they came and picked... you up at the airport." "Don't be so ungrateful." "They treated you Iike a prince!" "Fine..." "I'II go, I'II go..." "Good, bye son, bye honey..." "have a good day." "Concentrate on your test so that you get a good grade." "Don't think about other stuff." "Don't think about TV or the girl next door." "Your smock!" "Come my love, three wishes." "Let's see if Mommy can still blow." "She still blows!" "Bravo!" "beautiful, thank you!" "Come." "Come and I'II give you your gift." "You can keep your comments to yourself." "Don't fight with me." "No really, I don't know how I stand you." "Because you're an angel." "A gift." "You at Ieast found the perfume I asked you for." "Or not?" "I think so." "I'm sure you sent your secretary to buy it." "Yes... but wait a minute." "I have another gift." "flowers." "And this?" "Is it a poem?" "No, it's my new schedule..." "I decided to take prenatal leave." "Let's see." "really?" "What's this that you're going to arrive home early every night?" " AIvaro!" " well, all, all, no," "I still have my free slot just in case." "Today's Man, of all the different forms of love has been trapped between two options" "One, fidelity like an eternal condemnation" "Two, infidelity like a dark and guilty... passageway to our true instincts." "nevertheless, of all the forms of sex, we'd Iike to believe in sex with love, as if it were the point where the body meets the soul." "I can't find the keys, Chamorro!" "But if you opened in the morning..." "Let's see... here they are." "And you aren't coming back?" "No, I'm not." "Listen, I Ieft. everything ready at home" "But remember to go pick up Susie at five." "You know I hate to leave the store alone." "Fine, then I won't go to the gynecologist!" "O.K and we'II just continue with this problem!" "Yeah and you're going to continue bIabbing about it..." "Ooof, it was just like in the movies." "Hurry up, I'm going to catch you... watch out with the hippocampus." " My period is late." " What?" "I said I'm late." "Shit!" "But sometimes it just happens." "And whose would the little tadpole be?" "If there is one, it's yours!" "Shit!" "Are you sure?" "Um... yeah, yeah." "Fuck!" "Can you imagine?" "Fuck... better not to." "You know...." "let's get off this." "Straight home" "Straight home" "Enough...enough" "Paty?" "Paty!" "Patricia." "AIvaro!" "You are so beautiful." "It's love." "still with your boyfriend?" "Yeah and elena?" "The baby must be due any minute." "Yeah, sure... she still has one more month." "tell her that we miss her at the office." "I miss you." "Bye." "Sometimes I wish someone would really go the distance for me..." "And me?" " You have your wife." " You have VaIentin." "But VaIentin is like a little boy." "I Iove him, but he's a child." " I really love you." " But you don't take me seriously." "And what do you want from me?" "We should adopt VaIentin and form a family?" "No... but how long can we go on like this?" "Better not to think about it now." "please, go right, make yourself ahead at home." "Hey, I'm going to pee my pants, can I?" "Don't do it here, Maca just waxed." "Where's the bathroom?" ""Le toilette est a..." Oh, I forget." "It's right there." "uncle?" "When did you come to France?" "For the world Cup, I guess in 98." "Remember you were at my 15th birthday party?" "Of course I do." "Want to know something?" "I was madly in love with you!" "." "You're kidding!" "I had no idea." "I don't believe you." "I think you wanted something to happen." "Where's my aunt?" "She's at the doctor." "Don't worry, it's no big deal." "Come on in, sweet heart, right in here." "Dyspareunia... it's a medical term, don't worry." "How's Luisita?" "tell me..." "Got me." "I don't know her very well." "She's my son's teacher." "I thought you two were friends." "We hardly know each other." "plus, she's new at the school." "I've been Luisa's doctor... since she was 18, imagine." "You know her inside and out." "I get the impression she's good as a teacher, no?" "Yeah, she's great." "Your son must be happy with her." "Does that hurt?" "Good, doesn't hurt a bit, right?" "No." "Good, very good." "normal, cervix is normal, no visible inflammation." "You seem to be tip-top, dear, in excellent shape." "It's incredible when there's only one kid." "I have a friend with just one son, and they've got him, so spoiled that his nickname is the Emperor which tells you pretty much everything." "I'm going to do a transvaginal ultrasound." "Have you had one of those before?" "Yes." "I mean, no." "But it's fine." "It's a simple test to make sure there's nothing wrong, but relax, everything's fine, perfectly normal." "Nice and easy." "Does that hurt?" "Good, very good." "Here you can see on the screen, the uterus, here, it looks just fine, see, it's perfect, normal morphology, normal size." "Let's see here, the Ieft ovary, is always a little bit hidden, see?" "Right there." "Let me see now, here it is, there it's coming into view, see?" "It's very good." "Ay!" "Leave it a bit more!" "You can get dressed now, please." "So... your exam is absolutely normal... and in addition there was no discomfort." "No, on the contrary!" "I'm going to prescribe a lubricant, just in case." "Here's one you can take with you." "So how do I apply it?" "I'II figure it out at home." " It doesn't say anything." " What do you mean it doesn't say anything?" "No, nothing." "I think you should just put a good amount right up in there." "O.K, wait, wait." "Better yet, why don't you put some on your peeter?" "Right." "Wait, the panties." "hold on, for...!" "What's wrong?" "Susan might hear us." " Who cares?" " I do." "O.K." "No, I don't want to, I'm tired..." "I don't want to." "C'mon, over here." "What's going on?" "Sit, sit down here." "I have a surprise for you." "If it's something to eat, I'm not hungry." "No!" "A picture, all this show for a picture, VaIentin, please!" "This isn't just any picture." "Now close your eyes." "No, just let me see it!" "O.K, but just a second, what's the rush?" " close your eyes." " O.K, my eyes are closed." "Hurry up, I'm falling asleep." "O.K, ready." "hold on, hold on..." "Open your eyes." "Do you Iike it?" "What are you up to?" " A mess." " With whom?" "With myself." "will you ever be back?" "I'm here, aren't I?" "You have to pay a Iot of attention in math class, where we're not doing so well..." "Good morning, Jose AIfredo, so..." "O.K, bye." "hello." "hello, gorgeous!" "I want to talk to you a minute." "Are you in a hurry?" "No, I'm going home to sleep a little." "Ah, still tired?" "Yes, and on top of that last night, well, I had a double." "A double?" "Yeah, yeah, Monica starting getting a little friendly, so..." "And how was it?" "Good... well, all in all a bit strange, because, since I've been with you I haven't touched her." "Right, because supposedly nothing was going on there, right?" "Luisa!" "Monica is still my wife." "I had a double myself." "Oh really?" "And how was it?" "excellent!" "So what did you want to tell me?" "Nothing." "You're jealous." "Don't be silly." "I'm not silly!" "Naive, maybe." "Know what?" "I'II call you later." "hello, hello, excuse me... sorry." "EIi!" "hello." "hello." "Here." "For me?" "Sorry it's been opened." "The fact is, it was for my wife, but she didn't like it." "If you don't mind..." "Hey, but do you realize how much this perfume costs!" "." "Thank you, AIvaro, but I can't accept this" "Don't you Iike it?" "No, no, it's not that, I adore it..." "O.K, so it's yours." "Thank you." "Lunch later?" "delicious!" "What did you say it was called?" ""Sake."" "I Iike it because it goes in sort of hot," "like it opens up your throat a little." "I Iike... your hands, that long fingers... the crowning touch." "Ay, EIi, you're driving me crazy." "Let's go have dessert in Vina?" "Waiter!" "The bill, please." "We'II take the car, and in an hour we'II be standing by the sea." "But I have to work now." "And tonight?" "Tonight what?" "Tonight..." "They told me you were fresh, but this is the limit." "What do you mean fresh?" "No, no!" "But they've also told me really nice things about you." "really?" "Like what?" "Seems as though you're an ace in bed." "You have a great reputation." "Look EIi, I don't know about reputations, nor if" "I'm good in the sack, but with you I swear I'II be the best there is!" "Let me have an hour, I need an hour tonight," "let's see each other tonight." "Shit, no, tonight, I can't, but if I put this over here..." "O.K, I'II use the free slot." "So?" ""SEXUAL LIFE" "The pleasure of female Masturbation"" "I can't come to the phone right now, so I have your name and number after the beep." "Thank you." "Luisa, I've been looking for you." "I want to know what's going on." "please call me." "Give me another." "No, I insist that I am a defender of marriage..." ""Every ram with his ewe."" "Thank God I found mine, who's an angel, a real angel" "I swear that if it weren't for her..." "I'd be under a bridge somewhere, a wreck, drinking wine out of a box." "Not to mention kids..." "Do you have kids?" "No." "When you do, you'II see." "Kids need a family... but fidelity is another story, it's strictly cultural." "Think about chicks, poor chicks, man." "In this country two out of every three guys are premature ejaculators!" "Imagine the number of unhappy chicks running around out there!" "Shit, for any guy who can screw more or less decently this country is Paradise!" "I mean, this shit is a public health issue!" "Just because the chick's married and all in love with some guy doesn't mean she has to go all her life without having an orgasm." "hello?" "..." "Of course." "I'm waiting for you." "A long time." "What do you mean you can't?" "Fuck!" "..." "No, but..." "I'II die if you leave me hanging like this... no, it's not just being horny." "I mean, I am horny, but I'm horny for you..." "No, EIi, don't jerk me around..." "you can't do this to me... bye." "O.K..." "O.K..." "yeah, bye." "No I am not angry... really... yeah..." "Oh shit!" " You?" " hello..." "FeIipe, this is AIvaro." "I've told you about him, remember?" "Yeah, sure." "Hi AIvaro," "How's it going?" "How are you?" "Nice to meet you." "hello." "I didn't know I was so famous." "He's my psychoanalyst." " Is he good?" " Good at what?" "O.K, I better be going." "Doctor's visit." "Yeah... but one's enough, isn't it?" "Maybe the three of us..." " No - ...better not." "Come, come!" " Wait... wait..." " Come, come here." "Fuck!" " What's wrong?" " I had some condoms here." "No... forget them." "Without one?" "Yeah, it's nicer." "Anyway, I'm due for my period." "No, what if I get the tricho-tricho, tricho-whatever-it-is..." "Trichomonas." "Hey, I think it's gone." "And what if you get pregnant?" "Here, O.K!" " What happened?" " Nothing." "O.K, I'II take it off." "Now what?" "Why don't you want me to get pregnant?" "Do you want to?" "I don't know... why not?" "well, I don't know, just when everything's going so well... it feels like not the right time." " Is it because of my trip?" " No." "Do you want me not to go?" "No." "It's not that." "You don't want to talk?" "No." "I don't want to." "elena?" "elena?" "Bye, thanks." "I liked the movie." "Right, I'II call you tomorrow." "O.K." "AIvaro!" "Hi." "Ah..." "elena?" "I thought you were coming home late." "Oh, yeah." "Right, actually I thought I would be getting home around now." "Isn't it a little late for a pregnant woman?" " Where were you?" " I went out." "I see." "I went to the movies." "Finished late, eh?" "Afterwards, we went to eat something." "I went with a guy I know." "O.K, you don't have to explain." "I was worried, that's all." "You could have called my cell phone." "I did, but I only got the recording." "You're right, I had it turned off in the cinema, and then on I forgot to turn it back." " Are you mad?" " No." "Come to bed." "Put it right in, no problem." "A little bit more, don't take it out!" "Don't take it out!" "Damn, you moved away, Maca, what's the matter?" "No, it's just that..." "I put too much cream on the papayas, and now I have a stomach ache." "Do you want some herb tea?" "Good idea, please." " Thanks for the invitation." " Sure, whenever you want." " I liked the movie." " really good." " Did you Iike it?" " I Ioved it, but you were even better." "O.K, see you later." "I'II call you tomorrow." "really good, you were much better." "Bye." "Bye... you're so hot." " Bye." " See you." "You're up?" "Why so early?" "I'm in a pinch, gotta finish three pictures before the trip." "What's all this?" "It's for the trichomonas, they're vaginal capsules." "So when are you going to have a healthy pussy?" "Oh, what a crude..." "I'd Iike to see you deal with it!" "And don't say "pussy," it sounds horrible." "So what should I say?" "Vagina?" "I don't know, say "bunny"" "Oh, how sweet, "bunny"." "vulva?" "vulva..." "gross." "Now that sounds awful." "vulva..." "Too much." "Come in." "uncle, can you take me downtown?" "If you hurry, yes, because I'm leaving right now with Matias." "O.K, I'II just take a quick shower, do I have time?" "I guess so." " hello." " hello." "I'm late." "I've been calling you...?" "What's going on?" "Nothing, nothing is going on." "I have to go." "Hey, not the indifferent treatment... please, anything but that." "That's the only thing I ask of you." "I really have to go in now." "We'II talk later." "But when?" "I don't know." "I'II call you." "No, she's not in." "Who's calling?" "Hey, you degenerate fuck." "How're you?" "Yeah, it's me." "Listen, my friend, I need you to do me a big one," "I need the name of one of your subscribers." "Now, according to the number it's one of your cell phones." "I know it's confidential, otherwise I wouldn't have to ask you, buddy, right?" "Write it down." "Bye, bye." "Here it is:" "8-2-7-5-9-8-7..." "Bye." "O.K, man, when you have something, call me." " hello." " hello, sorry." "You want to drive me crazy, right?" "No, no, now I've figured out your tactics." "I swear I wanted to go." "Let's have lunch?" "Ah, right." "Better take advantage of lunch hour." " What if someone comes?" " No, nobody will." "Mr. Degenerate!" "Did you get it?" "What?" "No, I'm playing tennis." "What's his name?" "carlos Rojas." "I owe you one, buddy." "What?" "What game?" "The tennis game, good," "I'm a set ahead." "O.K, Chum, thanks, bye, O.K, right, bye." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just checking something out, that's all." "C'mon, people are coming back from lunch." "What's going on?" "I'm sorry, but my mind is kind of elsewhere." "Let's see... wait, wait... there." "still, it was good, wasn't it?" "Hey, what?" "Shit, this damn book is full of carlos Rojases." " hello." " hello!" "I'm waiting for VaIentin." "He went out." "Yes, but he'II be back." "You're Luisa?" "Yes." "I recognized you from the photo." "Oh!" "Right, and you... excuse me." "hello?" "Yes, speaking." "Yes, they were going to have some tests for me in the morning." "I'm really not interested in what happened at the laboratory..." "Look, all I ask is that you send me the results to the address I Ieft with you, so I don't have to go all the way over there again." "Yes, to the school." "That's right." "Thank you, goodbye" "Nice." "Yes, he's good." "I Iike VaIentin." " As a painter." " I'm sure." "What bad luck." "O.K, Iet's see." "6, wait; 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 central Station." "How much was it?" "5.500." " Charge him more, dear." " What do you mean charge him more?" "He's charging the same as the time before." "If he's usurer." "O.K, here's your money, take it." "O.K, lady, your turn." "Let's see if you can do better." "Do it again, but not so hard this time, don't throw it so hard." "Let's see." "Let's play another game, I already have won." "O.K, throw it again but gently." "no, throw it as hard as you want, I'II stop them here..." "Dad, Iet's play something else," "Once this game is over you're going to bed." " Come to me, baby," " Not yet!" "Piece of shit two-doIIar cocksucking whore, two-bit cunt, stupid bitch, your motherfucking whore grandmother's a whore," "Bad person!" "Bad person!" "Scum-sucking bitch, streetwaIking piece of ass, heartless cunt bitch!" "elena?" "Yes?" "Who is carlos Rojas?" "carlos Rojas?" "An old college friend." "Why?" "Who went to the movies with you the other day?" "Yes..." "How long have you been seeing him?" " How long!" " Don't shout at me." "I'm not shouting." "How long?" "I don't know, what of it?" "We went out a couple of times." "We went to the movies, we had lunch, coffee." "A couple means twice." "Coffee, movies, lunch, that's three." "AIvaro." " How long have you been seeing him?" " Stop it." "Excuse me, but it is exasperating that you are not able to answer such a simple question." "Supposing that there is nothing going on between you two, correct?" "Of course not!" "So then, why don't you answer me?" "I told you!" "We went out a couple of times." "Oh, so we're still on a "couple"of times." "Since we had our back class reunion a while." "In August?" "I think so." " When I was away." " probably." "Dammit, don't be so vague!" "Yes or no, in August, yes or no!" "AIvaro, I'm pregnant." "I know that!" "And according to my calculations, I find that you got pregnant just... around the time I was on a trip." "In August!" "So let's see, what happened after the little class reunion." "of old college friends, huh?" "You had a couple of drinks?" "You recalled a couple of sweet old memories?" "You knocked it off a couple of times?" "But the couple of partiers forgot to take along a couple of condoms." "But Mr. cuckold, AIvaro Frias, will take care of the baby anyway!" "Right?" "C'mon, are you going to take me to mcdonald's?" "What do you want, an "unhappy meal"?" " It's called a "happy meal."" " O.K, O.K..." "Look, my teacher!" "Yeah." "Wait a second, I have to tell her something." "Luisa, Luisa, hi..." "Can I take you?" " No, I'm almost there." " I'II take you anyway." "No." "So?" "Are we finished?" "I don't know." "We love each other, don't we?" "I Iove you, and I will always love you, but..." "I can't continue like this." "Monica and I are separating." "It's not that... it's..." "what we have is nothing." "But let's decide that together..." "let's meet tonight." "No, I can't." "We wanted to break it off lots of times." "Yeah, but now I Iove you, and there's no cure for that." "You're driving me crazy!" "It'II pass." "No, it won't just pass." "Everything stays inside you." " Sooner or later, you forget." " bullshit we do!" "We can't just choose what gets tossed into the wastebasket... and what remains." "You don't understand anything, you little bitch!" " Do you know carlos Rojas?" " What?" "I said, do you know carlos Rojas?" "What's going on?" "He's also an architect, just like you." "You know him or not?" "Lay off, what's wrong with you?" "You're nuts!" "Stop!" "Leave me alone!" "Yes, I've seen him a couple of times in the office... why do I have to answer your fucking questions?" "elena is two-timing me with that cocksucker." "What are you talking about?" "CarIitos is gay." "He's gay?" "As far as I know, he's not interested in women at all." "Too bad, too, because he's quite a hunk..." "Right, those types are the worst... because they get, you women to let down your guard... and then they come, along with their foot-Iong peckers they have a couple of whiskeys and they turn bisexual," "This mother fucker is dicking EIena." "Stop talking horseshit, you are out of your mind!" "Shit, sorry..." "I didn't mean it." "You've been playing around from the first month you were married." " You deserve it!" " No." "No, because I Iove her..." "You're a piece of shit!" " Oh, for christsakes, Patty..." " This was the Iast time, too bad it was also the worst." "But it was the Iast." "hello..." "Fucking bum, nothing better to do?" "Sure you don't want to come along?" "No, aunt, I'm sure." "There's stuff for adults too." "No, I have to wash clothes." "Bye." "help her." "Bye, have fun, take care!" "I hope they're dry for tomorrow." "Sure, they'II dry today, easily." "So, my dear, have you decided where you're going to go?" "Yes, to the Torres del Paine." "You don't slow down, do you?" "You gotta do it all, uncle, you only live once." "uncle!" "Can you give me a hand?" "Yeah, sure." "Let's see..." "Here, here... this is it." "Sometimes when there's too many clothes in it, it won't run... if you take a little out..." "I..." "Monica..." "I thought you were asleep." "I was going to leave you a note." "You don't have to pick up Tomas" "Why?" "I hired a regular bus for him." "I want you to leave!" "Monica, I was thinking that..." "I really want you to go." "please just leave." "Thanks." "Fucking faggot..." "It can't be him." "Why does everything get lost in this house?" "Did you look in the first-aid kit?" "I told you I did already." "What's wrong?" "Susan must have taken it by mistake!" "How embarrassing, EmiIio!" "Oh, don't be a goose, we'II find something better." "What?" "Is that it?" "I don't know, Iet's see..." "balls!" "My socks, my yellow socks." "There they are!" "You are invited to my birthday." "No, no Maca, Maquita no." "No honey, it doesn't matter, no." "Don't cry over it." "Tomorrow I'II go to the pharmacy and buy you a ton... of that stuff, O.K?" "O.K baby?" "Don't cry about it, O.K?" "I Iove you, Maquita!" "I'm coming!" "I'm coming!" "What's this fag doing in my house!" "Take it easy, bud, you're going to wake everyone up." "Get out, motherfucker!" "Motherfucker!" "What's going on here?" "My God!" "Nothing, ma'am, go back to bed." "AIvaro!" "What is this queer doing in my house!" "Go to bed, elena, I'II talk to him." "I'II talk to him, I'II talk to him..." "I'm going to fucking kill you!" "Go back to bed, ma'am, go to bed!" "You told her, right?" "You told her, you fag." "I didn't tell her anything, asshole." "really?" "So what are you doing sleeping..." "in the living room of my house?" "Your wife is about to give birth." "Maybe you wouldn't come tonight." "Someone had to stay with her, right?" "Shit, when I saw you two there, I couldn't fucking believe it, man." "carlos Rojas?" "You're the only guy I ever fucked, and I didn't even know your name." "So now you see what an ingrate you are, right?" "Anyway, I put it right up you, fucking faggot." "I didn't feel a thing." "Oh yeah?" "So why did you shout like a stuck pig?" "Maybe it was the way you kissed me on the back." "Shit was I drunk." "Are you such a little man that you have... to hide behind a bottle?" " What am I going to do?" " Go to bed, I'd say." "Sure, so in the morning we'II have breakfast like a happy little family." "No!" "I'm not leaving, man." "So, I believe that these meetings have been quite beneficial and..." "I want to let you know that I'm going to miss a few days because I'm going to Sao paulo." "So that's why I wanted to squeeze in this meeting... so that we can come to some conclusions." "Anyone want to start?" "Miss, do you believe that you can teach how to love?" "I don't." "In any case, whoever tried should know how to love." "Don't you think so?" "well, the fact is I would Iike to say something..." "It's been a little weird for me..." "these meetings, because when I was a little kid, I never talked about this stuff with anybody." "I would hear people say things about it," "like for example, "children come from love."" "I didn't understand much then..." "I mean, from love or underneath a cabbage?" "But I realized that the most important thing in life... is to Iearn to love..." "Because life is like a big centrifuge which grabs you and makes you spin around..." "Don't get stuck on it." "UnseIfish advice from an ex lover?" "From a friend." "Or do we have unfinished business?" "It was a dream, a fantasy." "It wasn't going to work." ""I am a rebel, and a world without fantasies is of no interest to me."" "Right, another phony quote." "No, that's from Adriano celentano." "There's Luisa." "Luisa!" "What luck that you're here." "What's happening?" "She didn't want you to know, but..." "No matter what," " you are the husband..." " Spit it out, don't scare me!" "Your wife went to the clinic, alone!" "I don't know what to do, Mr. AIvaro," "I don't know what to do..." "She didn't want me to tell you, the missus..." "O.K EIena, breathe deeply... don't push yet." "Hey, the doctor said you were about to deliver a volkswagen." "Looks like he wants to come out, now that daddy's here." "nicolas sit down." ""children come from love"." ""Positive for pregnancy"" "Miss?" "What does "children come from love" mean?" "Take out your notebooks for a dictation." " hello." " How is it?" "Oh, how cute..." "spectacular!" "hello!" "hello!" "What a darling!" "AIvarito is his name..." "Say hi to the miss." "Don't run in the hallway." "We're going to have cake."
