"Listen, I'm going to explain your situation:" "you owe the bank twelve payments, which added to the interests, fines." "costs and some other issues, we're talking about a $100,000." "I don't understand why I owe this money,what I've already paid is worth more than the farm was originally worth." "Yes, but here's how the system works: at first everything you pay is interests, nothing is paid towards capital." "Well, that's true, nothing has been paid in the capital." "All payments have been made right here in the village, right?" "Can't you loan us more?" "No, sir. "That ship has sailed"" "because for the bank to loan you more money you need to have something for collateral." "Well but to be honest, you don't have much to back you up." "Oh!" "Holy Mother of God!" "Oh, sorry." "Hey, did you hurt yourself?" "No, no." "I'm OK, boy." "I'm fine." "Sorry." "Sit down here." "Thank you, yes." "There, that's more comfy." "As I was saying, if you don't provide a good warranty, the bank cannot risk breaking." "Oh!" "Oh, no." "Well but this man is gonna leave us without any furniture... sit here." "No, thank you." "Thank you, boy, it's fine." "And the worst thing of all, the scariest of all, the most terrible thing of all is that there is already a customer interested in buying the property for its lumber." "But, how can you take this farm away from us, this is our livelihood?" "Yes, and how can they they even think of cutting down the poor trees?" "Look, boy:" "Don't you think that if I had a fistful of money, I wouldn't grab it, put it here on the table, and solve the problem?" "But I don't!" "The thing is there's nothing I can do." "Oh, the pain!" "Yes, I know that it's very sad, but well, what can we do?" "No, no." "The pain!" "If that scorpion that just crept up your leg stings you." "Look!" "Holy Mother...!" "Gosh. this man is going to kill himself." "I don't understand that happened to the crops... it's as if the devil poisoned them!"

"The Seine is not a cafe, It is a river..." "Ah!" "The River Seine... that's an important river, huh?" "You know it?" "Uh... no." "I'll take you." "What I like about the Seine is that." "at this time of the day, the light hits the water and generates a precious back light." "You must be very careful with the exposure because it's delicate, but it generates such an interesting contrast." "See?" "Hey, awesome river." "It's beautiful." "Must catch big tilapias here, huh?" "No idea." "So you were telling me you need $100,000 to save the farm?" "One hundred thousand dollars..." "WOW!" "And we only have a week." "That's why I need the job." "Tough." "Bless You!"

"My grandfather told me stories about his brother Antonio," "Who visited America and liked it so much he never came back." "Hey, that was my great grandfather 'Tono'!" "You have the same face as Giordano." "You know I've been told that?" "But I just don't see it... because Giordano was all hairy and had a big nose!" "Hey, awesome house!" "Yes, it's very big, ah?" "It has..." "look!" "This balcony has a view..." "so beautiful!" "DISTANT VOICE." "Michele!" "Vieni qui!" "Si..." "SPEAKING ITALIAN." "I have to go." "The owner is calling me." "What .. the owner of the house?" "But... isn't this your house?" "Bad decisions..." "I had to sell it." "And the gentleman who bought it gave me a job here." "But I thought..." "I have to go!" "Cousin... a pleasure meeting you!" "Likewise." "Ah, cousin!" "Grandma sent you this gift." "If I don't give it to you..." "she'll kill me!" "Ha ha!" "Thank you." "Goodbye." "God bless you!" "Yorge Maikol..." "Yorge Maikol!" "Yes?" "Come on, son, help me out." "What happened?" "Come." "Look: inside the house is that man I told you about." "He wants to take away our house." "So I need you to help me with some tortillas, coffee..." "Excuse me." "Here's some fresh brewed coffee and hand made tortillas, if you'd like to have a nibble." "Delicious I'm sure" "Pack them to go for my dog, please." "We agreed not to mingle, Cordero." "Strike two... you have one left." "Proceed, Mr. attorney." "Good afternoon, gentlemen." "Today at 16:00, within about twenty minutes, expires the deadline set for the toal payment of the $100,000 to the Bank" "In case of not providing the money, Mr. Malavassi would become the next owner." "Do you have the money?" "Well, not everything, no." "But our neighbors and relatives pitched in and we came up with..." "$387." "Do you think you can give us a little more time to get the rest?" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha..." "Forgive me." "forg... ha ha ha ha." "Hey, what do you mean "a little more time to get the rest", huh?" "The deadline is today!" "And neither the Bank nor anyone else has the right to request an extension to get "the rest"." "Ha ha ha ha..." "So now, please, Mr. attorney, let's be more serious and sign... sign!" "Unfortunately Mr. Malavassi is right." "No more time can be granted." "Given the circumstances, it would be best to sign the cession and be done with it." "Down here, please." "Oh come on, come on..." "Here, use this to sign." "That is... if you know how to write." "Ha ha ha ha .. well, common, common." "Ha ha ha..." "Daddy.." "Da" "Not now, Maikol Yacson." "We're having a serious conversation, see?" "But this just came in the mail." "Ah, okay." "Thank you." "Now go play with your brothers, Maikol Yacson." "Okay." "What's that?" "I don't know." "Looks like it comes from Europe." "Let me see." "Hold on." "Just a moment!" "What's going on here?" "Are we going to read the correspondence from all the friends he made in his trip to Europe?" "Let's sign already!" "I'm in a hurry because I have a..." "a... a massage." "Sorry, sir Malavassi." "There are still fifteen minutes left before the deadline." "Go ahead and read your mail." "Thank you." "London..." "Op... era..." "Pro... duc..." "Productions." "Could this be from the man at the London theater?" "Three thousand euros!" "Yes..." "One night we went to the opera, right?" "And I inadvertently ended up on the stage..." "Violetta:" "La vita nel tripudio" "Alfredo:" "Quando nons ami ancora" "Violetta:" "Nol dite a chi l ignora" "Alfredo: il mi.." "At first the people were a bit startled." "But it turned out I knew the opera they were singing because it was the same lullaby grandma always sang to put me to sleep." "E il mio destin cosi Ahhh..." "In questo, in questo paradise Ne scopro il nuovo di..." "Ah...ah..." "Aaahhh" "Cosi" "(Ovation)" "...and the director liked my voice so much he hired me to sing three shows and told me he would send a check..." "I just didn't imagine it would be so much!" "Congratulations!" "Alright, alright." "Oh, what a heartwarming story..." "It almost brought me to tears, look:" "ahh ahhh..." "With this check, you can't even pay for the pen I lent you to sign!" "Enough already, this is too much!" "Enough!" "Have the gentleman sign..." "now!" "Here's another check!" "Now what?" "I don't know... oh, look!" "See, it turns out that one day I was in the kitchen of a restaurant in France and since I was really hungry and no one would take my order," "I decided to make my own meal..." "Maikol Yordan, what a disaster!" "At this very moment the President of France is eating your pig waste your and your scarlet beans." "No, they were red." "New plan, new plan... run!" "...and it seems that the President loved the food, so the Chef said he'd pay me 10,000 euros for the recipe!" "He's a man of his word." "He sent me what he agreed." "Congratulations Maikol Yordan!" "But there is still another envelope..." "Hey?" "Hey?" "Listen, why don't we just... uh... sign and then you'll have all the time in the world to read your letters, right?" "Huh?" "What do you say?" "Still five minutes left." "Look, it's from Michele, my cousin from over there." "Oh!" "The gardener sent him flowers..." "Caro cugino:" "" stato un grande piacere di conoscerti..." "Hey, but I don't understand a thing." "Right!" "My apologies." "Best in Spanish." "First I wanted to say it was a great pleasure to meet you and learn more about my family in America..."" ""After you left." "I opened the gift that your grandmother sent me ." "It was a sketch made by hand in a rather old canvas..."" "Yes, it's true." "Grandpa to brought that canvas from Europe." "I think it was a memento from his grandfather." ""Well let me tell you, cousin," "I took the canvas to a collector and the sketch turned out to be an original painted by Giordano Sotto himself!"" "And who's that?" "Oh, he's my great great grandfather who was a famous painter back in Italy." "Like..." "Jacques Costco, or..." "or Zinedine Sedan!" ""...the collector paid me 68,000 euros!" "Here's a check for that amount ..." "Well!" "Minus 2,500 euros I spent celebrating... "" "hope this will be helpful." "A hug." "Your cousin, Michele"." "65,500 euros!" "Lets see..." "We have..." "SOUND OF CALCULATOR KEYS." "3,000 euros... plus 10,000.." "Plus 65,500." "That gives us a total of 78,500 euros." "And the debt is for $100,000..." "Oh, too bad it has to be paid in dollars, ah... they just sent me euros." "Euros convert into dollars." "Really?" "That's strange. ah!" "I kept a couple here as a souvenir but they haven't converted." "The Bank will exchange them." "Then we have two more euros!" "We have 78,502 euros." "At today's exchange rate that's... (Calculator prints)" "$ 99,512." "How much did you have there in the bag?" "$387." "Plus $387, gives us a total of" "$99,902.." "That's it that's it!" "That means, you're missing $98 and... and twenty seconds!" "Twenty seconds before time runs out!" "So now, let's get this story done with." "Really, Mr. attorney, eh?" "Have them sign the cession, so I can kick everyone clear out on the street away from my property!" "Here's what's missing." "But Cor. ." "Cordero, what are you doing, you idiot?" "Leaving the farm to these people who deserve it more than you." "Strike three...out!" "We're keeping the farm!" "Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "We're keeping the farm!" "Hey, you bunch of spud growers!" "One day I'm going to take this... augh!" "Damn... my shoes are ruined." "You'll pay for this!" "All of you will... ouch!" "Oooouuuch!" "SOUND OF CAR ENGINE" "All set, Maikol?" "We'll take care of your order, Luis." "Well, thank you very much, see you next week." "Hey, we're at your service." "Likewise, thank you." "Take care." "God bless you." "Thank you!" "So?" "How's it going, Beto?" "Well, so,so..." "Look at the kind of workers I am stuck with." "No way!" "I'm actually getting the hang of this." "See?"

"Ah yes, grandma, as I was saying, what happened to me is like the song that they teach you in school, the one that says "I don't envy the joys of Europe and the greatness therein enclosed..."" "(Singing)." ""...my land is a thousand times more beautiful... la, laraia, lalala lala ..."" "What?" "Well, I think I forgot that part." "Ha ha ha ha." "Oh, sonny."
