"NOCTURNAL ROUNDS" " What's up, dude?" " How's it going?" " Long time no see." " Everything cool?" "Haven't seen you in ages." "Look, he's playing dumb, not answering me." "Still playing dumb?" " Nah." "What's up?" " You disappeared." " Nah... just working." " You dating?" "Did you get married?" "No." "I'm working hard." "I'm not dating." "Nothing much." "It's all cool." "Money, work." "Nights in Buenos Aires are sweet." " Everything's cool." " Is the nightlife fun?" "Oh yeah." "Lots of fun." "That's what I thought." "Hey." "Give me your glasses before you go." "Excuse me..." "We are... casting for a movie." "Come on, dude. I've been in Buenos Aires for 3 years." "I won't fall for the movie bit." "At sunset." "When she leaves, at sunset." "At sunset." "He goes to work, at sunset." "He goes to the station and takes the train," "They whistle from a van, they look from the platform, at sunset." "Streets of the moon, without love or fortune," "Lights and hookers, cheap contact for some booze." "At sunset, he crosses the city, at sunset." "Dirty streets are left behind at sunset," "I wonder how it's gonna be today." "How much I'll make..." "Dirty police inspector, don't even want to see you, at sunset." "Where were you last Tuesday?" "I passed by three times," "At 8 o'clock, at 10... and after midnight." "Last Tuesday?" "I don't know, can't remember." "I thought you were hiding out and I'd never see you again." "And business... how's it going?" "The streets are empty." "Fewer and fewer people." "The streets, the streets... always the streets." "You are handsome, well mannered." "And very presentable." "You could..." "I don't know, work at a bar or something." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah." "When I ask about your business... it's because I care about you." "Don't be so suspicious," "Who am I... a tax inspector?" "I don't ask for a report." "I don't ask for interest, percentages," "Nothing like that..." "Please." "I know, daddy." "Come on, c'mon." "Come." "Cumming!" "You have protection, right?" "I mean... condoms." "I care for you." "Right here." "What color do you like?" "Be careful, you hear?" "Any day now, they might transfer me and you'll have no protection." "Can I get out?" "Get out!" "Get out." "Who's stopping you?" "Who's stopping you?" "That wasn't part of the deal." "Are you hungry or what?" "And you?" "Again?" "Yeah, but I got rid of him." "He cums too fast." "Why don't you take my advice and change neighborhoods?" "For a while, at least." "Sooner or later he'll get transferred," "Until then, you can try out someplace else." "Really?" "Where?" "In Constitución?" "Fuck off!" "I won't trade Santa Fe and Pueyrredón for anything." "Plus, there are people here who know me." "Rich guys that know me..." "know where to find me." "Among them, an old fart who fucks you twice a week, free of charge." "That's called "protection."" "I'd rather have that than... two cops trying to lock me up... because they want a bribe." "The inspector is a serious man, dude." "I mean it." "Really." "Besides, he knows that what I make, I make selling joints, not my body," "He is not stupid." "Nor is he broke." "He doesn't threaten me." "'kay?" "He even gave me his cell number." "So I can call him if I need anything." "My protection." "Got it?" "Constitución..." "sure." "Why not an even shittier neighborhood?" "You know what I think?" "That the old fart is in love with you." "How long has he been after you?" "Six months?" "Anybody else would've let go." "But this one comes back." "Always." "Twice a week." "Haven't you ever thought of asking him for more than protection?" " Salut!" " Salut." "Ow!" "You moron!" "Oh?" "You're gonna rub me down?" "No." "You're tense." "Your back's full of knots." "Don't you feel them?" "You are stressed out!" "How do you feel?" "Yeah." "It hurts a bit." "Well... ." "No, no." "How do you feel?" "As you..." "Victor..." "How do you feel?" "How?" "Yeah." "Sometimes my shoulders ache." " Is that what you mean?" " Not really..." "More like, how do you feel in the world?" "by yourself, with guys, with clients?" "Your life?" "Man, sometimes you're such an asshole..." "I mean it!" "You never think about that?" "Why don't you take up Papu?" "It's the ideal thing to show you what I'm talking about," "You may find it's just what you need." "I've never heard of it in my fucking life!" "In your life?" "It's great because it's not that it gives you answers." "You work stuff out with your own body, with exercise, with movement." "I'll teach you an exercise." "Get into position." "We'll take the form..." "Get rid of that shit!" "...the form of the shadow." "It'll help you get rid of that." "It's perfect." " Getting it?" " Yeah." "Look straight ahead." "Okay." "Inhale." "Exhale." " Yeah" " Don't you feel it flowing?" "I know a lot more exercises but you should come to a class with me." "Seriously." "When did you start doing this?" "2 years ago, when I quit smoking." "I feel much better about myself, with my friends, my family, my clients." "Seriously." "Good for you." "New Spartacus" "Where have you brought me, Carlito?" "I brought a friend," "I'll be back with towels." "Victor." "Don't forget." "This place is high rent." "Don't take less than one hundred, ok?" "And if they want kink?" "Extra!" "That's so cool." "Very cool!" " Nice, huh?" " Yeah..." "Show off as much as you want." "You'll never make a living at it." "Come on." "No, but when I flash it at the truckers..." "I'm happy with this one." "Watch out, it bites!" "Looks like The Joker." "What would you like?" "Coca Cola..., light." "Tango Complex" "Are you sure the Ambassador expects you?" "Yes." "We have a date." "And who is calling?" "Victor Pueyrredón y Charcas." "Tell me," "Is it true they offered you the Embassy in Berne?" "I cannot even think of accepting it unless I have... enough money to live like a king," "I totally agree with the budget cuts, but... they'd better start with the Congress." "Wouldn't want the country to appear as a beggar before the Swiss." "Who cares about those bastards from the IMF," "But the Europeans?" "Forget it!" "I heard a story about one of our ambassadors in Vienna... who had to use his driver as an interpreter." "Unheard of!" "No one is asking our delegation in Kazakhstan... to be able to speak Kazakh, but how is it possible... that we have political representatives... who don't speak French, English, or German?" "Just because you can say "obrigado" with a Carioca accent picked up in Rio de Janeiro at Carnival, you think you know Portuguese?" "Please." "I'm sure you've seen this when you were in Bon." "It gets even more complicated when you can't entertain the..." "If you don't mind, Ambassador..." "It seems to me that you worry too much." "A little relaxation would do you good." "I'm an expert in Thai massage," "My Oriental teachers say I'm their best stud" "Please!" "Can't we set some limits on who we entertain?" "Okay." "Bye." "You've had enough for today." "I was only trying to..." "You're worn out and need some sleep." "...help the Ambassador." "No, you're not helping him." "Here." " Enough for a cab." "This way." " Show him out." "It's only logical, of course, with some good champagne..." "In the bottom drawer." "Between the socks." "Shall we share?" "And I don't mean the money." "Victor." "Hey, what's up Victor?" "Don't recognize me?" "I'm the best!" "Your best client!" "Come on!" "Looking so handsome, you must have money?" "Nice new clothes and the haircut?" "Very modern cut." "Come on." "Nothing for me?" "Don't look at me like that." "Give it up!" "It's always me, in due time and proper form, eh?" "Fresh." "Here you go." "No there it went." "Look alive!" "Well... there you go." "You're a little slow." "Hey, what's up?" "Come on!" "Gimme that!" "Good, good!" "Callao and Corrientes." "There you go, eh?" "Come on!" "Gimme that!" "Eh?" "What are you waiting for?" "Come on... ." "Mario?" "Mario, my friend" "It's been a long time since I've been around." "I mean, I've been other places..." " Yet here I am." " Are you?" "What's this thing you have hanging here?" "Nothing." "A good luck charm." "I heard there's a dude that's in love with you in the Red Light District." "Who?" "Ah." "There's the goddess." "It's the queen." " Hey mama!" " Hey baby." " Oh ho." " How is it going?" " Fine, and you?" " Fine." "What are you looking for?" "To play a little, baby." " What?" " To play!" " Come a little closer?" " Sure." "Like this?" "Hey sexy mama." " Ay, you're sweet!" " Really?" " You're looking good." " Am I?" " What's your name?" " Lorenna." "Yours?" " Victor." " Victor?" "Yeah." "And how much do you charge, mama?" " For both of you?" " Yeah." "Well, you're hot boys." "There's a special discount for hot boys." "What are we talking?" "Nothing?" " Maybe..." " Wanna go for a ride?" "Why not?" "Where?" " Surprised, huh?" " You surprise me." " Okay." " Good" "We'll be back." "Okay." "I'll be waiting." "Can you stick out your tongue?" "Behave yourself." "And your friend, too." " Bye." " Bye, baby." "Woah." "Here we go." " Want a date, honey?" " Hey, beauty." " Want a date?" " Eh?" " Want a date?" " I'd love one." " It's 50, hotel included." " Really?" " I'd charge you 80." " What do you mean?" "And you owe me 30." "I'll charge you 100 and you'll owe me." " So pretty!" " Bye." " I like how she negotiates!" " Yeah." "Look at those two." "Hey there!" "Let's see." " Hot mama." " Let's see." "Like what you see?" " Show it off for me." " Oh, sexy manma." "Nice." " Let's see." " Twenty for head." " Eh?" " Twenty for a BJ." "Twenty for head?" "I love BJs." "Blowjobs?" "Do you dig BJs?" "Yeah." "With that mouth." " Really?" " Sure." "Tastey." " That's good." " Let's go." " Bye, mama." " Bye." " Look at this one." " I like her." "Yeah." "I love her." "Are you coming, baby?" "Okay." "Good." "Bye." "Bye." "The blonde one." "The blonde." "The blonde?" "Loved the blonde." "The first and the third." "Looks like my mom." "Good evening." "What's your look all about, mama?" "For 30 dollars you can fuck Thatcher, you little shit." "Woah." "Bye." "Margarita!" "No fucking way!" "Beauty." "Some morons will never get over the Falkland Islands." "Thatcher..." "Margaret Thatcher!" "Please." " Are they pulling my leg?" " Yeah." "And they got it." "Here." "Watch." "Very good." "I'll stick with this." "Cheers." "Cheers." "To chopsticks." "Guess who I was thinking about?" "Remember the Duck?" "The Duck!" "Know anything about him?" "Sure." "He's... a bouncer at a gay club." "Good for him!" "It's an upscale club." "20 bucks a drink." "The Duck..." "And the other one?" "What was his name?" "Who?" "The red haired one who wore the Miami t-shirts." "What a fool, please!" "Lolo." "Lolo, Lolo." "Yeah." "He disappeared." "He told everybody that a guy, an American, I think..." "a businessman, set him up in Miami." "Miami." "But others say he's dead." "Dead?" "Yes" "They say he died from it." "And that he made up that story about the American and got admitted to the hospital." " What an asshole!" " Don't be so nasty." "Nobody's safe." " He's an asshole." " No, he's not." " I bet he let them." " What do you know?" " No." "I know." " Shut up." "Bet they offered him double." "And he got fucked." "He got fucked without a rubber." "Don't you realize it's just like him, moron?" "His whole thing about the American and the shitty t-shirts he used to wear that said Miami?" "I bet he ended up in the AIDS ward." "In the contagious wing." "What a fuckhole." "Thanks." " So, what are you?" " Right now, a wild boar." "How come a wild boar "now"?" " I'm a snake." "Let's go!" " Yeah." " Should I buy it?" " No." " It's bullshit." " Yeah." "Do you feel like... going at it together?" "Some place quiet." "Going out?" "You're asking me out?" "Going at it." "No." "I got it." "I know what you meant." "Come on. do you want to?" "Don't play stupid." " We're both machos, right?" " Yeah." "Well...." "So?" "Well, I'm not so sure..." "The Swan reopened." "Remember The Swan?" " The Swan?" " On Congreso Street." " With the sign by the entrance?" " Yeah, neon." "Yes or no...?" "Well, I was planning on working one more hour." ""planning on working..."" "We've never lied to each other, have we?" " Really want me to answer that?" " No." " Hello, guys." " Good evening." " How's it hanging?" " Swell." "How's it hanging?" "18, 25 or 35?" "Does the one for 35 have a Jacuzzi?" " Yes." " Okay." "Give me the one for 35." "Thanks." " In the back." "On the right" " Okay." "Thanks." "You knew Fatty..." "In fact, I think you were with him a few times last summer." " Really?" " Yeah." "Don't you remember?" "I don't know who you're talking about." "I got off the streets thanks to him." "At the beginning he'd come looking for me once or twice a week." "One day he said to me, "Here you go." "The cab's yours."" "He still owned it." "I was just the driver." "So I didn't have to pay for anything." "Fatty would even fill it up." " Everything." " Everything." "One day... ...about... three months ago, he went to see the doctor and found out he had cancer." " Cancer?" " Cancer, yes." "He came back and told me, "put on a tie," ""we'll go see a notary."" "He put me in his will for a condo and the cab." "For you?" "And the rest?" "He left the rest to his wife and sons." "Fatty." "Then he died." "Only at the cemetery did I meet his sons." "Two guys older than me..." " You didn't know them?" " No." "They were so uncomfortable." "They kept looking at their watches." "I wouldn't be surprised if they were... afraid of being late to watch 'Big Brother."" "Fatty." "You must have known him." "What a guy." "A good guy." "Bored?" "No, I'm listening." "You moron." "I'm listening." " You look tired..." " Fuck you!" " You're falling asleep..." " Fuck you!" "Son of a bitch!" "Stop it!" " Hey." "Good evening." " Hey." "How's it going?" "Hang on a second." " Thanks." " Sure." "See you tomorrow." "Paola." "Let's go." "It's getting late." "FOR SALE" " Hi, Álvaro." " Hi." "Are you cold?" "Hi, chief." "I'm cold." "Hello." "How are you doing?" " Thank you very much." " That's rich, huh?" "Why not?" "Our herbs are no good." "Yeah." "It's gone, all the sticks are on top, right?" "There you go, my friends." " Is it bitter?" " Yeah." "I bet you, if that one orders anything... he won't be able to afford it." "Tuesday." "November 2nd." "Cecilia" "So you do remember." "It's not a dream." "It's me." "I'm here." "And you?" "Have you ever gone back?" "No." "Never again." "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" "You didn't used to ask so many questions." "I used to be an asshole." "No, not at all." "You used to be a very bright boy, too cute to stay in town." "What do you know about my life?" "What would you say if I told you somebody just tried to kill me?" "Would you believe me?" "And before that I almost got run over by a car?" "Through the whole night, I've felt I was being... spied on... followed... as if I was in danger." "You know?" "The night is almost over." "When the sun comes out all the fears are gone." "All of them." "Believe me." "I know." "The sun comes up at ten to six." "I read it in yesterday's forecast." "Then you must know what day it is." "Yes..." "November 2nd." "Why?" "Where were you born?" "What does that have to do with anything?" " In González Catán." " So?" "That's the outskirts of Buenos Aires." "In Buenos Aires, people don't know anything about what matters in life." "But I was born in the North." "In Chaco." "Up there, people know things that city people seem to forget." "I don't know." "Maybe they're afraid to think about these things... and they choose to live this way." "For example, we know there's a day that starts at midnight, before sunrise... in which the dead who really want to can come back to this world." "To look for their loved ones." "And take them back to the other side." "Forever." "You see?" "Now I've spoken." "Now you know." "Stay with me..." "Until sunrise." "You never wanted to understand other people." "You never got us." "But if you ask me to..." "I'll stay with you." "Liar." " Liar." " What?" "You think that I don't know that you forgot me." "What?" "You think I don't realize that I never even existed for you?" "The only thing you ever gave me was 15 minutes... in the back seat of a car." "What are you saying?" "And I had to get rid of the scum you left inside me all by myself." "What do you mean?" " What?" " You fake." " You fake." " What are you saying?" "We never slept together." "You want me to think you only sleep with men." "But I know the truth." "I know you do it for the money." "Me, on the other hand, you left me with a child inside." "It's true." "I had to get it out of me using this rod." "I took it out from inside and I lost all my blood." "All of it." "It's true." "I never stopped thinking about you." "FOR RENT" "Listen, young man..." "Excuse me..." "Do you know if bus 47 still goes to the cemetery?" "Yes, the cemetery is the end of the line, ma'am." "What a funny thing to say!" "Of course the cemetery is the end of the line." "As if we didn't know that!" "We go every year about this time." "So we are quite accustomed to it." "Don't you go?" "No." "Of course not." "At his age, he hasn't lost any loved ones, yet." "Here it comes!" "Watch." "Get the ball from him, Mati!" "Get it!" "Ole!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Should we go throw your rotten shoe onto the tracks?" "Hey." "I've got to go." "Here you go." "Bye." "subtitles: depositio"
