"I woke up because I knew you were looking at me." "It's 9 o'clock." "What time...?" "What time do you have to go to school?" "Don't you have to...?" "I have an exam at 10." "On what?" "Mathematics." "What, you want me to leave?" "No, no." "You want a lift?" "No, I'm running late." "What time's the meeting?" "Early." "Are you nervous?" "No." "Hey, are you nervous?" "No, Manu." "Okay, okay." "Has the milk gone bad?" "No." "It smells strange." "Ana..." "I think it's right to talk about things that happen." "People usually talk." "What happened between you and me... it would be nice to talk about it." "Because... later on, I'll see you in class and..." "I won't tell anyone." "Weren't you going to say that?" "No." "Well, a little yes, but..." "Thomas, don't worry, it's okay." "I'm very comfortable." "Relax." "You don't regret it, do you?" "No, of course not." "I had never done it before." "You didn't notice, did you?" "So you had never before...?" "You had never had sex?" "No." "Well, you could have told me." "That would have been nice, Ana." "Yeah, well, you know..." "I thought I'd scare you off if I did." "Being a minor..." "Besides, I'm in love with you." "Everyone knows that." "Are you having breakfast like that?" "Where's your family from?" "Gijón." "Have you been there?" "I came to Barcelona to study, and stayed." "You've always lived in Paris?" "Yes." "Well, no." "I live in Milan years ago, but well..." "I like thisjob, you know?" "Get out of Paris, make a change..." "and the sea." "Of course." "Everybody knows Paris but me." "You should go." "You'll love it." "It's a bit expensive, but you must go." "What a shame you have to go, Eric." "For my brother." "Let him marry another day." "It's going to rain." "I told him, but..." "I want to go to the islands before leaving." "Menorca, Ibiza." "Well, maybe when I come back." "Sara." "Sara." "Did you take the papers over?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "They're due in today." "I couldn't..." "Where are they?" "In my bag." "Did you get in late last night?" "I didn't hear you." "See you later, darling." "IN THE CITY" "She's not going back to him for money." "It's also not to be alone." "If she's doesn't want to be alone, she should buy herself a cat." "Gloria's always been in love with him." "It happens." "I'm a little like that." "He's a son of a bitch, Sofia, he's drugged all day." "Sara, not everyone can be with someone like Mario... who's an architect too." "Why do you say that?" "Because it's true." "What's true?" "That Mario's a great guy... and that you two make a good couple." "And we're not all that lucky." "Not to Gloria, nor to me either." "Manu and you also make a good couple." "I'll have a carpaccio." "What about you?" "Me too." "I'll go to the bathroom." "Why?" "To take a piss, Sofia." "You're not mad, are you?" "No." "Yes?" "That was my mother." "How's your sister?" "I haven't seen her in ages." "On a diet?" "Eva, how is she?" "Oh, okay." "She works at the Clinic." "They finally hired her." "She's happy." "How's her boyfriend in Madrid?" "They broke up." "Who?" "Eva, my sister." "It's hard to have a stay with someone who lives... in another country." "I don't know if it's worth it." "What?" "Go out with a foreigner." "With a Frenchman, from Paris, called Eric." "He's an editor and we met last week." "He's opening an office here, and he'll direct it." "A Frenchman from Paris?" "Yes." "Let me explain." "He came to the shop." "He's a friend of my boss." "Every time he came by, we'd look at each other." "Then what, Sofia?" "Then..." "I'm sorry we took so long to get involved." "He's very shy, but we finally went to dinner... we drank a lot and, well, you know." "Just like that." "Now he's going to live here for a while." "He loves it." "He loves the sea and likes to go sailing." "He left this afternoon." "I'm so happy, Sofia." "Who would have guessed?" "Why?" "Last week you were complaining... that you didn't have an affair." "He is coming back, isn't he?" "Yes, in two weeks." "He's looking for an apartment here." "I thought about my place but..." "didn't tell him." "Good." "He's had to go to his brother's wedding." "We wanted to go to the islands." "Menorca or Ibiza." "Something heavy happened between us." "I had never given a guy..." "I never had oral sex the first night we slept together." "No." "What's his name?" "Eric." "What will you have?" "What happened to you?" "I had an accident." "I was in bad shape, but I'm okay now." "You didn't break anything?" "The bike." "You want lemon too?" "Yes." "Before I had my daughter, I rode a bike too, but quit." "What bike?" "AVespa." "Mario has one too, doesn't he?" "But a real motorcycle." "Which one?" "A BMW." "Which BMW?" "A six-fifty." "You'd met, right?" "No." "I've seen you around." "Well, yes, here." "I saw your wife." "She's no longer my wife." "She asked if you were with anyone." "She seemed a bit weird." "Like..." "For a moment she seemed to be moved... and tears came to her eyes." "I played it cool." "She's not so pissed off now." "Now she acts as if nothing had happened." "We're friends now." "She calls..." "What are you going to do?" "What can I do?" "Finish painting my room, of course." "We're having a dinner at the department this week." "You could come and meet Clara." "She's tired of my talking about you." "Then you could meet and go to sleep together." "No, thanks, Manu." "I'm fine right now." "I don't know, maybe... you're depressed and don't know it, Thomas." "My brother says he's very pissed at you... over Ana, her daughter." "Who?" "My niece." "She's in his class." "He bought her a set of drums... and she's playing in a rock band." "Rock?" "She's got a rock band." "She asked me if you could make her change her mind." "She could change over to a violin." "Is she good?" "No, no." "Then flunk her." "Yeah, but I don't like to flunk anyone." "I'll be right there." "See you later." "How's Irene?" "Fine, fine." "Is she feeling better?" "What?" "Sara said she had bad migraine headaches." "Irene?" "Yes." "I don't know." "She didn't tell me." "When?" "She told her the other day, at the cinema." "When was that?" "Tuesday." "Tuesday?" "Yes, Tuesday." "Not Irene." "Not Irene?" "No, she had dinner at my parents' place." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Fine, and you?" "Fine." "See you later." "You have a message in your voice box." "Mario, I've been calling you." "but you don't answer." "At the studio they say you're gone." "I'm at the theatre." "Rehearsal hasn't started yet." "As usual." "I'll see you later." "A kiss then, ciao." "This number is out of..." "Hello." "Hello." "Excuse me." "I need a philosophy book." "Ethics." "It's never here." "If it's not, it hasn't arrived yet." "Nobody buys philosophy books." "Well, you do." "Shall I order it for you?" "Okay." "Let's see..." "You've got a new look, haven't you?" "Yes." "It suits you." "Yeah." "It's a surprise." "Your info the same?" "Yeah, Andrés..." "Okay, fine." "It should be here in 2 weeks." "Pay the cashier for those." "See you." "See you." "Bye." "I'll show you later." "Irene!" "Excuse me." "Sorry." "Hello...!" "Hi, how are you?" "Very well, and you?" "Fine." "You, here?" "We're shooting a report for television." "I should have filmed you coming down the stairs." "Yeah." "It's been a long time." "Thinking it over, at least 4 or 5 years." "I was thinking about you." "Really?" "Maybe that's why we've met today." "Maybe." "Did you set up that photo studio?" "Someone told me..." "Sure, I live there." "How about lunch?" "I can't, I have to be with them." "They're visiting and I can't." "Well, tomorrow." "Okay, tomorrow." "Okay." "See you tomorrow." "You're thinner." "You too." "No, not me, no." "Bye." "Bye." "Not a one." "Hello." "Hello." "You had dinner?" "Yes, just a bite." "I'm exhausted." "Working all day long." "I left you a message." "Did you hear it?" "Yes." "How's your dad?" "Very well." "He goes home tomorrow." "Great." "I called you at the theatre." "You weren't there." "Really?" "They didn't look for me." "It's the same old story." "How nice." "What is it?" "Thomas recorded it." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Fine." "And you?" "Okay, but tired." "Had dinner?" "I was waiting for you." "And Marina?" "Exhausted, sleeping." "I'll shower and we eat, okay?" "Okay." "Hi." "Good morning." "You always have breakfast here?" "Oh!" "Yes..." "And you?" "Well, yes." "I live nearby, and work better here." "What do you do?" "Philosophy teacher." "You asked me the other day." "Don't you remember?" "Yes, that's true." "Look, I've got... a friend who, whenever I want... gets me tickets for the Liceo, the auditorium." "He works at Town Hall." "And I thought, if you like... we could go to a concert." "I know I hardly know you, but..." "I've often thought about asking you." "Anyway..." "When?" "Whenever you want." "There are several." "I don't think I can." "Thanks." "I don't have much time, I'm busy." "How about the cinema?" "No, thanks." "I'm having breakfast and must get back." "You working now?" "This afternoon." "Oh!" "Come by the shop, that book should be in." "Thanks." "And excuse me." "That's okay." "See you." "Bye." "Hello." "How'd you get in?" "They were in the lock." "You, here?" "Skipping classes." "I wanted to see you." "What are you doing?" "These shelves for records and books... and Theo's things will go there." "Then I have to finish painting." "I think of you all day, but in class you ignore me." "I'm embarrassed, Ana." "But you're 40 years old." "No, I'm 36." "I've bought a pizza and brought condoms." "It was a disaster before." "Full of machines." "It was a textile workshop." "I shared it with a photographer." "Then he left and I decided to live here." "I fixed up the back, bought a bathtub." "I like it a lot." "You like it?" "A lot." "I'll rent half to you." "Let's see." "We could have spaghetti." "I have frozen fish." "It sounds bad, but it's good." "A cream of leek I made yesterday." "Whatever is easiest." "What about you?" "Whatever you want." "The fish and the cream." "Do you want a beer?" "I'm sorry." "Glasses over there." "Yes." "Hello, Santi..." "Yes..." "Well..." "What does he do, exactly?" "Manu?" "Air traffic controller at the airport." "He earns a lot and likes it." "How lucky." "He used to pick you up." "Yes, with his Vespa." "How old is Marina?" "Well, she just turned five." "Would you like to be my agent?" "I need contacts." "You'd do a great job." "Really?" "Yeah." "Last night I found a picture... of a Midsummer's Eve party back in the 80's." "You and your German friend were in it." "German?" "Yes, she had a van." "Karen... is Dutch." "What a coincidence." "Well, I was actually looking for it." "I have to go." "You're not shooting today?" "No, tomorrow." "Coffee?" "I'm going to the bathroom." "Here." "Hello." "Sorry, I couldn't get here sooner, Eva." "Don't worry." "Manu?" "Yes, he just got in." "I gave her a massage." "She's asleep." "Staying for dinner?" "No, I can't." "I'm coming, Eva." "For a massage." "I borrowed the car." "Manu called about Christmas vacation." "We must reserve the house in advance." "What shall I tell him?" "I don't ski, but I like the place and... the house is nice, isn't it?" "Must we decide now?" "We'll talk later." "Yes, we should." "Where are you going?" "What?" "Where...?" "To a new restaurant at the Borne." "I don't feel like it, but the whole company is going." "What are you looking for?" "I've lost my watch." "I can't find it." "Mario, I'll find it later." "I'll tidy up." "Don't get upset." "I won't be late." "You look great." "Really?" "I'll take the car." "Hello?" "Hello, Thomas." "Fine." "Now?" "No..." "I'm just a little tired." "Besides, I'm studying now." "I have to take my driver's test next week." "Tomorrow then?" "Yes..." "What?" "Okay, okay." "Yes, okay..." "I hear it's getting cold over there." "Paris is much more to the North." "Yes." "One of these days..." "I'll throw a dinner, or something." "Then we'll talk tomorrow, okay?" "Okay, give Theo a kiss for me." "Bye, Thomas." "Yes or no?" "I don't know, Eva." "Are you sure?" "Now that you have a steady job." "Do you trust her?" "Sure, she is my friend." "If you trust her..." "She'll be your partner." "You must organize the money." "We're well-organized." "Olga acupuncture, and I massages." "We'll get clients from the hospital." "It'll go well, I'm sure." "We just need an apartment and material." "I'm sick of wiping butts." "And I'm sick of my boss." "Do something about it." "Or let others do something." "I'm not like you, Irene." "If it fails, who cares?" "Why should I confide?" "Okay, okay." "Shit, you never change." "Don't get mad." "I'm your big sister." "Let me think it over and talk to Manu." "I already did and he... thinks it's a good idea." "It's not that much money, and I'll pay you back." "Money doesn't worry me." "You do, Eva." "I shouldn't." "Worry about yourself." "Myself?" "I don't know, your things." "I'll go give Marina a kiss." "Okay." "We should go out dancing some evening..." "Sara, it's me." "I'm out of the pool and going... home to eat so, if you want to come..." "You must be busy rehearsing." "Okay, I'll see you later." "I fell asleep." "What are you reading?" "A book I found here." "You can borrow it if you like." "Okay." "That's my son... at a birthday party we gave him." "Where does he sleep here?" "With me." "Here, where you are." "Let's go to the cinema, on me." "We can't." "You know that, Ana." "Someone could see us." "Imagine your dad and Mario go to the cinema." "They're brothers." "And we see them." "What would I say?" "What would you say?" "Or someone from school." "You're my student." "We can't." "They'd expel me." "They'd expel you." "You understand?" "Good afternoon." "Yes?" "A round trip air ticket, Friday to Monday." "To where?" "To Paris." "Have a seat." "I have several offers." "The most interesting..." "Iberia, that comes to about 180, 200 euros." "Where is that?" "That's Mallorca." "And next to that?" "Those are the Canary Islands." "If you want..." "I have an offer that includes air fare... transfer to the hotel, Bed and Breakfast." "How much would that be?" "For how many people?" "For two." "Around 800 euros, approximately." "I can have a catalogue, right?" "Shall I reserve for Paris?" "No, thanks." "I'll come back." "Bye." "Hello." "I was waiting for you." "To say good-bye." "We're through." "I wanted to give you this." "From the show." "Come on by." "There's the address, the opening." "It's nearby." "You can come with anyone." "Sure... but... we're about to open as well." "I may drop by some other day." "Okay, I'm glad to have seen you." "Me too." "I'm going to have a bite somewhere." "If you want..." "No." "Well, yes." "I have to go home, I'm in a hurry." "I'm going to a friend's premiere tonight." "She did the wardrobe and..." "Well, okay, see you." "And good luck." "Bye." "You ordering?" "Yes." "Isn't Manu coming?" "He works till midnight." "Maybe he'll come later." "How's Mariana?" "It's been a long time." "She's got a loose tooth." "And now loves her father." "Really?" "Yes." "How's your studio?" "Fine, very well." "Sara seems happy." "Yes." "Yes." "What?" "Whisky and the bathroom." "Hi, Mario." "How are you?" "Fine." "I liked it a lot." "Thanks." "You're fantastic." "Come on!" "Yes." "The audience loved it." "Let's see what the critics say." "Regards to Elena." "We split up 6 months ago." "I didn't know." "Did she take the house in Gerona?" "Yes, she did." "I live in Barceloneta." "At least I'm... near the sea... and I can walk the dog." "It's a nice area, becoming popular..." "Sure." "There's a table there." "Yes." "Are you okay?" "I feel a bit dizzy." "Have you eaten?" "Yes." "And you're drinking?" "No, I ate." "Something disagreed with me." "Did you take precautions?" "What?" "Yes..." "When will Eric be back." "Well... he called because there was a problem." "But in a few days, I think." "Yes." "Well, if you're pregnant... don't tell him because you might not see him again." "He's a guy." "I know what I'm saying." "Sure, guys are like that cause they can't have kids." "If they could, they'd be more..." "less." "Get that water." "I waiting for you to call and ask me out." "The last time I saw you, you were splitting up." "Are you already with someone?" "No." "Well, call to go out to dinner." "You have my number?" "Yes, I think so." "Then call." "I may go out with you." "Okay." "Sofia, please." "Should I check?" "I've made one with cheese and one with ham." "And eat the mandarins." "The heavy sock is in the blue bag." "Will you remember?" "Manu?" "What?" "When she has a boyfriend, he'll feel her breasts too." "When you have a boyfriend." "Say hello to Sofia." "Hello." "Hello." "How's school?" "Okay." "It's all a bit..." "Come here, Theo." "Today is a bit complicated." "You're soaking." "There's the bathroom." "You had to go." "I brought apples for your stomach." "Thanks." "And this." "Thanks." "Any fever?" "How much did you spend?" "Theo paid." "You bought a futon?" "Yes." "Very good." "Very nice." "You like it?" "It's like romantic." "Yeah, yeah." "You going to the Canary Islands?" "Sofia?" "Oh, yeah." "I was just looking at some offers..." "cause Eric wants to go." "To which?" "But I don't think we can." "Why not?" "As it seems, they're assigning him... to Milan." "Well, maybe, we'll see, maybe not until Christmas..." "I may not see him till then." "Then go to Paris." "Catch a plane and you're there in an hour." "You see, I can't right now." "Why not?" "I have no money." "I'll lend it to you." "Well, not me." "But Sara, or..." "Are you staying for lunch?" "No, I have an appointment with someone." "And take Theo to his mother's." "How is she?" "It's been a long time." "Fine, we argue a lot." "Manu was right." "It's not worth splitting up for that." "Did you wash your hands?" "That's why she still loves you." "Happy birthday." "Thanks." "I hope you like it." "Thanks." "Is it familiar to you?" "Yes, it's very good." "You've got it." "Yes, you've got it." "Yes, yes." "Give it back." "I do, but..." "Don't worry, I'll change it." "Manu called to say happy birthday and to ask what we're doing tonight." "No..." "I'm not in the mood." "Let's go outjust for a while." "Well, no..." "I'm fine at home." "Sara... why don't we have a kid?" "No?" "I know we talked about that and..." "I said what I said." "That makes no difference." "But... maybe now is good times." "Why now and not before?" "Don't get mad." "I'm not mad, Mario." "Things must be done when you want." "No, that's not true." "That's not true." "Look, I don't know if now... is right, or even if I want to." "It was difficult to get it out of my mind." "I love you." "You haven't said so in a long time." "You know me." "We'll talk, okay?" "I'll go get dessert." "Hi, Irene, it's Eva." "Are you there?" "Call my cell phone." "Bye." "Last year I was in a house in the mountains... with a fireplace... and some lakes nearby." "There was a disco in the village." "I called and it's not expensive." "So I reserved it..." "in your name." "Besides, we wouldn't meet anyone there." "So, we can get out, Thomas." "If it's for the money, I've got some." "No, it's not that." "I have no car, Ana." "Ask my uncle, he's got a very big one." "You know what I'd like the most?" "To go by car." "Listen to music... stop at gas stations..." "I'm going out." "We have too much." "I'm fed up." "I'll tidy up." "Well, I have an appointment with Thomas." "You want me to stay?" "You want to go out with your friends, right?" "Well, yes, maybe." "Do you mind?" "No." "We'll talk later." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Hi, Mario." "What's up?" "Are you alone?" "Yes." "I came up with..." "Frank." "Frank." "We had a date?" "No." "I'll buy you dinner." "It's my birthday." "Or are you busy?" "No, I was going to shower." "This is new." "Yes." "Put something here." "It's crooked." "No?" "Yes." "Where's the phone?" "Inside." "I'll call Manu." "Mario..." "could you lend me your car." "When?" "Soon." "I have a gig in Zaragoza." "Okay, call me." "The other day I had lunch at the beach... and saw Sara getting out of a cab." "Give her this." "She asked me for it." "Okay." "Give it to her." "Sure I will." "These condoms are shit." "They break." "Yeah?" "I brought a catalogue from the shop." "There's a good one here." "It's not very big." "But we'd need a table, or something, you know?" "Or measure it..." "Look, these are the widescreen tv's that I like." "I don't know." "I like the flat ones the best." "But they're expensive." "We've got a TV." "And Irene, but... it's 10 years old, and all that." "Fuck, it's the same old story!" "It's not the money, but I..." "I feel bad about buying stuff." "We'll get a new one when this one breaks." "Sure, whatever you say." "Am I right or not?" "Sure, I just felt like it." "It's okay." "I found that wine we liked so much." "Remember?" "Yeah, it was very good." "I bought a case." "Let's open one." "Okay." "We haven't gotten drunk lately." "I'll take care of him." "Come." "Your book's here." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Let's see... anything else?" "No, thank you." "If you have concert tickets, we could go." "Yes, I do, I do." "Tickets for today, Thursday and Sunday." "Today is fine." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "You like classical music?" "Yes, I like everything." "Sure." "Where?" "At the Palau." "At 9:30." "How about 9, at the entrance?" "Okay, at the main entrance." "There's two." "Yeah." "Give me the book." "I pay there." "Yes, there." "Bye." "See you." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "You, here?" "I've come to return the book." "Mario had it." "I told you, it sells a lot." "Lunch?" "Okay." "Irene has to give me something back." "I'm going to a wedding." "This is ugly." "It is, isn't it?" "Are you dizzy?" "What is it?" "Why are you dizzy?" "Drink some water." "It's okay, my blood pressure's been really low lately." "Come on, Irene." "That happen often?" "Not that I know of." "We all need a checkups." "We could have cancer." "You don't want to go?" "No." "I'mjust dizzy." "I'll get over it eating." "How are your dizzy spells?" "Fine." "When's Eric coming back?" "He's not coming cause we broke up." "That's best." "I didn't know." "How come you broke up?" "I couldn't go one with someone who doesn't... if there's no commitment..." "I went to see him, we talked and... that's it." "It's best for both of us." "You went to Paris?" "Yes." "When?" "On Sunday." "I was off on Monday, and came back yesterday." "You said nothing." "It was a surprise." "An hour and a quarter by plane." "And you argued." "Quite a bit cause he didn't want to break... but he finally realized that... if it can't be, it can't be." "He's not coming for now." "We still feel attraction... for each other." "I don't get it, Sofia." "Give yourself time." "You rush and..." "No, Sara." "Yes... besides... he's married." "He has kids?" "What?" "Yes, he has a boy..." "and a girl." "Two." "I don't want to be anyone's mistress." "And why don't you want to?" "Because I want a man just for me." "Those affairs turn sour." "They end when they have to." "Meanwhile, you enjoy them." "What if they turn out well?" "That isn't what she wants." "Things aren't always as you want... no matter who you may meet." "Make the most of it." "And when it's over, that's it." "I don't like a person like that." "Married, with kids." "I'm sure he has other lovers in Paris, Milan." "I don't like liars." "He has disappointed me." "Don't judge people." "Everyone... does their will." "I want a family, like yours." "Or like Irene's." "I'm going to the... to splash some water on my face." "Well... you saw Paris." "And the Eiffel Tower?" "Of course." "And I've met someone else." "Andrés, a university physics teacher." "Getting acquainted." "We've slept together." "What's so funny?" "Andrés is here, and Eric in Paris, married." "How do you feel lately?" "Well, so-so." "How could that happen?" "I already told you." "Many couples who have to resort to in vitro... are more prone to pregnancy." "As you don't take precautions." "Look." "I want some blood tests right away." "Tomorrow, and we'll see." "You want another girl?" "What about your husband, he wants a boy?" "We've decided not to." "You want to abort?" "Yes." "You sure?" "This may not happen again." "Yes, but... we have talked it over, and we're quite sure." "When could it be done?" "I'll get you an appointment." "Next week?" "Okay." "Aren't you cold?" "No." "Half my family is drunk." "Mario..." "I'm... sorry about the other day." "It surprised me." "I overreacted." "Forgive me." "I know that for a while..." "I have been like... absent." "I don't like to argue with you." "I can't live without you." "Why don't we go somewhere for a few days?" "You want to?" "Yes." "Then we can choose names." "I've got three already." "Shall we?" "My aunt wants to dance with you." "I fell asleep." "Why didn't you wake me?" "I thought you wanted to see the film." "Are you mad at me?" "No." "Why?" "No... cause you've been very serious lately... like avoiding me when I look at you." "So, if you're pissed at me, tell me." "It's nothing, Manu." "Really." "I don't know, I feel tired lately." "Yeah." "Eva called before." "She asked about you." "I didn't know you got dizzy." "Yeah, a little." "Bit I got over it eating." "How can you be so different being sisters?" "Eva give you her life story in 2 minutes." "You and Mario are alike." "Really?" "Yes." "Neither wants us to know what happens to you." "Or what you want." "When you hug Mario, he gets nervous." "So do you... right, Blondie?" "That's how I am." "You know that." "Yes I know, and I'm not complaining." "I like you as you are... even if you hide like a turtle." "My father is going to sell the building." "So we have to find something." "Good times are over." "It'll be our fifth place." "I'll roll a joint." "You want?" "No." "I'll be right back." "Andrés, I have to go." "You are always so slow." "What, are you in a bad mood?" "You'll stretch my slippers." "I'll have dinner with my brother from Tenerife." "Come." "Sure." "Yeah?" "He lives near the beach." "We could go someday." "Sure, besides, I've been there." "I went with a boyfriend I had." "I didn't know that." "You don't know many things about me." "You don't know me long." "My shoes are full of snow." "No, it stopped when I was leaving." "Yes." "No." "I didn't know you were home." "No, I'm at the restaurant." "No, I've got 20 minutes." "Okay." "We'll go to the cinema, or..." "Sara, Sara." "Thanks." "Hello." "Hello." "I know you from the Jamboree." "Thomas' friend." "Yes, I remember." "How are you?" "Fine." "Having a bite." "You took the bandage off?" "Yes." "It still hurts but it bothered me." "Yeah." "You come here often?" "No, no." "I was nearby." "You come often?" "How's the food?" "Yes, I worked here when they opened." "The pasta's good here." "Al pesto." "Pasta al pesto." "What do you do?" "I'm an architect." "And you?" "Awaitress." "But you do other things on the side." "Yes." "But now I'm unemployed." "Well now." "I was filling in for a girl at the Jamboree." "I see." "Well..." "Aren't you ordering?" "Yes." "Pasta al pesto... and a glass of red wine." "That's it." "Can you bring me a cake." "I've forgotten your name." "Mario." "Mario." "Christina." "Sofia." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Fine." "And you?" "Fine, fine." "You were eating?" "When did you arrive?" "2 days ago." "I had an accident." "Didn't Carlos tell you?" "I haven't seen him lately." "An accident?" "Remember I was going to my brother's wedding?" "After the banquet, we crashed the car." "But I am here, and happy to be here." "This morning I was looking for an apartment." "Know of any?" "No, I don't." "New hairstyle?" "Yes." "It suits you." "For some time now." "I won't bother you." "See you at the bookshop?" "I'm off early today." "I'm going out with my boyfriend." "In any case, some other day, okay?" "Another day." "I'm glad to have seen you again." "Besides, with all my waitress anecdotes... things you hear or are told." "Of course." "I could do something with that." "I've got a good one on Thomas." "Yeah?" "What?" "Some more coffee?" "No, now I have to go." "I'm going to the cinema." "Now?" "Yes." "I like the early show." "Alone, I love it." "Working nights, I can't." "I used to go." "As a student." "What are you going to see?" "I'll check the newspaper." "Do you want to come?" "Yes..." "No, I can't." "I have to go by the studio first." "Okay." "You're okay, Irene." "The hemorrhages and the pain are normal." "You aborted 3 weeks ago." "That's normal." "I wanted to be sure." "Take the antibiotic all week." "Okay." "Everything else okay?" "Just fine." "She has grown a lot." "And has a boyfriend." "A boyfriend?" "Sofia, Andrés." "Are you in?" "My brother'll be at my place at 9:30." "Okay?" "Bye." "This is my voice box." "Leave a message." "Did you like it?" "Well, it wasn't bad." "You've laughed." "Yes." "Thanks." "Here." "I had a great time." "Yeah, so did I." "Well, then..." "I'm going to the studio." "Okay." "Where are you going?" "That way." "I'm going that way as well." "I'm going to have chocolate." "Chocolate?" "Yes." "Yes." "Besides, summer is quite a few months away." "She lost a tooth." "Yes, the front one." "Okay, I'll tell her." "Very good." "Bye, Miguel." "Hello?" "I'm Sofia." "Yes, I called before because I remembered... what you said about the apartment and..." "I've got a colleague who's leaving one." "Downtown." "Shall I talk to him?" "Okay, no problem." "You're welcome." "No, where shall we meet?" "Very good, in half an hour, okay." "Bye, Eric." "He should see a doctor." "I think he's herniated." "And massages don't cure that." "Okay." "What?" "You tell him." "He'll listen to you." "Manu insists on helping me with the clinic." "Don't get mad." "I won't do it if you don't agree." "Olga and I are going to the lawyer's on Monday and he wants to come..." "but if you're not sure..." "That sounds fine." "Really." "You work it out." "It'll be fine." "Really?" "Set the table." "Your father called." "He's invited us at lunch on Sunday so he can explain." "Let's look on the outskirts, Irene." "Near the city... in a house with a little garden or a yard." "Any apartment we find here will be very small." "That would be much better for Marina." "What if we have another child?" "You always wanted to live on the outskirts." "It's so cold." "Here." "No." "Are you many at the apartment?" "No, three." "Give me a while." "What for?" "You haven't come, have you?" "No." "No, but that doesn't matter." "Yeah, but..." "That happens at times." "If you're stressed, or very tired, or..." "Or...?" "Or, well..." "I don't know." "You've got more here than here?" "You think?" "I don't know." "Yes." "You must be an introvert... a perfectionist... proud, without wanting to admit it." "I bet you never dance, always with a drink in your hand." "You're a good catch, with a good motorcycle." "How about dinner?" "There's a good Mexican here." "I'd love to, but I can't." "Someone waiting at home?" "I guess." "I don't know." "Don't ask for my number because I'll give it to you." "What time is it?" "I don't know." "Where were you?" "At the studio." "I've been waiting." "You can buy me dinner tomorrow." "Okay." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Fine." "Yeah." "Much better." "How's your fever?" "It's okay." "I'll leave this and we'll go." "It's not normal for you fever to rise so suddenly." "It happens at times." "I sleep it off." "How's your brother?" "He's been fired." "He wants to meet you." "We could go out together." "I may get my book published, you know?" "After 3 years." "I know philosophy books don't sell much but..." "You could put it in your showcase." "One by Kundera, mine... and one by Marsé." "Okay?" "I don't think I can, Andrés." "I'm not in love with you." "You understand?" "That's it." "There's someone else." "I thought he had gone, but he's back." "What can I do?" "My feelings for him are very strong." "Yesterday I lied to you." "But..." "I went out with him, and nothing happened." "Cause I didn't want it to, because of you." "But we both wanted to sleep together." "I've been worrying all morning." "This situation is new to me... having to pick between two men." "Eric is back, he's going to stay and... we'll see what happens." "Say something." "What do you want me to say?" "Well..." "Come on, Andrés." "I'm not in love with you." "Leave me alone, Sofia." "I'll order dessert." "I have to get back." "Coming to lunch?" "Sonia's here." "I'm off now." "I'm going home." "Well, bye." "See you tomorrow." "Okay." "I'll put your cap on for you." "Great, Marina." "Come, Theo." "I'll put your cap on for you." "Wait a moment." "Where's Theo sleeping?" "At his mother's." "I'll give you a lift." "Okay." "We can watch the match at home." "Irene's not in today." "She's got a dinner." "It's not a book." "You like it?" "A bit daring, but you dress so dark..." "I thought this would suit you." "It's unique." "You don't like it." "I'm not arguing about clothes whith you." "It's nice." "I can change it." "No." "Thomas called." "What for?" "He wanted a phone number." "He ran into Sofia and Eric on the street." "Sofia was rather shy, and... he had to introduce himself." "Why don't we call her and go out this evening?" "We'll meet them." "Drop it." "She'll call you." "Just give her time." "Each one his will." "Kiss me." "You heard me." "Hello." "Hello." "Hi, Mario." "Hi." "We're here to have dinner." "What about you?" "Also." "Mario likes this place a lot." "And you?" "We're rehearsing a play at the Romea theatre." "Really?" "Which?" "Beckett." "How nice." "Yeah, I really wanted to." "Let's hope it works out." "We'll see." "You doing anything?" "No." "Well, some publicity next week." "Well, come on over." "We open in 3 weeks." "I'll see you." "Okay." "We have a pending dinner for the prize." "Yes, I know." "There was no need to even say hello." "Awave hello would have sufficed." "You broke up, right?" "There's no need to invite her." "We won't go." "Have some respect... some tact." "See you." "Dessert?" "Yes, thanks." "How long have you known?" "I don't want to talk, Sara." "I know it ended and that's all I need to know." "I've kept out of it and want to stay that way." "Actually, I had forgotten." "I want everything to go back to normal... like before, like a while ago." "You want some dessert?" "Come on." "You fell asleep." "Yeah." "I borrowed this." "I was hungry." "A toast?" "There's cheese, and cheese." "Have you got to go?" "Not yet." "Have something." "Sure." "I'm sure you'll want to be my agent now." "You don't like my pictures?" "Yes." "I liked the three I saw of your girlfriend." "You knew her?" "No, but..." "I saw you on the street some time ago." "Then I found out about the accident." "Yes." "That's over." "I fire the psychologist." "I feel fine..." "here... with you." "And you?" "Are you a friend of Paula?" "I saw her picture on the fridge door." "Yes, you too?" "No, not friends." "How come you know her?" "We had an affair before she went to London." "An affair?" "Do you have those often?" "Have a relationship with women?" "No, only twice." "And I'm the second?" "No, the third." "Does Manu know?" "Of course not." "We all have secrets." "Not me." "Really?" "Is there anything else?" "Not for now." "For now?" "Since we're sharing secrets..." "I had fantasized with About sleeping with you." "Years ago, at the University." "When we met on the train." "Right." "But we didn't talk much." "You didn't, I did." "Will I see you again?" "No, we'd better not, Irene." "I like making love to you, Sofia." "I know." "Let's go on a trip." "Where?" "I don't know." "There's a good offer to the Canary Islands, hotel included." "I'd love to go to those islands!" "Yes, I know." "How about next weekend?" "Monday's a holiday." "Next weekend I can't, Sofia." "My wife's coming." "Really?" "Yes, for a couple of weeks." "Then back to Paris, to work." "And all year round, between Paris and Barcelona." "You have kids?" "Yes, a boy, Claude... from my first wife." "He lives in Marseille." "I hardly see him." "Sure, that's complicated." "Yes." "I didn't know." "Of course, we hardly know each other." "I didn't know you had a boyfriend either." "Yeah." "What's he do?" "He's a journalist." "He travels a lot." "I hardly see him." "Whenever my wife is away..." "I'd like to see you, if you want." "I don't know about your boyfriend and we haven't talked... but you and I could see each other." "Yeah, sure." "I'm going to shower." "We could go have a drink, if you like." "How about the cocktail bar?" "The one I like on the Ramblas." "Okay." "Yeah?" "Hi, it's Ana." "We had a basketball game at 10... but today we're going to lose for sure." "I called in saying I'm sick." "We must change the sheets." "Thomas, are you coming?" "Let's sleep a while... and we'll make love later." "I brought you the newspaper." "Who was it, the neighbor again?" "No." "It was your wife and son." "What did she want?" "You to call her." "I told her you were showering." "Actually, we both felt rather awkward." "I forgot we were to go to the park... with Theo." "Ana... my wife's asked me to go back to live with her." "To try it again." "I've seen her more lately, and think about Theo." "That's normal." "Relationships are... you may not understand it but..." "I think that is best for me." "I don't know." "And for you as well." "I've been wanting to tell you for days." "We've had a beautiful relationship." "Ana." "You want to eat out here?" "It's a bit cold." "Cold." "The sun is shinning." "Do you want a sweater?" "Marina, place the napkins, darling." "It's so cold!" "You bought the chocolate one?" "Yes." "And what I told you?" "Don't put it in the fridge." "We're eating outside?" "Yeah." "You can wear one of Irene's sweaters." "Hi, Sara." "Hi." "How are you?" "Very well." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Use a little oil." "I've finished Manu." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "When do you leave?" "Next week." "What will you do with the sofa?" "Take it with me."

"It's rented." "Why, you interested?" "It's for a recently separated friend... and she's looking for something small." "Your apartment's nice." "I'm leaving this Tuesday." "So, if she doesn't call on Monday!" "I'm sure she's interested." "Give me the number." "Okay." "Happy birthday." "Thanks." "Hi, Manu." "Hello." "So many loaves?" "As you said." "Ana, Manu." "Hi, Manu." "Hi, Ana." "I thought one more..." "No, no, no." "Eva..." "Ana, Eva." "Hi, Eva." "Irene's sister, Manu's wife." "You've told me 20 times." "Ana, you, here?" "Hi, Mario." "What's up?"
