"One nail drives out another." "I speak from experience." "I was also in love." "The only man I ever loved in my Iife, I think." "And when it was over, I thought I was going to die." "But before long I met another guy and I moved on." "And what about Horacio and AIberto?" "That's different." "It's not love." "I'm not going to give anyone else my heart for them to fuck with it." "Have you never done it just for pleasure?" "I've only ever slept with my husband." "And you loved him?" "Listen." "You have to take all these things that you're feeling now and use them to your own advantage." "You are a very pretty and smart woman." "Don't be afraid of living life and taking risks..."

"Karen, just for a bit." "How exactly do you think I can go out when I can't even afford to eat breakfast?" "Come on, I'm going to get you something nice to eat and then after that we can look for jobs." "Okay." "You go and I'II catch up with you later." "Okay, but don't be too long."

"But after a year I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do." "No no no." "Sorry to interrupt Eduardo, but that's not true." "Ladies, what really happened is that Eduardo is a bohemian, an avid writer." "He prefers being in front of a computer or a typewriter, occupied with things that only he understands." "Is this not true?" "Yes, I Iike writing." "I decided to dedicate myself to literature, but it's not a big deal." "honestly, you should dedicate yourself to something else." "Reading is so boring." "people don't like it." "Okay, so what do you Iike doing then?" "I don't know, but something active and exciting." "But imagine yourseIfjust sitting there turning pages." "What a drag!" "I agree." "I Iove extreme sports." "In fact, I've recently started skydiving." "You know what?" "One of these days we should all go together." " What do you think?" " No." " Karen?" "Let's go!" " No, thanks." " So how did it go with the flyers?" " Fine." "And what did you think of the guy that AIberto brought for you?" " AII right." " Do you Iike him or not?" "Charming, that's all." "I thought he was pretty boring." "Did you see his oId-schooI haircut?" "He looks like a granddad." "No, darling." "Patricia, that's not important." "Don't be silly." "And what about AIberto, eh?" "Gorgeous, no?" " He invited us to his apartment." " No, I'm not going." " What about his wife?" " Why not?" "That cow is away somewhere." "I don't know, I don't care." "No, Patricia, I'm not going." "seriously." "Yes, you are." "Come on." "I promise next time I'II tell AIberto to bring you someone decent." "Because that guy, no." "There will be no "next time."" "finally!" "hold this." "We must come back, no?" " I'II pay by card, okay?" " Yes, sir." " And can you clear the table?" "Thanks." " Okay." " Can I take this to go, please?" " Sure." "For a homeless kid who lives near us." "congratulations on the beautiful apartment, alberto." " Make yourself at home." " Gorgeous." "I Iove the fireplace." "really?" "And you haven't even seen the bedroom yet." " You want to see it?" " Show me." " Okay." "Make yourselves at home, guys." " Have fun." " Thanks." " Patricia, don't be too long." " Which way?" " Right there." " AIberto, don't be too long." " Okay." "Do you want to hear music?" "Let me see what's around here." "Let me see." "Nothing." "There's nothing good to listen to." "well, I'm not so sure about that." " Are we going to the terrace?" " Fine, it's okay." "What are you writing at the moment?" " I've just finished a play." " really?" " Yes." " When I was at school, I Ioved acting." "We performed "La CeIestina" and I played MeIibea." " really?" "And are you still acting?" " No." "And even if I did it again, I'd have to be CeIestina." "Look at me." "please, don't exaggerate." "But you would Iike to act again?" "I'd love to." "really." "Okay." "And what are you doing now?" "Do you really want to know?" "If you don't mind." "I am... painting my Iife..." " repainting it." " Nice." "really." "Yes." "It's difficult, but I'm getting there." " Hey, what's up?" " Hi." " What's up, blondie?" " Everything's okay." " Okay." " This is my friend." " You'II look out for her, right?" " Of course." "obviously, blondie!" "I've seen you before at the bus stops." "Here's a present for you." "Thanks." "Where've you been?" " Why are you getting home so late?" " What are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "I've been waiting for you." "Where've you been?" "With Karen, can't you see?" "Who were you with?" "Why didn't you pick up your phone?" "I didn't pick up because I couldn't." "really?" "Why couldn't you?" "Who were you with?" "Horacio, Iet's talk tomorrow, okay?" "Let's talk tomorrow?" "Why can't we talk now?" "It's already "tomorrow."" "Have you seen the time?" "exactly." "We're really tired, so let's talk tomorrow." "Why won't you tell me who you were with, blondie?" "Hey!" "Why won't you tell me who you were with?" "I was with five guys!" "Why do you treat me like this?" "Let's talk tomorrow, okay?" "talk about what?" "You're right." "I've had it with you." "Fuck off." "Don't follow me or call me." "Fuck off!" " Come on, baby, don't be like that." " Don't "baby" me." "Fuck off." "Let's talk, okay?" "Come on, I've been waiting for you for five hours." "I don't care how long you've been waiting." "Can't you see I want to go to sleep?" "Fuck off." "Aren't you embarrassed in front of Karen?" "Get lost, Horacio." "You know what I'm capable of." "Don't make me think any worse of you." "Just go away and do whatever you want." "You're not scaring me with this nonsense." "Get lost." "Idiot." "Fuck off, Horacio!" "You'II see." "please come with me, ma'am." "We have to search you." "In your underwear, please." "How are we going to resolve this?" "Because you have to pay me three times the cost of the things you stole." "Sir, I have no money." "It's simple." "call a relative, a friend, somebody to bring you the money." "I don't know anybody around here." "Okay, then I have no option but to call the police." "No, please." "I'm begging you, sir." "What did you steal?" "Deodorant and some sanitary towels." "You know what?" "Just go." "Just go, but don't ever come to this supermarket again, you hear me?" "hello." "Are you leaving?" "Where are you going?" "Very nice, very nice." " That puppet was awesome." " Yeah, really good." "But I think he was flirting with you." "well, I have a certain charm." "Don't you think?" "Without a doubt." "So I'II see you again, won't I?" " Yes, of course." " Okay." "Do you know the East Tower?" "well, my office is on the roof." "I'm there Monday through Friday in the afternoon." "You can come whenever you want without an appointment." " I'II surprise you." " Okay." " Bye." " Bye." "Bye." "Excuse me, ma'am." "What's wrong?" "Oh, sir, somebody stole my bag and left me with nothing." " But are you okay?" "Did they harm you?" " No, I'm fine." "Be patient." "Anyway, you can get the material things back." "I can help you out, if you Iike." "I'd really appreciate it if you could, because I need to get home." "Thank you, sir." "Goodbye." "Thanks." "Done." " Thank you." " Okay." " Have you chosen, honey?" " Yes." "I Iike this." "What?" "It's okay, I Iike it." "Come on." "You'II look gorgeous." "I hope so." "Move your hair, please." "And how is AIberto?" "He asked me to move in with him." "Can I tell you something?" " I feel really sorry for his wife." " No." "Why sorry?" "That woman is horrible to him." " Ready?" " Do it." "You know what?" "I've never been to Monserrate." "really?" "would you Iike to come with me?" "No." "Why?" "You don't know the story?" "What do you mean?" "What?" "They say that couples who go to Monserrate will never get married." "well, I think I'm going to close the office for today." "I want to take you somewhere." "Bring me the bill, please." "Thanks." "But this one's on me." "No." "Yes." "A long time ago we looked like shadows." "I know, darling." "I know." "Where is it?" "I don't know, darling." "I don't know." "I gave it to you to look after on the first day," " the same day that I accepted you." " I know, darling." "I know." "Then where the hell have you put it?" "!" "If it weren't for this, we would be free." " I don't know, darling." " Shut up!" "Don't call me that!" "I haven't been your darling for a Iong time now." "And yet, I can't get away from here." "I need to find her." "If you tell me, I swear to you I'II forget all the bad memories." "But if we don't find her, the bad ones will destroy the good ones... and then I'm going to hate you for the rest of my Iife." "If I couId take somebody's hand..." "If I couId ask somebody where she is." "help me!" "Do you know where she is?" "But how could you know?" "You don't even exist." "You are the same as me-- the same." "I have only you."
