"A DAY IN PARADISE" "Hi." "Give it to me." " Give you what?" " The film!" "Have you gone mad, lady?" "How dare you take pictures of me?" "Give it to me." "It's my job." "What 's wrong with you?" "I don't care!" "Give me the film." "Jumpy, babe?" "It's not your business." "Give it to me now." "Not if you don't ask nicely, I won't." "Are you nuts?" "I'm sorry." " Is it broken?" " I don't think so." "Can't believe it." "Do you always treat photographers this way?" "Why would you want my picture, anyway." "You're the hottest model in this party." "Have you looked around?" "You're the most beautiful to me, with a shitty temper, though." " Are you always like this?" " Yeah, sure..." "A photo session's one thing... but to be spied on while I'm changing clothes..." "Ok, but you almost knocked me out!" "Ok, you asked for it." "I'm sorry." "How many times do I have to apologize?" " Who do you work for?" " People a magazine." "Ah, People." "Been at this for a long time now." "Freelance." "Let's make up." " You don't drink?" " I don't." "Models don't drink, don't eat, don't sweat, they don't go to the toilet." "We are almost perfect." " May I take your picture?" " Yes." " No, thank you." " Better not insist..." "What's the matter?" "Are you laughing at me?" "Who do you work for?" "I've never seen you around." "Wait, wait." "Bye, Carlitos, see you." "Remember Carlitos?" "...at that presentation, the other day..." "Hi, how are you?" "Hi, I need to talk to you..." "I've been abroad for long, working abroad." "I did some shows in Paris, in New York." "But I really want to come back." "Crazy, isn't it?" "Everybody's leaving and you want back." "Yes." "But I did do some stuff here." "Interviews, shows, local promotion, as my agent says." "So, you work for People." "Count on me, whenever you need me." "In fact, I am a photographer for National Geographic." "I am always on the go, Africa, Oceania." " Are you cold?" " No." " Sure?" " Sure." "Ok, but it's what I love." "Thank God I am doing well, I am happy." "This is just a hobby." "A friend of mine works for the magazine... and asked me to lend him a hand..." "And I almost told him I couldn't!" "Ouch..." "I got wet." " Excuse me... what did you bring?" " Champagne." "I brought it over from the party." "Come on, sit down." "There is only one glass." "So now you will know all my secrets." " Let's see." " They are not that bad." "I caught mumps, measles, the appendix removed." "As bad as that?" "Here, now you drink." "Mine are worse." "I suffer from hayfever, also... flat feet... and I fall asleep wherever I can." "Keep still." "Don't move." "Very still..." "I'm sorry." "I didn't want to wake you up." "Sorry." "It's just that I need to catch my plane, and..." "It was nice, wasn't it?" " What was nice?" " Everything." "Everything." " What's your name?" " Roy." "Yours?" "Brenda." " I'd like to see you again." " Me too." " Will you give me your phone number?" " Sure." "Got pen and paper?" " There?" " Tell me." "Just like cheating at school tests." "Sure." "This is a friend's phone number." "I stay with her whenever I'm in Buenos Aires." "What's yours?" "This is my studio." "I am not usually in Buenos Aires, either." "But I'm staying for a while." "When are you coming back?" "Ten days." " I'll call you." " I'll call you." "Ten days." "Go, you'll be late." "You are such an asshole!" "They'll kill me." "The bus is waiting for you." "Get on, hurry!" "Thanks for waiting for me." "I'm sorry, excuse me." "My apologies to everyone." "I had a problem." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " There's always someone." " You are right." "I'm sorry." " This is it?" " Yes, here." "You won't tell me anything?" "Was everything OK?" "What happened?" "I don't know, I don't remember." "How come you don't remember?" " It's all deleted, off my mind." " Which means," "I get you some work, You pick up a girl, you stand me up." "What?" "And you give me... the cold shoulder." " Coffee." " Thank you very much, then." "Reynaldo." "Reynaldo!" " It's scalding!" "Look!" " You think I didn't?" " I'm sorry, so sorry!" " That way." "These pictures suck!" "You're fired!" " What's up?" " You screwed up." "That's what's up." "But some of the pics are great!" "Are you kidding?" "Three out of ten films are worth nothing." "And seven are about some chick nobody knows." "200 photos wasted on a terrible photographer!" "I don't have a fucking photo of anybody!" "Don't say that." "Here, this one is mine." "She is a very famous model and she looks great, doesn't she?" "It's always the same." "Can you tell me who the fuck she is?" "Your sister?" "Nobody knows her." "Not even Dotto, or Piñeyro or any other model agency." "It's always the same!" " But she looks so great!" " Divine." "Her name's Brenda." "She's usually in Paris." " Leave the equipment here." " Why is he so mean?" " Don't be unfair." " Take him away!" " Yes, let's go." " But wait." "What about my pay?" "I owe two months' rent." "What is this?" "CALL ME" "YES, RO Y" "Come on, Reynaldo." "Wake up." "Hang on a little." "There." "Now, here." "Come on, Reynaldo." "Cheer up." "Rise and shine, cheer up." "Reynaldo, give me the books or we'll never leave." "Come on, come on." "Here, Reynaldo, try to see the good side of it all." "Sonia won't ever bug you again." "And those two morons you took under your wing." " What were their names?" " Jessica and Jonathan." "Wish I could see her face... when she finds out you're no longer there!" "Reynaldo doesn't exist any more!" "Go to work!" " Wait." " What?" " What if it is Brenda?" " No." "Give me a break." "If she didn't call by now, forget about her." "Imagine all the guys she met this month!" "Come on." "Let's go." "Let's go!" "Tati, the bathroom is free." "The water is freezing!" "The plumber said it'll take 80 pesos to fix it." "So we will keep on freezing to death." "Why are you eating again?" "You aren't pregnant, are you?" "You are calling that guy again?" "Stop bugging!" "I think he gave you a wrong number, on purpose." "He may be out, on a trip." "Why don't you forget about this?" "Maybe I misread the number." "Took a 4 for a 7." "He is a famous photographer." "He won't even look at you twice." "I mean well." " An old woman picks up." " What?" "An old woman answers the phone." "You didn't tell him about your boyfriend, did you?" "Pelusa, buzz off." "Hi, Mom." "I brought Reynaldo, he's staying for a couple of days." "Good morning, madam." "How are you?" "I'll be right back." "Ok, done." "I told you to leave it there." "Leave it there." "There it is." "Ok." "Let's go eat something." "Yeah, let's eat." "I'll show you your room later." "Mom, why don't you come and eat with us?" "I'm no longer hungry." "Mom." "Mom, are you OK?" "Remember today we have a double shift." "I can't today." "I've got a very important audition." "Who do you think you are?" "Julia Roberts?" "Shut up, it's Pepito Cibrián's." "Cibrián?" "Good!" "What are you supposed to do?" "I'll sing, of course." "Claudio." "Music, please." "Come on." "Come on." "Flow." "Just flow and fly." "I want to hear you fly." "You are flying." "Beyond the test." "That's it." "You will always be here." "I will always be here." "Fly for me." "Feel it." "OK, give birth to me." "Give birth to me." "Please." "That's it." "You are going down." "Slowly." "All right, little one." "Good, Ros." "Thanks, Tati." "All right." "I am going to..." "I've decided on all of you." "Except for you." "Oh, I don't know." "Flying is not always the right thing at the right time." "I am sure you'll fly like an eagle some day." "But today I cannot take you on board." " You will forgive me, won't you?" " I will." "You are great!" "Really!" "My pleasure, and I wish you all the best, the very best!" "You find it, work on it, sure you will." "I'll be here." "I'll be waiting for you, love." "Thanks." "I leave you with them." "Need anything else?" "No." " Sure?" " Sure." "Please, ok?" "I leave you with Tati, and with you." "This of it as a temporary solution, Reynaldo." "As soon as you get some money, you'll pay rent again." "Anyway, the room looks good, doesn't it?" "I still haven't remodelled it." "But there is a nice yard, barbecue, toilet." "Ok, it is not a suite." "You have to cross the hall." "But it is just over there." "You can't complain." "I can't complain?" "I depend on you, I have no job, at my age!" " It is like..." " That's it." "Verbalize." "Say it all." "You have to let go of that burden." "You have to talk." "It's good." "I'll finish this up." "Go." "Ok." "I'll better leave you alone for a while." "Hey, two things." "Let's try not to wet the toilet seat... and not to walk around naked." "Naked, are you crazy?" " Mom." " All right." " You are not putting that up, are you?" " Why not?" "No!" "The old lady would die." " Really?" " Not that I don't like it." "It's great." "I love it, but... it's too much for her." "Reynaldo, make yourself at home." "Roy, from the photography department." " And the surname?" " I don't know." "But here everybody knows him." " What department?" " Photography." "He has dark hair, a beard." "Beautiful eyes." " Like mine." " No!" "Reynaldo!" "You got paid!" "Muller is difficult, but German." "Let's go before he regrets it." "Let's go to the file room." "I have to leave this." "Yes, she is right here." "All right." "The guy you are looking for doesn't exist, little one." "You've got the littlest, tiniest..." "SOME TIME LATER..." "Yes, love, yes." "Call me when you are leaving, so I can go pick you up." "I miss you." "Yes, I miss you." "Why not?" "Stop that, Nacho!" "Somebody might overhear!" "No, well." "It's embarrassing..." "Ok, ok, gotta go." "Pelu is here." "Kissy, kissy." "Two." "Two kisses." "Bye." "Don't tell me." "I won't have any part in it." " How is he doing?" " Who?" " Nacho." " Fine." "He won the Polo tournament." " Oh, God!" " What's up?" "I don't get it." "I don't understand." "Four years dating with this great guy... and you are still not sure about tying the knot!" "Why don't you get married?" "I am not made that way." "Your mom is great." "What else did she send?" "A sweater." "Beautiful." "Winter brings back her motherly instinct." "What was the name of your town?" " Chacharramendi?" " Right." "It must be nice to live in a small town, far from the maddening crowd." "You wouldn't be missing much." "In Chacharramendi, you either get married or you leave." "It's about a guy that takes pictures of old bridges." "He's so handsome, old, and a great guy." "And he falls in love with Meryl Streep." "There he is leaving." " Get off, you silly goose, get off." " She doesn't!" "How could she?" "She's married, she has kids." "Do you think she can do what she wants?" "But he's the love of her life." "Come on, he'll go away!" "She's not..." "I know." "I've seen it a thousand times." "So?" " Would you get off?" " Of course." "You find the love of your life, and you stay there, watching him leave." "He turned the corner." "Didn't I tell you she's stupid!" "Now, tell me." "How does she know he is the love of her life?" "I don't know, it never happened to me." "Who is that kid?" "He is amazing, no one can stop him." "17 years old!" "See where the move starts." " Look, just look at him!" " Amazing." "They can't stop him!" " What happened?" " Mom." " What?" " Mom." "She spends the day inside the house, it's the only thing she watches." "Well, but..." " Mom, have you taken your pill?" " Hmm..." "No, I haven't taken the pill." " Goal!" " Fuck!" "They show it again in the evening..." "Close up of a woman clinging on to a coffin." "She cries sorrowfully." "Then she comes closer, and kisses her dead husband." "Is this a joke?" "So sick!" "Who wrote this?" "It's a parody." "Go on." "Kissing a dead man..." "that's so disgusting!" "Think of the money she'll inherit." "It's an ad for an insurance company." "Yes, it says so here." ""Then she grins, a distrusting smile."" "How do you smile distrustingly?" "Something like..." " That looks like you're a moron." " Then I don't know." "Distrust, this way, more like..." "It is a mixture." "It's a distrusting moron." "Great." "Do it your way." "And she whispers:" ""How am I going to live without you?"" ""How am I going to live without you?"" "Put your heart into it, right?" "You are the widow." " Shall I weep?" " Can you do that?" "Wait." " Look, see?" " Now, now." "How am I going to live without you?"" "Excellent!" "See?" "It must be nice to inherit a load of money." "I don't know what I'd do." " I'd buy you a theatre." " For me?" " Wouldn't you like that?" " I'd love it!" "And a clapping audience, in case Churrismendi fails to send someone." "Chacharramendi." "Chacharramendi." "I wonder why I am your friend." "You know why you are my friend?" "Because I always tell you the truth." "In a world of hypocrites, where everybody lies," "I, Pelusa Salinas, always speak my mind." "Maybe that is why I am always left alone." " Hi." " Hi." "I need women's magazines, with models, please." "Thank you." "Just a second, I want to check something out." "Or... maybe there..." "Let me see..." "What are you looking for?" "These magazines are so boring!" "Thank you, sir." "That is the one I want." "The Chinese horoscope." "But I wanted to see if Roy was mentioned." " Thank you very much." " You're welcome." "Let's see." "The last time, you said:" ""Women only want to get hooked"" "And what do you want, Berardinelli?" "I don't know what I want." "Don't you think you might be hooked?" "There is a cord you don't dare to cut." "Would to be so kind as to move a little?" "Your shoes are distracting me." "What's with my shoes?" "Don't you like them?" "No, no..." "They are shoes for women, right?" "And what shoes should I wear, according to you?" "My mother would never wear those shoes." "Ok, we stop here." "Look, technically they are OK." "How many more do you have?" "Not many, these and a few more sketches." "To sell a series you need at least ten." "And can you sell them by the unit?" "It's hard." "Selling is tough, right?" "Something is missing, and I don't know what it is." "It is like you never set yourself free." "But leave them here." "We'll see what we can do." "I appreciate this, Benet." "Not at all." " Goodbye." " Bye." "Benet, I am working on some portraits." "Actually, I have only done one..." "Reynaldo, portraits don't sell that much." "Bring it, anyway." "No, it's OK." "Just asking." "She's pretty, isn't she?" " That chick again." " I wasn't my old self." "I mean, the one who was with Brenda was Roy, not me." "Roy?" "Reynaldo, that chick only wanted to be in the mag." "Can we talk shop now?" "It's a guy who's drawing the Eiffel Tower." "Which would be you." "The main thing..." " Reynaldo, I am speaking to you." " And I am listening." "A guy is drawing the Eiffel Tower." "You don't understand what this means to me." "Drawing is sacred to me." "You can't mix art..." "What art?" "What are you talking about?" "You think I like calling the roll... in shitty night-school classes?" "But it's a job." "It helps pay the bills." "Plain as it is." "What's wrong with drawing the Eiffel Tower?" "That's not drawing." "Of course, I am talking to Michelangelo." "Excuse me, then." "Why don't you put your feet on the ground?" " A little bit, at least." " All right, it's OK." "It's not just OK." "It's very good." "It's 300 bucks." "You can't pass on this one." "Does it have to be the Eiffel Tower?" " Phone call, Reynaldo." " Who is it?" "A girl." "She wouldn't tell me her name." "Hi." "Ah, Sonia." "How are you?" "I was about to call you." "I..." "Yes, Yes." "She found him." "My sister gave you the phone number." "How nice of her!" "I was going to give it to you." "But this was so sudden..." " How is it going?" " I bet you she gets money." " Rather impolite." " You know..." "She didn't even say "Good evening"." "I don't have much work now, Sonia, you see?" "I know you are not very well off either." "Yes, everybody is going through the same." "At least you have the apartment." "Let's do this, Sonia." "In a week..." "I will get some money, and bring it to you." "Ok?" "Right." "I'll call you." "Bye." "My sister is a bitch." "I say, women all play for the same team." "All right, guys." "Sit down." "Tatu, give me a minute." "Please." "What about our deal?" "We said not at home." "It's only this one time, just one." "He's adorable, you'll meet him." "Go for a walk." "Let me in, I have to rehearse." "I have so many things to do." "I am tired." "You want me to tell him to leave now, in front of you?" "Come on." "Just half an hour." "All right?" "Have a coffee at the bar round the corner." "My treat." "I love you." "Good morning." "Get the picture for me, please." " Excuse me." " Yes." "Hi." "I am the illustrator." "I have to do a drawing of the Eiffel Tower." "That script has been cancelled." "What do you mean cancelled?" "Cancelled." "Miss." "I have been practicing for two days." "What do you mean cancelled?" "Charlie is crazy." "I need a guy for ad 5, right now." " What?" " A guy for ad 5." " A guy?" " The other one is gone." "How about this one?" "There is no time to choose." "Send him over to make-up." "Come here, please." "Come with me." "Make him up." " What's your name?" " Reynaldo." "Sit down, Reynaldo." "Make yourself comfortable." "Reynaldo, how much did you agree on for the drawing?" " 300 pesos." " 300 pesos, then, cash." "Yes, but what do I have to do?" "I'll be right back to explain it all." "How am I going to live without you?" "Perfect." "Perfect." "What's missing?" "Come on." "We are set." "Ready." "Come on." "Here, lift your head." "It's going out of focus." "That's it." "Very well." "Close your eyes." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Stand there." "Are you ready, Charlie?" "Silence!" "We are taping!" " Camera!" " Taping." "Action!" "How am I going to live without you?" "What will I do without you?" " Roy!" " Brenda!" "Cut!" "What are you doing?" "You can't talk." "You are dead!" "Have you ever seen dead people open their eyes?" "Don't move, the widow cries and you play dead." "Dead!" " Yes, sir." " Are we set?" "Save my life, I'm begging you." "What's going on?" "If you do this for me, I'll play a dead man you will just love." "Pretend we are long-time friends." "Because of..." " Get it?" " All right." " The name is Roy." " All right." " And you?" " Charlie." "There he is." "Ok, Roy." "I'm asking this as a friend." "Concentrate." "Dead." "We get ready for another one." "Fancy meeting you here!" "Shush!" "Running!" "Roy, dear, remember you are dead." "Don't worry, Charlie." "Yes." "How am I going to live without you?" "Cut!" "What are you doing?" "You can't kiss her." "You are crazy!" "Again." " Did he raise his eyebrows?" " Yes." "Cut!" "I'll get it, Charlie." "It's OK." "He is too eager." "How am I going to live without you?" "Cut." "Roy, you can't do this to a friend." "There's something in my..." "It's all right." "Something..." "I am here because of Charlie, the director." "Friends, ever since we were born." "I did a lighting job for him." "He says I'm his lucky charm." "So I get a part in all the movies he makes." "Like Hitchcock." "You're a great guy." "I wouldn't do this, not even for my best friend." "Getting inside a coffin, never." "Ok, but Charlie is from my neighborhood." "You cannot count every favor you do..." "Truth is, I shouldn't be eating this." " You don't like it?" " No, not that I don't like it." "If my agent saw what I am eating..." "This must contain some 15,000 calories." " A little, on your lip." " Did I get stained?" "No." "A little." "No, it's OK." "You are more beautiful than I recalled." "Stop lying." "You know so many women!" "Yes, but you don't spend a night like that... on the beach, with everybody." "True." "That is... always different." "I wasn't thinking about that." "I must say I also remember that part, a little." "You didn't like it?" "What?" "The beach..." "Yes, yes." "Are you embarrassed?" "No." "It was very nice, that's what's so odd about this." "I don't know..." "Seeing you after three months is like..." "Since I came back I go to the Palermo lakes." " You know the bridge near the restaurant?" " Yes." "I stay there for hours, staring at the water." "I never miss a Spring Day." "I love it." "Full of kids, lovers." " You always go?" " Always!" "Always there." "When I'm in Argentina, of course." "I'm not here often, though." "But in Paris I stare at the Seine." "The Seine is much better than the Thames." "What do you think?" "You can't compare them." "The Seine!" "I am leaving for Saint Moritz... and I stay on to ski." " Stephanie of Monaco is there." " Sure." " Of course, you can ski." " Of course." "And snowboard..." "May I?" "You don't have to ask." " Let's go." " Yes." "To a hotel?" "No, in a hotel they would recognize me." "What about your studio?" " What?" " Your studio." "I'm recycling." "It's a real mess." "I hate it." "It's a pity." "So let's go to your house." "Your place?" "You are married." " You are married!" " No!" "I've been so stupid." "You didn't tell me." "Are you?" " I am not married." " So?" "We split up three years ago." " And why?" " You never know why." "We separated." "I can't blame Sonia, my ex." "She's a good person." "It's a long story." "She had two kids." "Too spoilt." "I think there wasn't enough love between us." "That's what happened." "And you?" "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Look!" "It's not raining any more!" "There's a taxi." "Taxi!" "How can you leave like that?" "How will I find you?" "Next week at the same bar, same place, same time." "What do you mean next week?" "You are skiing." "It is not for sure." "I might stay on, but then I might not." " That bar, Thursday." " At nine?" "At nine." " Will you come?" " Of course." "The Sheraton, please." "A coin, please?" " A coin, please?" "Thanks." "Stop!" "I'm getting off here." " How much?" " You kidding?" "You just got on." "I'm not kidding." "I get off here." " How much?" " Give me 2 pesos." "2 pesos?" "I'm telling you he was the main character." "The main character?" "Wasn't he dead?" "He was the dead man." "He's one of the director's best friends." "And did him that favor." "This guy rocks me." "That's what he wants." "To rock you." "You don't see there can be another type of relationship, where you make contact by looking the other person in the eyes." "Besides," "I caught him looking at my boobies." "Take them off." "You must be nuts." "They cost me over 1,700 dollars." "Pelu." "He said I didn't find him because he was on a trip." "You told him you were looking for him?" "You never learn!" "You never, ever show a guy you like him!" "Why shouldn't I, if I do like him?" " I like being with him." " Because!" "He will think you want to hook him up." "If you play difficult, they last a bit longer." " This way he will last a night." " For you they last a night." "Could be, but because I want to." " I have fun." " Oh, really?" " You have fun, and then?" " Then, nothing, I forget." "You spend you life forgetting about guys." "Pelu." "See how you make me feel." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "I'm like this, a brute, from the countryside." "An animal." "You are an animal." "I say things without thinking twice." "I don't know why you don't go back to Churrisadeli... and stop bugging me." " Where?" " Churrisade..." "Churrisadeli." "I'm sorry." "Don't worry." "You'll get used to it." "It's not such a big deal." "Just a few hours." " Come here." "Come." " What happens?" "The unconscious shows in the way you look." "Remember that." "If your tie is twisted..." "There." "You want respect?" "Show some attitude." "A class assistant has to be tough." "In the classroom they cannot eat, smoke or jerk off." " What do you mean jerk off?" " This is night school, not kindergarten." "The best student is in first year for the third time." "Relax." "Don't panic, It is not so terrible." " You call the roll and leave." " Right." " Don't spoil it." " No, no." " Don't fuck it up." " No." "Lisi." " Rosales." " Present." "Tretánico." " No." "Trecánico." " Sorry." "Trecánico." "Attention!" "Get a blank sheet of paper, and leave nothing else on your desks." " Don't leave." " Ok, I'll stay." "Topic one." "List and develop the laws of electrolysis." "Topic two." "Develop the potential of electrode and battery." "Understood?" "You can start." "I'll come back in a second." "Can you watch them?" " Sure." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "You were cheating." "I thought it was..." "Cheating in my face?" "Do I look stupid?" "You think I like to come here?" "I don't like this job, I just need it." "Things are not going right and I have to come here." "You think I like coming here?" "I'm sorry, nobody intends to do you any harm." "Physics is hard and nobody understands it." "And she's happy only when when she writes an F." "Why don't you study?" "It will be useful in your lives." "What use was it for you... to know the potential of an electrode?" "To produce electrolysis we need two electrodes... of first-class conducting material..." "Change some words, don't copy everything." "...which go connected to the generator... of the electricity current." " Which are linked..." " There she comes!" " Everything ok?" " Perfect." "DATING DAY..." "AT LAST!" "Let me see if you like it..." " Like this?" "Do you like it?" " No." "There?" "Like this?" "No!" "Let's see there." "There?" " Hi," " Hi, can I help you?" " That striped shirt." " I'll get it for you." "Look, here you have 258 styles." "Call me when you've chosen one." "Yes." "The shirt that man is wearing." "Perfect." " May I?" " Sure, I'll get it." "There!" "Don't touch it any more." " I like this one." " You came like this." "Doña Paula!" "Doña Paula, what happened?" "What happened?" "What?" "Slowly." "Can you talk?" "I am asking you." "Look at me." "What happened?" "Fuck!" "Everything will be just fine." "Reynaldo is here." "He will..." "Hold on." "Stay like that." "That, very well." "It will be all right." "What happened, dear?" "What?" "Hello?" "Ambulance?" "It's an emergency." "Berardinelli." "2146.Thames Street." " A house or a flat?" " It's a house." " How long?" " An hour and 40 minutes." " How long?" " An hour and 40 minutes." " It is an emergency!" " We'll do what we can." "As soon as possible, please," "Hold on, Very well." "Where are you, son of a...?" "Where are you?" "Hello." "Hello?" "Hold on, Doña Paula." "The ambulance is coming." "It will be all right." "Son of a..." "You don't want to answer?" "I don't know who might be calling." "That's why." "Interesting what you say, but not the way you say it." "You don't know, but still wonder." ""Who could it be?" "'" "Who, Berardinelli?" "A woman who wants to hook you up?" "Or another one who refuses to let go?" "No, Doña Paula, stay straight." "I have some good news." "The doctors arrive any minute." "Up you go." "Don't do this to me." "It's time!" "I have my date with Brenda!" "Straight." "Up." "It will all be all right." "Fuck!" "My new shirt!" "There it goes." "Can I help you?" "I'm meeting with someone." "Paulie, Reynaldo will go." "He is leaving the door open for the doctors to come in." "You stay here, calm." "They will come and get you back to shape, OK?" "It will all be all right, Paula." "I am..." "There." "There." "Easy." "God!" "Hi." "Hi." "My friends told me you were looking at me." "And I thought we could have a drink." "Tell your friends they saw wrong." "What?" "Can you leave?" "I am not leaving." "I'm here." "I'm staying here with you." "Easy does it." "Mom, I'm home." "Excuse me." "Have you seen a pretty girl, a brunette...?" " She was alone." " No, I just arrived." " Where is the toilet?" " To the left." "Tati." "It's me, Nacho." " Don't you recognize me?" " Nacho, what are you doing here?" "I missed you, and I came." "What, is it wrong?" "No, but why didn't you call?" "I wanted to surprise you, honey." "What 's up?" "What's wrong?" "Honey, what's the matter?" "They are monitoring her just in case." "She is fine." "Reynaldo." "I want to tell you something." "I need to verbalize what is happening to me." "If you hadn't been there." "she would have died!" "Can you tell me where the fuck you were?" "For God's sake, that's what I want to know." "I lost my last chance to meet her." "Stop it!" "She might." "have forgotten about you." " Let's go celebrate." " Celebrate what?" "Stop it!" "Celebrate what!" "I'll take you to a place..." " and you'll forget about her." " I don't want to go!" "Come with me!" "If you could only see the chicks sitting behind you." "Don't turn around." "You said that already." "If I stay here, how could I see them?" "They are two rockets." "A brunette and a redhead." "Not a redhead." "Reminds me of Sonia." "Ok, I take the redhead." "Don't worry." "They say they are wild." "If I stay, I turn around." "Don't, idiot." "If you turn around you'll ruin everything." "You have to lead them slowly." "The redhead is eating you with her eyes." "My nape, you mean." "Are they checking us out?" "No, I'm lying." "Of course they are!" "They're constantly looking this way." " Shit, they are leaving." " How come?" "Yes, two guys came and took them with them." "Fuck it!" "The mention of Sonia's name was enough... for them to get up and leave." "How could you stand her for 5 years?" "5 years, 4 months and 20 days." "You must have been bored to death." "No, I didn't have time for that." "No spare time at all." "Every morning, fixed bike to reduce the tummy." "Twice a week, marital therapy." "Twice a week, family therapy, with the kids." "Tuesdays, a course to quit smoking." "Fridays, hair massage." "More than bored, I was dead tired." "Come on." "You know why I wanted to see her?" " Who?" " Brenda." "To tell her who I am." "Even if I never saw her again." "I wouldn't mind." "I don't want to lie any more!" "Come on." "Let's go." "Wait." "What is it?" "I'm 45 and I am not going anywhere." "Look at me." "You think I'm going anywhere?" "I'm Ionelier than a spider." "I can't leave my Mom." "See what happened today." "If I leave her alone, she dies." "And where would I go then?" "You know how long it's been since I had a girlfriend?" "I don't mean a chick." "A..." "I don't know." "A woman to talk with." "A partner." "9 years." "9 years!" "The last one was Zulemita, what a name!" "Speech therapist." "All she wanted was a white wedding." "Imagine me marrying." "How could I leave my Mom alone?" "I don't know, Reynaldo." "Sometimes I wonder if I'm gay." "That's what I wanted to talk about." "Hi!" "I can't believe it!" "I saw you on the screens!" "You were all over the place!" " Beautiful!" " Are you talking to me?" "I don't know you." "Brenda, let me explain what happened that night." "I beg you." "I remembered about the date all day... and I have remembered it ever since." " Yes, but you didn't come." " Because I was late." "I want to explain why I arrived late." "And tell you something really important to me." " I am listening." " Don't do this to me." "Not here." "Not like this." "Please." "You like the horizontal position, don't you?" " That is your style." " No." "I want to have a drink with you." "To talk in a quiet place." "Please, come." "You said you wanted to say something." "I'm all ears." " Really?" " Yes." "But you must understand this is really important to me." "Well, say it, now." "The person you think I am..." "Honey, I was looking for you." "Where were you?" "I went to meet you where you said." "This is Roy, the photographer I mentioned." "The photographer for the magazine?" " Nice to meet you." "Ignacio." " Hi. how are you?" "Fine." "I wanted to thank you for what you did for her." " It was nothing." " How could it be?" "It was important for her career, I mean." "Very important." " Can I help you?" " Thanks." "We are leaving." " Do you want lunch?" " Yes, let's go." " Would you like to join us?" " He cannot come." "It's just a while." "Maybe he's hungry." "No, Nacho." "He's really busy." "He'll be late." "He could visit the ranch." "He'd love it." "You'd love the ranch." "It is wonderful." "You could capture great images there." "But he's traveling a lot, he doesn't have time." "Is it true, what they say about the model and the photographer?" "That they have a special bond." "That the photographer captures sensations through the camera." "No, actually they use us, don't you?" "We use you models?" "Yes." "No." "You wouldn't work without us." "Besides, they exploit us, makes us dream and then... they just drop us." "Like in a bar." "You don't need to get so angry." "I am not angry." "I was about to offer him to be our photographer, at our wedding." "Would you?" " Are you getting married?" " Yes." "But he doesn't do that kind of pictures he does ads." "But this is a special thing, maybe he's interested." "I'll be honored." "Really?" "A real honor... to take your pictures on such a big day for both of you." "Truly." "See?" " Thank you." " You are welcome." " It's on me." " No." "You are getting married?" "Of course." "Tell me." "You are beautiful!" "Makes me want to cry." " Do you like it?" " Yes." " No." "Nacho!" " No!" " You can't see the bride." " A minute, please." "No!" "Go away!" "No!" "Leave!" "I cannot ask for more." "He is intelligent, sweet." "He says he wants us to travel a lot before we have kids." " He likes what I do." " He is lovely." "I always said so." "What did you see in the other?" "Speaking of him." "I bumped into him." " You did?" " Yes." "You didn't tell me." "No kidding!" "I saw him." "And I told him I was getting married in his face." "Hi, Jonathan?" "How are you?" "Fine?" "Is your Mum around?" "All my love." "Sonia." "How are you?" "Yes, it's me." "Hi." "How are you?" "Very well." "It's nice to see you!" "I told you but I want to say again..." "I am so glad you called." "To see we still understand each other." " You got that tummy again?" " No." " Yes, it looks bigger." " No." " Are you exercising?" " Not any more." "The important thing... is that 5 years of such intensity... cannot be left aside just because." "A relationship cannot be..." "You're smoking again!" " Yes, I'm smoking." " You know it's bad for you." "You know how much the kids missed you." " Really?" " Yes." "I think we have to make an effort to rebuild our relationship." "We have to spend more time together." "Get away for a week." " What?" " Nothing." "Something's going on." "No." "Nothing." "Reynaldo, why did you call me?" " I was thinking..." " What?" " No, I know." " How could you know?" "You called me... to hurt me like the last time we met." "If you hurt me, I don't care." "But this hurts Jessica and Jonathan." " No, but..." " I wont let you... hurt them too." "You understand?" "You are not good for Jessica and Jonathan!" "You hurt them!" "Don't call me again!" "Except to give me money!" " But..." " Take care!" "Take care, if you care." "Sonia." "Tatu, are you awake?" "Yes, I am awake now." " Why didn't you go?" " Because..." "Nacho went to the ranch... and I didn't feel like going on my own." "How can you skip Palermo on a day like this..." "Ta... you won't believe this." "I met a guy." " You did?" " No." "This is unique." "Just great." "Tall, brown hair, eyes, arms." "Legs that make your heart skip a beat." "Adorable." "Nature is mysterious, isn't she?" "There were thousands of well formed teens... tits and steel bodies, and he came straight to me." "And what did he say?" "He came and said:" ""Can I have a sip?" "I'm terribly thirsty."" "The sorbet almost melted." "Between sips we talked." "I fried in the sun." "We arranged to meet again." "Candle-light dinner..." "What a bugger!" "I am telling you I met the love of my life and you leave." "And how do you know he is the love of your life?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, I was late and couldn't..." "I'm late." "Good thing you waited for me." " Better late than never." " True." "How are you?" " Sherry?" " Not for me." "Why not?" "Just a small glass." " Just a sip." " You are so responsible!" "Thank you." "To tonight." "I am terribly vulnerable to sherry and boleros." "Are you?" "Every look every moment my heart beats for you." "Wait." "Wait." "I am a mental control teacher." "And if I say no, it's no." "All right." "So, a journalist during the day and class assistant at night." "You have lunch with your mother." "When will we meet?" "As of tomorrow, all noons are yours." " No, it's not necessary." " How come?" "Why not?" "It is necessary." " What I need..." " What?" " Please don't lie to me." "Don't hurt me." "I promise to love you as you are." "And I promise kisses and tickles." "No!" "So I decided not to come any more." "Too many words." "Too many words?" "You never spoke." "But I thought them." "I understand." "Besides, excuse me for what I will say, but..." "I know you shrinks, patients are never discharged." "You have us hooked on an issue... and I am in a hurry." "My life is passing." " Reynaldo." " What?" "Can you do me a favor?" "Call Pelusa... and tell her to get a taxi, my car broke down." " Look at my hands!" " Where is the number?" "Right by the phone." "Hello?" "Who's speaking?" "Pelusa!" "Who's calling?" "Berardinelli." " Ah, is that you?" " No, is she there?" "I'll go get her." "No, just tell her the car broke down... and he cannot pick her up, tell her to take a taxi." " Ok, I'll tell her." " Will you remember?" "Of course." "Thank you." "Tonight." "it's just you and me." " Where are you going this early?" " I have things to do." "Will you miss my dinner?" "We're having guests." "Say hello." "I'll be back around 6." "Really, I would like you to meet Pelusa." "She's coming with a friend, maybe you like her." "Don't do this to me." "I invited her." "I told her you'd meet her." "Sorry, but I don't want to meet anybody." "Don't get mad at me." "You don't know what you are missing." "You'll regret it." "Hi!" "How are you?" "Come in." " This is Tati." " Hi." " My best friend." " How do you do?" "How do you do?" "How are you doing?" " Come in." " Excuse me." "Excuse me, haven't we met?" " Met?" " Yes." "No." "Actually, I've never seen you before." "You know, some faces look familiar." " Please, come in." " Excuse me." "Yes, please." "Mom." "The girls just arrived." "Come, Mom." " This is Pelusa." " Pleasure to meet you." "Here, honey." "It's a recipe I found in a magazine." "I don't know if it's good." "Oh!" "No, it must have got stuck... on our way here." " We should have used..." " Never mind." "The taste is what matters, isn't it?" "Of course." "Let's try this." " Delicious." " Really?" "Delicious!" "How did you know I liked lemon pie?" "I didn't." "It's just that I like it." "Taste it, Mom." "You'll see how good it is." " I don't feel like it." " Taste it, it's delicious!" "Trust me, taste it." "The recipe is not bad." "And your friend?" "I forgot, he said he was sorry, he had things to do." "Shame." "I wanted to meet him." "The drawing artist?" "Yes, artist, photographer." "And he's alone, like all artists." "Like me." "You were alone." "Not any more." "I warn you I'll visit." "He's leaving for Mar del Plata to cover the season." "Why don't you two come over for a weekend?" "Tati can't." "She's getting married and goes to the countryside." "Oh, just like your cousin Florinda." "Remember, son?" "She had 8 kids and put on 30 kilos." "Encouraging!" "Lovely, your mom!" "She doesn't hold anything." "Come." "Let's get some coffee." "Come." " Excuse me." " Back in a minute." "The meringue was not right." "Thank you." " Reynaldo." " Benet." " How are you?" " Fine." " So?" "Do you like them?" " Son of a..." "Come, I want to show you some drawings." " Welcome, Reynaldo Fabiani." " Thank you, Benet." "Now you understand why I asked you to come." "But this is your effort." "I still haven't sold any... but two guys asked about the prices." " Really?" " Yes." " I can't stop watching you." " Hey!" "It's just I see a face like that... and it is difficult I forget." "I would love to help you." "Maybe in a previous life." "No, it was in this life, I'm sure." "Excuse me." "The toilet?" "Straight down the hall, after the third room, at the end, to the left." "Good." "You want me to lead the way?" "I'm fine." "I'll try to find my way there and back." " WHAT?" "MARRIED?" " OF COURSE." "I MUST FORGET YOU." "Welcome." " Mr. Berardinelli?" " Berardinelli." " People's journalist." " Your name, sir?" "Reynaldo." "Yes." "He's waiting for you." "Room 14F." "Aluna Tower." " Take the elevator." " Thanks." "Berardinelli, I'm here." "Did you hear me?" "I'm here." "What a mess!" "Listen, Berardinelli, can't they send another guy to help you?" "Hey?" "I saw her again!" "I wanted to die." "I felt like an idiot in the middle of the road." "She was so beautiful." "A goddess!" "Sitting by her boyfriend, a happy couple." "The way she..." "She smiled at him." "I..." "She loves him." "She loves him." "If you had seen the way she looked at him." "I notice that sort of things." "You don't know what it is to see the woman you love, the only woman you have ever loved, in the arms of another guy." "Sometimes things are not what they seem." "You should know that." "Brenda!" "Tati." "My name is Tati." "And your boyfriend?" "He deserves somebody who really loves him." "Can you make some room for me?" "Oh, my God!" "Tell me I am dreaming." "You are not dreaming." "Maybe you are." "But it is nice, isn't it?" "I promise I won't fall asleep." "Neither will I." "Just in case." "So, Reynaldo?" " Where did you get "Roy"?" " Who knows." "I don't know." "I have to confess something." "I've never been to Paris." " You haven't?" " No." "I haven't been to St. Moritz either." "Actually, I read it all in a magazine." "I promise to take you to Paris." "Or I'll draw the Eiffel Tower, I'm good at it." " So your studio is being remodelled." " Yes." "And you couldn't go to the hotel or they'd recognize you." "Of course." "Journalist." "With National Geographic." "Berardinelli organized this?" " Yes." " Son of a bitch."
