"I'll let you know." "I'd rather carry on using it for now." "You can't say I poke my nose into your affairs." "Did I say anything yesterday, when you said you'd lost 20,000 ptas?" "I thought you'd probably spent them on a prostitute." "I did think it, but I didn't say anything." "I know I'm very possessive, and very jealous." "I should give you more freedom."

"What's it called?" "It's a woman's secret." " Can I help you, miss?" " I'm in a terrible hurry." "Tell me what's wrong." "Maybe I can help." "I need to pee so badly I could die." "Really?" "Every time I enter a lift or a phone box, I need to pee." " Does it happen to you?" " Sometimes, but it's no great tragedy." "PUTON panties are made from fibres which completely absorb your urine and change their colour, as though you'd put on a new pair." "There are times when solitude is our greatest enemy." "PUTON panties, carefully rolled, acquire a consistency which, in the absence of anything better, can fulfil the role of a passionate companion." "PUTON panties FOR ALL EVENTUALITIES" "It's not because it's mine, but I love it." " It's just the way you wanted it." " Exactly." " Let's see what the client says." " I'll deal with that." " She's a bit of a dolly bird." " She's perfect for this." " But the guy couldn't be better." " True." "I loved it." "It's beautiful." "And the plants are gorgeous." "This is our audience." "It's a shame the panties don't work, since I'm constantly peeing." " Luci knows all about that." " Oh, yes!" "Bom, we should be going." "I'll come with you." "I've got an interview next door." " See you later." " Bye." "Advertising's your thing." "You think so?" "I have an interview with a capitalist." "Is it about manufacturing dolls with pussies and periods?" "If it goes well, I'll produce your record." "That would be fantastic." "The dolls are a brilliant idea." "Let's hope they think so too." "They're hard nuts to crack and I need to persuade them." " When are you going to Cuenca?" " This afternoon." " What are you doing?" " She's coming with us, of course." "I'm going home to get my clothes." "I don't know what I'll do if my husband's there." "Make a scene." "Tell him you're leaving because he raped me." "I'm annoyed we thought your brother-in-law was him." "I'm still a bit mad with him." "He's a coward." "I don't think he'll dare do anything if I say I'm leaving." " Well, my capitalist lives over there." " Good luck." "Remember to write down everything, real and imagined." "and take photos, for my story." "Don't worry." " Bye." " See you later." "Silly!" "Girl!" " Bye, Pepi!" " Come on." "I told you to stop those knitting classes or I'll tie you to the bed." "Not a bad idea, but I don't give a shit what you say." "What sort of language is that?" "What would my poor mother say?" "And another thing." "Where's the money?" "Or do you do it for free?" " I'm paying a debt of yours." " Mine?" "Yes!" "You should know that my pupil is the girl you raped." "She wanted to sell her virginity but since you ruined her plans," "I'm helping her to make jerseys so she can make money on the market." "You're crazy." "Someone's filled your head with nonsense." "Don't you realise you're a victim?" "Yes, a victim of the wave of eroticism sweeping the country." "So what?" "Eroticism?" " What have you done?" " All sorts." "I'm going on tour with Bomitoni Group." "I'm their groupie." "You're a groupie for that bunch of degenerates?" "You don't know me." "Pity I didn't get to know you earlier." "Luciana, if you go out that door, I'll bang you all up." "You'd be doing me a favour." "You've got to have fun in life and apparently, life in prison can be very lively." " I'm going to get my things." " You're not taking anything." "Fine." "It'll be a weight off my shoulders." "But isn't there any way I can force my wife to come back home?" "It's quite clear." "There's no law to stop a woman married to a policeman becoming a groupie overnight." "OK." "If you go to court, you'll have every feminist in the country on your back." "I'm sorry, but that's the way it is." "Thanks." "THE POLICEMAN ALSO KNEW HOW IT FELT" "TO BE HUNGRY FOR REVENGE" " Arrested!" " Don't shout." "I'm not deaf." "Can I ask why I'm being arrested?"

"Don't you know it's forbidden to make fun of the police?" "Don't you know that plastic plants are fashionable?" "Let's go." "They're always on the go." "They go swimming, sailing, they go to discotheques, they hardly sleep." "The usual thing for young people." "Lots of free time, and lots of wonderful energy." "Ana Lorenz, let's see now." "What about people who stay in the city?" "All the restaurants have the "Closed for Holidays" sign in the window." "It can be a big problem, can't it?" "Yes." "I think it will be less of a problem this year, because..." " Hello." "Is Luci in?" " No." "I haven't seen her for days." "She's not ill, is she?" "No, no." "She moved to Parque de Lisboa." "The new flat?" "You're confusing me with my brother." "I'm Juan." "Juan?" "I didn't realise." " Come in." " Silly me!" "How lovely." "Aren't I an idiot?" "Of course, since I'm wearing his dressing gown." "Oh, yes." "Luci didn't even say goodbye." "You know what her husband's like." "He probably wouldn't let her." "Luci and I are very good friends." "I'm very sad she's gone." " I'm not." " No?" " No." " Why?" "I'm a bachelor." "And bachelors have other needs." " Are you going to stay here?" " Yes." "Didn't Luci say anything?" "She was supposed to ask you to call me." "No." "But so what?" "I've thought a lot about you." " Really?" " Charito..." "Angel..." "Darling..." " I like you very much, you know." " No, please, no." "Afterwards, you won't respect me." "You'll say I'm like all the rest." "Look what you've done to me." "Wait a minute." "You'll see." "No, please." "You won't feel a thing." " Don't take my clothes off." " OK, I won't." "But let me feel your legs." "Even if it's only your legs." "Let me." " I've got 30 ptas." "What have you got?" " I've got 50." "Not even 100 ptas."

" Why doesn't someone come?" " Here are some girls." "Girls never give you anything." "They keep it for themselves." "Let's see if a boy comes." " Yes!" "Look!" " Here's a boy coming!" "Come here, boy." "Come here." "Can you give us some money?" "I'm going over there to have a beer." "We just need enough for a ticket." "How much have you got?" "Perfect!" "Bomitoni!" "Bomitoni!"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll do it right." "You're only playing yourselves, after all." "I'm looking forward to it." "You'll have to do what I say." "As well as being yourselves, you have to act." "What do you mean?" "You can't just go like this to the camera." "As well as being yourselves, you'll have to represent your characters, and representation is always artificial." "I don't understand." "For example, you're a forty something housewife, married to a cop..." " Are you listening to me?" " I'm putting a comb on the angel." "So, you're a housewife but you really like to party." "So you have to show that." "I've seen you being slapped and eating snot without turning a hair." "I don't know." " And you like it?" " I love it." "We have to show that."

"If we don't do it, people won't believe you're a masochist." "You know I love to obey, so I'll do whatever you say." "You just need to exaggerate a little." "And you too." "Because you're..." " You're 15." " 16." "You look much older." "But what's funny is if you look at your age, because you're a forty something policeman's wife and you're a 16- year-old punk singer." " It's itchy." " Here we go again." "You're crazy." "I know you're violent and perverted and so on, but you don't look like a sadist so much as just unfriendly." "If I'm no good, find someone else and leave me in peace." "Don't be upset." "It's supposed to be fun." "If it doesn't work it doesn't matter." "Why don't we rehearse a bit?" "Hey, Bom, hit me." "Leave me in peace." " Shall we go out?" " Let's go clubbing." "I'd rather stay here and watch TV." " Lighten up, girl." " You and I can go." " You're always up for everything." " Shall we get dressed up?" "Let's go!" "Is your brother-in-law still in the Canaries?" "I suppose so." "He called before he left but I haven't heard from him since." "Is that waiter never going to come?" "Luci..." " What?" " Get some beers." "All right." "How are you?" " Is this the guy you told me about?" " No, a different one." " We've just got married." " Really?" " Quique, Pepi." " Pleased to meet you." " He doesn't say much." " He's mute." " He's good-looking though." " True." "Enjoy yourself." "Did you see...?" "You never join in, do you?" "It's so boring in here." "Have you seen the people?" "I never get bored." "I love watching everything." " You can get blood from a stone." " A what?" "A stone!" " Are you Bom, from Bomitoni group?" " Another pain in the neck." "Don't come the star with me, twat." "She loves being recognised." "Have a drink with us." " Yeah?" " I said to bring beers." "I thought you said Coca-Cola." "I got confused." " Where are the guys from the band?" " They're on military service." " I come from the same place as Toni." " Really?" " I'm an artist, too." " What do you do?" "I'm a singer." "Not like you, a different style." "Flamenco rock." " What?" " Flamenco rock." "What's that?" "It's kind of like a ballad, but international." " Is it hard?" " Well..." "Are you working anywhere?" "Let me speak." "Are you working?" "I'm working in a bar to pay the rent, but just serving drinks." " What did she say?" " She's working in a bar." " Just serving drinks." " No one suggested anything else." "My agent's promised me a tour in the north." "Bilbao, San Sebastian, all around there." "I'll probably make a record." "I might be able to help you." "I've got an agency." " Really?" " It's mine." "Really?" "I'm a model." "You might not have the sparkle to be a model." "What do you mean?" "Look at my hair." "Think what an advert I could make with that." " Maybe..." " What?" " All right!" " Go on..." "Give me one of your cards." "Here you are, twat." "She's so refined!" "I'll call you." " Who's that?" " I don't know." "Who is it?" " She's gone." " Go and fetch her." " What shall I say?" " Whatever you like." "And buy me some fags." "I've run out." "All right." " Who's the dimwit?" " Her girlfriend." "Some laugh." " Anyway..." "I'll call you." " Sure." "I want to get out of that bar." "Those guys get the wrong idea." "I'm not old-fashioned." "They can touch my belly-button." "But that's it." " The girlfriend?" " The girlfriend." "Mine." " Anyway, I'll call you." " Of course, whatever you like." "OK." "There you are!" "I told you to wait in the theatre bar." "I'm going to lock you in my dressing-room until the performance is over." "If you escape again..." "You little devil." "What am I to do with you?" "The theatre'll throw me out." " I've got him." " Thanks." "Some friends of mine want to see you." " Me?" "What for?" " They like you." " Me?" " Yes, very much." " They're in a bar near here." " Is it nearby?" " Just here." " OK." "Let's go." " Don't hit him on the head." " If he was yours..." "You women go too far." "I wish he'd hurry and grow up." "In you go, little one..." "After you." "Here she is." "Are these your friends?" " Hello." " So?" "We were bored and we saw you dressed up like that." "Stay with us." " I'm due on stage in five minutes." " What play are you in?" " The Lady of Camellias." " Not Scarlett O'Hara?" "Are you bored?" "You look terrible!" "I'll leave my son here to entertain you and pick him up after the show." " I'm not bored." " We can have a drink and talk." " Don't leave him here." " Behave yourself." "He's a charming boy." "Look after him." "Don't worry." "Leave him here." " I want a sandwich." " Just what we need." "They don't do sandwiches." "Have a "Cuba Libre"." " OK, a "Cuba Libre"." " Child!" "Some night this has turned out to be." " Have a look, sweetie." " What now?" " And my cigarettes?" " I forgot." " Well, go and get them." " Enjoy yourself." "Out into the street again." "All right..." "Look, an artist, and the son of an artist." " What's up, kid?" " Leave me alone." " Why the hurry?" " What's it to you?" "Are you forgetting I'm a policeman?" "I could arrest you right now." " I'm scared!" "Try it." " OK." "Let me see your papers." "I haven't got any." "Under the law, if you don't have papers you can be fined 4,000 ptas." "I'll shove that law up my hole." "Really?" "Tell me that down at the station." " Why?" " To the station!" "Coward!" "A proper husband doesn't need laws to treat his wife the way he should." "You know how good I am at dealing out justice..." " ...with my hands." " You're all talk." "That's why I left you." "Really?" "You can forget all that because you're coming with me." " OK?" " Where?" "Parque de Lisboa." "No one knows us there." "You'll have to kidnap me." "What a good idea." "You'll spend the rest of your life tied to the bed." "If only you had the balls." "Shut up, you whore!" "You don't know what a whore I am, you bastard." "Tonight you'll pay for everything you've put me through." "Yes, I deserve it." " Communist!" " Fucking communist!" "Take that!" " You like it, don't you?" "Take that!" " I like it!" "I'm going to strangle you!" "She's not coming." "If she's gone back home, I'll teach her a lesson." "She's trying to provoke you." "You haven't been giving her enough recently." "Her little trick will backfire on her." "I'll come round to your house." "Fine with me." "You could move in." "I'm starving." "Let's get something to eat." "It's a bit late to eat out, but I can make you something at home." "Where has that bitch got to?" "Don't think about her anymore." "I used to like her, but recently she's been a pain in the arse." "This cod I'm making is gong to be delicious." " Have you got the water?" " Pour it in very slowly." " Will you stir it?" " Of course." " I'm so tired." " Me too, I'm dead." " I'm going to get a spoon." " And the water goes in?" "Pour it in bit by bit, not all at once." " That's the secret." " You're wonderful." "I thought you might make me an omelette or something, but cod with chillies and garlic, my favourite dish..." "I'm really hungry too." "I can't stop thinking about how Luci left me standing there." "She's got more of a hold on you than you think." "It's not that." "With masochists, you never know what to expect." "She's probably having a great time suffering because I'm not at home yet." "I've told you, she's not right for you." "And you know it." " I've got used to her." " That's the problem." "In bed... it's incredible." "That's what I don't get." "She looks like a mosquito, but..." "That's got nothing to do with it." "If you didn't have such weird tastes, you'd soon find a replacement." "My tastes change as time goes by." "When I was small, I used to like women of over 50." "Last year, I was into forty somethings." "And now I wouldn't say no to a woman of 35." "If you go on like that, next year you'll be into 10-year-olds." "Talking about replacements, if I leave Luci what will you do about the film?" "I doubt that'll happen, but I'll replace her." "I don't think she was an actress." "Have you thought about the end of the film?" " Well..." " Tell me." "You and Luci got married, both in white, and I had a child by the policeman." "You come and see me at the hospital and I give you the baby, because you've set up home together." "What an imagination you have." "I had to have something." "But I don't know." "I'd like something more realistic." "Anyway, I'm waiting to see what happens between you two." "How can we be such good friends, and yet so different?" "I never wonder about things like that." "Give me a kiss." " Look out." " I'll spill it." " Are you embarrassed?" " That's why it was a quick one." " I'll clean it for you later." " Clean it now." "No, later." "This transvestite's been all around Europe." " He's a star." " Something like that..." ""I'm a hermaphrodite." "I was born with both sexes."" "I'm just the same." "I'm bored and feel like going out." " I'll be there in an hour and a half." " That sounds great." "Someone's at the door." "I'm going to see if it's Luci." "Your favourite Avon lady's here." "The sales lady with spunk, all my clients are hunks." "Well, hello, Francisco." "I'm never so greedy for a woman of breeding!" "Let's see, how are we doing?" "Some place you've got." " What have you brought?" " The very best in cosmetics." "It's the best." "Look what I've got." "A face mask made from mixed vegetables, it's scandalous." "What else have I got?" "The best cocaine, heroin and acid." " It's not Luci." " Who is it?" "Roxy, speeding as usual, with cocaine for the boys." "Ask her to keep me a gram." "I don't even want to speak to her." "They're getting on my tits." "I wish they'd leave me in peace." "I'll have to move out." " You have to stop being depressed." " I'm worried about Luci." "It's been two days." "I haven't heard from her." " She'll have found someone." " I wouldn't be surprised." "All we shared recently was a packet of fags." "But she could have called me." "the doorbell." "This time it'll be Luci." "I'll have such a go at her!" "A uniform!" "Come in, darling!" "How are you?" "I'm a Cinderella at heart." "An ordinary woman." "Who's this woman?" "Wait, where should I start?" " Can you sign, please?" " I'll sign for you right now." " Thank you." " Signed and sealed." "Don't you have a little teleprinter somewhere?" "It's a telegram from Luci." "Wait, I'll read it." ""I'm well." "I'm in hospital." "Come and see me." "Luci."" "Something horrible must have happened." "Don't worry, I'm coming over" "No, don't." "I have to go and see her at once." "Wait, I'll be there in half an hour." " All right." " Keep calm." "But hurry, please." "Shit." " Stay with me." " I'm on duty." "Please, don't go!" " Please, don't go!" " I'll call the police." " I need you" " Señorita!" "Come here, come inside." "Come on, come and sit down." "No, please, no." "What's he like?" "What am I like?" "Try this new schizophrenic pussy." "Schizophrenic pussy." "Try it, darling." "It's amphetamines, try it, baby." "Luci, you've got so many medicines." " Have you taken any today?" " None." "Shall I help you to take a tranquilliser?" "No." "Leave it." "But you haven't taken any at all." "I don't want to make a habit of taking pills." "I'd rather be in pain." "She's so long-suffering." "See what they've done to her and she hasn't said a word." "But you were very lucky, Luci." " At least they didn't rape you." " No, that's true." "If that ever happens to me, they can hit me as much as they want, I don't care, as long as they don't rape me." "Imagine, you spend your life keeping men at bay, which isn't easy, and then some yobs come along and it's all for nothing." "What a joke." "It just shows the state this country is in." "No one cares what happens to an honest woman walking down the street." "Have you told the police?" "No." "Unfortunately, Luci didn't see the faces of any of the attackers." "No?" " I'd better go." " Of course." "If Juan comes, remember to tell him I was asking after him." "I haven't seen him for a few days." "Goodbye, Luci." "Look after yourself." " Thanks for coming to see me." " The stitches won't leave a scar." "Bye." "Don't forget to tell Juan." "She's so innocent." "She was born a fool." "It was bad of you to take advantage of her while I was away." "I didn't think you were such a bastard." "I was worried in case she met the others here." "Did you put the right address on the telegram?" "Yes, don't worry." "This must be them." "Luci, what's happened to you?" "Nothing." "You can see." "What do you mean, nothing?" "You look like a mummy." "My husband." "He kidnapped me and took me to our new flat to persuade me..." "Tell him to go." "We want to talk to you in private." "In your dreams, little girl." "Call me that again, and I'll scratch your eyes out." "You should leave." "You won't like what we have to say." "Don't worry." "I'm sick of dealing with sluts." " Tell him to go." " I can't." "He's a monster." "You seem dazed." "I think the beating has affected your head." " what's wrong?" "You seem different." " Nothing's wrong." "You don't know me well enough yet." "Don't push me, or I'll get mad." "Keep calm." "I'm much more of a slut than you think." "And you're not as evil as you think you are." "You couldn't give me what I deserved." "Lately you'd been treating me like your maid." "I'm not complaining, but I think I deserved something much worse." "But look..." "He nearly killed me." "You hear her, little girl." "There's nothing you can do." "Choose between him and me." "This is your last chance." "When I married him, I'd already made that choice." "Don't trust him, he'll go back to treating you like his mother." "He hates me with all his soul, and he can't forgive me for what I've done to him these last months." "I'd be crazy to pass up an opportunity like this." " Stupid!" " Quiet, this is a hospital." " Let's go." " Anyway..." "I want to thank you for everything you've done for me." "Save your thanks." "If it weren't for you, he'd never treat me like this." " Be quiet, you've said enough." " Let's go." " This is beginning to stink." " Thanks for the presents." "No problem." "I'll be coming round to get my wife's things." "You can collect them tonight, from the rubbish bin." "That's the end of it." "What fucks me off is seeing that policeman laughing at us." "Forget about it." "They deserve each other." " What will you do now?" " I don't know." "I feel disorientated." "Why don't you leave those painters like you were saying, and move in with me?" " Are you serious?" " Of course." "I'm a girl living alone." "I need someone to protect me." "With your boxing, you could be my bodyguard." "I'd be delighted to protect you." "Let's get your things right now." "You're an angel." "What's wrong now?" "Come on, cheer up!" "If I move in with you I'm not going to sponge off you." "I can't have a woman supporting me." " I need to get money from somewhere." " You've got your music." "Music?" "I don't have a band anymore, they've all left." "I've got nothing." "Pop's gone out of fashion." "I need a different style, I don't know what." "I've already thought of that." "Why not sing boleros?" " Boleros?" " Yes." " Like Olga Guillot?" " Exactly!" " I'd love to." " That's decided then." "Do you think I can do it?" "You've got soul, and that's what's important." "I'll take care of the rest and choose the songs for you." "So many changes in just one day." "Yes..." "Cheer up." "A new life is opening up before you." "And for you, too." "I hope so."
