"# Today I'll be able... # along with you, # to recall... # our yesterdays... (Spain, may break all records this year for the number of tourists...)" "Why can't we go to the beach?" "They all go except us." "You do say some silly things!" "They don't all go, only those who can." "Carlos is right, we could go for a couple of weeks." "I'd settle for just one." "Do you think we're millionaires?" " Are these foreigners millionaires?" " Some are, yes." "The fact is that they make a much better living." "When they come, it works out quite cheap for them, because of the exchange rate." "If they come to our beaches, why don't we go to theirs?" "Because they have money and we don't." "They may have money, but no shame." "Look at them, half naked." " What if they do go in the buff." " They show everything, and the husbands do nothing." "They flaunt everything, and they, huh, so quiet." "My God, what a sight." "Some of them look good in bikini's." " I think they look great." " Me too!" "(Now we go to the Caribbean or China, just like that.)" "(And we take a plane as if it was the metro,)" "(but then we couldn't move from home.)" "(We had never seen the sea, and that Summer of '68, didn't either.)" "(Every year more foreigners came to Spain,)" "(and our beaches were full of British, German and Swedish)." "(And while they enjoyed our country,)" "(we had to stay home sweating.)" "# This summer I want to find... # only love and the sea..." "along with..." " I can't do it with this guitar." " Are you sure they'll like this song?" "Sure, foreign girls believe that we're all matadors and singers." " How do you know?" " I know." "Javi told me he was in..." " Mallorca." "No, in Benidorm." "It's crowded with tourists there." "But you don't like bullfighting and you can't sing." "The foreigners don't know about bullfighting or music." "Yeah, but to find foreigners you have to go to the beach." " They're here too." " I haven't seen any in our neighborhood." "In the city center, kid." "The museums are full of them." " All tall, blond, and available." " What's available?" "Come on, go to bed." "# This summer I want to find... # only love and sea by your side." "# I have the sun and sea already on the beach," "# I only need to win your love." "# Only love and sea, that's all I ask..." "# Only love and the sea, you with me." "# It may seem very little to you, love me and you'll see it's plenty to me." "For Pete's sake." "Enough with the sea, love and the sun..." "Aren't they going to shut up?" "It's after midnight." "Let them be, they've finished school now." "Oh, Antonio." "How about going on holiday to the beach?" " How are we going to go to the beach?" " With overtime." "One week." "We'll get cheap accommodation and just go." "It's just that we've never been to the sea, not even Benidorm." "Do you know what a weeks holiday costs?" "It's just not possible." "By next year, if things go better we'll go, but I don't think we can do it now." " Oh yes we can." "This month we'll get double overtime for July 18, and I've still to get payment for the last batch of pants." "Can't you see it's not possible?" "We have the payments on the house, installments on the TV, and if Toni passes the exam, the university entrance fee." "When you can't, you can't." "You're right." "I'd just really like to..." "To eat a paella without having to make it myself." "To sit on a terrace sipping vermouth, and go in the water, most of all, the sea." " But, Merche, you can't swim." " Well, I'll go in up to my waist then." "If I'd listened to my brother... when he told me to go and work in France, we wouldn't be this way." "You with the pants and me working non-stop to make ends meet." "And what would we have done, if you'd left?" " Look at my brother who already has a car." " But you don't know how to drive, "fool"." "I can learn, woman." "When my brother comes, I'll talk to him." "To find me something good in Paris." "Sure, to Paris we'll go." "No way, no, no, no way." "Well, if there's no Paris, there's no Benidorm." " To the union holiday park as usual." " To the swimming pool?" "Yes, the pool, which is very nice." "I know it's not Benidorm, but it's something." " Did you do the lottery?" " Of course." "Can you imagine if we won 30 million like Gabino?" "Hey, if we win, we'll win 60, because I've done the multiple." "Well, what would "la señora" do with 60 million?" " Me?" " Yes." "Buy a plane ticket to Benidorm." "Yes, and don't look at me like that." "I really want to ride in one." "And see everything from the sky." "I don't know about Benidorm, but get on a plane and see it all from above... that, sure." "Merche, if he plays that song again..." "I'm going to wrap that guitar around his head." "The other day I found a starfish on the beach that was alive." "I've got it in a jar of water, I gave it some bread, but it won't eat it." "It's not dead, because if I prick it with a pin it moves." "Well, goodbye, Josete." " How blue the water is!" " Man, that's the sea." " Hopefully he'll bring the starfish, we could tame it." " Maybe." " What's it like, inside the sea?" " Full of submarines, like in the movies." "Why would there be submarines, if there's no war anymore." "Then full of whales and octopuses and foreign women wanting to do it." " Wanting to do what?" " Come on, you haven't any idea." "Come on, it's your turn." "Are you playing or not?" " Hurry, come on." " Are you playing!" "Look, come on." "Wow!" " What does it say here?" " I don't know." " What a tit." "Why doesn't she cover it?" " Because she's foreign." "Abroad they all show them." "Well, at least one." " I don't believe it." " I've read it, they always go with one bare." " So, where did you read that?" " I don't know, I don't remember." "What a liar you are." "And why only cover one?" "Because... because... because foreigners don't believe in God." "Come on, let's find the missing piece of the page." " Hey, it's your dad." " Hello." "Hello, Dad." "How strange that you're not playing in the truck." "What are you doing?" " Nothing, a tit, I mean a finish line." " A finish line for the end of the cycle race." "Ah, you're playing bottle caps." "I liked playing bottle caps." "Do you have one?" " Yes, here." "Felipe or..." "No, Ocaña." "(Luis Ocaña - cycling champion)" "Clean it." "I'll put it here and I'll shoot the cap around the bend... with a special move called the Alcantara effect." "And one, and two, and... three." " Let's go eat.." " It's early, it's not lunch until two thirty." "Well, 10 minutes more and then home otherwise your mother will get annoyed." "Shall we have another look?" "Come on, let's go." "(We could have looked at that picture for ages.)" "(Sure, now you even see tits in the parish bulletin,)" "(but at that time seeing a breast seemed like a miracle to us,)" "(a dream, something unattainable.)" " Close the shop." " Okay." " How much is this?" " 250." " And this?" " 300, it's terylene." " I love it." " Like Concha Velasco wore in her last film." "If I bought myself one like that, my boyfriend would have a fit." "That's what happens if you go with a boyfriend like that." "Jesús is good person." " Do you have it in my size?" " I think so." "Try this." " I like them all." " Me too." " Well try on the ones you like best." " The fact is my my boyfriend's coming." "Well, take them home, you can try them and we'll speak on Monday." " It's just that they're expensive." " You can pay me bit by bit." " He wouldn't allow me to wear one." " Hey, this isn't the middle ages." " You don't know him." " Many women wear them now." " Foreign women, not those from here." " What about me then." "Women here are getting smart, too." "Right?" " Else we're doomed." " Yes, but..." "They're very comfortable, it's like you're not wearing anything." "If I wore one of these my boyfriend would have a fit." "Well, how do I look?" " Amazing, Nevis." " You're beautiful." "Right, I'll take it." "Can I take these two and we'll speak on Monday?" "Sure, whatever you want." "Inés, are you ready?" "Look, Rod Hudson is here." " Nieves, I'm going, see you Monday." " See you Monday, Inés." " We'll talk then." "Very good." "Goodbye." "(From Costa Brava to Costa Del Sol,)" "(the tide of vacationers extends.)" "(Cities, campsites, fishing villages and beaches are crowded...)" "Look." "They're in their bras." "It's not a bra, it's a bikini." "To me, they're bras and panties." " Any day they'll go topless." " Don't exaggerate." "Who's exaggerating?" "Look, look." "And this obsession that's seized them all to go to the beach." "Where do they get the money?" " I'd like to go too." "But we don't have enough money, mother." "We'll see about next Summer." "But if you're here it's fine by the fan." "I reckon I have a dislike for such devices, but they bring such a breeze..." "That's enough, I'm going to prepare dinner." "(Spain is an open country, where foreigners are in their environment.)" "Just what I was saying, when you least expect it, all butt naked." "It's dreadful." "Now they even steal the crowns from statues of the Virgin Mary." " They've stolen from a Virgin?" " Yes." "whatever next!" "It's full of "crooks", someone just slipped out without paying for the squid." " Who has stolen the crown?" " Some separatists." "Don't believe everything you read in the papers, I never buy them." "You have to buy newspapers, magazines, comics, you have to buy culture." "No, I don't." "Because you settle for reading feet." "The feet are the mirror of the soul." " Shall I continue reading or not?" " What an obsession with reading aloud." "The crown of Our Lady of Rea was stolen from the sacristy..." "That's what happens for failing to lock up the sacristy, you can't trust anyone." "Me, when I close my business..." "What business?" "You mean your little kiosk." "Business." "Isn't a magazine and comic store a business?" "And what about chiropodists?" "What would the world be without chiropodists?" "You're always the same." "I use a padlock that not even a gypsy could get through." " Shall I continue reading?" " Read." "Just a moment." "The world can do without chiropodists and nothing happens, but without comics, there would be no sci-fi stuff." "Come on, man!" "Cut out the chatter." "Are you going to drink?" "Yes, same again." " Shall I continue?" " Yes, go on." "It's believed that the sacrilege was committed by members... of the terrorist group ETA..." " Hey, wait a minute." "This ETA, what is it?" "Well a group that wants to...!" "I'm not reading anymore, you read it." "As soon as Franco dies, you'll see the mess we'll be in." " In that I agree with you." " Much order and peace, but when the Commander dies, the violence will return." " Shhh, quiet." " Lower the tone." "Violence, worse than war." " Say what you like, but say it softly." " The walls have ears." "Do you think he'll never die?" "We've all gotta go some time." "When he dies nobody here will go unharmed." "And you, take care, the first they go for are the plumbers and chiropodists." "Cervan, the day that the Commander dies!" "What are you going to do?" "Are you going to go to the villages?" "In the villages they don't read comics." "Of course they read, Captain Thunder, the Valiant." "What do you think, that there's no culture in the villages?" "Of course there is." " Hello." " Hi, Antonio." " Have you paid the lottery?" " Oh, I forgot." "Here's 20 Duros." "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." "What's up with him?" " What time is it?" " I don't know." " I have to go." " Shall we look at her again?" " I have to be home at 9:30." " And me." "Hey!" "What time is it?" " Twenty-five past nine." " Thank you." "We still have 5 minutes, let's have another look." " Do you think it could be a mortal sin?" " If there were 2 of them, yes." "But since there's only one I think it's only a lesser sin." "Maybe we should confess." "Tell Don Venancio, Are you crazy?" "I won't tell him." "I have to go now, otherwise my mom will come looking for me." " I'll keep it today and you tomorrow, eh?" " Okay." "# It's very late for you, my friend." "# I'd like to be like this my whole life." "# But you have to return because it's already beginning to get dark." " Inés, I have a surprise for you." " Yes?" "And what is it?" "15.554." "We have 15,554 pts in the account." "Well that's good." "In two years we'll have the down payment for the flat, so prepare the trousseau." "Oh, the trousseau." "Forget it." "Well, my Grandma has embroidered me one, not the one you know, but the one from my parents village." "But there's my cousin, too." " And for whom is it going to be?" " For the first to get married." " Then it'll be for us." "You'll see, we'll get married first." "Inés, I didn't tell you, they've raised my salary, 200 pesetas a month." "Didn't I tell you I had a future working for Preciados Galleries?" "And is that all you have to say?" "No, not quite." "If we manage our affairs, we can save 5,000 pesetas a year." "Do you know what that means?" " What?" "It means 50,000 pesetas in 10 years." "Do you realize?" "Maybe in 10 years I'll be dead, that's what I realise." "No, you're going to die Look, 50,000 plus those 15,554, makes... 65,554, Jesús, 65,554 pesetas." "What have I said?" "what's wrong?" "Nothing, it's just that..." "it makes me angry, I'd like..." "I would like to spend that money with you, all at once." " Spend 15.554 pts. now?" " Yes." " All right, on what?" " Going away to Benidorm, you and me, alone." "You and me, alone." "You're crazy, stark-crazy." " Why am I crazy?" " Because your father would kill me." "He doesn't have to find out, I won't tell my mother either." "And how do you want to go to the hotel?" "Because without the family papers they won't let us." "Do you want to go or not?" "Come on, it would be like a honeymoon." "What honeymoon?" "Since we're not even married!" "You seem silly, really." "And do you know what I say?" "that foreign couples don't marry, they get together and that's it." "Well, that's abroad, but here things are still done... well, as God intended." "Perhaps you're right." "Sometimes I talk a lot of nonsense, right?" "Well, let's go, it's getting late." "(Everything was foreseen except the downpour...) (which greeted Patricia Ana, at the airport...)" "How is it that the 2 millionth tourist is so tall and beautiful?" " Coincidence." " Coincidence?" " They're not going show a short ugly guy." " That's true." " But she's dressed." " How do you want that she goes, son?" "Carlos is right, they come here to get naked and we give them flowers." "Are you okay?" "Shouldn't I be?" "What about the girl?" "Each day she comes later." "She'll be back soon." "She's probably nearby with her boyfriend." "Are you sure you're okay?" " Yes." "This isn't the time to be out, they'll have closed the front door." "She's spent the week working, let her enjoy herself." "These are no proper hours for a girl to be on the street." "The world is upside down." "Here she is." "Spain is full of foreigners and from them, they pick up the same tricks." " Grandma, don't be so silly." " It's not silly, she's right, the same tricks." " Daughter?" " Yes, yes." " Are you asleep?" " No, no." " You know I don't like you to lock your door." " Yeah, yeah." " How was the movie?" " In the end we didn't go." "We took a walk." "Did you ask Jesús if he's coming tomorrow to the Union Park?" " Yes, he'll come in the afternoon." " Very good." "Ah, I got paid." " Here." " Thank you." "Go to bed." " Mom." " What?" "Nothing, close the door." "Come in." " What?" " Come in." " What is it?" " I want to show you something." " What?" " But..." "Promise me you won't get angry or tell Dad." "Daughter..." "Show me now!" "Look." "Do you like it?" "Oh, my God." "Yes or no?" "Turn around." "Well, do you like it or not?" "I don't know." "You're beautiful." "Son, stop playing, you'll wake your brother." "You couldn't wake him with a bomb." "Mom, I'm going to save for a guitar, this one is very bad." "You'll buy it in due time." "Son, do you know anything about your marks?" "Do you think you've passed?" "Sure, on Monday I'll see if they're out yet." "Oh, my Tony, I can hardly believe it." "My boy at university." "Don't look at me like that, I still don't know if I've passed." "You're sure to have passed, I've already lit a candle to Saint Rita." " You did?" " Sure." "Come on, go to bed." "See you tomorrow." " Can't you sleep?" " I'm not sleepy." " Are you sure you're okay?" " I'm fine." "Well it doesn't seem like it." "You're not there." "Hey, Antonio." " What?" " Would you like me to wear a bikini?" " A what?" "A bikini." "One of those 2 piece swimsuits." "I know what it is." "How are you going to wear a bikini?" " What, am I too old to wear a bikini?" " I didn't say that." " So what are you saying?" " What happens if a neighbour sees you?" " What do I care?" " Well I do." " Lots of people wear them." " Oh yes?" "I haven't seen anyone in the neighbourhood with one." "So, you think it's okay for foreigners to wear them but not us." "Because you certainly like watching those blonds in bikinis on TV." " Like it my foot!" " Sure, you don't even glance at them." "Turn off the light." "Merche." "What?" " It's just that something happened to me." " Tell me about it tomorrow." " No, Merche, it has to be now." " Why." "What is it?" "What happened to you?" " My head is a mess." " As I suspected, it shows." "What's happened?" "Is it something at print shop?" "You've been sacked, is that it?" "Oh, Antonio." "And what's this?" "I found it in the toilet, at Tinín's bar." " My God, and whose is it?" " Well I don't know." "I've looked to see if there's some ID, a card or address or something, but nothing, just money." " There's a lot of cash here." "It was lying there." "I found it as if someone had just lost it." " How much is there?" " I haven't counted, but at least a 100." "I've looked at the papers, to see if it says anything, but nothing." " If they've lost it today, they won't say anything until tomorrow." " Or not." "Can you imagine if the owner doesn't appear?" "Maybe it's a rich man who doesn't need the money." "How many rich men have you seen in Tinín's bar?" "I mean one of those who has a lot of money hidden at home... that doesn't want anyone to know." "Could we keep it?" "You've ruined it, idiot." "(Help, Carlitos, save me!" ")" "Carlos, what are you burning?" " Carlos!" " What's up?" " What are you burning?" " I was sleeping." " Tell me what you've burned!" " A piece of paper." "Are you crazy?" "Do you want to set the place on fire?" "If you burn anything again you're in for it." "And don't ever take my lighter again." " Tony." " What?" " Why do foreign women always have a bare breast." " What?" " Nothing, nothing, never mind." " You're out of your mind." "(Of course, I was out of my mind, I had just seen my first breast...) (and I was between a rock and a hard place, or rather,)" "(between heaven and hell.)" "(On the one hand it seemed a miracle and on the other a sin,)" "(although only a venial sin, but it might stop one going to heaven)." "Let us pray." "May the blessing of almighty God, Son and Holy Spirit descend upon you." "You can go in peace." " Thanks be to God." "Just a moment!" "Sit down, I have something to tell you." "I want to speak to you about the needs of this church, which is the house of God our Lord." "And also the home of all of you." "With your donations they've managed to repair the damage, we already have no leaks, thanks to God." " You'll see, he'll ask for more money." " I can see." "You cannot imagine what everything costs." "Quiet, Cervantes." "Where are you going?" "Don Venancio, I have to sell newspapers." "Wait." "What's the rush?" "How can I not be in a hurry." "If I don't sell the newspapers I must eat them." "And you will sell them, you have all day to sell them." "Already he's gotten into other expenses." "I know him only too well." "Really, I can't stay any longer." "Newspapers are like paellas, if they don't sell they're past it, I'll be on my way." "Forget about paella, Cervan, don't mess around." "And sit a moment." "Well, I'll sit down." "But I warn you I don't have any money, and that forewarned is forearmed." "You be quiet!" "I was going to say something." "How would you like if the Church had a place... for pensioners with television?" "Excuse me, Don Venancio, but if they go to watch TV at church, who will go to the pub?" "Not even God!" "Tinín!" "Don't mix apples with oranges, and don't blaspheme." "Sit down." "Do you know what this is?" "A budget." "Take it to Cervantes so he can read it." "I'll read what you want, but I won't give money I don't have." "Shut up, sinner." "You only think about spending it all on women." "What women?" "What am I spending on women?" "I only wish I did." "Read!" "6 tables and 24 chairs, 11,000 pesetas." "A heater, 997." "A coffeemaker, 284." " Continue, Antonio." " No, Don Venancio, Cervan's doing very well." "Antonio, don't contradict me." "Read." "50 plastic glasses, 310 pesetas." " Can I leave yet?" " No!" "Continue reading." " A television, 12,050 pesetas." "Total, 24,641 pesetas." " That it, 24,641." "Don Venancio, I've already given 5 Duros." "Don't be so stingy, you're going to be the richest man in the cemetery." "Now, Luis is going to pass the alms box again." "Go ahead." "Afterwards, I'll go to the bar and see if anyone's lost a wallet." " Are you sure?" " Yes" "Don't be late, as soon as you return we'll leave." "You dropped your paper, what is it?" " Nothing." " What do you mean nothing?" "What have you got?" "The card of Saint Rita, advocate of the impossible." "To help Don Venancio find the money." "(With pain in my heart I had gotten rid of that breast.)" "(And although I was reassured to know that I'd be able to sleep without nightmares,)" "(I knew that for a long time I wouldn't see anything so beautiful.)" "(But what worried me was how Don Venancio would react...) (on finding the diabolical bosom of that blonde.)" "Where did this come from?" "Don't look, you!" "Who put this here...?" "Who put this?" "I don't know, Don Venancio." "I swear I don't know who put that tit in..." "Who was it?" " Hello, Tino." " What will it be?" " Give me an vermouth." " With gin?" "Yes, but just a pinch." " Hey, Tino, any news?" " None." "Manolo, he won the lottery again, that's 2 weeks in a row." " And besides the lottery?" " Hey, I already told you nothing new." "Well, I was just asking." " Why don't you come?" " No, it's too crowded." "You spend your life at home." "The air will do you good." "No, I'm better off at home." " Mom." " Yes?" " I'm going to wear the bikini." " No way." " Yes." " And Dad?" " Maybe he won't say anything." " You really believe that?" "Carlos, Carlos, Carlos!" "What's up?" " Can Carlos come out?" " He's not here." " Where is he?" " I thought he was with you." "Look on the waste ground Are you coming to the pool?" "Sure." "Then go and fetch him!" "And don't be late, we're leaving directly." " Okay" "If you put it on, I don't want to know anything." " I've been really looking forward to it." " You'll ruin my day." " What are you whispering about?" " Nothing, mother, we're talking about swimsuits." "Julio Jiménez leaves his pursuers behind and goes toward the line..." "Hey, Don Venancio sent for you!" "You messed up, he has the picture!" " Have you ratted." "You're a snitch." " He was going to tell my father." "Why did you put it in the collection box?" " Because my Grandma saw I had it." " We're in a pile of trouble." " I'm not going." "You have to go!" "otherwise, he'll come to your house." " You always have to tattle." " I didn't rat, I didn't know what to say." " He's sure to be taking confession now." " So what?" "We'll enter the sacristy, take the photo and burn it... and he can't tell our parents." " Come on, let's go." " The fact is that I've become disgusted by him." " Why are you disgusted by your husband?" "If you were married to him you would see." "I'm not married, and certainly not to your husband." "No what I mean is..." "Sure, sure." "You must love your husband and respect him." "Remember the promise you made to God." " But no one can stand him." " Yours is the sin of pride." "Of pride?" "How can you say that!" "I absolve you of your sins in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "One rosary." " I haven't finished." " Two rosaries." " I still have one last sin." " 3 rosaries." " Maybe he's put it away." " Where would he put a picture of a tit... while she confesses, it has to be here somewhere." "Here it is." "What do you seek?" "Scoundrels!" "# The beach was deserted, the sun was bathing your skin." "# Singing with my guitar for you, Maria Isabel." "Are we going to Benidorm?" "Antonio, with 102,000 pesetas, tell me now." " I only wish I could." " To who are we going to return the wallet?" "But this wallet may belong to someone who needs it." "So where is he?" "Now where is he?" "I'll give it back." "Don't you see what's happened?" "This is like a miracle." "Miracle or no miracle, that wallet has to belong to someone." "With such a fortune, so why does't he claim it?" "I don't get it." " You're right." "Seen this way." " Sure." "Maybe that wallet has been there for more than 6 months." "With how filthy they are, they never cleaned." " See?" "It could have been there since God knows when." "You know what we'll do tomorrow?" " What?" "We'll buy train tickets, and a washing machine." " A guitar for Tony?" " And a suit for you and one for me." "And shoes for everyone." "Oh, and we'll buy something for my mother." "I thought that we could leave something in the church, I don't know, 10,000?" "No, 10,000 is a lot." "A thousand Duros is more than okay." "Well then, 5,000." "We'll put it in the collection box and nobody will realize." "Can you imagine Don Venancio's face when he opens the collection box?" "He's going to think it's a miracle." " Do your parents kiss each other?" " Yes, sometimes." "Mine never do." "Luckily Don Venancio didn't inform on us." "Yeah, but we'll have to clean the church all Summer." " She's hot, right?" " Not bad, but I preferred the picture." " And me." " When I grow up I want to live abroad." "And me." "Around here, they never show anything." "Hello." "Good afternoon." "The handsome one is here!" "Sit down." " We thought you weren't coming." " The bus took a long time." " Is Inés around?" " She was here a moment ago." "She's gone to the bar." "What are you doing with that swimsuit?" "Put on the bikini." "I don't know if I dare." "My father will scold me and Jesús..." " But if we're all wearing them." " You're the only one in the neighborhood." " Yes?" "and Amparo, and Conchi?" "Yes, but those..." " And Tere?" " Well Tere is of their kind, too." "Do you know what I say?" "You do whatever you want." " Well, it looks like the warm weather's here." " Yes, it seems like August." "[Changing room]" "Hot!" " How are your parents?" " Fine." "Hello." "But..." "But, Inés, what are you doing?" "There's going to be trouble." "(And trouble we had!" "Well, it wasn't but a heated argument.)" "(Jesús defended his dignity as a fiancé, however my father,)" "(we thought he was going to get mad but it turned out all right.)" "(My sister, though she didn't know it, was defending women's rights.)" "(I admit that I wasn't happy with it, but gradually we got used to it,)" "(except my Grandma, because for her, wearing a bikini...) (was to go in panties and bra.)" " And now the girl's without a boyfriend." " They made up right away." "We won't marry her, I tell you that we won't marry her." "Going in underwear to the pool, who's going to marry her?" " It's not as bad as all that!" " And your husband's displeasure?" "He didn't even get angry." "If I wore it he'd get upset, but not with Inés." " I don't know what the leader would think." " What has this to do with Franco?" "Because he brings the foreigners in the buff, and those here, on seeing them, start undressing." "I told you that nothing would happen." "Well, you didn't see what a fit Jesús had." "Then he said that I could only wear it when I was with him." " He's not so dumb then." " And my father didn't say anything." "Well your father's not so old-fashioned." "I hope it's Nicolás." "The girls go down the street naked." " What do they leave for when they marry?" " What has one thing to do with the other?" "Oh, the phone!" "Yes?" "Oh, hi dear." "No, we don't know anything yet." "Yes, I'll call you when I know something." "See you later." " Was that Tony?" " No, Antonio." "What if they failed him?" " Tony is very smart, why would they fail him." " So why doesn't he call?" "Because he'll be celebrating." "He'll call." " Are you still going to buy the washer?" " Yes, Mother." " Do you know what it costs?" " Yes, but I don't have time for anything." "Well, I had two children, a husband, worked in the field... and when I got home I made dinner and washed, and I didn't complain." "Besides the washing machine, now, off to the beach, more money." "As the song goes:" "Living life at full throttle is better." "Have you won the lottery?" " No, we just manage well." "Don't say anything, the children don't know about it." "No, I won't say anything." "my lips are sealed." "What I'm saying is that men are like that." "As it's easy to find one to go out with." "I broke up with Fermín, and I'm quite content." "You have to find a millionaire." "Well, you tell me how we find one in this neighborhood." "Yes, because around here, no one's got a penny." "And if he has, they take it from you." "Look at Teresa's husband." " Who?" " Teresa, her from 22." "Don't you hear about anything?" "Why do you want to go away on holiday?" "To stroll, to bathe, to rest." "I won't step in the kitchen." "I'll spend 15 days eating in restaurants." " We've never gone on holiday." " Now everyone goes." "Where the crowd goes, Vicente follows!" "You're like sheep." "Yes?" "It's Tony!" "Son!" "Really?" "Are you sure?" "Quite sure, Mom, with an 8." "I've come to the school to learn when I have to enroll." "What are those cries?" "Freedom!" "Freedom...." "Tony, can you hear me?" "Is it true that you got a merit?" " Yes, Mom, an 8." "Congratulations, son!" "Now I'll call your father to tell him." "Come on, come home quickly." "Goodbye." "Mother, he's passed!" "Isn't he coming?" "At least he could call." "Is Tony coming, or not?" "I'm late, I can't even eat." " Antonio, don't make me nervous." " Calm down." "It's strange that today of all days he's late." " Hello." " Hello." " Hasn't he arrived?" " He's coming." " He'll be out there with his friends." " Did you bring the eclairs?" "Eclairs, cream cakes, I brought everything." " Hands off the cakes." " Here he is." "Son!" " What happened to you?" " Damn, what an eye you have." " The cops, it's a miracle they didn't kill me." " Antonio!" " Something you've done." " Grandma, I haven't done anything!" "I was speaking with Mom on the phone and people started to run... and the mounted cops started beating us." "Son, what's happened to you?" "They almost killed me even though I had nothing to do with it." " Who?" " The cops." "What bastards." "(I had heard many times what it meant for us...) (that Tony was going to university, as to seeing him so beaten,)" "(I thought the university was a place full of excitement and danger,)" "(where students, in addition to studying, spend hours...) (fleeing the gray guards who, at every opportunity...) (took their batons and sunk it into the ribs...) (of those who dared to say what they thought.)" "Are you going to give some to the squirt?" "Don't overdo it." "To you too." "Your father wants to say a few words." "I just wanted to say that we celebrate that Tony will be going to University." "You don't know what it means for your mother and me." "And we're very proud of you." "And don't get into trouble." "Listen to your father." "Don't get into trouble." "Look what they did to your eye." "Grandma, I did nothing, I was talking with Mom and got caught up in it." "But do as I say, else they'll dislike you and..." "Mother, he hasn't been at fault, he just found himself in the middle of everything." "Yeah, but Grandma is right." "So study." "And if you come across any fuss, get youself out of there." "But don't dare to get in trouble." "Now give me a hug, we're very proud of you." " Aaah." " Don't exaggerate." " That hurts." "Let's have a toast." "To the first Alcantara to go to university, to Mr. lawyer." " I haven't even started yet." " To Tony!" "Hey, just wet your lips." " Well, do we tell them about the other?" " Tell them." "Well... we're going to Benidorm!" " What?" " To the beach?" " We're really going." "2 weeks holiday!" "This afternoon I'll get the tickets." "So, what do you think?" "Tell them about the washing machine, since we're not sparing expense." " Herminia." " We'll also buy a washing machine" " What about a car?" " Yes, and a villa as well." " Can Luis come to Benidorm?" " No." "I'm going to get bored." "I won't know anyone there." "Please let him come." " Well, we'll see." "Hey, did you hear a guitar?" "I found this out there." "What is it?" "This is your gift." "Enjoy it, don't scratch it, eh?" " Thank you" " Like it?" "This is a good one, a Garrido." "No, an Arcángel, we spared no expense." "What happened, have we won the lottery?" "Don't start, I get enough of that from your Grandma." "The girl's right." "Hey, it's crazy." " I'm a good manager." " Spendthrift is more like it." "When can I tell Luis that maybe he can come?" " Why does he have to come?" " Why not?" " Because I said no, and that's it." " Because some have so much and others so little." "Look what happened to Teresa's husband." " What happened?" "He had his wallet stolen with a lot money, or lost it, he doesn't know." " And they want to fire him from the company." " What do you mean, who is this Teresa?" " The fat dressmaker from number 22." " The one whose husband works in construction." " She says it was more than 100,000 pesetas." " Poor man, and why was he carrying so much?" "Because he's a collection agent." "Since he's so old, who's going to hire him?" " Can Luis come or not?" " Antonio, help me to clear." " Sure." "I'll get it." " It has to be the same wallet." " Of course it's the same wallet." "I knew it couldn't work out." "Who would think... to sit on such a dirty toilet with a wallet with 102,000 pts?" "And the guy goes and doesn't remember where he lost it, is he an idiot or what?" " How much did you pay for the guitar?" " 2,000 pesetas." " You should tell them you don't want it." " Sure." "How are we going to return it?" "We can't do that to Tony." "So tell me where do we get 2,000 pts." "Wait." "I was saving." " What's this?" " 2,000 pesetas." " And there?" " 200." "2,000 is enough." "Merche, the washer will have to wait and Benidorm, and everything." "Go on, return the wallet." " What are you going to say," " I don't know." "I'll think of something." "Merche, I know what I'll say." "That I found it in the bathroom." " And what's your lad going to study?" " Law." " A Lawyer?" " Lawyer, yes." "And how much will it be?" "Because it must cost a pretty penny." "Quite a lot, Tino, but what you gonna do." "The kid's worth it." "Tino, get me a glass of soda water, I'm going to the bathroom." " Sure" "I just found it." "Tino." " What do you want?" "Look what I found." "What do you mean?" "Where was it?" "In the toilet, if I didn't step on it, I wouldn't have seen it." " My God, this is a lot of money." " I know that." " A thousand, 2 thousand, 3 thousand..." " At least a hundred." " Do you know who this will belong to?" " No." " To Tomás, the construction worker." "I was told that he'd been robbed and that they were firing him... if he didn't pay it back." "I think I have his phone number." "Here, hold it a moment." " No, I'm not holding it," "I've never seen so much money." "Call him now." "I don't understand." "First we're going to the beach and buying a washing machine." "And then neither the beach, or washing machine." " You were right, too much spending." "Your mother's crazy." "She said she wanted 2 weeks without stepping in the kitchen." " Not anymore!" " Hey, don't worry Mom, we'll go another year." "I'm going down to the hairdresser who'll have already opened." " Goodbye, daughter." " Bye." "Mother, I promise you that when I have the money I'll take you to Benidorm." "Why would I want to go to Benidorm?" "I read that someone found a million pesetas from a Bank and returned it." " To a bank?" " Yes." " I find money from a bank and I'll take it." " Too right." " I don't know how I didn't see it." " It was behind the toilet..." "Hello." " Here." " Where was it?" "In the toilet." "He found it." " Yes, I was just leaving and I saw it." "I'm so grateful to you." "They were going to fire me," "I've searched everywhere." "I thought it had been stolen." " There's 102,000 pts., I've counted them." " Yes, 102,000 pts." "I don't know what to say, I appreciate it so much." "I can't give you more, but if you'll accept this." " I can't accept that." " Yes, of course!" "I'd have lost it all." "Don't insist, I can't take it." "But I'll accept a drink." "One moment he almost started crying." " Poor guy." " He wanted to give me 2,000 pesetas." " What did you say?" " That of course I couldn't take it." "I accepted a cognac, though." "When I was pregnant with Tony, I dreamed that we were in a hotel, and I was in a foam bath, and you were sitting on the edge, in a silk robe." "And you had a bottle of champagne." "And you opened it and served the drinks." "And suddenly I woke up." "And there was nothing there." "And I felt..." "well, as I feel now." "I know." "We may well never get to see the sea." "We'll get there, some day." "It's just that it's all so far away." "The sea, the restaurants, the luxury hotels." " Well, it's almost better this way, Merche." "If we'd kept the money, we'd have spent a lifetime with a guilty conscience." "What the heck, on top of being poor, we're moral!" "That's it: poor, but honest." "What a calamity we are." "(I never knew why we didn't go on holiday that Summer.)" "(I remember that I was very proud...) (because my father had returned a wallet...) (and in the neighborhood, there was talk of nothing else.)" "(But what I remember most about that June of 68,)" "(is the black eye the police gave my brother)." "(And that breast..." "that naked breast.)" "(That breast that drove my friend Luis and me crazy.)" "(Of course, every sin has to have it's penance,)" "(and we spent the Summer cleaning the Church.)" "(But for as much that Don Venancio was punishing us, we had no regrets.)" " He's calling us." "You confess first." " No, you." " No, you first." " Odds or evens." " Okay." "Evens." " Odds." "1, 2 and 3." "You lose." "What a tit, eh?" "# If I had a broom." "# If I had a broom." "# If I had a broom. # how many things it would sweep." "# First." "# What would I do first..." "# I would sweep away the money, which is the cause and the reason, # oh, of so much despair." "# Second." "# What I would do second," "# I would sweep away all dirty things... # seen by the underworld." "# If I had a broom." "# If I had a broom." "# If I had a broom. # how many things it would sweep."
