"Did you send her out for something?" "Answer me!" "You must have sent her out for something." "Its been three hours since she split." "And she is not back." "And the brat is making a fuss." "Get dressed." "I have nothing to wear!" "This one." "But, that one fits me too tight!" "That's why." "The new Head Master you have is too young." "They are all the same." "Put these on." "Where?" "Put these on." "Where!" "Where else!" "Girls, turn off the TV and the radio." "Gloria!" "Come down with your sisters and look after the house." "If the maid comes back, have her take her brat!" "Did you hear me!" "Come down!" "May I...." "Head Master?" "Good morning, Head Master." "Did you sleep well?" "Terrible!" "I see you have a fine appearance, sir." "I don't know how my appearance could be fine, I am dying." "I have such a hangover, its like typhus!" "What did you think of the party, sir?" "Whose idea was it to have that party?" "The entire faculty, in your honor, Head Master." "Say, what did they make me drink?" "Cognac." "Imported Cognac, sir." "Cognac?" "Formaldehyde!" "What swill!" "Would you like to lie down, Head Master?" "Would you allow me, Head Master?" "One must be unhindered." "Nothing must be uncomfortable." "That's it." "Relax, Head Master." "Relax, Head Master." "Why not." "Why not." "Alka-Zeltzer, Head Master?" "Yes." "A bit of air, Head Master?" "Head Master." "What did you think of that piece of ass I got you last night?" "What piece of ass?" "The blonde one." "She was wearing black, very tight dress." "Here and here." "Wearing beads, Head Master." "You call that a piece of ass?" "She disgusted me, man!" "I must have been drunk, Head Master." "Head Master you received two calls, from the Sub Secretary." "Why didn't you mention it, man!" "Fourteen thousand times I have told you, as soon as the Sub Secretary calls, tell me!" "Then the one who is affected is me!" "Head Master, I told him you where at the archives." "That's good." "Good morning, Sub Secretary." "I was at the administrative archives, for a family matter." "No sir, it will not happen again." "It will not happen again." "Delighted, sir." "Delighted!" "Yes sir." "Yes sir" "We where working all night." "The text book ceremony is ready." "Head Master." "Mistresses." "Masters." "I have, the privileged honor." "To present the distinguished Sub Secretary." "Who by his grace, has placed his feet in these installations." "And..." "But , will address you personally." "Ladies," "Young Mistresses" "Gentlemen Masters." "We are here to discuss the sexual education text books, for elementary schools." "You may face some resistance, from parents." "Due to lack of information." "Information that you, must provide." "Allow me, Sub Secretary." "Us teachers, find ourselves completely defenseless against the problem." "What can we do with a text book, made for children, who are the effect, and not the parents, who are the cause?" "What can we do sir, when what we teach, at school, is crushed at home?" "In a family environment that is manipulated, deteriorated, destroyed, by television, radio, the press, and cinema?" "I , I ask of myself, and ask of you, how is it possible, that the government budgets more than thirty thousand million Pesos annually, for public education." "While at the same time, give free range to all those mediums of communication?" "Why?" "Because, Head Master, in Mexico, freedom of speech is sacred." "Sub Secretary!" "I want to tell you that I oppose all those text books!" "Because before I am a mother, I am a teacher, and I will bring unto this world all the children God gives me!" "All the children in the world, what's more!" "One moment, you are quite excited, sit down please, we will discuss that later." "I am not in agreement with my colleague." "I feel her position is quite egotistical." "I believe that it is of vital importance for children to receive that text book." "So they may not drag on the same mistakes, as their parents." "Now then, I ask, what is the path to follow, Sub Secretary?" "Sub Secretary, in page forty two, third paragraph, in the natural science text book for sixth grade, reaffirms and asserts that masturbation is not harmful!" "In girls, a very important change will present itself, menstruation." "Manifested in the appearance of blood from their reproductive organ, it is called menstruation, because it presents itself approximately every twenty eight days." "Or every month." "Our girls know all of this." "Yeah, but go on, go on, see what it says." "The reproductive organs of a boy, will begin producing sperm between ten to sixteen years old." "After that time, he may have an emission of fluid that contains spermatozoa." "This is completely normal." "The production of spermatozoa indicates that a man can be a father, even when he may not be ready for it." "Seems fine to me." "How can that seem fine to you?" "You find it fine that we should just hand this to children?" "I do." "It's all very clear." "Then how can we politicize?" "And now, what are you talking about "politicizing?"" "Do not hamper me." "Are you educating or politicizing?" "That is not what I am saying, what I am saying is that we need to politicize, this will help us." "Well then...if...if..." "I just don't understand , you are asking me...." "The vanguards!" "The vanguards?" "What vanguards?" "You never remember what I tell you." "I have told you about the vanguards!" "The...peasants vanguard." "The workers vanguard." "The People's vanguard, to which I belong, and you too." "I think the people's vanguard may have had one too many drinks." "One does not drink at the meetings." "We communicate ideas." "We are intellectuals." "Look, love, every time you talk about vanguards and all those things, I have my doubts." "Any other way, I just don't understand, you are asking me about the text book." "Now if you want to politicize, you have the best opportunity in the world, you are a teacher." "I have told you that only by education you can politicize." "How can you politicize a people who are ignorant?" "Yes, but we must do it quickly, raise this country up, fast!" "Your vanguards are at the school, it's the children, the men of tomorrow, what else do you want?" "Or, what do you want, what other way do you want," "You want to become an extremist?" "Grab yourgun belt, put it on, go all alone, up the hill?" "Do not mock me, this is a serious discussion." "I'm here!" "It's Lalo" "What's up, brother in law?" "Sister, how are you?" "Hi" "Why have you not visited mother?" "I have not had time, how is she?" "You have had no time." "Remember, she who is a bad daughter, is bad at everything!" "Take off your hat and sit down." "Sit down!" "Hi, shortie!" "Hello Marta!" "Why don't you help Marta?" "Sit down Marta, help her." "They fell asleep on the way here Watch where you step!" "You are such an ass!" "You are so rude!" "Teguita!" "Tegua!" "How are you brother in law?" "Please take the children upstairs, there are too many of us here." "Too many of us, what, my children are hindering you?" "No sir, they are not hindering me. what happens is that we need oxygen, there are too many of us here." "It is for your children, exactly." "If its for my children, then we are leaving, sister." "Oh Lalo, don't be foolish." "You want to go , son?" "Go on, love, go upstairs with your brothers." "There are paints up there, so you can draw." "What are you reading, sister?" "May I?" "You are so rude!" "Is this a medical book?" "No." "It's a text book" "A what?" "Text book." "For school." "High school?" "No." "It's a primer, for elementary." "Elementary?" "What do you think?" "Bladder, penis, testicles, clitoris." "What are you looking at, what are you seeing?" "What's all this then!" "It's a text book." "A text book, this is what you will teach?" "It is the book we are going to use at the school where I am Head Master." "This, in elementary, are you insane!" "Why did you not tell me about this!" "Some have not received them yet." "Starting tomorrow, pull the kids from the school, and cut off the bus service." "But..." "Shut up!" "Have you heard the latest about Echeverria, Brother in law?" "Eh?" "Why do you not politicize yourself?" "Do what?" "Politicize." "That's what I am into." "I wake with pollocks" "I sleep with pollocks" "Its in my blood, right babe?" "One thing is politics, and another is pollocks." "Yeah, that , Pollocks." "No sir, politics" "You see love, how I was saying, one must educate first so people can become politicized?" "Don't talk to me about education with this book you have in your home, with your daughters!" "There is nothing wrong with it Shut up!" "Spread lit amongst your friends if you like." "No way!" "I think you need it more than your children do." "Am I a joke to you, what is this about?" "Nothing we where just discussing" "Discussing this, get out of here, girls." "Get out." "Why should they get out?" "So we can talk about this!" "But why, that book is for them, they already know all that." "The one that does not know this is you." "How are my daughters to learn all this about the clitoris and the vagina, and placenta and all that!" "That is right, sir." "What is happening, you are completely manipulated by television, your friends,and those tabloids you read!" "Don't be offensive, eh!" "Offensive?" "Manipulation is not a rude word, its what you do to me." "You shut up!" "I do not know how I put up with you!" "Yeah, manipulating you gave you those six great kids you have!" "Manipulation!" "How rude!" "I only did that when I was little." "How rude, and in front of your own sister!" "Shut up!" "Lalo, please." "How do you want me to feel" "Look" "A thing that can happen to boys and girls, is that they want more independence more freedom." "That way, enjoy the most from life." "So, this lot is meat for the brothel, right?" "Lalo!" "According to the government." "Not at all." "The one who is meat for the brothel, is she who is ignorant." "What does the government pretend with this!" "Eliminate ignorance." "Oh, bunch of clowns, please!" "Do you want to know who is really manipulating you?" "Lalo?" "By our own mother." "Do not bring in our saint of a mother into this!" "Let's go!" "Let's go kids!" "You leave that filth behind, let's go!" "Let's go!" "Lalo, you are so rude, really!" "Do not tell this to my daughters, let's go!" "You must allow me to see your sister later!" "We will see each other later, Marta" "I can't even go see my mother!" "Let's go!" "Good bye" "I feel so sorry, girls." "Boys!" "Looking for the boy when you have five girls." "Communists!" "No, my friend." "All these pigs have trichinosis and the mange." "It will be difficult to issue the permit." "They do not have trichinosis." "They have no trichinosis?" "How can you say that, just take a look at them, observe!" "It is very dangerous!" "Look here." "Trichinosis is a parasite that forms no spicule or root, is that not enough!" "How much?" "No, hold on, I am trying to solve things the right way, do not offend me." "Look, I will explain it scientifically so you may understand." "Trichinosis is a cosmopolitan disease." "Considered cosmopolitan, because it can affect the muscles, the intestines, the brain." "And after, can cause death, my friend." "One thousand Pesos." "Put them in, I already took a look at them, put them in." "Look friend, so we may best understand each other." "I could care less about the mange, it is not important." "It is not important, it only means there will be no pork rinds." "But trichinosis is a crime!" "No?" "Ok, then." "Where will you slaughter the piggies?" "Here." "Here!" "No way, that is very difficult, you will put me in a dreadful predicament!" "Check this out, just because I like you and want to help you out." "I will issue the permit, so that your piggies be slaughtered, but only at an authorized abattoir." "¿Bien?" "Now, if the abattoirs are not licensed, the fee is double, it goes up." "Quit fucking around!" "What's that about, I am talking sensibly with you." "I want to be your friend." "I will check on your animals every two weeks." "Also, I want to solve things the legal way." "Legality is...." "That is how I wanted to catch you!" "You are a motherfucking shyster!" "What?" "I caught you red handed!" "I am issuing an order here, can't you see!" "What order, with what documents, with what pencils!" "With the authority that I have!" "With that fucking idiotic face!" "No sir!" "Elements like you denigrate our department!" "You, are a motherfucker, public poisoner!" "You poison the people!" "You will both have to accompany me!" "That's it, enough!" "Pair of clowns!" "Circus freaks!" "There are one thousand Pesos." "But you, for being a midget and a dumb ass will have to share with this one." "Make it two thousand, neither you nor me." "Sure, man!" "What the fuck are you looking at!" "Motherfucking idiot!" "Why did you have to come in!" "Why did you have to come in, fuck!" "The deal was made!" "The dumb fuck was drinking water from this hand!" "From this one, he was drinking the water!" "The ship was sinking, so I came in to save you." "What fucking boat or nothing, dumb motherfucker!" "Fucking imbecile, sinking." "You looked scared." "What scared, that is my technique, my technique!" "You really took a shit, and then you ruin my jacket, look what you did, look!" "Look!" "Look!" "Do not insult me ever again!" "Do not insult me!" "No sir!" "How you call a dumb fuck!" "So fucking brave, and then you insult me too!" "And my dough?" "This day, that chum would have given us, minimum five thousand!" "Five thousand he would have given us." "Here." "One hundred?" "How much did they give us because of you, you dumb fuck?" "One thousand." "How much is ten percent?" "One hundred." "Ha." "But they guy said half and half." "And you want that much." "Half and half, you dumb fuck" "And who is in charge here, you fuck." "Besides, you owe me fifty Pesos." "At least give me the new kind." "It's not enough, I have six kids." "That is your problem, not mine, buddy." "I have more kids, and more broads." "And I have the balls, the cojons to sustain all of them!" "How many women do you have?" "None of your business, motherfucker." "I only have one." "Like I give a fuck, motherfucker." "I just can't do this." "Because your are a dumb fuck." "For all that you did today." "Being a dumb fuck." "Today was a day for five thousand Pesos, easy!" "One thousand." "And if you don't like it, split, buddy, just split." "No, I just..." "Tomorrow, I have five abattoirs, if you like." "Tomorrow, minimum, ten thousand Pesos, how about it?" "You want to split?" "Next week, I have milk plants." "And two weeks after that, labs." "You want to go?" "No, but you promised to sponsor me for a salary." "Salary, salary you dumb fuck, you all want a salary!" "You dumb fucks." "I have a salary, you fuck, it is bullshit!" "What is it enough for?" "Not even for petrol!" "It is sure money." "You shit conformist." "This is why you are this way, you fuck." "You promised me a license." "And how much will you pay me, you fuck you know how much a license is?" "One hundred thousand Pesos, you fuck, you have them?" "No, but give me some time." "Fuck giving you time, in a month, you are insane, you fuck." "Oh man." "What, you think I make dough just like that?" "Tomorrow, I have to give the higher ups their cut." "With my own money." "And they pay their superiors." "Like that and that." "All the way to the top." "How is it going honey, how have you been?" "Well....fine" "That's good!" "Lupe" "Take the girl to the movies." "Vertically, as I was saying." "I am tired of so much corruption and so much filth." "It's just not in me, just not in me, Patricia." "You know I am not married to any post." "Not one." "The evidence I have it in my pocket, in my pocket!" "To hand it to the President, but, personally," "I do not agree with this government." "It is so harmful, so aggressive that they harm you in that manner." "After having studied for so long, having been lineal, vertical as I have told you." "For what?" "So they can offer you a bribe?" "No way." "I would want you to know what it feels like to get a bribe." "It is offensive, tremendously so." "And I will accept nothing, Patricia, nothing!" "Nothing that did not come to me legally." "That is why I want to register that girl, so that I mah mphhfh...." "I like the Mustang, love" "Do you think it agrees with my skin tone?" "I have had it with so much corruption." "So much...filth!" "Denigrate, degenerate!" "And I will give it to him, I will!" "Because a member like me, can't mphshpshhs...." "There is an apartment in Polanco, sensational, will you buy it for me?" "All of these payments on the Mustang, love, there is no need to send them to the secretariat." "Understand?" "I will bring you the money before hand." "I do not want you to have any problems." "Money problems specially, agreed?" "I am vertical." "Thanks, my love." "Love, will you buy me the condo in Polanco tomorrow?" "Of course I will, baby, I told you I would." "I am here!" "I am here!" "Didn't you hear I was here?" "How is my lovely girl, how pretty!" "Give me a kiss, eat your chocolate, my love!" "Hey boy, how are you?" "Fine" "That's good." "And you what is that, homework?" "It is, good!" "How is it going, son, how are you?" "Fine." "That's good." "Why are my children not in school?" "You are such a cynic!" "I do not want to argue in front of my children." "If you had a watch, you would see it is barely breakfast time." "God cannot forgive you!" "Where have you been, answer me!" "Cynic, shameless!" "I am sure you have been having a tumble with one of your prostitutes." "The children with no food." "And me, with nothing to wear, want me to show you the state I am in!" "If it wasn't for my mother, we would not have eaten in two days!" "Can you cash my check?" "Of course, Lalo, as always." "You know how its done, thanks God-mother." "You are wasting yourself, son, how can you work in that way?" "You are wasting away." "In three years, you will be an old man." "It is the conditions, mother." "What conditions, what conditions, it is that woman, she will be the end of you." "It is killing me too." "But the Sacred Heart of Christ must grant me the miracle." "That you leave her." "How can I leave her, mother, I have five children, six with the one that is coming." "Give them to me." "What better education can they have, than the one I gave to you all?" "Like the one I gave to you and your sister." "The principles I taught you." "The sensibilities." "I am a very pious woman." "You know I was educated at the Sacred Heart of Monterrey." "Yes, mother." "I never leave the church." "That is why I do not want to let in that wicked woman." "I did not want to tell you but, as soon as you leave, that woman hits the streets." "God know what she is up to." "But mother, how could she go out, she has no maid, in accordance to your counsel." "Who will she leave the children with?" "With the neighbors, with anyone." "Oh, my son." "That woman is the end of you, of me too!" "Here mother, your stipend." "Oh, thanks, my son, thanks." "May god bless you." "May he multiply this, for being a good son." "Because you are such a good man, my son!" "More chocolate?" "No mother, I already had three cups." "Oh no, this is your favorite." "The one I made since you where a boy, remember how you liked it?" "I will get heartburn." "You won't get anything , you must nourish yourself." "You must be strong." "You work so much." "You work from sunrise to sunset, and that woman does not appreciate it." "Oh, my son, every day you look more like my father." "You where born at five in the morning." "Three days of suffering, of pain." "Three days of hemorrhaging, they could not control them." "I almost died." "Tomorrow I want you to pick me up and take me to the theater." "Yes mother." "Make it early." "Yes mother." "Then, take me to dinner to Cafe Tacuba." "Yes mother." "Motherfuckers!" "Dog's meat, and it was spoiled, did you see that!" "Did you see that, of course I did!" "But we live off these motherfuckers." "Pray to the Lord that there are many like them, bro." "Sure." "Here you go." "sure." "You know what?" "Let's go to Don Paco's butcher shop." "It's close by." "Then the chicken monger's" "You are on." "What time will these dumb bitches get here?" "Halt!" "Hands up!" "What?" "You derelict from the third world." "Move it, my misunderstood prole." "What, you are smoking?" "Let's see your permit." "Permit for what, I'm sorry?" "Your license, you dumb fuck!" "I need a license for a hand truck, its not a rolling market" "Fuck the market!" "I have nothing on me, boss." "Well, you are well fucked then, you must have a license for this hand truck." "I want to get one, but I could not get it, boss." "Don't lie, you peasant, don't lie." "You are a dumb fuck!" "Because the only thing you lot are good for, is to give a fucking negative image of the nation, motherfuckers." "Hand it over." "I have nothing on me, boss, I'm skinned, I just got started, boss." "And what's all this then?" "I think it's to buy weapons, motherfucker!" "You are fucked." "What, you don't like it?" "Look, thank the saints that you ran into a man with a good heart, otherwise we would have fucked you up." "I will give you some advise, motherfucker." "Don't let me see you around here again, or you will get the big one, got it!" "What are you doing here?" "Polluting the environment, you motherfuckers." "The city is for civilized people, not for beasts like you lot!" "Fucking peasants!" "Fuckhead!" "Despite your age, you are quite intelligent." "And I must confess, you make love quite well." "Thanks." "What is wrong, I see you lost in thought." "Nothing." "Oh nothing?" "Nothing my love." "Tell me the truth." "Really, nothing is wrong." "What is it that you do, when you go out with my daughter and that group of girls?" "We go dancing, have some drinks, have dinner, that is all." "Drugs?" "Sometimes." "And why is that, tell me." "To loose ourselves." "To loose yourselves." "I see you ever so briefly, this month only twenty minutes." "I have many responsibilities." "I know that" "Problems." "Many people depend on me" "As do I." "Call me tomorrow." "You are always in a meeting." "Keep insisting." "You saw that?" "You slept with my father?" "Of course." "Did you like it?" "He is adequate in bed." "And what did you talk about." "Nothing, what was there to talk about, we where there for a purpose." "Did you talk about me?" "No" "That's good, fuck my mom!"

"Life is cruel, but more cruel can be a mother, the mother, the hyena that bore him!" "One moment, Head Master." "You are accusing a person that you do not know personally." "You are ignorant of that woman, having the means to sustain herself." "If she has to go out to find a livelihood for her children." "You are giving me the reason, Mistress." "If she has no means, if she has no education." "Why bear children?" "Oh, Head Master, I will explain to you why they bear children." "Because the Mexican woman is educated for childbearing." "All the ones God bestows upon her." "And then, man, so responsible, with that concept of responsible fatherhood that he has, none of it, of course he does not have one." "That, that the only thing he is interested in is, siring children all over the place, and then, after burdening them with children, they abandon them." "It is sad, sir, it is sad, but in my view, men are at fault." "No, Mistress, no." "You as a Mexican, and as a woman, must know well, that in Mexico," "Woman must take care of her children." "Neglect is death, death like that of that lad" "Woman, Mexican mother is always concerned about her children." "But when she is forced to go out, to find the bread, to find the food, to find clothes for them, because if she does not support them who will?" "The father, and the mother must mind the children." "Let's talk reality, Mistress." "No man places a gun to a woman's chest so he may impregnate her." "No...they place something else."

"It has been...fifteen days...since I was supposed to have had my period, I think I am one month pregnant." "I do not want to have a child, because, I have no means to feed it." "I am not in the capacity to educate it." "And what do I have to do with that?" "Look, Head Master, I am not lacking in sexual education." "I know, that I can have an abortion with the minimum of risk, if a qualified person attends to me." "A doctor." "Great heavens!" "Since I have no money, and abortion is illegal, I don't know why or by whom." "I beg of you to intervene on my behalf so I can get care at a government hospital." "At the Public Workers Hospital, or at the National Healthcare Service." "You are insane!" "No, she is not insane, she speak with a crushing logic." "She demands an absolute right, and undeniable one." "Logic!" "If you have had sexual education, why did you allow yourself to be impregnated?" "The pill failed?" "And what fault is it of mine that the pill did not work?" "And what fault of hers is it that laboratories produce garbage?" "But I am not your father!" "She has no parents, she lives with an aunt." "Head Master, I would like to tell you that..." "No, no..." "Head Master, you are responsible for the education of, of the pupils of this establishment." "And to a degree, responsible, responsible for their mental health." "She speaks of her mental health, that simple." "Very well, so what?" "Well, an abortion costs $5000 Pesos." "Sure it does, because it's illegal!" "And why is it illegal?" "I don't know, that is up to the deputies who legislated on the matter." "Would you suggest, that this girl bear her child." "So that she may eventually abandon it." "And maybe it turns up dead, like the boy you saw this morning." "No need to tell me, he would not help you, right?" "I told you, he is too old to understand our problems." "And the Mistress was so cool." "Poor thing, they put her down like a champ." "And now what will you do?" "I don't know, but I won't go to a midwife, for what, so she may kill me?" "But...where do I get $5000 pesos from?" "You could consider prostitution, the classy kind, eh." "If you don't make $50, its $100." "What will I do?" "Well, you are out of options." "Alberto?" "What?" "Oh please." "I like him a lot, and he is cool, but, no, no, he is not my type." "But it is the only answer, marry him, what else can you do?" "I just don't know." "Look, that way, you kill two birds with one stone." "You find a father for your kid, and you get someone to take care of you, what else do you want?" "But how could I ever fool him?" "Oh, don't give me that now that you are the honorable kind." "If you where so honorable, you would no have allowed yourself to get pregnant." "You should have thought of that before." "How can I live with a man, who does not know I have a child that is not his?" "Don't you even dare tell him you where impregnated by another man!" "He would never forgive you."

"Go around, motherfucker!" "Let's all move the car." "Who you telling to fuck his mother, you motherfucker!" "Hold on, I never..." "You are the motherfucker!" "Those poor fuckers, a scare would have been enough, co-father." "You know how it burns me for someone to curse my mother, co-father." "Ok, that is very true." "The motherfuckers are the ones who disgrace and give a bad image to the nation." "That is why the tourists won't come, fuck!" "How can it be fucking possible, that in Mexico, being a free and sovereign state, such fucking scum could exist, co-father?" "Those fucks." "I am sure if the government finds out about what I did, they will surely hire me to be the end of all these motherfuckers!" "What is all this then?" "Suits for the work you are about to carry out." "Do not open that here." "But, why suits?" "Because we now work differently, in accordance with the current system." "You will go to that town, and ask about those guys, to everyone." "All the town must know you are looking for them." "And if they ask what for, tell them is for a simple matter, nothing more." "We will get identified." "Not with those suits." "What, are they masks or what?" "They are suits of impunity." "Impunity?" "I don't understand." "We will be identified, and we will get screwed, man." "You will not be identified, nor screwed." "If you get screwed, we get screwed, don't be naive." "One more thing, a very important one." "This time, they will not be vanished." "You will leave them in a very visible place, where anyone can see them." "I'm understanding fuck all." "When you open that suitcase, you will understand." "Here is half." "The rest when the job is complete." "And if you finish before one week, there will be a bonus." "So, according to the current system, one must use suits, and not vanish people?" "With these suits." "Military, eh." "And where is it?" "In Guerrero." "Do you know them?" "Yeah, two collective farmers, from some forestry collective." "Ready for the pit, those motherfuckers." "And you got paid well?" "$200,000 with down payment." "And they promised to give me more if..." "I finished in a week." "Do not be naive." "Do not anger me, I am not naive." "And what do the ones who blame the army for killing peasants get?" "And make the president an accomplice?" "What are you saying?" "Are you smoking marijuana again?" "Stay seated!" "It took some effort to find you, what are you doing here?" "We have a collective farmers assembly." "An assembly, right?" "You are the president of the collective commissariat?" "No" "And you the secretary?" "No" "Treasurer?" "No" "Then you are from the guardian committee?" "No, not that either." "Then what the fuck are you!" "We told you, we are collective farmers." "We have an assembly." "An assembly, for what do you want an assembly for, dumb asses?" "We want to get rid of the collective commissariat, and the guardian committee." "Yeah." "What, they are stealing from you, or what?" "Yes sir, they are accomplices with the lumber company." "And not conformed with that, look, they are also traitors, look at the wall." "I am not blind, dumb ass!" "Don't get mad, man." "You shut up, dumb ass." "These are subversives." "No sir, we are fighting for our rights." "Fuck your rights, face that way!" "For what, man?" "Face that way, motherfucker!" "These are the ones that are harming investment in Mexico." "And also oppose industrialization and progress of the nation." "So, trying to impose foreign ideals, foreign to our fine traditions, and our way of life." "Communists!" "I must tell you as well." "To those of you who have been victims of bastardy interests." "Their crime will not go with impunity." "For our Lord in his eternal grace." "Would have written in his book of fire, the good and the bad of each one of his children." "Good or bad." "And on the day of judgment, when they be judged," "He will know to give everyone his just desserts" "His award or punishment." "So then, beloved brothers of mine in Christ." "Take heart, because you will live forever in our hearts, and in our sentiments." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," "Amen." "Thank you Father, and what will happen to our children?" "God will provide, child." "Your children need this more." "Thank you Father." "Excuse me." "Children, as you all know, we have concluded another day of class." "Hoping that tomorrow, you will return, with enthusiasm to work." "Remember to practice hygiene, because children that practice hygiene, are welcome in school." "Madame Head Mistress, those people are here again!" "Again!" "Good evening, Madame Head Mistress." "Good evening." "How may I help you?" "As you can see, these honorable parents have come to me, to complain about some serious anomalies, emitted by this establishment." "That I demand you explain at once." "And who are you?" "What do you represent, or, are you a parent?" "Of course not, Madame Head Mistress, I am a Priest!" "I represent divine law!" "My responsibility is to guide this flock trough the good path, and under the precepts of our Holy Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church!" "He is our spiritual guide." "Oh, I see." "Well then, what is your complain?" "Please, Mr. Ramiro." "To energetically protest that filth of a book you have issued to our children as of late." "And the presence in our school, of that teacher that just arrived from the captal." "Rincon." "Master Rincon" "Yes, Rincon." "Bring him in, please." "Yes Mistress." "I have yet to understand what the complaint is." "Miss, we have suffered this problem already." "I beg of you , Mr. Ramiro." "My face is falling of from shame, Father." "I understand, but please, go ahead, go ahead, tell her." "I come home from work, tired, home, the the peace of my home, and I find that my daughter, out of the blue, she tells me," "that she knows, because of you lot, how...babies are made." "The....vagina the penis." "Sir!" "Yes, she did, the girl told me, madame!" "I slapped her!" "Well done." "You slapped her?" "Sure!" "For expressing her knowledge?" "I mean...how dare she speak to me that way!" "Is it that you don't have a penis?" "Oh my lord!" "Children, please, please, go outside!" "How rude!" "Do you not have a vagina?" "Miss!" "Mistress, where are we!" "In the head office of a school?" "In a bar?" "Or at the barracks?" "Where the big soldier types are!" "How old is your daughter?" "Thirteen." "I would say fourteen." "She has not had her birthday yet." "Does she menstruate?" "I will not allow this from anyone!" "What barbarity!" "But why such shame?" "Why are you so ashamed about sex, about the human body, why?" "How can it not be shameful, Mistress, my husband and I make love in the dark." "While the children are at doctrine lessons, of course." "Oh, the doctrines." "And what do you teach them?" "The catechism, from Father Pifalda." "Respect for their elders." "Obedience to them, of course." "The philosophy that their path on earth is a transient one." "A bit of that show from television, Sesame..." "Street?" "Yes." "Yes Father." "The ten commandments and the works of grace." "And do you feed them." "Well, after the doctrine, they get cookies, candy, ding dongs... but above all, spiritual nourishment." "I think they only thing they get is the dongs." "Madame!" "We are here to reject obscenities, not repeat them!" "You know that there are 60 million Mexicans, and 45 million have nothing to eat." "Because they don't work!" "We care for our own, we are not concerned for the rest." "Oh, you don't care, very well, very well indeed." "They don't work, not because they don't want to." "But because they have deficiencies." "Deficiencies caused by childhood malnourishment." "How many children do you have?" "Eleven, but it is because we married when I was fifteen." "And you, how many?" "Nine." "Nine!" "Yes, Mistress." "I understand you have, two more children?" "Everyone knows this." "Father..." "Mr. Ramiro..." "Miss, I can explain, that event, quite clearly." "It happens, that Mr. Ramiro, ignorant, because at seventeen we are all ignorant." "And that justifies us." "Came to me, repentant of his sins." "He confessed." "Gave him a penitence." "I absolved him" "And here you have him, converted into an exemplary father." "What does one know at seventeen." "So, ignorance is protection in your view, Father?" "Well, when ignorance is natural, it is." "Innocent souls." "Oh, innocent souls." "Madame, what would you do if your daughter becomes pregnant?" "I would disinherit her!" "I would kill her!" "I would excommunicate her!" "And why, instead of disinheriting, killing, or excommunicating her, why not give her the necessary knowledge, sexual knowledge?" "Here we go again with sex!" "But...this woman...she is obsessed with sex!" "You are a sex maniac!" "Here he comes." "Yes, he is here." "That's him." "Good evening." "Master Rincon?" "Yes" "They want to talk to you." "Look, Master Rincon, seriously." "There are persistent rumors in town, that you are a man of , foreign ideals, exotic ideals, that you are...strange." "You have been married two years, and ...no children." "Besides, he lives with that "lady," that we don't know if he is properly married to her, or , if they only live, in a disgusting arrangement." "Madame, do not bring my wife into this." "Please, calm down, calm down." "Gentlemen, if my wife and I have not had any children in the two years we have been married," "It is because we are not prepared, or have money to sustain them." "The worst thing of all, is not the corruption that suffocates us." "Nor the ignorance, which enslaves us." "The worst thing of all..." "Is that we have no desire to learn." "We reject learning." "An ignorant people, is a defenseless people." "Victim of its own passions." "Corruption, is a way of life to many of us." "Mexico is a country on its knees." "Who has never wanted to stand up." "The government cannot do it all." "The government is a true representation of its people." "And even so." "Many who make up its components, are ignorant and corrupt." "Enough lies!" "Enough demagogy!" "What we do not do for ourselves," "No one will." "If the people continue to be ignorant, and corrupt." "It will never emerge from the darkness, which suffocates it." "If the people insist on not learning," "And if the government insists on its own right, in not utilizing the means at its disposal," "Mexico will continue to be..." "Mexico," "Mexico," "Ra ra ra!" "The worst thing of all..." "Is not the corruption that suffocates us." "or the ignorance that enslaves us the worst thing of all..." "Is that we have no desire to learn." "We reject learning." "An ignorant people, is a defenseless people." "Victim of its own passions." "Corruption, is a way of life to many of us." "Mexico is a country on its knees." "Who has never wanted to stand up." "The government cannot do it all." "The government is a true representation of its people." "And even so." "Many who make up its components, are ignorant and corrupt." "Enough lies!" "Enough demagogy!" "What we do not do for ourselves," "No one will." "If the people continue to be ignorant, and corrupt." "It will never emerge from the darkness, which suffocates it." "If the people insist on not learning," "And if the government insists on its own right, in not utilizing the means at its disposal," "Mexico will continue to be..." "Mexico," "Mexico," "Ra ra ra!"
