"We always argued why people came." "She said it was my cooking, I said it was her." "Norma was something..." "She sure was the house specialty." "With that smile she had..." "Brighter than a neon sign." "Imagine: people came in and saw that portrait." "Then the real Norma showed up, happier, full of light." "Then they thought they were, who knows, in Paradise at least." "Then she asked them to follow her, that they'd have the best table, she told that to everyone:" "you'll have the best table." "And they bought it." "Because if she took you, it was the best table." "She made you feel..." "you were unique." "Francesco and I laughed because when she went to the kitchen, everybody, I mean everybody:" "women, children, men, everybody gazed at her dumbstruck." "Were they still on earth?" "Was she a ghost?" "They feared she wouldn't come back." "And then, she surprised them again." "She took note of everything at the register, standing there, like magic."

"Natalia, I can't expose my mom to this." "It'd be a problem for her and for all." "Okay, I'm sorry. I thought I was part of your family." "Nati, we have to talk." "What are we doing?" "It's not that." "I'd like us to be more free." "What do you mean?" "Free." "Don't you know free?" "Free as in freedom." "Define freedom." "Come on!" "Everyone knows." "What if San Martin's soldiers had said: general, define freedom." "Don't you get freedom?" "lt's you I don't get." "Hi." "Juan Carlos?" "What are you doing?" "No, come up." "The fuck does he want?"

"They did get married." "They didn't, they just lived together." "Nati must know." "Did Maxwell Smart marry Agent 99?" "Who cares?" "She doesn't know." "Getting married's a great idea." "You too?" "Stop it." "l told him." "And forget romanticism?" "What are you saying?" "You're not Zorro." "You're the evil Captain Monasterio."

"You are?" "Bye." "Sleep well." "Does your dad remember me?" "l doubt it." "Can you manage?" "Yes." "Let me do it." "So you get a little privacy." "I know when I'm in the way." "I'll talk with him later." "You know?" "Darling." "Bye, honey." "Bye." "It happened on highway 9." "Coming from Rosario."

"Missed work." "My friends slowly..." "Are you okay?" "Rafael..." "Yes." "Yes, I got a little dizzy." "Come on, let's walk." "Doctor said ten blocks a day." "Slowly?" "Yes." "You were talking about friends..." "Nothing, they got fed up." "I don't blame them." "I sang a two year-long tango." "And then, I don't know how, one night totally plastered, I woke up at 5.00 am in a puddle of vomit." "Gross." "I got in the bathtub and, washing my legs... I looked in the shaving mirror." "I love to shave in the shower because steam clears my..." "No, it opens the pores." "Sure." "Anyway..." "I sat there just looking at myself, at least half hour." "And I went:" "Ta-da!" "And?" "That's it." "The tango's over." "Stop the tears." "Recover my life, find real friends and move on." "That's it?" "If it had been me, I'd be..." "Yeah, maybe I'm a lucky guy." "But the truth is..." "watch your step..." "When nothing can be worse than what happened, you feel powerful." "I worry about nothing now." "The house, the car, money..." "l don't worry." "Faggots!" "Fuck you, asshole!" "You fascist motherfucker!" "Calm down, don't worry." "Did you hear that?" "Don't worry." "For God's sake!" "Sergeant Garcia!" "He's running away!" "Soldiers, on horse!" "Watch out with his whip!"
