" First, some groping warms the oven." "Some kisses on her titties and some nibbles on her nipples." "And then?" " Then I stick it all in." " With jiribilla." "And then?" "I push 'till she's dying." " Nothing else?" " What do you mean?" "Ceci waves, shakes, moans, like an oyster with lemon." " Ana cries." " Oh, poor darling." " No, she cries with pleasure." " I figure it."

"Julio had retired in silence and never told anyone about it." "How ware you, pal?" "I'm here." "What about a little challenge?" " No, it's all full of leaves." " No problem." "Okay." "You've let me beat you." "You had no reason." "I made Ana." "What?" "You've heard me." "I made your girlfriend." "The last time Tenoch had felt like that he was 11." "He head noticed his father's picture on a newspaper accusing him of a fraud in the import of spoiled corn for the poor." "Tenoch and his parents moved to Vancouver for eight moths."

"She sensed the broken equilibrium that she had to reestablish." " Good night." " Good night." "Good night, Tenoch." "What's up?" " Don't you sleep with Luisa?" " Fuck off." "How many times did you make her?" "Only one, and I was drunk." " When?" " Stop it." " No, tell me." "When?" " I don't know." "How's it you don't know?" "While you were at Lake Tahoe." " And where was Cecilia?" " She was sick." "Was it at her place?" " No." " Where then?" " At a party." " What party, asshole?" "I don't know, dude." "It was Fruity Loopy's party, I guess." "The party when Saba took her cherry?" " I guess so?" " What are you laughing, asshole?" " Saba." " Don't laugh!" " Who started it?" " Both." "We were so fucking drunk." "And where did you do it?" "In the sister's room." "How was Ana dressed?" " Shit!" "I can't remember." " Was she wearing pants or a skirt?" "What panties was she wearing?" " What panties?" "You've heard me!" " White, I guess." " Did she take it in her mouth?" " No!" "Look at me, idiot." "Did she suck it?" " Did you lick her?" " No, of course not." " Did she come?" " How do I know?" "It was very quick." " Did she enjoy it?" " How could I know?" " And you, asshole, did you enjoy it?" " No, no." "I felt like shit, I swear." "I wanted to tell you..." "Fuck off, asshole!" "To hell!" "You've broken our friendship." "The trust!" "You made my girlfriend." "You've screwed me!" "And me, idiot, bringing you those fucking comics from Lake Tahoe." "And a shit of a dress for that whore of Ana, fuck!" "Fuck off, dude." "Fuck off." "Tenoch, forgive me, pal." "I didn't do it on purpose." "Not on purpose?" "You can maybe stomp her foot not on purpose, not screw her!" "Right?" "Not make her!" " Not make her!" " No." "He went on all night long." "Tenoch engaged himself in an endless quest for details." "He wanted to make a puzzle with pieces that wouldn't always match." "In the meanwhile, Julio melted some details to build a less painful truth." "Lady Martina gave Luisa the stuffed mouse with her name on it as a present." "It belonged to her grand-nephew Luisa Obregòn died of a sunstroke crossing the desert of Arizona looking for a better future." "Luisa believed that the dead kept being present." "She wondered how long she would live on in other people's memories." "But she didn't want to fill her mind with thoughts of death." "She heat has hit you, too?" "A crazy heat." "Hey, where are you going?" " Stay here." " I wanna see Rasputin." "Listen, I don't like the idea." "Had Julio come into my room, it would have been the same." "Bullshit." "If you think I'm the driver, fuck yourselves." "Go fuck off!" "Calm down!" "Fucking hogs!" "Me, me, me, me." " The shoes." " The what?" "Shoes." "Okay, pull'em off." "Now this way, this way, this way." "Come here!" "Give it to me." "Come, feel me." "Be calm." "Quiet." "Look at me." "Look at me." " Wait for me." " Careful." "I'm sorry." "Nevermind." "Be quiet." "Luisa, I'm sorry." "It's just that..." "Don't act this way, come on!" "Wasn't this what you wanted?" "It was your game, right?" "Taking me on a trip to fuck me, wasn't it?" "So what?" "God, what idiots." "I shouldn't have done it with none of you." "That's what I should have done." "I didn't want to hurt anyone." "Do you believe me?" " Do you forgive me?" " Yes, yes." "Let's go." "Me too." " You too, what?" " Julio." "Me too, asshole." " You too what?" " I made your girlfriend, Ceci." "It's not true." " When?" " After the Plastilina Mosh gig." "Son of a bitch." "That's why you brought me home first, right, asshole?" " Where?" " My place." " Your place?" " In my room, dude." " She had flowered panties." " Did you screw her?" " The asshole made mine." " What happened to Three?" "Three:" "Don't fuck the others' girlfriends." "That's Five!" "Get out!" "Get out, asshole!" "Now I'll tear you to pieces!" " Open!" " Hey, guys, stop it!" "Fuck..." "A classic for a boor." "Now the boor's gonna smash your face!" "Blow me, dork!" " Fuck off!" " Snob queer!" " To hell." " Julio listen..." "Son of a bitch!" "I thought you were different, but you're animals!" "The futile Manifesto!" "Not following your own rules!" "You mark your territory and quarrel but you just want to screw each other!" "That's what you like!" "Who cares if you screw each other's women, if you come immediately?" "Who made me do this?" "I'm here changing diapers." "Seen, asshole?" " Come on, get out, open!" " No." " She's leaving." " You've pushed her." "How could you make my Ceci?" "That whore!" " So we're even, right?" " Even?" "Not fucking even!" "Get on your knees, like you made me do." " Come on!" " I'm sorry." " On your knees, son of a bitch!" " She's looking for a lift." "I know, asshole!" "On your knees!" "Move away." " Move away if you want me to get out." " Here you go." "Come on, I won't do anything." "Out." "Sorry." "On both your knees." "I beg your pardon, Julio, for screwing your girlfriend, okay?" "Come on, idot, she's leaving." " How many times did you make her?" " Just once, what do you think?" "You're not a charrolastra anymore!" " You don't mean anything to me anymore." " You neither." "You're a piece of shit!" " Come on, Luisa, get in." " No." "I'll take a bus to Puerto Escondido!" "To hell with you and Heaven's Mouth." "We want to go there with you." "Why?" "To quarrel." "No, thanks." " We won't quarrel." " We promise." "I can picture myself, with two dorks." " We've been assholes." " We'll do as you say." "You command." "It's a few steps from here!" " it's close, come on." "But we do as I say." "At the first quarrel, I'll go away." "As you say." "Now I'll set my rules." "I'll make my Manifesto." "You've gone beyond, Julio." "One:" "I won't fuck with any of you."
