I'm begging you. How much?

It's 180,000 pesos. But I can't show you the room at this time.

Look, I can pay three months' in advance.

It's 180,000.

For three...

UtiIities are incIuded,

but the kitchen and bathroom are shared.

And I Iock the door at 10:30 p.m.

Okay, but pIease Iet me in quick.

- Don't you have more stuff? - No.

Come in.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Can I use the bathroom?

See if it's free.

Thanks.

Hey!

There's a cockroach in the bathroom.

KiII it.

Good morning.

SALESWOMAN WANTED, 18 TO 25

Good morning.

- Hi. Can I heIp you? - Are you taking resumes?

No, we don't need staff at the moment.

- It's not because of my age, right? - No. Of course not.

But if you'd Iike to Ieave me your resume,

Oh yes, thanks. I reaIIy appreciate it.

Mm, how about that?

And so...?

So take a coId shower.

- Hi Mom. - I'm coming down.

What happened?

He hit you? Cheated on you?

No, Mom.

You know,

when your dad and I were young,

we had a reaIIy big argument.

It was a rainy night,

but I decided to pack my stuff and Ieave him.

But when I went to get on the bus back to Tunja,

he stopped me

and convinced me not to Ieave him.

The next day we found out

that the bus I was going to take had crashed

and many peopIe were kiIIed and injured.

That day we reaIized

we had to stay together for Iife...

untiI death do us part.

But sIeeping in different rooms, no?

But under the same roof.

Look, Mom, aII I ask

is that you Iet me stay here untiI I find a job.

My Iove, this is your home,

but you beIong with Mario.

PIease caII him.

I'm going to take a shower.

What are you taIking about? Why?

TaIk to him, okay?

Okay. TeII him I'm coming.

WeII, I'II Ieave you aIone, so you can taIk.

- How are you? - Fine. And you?

Fine.

Here.

Thanks. They're beautifuI.

Karen, I have to teII you...

I'm a fooI.

Sometimes I say things that I don't mean.

I've come to apoIogize.

I know we are in a crisis.

I know that if we both try harder,

we can make things better than before.

Look, Iet's go out to dinner...

so we can reIax and taIk.

What do you think?

Hey, I've been waiting for awhiIe now.

It's not a probIem. I can wait for you.

I'm waiting for you. Bye.

- Mario, how are you? - Sandra, what are you doing here?

- I'm meeting a friend, but he's Iate. - This is my wife.

- Hi. I'm Sandra. - Nice to meet you. I'm Karen.

WeII, why don't you join us whiIe you wait for your friend?

- AII right. - Okay, come on.

House red wine.

- Three gIasses? - Yes, pIease.

A gIass of white for me, pIease.

Sure.

Excuse me. HeIIo. What's up?

Okay.

No no no, not a probIem. Okay. Bye.

Thanks.

It seems that my friend has a probIem and can't make it.

WeII, Iooks Iike you'II have to join us.

No, I don't want to impose.

It's not a probIem, is it, darIing?

WeII, Iet's order.

WeII, I know you gave the quote. FuII or basic coverage?

FuII coverage, of course. You know.

I incIuded injury, coverage against Iosses,

even coverage for heavy machinery.

- And they approved? - What do you think, Mario?

WonderfuI! WeII, then Iet's toast to that Iucrative commission.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

And what exactIy is this business?

WeII, company stuff-- High-risk insurance,

heavy machinery, you know.

And by the way, Karen, what do you do?

At the moment I'm a housewife.

I Iove reading. I'm reading Ibsen's ''A DoII's House'' at the moment.

- Do you know it? - Yes, of course-- the pIay.

It's the same author who wrote ''The GIass Menagerie'' right?

- No, that was Tennessee WiIIiams. - Ah, of course. Tennessee WiIIiams.

You know ''A DoII's House,'' darIing, right?

I don't know anything about noveIs. You know, honey...

We're taIking about pIays, Mario.

See? I have no idea!

Don't forget the appointment on Monday

with the cIients to see whether they accept the offer.

Oh yes, I got the message. At 9:00, right?

Yes, at 9.00.

Karen. Karen.

Mario, I want a divorce.

I need to be aIone.

I need to be my own person.

AIone...

So teII me one thing, Karen.

How wiII you manage on your own?

You cannot do anything.

Can you get me my jacket, pIease?

You know what?

I have done everything I couId.

If you want to go, just go.

This is the Iast chance I wiII give you.

I don't want to see you coming back asking for forgiveness.

What wouId you say if I offered you an EngIish course compIeteIy free

for the first three months? WouId you take it?

- WeII, yeah. Yes. - That's preciseIy what you have to do--

offer peopIe free EngIish courses.

SimpIe as that.

But I don't understand. I offer courses for free?

ObviousIy, peopIe have to buy the materiaIs, Iike in any other schooI.

It's simpIe.

So when wiII I start?

First, I have to test you.

I wiII give you three forms.

If you get at Ieast three cIients, you'II be hired immediateIy.

And you pay me for the test, right?

Not exactIy-- not with money,

but you'II be empIoyed by us.

Let me give you some advice.

I don't do it for anybody. I'm doing it for you because I Iike you.

Why don't you start with your famiIy? Your uncIes, your cousins--

they can heIp you.

And then you wouId be officiaIIy hired straight away.

Okay. I'm going to try. Thank you very much.

Good morning, sir. How are you? I'm here on behaIf of American Dream.

Good morning, sir. How are you? I'm here on behaIf of American Dream.

I'm offering reaIIy good EngIish courses...

- No. I'm not interested right now. - The first three months are free.

Thanks, but not now. Thanks.

- I can give you a form. - Not now. I'm busy.

Okay. Thanks.

But this is a speciaI offer-- the first three months for free.

Okay. Thanks.

WeII, maybe, if you expIain it to me. My EngIish is reaIIy bad.

I compIeteIy understand. This is why we are offering these courses.

If you Iet me in, I can expIain everything to you.

Just teII me when you want to start.

But you're sure that we don't have to pay anything up front?

CompIeteIy sure.

ShaII we fiII in the form?

- Okay. - Perfect.

- What is the boy's name? - AIejandro.

WouId you Iike a form?

NO SOLICITING

Can I give you a form? Are you interested?

No.

Okay, thanks.

Hi. I broke the key.

That's just what I needed.

I don't know if I have something to open it.

What have you done to it?

I'm going to ring the beII.

I'm sorry.

Magda doesn't open the door at this hour.

Give me my handbag.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Let's go.

Okay, I've found someone who can heIp us out.

I'm sorry. It's aII my fauIt.

Hey, thanks for the other night.

Do you want a beer?

No thanks. You've aIready done a Iot for me.

If I had to pay for it, I wouIdn't have asked. HonestIy.

Barmaid! Two beers, pIease.

- Thanks. - You're weIcome.

And you reaIIy don't know anybody around here?

No, I don't know anybody here.

That's strange, because you're married, right?

Or aren't you?

The ring is just an accessory?

No. But I don't want to taIk about it now.

It's funny. I knew that you wouId be Iike that.

- Like what? - Like that, Iike you are.

Why? What do you mean?

Because of your haircut.

- And now you are a psychic? - I'm a hair styIist.

- You finaIIy caII me, eh, bIondie? - Hi honey.

Karen, this is my boyfriend who I toId you about before.

Look,

I'm going to ask you two favors:

first, don't get in too Iate;

second, don't have parties.

Hey, but give me some money, pIease.

Okay. How much?

WeII, I have a guest.

Okay, I have to go.

What's going on? I thought the guy in the car was your boyfriend.

Oh, no. I wish he was my boyfriend.

He's married.

So who was that guy?

That's just an idiot that I use for money now and then.

No, we haven't asked for anything eIse.

The guys at the bar bought you them.

- No, but we don't want-- - Excuse me, but they've aIready paid.

What's wrong with you? It's free beer.

Just put on your best smiIe.

- Karen, Karen. - Listen...

- WeII, thank you very much. - We can come in for awhiIe, no?

The sun is rising. Come on, just a IittIe whiIe.

- We had a good time, didn't we? - No, no.

ReaIIy. That's enough.

- Karen. - I'II have a Iast sip.

Karen.

WeII, thanks a Iot. ReaIIy.

- Keep in touch. - I'II caII you.

- See you Iater. - Bye, Karen.

- We had a good time. No compIaints. - I'II never be abIe to get rid of him.

Look, honey, Iesson one.

You never give your reaI number.

Otherwise, you can't shake them off.

Come on, that's shameIess.

Just a IittIe bit.

And Horacio?

He's at work. So it's not a probIem.

No, miss. Thank you.

I haven't even asked you yet. PIease.

No, thanks.

Not at the moment. Thank you.

Thank you. At the moment, no.

- Good afternoon. - HeIIo.

The Iunch options are Ajiaco, Mondongo,

vegetabIe soup and the main course.

I'II have the vegetabIe soup and the main course, pIease.

Sure.

One order of vegetabIe soup with main dish. Hurry up, girI!

- Something wrong, ma'am? - My bag has been stoIen.

- You're sure it was here? - I'm sure.

I arrived, and I hung it here when I sat down.

It was a big, bIack Ieather bag.

I have no money to pay you.

What?

And so?

What do we do?

Look, I'II Ieave you my ring as a guarantee

and tomorrow I'II come and pay, okay?

- UntiI tomorrow onIy. - Yes, sir. I promise.

''No money to pay.''

- Thank you very much. - Eating for free.

I know that's the ruIes, but you toId me one thing

I know that's the ruIes, but you toId me one thing

and now you're saying another.

Now I need to seII two more courses? This is a scam.

You're misIeading peopIe.

I'm going to sue. Stay here if you want to be ripped off.

Now you'II fIy over there.

Oh, you broke your back.

- Hi! - Hi.

- What's your name? - Karen. And yours?

- Sergio. - How oId are you?

- Five. - Guess how oId I am.

- 16? - Don't bother the Iady.

- I'm not bothering her! - He isn't bothering me. Don't worry.

- Bye, Sergio. - Come on, son. My apoIogies.

- AIejandro, some cigarettes, pIease. - Sure, Mr. Enrique.

I'II give them to you right away.

HeIIo.

Excuse me. My bag was stoIen and I have no money to take the bus.

Can you heIp me out?

- No. I don't have any money. - Thanks.

- Look. Take it. - Thank you so much. ReaIIy, thanks.

Hi, ma'am, excuse me. My bag was stoIen.

Can you spare me any money for the bus?

Can you spare me any money for the bus?

Thank you very much. Thanks.

Thank you very much. God bIess you.

- My purse was stoIen. - I have no money.

- You need money? - Yes.

- My pIeasure. - Thank you very much, sir.

Thank you.

No, honey, that's aII I've got.

I've onIy got enough for the bus. I'm sorry.

They've stoIen my waIIet. Can you give me money for the bus?

I need 100 pesos more to pay for the bus.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Can you spare some change?

Or a bite?

Don't bother the customers. Go away!

Karen.

Are you there?

It's open.

I was asIeep.

AIberto chose to stay with his wife tonight.

Today is my birthday and I don't want to spend it bored and aIone.

And Horacio?

Working.

- Do you have pIans for tonight? - No.

I'm going to stay here.

You want to join me?

Look, I'm aII dressed up.

I was supposed to have a date with AIberto, but he stood me up...

on my birthday.

Change your face!

- I don't Iike aII this, Patricia! - What?

I don't Iike it. I don't Iike this music.

I don't Iike the crowds.

Here.

Come on, come on, come on.

Drink it aII-- aII of it.

AII of it, aII of it.

Okay, but with you-- a toast to your birthday.

Okay, sounds good.

Cheers! To my birthday!

To you!

- Drink drink drink. - No, I don't want it.

Karen! It's for my birthday! It's a gift.

- Come on, move. - I don't know how to dance to this.

You're gonna faII asIeep on me. No, sir. Have another drink.

I Iike to see you Iike this!

Bottoms up.

FeeI better?

I feeI ugIy...

and oId.

You're not ugIy or oId. You are a very pretty woman.

I think what you need is a guy who Ioves you

as you deserve.

No, Patricia, I don't need that.

Of course you do. One naiI drives out another.

I speak from experience.

I was aIso in Iove.

The onIy man I ever Ioved in my Iife, I think.

And when it was over, I thought I was going to die.

But before Iong I met another guy

and I moved on.

And what about Horacio and AIberto?

That's different. It's not Iove.

I'm not going to give anyone eIse my heart for them to fuck with it.

Have you never done it just for pIeasure?

I've onIy ever sIept with my husband.

And you Ioved him?

Listen.

You have to take aII these things that you're feeIing now

and use them to your own advantage.

You are a very pretty and smart woman.

Don't be afraid of Iiving Iife and taking risks...

Iike I do.

WeII, see you tomorrow.

I'm going to sIeep now.

See you tomorrow.

HeIIo. My bag was stoIen.

Can you spare me some money for the bus?

Thanks a Iot. Thanks a Iot.

HeIIo. My bag was stoIen.

Can you spare me some money for the bus?

I don't have anything-- just my own change.

I'm so gIad to see you, honey.

AIberto has asked us to go out tonight.

What do you mean he asked ''us'' to go out tonight?

WeII, I think it's a good idea.

No, Patricia, I can't, reaIIy.

You have nothing to do tonight,

so don't teII me you can't.

Karen, just for a bit.

How exactIy do you think I can go out

when I can't even afford to eat breakfast?

Come on, I'm going to get you something nice to eat

and then after that we can Iook for jobs.

Okay. You go and I'II catch up with you Iater.

Okay, but don't be too Iong.

WeII, honey, it's better than nothing.

It's not the best job in the worId, but at Ieast you can make some money.

I'II Iook out for something better and Iet you know.

- Thanks. - I have to go to work now. I'm Iate.

- Okay, thanks. - Good Iuck.

- Thanks. Goodbye. - You're weIcome. Bye.

Karen? Karen!

- Hi. - Hi!

- How are you? - Nice to see you.

- How are you? - Fine fine. And you?

- What are you doing here? - I've just come from the office.

- And you? How's Iife? - Fine. I'm just waIking about.

- It's so nice around here. - Yeah, it's nice.

- You got married, right? - Yes, I got married. I did.

- And you? How's Iife treating you? - Fine fine.

I have two girIs, I'm married.

ActuaIIy, I'm in a bit of a rush right now.

Give me your mobiIe number and I'II caII you.

Mafe, you know what? I Iost my phone

- and haven't got a new one yet. - Your home number, then.

ActuaIIy, I just moved. I haven't got a IandIine yet.

Give me your card and I'II caII you.

Yes, yes, sure. Let me give you my card.

Let me give you my business card.

Listen,

the extension number, my office number

and the Iast one is my mobiIe.

- Perfect. I'II caII you. - CaII me.

- Sure. Nice to see you. - Same.

- Bye, Karen. - Bye.

Truth is, Eduardo and I met in coIIege when he was studying engineering.

But you never finished the course. Why?

I studied engineering because my dad wanted another engineer in the famiIy.

But after a year I reaIized that it wasn't what I wanted to do.

No no no. Sorry to interrupt Eduardo, but that's not true.

Ladies, what reaIIy happened is that Eduardo is a bohemian, an avid writer.

He prefers being in front of a computer or a typewriter,

occupied with things that onIy he understands. Is this not true?

Yes, I Iike writing. I decided to dedicate myseIf to Iiterature,

but it's not a big deaI.

HonestIy, you shouId dedicate yourseIf to something eIse.

Reading is so boring. PeopIe don't Iike it.

Okay, so what do you Iike doing then?

I don't know, but something active and exciting.

But imagine yourseIf just sitting there turning pages. What a drag!

I agree.

I Iove extreme sports.

In fact, I've recentIy started skydiving.

You know what? One of these days we shouId aII go together.

- What do you think? - No.

- Karen? Let's go! - No, thanks.

- So how did it go with the fIyers? - Fine.

And what did you think of the guy that AIberto brought for you?

- AII right. - Do you Iike him or not?

Charming, that's aII.

I thought he was pretty boring.

Did you see his oId-schooI haircut? He Iooks Iike a granddad. No, darIing.

Patricia, that's not important. Don't be siIIy.

And what about AIberto, eh?

Gorgeous, no?

- He invited us to his apartment. - No, I'm not going.

- What about his wife? - Why not?

That cow is away somewhere. I don't know, I don't care.

No, Patricia, I'm not going. SeriousIy.

Yes, you are. Come on.

I promise next time I'II teII AIberto to bring you someone decent.

Because that guy, no.

There wiII be no ''next time.''

FinaIIy!

HoId this.

We must come back, no?

- I'II pay by card, okay? - Yes, sir.

- And can you cIear the tabIe? Thanks. - Okay.

- Can I take this to go, pIease? - Sure.

For a homeIess kid who Iives near us.

CongratuIations on the beautifuI apartment, AIberto.

- Make yourseIf at home. - Gorgeous. I Iove the firepIace.

ReaIIy? And you haven't even seen the bedroom yet.

- You want to see it? - Show me.

- Okay. Make yourseIves at home, guys. - Have fun.

- Thanks. - Patricia, don't be too Iong.

- Which way? - Right there.

- AIberto, don't be too Iong. - Okay.

Do you want to hear music?

Let me see what's around here.

Let me see.

Nothing.

There's nothing good to Iisten to.

WeII, I'm not so sure about that.

- Are we going to the terrace? - Fine, it's okay.

What are you writing at the moment?

- I've just finished a pIay. - ReaIIy?

- Yes. - When I was at schooI, I Ioved acting.

We performed ''La CeIestina'' and I pIayed MeIibea.

- ReaIIy? And are you stiII acting? - No.

And even if I did it again, I'd have to be CeIestina. Look at me.

PIease, don't exaggerate.

But you wouId Iike to act again?

I'd Iove to. ReaIIy.

Okay.

And what are you doing now?

Do you reaIIy want to know?

If you don't mind.

I am...

painting my Iife...

- repainting it. - Nice.

ReaIIy.

Yes. It's difficuIt, but I'm getting there.

- Hey, what's up? - Hi.

- What's up, bIondie? - Everything's okay.

- Okay. - This is my friend.

- You'II Iook out for her, right? - Of course. ObviousIy, bIondie!

I've seen you before at the bus stops.

Here's a present for you.

Thanks.

Where've you been?

- Why are you getting home so Iate? - What are you doing here?

What do you mean? I've been waiting for you. Where've you been?

With Karen, can't you see?

Who were you with? Why didn't you pick up your phone?

I didn't pick up because I couIdn't.

ReaIIy? Why couIdn't you? Who were you with?

Horacio, Iet's taIk tomorrow, okay?

Let's taIk tomorrow? Why can't we taIk now? It's aIready ''tomorrow.''

Have you seen the time?

ExactIy. We're reaIIy tired, so Iet's taIk tomorrow.

Why won't you teII me who you were with, bIondie?

Hey! Why won't you teII me who you were with?

I was with five guys!

Why do you treat me Iike this?

Let's taIk tomorrow, okay?

TaIk about what?

You're right.

I've had it with you. Fuck off.

Don't foIIow me or caII me. Fuck off!

- Come on, baby, don't be Iike that. - Don't ''baby'' me. Fuck off.

Let's taIk, okay?

Come on, I've been waiting for you for five hours.

I don't care how Iong you've been waiting.

Can't you see I want to go to sIeep? Fuck off.

Aren't you embarrassed in front of Karen?

Get Iost, Horacio.

You know what I'm capabIe of.

Don't make me think any worse of you. Just go away and do whatever you want.

You're not scaring me with this nonsense. Get Iost.

Idiot.

Fuck off, Horacio!

You'II see.

PIease come with me, ma'am. We have to search you.

In your underwear, pIease.

How are we going to resoIve this?

Because you have to pay me three times the cost of the things you stoIe.

Sir, I have no money.

It's simpIe.

CaII a reIative, a friend, somebody to bring you the money.

I don't know anybody around here.

Okay, then I have no option but to caII the poIice.

No, pIease. I'm begging you, sir.

What did you steaI?

Deodorant and some sanitary toweIs.

You know what? Just go.

Just go, but don't ever come to this supermarket again, you hear me?

HeIIo.

Are you Ieaving?

Where are you going?

Very nice, very nice.

- That puppet was awesome. - Yeah, reaIIy good.

But I think he was fIirting with you.

WeII, I have a certain charm. Don't you think?

Without a doubt.

So I'II see you again, won't I?

- Yes, of course. - Okay.

Do you know the East Tower?

WeII, my office is on the roof.

I'm there Monday through Friday in the afternoon.

You can come whenever you want without an appointment.

- I'II surprise you. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

Excuse me, ma'am. What's wrong?

Oh, sir, somebody stoIe my bag and Ieft me with nothing.

- But are you okay? Did they harm you? - No, I'm fine.

Be patient. Anyway, you can get the materiaI things back.

I can heIp you out, if you Iike.

I'd reaIIy appreciate it if you couId, because I need to get home.

Thank you, sir. Goodbye.

Thanks.

Done.

- Thank you. - Okay.

- Have you chosen, honey? - Yes. I Iike this.

What?

It's okay, I Iike it. Come on.

You'II Iook gorgeous.

I hope so.

Move your hair, pIease.

And how is AIberto?

He asked me to move in with him.

Can I teII you something?

- I feeI reaIIy sorry for his wife. - No. Why sorry?

That woman is horribIe to him.

- Ready? - Do it.

You know what? I've never been to Monserrate.

ReaIIy?

WouId you Iike to come with me?

No.

Why?

You don't know the story?

What do you mean? What?

They say that coupIes who go to Monserrate wiII never get married.

WeII, I think I'm going to cIose the office for today.

I want to take you somewhere.

Bring me the biII, pIease. Thanks.

But this one's on me.

No.

Yes.

A Iong time ago we Iooked Iike shadows.

I know, darIing. I know.

Where is it?

I don't know, darIing. I don't know.

I gave it to you to Iook after on the first day,

- the same day that I accepted you. - I know, darIing. I know.

Then where the heII have you put it?!

If it weren't for this, we wouId be free.

- I don't know, darIing. - Shut up!

Don't caII me that! I haven't been your darIing for a Iong time now.

And yet, I can't get away from here.

I need to find her.

If you teII me, I swear to you I'II forget aII the bad memories.

But if we don't find her,

the bad ones wiII destroy the good ones...

If I couId take somebody's hand...

If I couId ask somebody where she is.

HeIp me!

Do you know where she is?

But how couId you know? You don't even exist.

You are the same as me-- the same.

of the masterpiece you have just seen.

- But you brought it to Iife. - A minor roIe.

Everyone, here is our star writer!

HonestIy, I can't. I have to work tomorrow.

No, don't say that.

Your boyfriend is a genius. Pedro's direction was reaIIy good.

You were great as weII; and the guys, exceIIent.

Thank you so much.

- Excuse me one moment. Persuade her. - Of course.

WeII, here we are.

Goodbye.

I'm ashamed that you've seen me Iike this.

Don't be siIIy. You've seen me worse.

Was it because of AIberto?

Look at me.

Remember that you are a reaIIy beautifuI person, fuII of Iife.

You're--

you're a wonderfuI person...

and you'II get over it, right?

That's not true.

What do you mean?

I'm not even bIonde. I'm a fake.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

- HeIIo. - Hi Mom.

Say heIIo to your mommy.

- Go to say heIIo to your mommy! - Mom, don't force her.

Ah, my waIIet! Come on, run!

Run and get it from her.

Come on, son.

And the IittIe duck has arrived.

LittIe missy?

Very good. One, two, three.

Very good.

Come for the IittIe duck.

Patricia, why didn't you teII me?

Because it's not easy.

That'II be my mom.

I need to taIk. I promise to Ieave after that.

PIease.

Let's go.

- At your service. What wouId you Iike? - Two cappuccinos, pIease.

We don't have cappuccino. Just bIack coffee or Iatte.

- Okay, two Iattes. - Sure.

- I'II have a beer, instead of a Iatte. - Sure.

Karen, I know that I made a Iot of mistakes...

that I wasn't a good husband,

- that... - Don't apoIogize, pIease.

Our marriage was a mistake. I was never the woman for you.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

You Iook good with short hair.

- And how's business? - Fine fine.

I finished the thing I was working on with Sandra and, weII,

now we're waiting for other projects.

And are you working?

I'm doing this and that around here.

And your ring?

You're not wearing it.

Do you want to know the truth?

Are you seeing someone?

Listen...

I had to pawn the ring because I had no money to pay for a meaI.

- Why didn't you teII me? - And...

our reIationship was over before I Ieft, wasn't it?

ShaII we get the biII?

Ma'am. The biII.

- How much is it? - 3,000 pesos.

Let me get it.

- My pIeasure, pIease come again. - Thank you.

WeII, when wiII I see you again?

I don't know Mario. I'II caII you sometime, okay?

- Okay. - Goodbye.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Someone caIIed for you. - Who?

They caIIed from the bookstore where you Ieft your resume,

to offer you a job.

They want you to get over there as soon as possibIe.

Thanks. Bye. I'II see you Iater.

Okay, good Iuck.

HeIIo.

You know I hate it when peopIe turn up Iate.

Yes yes. I'm sorry.

But I had to do some things at the Iast minute

and I couIdn't caII you.

But Iet's not argue about it.

Yes, you're right.

I have good news.

Me too!

No. You teII me first.

I got a job in a bookstore.

That's good.

I'm so happy. It's Iike everything is beginning to faII into pIace.

I'm so happy for you.

And what's your news?

I've been hired to go write in Argentina.

- Because you sent them the pIay? - Yes.

- Wow, I'm impressed! - Thank you.

But there's a second part--

I want you to come with me.

Look, it's perfect. It's the chance we've been waiting for,

an opportunity to be together, away from everything.

You're right.

Let's go?

Let's go.

- I Iike you better with Iong hair. - Come on, Mom!

Mario misses you a Iot.

I'm here to say goodbye.

- Where are you going? - To Argentina.

And Mario?

My reIationship with Mario was over a Iong time ago, Mom.

You have to understand.

I knew it. He's absoIuteIy right.

You're going crazy. Think, pIease!

You wiII never understand me, right?

You know what, Mom?

I Iove you.

But I'm Ieaving. And I'II be fine. ReaIIy.

Give me a hug.

You know what? I'm feeIing bad about Ieaving the bookstore.

Don't worry about that.

With my income in Argentina we have enough for both of us.

Can you pass me my jacket, pIease?

I can't.
