Original subtitles

Bastard! Go fuck yourself!

- Drive faster, please. - Faster! Faster!

This isn't an airplane.

My dear?

- Where are you, Mom? - Near the hotel.

- Everyone's here. - The King and Queen too?

Of course, they're the hosts.

You go and join the line-up. I'll be there soon.

Don't be long, Mom.

Given that they are in Paris to open the Goya exhibition...

...the King and Queen of Spain...

...are giving a dinner to celebrate...

...their 30th wedding anniversary. Guests include...

...the French President and his wife...

...the Spanish Ambassador to Paris...

...representatives of the European monarchies...

Monaco has just arrived.

Monaco is now inside. Keep an eye on the entrance.

Control from exterior. Is all in order in the hall?

There's a bit of a hold-up, but all as planned.

What about you, Santi?

All quiet.

Isn't that Diana Balaguer...

...the banker's widow? - She's been elegant...

...all her life.

- What she's been is clever. - Because of the money she has?

Your Majesty.

LOVE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH

His Majesty left his glasses in his room...

...and he has to read a speech.

- You shouldn't run at your age. - I'm in top form, kid.

If you don't believe me, ask my wife.

- Has that guest recovered? - Yes, she's conscious again.

Our girls took her up to the first floor.

It was nothing serious.

- Was there a doctor there? - Yes, the Russian ambassador.

Where did he leave them?

- Santi, don't touch anything. - Just shut up, Martínez.

If you can't find them, lend him yours.

Or pray to St. Rita.

What about the bathroom?

Here they are! I've got them!

Santiago, open the door!

I have to talk to you, it's urgent!

I can't talk now, Diana.

I wouldn't make a fuss if it weren't so important.

Just three minutes!

Santiago!

You know I'm capable of hammering the door down!

If you don't...

Are you crazy?

Why ask me if you know that I am?

How did you manage to get invited to the dinner?

Another absurd question, given that you know me.

I have to bring the King his glasses.

He doesn't wear glasses.

He does now.

We're all getting old.

I've been waiting ten years for an apology.

The King can wait...

...three minutes, I think.

What do you want, Diana?

I could have rotted waiting for you in that airport.

It would seem you haven't done too badly since then.

At the last minute, you got scared.

Admit it...

...and I'll leave this room right now.

All right, I was shit scared. Are you happy now?

- Got a problem, Santi? - What?

You're talking to yourself.

No, everything's all right.

Diana, let's go.

This isn't the time or the place to argue.

See?

You still love me.

I don't love you.

Really, I don't love you at all.

I don't give a damn about you.

I know you hate to admit it...

...but we were made for each other.

No, we were made for everyone but each other.

You want me to laugh?

I just want you to go.

You'd never have run away with me to Athens.

What do you know?

Your time's up. I have to go.

Give me back the glasses.

No!

They belong to your King, your head of state.

You're guilty of...

...disrespect. - It's your fault!

When I see you, I always end up doing what I shouldn't.

Diana!

I'll do what I should have done when I met you.

What?

Kill you!

- Have you changed your cologne? - Stop, we're too old for this!

See what you've done?

You're...

- You're... - What am I?

There are no words to define what you are!

You just won't admit it was your fault!

- Forget about me! - I can't, you idiot!

If only I could.

Be careful, darling!

You're making me nervous, all right?

Yes.

I'll keep quiet now.

Wait, hold on to me!

Your hand's cold.

My hands were cold when you met me thirty years ago.

- What do they see in them? - I don't know.

If they even sang well.

My father is a shareholder of the hotel!

The press conference is for accredited journalists.

This is my accreditation!

- That's a Polo Club card. - Really?

I changed my bag.

Please leave the hotel now and stop causing problems.

Diana!

- What's going on? - Gonzalo, do you see this?

What did you do?

Nothing!

Let the young lady go at once.

Who are you?

The nephew of someone very important.

- Do you know her? - Of course.

Her family is as important as mine.

All right, but she can't go to the press conference.

Imagine!

They thought I was another hysterical Beatle fan.

What do they have?

You can't tell from behind if they're boys or girls.

How's your family?

Don't tell Dad you saw me. I should be at college, but...

But what?

I don't have to tell you.

I'm an adult now.

I won't say anything, provided you and I have a serious talk.

Will this take all day?

What about tennis on Saturday morning?

Sorry, I have to go.

Santi!

Take these guitars up to the English guys' rooms.

Yes, sir.

Yes, excuse me, I was just...

Thank you, good-bye.

You aren't English.

This is the Duo Dinámico.

And so?

Get out of here now or I'll call the housekeeper.

Come on.

Here's 25 pesetas, be quiet.

- Get out, please. - I just want...

...a memento of John. He's the most important man in my life.

No one will ever know!

Anyway, they're English, so they're our enemies...

...till they give back Gibraltar!

I don't care!

I've only been working here a week.

I'd do anything...

...to get a memento of him.

I'd do anything.

All right.

Good.

But you must be quick.

Of everything you see...

...what would you take?

Will you help me find something nice?

Will this do?

Maybe if he'd chewed it.

I'm off duty in half an hour.

What about a gin fizz?

Did you say something?

No.

A handkerchief is a good memento. It's got...

What is this?

Don't look, I'm naked.

No! No! No!

- You can't do this. - Go away or I'll scream.

But...

Go away now, and no one will blame you.

If the "Bayatlay" comes?

Who?

The "Bayatlay"!

- It's "Beatle". - I don't care.

What if he comes?

That's what I want.

For him to come.

For him to come and find me.

Naked in his bed?

Yes.

Why?

I made a promise to the Virgin. Why do you think?

How old are you?

Stay there or I'll say you tried to rape me.

Let go of me!

Let go, you animal!

You'd get in a guy's bed just because he's famous?

I want to be with John! I want to marry him!

Neither you nor my father will stop me from going with John.

You hurt me, you idiot!

I'll never forgive you!

Come on, let's go! Come on!

Come on, get up!

I'm sorry, did I hurt you?

Come on, stop playacting.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Quit fucking me around!

The "Bayatlays"!

No, not Ruth. Rita.

I don't understand.

What's going on?

Is that him?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand you.

At school here in Spain...

...we learn French.

What are you doing? Hey! What are you doing?

Who is that slut?

He's kissing her!

How can he kiss someone so vulgar?

Why is she vulgar?

Look at her sandals.

No, not Ruth. Rita.

Rita!

Really...

...I can't stay very long.

- I'll kill her! - Shut up!

Did I hurt you?

Your hands are cold.

- Get me out of here, please. - Not yet, it's impossible.

Don't you see that I can't bear this humiliation?

Close up, you have lovely eyes.

And he's got a corn on his left foot.

- Let go of that! - No!

Let go of it! Go on, let go!

Take it if you dare.

Pig! Touch me again and I'll scream!

Why are you breathing so hard?

I'm tired after all this effort.

And what is it that feels so hard down here?

- No, please, don't do that. - I'm not doing anything.

- It'll be your fault. - What'll be my fault?

What are you doing?

Are you stupid?

The sock!

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

They'll catch us!

Hey, can you give me...

...your autograph?

Will you write here...

..."To Rita, with love".

Peasant!

I hate him! He's the most insensitive man in the world!

He'd sleep with someone who doesn't even understand him!

Down with the Beatles! Up with the Rolling Stones!

I'm off duty in 15 minutes.

Why don't we...

That's enough!

Stop acting so stupid!

Sure.

I'm acting stupid...

...but it was you who stained your pants.

Why did you do that?

You're playing the same game as I am.

Hey!

What's your name?

Diana!

Why did I let you drive without a licence?

The soldier didn't look where he was going!

- What's the brake for? - I didn't have time!

- And the traffic light was green. - What traffic light?

I saw a traffic light!

You made me nervous.

Brake, change gear, put on the indicator...

How can I do all that at once?

I'll be late at the clinic, and this is my big day.

Gonzalo, what if I've killed him?

He's a soldier.

- Will I be court marshalled? - You only bumped him, idiot.

You heard him.

I only bumped you, so you can get up.

It's just shock.

I'd say that's all.

- Let's go, then. - We can't leave him here.

- Why not? - It's against the law!

Then help me to lift him up.

No, I'll get the clinic to send an ambulance.

My kitbag!

It's over there.

What happened?

You jumped out on top of me. Well, on top of my car.

Wait, I'll help you. Come on.

You're the girl from the "Bayatlays".

What?

I know you.

It's the shock.

Really, I know you.

We were under a bed, don't you remember?

I've never been under a bed in my life.

What time is it?

It's 12.15.

I've to catch a train in 20 minutes...

...or they'll think I've deserted.

I'm in a hurry too, so come on.

Up you get!

Try to walk.

- I think I've broken something. - It's psychological.

Get in.

My kitbag!

When a man gets an idea in his head...

Have you got a body in here?

You mightn't remember, but I know I'm right.

I'd remember.

I have a good memory for faces.

You're in first gear. Let in the clutch and go into neutral.

Smart ass.

I said not to move him!

Get in. He insisted, he's in a big hurry too.

- Look, I have to catch a train. - Not until a doctor sees you.

What's that?

The anesthetic.

Am I the millionth patient?

The Prince had a son.

Who?

The Prince. The baby was born here an hour ago.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

I brought a kitbag with me.

Yes, you can try in the nurses' room.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Why can't you introduce me? - Because I can't, Diana!

- You don't want to. - Thanks to you, I missed the birth.

You mean, I bought this outfit for nothing!

- The Prince needs privacy. - I see a lot of people here.

They're family, politicians, aristocrats.

- We can't just march in there. - Why not, darling?

If you loved me...

Gonzalo.

You're wanted in Casualty.

Call me tonight.

I may not be at home.

Hey, have you seen my kitbag?

- It's in the car. - May I have it?

The next train leaves in an hour and I can't miss it.

- Fantastic! - What's fantastic?

- The uniform. - It itches a bit.

- You must help me. - To do what?

- To get in there. - No, I have to go.

- That would pay me back. - For what?

- Well, I brought you here. - I didn't ask to be knocked down.

Excuse me.

- Here. - What do I do with this?

- Who's your general? - Díaz Campos. Why?

Follow me, and whatever I say agree with me.

Good afternoon. I'm the daughter of General Díaz Campos.

He asked me to deliver these flowers to the Princess.

Go ahead.

Come on!

The little Princesses!

They're gorgeous!

Lt'll be the firing squad.

I love that man!

He was so keen to have a son!

- Thank you for your visit. - Thank you.

To Prince Felipe!

Long live the King!

I mean, the Prince.

Hurrah!

This train is about to depart.

Thanks for the lift.

It was the least I could do.

Well.

It's late, I have to go.

Good-bye.

It was three years ago, but I know it was you.

Not that again.

I've got proof.

I can understand that you're embarrassed.

Embarrassed?

What's that?

I kept it as a memento.

Give it back.

If you were never in the hotel, it isn't yours.

I bet you use it to impress the other soldiers with your girl.

Impress them?

You look like Betty Rubble.

Idiot!

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Excuse me.

Yes?

Is this compartment 4?

No, the next one.

Thank you.

Diana!

Diana!

Diana!

I told you to give me back the photo!

I love you!

Careful!

The accident.

- I won't touch you. - But I want you to touch me.

- Yes, but... - Hold me!

- Are you sure? - Yes, hold me tight.

- Like this? - Tighter.

Tighter?

You've been in my mind for three years.

Really?

The names I've given you!

Marta, Teresa, Raquel.

- But not Diana? - No.

Never Diana.

Diana was the Roman goddess of hunting.

My father loves hunting.

Don't start again or I'll pull the emergency brake.

I wouldn't stop.

I wouldn't stop.

I can't take any more, Santi. It's been five hours.

A magician could saw me in half and I'd feel nothing.

- I've got it all figured out. - Yes?

In Algeciras, we'll take the ferry to Ceuta.

My friends there will get us over the border.

Then Mauritania, Senegal...

What if you're arrested?

I re-enlisted to get my commercial pilot's license.

You know how long it takes to get it?

- No. - Ten years.

If you desert, you can never go back to Spain.

I don't care, if I have you.

What's wrong?

- Nothing. - We love each other, don't we?

Yes.

But it's a big responsibility.

I won't let you go.

What if we're making a mistake, Santi?

The only mistake is to do nothing.

How will we live?

I've got two hands.

And so have you.

What does that mean?

That together we can change the world.

Look.

I'm a bit drunk.

But not drunk enough.

The head of your clinic was so nice.

And his daughter is so elegant.

She isn't his daughter, she's his wife.

Then I put my foot in it.

You were terrific.

Everyone adores you.

Switch on the bedside lamp, please.

See how it sparkles?

Both of you sparkle.

Won't you tell me how much it cost?

Just tell me one thing.

Four noughts...

...or five?

You mustn't be afraid of anything.

I'll be very careful. It'll be all right.

Are you afraid?

Will we drink a toast?

I like things which are only there to look nice.

To our love.

To our love.

I'm going to get changed.

Don't start without me.

A few months ago...

...when they met on the Greek multimillionaire's yacht...

...no one could have...

Didn't Jacqueline turn out to be very smart?

It's a disgrace.

She's free to do as she wants.

Is that what you learn at university?

The Americans must be really mad with her.

Some more coffee?

Santi and I must have a private talk.

At least, I imagine so.

- That's why I'm here, sir. - You're not to scare him.

We'll see.

You're still very young.

I'll get it.

Who can it be...

...at this time?

Look, Santi.

Mari Jose is my only daughter.

I don't intend to make it easy for you.

Santiago, it's for you.

For me?

It's your mother.

Thank you.

Hello?

Santi.

This is Diana.

Santi!

Yes, Mom. What is it?

I love you, Santi. I love you very much.

I had to tell you.

How did you get this number?

Your mother gave it to me.

She's really nice.

I've done something awful.

Really awful.

I've just got married.

I got married knowing how much I love you.

Where are you now?

Running off to Africa was a crazy idea.

You'd have regretted it sooner or later.

You'd be in jail now, or worse.

I went off without saying good-bye for your good.

You know that?

Pass on my regards.

- Who to? - To your mother, of course.

Regards from Mari Jose.

Who's Mari Jose?

Tell her we're taking good care of you.

Well...

...we'll talk later, Mom.

Is she prettier than I?

I can't go on, Diana.

Santi, don't hang up!

If you say I can't depend on you...

...l'll kill myself.

I'll slit my wrists!

Stop that!

Doña Lourdes...

...don't keep him too long.

Leave her be. She's very upset. Family problems.

She seems very young.

But I don't like her voice.

Give me your number, I'll call you later.

Not later, now.

It's now that I need to know you love me.

Darling! Are you going to be long?

Coming, my love. Don't be impatient.

Are you still there?

Are you still there?

Yes.

Santi, I think of you constantly.

I think of you so much I'm going crazy.

I'm the same.

That's what I wanted to hear.

I tried to forget you, but I can't.

I knew it.

Tell me where you are and I'll come to you.

In two weeks, I'll be back from my honeymoon.

I'll call you.

I'm going to make you happy.

So very happy, darling.

NO-DO PRESENTS SPANISH NEWSREEL

Once again, the Red Cross is on the streets.

Doña Carmen Polo de Franco is here...

...along with other notable society ladies...

...all of whom are wives of well-known doctors.

The new generation is represented by the young Diana Balaguer...

...who is seen here pinning a flag...

...on a dashing member of our armed forces.

Cut! Thank you, that was great. We've finished now.

I'm going to stretch my legs along with my cousin Santi.

He's on leave.

- Why are we meeting here? - No one will ever notice us.

Pretend you're collecting.

- You look lovely. - So do you.

- You've put on weight. - You haven't.

I didn't sleep a wink on my honeymoon.

I've had an awful time. I can't eat anything.

The doctor says I'm getting an ulcer.

I don't know if we can live like this.

I certainly can't.

- We never have what we want. - Well, I've got nothing at all.

And Mari Jose?

I thought I would never see you again.

We're in a real mess.

I want to kiss you.

So do I.

There's a doorway over there.

In a doorway?

We'd get caught.

I have to think for both of us.

Please don't bother us. We're talking.

Let's go now. I don't know what we're doing here.

I pulled a lot of strings...

...to get accepted on this petition table.

You've got your career, I've got mine.

And what about us?

- We can be friends. - I don't want to be your friend.

- Why not? - You do what you want...

...and I just follow behind.

The fact I'm married doesn't matter.

Don't tell me a married woman can't have friends.

What about my fiancée?

- I bet she's a real nice girl. - She is.

Are you in love with her?

We're going to get married.

I didn't ask you that.

I'd be in love with her if I wasn't in love with you.

But she's the type who suits you, right?

- Like Gonzalo suits me. - "Suit". What do you mean?

In this life, what you want isn't what suits you.

I learned that very young.

I don't suit you because I haven't a penny.

Careful.

They're watching us.

Come on.

- Hello. - Hello.

- This soldier wants to give blood. - I do?

You can't back out now.

- Have you ever given blood? - Never.

Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. Strip off and lie down there.

I'm sure he's got good blood.

He looks so nice.

What else will you take from me?

It's a good deed, Santi.

You and I have to do good deeds...

...to make up for other things.

Aren't you taking too much?

I don't know. I've never done this before.

Oh, God!

I think that's enough.

Whatever you say.

I'm very proud of you, Santi.

You should lie down for a while.

And then have a sandwich.

I need one.

Haven't you had breakfast yet?

No, my fellow worker is away at a wedding.

Go now, you aren't busy.

I'll stay with the soldier.

If anyone comes, I'll tell them to wait.

You don't mind?

No, I'm here to help out.

Anyway, my feet are aching.

I won't be long.

No, take your time.

Don't gulp your food.

- We can do it now. - Yeah?

We can talk now, I mean.

- Santi, I'm a married woman. - So what?

You have to look at me as you look at married women.

I have to kiss you, really.

I'll die if I don't kiss you.

Wait.

Really...

...the things you make me do!

I'm that man

who pursues you every night.

I'm that man

who can't live because he loves you.

Santi!

The one who waits for you.

The one who dreams of you.

- Know what the horse is called? - Santi.

Don't be silly. Lennon!

I'm that man

who'd give his life to have you.

I'm that man

who can't forget you, even when he's far away.

The one who waits for you.

The one who dreams of you.

The one who prays every night for your love.

And I'm here, here,

to love you.

I'm here, here,

to adore you.

I'm here, here,

to tell you

that no one has ever loved you

as I love you.

I'm that man

who would give his life to have you.

I'm that man

who can't forget you even when he's far away.

The one who waits for you.

The one who dreams of you.

The one who prays every night

for your love.

Don't look.

I can't see anything!

- Have we come up six floors? - You're in for a surprise.

- What is this? - Guess.

It isn't a car, it isn't a refrigerator.

Look at the view.

It's Cebada Square.

Come and see.

We'll put the bathroom there.

No bathtub, just a shower. It's sexier!

- Where's your bedroom? - What do you mean, "your"?

Yours and Mari Jose's.

You think I've rented this for Mari Jose and me?

This is just for us.

No more living from hand to mouth.

I have never lived from hand to mouth.

I mean we needed a place to...

Did I ever ask for this?

- You don't like it. - No.

I don't like it.

What do you think I am?

Do you think I'm the kind of woman...

...who can sneak off to a love nest...

...to sleep with a man three times a week?

To sleep with a man, I have my husband...

...in a house...

...much nicer than this...

...with a very big bed.

Isn't it different with me?

Yes, because it's romantic, because it isn't all planned.

Because it happens when we can't help it.

That's why it's different.

You understand?

But this makes it cheap.

I'm not saying it because the place is horrible.

Which it is.

Don't say that. It has to be fixed up.

Once it is, you'll see that it's comfortable.

Comfort has got nothing to do with what I feel for you.

It's getting late.

I've got an appointment.

I'm sick of this! How can you be so selfish?

Do you know what it cost me to rent this?

I repeat, I didn't ask you to!

We only do what you want! But I'm entitled to my opinion.

And if you don't like that, it's all pointless.

Do you want to end it?

When will I be worthy of you?

When can I see you when I want and not when you say?

You know who I think of when I kiss my fiancée?

Yes.

And I think of you...

...so that it doesn't hurt when my husband makes love to me.

Let's just go away together!

A fine time to say that.

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's better that you don't know.

I don't like you half-telling me things!

- Santi, you've got me pregnant. - What?

You've got me pregnant!

Pregnant! Pregnant!

How do you know it was me?

A woman always knows!

But you're married and...

Gonzalo never finishes the job.

What do we do?

If it's a boy, call it Gonzalo.

- I'll talk to your husband. - Don't you dare.

- But I want that baby! - You'll have to agree with me.

What could be better than having a nice house...

...his own room, the best schools?

Most children don't have that and they're happy.

- My child won't be like most. - It's my child too!

One lousy sperm doesn't give you the right to go on like this!

Diana!

Leave your husband and come with me, I beg you!

Let go of me, Santi.

Let go of me!

Diana!

Diana!

Diana!

Diana, forgive me!

Diana!

MARGUINA-BALAGUER MARRIAGE ANNULLED B Y COURT

DIANA BALAGUER MARRIES ITALIAN TENOR, VITTORIO RAIMONDI

Silent night,

holy night,

all is calm,

all is bright,

round yon virgin mother and child,

holy infant so tender and mild

The Major always preferred a crib.

He'd spend hours setting it up.

Some men never really grow up.

Come on, dinner's ready.

Wait, the King's message is on now.

...the home of the tenor...

...Vittorio Raimondi...

...who was kind enough to sing for you...

That woman always looks so elegant.

With all her money...

...a skivvy would look elegant.

My family and I want to toast with you to this Christmas...

...which is so full of hope...

...and wish you...

...Happy Christmas with a champagne...

...which always hits the right note.

Freixenet.

Santi!

What's wrong with him?

He'll miss the King's message.

- I don't like those kings. - Don't be so silly.

- I prefer the other ones we saw. - So do I.

I'm going to slap both of you very hard!

- Have you got the letters? - No.

Yes.

- And what's this? - A letter.

Come on.

- Now what's wrong, Mom? - Nothing.

Do we give in our letters here?

- Go on, do it now. - I'm scared.

You should try. That way, we won't have to wait.

Go on, boys. Do it now, please.

They're so alike.

They're not at all alike.

They're identical!

What's your cologne?

I don't know. My wife buys it.

It's horrible.

If it were in a Dior bottle, you'd like it.

What's good enough for Dior is good enough for me.

I saw you in the ad.

Well, I see you all the time.

My wife is addicted to gossip magazines.

So it didn't work out with Gonzalo.

Him?

- Good appearance, but no spirit. - I'm sorry.

I'm not.

I'm much better off with Vittorio.

And he loves the twins as if they were his own.

And how are things going with you?

Very well.

I'll have my qualifications in another three years.

I'm sure you're a good husband.

Yes.

She makes it easy for me.

If she makes it so easy, why do you look sad?

- Me? - Yes.

You look like all the others.

How do you mean?

Like a normal, ordinary man.

I am a normal, ordinary man.

You had something different.

I fell in love with that.

But now...

No, this is impossible! It would be crazy!

- It's useless to fight it. - Things aren't what they were.

It's very dangerous now.

But I need to be with you.

- And I with you! - Now!

I'm taking the children to the cinema.

I'll take mine to the same one.

What do we do then?

Ten minutes after the film starts, we'll go out to the washroom.

We'll meet in the washroom.

- Yes. - In the Ladies.

As always.

Don't say that. It sounds awful.

He's a journalist!

I'm sure he is!

Watch the children!

Give me the film or I'll break your neck!

I want my father!

He's coming now, love.

You're very pretty.

So are you.

Children!

Behave yourselves!

I've got it!

Come on.

Careful!

Why?

Call me tonight at exactly 12.30.

- Neither before nor after. - Yes.

Estefania!

Come along, darling.

12.30.

Vandals!

THE FIFTH BULL

Hey!

Hey!

We're closed.

I have to make a phone call!

- We haven't got a public phone. - It's urgent!

On the corner...

...there's a phone box. - It's broken!

It worked this afternoon.

Please, it's a matter of life and death!

Vandal!

- Go away or I'll call the cops! - No, please.

I'll pay you 1,000 pesetas for one call!

And now...

Everybody ready?

Diana, the lights, please.

THE HO TTEST LAD Y

Really, this is the most pornographic thing...

...l've ever seen in my life.

That's for me! You can leave now.

Santi?

Thank God!

This is impossible.

Impossible? Nothing's impossible!

Vittorio is very jealous.

So am I.

He's got two...

We'll call them secretaries who watch me.

You can always shake them off.

They come shopping with me.

- To the masseuse, the hairdresser. - We're smarter than they are.

It would be very risky.

I don't care.

We'd have to do really dreadful things.

I'll do anything!

I don't know if we could complicate our lives so much.

I could do anything, except forget you.

What about you? Could you do it?

We're giving a party the day after tomorrow. Listen...

The cellar key. The champagne's running out.

- We'll get some more. - I'll do it.

We'll help you.

I'd rather you stayed here.

Waiter.

Come with me.

The aria lasts less than ten minutes.

It doesn't matter.

I can't believe you're here with me.

- I love you! I love you! - Don't mess my hair!

Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

Your hair!

I'm sorry!

You're trembling.

It isn't just from fear.

This is like making a parachute jump.

But without the parachute.

Pig! How dare you?

Who hired this oaf?

Darling, you were marvellous.

How are you all?

Great!

I've told you not to have the TV so loud when Dad is at home!

They're not annoying me.

You like the clowns?

He's been watching clowns for days now.

Really, my love...

...you get more childish every day.

Be careful.

The man who's a child...

...never stops playing.

How are you all?

Great!

And are you going to enjoy this birthday party?

- Yes! - Louder!

Yes!

And now, here we have...

...the magician Tan Tan!

Good morning!

You sound wonderful. You'll be a big success.

I'm so sorry I can't go with you.

Can't you pack tomorrow?

Tomorrow, we have to be at the airport by 12.00

And remember how much we're taking with us.

The theater will be so empty without you.

I should have been better organized, but I was so busy.

We'll have time to be together all during the tour.

Know what I can't wait for?

Our audience with the Pope.

I don't know. I think that this Pope is a bit dull.

Dull? He isn't dull, he's serious.

If you hurry with the cases, you may make Act II.

I'll try.

- Do we really need so much? - Trust me.

A magnificent trunk!

You know what to do. At the slightest suspicion...

Ciao, darling.

Whore!

Pig!

Santi?

I told the guy to leave a gap for ventilation.

- When are they coming for you? - At 8.30.

We're out of our minds!

- Help me to get out. - Come on.

Come on.

- Straighten up. - I can't.

- Let go of the hanger! - Don't let go of me!

Don't laugh at me!

Why not?

Because I'm a member of the Armed Forces!

- The Armed Forces? - Yes.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Good evening.

We will shortly be offering a live broadcast...

...of Giuseppe Verdi's opera, "Othello".

The Moor's first suspicions bring Act I to its close.

In Act II, which will begin in twenty minutes...

...Othello falls in the trap set by the Machiavellian lago.

I must be there for Act III.

This is a very special night for Vittorio.

Can we never be together for more than an hour?

What is all this?

We spend days preparing a meeting and it's over almost at once.

But it's worth it, isn't it?

Of course I think it's worth it.

Rub this on your elbows. They're very dry.

- Very dry? - Just let yourself go, Santi!

If I did that, I'd be with the woman I love.

Don't kid yourself. You wouldn't be happy with me.

You know everything.

I know I'd make you do things that are beyond you.

Such as what, for example?

Such as, for example, earn a lot of money.

Money! That's all you care about!

I don't sneer at money.

I've only got one life and I want to enjoy it.

What do you want, idiot?

To cause a scandal? Leave your wife and children?

They don't deserve it.

They love you.

And you love them.

I love Vittorio, and I loved Gonzalo too...

...but in a way that men don't understand.

And now what?

You're leaving for six months.

What will we do?

I've thought it all out.

Our next meeting is in Paris.

- How do you mean, Paris? - Yes.

I'm invited to the Balmain show. There's a little hotel nearby.

- It's so romantic. - Stop! Stop!

We could spend the afternoon together.

How can I go to Paris if I can't get to the end of the month?

Santi! All you care about is money.

Don't laugh at me!

The hotel is cheap, and a trip to Paris in tourist class...

I can't.

- Are you really so hard up? - Yes, I am.

I live with my in-laws.

I had to get a loan on the apartment.

I can't pay to take my pilot's licence.

So I'm still in the army.

And now Mari Jose is pregnant again.

You're a pig.

I fuck like a pig. That's why I drive you crazy.

Diana!

Hide!

- Where? - In the bathroom!

- Did I hurt you? - No... Yes...

I love you.

There's no door.

Diana!

Vittorio!

Why did you lock the door?

I didn't lock it. It gets stuck some times.

Is anything wrong?

I had to run out of the theater! Such a nuisance!

But what happened?

You're making me nervous.

I lost a contact lens in Act I. I have to find the spare ones.

- Don't you keep them there? - Yes, but they've gone.

If you'd called, I'd have brought them.

What are you looking for?

My lenses!

Under the bed?

I know.

In your toiletbag, in your dressing room.

I'll get changed and we'll go.

No!

If they're anywhere, they're here!

And don't get nervous, dear.

I'm not nervous.

You look it.

Because of the opera.

Don't worry, the curtain won't go up without me.

Can't you perform without your lens?

And confuse the conductor with the first violin again?

Now I remember!

How stupid!

Yes?

They're in the bathroom.

Tell your lover to come out of the bath tub...

...or else he'll drown.

Coming!

Hello. What...

Hey!

- What do you want? - Who is it?

Where are you going? My husband's asleep.

Who are you, anyway?

Santi! Open the door!

Ma'am.

Santi!

As we can see here...

...Diana Balaguer is still showing signs...

...of the accident she had...

...when she fell down...

What bad luck!

She fell the day of her husband's last performance in Madrid.

When he got home he found her unconscious.

What a shock for the poor man!

- How do you know all this? - It's in the magazines.

It was the same time as your accident.

Good morning.

My God!

Help!

Ma'am, please.

Stop that!

That's five million.

If you want to check it...

- What's this for? - The loan and the course.

With the lady's compliments.

What lady?

Today, December 9, will be sadly remembered...

...as a tragic day for the music world.

John Lennon was murdered in front of the building...

...where he lived in New York.

A 38 caliber bullet ended the life of the singer...

...composer and ex-member of the Beatles.

His killer, Mark David Chapman...

...a 25 year old American who is mentally disturbed...

...was arrested without a struggle minutes after the murder.

Lennon, who was forty, was the intellectual leader...

...of the Beatles, and composed many of their hits.

A musical genius has died.

You'll live forever, John.

Take these guitars up to the English guys' rooms.

Yes, sir.

Waiter!

Yes?

Another martini, please.

Would you like anything, sir?

Hurrah for Italy!

- Italy must be empty. - Yes.

Let's see.

It's expensive, but if you knew how I was looking forward to it.

I do, you've been telling me for two weeks.

You never think of anything different.

I've always been dull.

- You want me to change now? - No.

When a husband changes, it's always for the worse.

Come on, I'm hungry.

I brought your stomach pills, just in case.

Thank you, dear.

Good evening.

Good evening.

- You have a reservation? - Yes, for Santiago García.

García?

Yes.

One moment.

I love it!

- Isn't it gorgeous? - We're leaving.

What do you mean?

It's full of assholes. What are we doing here?

Santi, please.

You must behave as if we came here every night.

García? This way, please.

- I don't like it. - It's beautiful.

- It's very dark. - More intimate.

Orchestras in a restaurant make me nervous.

If you eat, you don't listen. And if you listen...

Look, Santi, stop this nonsense.

Excuse me.

Could we have another table?

Santi!

I'd rather be far away from the music.

I'm afraid everything is reserved.

Don't worry, this is perfect.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Look for another table.

You seem very odd.

I am odd.

You odd? You're the most normal of men.

That's what I like about you.

- Would you like a drink? - Yes, a brandy.

- Ma'am? - I'll have a sherry.

Very well.

It looks great.

Exquisite. Try it.

It tastes of shellfish.

It must be lobster paté or something.

Want your glasses?

No.

Want a pill?

No.

Take one, and don't spoil the night on me.

Suck it slowly.

I'm going to have...

...fish mousse...

...and turbot in champagne.

And you? Meat or fish...

...which do you prefer?

Careful, you'll get excited...

...and we'll do something crazy in the car, like last time.

Where are you going?

To the washroom. I hear it's wonderful.

You're... you, aren't you?

It depends.

Diana Balaguer?

I'm afraid so.

Of course, I know you very well.

From the magazines.

When I tell my husband I spoke to you, he won't believe it.

You're with your husband?

Yes. It's our wedding anniversary.

Thirteen years together.

Thirteen. That's a record.

Yes.

Yours don't last as long, do they?

Men are like that.

More money, less patience.

I hit the jackpot with Santi.

He's loving...

...hard working, a good father.

Who'd believe there are still men like that these days?

The best thing is he adores me.

What lovely perfume!

It's too daring.

Your husband wouldn't like it.

Thank you.

Happy anniversary.

I hope you have an unforgettable night.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell that slut that I know everything.

Let's go.

Santi, we came to celebrate our anniversary...

...and that's what we'll do.

I won't let that little whore get her own way.

I'm very embarrassed.

You weren't embarrassed when you were screwing her.

Don't talk like that, please.

Look at her.

She's mad with jealousy.

It's all over now.

Of course it's all over.

The important thing is she doesn't affect you now.

She doesn't, does she?

No.

She's still hung up on you.

On me?

For God's sake!

You must be very good in bed.

You'd know better than anyone.

What would I know?

I'm an idiot, I've only been with you.

Sir.

We didn't order champagne.

It's from Mrs. Balaguer.

We can't accept it.

Of course we can. Serve it.

Isn't she rich?

She can afford it.

Take your glass and let's toast.

Why are you waiting?

Know what I'd like?

To stand up and say to all these people...

...Diana Balaguer can get everything she wants...

...except my man.

I've got him.

I think this is going to be the happiest night of my life!

Good evening. We want to dedicate the next song...

...to a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary.

Mari Jose and Santi...

...our congratulations.

Let's dance.

Are you nervous?

I want her to suffer.

I don't know why I love you.

It must be because I have the bolero in my soul.

You always look for what I haven't got.

I look for you in every woman and I don't find you.

I say your name when I shouldn't.

I don't know why I love you.

While I stumble along, you race on ahead.

You appear to me in mirrors,

like a full-length shadow.

I pinch myself,

and I'm awake.

If I didn't need your kisses,

you'd treat me better than a dog.

It thinks it's free

because it can walk around loose,

but it has a noose...

We've known each other seventeen years.

And this is the first time we've danced.

Don't get the wrong idea.

This is all in your imagination.

To do something, it just needs two to agree to think of it.

You didn't even bother to thank me.

- For the champagne? - For the five million.

My wife found out.

And my husband didn't?

This is a disease.

I know that.

I have other women.

In my job, it's easy.

I've had a few lovers who were technically better than you but...

It was nothing, right?

Nothing.

Falling in love is a real bitch.

Above all, it isn't very practical.

But why did it have to happen to us?

Make the most of this time...

...and kiss me.

I can't.

I'm not here.

To do something, it just needs two to agree on it.

If I didn't

need your kisses,

you'd treat me better than a dog.

It thinks it's free because

it walks around loose,

but it has a noose tied round its neck.

To love as I love you

has got no name

or documents.

It has no mother...

When you go down for the paper tomorrow, don't buy bread.

I've got some in the freezer.

Almost happy in the middle of the sky...

Tonight, Halley's comet. Where to see it.

- Good afternoon, and welcome. - Thank you.

- Co-pilot Rivera. - Delighted.

A pleasure.

He and Captain García are your pilots.

Captain Santiago García?

May I speak to you, Captain?

Please.

I won't be long.

- I'll sit with Rivera. - Fine.

All this can't be coincidence.

No.

It's just bad luck.

Aren't you glad to see me?

I don't know.

I don't know any more.

Sit down.

I prefer you in that uniform.

But you've got a spare tire.

- The curve of discontent. - You should do push-ups.

Is that a proposition?

It really doesn't appeal any more, Santi.

We're aiming higher every time.

Good-bye, darling.

- Are you marrying that creep? - It's none of your business.

First a rich kid, then a maniac, now a layabout.

He's a friend!

When will you risk it with a real man?

Like you?

For example.

We wouldn't last four days.

You never know.

We have nothing in common.

I wouldn't say that.

Yes, sex.

It would keep us amused at first.

But then what?

All that wears out quickly, especially at your age.

What do you mean, at my age?

- You can't deny your age, Santi. - It's the same as yours.

No, it certainly isn't!

- We're the same age! - We're not!

Really!

I can't discuss anything with you!

To hell with age.

We're still very young.

Men lose a lot after forty.

I thought we had something more than just sex.

The important thing about sex isn't the sex.

It's desiring it.

Sex is gymnastics.

Desire...

...is pure intelligence.

I think a lot, Santi.

Yes.

I've got so much free time.

The comet.

The comet!

Would you dare leave your wife and children?

Name the time and place.

Would you really do it?

I'm so nervous!

It's now or never, Diana.

We've got a right to try, even if it doesn't work.

We've got every right.

- What will I tell the...? - The layabout?

- Yes. - I'll tell you what we'll do.

I radioed the reservations.

Our plane leaves in 20 minutes.

Pick up the tickets and wait for me inside.

I have to fill in a flight report.

Then I'll join you.

Where are we going?

I think they said Athens.

And then on to any island. I've only got a bathng suit.

- Diana. - Yes?

We can't go back now.

I know that.

Here, take my briefcase.

Iber-Air announces the departure of charter flight 427...

...bound for Athens.

Boarding at Gate 3.

Smoking or non-smoking?

Guess.

Passengers for Athens...

...please board via Gate 3.

You have no guarantee...

...that it will work out.

If it's true love...

...you don't need guarantees.

Do you think that man...

...can make Diana happy?

I really think...

...it's a mistake. When Santi's sure of you...

...he'll lose interest.

Listen to your heart, really.

You done well until now without any commitments.

So why change?

Can you see yourself in a tiny house while he's off flying...

...every other day?

Don't listen to him.

Love is what matters.

Don't be silly.

You've got love with him.

Why take the risk?

I have two seats.

But not together.

Oh, dear.

You can hand in the papers.

You'll get into trouble.

I know.

Santiago García?

That's me.

Good evening.

There's a problem with the army plane which was to take...

...His Majesty the King to Madrid.

We need you to fly him there immediately.

Your company has been informed, there's no problem.

- But I... - This is the only plane...

...and His Majesty has...

...an important meeting to attend.

- I understand. My co-pilot... - No, I won't accept...

...that responsibility.

- Don't screw me up. - Santi, the King is the King.

You want both of us on the carpet?

His Majesty is an excellent pilot.

Maybe he would like...

You're not serious?

No.

Very well, but I must sort out something in the airport.

- I won't be long. - You can do it over the radio.

Yes, of course I can, but...

There's His Majesty.

Please prepare for take-off.

Diana?

Yes?

I'm Ricardo Magriñá, Jaime's father.

I didn't know you were here.

I wasn't. I had to come here urgently.

Jaime has had an accident.

Oh, my God!

It isn't anything serious. The idiot was water skiing.

It's really just as well because I...

I agree.

Pardon?

I would be delighted to stand in for my son.

You?

If you have no objection to the company of a widower of 58.

A man of 58?

Where?

How can no one answer to that name? Keep trying!

Diana Balaguer. It's very urgent!

Your tickets, ma'am.

What tickets?

For Athens.

Athens is pretty...

...but very depressing.

Everything is so run down.

Shall we go?

Yes.

No, no!

That isn't mine.

Attention, please. An urgent message...

...for Diana Balaguer.

Please go to the information desk.

Is anything wrong?

Just that love stinks.

Right, I've almost got them!

- What? - I just pulled something.

Don't you have to be in form for your job?

It isn't my job to crawl around on rooftops.

Go on, make one last effort. They're just there!

I'm not blind.

You're so impertinent.

That's it.

I've got them.

- Give them to me. - No!

- Come on. - No.

Shit!

Shit!

Are you all right?

No, I'm not all right.

Why did you have to come?

Why didn't you kill me that day with the Mini?

Why didn't the Algeciras train get derailed?

Why didn't the plane crash?

Why don't you give me the damn glasses?

No.

- Then you could use your hands. - Let go of me.

Give them to me!

No! Let go of me.

You'll break them.

I told you, didn't I?

I hate pigeons.

They're nice glasses.

They were nice.

How can I deliver them like this?

- What are you doing? - They look better now.

I'll get fired.

Gaultier brought out a similar model. Glasses without sides.

What did you have to tell me that was so important?

It's about your daughter.

Which of them?

Carolina.

I'd like you to meet her. She's here.

She's very pretty and very talented. She took after me.

And the other one?

I don't speak to her.

- Why not? - She's wasting her life...

...in Rwanda with one of those "doctors without barriers".

"Without frontiers".

She took after you.

After me?

Stubborn as a mule.

Yeah.

- That's it. - They look awful.

Why do you want me to meet my daughter after all this time?

I thought you'd like the idea.

And I thought you could introduce her to the boy.

What boy?

The Prince.

I don't believe it!

Did I say something awful?

Should I feel rotten or mean?

How did you find out?

Everyone knows you're to be the Prince's Head of Security.

It still isn't official.

You deserve it, Santi.

You worked so hard.

And you did so much with the 5 million I gave you.

- What are you doing? - Trying to find other glasses.

I suppose His Majesty must have a spare pair somewhere.

If they're just for eyestrain, give him these.

Carolina has possibilities.

Through Gonzalo's great aunt...

...she has a direct line to the nobility.

Stop it!

I'm going through a hard time.

Ricardo left a load of debts.

His son may go to jail.

Diana, let go of me.

Won't you help me?

Not even for your daughter?

You've completely lost your mind.

All right then!

I don't need you. I've done something myself...

...and our daughter and your Prince are going to meet.

What have you done?

Nothing serious.

Diana, this is very serious.

Well, it's time it stopped being so.

- What did you do? - I've moved the place names.

- But there's a strict protocol! - He'll thank me for it.

He'll be happier with Carolina than with that foreign girl.

She's so dull.

You need a doctor.

Santi, I don't know you.

Where are you going?

To undo what you did before they find out.

I changed my card too and I won't tell you...

...where it is.

Big joke, isn't it?

You look really funny.

- Now what do I do? - I don't know.

Maybe some safety pins...

Some safety pins!

Hurry!

I have the foie.

Pardon?

The foie.

Clean this glass.

There's dust everywhere.

Well.

I'll send someone to help you.

Would you mind staying here with me?

It's just for a moment.

Headquarters?

- How long before the dinner? - Time enough to fix this.

Headquarters, come in.

Headquarters?

What is it? Don't you care about me at all?

Do you know what it cost me to get this far?

I can imagine.

Dumping me at that airport wasn't enough.

I had you paged.

Then I called your home.

I left messages on the answerphone.

You didn't give me any chance to explain.

I felt humiliated.

I see now that I married Ricardo out of spite.

I don't believe you.

Not any more.

Not any more.

You don't affect me.

I look at you and I don't feel anything.

Time cures everything.

Just as well.

You mean you don't love me any more?

Not any more.

And you feel satisfied.

You're free.

When all this is over...

...l'll get drunk to celebrate.

It's a lie! You love me very much!

Your eyes are gleaming!

Your heart is beating like crazy.

You want to push me against the wall and make love to me.

You see?

You can't fool me.

Santi, where are you? The guests are seated.

His Majesty needs his glasses.

You're a bitch.

Think what you like, but I really love you.

You're the only really good thing I've ever had.

We had very little time for ourselves.

All the hours we've had in these 30 years don't make one week.

I've counted them.

But we can fix that.

I want to be with you forever, really.

I promise that I'll be good.

I'll make you happy.

I say yes. What about you?

Quite frankly, my dear...

...you can go fuck a fish.

Santi!

You'd leave me here?

Santi! Santi, I love you!

I love you, Santi! You must believe me.

I love you!
