LEÓN AND OLVIDO

[Knocks the door]

[Man Teacher] León, Open, come on!

[Woman teacher] Open León.

[Man Teacher] Come on, man!

[Woman Teacher] León.

[Man Teacher] León.

[Woman Teacher] León.

Olvido is coming to get you.

Come on, open it. [Knocks the door]

[Man teacher] León, open it immediately!

León, come on, open the door.

Let's open!

León!

Did you hear what I said?

- [Man teacher] León. - [Woman teacher] León.

[Soft music]

[Man teacher] He has no discipline.

More affection than we give, it is almost impossible.

I'm sorry.

He pays no attention to any activity.

He lost his appetite, lost weight.

He's even lost control of his sphincters.

The poor boy, anywhere, in front of whoever...

He's started going naked...

He's either completely autistic or a rebel.

God has given even these creatures some free will,

so if he doesn't want to...

You're telling me to take him away.

The poor girl has been so unfortunate.

His father died at sea.

The mother died two years later of a terrible cancer.

And now, having to look after León...

Olvido. You have the right to decide.

[Woman teacher] to decide no, to see if he can stay here.

I need for him to stay here.

[Man teacher] It's useless for you to try.

In my report, I've advised against León staying here.

The harmful effect on the other...

Shut up, you bastard!

These kids need special attention and affection.

Some parents... this man.

refuse to let them have sexual relations.

They don't realize how necessary it is,

[Woman teacher] how it would help them.

I personally would be willing...

Well, I am willing...

If I talk to him,

if he changes,

could you try for another month?

You can't imagine what I'm taking on.

Give me that.

Give me that.

Going home!

You stink.

Will I stop the car?

-Don't you need to do anything? -No.

I need to breathe.

-León... -Are we going?

-Do you love me? - Yes,

Yes. I love you, beautiful.

If you really do you'll pick that flower for me.

Which one?

-That one? -I really like it.

If you bring it, we'll go home now.

And tonight you'll sleep with me.

Why do you want another flower?

Women like to get flowers from men.

I can sleep with you?

- In your bed? - Yes

and keep me warm.

What about these?

I prefer that one..

Why do you like flowers?

I'll talk to Iván.

He'll bring me here and pick the flower for me.

I bet he wants to sleep with me.

Do you want me to bring the flower?

You want me to get the flower? As you wish.

And then the princess will sleep with Lion Heart.

Yes, love.

[León] Careful!

Careful!

Help me, help me!

-Are you all right? -Yes.

-Come on. -Yes.

[Olvido] Come on.

Come on!

[Opens the door]

-Do you feel like reading? -I am reading.

Will I keep you warm?

I'm not cold.

Dido, shall we play at pirates?

- Coming aboard! - No!

There's nothing like being at home.

-Are you very tired? -Yes.

After picking the flower.

Will you sing to me?

-Will you go to sleep? -Certainly.

-But first change me. - What?

Do not you remember the story?

How three kisses changed the toad into a prince?

-Or into a princess. -That would be with a frog.

If you kiss me on the lips...

it might get rid of the Syndrome.

I'd screw you rigid if that would get rid of it.

I don't like having it.

Come on.

On here.

[Sings] ♪ Close your eyes, my darling ♪

♪ Close your eyes my love ♪

♪ Close your eyes, my little one... ♪

♪ close your eyes, both of them... ♪

♪ Your eyes, my precious... ♪

♪ your eyes, my love... ♪

♪ Your eyes, my dearest... ♪

♪ your eyes, sweetheart... ♪

♪ your eyes, sweetheart... ♪

Well?

I'm ready!

- Am I all right? - Yes.

-Are my socks all right? - Yes.

because you put them on.

- They're not all right. - You're going like that.

And you'll always go the way you dress.

Your mom isn't here to dress you

and I'll never choose your clothes again.

If you don't iron them no one will.

I won't do anything for you.

- You are my sister. -Yes, I am your sister.

Yes, but I'm not your mother or your servant.

After school, come home on your own.

-Come and get me! -Come on your own!

-I still don't know the way! -Then ask!

Not today, it's my first day!

How many days will you need to learn it?

- How many? - Few.

Move!.

[Olvido] And behave yourself at school.

Learn to look after yourself or you're out!

I'll send you to the nuns.

They won't care if you eat or not,

if you shit yourself or not!

You have to help in the house

and respect my freedom.

- [León] What about you? -What?

[León] Yes, all right.

-This way. -You always park down here!

Come on.

We both own the car.

- Miss Dorita! - Shit.

León, love, you've come back. You're home again.

How could someone ever want

to get rid of a treasure like you?

-You can have him when you want. -You're wicked!

If only I could.

But if it's fallen to you, there's a reason.

If I could throw you out...

-I'd show you. - Go fuck yourself!

León, come on.

The brute, she treats him like a dog.

-Here, but don't give it to her. - [León] No, no...

If you don't pay me, I'll report you.

[Lady Dorita] Goodbye, León.

God protect you, child.

What's to become of you?

Did she say "What's to become of you?"

-[Raquel] Me. -Wait, Sonia.

-It's Estrella's turn. -I'd like to have a boyfriend,

one who's got a job, and I'd like to have children.

-How many?

It depends how big the house is.

I'd go to the beach on vacation.

Very good, Estrella.

-It's Jose's turn. -Raquel, I think it's my turn.

It's Monica's or mine.

It isn't your turn, Sonia, or Monica's. It's Jose's turn.

[Raquel] It's Joseph now. Right?

You have to respect the turns.

And if we can't talk at the same time

we'll elect representatives.

Thank you, Jonathan. You can sit down.

But we'll have time this term

and in the coming terms

so that they can speak several times. Right?

Your turn, José.

Have a girlfriend.

Tue...

have children,

get married,

go to soccer games, and go on vacation.

That's a very good plan.

-Now, the new boy. -Raquel, it's my turn.

[Raquel] We'll be hospitable and listen to our new classmate.

- Let's go. -If she wants to speak first...

- [Teacher] Tell us your name. -León.

You are not here to laugh at anyone.

Sorry.

But it's mean to laugh at people's names.

And León is a lovely name.

León, what would you like to do in the future?

The same as Jose, but...

[Teacher] But what?

I have to look after my sister

[Theacher] Have you got a younger sister?

No, we're the same.

But I promised my mother

I'd look after her when she died.

And she's dead now.

[Teacher] That's very good,

but you could do something else with your life too.

I don't know.

[Teacher] Of course, why couldn't you?

[Mónica] Rachel, my turn.

All right, Monica, tell us, what would you like to do?

I'd like to have a boyfriend, get married, go on vacation,

and have lots of money.

You don't understand me.

Iván, you're like León. You've got someone to keep you.

Why do not you work?

It's not that easy.

I still don't feel confident.

I can't open a clinic. Anyway that isn't what I want.

Right. You want to go to the Amazon and save the Indians.

Meanwhile, you sit on your ass,

or hump me when you feel like it.

- You're exagerating. - Am I?

What else do we do together?

You can't invent a different brother.

But he doesn't have much of a life expectation.

For fuck's sake!

He'll bury me.

That isn't the answer.

It's no use despairing.

Everyone thinks their problem

is the biggest in the world.

Yeah, things could be worse.

I could have a pimp exploiting me at night.

You'd have lots of clients.

Will I see you tonight?

You want to screw or would you rather talk?

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

Come on, you'll manage.

I call you.

Here, look.

León, Why are you still here?

-That dog won't go away.. - And your classmates?

-Some of them were collected. - The older ones?

I'm new here.

I need a few months... or days.

I'll never come for you again.

If you get lost the police can find you.

The dog's back again

[She whistles]

Bite him, bite him.

- Bite your ass, bite your ass. - No, no!

[Opens the door]

Go on, bite him, dog! Bite him, bite him on the ass!

- What's that? - What you asked for.

I asked for a jar of mayonnaise.

You asked for this.

I asked for fucking mayonnaise.

-The man didn't understand. - Well, go back,

and explain again until he does.

Why don't you do it?

Because I'm cooking.

and you're not paralyzed

and you have to do something

Why don't you make the mayonnaise in the blender?

Why does it always curdle on you?

Go get the mayonnaise.

No, you pussies do the shopping!

I was joking.

[Breaks the glass]

The mayonnaise is very good.

[Phone rings]

Yes? Hello.

No, I'm not angry. I've got no reason to be.

No, I'm not going out.

Do you want to come here?

You could play with León, that's good fun.

All right, see you tomorrow.

Was that Iván?

Ivan is not family.

Why won't you live in a residence?

I prefer being with you

Do you prefer that I'm fucked up...

that I work like a mule.

That I'm worried all day

and have no time for myself?

We're better together.

That's shit!

Together, we need more money

and you can't earn it

or make the slightest effort to earn it.

You can't even save what the Doritas give you.

-They give me very little! -Not that little.

But you spend it all on yourself anyway.

Are you never going to learn anything?

Can't you learn a single lesson from things?

Yes! I can.

Don't you see that you can't fend for yourself?

That you need someone watching you all the time?

hat in a residence there are people like you,

who won't laugh at you?

The cook laughed at me.

How long have you been saying you're going to join the army?

Don't you see they don't want you?

Because I'm against war!

Remember when you said you were going to work?

and buy a car?

Don't you realize you'll never do either thing?

Don't you realize why?

-I have to see the TV. -Why do you have a TV?

Why do you have a watch? Why do you have clothes?

-The Council gives them to me. -Like hell!

I work all fucking day and buy everything for you.

Don't swear!

-I work all fucking day! -Don't work if you don't like it

- Study! -I don't work because I like it.

I work to keep myself and to keep you.

Then get married, let your husband work.

[Olvido] I don't want anyone to have to take care of me.

And no one will want to take care of you.

Don't you see you depend on me?

[León] I can live on my own.

Oh, yeah?

Where will you get the money to pay the rent?

[Olvido] To buy food?

To buy clothes?

Where?

Don't you see you can't learn

anything that will earn money?

Or that if you can't live alone

you have to go to a residence?

Can't you learn anything?

Dramatic!

We have the first proposition.

All men are mortal.

We have the second proposition.

[León] Socrates is a man.

And we have the third that deduces...

Necessarily...

Necessarily from the other two that Socrates is mortal.

And that is a syllogism.

[Teacher] Jonathan, you want to ask a question?

I very much regret that those phrases

don't have any logic at all

They don't even have democracy or progress.

[Jonathan] Nor do they solve any of today's problems.

-And if the first position... - Proposition.

If, instead of "Socrats",

it were a lady. What then?

I don't know.

In this case it's the same.

- It's the same - No, it isn't, It isn't!

...on my own.

I'm also checking on some websites...

Hello, beautiful!

What?

-Are you going to fix supper? -A hamburger.

There's no meat.

-There isn't? -No.

Didn't you buy meat?

- I didn't. Did you? - I didn't know there was none.

Neither did I.

We should have looked before we went out.

Maybe the butcher shop is still open.

You're not dressed..

But you are.

Is there nothing else to eat?

I don't know. Did you look in the kitchen?

Don't you want to eat?

Hey, Gnome.

His name's León..

Well, León, give me five.

You always fall for it.

-Where were you? -I went for a walk.

-You come back on your own? -Sure.

He's been doing it for a few days.

That's the way, like a man.

Not like a pussy.

Don't you want any supper?

I'm ravenous. What are you going to prepare?

So you're still not cooking?

Shall I prepare something?

No, León is going to make his supper.

I'm sorry, we can't invite you.

I'm going to the kitchen.

At least, he comes home on his own.

Yes, and he can get dressed on his own,

but he can not live alone.

He isn't the only one.

He's got me, and you have whoever you've got.

Let's not start.

We're not, we're continuing.

Anyway, you'll start working

or clear off when you want

There are two bags of potato chips and some eggs.

- We can order a pizza. - [León] Great.

No, we're not ordering a pizza.

It's easy to solve a one-night problem.

You come here, get it off, have a pizza and leave.

But we have to eat every night,

That means buying, cooking,

laying the table, clearing it, washing up...

I said it with good intentions.

Intentions are shown by deeds..

You came here to spend a while

and pizzas are for spending a while.

Dido When you're like this,

it doesn't matter if I say black or white

or nothing at all, I'll screw up anyway.

Clear off, that way you won't.

That's some sister you have!

- She's a pussy. - What are you, monster?

Her brother.

By this much,

she could have had the Syndrome instead of me.

By this much, she's not a man and you're not a pussy.

Don't even joke about that.

Behave yourself, OK?

You know what that means?

- Yes, having fun. - Right.

Give me five.

You fell for it again, Gnome

Are you a doctor?

- Yes, I'm a doctor. - You don't look like one.

Goodbye.

[Steps getting away]

Iván has gone.

- Shall I put on the TV for you? - No

My sister is so pretty.

Shall I make supper for you? Fried eggs?

Don't blow us up with the gas.

Don't worry.

And afterwards I'll sleep with you.

Right?

No fucking way.

My sister is so pretty.

Why don't you want me to turn on the TV?

Because it distracts me.

[Teacher] I thought I was looking for blackberries,

and I found the bramble rose...

I thought I was picking the white rose

and the thorn sank into my veins.

I thought a warm carnation would appear

and a stream of milk gushed forth.

I thought the stream would sink into the earth

and it flowed to the ocean green.

I thought it was the green ocean

and it was the eternal river of stars.

I thought I would find, crossing the sky,

the lord of all and of nothing.

and all I found was a handful of blackberries

bleeding from love in my hand".

At last, Saturday noon.

Tomorrow, Sunday. And then, Monday.

-But now it's Saturday. - Yes.

-Is lunch ready? - Come in.

I couldn't wait for Saturday.

Not having to work, eating at home.

Going for a walk with you.

Seeing Iván at night.

Where are you going with Ivan?

Tomorrow we'll have breakfast in bed, late, you and I.

Want to have breakfast with me tomorrow?

Where are you going with Iván?

We're just going out.

Iván is watching the game today.

After the game.

- After the game is late. - It's late for some people.

Today, for me, it isn't.

[Steps getting closer]

Do I look pretty?

Or is this better?

Have you got nothing to say?

It's always Saturday! It was Saturday a few days ago

We're going out together this afternoon.

Tomorrow, we're having breakfast together.

That tomorrow we will have breakfast together.

We have lunch together, dinner together.

We can't be together all fucking day!

I'll send you to the nuns.

I was joking.

The other one was nicer.

[León] Shall I help you put on your shoes?

-Dido,your brother's back there. - How is it?

Yes, at "The Magic Store"

- Where are we going? - It's a surprise.

I do not like surprises.

I should be at school.

I'll be marked as absent.

I want to piss.

Hang on.

No, I'm pissing myself.

- Can't you hang on? -No, I'm pissing myself!...

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Dido!

Wait, wait, Dido, wait for me.

Don't be stupid!

Wait, Dido!

[León] Wait for me.

Come back, come back!

Dido!

Fuck! You stupid pussy!

Dickhead!

Dido.

Dido, I love you.

I love you...

[León] Long live the civil guard!

Hurrah for the Civil Guard!

Hurrah for the Civil Guard!

[Guard] You have to sign there.

All the pages.

The boy says you abandoned him.

He also says he wants to be a Civil Guard.

You should be more careful with him.

He's a darling.

We gave him a bath.

We do it with nearly everyone we pick up,

He's very virile.

I have to advise you we've sent a report to the judge.

[Guard] They've sent a social worker.

I'll send her in now.

- [Social assistant] Hello. - Hello.

- I'm Marta Caraval. - Olvido.

I'm here...

-about your brother. -Why?

We've had reports that he may not be well looked after.

Do you want to take him with you?

There are special centers.

[Olvido] He was expelled from two in the last year.

From another two before that.

Are there any more?

- There are grants. - Get me one.

[Social Assistant] We can try

I've been trying for three years.

In any case, we have to check...

- Check what? - That he's well looked after..

Maybe he isn't.

-You've got no close relatives? -No

-I was talking to León. - And?

The fact is...

he thinks you're wonderful

He adores you.

I mean, he's really got the hots for you.

I could fill in some forms

asking for special assistance

Right.

but I doubt if it'll work.

You can't be so pessimistic.

Believe me, you can.

What a fright, eh?

Are you crazy?

Didn't you realize you were leaving me on my own?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I'm going on my own.

Don't you want me to take you?

No, I have to make a visit.

After school, I'll buy something for supper and cook it?

- That's great. - You look beautiful.

- Go on, get going. - Very pretty. Bye.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

This could be your room.

It's got no furniture.

We order them and they're brought here.

Does the Council pay?

You don't understand, Jonathan.

I have to help my sister.

I understand you perfectly.

You have to help your sister.

Exactly.

Then you have to make an effort and study more.

I have to improve.

[Phone rings]

Hello, mom, I'm delighted to speak to you.

I'm with León.

Let's see if we can persuade him to come and live with us...

All right.

We'll try to leave in five minutes.

Ciao.

I love you.

We're still living on our own.

The machinist, the journalist and I.

And you know what I'm going to be?

And when are you going to be a deputy?

First I have to become a member of a party.

Which one?

Center left or center right.

To me it's irreverent.

It you keep talking such rubbish they'll give you a show on TV.

My name is Jonathan Sánchez Cunqueiro.

[Jonathan] I've got Down's Syndrome.

I've got an intelligence quotient

[Jonathan] and I'm a student who's preparing his future

and I know that

we all have to die... sooner or later

And so do you!

- And so do I! - Now I've really done it.

Why don't you sign on at the factory?

I don't know where it is .

Didn't they give you

a paper at school with the address.

I tore it up, I thought it was silly

Well, it was to get a job in the factory.

It's advisable for us to work.

Raquel says it's more important to have a girlfriend.

A typical woman's remark.

- Hello. - Good morning, come in.

- Sit down, please. - What's it about?

Your six-month contract is up.

That's how it is. Every so often it's someone's turn.

There's no chance of renewing it?

I'm afraid not

But there is a chance you can work from home

Dancing is a very important way of relating.

It's a good opportunity

to get a boyfriend or girlfriend.

It's a complement of love.

And as love is fundamental, we're going to learn to dance.

- Let's learn to dance. - I can't do it.

Of course you can.

-Yes. -No!

You want me to show you?

Listening.

Listen to this., Just listen to it

[Music] Come on, move that body around..

Well?

Look how you let yourself go.

Well?

Have you thought about it?

You're not moving in with me.

-You know that I don't... -You're right.

I've been fucking fired.

I can help you, but...

I think I'm going to Africa.

It's over.

One idiot is enough for me.

I'm sorry.

Don't ever call me again,

all right?

[Olvido] My regards to your parents.

[Soft music]

León?

León? [Phone rings]

You answer it, León.

-Me? -Yes, please.

Hello?

Hello!

Yes.

Dido, it's Ivan.

Say I'm not in.

Dido says she's not in.

Please, take the phone.

I'm not for Ivan.

She's not in!

Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't realize.

- He said he wants to talk... - Hang up!

You're not family!

If the relationship is going nowhere,find another candidate.

Really?

You didn't need any.

Aren't you better on your own?

Beautiful.

Keep studying.

Do you want me to leave school?

Do you?

[Sings]

- How's that? - Good.

Aren't you getting in?

Close your eyes.

Can I look yet?

This is so nice.

Will I soap you down?

Why don't you date the girls at school?

Because they are ugly.

What kind of girls do you like?

[Sings and whistles]

Hello.

Do you like the sea?

It is not a sea exactly, it is an ocean.

It is.

But it's pretty.

And strange.

Yes, it's quite poetic.

Out there, far, far away, the Titanic sank.

And so did the Prestige,

but closer..

I don't like getting into politics, but...

I am against war.

My father drowned there.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

That's life.

There are storms, they don't wear life jackets

- You got a father? - Yes.

And a brother?

No.

A boyfriend?

I've got a sister, she's a real disaster.

But I don't have a girlfriend. I'm free right now.

Congratulations.

[Soccer commentator] Sergio, the Catalan, back to Jorge Andrade.

Who holds the position of Noureddine Naybet,

which left many matches unplayed.

"Affection through which one seeks real

or imagined well being."

I want to enjoy it.

Four letters.

I'll switch off the TV

I was joking.

- [León] What happened? - [Olvido] Shit...

-[León] What happened? -They've cut off the electricity

- [León] There's no... - [Olvido] Fuck you..

[León] Did you forget to pay?

[Olvido] Fuck off!

[León] Just when we were winning..

[Clock bell]

Dido, Dido!

I knew it!

What the hell are you doing here?

Fuck! I knew it!

No, do not go!

No!

[León] Don't go! Please, don't go.

Do not go, please.

Don't go, please! Don't leave me on my own.

You didn't get it, León.

-Tell me again. - You didn't get it.

It's impossible for you to get it.

[Olvido] Even if you wanted, you can't change.

Yes, I do.

You do not know what you're doing.

[León] Yes, I do..

I do what I want,

or what seems right to me.

You don't get anything.

Tell me again.

You will see how I understand.

Some bandits have a prisoner.

The man is locked up in the next room.

- He can't hear them. - Because he's locked up.

They decide to kill him.

They draw lots and one man has to do it.

He hides a gun inside his clothes.

and goes to the prisoner.

"We're going for a walk in the country.

[Olvido] You need some fresh air.

Maybe he didn't want to go out.

They go out.

It's nighttime.

The prisoner is scared.

"Where are we going?", he says.

"For a walk."

They walk through the trees.

[Olvido] It's very dark.

The prisoner says again, "Where are we going?"

"Don't worry, we're just going for a walk."

The wolves are howling,

there are strange noises.

The two men are scared and cling to each other.

"I'm so scared", says the prisoner.

And the bandit answers:

"What about me? I have to go back on my own."

"I'm so scared!" "I'm so scared!"

You didn't get it.

I'm really scared, I'm really scared.

You didn't get it.

Yes, I did get it! I did!

[León] But I don't want to explain it.

You don't explain jokes,

I have Down Syndrome and IQ!

And I've got rights! I'm a democrat.

Are you coming to sleep with me?

Again?

If you do, I'll let you play at pirates.

-[Olvido] But on one condition. - What?

Then you have to drink some juice.

Made from orange, apple and carrot.

I do not like carrots.

You'll hardly notice it.

I don't like carrots.

They're good for your eyesight.

Ship ho.

Ship ho.

Coming aboard!

- Surrender. -I won't surrender!.

[León] You have to surrender.

Say it.

You do notice the carrots.

[Sirens]

- [Olvido] How's he doing? - It's out of danger.

We were in time.

He needn't even spend the night here.

He says he only took what you gave him.

He also says he wants to be a gynecologist.

You can make all the jokes you want. I'm reporting this

Are you better?

No.

- But I'm going to change. - You're going to change.

I saw that I found a girlfriend.

and you found a job.

You saw it or you dreamed it?

I saw it.

Why not the reverse?

I find a boyfriend, you find work.

Shall I sing to you?

♪ Close your eyes, my darling, ♪

♪ Close your eyes my love ♪

♪ Close your eyes, my darling...♪

♪ close your eyes, both of them... ♪

♪ Your eyes, my precious... ♪

♪ your eyes, my love... ♪

[Olvido] Good Morning.

Do not worry, anyone sensible

Don't worry, it's hard for any sensible person to do this.

No, I'm here about the ad.

Better for me, worse for your boyfriend.

- Dámian. - Olvido.

[Door] [Man] Stay calm and do as I say!

-You, pussy, get over there - Take it easy.

Give me the money and don't do anything stupid, dickhead.

[Man] or I'll carve up all this slush

and the girl too.

All right.

Pussy.

Pussy, move.

Drop the knife.

Now, what? Who's the dickhead?

- Who's tacky? - [Man] I didn't say tacky.

Ugly, ugly, bastard.

[Man] Know what the police advise us to do?

Don't listen to them! Don't go crazy.

Get the fuck out of here!

[Damian] If I see you again, I'll blow your head off, moron.

Are you all right? This doesn't happen very often, but...

- Do you want some water or...? - I want a job.

The wages are low.

But it's all relative. If you don't have any wages.

-I need this job. -What do you do?

I sewed in a workshop.

You still haven't got over the fright, have you.

No.

Come... Come...

So...

So, you need a job.

You do not know how important it is to me.

I'm looking after a mongol brother.

But I don't want to blackmail you.

Well, yes, I do.

Do you like animals?

Do you have a pet?

No.

Do you have parents?

No.

Aren't there special centers

for people with Down's Syndrome?

He can't stand them.

He's been thrown out of several.

He isn't very keen to come out from under my skirts.

It's understandable.

León!

León!

León!

[León] I'm cooking.

Leóncito.

Here.

What is it?

Open it.

You're to use it.

I haven't got any money.

Here.

That's to start it off.

You smell awful.

Save part of what

Sure.

Now let's have dinner. We'll see if you're so sure

Pick up the paper from the floor.

And what's that?

A vase for me.

for when I'm given flowers.

I like this one best.

No, Nuria, it's very tight. I don't like it.

It has to be like this one.

[Mother of bride] Something simpler.

Simpler?

- This one is very nice. -No, I like this one.

In her state, none of them will suit her.

Mom, I want one of these.

Maybe this one would suit you.

This one is very loose. It might suit you

But I don't like it.

It's very original, look at the bows.

But it's not my style.

Can you help us and show those broader?

I have one that you will love.

[Bride] Don't you have it in white?

I think we do.

Don't you prefer champagne? I don't like white.

[Machines] [Indistinct talking]

- Are you...?? - León.

León?

Jonathan, look who's come to see you

Sit down.

I'll leave you on your own

so you can talk,

I'll go and have a coffee.

León.

will you stay until I come back?

[León] Yes, don't worry.

Thanks, love.

[Jonathan's mother] I won't be long.

- How are you? - Better.

Yesterday I was worse.

I think you're going to die.

No

I'm just a little bit ill.

Think...

I think you're going to die.

No.

The doctor told me I'd recover very soon.

Maybe you didn't understand him.

I'm better now.

That's what you think.

But your mother wouldn't be so sad.

And if you were all right you wouldn't have those things

They're for people who are very ill,

The Council pays for them.

You have to be careful crossing the street.

All that preparation for this.

What make was the car?

[Seductive music]

You look beautiful in it.

Wait here a minute?

- Hello. - Good morning, Olvido.

Are you sure?

Of course Sure, and delighted.

Take it off.

Damián wants to meet you.

Why?

Damián, León León, Damián

Hello, León, pleased to meet you.

- Don't we know each other? - Of course.

- How are you? - Fine.

but I'm in a hurry.

Why's that?

I have to go to class, to study.

Well! You're a studious man.

That's good.

But I think you can miss one day.

I don't know, maybe I can.

Olvido has to look after the shop.

You and I could go for a walk.

look at girls, see things.

Go shopping.

I didn't bring any money.

I have to save it all.

Don't worry, I've got some.

Another day, you can invite me.

Are you sure?

Trust me, León and I will get on perfectly.

Excuse me, is it yours?

Thank you.

-You see her? - The girl with the children?

With 30 euros, it's a deal.

30 euros is a lot.

No, it is not.

Some are a lot more expensive.

Look at that one?

[León] She's got a husband.

[Damian] But she's got a price too.

For 480 euros, we could take her to bed.

Where do we get all that money?

That's what distinguishes people.

It's not chromosomes,

It's the capacity to acquire money.

Then you can exchange money for whatever you want.

Good Morning.

Hello, you must be Olvido.

Yes.

- Isn't Damián here? - No.

I'm Laura, his wife.

Have you had many brides today?

We've had two commissions.

And how do you and Damián get on?

Perfectly well.

-Isn't he very demanding? -Not particularly.

At times he's a bit fussy.

And do you like working here?

Didn't he say where he was going?

I didn't ask him.

Of course,I didn't think you were so young.

You're just a child.

But Damián was right. Very pretty.

They love playing Pygmalion with someone like you.

I'll have to call in more often,

Now that I know you..

or I'll get jealous.

What about our purchase?

Seen anything interesting?

I'd rather say nothing.

León, there should be no forbidden fruits.

[Church Bells]

You should keep your personal

and professional life apart

Now I have to lose my job because

you aren't decent enough to prevent it.

The shop belongs to Laura too.

But you hired me.

Do I do my job badly?

Am I a bad timekeeper?

Have I been rude to a customer or my boss?

You know it isn't that.

She is jealous.

Then she should fire you.

And you fire me the day before

my trial period is up.

It's got nothing to do with that What's more...

I don't want to stop seeing you.

Yeah.

but I need the job.

Not because I like it.

but to earn money.

I can help you until you find something.

You what?

[Opens the door]

-She's screwed us -I'll go.

Damián, has the catalog arrived? You remember the one I mean?

[Damian] Of course. Here it is.

[Damian] I hope you see something.

I'll return it tomorrow.

Whenever you wish.

[Woman] Thanks a lot. Ciao.

Good afternoon.

I know I can't apologize.

But that's how things are,

And I want to keep seeing you..

I have to want that too

Of course.

But think about what's best for you.

And don't be scared or ashamed of being practical.

So I'll try.

[Doorbell]

[Girl] Hello, come in.

Are you crazy? You'll kill yourself?

You know what Russian roulette is?

That's a gun.

First I fire.

Then, if it's still your turn, you fire.

No!

You're so dramatic.

Want to try, darling?

No, I don't.

[Knocks the door]

[Olvido] León.

León, I'm going out.

You'll be on your own for 2 or 3 hours, or all night.

Don't worry.

[León] Do not worry!

- Good evening. -What the hell do you want?

- Olive oil. -Olive oil again?

Paprika.

Pepper?

- Paprika. - This paprika?

Right, that's it.

-The cod is all ready. -That was easy

You never miss one, do you?

No.

You're right, you earned it.

-You want to be sold in a market -What kind of market?

- Of slaves. -Slaves of who?

Of pirates.

The bad pirates? or the good ones?

Hello, Olvido. May I sit down?

I'm waiting for someone.

You're waiting for Damián, sweetheart.

but in the end we decided that I'd come.

You know what men are like.

They find it hard to be direct and clear.

They know we want to hear loving words

and all they want is to screw us a few times.

Of, if you prefer, fuck us.

I like fucking too.

I got that impression.

Want anything else?

[Laura] And you need money too.

You'll have seen how some brides

in order to buy a prettier dress for their wedding...

have to collaborate.

Drop their panties for others.

And it can pay for a lot more than a few dresses.

[Laura] Don't look shocked. It isn't that bad, as you know.

You fuck and you get paid.

And guys don't seem to mind paying to screw the brides.

We organize everything.

[Laura] and we propose being your first customers.

You're having me on.

We'd like to have you, but we'll pay.

And for a reasonable percentage we'll get you clients who...

aren't as unpleasant as the ones you'd find on the street.

Politicians, business men, professional people...

Does Damián know about this?

He's with Tigre waiting for your answer.

[Soft music]

[León] Shh!!

[Girls] Look! He's showing his dick!

A flasher!

What is it, girls?

He's showing his dick.

-He went that way! -Let's get him, come on

You can pick him up, behind the screen.

[Melancholic music]

[Olvido] Hello, Leóncito.

Hello.

You took your time looking for me.

- How are you? - Regular.

And you?

I'm regular too.

- Shall we go home? -That's all I want.

- [Olvido] Shit. - [León] What a fright.

[León] "I'm so scared.".

[joke] "I'm so scared." Do you remember?

Why have we come here?

[Olvido] Because we're sick of people.

[León] We could be sick of them at home.

León.

What happened with that girl yesterday?

Won't you tell me me?

I don't really remember.

Is she pretty?

Prettier than I am?

You each have your own style.

- Take this. - Not again?

[Olvido] It's very good.

Wine disagrees with me.

This wine is special.

-A nun's wine? -[Olvido] She isn't a nun.

She's a saint.

Today it's my turn.

Do I get a prize if I bring you the flower?

[Olvido] Ship ho.

Come on!

Coming aboard!

Beautiful!

[Shots] What are you doing?!

What are you doing?!

[León] You are crazy?!

It's always the same.

It's like mom said.

Only the family matters.

And you have to respect my freedom.

Cigarettes will kill you.

Want me to sing to you?

Yeah?
