Enter, please.

We have the best lunch.

Beans or lentils.

Chicken or beef.

Potato salad, papaya desert.

Enter.

Welcome.

What can I bring you today?

What's the special for today?

We have beans or lentils.

Chicken or beef.

Potato salad, papaya desert.

Beans please.

There’s only lentil.

Chicken or beef?

The chicken is...

Chicken.

What will you drink?

Mango juice or Russian lemonade?

How’s the Russian lemonade?

Lemonade.

It’s just that I ordered chicken.

Yes sir, that’s what I mean.

Until you complete all required papers.

Hi there boy.

Yes, you have to bring me all the papers first.

Yes, you have to bring them all.

Fa-ra-fa-ra-fa... Farfán...

Hi Farfán.

And he has a dog that always answers nature’s call just in front of my house.

So I had to take drastic measures and poisoned the dog.

No more apologies, no more excuses, no more delays.

At that moment, the place was invaded…

…by a huge amount of people.

And what if, what if we changed that.

It’s just a little clause.

I mean, to make things more practical.

And use things perfectly and correctly.

How can I throw her out?

You are sleeping somewhere…

…and they wake you up kicking you.

And they told me that I had to bring another paper.

I do not have anyone to turn to…

My things already founded, my style, my look.

Think of a fusion between the notary’s office and the Community Action Council.

Please collaborate with me.

I was here a couple of days ago.

Hello?

Hello.

Nardito?

You are something uhh?

I do not call you and you just disappear from the face of earth.

You are really slippery uhh?

You play too hard to get.

Let’s meet.

You just tell me when.

Tomorrow if you want.

Tomorrow is a mess for me, a very big mess.

Let’s arrange something for next week, right?

Ok, let’s do that Nardito.

How is it going Nardito?

Fine, I’m doing fine.

Well there is one thing that…

…but why worry you with that.

Don’t tell me not to worry because I start to worry.

What happened Nardito?

It’s nothing.

The people at the real state office are bullying me again.

Are you behind on your payments again bro?

That’s what they say, that I am supposedly behind.

I see.

But I guess you kept the receipts.

You know how well organized I am.

Of course I have the receipts.

It’s just that these people don’t understand that…

Hey bro, it occurs to me that maybe…

…you could help me out on this one.

Help you out with how much Nardito?

Not much, just a little money.

Three stupid million pesos.

Three million pesos?

Yes, lend me that money.

That would give me a breather.

I don’t know. Perhaps you don’t remember.

You haven't even paid me back the last loan.

Fantastic! Now you rub it in my face.

Rub it in my face, you know?

No, it’s not that.

It's just that…

…I haven't had time to square off my finances...

I am moneyless.

No. I’m glad I’m getting to know your true self.

I’m really glad.

That’s really nice of you, really nice.

Nardito.

Go to hell.

Nardito.

Bernardo?

Hello?

Hello. Elsita?

Antonio.

What’s up Elsita?

What about the children?

They’re fine.

Do me a favor please.

Is Nardito home?

Hold on.

Bernardo!

What is it?

Bernardo, your brother is on the phone.

Tell him I'm not home.

But he already heard.

But why did you…

Midget.

Give me the phone.

Hello.

Hello. Bernardo?

Yes, what do you want?

I don't want to leave things with you this way.

Oh, OK.

Look, I've been thinking and...

Elsita. This is a miracle from God!

My brother Antonio thinks. How about that?

I'm not calling you to argue...

As I said, I've been thinking and...

I think I can find a way to lend you the money.

The thing is…

…I'm very upset with you, so very upset...

…and I don’t feel like talking to you.

But Nardo.

Drop that Nardo bullshit. We'll talk later.

Good morning.

Your bill, sir.

What do you mean?

The doorman gave me your bill by mistake.

And, this is my bill?

Yes sir, now I better get going.

Why do you have my bill?

That’s what I’m saying.

The doorman is incompetent.

And gave me two bills sir, yours and mine.

Irritating.

Irritating.

Now, if you excuse me.

But it's not overdue, is it?

No, I don’t think so.

It arrived just yesterday.

Do you wish to come in?

I can offer you a cup of coffee.

No, thanks.

I have to get to work.

So, perhaps another day.

OK then. Thank you very much.

No, now if you excuse me.

And I told her, “no I am the manager”.

Hey look.

Good morning.

Good morning.

The stairs almost killed me.

They are so steep.

May I talk to Mister Vanegas?

Yes, sir. Your name please?

Please tell him it’s Jorge.

Sir, it is Mister Jorge.

I have to tease this guy.

Please come in.

Thank you.

They are the same.

Cover me please.

Watch this.

May I help you with something?

Don't pretend that you didn't notice Fanfarria.

Did you see him?

See who?

Look, he's your spitting image.

He looks just like your twin brother, man.

Can't you see I'm busy?

He’s your spitting image.

I even had a hard time telling you apart at first.

I'm busy Gonzalez. I am working.

Look, look.

The same shiny head and all.

Have some respect!

Easy, you're definitely better looking.

Gonzalez!

You're better looking, what can I do?

I warn you.

Don’t think you can speak to me that way.

Hey handsome.

You’re delicious.

Gonzalez. Let's step outside and solve this like men do.

What's going on here?

Mister Cubillos, it’s Gonzalez that…

Now you're telling on Gonzalez.

This isn't school Farfán.

Get to work.

Yes sir.

Beatriz, please.

Sergio, Jairo.

Come on Farfán.

All of you, come quickly please.

Come please.

Come on Farfán, hurry up.

Late as usual.

Silence all, silence.

Shush!

Thank you.

Please.

Mister Vanegas has an important announcement to make.

Workmates.

You all know I'm not a man of many words.

But this time, I feel I must thank you all for…

…these three wonderful years of your company.

I have just heard some important news which fills me with pleasure.

The foreign minister has decided…

…to ask for my services as the ambassador to Switzerland.

Bravo.

Congratulations sir.

Thank you.

Since it is a call of duty from my country…

…as well as an important step in my career…

…I decided to accept this offering.

This means that I will have to…

…retire from this office as Notary.

I have already submitted my answer to the ministry and…

…as of next week…

…Mister Jorge Enriquez will relieve me in my duties.

I wish to thank all of you once again…

…for the work you have been doing here…

…and to wish you all the success in your lives.

Young man.

Would you please be so kind…

Help me to my apartment.

What happened to you?

It’s alright, it’s alright, have a seat that...

That’s right. Lie down there.

Raise your feet. That’s right.

Now you can have some rest and feel better.

Get well then.

Young man.

The…

The p…

The pills…

The what?

The pills beneath the bathroom sink.

What pills sir?

The yellow bottle.

All of them. Which ones?

Those.

Are you feeling better?

Sir, sir.

Please don't die on me sir, please don’t.

Fanfarria.

What’s up?

Shake it, shake it.

Spin, spin.

Hey, come over here boy.

Please make yourself comfortable Farfán.

Delicious, right?

Yes, it’s tasty.

So, when do you plan to travel sir?

Approximately in two weeks.

Switzerland must be a nice place.

Switzerland must be a quiet place.

Yes.

And is your family…

…happy about moving?

And for the kids.

Learning another language.

What language do they speak in Switzerland?

What language do they speak in Switzerland?

Yes, yes.

Do you ski sir?

Do you ski sir?

What?

Sir, did you know that a modification was made…

…to law 45 for Business Authentications?

Hey Farfán, don't you want a beer or something?

No sir.

Of course you do.

Come here and do me a favor.

Take this man to the fridge and give him a beer.

Try the Swiss one.

I’ll be right back so we can continue this conversation.

One moment please ladies and gentleman.

Let’s stop this party for a moment.

Gonzalez!!

Silence, please.

I wanted to stop the party to introduce you all to Mister Enriquez.

So this farewell party…

…can also be a welcome party for your new boss.

Mister Enriquez, please, come in.

I give you your staff.

A round of applause for Mister Enríquez.

Come Farfán, come.

A picture of you both!

Hey, hey Gonzalez.

I want that picture.

Send it to my e-mail.

They are eminences.

Natural elevations of the terrain.

So, what's the third path then?

There are three ways in this carrousel:

English, birth control and menstruation.

Of course they are.

More coffee son?

Did you see or what?

What’s wrong with you dumbo?

Did you see?

We've got a new coworker.

New meat.

She is so doable, huh?

What?

So doable... I can’t wait to get into that.

I'd do her the favor.

Just what we need.

The new Notary's girlfriend.

As if we needed an extra pair of legs around here.

An extra pair of legs.

Everyone gather round please.

Please come.

I wish to begin my work here as the chief of this office…

…by establishing clear parameters.

As you all know, in the Ministry's last internal briefing…

…our Notary’s office has been reported…

…for 25 disciplinary cases of various kinds:

13 for corruption, 5 for consensual negligence…

…and the rest are ongoing investigations.

It’s not the best situation.

But I believe we all can turn it around with hard work.

I won't lie to you.

I will personally analyze all reports.

I know many of you are doing an excellent job.

But I'm afraid there will be people we will have to let go…

…after these investigations run their course.

On the other hand, I want to tell you that…

…starting tomorrow, we will begin a renovation process of our offices…

…and a thorough updating of our internal procedures.

We'll have to be patient while the work is done.

It’s going to be very annoying.

I also want you to be receptive to the new technologies.

If any doubts, I will be in my office at your disposal.

So I invite all of you to give it your best…

…to make this Notary one of the best in the city and…

…why not, in the country.

That's all.

Let’s get to work then.

Hello.

What?

How are you?

I'm Eduardo, from the Being Foundation.

And today is the "free hug day".

How was it?

How was what?

Well, the hug.

It’s just that a hug is a…

Hold on.

A hug is the gathering of four arms holding onto life.

Good for you.

But…

My friend, wait.

My friend, I used to be just like you.

What?

I used to be shy too you know.

But, in the Being Foundation…

…I went into a “Shyness-Gone-for-good” workshop and look at me now.

I can do this and this and this.

And I'm no longer embarrassed, how about that?

Sir, I’m busy right now. I'm in a hurry.

Why don't you sign up for our next workshop?

You'll meet people, have a good time. It's great.

No!

Think about it.

It’s never too late to change.

Life is a gift given from God in exchange for our happiness.

Come here Farfán.

What happened?

They already fired the first one.

Scary huh?

Yes, scary.

What’s going on here?

Restructuring, Farfán.

They changed your workplace.

You’re at my desk now.

Oh, I thought that…

What?

What did you think?

That you were the poor bastard?

Look Farfán, I put all of your junk in this box.

Unbelievable.

Excuse me.

My friend, my friend.

So?, so?

So, what?

What did you decide?

About what?

About the workshop for shyness.

No, it’s just that I can’t.

But it’s free, like the hugs.

I said no!

Ok then.

Hey baby.

Hello Eddy.

I’d like to introduce you to Antonio. He’s come to sign up for the ST-1.

A shy one?

Yes, but one who wants to better himself. That’s what matters most.

Yes. That’s true.

Would you be so kind as to give me your personal info?

I don’t think I’ll be able to.

It’s at the same time of the day that…

…the lessons…

…the Mandarin lessons…

…that I’m taking so…

…I will go to the institute, it’s nearby.

And I will find out if we can arrange something.

I’ll be back later.

Or maybe tomorrow.

What a pity.

Eduardo.

So what brings you here?

This is Antonio, he was here to sign up for the ST-1.

But he changed his mind.

Is that so?

What happened?

It’s just that I don’t…

Don’t worry.

It’s normal, the way you’re feeling.

It’s not wrong to be afraid.

Pleased to meet you, my name is Yovanny Celis.

Instructor and founder of the Being Foundation.

Making up excuses to not spend some time on yourself.

You know something?

Antonio is a good man.

A good man that is just scared.

But I wonder, is it wrong to feel afraid?

Yes sir.

No.

No, it’s not wrong.

It’s not wrong to feel afraid.

Antonio is a good man that deserves to get back in touch with Antonio.

Antonio.

Come to us.

Sign up.

Give us a hug.

Sir.

The documents.

Jorge, I need a moment of your time as well.

Hi, how are you doing?

Very well. I’m still adjusting.

If you feel misplaced in any way…

…I’ve got Farfán here to help you, right?

Have you been introduced?

No.

Don’t kid me.

You work practically in front of each other…

…and you still haven’t been introduced?

Antonio Farfán. Nora Franco.

Nice to meet you.

On top, the authorizations…

and underneath the death certificates.

Do you know anything about the case with the boy…

and his father’s death certificate?

Yes.

A death certificate is issued…

…with erroneous information…

…therefore it has no legal effects…

…for the deceased…

…shows as alive.

The reason for the legal petition began when the son, a minor…

…attempted to leave the country accompanied by his mother…

…and a written permission is demanded…

…for the deceased is legally alive.

How are you today gentlemen?

Today we have peas, chickpeas and zucchini.

The main course is grilled beef or chicken.

And what about the soup?

The soup?

Fruit banana or potato with no chicken.

Hurry up man, I have more tables to attend.

Calm down, we haven’t decided yet.

The beans they serve here are delicious.

What about the beans?

Just the chickpeas.

The chickpeas...

The chickpeas...

Look, I have other tables to attend…

and I cannot wait on you indefinitely.

Hey kid, you are going to wait until we make our order.

Without rushing us.

Yes, but it’s rush hour you know.

I cannot wait on you only.

Ooh you are so scary.

Call the manager then.

Who is the manager here?

Can the manager please come here?

No, it’s just that…

…it’s rush hour you know.

Yes boy but, take it easy. Calm down.

Yes, sir.

So, may I have the beans please?

We may only have the chickpeas, right?

The chickpeas.

I’ll tell you but one word about that.

Go on.

When we already had been married for five years…

…more than five years.

We had two kids with Matilde.

I used to work for the government…

…supervising some things for the land reform.

And I had to go and visit the crops.

One of those crops had problems with the boundaries.

So I had to go and check it every week.

It was quite far away.

And sometimes I had to stay for the night.

The landholders had many people working for them in the area.

One of the families was Mr. Fernei, rest in peace.

They had a daughter. Doris, younger than I.

I noticed the flirting in her eyes.

But I was very much in love with my wife.

One afternoon, I was at the farm…

…and Doris was picking coffee beans.

It was very hot that afternoon.

She came to offer me some water and I took it.

We chatted for a while.

And suddenly…

…I stayed there staring at her.

Her work clothes had a cleavage.

And then and there…

Did you score?

Did you do her?

Shut your filthy mouth!

That was the worst mistake in my life.

Doris was in love with me.

After that I had to flee…

…because Mister Fernei wanted to kill me.

When I got home, Matilde already knew everything.

I hurt her.

I’ll never forgive myself for that.

I hurt my dear Matilde very much.

Did you know that if you waste your sperm, you live a lot less?

What?

Yes, sperm is the secret to eternal youth.

If you spend them all in your youth, you dry up inside and get cramps.

Interesting.

I like you, sonny.

Hello.

Hey bro, why so serious?

Are you busy?

Bernando?

You are something, huh?

I have to call you all the time for you to show up.

How are you doing?

I’m doing good, Nardito.

How about you?

I’m fine. Things are improving.

One has to be optimistic in life.

I’m fine and moving forward.

Well then.

Thank goodness you are fine.

How’s the family?

Elsita and the children?

Unfortunately she is fine.

And the children, well they are growing up…

…playing all over the place. That’s all they do.

Hey bro.

I called you because this one thing.

Yes, tell me.

Remember the loan you offered me the other day?

Yes, Nardito.

I’ll take your word for it.

Yes, what the hell.

That’s what family are for, right?

That’s what I say Nardito. What the hell.

Perfect.

I can count on you. I can always count on you.

That’s right, we are family.

You don’t worry Nardito, count on it.

That’s exactly what I say. The family, right?

See you tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Fantastic. Just tell me where.

The Lasker, at six?

Excellent.

May I invite you for a drink or something?

Of course you may.

Let’s drink a couple of beers then.

Let’s meet and talk and we’ll see.

Yes, I’m happy we’ll talk Nardito.

Bro, I know you are busy.

You are a very busy man.

I’ll leave you to your things.

No. Okay Nardito.

I send you a hug so tomorrow…

…you won’t say that I don’t care about you.

Thank you, the same for you.

Hey bro, take care.

Yes sir, the same for you.

Very well.

Come on.

Give it all you’ve got.

Be confident.

Be a winner.

Some years ago…

…this was me.

I remained in silence in front of people…

although I had tons of things to say.

Now, I look at all of you…

…and I feel like I’m looking through the mirror of the past.

When I’m really the mirror of the future.

When we finish this workshop…

…we will look at each other as overcome shy people in the mirror of the present.

I used to be shy and lost precious time of my life being shy.

All of you are shy and lose precious time of your lives being shy.

Today is the day all of you begin to change all of this.

You will be less shy today than yesterday.

And tomorrow, even less than today.

Now my dear students.

I want all of you…

…to introduce yourselves and tell the rest of the group why you are here.

You.

Tell us who you are and why you are here.

A very good afternoon to you all.

My name is Raúl Quintero and I’m a chemist.

Chemist.

Please tell us why you are here.

Because I’m very shy.

Because he’s very shy.

Well, let’s give a round of applause to Raul.

Very well Raúl.

You.

Who are you and what are you doing here?

I’m Sonia Ramirez.

And I’m here because they forced me.

So they forced you.

And why did they force you?

Because my mom is worried…

because I spend the entire day locked up in my room listening to heavy metal...

and says that if I don't find some friends, she won't give me money.

It doesn’t make me laugh.

Very well Sonia.

Thank you very much.

Let’s see.

You.

Yes, you.

What’s your story?

Doggy, you ain't gonna beat me.

Hi Nardito.

No, the man can play.

I’ve never beaten him.

He is the Colombian Bobby Fischer.

Hey Nardito.

Don’t worry. These things just happen.

Shut up, please shut up.

But Nardito.

I said shut up. Shut the hell up.

You made me lose.

But Nardito, what happened?

You just had to come in and distract me.

I just about had that pig…

…and then you came to fu…

Shit!

Bernardo.

I brought you the money.

I brought only a half.

I couldn’t get it all.

What the hell am I supposed to do with half of the money?

If I asked for all of it, it was because I needed all of it.

Some brother I’ve got.

Sissy loser.

You are toying with my integrity, with my good name.

You are selling my signature!

You leave this place before I call the cops, you swine!

Are you okay?

The whole world fell on top of you.

Hey, you have to wipe your…

Do you want a handkerchief?

Yes, thank you.

Hey Farfán, what a mess.

You’ll have to pay for the keyboard.

But…

And you Miss…

Redo all this.

What do you mean?

You didn’t explain to me what I had to do.

Let's see.

Haven’t you worked at a Notary’s office before?

What’s your point?

That if you don’t have what it takes to do your job…

…you just have to say so.

Anyhow, you did everything wrong. Do it again.

Mister Cubillos.

What?

You are my favorite boss.

Dumb.

And I asked her when the baby was due.

And the woman asked me what baby.

Well your baby ma’am.

And she stood up like crazy and said:

“I am not pregnant…

and your belly is bigger than mine stupid bald man.”

Don’t you feel like having some desert?

Yes, yummy.

Now…

Helena has me on a diet because…

my belly makes me look pregnant.

I believe we can still fit a lemon pie in there.

Lemon pie?

Do you like it?

My favorite.

Mine too.

Thank you very much for sharing that with us.

Antonio.

What’s your story?

Well, as I don’t consider myself…

a shy person.

I can’t think of…

any story to tell.

Tell us about your relationships with women then.

Well, Mister Celis, what to say.

Things are doing well in that department.

Very well.

Good, then tell us something.

We're all here to hear your story.

That’s why we’re here, right?

There are many, many stories.

Have someone else speak, have her speak.

If there are so many, pick one and share it with us.

Come on Antonio.

Antonio, Antonio.

This is the story about when Antonio made…

…passionate love…

…to a woman.

Who else but a woman?

Behind some coffee plants.

Wooooo.

What was the lucky lady’s name?

Nora.

Nora, a lady from Bogota, a woman.

She is passionate…

…pretty…

…pretty and mature…

She's been working at the Notary for a couple of days.

You had passionate sex with a lady you just met?

Yes, I’m just that effective with the ladies.

But if you just met her…

…when did you have time to take her to the coffee lands?

We didn’t travel to the coffee lands.

It was during a visit to the botanic gardens.

They have coffee plants there.

I have seen them.

And it happened there, behind the coffee plants.

Mmm, fatty.

Why don’t you tell us another one?

Let's see.

To make up another reality to avoid dealing with yourself is not correct.

Learn from me, humbly.

And maybe what you fantasize today, may become true tomorrow.

And why can't it be true?

I made love to a lady in the botanic gardens.

I have been there and they have…

different kinds of coffee plants.

All those coffee plants…

have their names just behind.

Next to the cafeteria, it all happened there.

Besides, I’m a terrific lover.

Women thank me.

And I am willing to prove it right now.

Keep your charms to yourself fatty.

Enough Raúl.

Farfán, I need to talk to you.

Of course Mister, whenever you wish.

You don’t understand, it has to be now.

I can’t. I’m in the middle of something.

Farfán, man.

It has to be now.

Okay Mister, tell me.

But not here.

Let’s meet in the bathroom.

Get back to work.

What happened?

Look Farfán.

I need a favor.

I don't know if you've noticed but…

…Mr. Enriquez goes around asking questions that…

…give me a bad feeling. You get me?

No sir.

Don’t pretend Farfán.

You know there are some things that go on here…

that are perfectly normal…

…and no one pays attention to.

We do favors for other people, everyone knows that.

And now, the new Notary is…

…straighter than an arrow…

…and is demanding follow ups that we never had to do before.

Don’t you get it Farfán?

Look.

If that guy begins to pry everywhere more than he should…

…we’ll all get screwed.

And I’m sure neither one of us wants that to happen, right?

What I need…

…as you are friends with Mister Enriquez…

…is that if he calls you in and asks about me…

…you just answer that I’m an honest guy.

Don’t give any other explanations.

You wouldn’t be telling a lie or anything.

I only have a question Mister Cubillos.

What do you mean by we’ll all get screwed?

Farfán.

Don’t tell me you haven’t bent the rules…

…to help a friend.

No, I haven’t.

And frankly I don’t know and don’t want to know what you’re talking about.

Because I’m an honest person.

And your innuendos offend me.

Farfán, you and I have been working here for a long time.

We've seen this place grow from scratch.

As a friend, help me with Mr. Enriquez.

Mr. Cubillos, you and I are not friends.

Look imbecile.

What about the forged signature then?

You know I have nothing to do with that.

Yeah sure!

Sergio and you pressured me into doing that.

Is that so?

Yes.

Well, that’s not what Mr. Enriquez is going to hear from me.

Look Cubillos.

Then do your worst.

But don’t think you can fuck with me!

Cubillos, please come.

Good morning miss.

How are you doing today?

I want to register this deed please.

Please go to the office with the man in pink shirt over there.

Thanks a lot miss.

Hey bro!

What a surprise.

Hi Raúl.

No way Antonio.

Let’s practice the handshake we learned…

at the self improvement group.

Are you okay Toño?

Please forgive me bro.

Let me see.

Are you okay Antonio?

It’s nothing.

He hit him on his pretty head.

It’s a pleasure to meet you. Raúl.

Nora.

Stop evading my questions as if I were an idiot Cubillos.

I already gave you a chance to explain clearly…

the inconsistencies in these documents.

Please give me the opportunity to talk to Sergio…

and find out exactly what happened.

You know exactly what happened Cubillos.

Don’t think I’m stupid.

Why do you think I fired that guy?

Cubillos, you have two options.

Either you resign…

or I fire you and begin an audit.

Your choice.

But sir, let me explain.

I’ve already heard. You slip and slide here.

Or are you going to tell me you didn't forge Mr. Vanegas' signature?

No sir, it wasn’t me.

Look Cubillos, you leave me no choice.

This is your last day as an employee of this Notary.

You leave right away.

Get to work, bunch of idiots!

What are you laughing at Farfán?

Something funny with my face or what?

No sir, I’m not laughing at anything.

Pig.

Raul, I’ve got to get back to work.

Yes, me too.

I have to finish this thing.

Excuse me.

Hey bro.

Hey bro.

How are you doing Antonio?

How are you Bernando?

Fine.

Hey bro, I came here for two reasons.

First, what happened the other day was horrible.

That can’t happen again between us brothers.

You said some nasty things.

But I already forgave you.

It’s up to you if you can forgive me.

On the other hand…

despite that you were very rude to me…

…that you failed to give me…

those resources I need…

…I came here for whatever amount you have on you.

Better something than nothing at all.

Bernardo, it’s just that I’m not lending you the money.

Stop kidding me.

Let’s just go to the ATM.

The people at the real estate office are waiting for me.

I’m serious Bernardo.

I don’t want to lend you money anymore.

So that’s the way you want to play it?

May I inquire why you won’t give me my money?

Yes, you may.

First of all, lower your voice, you are in my office.

Second, it’s not your money. I am lending you money…

…but I don’t want to lend you money anymore because you never pay me back.

Oh, so the little sissy…

can talk like a man.

Have some respect, this is where I work!

And what if I don’t?

You will tell on me with your boyfriends here?

Did you tell them? Tell them.

Tell them you’ve never been with a woman.

Because he's never been with a woman.

Tell them. Do you all know why?

Because he’s always been a reject…

…the laughing stock of the world.

Have you seen yourself in the mirror Antonio?

No wonder women flee…

when they see you come close.

Enough. Shut up or I’ll have you kicked out here.

Gonzalez, tell security to get this man out of here!

Do it yourself if you are so gutsy.

Get out Bernardo.

Gonzalez, call security!

Hey brother, I don’t recognize you anymore.

Don’t worry. I can leave on my own.

Because I do have dignity.

And you forget you ever had a brother.

Son of a bitch.

What’s up?

You are all valuable.

Your body is beautiful.

No one can do you harm.

I love you.

I love each and every one of you.

But we have to love ourselves first.

Repeat with me:

I have to love myself.

I have to love myself, I have to love myself.

Give us a hug.

Damn.

I’m sorry Mr. Pedro.

I spilled some coffee over my sweater...

and I don’t want it to get stained.

My mother knitted this sweater for me before she died…

…and I can’t let it get ruined.

Your mother? What a pity.

And how’s your health doing Mr. Pedro?

Well I ain't dead yet.

You shouldn't say such a thing Mr. Pedro.

Is something wrong with your stomach son?

No, sir.

There’s nothing you can do about the smell…

…but for the stomach ache the best thing is mixing oregano with marjoram.

But, it wasn’t me Mr. Pedro.

You let out the fart and blame me.

What did you say?

It’s nothing, Mr. Pedrito. Please sit down.

No, you stand up.

Get out of my house.

You shameless fool, fascist.

I knew I smelt something rotting.

It wasn’t the farts but the stinking spirit of Laureano Gómez.

Murderers, rapists. Your day will come.

I’m not afraid of you.

I've got clubs and pyres waiting for you.

Check mate.

Check mate. Check mate.

Hello, how are you?

Hi babe.

This is Antonio. He works with me at the office.

Nice to meet you.

Antonio Farfán, nice to meet you.

I’m going to change these shoes.

Excuse me.

Love, the taxes for the country house.

Please don’t forget to do that.

It’s okay Farfán. Nothing happened.

Sit down.

Sit down. Nothing happened.

What a shame sir.

Come on Farfán.

¿Mr. Pedro?

¿Mr. Pedro?

¿Mr. Pedro?

¿Mr. Pedro?

Mr. Pedrito.

Are you okay?

I’ll bring the pills.

No.

It doesn’t matter.

The pills are over.

Keep me company.

Nonsense Mr. Pedro.

I’ll call an ambulance and they’ll take care of you.

No.

Keep me company please.

Come in closer son.

What will my last words be?

You are not dying yet Mr. Pedro.

What’s happening to me Toño?

My uncles began to put off the succession…

…and left us without a dime.

What did I have to do?

Work at night and study during the day.

Just like you.

It was during that time that I met Helena.

I wanted to win her heart.

I thought she was wonderful.

Though I was already a bit overweight and my hair had begun to fall off.

I didn’t give up because she was the prettiest woman on earth.

Sometimes I wonder why she chose me.

It’s hot.

I’ll bet that with the ladies…

you have to do the same as me.

You work hard with your tongue.

No, no, I mean.

I think I’m getting a bit drunk.

Well sir, I’ve always been better…

at repelling women than attracting them.

As I’m not like… I mean.

I mean, who do you think…

would want to fall in love with a guy like me sir?

Well, Helena.

Excuse me?

Helena, my wife.

No sir, why would you say such thing?

I have huge respect for your wife and for you.

And I can’t believe you are thinking that…

Hey Farfán, don’t be dumb.

Aren't we the same?

And yet, she ended up marrying me Farfán.

Farfán, can’t you see?

We are the same.

Or why do you think people laugh when they see us together at the office?

So you noticed the laughs behind your back?

They are something.

Farfán, I may be fat, bald and short, but I'm not stupid.

Not that some people don’t think that they can…

push me around because of my looks.

But tell me Farfán, why haven’t you married?

It’s not that simple sir.

No, it’s not, but being alone can’t be simple either.

Well that depends…

…because I don’t see myself…

taking care of a son, or a dog, or a pet.

I couldn’t deal with that.

It’s been hard enough to learn to live with myself.

But would it not be easier with some company?

It’s just that…

when you are not like everybody else.

I mean.

I’m not like that sir.

It might work for everyone else.

But it does not work for me.

Yes, sometimes we all like to think of ourselves as special…

…but it isn’t true.

Sir, with all due respect. I may be fat, bald and short, but I’m not stupid.

If the way people live works for them…

…I’m fine with that.

But it does not work for me.

Okay then, like a Creole existentialist.

No sir, no.

To tell you the truth…

…it’s just that I don’t know what I want.

I don’t.

It started to rain.

We better get inside because we have to leave for Bogota early.

This one is fine.

Well, have some rest.

The sweater.

Where did I put the sweater?

The sweater.

Damn, I left it outside.

The sweater.

The sweater, I lost the sweater.

Fucking sweater.

Fuck!

Bernardo, how are you?

I came to tell you that…

…I’m thankful for all that you did for me.

And to tell you that…

…I care for you very much.

But I also wanted to tell you that…

I won’t lend you any more money…

…because I can’t…

…but also because I don’t want to.

Because I just don't.

I hope that, in time, you understand.

And we can get back to what we were.

Brothers.

So, Bernardo.

I really hope you can clean up your act.

Good bye Bernardo.

And, about the money…

…the money you owe me, don’t worry.

You don’t owe me anything.

Good bye Bernardo.

Hello to all.

First of all, I want a round of applause for all the ex-shy people tonight!

Well, we finished at last.

I want to thank all of you…

for your patience during this overhaul.

I know it wasn’t easy.

But this small change in structure…

…will surely make our jobs easier and more efficient.

Getting down to what we came for.

I pronounce this notary officially inaugurated.

Let’s eat the cake.
