100 metros Page #5

---

Who can make plans?

You've been lucky.

You've met your grandsons.

I've also seen my wife die.

That's luck for you.

You miss her, don't you?

Missing her is nothing.

You've got a shitty disease,

with your limping and your hand.

But I think we all have

a degenerative,

incurable disease which is life.

If I knew that having your disease

all my feelings would disappear,

I'd trade places with you

in a heartbeat.

Well, I'm off to sleep.

What's up with that woman?

What woman?

What do you mean what woman?

The weird one at the beach.

Mind your own business.

Mind your own business.

You're an amazing man.

You're an amazing woman.

You're more amazing.

No, you're more amazing.

I know it.

You bastard!

You always have to win.

Always.

You're gross!

Remember when

my father caught us here?

I've got bad memory

but that's unforgettable.

It wasn't the best way

for you two to meet.

No.

ut now you're great.

It's incredible how things change.

Since I was diagnosed with...

You weren't diagnosed.

We were diagnosed.

Thank you, Inma.

Thanks for everything.

Thanks for loving me this way,

faulty and misshapen.

Don't get all excited,

I'm doing it out of interest.

Don't forget it.

So you have to love me

when I can't do my hundred meters.

And I know you'll be there

because I'm going to need you.

Let's go.

- Where?

- Into the water.

You're getting into the water

with 2,000 other guys and not me?

Manolo, you've got Wi-Fi.

Welcome to the past century.

Take that away from my house.

Everything was better

the past century.

- Come in.

- Hello, gentlemen.

- Noelia!

- How are you?

Hi.

How are you?

Christmas sweets.

Christmas Sweets Noelia!

Yes, my father's factory

makes them.

So he called them like you.

No. He called me like his factory.

He loved it a lot.

Manolo, thanks so much

for inviting me.

I'm really excited.

Sure.

Sure, okay.

You know...

I'm going for a run, I have to train.

But...

See you.

Bye.

Bye!

All right.

What happened?

Is she still here?

What did you do?

You set this up, didn't you?

Yeah, I asked her out for you.

I set up your Facebook profile.

How did it go?

You did what?

I'm going to rip your head off!

I did it for you.

Who asked you

to do anything for me?

I told you to mind your business.

Listen...

I'm sure Pili would have wanted...

What the f*** do you know

about what others want?

What Pili wants!

Worry about yourself,

you've got it bad enough.

Yeah.

Everyone's dealt their hand.

ut you have to play it.

You want to play your hand?

How would you feel if you suddenly

lost Inma,

my daughter?

Would you keep on happily running?

Would you be so excited

to do your Ironman?

You can't always hide

from your problems by running.

Like you did with the Tour?

Or better yet. Tell me...

How did the roof fall?

There's the door.

Training is over.

- You've always hated me.

- Get out.

And another thing.

Life doesn't owe you

a f***ing thing.

Get out of my house.

It'll be my pleasure.

How is it going?

How do you feel?

Any warnings lately?

No, nothing.

Good, that's good.

That means the drugs are working.

And how's your training?

I think I'm going back to work.

Yeah?

Are you sure?

Yes.

I haven't got any sick leave left

and there are bills to pay.

I see.

Good. You're doing pretty well.

Hi.

You're looking good.

Yeah.

Well, after the infusion

I feel like sh*t for a week.

And my right eye

works on optic fiber

but the left one on copper wire.

So with this eye

I receive delayed images,

and end up seeing things

that are already in the past.

Well...

It would be better

to see the future, right?

You'd make a killing.

Well...

I prefer the past.

You're a myth around here.

They can't stop talking

about your competition.

Yeah?

What do they call me?

Forrest Gump with sclerosis?

They say they want to be like you.

Bye.

Ramn!

Do you think I could train with you

some day?

Sure.

Ariadna.

Do you have a proposal for Frankfurt?

No.

ut I do have a proposal for myself.

Fire me, please.

What?

I can't work.

I've been training for months,

and thought I could but I can't.

I can't work.

What's the matter with you?

I've got multiple sclerosis.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not paying severance

or giving you sick leave.

If you can run, you can work.

You can quit if you want.

Very good.

That's it, great.

Well, well, well.

Ariadna,

you're back on the ballet bar.

What is it?

I can't see you.

She's had a very tough relapse.

What can I do?

Run.

Run for me, all right?

Yeah!

What have you wished for?

- Eating cake.

- Your wish has been granted.

How are you, Dad?

Great, I'm fantastic.

I'm training again.

Really?

Great.

Who?

A phenomenon, a huge guy.

You'll see.

The truth is...

I'm a magnet

for good athletes.

Ramn has a present for you.

- Yeah?

- Yes.

I'll sell it.

What is this?

What's this doing here? It's my bike.

What a shitty present.

Get on it.

I haven't been on this for 40 years.

How am I getting on it?

Shut up and get on it.

This is holding it, right?

I think I can't lift my leg that high.

Let's see. That's it.

What is this?

Is this the Giro?

No, hell, this is the Tour.

There's Paco Galdos.

Suso.

F***, Mancebo, they're all there!

Kas team, Fagor team.

Where did you get this from?

That's my stage.

It was raining like hell.

We were soaking.

We ended up exhausted.

Holy sh*t.

Look...

That's me arriving.

There's mom.

Look, that's granny Pilar.

Change legs.

You know what?

I've been...

I've been thinking,

"Why don't I buy that Facebook thing?"

- Facebook?

- Sure.

Buy Facebook?

Okay.

If you've got a billion euros to spare,

no problem.

I'll look it up,

make a couple of calls.

What the f***?

What do you want Facebook for?

Personal stuff.

Stuff.

I'll take a profile picture.

Look this way.

ody and all, Manolo.

Will you look this way?

Isn't it a profile?

Okay.

Ready, this one's perfect.

Let's see.

That one. Okay.

Give me blond hair and blue eyes.

What for?

When people apologize,

they always lie a bit.

If I can do an Ironman,

you can talk with a woman.

What would Nino Bravo do?

F*** off! Leave me alone.

No. The last time I left you alone

you kicked that poor woman out.

Come on, it's time to swim.

Off to the beach.

You've only got two months to go.

Come on!

Coming.

What would Nino Bravo do?

A**hole.

What would you do, Nino?

I've been dreaming of her for some time.

I only know she's called Noelia.

I've been living for her for some time.

I only know she's called Noelia.

Little merman, look!

We've got a sponsor!

Christmas Sweets Noelia!

I can't get up!

Ramn!

I can't move!

Help!

Help!

How are you?

How are your hands?

Can you move your fingers?

And your foot?

My right half is paralyzed.

You'll spend a few days

without drugs

before starting the new treatment.

You'll be very vulnerable to relapses.

I'm sorry, Ramn.

Everything's okay, son.

Don't worry.

Everything's okay.
