Cuervo Flores, in his eyes.

He was wild, a hunting dog.

He knew you had to seduce a woman...

by talking to her,

making her laugh.

Christ, he caused havoc round our way.

Christ, he caused havoc round our way.

Maybe Marito never attended to

his wife as he should.

Do you remember lndia,

Gaita's girlfriend?

Do you remember lndia,

Gaita's girlfriend?

He saw her

the day before the wedding...

and convinced her to party with him,

and she missed her own wedding.

He's got a thing about married women.

-l need someone like that.

-No, forget it.

He can't show his face round there now.

They've got it in for him.

Come on, Tenso!

Everything was horrible.

The house was horrible,

l don't knowwhy.

The neighbours were horrible, too.

And for some reason l wasn't

worth sh*t.

Basically there was something

l was never able to swallow...

ls that the right word, swallow?

Does it matter? ls it the right word?

Yes, it is, yes.

Swallow.

You could also say assimilate.

OK.

l prefer that.

Because that's the word.

Assimilate.

l've never been able to assimilate,

which to me was like a boot in the...

the fact she didn't like my friends.

That was really hard for me.

The fact she was always miserable

with my friends was...

-So l don't like your friends?

-Yes.

l have to like your friends,

to be with you?

-Don't you think?

-That's hard.

-Don't you think?

-That's hard.

ls it hard to... what is it?

What's the word...? Well, yes.

-That's enough.

-OK.

Did you ring?

Put your cigarette out.

Alright, l'll put it out.

-Tenso!

-l'm putting it out right now, see?

Someone's calling you from over there.

-Me?

-Yeah.

-Oh, God.

-What?

Well, we won't stay

too long. Just for a bit.

-Calm down, please.

-Good evening, welcome!

-Hello, hello.

-Come on in.

-Hi, happy birthday.

-Thanks.

-Come on...

-You can be so dumb.

That's it, come on in.

-How are you?

-Happy birthday.

Thanks, thanks.

-Happy birthday!

-Thanks.

-lsn't it great? A presentfrom Pao.

-Fantastic.

-What's wrong?

That's the thing nowadays, see?

Lower your voice, please.

What's wrong with that girl?

Has she fallen in love with that agent?

Can't she fall in love with an agent?

Yes, love, yes.

-OK, pretend to talk... she's coming.

-Shut it.

-Hi...

-Hello. How are you?

-Fine, you?

-Fine.

Hi, how are you?

Don't worry. No problem, Tana.

Yes, except when she's got wind,

that makes her...

because she's constipated.

She's taken after me.

The whole family, just ask my sister,

we're all constipated.

poor thing.

-Yes, but now it's all runny, isn't it?

-Really?

Her nappy had some runny poo.

So l'm constantly having

to change her.

And l don't have much milk.

And l have to squeeze my...

And l don't have much milk.

And l have to squeeze my...
