A Boyfriend for My Wife Page #7
-That's nobody.
You want to open a shop of a thousand
lamps. Stop doing that!
-Not the end of the world?
-They're bits of coloured paper.
-Not the end of the world?
-They're bits of coloured paper.
Which l'm borrowing from my brother,
that's all.
-No, not your brother.
-OK.
Listen you say one thousand pesos and
six months in advance.
-Athousand pesos...
-Athousand and six months in advance.
Alright.
Great...
Forgive my interrupting butjust
listen to her. Listen.
l was in a similar situation
some years ago.
l listened to my wife and here l am.
What shall we do?
What shall we do?
What shall we do, Tenso?
OK, do it, call them.
Great, congratulations.
-Tell me where he is!
-Let me go, l'll tell you.
-Uh?
-l'm Flores.
Come with me.
Who grassed? Who was it?
No, Cuervo, nobody grassed.
Amilcar told me you were here.
-l hope it's notwhat l think.
-No, take it easy.
l'm pleased with your work.
OK, we're here. Just go away and
forget you've been here.
-ls that clear?
-No, what l've come to say...
is ''it's over''.
No, l want you...
to call it a day with the job.
l don't want to lose Tana, Cuervo.
l really...
am very grateful...
for all you've done,
because thanks to you,
my life has changed 180 degrees.
She's started work,
she's happy, more content,
more of a woman... and that's
made me see her differently.
She's... she's changed, Cuervo.
She's another woman.
And l'm in love with her
like the very first day.
What l mean is:
she's the woman of my life.
What's wrong?
What's up?
What's wrong?
Don't... don't...
Stand up, get this off...
What's wrong?
-l've fallen in love!
-Who with?
With Tana.
That hurts... a lot.
l didn't want to... l really didn't.
No, what you've told me is alright.
lt can happen.
One of the risks of yourjob.
You'll leave off, right?
You've got a gem there. A gem.
You don't even deserve ten percent,
do you hear?
But you're going to leave off,
aren't you?
l'll honour our agreement though.
l didn't like you when we met.
Now l know you better.
You're the biggest arsehole
l've ever met.
That's very nice of you,
get it off your chest.
You'll be alright, because
you're an upright person.
With courage, strength and dedication
you'll be alright...
What doesn't kill you can only make
you stronger.
Tana?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-What?
-Nothing, sorry.
-What?
-Nothing, sorry.
l'm very confused.
Don't ask me to explain,
because l can't.
-My head's spinning.
-Confused in what way?
l don't want to f*** things up.
l'd rather leave.
-Confused? Why?
-Confused, l don't know.
l feel l'm going to f*** it all up.
And l don't want to.
Why? What's up?
Why are you crying?
-l'm not crying.
-You are crying.
My head's all over the place
and l'm... l don't know.
No, stop that. Leave that there.
Let's calm down.
-Has something happened?
-No.
You're crying, Tana.
-What's the matter?
-Nothing.
l knowwhat's happening.
But it's all over now.
l'd be so happy if
l could thinkthat.
But... my love for you is not in doubt,
but... sorry, l'm very upset.
-l hate to have to do this.
-Tana.
Forgive me.
Come on.
l'm going to tell you something,
but you have to promise...
not to get angry and to listen to me.
-Yes?
-Yes.
Tana...
-Who?
-Cuervo Flores.
So we could make things up together.
to do with this?
How do you know l'm seeing
Cuervo Flores?
You're seeing him and...
l asked him to do something.
What did you ask him?
Things were not going well.
it would help things between us.
What for? What did you ask him?
l couldn't... it was impossible
for me to talk to you.
l... l didn't knowwhere to start,
l was...
What did you ask him? Tell me.
Things were bad between us and
we needed a change, didn't we?
Well, yes, l guess so. Yes.
We needed a change.
So l made a big mistake...
and asked him to take you out
a couple of times...
so l could make a decision l hadn't
been able to, and which...
You asked Cuervo Flores to seduce me?
ls that it?
-No.
-ls that what you did?
Answer me, because if you did
you're a f***ing bastard.
-l didn't.
-You're lying!
-No, l'm not lying. l...
-Did you, yes or no?
-No!
-You bastard!
-No, no!
-You f***ing bastard! You asked him to.
-No, no! The only thing l asked him...
-You're a bastard and a wanker.
No, l couldn't decide what to do
and l thought...
that if he took you out a fewtimes
it would make you reflect...
and together we'd be able
to sort things out between us.
-That's it.
-You bloody idiot.
-And actually l didn't do too badly...
-You didn't do too badly?
Just think...
-24 hours a day...
-You bloody idiot.
cursing me all day long from the time
you got up till you went to bed.
And thanks to me, you actually started
to work, yes or no?
-You bloody idiot.
-Yes or no?
No, no, no! Thanks to the fact...
that l began to enjoy
working at the radio...
a guy who's always chatting me up,
a guy who's always chatting me up,
but whenever he wants to kiss me
l turn away,
because like an idiot l think
-What guy?
-Damian, does it matter?
Here, take this.
You're on your own. We've just split.
-Damian?
-Enjoy it.
Tana?
Tana, come back.
Tana, tell me about it.
Tana!
Morning, Tana. How are you?
To tell you the truth,
l feel pretty shitty,
with a strong urge to kill someone.
Who would you like to kill today?
All the cowards, or chickenshits
who have no character,
bastards.
So l'd like to dedicate
today's column...
to all those people who are able
to spend years...
living with someone they don't love
but don't have the courage to admit it.
Those who can't be sincere
with another person,
can cook up pathetic, childish plans.
So if that description fits you,
please keep away from Tana Ferro.
l met a guy who was so uptight and
such a wanker...
listen to what he did...
it's unbelievable,
but it's a true story.
He hired a guy to seduce his wife...
and get her to leave him,
lt's amazing but men like that exist.
Well, that's all for today.
So there we had Tana Ferro and
her special ''Mornings are not for me''.
Thanks, Tana.
And thanks to the hotel Tentaciones,
a hotel where couples can really get
to know each other.
We'll be back.
Tana...
So you were already separated?
-No.
-Yes.
-And you're with...?
-l'm not with anybody.
-l'm alone. That's all in the past.
-No, it isn't.
And since we're both here...
we should both tell the truth.
-Right?
-Of course.
-We should be frank, right?
-Of course.
So l need you to tell me...
if you slept
with that guy Kepelsky or not.
-Yes, l slept with him.
-Tell the truth.
l slept with him.
lt was after we split, of course.
