Alien Intruder Page #2

had to go out early...

and didn't want to wake you.

- Did you sleep well?

- Yes

Did Juliana fix breakfast?

- Yes.

- I'll be back mid-afternoon.

- keep Wednesdays open.

- Is that all?

Angel, I'm really happy.

If you've appeared so suddenly,

there's a reason for it.

Know it's strange to say this

on the phone, but just now...

...felt it so strongly.

It was such an intense feeling.

Someone sent you.

Time is moving backwards.

It has stopped

and came back with you.

I'm an idiot! An idiot!

We'll never separate,

not in this world nor the other.

My dad says the other

world is a fake.

A green field full of flowers.

don't want to go there.

How about you, you named Angel?

Think it's a sh*t hole.

But if you go, I'll go too.

Last one's a monkey face!

- Let me be last this time.

- Why?

- She always likes to be last.

- Come on!

Your feet will get wet.

My friend Adela asked me

if you were poor and said...

...that you were.

Are you?

Yes.

Don't care if you're poor...

...or you have to die,

but you can't die...

...until you tell me

all those stories.

What stories?

Mom says that you know

lots of stories.

Not as many as she does,

but mine are of this world.

Let's go home.

The wise fools say...

...the Chinese will come

some day...

...and they'll eat all our cakes

and drink our Coca-Cola.

Can you imagine that?

Will we have a China man

in our house?

Perhaps.

As a servant.

But let's get back

to our story.

Up on the Great Wall

Angel thought...

...Why don't slip away

from these tourists?

When they miss me...

It's Mom!

When they miss me,

I'll be far away...

...cycling along

between rice fields.

- Where were you?

- went out for a walk.

Dressed like that?

He wanted to run away

but rescued him.

- Is that true?

- To be honest...

...was rescued by a dream.

What else happened to you

on the Great Wall?

When he was up on the Wall...

...Angel decided not to leave

the tourists.

He went to Peling,

and then to Hong Kong...

...where new adventures

awaited him.

Went shopping.

hope the size is right.

And the new adventure

is called...

...'Angel in the cave

of the wicked Chinese dragon'.

Forward without fear!

Is it worth rescuing

the princess...

...after she's slept

with the dragon?

Hear they had a wonderful time!

What are you doing?

There's foam in his mouth, Mom.

Juliana!

Help me! Children!

Grab his arms.

Rami, take his leg.

You take his arm.

Careful with his head.

You can eat breakfast now.

If you want, after breakfast,

I'll leave, disappear.

Can't stay on here

as your guest...

...living close to your wife

and your children.

You remember Pete Anton?

He's a top analyst now.

We'll find out how you are.

Couldn't be better.

Taken in at the right time

by a family of good samaritans.

A real parasite.

Want to leave a blood sample

at Pete Anton's before go to work.

You'll walk the streets

of our childhood...

...carrying your best friend's blood.

You might get good news.

Maybe I've got two weeks to live.

That pot's too small

for a geranium.

Heard you'd done well.

At first was envious,

then wasn't.

When my teeth went bad,

thought of you.

They reckon you're the best.

I'd have seen you

with pleasure.

Couldn't have paid you.

I'd spent everything

on drink, cards and women.

And wouldn't have

accepted a discount.

Angel, don't know

what you mean.

Always thought

you were a bit slow...

...but won't believe

you don't understand me now.

I'll sum it up for you.

You don't know howl hated you.

Can imagine.

No, you can't imagine.

Invented the most awful,

exquisite tortures for you.

In my mind, burned you...

...tore you apart,

and your pain wasn't enough.

Thought you deserved worse

for taking Luisa from me.

Luisa was with you by accident.

She married you while was away.

Didn't take Luisa from you.

Luisa left you

to correct a mistake.

That's the painful truth.

A very convincing explanation...

...but one detail is missing.

There's no detail missing.

That's all there is.

You thought I'd eventually be

grateful you freed me from her.

She's wonderful, but

a real drag, too!

Right? Wasn't that your reason,

your justification?

Don't get worked up.

Don't want to witness

another fainting spell.

What did you want?

My gratitude?

You can have it now!

Still love her!

Madly.

If you do that again...

...I'll beat your brains out.

Want him out of here!

Out of here!

Ramiro, please!

Don't care if Juliana hears!

want him out of here!

You must apologize.

Why'?

Because say so.

One, two, three, four...

Now with the ball

Look, kids.

This is how Dad plays.

No matter how hard

he hits it...

...it always ends up...

...in a shitty little hole.

Dad's bell.

He's dizzy again.

Angel, what's wrong with you?

Is your head sore?

- Is he dead?

- Course not.

You want me to die?

Don't do that again!

Don't like him.

Like him all right

as a surprise.

He's not like an adult.

He's something different

in the house.

We've got lots of photos

of the three of them together.

Mom didn't know

which one to marry.

They were great friends

and loved each other lots.

Adults always remember

when they were children.

Yeah, know.

My office, my own corner, which

I'm delighted for you to have.

It's more comfortable here.

- Remember that day perfectly.

- thought you'd like it.

Was sure.

Loathe it.

There were lots

of people that day.

But I've forgotten them.

Just have the image

of the three of us...

...the inseparables.

Don't say that

you don't like it.

Please.

The inseparables

separated pretty quick.

It seems that fate

wants to unite us again.

With a bit of goodwill...

suppose that Ramiro

does what used to do.

He puts up with you despite

your emotional outbursts...

...and your metaphysical relapses.

Am right?

Does he love you as do?

Despite that mundane sentimentalism

which on a day like today...

...make you put a photo

like that in here!

Let's not start...

Your clothes are

in the wardrobe.

Need anything else?

Love you.

And love you.

- We're talking of different things.

- Who knows?

I've slept here.

- On this bench?

- Yes.

With Dad and Mom?

No. Alone.

When was grown up.

Just recently.

- Why?

- Because he was poor.

- That's right.

- And is it exciting?

Sleeping in the open

or being poor?

- The two things.

- It's horrible!

Yes, it's exciting.

Nobody waiting for you

or bossing you around.

And you're dirty and smelly

and covered with hair.

That's right.

If you can't die, it's best

to be poor, miserable...

...and smelly, so people

run away and forget you.

Mom didn't forget you.

Dad did,

Dad thought you'd died.

Come on, Angel, you promised.

- Never promised anything.

- Well, promise it now.

What about your brother?

Does he still want me to die?

Come on, please. Take us.

Don't know.

It's a wonderful day.

That's true.

We can eat somewhere.

We'll treat you.

We've got 5,000 pesetas we've saved.

No, don't want to be
