Bombón: El Perro

- Nice knife.

- Isn't it? Beautiful.

- Excellent work.

- Handmade.

These are our specialty.

Carved by hand. I make

and sell them myself.

And this handle?

Is this marble?

No, that's not marble.

It's the bone foot

of an ostrich.

And this is Walnut.

It's only found in San Luis.

A special kind of tree.

- Only in San Luis?

- Yes, in the province.

My relatives who work

there sent it to me.

- A hard wood.

- Very. It's extraordinary.

A very nice souvenir,

that's why I am offering it.

This is a very rare wood.

It's from a shipwreck

back in 1800.

- Really?

- I picked it up from the coast.

This handle is historic.

How much is it?

Because of the work

it demands, $100.

- $100?!

- You've got to work your ass off...

to earn that money here.

If I had $100, I wouldn't

be working here.

Too much money!

I'll give it to you for 80.

No?

OK, let's go on.

Who likes this one?

I like them all.

Make an offer.

I am doing this for a living.

This one is for Contreras.

Not good enough for him.

Here you are!

Make an offer.

Let's go to work.

- What do you say?

- We have to work.

Come on!

See you!

Bye!

Nothing sold any today,

Coco, this isn't our day.

Listen!

The knives are great!

I mean it!

Good morning, pal.

Good morning.

Didn't you see

the entry sign?

What sign?

I didn't see anything.

This is a private property.

I am sorry.

I just came to sell

some knives.

Who gave you the authorization?

Nobody.

You'll have to accompany me.

Your ID, please.

Wait a sec.

Believe me, I don't

have them with me.

I forgot

to take them.

I apologize, I must

have left them at home.

How much is that one?

- This one?

- Yes.

Keep it.

Listen, signs

are to be read.

I'll remember that

the next time.

Go on, sir!

Villegas!

How are you?

How are you doing, Sabino?

What a cleaning!

And they had to

go and fire me!

They plan

to open in the Spring.

I have your stuff in my cabin.

Thanks.

And the knives?

I think the price

is too high.

- High?

- I'll try to bring it down.

Cheap knives from

Brazil are flooding the market.

Mine are handmade.

People only see if they cut.

And how is Rosa?

She got a job from an

agency in Caleta Olivia.

She'll be a maid

at a hotel.

For a woman, it's easier.

Besides, she's younger.

I keep avoiding it,

but any day, I'll be fired.

Your tools and a box

with some of your stuff.

Take a seat.

Let's drink some mate.

I'll give you your mattress.

It's under my own.

Keep it if you need it.

No, I left it there, 'cause

there was no other place.

And where is Morci now?

Morci went to Rosario,

he got a brother there.

Wasn't his

brother in jail?

He must still be there.

He was given 30 years.

But Morci was in love

with his sister-in-law.

Is all your stuff there?

Nothing missing?

Yes, but it doesn't matter.

The agency where Rosa

got the job... where is it?

- Name?

- Juan Villegas.

- Villega?

- Villegas.

But everybody

calls me Coco.

- Profession?

- Mechanic.

Simple Mechanics.

Are you a mechanic or not?

Yes, write down mechanic.

I've worked in

a gas station.

And? What happened?

It was sold recently.

I did everything there:

Greasing...

Hello?

Listen to me.

It's not my problem if

they don't pay you as agreed.

Workpower is not responsible

for problems with the employer.

Read the contract you signed.

I don't care what you think.

I delete you from the system.

It's that simple.

Do what you like.

- Age?

- Fifty two.

Is that a problem?

No.

In this country, everything

can be a problem.

Marital Status?

Married.

But put "single".

It's been twenty years...

since I last saw my wife.

- Well, let's put "single".

- Single.

Address?

I am living with my

daughter in Fitz Roy.

Things are not going

too well, but...

Now, you are

in the system.

And what's next?

Can we reach your daughter?

Yes, but since I am

in the area every day...

Here's my card and

my number. You call me.

Mr. Barreiro...

In my spare time,

I make knife handles...

If you are interested...

I can show you one.

No, not now.

I have them here.

OK.

Where did you put the bottle?

Look at the milk, it's spoiled.

Calm down, baby.

You can't even wash up.

Yes, sweetie.

I have to do it all.

Get up, lazybones!

Look at the example

you set.

Do you need

the bathroom?

Go, but don't spend

a year in there.

Take her, at least for a while.

Come on, quick!

You'll be late for school.

Tucumano, go!

Take care of the kid.

Come on!

Should I check the oil?

No, no need to.

It's $28.50.

Have you been

working here long?

No, not too long.

And you like it?

More or less.

I worked nearly 20

years in a gas station.

Wow.

Here's your change.

Thanks a lot.

I almost forgot.

There's a promotion.

You have to scratch

the card with a coin.

- The one you gave me?

- Yes.

- Here?

- Right there.

It says something.

Let me see.

You've won

1 liter of engine oil!

Come with me.

See?

And on top of it,

a pair of glasses...

same as in

the film "Men in Black".

Have you seen it?

I don't think so.

Come in.

Hold this.

Mario, this man has

just won the combo.

- Good morning.

- Congratulations, sir!

Bring up a combo from

the shed, in the new boxes.

Take it, please

I'll write down your name

and we'll give you the prize.

- Today's my lucky day.

- It must be.

Do you need a mechanic,

or a pump attendant here?

No, we're not hiring.

Have you tried at

Gitano's station?

The mechanic

near the dell.

He is always looking

for someone.

In the long run, what

matters is having a job.

- The oil and the glasses.

- Here you are.

They look expensive.

Try them on.

You look like a "Man in Black".

I can't see anything.

They suit you well.

- You going to wear them out?

- No.

"EL GITANO" MECHANICS

- What do you want?

- Is the boss in?

He's having lunch.

- Can I wait for him?

- What's it about?

It's personal.

You can wait outside.

Thanks.

Listen, if you are selling...

Nobody buys anything here.

No, I am not

selling anything.

Sh*t!

Who the f*** parked

in front of the garage?

I am sorry.

I'll move it.

Didn't you see the sign?

NO PARKING:

Come in.

Quick.

Don't turn the TV up too loud.

The baby's sleeping.

Mauro, you've got

to show me that note.

I got the news.

What are you doing?

Repairing the pipe.

I'll give you a rag

to secure it.

We better change the pipe.

How much will that be?

How much can

charge you...?

It's not expensive,

I'll go buy it.

Listen, dad...

Today, they called me

back at the new gas station...

"Come, scratch this card".

I scratched it off

and I won a prize.

I won a can of oil

with a pair of glasses.

I wanted to ask them for

the money, but I couldn't.

I plan to buy the machine

with the severance pay.

Spend all your money on that...

and you'll end up broke.

If I don't make the knife

blade myself, it's not worth it.

Why don't you look for a job

doing what you're good at.

So many gas stations

are being opened.

I'll go to the Basque's
