Bombón: El Perro Page #3

It's a problem. What if

the animal bites someone?

He would not bite a soul.

He's a hunting dog.

He is friendly.

Tie him up, but

I didn't see a thing.

Come on, Lechien.

We have got to get paid.

- Good morning, Roque.

- Good morning, Mr. Accountant.

You left the lights on.

Thanks.

Again with these

new rules...

Excuse me,

is that your dog?

Yes.

- Nice animal.

- Yes, nice.

- What's his name?

- Lechien.

Lechien?

May I?

Sure, yes, pet him.

He might be a good hunter.

Did you try him with pigs?

Not yet.

A very good hunter.

Because of his bite,

you know?

He's got a perfect bite.

Yes, I think so.

And he may do very

well in races. May I?

Strong legs.

- A very good specimen.

- Good, isn't it?

Yeah, very good.

You could try him

at the races.

- Have you got his papers?

- Yes.

Why don't you train him?

I can recommend

someone to train him.

- Are you coming to the bank?

- Yes.

Come with me, I'll

give you his address.

- Accountant, the lights.

- I forgot again.

- Do me a favor, turn them off.

- All right.

Come in.

You were coming to the bank, right?

- And what for?

- I have to cash a check.

Give it to me, I will

get it cashed for you.

Thank you very much.

- Good morning, Marta.

- Good morning, sir.

- Cash this for me, please.

- Sure.

Come in.

Make yourself at home.

Very well, let's see...

The man I've mentioned

is Walter Donado.

He is an ace preparing

dogs for exhibitions.

I don't know

a thing about dogs.

Don't worry, this man

is a genius.

He lives in Trelew.

I am looking for his address.

He's easy to find. He's

in charge of the motordrome.

Here he is.

I'll write down his address

on one of my cards.

Here's his address

and phone number.

Tell him you know Zacarias

at the Bank of Santa Cruz.

He owes me many favors.

Thank you.

While we wait for the money,

let me show you something.

See what kind of

animal you have.

My favorite for many years.

A great dog.

He fell down a hill with a

wild boar, 300 meters down.

Already dead, we had to break

his jaw to make him let it loose.

Take a look at that one.

Gutted by a wild boar.

Everything was put back

in again, he was sewed up,

and the next day, he

was as good as new.

They don't feel pain.

Absolutely insensitive

to pain.

Let me break it to you,

they are beasts

from outer space.

- Excuse me.

- Come in.

Here is the money

from the check. Is it for him?

Yes.

I need your signature here.

- Of course.

- Here's a pen.

Here.

- Here you are.

- Thanks a lot.

- Please, don't mention it.

- It won't be necessary.

Every month we hunt

at a friend's estate.

This month is at Dr. Recabarren's

in Laguna Grande.

If you have some time to spare,

call me and come with us.

And bring the beast,

so he starts learning.

I don't know anything about dogs.

I know very little.

Don't worry, you will

acquire the taste for it.

Yes, I am a friend

of Zacarias...

at the Bank of Santa Cruz.

No, I'm not

calling about that.

I don't work

for the bank.

The thing is

I have a dog...

and Mr. Zacarias

gave me your name.

I just wanted to know if we

could train the dog together.

He's the son of

"Quilo of the Andes"

"Quillapn de los Andes",

yes, sorry.

Trelew's motordrome.

Yes, I was told.

Yes, I can go there today.

Wait in the car.

Good morning!

Good morning.

I am looking for Walter Donado.

He's not here.

He went to Trelew

to get some bolts.

But I was told

he lives here.

Yes, next to that office.

I'll show you there.

Good afternoon.

Excuse me, I am

looking for Walter.

He just happens to be out.

He went to buy some bolts.

- I was already told.

- He'll be back soon.

- Then, I'll wait outside.

- Would you mind coming in?

- Isn't it too much trouble?

- Not at all.

Thank you.

Please, come in.

Mabel, say hello

to the man.

Take a seat.

Would you like

a mate tea?

Thank you, ma'am.

Hi, sweetie.

Are you studying?

Poor girl, she's lost her

voice because of the nerves.

The nerves?

She's got to recite next

Thursday at the Town Council.

That's why.

When she was little,

she recited marvellously.

And now, she's nervous

and her voice has gone.

Come on, Mabel,

recite to the man.

"Dark swallows will come back...

and nest on your balcony...

and once more, their wings

against your window pane...

She is getting nervous,

but she knows it by heart.

Come on, Mabelita, slower.

Come on.

Dark swallows will come back...

We can't understand if

your voice is so hoarse.

Dark swallows will...

I can't do it right!

See? That's how she gets!

She's nervous.

But I am fed up with her.

What a disgrace.

Don't say a word! I've already

seen him in the truck!

- This man...

...has a hell of a dog!

- A pleasure.

- Walter Donado.

You have pure gold!

Do you like him?

Have a seat and we'll

take a look at his papers.

All right.

That's it.

Here are the vaccines.

Very important.

Of course, his mother is

"Crystal Goddess of the Apostles".

But, didn't this dog

belong to a French man?

Yes, his widow

gave it to me.

Why are

we still sitting here?

Let's go see him.

Can I tell you something?

This dog, well trained,

will make us rich.

You sure?

Have you thought

about selling it?

No, not yet.

What a head you have!

Can you do me favor?

Take me to Gelsi's house,

the President of the Association.

- Sure, let's go.

- I want him to see the dog.

Shall we go?

He'll drop dead!

Let me tell you, Villegas.

Presenting a dog at a show

is no small matter.

It is an art. You have to

know how to present a dog.

It's like the career of

a football player.

You present him wrong,

and you ruin his future.

First you have to present the

dog at small provincial shows...

and then at the

international level.

I know of dogs who

where wrongly presented...

and their careers

were ruined.

And they were good dogs!

That's why it's important

to build a name for the dog.

Let the people get to know him,

ask about him.

And people will start to

request the stud services.

The Baha Blanca Show

comes in a week.

Three general competitions

and an Aptitude Test.

Do you want to present him there?

One week?

One week will do miracles.

We need to walk him a bit,

teach him to raise

up his head.

Make him stand still...

I've never been

to a dog show.

You have to see it.

Remind me to show

you a magazine.

In 1994, we went

to the USA, to Tampa.

A total success!

I'm in one of the pictures.

When we get back home,

I'll show it to you.

The thing is, I am

a bit short of cash.

Let's make a deal.

I train the dog,

I give you shelter and food...

and we split

the profits fifty-fifty.

- Do we have a deal?

- Deal!

Partners!

Don't tell me that he

doesn't look like his father!

He looks quite good.

Looks quite good??

This must be one

of the puppies...

he had with

Rocatagliata's female dog.

Exactly, sir!

A French man...

Let's get him down so

they can get a look at him.

Lechien, down!

Come on, Lechien.
