- Thank you very much.

The dog has to be congratulated,

but he wasn't allowed in.

Would you like a drink?

Waiter, a glass!

Your work must be

very interesting.

Traveling from one

exhibition to the other.

In fact, he is the one

who does most of the traveling.

Actually, we have to

show a dog in the States.

Wonderful.

But it's a very important

business up there.

They have

80 million dogs.

They are the top minority.

It must be very exciting!

No, please serve

me here.

Please, a moment

of silence.

Let's toast.

Your attention, please.

Let's make a toast...

to the owner of the

best dog...

who won the

Baha Blanca Dog Show today!

Mr. Coco Villegas!

And to Lechien, the champ dog

that it wasn't allowed in here!

You sing so nice.

I thought you were Arab.

No, as a girl I worked

at a Lebanese's shop.

So I got used

to hearing the music.

It must be very difficult.

Not for someone

who likes to sing.

No, I meant to

understand the meaning.

I sing by phonetics.

I don't know the meaning.

But I always do some research

so as not to offend anyone.

This is a family restaurant.

Leave her alone!

The show is for all of us!

Give her some money, stinge!

Who was the bastard?

Who was it?

So you like

throwing bread?

Calm down, fat boy!

Stop it!

Get out, you idiots!

Don't worry. They'll keep

him for a few hours...

to teach him a lesson.

Tomorrow they'll him out.

In these parties,

there's always a boozer.

Is this the one who

won the prize?

He's very beautiful.

I had a tiny little dog...

when I lived in Buenos Aires.

A Pomeranian.

Did you live

in Buenos Aires?

Yes, for two years.

I sang at the Club Horizonte.

A Syrian-Lebanese club,

but really posh.

Very rich people

went there.

We are just 5 blocks

from home.

When you plan to throw

a party, call me.

I'll organize it for you.

"Zaida" is my stage name.

I'll get you the musicians...

everything, even an

odalisque if you like.

We can have a coffee.

No, I don't want to bother you.

Look at the time.

It's no trouble. You bothered

to take me home.

Have a coffee and

then you can leave.

Come in.

- Excuse me.

- Make yourself at home.

I am gonna prepare the

hot coffee I promised.

Thank you.

Do you like

Turkish coffee?

Today I only had Turkish food.

This house was built

by my dad...

a few months before

he married mom.

It looks pretty nice.

Don't be so sure.

I have to repair

the roof up there. It leaks.

But, anyway...

I'm gonna prepare Turkish

coffee in this jar. Look.

Bronze on the outside,

tin on the inside.

- Be careful, it's hot.

- Thanks.

Did you notice something

on your tongue?

It's the grinds.

When you finish drinking it,

it will stay in the cup.

Do you want me to

read it to you?

Read it to me?

The grinds can be read.

They tell you the

future, for real.

OK.

I'll explain.

You place the cup

here, cover it...

and now turn

over the saucer.

- I turn it over?

- And keep it that way.

Leave it on the table.

There you are.

Lift it up slowly.

That's it.

Give it to me.

You've lied to me.

You are the one

who travels a lot.

And you will keep traveling.

Yes?

You sure?

I can see a long trip,

to buy some land.

Is that possible?

- Or a piece of land

- Maybe a lot.

A small piece of land,

that could be possible.

There are very nice

places around here.

I can accompany you,

whenever you like.

He's got no

criminal record.

But nothing can be done,

until the officer comes...

tomorrow morning.

Last night he got drunk,

but he is a nice person.

Then, tell him

to control himself.

Would you like to see him?

If that is possible.

Come with me.

Here he is!

Ask him!

Who was the one who

started throwing bread?

Are you crazy?

What does it matter?

I was having fun, dancing,

not bothering anyone.

And suddenly, they throw

a piece of bread at my neck.

Not a small piece,

but a whole bread roll.

Five minutes.

Listen, take the dog

to this man, Pascual...

for the stud service.

Do you have his number?

No.

Here.

Have the guy sign the service

certificate beforehand.

The dog mustn't mount her...

if the guy does not sign.

I know this business well.

It's full of swindlers.

- Yes?

- Mr. Pascual?

You came a bit early.

Well, come in.

This way.

I've taken Pamela's temperature,

she's almost ready.

Do you have the papers,

vaccines, tests?

Yes, here they are.

Have a seat.

"Bombn de Le Chien"

is that the dog's name?

No, Lechien.

"Bombn de Lechien"

Lechien is the kennel.

Who came up with

Bombn for a Dogo?

I will take Pamela's

temperature again.

That big guy told me

you had many dogs.

He told me you were

expanding the kennel.

Well, yes.

I'll be right back.

Pamela, come here!

This is a thermometer.

Come near, Pamela!

Get out of the doghouse!

Can't you see it's a thermometer?

Come, it's time they met.

Come on, Lechien.

I hope the bride likes him.

This female dog is

inexperienced, and yours?

I think so, yes.

What?

That fat guy told me he had

done stud services already.

Maybe, yes.

That fat guy is a swindler.

No, he knows a lot.

Come in.

Take him in.

I've told you.

Now we are in trouble.

Let's leave them alone, see if

they get to know each other.

Nature is wise, come.

This dog is a coward!

He does not even get out!

She's in heat today...

I'll have to wait

another six months!

Who pays me for the food?

Who pays me the lost profits?

Who? You?

Why did I mess

with you, sh*t!

Now I know why you

named him "Bombn".

I had already arranged

with a three year old male,

a super stud!

Where the f*** can

I get a dog now?

I curse the day...

I talked to that fat guy!

Where the f*** is he?

How did it go?

Not so well.

The dog got scared.

What happened?

The dog couldn't do it.

How come he couldn't?

He got inside the doghouse

and refused to do anything.

But he needs help.

The dog doesn't know how.

Besides, the man got upset.

What an idiot!

The dog doesn't know,

he needs some help.

They are like teenagers.

And what do we do now?

We look for an experienced

female dog to teach him.

Remember your the first time?

Anybody taught you?

And if he can't do it...

What will we do?

No way he can't do it!

This business is about

dog reproduction.

To offer stud services and

produce puppies. It's a factory.

Here it is. In Entrevero.

Pull up when

you see a phone.

This guy, had fantastic

female dogs last year.

Wait a sec. I make

the call and I'm back.

- How're you?

- Good afternoon!

- How are things going?

- Good. And you?

Same as always.

The YPF station of yours...

Did it shut down?

Yes, a long time ago.

And I was sacked.

Are you working

for another station?

- No, I took up a new trade.

- You took up a new trade?

Now I raise dogs.

I am an exhibitor.

A dog exhibitor!

Who would imagine!

There's one here in the back.

What an animal.

He's very well raised!

Stay put, Lechien!

He's got some character.

I need a dog like this.

We are getting robbed
