-That's what I say.

-I've been working for you for ages, and nothing's gone missing.

-It has to be you!

-I couldn't do such a thing.

Come here, son.

You won't lie to your mom, right?

No, Mom.

Look closely, my boy. You remember the gold watch dad left you,...

and you know it's yours, you can use it or play with it when you feel like it, right?

-Well, my love, Mom just wants to know if you took it.

-No, Mom.

Understand that I won't scold you.

I repeat that the gold watch left by your father is yours and you can do whatever you want with it.

I know, Mom, but I didn't take it.

-Think about it, maybe you forgot.

-And why would I forget?

Enough is enough, --- if the child says no, it's the truth!

Go on, son, go play.

Daniel, my boy, I love you, and you love me too. Right?

I've always care for you, but your mom says that I stole your watch.

She's firing me, and she'll call the police.

Leave off pressuring the child!

Go on, gather your stuff and get out of here. Get the hell out, I tell you.

After all this time eating the bread of this house, ungrateful cow!

You see, architect, this part is pretty bad.

Now, in the back is where I'd like to do another boudoir,...

-What are you doing here?

-Nothing.

Come here.

Did you install this?

-Well it's fine. What's your problem?

-Nothing.

Oh, I know, your mom doesn't know that you hang out over here.

Don't worry, I'll keep your secret.

Are you going to take it down?

Yes, I have no choice, that's part of the scheme, but it's the last thing we'll do.

I'll leave it for you while I can. Up you go!

Ciao.

Child, come out from there, lest the devil take you.

-You might get a cold.

-He wants to see free movies.

Get out of there because you'll turn into a fool.

Little bird.

Birdie, nice birdie.

Come, come, come, come, come, come.

Little bird.

Come, come, come, come, come. Wait!

-Have I done wrong, Mom?

-No, son. Why?

So why didn't you buy the TV?

Oh, God, am I for that nonsense!?

Come here.

First you have a home, son, that's the best gift.

Just now mom can't spend a lot on other things.

But when we fix up the other part of the house and rent it out,...

you'll have your TV, and everything else you want.

Now go read your comics, while mom has to do some math.

Come here.

You thought I was going to take it off, right?

Well, when it comes time to remove it the builder will put it somewhere else you may want. OK?

Come on, son, let us work. Go play around.

That boy is going to be a screaming queen, wait and see!

Daniel, what are you doing up there, boy? Go back, get down!

Idiot child! You could have died!

Stupid! I've told you 1,000 times, I've told you many times not get on the roof.

You could have been killed! Brat, you're so disobedient!

You're spoiled rotten! But I'll show you, I'll teach you to obey your mother.

You do what I tell you. Do you hear?

Don't hit me again, Mom, don't hit me anymore!

Mom, Mom! Here, mommy, take it!

Mom, do you feel better now, Mom? Mommy!

Here's your pudding, Daniel.

At least eat your flan, son, you haven't tried anything.

Really, Mom, I'm not hungry. My head really hurts.

May I be excused?

Sure, son.

Have just a little milk, son. Do it for mom.

Really, I don't want any.

You mustn't resent your mother.

You know that I have rarely struck you, my son, but I was so scared!

I thought you were going to fall. I saw you dead and lost my head.

Forgive me, my life.

Forgive your mother, who loves you, who has sacrificed everything for you.

I beg you.

Forgive me!

Please forgive me!

-Yes, Mom, I forgive you.

-How good you are!

Thank you! Thanks, son, thanks!

I know he'll like it because he's a very special boy and very smart.

Nothing is more suitable for having fun teaching, the trouble is the price.

Is that they are imported from the United States. It's the last one left, have sold like hotcakes.

-Wrap it up. I'll take it.

-Very well.

Since it's hardened by the formalin, you have to press hard,...

but then you do a vertical cut...

so we can separate the skin and see tissues and viscera.

You'll do the cut smoothly from here to here,...

as I have marked.

Firmly. Squeeze...No, not so much.

That's it. That's good.

And now let's separate...Put off the scalpel.

Let's separate the skin...

Come on, baby, now you're going to make a cut in the same way, but deeper. Take the scalpel.

But not so firmly.

Relax, the budget is fair.

It's just that the back should be fully rebuilt, almost.

-Then we'll try to...

-Well, we'll see.

Tomorrow I'll give you your check.

Give it to the builder, because I think I'm done here.

You mean you're not coming back?

I've done my part, and the company's sending me somewhere else.

Ah, no, but you're not going to leave me with the work unfinished! What am I going to do?

Well, here's the contractor. He's responsible for...

Yes, yes, I know, but I made a deal with you, and the house is for me something...

But the budget accounted just for the blueprints. But ma'am, please, I don't know how to lay a brick!

Master, if you don't mind, could I have a moment alone with the architect?

Of course, Ma'am.

-Good night.

-Good night.

-See you tomorrow, architect.

-Never mind, I'll go with you.

Architect, take great care so that everything is to the taste of the lady,...

so that everything's done responsibly.

Now if you have any questions, you can call me at home or better yet at the company, they'll tell you where I am.

Well, I hope the new job waiting for you goes well.

Thank you, Master, thank you for your good intentions.

You don't know what that house means to me, Architect.

So much so that...Anyway, you wouldn't understand.

Maybe. You don't drink coffee?

No, I can't.

Not even a glass?

-I should not.

-Madam, please, don't leave me alone here.

Well, I'll wet my lips.

Don't go, architect. I have so much trust in you!

The house is...I don't know, the security of my son, his future.

Please!

Look, Regina,...May I call you Regina?

Yes, of course.

-The truth is that I thought...

-A little more coffee?

No, no thanks.

Actually, I wanted to help, but it's not up to me.

-Try to understand.

-I understand, but...

Now, if I could find some way to help...

Don't be sad. I could come in my spare time...

Of course, in reality I'd be coming to see you.

Please!

An illusion can mean a lot, Regina.

You've always impressed me as a woman and as a beauty,...

because you have a something that makes someone want you.

-I'd love to keep meeting you.

-Yes, at night.

And also by day,...

I told you I'd come to work in my spare time on the house.

Mom. Mom.

Isn't Don Aurelio coming today?

No. I told you, he went to work elsewhere.

Are you blind? Hail's falling. Move it, quick.

And he won't come back here?

I don't know, depends on...

Now, hurry!

But don't worry, your swing is still there.

Come on, come on, lazybones! Faster!

Don't spill the clay!

In the little chest of my child, in his nose.
