Elsa & Fred
What?
This had to be settled
on Monday!
We signed that contract
Look, obviously you're
not a real estate agency...
...you only a gambling den!
We'll take it off
ourselves.
- What? Us?
- Well, you.
- You have a tool box?
- Yes.
Then go get it, I'll help you.
Come on!
- Get me my tools!
- Why are you yelling?
This woman is driving me crazy!
Good morning, Ma'am.
Got off on the wrong foot
with the new neighbor?
She's not my neighbor.
Her father's the one
that's moving in.
Yes, it seems he's a widower.
Poor man.
Though, if the deceased
was like the daughter...
- Here! Take your box.
- Good luck with the pliers.
Thank you, Ma'am.
You see?
It wasn't that hard!
- Well, we've...
- I haven't got all day!
In the bedroom.
Careful! It was my mother's!
- Mom!
- Where's your father?
- No, Mom...
- Give me the car keys.
Did you lock it?
Take this to the room.
- But, Mom...
- Come on! Come on!
Idiot!
Some nerve.
Why does he have a cell phone?
I can't believe it!
to my grave.
Alfredo, let's go.
Is it better here
or on the coffee table?
I don't know. Ask grandpa.
It's his house.
Hey! Hey!
The chairs!
Take them to the kitchen!
Don't just leave them there!
Finally! Where the hell
have you been?!
And why is
your cell phone off?!
Cuca, what have you done
to the car?
I leave it one hour with you
and you crash it.
Are you crazy?
I didn't crash the car!
You didn't?
Well, the two front lights
are shattered.
Are you deaf?!
I didn't crash the car!
It was an old lady
in a dark red car.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- You didn't let me!
You see?! You never
think what you say!
Cuca! I told you to leave it
in a parking lot!
Oh, sure!
Let Cuca do everything!
I'm always doing
everything anyway!
Oh, really?!
Who'll fix my car?!
My car is ruined!
What do you think
of the apartment?
It's fine. Fine.
I'm on my way.
You should've been
at the clinic 15min ago!
- I got held back.
- What were you doing?!
I'm not going to explain.
Just wait for me there.
That's why I'm calling,
Mom. I can't be there.
an emergency meeting.
- I'll stop by your house later.
- Is not necessary!
Yes! Yes it is, Mom!
I have to ask you
some questions.
Okay, I've got to go.
I'm driving. Bye.
A controller like his father.
The fridge and microwave
are plugged in.
I took a walk around the block
and there are many restaurants.
Even so, I left you
some chicken soup.
- It's in the microwave.
- Okay, all set.
Let's go, Cuca.
Come on!
Your dad needs to rest!
I'm coming!
Here! Take it!
Javier, leave that dog alone
and say goodbye to grandpa!
I talked to him.
He'll help you out
if you need anything.
Bye, Grandpa!
In any case, call us
if anything happens.
Let's go, Cuca!
He'll be fine!
Bye, Dad.
Call me whenever you like.
Hey, did you give Juan
your new phone number?
I'll call him tomorrow.
- I can call him if you want.
- No, I'll call him.
Call him. It'll be good
for you to go out with him.
- Sweetie!
- Cuca!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Come on, come on!
Let's go!
What questions
do you have to ask.
Come on, Mom.
We'll talk inside.
- Mom!
- I'm coming!
What's wrong with you?
It's her. The woman
who crashed the car.
Now, let's talk, Mom.
I got the bank statement
and there's a withdrawal.
What did you spend
that money on, Mom?
- My living expenses!
- Mom! It was 1,400 Euros!
What are you implying?
That you want the card back?!
No!
I'll give it back and
pay every cent I spent!
Mom! Please,
I'm not asking that!
I'm just asking how
you spent that money!
Oh, but...
Let's get down to business.
Are you staying for dinner?
It's a simple question!
I warn you...
...there isn't food
in the house.
- Mom!
- Don't worry! We can order in.
Mom! Stop avoiding
the question! Answer me!
- Answer what?!
- About the money!
again!
Alejo? Nonsense!
Just a second.
Someone's at the door.
Saved by the bell.
Ma'am, what you've done...
...is a complete lack
of respect and education!
I'm going
to inform the authorities!
Not only for damaging
my property...
...but also for threatening
the life of a minor!
It's the first time I've
ever seen this child.
Stop threatening my son!
Ma'am, calm down.
What happened, Mom?
I don't know.
She's crazy.
No, Ma'am,
I'm not crazy.
This afternoon...
Is she your mother?
- Yes.
- No!
Mom.
Yes. Go on.
Your mother crashed
into our car...
...and ran away!
My son saw everything!
- Don't you have a dark red car?
- No!
- Mom!
- It's crimson.
I warn you,
I'm not moving...
...until you account
for the damages!
- Calm down.
- I want the insurance info!
Mom, go get
your insurance number.
- No, I can't.
- What?!
I didn't pay the last bill.
Well... You are
completely irresponsible!
You can't drive
without insurance!
- What if she killed someone?!
- I didn't kill anyone!
- And that headlight...
- Both headlights, Ma'am!
- Okay, two headlights...
- Calm down, please!
Ma'am, I'll take care
of everything.
Ask for a budget and
call me when you have it.
I'll send you the money.
their license revoked.
There are some who should
not have gotten it at all.
That woman's insane.
What a scandal
over a little headlight.
- Mom?
- What?
Tomorrow,
when this lady calls...
...you fill out the check
with the amount...
...and give it to her.
- No.
You heard me, Mom.
- Yes, but I can't.
- Why?!
Because I can't. I don't know
where she lives!
Isn't she your neighbor?
No, she isn't.
He moved into
an apartment in the hall.
Then take it to the father.
Mom, pay attention, please.
Here's the check.
Don't lose it!
Okay.
You don't trust me?
- Your own mother?
- Are you serious, Mom?
Yes, seriously.
Go on!
I have no energy or will.
I'm too tired.
Come on, Alfredo.
Get out, man!
Itll do you good
to move your bones.
What can you do locked up
all day?
You're punishing yourself.
- Cuca called you, didn't she?
- No!
Yes. She did call you.
Don't lie to me.
Okay, she did,
but don't change the subject.
I'll pick you up
tomorrow at nine.
No, Juan. Really.
You have to go back
to your normal life.
My life will never be
normal anymore.
I'm trying to help you.
And I'm grateful...
...but if you want to go on
being my friend...
...don't push me.
I have my daughter for that.
As you wish.
Today could be a day
impossible to get back.
Don't let this wondrous day
get away.
Everything that's here
was placed for you.
Don't look at it through
the window
come and sit at the feast.
Fight for what you have...
Well, that man is as
ordinary as his daughter...
...or he's as blind as a bat.
Hey, boy!
Come here.
Come here.
Come here with me.
- Javi!
- I called Don Juan...
...and he says you didn't
