Grandpa, could you

keep it short, please.

Thanks.

Your water.

- Last but not least, right?

- Especially in this heat.

Its hard to close.

The zipper is tight.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Take care of yourself.

- You too.

Did your father

take his sweater?

I dont know,

I dont think so.

You know he

forgets everything.

Here it is.

Hes such a scatterbrain,

he never remembers anything.

Alejandra, how are you?

- Fine. How are you?

- Fine, thank you.

- I see its ready.

- Yes, Im almost done.

Come have a look

at my doughnuts.

Is that enough?

Yes, I think so. We have

six visitors coming today.

Three or four

North Americans.

And the others

are foreigners too.

The drinks will

be ready soon.

Good, but don't forget anything,

What about the "cazuela"?

I know which

chicken to kill.

Perfect then, Im off...

Actually, I need

to talk to you.

Quickly then,

Im in a hurry.

You might

get angry,

I always ask you

the same thing...

I wanted to ask you

for an advance.

Again?

Live told you,

I dont make enough.

Alejandra, put your

thinking cap on.

I've given you an advance

two months in a row.

You need to start

controlling your expenses.

I have taxes to

pay soon, you know.

And I dont get paid

right away either.

I have to go

to the agency,

to pick up

the checks.

- Hi.

- Hi, Eva.

- How are you?

- Fine and you?

Pretty good.

A little tired

from the heat.

Everythings tiny.

Tiny mirror, tiny shoes.

- Stop complaining.

- Everythings "Mama Smurf" sized!

Here, taste this. I need

to ask you for a favor.

- Could you lend me some money?

- Money?

- 20,000 pesos.

- And Mama Smurf?

I asked, but

she said no.

She always

says yes.

Not this time.

Im broke, too. I paid

some bills yesterday,

and gave the

rest to my mom.

The "gringos"

might tip you.

Service is included!

Youre broke,

I understand.

You know I'd lend

it to you if I had it.

Ok then, hurry up.

And the reconnection charge?

If I pay today, will it

be restored today?

I want to be sure

its restored today.

Ok, Ill get there as

soon as possible.

Thanks.

Well continue our

visit this way, please.

What a pretty dress!

- Youre going to stain it.

- No, I wont.

Look whos wearing

her new dress!

You forgot the tag.

- Did you wash the herbs?

- Yes.

You look great

in that dress.

- Thanks.

- Are you going to Chillan?

Yes. I'd like to leave once

Im done cleaning up.

No problem.

And before

you leave,

dont forget to put the

"cazuela" pot on the table.

Ill put it back in

the fridge later.

Ok, Ill take

care of it.

This house is the

biggest in the farm.

We call it

"The Pearl of the Farm".

Houses like this one

were built in Chile,

during Colonial times.

They were built

The distance you

could travel in a day

by cart or on horseback.

In those days, of course,

there were no roads.

Mr. Francisco, drop me off here, please.

Im going to the mall.

Ok.

- Take care.

- Thanks.

- Say hello to your parents.

- I will, thanks.

- Do you have the receipt, please?

- Here.

May I?

One moment, Ill check

with my supervisor.

Ill be right back.

Madam, are you

being helped?

Yes, I asked

for a refund.

That may

take a while.

May I help the

next customer?

Hello, Ive come to

pay my electricity.

May I see the

bill, please?

It comes to

Will the power

come back on today?

Within 24 hours.

Do you think its

possible today?

It doesnt depend on us,

it depends on the company.

Manuel, hurry up!

Mom, can I have

the 100 pesos?

You and your

But you said youd

give me 100 pesos.

- 100 pesos.

- Ok, Ill give them to you!

Lets go,

hurry up.

- Did you take your juice?

- What juice?

For school.

It's in the fridge.

I left you with

some neighbors

to go get

the midwife.

I had to cross rivers in the

middle of a storm, at night.

I finally found a house,

but it was dark...

- It wasnt her house?

- No.

It was pitch

black out there...

I asked where she lived,

it was further off.

I kept searching

all night, in despair.

- Bye Grandma.

- Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

The baby's chances of

survival were diminishing.

When I got home,

he was dead.

I almost forgot.

Why are

you back?

To give this paper

to Grandma. Look.

Thats lovely!

Show it to Grandpa.

- Where did you do it?

- At school.

- Its hard to read.

- "Fresh Cheese."

You have to take it

to the highway.

Thats right.

Youll need a sturdy

board to put it on...

so it won't fly away.

Let me see, Mom.

Sorry.

Do we have Spanish

or Math today?

I can't remember

what the teacher said.

I brought the

Spanish textbook.

Guys, do you know

where Dusan is?

No idea.

Theres three of you,

Ill be fourth, ok?

- Yeah, Ill tell him.

- Im fourth.

Yeah, Ill tell him!

Dusan, Im fourth.

Thats right, I forgot. The others

got here and made a fuss.

They were fighting

over the PSP.

I didnt want to let them

play, but they forced me.

But you can

play after lunch.

Ok.

Be in the first five,

or youll lose your turn.

Ok.

"One day...

or another..."

"One day or another,

"we will all be happy."

"We will all...

...be...

...happy."

"I will be freed

of my shadow...

"and my name..."

"I will be freed of my...

Whats going on?

Whats happening, kids.

Please. Lets finish

off this chapter

So we can do

something more fun.

"He who was afraid,

...will hear his mothers

steps alongside."

- Lets play soccer!

- Ok.

Give me a break! Im in

the middle of a game.

Teams of six.

Theres one player

too many.

Lete, youre the worst

player. Youre out!

Im not the

worst player!

The peasants

the worst player.

You suck, peasant!

Go get the ball!

Not so hard!

Peasant, better take

care of the cattle!

Lets go to

the other side,

its not as crowded.

- Bye, take care.

- Bye.

We have a

Toyota Yaris Sport.

Dusan, the others have left.

- Will you let me play?

- No.

Come on, Im third.

No.

But you arrived

after everyone else.

I was in the bathroom.

Thats not my problem.

You know your car's

license plate?

Yeah. ZJ 9569.

So, its new?

No, its two years old.

Last summer, I went

to Via del Mar.

Via is nice. Theres

the beach, the sun...

I was there

with my mom,

and my moms

boyfriend.

We went to the movies

with a friend of his.

And we met these guys

who dared us to race them.

So we did.

It was awesome.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Dusan, lend it to me?

- Lend it to me.

- No.

- Im the only one left.

- You were the sixth to arrive.

But the others have left!

- Makes no difference.

- How come?

Come on...

Im playing.

What does it

matter to you?

Let me play.

You can

play at home.

I have to recharge it

and have lunch.

- You can play anytime you like!

- I want to play now.

Youll play later,

if youre in the first five.

I was fourth

this morning.

Lete told you so.

Its my PSP, not Lete's.

- Youre a real pal...

- Thank you

See now, peasant.

Three.

Four.

Now, I would like you

to write a speech.

At the end of class, someone

from each group will read it.
