Insignificant Things Page #2

---

He's lost all interest.

- Zero sex drive.

- Just like that.

Zero.

So, you're always the horny one?

Sh*t, I'm losing interest myself.

No way, Ellie

just because Ivan's screwed up

you can't lose interest.

Just get on with your life.

That's easy to say.

But, it's pretty f***ed up when

your boyfriend won't even look at you

when you walk naked in front of him.

I can imagine.

You should sit him down

and make him face the issue.

You have to talk with him.

Yeah.

What?

- Is he kicking?

- Yes.

Hello, Teresa.

Good afternoon.

Is Paola home?

Yes, she's out back with her plants.

- And...

- She's alone.

Cowboy's home too.

- Should I call her?

- No, that's alright, thanks.

Hi, Cowboy.

Hello, Ivan.

- What are you doing?

- Drawing.

Looks nice.

It's a face.

Yes.

I have to go talk with your mom.

Will you show me

your drawings later?

- Okay.

- Give me a kiss.

Paola.

Paola.

And to what do I owe this surprise?

Why are you crying, Mommy?

No, I'm not crying.

I'm laughing, it's just...

Ivan was telling me the funniest joke.

Stay there.

Let's play airplane.

Oh, Zacarias.

Xi'nu... xi'nu...

The princess...

No!

Don't close them!

What princess?

You won't even see

the volcano with all that smog.

Dear Esmeralda,

how are you, sis?

I'm writing to tell you

that Zacarias and I have a plan.

Don Fer is looking

for help in his shop.

And we think

it would be a good job for you.

With all three of us here,

we could save up for the house.

Lina could stay

with her cousins in Mexico State.

We'll send for her

and Nana later.

I don't want to go alone.

- What, Lina?

- People get robbed in Mexico State.

I saw it on TV.

Don't be silly.

You're more likely to get robbed here.

I want to be with you.

Well, I don't.

I can't take care of you

all the time.

It's not just the past two weeks,

I'm talking about A year.

A whole-f***ing-year!

You avoid our problems,

hoping they'll just go away.

Well, they won't.

They're still here.

Like the f***ing rats.

Mice.

Mice.

Have you ever asked yourself

why you can't get it up with me?

Stop it, Ellie.

It's worth asking,

don't you think?

- I'm not overreacting.

- Stop it!

I'm sure it doesn't happen to you

with other women.

How long do you think

I can take this?

How do you know

I'm not off f***ing the first guy...?

Stop it!

And the most ironic part is

it's not even about the sex.

I think it would be better

for both of us to separate.

Don't speak for me.

You're right.

I won't speak for you.

I'll speak for myself.

I want you to go.

Nana,

I'm leaving.

I'm going with

Juventino and Zacarias.

I'll make lots of money,

aren't you glad?

Nana?

Look, I'll send you cash

through Mrs. Gonzalez each month.

You'll be fine. Besides,

you like Mrs. Gonzalez, don't you?

Why are you ignoring me?

Well, I don't care.

I don't want to stay!

Fani says the snow

will get rid of the pain.

Then we're screwed,

because there's no snow here.

Who'll take care of you there?

Who?

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Not bad at all, huh?

Ellie, congratulations.

It's amazing.

Thanks, Mariana.

See you later.

What's wrong?

- You look...

- Like sh*t?

He's not here, is he?

You didn't invite him.

Of course not.

- Obviously.

- Thanks.

- You're acting like my mom.

- Mom schmom.

Here come's your other casanova.

You two look lovely.

Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I'll call you.

- You're a doctor, right?

- Yes.

Is it true

migraineS go away with the snow?

Who ever told you that?

No,

it's not true.

Cordoba Diner.

Yes.

Ginger noodles.

C Block, apartment 222.

The Arrow

Your mom should call

the doctor about that cough.

What are you doing?

It's your mom!

Doctor,

did you chose those pictures?

Yes, my friend Ellie took them.

Do you like them?

They lie.

Lies aren't always bad, Clara.

Sebastian, what are you doing here?

I told you not to bother me

when I'm with somebody.

No, no kisses!

What will Clara think?

Don't worry, he won't bite.

He likes children.

Look.

He's been in the water.

His ears are wet.

Calm down.

Yes,

this is Clara.

You hadn't met her, had you?

She likes wearing bandanas,

just like you.

Calm down, Sebastian.

Clara and you will be great friends.

Right, Clara?

Cowboy,

you know your mom

doesn't want you touching that.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

I'll let her know.

Goodbye.

Excuse me

your husband called.

He won't be home for dinner.

Thank you, Tere.

You're such a child, Paola.

It's pathetic.

Maybe,

but not as pathetic

as you and your little girlfriends.

You're not denying it?

No, I'm not.

Great.

Then we're even.

I've got someone who really loves me.

This isn't a soap opera, Paola.

You don't have the slightest idea

what "love" means.

And you do?

I loved you.

- Hello, Teresa.

- Good afternoon.

Is Paola home?

Yes, she's out back with her plants.

- And...

- She's alone.

Cowboy's home too.

- Should I call her?

- No, that's alright, thanks.

I got the test results yesterday.

I consulted with a specialist.

It's leukemia.

It's still in the early stages.

Paoline.

Don't call me Paoline.

I'll be with him,

with you, through it all.

We don't need your help.

Thank you.

Paola.

Calm down.

There's a doctor,

my neighbor.

His office is in Felix Cuevas.

He's a psychologist.

Augusto Gabrieli.

He might be able to help you.

He'll pull through,

we have to have believe that.

Why are you crying, Mommy?

No, I'm not crying.

I'm laughing,

it's just...

Ivan was telling me the funniest joke.

Weren't you?

Stay there,

let's play airplane.

Let's fly,

in the sky...

I can't talk now.

I'll call you later.

Why don't you go in with him?

He says he'd rather go in alone.

He's in short-term chemo, isn't he?

Don't worry,

it barely even hurts.

I was a little scared too, at first.

Do you like it?

It's for you.

- Clara Castellanos!

- That's me!

Home delivery.

For a Mister...

Gabrieli.

Can you go?

No way.

I'll pay you.

Come in.

Here you go.

Keep the change.

- Are those the waterfalls?

- What?

The ones that froze.

Do you like them?

Here

I don't need it anymore.

You busted my wheel.

It's not my fault,

a woman in front

cut me off.

I didn't see her.

- It wasn't my fault.

- You think you own the street.

Please go away.

No.

Look, let me tell you something.

Every day at two o'clock

the city is paralyzed by mommies

who won't let their kids

walk a measly two blocks.

Look, you little f***ing brat,

get out of my f***ing way or go to hell,

hear me?

God damn f***ing traffic.

You're not supposed to say f***.

For Christ's sake Diego, shut up.

I'm sorry, honey.

I don't know what came over me.

Look...

Look what I have.

Do you want it?

I'll leave it here for you.

They really did a job with this,

but we'll fix it good as new.

You'll see.

And, to top it off,

just because I like you.

You see?

Here,

I found it.

I didn't steal it.

Thank you.

Aren't you going

to count your money?

I'm no crook.

No, you're not a crook.
