You can come whenever you want

without an appointment.

- I'll surprise you.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Excuse me, ma'am. What's wrong?

Oh, sir, somebody stole my bag

and left me with nothing.

- But are you okay? Did they harm you?

- No, I'm fine.

Be patient. Anyway, you can

get the material things back.

I can help you out, if you like.

I'd really appreciate it if you could,

because I need to get home.

Thank you, sir. Goodbye.

Thanks.

Done.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

- Have you chosen, honey?

- Yes. I like this.

What?

It's okay, I like it. Come on.

You'll look gorgeous.

I hope so.

Move your hair, please.

And how is Alberto?

He asked me to move in with him.

Can I tell you something?

- I feel really sorry for his wife.

- No. Why sorry?

That woman is horrible to him.

- Ready?

- Do it.

You know what?

I've never been to Monserrate.

Really?

Would you like to come with me?

No.

Why?

You don't know the story?

What do you mean? What?

They say that couples who go

to Monserrate will never get married.

Well, I think I'm going

to close the office for today.

I want to take you somewhere.

Bring me the bill, please. Thanks.

But this one's on me.

No.

Yes.

A long time ago we looked like shadows.

I know, darling. I know.

Where is it?

I don't know, darling. I don't know.

I gave it to you

to look after on the first day,

- the same day that I accepted you.

- I know, darling. I know.

Then where the hell have you put it?!

If it weren't for this,

we would be free.

- I don't know, darling.

- Shut up!

Don't call me that! I haven't been

your darling for a long time now.

And yet, I can't get away from here.

I need to find her.

If you tell me, I swear to you

I'll forget all the bad memories.

But if we don't find her,

the bad ones will destroy

the good ones...

and then I'm going to hate you

for the rest of my life.

If I could take somebody's hand...

If I could ask somebody where she is.

Help me!

Do you know where she is?

But how could you know?

You don't even exist.

You are the same as me-- the same.

I have only you.

So how did you like it?

I loved it. Congratulations.

You're brilliant.

- Thank you very much.

- Well done, Pedro. Congratulations.

Congratulations. Buddy,

this is your play, your baby,

and finally it's seen the light of day!

- Congratulations, buddy.

- Thank you.

- Hang on. Eduardo, you wrote this play?

- Yes.

He didn't tell you?

This man is the creator

of the masterpiece you have just seen.

- But you brought it to life.

- A minor role.

Everyone, here is our star writer!

- Hello.

- Hi everyone.

- Hi Eduardo. How are you?

- Fine. You were really good, Lorena.

- Congratulations to you too.

- Thank you.

- Oh, this is Karen.

- Hi Karen. How are you?

- How are you? Nice to meet you.

- Did you like the play?

- Very good. Congratulations.

- Thank you very much for coming.

Are you staying here

for awhile this evening?

Yes, of course.

Honestly, I can't.

I have to work tomorrow.

No, don't say that.

Your boyfriend is a genius.

Pedro's direction was really good.

You were great as well;

and the guys, excellent.

Thank you so much.

- Excuse me one moment. Persuade her.

- Of course.

Karen, you can't go. We have

to celebrate. You don't have a choice!

Well, here we are.

Goodbye.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome. Bye.

Do you want to come in?

- Welcome to my home.

- Thanks.

What are you thinking about?

About the great time

I had with you tonight.

Thanks for coming with me, really--

- honestly.

- I had a really good time as well.

Hold on.

What's going on?

Let's do it with it on.

No. Take it off.

Wait.

What's the problem?

They're so small.

What are you talking about?

You look great to me.

- Really?

- Really.

Patricia.

Patricia!

Mrs. Magda!

Hello.

What happened, huh?

I'm ashamed that

you've seen me like this.

Don't be silly. You've seen me worse.

Was it because of Alberto?

Look at me.

Remember that you are

a really beautiful person, full of life.

You're--

you're a wonderful person...

and you'll get over it, right?

That's not true.

What do you mean?

I'm not even blonde. I'm a fake.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

- Hello.

- Hi Mom.

Say hello to your mommy.

- Go to say hello to your mommy!

- Mom, don't force her.

I'll see you in a little while, okay?

- Nice to meet you.

- Goodbye.

I don't know how to run so slowly.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Let's go son.

Sir!

Your wallet!

Ah, my wallet! Come on, run!

Run and get it from her.

Come on, son.

Hello.

- You're so kind. Have a nice day.

- Goodbye.

And the little duck has arrived.

Little missy?

Very good. One, two, three.

Very good.

Come for the little duck.

- Kisses for the duck!

- Very good.

I'm going to put this one here.

The other is for your mom.

Come here, Patricia.

For your mom.

We put this one here, you see?

Patricia, why didn't you tell me?

Because it's not easy.

That'll be my mom.

I'll get the door.

Where?

- I'm coming.

- Grandma is here.

- So you live here.

- What do you want?

- To talk to you.

- About what?

I need to talk.

I promise to leave after that.

Please.

Let's go.

- At your service. What would you like?

- Two cappuccinos, please.

We don't have cappuccino.

Just black coffee or latte.

- Okay, two lattes.

- Sure.

- I'll have a beer, instead of a latte.

- Sure.

Karen, I know that I made

a lot of mistakes...

that I wasn't a good husband,

- that...

- Don't apologize, please.

Our marriage was a mistake.

I was never the woman for you.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

You look good with short hair.

- And how's business?

- Fine fine.

I finished the thing I was working on

with Sandra and, well,

now we're waiting for other projects.

And are you working?

I'm doing this and that around here.

And your ring?

You're not wearing it.

Do you want to know the truth?

Are you seeing someone?

Listen...

I had to pawn the ring because

I had no money to pay for a meal.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- And...

our relationship was over

before I left, wasn't it?

Shall we get the bill?

Ma'am. The bill.

- How much is it?

- 3,000 pesos.

Let me get it.

- My pleasure, please come again.

- Thank you.

Well, when will I see you again?

I don't know Mario.

I'll call you sometime, okay?

- Okay.

- Goodbye.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Someone called for you.

- Who?

They called from the bookstore

where you left your resume,

to offer you a job.

They want you to get over there

as soon as possible.

Thanks. Bye. I'll see you later.

Okay, good luck.

Hello.

You know I hate it

when people turn up late.

Yes yes. I'm sorry.

But I had to do some things

at the last minute

and I couldn't call you.

But let's not argue about it.

Yes, you're right.

I have good news.

Me too!

No. You tell me first.

I got a job in a bookstore.

That's good.

I'm so happy. It's like everything

is beginning to fall into place.

I'm so happy for you.
