La sangre iluminada Page #2

---

Can you see anything?

Alittle.

The next ones are the kids

playing with a dog...

...their Aunt Margarita

gave them...

...in the backyard.

We buried Katie

in the rosebush.

-The roses she took?

-Yeah.

I hope they survive

the freeze.

What's the other one?

It my little boy's birthday.

You know...

...a lot of food,

relatives, pinatas...

I don't really like that.

Children look older every day

and adults get more wrinkles.

-Do you want some coffee?

-Sure.

-Do you want a thermos?

-Yes, please.

So you're leaving?

I'll miss you.

Are you sure

about leaving?

You have a fever.

No, I don't have

a fever.

You think?

Hands off.

I have to take you

on the road with me.

No.

Just promise one day...

...you'll bring the projector

so I can see them.

All right.

I promise, Isabel.

I can't imagine how

it looks up close.

Maybe I'll feel sad

to see myself younger.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm going now.

It's okay.

You're okay.

Don't worry.

Do you feel okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Thank you.

You're bleeding.

Can you bring me water?

Will you work here?

Yes, all morning.

I'm fine.

Okay.

All right.

Sure you don't want me

to pick you up?

Yes, I'm sure.

You won't stand me up

like yesterday?

You don't want

to go out for dinner?

Yes.

Isabel?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Do you need anything?

Come on,

I live across the street.

-Come in.

-Thank you.

Sit here.

Calm down and

tell me what's wrong.

I'm getting some water.

I'm home, Eugenio!

What are you doing here?

-Nothing.

-What's going on?

Nothing.

Where were you?

I was making a call.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Roberto?

Roberto?

Good evening.

I called a while ago.

Thank you.

Hello?

Thank you.

It's eleven.

So soon?

Yeah, dude.

Let's go.

Come on,

you're like a girl.

Bye, Rosie!

Soriano, I have to go

pick up some copies.

It's urgent, do you have

change you can lend me?

No, I only have a bill.

You haven't got change?

We can say we'll pay

on Monday.

-No.

-Hold on.

What's wrong?

It isn't right.

No.

Then I'll have to go.

It's chaos at the office.

Do you mind?

No.

Meet me at the copy machine.

-Ring this up, please.

-Yes, Ma'am.

Ten, five and one.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Two coffees.

Sorry for leaving you there,

Soriano.

Garcia forgot to pick

these papers up...

...and you know the boss.

Thank you.

I'll make it up to you.

On Monday...

...my turn to pay,

we'll have Chinese coffee.

It sucks,

how can you like it?

I like the Chinese guy's

daughter, she's so hot.

You have to take bullets

for love.

I need a drink.

Shut up.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

You! You!

I'm sure...

Paloma?

Hi, Paloma.

You don't know me,

but may I speak to you?

Just one moment.

I need your help.

Do you remember this?

It would've been nice, huh?

What?

To spark a change.

They found something strange

in the blood tests...

...and they want to keep

looking into it.

I need you to help me

get out of here.

It's about time

you got here.

Who ran over you, man?

What happened?

Are you okay?

Let's go get our coffee.

You don't need coffee,

you need saline.

You won't beat anyone

this time, right?

I mean, in your condition.

What?

Last time I left you alone

for ten minutes...

...you sent an old lady

to the hospital.

You won't say anything?

The usual place?

No.

The Chinese place?

Sounds better.

Amelia?

Happy birthday!

Wait, I'm almost finished.

Wait.

Wait.

Stop.

We'll be seen.

-Wait.

-It's nothing.

I can't let her cry.

Did Mrs. Amelia go out?

She watered the plants

in the morning.

You finally noticed I'm here.

I've been here

for an hour.

I went to your room

but you weren't there.

I thought you were here.

When did you get here?

Early.

You didn't sleep, did you?

You look like crap.

I got bored pacing

so I went for a walk.

I hardly sleep anymore.

I'm obsessed with being awake

when I die.

No wonder you don't sleep.

Besides, who's to say

it'll happen tomorrow.

When you're meant to die,

you will.

Who cares if you're awake

or asleep?

I do. I want to be awake.

So much has happened

to me, I want to see it.

I want to see

what happens.

Look.

What?

I always make you look.

I forget you're

a high school boy.

Jackass.

You were getting

too serious.

Let me see this.

-She sure was pretty.

-Show some respect!

You move to be close to her

but you don't talk.

Say something to her.

Don't be a chicken.

Hit on her.

Let me treat you to dinner.

Tamales!

-Are we rich?

-Not so much.

I got a good job.

Want some coffee?

Is it hot?

-What were you doing?

-Nothing.

Just cleaning some things.

How about you?

What did you do now?

Nothing. I just crashed

a good party.

AChristmas party?

Did they give out tamales?

No, dumbass.

They gave out these.

I even sold some.

-Seller getting customers.

-What is this?

Agreat synthetic paste.

I brought you one to try.

You're so generous.

That's just me.

Eat your tamale.

Okay.

Do you move a lot?

Yeah, I do.

If it was so long ago,

why are you obsessed?

I don't really know.

Maybe because they're

the nicest memories I had.

Well, when I was still

in Mateo...

...or maybe I still think

Mateo screwed up...

...and he didn't understand

what was going on.

Maybe because

he found her again.

Or just because

you're stubborn.

Maybe, I don't know.

I think it was the first time

I fell in love.

The second time

I fell in love...

...you don't know

what Isabel meant to me.

How does it feel to leave

people in each life?

Like hell.

It's so sad.

It's a life already begun...

...you have problems

that aren't yours...

...and you leave

in the middle.

There were good friends

in that life...

...people.

Though you never choose

the people you're with...

...and you always

leave quickly...

...you still get attached.

-That sounds awful.

-No sh*t.

It's terrible.

I started on life

and I began to move...

...and try things.

You leave and

you don't even notice...

...until that moment

when you blow it all to hell...

...and it passes

but it doesn't matter.

You won't be there.

Sh*t.

That sounds terrible.

In fact...

...it sounds like sh*t.

You're so stupid.

You know what I mean.

Who chose to be your friend?

Not me.

I don't give a sh*t.

I'm exhausted.

You're in for the long haul,

aren't you?

-What will you do?

-Walk.

Are you going this way

or that way?

That way.

I'm going to sleep.

Come see me

when you wake up...

-...I got a bad feeling.

-See you.

Bye.

-But, give him money?

-Yes, it's only right.

I haven't got any on me.

-No.

-Don't be selfish.

What's up, Isaias?

Long time no see.

Right. I thought I'd

just take a walk.

I'm glad to see you.

How are you?

The same.

Fine.

Well, I got to run.

See you tomorrow.

-See you.

-Isaias.

Drop by in the morning,

won't you?

-We can talk.

-Sure.

-Bye!

-Bye, man.

How's work?

Great.

The boss was fired.

Now I have twice the work.
