Latitudes Page #4

- Answer me.

I want you

to show me the city.

No. It's cold, it's empty

and no one is out.

It's raining...

Would you rather

I had not come?

You barely got here

and you're leaving,

it makes no sense.

I'm here.

Give me some credit.

Because of this layover

I'll have to take a long flight

during the day.

You hate daytime flights...

See?

That's how much

I wanted to see you.

Who is this girl you're

shooting tomorrow?

The model. Naked.

She's some soccer

player's girlfriend.

I thought you didn't

do fashion shoots.

- Didn't have the patience...

- I don't.

And what kind is this one?

What? The naked girl's?

Well, it's

a naked girl shoot.

And for those shoots

you have patience.

Model, naked,

surrounded by dogs...

Altogether, in the rain.

Yeah, the model does

make things harder.

See? Some people

are still up.

You look good

against that wall.

Why do you think

I brought you here?

To see other couples.

They're not couples,

they're lovers.

They kiss in the dark,

in the shadows...

- So no one will see.

- No one cares.

- Don't be mad.

- I'm not mad. Come here.

Your trip tomorrow. Well,

not tomorrow, in a few hours...

Is it an arrival

or a departure?

What is that, a riddle?

Do you want to know

if I'm going home?

Kind of. Almost.

Why?

I wanted to invite

you over to my home.

I live in a beautiful house.

Kind of messy, but nice.

I wanted you to see it.

I wanted to show it to you.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Will you hide all your

pictures before I get there?

Where will your wife be?

On a trip?

I'm not married,

I don't have a wife.

Your girlfriend, then.

I don't have

a girlfriend anymore.

I think you rushed things.

I don't.

We hadn't talked about that.

Did we have to?

I don't know.

Why are you

telling me all this now?

I just wanted to invite you

over to my house, that's all.

I'm tired.

That's what I told her.

That I had enough.

She was sad, so was I.

Sorry, I don't want to know.

Why not?

It was because of you.

No. It was

because of you.

If you did that for anyone,

it was for yourself. Not for me.

- Nothing's expected of you.

- Oh really?

I just wanted you to

see my home, that's all.

It wasn't meant

to be like this.

Things weren't supposed

to get mixed up.

Yeah, but they did, right?

What are your plans?

I don't know. I think

I'll stay for a few days.

Who knows? Maybe I'll

run into another spoiled girl

to keep me company

on my day off.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

I can't hear you

say that anymore.

- I know.

- I can't do this.

Let's talk about this later.

Let me go home first.

- Home...

- I'm late.

No. I'm the one who's late.

- I'm wasting my time.

- Don't. It's not like that.

Yes, it is. I'll tell you what:

Go, Olivia. But leave for good.

- Leave me alone.

- You're not giving me a chance.

I can't give you

anything anymore.

Just one advice.

Get out of the shadow,

stop hiding in the dark.

BUENOS AIRES:

Hi.

Hello, my love.

Have you been

here for long?

I didn't want to wake you.

I realized you were exhausted.

- Did you have a nice flight?

- Yes. It was delayed a bit.

"Airplane is the fastest way

to arrive anywhere late."

Who used to say that?

It's stressful to travel around

from one place to another.

- Where did you come from?

- Madrid.

What a crazy route!

You should've asked me to

make you a reservation.

Why didn't you?

I don't know.

Why is it that every time we are

in Buenos Aires we come here?

It's a real place,

with real people.

That come in

to read the news,

have some coffee

and nothing else.

That's good sometimes.

You don't have to be rude.

I'm sorry, my love.

I didn't mean to be rude.

I was talking about myself.

I'm glad you have

a place in Buenos Aires.

I would love to have

a place. Anywhere.

It's been hard, right?

We have to go on

a trip. That's it!

No. What I want most

is to go back home.

Not travel.

I meant together.

You called me

and I came, right?

You know what I mean.

A place where we

have time to relax.

Where neither of us

has a plane to catch at night.

Why did you come through

Madrid? Weren't you in London?

- It was only a layover.

- Exactly.

What do you want to

know? I don't get it.

No, I'm the one

who doesn't get it.

Weren't you in London?

There are direct flights.

Yes, but I had to spend

a day in Portugal.

Did you meet Juan and Bia?

No. I didn't go to Lisbon.

I caught a plane that

seemed perfect at the time.

Now it doesn't seem that

way, but at that time it did.

I'm sorry.

I should've gone home.

Waited for you there.

I'm exhausted.

I have to go home.

Well, I thank you.

I'm happy you made the effort.

By the time I got

home next week,

you would definitely

be gone already.

Yes or no?

Clear out your schedule.

One week, nothing else.

I won't stay here while you go

from one meeting to another.

- I'll clear out mine too.

- I doubt that.

We'll rent a car, we'll go

to the desert, the Pampas,

and we'll make love

for a week in any hotel.

You look so beautiful.

It's been a while

since I've seen you this pretty.

You can tell that

although you are tired,

something is

making you very happy.

I need to go home.

I really need to go home.

Is that what you want?

- Are you sure?

- Yes, that's what I want.

Well, at least you know what

you want. That's a start.

You're making things harder.

No. You know what's

making things harder?

It's your pathetic effort

to try to stay in control

when it's clear

you have no idea

where you want to be

for the next 5 minutes.

And with whom.

That's what I think.

You know what?

It'll be good

for you to go home.

By yourself.

You'll arrive there,

and you'll have to turn on

the lights in every room...

Open all the windows,

all the shades...

Open the fridge, full

of light food. All gone bad.

And stay there.

By yourself.

Realize that you have

very few true friends.

And even less

that you could talk

without having to tell them

your entire last year.

Unbearable, isn't it?

You say that

will all your wisdom.

The most perfect

man in history.

You want to judge me?

Rest assured.

I know my sins.

Both small and big.

The difference, my love,

Is that I don't have

time to waste.

You can believe

me or not, but...

You know what I want

most in the world?

To see you happy.

That's all.

But that's seems to be a little

too expensive, right now.

I'm sorry.

You know I've always been

more honest than I should.

I'm not a romantic.

I'm more than willing to play

the game of cynicism

and dissimulation

that allows for married

couples to stay married.

- But it seems cowardly...

- If you think I will...

Stop setting up this circus

just so you won't have

to go through the trouble

of deciding what

you want for your life.

For our lives.

Check, please.

I'm stuck in a place where

I don't know if I should ask

and drown in a sea of details

or ask absolutely nothing

about this guy you've been
