intimidated by me.

I think being a fireman

is a big turn on.

It is, isn't it?

Yeah... Well, I don't know.

I guess so.

-I've never been in love.

-I don't believe you.

l swear,

I don't know what it is.

-But you've had girlfriends.

-Yeah, sure.

But not all that thing

of being in love and suffering.

But being in love

isn't just suffering.

-It's a lot of other things.

-What things?

They saw me in the calendar

we do every year

and wanted me to be

''eye candy"' on a TV show.

But I said no.

Obviously.

But I wonder how my life

would be now if I'd said yes.

...understanding, affection,

support,

but nowadays no one seems

willing to offer all that.

We're badly formatted.

Hey, man!

-How are you?

-Great, and you?

Great, having a drink.

Well, thanks.

It was a pleasure.

Is that it?

Is that it?

Is today OK?

Is today OK?

Sure.

So,

you're a vegetarian.

For any special reason?

Sh*t, my drops!

Well, it's because

meat today is full

of hormones and antibiotics

and it's hard for your body

to eliminate that sh*t.

And it causes cancer

and loads of illnesses.

Homeopathy for anxiety.

Just relax.

You think I'm nervous?

No, but you said

that the drops...

Never mind.

But they say vegetables are

full of pesticides, don't they?

Or do you only eat

ultra-biological stuff?

I try to,

-as much as possible.

-Of course.

For later.

-It's odd, a fireman who smokes.

-Well, I'm one.

Some wine?

I don't drink alcohol.

A lot of limitations.

You think so? You must think

I'm kind of paranoid.

Are you?

I watch myself.

But I'll make

an exception today.

I don't believe

in couples anymore.

I did, when I was stupid,

but not now.

I don't know why people

insist on pairing off.

Isn't it absurd?

No one is willing to give way.

And I'm the worst.

If I'm dating

I become really possessive.

Being your boyfriend

can't be easy.

Well, it's the wine too.

I'm not used to it.

Give me some more!

-Really?

-Yes, go on!

I think we're all crazy,

simple as that.

You know?

And after what happened

I don't...

I don't want long relationships

or commitments

or anything like that.

-A rose for pretty girl?

-No, thank you.

I do want a rose

for the handsome guy.

As you won't do it...

Thank you.

Here, for being handsome.

-Did you want me to buy you one?

-No, not at all.

I don't always catch on.

Neither do l.

Now I am ''pretty girl''.

At times I don't know

what planet girls are from.

From Earth, like guys.

Why do they always say:

''I love you as you are''

and then try to change me?

You have to be cold,

forget about your heart.

They say girls prefer

commitment to sex,

but I don't think that's true.

I could tell you about a few...

The homeopath told me

to take what I wanted,

what was important was that

I shouldn't get obsessed.

Yeah, it's strange.

-Well...

-It's...

Would you like another drink?

I'm on duty tomorrow.

And I'm working tomorrow!

We met on a Sunday,

the worst day!

If you'd called me Friday,

or Saturday...

Thank you so much for dinner.

I hope all those vegetables

didn't disagree with you.

No, my digestive system

is very grateful.

We'll talk another day,

if you like.

Yes, we'll see.

Anyway...

-This is Station 8.

-Go ahead.

Received Key 6 from 811.

Well?

A lady left her cooker on.

Where's Tono?

What?

Come here, quick!

-Why all the hurry?

-I want my money.

I screwed the masseuse

on Saturday.

Merce?

She rang you?

Yeah.

-Was her name Merce?

-What?

I screwed the masseuse

on Saturday.

So cough up the money, guys.

What do you mean?

I screwed her.

On Saturday? Impossible.

-On Friday.

-She's something else!

I saw her on Sunday.

-You didn't screw her?

-She's weird.

I thought she was nice.

Weird? She gave you

the brush-off.

We should've gone after

the sister, she was famous.

She was so horny

she was bound to call all of us.

So, is it a draw?

-We'll leave the fund for later?

-I'm sick of this game.

Yeah, because you lost.

-Or because you really liked her?

-You're a d*ckhead.

-Who's calling you?

-Your mother.

It's not the masseuse,

is it?

-Is it her?

-Is she calling?

The bastard bit me.

-Are you there?

-Yes, I'm here.

I thought I'd give you a call

to see how you are.

I'm fine, great.

I'm here,

working too.

Saving lots of lives?

No, it's quiet today.

Just as well.

Maybe you'd like to meet,

have a drink...

This week I'm really busy, but...

-I'll see.

-Sure, we can talk later.

-OK.

-Work hard!

You've got over 300 films?

And really good quality. I've got

them all, whatever you want.

I don't really know

how to copy films.

No, I download them,

but I pay for them.

I'll lend you my hard drive

and you can copy them.

Want to come to the station

for lunch?

If you're paying...

Hey, don't go.

They weren't that hot.

This is sh*t!

No one's written

a single comment!

I'm erasing it.

Want to do a gig?

Another one?

In Benidorm.

They don't pay much

but they want a familiar face.

-What do you think?

-No more disco gigs, Fidel.

No, thank you.

You want work,

I'm offering you work.

This is all there is.

I need quality work

to make my comeback.

You're my agent, sell me!

I'm trying, love,

but they want new faces.

You were over-exposed,

they can't slot you anywhere.

They still play my song

in gay clubs!

They know what's good,

not like TV executives!

Calm down, Loreto,

sweetheart.

See how I can get angry?

I could do it on a TV program

and make a fortune!

Get me on some channel.

All in good time, my love.

-I have faith in you.

-Same here.

I have faith in me.

How much do they pay

in Benidorm?

How are you getting on?

I'm still the same.

I go out on some calls,

the simple ones,

when we're short staffed,

but I try to work on the radio.

When the siren goes off,

I'm terrified.

I can put you on sick leave

any time you want.

No, no, not again.

I prefer to stay in the station.

Otherwise, it'd be like

feeding my paranoia.

Excuse me.

Call rejected

It's my first time.

Afriend says it's very liberating.

Yes, it is, just relax

and turn off your phone.

At times I think about it:

going to the country,

quitting the job,

doing something else...

Excuse me again.

Hello?

Call rejected

-Answer it, if you want.

-No.

It's a girl.

She's being a pain.

That's it.

Shall we talk about her?

We went out for dinner,

it was great.

She's bit crazy,

very different from

the girls I usually date.

They're kind of silly, but...

But...?

I don't know.

I think she's one of those girls

you get now

who screw guys without

thinking about what they feel.

That's interesting.

Something's happened.

Isn't that what women

accused you of doing?

Come on, let it all out.

That's it, very good.

Go on, let it all out,

by yourself.

Yes?

Do it yourself, let it out.

Raul.

What a surprise!

F***!

What's up?

Aren't you training today?

I'm checking out

what you brought.

You've got loads of films.

I told you.

Can you work it?
