Los perfectos desconocidos Page #3

---

from your sister because

you never call... Shall I go on?

Forget it.

That'd be better.

Would you give your phone to Eduardo?

Sure. I don't even have a password.

Leave me out of it,

I'm not the jealous type.

He'd swallow his phone

before he'd give it to me.

Sure, as a psychologist

she knows what I'm thinking.

It's great.

We go straight to being angry,

no need to argue beforehand.

Here, honey, all yours.

Now you think I'm contradicting you

and it's a worthless gesture.

Nothing you do lately

is worth much, honey.

Well, in a nutshell,

nobody has any secrets, eh?

No.

No?

We sure are boring.

What secrets do you want us to have?

We know each other inside out.

Wait, I'm getting an idea.

Let's play a game.

Leave all your phones

in the middle of the table.

And?

As long as dinner lasts,

the messages, WhatsApps, calls

that reach us, we read

and listen to them all together.

Since we have no secrets, right?

I've got no problem, there's mine.

Ole!

Sure, Pepe, that's brave.

Your girl's at home with the runs.

I would've done it anyway.

Blanca, what's all this about?

Just some fun.

I don't see the fun in it.

You have something to hide?

Not me.

Then you start.

You think I wouldn't dare?

What pisses me off is that

I could find out something

I don't want to know.

If you're fooling around,

it's your business.

If I was, I wouldn't be

so dumb as to leave it in writing.

I've got no problem with it.

This is like the truth game.

Remember we played it

when we were young?

When we were young

we also jerked off constantly.

Honey, don't be a bore,

it'll be fun.

Or should I be worried?

Not at all.

Come on, are you serious?

I think it's bad taste

to leave your phones on the table.

Antonio always leaves it face down.

What?

He does this.

You thought I didn't realise.

That's just a habit.

Doesn't it scratch the screen

and cost 150 euros to fix?

It's titanium.

In the Chinese stores it's 50.

Fine, let's scratch all the screens.

Okay, okay. Look.

Happy?

Very.

Well...

now there's no turning back.

F***!

What was that?

The eclipse.

Is it me or has everyone

gone mad all at once?

You jumped the light!

You're crazy! You're nuts!

That corner always has accidents.

The light's too fast.

Cars run into each other...

I'm freezing.

Put your glasses on!

Who gave you a license?

It's turning red.

Aren't we going to watch the eclipse?

It lasts a couple of hours.

We'll look at it later.

If my mother calls,

I'm not answering it.

This is crap.

The eclipse?

No, the game.

We're acting like kids.

Sh*t!

Who put them like that?

I did. It looks nicer, right?

Sh*t, Blanca, you scared me!

It looked like a poltergeist.

Let's see if I get this.

I can pick up anyone's phone?

No, only incoming messages,

WhatsApps, calls...

Whoever's turn it is.

Exactly.

Like Russian roulette?

Facebook?

No, not Facebook.

Why not?

Too many notifications and such.

We'll be on the phones all night.

And no airplane mode.

And it's no good

if anyone has a second phone.

Eva, you're poison tonight.

Will the round steak be long, honey?

Round steak, great.

See you later, okay?

Whoah, Sofa!

Let's see what she wants...

You look pretty, Sofi.

Just as well

she took after her mother.

Dad, can you come here?

How cute.

She's embarrassed.

You could say hello.

Why don't you say hello?

Got any cash on you?

Yes.

Can you pour me some?

How old is Sofi now?

She turns 17 in June.

17...

I remember when she turned 10

in your house in Cdiz,

it seems like yesterday.

Yes.

We bought her a bikini

and since she had no...

Cut it out.

It fell off all the time.

Okay.

Yes, you got so mad.

Do you have to recall

the worst things?

A message!

It's yours, Edu.

"I desire... your body".

We're off to a good start.

Jesus Christ...

Who is it?

I don't know. I don't know.

Eduardo...

I don't know, honey.

No, not "honey".

Who desires your body?

I have no idea

who the hell sent this message!

Tell me.

Look, you've got a call.

You have to answer it.

Is it the same number?

You have to answer it, Edu.

I don't know who it is.

Answer it!

Hello?

What?

No one there.

Ask again.

Ask who it is.

Who is it? Who is it?

Hello?

You d*ckhead!

You moron!

You should've seen your face.

You're really...

Say it:
An a**hole.

He's a twit! A twit!

Come on...

It's no big deal!

Dad, I have to go!

My God.

Honey, at least say goodbye.

Hello and goodbye!

'Bye, Sofi, have a good time.

'Bye.

'Bye, Sofi.

She's not always like this.

Sometimes she's worse.

I think she's charming.

She's wonderful.

At her age it's normal

to want to go out.

What do you know?

You don't have kids.

If you don't do crazy stuff

when you're young,

you end up playing the fool at 40.

Talking about yourself, Pepe?

I don't know if I'd be

a good mother, it terrifies me.

Why? Are you trying?

It looks like it.

That's great.

Just great.

Let's toast to these two.

There's nothing to toast to yet.

Anyone f***ing is worth celebrating.

That's right.

You've got no class,

no grace, Ana, really.

Shouldn't I have said that?

No, anyone can say anything here.

Poor guy, I made you

look bad in front of your friends.

Better to pretend that after 15 years

we still f*** every day.

Who cares here if we f***

on Mondays, Wednesdays

or the Fourth of July?

We don't go by days,

but hours, right?

Honey...

To children and the meaning

they give to our lives.

No, no. No, no, no.

Why?

And those of us without children?

Life make no sense without children?

Sorry, I don't buy it.

Then let's toast to the eclipse.

I don't mean you guys,

but having children is often

the way out for bored couples,

a desperate leap forward.

A child is a desperate leap forward?

It can be:

Something that fixes

a worn-out situation.

Very good, Pepe. Very good.

I don't want a child

to keep something going.

Why do you want one?

Well, to...

complete life as a couple,

to fulfill myself as a woman...

Right, and a normal

but childless couple

can't be happy, or what?

Do you know that childless couples,

on average, are much happier?

Terrific, honey.

Sure, kids are like pliers,

doing this to you.

You're getting tipsy.

I'll tell you,

the best thing I've ever done

is have my daughter. By far.

And if it'd been up to me,

we would've had more.

When I put Rosa to bed

and her little face says to me

"You're the world's prettiest mom",

I'm the world's happiest woman.

Let's toast to that.

Wait till she turns 17

and she crosses the street

so her friends don't meet you.

Then the "best thing

that ever happened to you"

will make you

"the world's happiest woman".

The first call!

It's mine. It's my sister Marta.

Do I answer it?

Sure.

Pepe, answer it.

Put it on speaker.

Hi, Marta.

Hi.

Watch what you say,

you're on speaker.

That's not fair.

Speaker?

It's not fair to tell her.

You're on speaker.

Take it off.

No, I can't.

Why can't you?

I'll explain later, just talk.
