Magical Girl Page #3

Tell me you understand.

Yes.

Ok. Now give me your cell phone number.

I'll call you from a cell phone

so you have it.

Now I'm calling from a public number.

When the money is ready, call me and

I'll tell you how to deliver it.

Ok.

When you give me the money

I won't bother you again.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I'm not interested. I rarely use

the cell phone. Thanks a lot.

Hello.

Hello.

Your face looks familiar.

Are you an actress?

- No.

- I am.

Ok. Do you know if Ada is at home?

Do you know my name?

- No.

- Sonica.

Fine. I'm Barbara Asuncion.

Is Ada at home?

- I'm asking if Ada is at home?

- Yes.

Thanks.

Hello Barbara.

Here's to reunions.

To reunions.

How are you doing?

Fine.

I'm glad.

I'm sorry how I left, Ada.

I didn't know how to do it.

You only had to say goodbye.

- It's not so easy.

- Yes, it is.

Do you know what offended me the most?

It wasn't you disappearing

without a word, that only worried me.

It was offensive to feel

that you were scared of me.

Because I have never done anything

for you to feel scared.

That's not the way I am,

and you know it.

I didn't want to offend you.

It's happened other times.

I'm used to it.

Anyway, I'm happy to see you doing well.

- How about you?

- Better than ever.

Business is a bit down, but I got married

four months ago and I'm very happy.

Congratulations. Who is the lucky one?

Juana.

Juana? I like that girl.

Well... what can I do for you?

I don't want to bother you.

I'm very sympathetic.

You've just seen it.

I need money.

- You don't need money.

- Pardon?

You don't need money.

Your husband has plenty.

I had to make sure you were fine.

It's a personal business.

I have to work it out on my own.

Good girl.

How much money we're talking about?

7,000.

If you give it to me now, I can pay you back

with a 15% rate in five or six months.

You know what I do and you've come to me.

If you want 7,000 you know what to do.

If you're not willing, we'll finish

the drinks and kiss goodbye,

this time like civilized people.

- There would be conditions.

- Which conditions?

No penetration... whatsoever.

That makes things harder.

Besides, I need the money this week.

It's a very short time.

You will have to work a lot.

No, that's the third condition.

A single day, a single job, in the morning.

It's the only time

my husband's not at home.

He could get suspicious

if I go out more.

It's very difficult. A lot.

7,000 euros with no penetration,

one day, one job...

It's the only way.

How many hours do you have?

From 8 to 15.

Do you know who Oliver Zoco is?

- What to you think?

- I don't know him personally.

But you know what he does, don't you?

- What do you think?

- Nothing.

I can convince him to arrange something

for this week, in the morning.

- But you have to go.

- I'm going.

If it goes along,

I'll text you the night before...

...with the place and hour

they'll pick you up.

- I'll give you my number.

- I already have it.

I like your new scar.

I'm going to the bathroom.

"Hidden number:

Humilladero Square. 11:00"

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

If you ever need a ride,

this is my card.

- It will be a pleasure.

- Thanks.

- Welcome Barbara.

- Thank you.

I'm Adela, Oliver's assistant.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks to you.

Come with me please.

You can wait in this room.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Thank you Adela.

You're welcome.

First of all, I would like to

thank you for coming to our house.

Thanks to you.

Ada's told me wonders,

but I have to confess that...

...despite not having met you,

I'd heard of you a long time ago.

I'm glad to have you with us.

Thanks.

- Do you like bullfights?

- No, not much to be honest.

Neither do I.

But it's funny that Spain is the country

where bullfighting is most popular.

Do you know why

Spain is in perennial clash?

Because we don't know whether we're

a rational or an emotional country.

The Nordic countries, for example,

are cerebral countries.

Still, Arabs or Latinos have accepted their

passionate side with no complex or guilt.

They all know which side dominates.

We Spaniards are in a balance

hanging right in the middle.

That's the way we are.

Like bullfights.

And what are bullfights?

The depiction of the struggle

between instinct and technique.

Between emotion and reason.

We have to accept our instincts

and learn to handle them...

...like if they were a bull,

so they don't destroy us.

This is exactly what

we offer our clients.

Could you remove your clothes, please?

You're very beautiful.

Thanks.

Adela.

Open it, please.

I want you to memorize that word.

Done.

Excuse my insistence, but according

to my experience with other women...

...it's likely you'll forget it

when you enter the room.

And it's very, very important

that you remember that word.

Once inside, that's the word halting all,

whenever you want it to stop.

Remember. Everything will stop

only when you pronounce that word.

There's no other way.

I want you to understand this.

I get it.

The longer you take to say it,

the more money you will make.

Do you understand the process?

Perfectly.

Return the card to Adela.

Are you ready?

Then step into the next room, please.

I'm Barbara. I got the money.

It's 14 bills, 500 euros each.

- Yes.

- Good.

I want you to go to

the library in Puerta de Toledo...

...and leave the money inside

the Spanish Constitution book.

You want me to leave 7,000 euros

in a public library?

Nobody is taking that book.

As you want.

Put the money in an envelope and

leave it in the gap at the book spine...

...not between the pages.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I have your husband's number. If I sense

anything funny, I'll call him.

Ok.

Thanks.

Alicia, supper's ready.

Cream of vegetables?

- Don't you feel like it?

- Well...

This is different,

it has a special ingredient.

It tastes like always.

You have to keep on eating

to feel the difference.

I don't know.

Did you get the grade on

your therapy work?

Not yet, I think next week.

If you feel bad

you don't have to go to school.

No, I'm fine.

Dad.

Tell me.

I want to tell you something.

What is this?

The special ingredient.

"Look inside the microwave."

"Look under the salad."

"Look behind the sofa."

Do you want to try it?

Later.

- Anything wrong?

- What?

- Looking for something?

- No.

- Is everything ok, darling?

- Yes, I love the dress.

- Are you sure?

- I'm very happy.

Hello.

What are you having?

A beer.

- No, better a liqueur coffee.

- Very well.

I'm having another.

What do you want?

I need more money.

- No.

- How come no?

I can't, I don't have any more.

Yes you can, your husband is loaded.

I don't have any money, understand?

I didn't ask my husband for

the money I gave you. I can't ask him.

You said you weren't bothering me again,

and I fulfilled my part of the deal.

It's not so easy.

You're a son of a b*tch.

I'm a son of a b*tch.

It's you cheating your husband.
