What?

Don't you have something here

to give Daro?

No. I don't do prescriptions.

Can't medicate him.

No, I don't mean a prescription, doctor.

Like a job.

A job? That thing with the job again?

Who do you think I am?

-Any job?

-No!

-Think about it.

-I won't.

-I work alone.

-We could reach an understanding.

What kind of understanding?

I give you the money for his salary.

And more, of course.

Think about it.

So cute, so cute.

Beautiful.

You're wearing makeup?

Yes.

Haven't seen you like that.

You will now.

It's all right. You're two faced.

-Where is it?

-North.

-But where?

-I'll take you.

How are we getting in?

With the guy from work.

He's going to the club.

-Did you tell him?

-No. What would I tell him?

Tell us, come on!

Were bricks and domes

used in the Byzantine Empire?

No!

No!

Seemed impossible. I didn't think so.

But I didn't know that answer.

I didn't study that part exactly.

So I drew a blank.

I didn't know what to do.

And right then, guys,

I remembered

that the night before, my father

had given me a penholder.

A fancy one, made of gold,

or it was golden, at least.

So I said:
"Sorrati,

begging your pardon,

I'd like to give you this

for your dedication,

and love for architecture,

and blah, blah, blah,

as a gift."

So, I gave him the penholder

and he stares at me.

Looks me straight in the eye

and says:
"So, architect Albert,

do you want a B+?"

Success!

Good move with that penholder.

-I saw that. He likes you.

-He likes me a lot apparently.

I didn't plan ahead.

Hold on, hold on.

So, you have him the penholder,

and what did he ask then?

No... What?

He didn't ask me anything.

He asked me

about the Byzantine Empire,

and I gave him the penholder.

He didn't ask anything.

Excuse me.

Excuse me,

could I have a gin and tonic?

One gin and tonic, please.

That one?

-Which one?

-That one. The tall one.

Tall and slim guy.

Him? No. Awful, don't like him.

No, no. Do you like him?

You like him?

Yes.

Sure?

I'll get him.

Count.

One, two, three.

You have a big house.

It's not mine. It's my mom's.

I'm making a few changes at home,

and I have my studio there...

What're you having?

-I'm not thirsty.

-Really?

No drinks? Look what I got.

For you, for you, for you.

-No?

-No, thanks.

I'll have a drink.

Sure you won't drink?

No.

Not even a little?

A small taste?

It's all right. Look it's fine, fine.

It's fine.

Come, come, come.

Come, come, come.

You sure?

Yes.

-Let me.

-All right.

-Wait.

-Give it to me...

No, no. What is it? What is it?

Stop.

-Stop. What is it?

-No condom.

No, I don't know you. No condom?

-Here, here, let me.

-Wait, wait, wait.

Love, are you all right?

Are you sure?

No, stop, stop, stop.

-Go.

-I'm not leaving.

-Go now...

-No!

F*** me! Please!

Go on, beat it.

-What are you doing?

-F***ing hell!

-You okay, darling?

-Yes.

Stay still or I'll kill you, okay?

-You okay, darling?

-Yes.

-You sure he didn't hurt you?

-No.

What do you want?

-Should we stay or go?

-No.

-Wanna stay?

-Yes.

Listen, here's the deal.

You're going to f*** her.

Yes?

If you hurt her, I'll cut your throat,

you f***ing a**hole.

You'll f*** her and then we'll leave.

Are we clear?

Good.

-No, no!

-Hey!

I just said I would kill you.

Shall I repeat myself?

She'll take off your pants,

and you'll f*** her.

Yeah? Go, Celeste. Go.

It's flaccid.

Is it so difficult?

Don't you get it?

You brought her here.

You liked her and felt horny.

Go on.

Let me.

Now?

So, your girl's dating?

Something like that.

Hope it goes well.

I doubt it.

Why do you say that?

What's wrong?

I saw the last results

and they didn't look good.

I try to distract her,

take her to the movies.

I do what she likes,

I buy her things.

She will be fine!

On time.

And now she became a lesbian.

She has a partner.

She brought her home

and both live with me now.

I have to go, Nora.

I'm finally

getting somewhere with my son.

Daro.

Daro, can you answer that?

Hey!

Hello?

-Hey, what's wrong?

-Go, Mom, just go.

No, I'm not leaving.

Turns out this is my home too

so I'm not leaving.

What's wrong?

Are you sad?

You think your life's sad?

You know what's sad?

Ask Nora

whose daughter is sick.

And to top it all, she's a lesbian.

Guess who called.

Your psychologist.

Santiago.

He left a message. Nora heard it.

What did he say?

Look, from what I could gather,

looks like

he'll offer you a job as his secretary.

And Nora says he sounded very excited.

I am so happy, so happy.

It must be him.

Mom.

-I don't want to see him.

-Why not?

Something awful happened.

-When?

-Ma'am.

-Yes?

-It's the psychologist.

See him in.

-I don't want to see him!

-What?

-Mom, I said I don't want to.

-But, why?

Good afternoon. Come in, please.

-Excuse me.

-Of course.

Santiago!

How are you?

-How are you?

-How's everything?

Come in.

Something to drink?

-Coffee, please.

-Sure. Coffee for the doctor, Nora.

-Two coffees. One's for me.

-Ma'am, I have to leave already.

-Didn't you want to talk?

-Yes.

Well? Do it now that he's here.

Go make him a coffee.

Then we'll talk about your daughter.

Norita wanted to ask you something.

She's like family,

so you can settle things

with me later.

Right.

-There he is.

-Hey, Santiago.

-Thanks, Daro. How are you?

-Fine.

-I'm sorry this was unexpected.

-It's all right.

I don't know if...

I needed to talk to you.

Did you mother tell you?

Yes, I told him that Nora

heard the voice message.

Voice message?

It's fine. Mom, go.

It's fine, leave us.

Very well. Santiago, I'll go.

-See you. It was a pleasure.

-See you.

Well...

How are you doing?

I'm fine, fine.

I'm doing just swell. I'm fine.

You wanted to ask me something?

Yes, but I must go now.

All right, let's do this.

I'll give you my card then.

-All right.

-Call me

if you need anything.

Of course. I'll call you, doctor.

-I'll call.

-It's something personal, right?

This was between us.

-Nora, please go. Go.

-Yes, thank you.

-Excuse me.

-Yes.

What's up with your call

and some message?

Look, I was thinking

about our chat the other day,

when you showed interest

about working for me.

I think that could work.

Right now, I need an aide

and thought of you.

An aide?

Yes, do you have time?

What with college and all that.

I don't get why an aide, that's all.

Well, it's close

so you'll manage your schedule

and won't need to go far.

Besides,

I need you to lend me a hand

with some things...

Excuse me. I was just passing.

I didn't hear what you just said.

I was telling Daro that I needed an aide

for the office.

-That's odd.

-Why?

Because Nora said you wanted

a secretary, not an aide.

She most likely got confused,

because I don't need a secretary.

Right. Nora!

Come, please.

Yes, ma'am?

Tell me,

when you spoke to Santiago,

or when you heard his message,

did he say "secretary"

or "aide"?

I don't remember, ma'am.

You don't? Oh, well. Go, go.
