I will not visit that neighborhood...

And I don't consider it

a fitting place for a baby.

What do you mean?

That house isn't appropriate.

Nor the neighborhood.

Still, it's my child

and he'll live in my house.

Your child?

It's our child, too.

Actually, you're nothing of his.

With her it's another story.

Who'll raise him?

You?

You'll teach him to stab others?

We all want what's best

for the child.

Do we agree?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Now, we need to discuss the nursing.

What?

At the beginning,

the child will need to be nursed.

You want to keep the child?

-That's it?

-She got it now.

Nora, you knew about this?

-And you didn't tell us?

-Mom!

Listen to me, honey.

You love this child, right?

-Yes.

-What is it you love?

Tell me. What do you love?

What you love

is your desire to have a child!

You don't love a real child.

-Don't listen to her...

-Quiet! Don't be selfish.

So no father figure?

And what about no mother?

That's my role.

-No! What?

-No?

They want him.

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

-Wait, girls.

-Let's go, let's go.

-Girls!

-Girls, wait.

-No, no.

-Clause 25087 of the criminal code!

You'll be arrested.

Do you understand?

Come back and sit down.

Don't take him from us.

Please, don't take him.

Girls, this baby's not a trophy.

Of course not, it's our child.

Mom, they don't want

to give him up.

I don't understand.

What're you saying?

Let's find a way for all of us

to raise the child together.

Tell me something, Daro.

Do you care about this baby or not?

-Yes, I do.

-Then?

They care about him too.

I can't believe it.

As a mother,

how can't you understand?

-I can't believe it.

-I see.

What'd I get myself into?

What'd I get myself into?

Why do I even bother?

All of this doesn't matter to me.

Leave, girls. Keep the baby.

-What?

-Yes, keep him.

-Stop, Mom.

-Keep him, girls! Keep him.

Take him, too!

You're my burden, Daro.

You're a mother's worst nightmare!

You're the worst!

Go if that's what you want.

500 M UGARTE STREE -Hi, Nora!

-Hello, girls.

Celeste.

Celeste.

Come on, time to get up.

- Hey! What're you doing?

-Sorry!

Don't you know how to knock?

Whatever, let me in!

If you knock, you'll know

when someone's inside.

Hand me the watch.

I need to go.

Tell me, did you use my shampoo?

No.

-Nora!

-What?

-You used my shampoo?

-What?

You used my shampoo

in the orange bottle?

Whatever.

I'm going to mark it, just in case.

Morning! Morning! Morning!

Yes, yes, yes...

Hi.

Hi.

How are you?

How are you?

You like that?

You like paprika?

Yeah?

You know where I left Celeste's syrup?

It's in the fridge.

-You remember?

-Yes.

Yes.

Good morning.

Sit down.

Hi.

Hi!

Mom's going to work.

Who's staying with you?

Mom.

Hi.

Hi, chubby cheeks.

My little chubby boy.

I'm going.

-You coming for lunch?

-Yeah.

-When?

-In the afternoon.

-At what time?

-Dunno around 2 or 2:30...

By then, the food will be cold.

All right.

I'll go to the market.

Hi, hi, hi.

-You washed your hands?

-Yes, yes.

-With soap?

-Yes in the bathroom.

Okay. Here's Daddy.

Come here.

Come here.

-So?

-What?

What did you see?

A chubby one.

With puffy cheeks.

And his eyes were so, so dark.

Let's play again.

One.

Two.

Three.
