isn't it?

Well,

it's a shooting star.

Balls!

"Don't answer!" calling

"Don't answer!" calling

"Reject"

Did you tell her I'd be here?

No, I just arranged to meet her,

but I think she'll notice.

Ssh, act normal.

- It was a good game, wasn't it?

- Yeah, that goal...

Why are you here?

Hey, what a coincidence!

I just met Rubn in the street

and we came in for a drink.

Want one?

I'll leave you two alone.

So, how are things?

How are you?

"Don't answer!" calling.

So...

What do you want?

What do I want?

- We had to talk about us.

- About "us"?

I asked you for some time and...

What do you mean?

You finished with me.

No, I asked for time.

That's what people say

when they want to finish.

No one says "We're finished".

They say they need time.

Well, I meant it when I said it.

Like when you said

you were leaving me

because you liked me too much.

I said that?

Or when you asked me

never to change,

I was the best thing ever,

but you were feeling strange

and you had to think things out.

Yes, I said all that,

but let's stop talking

about the past, eh?

Well, then?

Baby!

You like Claudia.

No.

She isn't my type.

And I am?

It's all right, baby.

Let's go out this weekend, OK?

We'll see.

Sorry.

"Don't answer!" calling

Why all the calls and...

What?

She was driving a scooter,

very fast and without a license.

- Are you her boyfriend?

- Yes.

No, not exactly.

We live together

but we're not...

Excuse me.

He's her friend.

My client is a friend

of the young lady.

Who are you?

His lawyer.

I'm studying Law.

I'm in my fifth year.

Listen, your honor...

Captain.

Excuse me, that's right.

Captain...

Chema is my friend, this young lady

isn't his girlfriend

but she's got him into

a very complicated situation.

What are you saying, Rubn?

Carry on.

Well, your honor,

he's crazy about her but...

That's irrelevant.

And for her he's just a friend?

Exactly.

It's happened to all of us.

I'm sure you...

I'm sorry, I'm sure you haven't...

Well, his problems are over.

- She was working illegally.

- Sh*t, I knew it! Hang on.

- What is it?

- My notes.

It's "International Law III".

I failed that.

Don't worry.

It's easy to understand.

She's being deported in 48 hours.

- It's the best thing for you.

- Don't exaggerate.

Hadn't you given her up?

What about Elisa?

But I don't want her

to be sent back to Argentina.

She's leaving in two days.

There's no way out.

There must be something.

If her guy were Spanish

he could marry her,

but the astronomer

is Argentinean too.

Wait.

If he were Spanish,

she could stay?

No, stop, stop.

Don't even think about it!

Anyway, you'd never find a court,

a church or registry office

that'd marry you in 48 hours.

So where would you do it?

INTERNATIONAL WATERS

Come on, do it for me.

I bet it won't even fit me.

You never see this cloth nowadays.

It cost me 40,000 pesetas back then.

It was bought so that a girl's

best friend could be her husband.

But I won't be her husband.

You're going to kiss her.

You'll finally kiss her.

Or what'll you do when they say:

"You may kiss the bride"?

Shake her hand?

...to unite Claudia and Jose Mara

in matrimony.

Claudia, do you take Chema

as your lawful husband?

I do.

Do you, Chema, take Claudia

as your lawful wife?

I do.

Then by the power vested in me

I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Are you OK?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I guess

this wasn't your dream wedding.

What matters is I can stay.

I'll really miss you.

Sebastian wants me to go

to Madrid with him.

But will you give me a hug?

I stink.

When you met me,

I was the one who stank.

"You f***ing stink!

Sh*t, man, it's disgusting!"

Are you OK?

Yes.

Here in your suit that I wore

because you wanted me to.

I'm OK.

Look, one thing I hate doing

is giving advice...

If you hate it so much,

don't give it!

I understand you're upset.

Your uncle Jaime is here to...

To hell with uncle Jaime.

You are not my uncle!

Waken up, my mother isn't

interested in you, you idiot!

You're a sap with a camera shop

that's a mess!

And those f***ing rolls of film!

It's time for the surprise.

The crew and I prepared this.

The wedding was special for us too.

- Enjoy it.

- Thank you!

Shall we join the others?

You have to stay here.

There's a storm ahead.

ONE YEAR LATER:

- Good morning.

- Hi.

Happy birthday, darling.

When you leave work

come straight home.

You might have a surprise.

OK.

- Thank you.

- Goodbye.

Hello, uncle Jaime.

I'm not your uncle.

What do you want?

I wanted to invite you

for my birthday.

Forget it, I'm busy,

I've got customers now.

Hello, I've brought a photo.

I'd like you to print it

on a tee shirt.

Yes, of course.

Since when do you sell

digital cameras?

Since a kid told me

my store was a mess.

Call by and...

Mom would be delighted.

You haven't seen each other in ages.

No problem, ma'am.

Chema!

I'll give you some advice.

You were better with highlights.

Surprise!

Where's your mother?

Elisa, did you tell my mother?

Yes, but she had to find someone

to stay with Miss Begoa.

Have you told him

about his promotion?

I was going to tell him after.

We're all delighted with him.

You're running out of excuses

not to...

Not to what?

Take the big step.

We all fall in the end.

Dad, don't start.

That'll be my mother.

Baby!

Happy birthday, love.

Just as well Claudia brought

another bottle of wine.

But we're all happy,

that's what matters.

Weren't you in Madrid?

I wanted some time away

from Sebastian,

and as it was Chemita's birthday,

I said:

"Come on, man, this is sh*t hot.

What a f***ing blast!"

Gloria, we were talking

about the kids' wedding.

Of course.

Are they getting married?

That's great!

But first Chema and I should...

Sorry, Claudia.

That left a stain, didn't it?

I'll clean it for you.

It's an Argentinean custom

to throw food, a cultural thing.

- What's wrong?

- You were going to tell them!

- Don't they know we got married?

- No, of course they don't!

- We'll explain it to them.

- You're crazy.

They're going to find out anyway.

Why the hell are you here?

If we explain it properly,

they'll understand.

How can they?

They'll be proud

of how you helped me.

And they're obviously reasonable

people, they'll understand.

I'll go down and thump him again!

Elisa, let me explain.

- Leave me alone!

- I'll destroy that f***ing bastard!

There was nothing

between Claudia and me.

Tell him he's never to come back

to the office! I'll kill him!

But are you happy?

Your son's made me

f***ing happy, ma'am!

My things are up there.

What?

I left my case up there,

but I'll talk to them.

What the hell do you want?

I'm sorry, but Claudia

left her case upstairs.

Don't worry, I'll bring it down.

Couldn't you call anyone else?

I'm really sorry.

Thanks a lot.

Don't tell your mother

I did you this favor.

I'll give them back tomorrow.

There's no hurry.
