TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

It's closed.

I called a while ago, about the job,

I talked to a man

Oh, yes, you must be

the Colombian... Come in.

you didn't lied to my husband right?

We don't want girls

with bad habits, junkies,

or even worse, with some disease

No. I'm very healthy.

I have a degree in Pharmacology

and work experience.

I'm up here, follow me.

What are you doing?

Come here

Get closer

Credit in your account is 30 pesos.

Damn it, Anita! Pick up the phone

Hello

Hey

Hey, Marga. Why are you calling so early?

Do you know what time is it?

Sh*t! It's noon.

Have you met with the realtor?

No, not yet. I'm here waiting

and he hasn't arrived.

In half an hour I have to be

in the office, damn it

And I haven't had breakfast.

Are you sure he is not around?

It's weird because the guy

was very interested.

He said he was looking

for apartments located

in that area, because they

are so well listed and such ...

Yeah, well I will charge him extra,

he's wasting my time

Come on, don't exaggerate ...

Ana, you might have twenty-four

hours spare every day

But others have responsibilities

and obligations

Here we go again...

I am your sister.

I worry about you, damn.

Besides both own this floor.

I don't know why aren't you here

I don't know why aren't you here to show it

Because I'm not good at it!

You always say so.

Oh, you hear what I say...

Of course I do.

I come here every year with you!

You come here for me? That's funny

Hey, you went to Bolivia because of me?

For heaven's sake,

will you ever leave me alone?

Do you always have to repeat

the same stuff?

Hallucinogen cactus Ana?

You make me hallucinate!

Sis, you bring it up everytime we discuss. It's

water under the bridge!

You like to remove the sh*t...

Well, is the man there?

Is he coming or not?

two weeks ago.

And don't change the subject.

sh*t...

What's up? you saw him?

no

What if he is inside?

Inside? How come?

Well, he could have gone

through the door and entered.

Great, considering that I don't know him what

am I suppouse to do?

wait here and ask everybody around me?

I think it would be easier

if you go to the apartment

and expect him there

Hey, smarty pants,

I know how to tie my shoes

...for longer than you, you hear me?

Yes... You are the boss

and I'm just the helpless

child that would be in an

orphanage without you.

Close but no cigar... Anyway, I have to go

Ok, see you later

Bye

What am I doing wrong with this girl?

Sorry ... Were you looking for me?

Are you from the real estate agency?

You came to see the apartment?

Yes... I am from the agency.

I was waiting for you

Well, that's nice... I've been waiting for you

outside for forty minutes

Forty minutes?

Yes

Please forgive me

Sure. I guess you passed by and didn't see me.

How long have you been here?

Mmmm... a while ago. I was wondering what

could have happened.

I was afraid that something

bad happened to you

Well, that's great.

To be honest, if I in my work...

...where I have very important clients,

those who have credit cards

that shine until you get blind...

If I keep them waiting for forty minutes

I get fired, since they are

paying and feeding me

When I work, I am a slave.

And only money can set me free.

''Money brings honour, friends,

conquest, and realms.''

That's Milton, Paradise Regained.

I recommend it.

And it means that, if I have to wait

for you every month for forty minutes

to get my pay-check, we won't get along. Do

you understand?

Yes. You are absolutely right.

Okay... Margarita Sanchez.

Jorge. Jorge Kepler at your service.

Let's do business.

Well, this is it

How nice!

Nice is not accurate, I would say grim,

maybe pathetic, out of fashion definitely

But there are people

that think this is paradise

obviously they come from uglier places...

No offense, but ...

Yes, the neighborhood doesn't

really have a good reputation...

Tell me about it... Although, Is there any decent

neighborhood in this city?

Do you live here in Buenos Aires?

No, of course not. I come two

months every year for work

Luckily, I'm going back

in a couple of weeks.

But my sister already told that to...

I don't know who she spoke to, there are many

people working in the office.

We inherited this apartment

eight years ago

We thought the country

would come out of it's crisis

But you guys won't come out of the hole...

The politicians you have won't help either

Bathroom and kitchen are here.

Do you want to see them?

No, this is perfect for me.

Oh really? Well great, if you want, when we set

the details you can check the rest

Yes, I wanted to talk to

you about the details

It would be better for me if we could

assemble all the paperwork now.

Now? No way. We have to review contracts,

payrolls and...

I have another meeting in twenty minutes

That's so bad!

It's just that we have a client

...who is very interested in renting a property in

this area.

He was looking for something

with these features and well...

He's in a hurry

Sorry, it won't be possible.

Such a pitty... this person wanted

to pay four times the price

is commonly paid in this area

Four times? That is like ...

Ten thousand pesos

two thousand euros a month...

Not bad, but there's people waiting for me

Yeah... he even wanted to pay

the full year in advance.

We also decided to forget

about the agency fee

You'll se, he's a client

with those shiny credit cards

Just like you said...

But, if you can't do it...

It Would be twenty thousand in advance...

For this place?

No, nearly twenty five thousand.

The client is in a hurry...

and you know, in this business

rush is expensive.

And how soon will you have

the papers ready?

Within an hour.

Great, let's do it...

Are you sure? These are great news!

But... I must tell you something...

I ran out of minutes on my cellphone.

I should call my boss

...so she can begin

to prepare the contracts...

...and call the client so

he can come to see the flat.

Well, I'm sure there is no problem

if we go to the agency...

We work on the contracts and

then you arrange an appointment

...with your client for some other time

That would be done in a normal case.

But now it would be a waste of time

We can't make a contract between

us if the client doesn't...

You have one hour

It is a mere formality ...

Yeah...

Well, that's nice...

I don't know...

May I help you?

No, no. I'll be back in a moment

Perfect! and he has my cellphone...

Is anyone there?

Hey slut... hey!

Did you see the sun?

I asked you if you saw the sun

What?

The least you can do is answer,

you f***ing whore...

Did you see the sun?

Everything is going to blow into pieces

Everything will blow in your f***ing Spaniard

face!

Lady! Lady, calm down!

Okay, okay

She's crazy! She's crazy! This woman is crazy...

She wanted to kill me...

You bastard, tell them how you were calling me.

Come on... tell them!

I'm sick of this scumbags blaming society for
