didn't work, nothing worked.

- You're nuts.

- Nuts?!

She isn't the slightest bit

interested in getting to know me...

- and I'm the crazy one?

- Listen.

- I hate being tested.

- No one was testing you.

No?! The worst thing was, I'd

failed before I even got there.

She thinks no woman

is good enough for you.

- That's nonsense.

- In her own image.

All right, if you must,

call your mother.

I'll call her right

now, if you want.

No, I'll handle mom.

The best thing for you is to go

home and sleep off that hangover.

I've always looked after myself.

Not very well,

by the looks of it.

What?

It's okay, a bit like

some residential hotel.

- But that's what it is, Julia.

- Well, then.

I was expecting some

comment, not that.

But it's nice, cozy.

Like it?

- No, forget that.

- It might be important.

Anything wrong, Maria?

Not much longer.

There's been a problem.

But does the dinner

have to be this week?

Look, we'll talk later.

Say hi to Lourdes.

Kisses.

Don't be childish, it's

not my fault she calls me.

And now you've been so rude...

she'll never call again, right?

I can't treat her badly.

I've no reason to.

Maybe I'm a good reason.

You're right.

- I'd forgotten what a fight was like.

- That wasn't a fight.

No?

Let me know

when it is, okay?

Don't you worry,

you'll be the first to know.

Will you spend the whole

day at that computer?

Want a hand?

Now he asks!

Forget it, your slave

has washed everything.

- What's up?

- Nothing.

- No, what's wrong, Pedro?

- Nothing.

- What's the problem?

- There is no problem.

- What are you getting at?

- You and Julia.

What about Julia?

Something has happened, and you

haven't the guts to tell me.

Julia is my son's mother.

Stop that! Don't use

Lucas as an excuse.

I don't need an excuse!

Look at me.

Tell me it's not true.

I don't know how

to lie to you.

- So what should I do?

- Why ask me?

You're the only

person I trust.

- Go back to her.

- Seriously, though.

I'm being serious.

Go back to her.

Just be careful you don't

fall flat on your face.

You can't pretend you didn't

live 3 years with another guy.

Look, do whatever

you think is right.

You've got to sort

it out alone.

And I mean that from the bottom

of my heart. I love you, man.

But don't think I'm going to

hang around waiting for you.

Oh, you again.

No, he isn't here.

Can't you understand, Carlos

doesn't want to talk to you!

- Who was that, mom?

- The nutcase.

- What did you do?

- The same as usual, got rid of her.

- You didn't ask me.

- What for, she's crazy!?

God, you're prejudiced...

you hardly even met her

and you already think she's crazy.

I saw quite enough. And l

didn't like the little I saw.

Julia's not crazy, she was always

like that, even back in college.

What do you mean, so you

used to know each other?

Julia was my first love...

I was too scared to ask her out,

and when I did, she stood me up.

And wounded your

masculine pride.

Now you're quits.

And you got rid of her.

Congratulations!

You don't switch off, mom!

Carlos Eduardo!

Mom!

My God, mom.

Listen here, Carlos Eduardo,

this time you've gone too far!

An orgy in our house?

Please cut the sermon, mom,

I'm nursing a hangover.

I thought you'd come to your

senses, that you'd changed.

Give me a break, mom.

You hated Julia,

so we broke up.

We're no longer going out,

isn't that what you wanted?

But I won't stop dating women,

if that's what you're thinking.

It's not that...

I just thought you were through

acting like a teenager.

Sure, and I thought I'd

found the woman of my life.

That nutcase must have

been a computer error.

Hey mom, you just

gave me a great idea.

What?

Of course, maybe she really

was a programming mistake.

Let me have a look at it.

- Let's go.

- What's up?

Maria. Bad luck.

Well, we would have run

into her anyway some day.

But I don't want to speak

to her, I can't talk to her.

All right, I will.

Julia!

Maria.

Julia.

We met at one of those

exhibitions, remember?

- How are you?

- Fine, and you?

I came to get some wine for a

dinner party at a friend's.

I wasn't even going,

I hate going out alone.

But with Carlos

I can never be sure.

I understand.

He's been away on business

a lot the last few months.

We hardly ever go out together.

When he gets home, he's too tired...

to go out.

Sorry, I really must go.

I'll tell Carlos

I ran into you.

Nice seeing you.

Bye.

Coward!

I couldn't tell the truth.

Not to you, nor to her. I didn't

want to hurt either of you.

So you want me

to thank you for it?!

No, I just want you

to try and understand.

I'm trying.

The truth is, I got more

involved than I should.

Where is it written how

much to love someone?

- What's it measured in?

- In honesty.

- Everything goes, except lies.

- So now what shall we do?

I need some time.

I need time to think.

Julia, I waited

Don't be so long this time.

Julia, I have

to tell you something.

- You're going back to Maria.

- It's the only way.

I love you,

but that's not enough.

It isn't?!

If you'd turned up that night,

you'd be the woman of my life.

But you didn't.

So Maria came into my life and

we became each other's hostage.

Maybe I'd have been happier

with you, maybe not.

The fact is, my life took

a direction of its own...

which is greater

than any of us.

What a conformist, how awful.

- It's not that bad.

- Or good.

It's what I achieved.

Maybe you should have tried

harder to make it different.

I did.

- You gave me that chance.

- But you're not giving me one.

I love you, Julia.

And I'll never forget you.

Is that all you've got to say?

Carlos?

- Hi, Maria.

- Have a good trip? You look tired.

I am a little tired.

Why don't you take a shower?

Later.

First there's something

I want to tell you.

- The trips are over.

- Really?

That's good.

I'll make something

special to eat.

Are you hungry?

Look, this whole business

about a soul-mate...

just isn't working.

I've no peace anymore.

How do you mean?

I never stop

thinking about her.

The symptoms

of a man in love.

I thought I'd get some peace

when I fell in love...

but it's exactly the opposite.

I've been so upset...

I'm even picking

fights with my mother.

I mean, please check it out,

you may find a mistake.

I'll check the data again.

All the data checks.

This here is your soul-mate.

Where?

She is our client number 1010.

You are number 1020.

- But that's not Julia!

- No? I am sorry.

Don't worry, making

mistakes is only human.

We all deserve

a second chance.

Just give me the

name and address...

so I can find her.

Impossible.

Some clients don't give real

names to maintain their privacy.

But I assure you that this

new localizer will work.

Are you sure I'll meet

my ideal woman this time?

See, you never believe

anything I tell you.

Why would I trust a

lunatic like you...

who believes in that

soul-mate's crap?

I've told you a million times,
