I can give you software.

Design, music...

whatever you want.

Great.

What do you do?

I'm a whore.

That's funny.

A whore.

Hilarious.

Zulema?

Yes?

Who is it?

Zulema?

She's not here.

Try again in the morning.

I pay half.

One shift, until eight.

I get it in the daytime.

It's called the warm bed

because it's never empty.

It's better than sharing a place.

That's half the time.

Some beds you only get for 8 hours...

...just to sleep in.

Are they nice?

They're from back home.

We hardly talk.

The less they know the better.

They might know someone back home...

...and gossip.

Do you like them?

Guys like them big, right?

Since her operation,

Angela's working a lot more.

There can be a psychological

reaction. Rejection.

Self-rejection.

Your body says no...

...so you have to get them removed.

How does Manuel like them?

I don't know. I'll ask him.

You might scare him.

He's already scared.

He's a bit weird.

Always talking about computers.

I think I scare him.

But I like him, he's very funny.

You told him?

I told him...

...but he didn't believe me.

But you told him.

If I told him...

...that I was a cashier or whatever,

he'd believe me.

And you know what

really pisses me off?

They can't pick you up

after work.

I'd really love that.

I'd work in an office

doing whatever, I don't care...

...but I want to be picked up

after work.

Can you imagine?

See him there waiting,

from the window.

And he's really hot and

the other girls are green with envy.

Just think.

Just saying it is amazing.

"Pick me up. "

That's what love is, right?

Being picked up after work.

The rest is bullshit.

Forget flowers and rings.

They can stick that up their ass.

I just want to be picked up

after work.

Is it the same in your country?

Have you ever

been picked up after work?

A few times.

How lucky.

Do you eat chicken there as well?

Chicken, rice, corn...

But we don't eat that much.

The heat?

No, the government.

Do you have cinemas

and shopping malls?

Mother, please.

What?

She's from Santo Domingo, not Mars.

For me, Santo Domingo

and Mars are the same.

How long does it take

to get there?

Ten hours by plane.

That's not so far.

I thought it would be farther.

Who wants dessert?

I'll help you, Pilar.

Do you miss it?

Mostly my son.

It might be someone from across...

...because I get them

only when I'm home.

She gets flowers

from a secret admirer.

How lucky.

It's not your father.

He would write something.

Maybe he's in Santo Domingo.

Is your father away?

As away as can be.

He's been buried for 3 years.

She can't accept it.

She misses him.

She's lonely, Carlos.

- Being lonely sucks.

- And she misses him.

But they were constantly

at each other's throats.

They weren't.

Are you like her now?

You make up whatever you don't like.

But they weren't. You just

choose to remember it that way.

I remember it the way

it really was.

You left home.

You don't know what it was like.

It's like the flowers,

or am I making that up too?

She sends them to herself.

She orders them from the florist's.

Really?

And she writes the cards.

In capitals so we won't realize.

And they're playing along.

They told us to

at the senior center.

Whatever, Carlos, but it scares me.

It's a fantasy.

Sending flowers every 3 days.

180 euros of fantasy a month.

What does she write?

On the cards.

What does she write to herself?

Do you like sweets, Zulema?

A lot.

You don't answer either?

Why do you even bother

buying cell phones?

I was telling Pilar

we need a lecturer.

What's the seminar about?

Sex education.

I know a lot about that.

I've done it a lot. Back home.

Seriously?

Sex education?

I'm an expert.

How much does it pay?

They're hypnotized.

I can do your makeup later.

I took a state course...

...in makeup for movies.

And another in catwalk modeling

but I couldn't keep my balance.

How's your balance?

Fine.

Mine's really bad.

As a kid, I was always falling.

One day I fell seven times.

My mother'd fill my pockets

with sand to make me heavier...

...so I wouldn't fall over.

So yeah, I couldn't do the catwalk.

That's why I love tightrope walkers.

I should marry one

to make up for it.

Are there any in your country?

Ten million of them.

Like princesses.

They're so sensitive

they can feel the earth rotating.

That's why they're dizzy

all the time.

Didn't you know?

They say they're so sensitive...

...they get sick

away from their kingdoms.

And they can even die of sadness.

All set.

Can I look?

Do you like it?

Do you think Manuel will like it?

He's no tightrope walker

but I like him a lot.

Maybe he's the one.

Can you imagine?

The man of my life.

I'd love to be

the woman of his life.

Even for just one day.

I want to ask you a favor, Zule.

It's really important to me.

Smell.

Perfume.

It was in the bathroom.

Adobe Premiere 5.1.

It just came out.

And an Office upgrade.

I thought it was music.

It looks better on Zule.

She has bigger tits than me.

Guys like big tits, right?

Mine are pretty small.

They're normal.

Shall I get them done?

I'm saving up for implants.

How big do you like them?

Tell me.

I'll get the size you like.

The size of your hands.

So they'll fit nicely inside.

It's yours.

Would you like dessert?

Tonight I'm your dessert.

What's your other name?

You said you had two.

I can't tell you.

Why not?

It's my secret identity.

No one can know it.

Like Superman?

Something like that.

Are you a superhero?

A superheroine.

Which one?

It's dangerous.

No one can know...

...because they could hurt us.

You too.

I'm protecting you.

Thank you.

It's my job.

Do you change in phone booths,

like Superman?

Sometimes.

Do you have superpowers?

Can you fly?

Even better.

I can make you fly.

Manuel.

Would you pick me up?

Where?

After work.

Of course. Where?

Anywhere. Doesn't matter.

Would you?

Of course. What's wrong?

Nothing. Not anymore.

Don't wait for me.

What are you doing?

Is that guy paying you well?

Hey, I'm with someone.

Come party with us.

I'll pay you well.

Let go of me!

You got the wrong person.

100 euros to suck me off.

No, please, no.

Just a blowj*b.

Not tonight, please.

Not tonight.

Then jerk me off.

Please.

Use your hand, like that.

I'll come real fast. I swear.

120. 120. Here.

- Not tonight, please.

-200 and I'll come real fast.

- No, please.

- I'll come real fast, I swear.

Come on, use your hand.

Use your hand, that's it.

Use your hand.

Like that. Squeeze it.

Suck my dick.

That's it.

I know everything.

You didn't go to the bathroom.

You went to save the world.

To stop a train from derailing.

You went, saved everyone,

and came back.

Am I right?

Are you okay?

Get the check, please.

I'm on my way out.

No hurry.

Stay there.

Excuse me.

My wife wants me to ask you

to please change the sheets...

...after sleeping in them.

Why doesn't she do it?

Because she's not the one who's
