screwing 10 men a day in them.

She also told me to ask you

to leave the house before 8.

So that our son won't see you.

My darling.

Star without a candle.

Blood of my wounds.

Don't make me suffer anymore.

My darling.

A stray bullet...

...on Main Street.

Puddle in the slums.

I don't want you to go.

I don't want you to go away.

More and more each day.

My darling.

Star without a candle.

My darling.

Little puddle of cloudy water.

Soap bubble.

My last refuge.

My last hope.

Whore!

F*** you!

My darling.

Little puddle of cloudy water.

Soap bubble.

My last refuge.

My last hope.

I don't want you to go.

More and more each day.

My darling.

You want some?

Something good from the Caribbean?

I'll give you 20.

No, 30. Come on.

A**hole!

Hey, guys. Looking for company?

Hello?

Good.

No, I can't.

Because I can't.

I don't believe you.

Because I don't.

The guy's a piece of sh*t.

He doesn't have...

...any papers for you.

He just wants to f*** you...

...period.

He's taking them to the Cuesta.

Today?

At nine.

And you're going?

You said you'd go?

I don't know what to do.

He says they're valid

for 6 months.

Yeah, and he'll get you

an apartment.

He'll say anything.

Whatever you want to hear.

The guy's a pig.

He's out there fishing.

He's got ten others like you...

...who'll lose their sh*t for papers.

Yeah, I'll lose my sh*t.

You can't imagine what 6 months

would mean to me.

Don't go, all I'm saying

is don't go.

I'm the one getting

beaten, remember?

You can't let him beat you up

and then run back...

...for more when he calls.

What I can't do is stop going

out in the street.

Or go to see my son because

if I leave I can't get back in.

Your son needs a mother without

papers more than a dead one.

Don't tell me what my son needs.

You have no idea.

Zule!

No, how can you think that, Mom?

Everything's fine.

It's just that I thought about you.

Did you get the money I sent?

Did you get the money?

How's little Edward eating?

Is he eating well?

Don't give him sweets, Mom.

Anyway, Mom. You too, take care.

I'll call again soon.

Talk to you soon.

Bye.

How are you?

Water.

Another one.

Can I see them?

They've given me a lot of trouble.

You have no idea.

I needed a duplicate

with a signature...

And my friend in the registry...

...he's not here.

He took a few days off.

Can I see them?

Did anyone see you?

Are you meeting anyone later?

I want to see my papers.

They're not yours.

Remember that.

Show them to me.

Not here.

Someone can see me.

Let's go to my place. We have time.

When are you going out?

Show them to me

and I'll go with you.

Hello?

Okay.

Yes.

Where?

Okay.

Okay.

Let's go.

Where?

I'll tell you outside.

Do you want your papers?

How do I know

you're telling the truth?

You have no other choice.

- Come on.

- Let go of me.

Walk ahead of me.

I'll tell you what to do.

Let go.

Take it easy!

I said let go!

Sorry I'm late.

Hi.

Did he bring them?

Who are you?

Caye, nice to meet you.

And you are?

He says at his place.

Great. Let's go.

Where do you live?

Just you. That's the deal.

Well?

I'll go up. She can wait downstairs.

In the street?

Just you.

I'll go up alone

and you get half an hour.

- Half an hour in the street?

- An hour!

Well?

Well?

Hey!

Son of a b*tch.

The jerk treats me

like I stink or something.

If you'd left with him,

anything could've happened.

But I'm left wondering.

Wondering what?

The usual.

Whether he had them or not.

It's unhygienic.

Whatever they say.

And it damages your hair.

And you don't do them.

I know how.

I don't on principle.

I didn't say you don't know how,

I said you don't do them.

On principle.

The hairdresser's principle?

Hairdressers have principles?

Like you and everyone else.

You don't screw without a condom,

I don't do braids.

I don't out of common sense,

not principles.

Very bad. You should

do it out of principle.

What's the difference?

It's not the same.

You can not do something

for many reasons.

There's a big difference.

You look black. Who did these?

You're a traitor, Caye.

They're comfortable.

And I get twice as much work.

They don't look good on you.

I have to tell you that.

She has to tell you

that on principle.

Right. On principle.

Because it's my job.

You think principles

come free with condoms.

But either you have them or not.

Not like tits which you can get

if you don't have them.

I'm gonna charge

for touching my hair.

Let's give them a fright.

What are you doing?

It's my job. They're taking it away.

Is this the police?

Some black girls are fighting.

Providencia Street. In the square.

Africans. Look like whores to me.

She's faking it.

No, she's really calling.

A neighbor.

Three minutes. Thanks.

Thanks.

How can you be like that?

What about them?

I'm defending what's mine.

Hi, girls.

Can I use your bathroom?

It's still broken.

Just for a minute.

It's broken.

F***, Gloria, I won't mess it up!

Come to my place, if you want.

I'm heading that way.

Cool!

See you later.

To the right, Blanca.

30, my love.

In a hotel, 30.

Of course.

No, my love, 30.

You won't forget it.

You'll want to be my boyfriend.

Tell me, my love.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, ciao, my love.

Who's Zulema?

Are you Zulema?

Caye says come right away.

It's really important.

Come straight over.

She's on the corner.

Is something wrong?

That's all she told me to say.

What?

What's up?

What's up with you?

What's up with your friend?

I saw you talking to him.

I wanted to know if you were okay.

Are you okay?

Like always.

Come to my place?

We're going to her bathroom.

Gloria's is broken.

Lucky you weren't there.

F***, you're right.

If it wasn't for Caye,

they'd have busted you.

You knew, didn't you?

You knew and sent her.

Who?

They're the ones who called.

It was Angela. She's not working.

She says it's because of you.

The b*tches!

She wouldn't listen to me.

That's the way things are.

Maybe for you, not for me.

Try to understand.

Before she had a lot of work.

Why did you warn me then?

Don't I take away her work?

You're my friend.

So why didn't you come yourself?

You save her and she complains!

Unbelievable!

They should have taken her too.

And f***ed her up.

Do you have Chanel?

Perfume?

Can I try it?

Thank you.

Smells great.

It's number 5, right?

Can I try a little more?

You weren't here last month,

were you? A little more.

Thank you.

Can I see the bottle?

They make them so pretty now.

If life gives you...

...more than five reasons to go on.

If life gives you...

...more than five corners to sleep in.

If life gives you...

...more than five million to die...

...you strain yourself.

Night and day.

...you strain yourself.

Night and day.

If life gives you...

...more than five bastards

to put up with.

If life gives you...

...more than five lessons

to not go on...

...you strain yourself.

Night and day.

...you strain yourself.
