and the address of my hotel.

Bye. Thanks.

I'll go to see the girl the day

after tomorrow.

Alright.

Toto, take Chino

a beer over there.

Turco, somebody

wants to see you.

Hello, how are you? I thought you'd

call before coming.

I see you got a job. A car

and everything, well done, pal.

A beer, nice and cold.

- How is your family doing?

- They are fine.

That's important.

What about the money?

I told you it's not easy

to gather four grand.

I want my money, Turco.

- Cheers, boys.

- Cheers, Turco.

It's sad being in prison,

not seeing your family.

You just got out, the cops come

every night to play pool.

Let's not get carried

away for four lousy grand.

You think I want to

screw you, Bear.

I'm hard up for money.

I have something big coming up.

We are not talking four grand.

It's more like five grand.

And there's no risk for you.

You and your car.

I guess you don't plan on being

a driver the rest of your life.

I don't think so, Oso.

If you plan to support

your family with 600...

unless your wife

has another guy.

As soon as this falls through

I'll give you your money.

Send my love to your family,

I know they live in San Justo.

Be careful, that

district sucks...

there are always shootings there,

like in the far west.

- Cheers, boys.

- Cheers, Turco.

- Who is it?

- Alicia?

- Who is it?

- It's me.

- Hello.

- Mum's not back yet.

I know, she said she'd

be here at midday.

Yes, but she's not back.

She told me not

to let anyone in.

Besides, how do I know

you are my father?

See?

This is you,

your mum, and me.

Mum told me I shouldn't

let strangers in.

But she said nothing

about you. Come in.

Take a seat.

Thanks.

You have a lot of homework?

- Is that difficult?

- More or less.

Did it hurt when they did

that on your arm?

No.

That comes off with water?

It doesn't come off

with anything. Never.

My mum and Sergio

also had a car...

but they had to sell it

because he lost his job.

What are you doing here, Rubn?

What are you doing here?

I let him in because

it was raining.

You could have

waited in the car.

You know I don't live alone.

Go before Sergio arrives, please!

I'm leaving. I came to see Alicia...

I brought you this.

- What is it?

- A story book, so you can read.

- Does it have pictures?

- Yes, it has pictures.

I thought I'd take

her out for pizza.

Put your boots on,

it's raining.

- Do you want to join us?

- No, I've got things to do.

No, wait.

Thanks.

Why did you repeat grades?

Because I didn't

like the teacher.

The one I have this year is

much better. She's called Araceli.

On Monday we are having

an act for May 25th.

She told me I'll be

escorting the flag.

- Do you have a girlfriend?

- No, I don't have a girlfriend.

Is it true that you killed

a policeman?

No.

I couldn't do something

like that. That's wrong.

- You are going back to jail?

- No.

Never again?

Never again.

- What are you doing?

- A game a friend taught me.

- Sergio says it can't be done.

- How is it?

You have to place this one

between the other two.

You can touch this one

but you can't move it.

You can move this one,

but you can't touch it.

Let's see...

I can touch this one,

but can't move it.

I can move this one,

but can't touch it.

Yes? I can do as I

please with this one?

"So the snakes organized a party

and invited frogs and toads...

flamingos and crocodiles...

and fish.

As fish can't walk... "

Alicia! It's too late

for you to be reading.

You must go to sleep,

you get up early.

I'm not sleepy.

Never mind, you go

to bed and you sleep.

You told me if I didn't read

I would repeat grades again.

Not at this time. You don't read

at night, you read during the day.

Let's see.

Where were you?

Here, where it says:

"I know what we'll do. "

I'll read till

you fall asleep...

and then tomorrow you

continue reading, OK?

"I know what we'll do,

said a flamingo.

Let's wear red

and black socks...

and coral snakes will

fall in love with us.

My in-law, the owl,

has that kind of socks...

said the tat, who wanted to

give flamingos a hard time.

By all means, said the owl

and returned with the socks,

but they weren't really socks

but coral snake skins.

Beautiful skins just ripped from

the snakes which the owl had hunted.

Don't you worry about a thing,

said the owl...

Just keep one thing in mind.

You must dance all night long.

Dance without ever stopping,

because if you stop...

instead of dancing

you'll be crying.

The flamingos,

thrilled and happy...

put the skins on as socks

and merrily flew to the party.

When they saw the flamingos

with the beautiful socks...

everybody was envious of them.

The snakes would only

want to dance with them.

And as the flamingos never

stopped moving their legs...

they couldn't see what

the beautiful socks were made of. "

It was about time.

- How is it going?

- Fine.

Let's see...

Catch you later.

I'm not stupid,

I read the newspaper.

Yesterday Carilinda won.

I'm not asking you

to give me credit.

Alright, but Quique told me

to put it on your tab.

My tab?

Yes, to take it from

what you owe us.

Miguel... you can't

do this to me.

Go talk to Quique,

he's sitting there.

Coffee. And croissants.

I tell you what... put it on my tab

and I'll bet on other horses.

Bets are cash only.

- What?

- You can't bet on credit.

What's going on?

What is it?

Miguel says I can't bet.

Of course you can, what

you don't have is credit.

You owe too much. It doesn't look

like you are going to pay.

You know what? You must get

a job, nice and quiet.

Then you come here and pay.

I'm in no hurry.

It's 8AM, you are the only

one who comes to bet at this hour.

You can't cut me off.

Give me something,

you know I'm looking for a job...

I have a family, the girl.

And I'm your number one client here.

You could treat me better.

You, number one client? With clients

like you I'd be broke.

You owe me too much money,

it's over one grand.

- Beat it.

- What?

Next time around, bring money.

- You f***ed up.

- What?

You f***ed up.

None of your

business, motherf***er!

Why, "motherf***er"?

If my daughter gets in trouble

because of you, I'll kill you.

Alright?

Why should you tell me this?

I'm not interfering with you,

your daughter, your seeing her.

- What is it?

- You are such a nice guy.

I want no trouble. If you are upset

because you just left prison...

I don't want to keep you

away from your daughter.

Your daughter might be with me,

but she's your daughter.

What is it, a**hole,

you are a psychologist now?

If you are going to f*** up,

better beat it! Beat it!

Alicia!

Do you want to ride

the merry-go-round?

Alright.

Let's go.

Now yes.

That girl is alone...

...well, that's her dad... but

he has just come out of jail.

- Who did you come with?

- My daughter.

Who is your daughter?

She is my daughter.

Here... I don't want to see you

again. Do I make myself clear?

- Hi.

- Hello.
