Susana Page #2

---

As you wish, but we don't know

who she is orwhere she came from.

I feel so sorry for her.

I feel sorry for many people,

but there are places forthem.

Susana!

Yes, sir.

You seem recovered and calm.

I think it's time to think about

what we should do with you.

I have no one in this world, sir.

Maybe we should take you

to a trade school...

- or an institution were you...

- Why do you want me to leave?

I haven't done anything and I just

want to stay here...

where life is good.

Let her stay, Guadalupe.

She's gone through a lot, she wants

to work and I think she likes me.

To me you're more than the mother

I never knew, madam.

See? Let her stay, Guadalupe.

I could use the help.

That's up to you.

She can stay if you want.

How can I thank you, sir?

You have a powerful godmother.

Thank her.

Thank you, madam.

Go on, go do your chores.

Thank you for your help,

Mr. Guadalupe.

You're very kind.

And you're beautiful.

What's the matterwith you today?

Why are you kissing me that way?

It's so hot!

Man, look at this one.

- What a beauty!

- I'll call the boss, you scumbag.

Leave her alone!

How about saying

good morning, Susana?

- Like decent people.

- Good morning, Jesus.

I don't know what you did,

but the sun came out.

Can I help you?

Just let me know.

I don't think so.

I'm going to get some eggs.

Unless you can help the hens.

Those are not the hens I like.

Really? Well, be careful with the ones

that already have roosters.

You're very smart, blondie.

We always tell the truth

at the ranch.

There's a lot to see

around here.

I know the scenery well.

And where will you take me?

You? All the way to heaven.

- That easy?

- No, beautiful, that hard.

Are you afraid of me?

Afraid? I don't even know you.

But I'd rather have a choice.

And you think I don't know?

Ask the ladies,

you'll see they pick me.

And what do you tell them?

Look, beautiful. I'm brave

and I get things done.

Let me know when you're ready.

I'll think about it.

I don't like to make mistakes.

Think quickly. Who knows, this

saint might go to heaven and...

May I go down, Don Juan?

I'll get you down. Come.

Let go of me.

See what you've done?

All ruined!

You're so beautiful

when you're mad.

The wind blows

and the crop blossoms.

You want me to scream?

Don't ruin such a beautiful voice.

What if your voice get hoarse?

There, I'll forgive you.

You're so brave.

Now I'll get scolded

because of you.

Look, if you get tough, no one

will scold you but me.

I'll decide who gets

to scold me.

See what you've done?

Now you know.

If you want to take a walk

on the farm, let me know.

Well, pull up a chair because

you'll get tired of waiting.

Hey, beautiful,

can I carry your basket?

How did it go with the hens?

Jerks!

Looks like you showed her.

That one is tougher

than our mare.

I know a rancherwho died

for even less.

It was all in good fun

to see what would happen.

Well, now you know.

- Okay.

- Let's get to work.

Yes, sir.

Good morning, Susana.

Good morning, Alberto.

You're in better health

and look very pretty.

- You're making fun of me.

- I'm being honest.

Were you also honest

with the nice city girls?

I'm not a pro,

I say what's in my heart.

If only I could believe you.

No one has ever said

anything nice to me. Ever.

You must have lived

in a world of blind people.

You're like the weeds

in the field.

Nobody knows when or how they

grow until they pay attention.

Then, you like the countryside?

I'll tell your mother.

You want to tell me something?

Alberto was telling me how much

he loves the farm...

and was asking about

the clean clothes.

Felisa takes care of that.

Ask her.

Right away, madam.

Listen, friend. Is the Las Palmas

Hacienda far from here?

I'm from there, sir.

Three miles away, at the most.

Great, so you can help me.

I will if I can.

That's right. We're looking for a girl

that ran away...

from the reformatory

two days ago.

We believe she's around and I need

to know if you've seen her.

She's young, about 20 years old

and she's...

If you know what I mean.

There are a few women there that

should be institutionalized,

but there are no strangers.

Here you'll find the address and phone

number ofthe reformatory.

Call us if you know something.

- I'll inform the boss.

- Thank you.

Let's go.

Maybe I should continue cleaning

later, sir. I'm in yourway.

Not at all. Go on.

Yes, sir.

It's best you take care of...

Of what, sir?

Your clothes. I don't like

the way you dress.

I was given these clothes here, sir.

Do I look that bad?

It's just for work.

Fine, that's not what I mean.

I know it's not pretty but...

I'm just telling you to cover

up more.

There are many men here,

and men are like untamed colts.

You never know how

they'll react.

That's my life, sir.

When I try to do things right,

I do something wnong.

Whateveryou say.

You didn't do anything wrong.

It's not yourfault, I just wanted

to tell you to pay more attention.

Go on, my wife will

explain it better.

Excuse-me, sir.

- With your permission, sir.

- Come in, Jesus.

I wanted to tell you

something that...

Well, then, go ahead.

Don't tell me there are more

news in town?

- It's just that...

- What?

I'm listening, but you're not talking.

What is it?

Nothing. Everyone in town

is worried about the mare,

since she's Arabian, you know...

That's how they are.

And the seeds arrive tomorrow.

That's it.

- All right.

- Excuse-me.

Listen, I wanted to tell

you something.

The guys are very pushy here,

and I wouldn't like it...

ifthey took advantage of Susana.

The girl seems good and innocent

and I don't want anyone...

messing with her.

You know what I mean.

I'll put you in charge of that.

All right, boss.

I'll handle that.

Guadalupe, Mr. Severiano

is waiting foryou.

When did he arrive?

He's been with the mare

for a while.

He believes he can save her

and he wants to see you.

I'll be right there.

Before I forget,

I wanted to talk to you

about that girl, Susana.

She's young and I don't think

she realizes she's a woman...

and she dresses in a flashy way.

You know it's betterto avoid that

out here.

And you noticed that?

You're only interested in horses.

We dressed her up in a hurry,

that's true.

I'll take care ofthat.

I mentioned it to her, but you

bettertalk to hertoo.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

Does it fit?

You tell me.

How could it not,

after all I've worked on it.

Is that if for now, madam?

Yes, I think so.

Now, could you drop these clothes

off in my son's room?

Yes, madam.

Oh, dear. That one won't even

look decent in a nun's habit.

Felisa, you're so negative.

I'll be quiet, but I know

what I'm saying.

She never did anything to you.

You don't like her and that's not

a Christian attitude.

She's not Christian.

Just look at her.

Don't say that, Felisa.

She's humble and obedient.

The quiet ones are the worst.

Do good unto others

as the priest says.
