Talk to Her
TALK TO HER:
The stage is full of wooden
chairs and tables.
Two women come out with robes.
Their eyes are closed.
Like two sleepwalkers.
You get scared...They trip
on everything, poor them.
But suddenly, a man appears.
With a very sad face, the
saddest I have ever seen.
He pushes tables and chairs
out of their way.
You can't imagine how touching
it was.
Someone was sitting next to me.
In his 40s, hundsome.
He cried with emotion,
lots of times.
I don't understand why...
It was very beautiful!
I have a surprise for you!
I have an autograph of
Rina Baus for you.
I had to buy the photo.
It is in english and says:
I hope you surpass all
the obstacles...
... and start dancing.
-She has her period.
-It's early.
Good evening.
Benigno, can you
stay tonight?
My sister can't,
and I don't have anyone else.
Why did you come?
You should have called.
I am not taking advantage of you.
This week you did 3 nights.
Don't worry. A free afternoon
is enough for me.
I have to see the house
workers. It's a mess.
And to frame a photo.
My condition is not improving.
The hospital will decide.
Your husband left you
and the children.
Just come the nights you can.
We will be ok.
Thanks a lot.
-You cut off the intestinal food.
-She couldn't take it.
-We will try again tomorrow.
-Yes, go now.
And keep the spirits up!
Six bulls and a woman.
Wednesday at Briuega.
Lydia P Gonzales will
fight six bulls.
Why such a drastic decision?
It's my job. 2 bulls, or 6.
Whatever they say.
People say a lot of bullfighters
won't fight with you...
...because you are a woman.
People can say what they want.
Too much chauvinism in bullfighting,
but there are exceptions.
Nino Valencia was happy to share
billing with you for several months.
Do you think he did it
to promote himself?
And when he succeeded that,
he abandoned you?
I told you, I don't want
to talk about this!
But by talking about
certain problems...
...is the first step
towards their solution.
-Nino Valencia...
-Enough!
My dear Lydia, let me
finish the question.
I am not discussing this.
I told you earlier.
You didn't say anything earlier!
It's bad what you are saying!
They will think
it's a fixed interview.
And I am on of the few who
dare say the truth...
...and you should dare accept
...that Nino Valencia
took advantage of you.
He shared with you not only
the fame, but sex as well.
And he left you when
time was right.
Juan Luis, Marco here...
How are you?
I want to ask you something.
I would like to do an article
about Lydia Gonzales.
Yes, I see it too...
I would like to do something
deep.
For the Sunday issue?
Great...
-The woman has gone crazy!
-She dedicates it to you.
She would let the bull injur
her, just so that you see it.
You shouldn't have come,
especially you.
Don't tell me anything.
I know what I am doing.
Nino should concentrate.
He doesn't want any more worries.
Nothing to worry about. He should
just come to pick up his stuff.
-Or tell me where to send them.
-Send them at my place.
He, himself, should say so.
This is nothing to do with you.
You can leave whenever you want.
-Good evening.
-Scotch on the rocks, please.
-What glass do you prefer?
-A tall one.
Can I talk to you for
a minute, please?
Forget it. When something is
over, it's over.
-What are you saying?
-Can I talk to you?
If you take me to Madrid,
we can talk on the way.
It will be my pleasure.
-Who named you Lydia;
-My father.
It's as if he sealed your destiny.
He always wanted to be a bullfighter,
but stayed a banderillero.
He is the one that was there
for me, more than anyone else.
But he died last year.
I am sorry.
'El Pais' wants me to do a profile
on you for their Sunday issue.
Do you write on bullfighting?
I don't know your name.
To be honest,
I know nothing of it.
But I know a lot about
desperate women.
And who told you I am
desperate?
-This is the impression I have.
-Bullfighting doesn't interest you.
You are interested in my
relationship with Nino Valencia.
Tell EI Pais to leave me alone!
-Take me from here!
-What's going on?
Take me from here! There is
a snake in the kitchen.
-Give me the keys.
-The door is open.
Calm down.
And stay there.
My purse.
Take me to a hotel.
I am never coming back to
this house.
-To which hotel?
-To Eurobuilding, lets say.
Don't tell anyone about
the snake, please.
Only my family knows.
I always respect other
people's phobias.
After what you have done, how
can I say no to to the profile?
Think about it again. I will
call tomorrow, tell me then.
Thanks for everything.
Do you want me to stay? I can
sleep in the sofa.
No, I need to get used to
being alone.
Do you wash her?
What do you think?
-How was the night?
-normal.
-Give it to me. I will do it.
-I am going now.
-Good bye.
-Bye, Matilde.
It's so hot!
-Lets cut her hair.
-short, it's more practical.
We will leave it as it was
when she came here...
...so that she is not surprised
when she wakes up.
After 4 years, it will be great.
I believe in miracles.
So should you.
-Why me?
-Because you need them.
One might happen to you,
and you will not know.
So hot!
I took something from the
drugstore...
...to help stop the perspiration
stains on my uniform.
My armpits are ok,
but look at my face.
-What's it called?
-Perspirex.
It's Marco...
Remember me?
-How are you?
-Naked.
I need to buy some clothes.
That's all I've got.
I can bring you some
from your place.
I don't want anything from there.
Maybe another time.
-Where are we going?
-To Sybilla.
-You think I am crazy.
-Why?
-Because I don't want to go home.
-No, I understand.
When I separated, I couldn't
sleep in the same bed...
I was sleeping in the sofa,
in the living room.
For a week. Until I finally
bought a new bed.
So, you are separated.
I am alone.
AFTER A FEW MONTHS
Marco, we should
talk afterwards.
-We've been talking for an hour.
-You have, not me.
Indeed.
Did you read about the nuns
that got raped by the misionaries?
Priests, themselves!
It's horrible!
Yeah, they've gone bad too!
Where are we heading to?
First they raped the locals.
Then, due to AIDS, they started
raping nuns.
And I admired them so much!
Not all of them are rapists,
for sure.
No, some of them are
pedophiles.
-What's that? Everyone loves f***ing.
-Antonio, you are an animal!
-How do the bulls look?
-Good, but fat.
-How much do you think?
-Over 500 kilos.
I am going to the bar. And don't
forget, we are eating home.
If the kids don't see their aunt,
there'll be hell to pay.
Don't cry, my love.
-How is it?
-Very bad.
It tore her apart.
'Not the little one!', we kept
telling him, my mother and I.
And yet, she became like him.
Don't be upset.
What time is it?
It has been four hours.
AFTER THREE WEEKS
Are you going to Cordoba?
Yes...I would like to stay,
but I can't.
We can't do anything extra.
