You sissy, but if with a couple of dollars from|Chichina this gets fixed immediately

And again with the same thing. Forget about that money

Ok, perfect. If you get that mad then go all the way to Venezuela|walking and leave me here alone with the boss's money

Know what? I would get there in half the time and stop|meddling with other people business

F*** you bastard!

"Uy, Ernestito, bring me the little Yankee pants|from Miami"

Can't you see that you will never see them on or off?|You wanker!

Do you think it will work?

Hello, good evening

My friend and i have some problems with our bike|The direction is broken, the brakes are practically gone|and the shift box as always...

Let's see. I can fix the direction, the brakes and the shift box.

But i can't do anything about your backside.

When we get to Valparaiso we will receive some money,|when we have it we will send it to you...

You know, i wouldn't want to be rude, but if you|don't have any money,|you have nothing to do here, so please...

Excuse me the interruption, but if you help us right now you will|contribute to the bilateral relationships between our countries

If i understand correctly, you want me to fix it for free

I think we are not making ourselves clear

besides we can't expect everybody to know|who's who in the Latin-American medicine field

- Please doctor, come on in|- Yes, precisely today there was an article|published on the paper...

- Let me see...allow me|- Yes of course

- Look Piedad, Tulio look...

Of course, there's no problem

That's the main priority.

Do you know that tonight there's a dance|and God willing, all the ladies of the town will be there

Oh, what a shame.

- Could you give me the paper back?|- Thanks a lot, you are very kind

- I'll bring the bike over|- Please bring it over, we will fix it

Could i have this dance?

Cheers!

You know, i was just thinking about you

And why is that?

You made quite an impression when i met you

Thanks

- Would you like to dance?|- No

I don't dance

My husband fell asleep, he's drunk.|I don't have a dance partner

Well, if you teach me, yes?

Hey, you finally remembered that you are a man?

You had forgotten?

I can't dance here

Would you like to keep dancing?

Wouldn't you prefer to go out

- Had you noticed that Che? i hadn't|- No me neither

- Do you know what day is today?|- February 26th

February 26th...we are going to seem like liars,|but it has been a year...

A year? A year since when?

- A year since we started this trip|- That's nice

- Damn, one year and we don't have one cent to celebrate|- Wouldn't you like us to invite you a bottle of wine?

- Wine?|- Yes...

Lucho, bring a bottle of wine to our Argentinean visitors that|have made such an effort

But ladies, please don't takes this the wrong way,|but i can't drink wine

- But why, why can't you drink a little wine to celebrate?|- Exactly...

- Well there is an old tradition in Argentina that...|- Please c'mon, don't...|- What?

- I think they deserve and explanation|- Is adequate, yes

Thanks Lucho...Well, there is a long costume in Argentina|that doesn't allow us to drink with empty stomachs

And since we don't have any money at the moment, we can't|buy food and we must reject your generous offer

Please, don't be like that...wait.|Lucho, could you bring us some empanadas

- Do you like Chilean empanadas?|- I have never tried them

- four, eight?|- They are really hungry. Twelve.

I've always liked that number

- I would really like to stay here|- Too bad we don't have a place to stay,|but we can sleep at the plaza

Hey, but my father loves Argentineans.|I think he can help you

He is the chief of the fire department,|so he knows a lot of people

Wait, are you sisters?

Yes, of course, you hadn't noticed? Look...

They hadn't noticed.

- The mechanic doesn't come back until tomorrow,|but the bike can stay here
