The Princess of France Page #4

What are you thinking about?

Victor.

You know he's back, don't you?

No.

- Is he?

- Yes.

Why were you thinking about him?

He crossed my mind when I saw you.

PRIVATE LESSONS:

He got some money in Mexico

to do something with the play.

I see.

He hasn't called me yet.

He told Carla.

He must have thought

you didn't want to do it again.

Well, you ran away.

But he could have asked me.

- People change, don't they?

- Yes, maybe.

Do you have his phone number?

He doesn't use one.

Do you know where he's staying?

Now at Jimena and Carla's.

You've all gotten together already?

I met him on my own.

If you meet him again,

tell him to write to me.

Okay.

There aren't many people around here.

Because they're on vacation now.

But there's a school here,

and another one there.

And Guillermo's number?

Yes, but he won't pick up.

How's that?

He's in the club.

- Same club as always?

- Yes.

- Still going there?

- Yes.

- He hasn't changed much.

- No.

He's with Victor?

No, no idea.

How do I get to the club?

If I were you, I wouldn't go.

Natalia!

Hello. How are you?

- Are you with Victor?

- No.

He's gone?

He hasn't lived here in awhile.

No, I know but he came back.

I see.

He left his backpack here.

No, that's mine.

- The black one?

- Yes.

But it looks like the one I once gave him.

I see.

And you are here by yourself?

Yes.

Do you have his phone number?

I have his old one

but I don't think he's using it.

The one he used a year ago?

- Yes.

- No, he's not using it.

Or he's not picking up for you.

Are you looking forward to

walking out on him again?

I don't get why you're

so aggressive with me.

It's been a while

since we last saw each other.

Why don't you ask me

how I'm doing or something?

You didn't ask me either.

Fine.

How are you?

Fantastic. And you?

Pretty bad, actually.

I see.

And why don't you care?

I just don't.

But I'm being honest.

So am I.

Any idea where I could I find him?

Ask Paula.

No, I can't. Paula's mad at me.

Naturally.

Come on. It's really important.

I want to be back in the play.

You know something. Give me his number.

What are you doing here?

- Victor used to come here.

- When?

Back then he was either with me or here.

That was over a year ago.

People change.

He surely has a new girl now.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing.

That's why it may be better

not to give you his number.

Don't get in between us.

Let me talk to him.

You're thinking of a Victor

that no longer exists.

Don't touch me.

You don't touch me.

What are you thinking about?

Victor.

You know he's back, don't you?

- No. Is he?

- Yes.

Why were you thinking about him?

He crossed my mind when I saw you.

He got some money in Mexico

to do something with the play.

PRIVATE LESSONS:

He hasn't called me yet.

I think he called Carla.

He must have thought

you didn't want to do it again.

You ran away.

But he could have asked me.

People change, don't they?

Yes, maybe.

- Do you have his number?

- Yes.

Why do you want it?

I'll ask him if I can be

in the play again.

- Maybe Carla won't mind.

- I don't know.

It wouldn't hurt to try.

Right now Carla is having a hard time.

Same here.

May I have his number, please?

Write it down.

No.

- Just tell me.

- You sure?

Yes. I'll memorize it.

- No, use mine.

- You sure?

I'll be brief.

Ana told me about

the new job for the play.

- Yes.

- I thought of something.

- What do you want?

- She says there's money.

Yes.

These months have been

pretty tough for me.

The private lessons aren't going so well.

I see. I already spoke to Carla.

You saw her already?

Yes. She showed me a DVD.

- Did you like it?

- Yes.

I thought we could tell her

to do some other part

so we could both be in it.

What do you want me to tell you?

That there's no problem with it.

That I still think about you.

Still sore?

No, still fine.

I'm pretty bad.

What do you want me to tell you?

Can I have Carla's number?

Why?

To call her, and explain to her

that it's nothing personal against her,

but a favor between us.

Can I have her number?

- I won't give it to you.

- Why?

Because.

If I explain it to her, she'll understand.

I've already talked to her.

I want her to do it.

But let me speak to her.

She's been doing it for a year.

I can't kick her out.

Will you perform?

No, Guillermo is doing it.

I won't kick him out

only because I'm back.

And what are you doing?

Everything else.

What's all that about her

spending a year doing it?

I have the same reasons.

It's not the same.

It's not the same, I need it much more.

In your opinion.

In my opinion, it's vital...

- Fine.

- Lend me your phone.

Stop it. Call her from yours.

I have no phone. I told you I'm broke.

What's that face?

- It's over.

- What's over?

- This is over.

- Let me see.

What are you thinking about?

Victor.

- You know he's back, don't you?

- No.

Is he?

Yes.

Why were you thinking about him?

He crossed my mind when I saw you.

He got some money in Mexico

to do something with the play.

PRIVATE LESSONS:

He hasn't called me yet.

I think he told Carla.

He must have thought

you didn't want to do it again.

You ran away, didn't you?

But he could have asked me.

People change, don't they?

Yes, maybe.

Do you have his number?

How are you, Victor?

Fine.

And you?

Yes.

She's here with me.

Okay. Here she is.

Kiss. Bye.

It's for you.

Hello.

Yes.

How did you know?

Telepathy.

Yes, in the street.

No, nothing in particular.

Yes, I could.

Great. Meet you there.

Kiss.

- I was just thinking of you.

- Why?

I have an offer for you.

There might be a job

for a few months for everybody.

The radio gig?

You heard about it?

Yes, excellent.

Just what I needed.

But you're playing another part

because Carla's doing yours.

I know. It's all right.

I need to ask you two favors.

Tell me.

May I stay at your place tomorrow night?

Yes, of course.

I'm homeless till Paula gets back,

and there's no room at Jimena's.

Thank you.

And the other favor?

Meet Paula and give this to her.

From Paula to Guillermo with love

Here, check it out.

LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOS You'll see me there.

And Guillermo, too, playing the Princess.

Have you ever seen him?

Just a couple of rehearsals,

never an entire show.

If you like it, I'll join in.

I'd love to do it.

Yes, it would be great.

I'm sure it'd be great if you all do it.

Aren't you tempted to

do it again yourself?

What? To act?

You did it for so long.

I'd rather have Guillermo do it.

How beautiful Paula was here.

It's Natalia.

- Moreno?

- Yes, she's asking for you.

It's Ana's number,

but it's signed by Natalia.

She says that if I'm with you,

you should call her at this number.

Hello, Natalia?

Victor here. How are you?

Fine.

I have an offer for you.

There might be a job

for a few months for everyone.

You already know?

You're playing another part,

because Carla's doing yours.

I need to ask you two favors.
