The Sea Inside Page #5

Cry all you want. I wish I

could stand up and give you a hug...

Now that I had started

to save some money...

I wanted to buy you a

telescope for the day of the Wise Men...

You don't have to buy

me anything, Rosa...

I will get really mad if

you spend one cent on me...

But I really wanted to...

I wanted to give you something...

But why do you have

to give me anything?

Because you game me a lot

Ramon, you have no idea...

No man has never been so

kind to me as you have been...

Was it that bad?

Now, I don't complicate things...

Now I know that the

problem must be me, right...

That men doesn't like me or something...

What do you say, Rosa? How

is that even possible?

Wasn't that what you told me

when I came here the first time?

Frustrated woman, you said...

Yes, yes. If I called you that...

...then, now I call

you strong and brave...

...and kind and beautiful. And I call

an imbecile to those who can't see it...

Rosa, please stop it.

You make me feel like a priest

and I hate them enough already...

Sit over here, come on sit.

And leave my hand alone,

you know I can't feel it...

My son says you are faking it.

But you do feel your face, right?

I wish I could help you.

I would do anything to help you.

You would help me?

Yes...

Don't worry. I have it all planned

so that no one ends up in jail...

I have some friends

that are willing to help...

I only need one more.

Someone brave, like you...

No.

Help you heal...

...not die...

Come un guys, let's go.

Are you holding him?

He won't fit through here...

Ramon says that he understands the

situation but that he won't come down...

Ok. It doesn't matter. Brother Andres...

Go upstairs and tell Ramon...

...and since we are inside

eternity. Life doesn't belong to us...

...and we take to

ridiculous extremes the...

...bourgeois definition

of private property...

You are killing me...

But if Church was the first one

in secularize the private property...

- I can't tell him that

- How come?

Should I tell him that?

Freedom to choose my beliefs...

...no, his beliefs and

decide over his life...

Ok, now you tell him...

Why does the Church keep with such...

...passion that posture

of terror of death?

Because it knows that it would

lose a great amount of its customers...

...if people lose their

fear to the Great Beyond...

He reminds you that

according to the polls...

in favor of euthanasia...

Very well, very well.

Now you tell him that...

...moral issues are not

resolved through polls...

Because most of the German

people was also in favor of Hitler...

Now he is going to compare me

to Hitler. That is very rude...

No, not that...

Ask him what does Hitler

has to do with anything...

No wait... Padre

Francisco, do you hear me?

Yes. Ramon I can hear you...

Why do you mix pears with apples?

I hope you didn't come

here to do demagoguery.

Because you Jesuits

know a lot about that.

No, no. Of course not.

But since you bring up

demagoguery, my dear Ramon.

Don't you think that what's really...

...demagogic is to say

"Death with dignity"

Why don't you leave

the euphemisms aside and...

...call things by its name,

with all its rawness...

"I take my life" and that's it...

It keeps surprising

me your interest in my...

...life, when the Institution

that you represent...

...accepts the death penalty

and condemned for centuries...

...to the bonfire those who

didn't think in the right way...

Now it is you the one

doing demagoguery...

Yes of course, but leaving

the euphemisms aside...

...as you say that's what you

would have done with me, right?

Burn me alive...

Burn me for defending my freedom...

Ramon, my friend...

Friend?

Ramon, my friend. A freedom

that eliminates life is not freedom...

And a life that eliminates

freedom is not life either...

Don't call me friend!

And leave me alone...

Come on. Let's go...

You... You that look like kind

people, give this man reasons to live...

Prove to him that life is not only

moving your arms and running around...

...or kicking a ball. Damn it!

Life is something else, really...

Life is so much more. Hear it from me.

And what do you want us to do?

That we gag him so he doesn't talk?

Or that we put him to sleep

with a rattle like a little kid...

Look. You appeared on TV and something

that I can't take out of my head...

Manuela, leave it alone...

You said that Ramon's family

didn't give him enough love...

...you should know

that in this house no...

...one stopped loving

Ramon for one single day...

Not one day...

I've been looking after him for

many years and I love him like a son...

I don't know which

one of you is right...

And I don't know if

it's true what you...

...say about life belonging

to God and not to us...

...but I do know one thing...

...you have a very big mouth...

Rosa, I told you that is not necessary.

I already shaved Ramon...

Yes, yes. But I know a better way...

Where do you have the soap?

They're here...

I don't feel anything. Are you

sure there's a child in there?

- Well, he's not moving

- You're the one that doesn't move...

- Now, now, now

- See...

- He's happy to see you

- How are you going to call him?

We still don't know

Well, call him Ramon

and that way one day...

when he asks why, you

can tell him my story...

Is better if you tell him...

There's someone else who

will be really happy to see you...

- No, no. Not like that

- Grandpa, shut up...

- How come you didn't say anything?

- We wanted to surprise you...

This a great Wise Men's day present...

I'm going to open the

windows, it's really hot in here...

We better get out and leave

you alone for a while...

How are you sailor?

- Do you drink coffee Mark?

- Yes, please...

- How are you Rosa?

- Fine...

Ramon told me that

you had found a new job...

Yes, caring for some elderly people...

Does that woman is going to stay long?

A couple of weeks, depending

on how long the book takes...

Well, I guess I won't be able to

shave him. See you some other time...

Bye Rosa...

Ok, the judges have their

hands tied because of the legislation...

We are going to try

to obtain a statement...

where we recommend to the

government changes to the penal code...

The government?

The government is

there to serve us, Javi...

Your uncle is more important...

The jury will not dare agree

with us, we already know that...

But we cannot fail on

the regional audience...

Javier, help me with the cows...

We have to convince the judges

that Ramon is complete sane and lucid...

It would help us a lot if

he would make a declaration...

Manuela, we have to take

Ramon out of the house...

Can you tell me what

were you doing in there?

Do you know what are they

talking about? What they want?

And what do I do? Lock

myself up in the room?

Do you understand what they really want?

What happens if he wins the trial?

Your uncle gets injected

and dies, like a dog.

And you never see him again...
