And it will be for good.

We'll have a quiet life as we age,

trying to forget all of these bad times...

while knitting stockings

with three needles.

The wait will seem endless.

No more endless

than it's been up to now, I say.

Be sure to wind it.

Take good care.

God will look kindly upon us someday.

Take care, Juan.

Do that for me.

They went off to kill each other!

Get off.

There's no law against

riding a horse in the street.

I'm inviting you to a round

of rummy, poker or pinochle,

whatever you like.

You're not inviting me to anything.

You're trying to prevent me

from following my path.

There's a rumor going around town,

a nasty one.

Don't believe in idle gossip, Inspector.

Nor start seeing things in broad daylight.

I'm taking a short trip

outside of your jurisdiction.

For the love of God, Juan,

remember all those years in jail.

I remember them very well.

Good afternoon to you.

Pedro, honey, leave your gun!

Old man!

Now the score is with me.

Stop and face me

so we can die like men!

Old man!

Stop and fight!

Or I'll shoot you in the back.

Come on, old man. Are you ready?

Pick it up!

I demand payback!

I can't kill an unarmed man!

Pick it up!

Old buzzard!

You've killed my family! Coward!

Defend yourself, old chicken!

Just die, you old brute.

Carlos Fuentes

Carlos Fuentes Macías (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾ.los ˈfwen.tes] ( listen); November 11, 1928 – May 15, 2012) was a Mexican novelist and essayist. Among his works are The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975), The Old Gringo (1985) and Christopher Unborn (1987). In his obituary, The New York Times described Fuentes as "one of the most admired writers in the Spanish-speaking world" and an important influence on the Latin American Boom, the "explosion of Latin American literature in the 1960s and '70s", while The Guardian called him "Mexico's most celebrated novelist". His many literary honors include the Miguel de Cervantes Prize as well as Mexico's highest award, the Belisario Domínguez Medal of Honor. He was often named as a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, though he never won. more…
