Truman Page #4

---

Yes, I've got a French

partner now.

He gets me a lot of work.

I'm glad to hear it.

Julin...

I'm really sorry about

what's happening to you.

I just heard recently and...

I'm really sorry you're

going through this.

I just wanted to tell you.

I often think of you.

Thank you, Luis.

Keep your spirits up.

I'll let you get on

with your meal.

Thanks.

Sorry to interrupt...

I was just leaving and...

I wanted to say goodbye.

This is Mnica.

This is Julin.

- Nice to meet you.

- You, too.

Thank you for saying

hello earlier.

After what happened,

that you said hello the way you did,

I didn't expect it.

I'm really thankful.

I'm very moved

and I want to apologize.

No, it's not necessary, Julin.

Yes, it is necessary,

it really is.

I want to apologize because

you were my friend,

and what I did

was despicable.

And I especially apologize,

for not saying I was

sorry at the time.

Especially for that.

I could have done it, couldn't I?

I accept your apologies.

Thank you.

However, if that hadn't happened,

I wouldn't have met Mnica.

She's pregnant.

Really?

That's great.

Congratulations.

She's pregnant.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Well, I take back my apology.

Sorry.

Goodbye.

You're like an extinct species,

you know that, don't you?

You could stuff me and put

me in a display cabinet.

That's a good idea.

I could get back

the money you owe me.

Mr. Alfredo, how are you?

- Am I interrupting?

- You never interrupt.

My friend Toms is

visiting me for a few days.

Mr. Alfredo's the producer of the play,

and the owner of the theater.

- Nice to meet you.

- The theater has no owner, Julin.

Have a seat, please.

I've learned about

your disease.

When I was told, one week ago,

I started crying.

And I have no

words of comfort.

Thank you.

But I also...

I also got mad at you.

I got mad because I thought

I should've been the

first person to know.

We're friends, aren't we?

Of course.

Who gave you your first

job here in the theater?

You did, Mr. Alfredo.

And back then, nobody was

hiring Argentine actors.

Nobody.

I didn't mean to upset you.

I know, I know...

dear Julin.

Julin, what you

need now is rest.

Stay at home,

let others take care of you.

I have to see to it

that this boat stays afloat.

So everyone can get paid

at the end of the month.

It's been very hard

to find someone else.

He won't be as

good as you are,

but after some training,

he learned his lines.

We've arranged that he'll start

at the end of the month.

You still have a few days

to say goodbye.

You understand, don't you?

I think of you all the time.

What was that?

I'd say he's just fired you.

Everything's going to hell.

Argentine rock.

- Paula.

- Yes, Paula.

You talk to her, come on.

She wants to get today's report.

You answer...

You two get on well...

Hello...

Hello.

Good morning, it's Julin.

Yes, the dog's owner.

No, I wanted to know

what time I could pick him up.

Did he eat?

Yes.

Great, great, no problem.

Oh, I see...

No, that's no problem at all...

Okay, right.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing...

They asked if he can

stay for another day.

The Russian boy got

home late yesterday,

they spent very little

time together...

They want to take them

to a park to play today.

Well, that's good, isn't it?

Means things are going well,

it's a good sign.

Yes, I don't know...

I guess.

What do you want to do?

What surprises have you

got lined up for me today?

None, I was going to pick

up Truman and that's it.

How old is your son?

Nico?

Twenty-one.

- He'll be 22 tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Well, we can ask him to dinner.

Let's celebrate it.

To dinner?

When?

Well, today if you want.

If I want...

I'd love it but...

If you want to be alone

with him, I can...

No, no,

he'd be glad to see you,

I always quote you

as as an example,

I don't know of what, but I do.

We get the tickets online,

don't we?

- What tickets?

- For the plane.

What plane?

Nicols lives in Amsterdam,

Toms.

Nico lives in Amsterdam?

Yes, he's studying there,

I told you that.

Well, I didn't remember.

So you want us to go

there for lunch?

It was your idea.

Yes, yes, but I didn't

know he was in Holland.

Well, what's the problem?

It's near, we'll be back soon.

- Yes, sure... What?

- What?

You want us to go there,

have lunch and come back?

- Isn't it a good idea?

- it is, and very original, too.

Hey, you asked me

what I wanted to do.

- Yes.

- I told you...

"I want to go to Amsterdam

to see Nicols, my son. "

I haven't seen him in a while.

- It's his birthday tomorrow.

- Yes.

Plus I'd get out of Madrid,

which will be good for me.

But if it's not true we can

do whatever we want...

- You said we had money.

- That's right.

So...

Don't worry.

I'll go when you leave, that's okay.

We can make some sandwiches

and go to the park to row.

We can rent a rowboat.

We'll have a great time!

Don't worry.

They're not serving anything,

not even coffee or water.

I told you that.

I was about to show them my

test results, maybe that way...

- Have I said thank you?

- Yes, my leg hurts.

How's Nico?

- How's he coping?

- He's better now.

He doesn't talk much

about his feelings...

He's nothing like

me in that sense.

But he's fine.

He doesn't know the

whole story anyway.

What doesn't he know?

He thinks the cancer's

under control.

I haven't told him

about this last month,

or that I'm quitting chemo...

What for?

There's no need.

I want him to be calm,

there'll be time to...

What's wrong?

Why do you have that look?

What look?

The one you had,

as when you disagree.

Well, maybe I do disagree,

that's all.

- He's happy now, he's happy...

- I know.

He's with his girlfriend,

living abroad...

He's had a rough year.

What good is it to upset him?

I don't see why people insist

on making others suffer.

He has the right to know it.

Did I ask for your opinion?

I don't think so.

Everyone says what they think,

gives me advice.

They're all f***ing clueless.

F*** everyone else.

I paid for the tickets, I'm here.

I'll give you my

opinion if I want to.

When you're dying,

call me and we'll talk, f*** you!

Julin.

Julin.

I'm reading, don't bother me

or I'll call the flight attendant.

Okay, I'm sorry,

you're right.

Each person...

Each person dies

as best they can.

So what's the plan?

What did you arrange with Nico?

Want me to find a

restaurant for lunch?

To ask about local dishes

to celebrate?

I don't know,

I haven't heard from him yet.

What do you mean?

He doesn't know we're coming?

I guess he does,

I left him another message.

What if he's not there?

Why so much trouble?

It's not that hard

to make sure before...

Why wouldn't he be there?

He lives there.

Maybe he's gone away

with his girlfriend, I don't know.

Maybe they rented some bicycles,

it's common there, and went to Belgium.

- I don't know, Julin.

- Why don't you go jerk off?
