it's a bit old fashioned.

I used to have those machines.

They're good, they're Italian, but...

- Who's the side ref?

- Barcelo.

- He blew it for us once.

- Yes, that penalty...

If you want to modify the plant,

I can help you.

We could import socks

from Brazil and sell them here.

It's a good product. I've got

some samples you can show to your customers.

Go, go, go!

No!!

D*ckhead!

You always ruin it for us!

Fuckwit!

Ram that flag up your arse, you stupid c*nt!

- Iguazu Falls were nice, weren't they?

- Yes, very nice.

I've lived in Brazil for 20 years,

but never been there.

Not that I live very close,

but it's not a long drive.

I will soon

bring my family there.

- Yes it's beautiful there.

- Yes, it is.

- Good evening.

- Oh, good evening.

Two of these, please.

- Do you like them, Marta?

- Yes.

I want to go for a holiday,

but I can't.

There's so much to do at the plant.

Do you like those?

- Yes.

- Two more.

But I can't complain.

It's good just to have a job.

- Definitely.

- One more of those.

Of course, it's important to have work.

My father, old Kller, always used to say...

Can I have three of these?

One has to work, he said.

He was a special man.

I watched him work all day.

I probably look like him.

One of these, please.

Every day when I see the plant,

I think of him.

- Do you want anything else, Marta?

- No.

That's all.

There was an awful silence,

and then he said:

"It must have fallen off,

because I never lose anything."

"It must have fallen off,

because I never lose anything."

Hold on, Marta. Just one more.

It is good and very short.

Old Isaac laid on his deathbed,

and his whole family was with him.

He was dying, and then he said:

"Rebecca, are you here?"

"Yes, daddy, I'm here."

"and you, Judith, my beloved wife?"

"Yes, Isaac, I'm here."

"Are you here, Samuel, my dear son?"

"Yes, daddy, I'm here."

"If everyone is here, who is

looking after the shop then?"

- Who is looking after the shop?

- Excuse me.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming, Isaac.

Hello?

I would like to talk

to Herman Kller?

Hello? Hello?

... so I grabbed after my wallet,

but I didn't find it.

I didn't have my creditcard,

I had nothing.

So I went to talk to the owner.

And do you know where this happened?

- At Tony Ramos restaurant.

- Tony Ramos?

He's got a restaurant

right where I live.

Think of what my daughters would have said!

"So embarrassing, and in front of Tony Ramos!"

Do you know Tony Ramos in person?

We are not friends, but we have talked

sometimes. Tony is a nice guy.

The sets, the actors, aren't they?

We don't watch it at home.

But they are investing a lot of money in it.

What time you're supposed to be

at the airport tomorrow?

He is throwing me out! Please!

Let us finish this one first.

Come on. It's so little left.

Let us toast.

It was nice to see you again

after such a long time.

I'd like to propose

a toast for this meeting.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

That's been an enjoyable visit,

but it was too short.

That's why I'd like to invite you.

Do you want to come with me

to Piripolis for a couple of days.

- What do you say, Marta?

- I'd love to.

The guy who repairs shades

will be at the plant tomorrow.

- But, Jacobo! When was the last time you were there?

- This is not a good time.

He needs to repair the window shade.

Do you want to tell him?

Say it yourself, Marta.

- No, I get embarrassed.

- It was only a joke.

Marta told me that you

still like chocolate.

When I talked with the cashier,

and when nobody saw it, -

- Marta stole a chocolate.

A present for you, Jacobo.

- Pay attention to the road please.

- That was funny.

Breakfast is included and

is served between seven and ten o'clock.

Indoor pool is on

the first floor.

We have a restaurant with

live band and a casino.

Juan Carlos will show you the rooms.

If you need anything, just dial nine and ask

for Andres. I hope you'll enjoy it here.

Excuse me, could we get

separate beds in our room?

- My wife has a bad back.

- Let me look into that.

- It's all right. Forget about it.

- I hope you'll have a nice stay.

And this is your room.

Please, come in. Madame.

Over there is the bathroom.

Here is the refrigerator.

Here is your remote control.

If you need anything,

just dial nine and ask for Juan Carlos.

Thank you.

If you don't need anything else...

- Here.

- Thank you.

- Just make yourself at home.

- Thanks.

Here are your keys.

I hope you have a nice stay.

- How much did you give him?

- 20. Isn't that enough?

No, that's okay.

If it's fine by you, I would

like to take care of the expenses.

Here is your money.

He's got the upper hand.

Goal.

Draw.

- Marta, come and play.

- No, I have never tried it before.

It's easy.

Jacobo can teach you.

He used to beat me all the time.

Come on, Marta.

Just like that.

A little bit harder.

Thats good.

You are two against one.

I can't beat Jacobo.

- I lost.

- Let's play one more.

I'll buy another token.

Now he has started.

- Had you you ever been to Piripolis, when you were little?

- Yes.

And you haven't been here in a while?

Yes, haven't been here

for a very long time.

- And your brother?

- The same, I think.

Why didn't your brother show

up when your mother died?

What do you think?

That was expensive.

I'll buy water downstairs.

I can't sleep without water.

Me neither.

Did you also have trouble sleeping?

I went out to buy water,

it was too expensive here.

Could you please wait

for my husband?

- Yes, of course.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

- Don't mention it.

- Which floor?

- Fifth.

Thanks.

- You're newly married?

- Yes.

- Honeymoon?

- Yes.

We're from Argentina. We love Uruguay.

Excellent, my Argentinian friends.

It's been a while since

my honeymoon.

It hasn't been that long ago for him;

he's been at the Iguazu Falls.

It is very beautiful there.

I lost.

- Do you smoke, Marta?

- Yes, sometimes.

I have quit many years ago.

I smoked when I was young.

Do you want a cigarette?

No, but I'll gladly take a puff.

Thank you.

- Namreh Rellk.

- What did you say?

Your name spelled backwards.

Herman Kller.

- Can you say it once more?

- Namreh Rellk.

- Very good. Can you say something else?

- What do you want me to say?

- "Hi, how are you doing?"

- Ih, woh era uoy gniod?

Very good !

Say "the waves are choppy"

eht sevaw era yppohc

- "The girl plays with the dog."

- Eht lrig syalp htiw eht god.

- "The wind whistles in the palm tree."

- Eht dniw seltsihw ni eht mlap eert.

Good ! How do you do it?

When I was little and bored,

I used to read words backwards.

I listened to conversations and spelled them

backwards. That's how I learned it.

"Jacobo is exasperated."

Obocaj si detarepsaxe.

Jacobo, did you win?

I'm supposed to push here, right?

Smile and say "whisky".

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

- Hi, can I help you?

- No, thanks. I'm just looking.

- Have you been hiking much.
