- No, not much.

He's injured his leg when he was

showing off on our wedding.

No, my friends threw me up in the air,

and didn't catch me.

- Don't be angry.

- I'm not angry.

- The water is delicious. Aren't you going to join us?

- I'm only gaining courage.

- It's warm.

- Yes, very nice.

This is lovely.

I could stay here all afternoon.

So there you are then. I thought

I'd be here alone.

- How are the newlyweds doing?

- Fine.

- How do you like it here in Piripolis?

- Nice, except that he's injured.

- Is that right?

- Yes. I've hurt my knee.

- That's a pity.

- Yes.

What is it Marta? Have you lost something?

- The wedding ring.

- Damn.

- What's happened?

- She has lost a ring.

- Wedding ring?

- Yes.

Are you sure you wore it?

Rings don't fall off by themselves.

- Yes, they do fall off in water.

- That was strange.

We split the pool in two.

I search here, and you search over there.

- Do you take off your ring often?

- Sometimes.

You need to ask the reception for help.

Or write a letter to them.

The pool is big when you search for

a ring.

- Was it real gold?

- Yes.

Hey! Here it is!

- Thank you.

- That's great!

- I'll put it over here.

- You are my hero!

- Take off your ring.

- Mine won't fall off.

- It was made to measure.

- So was hers.

It was good he found it.

- Where is Jacobo?

- He's asleep.

- Aren't you going to dip your head?

- No, I'm too old for that.

No, you're not.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, and good luck.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, and thank you.

I'll come out of the pool, too. I'm cold.

Can't you stay a little bit longer.

I don't want to be alone.

Come on.

Jacobo, are you awake?

I'm going to buy water.

- Do you want me to come along?

- No, thanks.

I'll see you later, Marta.

Ees uoy retal.

"See you later." backwards.

Excuse me.

Jacobo.

It was not easy for me

being away from Mum,

but I knew that you'd been taking care of her.

And you've been looking after the plant.

My job and family required that I was there.

I couldn't help you

during your tough times.

Look,

I want to give you this

as a kind of compensation.

It's a lot of money.

It's a compensation for the

time you devoted to Mum.

And it covers my share of the expenses.

A little extra for all these years

you've been caring for her.

I'll manage fine, Herman.

I don't need this money.

I think you will need it

now that you are married.

We manage well.

- You can get cheap soap.

- No thanks.

You can use them to buy new Italian

machinery for your plant.

Applause for Francisca from Montevideo.

We're going to play more hits for you.

I hope you'll like this one.

Herman promised

he would sing today.

- Did you know he could sing?

- No.

I'm not a real singer.

Sometimes I'll visit a karaoke bar

with my daughter.

- Do you want to sing now?

- It's kind of embarrassing.

Number 24 never wins.

It's waste of money.

It's your birthday, honey.

I will never play it again.

I said you shouldn't play 24.

You did it anyway.

Of course.

How is it going with the girls?

Good.

OK.

Good afternoon.

- Do you want me to exchange everything?

- Yes, everything.

Hold on a moment please.

Keep the bet.

Black 24.

- Hello?

- Good morning. It's your wake-up call.

Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Thanks, Jacobo. It's too much.

- They're nice.

- Yes.

You can read it on the plane.

Thanks.

If I could have travelled somewhere,

I would have travelled to Brazil.

A good choice.

Brazil is a beautiful country.

I travel a lot,

I'm almost never at home.

- Have a nice trip.

- Thanks.

- Have a nice trip.

- Goodbye.

- I'm ready.

- I'm going to call a taxi for you.

No, that's not necessary.

I'll take the bus.

Need a cab to Yata street 1421.

It's a block of flats...

yeah, thanks.

It'll arrive in three minutes.

Oh, yes.

- You shouldn't have done that.

- It's a kind of compensation.

That was not necessary.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- I'll see you tomorrow, god permitting.

Kller, is your team going to

advance to first division?

Your team is a joke, Kller.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Could we turn the radio on?

- I'd prefer you don't.

Thank you anyway.

Karina?

- Ask for Marta, when she arrives.

- I will.
