MISTER PRESIDENT

FOREVER

Mister President Forever

We are a unique will.

We are the end of our enemies.

We are eternal! -- MISTER PRESIDENT

Today, we celebrate another glorious anniversary

of the victory of the information purification.

So let's celebrate!

Now there is peace.

Now there is prosperity.

Now there is joy.

We proceed to consolidate a new country.

A beautiful country.

We rule with one purpose, the happiness of our people.

We are people united in the hope and the future of our children.

We are a unique will.

We are a unique vision.

We are eternal!

With you, forever, here we shall stay.

Shut up, baby!

"Cambalache"

Ladies and gentlemen, please. I want to propose a toast.

To welcome a man who, we believe, he should not rule this country.

Miguel Angel!

Because you, Mr. President, had to to rule Europe.

China.

United States.

But mainly Europe, cradle of culture and freedom.

Mr. President, let me introduce you your new Constitution.

And let's make a toast to your eternal re-election.

Health and all health!

Long live the President! Long live...!

How disgusting is flattery!

Hard to live in fear.

It's the life of a satiated slave.

For that we stay.

Think we were the princes of the army.

He, the eternal, forever, never.

Miguel, that small blonde there, who is she?

Mr. President, she is the daughter of General Canales.

And I am the father of the country.

Beautiful, the little girl!

Miguel, get rid off everyone here and bring her to me.

She's a girl!

Camila, the Pre is looking at you, his eyes are falling out! Take advantage!

I'll tell you again. Better dead than shat.

Excellency, the glorious days owe you!

Here my beautiful daughter, Lucía. Lucia, the President.

Lucia, I'm so glad!

Mr. President. Gen. Canales and his daughter, Camila, wanted to greet you.

General.

Your beauty makes us good.

Please, join us.

Um, at my age .. one needs .. young blood!

Here, everything is old. Is that right, Miguel Angel?

Ah, I would rather say historical.

What a thought? I did not know that your daughter was so sympathetic.

Excellence, we don't want to .. abuse of your time.

Ahh, please! Stop the bullshit, Canales!

A servant of the country, NEVER eats up the president's time.

Besides, .. your daughter is a true miracle.

I would like to .. show you the contemporary art collection owned by Miguel Angel.

Come on.

Mr. President. .. your guests want to greet you.

Anyone who hasn't come yet, I guess they don't care, huh?

But yes, Mr. President.

Gentlemen, .. the President retires. Anyone who wants to congratulate him, has time.

They killed Parrales.

Gentlemen, please, excuse me.

We are the end of our enemies.

It was Canales. It was Canales!

Who killed him?

Canales is not the winner. Canales doesn't fuck me.

Perfect. Leave it as it is.

We are a unique will. We are a unique way.

We are the end of our enemies.

We are eternal! We are eternal! ...!

The witnesses, faithful to your Excellency, confessed it.

- We have the evidence. - Aaah!

In a way .. you think, but I know it was Canales.

What do you think Miguel Angel?

Since Mr. President knows it, the auditor believes that,

who else could it be?

Although .. such a scandal may irritate the military.

I don't give a shit for the military! They only want money, drinks and whores!

Well, auditor.

Bring me Canales. On your way out, call me the animal the secretary.

Mr. President.

Miguel.

You just saw that I ordered the arrest of Canales.

Although we know he murdered my brother Parrales,

it is not in the interest of the government that he goes to jail.

So, I want you to arrange his immediate escape.

Go and tell him what you know.

Advise him on your behalf that it is very good for him

to escape.

And if he plays the hero and gets caught I WILL CUT HIS HEAD OFF!

Yes, and something else.

Tell him, too, about the little girl not to worry, heh heh heh!

We will offer her a well promising future, ha ha ha ...!

Leave her in our hands, ha ha ha ha!

With your permission, Mr. President.

Your paper.

- WHAT'S GOING ON, ANIMAL! - Sorry, Mr. President.

ANIMAAAAL .. ANIMAL ! GIVE 200 DRUBBINGS TO THIS ANIMAL !

- Did you call me, dad? - Yes.

I called you because I want to talk to you about Mr. President.

Whoa! Yesterday was strong! Thanks for saving me.

Your juice, miss.

Well, well, you can retire, please.

Dad, Fedina is trustworthy. Like family. Don't treat her like that!

I'm not into formalities. I have a graduation. And I don't want you to answer the phone.

If they call from the palace, have them answer that you are absent.

But, Dad, I think you are exaggerating.

I know what I'm doing, daughter, and why I'm doing it!

I won't always be here to defend you.

Be very careful, daughter.

What I did yesterday he won't forget it!

Delicious, delicious!

Excellency, the animal couldn't stand the 200 drubbings.

Order that the widow be given $3000 on behalf of the President for funeral expenses.

Understood.

And why are you trembling?

Sir, .. why he didn't stand the drubbings?

Because he died.

- Did he die? - Mhmm.

Bring me more coffee.

But Canales is the only military man who enjoys the respect of the whole world!

Yes, I know. But you, not a word!

- When will you pay me? - What's up Chon?

Half the working girls here, I have brought them!

Besides, I have a surprise for you.

A very special one. Camila Canales!

Camila Canales? Ha!

- Are you crazy? - I offer you Camila Canales.

Look, beautiful, educated in Switzerland and daughter of a general! Ha Ha!

My love, tonight bring whoever you want.

Sure, but you, the dead!

Not a single word. Tonight I will reward you...

What are you doing here?

Will you spare me a few minutes?

Speak up. I charge you for the time.

It's regarding your father.

Look hoodoo, don't mess with my dad!

On the contrary. I have some urgent information for him.

My card. Please tell I will expect him at my house as soon as possible.

Now, we are nothing anymore.

Like the times of the Republic. Then, yes, there was respect.

The armed forces are the whores of politicians.

What a small role we have now! Do you remember, Juan?

- How .. they celebrated me, then! - Listen to what your little brother says.

People still admire and respect you. You are a national hero.

Oooh. The military didn't have to to applaud any ASSHOLE!

- A kiss. - Leave me!

Misery police! What kiss and kiss. You want a KISS and then CHEESE!

Calm down, lady, calm down!

What are these things? Get nice in a right way!

- You will manage to get the police to come! - At your command, Your Excellency.

- What, what, brings you here? - Hello, Lucio.

What Lucio, dirty!

That's what you are, DIRTY!

I came for a small matter.

You had to be a policeman!

But try to enter here, try it!

Come on, that's it!

I want to ask you something.

Do you want to earn good money?

Heh heh! Speak up!

You know the daughter of Gen. Canales?

Yes, of course! What, what? Yes, no. It's not flirting, is it?

But yes, it's true.

I'm in trouble because the father doesn't want us to get married.

That's why we want to run away, to get married.

We want to do it tonight.

Masacuata, drinks first. This is getting really good!

Your Excellency, do you smoke?

So what do you say? Should I count on you?

But, it has to be done today!

No, impossible. I'm on duty until 11:00

Unless I find you a substitute.

I have a friend.

No, his friend, Gerano, it's an unsalted egg!

Besides, his wife, Fedina, says everywhere that Camila is his son's godmother.

Then, we cannot count on this unsalted egg.

Especially, because he is not neutral.

It's a shame, Vázquez. You can't do me this favor!

The government would thank you so much...

Yes, sir. Can it be later? 2:30 maybe? Yes?

Yes! Heh heh heh heh!

Leave me alone, you bastard!

I am innocent. To escape declares that I am guilty.

- Don't do it... - But don't do it...

That is, I'm guilty.

You have to save the skin, Gen. And you still have time.

And don't worry about your daughter. She will be fine at your brother's house, Juan.

- But, I'm innocent! - That's why, my dear sir!
