Lovesickness AKA Maladies of Love (Maldeamores)

Baby, give me some chewing gum.

I don't have any.

You're gonna deny me some chewing gum? Give me some.

- You went through my purse. - What?

- You went through my purse. - When?

I hate it when you go through my things.

If you have nothing to hide, that shouldn't worry you.

I'm not hiding anything.

But I've told you a thousand times, stop invading my privacy.

I didn't go through your things! When I asked you for gum...

I did it thinking that perhaps you had bought some at the store.

And why would I buy gum when you know I don't like gum!

You don't, but I do. You could've bought some for me.

Enough, all right? Just let me read my newspaper in peace!

If you don't like gum...

then what's that pack of gum doing in your purse?

Let that be the last time you go through my things!

Fine, I went through your things, but you lied about the gum.

You have no right to go through my things! You hear me? No right!

I recognize that I made a mistake.

Now you recognize that you lied about the gum.

I don't have to recognize anything. Don't go through my things!

If you have nothing to hide, it shouldn't concern you if I go through your things.

I have a right to privacy! I don't have to tell you everything!

Why didn't you tell me about the gum?

If I feel like having a thousand packs of gum in my purse, that's my problem!

And I don't wanna talk about this anymore! I'm done arguing!

I just want to read the newspaper! Why do you always have to upset me so?

I don't mean to upset you. You're free to do whatever you want.

You can have all the gum you want in your purse. That's not the point.

The point is, you were hiding it from me!

The point is, I don't want to talk about this anymore! You drive me insane!

Stop annoying me!

I just lost 50 cents in a newspaper I never got to read!

- It's all your fault! - 50 cents.

- You can read tomorrow's paper. - I'm tired of listening to you.

- I'll buy you three. - You're so unfair!

You're the one that's unfair. All I want to know--

- You're pissing me off! - Why can't you come clean?

Please come back, baby. Why are you always doing this to me?

Come here.

Maladies of Love

Mom?

Get that. It could be an emergency.

The woman's already dead. What else could happen to her?

Ismael, please.

No one there. How does this work?

See who called, Ismaelito.

- Grandma's house. - I told you.

Stop busting my balls. We're on our way.

- Want me to call them? - Yes, please.

- Hello. Who's this? - Tati. Who's this?

Tati, it's me, Ismaelito.

Give me that. Give me that. Hello, Tati?

- Lourdes? - Oh, Tati!

I can't believe grandma's gone!

And Mom? Oh, Lord. She must be a wreck.

And I'm not there with her.

Yes, baby, we're on our way there.

So hard. This hit us so hard.

Ismaelito hasn't stopped crying. You know how he loved his grandma.

He's gotta come with us! He's gotta come with us!

I'm pregnant!

We're on our way.

Well, hurry up. Your mom's been asking about you.

Big kiss.

Mercedes! Why did you leave us, Mercedes!

Christ Almighty, please accept her in your bosom.

Good morning.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning. The gentleman cannot stand there.

- I love you. - What?

I love you.

Thanks. But really, you can't stand there. You have to sit down.

You want me to sit down?

Sit down? I tell you that I love you and you tell me to sit down?

Passengers cannot cross that line.

And you're crossing it.

Why do you talk to me as if you didn't know me?

- Because I don't know you, sir. - Of course you do.

I don't have time for your little games. So sit down or get down.

I love you.

So what?

So I'm not leaving until we agree.

Agree to what?

I want to marry you.

And I'm not leaving until you say yes.

Then I'm gonna have to call the cops.

You can't do that! I'm telling you that I love you and you're gonna call the cops?

- What's going on, man? - None of your business.

Thank you, sir. Please sit down.

- This is between us. - What is?

- What we talked about. - What did we talk about?

- That you're gonna marry me. - This guy's nuts.

I don't know him. He's nuts. Get off my bus!

- I asked the Virgin. - The Virgin?

Who are you to come and ruin my day? Get off my bus!

- I love you. - And I don't care, sir!

Buy yourself a dog. I don't even know you! Get out!

Aren't you listening? She doesn't love you.

Shut up!

Now you've done it. Why don't you try that with me?

- Don't. You don't know me. - You don't know me, either.

If you're gonna fight, take it outside.

- Can't you see he's reckless? - Just get off the bus!

Violence is not the answer.

Don't make me kick you all off the bus.

- Tell him to get off! - Yeah, get off the damn bus.

- What are you gonna do about it? - Sit down or I'll sit you down.

Calm down. I'll take care of this. Calm down.

- Leave. - No.

Get out. Get out. Get out!

- Easy. Calm down. - Don't touch me!

What are you looking at? Sit down right now!

I dare you to cross that line again. I dare you.

Cirilo looks good.

- You're really something else. - I didn't come here to argue.

I just love it when someone comes here and tells me what to do.

- My father's homeless. - And what do you want me to do about it?

Well, this house also belongs to him.

Sorry. Do you know where my suppositories are?

Cirilo, remember that last night you used the last one?

True.

This house stopped being your father's over 30 years ago.

The same day he decided to leave us.

What will Cirilo say if I bring an old man to live with us?

My father is not an old man. He's the father of your children and he's sick.

Doesn't it make you sad that he's sleeping in the street?

If it makes you so sad, then why don't you take him to live with you?

That's insane. You know our house is barely big enough for us.

Look, Mom, if I'm here it's because there's no other way out.

Flora. Excuse me.

I can't find my high blood pressure pills.

They're in the bedroom, Cirilo, in the nightstand drawer.

Your father was always very selfish.

And what's happening to him is what he deserves!

Mom, you're no one to judge him.

When Dad left, you went out with several men.

- So? - So that's not right.

Look, sweetie, this is my pussy...

and I'll do with it what I want.

Do you know where the enema is?

Why the hell do you want all that stuff? What are you making, a rocket?

It's just that I don't feel well.

I don't know. Maybe it's hanging in the bathroom.

Think about it. It's time to forget about the past.

My dad's all alone.

And he's dying.

And you haven't stopped to think...

that we're all on the way out!

What are you doing?

Had I known you were coming here,

I would've told you to leave me at Grandma's!

I won't take long. I have to go to the bathroom.

And you can't wait five minutes to get to her house?

You know I don't like shitting in someone else's bathroom.

For once in your life, can't you stop thinking only of yourself?

- I'm shitting my pants! - Then hold it!

Then start walking!

- Please hurry. - I'll be right back.

- What are you doing? - Getting out.

- No. - Mom, please--

- No. - To stretch my legs!

I said no, Ismaelito. I have enough problems with your dad.

- Be right back. - Hurry up, please.

- Ismael! - Macho!

Hey! What's going on?

How are things?

What's going on? Someone die?

That brother of yours is so thoughtless.

You heard?

They just called me.

No, my sister-in-law, don't. Don't get like that. Don't worry.

Those things happen.

No, no, no.

I'll be honest with you. Because I might be ugly, but I'm honest.

You shouldn't be crying over such nonsense.

What do you mean "nonsense"?

Because it's nonsense.

I tell you, I knew it would end up like this.

Problem here is that...

...that brother of mine was sold a pig in a poke.

What?

You shouldn't be suffering because of that woman.

If you stop and think about it, Tati is a real bitch.

I'm coming!

- What? - Mom, can I--

Ismaelito, shut up.

What are you saying?

That you shouldn't be suffering. Let it go.

I'm coming!

- Mom-- - Ismaelito!

Wait, Macho, what are you trying to say?

I told Ismael...

not to get involved with that woman because sooner or later you'd find out.

- Goddamnit. - Give me that.

You blow that fucking horn again and I'll beat the crap out of you!

Are you telling me that my husband is having an affair with my cousin?

No.

- Since when have you known? - No, I didn't--
