UNRESOLVED SEXUAL TENSION
We all know her.
She's Jazz Romero.
In a country like this, where nobody reads,
everybody is reading her book.
Her only book.
And, as you know, Almodovar has made the movie.
Jazz has hit the big time.
Young, pretty, rich, on TV,
Jazz is the personification of the Spanish dream.
She's got it all, hasn't she?
"The Orgasm: The Great Unknown".
Why is a girl like you in a place like this,
with a book like this?
I wasn't reading it, I was just browsing because...
- I wanted to give... - Why don't you give orgasms
instead of a book about orgasms?
Hang on!
- You're... - Jazz.
Jazz Romero!
"Unresolved Sexual Tension" is my favorite book.
I'm a fan of your s.
My name is Celeste.
What a coincidence.
I was just looking for a Celeste to have coffee.
- Really? - Sure.
I'm a fan of your s.
- So you say you love your boyfriend. - Juanjo?
Loads!
But you don't have orgasms with him.
Not many.
Not many, or not any?
I don't know!
Maybe I've had orgasms but I didn't realize.
Could that be?
And with your other lovers?
Well...
If you tell me Juanjo's the only one I'm going to cry.
Look,
there were more,
but I never actually made love with them.
And can you tell me, in the name of God and the Virgin Mary, why?
Maybe I didn't love them enough.
Have you never felt the need to turn your life upside down?
To make it exciting, an adventure?
Yes!
- Yes? - Yes!
Then you have to do something about it, right?
Yes!
Get married!
Look. I picked them up today. Aren't they lovely?
It's this month!
- Coffee? - No fucking way.
Two more gin and tonics!
How can you live on your own?
You're not happy, are you?
Of course not. Being happy sucks.
- Don't you miss having someone? - Like who?
- Like a boyfriend? - What for?
To protect you.
I've got a reinforced door.
Yeah,
but being alone don't you feel a bit lonely?
My loneliness and I are fine.
We don't need anyone else's loneliness fucking us up.
Don't you like someone saying he loves you?
Yes, when "I love you" means "I love you"
and not "You belong to me" which it usually does.
Know what? I think you've never been in love.
And you have?
Are you saying you're in love with that Juanjo?
I think so.
You think so. You are or you aren't.
If I was in love, I wouldn't need 30 minutes to think about it.
- It was 3 seconds. - Screw that!
Love isn't something you can doubt.
It's a wave that sweeps you along, a fist that knocks you out,
a fire that consumes you!
- You're scaring me a bit. - True love should terrify us.
It should destroy us and then bring us back to life.
That's love for me.
What you call love is an imitation made in Taiwan.
- Wow! - Wow what?
Wow, you're a real romantic.
Hey, no insults here, OK?
Two more gin and tonics!
Call me romantic once more and I'll kill you.
There must have been someone.
- Jazz, please. - OK, one guy, eight years ago.
And...?
It ended.
Was it wonderful?
It was traumatic.
A romance seasoned with jealousy, obsession, death...
But yes, it was wonderful.
And it made me what I am.
And what are you?
Someone who dares.
- Who dares what? - It doesn't matter.
No.
Come on, give me an example.
What kind of things do you dare to do?
What...? What...?
Your cell's ringing.
It's Juanjo.
Aren't you going to answer?
I'm not a lesbian.
Neither am I, but what you had was an orgasm.
- Yeah, right? - Yeah.
It's cool.
But I can't help thinking...
What?
Don't take it badly, OK?
I wonder how it would be with a guy.
That's the next thing you have to find out.
And I'm going to help you.
You'd do that for me?
Sure, on one condition.
- What? - You tell anyone that you know me.
Why?
Because you have to learn to have secrets.
Why?
Because you have to learn not to question your teacher.
- Why? - Because I fucking say so.
You're asking me to lie!
I'd lie if I said no.
It's Juanjo! I've never lied to Juanjo!
Then don't lie. Tell him you've slept with a woman,
you've had your first orgasm and you want to screw other guys.
He'll understand.
Juanjo?
You'll never believe it.
I had to close up the agency but I left my cell behind.
When I went back for it,
there was a power cut and I was stuck in the elevatorfor hours.
It was wild...
And that was how Celeste learned to keep secrets,
and Jazz was her best kept secret of all.
What's the problem?
No, they're all really nice.
- Maybe too nice. - Maybe.
I'm the Driller! And these are my three screws!
Go!
You're asking what's the secret hidden in these tight fitting pants.
It's an enormous source of pleasure,
a towering inferno that never stops burning.
And if you want to put it out,
come here, baby, and start blowing.
If you want a night of sex, have some of this.
If you want a night of sex, have some of this.
If you want a night of sex, have some of this.
If you want a night of sex...
You want to fuck?
What a lovely house!
And... that?
Going to clean your nails?
You lift it up.
Well,
you can do that too.
The panties too?
Well, OK.
Very interesting!
Welcome to hell.
Talk to me!
- Talk to me! - Shut up!
You're everything!
You're incredible!
- Tell me all about you! - Shut the fuck up!
How many?
- Five! - How much?
- Twenty! - Twenty?
I know!
- I think I'm in love! - And him?
Yes! He's making plans For the future!
If we see each other again, I like my pussies shaved.
Completely shaved.
It does seem like love. And Juanjo?
- Who? - Your fiancé
I've already told him, by phone.
- Told him what? - That it's over.
And the wedding?
Hell, he organized it, he can de-organize it.
Did you say there was someone else?
No, if Driller doesn't work out, I may have to go back to Juanjo.
- How did he take it? - Fine.
You don't know Juanjo, he's so cold, so cerebral...
Sometimes I think he feels nothing.
I'm sorry.
It's obvious that I'm feeling very...
fragile.
Where were we?
With Shakespeare and pastoral love.
Juan Jose, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
ONE HOUR OF INCESSANT WEEPING LATER..
You're scaring me. What's wrong?
It's very simple.
His mother's popped off, or his father's popped off,
or his fiancé's told him to beat off.
And as he hasn't taken the day off, I think it's the third option.
