Lovers: A True Story (Amantes)

Right

Fall out!

Paco, I have a message for you.

What's up?

Come with Trini and us where the bicycles are

Again?

Now?

Relax, man, relax.

Good morning, Paco.

Good morning, Madam.

Take my wife to the Station early tomorrow.

We expect some friends.

At your orders, Sir.

Let me see. We have them.

Why rent bicycles?

I promised the kids.

The maid and the manservant.

That's enough!

Neither of us is on duty.

Don't sulk!

Paco, Paquito, if you behave I'll buy you a lollipop.

What did you do in the country?

I kept cattle.

Ewes?

An ox there liked me.

Where did you both go to gaze?

Where are the children?

Somewhere

If you stay here you'll need a job.

Many want to reenlist.

Oh, no! Not you!

Not me. Only idlers give up everything to live off others.

Work makes a living.

But I'd hate to choke on smoke in a factory.

I've been a maid since I was fourteen and I'm okay.

I've saved 19.000 pesetas.

I'll save for both of us.

I'll work anywhere, all the time, but I'll do the saving.

We'll make a living.

Hey, think about us for a while.

Time for a snack.

Buy us some peanuts, at least.

And something else.

Come on, Paco. Call it a day.

And dried chestnuts.

December 8, a day like any other

These apes aren't even relatives.

Toffees.

And earth almonds.

Peanuts for all.

And meals?

I'll manage.

There's a room to let.

As long as it's near.

Yes, it is.

Looks good.

Bring your laundry once a week.

I'll see to it.

Sure.

Good

Will you come tonight?

Excuse me. I hear you've a room to let.

Do you?

Like it?

I'm not sure.

Why?

How much is it?

60 pesetas a week.

In advance?

Yes, that's right. Breakfast is free...

But you must make it yourself.

You'll stay for long?

I don't know yet.

Call if you need anything.

Thank you

Has she any children?

Not that I know of

I've slept all afternoon.

That's all you have done?

Sleep?

I've also thought of you.

May I know what you've thought?

Well...

Well what? You forgot, didn't you?

What a liar you are!

That's enough! Stop! Don't be silly!

You want to know what I've been thinking about you?

Something dirty, I'm sure!

Shall I whisper it in your ear? Listen...

No!

At your orders, sir.

Easy Paco, easy.

You aren't in the army now.

Good evening. Good evening.

A corkscrew?

Yes, sir. Right now.

Necking, eh?

Found a job?

Not yet, sir.

And why not?

They're building around here.

They need men.

There's a... huge ad.

My brother-in-law sells them bricks.

He's Arturo Vazquez.

Tell him I sent you.

Tell him to call me.

I will, sir.

Remember I always told you.

You must work to get ahead.

Yes, sir.

Well, goodbye.

Carry on.

Good evening, sir.

He didn't get...

to be a Major by working.

It's good advice, though.

Instead of wasting your time with nonsense, you know what you can do.

It wasn't nonsense.

Don't be reluctant.

Let me whisper it in your ear.

What dirt!

I won't eat you.

Hey!

Help me with this.

How are you?

So so

You've worked before?

I helped in the fields.

This isn't the job for you.

It isn't!

My pay?

The clerk is in the cabin.

Hi, Maria.

Hi, Paco.

You want Luisa?

I forgot my key.

She should be back soon.

I'll wait.

Patience

THE LEAGUE'S SCORE...

Trini?

Not Trini, Luisa.

I'm Luisa.

Isn't one's own bed cosier?

I forgot my key.

If it happens again, there's a key in the bar.

It won't happen again.

Good night.

Good night.

Would you care for a drink?

I wouldn't want to trouble you.

I'll take it anyway.

Sit down.

My last.

Pardon?

The glasses.

There were six, but now only these two are left.

No glasses, no brandy, no nothing.

Anisette, then.

I don't like sweets.

Nor I.

There's nothing else.

It's me.

You recognize me?

My girl's name is Trini.

Did you mean that?

I mean you're up a cloud.

I had a bad day.

So did i.

Want… a sweet?

No. No, thank you.

Have you had dinner?

I don't need dinner.

Cheer up, man!

Look, I happen to know bad days can be good if one likes.

How?

I always end doing something crazy.

What could I do?

Not you, we...

To the grave, Pepito.

Providence sent you here.

Put it on.

Let me.

You're so clumsy.

What is there for lunch?

Stew, Ma'am, like every Thursday.

Gosh, Thursday.

How time goes by!

If you ever switch menus

I won't know which day it is.

Oh, my head!

I've taken a couple of aspirins.

Dona Elvira...

I need your advice.

Yes?

It's a week since I last heard from Paco.

What should I do?

Have you quarreled?

No.
