Madre de Leo I was imagining it. My poor child! So young and already like a cow without a cowbell.

Leo Macías Like a cow without a cowbell?

Madre de Leo Yes, lost, with no direction, drifting, like me.

Leo Macías Like you?

Madre de Leo I'm like a cow without a cowbell too. But, at my age, that's more normal. That's why I want to live in the village. When we women lose our husband, because he's died or left with another woman, we have to return to a place where we were born. Visit the village chapel, sit outside with the neighbor and pray with them., even if you're not believers. Because if we don't, we get lost, like a cow without a cowbell.

Ángel Do you remember "Casablanca"?

Leo Macías Yes.

Ángel The first time Ingrid Bergman enter's Rick's? They both sit down at the same table. Bogart is rigid, speechless from emotion. Ingrid asks him if he remembers the last time they'd been together. It was in Paris. He answers, stone faced: "I'll never forget that day. The day the Germans occupied Paris, the Germans wore gray and you wore blue." You wore blue the day you fled from your life and ran into mine.

Leo Macías I don't remember it.

Ángel I'll always remember it.

Alicia Reality! We have enough reality in our homes! Reality is for newspapers and TV. Look at the result. With so much reality, the country's ready to explode! Reality should be banned!

Leo Macías Everyday I wear something of yours. Today I'm wearing the boots you gave me. Remember how you had to take them off because I couldn't do it alone? Seeing them reminded me of you and I put them on in your honor. Now they're too tight. Sometimes the memory of you, like these boots, oppresses my heart.

Manuela Who will you give the organs to?

Doctor B Whoever needs them most.

Manuela You wouldn't give them to an Arab?

Doctor B That happens in Third World countries.

Leo Macías You should take her out.

Rosa She doesn't want to go out.

Madre de Leo Why should I? To be killed by a skinhead or run over by a car? Those skinheads always stare at me.

Rosa It's because she calls them hippies and dirtbags. And there are only two around here.

Madre de Leo I can't even see if they're skinheads or yuppies.

Ángel I love the title "Pain and Life".

Leo Macías It's from a Bola de Nieve song.

Ángel I know it. "If I only have pain and life left, my love, don't let me live!" Relating Djuna Barnes with the "Cuban feeling" is new, but it makes sense.

Alicia People buy our books to forget the sordidness of their lives, to dream even if it's a lie. Coffee?

Leo Macías No, thanks.

Alicia Who'll dream of people who live in a seedy slum like the living dead? Who'll identify with a protagonist who works emptying shit out of hospital bedpans, who's got a junkie mother-in-law and a faggot son who's into black men? Have you gone nuts?

Leo Macías Maybe, but reality's like that.

🧡

Leo Macías This is like the film, "The Apartment."

Ángel Yes, it is. In that film, Shirley MacLaine falls in love with someone who isn't the person she's really in love with.

Paco Calm down, we'll get to bed soon enough.

Leo Macías We have to catch up. If not, I'll screw the first man I see. It's the phosphorus, you know.

Paco What?

Leo Macías You don't remember? My memory pills. They're aphrodisiac. With you gone, I'm going to end up an erotic writer.

Paco We said we'd park our problems during the war.

Leo Macías I'm sorry, I'm not made of steel! You can't park me like a car!

Paco Can't you try to understand the situation?

Leo Macías What's to understand? Between me and your work, your work wins.

Paco I'm trying to save many lives!

Leo Macías Why not save mine?

Madre de Leo Remember, Leo?

Leo Macías Mama, how would I remember that?

Madre de Leo No, I mean the poem I wrote about the village: Beautiful is the morning, Leo, The sunlight sparkles, The flowers offer their perfumes, The orchard is rustling, From branch to branch, without stopping, The joyous birdies flutter and sing, And their chirping enchants me, You can hear the soft bleating, Of flocks of sheep, That stand out against the pasture, Like snowflakes, Here stands a small hut, Home for shepherds, There a white cottage, Whiter than a lily, Afterwards we come to a farm, Next to the farm, there's a garden, Next to the garden, a house, And next to the house, a church, The hill is covered with oaks, The valley with fruit, And the river with many trees...

Leo Macías This reminds me of the end of "Rich and Famous". Two friends, writers, making a toast, alone, far from the world in front of a fire.

Ángel Yes. But, you don't drink and it was New Year's Eve. That's why they toasted.

Leo Macías Give me a drink and I'll make it New Year's Eve.
