A Boyfriend for My Wife Page #2

Synopsis: Tenso (Adrián Suar) doesn't know how to deal with his wife, Tana (Valeria Bertuccelli); how to tell her that he wants to separate because the relationship is a completely mess due to her terrible temper. She constantly lives in a bad mood: if she doesn't complain about the weather she does about the government; if she doesn't complain about the neighbors she does about the teenagers... or whatever. Carlos, a friend of Tenso, suggests him to invert the situation... and cause Tana to leave him. Tenso wonders how, and Carlos has a suggestion: to hire the Cuervo Flores (Gabriel Goity), an old irresistible seducer that will try to charm his wife until she falls in love with him, and so, the Tenso finally finds the solution to his problems...

You don't have dinner.

You stand up straight,

looking at the wall,

and you say the three words.

-l want out.

-And you go.

Be brave, Tenso.

l want out.

l want out.

l want out.

l want out!

What you need kid is someone

like ''Cuervo'' Flores.

He knewwhat it was all about.

He was old school, he was.

He knewwhat it was all about.

He was old school, he was.

Real old school.

-Who's ''Cuervo Flores''?

-Who was... a phenomenon.

-A crook.

-A real talent, one of a kind.

-lt's in the genes with him.

-Yeah, but he caused a lot of harm.

No doubt. We couldn't

mention him at home.

Do you remember Susana Hoyos,

my cousin's wife?

With a name like that...

There was something about

Cuervo Flores, in his eyes.

He was wild, a hunting dog.

He knew you had to seduce a woman...

by talking to her,

making her laugh.

Christ, he caused havoc round our way.

Christ, he caused havoc round our way.

Maybe Marito never attended to

his wife as he should.

Do you remember lndia,

Gaita's girlfriend?

Do you remember lndia,

Gaita's girlfriend?

He saw her

the day before the wedding...

and convinced her to party with him,

and she missed her own wedding.

He's got a thing about married women.

-l need someone like that.

-No, forget it.

He can't show his face round there now.

They've got it in for him.

Come on, Tenso!

Everything was horrible.

The house was horrible,

l don't knowwhy.

The neighbours were horrible, too.

And for some reason l wasn't

worth sh*t.

Basically there was something

l was never able to swallow...

ls that the right word, swallow?

Does it matter? ls it the right word?

Yes, it is, yes.

Swallow.

You could also say assimilate.

OK.

l prefer that.

Because that's the word.

Assimilate.

l've never been able to assimilate,
