What a scandal

over a little headlight.

- Mom?

- What?

Tomorrow,

when this lady calls...

...you fill out the check

with the amount...

...and give it to her.

- No.

You heard me, Mom.

- Yes, but I can't.

- Why?!

Because I can't. I don't know

where she lives!

Isn't she your neighbor?

No, she isn't.

Her father lives here.

He moved into

an apartment in the hall.

Then take it to the father.

Mom, pay attention, please.

Here's the check.

Don't lose it!

Okay.

You don't trust me?

- Your own mother?

- Are you serious, Mom?

Yes, seriously.

Go on!

I have no energy or will.

I'm too tired.

Come on, Alfredo.

Get out, man!

Itll do you good

to move your bones.

What can you do locked up

all day?

You're punishing yourself.

- Cuca called you, didn't she?

- No!

Yes. She did call you.

Don't lie to me.

Okay, she did,

but don't change the subject.

I'll pick you up

tomorrow at nine.

No, Juan. Really.

You have to go back

to your normal life.

My life will never be

normal anymore.

I'm trying to help you.

And I'm grateful...

...but if you want to go on

being my friend...

...don't push me.

I have my daughter for that.

As you wish.

Today could be a day

impossible to get back.

Don't let this wondrous day

get away.

Everything that's here

was placed for you.

Don't look at it through

the window

come and sit at the feast.

Fight for what you have...

Well, that man is as

ordinary as his daughter...

...or he's as blind as a bat.

Hey, boy!

Come here.

Come here.

Come here with me.

- Javi!

- I called Don Juan...

...and he says you didn't

want to go out with him.

Since when do you talk

to Juan?

Since grandma died.

Come on, go change.

No, I'm not going.

I'm on holiday,

I got up early...

...and I came all the way here.

Come on, Grandpa. Cheer up.

Hello?

Mom, it's the third time

I call!

- Why didn't you answer?!

- I knew it was you.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm peachy.

Mom, your neighbor's

daughter called.

She gave me the budget

to fix the car.

Write this down, Mom.

It's 1,470 Euros.

She's a thief!

You can't take this!

I will talk her into

lowering that price!

Please, don't do anything more!

Give her the check and

let's get this over with.

- She's stealing!

- On another note.

It's Carla's

birthday on the twenty-fourth.

I'm telling you now

so you can't say later...

When have I ever missed

your kid's birthday party?

- Last year.

- I was in Seville.

Take note. I'll pick you up

on the 24th.

Bye.

She was in Seville.

She says she was in Seville!

Oh, God!

I can't look at you like this!

Think, okay?!

Remember,

you got Juanjo's job!

Remember that nice woman

owner of a gallery...
