Thank you, but I wouldn't want

you to stand either.

I didn't know that Robert...

So, what kind of contradiction did the 19th

century poets see?

-Antagonistical.

-What?

Umm... I didn't

understand the question.

I was asking what was

the problem with my brother.

Umm... the problem

with Robert?

The problem with Robert, umm...

...it's not really a problem,

I mean...

-You haven't prepared, I see...

-Umm...

-So, you are Robert's sister.

-Yes.

-Tell me if he did anything stupid.

-Nooo...

Well, he has a bit of a temper...

maybe he should calm down a little.

Still... But it's ok, at this age...

If at this age you don't do stupid things...

When do you do stupid things, then?

Teach, can I see if I haven't

left my cell phone inside my desk?

No, Bucescu, you haven't left any cell phone there,

and you disappeared right this instant! Out!

You have to keep them

on a leash, otherwise...

So, Robert's sister...

Are you a student?

-I'm a model and I go to modeling school.

-Of course.

For someone like you,

that's the future.

I say like you meaning... not that

you couldn't have a serious job.

I'm not saying that fashion is not serious,

God forbid...

...only that it doesn't require

any studying.

Although you said you went to some sort of school,

if I understood correctly... I'm babbling, right?

-A bit...

-Well, the fatigue...

I was writing all night,

I'm working on a novel...

-You're a writer, too?

-I am...

I should say I'm a teacher, too.

Teaching, practically, is only

because I enjoy it...

For me kids are an extraordinary material,

I like working with them... Get out!

Get out or I'll break your legs!

-So, Robert's sister...

-And what books have you written so far?

A lot. I happen to have a copy of my last volume,

I can give it to you with my signature...

-Wait, I don't know if I can...

-It will be my pleasure.

Well, girl... God be with you.

You don't know what you're missing.

I'm sorry, I had a meeting at the writer's union,

I couldn't get out of it earlier.

-I was just getting ready to leave.

-I would have called you if I had your number.

-I'm so glad you came...

-Next time, don't leave without paying!

-What did she say?

-Nothing.

Let's not stay here.

-I know a good pizza place nearby...

-What pizza, mister, let's go dancing!

-What club?

-"Why not".

It's a promotional party

for a toothpaste company.

-And will they let us in?

-Of course, I did a commercial for them.

-Race you to the subway?

-Subway? Ha!

Welcome to the promotional

party of "Domident"!

Where cool people with cool teeth

drink cool, dance cool and...

...feel cool!

Get me another "Campari Orange".

I felt a knot in my stomach...
