- Ill take two, please.

- Ok.

- Thank you.

- Bye.

- Mrs. Clemi, Im leaving.

- Already?

- Im too tired.

- Did you sell everything?

I have two left, but

Im taking them home.

I might eat one myself.

Whats that?

My grandson

made it for me.

- On the computer?

- Yes.

Its hard to read,

but its pretty.

- Are you leaving, Mrs. Clemira?

- In a little while.

Im waiting for Manuel, but if

he doesnt come I will go alone

- Alone?

- Yes...

Im going home, too.

Because its late and

there are no more customers.

- See you tomorrow.

- Ok, bye.

Go check the fuse box.

Watch out for Grandpa.

- Its not the fuse box

- What could it be?

- Did you pay the bill?

- Of course Mom, thats why I went to Chillan.

Dad, maybe its

the whole area.

Manuel, unplug the TV

and the fridge.

- Maybe someone is stealing the cables.

- Yeah, people do that these days.

- This power outage reminds me of a story...

- Hurry up, Manuel.

...about when my

father was a worker...

One day, he went to

Lautaro for his pay...

On his way back,

he had to walk through

a 500-meter-long tunnel.

And in the middle of it,

the light went off,

just like now.

Suddenly, he was

attacked by striking miners.

Who were asking

for a pay raise.

Raising their pickaxes,

they shouted "Get him!"

- Mom, can I have 1,000 pesos?

- Thats too much.

So the leader said: "Since you are a miner

like us we will help you, brother"...

Listen to Grandpa.

So all the miners chipped in some

money for my father to take...

- 400?

- I said no!

Grandpa, could you

keep it short, please.

Thanks.

Your water.

- Last but not least, right?

- Especially in this heat.

Its hard to close.

The zipper is tight.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Take care of yourself.

- You too.

Did your father

take his sweater?

I dont know,

I dont think so.

You know he

forgets everything.

Here it is.

Hes such a scatterbrain,

he never remembers anything.

Alejandra, how are you?

- Fine. How are you?

- Fine, thank you.

- I see its ready.

- Yes, Im almost done.

Come have a look

at my doughnuts.

Is that enough?

Yes, I think so. We have

six visitors coming today.

Three or four

North Americans.

And the others

are foreigners too.

The drinks will

be ready soon.

Good, but don't forget anything,

What about the "cazuela"?

I know which

chicken to kill.

Perfect then, Im off...

Actually, I need

to talk to you.

Quickly then,

Im in a hurry.

You might

get angry,

I always ask you

the same thing...

I wanted to ask you

for an advance.

Again?

Live told you,

I dont make enough.

Alejandra, put your

thinking cap on.

I've given you an advance
