If you get at least three clients,

you'll be hired immediately.

And you pay me for the test, right?

Not exactly-- not with money,

but you'll be employed by us.

Let me give you some advice.

I don't do it for anybody.

I'm doing it for you because I like you.

Why don't you start with your family?

Your uncles, your cousins--

they can help you.

And then you would be officially

hired straight away.

Okay. I'm going to try.

Thank you very much.

Good morning, sir. How are you?

I'm here on behalf of American Dream.

I'm offering really good

English courses...

- No. I'm not interested right now.

- The first three months are free.

Thanks, but not now. Thanks.

- I can give you a form.

- Not now. I'm busy.

Okay. Thanks.

But this is a special offer--

the first three months for free.

Okay. Thanks.

Well, maybe, if you explain it to me.

My English is really bad.

I completely understand. This is

why we are offering these courses.

If you let me in, I can

explain everything to you.

Just tell me when you want to start.

But you're sure that

we don't have to pay anything up front?

Completely sure.

Shall we fill in the form?

- Okay.

- Perfect.

- What is the boy's name?

- Alejandro.

Would you like a form?

NO SOLICITING:

Can I give you a form?

Are you interested?

No.

Okay, thanks.

Hi. I broke the key.

That's just what I needed.

I don't know if I have

something to open it.

What have you done to it?

I'm going to ring the bell.

I'm sorry.

Magda doesn't open

the door at this hour.

Give me my handbag.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Let's go.

Okay, I've found someone

who can help us out.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Hey, thanks for the other night.

Do you want a beer?

No thanks.

You've already done a lot for me.

If I had to pay for it,

I wouldn't have asked. Honestly.

Barmaid! Two beers, please.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

And you really don't know

anybody around here?

No, I don't know anybody here.

That's strange,

because you're married, right?

Or aren't you?

The ring is just an accessory?

No. But I don't want to talk

about it now.

It's funny.

I knew that you would be like that.

- Like what?

- Like that, like you are.

Why? What do you mean?

Because of your haircut.

- And now you are a psychic?

- I'm a hair stylist.

- You finally call me, eh, blondie?

- Hi honey.

Karen, this is my boyfriend

who I told you about before.

Look,

I'm going to ask you two favors:

first, don't get in too late;

second, don't have parties.

Hey, but give me some money, please.

Okay. How much?

Well, I have a guest.

Okay, I have to go.

What's going on? I thought the guy

in the car was your boyfriend.

Oh, no. I wish he was my boyfriend.
