you really love me.

What kind of person are you?

You're gonna marry someone

you don't even love?

Someone who doesn't love you?

How many months or days

before you're sleeping with another woman?

That's not gonna happen.

I don't want to end up like my sister.

Sorry, but your sister was an idiot

who screwed the first guy that walked by.

- Shut up.

- It's true. And now she's stuck with a kid.

Don't talk about my sister like that.

Maria, I am not going anywhere

and you know it.

That doesn't matter. I am not marrying you.

Sorry to break it to you, but you'll have to.

No, Juan.

I don't have to do anything.

That's the way you are, Maria.

You are so stubborn.

You're an idiot, and a loser.

Most guys would've left by now.

I don't know why I stand you.

Then don't.

I'm not in love with you.

Me neither.

Perfect.

What's up?

How are you?

Where are you going?

To Bogota.

Hop on. I'll give you a ride.

To Bogota?

Of course, I'll take you.

I like the way you dance.

Really?

You, too.

I didn't think people could dance around

here. Thought they were all stiff.

Where are you from?

I'm from a little town.

Santa Rosa de Cabal.

About ten minutes from Pereira.

You know it?

No.

There are some great hot springs over there.

Someday I'll take you there.

Yeah?

What are you going to Bogota for?

I'm going because...

I have a friend who works there.

She works for a wealthy family,

in their house. She's going to help me out.

- Don't laugh.

- I'm sorry.

It's just that...

you're way too pretty to be working

as a maid.

Too cute to get dressed up

in that hat and apron.

Anyway, I was just going to check it out.

Nothing was certain.

Listen.

If you're looking for work

I might be able to hook you up.

Hook me up?

It involves traveling.

Traveling?

Tell me.

Working as a mule.

It's a cool job.

You go, hand off the stuff, get your cash

and that's it.

Everything's cool.

What about the people on the news?

The ones in prisons far away.

What about them?

They're the ones who want to be famous.

They get caught, get on TV, everyone sees

them, and they become famous.

I don't want to be famous.

I know a guy who can set it all up.

Takes care of the papers,

makes the arrangements.

Know what? Forget it.

Let's go.

No, hold on.

How much would I get?

You want something to drink?

Give me a beer and a soda for her.

I'm going to talk to this guy.

I'll be right back.

You're all right?

All set.

Let's go.

Come in. Sit down.

So you and Franklin are friends.

How do you two know each other?

She's a friend of the family.

Through my cousin.

Your cousin.

You're looking for work?

Yes, sir.

Where were you working?
