The Motorcycle Diaries Page #3

Synopsis: In 1952, twenty-three year old medical student Ernesto Guevara de la Serna - Fuser to his friends and later better known as 'Ernesto Che Guevara' - one semester away from graduation, decides to postpone his last semester to accompany his twenty-nine year old biochemist friend 'Alberto Granado' - Mial to his friends - on his four month, 8,000 km long dream motorcycle trip throughout South America starting from their home in Buenos Aires. Their quest is to see things they've only read about in books about the continent on which they live, and to finish that quest on Alberto's thirtieth birthday on the other side of the continent in the Guajira Peninsula in Venezuela. Not all on this trip goes according to their rough plan due to a broken down motorbike, a continual lack of money (they often stretching the truth to gain the favor of a variety of strangers to help them), arguments between the two in their frequent isolation solely with each other, their raging libidos which sometimes get t

- Son of a b*tch...f***

Are you alright Fuser?

It was the curve

Son of a...

Look at the pipe...|son of a b*tch!

Pass the stakes, Im all out

Wait, wait, don't f*** with me

- You had to choose this place, you idiot...|- No you chose this place

Hold that side

- No...f***|- Son of a...

- The river is taking it|- Grab it, grab it

It took it

- Che and what if we go there?|- We should ask for help over here, with the common people

- Which one are we doing? The broken headlight?|- No, Red October. You have the experience right?

Good Night

What do you want

Maybe our appearance doesn't show it, but we are doctors|from Buenos Aires and Crdoba, respectively

We are traveling all over the country, doing some research|with hopes of curing some of the worst diseases of the 20th century

Plagues that not only consume our energy but that also|keeps Argentina in need

When by just reading the medical literature, you could notice, just as us...

What the f*** do you want, pair of bums?

Look sir, the wind took our tent, we are starving|and we need a place to spend the night

Ok, out there in the shed there's a good ground.|You can sleep with the workers

- We are doctors...|- Hmm...i like your face a lot, but i don't like yours fatty

- Fine?|- Yes, its fine|- Thank you.

Dear Mom...we are still hitting the road,|but to tell you the truth, the bike is less powerful every day

San Martn de los Andes, Argentina|January 31st, 1952|Km 2051

Money and food are scarce, but we manage to find opportunities|to eat and sleep for free

Thanks to our secret weapon:|Alberto's infallible sweet talking

...plagues that not only consume our energy but compromise|the modernization of Argentina

- So, you are doctors|- Well, no. Alberto is a biochemist and I am an MD student|- He is practically graduated, we are like doctors

- Then i would appreciate it if you could look at a swelling i have in the neck|- Gladly, eh...Mr.?

Von Puttkamer

Does it hurt?

- This is a tumor|- What do you mean a tumor?|- Yes

- Do you think so|- Yes|- Allow me

I don't know Fuser, fat sedimentation|it could be a cyst

No. It is a tumor in the occipital area

- Schatzie, these gentlemen say i have a tumor|- Tumor?

Good morning mam, i sincerely don't believe it is a tumor|but a sebaceous cyst

If you could give us a place where we could|eat and sleep we might be able to treat it

No, no look...we can't treat it. You will have to go|to Buenos Aires. I can recommend you a specialist

- Or we could try to help him, don't you think?|- Help with what? With the grass, with prayers?

- I understand, you can't do anything for me|- Yes we can, if you give us a place where we could eat and sleep.
