The Sandman Page #2

---

I put them in a safe place,

don't worry.

We don't often see

bagpipers round here.

Yeah, but it's the only

thing I can play.

My dad used to say, 'bagpipes

are the sound of the earth'.

- And it's a sound I like.

- The sound of the earth.

Yes. He wasn't from here.

Is it true what you told

Burgos about the boat?

You think it's strange

that I know such things?

No.

Well, yes, a bit.

From the number of guns

it could be the San Jos,

the last Spanish galleon.

But the truth is I've

no idea what he's building.

My grandma had a lot of books.

As a boy I read everything

I could about boats.

My favourite novels were of

distant voyages, pirates...

I liked Jules Verne.

- Jules Verne!

- Yes.

I thought some day

I'd be like Captain Nemo.

- Nonsense like that.

- Why nonsense?

I don't know. I can't even swim.

And the bagpipes?

I earn a few pennies, though the

priest at Santa Eulalia church...

...doesn't like me

playing during mass.

No wonder. During mass...

When isn't it mass in this country?

Was it he who reported you?

You still haven't said

where you're from.

From outside.

The other side of the wall.

This hose is completely screwed.

Looking for something, friend?

The way out.

Just you or with company?

No, it's better alone.

You shouldn't talk like that...

...if you really want to

get out of here.

Don't you know how to lie?

I could hide behind there.

I don't take things out,

I bring them in.

I can get you what you want,

a jacket, a shirt,

salami, anything.

With money, everything's possible.

You got money?

Where would you go with no money?

To America.

America!

It's not on my way.

Here.

They're American.

I bet you'll like them.

It's hard as rock.

Give me a hand.

Little birdies.

Don't go up there!

Don't disturb them!

Rat!

Get down from there! Now!

What are you doing up there?

Come on!

Get down before you hurt yourself.

- Come down from there!

- I can't!

Get up.

- Where is the other one?

- He felt on the other side.

Pick him up, pick him up.

Get a stretcher and take him inside.

- Don't worry.

- I've lost my glasses.

- How is he?

- It looks bad.

Lord! Not again!

What do you want?

Feel my ass, or what?

Egg!

I only wanted to give you an egg!

Crazy woman!

He only wanted to give it to me.

Don't worry.

He only wanted to give it to me.

Who are you?

If it still bothers you,

we should take some X-rays...

...to rule out a fracture.

- Why'd they climb up there?

- To gather eggs from a nest.

- They're hungry.

- Hungry?

We're not stacked with

provisions but there's enough.

Maybe they don't agree.

They don't have a say on this matter.

We're done.

You're rather tense.
