Hey, miss!

I'll pay for the wash.

You need a coffee.

Give me an espresso.

How would you like it?

When my soul

Was in the lost and found

You came along to claim it '

- Hi, good morning.

- Good morning.

I'm bringing this car to Sonia...

I don't know her last name.

Sonia Bunster.

She said to tell her when you arrived.

Please park on Level 4,

Parking Space 5.

She'll come and pick up the car.

- She wants me to wait down there?

- Yes, she said so.

[SIGHS]

Hello.

Hello, Sonia.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Hello.

- How are you?

I've been wondering how you

look for about a year.

It's different face-to-face.

Of course.

As you can see, ma'am:

Flesh and bones.

Yes, it's just that...

...I can't imagine Orlando being with you.

That's all.

Ah.

And don't call me "ma'am."

- Uh, here are the car keys.

- Ah. Thanks.

The documents are in

the glove compartment.

- Okay. Excuse me.

- Yes.

Complicated.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[MUMBLES]

Really complicated.

Total quantum physics.

[SONIA SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[COUGHS]

I won't talk about

the apartment now, but...

[SONIA COUGHS]

Try to hand it over as soon

as you can, okay? Hand it over.

- That's it.

- Thanks.

[SIGHS]

Sonia, I'm really sorry about all of this.

What are you sorry about?

The entire soap opera,

or this episode in particular?

No, about how things turned out.

Yeah.

You know, when I married Orlando...

...I was 38.

And we were really normal. We were--

We had a normal life.

Ahem. So when he...

...came and explained to me...

...l...

I thought...

Sorry if it's crude

and blunt of me to say this...

...but I really think

that this is just perversion.

Sorry, but...

When I look at you,

I don't know what I'm seeing.

A chimera, that's what I see.

A chimera.

Sorry.

There's no need to be sorry.

You're normal, ma'am.

MARINA:

Hmm?

You're fine, ma'am.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello, Sonia.

- Hello, Pablo.

- How are you?

- Me, I'm fine. And you?

Fine, thanks.

Great.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Thanks.

SONIA:
Bye.

PABLO:
Bye.

You know my 7-year-old daughter will be

at the wake this afternoon?

Yes.

And I'd love to know where it'll be.

I know how to be discreet.

Don't even think about going.

I have the right
