Plenty of space for yourself.

No, no, really,

thank you.

Okay, okay, I'll let you go.

Let's go.

- Start raining. come on.

- Okay.

Gracias. Pura vida.

I'm just wondering,

you're planning to see

other beautiful things

in Costa Rica,

maybe the whole eco tour, yes?

Yeah, I guess so.

I have a van,

and I do all places:

Arenal, volcano, waterfall,

the orchids.

I could make you good deal.

I'm not really sure

of my schedule right now.

Okay, okay, I understand.

Can I give you my number

just in case if you decide?

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

Pura vida.

What's the point?

The good moments never last.

I have no one to blame

for this separation but myself.

It's as if I received a shot

that forever numbed me.

Only I gave myself that shot.

Jane?

Jane, it's Juan,

the tour guide.

Please go away.

I'm very busy.

Uh, please,

I don't want to bother,

but I needed

to talk with you.

I... told you...

if I needed a guide,

I would call you.

Please, Jane, please.

It's gonna be just a minute.

Oh...

Jane, please.

We could sit just out here.

Yes?

I want to apologize

for being churlish on your tour.

You weren't churlish.

No, I think I was.

Churlish would mean

you were vulgar.

You weren't vulgar.

Well, but I was difficult

to work or deal with

in the moments when

I did not give you space,

so I was a little churlish.

Well, I didn't think so.

That's not why you're here.

Uh, no, no, no.

Ohh...

I didn't want to bother you,

but you do need a guide,

and my situation

is not too good.

I told you about my daughter

in the American school.

She's doing so great,

really great,

but the tourists have slowed

down here with your economy.

- You know this problem?

- Yes.

I know money may not

be easy for you, but...

you came to see Costa Rica

planning to hire a guide,

am I right?

Yeah, I guess so.

And it would just help me a lot

with my daughter's school

if I could be

your personal guide.

Do you understand me?

Yes, but I've changed my mind.

I just... I wanna stay here

at the hotel and rest.

Oh, but...

But you can't do that here.

I saw how your face lights up

when you see

all the amazing things.

You just can't come

to Costa Rica and rest.

How much money do you need

for the school?

I'm sorry,

but it's not your worry.

Please, it's okay.

Just tell me how much.

About $500.

Okay, I'll give you the money.

You would just give me $500

for nothing?

It's for your daughter's school.

No, no, I can't take it.

Please.

I want you to have it.

- No, please, Jane.

- It's okay.

No, no, no, I didn't come

for a charity gift.

No. Ehh...

Only if I give you

another tour.

That's the only way

that it's right.
