I don't get why he was shocked. If anyone

did something like that to me...

Quiet, Maramba, enough already.

If you could stop talking,

maybe you'd get hungry.

Please put out your cigarette.

And take your foot off the table

while were eating.

Do you want to stay

and watch a movie, Mom?

It's late, sweetie.

If I don't say anything, how can I get you

to stop taking them to funerals?

Telepathy? That's why Mateo still

wets the bed.

I haven't taken them in a long time.

That's not what they say.

Just because you have custody...

Are you here to see the children,

or to interrogate them?

Mom, the spaghetti's tasteless.

You almost finished it anyway.

- Go.

Leave now.

Let us eat in peace.

I'd better go.

See you, sweetheart.

Be good, sweetheart.

Marambra...

Sorry. You did good.

I did good?

- Yes.

I don't need your praise.

I'm not a dog.

You turned the kids against me.

- No, Maramba, you do that yourself.

It's like it bothers you

to see me happy.

It's only with you that I find it hard

to be myself, and feel good.

Do you remember what happened

the last time you felt good?

Should I remind you?

You don't need to remind me.

Why are you laughing?

At least I laugh.

And I like seeing people smile.

I'm happy if I'm happy

and depressed if I'm depressed.

I just wanted to...

I love you.

I love you, I said.

Yes, me too.

You don't have any money on you?

A little more?

- No.

Maybe, now that you're selling the grave...

- Who told you that?

Tito.

- When did you see him?

Don't start, please. I gave him

a massage. He had a sore lower back.

It's not a grave, it's a niche.

But...

Nobody told me to fast.

Maybe...

it threw off the results.

No, sorry.

Fasting is merely a formality.

What now?

- Excuse me?

How...

I would like to know

what's going to happen.

It depends on how your body

responds to chemotherapy.

In your case,

it's been so long--

that it has metastasized from

prostate to bone and liver.

Which means...

But how long?

Roughly how long?

With medical treatment

we can maintain your quality of life--

for a few months.

Months?

Dad, I learned a trick.

Think of a country

that starts with D.

Dad, look at me.

Ready?

- Yes.

Now think of an animal

that starts with I.

Hippopotamus doesn't start with I.

Are you ready?

- Yes.

You're guaranteed to be thinking

of iguana and Denmark.

How'd you know?

Dad, how do you spell

"beautiful"?

Just the way it sounds.

- As in?

Biu-ti-ful.

No, it's nothing, don't worry.

Just get the kids,

and take them home to your place.

I don't know.

Until I'm released.

In a couple of days, probably.

Times are hard.

We'll stop making bags

and copying movies.
