- Ah, she was your cousin?

- You scared her too, right?

- Who, me?

Fine! I need to find her!

Hold it! I came from

Montevideo to see you!

She'll find her way

- Where is Eurydice?

- He saw her, but she ran off

Where to?

- Answer, man!

- Don't know! That way

He'll find her

Chico!

- Chico, my love!

- You're strangling me!

No!

No! He'll kill you!

He'll kill you!

Take care of her

I am not in a hurry

We shall meet soon

So long

You are in my arms, Eurydice

I will protect you forever...

against everything

I like you, Eurydice

You will never feel

scared again... never

Chico Boto has arrived.

Do you want to stay here?

Yes

You won't be scared here.

They're great

He will protect you too.

He is a beast!

And then...

then there is me

- Let go!

- Orpheus, is that you?

Orpheus!

I swear I heard people

talking. Didn't you?

- It was the dog.

- Talking?

No. So what?

Gimme

- She is in good hands.

- Who?

- My cousin.

- Your cousin? Didn't she run off?

Dummy! Open your mouth

and close your eyes

More! More!

The dog ripped one of

the little animals

They're not animals,

they're signs of the zodiac

It's beautiful

That's where I was born.

It's my house in heaven

A baby sheep?

I'll rent the one right next to

it, so I'll always be near you

Should I?

Good night

Good night

I'll sleep outside. It's closer

to my house... and yours

Good night, Eurydice

One... two... three...

four... five

- They're playing.

- I hope they will let us sleep

Come!

Come on!

Got you!

You haven't gotten me yet

I can't

I will catch you!

Did I hurt you?

Poor thing!

- Is it still hurting?

- No. It's better

Wait!

Ah, Chico! I won, didn't I?

You always win

Zeca... Zeca!

Let's go... it's time.

Hurry! Hurry!

All right... I'm coming

It's too early to get up, boy.

Let us sleep in peace!

- Close that door!

- Yes, yes, gramma

Let's go, it's late already

What are these devils

doing at this hour?

Quiet, Caruso!

He won't find it.

We better tell him

Yeah, right! Come on, let's see

What if he's asleep?

I'll knock on the door

What did I tell you?

My happiness is dreaming

In the eyes of my girlfriend

It's like this night, passing

Seeking the dawn

Speak low, please

So she might wake up happy

Look... it's rising

Offering a kiss of love

It's true

Sadness has no end

Happiness does

Happiness is like a drop of dew

On a flower's petal

Brilliant and tranquil,

then quivering

Then falling like a tear of love

Serafina,

where is your costume?

Chico is here!

He is always hungry!

- You look beautiful!

- Wait, let me get Orpheus!

No, I'm in a hurry.

I will run ahead

Thanks

- Are you getting married today?

- Orpheus forgot
