Have you tried at

Gitano's station?

The mechanic

near the dell.

He is always looking

for someone.

In the long run, what

matters is having a job.

- The oil and the glasses.

- Here you are.

They look expensive.

Try them on.

You look like a "Man in Black".

I can't see anything.

They suit you well.

- You going to wear them out?

- No.

"EL GITANO" MECHANICS

- What do you want?

- Is the boss in?

He's having lunch.

- Can I wait for him?

- What's it about?

It's personal.

You can wait outside.

Thanks.

Listen, if you are selling...

Nobody buys anything here.

No, I am not

selling anything.

Sh*t!

Who the f*** parked

in front of the garage?

I am sorry.

I'll move it.

Didn't you see the sign?

NO PARKING:

Come in.

Quick.

Don't turn the TV up too loud.

The baby's sleeping.

Mauro, you've got

to show me that note.

I got the news.

What are you doing?

Repairing the pipe.

I'll give you a rag

to secure it.

We better change the pipe.

How much will that be?

How much can

charge you...?

It's not expensive,

I'll go buy it.

Listen, dad...

Today, they called me

back at the new gas station...

"Come, scratch this card".

I scratched it off

and I won a prize.

I won a can of oil

with a pair of glasses.

I wanted to ask them for

the money, but I couldn't.

I plan to buy the machine

with the severance pay.

Spend all your money on that...

and you'll end up broke.

If I don't make the knife

blade myself, it's not worth it.

Why don't you look for a job

doing what you're good at.

So many gas stations

are being opened.

I'll go to the Basque's

shop to get the pipe.

Otherwise, you won't

have any water.

Good morning!

Something wrong?

Hi, I really don't know.

Something must have broken,

I pulled over to check.

Don't worry!

I'll check it for you.

Thank you.

Is it serious?

No, just the fan belt.

It's broken.

And it needs to be welded, see?

They must have

welded it wrong.

That was my dad,

it's his car.

Is it easy to repair?

If I had a soldering iron...

I have one.

It's at the ranch. They are

always welding there.

It's 150 km away.

We'll have

to tow the car.

We'll have to hook

it up and tow it.

But it's 150 km.

It's not so close.

Do you have the time?

Time is what

I have most of.

Are you living in the area?

No, I am living

in Buenos Aires.

I was born in Telken.

I am from the Patagonia,

though I don't look like it.

May I smoke?

Please.

- Would you like one?

- Thanks, I don't smoke.

I want to smoke while I can...

because my mother

doesn't let me smoke.

It's unbelievable. I am 33,

and she still rags on me.

And now your dad will

rag on you about the car.

No, my dad is dead.

I am sorry.
