Bombón: El Perro Page #3

Don't worry. He's been dead

since a year and a half now.

And what do you do?

I used to work

at a gas station.

Now I am making

knife handles.

Knives?

Have a look, they

are in my bag.

They are beautiful.

What is it made from?

This is a special wood.

From the jungles,

in Misiones.

A friend of mine who lives

there sent me the wood.

And this one looks like a face.

It's a puma's head.

You are a real artist!

No, well...

Thank you.

I am going to see mom,

she must be very worried.

Where is the soldering iron?

It must be in the shed.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon, ma'am.

How do you do? Villegas.

A pleasure.

So my daughter has

dragged you out here.

Don't worry, ma'am.

It's not unusual.

Especially on the highway.

When she sets her

mind to something...

She's so stubborn.

She insisted on driving

to Comodoro to sell it.

If the car is not being

used, it'll get ruined.

But this is not

just any car, is it?

It's a good car.

That's why!

So you cannot sell it

just like that.

Is it complicated?

Mom, just the pulley

needs soldering.

Let the man explain it to me.

I have to solder the

pulley, and that's it.

Then I put it back and...

Is it gonna be expensive?

Because, nowadays...

I don't know yet.

We'll see to that later,

when you sell it.

To make up for the nuisance,

you must stay with us for tea.

See all these?

All homemade.

It's very difficult

to find it in the city.

It's delicious.

Dad was an expert on

red currant jam, wasn't he?

I could never make it

as good as he could.

Try the brownies.

Those there.

The recipe is

from a local family.

I'm gonna prepare

two jars of jam...

for you to take.

Well, thanks.

- And what did your husband do?

. -What didn't he do!

Everything but politics.

Yes, but he always

liked to be well-informed.

He brought the Hereford

cattle to Patagonia...

for the first time.

He created a lodge

for hunting wild boar.

He cultivated

berries.

He always had to

have a project going on,

he couldn't sit still.

But he lived a happy life,

in his own way.

The last thing was the dogs.

He wanted to build an Argentine

Dogo Kennels. For export.

But, he didn't have the time.

Have you ever seen them?

Big, white dogs.

I think so, yes.

In fact, they are

fighting dogs.

If you raise them

that way...

If not, like any creature,

they are as good as gold.

But, genetically they

were created to fight.

Nobody is born bad.

They are not bad,

but wild.

No, they are hunting animals.

Tell me,

would you like to

take one with you?

A dog?

I assure you

when you see it...

you will say yes.

The thing is lately I haven't

been doing well, economically...

and to maintain a dog...
