Central Station Page #3

All by himself. See!

Hey, wasn't he a...?

And what do you want to do?

I want to be a truck driver.

My father and her father used to

drive those great, big trains.

Two soaks too. They really were.

Everything ok, Josue?

What are you doing?

You can read?

I know.

You're thinking I wasn't

going to send your mother's letter.

Well, you're wrong.

I've been having a bad time

recently

and I didn't have time to mail it.

I'll take it to my father.

Give it to me!

What's that? Are you crazy?

Do you know where he lives,

by any chances?

He lives thousands of miles away.

He lives on another planet.

I'll deliver it to him.

You'll never get there.

Let me mail it tomorrow.

It's better that way.

I swear I will.

Do you promise to swear?

I swear I promise.

You're not gonna lie again.

No.

Where are we going?

You're going to a great place.

Ok?

Good morning, Mr. Pedrao!

Good morning, Miss Dora!

Hi there, sonny! You are late.

Hi, Pedrao!

Hi! Come on in! Hi!

Yolanda, this is Miss Dora.

Nice to meet you, miss Dora.

I don't know what he told you

but, as you can see,

we treat our children

as if they were ours.

They're all going to live

with rich families

in Europe, or the States.

Josue will be wealthy

when he grows up.

But you won't forget us, will you?

Now show that pretty little tongue

to your auntie...

Show it!

You can be rude as you like.

Stick out that little tongue

of yours...

I would just like to know

a few things first.

But of course! We'll have a nice,

long talk in just a few minutes.

What did you say your name was?

Josue.

And so, Josue?

Do you like video games?

And what do you think about

an ice cream to go with it?

No. Thank you.

Why don't you go

and play over there?

This is yours. Pedrao told you

how much, didn't he?

He did.

$2,000.

$1,000 is yours.

$1,000

That's right

bye-bye, Josue.

Bye.

Good heavens!

We have now entered the age of

the "remote control"!

Is it stereo?

Yes, except that it doesn't work.

Maybe it's the battery.

What about Josue? How did it go

at the juvenile court?

Fine. He's going to the

best juvenile institution there is.

I talked to the judge.

Which institution?

The Father Jesuino Vidal Foundation

down south in Pelotas.

All the way down south in Pelotas?

I thought he'd stay round here

so we could visit him

At least you'll get to see Pelotas!

You love traveling...

It just doesn't work.

No, Dora. Here you go.

Is he still down there?

I'd like to see him.

No, I don't think so. He must be

on his way to Pelotas by now.

Where did you get the money from

to buy that?

A gold ring I sold some time ago.

You're lying!

You'd never justify anything
