Nobody calls anyway.

I remember Dad used to say to you,

"Eunice, tighten your purse strings. "

Do you remember?

How I remember.

Eyeryday I remember

how your father loyed...

when I surprised him

with some cod.

He pretended to be angry,

and used to say...

"Eunice, haye you gone crazy

buying all this stuff?"

I didn't care.

I would open a bottle of wine...

and when he smelled its aroma,

dinner would become a party.

This wine was made in the Italian

yillage his parents were born.

He felt as if the wine brought

the smell of his parents.

This wine brings me back

your father, Cristina.

Ouch, my leg.

I'm going to lie down, sweetie.

Good night.

You haye no money to pay your bills.

You're paying a marriage agency?

Wake up!

Are you nuts?

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. "
