(0.00 / 0 votes)All the monkeys
were back in their cages...
in time for the matinee.
The circus will be in town
two more weeks.
Thanks to early morning
rush hour fog...
twenty-three cars, four trucks,
and one bike...
were in a massive fender bender.
Luckily, no serious injuries.
Highway patrol reports traffic
moving briskly.
It's seven o'clock. Here's
a recap of today's top stories.
On his second day in office...
President Romero fulfilled
He announced the formation...
of a commission
The commission will investigate
acts of torture and murder...
that took place
between 1975 and 1980...
under the military junta.
Rumors swept the capital
about who will be named...
to chair the controversial
and powerful committee.
Attorney Gerardo Escobar,
civil rights activist...
and on the short list
for Minister of Justice...
met with the president
for an hour this afternoon.
...president's office
has refused to comment.
Informed sources said...
Mr. Escobar has accepted
the committee chairmanship.
In other news, as expected,
President Romero appoint...
Quite sure you won't come in?
No, thanks.
Home and a hot bath.
Me, too. Sorry for the trouble.
- No problem.
- Then why not drop in someday?
Thanks again and good-bye.
You know it's crazy...
I never introduced myself.
Gerardo Escobar.
Dr. Roberto Miranda.
Nice to meet you.
If you're ever passing...
- Escobar the lawyer?
- That's right.
It's OK. It's me!
- Power's out. Again.
- Sh*t.
Did you have an accident?
A flat in this.
Can you believe it?
What a nightmare.
You want a towel?
Oh, God.
Who was that?
It was the guy
who stopped to help me.
I practically threw myself
in front of his car.
He didn't have a lot of choice.
You made a lovely dinner.
I'm sorry.
I was going to be here on time.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Not your fault.
Stop apologizing.
It's only chicken.
Why are you wet?
I was looking for you...
patiently awaiting my captain's
return from the sea.
It blew out about a mile
past the lighthouse.
Right in the middle of nowhere.
Be a good girl.
How'd the meeting go?
that shore road is.
Seriously,
if that guy hadn't come along...
I'd still be stuck.
- He has a house here?
- Yeah, on Salt Pond.
Really was very good of him.
He went way out of his way
to take me home.
This suit is completely ruined.
What a nightmare.
The phones are out, too.
Sh*t.
I have to call a tow truck.
We have no car.
He drove me to a gas station,
but it was closed.
I don't want to leave it
out there.
Anything could happen.
Thanks.
You're not having any?
I ate.
I was hungry. I'm sorry.
Now you're apologizing...
but you're apologizing
for the wrong reasons.
When you get a flat tire...
most people...
actually all people...
go to their trunk and get what?
An interrogation...
A spare tire.
Uh-huh. A spare tire.
In the pouring rain,
wearing their best suit...
they jack up the car,
remove the flat...
getting dirtier until,
after a grueling struggle...
they finally put the spare on.
This is a brilliant narrative,
full of surprises.
I didn't know that
all people who change tires...
wear their best suits.
Just the classy jerks, like me.
only to watch it sag.
You had two blowouts?
No. You're not listening to me.
The spare was flat.
You didn't notice it was flat
until you'd put it on?
Well, that was dumb.
So, your conclusion is
I was dumb?
