...who told you

the job was yours?

- Yes, I went.

- That's good news!

- Great!

- I went to close...

...the deal and she gave me

the price. It's too much.

No!

Yes, the place is great

if you can afford it.

- How much?

- A lot.

I can't pay it alone.

I need three of four more.

Oh, no!

- To pay that scandalous price?

- No! No!

I have to do it on my own.

A place like this?

It's really nice,

they have canaps.

I understand perfectly

what you're trying to say!

I think it's time

you talked to him!

- I already did.

- And?

- Just as expensive.

- No! Money, money.

- It can't be that much.

- 1,200 Euros.

That's what the night

manager told me.

Now I have to talk to

the other one today...

...I know that one better.

It's the police.

Hello? Mom?

Did you give him the check?

- No, not yet. He wasn't home.

- Mom! Try again!

How can I if he's not there?

- Where are you?

- Where am I?

The Prado Museum chatting

with girls.

- Mom!

- I didn't tell you.

There's a strange man

following me.

- What are you saying?

- His face doesn't say much.

He's strange.

I'll call you later.

Can you believe that?

He chases me!

He controls me!

- Well...

- Well...

- Shall I ask for the check?

- Yes.

- Are you paying?

- You've got nothing on you?

- No.

- Nothing at all?

Not even a Euro?

Don't worry, I'll pay.

Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

- Thank you.

- Goodbye.

It's nice and

well positioned.

I don't know.

There are others

across the street and next door.

It's across and next door,

it isn't this one.

It's a good idea.

Sorry, it's an idea

everyone has had.

The city is full

of cybercafs, Paco.

You have to have ideas

before others have them.

The same happened

with the studio and video club.

You're egging me on, Cuca.

You're a specialist.

Hugo and his cousin

are thrilled with the idea!

They loved the place.

They're waiting for us

to give some sign.

We don't only have to decide,

Paco! We need the money!

Haven't you spoken

to your father?

No, not yet.

I told you to do it

when the apartment was sold.

He had fresh money then!

I told you to do it

when he bought the new flat!

He has at least

You're a vulture.

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Bonaparte, quiet.

Bonaparte. I won't

take up much of your time.

I'm Elsa. Elsa Oviedo.

I'm your neighbor in J.

J as in Josphine.

I thought Josphine

and Napoleon...

...and Bonaparte.

- Alfredo Ponce Cabeza de Vaca.

Huh? Oh!

Some last name.

How may I help you,

Ma'am?

I'm sorry, call me Elsa. I need

to give you this check.

What's that check for?

What? Your daughter

didn't tell you?

Oh, it's the car payment.

One moment.

Excuse me?

Two headlights can't be
