Elsa & Fred Page #4

that expensive!

Even if they're imported!

It can't be!

What are you implying,

Ma'am?

I'm not implying,

I'm saying...

...that when I see this...

With 1,470 Euros...

...I could feed my five

grandchildren a month!

Not even a month!

Two months!

They're five children.

They lost their mother.

Their father's a widower

that doesn't work...

...and now this.

- Your daughter passed away?

Yes. No, thankfully

not my daughter...

...my daughter-in-law.

She was a lovely girl.

The family was wrecked.

I help...

...but with my pension

and my other son's help...

...it's very little.

And the youngest one

is sick.

He has a strange disease.

It's a rare virus.

Just what we needed,

another disgrace.

Anyway...

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry too,

believe me.

Is that your wife

in the picture?

Yes.

Are you a widower,

by any chance?

I'm a widow.

How about you?

Seven months.

Oh, seven months

is very recent.

The first year isn't easy,

believe me.

Well, then...

Well...

- Good day.

- Good day, Ma'am.

Cold bastard.

- Elsa.

- What did I forget?

This.

If you need the money...

No, I can't accept this.

Your daughter was

short with me.

Don't listen to Cuca.

She is...

...very temperamental,

but she's a good girl.

- Cuca?

- Yes, her name is Alicia...

...but we call her Cuca.

No, I can't. Take it.

Keep it and you can

pay me back when you can.

I'll give my daughter the money

so she'll give it a break.

What's really important now

are the grandchildren.

You're an angel!

You're not at all like Cuco!

I know her name's Cuca.

It was a bad joke.

You didn't like it,

obviously.

- I didn't mean to offend you.

- No, you didn't.

Alfredo.

Thank you.

That girl must take

after her mother...

...because that widower

is delightful.

Why are you here, Mom?

I waited for you

half an hour. Get in.

Okay.

Tell me, how it went

with the bar owner.

Fine, fine, fine.

We talked a lot

about the paintings...

...but I don't know.

- What?

I haven't an Euro...

...so I'll have to throw

my paintings in the river...

No! You won't have

to throw anything away!

Look.

No! No questions!

Here.

Don't tell your brother,

either!

My dear old woman.

Don't call me old,

either.

They're from Mallorca.

They're from Mallorca.

Just how you like them.

You went all the way there?

No, I went to Velazquez street,

but they're good.

- We don't have a car, Alfredo.

- Here, Dad. It's your decaf.

By the way, did that

Argentinean give you a check?

No.

What do you mean?!

I talked to her son!

She brought the money

in cash.

I had a feeling that woman

would scam us.

Your feeling was wrong.

She brought the money.

And Mrs. Elsa is very nice.
