Nice? She's an old hag,

that Argentinean.

Enough with the hag

and Argentinean.

Who cares where

she was born?

Dad, she didn't even pay

her insurance.

You should've seen

how she treated her son!

She exploits him!

You're wrong about that, too.

She's the one that helps him.

He's a widower,

he's unemployed...

...and has five kids.

- Five kids?

Yes, five.

Well, how did that thing

with the premises go?

It's for a business

we want to start.

A cybercaf that is

already up and going.

We'd only have to pay

for the lease and sale.

Hugo, a friend and cousin

of Paco...

...will go into business

together...

...and we want to propose

that you get in on it too.

It's a great business, Alfredo.

An opportunity.

Yes, and you wouldn't have

to worry about anything!

Well, only about

giving a bit of money.

How much would I have

to give?

Sixty thousand.

Actually,

we need ninety thousand.

Obviously, we'd take care

of the work, don't worry.

I don't know.

I'd have to think about it.

Look, Dad, we really

need you to help us out.

If we don't start

our own business...

...it'll be really hard

for us to make a living.

It's been a while since

Paco had a job...

...and it's not only for us,

it's for Javier, as well.

We have to think

about his future.

I haven't said no.

Just let me think about it.

Of course. Naturally.

Hello?

Alfredo! Hello,

it's your neighbor Elsa.

I'm in flat J.

J as in Josphine.

Oh, it's you!

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

I wanted to thank you

for your kind gesture.

Yes, you've already

thanked me.

It's nothing.

Well, that's the first

thing I called for...

... and second, I do have to

because it was a grand gesture.

Tell me, have you had dinner?

I hardly eat at night, actually.

Yes, I know,

you snack, right?

Some cheese, ham.

I was planning... thinking

of something more formal.

Some good liqueur,

a bit of coffee...

...I don't know,

whatever you like.

It's not necessary.

Alfredo, you're being

a bit rude to me.

Don't tell me it's too late...

...because I was looking

at your room window...

...and you had your lights on

yesterday till late, Alfredo!

I may be rude, but you're

a bit indiscreet.

Alfredo, you didn't answer me.

About the proposal

with good liqueur and coffee.

You don't know how

important it is to me!

Alfredo, let me thank you.

Okay.

All right.

Very well,

I'll see you here.

Goodbye.

He's so difficult.

That's me in the picture!

When I was young.

If you'd met me

fifty years ago...

...it wouldn't be hard

for you to believe.

Really.

We were so alike.

I didn't have a tummy,

now it's really big...

...we were the same height,

she was platinum blond...
