Even the Rain Page #3

With what?

With gold. Here.

It isn't very big.

Captain.

Alberto, can you tell us

about your character?

Well, my character is

Bartolome de las Casas.

He came to the lndies when he was 18

to take charge of a plantation

and the Indian slaves who worked there.

But later, traumatized

by the massacres he witnessed,

he devoted his life to the Indians.

He became a Dominican.

He was nearly murdered twice.

On his deathbed --

and I'm quoting verbatim.

Don't laugh, listen.

He said,

"I condemn the blindness

of those who ignore the genocide

and give orders to the world".

This guy was the father

of international law,

and I'm only in eight scenes!

And you, Juan?

I play Antonio Montesinos.

Sebastin gave me 20 books to read,

but I'm not a reader like him.

My character isn't

as famous as Bartolome,

but he's more important.

He's more important than Bartolome

because I was the first to intercede

for the Indians.

I was the one who started everything

and gave that famous sermon --

"I am the voice of Christ

in the desert of this island,

and you are in mortal sin!"

That was me.

Daniel, can you tell me

what made you do this film?

What do you mean?

What did you like about your character?

Maybe he represents native resistance

or shows colonization

from a different angle?

He just wants the money!

What?

He just wants the money!

Do you have love scenes?

How many girls do you kiss?

Do you have to strip off?

A little squirt like you!

No, guys.

What are you digging?

We're running out of water here,

and between all of us, we've bought --

See that hill?

We bought a well there,

and now we're digging a ditch.

It's about 7 kilometers long.

-7 kilometers?

-Yes, 7 kilometers.

We're digging a ditch to bring

the pipeline along the hillside

and have water here.

Why are you here?

We're making a documentary

about the film.

You're asking a lot of questions.

Daniel, don't trust her.

Here come the bastards.

They're stopping.

They've stopped. What do they want?

What the f*** do you want here?

What are you looking for?

What are you looking for here?

What are you looking for?

-How do you say "food"?

-Mikuna.

-How do you say "It was delicious"?

-Ancha miski.

How do you say "I love you?"

Anchata munaiki.

-And "wine"?

-Vino also.

-And "water"?

-Yaku.

I'll have some yaku.

Nothing like getting into character.

God bless you, Father.

Why not fill a plastic bag

with the leftovers from this meal,

which costs more

than what they earn in a month,

and give it to them,

so their scrawny children

can gobble it up like starving rodents!

Then you'll feel like a real missionary.

Antn, relax. It's Saturday night.
