Or the paths I haven't walked,

or anything, or anyone...

I love you.

I miss you,

I dream of you, I wait for you,

I can't live without your kisses.

My life is no life

if you're not inside me.

I love you,

I miss you,

I dream of you, I wait for you,

I'm dying just to see you.

How could I not love you, my love,

my love, I don't want to lose you.

Virginia Acosta,

from Vina del Mar,

has requested Jeanette's

"Why Are You Leaving?"

When you had your surgery,

did they use a general anesthetic

or an epidural?

Epidural...

I think it's general too.

The other kind is local, isn't it?

The one they used with me

is the kind that goes in the IV...

...and gradually, they start

adding more anesthetic.

Not like when I was a boy,

and I had surgery,

and they used chloroform.

I'm a little...

What's the word...?

- Claustrophobic.

- Oh, right.

- The nurse put the mask on my face...

- That's how they did it.

I put up a fight,

and she called other two nurses,

so three nurses

were pinning me down...

- How horrible.

- I started to drift off.

They called me

"chicken, chicken, chicken... "

"Anesthesia" means that

all your senses are blocked.

- Right...

- Yes.

My daughter Ana

explained it to me.

But "Ana" doesn't mean that...

- No?

- No.

What does it mean?

"Ana" means...

"To sit gracefully".

- Is that right?

- Yes.

Do I look like

I'm "seated gracefully" now?

Look...

You look great.

Thanks.

...and to have more love

for this country,

to recover our love for this country,

and not stay in our houses...

That's hard.

It's hard to love it.

But why, my dear?

Because

so many things have happened that...

what Chile used to be

now seems like a ghost,

as if that Chile were dead,

and what was built afterwards

is a kind of replica of something

that's being devised

in some other part of the world,

where the driving force

is just greed.

There aren't any leaders anymore.

- No.

- There aren't any leaders.

What are you going to do?

If it's about politicians

who are up there,

and they're the ones governing,

the ones that were chosen.

- We have to look to young people.

- Yes, I was thinking the other day

that they're not being

considered at all!

- The people are being...

- They've been robbed, they're outraged.

People consider that all of this...

has been an abuse.

And if you go to the doctor,

you have to pay a fortune,

if you have an accident,

you have to pay a fortune,

excuse me for being

self-referential but...

- No, it's the truth!

- It's the truth! You understand?

As a sociologist,

you must see it every day.

And you, in your store, you see

that people have had enough!
