He told me that nothing
ever happened,
but he had her number
in his cell phone.
And she phoned him
in the middle of our fight.
He started with his nonsense.
He's a compulsive liar.
It's like a disease.
Did you break up with him?
No.
May I have the remote?
Just porn channels, I'm sure.
There was another time, too.
What?
How?
Tell me.
He was a hitchhiker.
It happened in Chilln.
How's that?
I had tried to break up with Rodrigo
something like 20 times.
And couldn't.
Well, one day,
after a huge fight, we broke up.
Seriously.
I did some thinking then.
I decided to use
all my vacation time,
changed my cell phone number.
I excluded him from every directory.
I had to get away from the city.
I told my grandma I was going
to the beach with a girlfriend,
but it was a lie.
I went South.
When my bus was near Chilln,
it stopped.
I went out for a smoke.
Then a guy approached me
and asked for a light.
I handed him my lighter.
He looked at me.
I looked at him.
I put out my cigarette
and left with him.
Really?
We went to a motel.
There we kissed each other.
I'm sure he noticed
how nervous I was.
He asked me what was the matter.
And I told him about Rodrigo.
He did something
Rodrigo never would.
He put me to bed, fixed my covers,
touched my hair,
and told me a story
till I fell asleep.
He was a complete stranger.
Someone I had no ties with,
whatsoever.
And he treated me as if I were
the most important thing to him.
Can we turn down
the air-conditioner?
I'm cold.
Did you see that movie?
No.
I've got a theory about movies.
There's a common memory
implicit in the movies.
Just consider the number
of aesthetic approaches and films.
and pile them in sets.
As spectators,
we too belong in one of those sets.
That's the clue.
For instance, someone who watches
Hgh Fdelty and then Magnola.
Or who simply likes that aesthetic.
And that's okay.
Or let me see another.
Someone who watches
TaxDrver.
Reservor Dogs.
State of Grace.
Fargo.
Et cetera.
That person also belongs in a set.
Set B.
Makes sense.
It's okay.
Imagine someone who watches
Almodvar's Atame and then...
...Dr. Doolttle or Before the Ran
and then Naked Gun...
...and then watches...
What could that be?
Something not related in any way.
That person belongs
to no set at all.
There's no aesthetic identity there.
There's something wrong
with that person.
Look, I used to date a girl
who had seen every action film.
Stallone, Schwarzenegger.
Fine!
But she belongs in a given set.
But one day she invited me
to a Godard film, Vvre sa Ve.
Suspicious, to say the least.
