Julieta Page #4
Lorenzo raps on the door. Julieta opens the apartment
door, more rigid than usual and looking as if she’s had
a bad night. Lorenzo comes into the hall. From the
outset he notices that something is amiss. He just has
to look at Julieta. They greet each other with a
routine kiss on the mouth.
LORENZO:
Are you all right?
As an answer…
JULIETA:
I’m boiling some water…
She goes off to the kitchen, followed by Lorenzo.
LORENZO:
I called you last night and you
didn’t answer.
JULIETA:
I needed to be alone.
Lorenzo looks around as far as he can see. Everything
is tidy, there is no sign of suitcases or cardboard
boxes.
LORENZO:
What about the cases… and the
boxes? Don’t tell me you still
haven’t finished.
JULIETA:
I’ve unpacked everything. I’m
staying in Madrid, Lorenzo.
LORENZO:
Are you joking?
Lorenzo knows that she isn’t, he looks at her
questioningly. Julieta is concentrating on making the
tea.
LORENZO:
But that’s ridiculous!
Julieta looks at him in silence. It isn’t ridiculous.
JULIETA:
I won’t be able to go with you.
LORENZO:
(Alarmed) But what’s happened?
She fills her cup with hot water, the teabag is in
there. She sweetens it with agave syrup.
JULIETA:
I know you don’t deserve this, but
I beg you not to ask me any
questions. I’m not going with you
to Portugal. I’m staying in
Madrid.
Silence, broken by Lorenzo.
LORENZO:
And you’re not going to give me
any explanation?!
Silence. Julieta takes a deep breath.
LORENZO:
What’s going on, Julieta?
JULIETA:
I’ve given it a lot of thought
and…
LORENZO:
(Interrupting her) Don’t tell me
you hadn’t thought about it until
now! We’ve been planning this for
almost a year!
Julieta looks at him, mortified.
LORENZO:
Just yesterday you said “I’d like
not to come back to Madrid if I
can help it”! What’s happened so
suddenly?
Julieta is still struggling with herself. But it’s
obvious she has taken an irrevocable decision.
JULIETA:
(Weak and decisive) Don’t insist,
please.
He glares at her. Lorenzo’s mouth has gone dry, his
palate is sticky.
LORENZO:
Can I have a glass of water?
Julieta takes a bottle from the refrigerator and pours
him a glass of water in silence. Lorenzo drinks from
the glass, thinking about what to say to her.
LORENZO:
I don’t recognize you, Julieta.
You’re behaving like a lunatic…
JULIETA:
I know.
LORENZO:
(Powerless) I can’t believe we’re
talking about this!
JULIETA:
Last night I realized that I was
fooling myself, that I don’t want
to leave Madrid, and… that I
prefer to be alone. I’m sorry.
