Kiss of the Spider Woman Page #4

If you think like that,

you'll never change anything

in this world.

Now look who's living in a fantasy.

You call this fantasy?

I'm so sorry.

Someday the struggle will be won.

Don't worry, Valentin.

You'll have your day.

I'm sure.

Great.

I'm starving.

Here.

No. You take this one.

It has twice as much.

Sure.

Because those bastards

want us to fight over it.

Take it.

No, you need it more than I do.

Please. Please.

To build your strength.

Don't argue.

Take it!

May I have a spoon?

Thanks.

What's the matter?

Afraid of getting fat?

No.

This glue is not so bad today.

No.

Valentin?

When I said you should write

your girlfriend,

I also meant you should tell her

that you love her.

It's so nice to get a letter

from someone that you love.

Are you crazy?

A letter would be like

denouncing her to them.

The only reason I'm still alive

is because they want

some information from me.

And if anyone tries to save me,

they'd hide my arrest

by killing me on the spot.

Valentin, please.

Just don't say things like that.

The same thing could be happening

to her right now.

You love her very much, don't you?

Love should always come first.

That's great.

Now I'd like to eat in peace!

Don't worry.

I won't disturb you.

Oh.

What is it now?

It's my mother.

She must really be in bad shape,

or she'd come visit me with groceries.

This happened once before.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, I told you she was sick,

but of course you weren't paying

any attention.

But that's not what I'm crying about.

So what is it, for Christ's sake?

Because it's so beautiful...

when lovers are together

for a lifetime.

Why is it so impossible?

You got to be crazy crying

about something like that.

I will cry about whatever I want to.

Valentin, do you think

you're the only one who's suffered?

You think it's easy to find a real man?

One who's humble

and yet has dignity.

How many years

have I been searching?

How many nights?

How many faces filled

with scorn and deceit?

I mean, you know,

working as a window dresser --

enjoyable as it is --

sometimes, at the end of the day,

you wonder what it's all about.

You feel kind of... empty inside.

Then one night...

What?

It's something new

she just invented herself,

which she calls it La Chikka-Chakka.

And she goes, "Chikka-chakka,

chikka-chakka."

And it's an overnight sensation!

Next day she's in all newspaper,

and her husband becomes so jealous

because he thinks she's nuts.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Would you care for the daily special,

or would you like to order a la carte?

I haven't decided yet.

Okay. Right.

My heart was pounding,

so afraid that I would be hurt
