Madrid, 1987 Page #4

---

I'd better be going.

No.

That wouldn't be better.

But I understand.

I've always tried to catch with my net

the biggest fish life has to offer.

But my net is old now,

and broken.

And the fish,

even the ones I don't care about,

escape through the holes.

Some day you might know

what this feels like.

As a writer or as a person.

If you do, I'd like you

to remember today

with a forgiving smile.

At least he tried, you'll say.

Before...

when something important happened to me,

I'd rush off to write about it.

Now I'd happily stop writing

if only something would happen to me.

What gets me most is that nothing

will happen here today.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I should have known

the moment I saw your jeans.

Jeans were invented

to not be taken off all day

To take the horse to the stable

and run cattle in the valley.

In movies cowboys even sleep

in their jeans.

Theyre no good for a striptease.

That's why they carry their guns

on the outside.

I'm applauding on the inside.

A little music would help.

No, music gets in the way.

In movies it's like a traffic signal

for the audience.

So they know when to cry,

when to be scared...

I know exactly

how I'm supposed to feel right now.

The gorilla has awaken.

Thanks to you.

Coming?

I'll go wash it off.

Don't move.

You're crazy, you know that?

The gorilla fell asleep again.

It's freezing!

I hate cold water.

It reminds me of my childhood.

I think I'm gonna die.

The gorilla won't survive this.

I'm leaving.

Don't be angry.

Leave, now.

Yeah, I feel a little strange here.

That's...

That's worse than a cold shower.

It won't open.

It won't open.

It won't open...

Here, let me.

You're kidding me.

How absurd.

Why did you close it?

How should I know

doors are meant to be closed?

And opened.

It has to open.

Let me.

Is it stuck?

God damn it.

It's stuck.

Yeah, I know.

Come on, help me.

Let's see.

Okay, take it easy.

One, two and three!

There's no way.

Give me a minute.

Hold on a second.

Hold on a second...

it'll open...

One second, let me...

What's so funny?

I don't know.

It's ridiculous.

I know it's ridiculous.

You don't have to tell me.

Try calling your friend.

Sure.

Go ahead, pass me the phone.

Hello?

Is anybody there?

We're locked in here!

What are you doing?

Somebody has to open the door.

You'll cause a scandal.

What scandal?

Somebody will hear us.

What do we tell them?

To open the door.

And call the fire department.

Hold on.

There must be a less scandalous option.

Let's see.

Are you hurt?

Let's just say

I don't kick doors down

very often.

Yeah, I can see that.

This is absolutely insane.
