she is married...

No, she says she needs to know

you better to prepare the case...

That's what they all say...

Wait... 2 minutes and Im there...

Hey, did you know that the guy that

came with her wants to go out with me...

- Are you leaving me for a lawyer?

- No...

You are missing on it...

I see it quite well...

Your leg...

Well, yes... it moves...

Let's see... This is going to be easy.

You only need to answer

with your heart...

With the head, you mean...

With the head. You don't

mind if I record it, right?

Let's begin with your

youth, before your accident.

What did you do then?

Is that necessary? I

had forgot all about it.

Is your memory that bad?

No. I just thought we would

talk about my suicide demand...

We will Ramon. Is just that is very...

...important that the

judge identifies with you...

...and that he understands you.

For that I need to know who

is Ramon Sampedro and who he was...

That way, you will use

it against me later.

You are such a Galician!

- I'm your lawyer, Im on your side

- Ok...

When I was 19, I packed my

things and I went around the world...

I was doing that for a couple

of years, until the accident...

Wait, wait. You went around

the world with only 20 years?

You just don't know how. Ship mechanic.

I always tell my nephew. To travel

without money, become a sailor.

What?

Looking for proof?

No, is that I can't see a

single picture of you around here...

How were you in your younger years?

Why? Am I so ugly now, or what?

Ok, I won't ask you

anything else. That's it...

You don't like looking

into the past, right?

Of course not, I look into the future.

- And what is the future for you?

- Death, just like for you...

Don't you think about death? I'm

not the only one who thinks about it.

Yes, yes. Of course I think about it...

I just try that it doesn't

become my only thought...

Tomorrow is going to rain...

Tomorrow is going to rain...

I think he whistled...

- I didn't hear a thing

- Yes, he did...

- What do you want?

- The game already started...

But you know I don't like soccer...

Why don't you watch it downstairs...

Hey, if you want to convince me you...

...need to give me a

rational justification...

The "Depor" is playing...

That is not a rational justification...

- But it is important

- Why?

Because it is decisive for the league.

If they loose this one, they

can only make it to second place...

OK, turn it on...

- Can you see?

- Yes...

Did you hear him whistle too?

Ramon told me you

asked about the pictures...

Yes...

There's gotta be one somewhere...

I'll look for them tomorrow

Thanks...

If you need more blankets,

look in the closet...
