Mondays in the Sun Page #2
Monday.
If I may, Your Honor,
I'll read the statement
in which,
on November 4 of this year,
in accordance
with the decision
adopted by this court,
and sentenced to pay
compensation to the claimant
for breaking the streetlight,
located eight meters
from the shipyard entrance.
That was accepted at the time
without any argument.
But we would
like it to be seen
in the context of the labor dispute
prevailing at the time,
a lockout and the layoff
of 200 workers,
among them, my client,
which meant that he
and many others
joined the demonstrations
with which we are all familiar
and which ended
with regrettable confrontations
between the workers
and the police.
- Bastards.
- Consider, therefore,
the events surrounding
the incident
asked to pay compensation.
But it wasn't
the streetlight's fault.
That's true, Your Honor.
But it was badly placed.
So it's all the fault
of whoever put it there.
Perhaps...
like that, Your Honor.
Counsel, this is the third time
we've heard this case.
What is the compensation
being demanded?
- 8,000 pesetas, Your Honor.
- 8,000 pesetas.
How can I pay it?
How can I pay it?
They laid me off.
And now they want me
to pay 8,000 pesetas.
What is this?
I pay them for laying me off?
Well, now you pay for it.
A lousy streetlight.
No, it was an Urban Swimlight.
I won't pay it.
Santa, this was
the third hearing.
You know what
the fourth means.
Do you know, or not?
What do you think?
It isn't a matter
of cheap or expensive.
It's cheap for you?
Fine.
But not for me.
Is Jose ugly
or handsome?
That depends too.
His wife might like him.
The 8,000 pesetas, for example.
What are they worth?
- In euros?
- In pesetas.
What are 8,000 pesetas
worth in pesetas?
- 8,000 pesetas.
- No.
No. You see?
For me, morally,
they're worth much more.
- 10,000?
- Much more. 10 million.
More. 100,000 million.
How can 8,000 pesetas
be worth 100,000 million?
- Morally. I said morally.
- All right, morally.
It still doesn't seem expensive.
It must be great
to be on TV.
Imagine presenting
a program.
You go on, talk a bit of rubbish,
and live like a king.
- You know what he gets paid?
- I was on TV once.
In an ad,
when I was a kid.
I was a good-looking kid.
What was it for?
A soft drink. "Bubbles."
Remember it?
Orange and lemon flavor.
"Bubbles"?
Doesn't ring a bell.
- They went bankrupt very soon.
- Sh*t, Lino!
"Bubbles."
Never heard of it.
Give me another.
It's your fourth, Jose.
Don't worry, I'll pay you.
That's not what I meant.
