...we come to conciliation, so we don't

waste time with polemics, etc.

We must be realistic. Realistic! If we can

continue this legal action, we could get...

more money, but the time it takes!

The time! That's the problem.

This could take years, two,

three, four. Who knows?

The best thing is to find conciliation.

So in three or four weeks,

you'll have the money.

Three, four...?

Weeks... So we could have an advance?

Just sign the papers and I'm authorized

by the company to solve this at once.

- It's best to do so, I think.

- I agree... Alright, doctor.

Mario! How are you?

Take in the beers I've brought!

- They're friends working with me.

- I know.

- Get the beer at the van!

- Give us some help, will ya?

You've brought the beer quickly, huh?

- Here it's lacking materials.

- No, we're short of time.

In a couple of months, I'll have

a bedroom and the kitchen ready.

I'll get three sand trucks to you...

And some fifty sacks of cement.

With all that, you can finish this.

- How was it yesterday?

- Well. - Yeah?

- Do you think it'll work out?

- It will! I tell you so.

The lawyer said you were great.

That's what you gotta do, I tell ya.

Everything will be fine.

Well done, boy! Well done.

- Let's eat!

- Want some beer?

- Beer, Mario?

- I'll have it.

The lawyers asked him to solve

something, and he's doing so.

- For our good.

- But what is it?

Some problem, and the lawyer

asked me to talk to him.

- Which problem?

- Don't meddle!

We're both solving this

with the company.

But I just asked what it was.

I don't think it's the time

to talk about it. Let's eat!

Let's drink! Let's have a party.

Not talk about this. I'll explain it.

I just asked, never mind it...

I wanted to know what happened.

- I told you so, it's not the time.

- That's not an answer.

- Stop talking to me

in that tone.

- You're saying I have

nothing to do with it.

If it's a problem for my

husband, it's mine too.

- Who owns this house?

- This house is ours, I mean...

Something so irrelevant! I just

asked, I have the right to an answer!

It's our problem, I have

the right to know, don't I?

- Laura, don't get upset...

- No, who's getting upset?!

I just want an answer!

- There's no answer!

What you mean

there's no answer, dad?!

Do you think I'm a child?!

A "retard"?! I'm not!

I demand an answer!

I'm not like my mother!

- You'll never be!

The whole time, you're

always deciding everything!

What to do, which school

the kid will go to, everything!

How to live, how not to live,

everything you decide!

God damn it!

Want some beer?

I'm calm, I'm calm. But,

dad, I've made a question...
