Here. On the house.

Put it on and we'll go partying.

I'm meeting my girlfriend.

Put it on anyway.

I'd like to see you in it.

It'll look great on you.

If you like it so much, wear it yourself.

You're so mistaken!

Because I don't like men?

Because you don't like me.

In any case...

I've got pills to get you in the mood.

You shouldn't take that sh*t.

Vicente, leave Cristina alone!

I'm off.

Where to?

Home, to get changed.

How come?

I'm meeting my pals.

I think we're going to Casilda's party.

Were you invited?

Jorge knows one of the nieces.

We're just going to the dance.

Well? Are you coming?

Leave her alone, you pain.

Good afternoon.

Hello.

My wife has left us...

and I was wondering

if you'd want her clothes.

- Josefina?

- Yes.

Well...

we don't have anything for fat women...

If you're interested,

I'll let you check them out.

They're very nice.

We'll look at them and let you know.

- Of course.

- It's this, right?

Yes.

It's heavy.

It certainly is.

But...

did she leave or has she disappeared?

Both things.

To be honest...

she does it regularly.

We're used to it.

So the next time she does it...

she'll have to leave naked

because I'm selling her clothes.

I'll show you the garden.

What a party!

Fresh air!

You're all stoners!

I'm Vicente.

I'm Norma.

Your friends have gone.

All the better, right?

Are you stoned?

Stoned?

Have you taken any pills?

Yes.

Cipralex 20...

I don't take Rohipnol now.

And Lyrica, of course.

Sh*t!

I'm high as hell too.

High?

Yes.

You're not from here, are you?

No. Are you?

Yes, but I want to get away...

I'm sick of these high heels!

And this jacket!

All these clothes give me claustrophobia.

If I could, I'd go naked all the time.

Wait.

I'll leave you naked.

You're so pretty...

and different.

I'm different too.

Are you in treatment too?

No.

Do you think I should be?

I don't know.

And now, on the groom's request,

I'm going to sing...

"I Need To Love".

This is also for the bride...

with all my affection.

No!

Shut up!

Stop!

Cristina...

If I left, you'd stay here

with my mother, wouldn't you?

Yes...

but where are you going?

I don't know.

I'm sick of the town.

That's because of all the stuff you take.

I haven't taken anything in a week.

Then it's because of that.

So should I take it or not?

It's best not to.

I'm going out.

Now? Without finishing it?

Yes.

Are you coming for supper

or will you be late?

I'll be home for supper,

I just need some air.

Leave it mom, I can do it.

Pass me my helmet.

Are you leaving that mess?

I'll finish it tomorrow.

What are you doing, a**hole?

Are you crazy?

Son of a b*tch!

Bastard!

Are you crazy?
