THE CUBS

You have to study hard to keep up with your mates.

The course is now advanced, but I trust you'll work...

...to be at the others' level. Won't you?

Don't worry, Mr. Headmaster.

Look, it's 6th grade A. Down the yard, to the left.

Give this to teacher De la Torre.

Good. Take a seat wherever you can.

Back there.

We have to take into account that these names...

...are only referring to the structure, meaning...

...whether beings are simple or complex...

...or more varied acts be performed on them...

...or in a larger number...

...and not whether they have more or less importance...

...because in Nature...

...there's nothing superior or inferior...

...neither accessory or main things...

...because in life everything's equally worthy.

Therefore...

...we must think...

...in very simply organized beings...

...and to quote the hawk, for example...

...we'll think it's an animal with an structure...

-Give back what you stole. -What?

Give it back.

...there are intermediate levels...

-...but we can't say there are... -Thank you.

- ...more than others. -What's your name?

-Cuellar, and you? -Lalo.

This is Toto, this is Perico. And this is Manolo.

Where you live?

In 132, Amsterdam Street, over Mexico Park. And you?

We live quite close.

We live at Condesa.

-Do they pick you up? -My Dad will pick me up today...

...but tomorrow I'll go home by myself.

Cool. We can go all together.

It tastes odd.

You're even.

Go run!

What happened? We were waiting for you.

Tenoch...

...Chimalpopoca...

...Moctezuma...

...well...

...Moctezuma...

Sit down!

Does anybody know in here?

Very good.

Say it.

Tenoch, Ilancueitl, Acamapichtli...

...Hutzilihuilt, Chimalpopoca...

... Itzcuatl, Moctezuma Ilhuicamina...

...Axay-catl, Ahuizotl...

...Moctezuma Xocoyotzin...

...Cuitl-huac, Cuahutemoc.

Very good! Very good!

At least someone studies in here.

Sit down.

Easy!

Stop it!

Catch it, Perico!

Catch it, Perico!

Throw it!

Quickly!

Give me one!

Give me one! Give me one!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Hurry up!

-See you. -No, don't go.

See you.

No, hang out a little bit more.

Sure. Let's go to "Vanguardias".

Don't be mean. A quick soccer match and then go.

Sure.

I can't. My Dad wouldn't let me.

You want to enter the class' team?

You must train. Come on.

Really! I have to do homework.

Don't go.

Bye!

-See you tomorrow. -See you.

He's a nice boy. But he's such a nerd.

It's not his fault. His Dad's mean.

If it were for him, he'd come with us.

If he doesn't train, he can't enter the team.

He can't score nor dribble. He gets tired right away.

-But he's nice. -We have to get him in.

Go quickly!

-Here it comes! -Shoot!

Hey!

Over here!

Stop it! We call it a day! It's over by now.

It's the other boys' turn. Come on.

Get out! It's your fathers' turn!

-Why? It's still our turn! -Go get lost!

-We won't get out! -You're already out.

I'll go tell the headmaster.

-Go tell your sister! -Up yours, scumbag!

-Didn't we play cool? -They were going to beat us.

You argued, Now you must buy us ice cream.

Don't be mean, Perico. You buy it now, okay?

I don't have money. You know if I have, I buy.

-How much you've got? -That's the problem.

I buy it. I'd better do.

I go to.

Why do you go? It's Saturday.

Don't be mean.

-I'll ride you! -No, wait!

Get off! Get off now!

You'll see!

There you go!

Ole!

Ole!

Bullfighter!

Ole!

Ole!

Bullfighter!

Shut up, fucking Judas!

Leave him to me.

You'll see, fucking dog!

Damn!

No! Judas!

-It's Judas! It's Judas! -Get out!

No!

Look at this! Bastard!

Damned dog from hell!

Damned bastard! You're going to pay!

No!

No! No!

-Can you tell us?.. -Clear it, please.

Go to the room. You can sit in there.

...really... Teacher, you go, please.

Excuse me...

...who can tell us about boy Cuellar?

I know nothing. The boy's parents are informed.

But, miss, please... I'd like you to... well...

...after stopping the bleeding, he was undergone a...

...penistomy...

...or ablation of the penis...

...without extirpation of the testicles...

...a perineal transposition...

Now...

...you're cute!

My baby... Easy.

Easy.

Let's see.

I'm coming.

Come in. Come on in.

This way. Perico...

...hi, Toto. Lalo...

...hi, Ramon.

Well, baby. I leave you with your friends, huh?

Thank you.

Sit down. Ofler chocolate to them.

How are you?

Are you okay now?

So-so.

-Hey, your room is cool. -Want some chocolates?

-Yes. -Of course!

-We charged revenge, buddy. -That's right.

Before they took Judas, we stoned him...

...and beat the shit out of him!

He seemed dead. We thought we'd be expelled.

But no one said anything to us.

That's good.

I swear at least we broke all his ribs.

Hey...

...tell us what he did to you.

Did it hurt?

Yes, a lot.

But your face is okay.

Where was it?

There.

Where?

-There. -In your arm?

No.

Then?

Lower.

ln...

...your cocky?

Yes, but don't tell anything...

...please.

Of course not.

My parents don't want it to be known.

I swear to God we won't tell.

Poor of that who says something.

If you're asked, say it was in my belly. Okay?

Sure.

Teacher, can you go to the headmaster's office?

Yes. Thank you very much.

I'll be out a moment.

Cuellar, take care of the order.

Teacher!

Lend me your cock to go to the bathroom!

-Why do you say that? -Do you have a cock, idiot?

Easy!

Easy, Cuellar! Calm down!

-Calm down, now! -Calm, your "Cocky"!

-You too? -Everybody calls you that.

It's catchy.

What's wrong with calling you "cocky"?

-Hi. -Hi, boys! How are you?

-Lalito... How are you, Perico? -How are you?

Hi, Manolo.

Toto, what a hairdo!

-Where's Cuellar? -Grooming himseIf upstairs.

-Excuse us. -Come on in.

Thank you.

Let's see now.

Come on, Cuellar! We're here!

Where is he?

-Shall we play once? -Five times. Step aside.

-Cuellar! -Watch out.

-You're not a rival, Perico. -You just play!

-Well, come on. -Where's the ball?

-Are you there? -Take out a ball.

Come on. Is that dude taking a shower?

Fucking dude.

Lalo!

-Come on here! -What's up?

-Gosh! -Take him out!

-Help me out! -Hurry up. Be careful!

-Take out his feet. -Lay him here.

-Fuck! -Call his Mom!

You call her.

-Wait! -Son of a bitch!

-Kick him! -Come on, kick him!

-Come on, beat him! -You'll pay, dude!

Let's get out.

Come on, wait!

What a fucking joke!

Yes, but you were scared as chickens.

No way!

At first I thought he was dead.

Nah! You could tell he was fooling around.

If you die in the tube, you don't do with a swimsuit.

Sure.

Tell us...

...why you didn't get naked to do it?

Perico!

Leave that. Come on, dude!

-Split up. -Done.

A couple.

-Speak. -I pass.

Ten.

-Go. -Eat.

As you see.

-Son... -What do you want, Mom?

Why you get in without knocking?

-Yes, I knocked... -No, you didn't knock.

-Who plays? -Tell me what you want.

Your Dad and I will go to the theatre.

See you, boys. You know this is your home.

-See you, madam. -Have fun, madam.

My rest.

You go.

I go.

-What you got? -Three kings.

Damn! Two pairs.

-Go, Manolo. -No, I don't wanna play.

-And you? -I stop playing.

-I lend you money. -No, it's over.

-Wait, dude! -Lend it to me.

No, I won't! You were playing!

Stop it!

-Look, look, here they come. -Meat!

They're not only for you.

-Give me a plate! -Pass them all.

-Save one for Cocky. -He shall save it himself.

-Pass me one napkin. -Pass me your sister.

-Give me one. -They say I don't need it.

-Give me a napkin. -Give me one.

-Look at him. -You're in a decent house, boy.

-Here it comes. -Milk!

Here it comes the milk!

Where's the cement and water?

-Move it! -Make a room.

-Move the things away. -Let's see.

-Give me a glass. -How good the burgers are!

Why you didn't want to come?

Things are difficult at home...

...and my Mom can't work anymore. And I'm penniless.

Besides, work with my uncle is hard. He hardly pays me.

Don't worry. I can lend you money.

I want to work.

Your Dad'd employ me at the factory?

Of course.

If he refuses, I'll fire his business.

-Really? -But you'll be my slave.

Thank you, Cocky. You're very cool.

My Gosh! I'm seeing visions.

These rascals brought the girls.

Malena...

...Rosalinda...

...and China.

What's up?

We brought a bunch, dude!

-Hi! -Come over!

-We're here! -They're waiting for you!

Here's your bus!

Come see your present!

What's up?

Perico! Did Cuellar go to pee?

Help us!

Pure for me.

-How did you do it? -What do you mean how?

-Like everybody. -Give one to him.

-And what did she say? -She accepted right away.

Thank you.

-Did you touch her? -What you think?

-Did you get laid? -Damn, you seem priest, Cocky.

Stop confessing him, will you?

What she did?

She allowed it?

Tell us! Where did you do it?

If you want to know, seduce one.

How many times you slept with Malena?

Tell us. When was the first time?

-How does she do it? -Come on, stop it!

Stop it!

Cuellar! Wait, asshole!

Go away, jerk!

Not so hard!

Stop me.

No!

No!

No!

But...

...no!

No! No!

What happens?

Nothing.

Look at you!

Stop drinking.

It damages you.

Stop being like this! Stop it!

Now tell me...

...what is it?

You're so pretty.

What a thing!

-Wait! -What will you do?

Wait.

-Are you crazy? -Wait...

-But what are you?.. -Wait!

I'll kill myself.

Don't speak nonsense.

Sleep a bit.

-Get some rest. -Come here!

Dance with me.

-Come here. -Let go of me.

Let go of me! I don't want to!

-Dance, Mom! -I don't want to!

I don't want to! I don't want to!

-We'll leave on Saturday. -It's so uncool to me.

He's the only one who takes him. Only I soothe him a bit.

I think you're taking it back!

-You love him that much? -Of course I do.

Whatever. I leave on Saturday!

Monday is good day to start.

You'll be mean if you don't tell him.

I leave the papers in the box.

-Have a soda, uncle. -No, don't have me so.

-Hey, uncle, what shall we do? -No, well...

...how can I tell? I wanted to tell you I'm leaving.

You're closing? Where are you going?

No, he means he'll work with me in USA!

-Where? -To the other side.

He says you can get a lot of money in there.

Suit yourself. What are you going to do?

Let's go to your Mom's estate.

-He brought a TV. -Clothes are cheap.

What's up, dude? What's wrong?

Don't be like that, Mr. Eme! We won't die!

What's up, buddy? What's wrong with you?

-Cuellar! -What an elegance!

-What's up? -What a nice house.

-Hi. -We were leaving.

Your first communion suit.

What is it?

Hey! Hey, hey!

Where are you?

What's up? Are you asleep?

Hello, boys. How are you? Having fun?

Sit, sit, Perico. Excuse me. Keep on having fun.

Say hello to your family, Malena.

Hey, your Dad is so blonde.

What is it? Your Dad's birthday?

It's his Dad's birthday.

-When they got married. -How scary!

I wanna leave.

-Who's that? -Who?

-That girl. -I don't know.

If you don't know, let alone me.

She's gorgeous!

Get married.

Hello.

Occupied?

What you think?

Come.

Use mine.

Come!

Open up.

What for?

Let's chat downstairs.

What's that?

Nothing.

Don't be stupid. That's not the way to go.

Please...

Stay.

Are you coming?

Lot of people.

Give me a ride home.

Slow down!

Slow down!

Slow down!

Stop it!

Stop it! It's okay.

It's okay.

Malena, Malena! Look!

How bold!

Hey, Tere, play with me.

Come on!

Why don't you tell your friend...

...those things are done in private?

-She must respect us! -You tell her.

Me? I don't know her.

I can summon her to introduce her.

You moron!

She's very cute.

How's she like?

What you think? How you figure she's like?

I know how you're like.

-What you do with her? -The same as you do.

I get her in my car, we look for dark spaces...

...and we make out there.

I grope her beneath her dress.

She puts her panty on and I take it off.

-Shut up! -Stop it, moron!

-I'll kick you! -Stop it!

Step aside!

How are you?

What? You don't remember me?

I'm Gumucio!

What? You don't remember school?

Gumucio...

My God!

It's been long time no see! We're already old, aren't we?

Yes. It's been a long time.

Wait, dude. We have to celebrate this.

You do great.

What you do?

Business, dude, and school. I wasted many years.

I married, it went wrong... I'm divorcing. Anyway...

I'm very glad to see you.

I remember you very much.

I missed you.

What's up?

He's my bro.

Are you happy?

What wanna hear?

What music?

I remember we fought one day.

And all because of that dog.

Did you ever see De la Torre again?

Fucking Cuellar!

Hi. My name's Lidia. What about you?

Your name?

Cuellar.

We'll be back.

Play music.

What you think?

Why so shy?

Come here.

Don't you go.

No, no! Let go of me!

Get off! You're crazy!

Let go of me!

Get off! No, no!

Let go of me!

Help me! Please!

Wait!

Wait!

This shit doesn't work.

-Let go of me. -No.

Stay there. I'll take a picture.

-No. -Please...

The party did already start. It's getting late.

What party? I want to have you.

I won't let you.

I want to be alone with you.

Okay.

Done?

Okay. I let go of you.

When people fall in love, they get stupid.

-Why do you say so? -Because of me.

Not true.

You stop thinking about you...

...you get stupid in front of others.

You're crazy.

Not that one! He already died!

Who died? Who died?

Who died?

We're being watched.

What you're doing here? Why you're spying on us?

I don't spy on dirty stuff.

Beat it.

Beat it!

-How dare you, bastard? -Beat it!

Why you doing this at your house?

Beat it!

Beat it! Beat it!

-You called me. -Shut up.

-You called me. -Shut up. Shut up.

You called me.

-Show me the other cards. -Are you bored?

We'll soon leave. I'm also fed up.

Come on, Tere. Let's go.

Please, be careful.

Cards.

Let them go.

-Tell me when you're on. -Yes, sir.

One moment.

There we go! Don't move.

Throw them.

The other one. Smile. That's right.

You're pretty.

This dude's always had good taste.

Right?

Not now, thanks.

We've been friends since kids.

-Let me give you another one. -No.

-Yes. -How come not? Please.

Okay? Give me your glass.

Thank you.

You're cozy?

I love you both.

I want you to be happy.

-I'm very happy. -Really?

Let me know if you need anything.

So do you.

Order me.

Okay.

Here.

I'll play you some music, okay?

Okay.

What happened?

Tell me...

...what happened?

Tell me! What happened to you?

What happened?

What happened?

-When will you marry? -No, I don't have an idea.

I'll go to Boston next month.

-Nice. -I'll see when I'll get back.

-What does Malena think? -What can she think?

-She has to put up with it. -Let's see...

We're here to drink, not to chat.

I propose a toast for the future oppressed husband...

...and candidate for being cheated.

Serious.

Be happy.

-Chabela is a golden girl. -Thanks.

-Drink it all. -Go ahead.

What's up?

Are you okay?

Come on, let's go with the buddies. Come on.

What's up?

How are you?

We're all here now. Let's toast.

Cheers.

Because we're all together.

-To your wedding, Lalo. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

There he is! He hasn't left.

This dude will never change, huh?

-Let's see, where is he? -What happens? Why you left?

-Tell us. -Someone bothered you?

You feel bad?

What is it?

-Well, that's okay. -Sure.

Cheer up!

-Let's go see a show. -Yes, yes!

There are some hot brown girls!

But be careful, because one of them eats people.

-What is it now? -What's wrong with you?

I just got sad, that's all.

-Forget it. -Yes, let's have fun!

Let's see, cheer up. Who loves you?

-Let's go! -That's how I like it!

Let's drive fast!

-Come on! -Cuellar, close the door.

Come on!

Watch out.

That's how you must drive.

Don't be stupid! Stop it!

Stop it!

-We'll get killed! -Stop it!

Watch out!

Cuellar!

Watch out!

Watch out!

Wait! Wait!

Stop it!

What you want?

You're getting burned, dude.

Let me buy you this one.

What? You don't remember me?

I'm Gumucio's brother.

Cheers.

What happened?

Nothing.

I recognized you at once. Though you're bald.

-What's up? -Hey.

What's up?

He's my brother's buddy.

-What is it? -Look at it.

Come on!

More!

That's it!

-Harder, harder! -Come on!

That's it!

Another bit.

-Harder, harder! -That's right!

That's it!

Of course!

More!

Well, kid, I have to develop this. I'll call you tomorrow.

Turn it off.

Lock!

Hey...

How are you?

Here.

Let go of me.

What you want?

-Come back to me. -Really?

What for?

To be with you...

...like before.

I need you.

I don't.

Don't hurt yourself. What for?

I love you too.

It is a stupid thing. Understand that.

I hate it!

You better go. I don't want to see you.

No, Tere, no!

Please, Tere, no!

It's the best for you.

I can't!

Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

Let go of me. Stop it! Let go of me!

I can't leave you.

I won't...

-...ever! -Stop it!

What about me? You want to be with me...

...then what? Tell me! What am I going to do?

You'll have everything! I just want us to be together.

I just wanna have you with me!

Don't be stupid! Realize how things are. I need a man.

I would have to Iook for him out.

I don't care! I don't care!

I do! Don't try to humiliate me.

I'd do it with an old man, and spend money with a young.

Come with me! I tell you I don't care!

Hi, son. Come on in.

How are you?

Fine.

Had breakfast?

No.

No?

No.

Have a toast.

It's so late!

I'll get dressed. Doctor arrives at 11 .

What for?

You're pretty.

You're crazy.

Cut it, babe. Help me out.

Help me out.
