THE MAGIC GLOVES

It's me, sweetheart,
I'm on my way.

I was delayed at the studio
with the master and it's pouring.

Yes, I'm almost there.
They sent a crappy car, a Renault 12.

I wouldn't have taken it
if it wasn't for the rain.

A piece of shit.

As soon as it rains,
they put all the junk on the streets.

This one has no springs.
I told you, I'm almost there.

You're Alejandro, right?

You went to school with my brother Luis.
Remember me?

-No.
- Sergio Romano. Luis' brother.

Everybody calls me Piranha.

You were a little boy then,
you came home very often.

I really don't remember.

Luis has been in Canada for
over 3 years now. We miss him.

Hello?

I told you I'm on my way, honey.
Don't shout. Pretend I'm there.

Just fix me some whisky.

Go get the bottle
and some ice, sit down...

...and tell me about your day.

We're going by a gas station.

We passed the gas station,
now we're by the traffic light.

Want to come in?
You'll meet my wife an listen to my CD.

- No, really, I can't.
- You have to work?

No, this was my last trip,
but I have things to do.

I just finished the master.
Want to listen to it in the car?

There's no stereo,
just an ordinary AM radio.

Okay. You can come over for
dinner some time. Got a card?

You can reach me at the cab company.

- Are you married? - No.
- Girlfriend? - Yes.

- Steady?
- We live together.

Great, I'll call you and we'll get together
next Friday.

Too bad Luis is in Canada,
he could have come too.

- What do you want to do?
- Let's go dancing.

Not again, Alejandro.

Okay, we'll do as you say.

We've gone dancing
a thousand times.

And you want to go
dancing again.

I said we'll do
whatever you want to do.

The clubs are full of
teenagers, Alejandro.

Let's go to a pub, all right?

In the end Cecilia decided to stay home.
It rained all night.

A week later, Piranha had us over
for dinner in his place.

Let's go, it's getting late.

Coffee.

Coffee.

We're late and we haven't
bought the ice cream yet.

- You know, I've been thinking...
- About what?

- It's hard for me to talk.
- What is it?

I've been meaning to talk to you too.

What do you want to say?

You want to break up with me?

Is that it?

-Hi, I'm Susana.
-Hi.

- Where's your girl? - We split up.
-What? -When?

- Just now. - Never mind.
We'll listen to the CD after dinner.

Come in.

Piranha recorded all the instruments,
he did everything.

Independent production,
but very professional.

- Tell us about you.
- You must be feeling awful.

Can't you do anything
to save the relationship?

- What kind of question is that?
- Let him speak.

- Who dumped who?
- We weren't getting along...

Who took the first step?

She brought it up,
but I'd been meaning to talk to her.

- So she left you.
-Well...

Perhaps you meant to tell her,
but she said it first.

Actually she didn't say a word,
I had to do the talking.

-1 don't get it.
- She wouldn't talk so I asked her...

...if she wanted to break up.

- Did she say she did?
- Actually, she didn't, she just nodded.

- So, how is she? Is she depressed?
-1 don't know.

- Don't know? - She can't be happy.
- No, she wasn't happy.

Is she depressed because you
split up or vice versa?

- Did you live with her?
-Yes.

Where will you live now?

- It's too soon to know.
- Just in case he has nowhere to

I'll have to move in with my parents.

Luis' place is empty,
I don't think he'll mind.

- You can stay there.
- While he's in Canada, it's all yours.

Sit there, it's the best place.

pure rock'n roll.

Forget it. He's hardly in
the mood for that now.

- No, it's no problem.
- Sure?

Here we are. 2 bedrooms,
fully equipped, just like Luis left it.

Answering machine, pillows,
blankets, alarm clock, radio,...

...stereo, big closets...

In the bathroom you'll find all you need,
shampoo, conditioner...

And my brother's weights and home gym.

But that's not really your thing, is it?

The water heater is pretty standard.

There're even some puddings,
must be 3 years old.

Luis' favourite desert.
No one's touched a thing here.

Here. We have another set.
You may stay as long as you please.

- I've got to go.
- Listen, I should pay for this.

Forget it. You pay what you
can, and the rest in cab fares.

We take taxis all the time
because neither of us drives.

I ate 4 puddings and finally fell asleep.

I was sure they'd kill me.

The expiration date was December 1 999.

But the next morning I felt fine.

They must have been
full of preservatives.

- Can you hear that?
-A little.

Your hearing will be back
to normal in a few hours.

Even better than before.
I cleaned both ears.

You got off lightly this time.

You must take care of yourself.
Go see the ophthalmologist.

- Why? - There's one right here.
When did you last see one?

You should get regular checkups.
Hearing better now?

- Yes, Doc.
- See? I told you.

Come in.
Close the door and sit down.

Thanks.

May I see your insurance card, please?

Won't you examine me?

I always prescribe
my 40-year-old patients glasses...

...and then I examine them.

I'm not 36 yet.

You're close to your 40s.

Sit over here and I'll examine you.

Open up wide. Don't blink.

This will make you dizzy.

- What do you do?
- I'm a taxi driver.

Taxi driver? You got your license
a long time ago, right?

Open up the other one,
nice and wide. Don't move.

At 40, your body is like an old house.

When you try to fix
even the smallest pipe...

...you find widespread structural damage.

Everything is spoiled,
one repair leads to another.

It just never ends.
I happened to me, so I decided to sell.

I moved to a newer apartment.

But you can't get rid of your body.

Don't blink, don't blink.

I had coffee and some
croissant to clear my mind.

Then I went to the optician's.
I got my glasses in 2 hours.

- What will you have?
- Coffee.

- It's happy hour.
-So?

Don't you know?
You pay one drink and get two.

- What will you have?
- Whisky.

Okay, order two for me then.

3 whiskies, please.

You don't mind I called you
and we hadn't even met.

You must come over for dinner.

You'll meet Piranha and listen to his CD.

Yes, sure.

Your eyes are all watery.

No big deal, it happens all the time.

Must be an allergy.
With me, watery eyes are normal.

-You're depressed.
- No, I'm not.

- Tell me...
-Yes?

- Why did you break up?
-1 don't know, we just did.

There must be a reason.
Alejandro's so quiet.

- Is there another guy?
- How's Alejandro?

Did you know about our deal?

No, we aren't in touch.
We need some space.

He pays the rent with free rides.
We don't drive,

so we get 15 rides a week
for 8 to 10 pesos each.

We take fewer trips if they are longer.

He drove me to the dentist,
the hairdresser and then...

...mum to the airport,
she went to a spa in Brazil.

I'm in tourism and can get good tours.
I your state...

... you could use a vacation.

Tell me, is your depression
organic or emotional?

I'm not depressed, I told you.

Don't say that, I can tell by your face.

I told you, my eyes are always watery,
that's why...

...I look so melancholic.
It doesn't mean I'm sad,...

...just that my eyes are watery.

That's it, all that melancholy
plunged you into depression.

So it's organic, or rather,...

...it started out emotional
and turned into organic.

A week later I first called
Cecilia since our break up.

She told me she was going
to a spa in Brazil.

I wondered if I was taking
her to the airport...

...as her ex or as a driver.
Luckily I didn't ask her.

Is it that bad?
You look the same to me.

- What?
- Listen. A funny noise.

I can't hear anything.

Now I hear things I never heard before.
There it is again.

- Hear that? The car's making noises.
-No.

Listen carefully.
There it is.

I can't hear anything.
Maybe the car's talking to you.

Maybe it's trying to
tell you something.

That's my group there.

- Hello.
- Hello.

This is Valeria,
Alejandro.

So? How was it?

- You went to the spa, too?
- No, I took them there and back.

We became friends on the plane.
They gave me this.

- You could come up and get your stuff.
-Yes.

Winter things are in a suitcase,
summer clothes in two bags.

Well, Alejandro...

- What?
- Listen.

The car's making funny noises.

I can't hear anything.

Well, then...

Hi, it's me, Valeria, the flight attendant.

Just wanted to know
if you got home okay.

Cecilia gave me your number.

She's okay, a bit blue.
Look after her...

Valeria kept calling all week.
One day she left 7 messages.

Finally, I answered the phone
and we decided to go dancing.

I love it how we're
both in transportation.

- What?
-1 love we both work with passengers!

Right.

- How much do you charge to the airport?
- What?

I go there very often.
How much do you charge?

From you place, $25.

My cab company charges me 22.

- You get a discount for frequent trips.
- How much?

20.

I'm leaving for the Caribbean,
we can start now.

Ah, Susana, it's you.
I just woke up. I'm not sure why.

I'd have slept all day,
but something woke me up.

Something always wakes you,
a dream, a strange thought.

Or some physical sensation.

I have all day ahead of
then the night,...

...and then tomorrow,
it all starts all over again.

Lutor!

Lutor, bad dog!
Disobeying me!

Be a good boy, hear me?
What will the lady think of you?

Leave the lady alone.

What are you taking?

Alplax.

Without any water?
I'm on Meleril.

- It always makes my mouth dry.
- Never tried it.

I used to take Valium.

But it only works on your muscles.
Not up here.

Meleril's really good for paranoia.
I'm much better.

Too bad it makes me awfully thirsty,
though.

Is it organic or emotional?

- Your depression, I mean.
- Mine is 100% emotional.

If it were organic, I'd kill myself.
And yours?

Mine? It's... emotional too, 100%.
Of course.

- Thanks. It's the Meleril.
- You're welcome.

- Why do you take Alplax?
- Got it from the person...

- ...who diagnosed my depression.
-A shrink?

No. Travel agent.
First she sent me to a spa in Brazil.

But it didn't work.
They treat you as a baby,...

...make you feel useless.
Most go there to lose weight.

When the spa didn't help,
she got me prescriptions for Alplax.

It's a Benzodiazepine with
an anti-depressive component.

Like that Xanax everyone talks about.
Do you sleep well?

-1 have insomnia.
- Me, too.

We could go out some night.

Fine, I have nothing to do at night.

It's better than staring at the ceiling
all night.

Yes, I guess so.

- What's your name?
- Cecilia.

I'm Daniel.

-I'm having whisky. Want one, too?
-All right.

It's Happy Hour.
Know what that is?

- Sure, pay one, drink two.
-Yes.

Me, too.
But only discos are open so late.

Dancing's better than
staring at the ceiling.

Mixing tranquilizers with
sedatives is amazing.

You sleep as a baby.

But you burn a few brain cells.
Be careful with sedatives.

I'm worried about Cecilia.
She wants more prescriptions.

I gave her Alplax because
she seemed so anxious.

The wife of my boss at the
travel agency is a doctor.

I told him about Cecilia and...

...he took blank prescriptions
and forged her signature.

He feels responsible too.
The spa didn't help, so we...

...tried to find another way out.
Now it's our responsibility.

Now she wants signed blank prescriptions.

I feel like a drug dealer.

- Who knows what she's taking.
- Haven't seen her in ages.

And she drinks, too.
Last time I saw her, she reeked of whisky.

That's my fault too.
She hadn't even heard of Happy Hour.

Pills and booze.
What a combination!

I think it's great we both
work in transportation.

Have you seen Cecilia?
You don't mind, do you?

- No, no.
- We get along fine. She introduced us.

I should have invited her too.
I admire friendly ex couples.

- Have you met her new boyfriend?
-No.

Daniel. He walks dogs.
He's very young, only 24.

- And she?
-32.

That's probably why you split.
How old are you?

At some point, every girl needs
to flirt with a younger man.

It was probably your age.
You think that might have been it?

I like being responsible
for so many people.

They depend on you for so many things.
I really enjoy trips.

- How nice.
-1 can't tell you how much.

And I love the mystique of flying.
It's like a game.

The toiletries kit, the kid's toys,
little soaps and bottles,...

...food on little trays, snacks,...

... the trolley with duty-free items.

I'm glad I can enjoy all that.

- How's it going with Alejandro?
- Great.

It all began as deal for
trips to the airport.

We have a deal too,
for the rent.

Cab rides for housing.

You think Cecilia left him for his age?

She didn't leave him.
It was a joint decision.

Sure, it was. She says, "I want to
break up," so he says, "Me, too."

- It's hard to accept you've been dumped.
- You think so?

Now she's in trouble.
She's hooked on the dog walker.

They do drugs together,
and she's put on 4 pounds.

- 4 pounds! - She mixes pills and booze,
that can ruin anyone.

I sent her to the spa again for a week.
She may be depressed...

-... but at least she'll lose weight.
- 4 pounds!

- 4 pounds!
-1 told her she was depressed,...

...I told her about Happy Hour.

- Was it my age? - What?
- We broke up because of that?

You say so because she's dating a kid?

-Yes.
-1 have no idea.

- Hear that humming noise?
- Yes, I do.

- That doctor is great.
-Yes.

Listen.

- What?
- That noise. I can hear it now.

See?

That doctor is amazing.

- It's like music, isn't it?
- Music?

Yes, music.
Just listen to that rhythm.

It's a loose part.
It's no music.

- To me it sounds like music.
- Are you serious?

Cecilia says the car's trying
to tell me something.

The car?
Trying to tell you something?

It's because of the pills and the booze.
4 pounds in a week!

Half a pound a day.
What are you taking?

-Whisky. I don't like mixing.
-1 meant pills.

Oh, everything.
Alplax, Valium, Meleril, Rivotril...

My mom takes Halopidol.

- 4 pounds in a week is a lot.
- 4 pounds.

- Susanna says they're very strict there.
- 4 pounds!

I lost 4 pounds.
I'm back to my normal weight.

-1 know, you didn't realize it.
- No, no, I did.

Let's go to that drugstore.

See?
It's exactly 4 pounds.

-1 was up to 27 and now I weigh 23.
- Yes, I see.

That speaks for you.
You must have a strong constitution.

- What sign are you?
- Libra.

What a pity. In Cecilia's group
everybody was a Sagittarius.

- What?
- They were all Sagittarius.

It was so weird.
19 out of 25 people were Sagittarius.

They were so happy together
they decided to exercise...

...3 times a week in the
woods near Palermo.

I'm a Sagittarius, too.

So they invited me to join them.

They'll meet at 7.15.
What time is it now?

- 6.40.
- Great. Just in time.

Will you take me?

If you weren't a Libra,
I'd invite you.

-Yes?
- This is Daniel.

You must be the dog walker.
Lutor!

- My aunt suddenly passed away
last Friday. - She died?

- Did she owe you money?
-$60,

It's like hell broke loose.
Estate lawyers are all over the place.

I'm the only heir in Argentina.
It's a mess.

And no one wants Lutor.
Won't you accept him as payment?

- Me? Lutor?
- He's practically got a pedigree.

I can't have him.
In my building animals are not allowed.

- So? How is she?
- No change. I'm desperate.

- The best thing is to stay calm.
- How can I?

She's so blue.
That blank look, those watery eyes.

-1 can't take it.
- Want a Valium?

No, no pills.
I tried Melatol once.

- It's a non-prescriptive sedative.
- Careful with that.

They give me weird dreams.

Once I had two Melatol,...

...3 mg of Rivotril and a half Dormicum.
Remember, Daniel?

Yes. Made you groggy, right?

Got the prescription?

- This is the last one.
- What do you mean?

- Cecilia, get into detox.
-1 go walking in the mornings.

-Walking? Please!
- Three times a week!

That won't solve your problem.
Tomorrow we start yoga.

Valeria found a great instructor.
Let me help you, please!

- Which one is Lutor?
- That one.

- The owner's niece should keep him.
- She vanished.

Animals are no allowed in my building
and she can't take him.

I'll take him.
He'll be Alejandro's birthday present.

Now close your eyes.

Your body is relaxed,...

...your back is in full contact
with the floor.

Your lips and tongue...

...are nice and relaxed.

Your eyelids feel lighter...

Feel where your body
touches the floor.

Your shoulder blades,
your coccyx...

...your heels.

You take a deep breath...

...and when you exhale, you feel...

...tension leaving your body.

- Thank you.
- It's from Piranha and me.

I'll walk him free for a month,
that's my present.

How would you manage
to come here everyday?

- Alejandro can pick him up.
- But not for free.

Every ride has its price.
It's his income, after all.

Daniel and Alejandro live far apart.
It's a $10 ride, at least.

As my present, I'll pay the fares
for as long as Daniel walks him.

Perfect.
I also have something for you.

Here.
Tell me what you think.

A sweater and socks.
I got them at the duty-free shop.

-And?
-1 love them. Thanks.

They're from Burberry's.
They'll look good on you.

I've never worn argyle before.

My parents wanted me
to wear plain clothes, so I did.

- What do you mean, plain?
- Solid colors. That's all.

- What?
- Only solids?

-1 can't believe it.
- Stripes?

- Polka dots? Squares? Flowers?
- Nothing.

- Deer? Snowflakes?
-No.

- No way. - Impossible.
- Is it true?

Let's see your closet.

It's practically empty.

There are two suitcases.

Cecilia packed them when I moved.

I haven't opened them since.

All solids.

All solids.

Only solids.

I have good news and bad news.

- In a way, bad news are actually good.
- Get to the point.

Luis is coming next week.

He'll go to Iguazu to shoot
a film, then he'll come here.

But you don't need to move.

- Bad news are not so bad.
- Sure?

When we heard,
we thought you'd have to move.

But Luis says you can stay.
No problem.

Luis doesn't remember you,
or even your name, how odd.

- What kind of films does he do?
- Porno.

- He made a great career in Canada.
- He's so nice.

They'll be shooting in Iguazu.
Now the bad news.

- Luis is allergic to dogs.
- So he can't live with Lutor.

Relax, we've worked it out.
We'll take him while Luis is in town.

We have a yard, he'll live like a king.
Daniel will walk him.

And Cecilia will come up
for any difference in fare.

Nothing changes, except you'll
live with Luis, not with Lutor.

There's room and he's agreed.

- When's he arriving?
- Saturday. You'll be picking him up.

To the airport again.

- His face isn't familiar.
- Neither is his.

He looks familiar to me.
You're the same age, right?

Anyway, I'm glad you're here.
That's what matters.

- Now you can listen to my CD.
-1 already have. You sent it.

You'll listen to it properly.

That evening we had dinner
with Sergio and Susanna.

While they listened to the CD,
I did the dishes.

Next morning, I had to take
Luis to see my doctor.

- In my job, I have keep my shape.
Do you work out? - No.

Too bad. You may think a taxi
driver doesn't need it.

But at our age... You should do something.
Aerobics, at least.

My case is different.

If I didn't work out,
nobody would hire me.

Tell about your marriage.

Don't get upset.
I was just kidding.

I haven't slept a wink since Luis arrived.

He works out all day long
and I sleep in his gym.

The place must be full of energy.

- You're not taking anything, are you?
-No.

- We could ask Cecilia.
- What?

She could give you something mild.

You're right. I'm being silly.

She's so stupid she couldn't give you
anything good.

And I'm telling you to ask her!
What an idiot I am.

The noise is unbearable.

He works out 20 hours a day.

Weights, jogging, swimming,
jumping rope.

- It's crazy.
- Why don't you take him as an example?

They say exercise is good for insomnia.
Luis could teach you.

A free gym plus personal trainer.

You can't complain, Alejandro.

Some people I know'd give anything
to be in your shoes.

Susana's agency arranged
the trip for Luis and his crew.

I was hired to pick the cast up
at Ezeiza and...

...take them to Aeroparque
for their connecting flight.

They shot at Iguazu for one week.

Then they returned to B.A.
to shoot some scenes here.

Susana set up an itinerary
and I drove them to typical sights.

La Boca, Caminito, cafes,
Corrientes Avenue,...

...Columbus Theatre, Catalinas,
Liberador Av., Casa Rosada,...

...Recoleta, San Telmo,...

...some shanty towns
and the Obelisk.

After that, they had to
shoot some indoor scenes...

...at the gym in Luis's apartment.

- It's small but we managed.
- That's right.

Let's have a toast.

Tell them I'd like them to listen to my CD.

That's it. Ask they want
they want to hear my CD.

- Luis!
- What?

Ask what they think
of listening to my CD.

- Cut it out, Piranha.
- Cut what out?

- You'll make us mad.
- What?

- What do you mean?
- Stop it!

Come on in.

- Those Canadians are huge.
- They're not Canadians.

-No? -No.
- But they live in Canada. - Yes.

After dinner, we all celebrated
they had finished shooting.

I drove Valeria and the cast,
the rest took a cab,...

...there was no room in my car.

Those Canadians are huge.

- Are all Canadians that big?
- They're not Canadian.

- Where are they from, then?
- They just live there.

The big guy winked at you.

What did he say?

I don't like dancing.
Actually, I hate it. I'd rather sit here.

Piranha told me about
an amazing investment opportunity.

Some shares that dropped
but are bound to go up.

It seems they'll double within 3 months.

Why tell me?
You know I'm broke.

He's never wrong about investments.
He started selling...

- ...cigarettes and look at him now.
-1 just have my car.

-I'll buy it, I'll give you $4,500.
- What will you do with it?

-I'll get a cab license and hire a driver.
- What will I do?

I could hire you to drive my taxi.

- My car won't be a taxi.
- Why not?

Unlike in Argentina,
in Canada taxis are luxury cars.

Why don't you invest
the 4.500 in shares?

I don't like doing business
with my family.

I went to Canada to be independent.

I make good money abroad
and have some savings.

I want to invest in my country,
give something back.

A taxi, no.

You could drive it
and we'll share the agency commission.

I'll think about it.

-1 sold my car.
- It's too loud...

- What did you say?
-1 got rid of my car.

- Yes, a bit.
- A bit what?

-You need to lose weight.
-I'm talking about my car.

- What about the car?
-1 sold it.

Sounds good.
What will you do for work now?

Luis bought it.
I'll drive it for him.

- And the money?
-1 bought this shirt.

And invested the rest.

- Do you like
-Yes.

It's not so simple,
Luis bought the car,...

...I'll drive it and he'll pay me for that.

I earn less money,
but I've invested in high- tech stocks.

It's not easy, but it's the
only way to grow financially.

- Where's the car today?
- Luis borrowed it.

Good thing you got
rid of that jalopy.

I know, in a certain way
the car's yours.

Still seems like a good deal.
True, you still have to drive it,...

...but someday you'll
get a better car,...

...you'll do well, you'll prosper,
I'm telling you.

- What's that?
- Alprazolam.

- What?
- Alprazolam.

Modified Benzodiacepine
an anti-depressive component.

The cast stayed one more
week in B.A., they rested,...

...went shopping and sightseeing.

I drove them to the airport
when they left.

I charged them $23,
Susana got 3...

...as her travel agent's
commission,...

...the cab company got 10,
Luis 6, and I got just 4.

Now close your eyes.

All we can hear
is our own breathing.

If a thought comes up,
we let it go.

We feel nothing at all.

Only the rhythm
of our breathing.

Thanks for your help, guys.
My wife's fed up with my music.

- It's okay.
- No problem.

We've doubled our money
on those shares.

You did a great investment.

- Shouldn't we sell them?
- No, be patient and you'll soon...

...buy the car back from Luis.
You got a great deal.

Just keep cool,
and I'll change your life.

- What's this?
-1 must protect my hands.

- They so small.
- "Magic Gloves." Got them in Canada.

One size fits all. Great.

Canadians are amazing!

They are Chinese, not Canadian.

They're from Canada, but not Canadian.

-Like the cast in your movie.
- Yes. They cost a few cents.

Anyone can afford them.

Gloves anyone can wear and afford.

"Gloves for everybody."
I like that idea.

I think this is an opportunity
we can't miss.

They're predicting
an unusual cold wave.

With the new satellites,
weather forecasts are now so accurate.

The maps show cold air just
waiting to descend on B.A.

Temperatures will be lower
than ever this winter.

These magic gloves of yours
will make us rich.

People here don't know
what real cold is.

When the cold hits,
those gloves will sell like crazy.

Alejandro, I want to tell you something.

Don't settle for life as a driver.
Move on. Stocks went up again.

Now you can buy the car back
and get in on the gloves.

It's time to invest.

Luis, you're doing great now,
your career is flourishing.

But how much longer
will your body be up to it?

Soccer players and athletes
in general, invest...

...in bars, discos, restaurants,...

...so they can live well
when their bodies get tired.

Sell the car back to Alejandro and...

...invest on the Magic Gloves business.

Who wants a ride
in a Renault 12 nowadays? No one.

You're getting old and this
is your chance to come back...

...here, where your family,
your home, and your friends are.

Canada was fine for a time.
You travelled, made money,...

...but it's time to settle down.

We're not so different, you and I.

I love my music,
but I've always know music...

...doesn't put food on the table.
We must become capitalists.

I started out selling candy
at my parents' home...

...and look at me now.

3900, 4000, 4100, ...

...4.200, 4.300, 4.400, 4.500.

100, 200, 300, 400, 500...

So I bought the car back
and the three of us entered...

...the Magic Gloves business.

Ten thousand dozen Magic Gloves!

- How many dozens will $7,600 buy?
- Figure it out.

FOB price is $2 a dozen,
$3.5 if we include shipping costs.

Here, the wholesale price is 4.5,
and retail price is 0.75 a pair.

But it all depends on the market.

It's cold, so they sell more...

...you can add 30% on top of that.
Do the math.

- 7.600 divided by 9.
- Equals 844.44.

Of 10.000 Magic Gloves,
844 are yours.

- I'm not feeling very well.
- Depressed?

- Organic or emotional causes?
- Emotional.

I'm afraid it could turn organic.

Maybe you worried so much
about me you ended up...

...getting depressed yourself.

-You think so?
- The helper now needs help.

I bet it's neither just organic
nor just emotional.

That happens to masseurs,
they absorb people's tension.

Or psychologists.
They need supervisors...

...to help them get rid of
their patients' traumas.

-1 could prescribe her something.
- Daniel!

She could use my experience
and her prescriptions.

- Is the heat on?
- On full blast.

That window is always open.
I'll close it.

Leave that.

I've never seen anything like it.
We sold everything in a week.

Alejandro has to sell his car again.

We need cash to import
another 60,000 dozens.

He" 11 get $4,000 for the car.

- We'll triple that in two months.
- Sell that worthless car.

- What about the forecast?
- More polar weather.

We need more gloves.

Temperatures are going way down.

Argentina is not used to
such low temperatures.

- The crisis is about to end.
- Sell that piece of junk.

With 60,000 pairs of gloves
we'll warm 20,000 families.

I was planning to have it fixed up,
change the seats...

People are freezing and
all you think of is your car!

You'll be able to afford
an imported car with leather seats!

The second shipment left Hong Kong
on the coldest day...

...of the century
with only one week's delay.

I couldn't sell the car,
so Piranha got a loan shark...

...who lent me $4,000
so I wouldn't miss the deal.

Now we could only wait for the ship.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- What's up?
- Rivotril, Lexo.

- Dormicum and Halopidol.
- Alcohol?

Let's go, Susanna.
I'm taking her to yoga class.

Ever tried a few whiskies,
pills, and pot before class?

And meditation on top of that.
Must be like doping in sports.

I wonder if they reinforce
or annul each other.

- Good class, wasn't it?
- Great.

They haven't sold it yet.

-1 got a letter from Hugh.
- From who?

- Hugh, Luis's friend.
- The Canadian who's not Canadian.

He's not Canadian?
He wants me to move there.

Canada!
We should send Susana to Brazil.

A few days in the spa
would be great for you.

I could accompany
you on the flight.

Hugh offered to pay my ticket.

- Accept it, baby! - We should travel
as much as we can, girls.

You should accept the ticket,
they are quite expensive.

Canada!
I've never been there.

When I'm done with charters,
I'd love to go to Canada.

Now the US wants China to join
the WTO, you know why?

To get them into debt,
just like they did with us.

The Chinese market is huge.
Over 1.2 billion people!

Imagine the amount of food
and cigarettes they consume.

The ship was delayed another
week due to bad weather.

It got to Buenos Aires
the last Friday in June,

...a month before winter ended.

I'm optimistic.

Look, I'm going back to Canada.

I cancelled all my film
engagements to stay here.

Now I'll have to take
whatever comes up.

My agent says there might be something.

Nothing interesting, but I need
the cash and I must work while...

...I still have the body.
I tried to stay, but I couldn't get a job.

I don't want to end up as
a stripper in a third-rate bar.

There's no movie industry here...

...because we're all like a big family.

If I made a porno here,
people would point their fingers at me.

It's different in Canada.
You're anonymous there.

It's a developed country.

We still have a chance.
I'm sure cold weather'll be back soon.

Temperatures will drop tonight.
I'm optimistic.

Luis and Cecilia flew to Canada
before the heat wave ended.

Luis's going to make a movie
in the woods near Vancouver,...

...and he camouflaged his hair.
Hugh was waiting for Cecilia.

Then Piranha decided to send
Susana to a spa in Brazil.

On their way to the airport,
they returned Lutor to me.

Luis was gone,
so there was no allergy problems.

Two weeks later Susana called
Piranha from Brazil...

...and asked him to sent Lutor to Brazil.
She never came back.

Lutor and I never got along,...

...so I didn't mind returning him
to Susana.

The car took forever to sell,
longer than we all expected.

When it did, I had to give all
the money to the loan shark...

...who'd lent me the money
for the Magic Gloves business.

-Hello.
- Hello! Come in.

It's so good to see you again.

- Did you have a good trip?
- Yes. A bit long,

It's great to be back visiting.
Remember Alejandro, honey?

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

- Right! We saw your car
on our way here. - My car?

I saw it from our taxi.
It looked different, but it was your car.

- Different, how?
- Sportier. But I'm sure it was yours.

I can't make Luis out
in this picture.

Don't you recognize your own brother?

- It's not so easy.
- Let me see.

No idea.

He's the one covered in wax.

Luis must be the one who's tied up.

Why did they go to Iguazu to film that?

Remember what Luis did to
his hair before he left?

- The camouflage?
- That was...

- ...for a movie he did in Canada.
- What did he play? A tree?

He played a guy hiding out
in the Canadian wilderness.

It's not finished yet.
Hugh's in it, too.

- It was shot in a park near Vancouver.
- Canada!

- Tell us about your life there.
- Canada is so cold we should...

...sell them our Magic Gloves.

Canada!
And I'm still stuck with charter flights.

I can't wait to go
on international flights.

Did you know Alejandro
now works as a bus driver?

He had no choice.
At least we're both in transportation.

We hadn't had a day off together
for 2 months.

Canada!

It's a bit cold today.

Yes, it is.
Positively chilly.
