1
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:02,970
<i>Vicky and Cristina decided
to spend the summer in Barcelona.</i>

2
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:06,010
<i>Vicky was completing her master's
in Catalan Identity,</i>

3
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:07,640
<i>which she had become interested in</i>

4
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:10,560
<i>through her great affection
for the architecture of Gaud�.</i>

5
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,770
<i>Cristina, who spent the last six months</i>

6
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,530
<i>writing, directing, and acting in
a 12-minute film which she then hated,</i>

7
00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:19,740
<i>had just broken up
with yet another boyfriend</i>

8
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:21,740
<i>and longed for a change of scenery.</i>

9
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:23,160
<i>Everything fell into place</i>

10
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,030
<i>when a distant relative of Vicky's family
who lived in Barcelona</i>

11
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,910
<i>offered to put both girls up
for July and August.</i>

12
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:31,960
<i>The two best friends
had been close since college</i>

13
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,710
<i>and shared the same tastes
and opinions on most matters,</i>

14
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:36,750
<i>yet when it came to the subject of love,</i>

15
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,050
<i>it would be hard to find
two more dissimilar viewpoints.</i>

16
00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:43,510
<i>Vicky had no tolerance for pain
and no lust for combat.</i>

17
00:02:43,590 --> 00:02:46,050
<i>She was grounded and realistic.</i>

18
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:49,140
<i>Her requirements in a man
were seriousness and stability.</i>

19
00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:53,190
<i>She had become engaged to Doug
because he was decent and successful</i>

20
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:55,520
<i>and understood
the beauty of commitment.</i>

21
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:58,570
Yeah, I miss you, too.

22
00:02:58,650 --> 00:03:00,280
<i>Cristina, on the other hand,</i>

23
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,110
<i>expected something
very different out of love.</i>

24
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,330
<i>She had reluctantly accepted suffering
as an inevitable component of deep passion,</i>

25
00:03:07,410 --> 00:03:10,000
<i>and was resigned to putting
her feelings at risk.</i>

26
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,420
<i>If you asked her what it was
she was gambling her emotions on to win,</i>

27
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,170
<i>she would not have been able to say.</i>

28
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:17,130
<i>She knew what she didn't want, however,</i>

29
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:20,340
<i>and that was exactly
what Vicky valued above all else.</i>

30
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,300
Hello?

31
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:27,640
Oh, hello.

32
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,180
- Hi.
- Hi!

33
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:31,310
- You're Vicky.
- Yes, yes.

34
00:03:31,390 --> 00:03:32,810
You're so grown up!

35
00:03:32,890 --> 00:03:36,310
- Well, it's been a while.
- Hola, welcome to Barcelona.

36
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,770
- Hi. Cristina.
- Oh, Cristina, I'm Judy.

37
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,150
- This is your room.
- Oh, perfect!

38
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,360
- I put you together.
- This is gorgeous.

39
00:03:43,450 --> 00:03:46,320
Judy, thank you so much
for having me here, because I know...

40
00:03:46,410 --> 00:03:49,370
you know, it's so last-minute
and you don't know me at all.

41
00:03:49,450 --> 00:03:51,870
To include me is just so sweet of you.

42
00:03:51,950 --> 00:03:55,460
It's so nice to have
a little action around here.

43
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:58,420
It's been so quiet
since Arthur went off to college.

44
00:03:58,500 --> 00:03:59,880
<i>After the girls unpacked</i>

45
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,550
<i>and Judy's husband Mark
got home from the golf course,</i>

46
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:04,300
<i>lunch was served on the terrace.</i>

47
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:06,550
...beautiful home.
- We've come to love it.

48
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,430
He makes friends with anybody
and he speaks the language,

49
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:11,100
so he was like, "Whee!"

50
00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:12,770
You learned just fine.

51
00:04:12,850 --> 00:04:14,560
So, what do you do, Cristina?

52
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,730
I am currently at liberty.

53
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:19,520
Oh, come on.
She... she made a film.

54
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:22,070
- How exciting!
- Yes, 12 minutes.

55
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:23,490
What was it about?

56
00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:29,490
About? It was about
why love is so hard to define.

57
00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:32,870
Wow, that's a mighty big subject
to handle in 12 minutes.

58
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,290
Vicky, you're getting
your master's in something.

59
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:39,830
Yeah, my master's in Catalan Identity.

60
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,710
Ah, well...

61
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,510
What do you plan on doing with that?

62
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:47,470
Oh, God, I don't know.
Maybe teaching, maybe curating.

63
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:49,930
Well, you don't have
to do something, you know.

64
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:52,560
But she's marrying
this wonderful man in the fall,

65
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,350
and all of her conflicts will be resolved
when he makes her pregnant.

66
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:01,230
Well, now that Judy's decided your future...

67
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:04,990
To, uh, your summer in Barcelona.

68
00:05:05,070 --> 00:05:06,360
- Welcome.
- Salud.

69
00:05:06,450 --> 00:05:08,490
<i>- Cheers.
- Salud.</i>

70
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:11,580
<i>In the days that followed,</i>

71
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:15,080
<i>Vicky and Cristina drank in
the artistic treasures of the city.</i>

72
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,420
<i>They particularly enjoyed
the works of Gaud� and Mir�.</i>

73
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:33,260
<i>Once, Mark and Judy
invited Vicky and Cristina</i>

74
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:35,890
<i>to go sailing with them
on Mark's boat.</i>

75
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:38,310
<i>With Cristina in mind,</i>

76
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:41,770
<i>Mark and Judy asked along
the son of one of his business partners,</i>

77
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:44,270
<i>an eligible young man
Mark thought she might like.</i>

78
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,360
My dream is to accumulate enough wealth
and sail off to an island somewhere

79
00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:49,570
and spend the rest
of my days snorkeling.

80
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:51,490
I'm actually a snorkeling nut.

81
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:54,410
Have you ever snorkeled before?

82
00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:59,960
<i>Unfortunately, Charles and Cristina
were not a match made in heaven.</i>

83
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,130
<i>Vicky, meanwhile, researched
every aspect of Catalan life,</i>

84
00:06:04,210 --> 00:06:06,810
<i>even getting a tour of the market
and a local restaurant</i>

85
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:09,060
<i>to delve into Catalan cooking.</i>

86
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,980
<i>On balmy summer nights,</i>

87
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:14,690
<i>the girls would sometimes
go to hear Spanish guitar music,</i>

88
00:06:14,770 --> 00:06:18,150
<i>which never failed to move Vicky
in some magical way.</i>

89
00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:35,500
<i>One evening, Mark and Judy took them
to the opening of a friend's art gallery.</i>

90
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:38,460
<i>Many local artists
and a number of collectors attended.</i>

91
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:39,760
Do you like them?

92
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:41,930
I do.
Thank you so much for taking us.

93
00:06:42,010 --> 00:06:43,930
You know, we buy from this gallery.

94
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:47,890
Mark has commissioned this artist
to do this series of pictures

95
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:50,430
for his office walls, so...

96
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,060
- I think they'll be beauti...
- Is that the artist over there?

97
00:06:53,150 --> 00:06:54,400
- Where?
- In the red?

98
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,730
Uh, no. No, no, no.

99
00:06:56,820 --> 00:06:59,070
That's not... no.

100
00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:01,240
Uh, Alfred is...

101
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,740
Oh, no, he's the gentleman
in the linen coat, right there.

102
00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:06,160
- Oh.
- That's him.

103
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,660
Um... I don't know who that is.

104
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:14,120
Uh, Mark, who is that gentleman
in the red shirt over there?

105
00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:16,500
- Who?
- The gentleman in the red shirt.

106
00:07:16,590 --> 00:07:19,130
- Who is that?
- Oh. He's a painter.

107
00:07:19,210 --> 00:07:21,260
Remember, Diego told us about him?

108
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:24,680
He had that fiery relationship
with that beautiful woman who was nuts?

109
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,930
- Oh, my God!
- With the violent fighting...

110
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:29,260
- Oh, yes, yes, yes!
- He had the messy divorce.

111
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:31,470
- Oh, my God!
- It was in all the newspapers.

112
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,940
Oh, my God. Um, his name
is Juan Antonio Gonzalo,

113
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:39,770
and he had this hot divorce
and she tried to kill him.

114
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:41,400
- Or he tried to kill her.
- What?

115
00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:44,110
It was this, like,
really big thing in the art world.

116
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,070
I can't remember the details,
but he, you know, he...

117
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,870
We don't move in those
bohemian circles, so I don't know.

118
00:07:57,630 --> 00:08:01,420
<i>Vicky and Cristina left the art gallery
and decided to go for dinner.</i>

119
00:08:01,510 --> 00:08:04,670
<i>They strolled past the church
in the wonderful summer night air</i>

120
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,300
<i>while people celebrated,</i>

121
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:09,220
<i>finally winding up around midnight
at a little restaurant.</i>

122
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:13,480
Well, it's just nice to be able
to not have to worry about

123
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,520
if some place is gonna stay open, or...

124
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,150
Yeah, but you... we probably should be
worrying about our, you know, dreams.

125
00:08:21,190 --> 00:08:23,110
What are you... who are you looking at?

126
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:27,110
Isn't that the... isn't that the painter
we just saw at the gallery?

127
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Oh, yeah, right. He's the...
the painter with the bad divorce...

128
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,410
Mark told us... I was half-listening.

129
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:35,960
He was looking over here.

130
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,210
Well, that's because
you keep provoking contact.

131
00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:40,960
- I'm not provoking contact!
- You are.

132
00:08:41,050 --> 00:08:43,340
You've been throwing
little looks at him all night.

133
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:45,130
I'm just drinking my wine.

134
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:46,720
Mm-hmm, yeah, of course you are.

135
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,550
You must be doing something,
because, uh, he's coming over.

136
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,690
American?

137
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:10,110
I'm Cristina,
and this is my friend Vicky.

138
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,160
What color are your eyes?

139
00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:16,700
Uh... they're blue.

140
00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:21,670
I'd like to invite you both
to come with me to Oviedo.

141
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:23,130
To come where?

142
00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:25,760
To Oviedo.
For the weekend.

143
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,670
We leave in one hour.

144
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,680
What... where is Oviedo?

145
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,720
- A very short flight.
- By plane?

146
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,850
What's in Oviedo?

147
00:09:33,930 --> 00:09:37,180
I go to see a sculpture
that is very inspiring to me.

148
00:09:37,270 --> 00:09:39,440
Very beautiful sculpture.
You will love it.

149
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,190
Oh, right, you're asking us
to fly to Oviedo and back.

150
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,900
No, we'll spend the weekend.

151
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:51,610
I mean, I'll show you around the city
and we'll eat well,

152
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:55,120
we'll drink good wine,
we'll make love.

153
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,250
Yeah, well, who exactly
is going to "make love"?

154
00:09:58,330 --> 00:10:00,330
Hopefully, the three of us.

155
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:02,040
- Oh, my God.
- I'll get your bill.

156
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:04,500
Jesus, this guy!
He doesn't beat around the bush.

157
00:10:04,590 --> 00:10:07,840
Look, se�or, maybe in a different life.

158
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:14,680
Why not? Life is short,
life is dull, life is full of pain,

159
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,020
and this is a chance
for something special.

160
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,480
Right, well, who exactly are you?

161
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,730
I am Juan Antonio.
And you are...

162
00:10:22,730 --> 00:10:25,860
Vicky, and you are Cristina, right?

163
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:28,440
Or is it the other way around?

164
00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:30,700
- Yeah, that's right.
- It could be the other way around,

165
00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:32,070
because frankly it doesn't matter,

166
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,120
because either of us will do
to keep the bed warm.

167
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,660
You know, I get it.

168
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:38,200
Well, you are both
so lovely and beautiful.

169
00:10:38,290 --> 00:10:41,750
Yeah, thank you,
but we do not fly off to make love

170
00:10:41,830 --> 00:10:45,710
with whoever invites us
to charming little Spanish towns.

171
00:10:45,790 --> 00:10:49,800
Does she always
analyze every inspiration

172
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,510
until its grain of charm is...

173
00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:55,930
Uh...

174
00:10:56,010 --> 00:10:57,680
squeezed out of it?

175
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,770
I guess I have to say that I'm...

176
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,400
My eyes are green, actually.

177
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,860
Oh, God, look...

178
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:12,490
I wouldn't call our reluctance
to leap at your sexual offer

179
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:14,110
being over-analytical.

180
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,030
If you would care to join us
for some recognized form

181
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,410
of social interaction,
like a drink, then we'd be fine,

182
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:26,290
but otherwise, I think you should try,
you know, offering to some other table.

183
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,380
What offended you about the offer?

184
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,720
Surely not that I find you both
beautiful and desirable?

185
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,130
Offended me? No.

186
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:39,390
It's very amusing...
galling, to be honest... but...

187
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,930
Is it my imagination,
or is it getting late?

188
00:11:43,020 --> 00:11:45,560
- Shall we go?
- I would love to go to Oviedo.

189
00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:47,020
What? Are you kidding?

190
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:48,860
- Can we discuss...
- I think it would be so much fun.

191
00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:50,860
I think we should go.
I would love to go.

192
00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:53,490
Cristina, can we discuss this
some other time, when...

193
00:11:53,570 --> 00:11:56,610
You know, when I saw you
across the room at the art gallery,

194
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:00,660
I noticed you have, uh, beautiful lips.

195
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:03,200
Very full, very sensual.

196
00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:04,500
Thank you.

197
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:06,750
Okay, okay, look.
If you want to go...

198
00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:10,630
Well, I can't guarantee the lovemaking,
because I happen to be very moody.

199
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:13,720
Let's not negotiate like a contract.

200
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,010
I came over here with no subterfuge
and presented my best offer.

201
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,720
Now I hope you will discuss it
and give me the pleasure

202
00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:23,470
to take you with me to Oviedo.

203
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,140
I have the good fortune
to borrow my friend's plane.

204
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:29,900
It is just big enough for the three of us,
and I am a very good pilot.

205
00:12:29,980 --> 00:12:31,610
Oh, it sounds very safe.

206
00:12:32,650 --> 00:12:34,070
Think it over.

207
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,450
I hope you're joking about going.

208
00:12:40,530 --> 00:12:42,540
My God, this guy is so interesting.

209
00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:44,410
Interesting?
What's so interesting?

210
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:46,250
He wants to get us both into bed.

211
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:49,080
You know, but he'll settle for either,
in this case you.

212
00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:51,750
Vicky, I'm a big girl, okay?

213
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,510
If I want to sleep with him I will;
if not, I won't.

214
00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:56,590
Cristina, he's a total stranger.

215
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,680
This is impulsive even for you.

216
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,430
And, if I heard right,
he was violent with his wife.

217
00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:05,930
At least he's not one of those
factory-made zombies, you know?

218
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:08,190
I mean, this would be
a great way to get to know him.

219
00:13:08,270 --> 00:13:09,440
No, it's not.

220
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,940
I'm not going to Oviedo
with this charmingly candid wife beater.

221
00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:17,490
You find his aggressiveness
attractive, but I don't.

222
00:13:17,570 --> 00:13:20,030
I mean, he's certainly not handsome.

223
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,780
Well, I think he's very handsome.
He's got a great look.

224
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:25,040
I mean, he's,
you know, he's really sexy.

225
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,330
Mm-hmm, well, you would,
because you're a neurotic.

226
00:13:28,420 --> 00:13:30,370
You gotta admire
his no-bullshit approach.

227
00:13:30,460 --> 00:13:32,500
What are you talking about?
It's all bullshit.

228
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:36,340
I'm not going to Oviedo.
First off, I never heard of Oviedo.

229
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:37,920
I don't find him winning.

230
00:13:38,010 --> 00:13:40,800
Third, even if I wasn't engaged
and was free to have

231
00:13:40,890 --> 00:13:44,720
some kind of dalliance with a Spaniard,
I wouldn't pick this one.

232
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:45,930
Hello?

233
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,310
Hi. Oh, hi.
I can't talk right now.

234
00:13:48,390 --> 00:13:53,860
I'm trying to save Cristina
from making a potentially fatal mistake.

235
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:56,940
What? No, the usual.

236
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:58,780
Yeah, I'll call you back.

237
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:00,280
I love you, too.

238
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,160
If we go back to the house now,

239
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,910
we can just throw some things
in a bag and meet him there.

240
00:14:04,990 --> 00:14:07,330
Look, I took
an instant liking to this guy.

241
00:14:07,410 --> 00:14:10,670
I mean, he's not one
of these cookie-cutter molds.

242
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:13,380
He's creative and he's artistic and...

243
00:14:13,460 --> 00:14:16,300
Cookie-cutter mold?
Is that what you think of Doug?

244
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:18,670
Doug? Who said anything about Doug?

245
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,890
It's ridiculous. You like the way it sounds,
to pick up and fly off in an airplane.

246
00:14:23,970 --> 00:14:27,350
I know. I don't know why I'm so scared,
unless I'm scared of myself.

247
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:29,560
It's a mistake, Cristina.

248
00:14:37,820 --> 00:14:40,860
They predicted a little storm
out of the town, out of Oviedo,

249
00:14:40,950 --> 00:14:42,410
but it's nothing serious.

250
00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:43,780
Don't you worry, really.

251
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:45,200
As you can see here...

252
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:49,660
Here it's just...
just a little bumpy, all right?

253
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:54,580
Would you like to fly it?

254
00:14:54,670 --> 00:14:56,040
Oh, no thank you.

255
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:59,300
It's easy.
It's even easier than a car. Try it.

256
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:07,350
<i>By early morning,
they had reached their destination</i>

257
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:11,140
<i>and proceeded to a hotel
that Juan Antonio had selected for them.</i>

258
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,160
<i>Vicky made sure she and Cristina
had their own room...</i>

259
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,530
<i>and Juan Antonio had his.</i>

260
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:19,990
<i>If he was disappointed,
he hid it well.</i>

261
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:23,920
<i>After freshening up,
he took them to see the sculpture</i>

262
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,540
<i>that was so meaningful to him.</i>

263
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:28,960
- Are you very religious?
- No, no, I'm not.

264
00:15:29,050 --> 00:15:30,760
The trick is to enjoy life,

265
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,840
accepting it has
no meaning whatsoever.

266
00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:34,970
- Right.
- No meaning?

267
00:15:35,050 --> 00:15:37,890
You don't think that authentic love
gives life meaning?

268
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:40,890
Yes, but love is so transient.

269
00:15:40,970 --> 00:15:42,350
Isn't it?

270
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:45,690
I was in love with
a most incredible woman...

271
00:15:46,770 --> 00:15:50,520
and then in the end...

272
00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:53,530
Yes?

273
00:15:53,610 --> 00:15:56,110
She put a knife into me.

274
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,120
My God, that's terrible.

275
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,530
Maybe you did something
to deserve it.

276
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,790
<i>Juan Antonio
took his guests for lunch.</i>

277
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:07,330
<i>They discussed art and romance.</i>

278
00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:10,130
<i>He was full of stories
about Maria Elena, his ex-wife,</i>

279
00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:13,010
<i>whom he both criticized and idolized.</i>

280
00:16:14,010 --> 00:16:15,840
<i>He proved to be a good host,</i>

281
00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:18,390
<i>and in the afternoon
he took them to see the local sights,</i>

282
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:21,390
<i>where they enjoyed hearing
about the city and took photos.</i>

283
00:16:30,730 --> 00:16:33,530
<i>Later, they bought candy and cakes
at a charming sweet shop,</i>

284
00:16:33,610 --> 00:16:36,070
<i>which were homemade and delicious.</i>

285
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,200
<i>They continued to document their trip,</i>

286
00:16:43,290 --> 00:16:45,040
<i>and while Vicky remained skeptical,</i>

287
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,120
<i>Cristina had a wonderful time.</i>

288
00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:57,170
<i>The question of sleeping together
did not come up until that night,</i>

289
00:16:57,260 --> 00:16:59,340
<i>and Juan Antonio was a little drunk.</i>

290
00:16:59,430 --> 00:17:01,100
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.

291
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:03,430
All right.

292
00:17:05,430 --> 00:17:09,730
Well, now that the day's almost over...

293
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:16,150
is it reasonable of me to ask you
if you'll both join me in my room?

294
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,070
Oh, come on, I thought we'd settled that.

295
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Vicky's just trying to say
that she's engaged to be married, that's all.

296
00:17:21,330 --> 00:17:23,410
Great. Then these are
her last days of freedom.

297
00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:27,160
No. Look, I'm not free.
I'm committed.

298
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:30,540
You know what my theory is...
and when I drink, I get brutally frank...

299
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:33,290
I think that you're still hurting

300
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:36,880
from the failure of your marriage
to Maria Elena,

301
00:17:36,970 --> 00:17:40,510
and you're trying to lose yourself
in empty sex.

302
00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:42,140
Empty sex?

303
00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:44,930
Do you have such
a low opinion of yourself?

304
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:48,140
She's just saying that it has to have
meaning for her, that's all.

305
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:53,060
I mean, the city's romantic,
the night is warm and balmy,

306
00:17:53,150 --> 00:17:55,610
we are alive...
isn't that meaning enough?

307
00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:58,240
Hey, look, I just came along
to keep Cristina company.

308
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,070
I'm engaged to be married.

309
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,490
I have a handsome, lovely fianc�
who I make love with,

310
00:18:04,580 --> 00:18:07,910
and also holds
a very real place in my heart,

311
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,120
and to be perfectly frank,
Juan Antonio,

312
00:18:10,210 --> 00:18:12,460
if I were the type of person
that played around,

313
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:14,420
I don't think it's in the cards for us.

314
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:19,090
So, I'm tired,
I haven't slept in 24 hours,

315
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:21,680
and that is exactly
what I am going to do.

316
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,140
And you?

317
00:18:26,010 --> 00:18:30,770
I'll go to your room,
but... you have to seduce me.

318
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,400
- Hello.
- Hello.

319
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:41,950
I am just here
to have a quick drink...

320
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:43,610
to say thank you,

321
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:45,870
and then I'm going to go
back to my room.

322
00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:48,790
All right.

323
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:51,410
Did you act
in the small film you made?

324
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:53,790
Did I act?
Yeah, I acted. Why?

325
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,920
I hope you were
more convincing than you are

326
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,590
when you pretend to have come here
for one quick drink.

327
00:19:00,630 --> 00:19:04,430
I am here to go to bed with you.
You're right, um...

328
00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:10,770
So you're pretty much home free,
unless you... blow it.

329
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:12,230
- Blow it?
- Yeah.

330
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:15,690
"Blow it."
You mean ruin the moment?

331
00:19:15,770 --> 00:19:16,980
Yeah.

332
00:19:17,070 --> 00:19:18,900
Oh. And how would I do that?

333
00:19:20,110 --> 00:19:21,610
Um, I don't know.

334
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,910
It could be anything
from some inane comment

335
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:29,030
to wearing the wrong kind of shorts.

336
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,500
Although...
somehow by looking at you,

337
00:19:32,580 --> 00:19:35,330
I think you're wearing
the right kind of shorts.

338
00:19:35,420 --> 00:19:38,130
You're very hard to please.

339
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:41,920
Yeah, well. I am famous
for my intolerance.

340
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:43,010
Here.

341
00:19:46,090 --> 00:19:50,430
What do you want in life
besides a man with the right shorts?

342
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:52,600
Mmm...

343
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:55,190
I don't know.

344
00:19:56,690 --> 00:20:01,530
I know I'm not gonna settle
till I find what I'm looking for.

345
00:20:01,610 --> 00:20:03,650
Mm, which is what?

346
00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:07,240
Um.

347
00:20:09,030 --> 00:20:11,330
Something... else.

348
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:14,080
I want something different,
something more...

349
00:20:15,290 --> 00:20:19,840
some sort of counterintuitive love.

350
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,460
Meaning?

351
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:26,630
Meaning...

352
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,390
I don't know.

353
00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:32,470
I don't know what I want.

354
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,390
I only know what I don't want.

355
00:20:35,390 --> 00:20:39,900
If you don't start undressing me soon,
this is gonna turn into a panel discussion.

356
00:20:57,170 --> 00:20:58,620
What? Are you okay?

357
00:20:58,710 --> 00:21:01,340
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
It's something I ate.

358
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:04,130
What's wrong?
Can I get you anything?

359
00:21:04,210 --> 00:21:06,630
Um, no, I...

360
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,880
- I shouldn't be drinking.
- What happened?

361
00:21:08,970 --> 00:21:10,140
I'm going to be sick.

362
00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:16,770
It's her ulcer, and perhaps
a little food poisoning, maybe both.

363
00:21:16,850 --> 00:21:17,890
Oh, my God, both?

364
00:21:17,980 --> 00:21:19,440
She must just "ret," not eat.

365
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,020
- Okay, rest?
- Yeah, rest. Rest.

366
00:21:22,110 --> 00:21:25,940
<i>With Cristina stuck in bed,
Vicky was anxious to get back to Barcelona</i>

367
00:21:26,030 --> 00:21:27,490
<i>and in no mood to sightsee.</i>

368
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:28,740
Uh-huh, oh, okay.

369
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:32,950
Well, when he gets out of his meeting,
can you get him to call me on my cell?

370
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:35,040
Yeah, I'm still stuck in Oviedo.

371
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,870
<i>But sightsee is what they did.</i>

372
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,830
I feel very sorry about Cristina.

373
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,130
Oh, come on.

374
00:21:42,210 --> 00:21:44,500
Don't pretend concern.

375
00:21:44,590 --> 00:21:48,050
I'm sure that you kept
encouraging her to drink,

376
00:21:48,130 --> 00:21:50,380
as you did to both of us
throughout dinner.

377
00:21:50,470 --> 00:21:52,680
But I can hold my liquor.

378
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,680
She never mentioned her ulcer.

379
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,180
No, no, because
she's a mental adolescent,

380
00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:03,270
and being romantic,
she has a death wish.

381
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,860
So, for a brief moment of passion,

382
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:10,200
she completely abandons
all responsibilities.

383
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:15,950
<i>After lunch, Juan Antonio took Vicky
to see the old lighthouse at Avil�s,</i>

384
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,910
<i>which she found very beautiful.</i>

385
00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:22,120
Uh, I was born near here, and...

386
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:26,840
it would be a sin if I came out here
without paying a visit to my father.

387
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,300
Will be that boring to you?

388
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:30,340
Bor... no.

389
00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:32,300
No, I think that... that would be

390
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:35,680
the first genuinely interesting
proposition you've made me.

391
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,390
I would love to see
your father and his house.

392
00:22:56,740 --> 00:22:58,540
Buenos d�as.

393
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:00,200
- My father, Julio.
- Julio.

394
00:23:00,290 --> 00:23:02,540
<i>Buenos d�as.
Qu� casa tan bonita.</i>

395
00:23:04,790 --> 00:23:07,420
Oh. You know, if we carry on,
I don't think it's gonna...

396
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:08,880
It's fine. That was great.

397
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,210
He speaks no English.

398
00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:17,220
I'm sure my Spanish is going to go.

399
00:23:17,310 --> 00:23:19,310
He refuses to speak
any other language,

400
00:23:19,390 --> 00:23:21,520
and that's an important point
with my father, actually.

401
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Really, it is? Why?

402
00:23:22,690 --> 00:23:24,400
Because he's a poet,

403
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,020
and he writes the most beautiful sentences
in the Spanish language,

404
00:23:28,110 --> 00:23:29,980
but he, I don't know,
he doesn't believe

405
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:34,030
that a poet should pollute
his words by any other tongue.

406
00:23:34,110 --> 00:23:36,740
- Which is quite a...
- No. No, it makes sense.

407
00:23:36,830 --> 00:23:40,910
I understand, 'cause of the translation
and the things you might lose.

408
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,830
I mean, I took some Spanish.

409
00:23:42,910 --> 00:23:46,040
I... of course,
I have no flair for languages.

410
00:23:46,130 --> 00:23:48,250
- I read it much better than I speak it.
- Mm-hmm.

411
00:23:48,340 --> 00:23:51,090
Maybe I could read your father?

412
00:23:51,170 --> 00:23:53,510
No, but he doesn't publish.
That's the point.

413
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:55,050
Why not?

414
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:57,010
Be... I'll explain later.

415
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:58,470
You want some co�ac?

416
00:24:00,010 --> 00:24:03,180
Yes, thank you, just a very...
very, very little bit.

417
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:13,440
Eh, Maria Elena, Maria Elena...

418
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,730
This was my favorite place
to come and read when I was young.

419
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:42,070
Yes, I wanted to be a writer,
not a painter.

420
00:24:42,150 --> 00:24:43,820
Painting came later.

421
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:46,320
And I wanted to play music, too.

422
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,200
I mean, all I knew is that I was full of,

423
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,240
I don't know, real emotion,
and I had to find a way to express it.

424
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:56,250
Cristina says the same thing.

425
00:24:56,330 --> 00:24:58,830
Cristina's a very interesting girl.
Want to sit?

426
00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,920
Yeah.

427
00:25:01,090 --> 00:25:06,880
So, uh, tell me, why won't
your father publish his poems?

428
00:25:07,970 --> 00:25:11,010
Well, because he hates the world,

429
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,390
and that's his way
of getting back at them,

430
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:16,310
to create beautiful works and then...

431
00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:20,310
to deny them to the public,
which I think it's...

432
00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:22,440
My God.

433
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,030
Well, what makes him so angry
toward the human race?

434
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:30,820
Because after thousands
of years of civilization,

435
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:33,330
they still haven't learned to love.

436
00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:36,870
<i>They returned to the hotel.</i>

437
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,750
<i>Cristina was feeling better,
but far too shaky,</i>

438
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:41,630
<i>and needed more rest.</i>

439
00:25:41,710 --> 00:25:45,750
<i>Vicky and Juan Antonio dined
together at lovely little restaurant.</i>

440
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,470
<i>She was more relaxed than at lunch,
and had just finished a great deal of wine.</i>

441
00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:52,800
<i>This time, she was enjoying
the conversation.</i>

442
00:25:52,890 --> 00:25:54,560
...no place on earth.

443
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,470
My father used to bring me here.

444
00:26:02,810 --> 00:26:03,810
Hello?

445
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,780
Hey. Did I get you
at a bad time, babe?

446
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:09,400
Oh, hi, no.
I'm just about to eat.

447
00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:11,280
Can I, uh, call you back?

448
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:12,570
Let me just say one thing.

449
00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:14,780
Paul and Maryanne said they found
a house up where they are

450
00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:17,540
that they liked even better
than the one in Bedford Hills.

451
00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:21,330
Oh, yeah?
Y-y-you're breaking up a little.

452
00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:26,420
Babe? Call me later,
but this house has a pool and a tennis court.

453
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,630
Okay? We could both take lessons
from Paul's instructor.

454
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,550
Okay, I'll call you back.
I can't hear you.

455
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,010
I love you.

456
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:38,020
Uh... Oh, God.

457
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:39,850
Connection's terrible.

458
00:26:44,860 --> 00:26:46,150
- Oh, thank you.
- Here.

459
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,610
What is this wine?

460
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:50,320
- It's delicious.
- It's great.

461
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:54,160
Was that your fianc�?

462
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,990
Uh, yes, yes.

463
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,750
Why were you so nervous,
speaking to him?

464
00:26:59,830 --> 00:27:01,620
What, was I nervous?

465
00:27:01,710 --> 00:27:03,870
Yes. You turned red.

466
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,460
Well...

467
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:07,710
Well, I'm sure it's the wine.

468
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,550
Would he be upset if he knew
we were dining together?

469
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:12,380
No, not at all.
Are you kidding?

470
00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:17,930
I mean, I don't think he'd love
the basic concept of me

471
00:27:18,010 --> 00:27:21,480
sitting with a man,
drinking wine over candlelight,

472
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,060
but he'd quickly realize
there'd be nothing to worry about, so...

473
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:29,780
Would you ever withhold your work
from the public out of rage?

474
00:27:29,860 --> 00:27:31,940
No, no, no, not like my father.

475
00:27:32,030 --> 00:27:33,610
Oh no, I told you...

476
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:36,450
I affirm life despite everything.

477
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,200
Right, right.

478
00:27:39,290 --> 00:27:44,410
Well... I'd be curious
to see your work.

479
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:46,460
Really?

480
00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:51,300
Why? I mean,
you are so disapproving of me.

481
00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:53,670
Well, I've gotten to know you better,

482
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,050
and, you know, it'd be interesting,

483
00:27:57,140 --> 00:28:00,350
and, after all, you are a Catalan painter,
and that's my subject.

484
00:28:00,430 --> 00:28:02,810
What gave you such an interest
in Catalan culture?

485
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:08,560
Well, uh... I, uh, fell in love
with Gaud�'s church when I was 14,

486
00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:10,480
and one thing led to another.

487
00:28:10,570 --> 00:28:16,820
Hmm. And, uh, you also admire
Spanish guitar, I hear?

488
00:28:16,910 --> 00:28:19,830
Yes, yes. I love the guitar.

489
00:28:19,910 --> 00:28:23,830
Would you like to go to hear
some wonderful guitar tonight?

490
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:25,370
- Tonight?
- Mm-hmm.

491
00:28:26,420 --> 00:28:29,330
Well, it's a little late,

492
00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:32,880
and, you know,
I'm a little wobbly from the wine.

493
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,220
You said you could hold your alcohol.

494
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,800
Besides, we leave tomorrow.

495
00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:42,720
Okay, sure.

496
00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:43,970
Great.

497
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:44,370
That was, uh...
that was unbelievable.

498
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:45,790
Thank you. Thank you.

499
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:49,290
I was looking at your face,
and you looked very moved.

500
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:50,370
Yes, yes.

501
00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:52,460
A few times I saw a look like that.

502
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,210
Right, and on Maria Elena, I'm sure.

503
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,090
Well, yes, maybe on Maria Elena,

504
00:29:57,170 --> 00:30:01,300
when she saw or heard
something that moved her, yes.

505
00:30:01,390 --> 00:30:03,220
You...

506
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,220
You're still in love with her.

507
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,930
No, I'm not. I'm not.

508
00:30:09,020 --> 00:30:11,230
Mmm, that confirms it.

509
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,860
No, she will always
be a part of me,

510
00:30:13,940 --> 00:30:16,690
and she's
an important person in my life,

511
00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:21,360
but for the two of us,
something was not working.

512
00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:24,320
What element?

513
00:30:24,410 --> 00:30:26,240
We never found out.

514
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,920
You said you were looking at my face.

515
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:39,210
Why?

516
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:41,340
Why were you looking at mine?

517
00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:42,680
Was I?

518
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,800
You probably saw my tears.

519
00:30:44,890 --> 00:30:45,930
Yes.

520
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:48,270
Yeah, um...

521
00:30:48,350 --> 00:30:50,310
I'm a little out of control.

522
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:53,980
I was looking at your face
because I find it very beautiful.

523
00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:55,400
You do?

524
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,940
Of course I do.

525
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,610
Of course I do,
and you know I do.

526
00:31:32,730 --> 00:31:34,390
<i>On the trip home, Vicky,</i>

527
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,610
<i>who had mentioned nothing
to Cristina, was silent.</i>

528
00:31:37,690 --> 00:31:39,770
<i>Cristina, on the other hand,
talked nervously.</i>

529
00:31:39,860 --> 00:31:43,900
I must apologize to both of you
for ruining the whole weekend!

530
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:47,160
I'm completely mortified.
I'm humiliated.

531
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,080
I don't know whether it was the wine...
it could've been the shellfish.

532
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,160
Because, you know,
I have this ulcer,

533
00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:56,460
and I just thank God you knew
enough sights to keep Vicky occupied.

534
00:31:56,540 --> 00:32:00,420
You know, I had these horrible nightmares
that you two would be like oil and water,

535
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,760
hating every minute
of being together.

536
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,840
I just couldn't move.

537
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:09,890
<i>Vicky buried herself in work
at the library.</i>

538
00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:13,890
<i>She put foolish ideas out of her head
and concentrated on her thesis,</i>

539
00:32:13,980 --> 00:32:17,150
<i>but she found her thoughts
frequently returning to Oviedo.</i>

540
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,360
<i>Cristina, searching for
a means of self-expression,</i>

541
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,530
<i>wandered the streets
of Barcelona,</i>

542
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:27,570
<i>experimented with
her latest passion, photography,</i>

543
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:29,990
<i>and believed that she
had made a fool of herself</i>

544
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,450
<i>exactly at the moment of truth
with Juan Antonio.</i>

545
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:35,500
<i>And then, 48 hours later,</i>

546
00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:37,620
<i>Cristina came to Vicky
with an announcement.</i>

547
00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:39,210
Vicky, he called.

548
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,130
Hmm, what? Who?

549
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:43,880
Juan Antonio.
He called me just now.

550
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:45,970
Juan Antonio called you?

551
00:32:46,050 --> 00:32:49,010
Yeah. He wants to see me,
take me to some vineyard,

552
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,640
some wine tasting or something.

553
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,890
I said absolutely.

554
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:53,770
A wine tasting?

555
00:32:53,850 --> 00:32:56,850
But... what about your ulcer?

556
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:59,730
Oh, no, no, it's fine.
A little wine's not going to hurt me.

557
00:32:59,810 --> 00:33:01,480
The point is that he wants to see me.

558
00:33:01,570 --> 00:33:02,900
Isn't that great?

559
00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:04,650
- Yeah, yeah.
- I can't believe it!

560
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,400
I never thought he was gonna call.

561
00:33:07,410 --> 00:33:10,320
That's great.
I'm happy for you.

562
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,160
<i>That night, the two women
had trouble falling asleep.</i>

563
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:17,910
<i>Cristina sat in the kitchen
drinking coffee</i>

564
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,960
<i>and working on her poetry.</i>

565
00:33:23,250 --> 00:33:25,590
<i>Vicky, too, was lost
in memories of a night</i>

566
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:28,390
<i>that now seemed
more and more unreal.</i>

567
00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:43,160
Hello?

568
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,990
Hey, babe.
Did I wake you?

569
00:33:46,750 --> 00:33:48,160
No. No, no, no.

570
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:50,790
I was just going to sleep.

571
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,580
I'm sorry I called so late.

572
00:33:52,670 --> 00:33:55,670
I had to get out of the office,
get some air and get some coffee,

573
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,460
and I had this great idea.

574
00:33:57,550 --> 00:33:59,050
Check this out.

575
00:33:59,130 --> 00:34:01,800
Dad has contacts
in the American embassy in Spain, right?

576
00:34:01,890 --> 00:34:04,600
I thought I could come early,
work from there on my computer,

577
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,930
and the two of us
could get married in Barcelona.

578
00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:08,560
You said it was a romantic spot.

579
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,730
You know, we'll just do
a quick city hall-type thing.

580
00:34:10,810 --> 00:34:12,400
'Course we'll do it
all over again in New York.

581
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,480
We'll have a huge blowout
for our families and friends,

582
00:34:14,570 --> 00:34:16,150
but I thought it'd be fun.
What do you think?

583
00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:19,030
What... to get married here?

584
00:34:19,110 --> 00:34:20,110
Yeah, why not?

585
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,240
It'd be great to tell our kids
we married in Spain.

586
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,870
Dad's friends would make it
real easy for us.

587
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:28,910
Oh, I don't know what to say.

588
00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:32,000
You don't sound bowled over.

589
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,670
No, it's, uh...

590
00:34:34,750 --> 00:34:37,000
It's just a surprise.

591
00:34:37,090 --> 00:34:39,710
So? Look, we're gonna marry
in the fall anyway,

592
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,670
and we're gonna
do that too, I promise.

593
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,550
Yeah, so what's the point?

594
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,890
The point is it's different,
it's exciting.

595
00:34:45,970 --> 00:34:47,760
I told the idea to Ken and Alice.

596
00:34:47,850 --> 00:34:51,810
They said they wished they'd done it...
I mean, you know, in London in their case...

597
00:34:51,890 --> 00:34:53,400
but they were excited.

598
00:34:54,190 --> 00:34:55,860
Well, I-I...

599
00:34:57,530 --> 00:35:00,320
You sound a bit reluctant.

600
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Me? No.

601
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,860
Why would I... why would I be?

602
00:35:06,370 --> 00:35:07,870
No, I...

603
00:35:09,330 --> 00:35:11,410
I think it's a fine idea.

604
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:13,870
I think it's great... it's a great idea.

605
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,580
Yeah. Yeah, no, I think
it's gonna be good.

606
00:35:16,670 --> 00:35:18,840
Listen, I'm gonna call you tomorrow.
I know I woke you up.

607
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,170
I'll give you more details tomorrow.
I love you so much.

608
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,590
<i>Juan Antonio took Cristina
to a wine tasting.</i>

609
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:02,380
<i>After, he took her back
to his house,</i>

610
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:05,510
<i>a lovely place he had purchased
from another painter years ago</i>

611
00:36:05,590 --> 00:36:08,550
<i>and which served
as his home and his studio.</i>

612
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,600
<i>He showed her his work,
which delighted her.</i>

613
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,930
<i>She loved the colors
and the wild, emotional way</i>

614
00:36:14,020 --> 00:36:16,140
<i>he applied the paint
to the canvases.</i>

615
00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:19,270
<i>From there, it was
only one floor up to his bedroom.</i>

616
00:36:20,270 --> 00:36:22,730
<i>He told her of his marriage
to Maria Elena</i>

617
00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:25,900
<i>and their deep love
and their terrible fights.</i>

618
00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:28,660
<i>He told Cristina he had not wanted
to make love with anyone else</i>

619
00:36:28,740 --> 00:36:31,080
<i>in the bedroom they shared till now.</i>

620
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,040
<i>This time, Cristina kept her food down.</i>

621
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,050
<i>Juan took Cristina out
several more times.</i>

622
00:37:29,130 --> 00:37:32,260
<i>They went to see a new sculpture
by a friend of his.</i>

623
00:37:34,970 --> 00:37:37,100
<i>He showed her some
of his favorite parts of the city,</i>

624
00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:39,270
<i>where she took photographs.</i>

625
00:37:39,350 --> 00:37:41,560
<i>Juan Antonio was friendly
with all the whores</i>

626
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:43,820
<i>and thought they would make
wonderful subjects.</i>

627
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:53,620
<i>He encouraged Cristina's work,</i>

628
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:56,410
<i>although she was always
too shy to allow him to see it.</i>

629
00:37:58,290 --> 00:38:00,040
<i>He took her to lunch
with his friends,</i>

630
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,670
<i>who were poets and artists
and musicians.</i>

631
00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:04,960
<i>Cristina held her own quite well.</i>

632
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:11,590
<i>Meanwhile, one day,
going to study yet again the Park G�ell,</i>

633
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:12,970
<i>which Gaud� had designed</i>

634
00:38:13,050 --> 00:38:15,510
<i>and which figured
quite prominently in her thesis,</i>

635
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,430
<i>Vicky had a chance encounter.</i>

636
00:38:23,310 --> 00:38:25,520
- Vicky.
- Oh, hello.

637
00:38:25,610 --> 00:38:27,650
- I mean, my goodness.
- How are you?

638
00:38:27,740 --> 00:38:29,240
What are you doing here?

639
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,070
Nothing. Just doing some sketches.

640
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,990
Oh, right.

641
00:38:34,070 --> 00:38:37,490
Well, I didn't mean to disturb you, so...

642
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:39,540
Disturb me, no.
How could you disturb me?

643
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:43,790
We never had a chance
to say a proper good-bye.

644
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,090
Oh, well, you could've called me.

645
00:38:48,590 --> 00:38:50,550
I... yeah.

646
00:38:50,630 --> 00:38:55,140
I debated it, but I didn't think
there was much point.

647
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:59,430
Yeah, but you never phoned,
not to say anything...

648
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,560
I mean, "Thank you, it was fun..."

649
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,190
I mean, you don't make love to someone
and then never call them

650
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:07,440
unless you were greatly disappointed.

651
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,400
Quite the opposite.

652
00:39:09,490 --> 00:39:12,900
But... you have plans to marry,

653
00:39:12,990 --> 00:39:14,860
and I thought it best
to stop anything

654
00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:17,780
before it led to
a bad situation for everyone.

655
00:39:17,870 --> 00:39:20,040
Yeah, well, I'm only saying
that we made love,

656
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,330
and you seemed to drop off
the face of the earth.

657
00:39:22,410 --> 00:39:27,380
I mean, I realize these things
don't mean much to you...

658
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:30,380
To pursue matters would have
only caused you anxiety,

659
00:39:30,460 --> 00:39:32,760
and for me, a disappointment.

660
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,470
I had the ability to hurt you
after one night?

661
00:39:39,770 --> 00:39:41,720
Maria Elena used to say that...

662
00:39:42,730 --> 00:39:46,600
only unfulfilled love
can be romantic.

663
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,530
Right. Okay.

664
00:39:51,650 --> 00:39:55,530
Well, the truth is,
you're much more suited to Cristina.

665
00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:59,200
I've grown very fond of Cristina.

666
00:40:00,870 --> 00:40:05,750
So, I'm very happy for you
and your husband-to-be.

667
00:40:07,380 --> 00:40:10,500
And I... for you and Cristina.

668
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:12,510
Right.

669
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:14,840
- Bye.
- Good-bye.

670
00:40:18,970 --> 00:40:20,140
<i>And so the morning came</i>

671
00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:22,810
<i>when Vicky's husband-to-be
arrived from New York.</i>

672
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:35,450
<i>Juan Antonio, like certain creative men,
needed always to live with a woman,</i>

673
00:40:35,530 --> 00:40:38,990
<i>and had invited Cristina
to move in with him, which she accepted.</i>

674
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:44,450
How much do I owe you?

675
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:02,220
- So you're with Global Enterprises?
- Yes!

676
00:41:02,310 --> 00:41:03,680
Tom Sutter's an old friend of mine.

677
00:41:03,770 --> 00:41:05,560
Oh, you know Tom Sutter!
We play golf.

678
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,640
- You do?
- Yeah.

679
00:41:06,730 --> 00:41:08,440
I got some stories.
Tom has never beaten me.

680
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,730
Oh, well, he's not
the greatest player in the world...

681
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:27,210
My God.

682
00:41:28,210 --> 00:41:30,120
You're a whole different person here.

683
00:41:30,210 --> 00:41:32,250
What does that mean?

684
00:41:32,340 --> 00:41:34,800
You were so into it.

685
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,510
Well, am I not usually?

686
00:41:37,590 --> 00:41:40,300
Yeah, no, of course you are...

687
00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:42,760
I'm giving you a compliment.

688
00:41:45,810 --> 00:41:47,930
Maybe it's the Barcelona air.

689
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,100
Come here, hold me.
Hold me.

690
00:41:54,860 --> 00:41:56,530
- You okay?
- Yeah.

691
00:41:57,570 --> 00:41:58,570
Yeah.

692
00:41:58,650 --> 00:42:00,820
How's Cristina doing?

693
00:42:00,910 --> 00:42:03,740
Oh, you know, she's already
moved in with some guy.

694
00:42:03,830 --> 00:42:05,870
That was quick.
Don't tell me he's a bullfighter.

695
00:42:05,950 --> 00:42:06,950
No...

696
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,620
Writer? Composer?

697
00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:11,460
Tortured pseudo-intellectual
and self-destructive?

698
00:42:11,540 --> 00:42:13,420
Yeah, I know, sometimes
she gets on my nerves

699
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,000
with her crackpot love affairs.

700
00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:19,170
Look, I love her
because she's your friend,

701
00:42:19,260 --> 00:42:20,840
but I often warn you about her.

702
00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:22,590
She's an unhappy person.

703
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,680
She can't part with
that self-image she has

704
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,270
of the oh-so-special woman,
the artist trying to find herself.

705
00:42:29,350 --> 00:42:32,600
I find her contempt
for normal values pretentious.

706
00:42:32,690 --> 00:42:34,570
It's boring, clich�.

707
00:42:34,660 --> 00:42:35,950
Yeah, well, men like her.

708
00:42:36,030 --> 00:42:37,950
Well, she's pretty...

709
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,290
and not exactly difficult
to maneuver into the sack.

710
00:42:41,370 --> 00:42:44,130
Now, you... on the other hand,

711
00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:46,210
took a little effort to get to bed.

712
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:48,750
Hey.

713
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,420
But it was worth the struggle.

714
00:42:50,510 --> 00:42:51,920
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

715
00:42:55,890 --> 00:42:57,510
So, Juan Antonio wants to take me

716
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,140
to this old amusement park
that he said I would love,

717
00:43:00,230 --> 00:43:03,020
and I thought
that we could just get lunch,

718
00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:06,730
all of us, and then
we could all see it together.

719
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:08,610
What, tomorrow for lunch?

720
00:43:08,690 --> 00:43:10,530
We can't. We have plans.

721
00:43:10,610 --> 00:43:12,280
Oh, no, no, no. I'd...

722
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,610
No, we can always go boating
with Mark and Judy.

723
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:16,950
I'd like to go with Cristina
and Juan Antonio.

724
00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:20,370
- I really want to go boating.
- Yeah, that would be great.

725
00:43:20,450 --> 00:43:22,620
- Tomorrow. Okay.
- Okay.

726
00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:26,250
<i>The two couples met for lunch,</i>

727
00:43:26,340 --> 00:43:29,550
<i>and during the course of conversation,
an awkward moment occurred.</i>

728
00:43:31,210 --> 00:43:33,800
<i>Juan Antonio, having
warm thoughts about Cristina,</i>

729
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,300
<i>tried to brush his foot
against hers under the table</i>

730
00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:38,720
<i>and accidentally brushed Vicky's.</i>

731
00:43:45,810 --> 00:43:49,110
<i>The amusement park was everything
Juan Antonio led them to believe.</i>

732
00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:52,440
<i>It was antique and charming,
and overlooked all of Barcelona.</i>

733
00:44:13,630 --> 00:44:17,010
I see why you love
your fianc�, 'cause he's very charming.

734
00:44:17,090 --> 00:44:18,800
Yes, yes. He's lovely.

735
00:44:18,890 --> 00:44:20,640
And very well suited to you.

736
00:44:22,220 --> 00:44:24,350
I don't think I like
the way you say that.

737
00:44:24,430 --> 00:44:28,230
No, I only mean that you make
a comfortable couple in the best sense.

738
00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:31,480
Look, you don't understand.
I can't do anything about it now.

739
00:44:31,570 --> 00:44:35,110
I'm not saying the thought
hasn't crossed my mind, but...

740
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,610
Vicky, please. Please, Vicky.

741
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,910
We must not get into
this conversation again, all right?

742
00:44:38,990 --> 00:44:42,370
Things have moved on,
and I've developed real feelings for Cristina.

743
00:44:43,370 --> 00:44:44,700
Well, then, what did...

744
00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:48,370
why did you rub your foot
against mine under the table?

745
00:44:48,460 --> 00:44:51,790
- I didn't. I didn't.
- Yes, yes.

746
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,250
When I looked over at you.

747
00:44:53,340 --> 00:44:54,920
Oh, no, if I did, it was a mistake.

748
00:44:55,010 --> 00:44:58,380
I mean, my intention
was to touch Cristina.

749
00:44:59,390 --> 00:45:03,010
Oh, okay. I-l... I'm sorry.

750
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:04,600
I apologize for my mistake.

751
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,390
Sorry, it was my mistake,
but listen...

752
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,980
- No, I'm...
- Listen, listen.

753
00:45:08,060 --> 00:45:11,770
You are all set to enter
a completely different life,

754
00:45:11,860 --> 00:45:13,860
a life you always wanted
with a man you love.

755
00:45:13,940 --> 00:45:15,230
Yes, goddamn it, I know!

756
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,030
And then I met you and we had
this ridiculously irrational weekend together

757
00:45:19,110 --> 00:45:21,870
and now I... now I don't know
where I am.

758
00:45:21,950 --> 00:45:24,410
Please. I'm with Cristina,

759
00:45:24,490 --> 00:45:27,960
and you're going to get married
in two weeks, Vicky.

760
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,830
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay?

761
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,210
I know, you're right.

762
00:45:31,290 --> 00:45:33,420
Cristina loves you.

763
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:35,050
I would never...

764
00:45:35,130 --> 00:45:38,050
Yes, yes, and Cristina and I
are a good fit.

765
00:45:38,130 --> 00:45:39,970
I mean we...
she speaks my language.

766
00:45:40,050 --> 00:45:41,220
You and I... I don't know.

767
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:43,390
We'd be at each other's throats
in a month.

768
00:45:44,850 --> 00:45:45,930
- Right?
- Yeah.

769
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:50,350
Look, maybe our paths will cross again
someday under different circumstances.

770
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,350
I mean, who knows about life?

771
00:45:53,690 --> 00:45:56,480
Yeah, you're right.
You're right, I'm an idiot.

772
00:45:56,570 --> 00:45:58,530
I don't know what I expect to happen.

773
00:46:00,570 --> 00:46:04,120
<i>And so the wedding day came
and Vicky married Doug.</i>

774
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,620
<i>Cristina was there.</i>

775
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:09,000
<i>She did not bring Juan Antonio,
who made an excuse.</i>

776
00:46:10,750 --> 00:46:12,830
<i>Following the ceremony,
the bride and groom</i>

777
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,210
<i>left for a mini-honeymoon in Seville.</i>

778
00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:25,180
<i>Meanwhile, Cristina began
to sense the possibility</i>

779
00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:27,640
<i>of the kind of relationship
she had always sought,</i>

780
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:29,770
<i>but in the past had eluded her.</i>

781
00:46:30,810 --> 00:46:34,980
<i>She was the lover of an exciting man,
an artist, whose work she believed in.</i>

782
00:46:36,020 --> 00:46:39,070
<i>She was already thinking of herself
as a kind of expatriate,</i>

783
00:46:39,150 --> 00:46:41,110
<i>not smothered
by what she believed to be</i>

784
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,780
<i>America's puritanical
and materialistic culture,</i>

785
00:46:43,870 --> 00:46:45,830
<i>which she had little patience for.</i>

786
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,830
<i>She saw herself
more a European soul,</i>

787
00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:51,790
<i>in tune with the thinkers and artists</i>

788
00:46:51,870 --> 00:46:56,630
<i>she felt expressed her tragic,
romantic, freethinking view of life.</i>

789
00:47:08,810 --> 00:47:11,100
<i>With Juan Antonio's circle of friends,</i>

790
00:47:11,180 --> 00:47:14,190
<i>she hobnobbed
with creative people of all sorts.</i>

791
00:47:14,270 --> 00:47:15,600
<i>She loved their company,</i>

792
00:47:15,690 --> 00:47:19,070
<i>and continued to experiment
with writing and taking pictures.</i>

793
00:47:36,250 --> 00:47:37,250
You had a good time?

794
00:47:37,340 --> 00:47:39,880
Yeah, Seville is breathtaking.

795
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,300
We ran into some friends
from New York.

796
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:43,720
Had a chance to spend some time
with them, which was great.

797
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,880
A little too much time.

798
00:47:44,970 --> 00:47:47,550
You're just angry because
they beat our brains out at bridge.

799
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,560
- Well, I don't like bridge.
- I don't, either.

800
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,220
- What is this?
- A little swag, here.

801
00:47:51,310 --> 00:47:52,560
Attention, please.

802
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,060
Cristina and Juan Antonio
sent you this wedding gift.

803
00:47:55,150 --> 00:47:57,650
When I found out that she
was seriously dating Juan Antonio,

804
00:47:57,730 --> 00:47:58,980
I couldn't believe it. I...

805
00:47:59,070 --> 00:48:01,400
Just what we need...
a Rorschach blot.

806
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,200
You know, I don't think I like it.

807
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,240
- We'll buy you one of Alejandro's.
- This you will.

808
00:48:27,550 --> 00:48:29,090
<i>S�?</i>

809
00:48:30,810 --> 00:48:31,970
<i>S�.</i>

810
00:48:38,730 --> 00:48:40,690
Uh, �c�mo est�?

811
00:48:56,620 --> 00:48:57,670
What?

812
00:48:57,750 --> 00:49:01,170
Maria Elena...
She tried to kill herself.

813
00:49:01,250 --> 00:49:03,840
What? Is she okay?

814
00:49:05,340 --> 00:49:06,760
Uh...

815
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,050
Yes. I don't...
Yes, I think so. I don't know.

816
00:49:09,140 --> 00:49:10,180
I have to go.

817
00:49:10,260 --> 00:49:11,350
Where are you going?

818
00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:13,310
Uh...

819
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:15,390
I'm going to the hospital.

820
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,520
Should I come with you?

821
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,730
No, no, I don't think that
would be a good idea for her.

822
00:49:20,810 --> 00:49:23,020
- She's a mess.
- Well, all right.

823
00:49:23,110 --> 00:49:26,110
- Call me if you want me to come, okay?
- Okay, of course.

824
00:49:26,190 --> 00:49:27,400
Of course.

825
00:49:28,410 --> 00:49:31,240
<i>Juan Antonio hurried out
in the dead of night.</i>

826
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,170
<i>Cristina tried to go back to sleep,
but had an uneasy feeling.</i>

827
00:49:40,250 --> 00:49:44,420
<i>She dozed restively,
but awoke at the darkest hour.</i>

828
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:56,390
I'm just up here making coffee.

829
00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:58,270
Is everything okay?

830
00:49:59,270 --> 00:50:01,980
Okay... Cristina, this is Maria Elena.

831
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,570
Oh.

832
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,780
Here you have to speak English.

833
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:14,070
- Please.
- I'm embarrassed.

834
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,160
Oh, no...
Please, don't feel embarrassed.

835
00:50:18,250 --> 00:50:20,120
Can I get you anything at all?

836
00:50:20,210 --> 00:50:22,210
- Vodka.
- Vodka?

837
00:50:32,140 --> 00:50:33,890
In English, in English.

838
00:50:34,010 --> 00:50:37,060
Maria Elena, when you are here,
you have to speak English, all right?

839
00:50:37,140 --> 00:50:40,020
You want to take a shower,
you go there, in the guestroom.

840
00:50:43,770 --> 00:50:45,270
S�, you're a guest.

841
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,080
- So... what's going on?
- Nothing.

842
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,830
- What? Is everything okay?
- Nothing.

843
00:50:59,910 --> 00:51:01,500
I think she's okay, yeah.

844
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,130
I mean, there are...

845
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:09,840
Things didn't work out
for her in Madrid,

846
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,760
and... she came bus...

847
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,510
she came back on the bus
tonight alone.

848
00:51:16,810 --> 00:51:21,600
Her whole world looked black
and all her plans had come to nothing,

849
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,600
and she overdosed in the bus terminal.

850
00:51:24,690 --> 00:51:26,310
Oh, my God, that's terrible.

851
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,020
Yeah, she has to stay with us.

852
00:51:28,110 --> 00:51:30,070
What? She's gonna stay with us?

853
00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:31,190
She has to stay with us.

854
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,360
I mean, she has no money,
she has no one capable of caring for her...

855
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,530
I mean, I-I always...

856
00:51:39,700 --> 00:51:43,170
I was always her connection
to the real life.

857
00:51:43,260 --> 00:51:47,510
Uh-huh, I understand, but I mean,
how can she stay here?

858
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,640
You know, I think...

859
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:53,060
I think that she can't be trusted
to stay alone, that's the problem.

860
00:51:53,140 --> 00:51:55,810
Because, I mean, even if...
let me think...

861
00:51:55,900 --> 00:52:00,190
even if I... if a place
could be worked out...

862
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,320
Well, maybe she needs
psychiatric help.

863
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,990
No, she's always had
bad experiences with doctors.

864
00:52:05,070 --> 00:52:07,990
I understand,
but where is she gonna stay?

865
00:52:08,070 --> 00:52:09,280
In there.

866
00:52:11,330 --> 00:52:13,370
How long is she gonna stay here?

867
00:52:14,410 --> 00:52:16,120
Cristina, I know...

868
00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:20,040
- this is not what you had in mind.
- No... I understand.

869
00:52:20,130 --> 00:52:22,170
But she has to stay with us.
She has no one else.

870
00:52:22,260 --> 00:52:24,010
I understand.
It's only for a short time.

871
00:52:24,090 --> 00:52:25,760
Yes, a few months at most.

872
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,970
She's staying for a few months?

873
00:52:28,050 --> 00:52:30,300
Listen, I've been through this
with her before.

874
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,020
So... I mean if...

875
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:35,350
Shit.

876
00:52:37,940 --> 00:52:40,860
If you had only known her
when I first met her.

877
00:52:40,940 --> 00:52:42,400
I mean, her beauty...

878
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,650
- Her beauty took your breath away.
- Yes, I...

879
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:48,030
And she was so talented,
she was so brilliant,

880
00:52:48,110 --> 00:52:49,410
she was so sensual,

881
00:52:49,490 --> 00:52:53,490
and she chose me from
a hundred men ready to kill for her.

882
00:52:53,580 --> 00:52:54,700
Uh-huh.

883
00:52:54,790 --> 00:52:58,620
We were both sure
that our relation was perfect,

884
00:52:58,710 --> 00:53:00,790
but there was something
missing, you know?

885
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,960
Like, love requires
such a perfect balance.

886
00:53:04,050 --> 00:53:05,460
It's like the human body.

887
00:53:05,550 --> 00:53:09,470
It may turn that you have
all the vitamins and minerals,

888
00:53:09,550 --> 00:53:15,850
but if there is a minor, single,
tiny ingredient missing,

889
00:53:15,930 --> 00:53:19,060
like... like... like... like... like salt,

890
00:53:19,150 --> 00:53:22,060
for example, one dies.

891
00:53:22,150 --> 00:53:23,940
Salt?

892
00:53:29,660 --> 00:53:31,660
She's the woman I live with,

893
00:53:31,740 --> 00:53:37,330
and you have to speak English
around here, please.

894
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:41,250
Yes, exactly, out of courtesy.

895
00:53:47,550 --> 00:53:52,090
You always had paranoid ideas
about every woman I've ever known.

896
00:53:52,180 --> 00:53:55,510
S�.

897
00:53:57,850 --> 00:54:02,560
Well, she's quite intelligent,
and she's a freethinker, like you.

898
00:54:02,650 --> 00:54:04,230
- Like me?
- Yes.

899
00:54:22,210 --> 00:54:24,790
Please... please, here,
in this house, speak English.

900
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,250
That's all I ask, all right?

901
00:54:27,710 --> 00:54:29,720
- Why are you getting so angry at me?
- Why in the world...

902
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,970
- Why are you getting so angry at me?
- Why? Listen.

903
00:54:32,050 --> 00:54:34,550
Listen, why were you thinking
about killing yourself?

904
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,640
I mean, what a stupid idea
did cross on your mind!

905
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:40,390
I mean, try to kill yourself,
for Christ's sake!

906
00:54:41,390 --> 00:54:43,400
Stay here
until you get back on your feet,

907
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,520
and then, I beg you, please,
get out of my life.

908
00:54:50,110 --> 00:54:51,700
You're too damaged.

909
00:54:51,780 --> 00:54:53,950
And you love that.

910
00:55:03,370 --> 00:55:05,130
Speak English!

911
00:55:06,210 --> 00:55:08,460
I don't like her for you!
I don't trust her.

912
00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:11,010
And you know I always
have your best interests.

913
00:55:11,090 --> 00:55:14,470
Well, not when
you tried to kill me.

914
00:55:14,550 --> 00:55:16,050
- Oh, that.
- Yeah, that.

915
00:55:16,140 --> 00:55:17,890
That small detail, yes.

916
00:55:17,970 --> 00:55:20,180
You...

917
00:55:21,270 --> 00:55:24,440
You are suspicious of her
because she is now my lover.

918
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:25,900
I mean, it's so obvious.

919
00:55:57,350 --> 00:55:59,180
More coffee?

920
00:55:59,260 --> 00:56:00,600
Yes, please.

921
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:04,390
I'm sorry.

922
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:05,730
It's okay.

923
00:56:05,810 --> 00:56:07,560
Here. Sugar.

924
00:56:07,650 --> 00:56:09,060
No, thank you.

925
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,900
I thought we could go
for a ride to the countryside later.

926
00:56:14,990 --> 00:56:17,820
I mean, the weather is beautiful.

927
00:56:21,740 --> 00:56:23,200
In English.

928
00:56:23,290 --> 00:56:25,210
Oh, no, it's fine.

929
00:56:26,250 --> 00:56:27,960
You speak no Spanish?

930
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,880
No. I, uh, studied Chinese.

931
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:33,550
Chinese?

932
00:56:36,050 --> 00:56:37,550
Why?

933
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,680
I thought it sounded pretty.

934
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:42,720
Say something in Chinese.

935
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,810
Me?

936
00:56:45,890 --> 00:56:47,980
Mm-hmm.

937
00:56:48,060 --> 00:56:51,900
<i>Um... ni hao ma.</i>

938
00:56:53,190 --> 00:56:55,030
You think that sounds pretty?

939
00:56:56,450 --> 00:56:59,320
Well, maybe not the way
I'm pronouncing it, of course, but...

940
00:57:05,540 --> 00:57:07,410
Speak English, Maria Elena.

941
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,050
Speak English.

942
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,510
I'm sorry. I'm nervous today.
I had bad dreams.

943
00:57:22,010 --> 00:57:23,510
Would you like to paint?

944
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,270
Oh, do you paint also?

945
00:57:27,190 --> 00:57:28,440
Ask him. Ask him.

946
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,690
He stole everything from me,
his whole style.

947
00:57:31,770 --> 00:57:34,020
She likes to make up these stories.

948
00:57:34,110 --> 00:57:36,530
Antonio, your whole way
of seeing is mine.

949
00:57:36,610 --> 00:57:38,780
I'm not saying
that you were not influential.

950
00:57:38,860 --> 00:57:41,570
- Influential? Influential?
- Yes. Yes, influential.

951
00:57:41,660 --> 00:57:43,870
But to say that I stole your style...

952
00:57:43,950 --> 00:57:46,370
To say that I stole your style
is too delusional.

953
00:57:56,630 --> 00:58:00,470
She always had problems with reality,
and I'm not going to get angry.

954
00:58:00,550 --> 00:58:02,220
I'm not going to get angry.

955
00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:03,930
Okay, what did they say
in art school?

956
00:58:04,010 --> 00:58:05,760
They said I was a genius, right?

957
00:58:05,850 --> 00:58:07,850
I'm always... I always
encouraged your talent.

958
00:58:07,930 --> 00:58:11,770
Not talent. I'm not talking about talent.
I said genius. Genius.

959
00:58:12,810 --> 00:58:14,440
I came close to killing for you.

960
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,110
Yeah, you came close
to killing me with that chair.

961
00:58:17,190 --> 00:58:19,070
I was defending myself,

962
00:58:19,150 --> 00:58:21,660
and you had a razor,
and you were drunk,

963
00:58:21,740 --> 00:58:23,530
with a razor and raging!

964
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:29,580
<i>- Never.
- Si, si, si.</i>

965
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,500
You wanted to kill me for looking?

966
00:58:37,050 --> 00:58:40,550
I see you with someone else now,
and I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm civil.

967
00:58:40,630 --> 00:58:42,130
What else do you want?

968
00:58:56,940 --> 00:58:58,230
<i>As the days passed,</i>

969
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,240
<i>Cristina observed Maria Elena
and Juan Antonio</i>

970
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,910
<i>and found the heart
more puzzling than ever.</i>

971
00:59:14,670 --> 00:59:17,130
Where were you?
Were you working?

972
00:59:17,210 --> 00:59:19,420
- Yeah, I was trying to.
- Okay.

973
00:59:19,510 --> 00:59:23,300
I'm so curious, does she really think
that you stole from her?

974
00:59:23,380 --> 00:59:24,720
Uh...

975
00:59:26,010 --> 00:59:32,060
Well, um, I guess I took
more from her than I'd like to admit, yes.

976
00:59:33,060 --> 00:59:36,730
That's why I'm always so sensitive
when she brings it up.

977
00:59:39,230 --> 00:59:41,480
- I feel kind of sad.
- Why?

978
00:59:41,570 --> 00:59:43,820
'Cause I feel like
I'm never gonna be able to...

979
00:59:44,820 --> 00:59:47,990
to influence you
or inspire you in any way.

980
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:49,120
No, that's not true.

981
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,410
That's how I feel.

982
00:59:50,490 --> 00:59:51,490
That's not true.

983
00:59:51,580 --> 00:59:52,660
No, that's not true.

984
00:59:52,750 --> 00:59:55,420
I never heard the Scriab...
the Scriabin?

985
00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:56,880
- Yeah.
- Piano Sonata?

986
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,460
Until you played those recordings for me,
and now I can't stop listening to them.

987
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:01,880
- No?
- No.

988
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,880
Well, that... makes me happy.

989
01:00:06,260 --> 01:00:07,550
What?

990
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,140
Maybe it's not a good idea here.

991
01:00:11,220 --> 01:00:12,470
What?

992
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,350
I mean, she's been better lately.

993
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,020
I don't want to... upset her.

994
01:00:20,070 --> 01:00:22,030
Of course. No. Okay.

995
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,580
<i>It was at Vicky's afternoon language class,</i>

996
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:33,540
<i>which she took several days a week
to improve her Spanish,</i>

997
01:00:33,620 --> 01:00:35,540
<i>that she met Ben, a young man</i>

998
01:00:35,620 --> 01:00:39,250
<i>who couldn't stop noticing her
and started to chat her up each day.</i>

999
01:00:40,380 --> 01:00:42,800
Yeah, I can't believe
they hired me at the consulate,

1000
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,880
because my Spanish
is less than perfect, to say the least.

1001
01:00:45,970 --> 01:00:48,180
No, I think it's good. It's good.

1002
01:00:48,260 --> 01:00:49,520
It's all right.

1003
01:00:49,610 --> 01:00:52,360
Are you enjoying
your time in Barcelona?

1004
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,150
Um, I would if I had more friends.

1005
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:56,320
Right.

1006
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,610
Yesterday I walked from the beach
up to Park G�ell in search of Gaud�.

1007
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,120
Hey, you want to see a movie?

1008
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,740
- A movie?
- Wednesday?

1009
01:01:04,830 --> 01:01:06,160
Afternoon?

1010
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:07,250
Uh.

1011
01:01:08,580 --> 01:01:09,960
Yeah.

1012
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,710
<i>The movie was a great success,</i>

1013
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,460
<i>and Ben proved to be
very good company for Vicky.</i>

1014
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,430
<i>One afternoon, they ducked
into a store to buy some cherries,</i>

1015
01:01:22,510 --> 01:01:24,930
<i>and when the storekeeper
took a phone call in the back,</i>

1016
01:01:25,020 --> 01:01:26,980
<i>he couldn't resist taking her hand.</i>

1017
01:01:28,390 --> 01:01:29,890
Uh.

1018
01:01:29,980 --> 01:01:32,230
Uh, no, don't.

1019
01:01:32,310 --> 01:01:33,310
No?

1020
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,480
No...

1021
01:01:37,110 --> 01:01:39,320
You do know
that I'm recently married?

1022
01:01:39,410 --> 01:01:40,700
Yeah.

1023
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:45,040
I guess I was under the impression
that maybe you jumped into it too quick,

1024
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,000
- maybe you regret it...
- Regr... ha... have I implied that?

1025
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,920
Unless I read into it.

1026
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,170
No, I...

1027
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:56,000
I shouldn't tell you this. I...

1028
01:01:57,210 --> 01:02:00,760
You know what, I was always someone
who thought I knew exactly what I wanted.

1029
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,720
But you didn't.

1030
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,350
Well, no, I met somebody else,

1031
01:02:05,430 --> 01:02:09,350
and I'm not gonna get into that story.

1032
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,100
So, this guy you met...?

1033
01:02:11,190 --> 01:02:14,770
The guy is living with my best friend.

1034
01:02:14,860 --> 01:02:16,940
You know, what am I talking about?

1035
01:02:17,030 --> 01:02:21,200
When I... when I hear myself,
it's just... it's just crazy.

1036
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,120
I just married the guy I wanted.

1037
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,330
Did you?

1038
01:02:26,410 --> 01:02:27,700
I thought so.

1039
01:02:28,790 --> 01:02:31,370
So? What happened?

1040
01:02:32,790 --> 01:02:36,540
One goddamn weekend in Oviedo.

1041
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:44,510
<i>Cristina, Juan Antonio, and Maria Elena
went riding in the country.</i>

1042
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,350
<i>Maria Elena had decided
they would all cook a big dinner together,</i>

1043
01:02:47,430 --> 01:02:49,810
<i>and she insisted
they pick fresh blackberries.</i>

1044
01:02:49,890 --> 01:02:51,060
Wait for me!

1045
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:54,900
Gives me vertigo!

1046
01:02:58,530 --> 01:03:00,190
- This is the perfect...
- Here, like that.

1047
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,280
- Okay.
- Like that.

1048
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,650
Can you get some... there.

1049
01:03:02,740 --> 01:03:05,160
- Ow, ow!
- What's wrong? What's...

1050
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,660
What, what, what?

1051
01:03:06,740 --> 01:03:07,870
What happened?

1052
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:10,830
Wait, no, sit down.
Sit, sit, sit, sit.

1053
01:03:12,250 --> 01:03:14,420
Is it your upper or your lower?

1054
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:15,960
- Here.
- Here?

1055
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,920
- Yep.
- Hold on, wait.

1056
01:03:19,170 --> 01:03:20,510
- Ow.
- Let me... oh, oh, oh.

1057
01:03:20,590 --> 01:03:21,840
Here, let me...

1058
01:03:25,930 --> 01:03:27,640
- You want some aspirin?
- Yeah.

1059
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,350
I have aspirin in my bag.

1060
01:03:29,430 --> 01:03:30,560
- All right.
- Okay.

1061
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,560
You relax. I'll be right back.

1062
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,300
It's all in his head.
He has so much tension.

1063
01:04:02,300 --> 01:04:04,720
To the world,
he's carefree, nothing matters,

1064
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,300
"life is short and with no purpose"
kind of thing,

1065
01:04:07,390 --> 01:04:11,010
but all his fear
just goes to his head.

1066
01:04:16,810 --> 01:04:18,690
You know, she plays piano?

1067
01:04:20,070 --> 01:04:22,820
No, I didn't know.

1068
01:04:22,900 --> 01:04:24,990
Is that why you have
a piano in your house?

1069
01:04:25,070 --> 01:04:27,240
No, I could have been
a concert pianist.

1070
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,570
Yeah, she could have.

1071
01:04:28,660 --> 01:04:31,280
I mean, no one plays
a Scarlatti like Maria Elena.

1072
01:04:31,370 --> 01:04:34,500
She understands Scarlatti,
am I right?

1073
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:37,120
Do you play music?

1074
01:04:37,210 --> 01:04:42,590
No, I just have to come face-to-face
with the fact that I am not gifted.

1075
01:04:42,670 --> 01:04:47,010
You know, I can appreciate art
and I love music, but...

1076
01:04:47,090 --> 01:04:48,340
It's sad, really,

1077
01:04:48,430 --> 01:04:51,600
because I feel like I have
a lot to express

1078
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,970
and I am not gifted.

1079
01:04:54,060 --> 01:04:55,890
But you do have talent.

1080
01:04:55,980 --> 01:04:58,060
- No.
- Yes.

1081
01:04:58,150 --> 01:05:00,060
What's my talent?

1082
01:05:00,150 --> 01:05:02,150
You take beautiful photographs.

1083
01:05:02,230 --> 01:05:05,490
That's true. She always takes pictures
that she hides from me.

1084
01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:06,860
That's...

1085
01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:09,160
No, that's because they're nothing.

1086
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,160
How do you know I take pictures?

1087
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,240
I found them in your luggage.

1088
01:05:13,330 --> 01:05:15,500
You went through my luggage?

1089
01:05:15,580 --> 01:05:17,500
Of course I went through your luggage!

1090
01:05:17,580 --> 01:05:19,920
First night I was in the house.
I didn't trust you.

1091
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,040
I didn't believe you were
who you said you were.

1092
01:05:23,130 --> 01:05:26,880
I wanted to know who was
really sharing the bed of my ex-husband.

1093
01:05:26,970 --> 01:05:28,680
What?!

1094
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,260
Who knew what I would find there?

1095
01:05:30,340 --> 01:05:32,680
How could I be sure
you were not going to hurt me?

1096
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,140
After all, I had thoughts of killing you.

1097
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,690
So here's a few more.

1098
01:05:46,940 --> 01:05:49,360
Don't say you like them
if you don't like them.

1099
01:05:49,450 --> 01:05:51,990
- What are you talking about?
- They are beautiful!

1100
01:05:52,070 --> 01:05:53,870
- Yeah, you see?
- Look at this!

1101
01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:58,160
<i>The next day, Maria Elena
went out photographing with Cristina.</i>

1102
01:05:58,250 --> 01:06:01,460
<i>She had a superb eye
and knew a lot about the art of photography,</i>

1103
01:06:01,540 --> 01:06:05,380
<i>and taught Cristina much about the aesthetics
and subtleties of picture taking.</i>

1104
01:06:05,460 --> 01:06:07,670
<i>She advised her
to get rid of her digital camera</i>

1105
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,430
<i>and use an old one
for more interesting results.</i>

1106
01:06:10,510 --> 01:06:12,550
<i>She said it was important
to have a darkroom,</i>

1107
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,800
<i>and that she would set one up
in the basement for Cristina</i>

1108
01:06:14,890 --> 01:06:18,350
<i>and teach her various techniques
of developing her own pictures.</i>

1109
01:06:24,820 --> 01:06:26,150
<i>They photographed everything,</i>

1110
01:06:26,230 --> 01:06:28,740
<i>from silly-looking dogs
to grim-faced children...</i>

1111
01:06:29,740 --> 01:06:32,160
<i>but the best subject
was Maria Elena herself.</i>

1112
01:06:59,350 --> 01:07:02,100
<i>Shopping one afternoon,
Vicky and Doug ran into</i>

1113
01:07:02,190 --> 01:07:04,310
<i>Adam Tabachnick and Sally.</i>

1114
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,400
<i>Adam was in the same business
Doug was in and they were friendly,</i>

1115
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,400
<i>although in New York,
they did not spend a lot of time together.</i>

1116
01:07:10,490 --> 01:07:12,200
You guys have
gotta be kidding me!

1117
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:13,610
Hi, it's good to see you!

1118
01:07:13,700 --> 01:07:16,450
Any program on TV,
obviously anything live,

1119
01:07:16,530 --> 01:07:18,830
you can play it back
on your computer.

1120
01:07:18,910 --> 01:07:20,240
So I'm on a flight to Tokyo.

1121
01:07:20,330 --> 01:07:22,460
I'm 40,000 feet up in the air,

1122
01:07:22,540 --> 01:07:25,960
and I am watching the Mets,
live, on my laptop.

1123
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,920
It's amazing.
You're never out of touch.

1124
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,170
We're gonna have the new house
wired for everything.

1125
01:07:30,260 --> 01:07:33,470
I'm looking at those new Japanese
high-definition TV screens.

1126
01:07:33,550 --> 01:07:35,550
You've gotta have my guy
do your installation.

1127
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,180
- He's just a genius with computers and...
- I'll get his card.

1128
01:07:38,260 --> 01:07:40,560
We just did our place in Greenwich.
You have to see it!

1129
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,980
We have this wonderful decorator
you should use.

1130
01:07:44,060 --> 01:07:47,230
He's, um, he's creative,
but he knows when to back off.

1131
01:07:47,310 --> 01:07:51,320
We did it, uh, modern, with just
a splash of antiques here and there.

1132
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,360
I love combining the two,
but God, the prices.

1133
01:07:54,450 --> 01:07:57,620
Do you have any idea
what a good-sized oriental rug costs?

1134
01:07:57,700 --> 01:07:59,490
She's right. She's right.

1135
01:07:59,580 --> 01:08:03,790
Actually, there's an old joke.
"100,000 for a Persian rug..."

1136
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,890
<i>Life continued predictably
for Vicky and Doug,</i>

1137
01:08:18,970 --> 01:08:22,640
<i>until one afternoon,
when an unpredictable moment occurred.</i>

1138
01:08:35,860 --> 01:08:38,700
<i>Several days later,
Judy asked Vicky to meet her privately,</i>

1139
01:08:38,780 --> 01:08:40,700
<i>away from the house,
to have coffee.</i>

1140
01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:43,410
What happened the other day...

1141
01:08:45,210 --> 01:08:47,370
- I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
- Oh, no, no, no.

1142
01:08:47,460 --> 01:08:51,380
- It's really none of my business.
- I'm not having an affair with Mark's partner.

1143
01:08:51,460 --> 01:08:53,380
I'm... I'm not.

1144
01:08:53,460 --> 01:08:55,470
No, I didn't think you were.

1145
01:08:55,550 --> 01:08:58,510
Mm, uh, not that
I haven't had fantasies

1146
01:08:58,590 --> 01:09:03,430
of someone coming along
and taking me out of my situation,

1147
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:08,440
but the fantasies are not Jay Lewis...

1148
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,480
even though he would like that, he would.

1149
01:09:11,570 --> 01:09:15,070
By "taking you out of your situation"...?

1150
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:22,200
I haven't... I haven't been in love
with Mark for years.

1151
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,370
I mean, I love him,
but I'm not in love with him.

1152
01:09:27,460 --> 01:09:29,170
I'm sorry to hear that.

1153
01:09:30,540 --> 01:09:32,630
It's funny, I just made...

1154
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,920
I just made the same speech
to my shrink. Huh.

1155
01:09:38,010 --> 01:09:40,340
Well, what does your shrink say?

1156
01:09:42,220 --> 01:09:47,520
He says, um, that I'm
too frightened to act and that...

1157
01:09:48,690 --> 01:09:51,650
that I'm looking for some kind
of magical solution

1158
01:09:51,730 --> 01:09:55,400
which is unrealistic, and that I...

1159
01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:58,450
And an affair is not the answer.

1160
01:09:58,540 --> 01:10:01,460
And I don't... I'm sorry to be
laying all of this on you,

1161
01:10:01,540 --> 01:10:04,380
but I was so humiliated
when you saw us.

1162
01:10:04,460 --> 01:10:05,960
- Look...
- I'm just...

1163
01:10:06,050 --> 01:10:10,220
Look, you mustn't feel that you
have to explain yourself to me.

1164
01:10:10,300 --> 01:10:11,680
I mean...

1165
01:10:13,430 --> 01:10:15,560
Mark is great.

1166
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,310
I'm sure any...

1167
01:10:21,310 --> 01:10:25,270
any dissatisfaction I have
is my own problem.

1168
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,230
I'm just...

1169
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,910
I can't leave him,
and I know that I never will.

1170
01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:37,200
Hmm, why not?

1171
01:10:38,910 --> 01:10:40,830
I just... I can't.

1172
01:10:40,910 --> 01:10:43,080
I'm too scared.

1173
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,590
The moment's passed.

1174
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,900
It's so apparent to me that you
and Juan Antonio are still in love

1175
01:11:08,980 --> 01:11:11,240
when I see you together, you know?

1176
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,610
Our love will last forever.

1177
01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:15,780
It's forever, but it just doesn't work.

1178
01:11:15,870 --> 01:11:18,160
That's why it will always
be romantic,

1179
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,490
because it cannot be complete.

1180
01:11:20,580 --> 01:11:24,250
Maybe it can't be complete because,
you know, I'm getting in the way,

1181
01:11:24,330 --> 01:11:26,210
- or I don't know, I feel like...
- No.

1182
01:11:26,290 --> 01:11:30,250
Before you... before you,
we used to cause each other

1183
01:11:30,340 --> 01:11:32,090
so much pain, so much suffering.

1184
01:11:32,170 --> 01:11:34,590
Without you, all this
would not be possible.

1185
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,300
You know why? Because you
are the missing ingredient.

1186
01:11:38,310 --> 01:11:40,100
You are like the tint that,

1187
01:11:40,180 --> 01:11:42,640
added to a palette,
makes the color beautiful.

1188
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,440
Aren't you and Juan Antonio
tempted to make love?

1189
01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:48,440
I feel like...

1190
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:50,440
I don't know.

1191
01:11:50,530 --> 01:11:52,740
At the end of our marriage, we didn't,

1192
01:11:52,820 --> 01:11:55,570
but I have to say,
those feelings are coming back now,

1193
01:11:55,660 --> 01:11:57,490
thanks to you,

1194
01:11:57,570 --> 01:12:00,160
in a new and deeper way.

1195
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:01,950
Well, I wouldn't be upset about it.

1196
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,000
I'd never want to get into the way.
It wouldn't upset me at all.

1197
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:06,420
I know you wouldn't be upset,

1198
01:12:06,500 --> 01:12:09,630
same way I get this warm feeling

1199
01:12:09,710 --> 01:12:12,340
when I hear you both
locked in passion every night.

1200
01:12:13,340 --> 01:12:16,260
I listen, and I'm happy.

1201
01:12:17,390 --> 01:12:20,760
<i>Was Cristina okay with it
when Maria Elena and Juan Antonio</i>

1202
01:12:20,850 --> 01:12:22,770
<i>made love one afternoon?</i>

1203
01:12:22,850 --> 01:12:26,440
<i>Beforehand, she gave them both her blessing,
but then had mixed feelings.</i>

1204
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,110
<i>She was not quite as open-minded
as she had always imagined herself,</i>

1205
01:12:30,190 --> 01:12:33,610
<i>and the thought of the two of them
in bed and, inevitably, full of intensity,</i>

1206
01:12:33,690 --> 01:12:35,570
<i>caused her some conflict.</i>

1207
01:12:35,650 --> 01:12:39,660
<i>In the end, she gradually relaxed
and let herself go with the flow of things,</i>

1208
01:12:39,740 --> 01:12:41,620
<i>a tolerance she was proud of.</i>

1209
01:12:42,660 --> 01:12:44,450
At first it did bother me,

1210
01:12:44,540 --> 01:12:48,000
but then I started to think about all these
standard, accepted clich�s of love...

1211
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:49,420
what's right, what's wrong,

1212
01:12:49,500 --> 01:12:53,210
what's appropriate according
to the "appropriate police,"

1213
01:12:53,300 --> 01:12:55,670
and you know, you see
how screwed up most relation...

1214
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,630
So what you're saying is
you're sharing a man.

1215
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:58,970
You're like a Mormon wife.

1216
01:12:59,050 --> 01:13:00,930
I-I know it sounds strange,

1217
01:13:01,010 --> 01:13:03,140
but actually, we all contribute
to the relationship,

1218
01:13:03,220 --> 01:13:04,560
and we're all really nourished by it.

1219
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,310
If everyone did that,
society couldn't function.

1220
01:13:06,390 --> 01:13:07,560
- Come on!
- Come on, Doug.

1221
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,520
Let's not get into one of those
turgid categorical imperative arguments.

1222
01:13:10,610 --> 01:13:11,860
- Whatever works.
- Whatever works?

1223
01:13:11,940 --> 01:13:14,440
Maria Elena believes that there are
many truths in life, not just one.

1224
01:13:14,530 --> 01:13:16,820
I don't know. I mean, babe,
could you live like that?

1225
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:20,450
Well, I never had Cristina's...

1226
01:13:20,530 --> 01:13:22,740
What, Cristina's lack of structure?

1227
01:13:22,830 --> 01:13:24,240
It's very structured, actually.

1228
01:13:24,330 --> 01:13:25,830
Her courage.
I never had her courage.

1229
01:13:25,910 --> 01:13:27,080
Her courage?

1230
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,790
Courage? Next thing she'll be
going to bed with Maria Elena

1231
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:34,420
and glorifying it as some kind
of superior, alternative lifestyle.

1232
01:13:34,500 --> 01:13:36,050
Oh, I have gone to bed with her.

1233
01:13:36,130 --> 01:13:37,880
- No!
- Yeah.

1234
01:13:37,970 --> 01:13:39,260
When?

1235
01:13:39,340 --> 01:13:43,430
Well, Juan Antonio and Maria Elena
made this darkroom for me...

1236
01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:45,810
you know, they're both pushing me
to take photographs...

1237
01:13:45,890 --> 01:13:47,680
and actually, I'm getting pretty good.

1238
01:13:47,770 --> 01:13:50,520
Believe it or not,
I'm getting much more confident.

1239
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,150
<i>And we were down there
in the darkroom,</i>

1240
01:13:53,230 --> 01:13:56,980
<i>and... I was just working on
some of my photographs,</i>

1241
01:13:57,070 --> 01:14:00,860
<i>things that, you know, I wouldn't
have done if she hadn't inspired me.</i>

1242
01:15:05,430 --> 01:15:08,060
And it happened
very naturally for both of us.

1243
01:15:09,350 --> 01:15:10,930
You weren't nervous?

1244
01:15:11,020 --> 01:15:14,850
No, no. It was very loving and gentle.

1245
01:15:14,940 --> 01:15:16,360
Did you enjoy it?

1246
01:15:16,440 --> 01:15:17,820
Mm-hmm, I did.

1247
01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:22,400
And... it was just the one time?

1248
01:15:22,490 --> 01:15:23,650
Yeah, yeah.

1249
01:15:23,740 --> 01:15:25,530
I mean, it just happened, you know.

1250
01:15:25,620 --> 01:15:29,490
I'm not planning on making
a habit out of it, necessarily.

1251
01:15:30,580 --> 01:15:33,540
But if you... enjoyed it...

1252
01:15:33,620 --> 01:15:36,330
- I did, I did at the time.
- Well, did you tell Juan Antonio?

1253
01:15:36,420 --> 01:15:38,170
Yeah, of course.
There's nothing to hide.

1254
01:15:38,250 --> 01:15:41,260
Would you say
then you are a bisexual?

1255
01:15:41,340 --> 01:15:43,260
No, I see no reason
to label everything.

1256
01:15:43,340 --> 01:15:44,840
I'm me, you know,

1257
01:15:44,930 --> 01:15:49,220
and I've slept with Juan Antonio since
and enjoyed that experience very much.

1258
01:15:49,310 --> 01:15:51,680
It's a great story.

1259
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,230
Yeah, that's a great story.

1260
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,690
Hey, look, I don't set
myself up as a judge, so...

1261
01:16:04,610 --> 01:16:06,240
What are you thinking?

1262
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,410
Hmm?

1263
01:16:08,490 --> 01:16:10,120
I don't know.

1264
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,790
How quickly time passes.

1265
01:16:12,870 --> 01:16:15,330
Summer's almost over.

1266
01:16:15,420 --> 01:16:17,750
We'll be going home soon.

1267
01:16:20,090 --> 01:16:23,300
I thought you were still dwelling
about your friend's

1268
01:16:23,380 --> 01:16:25,880
little tale of lust in the darkroom.

1269
01:16:27,930 --> 01:16:30,390
And speaking of dark rooms...

1270
01:16:31,390 --> 01:16:32,390
Come here.

1271
01:16:58,580 --> 01:16:59,830
<i>Over the next weeks,</i>

1272
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:02,960
<i>Cristina became more and more sure
of herself as a photographer.</i>

1273
01:17:03,050 --> 01:17:06,720
<i>Both Juan Antonio and Maria Elena
contributed ideas and support</i>

1274
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:08,090
<i>when she had doubts.</i>

1275
01:17:08,180 --> 01:17:09,680
<i>Thanks to their encouragement,</i>

1276
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,850
<i>photography was becoming
a productive interest in her life.</i>

1277
01:17:12,930 --> 01:17:18,230
<i>By now, she and Juan Antonio
and Maria Elena had become lovers.</i>

1278
01:17:30,570 --> 01:17:34,450
<i>Everything seemed perfectly balanced,
perfectly in tune.</i>

1279
01:17:34,540 --> 01:17:37,080
<i>Maria Elena was calm and relaxed.</i>

1280
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,920
<i>Juan Antonio was going through
a very creative period with his painting.</i>

1281
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,710
<i>It was only Cristina,
as the last days of summer expired,</i>

1282
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:48,670
<i>who began to experience
an old familiar stirring,</i>

1283
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,930
<i>a growing restlessness
that she dreaded,</i>

1284
01:17:51,010 --> 01:17:54,140
<i>but recognized only too well.</i>

1285
01:17:54,220 --> 01:17:57,770
<i>Suddenly, thoughts started
taking precedence over feelings,</i>

1286
01:17:57,850 --> 01:18:00,520
<i>thoughts and questions
about life and love,</i>

1287
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,940
<i>and as much as she tried
to resist these ideas,</i>

1288
01:18:03,020 --> 01:18:05,270
<i>she could not get them
from her mind.</i>

1289
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,650
<i>Finally, summoning her resolve
one evening after dinner,</i>

1290
01:18:08,740 --> 01:18:11,160
<i>she made an announcement
that surprised everyone.</i>

1291
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:12,990
I don't want what my parents had,

1292
01:18:13,070 --> 01:18:15,580
I don't want what I had
before I came here...

1293
01:18:15,660 --> 01:18:19,750
I mean, I know that...
but I know I can't live like this forever.

1294
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,090
- What do you want, Cristina?
- I want something different.

1295
01:18:26,170 --> 01:18:27,460
What?

1296
01:18:27,550 --> 01:18:29,630
I-I don't know.

1297
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:31,260
Not this.

1298
01:18:31,340 --> 01:18:35,720
There is no answer, Cristina.
There is no single answer.

1299
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,440
Please, don't get so upset.

1300
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,650
Please, and can you speak English?
I can't understand you.

1301
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,330
Maria Elena, speak English, please,

1302
01:18:58,410 --> 01:19:00,080
so she can understand it, all right?

1303
01:19:03,340 --> 01:19:06,350
Chronic dissatisfaction,
that's what you have.

1304
01:19:06,430 --> 01:19:08,600
Chronic dissatisfaction.

1305
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:10,220
Big sickness.

1306
01:19:16,650 --> 01:19:18,020
Do you know how much we love you?

1307
01:19:18,110 --> 01:19:20,150
And I love you both.

1308
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,360
- No, you don't.
- Yes I... it has nothing to do with that.

1309
01:19:23,450 --> 01:19:26,120
- Please, please!
- I just can't live...

1310
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,930
Where will you go, Cristina?

1311
01:19:51,020 --> 01:19:52,270
I, um...

1312
01:19:52,350 --> 01:19:54,850
I just gotta get out of here
for a few weeks,

1313
01:19:54,940 --> 01:19:57,350
and I just gotta clear my head.

1314
01:19:57,440 --> 01:20:00,610
It's not... this is all my... problem.

1315
01:20:00,690 --> 01:20:02,190
It has nothing to do with you.

1316
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,530
Then come here.

1317
01:20:05,610 --> 01:20:07,280
Oy.

1318
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:13,620
Let's be thankful
for all of the good times

1319
01:20:13,710 --> 01:20:17,000
that we've spent together,
all right, and...

1320
01:20:18,380 --> 01:20:21,920
and remember each other
with respect,

1321
01:20:22,010 --> 01:20:24,760
all right, and love and affection.

1322
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:27,720
All right?

1323
01:20:33,430 --> 01:20:35,890
<i>Cristina told
all that had happened to Vicky,</i>

1324
01:20:35,980 --> 01:20:39,060
<i>and said she was going to France
for a few weeks to think things out.</i>

1325
01:20:39,150 --> 01:20:40,650
<i>She would return to pick her up</i>

1326
01:20:40,730 --> 01:20:42,900
<i>so they could go back
to New York together.</i>

1327
01:20:49,990 --> 01:20:52,240
So it's been Juan Antonio
all this time?

1328
01:20:52,330 --> 01:20:55,540
Look, I'm not gonna do anything.
Forget I said...

1329
01:20:55,620 --> 01:20:58,620
I just needed to tell someone,
and we've become close, so...

1330
01:20:58,710 --> 01:21:00,790
- Why don't you act on it?
- What, act now?

1331
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:05,170
Break up with Doug?
He's really a sweet guy.

1332
01:21:05,260 --> 01:21:07,300
He married me in good faith.

1333
01:21:07,380 --> 01:21:10,890
For what?
For a bohemian Spanish painter

1334
01:21:10,970 --> 01:21:13,600
with a passionate tie to an ex-wife

1335
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:17,560
who probably doesn't even
share my feelings, if he ever did,

1336
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,270
so... oh, God, who am I kidding?

1337
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,770
But the dream is exciting.

1338
01:21:22,860 --> 01:21:25,280
If I were you,
I wouldn't waste another minute.

1339
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,240
- I'd get on it.
- Get on what?

1340
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,320
Well, you're in love with him. If...

1341
01:21:29,410 --> 01:21:34,580
Do something, or the years will pass by
and you will be sorry, Vicky.

1342
01:21:34,660 --> 01:21:36,580
No, no, what are you saying? I...

1343
01:21:36,660 --> 01:21:39,670
Look, I can't risk everything.

1344
01:21:39,750 --> 01:21:42,710
If Juan Antonio had never existed,

1345
01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:45,460
- I'd be fine with Doug.
- Just fine.

1346
01:21:45,550 --> 01:21:47,380
- Yeah, as I planned.
- Just fine?

1347
01:21:47,470 --> 01:21:49,420
How blunt do you want me to be?

1348
01:21:49,510 --> 01:21:52,590
When I look at Doug, I see Mark.

1349
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,560
Yeah, well, you're using me
to rewrite your own history.

1350
01:21:57,430 --> 01:21:59,230
<i>Despite Vicky's protestations,</i>

1351
01:21:59,310 --> 01:22:03,110
<i>Judy was possessed with finding a way
to bring her and Juan Antonio together,</i>

1352
01:22:03,190 --> 01:22:06,900
<i>and prevailed upon her friend Gabriella,
who was a figure in the art world,</i>

1353
01:22:06,990 --> 01:22:10,240
<i>to throw a party and invite
Vicky and Juan Antonio.</i>

1354
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,120
<i>Meanwhile, as predicted,
without Cristina</i>

1355
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,700
<i>the relationship between
Juan Antonio and Maria Elena</i>

1356
01:22:16,790 --> 01:22:18,660
<i>had gone back
to its old destructiveness.</i>

1357
01:22:39,350 --> 01:22:41,520
<i>As had happened before
by mutual consent,</i>

1358
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,150
<i>Maria Elena packed her things
and moved out of Juan Antonio's house.</i>

1359
01:22:59,950 --> 01:23:02,160
Yeah, I think he's sweet.
I mean, he owns...

1360
01:23:03,170 --> 01:23:05,500
- He gets in very close.
- Yeah, he does.

1361
01:23:05,590 --> 01:23:07,920
He's a close talker.
He's a close talker.

1362
01:23:09,510 --> 01:23:11,550
That's probably why he's so successful.

1363
01:23:11,630 --> 01:23:16,260
I was telling her on the car ride
over here that I'm actually very excited.

1364
01:23:16,350 --> 01:23:18,470
I think he's gonna be a great contact.

1365
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,100
I'm gonna go check out the food.
Does anyone want anything?

1366
01:23:21,180 --> 01:23:22,230
- No.
- No.

1367
01:23:22,310 --> 01:23:23,520
Thank you.

1368
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,730
But he gets in your face.

1369
01:23:25,810 --> 01:23:27,810
No, no, I mean,
he'll get a little close...

1370
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:35,410
Hello.

1371
01:23:38,990 --> 01:23:41,450
Oh... hello.

1372
01:23:41,540 --> 01:23:43,500
I'm surprised to see you.

1373
01:23:46,330 --> 01:23:48,090
As am I to see you.

1374
01:23:48,170 --> 01:23:49,920
I didn't think you liked parties.

1375
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,170
Yeah, well, Gabriella insisted I come,
and she's an old friend.

1376
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,930
You know, of course, that Cristina
and I are no longer together, right?

1377
01:23:58,010 --> 01:23:59,260
Yes.

1378
01:23:59,350 --> 01:24:02,390
So now you're just
with your ex-wife?

1379
01:24:02,480 --> 01:24:04,350
No, Maria Elena is gone, as well.

1380
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:06,480
Oh. For now.

1381
01:24:07,730 --> 01:24:10,860
It's funny. Maria Elena and I...

1382
01:24:10,940 --> 01:24:13,280
We are meant for each other
and not meant for each other.

1383
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,740
It's... it's a contradiction.

1384
01:24:15,820 --> 01:24:19,450
I mean, in order to understand it
you need a poet like my father...

1385
01:24:20,450 --> 01:24:21,950
because I don't.

1386
01:24:24,330 --> 01:24:25,710
Well...

1387
01:24:25,790 --> 01:24:27,250
How about you?

1388
01:24:27,330 --> 01:24:29,130
All goes well
with your husband, I'm sure?

1389
01:24:29,210 --> 01:24:31,670
Oh, yes. Yes, he's wonderful.

1390
01:24:31,750 --> 01:24:33,300
He's terrific.

1391
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:36,300
I'm quite delighted with
the way things turned out.

1392
01:24:37,300 --> 01:24:39,550
Why don't I believe you?

1393
01:24:42,220 --> 01:24:44,220
Don't become flirtatious.

1394
01:24:44,310 --> 01:24:47,190
You know, I realize
your bed is empty now

1395
01:24:47,270 --> 01:24:49,480
and you always had
a little yen for me,

1396
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,320
but we're preparing
to leave by the weekend, so...

1397
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,030
Meet me for lunch.

1398
01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:59,320
I'm too scared.

1399
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,200
No. What?

1400
01:25:04,660 --> 01:25:05,950
You're breaking up, Tom.

1401
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,870
You're breaking up.

1402
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,290
Where are you?

1403
01:25:11,290 --> 01:25:13,000
Okay, that's better.

1404
01:25:13,090 --> 01:25:15,170
That's better.
Just try to stand still.

1405
01:25:16,340 --> 01:25:17,840
Can you hear me?

1406
01:25:17,930 --> 01:25:21,850
We have to get a bird
for Mark and Judy.

1407
01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:23,720
No, we can't get them a bird.

1408
01:25:23,810 --> 01:25:25,180
- Why not?
- It's ridiculous.

1409
01:25:25,270 --> 01:25:27,770
They're beautiful.
I always wanted a bird.

1410
01:25:27,850 --> 01:25:31,770
When we get home, I'd love to get,
like, a bird for the new house.

1411
01:25:31,860 --> 01:25:33,110
Yeah?

1412
01:25:33,190 --> 01:25:36,490
Yeah, and I'm leaning
towards Bedford Hills.

1413
01:25:36,570 --> 01:25:38,400
- What do you think?
- Yeah. Yeah.

1414
01:25:38,490 --> 01:25:40,610
All right, well, hold on.

1415
01:25:42,530 --> 01:25:43,780
Hello?

1416
01:25:43,870 --> 01:25:46,290
Spend tomorrow afternoon with me.

1417
01:25:47,290 --> 01:25:49,500
- Oh, no, it's not possible.
- Hey, buddy!

1418
01:25:49,580 --> 01:25:51,750
We're preparing
to leave by the weekend.

1419
01:25:51,830 --> 01:25:55,420
Be on the corner of Calles Tiles,
Tiles, in Pedrables,

1420
01:25:55,510 --> 01:25:59,090
and I'll drive by
and I'll pick you up at noon.

1421
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,510
Uh, no. You're wasting your time.

1422
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,220
I can't talk now.

1423
01:26:04,310 --> 01:26:06,260
Look, I'm not the kind of man

1424
01:26:06,350 --> 01:26:09,430
who would try to come
between a husband and wife... I'm not.

1425
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,730
I'm not, but Judy Nash called me
and she tells me that you are not happy,

1426
01:26:13,810 --> 01:26:17,440
that you are actually more in love
with me than the man you married.

1427
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:19,490
I can't talk.

1428
01:26:26,990 --> 01:26:29,830
This is nice.
Yeah. Really nice.

1429
01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:33,210
Hey, babe.

1430
01:26:33,290 --> 01:26:34,880
What do you think?

1431
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,090
Who was that?

1432
01:26:36,170 --> 01:26:37,210
Hmm?

1433
01:26:37,300 --> 01:26:38,300
On the phone.

1434
01:26:38,380 --> 01:26:41,800
Oh, it was... it's my,
uh, language teacher.

1435
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:42,880
Yeah?

1436
01:26:44,890 --> 01:26:49,060
He wants me to have a good-bye lunch
with him tomorrow at noon.

1437
01:26:49,140 --> 01:26:50,140
Oh, that's perfect.

1438
01:26:50,230 --> 01:26:52,270
I'm gonna play golf with Mark
in the morning.

1439
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:04,050
Well, this is...

1440
01:28:06,470 --> 01:28:09,390
Oh, I've been working
on these ones lately.

1441
01:28:11,070 --> 01:28:13,360
Uh, yeah.

1442
01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:15,740
They're very overwhelming, my God.

1443
01:28:15,820 --> 01:28:19,410
Yeah. I mean, it's very hard
to explain the painting, all right?

1444
01:28:19,490 --> 01:28:22,450
No, you don't have to.
It's fascinating. It's fascinating.

1445
01:28:22,540 --> 01:28:25,870
This one, actually,
should be the other way around.

1446
01:28:29,500 --> 01:28:31,540
I like it very much.

1447
01:28:31,630 --> 01:28:34,880
Can... can I... can I be frank
about something?

1448
01:28:34,970 --> 01:28:35,970
Yeah.

1449
01:28:36,050 --> 01:28:41,180
This one, it's... it's... there's
something very frightening about it.

1450
01:28:41,260 --> 01:28:45,100
- Uh, that one is Maria Elena's.
- Right, well, that explains it.

1451
01:28:45,180 --> 01:28:49,770
It's very chaotic
and erratic, almost, but...

1452
01:28:49,860 --> 01:28:53,570
Oh, God,
what am I doing here?

1453
01:28:53,650 --> 01:28:55,940
I don't know what I expect to happen.

1454
01:28:56,030 --> 01:28:59,820
It's been a long time
since we made love that night in Oviedo...

1455
01:28:59,910 --> 01:29:00,910
Yes, I...

1456
01:29:00,990 --> 01:29:02,830
...and I've thought about it
many, many times.

1457
01:29:02,910 --> 01:29:04,410
I'm sure you weren't
thinking about it

1458
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:07,250
when you were making love
to Cristina or Maria Elena...

1459
01:29:07,330 --> 01:29:08,960
I never lied to you.

1460
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:13,590
I mean, I told you from the first moment
I was attracted to both you and Cristina.

1461
01:29:13,670 --> 01:29:14,840
Yeah, look...

1462
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,930
I can't just go to bed with you.
I'm... I'm not good at this.

1463
01:29:20,010 --> 01:29:21,760
But you weren't nervous that night.

1464
01:29:21,850 --> 01:29:24,600
- I wasn't married.
- You were about to be.

1465
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,270
Yeah, you're right.
It's what I want.

1466
01:29:27,350 --> 01:29:30,810
But I... what am I supposed to do,
make love with you and then...

1467
01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:33,690
and then go on with my marriage
like nothing happened,

1468
01:29:33,770 --> 01:29:35,530
or just terminate it?

1469
01:29:35,610 --> 01:29:38,450
Judy Nash says you
are heading an unhappy life.

1470
01:29:38,530 --> 01:29:40,990
Well, she's talking about herself.

1471
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,870
Maybe you will understand
more about your own feelings

1472
01:29:44,950 --> 01:29:46,290
once we've made love.

1473
01:29:46,370 --> 01:29:47,500
Yeah, or less.

1474
01:29:47,580 --> 01:29:50,120
Look, I'm not saying
I'm not tempted,

1475
01:29:50,210 --> 01:29:53,630
but it would require
such an upheaval emotionally.

1476
01:29:53,710 --> 01:29:56,050
And from a practical point of view,

1477
01:29:56,130 --> 01:29:58,090
you're not exactly
the kind of man to plan a...

1478
01:30:00,970 --> 01:30:02,260
Maria Elena!

1479
01:30:02,340 --> 01:30:04,220
No, no! Maria Elena!

1480
01:30:04,310 --> 01:30:07,180
What are you doing? Don't!

1481
01:30:20,490 --> 01:30:23,280
<i>D�mela,
d�mela, d�mela. Ya, ya.</i>

1482
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,550
Maria Elena. Maria Elena. Maria Elena.

1483
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:44,930
Maria Elena.

1484
01:30:56,650 --> 01:30:58,610
- My God!
- Oh, my God, I'm so sorry!

1485
01:30:58,690 --> 01:30:59,940
Oh, my God, my hand!

1486
01:31:02,530 --> 01:31:05,240
You're both crazy!
You're both complete...

1487
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,780
Both of you are completely insane!

1488
01:31:07,870 --> 01:31:10,200
How the hell am I gonna
explain this to my husband?

1489
01:31:10,290 --> 01:31:12,080
- I'm sorry.
- I can't live like this!

1490
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:14,750
This is not my life!

1491
01:31:14,830 --> 01:31:16,290
Maria Elena. Maria Elena.

1492
01:31:19,710 --> 01:31:22,470
I still don't understand
what your language teacher

1493
01:31:22,550 --> 01:31:23,720
was doing with a gun.

1494
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:26,550
Look, I told you,
he collects these antique firearms,

1495
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,680
- and he was showing me...
- God! We should sue him.

1496
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:30,930
- It just went off.
- That is so damn irresponsible.

1497
01:31:31,020 --> 01:31:32,600
- No, no, it's not.
- Jesus.

1498
01:31:32,690 --> 01:31:35,230
- Once the bandages come off...
- What if something happened to you?

1499
01:31:35,310 --> 01:31:36,730
...it'll be a scratch. What?

1500
01:31:36,810 --> 01:31:38,190
What are you saying?

1501
01:31:38,270 --> 01:31:40,900
I love you so much.

1502
01:31:40,990 --> 01:31:43,070
<i>Doug never found out
the real story.</i>

1503
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:48,490
<i>Judy knew the secret,
and of course was relieved</i>

1504
01:31:48,580 --> 01:31:50,990
<i>Vicky had not been
hurt worse, or killed.</i>

1505
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,120
<i>With Vicky leaving
to go back to New York,</i>

1506
01:31:54,210 --> 01:31:56,580
<i>Judy's plans to rescue Vicky
from her own fate</i>

1507
01:31:56,670 --> 01:31:58,590
<i>were put on terminal hold.</i>

1508
01:32:02,510 --> 01:32:05,760
<i>When Cristina returned from Antibes
Vicky told her the whole tale,</i>

1509
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,100
<i>and Cristina thought it was sad
how much Vicky had wanted Juan Antonio</i>

1510
01:32:09,180 --> 01:32:11,680
<i>and was unable to say
or do anything about it.</i>

1511
01:32:11,770 --> 01:32:13,430
But I would've stepped aside.

1512
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:16,600
No, no. Look, I knew you
had feelings for Juan Antonio

1513
01:32:16,690 --> 01:32:18,270
from the moment you saw him.

1514
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,770
But if I knew what had happened,
I never would've gone ahead with it.

1515
01:32:21,860 --> 01:32:25,700
It was a... passing thing.

1516
01:32:26,990 --> 01:32:28,570
Now it's over.

1517
01:32:56,310 --> 01:32:59,480
<i>Vicky went home to have
her grand wedding to Doug,</i>

1518
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,070
<i>to the house they both
finally settled on,</i>

1519
01:33:02,150 --> 01:33:04,610
<i>and to lead the life
she had envisioned for herself</i>

1520
01:33:04,690 --> 01:33:06,740
<i>before the summer in Barcelona.</i>

1521
01:33:07,740 --> 01:33:10,450
<i>Cristina continued searching,</i>

1522
01:33:10,530 --> 01:33:13,620
<i>certain only of what she didn't want.</i>
