CLOSED

Ten, nine, eight...

Seven.

- Six... - Hey, you!

- Can't you see we're closed? - Okay.

Three, two...

one.

Zero.

Nobody move!

The money.

The money!

Don't move or I'll break your arm!

Don't give them anything. Let them take it!

- Dad, we have to. - I'll split your head.

The register's blocked, wiseguy.

Wiseguy?

Run, Ona!

Dad, the key.

The register key, now!

Ona, what is this? I'm your father.

Take care of mom...

okay?

Let's go!

ECSTASY

110, 111, 112, 113. 113!

Holy shit, Ona!

My love, 113!

- I think she's going to cry. - Should I go to her?

She needs a hug, but doesn't want you to see her crying.

Ona, my love, here's to life!

- To our new life. - How much?

Only seven each.

Only seven? Seven times three is twenty-eight.

Twenty-one.

Shit, what's money for?

Forget the porno pictures and being a statue on the street.

Hello, easy street!

Easy street! Here.

How about a toast?

To my family.

To you guys, that is.

Look.

The bar goes there, in that corner.

It'll be big, made of something like stone, and nice.

People will order drinks, and they'll be lots of money.

The pool table goes over here.

It'll be real big.

With people playing, and lots and lots of money.

The tough part is coming up with the idea.

Once you've got it, it's easy. I'm the idea!

You're the action, and you're the reflection.

Like rich people: Open 6 months and on vacation for 6 months.

With less than 100.000 pesetas?

We'll have ten times more in three days.

Think we'll get anywhere by robbing our families?

If you have a clear objective in life...

anything is possible. Anything!

Look at Max's father.

I have no father. He's a pig.

Do I look like the son of a pig?

A top quality pig!

He's filthy rich!

You've got your old man's eyes.

Stop calling him "my old man".

He screwed my mother and disappeared.

I don't know him.

You're tickling me, Rober.

Who's Rober?

All I've got left.

- What does that mean? - Well, now...

you have to love me a lot.

You have to love me for my father...

my brother and my mother.

Love me from here to that star.

- Which? - The big one.

I love you to there and back.

Eat, Roberto.

Don't call me Roberto.

That's your name. When your uncle talks, you shut up.

Here.

I'm damned glad to see you, even if we don't get along.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- I can't give you more money. - I don't want money.

I want to offer you a solid business deal.

Just like your father...

always solid deals, like quicksand.

He came by the other day, but I don't know how.

He hadn't shaved and wore an old sailor's cap.

Your mother did well in leaving him.

She left both of us...

- without saying good-bye. - You still wear her medal?

Yes, right here.

- Is it one o'clock yet? - A quarter past.

- What's the matter? - I gotta go.

You'll be sorry. It was a solid deal.

Close the door on your way out.

See that fence?

You've got to climb it.

You go through a wine cellar.

At the bar, my uncle will be with his back to you.

- He's got a wad of bills. - Hi.

The money, and don't move!

What the hell?

- The money! - Get out of here, you punks.

Don't move!

You're shaking!

Max!

You jerk!

- Let's go! - What about Max?

You didn't tell us he had a shotgun!

How was I to know my uncle had a shotgun, damn!

He shot Max in the foot.

Let's get out of here, now!

Just his foot? He'll recover.

- Hi, Rober. - Hi, Max.

- My first visit. - Ona couldn't come.

- But she sends you a kiss. - Well, give it to me.

It's not bad in here.

- I'm fine. - I'll get you out.

Don't make things worse.

Six months are nothing.

The judge posted bail at five hundred.

That's nothing...

- for your father. - What?

When did you see him last?

- What are you up to? - How old were you, 10?

Be very careful.

When was the last time you saw him?

I was 9.

In his dressing room. He was playing Caligula.

- He hasn't seen you since? - No.

Why?

This is why.

Text!

"Poor son of Earth...

how could you have lived without me?

From flights of the imagination I cured you long ago."

BEGINNER!

"...you'd be off the map!"

Next!

"You'd be off the map."

I'm sick.

This is from the movie "Once Upon a Time in America".

A scene from a film?

It's very good.

The police chief goes to the hospital to see his wife and...

baby, who are in bed, and his other three...

daughters are sitting right here too.

Text.

"Who loves my girls?

I love my girls, beautiful.

Rosi, shouldn't they eat at 6?

The doctor.

The nurse brings the baby in.

This is my son.

This is my son."

Next!

ABSURD, FALSE!

The best is yet to come.

We have little time and lots of work.

Just a minute.

The last time, you were wearing a skirt.

I'm Rosario Mendoza's son.

Who is he?

Take ten!

Have I interrupted the auditions?

- What do you want? - Just to see you.

Why?

I'm your son.

I'm staging "Life is a Dream".

- Do you know what it's about? - No.

A father and a son.

So what?

Mine is not...

the story of who sought and found the answers.

Rather the story of who, in his search...

has found...

the stuff that inspires him...

to go on searching on, and on... and on...

and ever on.

Have you known him long?

Ever since I joined the actors' workshop.

- I was about your age. - Not too long ago.

Hi, handsome.

Aren't you hungry? Do you live together?

- That was very nice. - Thanks.

You want a part, but that's impossible.

I need 500.000 pesetas.

No less! 500.000.

What for?

- To help a friend. - Why me?

You're my father, I'm your son and I need them.

Congratulations, maestro!

Sorry I'm late, but the shoot was complicated.

- Lola, darling. - She doesn't know yet.

- He hasn't told you? - No.

What about the kid?

- I'll drop him off. - Coming back?

- When can we talk? - Lf he plays Segismundo...

- count me out. - Why such hard feelings, Lola?

I'd never work with him and you hired him.

Why?

Who could play that part better than him?

He says I work because I got to bed with you.

If your out of this play, you're out of all of them.

Maybe that's the best thing that could happen to me.

Of course you don't agree.

Who'd be your driver?

Who'd keep your awards, screw with you once in a while?

Do you want a list?

Tomorrow, at eleven. Rehearsal with you and Quino.

- Max. - Yes?

Come to the theatre tomorrow. We'll talk about money.

Look out!

Want me to drive?

Once I was at home and, suddenly, I was at a hospital.

They pumped my stomach out.

Wait, I'll light it.

I'm scared of going home alone.

Do you think they have...

any vacancy at your place?

Well...

- Have you seen me act? - Yes, on T.V.

You're lying.

You're lying.

- What's with the tie? - It's silk.

12.500 pesetas. Max's father gave it to me to wear.

I think it's from Milan.

Here.

That bastard is sly. He stares at you...

and you don't know what he's going to say. It's scary.

- They're all the same. - Intelligent?

No, rich.

They had champagne, whisky...

seafood and meat of all sorts.

You could set a bomb off in there.

- And the money? - Tomorrow.

I smell expensive perfume.

A woman drove me home. My father's girlfriend.

Max's father's girlfriend, Lola.

My eye hurts.

- I've got some eyedrops. - Do they sting?

No.

Open wide.

You've got a scratch on your neck.

I had to screw Lola. It wasn't great.

A fast screw. Forty-year-olds are crazy.

I'm a fool!

- I waited up for you. - She jumped me and...

ate me up.

Ate you up?

Why can't I do my work?

- She doesn't answer the phone. - It's impossible!

We can't rehearse because no one knows where Rosaura is.

But you should know!

Where's that damned aspirin?

My head's splitting, shit! I'm sorry, Quino.

When that lady is ready, let me know!

- Alright? - Alright.

It took you long enough!

What about last night, Max?

What happened with Lola?

Last night?

Nothing.

- You're here for your money. - And to see you.

I'll give it to you if you bring her here.

Where did you do it, in your room?

At her place?

Not in the car?

Did she tell you?

No, you just did.

I don't know how it happened.

- I swear. - Max, son.

Thanks to the theatre I know how human beings are.

There are only two types of people.

Those who want money...

and those who don't know what they want.

Take a cab.

I'm having the cast over for dinner at 9:30.

Be there...

with Lola.

Very, very angry...

orjust serious?

Very, very angry.

He cancelled the rehearsal?

It's his way of saying: "I love you."

Well, not "I love you", but "I need you".

At times I confuse need and love.

Don't you?

What?

You're too young.

Would he let me work in the play?

- As an actor? - No, in whatever.

Jobs don't last long.

I've tried them all, delivering pizzas...

walking dogs, selling my blood.

Seriously, Lola.

There's no jobs. I'm 25 and thinking of retiring.

You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Shall I talk to him?

The least he can do is help his son out.

- Lola, what an honour! - We're two more, and shut up.

What did you expect, fireworks?

Want my best carpet, or something more sophisticated?

- Who do you think you are? - Are we early?

Don't ruin another rehearsal, ever again.

Excuse me, Max.

- I can't stand him. - The responsibility is mine!

- Lf you're rude, I'm leaving! - With who?

- Lola says you want to work. - Yes.

I'd like to.

I love her a lot. Do you believe me.

Sure, why shouldn't I?

Tomorrow at ten, at the theatre.

Don't tell her I know about you two.

Don't tell him we've been to bed together.

We have to do it, Ona, for three reasons.

One: He's go too much money.

Two: He's done nothing for his son in 25 years.

It could be better, but it's not bad.

I've got more stuff, but not here.

- Bring it. - I can't.

They're huge paintings and heavy sculptures.

Couldn't I go have a look?

Get me photographs and I'll tell you what I can pay.

Above all of the signatures.

I want details.

Sure.

Deduct this camera.

You scare me when you get going.

Take the check, get Max out, and I'll get everything ready.

We'll clean the house out, my love.

- What if he catches on? - That's impossible, Ona.

Only Max, you and I know. If he weren't my father...

I'd say he's in love with me.

- He isn't your father. - I know, Ona.

But he thinks so, and that's what counts.

Daniel Peligro wants acting?

Well, I'll give it to him. Real acting!

We're going to start. Everyone ready, please.

- Max Mendoza! - That's me.

Here, soldier 1. Talk to Production.

Quiet everyone!

- You're soldier 1? - Yes.

- What luck! - Show me your I.D.

- I didn't bring it. - Well, go get it.

Max, just a second, please.

Thanks for the job. Really.

My best watch is missing.

You come on in act three.

That watch will be here by then...

or I'll call the police.

Let's get started!

You can go, kid.

"Dreaming is the poor man who suffers in misery and poverty.

Dreaming is who begins to prospers, works and tries hard.

Dreaming is who wrongs and offends. In conclusion...

everyone dreams what they are without understanding it.

I dream I'm here, in these prisons and...

I dreamt I was elsewhere, much lighter.

What is life? A frenzy. What is life?

An illusion, a shadow, a fiction."

- Go on, please. - "The greatest good is small.

All life is a dream...

and dreams are dreams."

We'll take a 10-minute break.

1 hour, 20 minutes, 10 seconds.

Your reading was good.

Sorry about the watch. I wanted something to remember you by,

- You've got my eyes. - You forgive me?

On the contrary, I'm the one who's sorry.

See that police car?

- I could tell them about it. - And I deny it.

They wouldn't believe you, but I'm not going to.

- Know why? - Why?

I like your being my son. You have energy, reflexes.

We like the same kind of women.

You hate me, and it's logical.

I only slept with your mother, but...

- you stole a watch. - I said I'm sorry.

But 500.000 pesetas and Lola is nothing in comparison.

See anything you like?

I like the idea of having a son.

What made me run away was the "package deal":

A wife, a dog, weekends.

That one.

Nice, isn't it?

Shit, Max!

You look skinny.

I'm fine, and thanks. Thanks!

- Ona told me about your plan. - Look what your father gave me.

It doesn't go with your fingernails.

- How are you? - Fine. What's he like?

He's a little strange, a little scary.

- I told you so. - But he adores me.

He adores you?

Because you're his son, or because you're you?

My friend. Have you got your I.D. On you?

- Give me your wallet. - What for?

If I'm you, you have to be me.

- What about the picture? - He's expecting me at 9.

Why so early?

Max, come in. I'll be right with you.

- How about some coffee? - I'm not hungry, thank.

- I'll be right out. - Fine.

Zero.

- Shall I get it? - The answering machine's on.

- What's the matter? - It's not on.

Answer it, please.

- Daniel Peligro? - I'm his son Max. What is it?

- His son Max? - What do you want?

- A quick fuck. - That's not funny.

It's about Quino. They say it's urgent.

What's with him now?

Yes? Who's calling?

Good morning, Daniel.

This is Quino's sister.

Quino's sister?

I'm afraid not.

I'm in a hurry. What can I do for you?

Rehearsals are held every day, at the same time.

Your brother is a professional. Why all these questions?

I know, but I'm saying that...

he should know when rehearsals are better than I.

Obviously, I know what I'm talking about.

I'm in a hurry. Will you please get to the point?

My assistant takes care of these things.

I'll give you his number.

Daniel!

Max.

Hi, Lola.

Sorry, I didn't realize...

Have you heard her snore?

I have to quit smoking.

You have to learn to smoke, and to live.

When did you leave your mother's home?

A few years ago.

You didn't want to study?

What for? There's no work for people with studies, either.

Excuses.

You people have got it all, and won't let go.

What did you need 500.000 pesetas for?

The truth.

- For mom. - The truth.

She was afraid to ask you.

She was very pretty.

The prettiest actress I've ever worked with.

She still is.

She makes a good living in dubbing. Why the money?

I told you, for her.

Shall I call her to check?

- Yes, Mr. Peligro? - Shall I call?

I wanted to rent an apartment for me and my girlfriend.

Another full breakfast.

You've got a girlfriend?

- Do you love her? - A lot.

- You've been with Lola. - Only once.

- Twice. - Twice.

And some others.

- You don't care? - I care about everything.

Invite me over for dinner tonight.

- What? - To get to know both.

- Both? - Your girl and your apartment.

Why the sudden interest? Tell me.

I was in the dark, on an unknown path and...

suddenly...

you brought me some light, son.

I have a right to see your apartment.

Who paid for it?

That's it.

- That's all you'll pay? - Think it over.

- We will. - You do that.

You know how much money that is?

We'll buy the bar, the beach and even the pool table!

Will he really pay that much?

He will. You know how much dough that is?

A lot of dough!

We have to get it out of the house. We need a truck.

No, a van. I've worked it out.

We rent a van and park it in the garage. That's all.

The problem is getting in.

We'll get a copy of the key.

- When? - Tonight, when he comes over.

- Over where? - You two find a place.

- Us? - You!

- How can we get a place? - How else can I get the key?

Taxi!

What's the matter, Max? You're pale.

This is thrilling.

I'm going to meet my father.

Don't you dare show up.

If he sees you, we'll blow the whole thing.

- How? - Your eyes, Max.

Get real pretty.

To the National Theatre, please.

Get the place.

We'll get there around 10:15, 10:30, okay?

10:15, 10:30. I don't know. Anything will do.

A potato omelette with onions. I don't know.

Give me the address.

It's not a house? What is it?

Is it a house or not?

My sister? I have no sister.

You don't?

How strange.

- Someone played ajoke on you. - Probably.

What's that?

Who is it?

Max.

- Quino should take after him. - Quino? He's incapable.

Quino is a good actor.

He's dull, no sparkle.

I'll give it to him.

- Max's rage too? - That too.

Why not?

Not even you can give an actor what he doesn't have.

And you know it.

It's so spacious!

You paid only 500.000?

No, 300.000. With the rest...

we'll buy furniture and paint.

- How did you find this? - Through a friend.

What luck!

Very nice and spacious.

You could even set up a theatre here.

Sure.

Over there, 2-G.

- Hi. - This is Ona.

- Hi. - My dad.

Let's go inside.

For dinner.

Thanks.

Don't pay much attention. We're fixing this up and...

It's fine.

My brother Rober.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Do you like potato omelettes? - Of course.

- What's over there? - Another room.

- Can I take a look? - Sure.

What is this?

The video guy's warehouse. He rented it to us. Relax.

You here, with that patch? Have you gone nuts?

To cover my eye.

You think he's an idiot?

- I'll say I have a bad eye. - Don't say a word.

- Don't say a word! - I wanted to meet him!

He's my father.

You two are impossible.

He won't have time to notice. He'll be out cold in an hour.

Out cold?

- 4 sleeping pills in his soup. - What?

- I took that picture. - Really?

That's why I'm not in it.

We were entertainers at a hotel.

I'll go on with my story. Where was I?

The King locks Segismundo in a tower, because...

the oracles say he'll be a beast as an adult.

You go on, Max.

He's been there so long that, when he gets out...

he's become a beast.

- Does it end well? - Sure, because...

Segismundo is a softy, and forgives his father.

Do you know why? Even as a beast, he wants to be king.

He wants good clothes, the best horse...

people to cheer for him...

to be respected in the court.

In short, he wants power.

And I want to go home.

Thanks for dinner. The omelette was delicious.

- Thanks. See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

- Can I get you a cab? - Don't bother, son.

- You're not tired? - Not at all.

I'll get home and...

stay up reading until 6 a.m.

I envy you. One only needs to know how to see.

It's as if looking at Segismundo, Rosaura...

and Clarin.

Dad?

Who's Clarin?

- Hi. - Hi.

- A copy. - Of which?

- All of them. - How much is it?

- 500 each. - Each?

Come here.

The camera, the room, contact lens, and now the keys.

We have no money. How the fuck will we rent the van?

Honey, to earn money you have to invest money.

Get it?

Relax.

- Are we going home? - We on the way.

I should wash my face.

Get some sleep. You're very tired.

I had a very strange dream.

I was in a huge empty space...

all alone.

- Alone? - Yes.

What's wrong with me? For God's sake!

Since you know Max better than I do...

what does he expect of me? Did he tell you?

No, he hasn't.

If my father did to me what I did to Max...

I'd kill him.

- What was he like? - I had no father.

I was my own father.

Listen...

does he hate me?

Maybe, but he might want to get to know you.

Sure.

If I could imagine a perfect son...

the result would be someone...

like him.

Who's Clarin?

Ajester.

Shut the fuck up!

We've got to do it now! We've got him by the balls!

Do what?

Rob his house. He's out of it and says stupid things.

Have you lost your mind?

If you cover me, I'll rob that van and we'll clean him out.

Max, what's the matter?

What is it?

What is it?

I'll be right back.

Come on.

- Ring, will you? - Your keys?

My head really hurts.

Which one is it?

This bump is going to swell to...

the size of an egg.

Which one opens this door?

They won't open. Ring.

- They won't open. - I fell down, didn't I?

I probably did, and hit my head.

Why won't they?

Those are for the theatre.

- The theatre? - Yes.

Where are your house keys?

What difference does that make?

Lola is upstairs. Ring.

I'm fine.

What happened?

- Was he drinking? - No, he fell down.

How strange.

Your father is fine just sleeping 4 hours a day.

You know?

- What? - It's the play.

He's been after "Life is a Dream" for years.

Fascinated by the outcast son. Sound familiar?

No.

Look.

Come over here.

Is that me?

Yes, sir.

Make the most of it.

How?

Forgiving him.

What do I get out of that?

Everything.

You can have whatever you want. Whatever.

Notjust money.

Not a home, a future, work, no.

Something much more important.

A past.

I don't get you, Lola.

You don't get me?

- What's in it for you? - For me?

I'm out of my mind, love.

For some time now, I only play to lose.

Good.

Defense circle!

Now!

Up!

Text!

Text!

Text!

Text!

Why would he offer you the starring role?

He's just going to audition me.

- I don't get it. - Maybe I'm good.

- When are you moving in? - This weekend, to rehearse.

- And then you'll be an actor? - He going to try.

Then we rob him today or tomorrow.

Not today, nor tomorrow. As soon as he's out of the way...

I'll call you.

You'll be relaxed, calm, but ready to move.

Then we rob him, no problem. With me inside...

we can take him with no problem. Now, the van.

Fifteen.

Here, Max. I gotta go.

- Don't forget this. - The eyedrops.

I'd like to hear you say all thatjunk.

You mean: "Hasten the heavens as you treat me thus"?

- How boring! - I'm going.

He wants you all for himself.

What are you talking about? You trust me?

Do you trust me?

Text!

- Woe is me! - No. Text!

- Woe is me! - Again.

- Woe is me! - No, again.

- I've had it! - Again!

I'm coming down.

If you don't like it, I'll get down.

Do you think you've done anything?

Listen to my voice!

If you want something, go after it.

Hasn't anyone ever kicked your head in?

Everyone's afraid of crazy people. You too?

Go after it!

If you don't, you're no son of mine!

Woe is me!

Back up the rope, Max.

"And though you now repent, little can be done.

I know who I am.

Though you sigh and feel, you cannot take from me...

having been born heir to this crown.

If you saw me surrendered in prison...

it was because I knew not who I was.

But now I am aware of who I am.

I know I am a mixture...

of man and beast."

You see?

You see...

- how everything is possible? - What's possible?

You're possible.

You're possible.

Hi, this is Rober, Ona's brother.

I'd like to talk to Max. Max.

Are you there, Max?

I'll be in touch.

Here. My place.

The press is still waiting. Sign your new contract.

- Sure. - You look so handsome!

This is what I'll get weekly?

No, for each show.

Don't let those people scare you.

They want a picture and a quote.

Answer their questions, and then the quote.

"My life is like a dream."

Look them straight in the eye, as if you want to eat them up.

Wait.

Here.

For you.

Smile, Max. Get closer to Lola.

What do you think of this opportunity?

What can I say? My life is like a dream.

Now I get it.

- He's double-crossing us! - What's the matter with you?

You haven't paid in 2 weeks, and you want to wreck my place?

Are you out of your mind?

We've got enough problems already.

6 days with the van times nine is 63.000 pesetas!

- 54. - So what!

I still trust him.

- I must be an idiot. - You're as fed up as I am!

- Let's go get him. - He's living my fuckin' life!

- Want some? - What?

Ecstasy. For some laughs.

Hi, Max, can I go in with you?

Just a moment, please.

Let's go.

Come on!

- Hi, Max. - What's up, Rober?

Glad to see me?

What are you doing here?

- Still remember us? - Of course.

- Where's Ona? - She saw you, and left.

- I should talk to her. - No, to both of us.

Are you playing stupid?

We want to rob my old man, and you show up on T.V.

That's worse than a police record.

Who's on the line here?

The van's outside. We're through waiting. Let's go.

Wait, Max. Your father...

isn't the bastard we thought he was.

Make sure he stays here at least 2 hours.

2 hours!

- Less orders, Max. - Look...

you can come with us, or stay with him.

But, if you stay...

- I'll tell him who is who. - Let go of me.

Even if you like him, he's not your father.

Let go, shit!

You've got 2 minutes.

Perfect!

What are you doing?

- Nothing. - Want a drink?

No, thanks.

- I just called Ona. - Your girlfriend?

She seemed angry. I haven't seen her for ages.

Would you mind if I bring her to the party?

- Why should I? - Wait here then.

I just had an idea.

Is there any work for...

Ona and her brother at the theatre?

- The guy with the limp? - Yes.

Max...

Do you know what they call those...

sandbags used for balloons?

- No. - Ballast.

They're called ballast.

To fly, you have to let them go.

I don't need them.

The jewels are in that drawer over there.

And the watch collection is in the corner of the studio.

There it is.

Be careful, shit!

One thing is to take it all, and another to break it.

- You finished? - Yes, now I'm more relaxed.

Bye.

You're not coming?

No. I kept my part of the deal.

- What about the bar? - Daniel's on his way over.

Daniel.

Now he's Daniel.

He's no longer the rich bastard of my old man.

Now that rich son of a bitch is Daniel!

Why not call him Danny?

I have ajob, Max.

Ajob I like and that pays well.

I can't throw that away.

You make me sick. We had a plan.

No, I had a plan, and two friends, or so I thought.

- Let's go. - He doesn't mean it.

Let's go, Max.

- Well? - I'll hurt you, Max.

Yeah?

- What is this? - What?

Go.

Go, Max!

- I'll hurt you. - Come on.

- Stop it! - Come on!

What?

What?

Max, I'm sick and tired of being your father!

I've been dragging both of you along for months!

I'm sick of it!

Fuckin' sick of it!

Max, get up, please.

Max, get up. He's fine, Ona.

Max, please, get up. Max!

Max, wake up.

Ona.

Ona!

Ona, wait!

Ona, please!

- It's me, Rober! - Let go or I'll scream!

Ona, please, listen.

Listen!

We can split it up.

Ona!

Wait!

Wait!

Ona, wait for me, please!

- Listen. - You killed him.

I haven't killed anyone.

You killed your friend, your only friend.

You're no longer Rober.

Ona.

Ona.

Ona.

Max can't hear you, Max.

You realize what you've done?

You appear saying you're my son...

I treat you like a prince, and you pay me back like this?

What can I?

You, what? What will you make up now?

- I didn't mean to hurt anyone. - You hurt me!

And everyone else, including him.

God!

Dad...

what can I do now?

It's okay, don't worry.

It's okay? What's okay?

Go with Lola. I'll take care of this.

It's not that easy to get rid of people.

Go upstairs. You shouldn't be here when he comes to.

Come on.

Tomorrow it'll seem like a dream.

A dream?

But...

- you know he's Max. - Go upstairs!

My patience is running out.

Dad, he's your son.

I have no son! Now you're my only son...

because you're my actor.

- What about him? - I'll get him a cab...

- and that's it. - Water.

You see? He's fine.

He'll take a cab and be on his way.

And you'll be on yours! Go with Lola!

Up you go!

I'll be right back, okay.

You know?

Something like this happened to me once and...

I didn't dare go.

Ona.

Ona!

There's the door. Get out of here in 2 minutes...

- or I'll call the police. - Ona!

Get out!

- I told you to go upstairs. - You're a worm.

I thought you busted my head, but it must by my eardrums.

- Drink some water. - Where's Ona?

What is this?

You still don't know what you want?

Open the door!

Don't take anything, please.

Don't you realize? They'll catch you in an hour.

Nobody'll catch me, specially you guys. Open it.

- Let's go home, Max! - My name isn't Max!

The ballast.

Remember? Let it go.

I'm going nuts, Max.

Let's go.

Without the van?

Without the van.

Daniel.

Woe is me! How unhappy I am!

Wasn't that it, Max? You can't quit the play now.

- I struggled for you. - That's enough, Daniel!

Don't let me down now, Max.

I'm not Max.

The actors, the press and I call you Max. You're Max.

No, I'm Rober.

Let's go, Rober.

- Are you hot, Max? - No, why?

Then why are you sweating?

I know what it is to be alone. That's why I helped you.

And because I would have liked that someone...

would have done the same for me.

You've got Lola.

Lola's too busy with Lola.

I'm going with my people.

I'm going with my people.

What a shame.

Your people are going nowhere.

We should slit your vocal chords, vampire.

Your friend thinks it's my fault his life is hell.

Tell him that's not true.

I'd like to have been the father we're all looking for.

Tell him that...

in life, we do what we can, not what we want.

Tell him, Rober.

If you ever need me...

I'll be here.

Always.

You need first aid.

You've got an ugly wound.

Max!

Max!

Are you all right?

I'm fine, for now.

But I could get worse tomorrow.

- What's she laughing at? - She's gone crazy.

Too bad for her.

Things go bad, and she laughs.

Sure she isn't crying?

Why do you laugh?

Wait five seconds and you'll find out.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Zero.

Ona.

Little by little, Rober.
