We're okay now.
Perpetue... Perpetue!
What do you want?
Let go of me already!
Look, don't bother me, okay?
[Perpetue crying]
Ah, oh, sniff.
You have to try
and stop being so crazy,
okay, honey?
I don't care anymore.
I'm sick of you.
Shut up, you bitch!
You're the jerk here!

Honey, you certainly
are nice to Americans, huh?
I'm sorry
you don't exploit that talent.
This one, although he's dying,
would go crazy over you.
You have to use your talents.
If you don't,
God will punish you
and he will take them
away from you.
I'll be there soon. Very soon.
We've packed our bags and all!
Poor thing.
He always wanted to go.
Poor thing.
He always wanted to go.
But he couldn't.
But he couldn't.
I'll buy him
a nice pair of sandals
to go to the beach and sunbathe
because he's looking pale.
You could use some sun as well.
I couldn't.
I get blemishes.
Last night I dreamed Lolo
had died.
And the worst part was
that I didn't feel a thing.
I just didn't.
I didn't cry.
I didn't feel alone, nothing.
It was very strange,
but good too.
Because who the hell
wants to suffer?
Sure, that was in my dream,
because in real life,
I would have to die next to him.

Be careful.
I don't get things

[complaining]
Ahh...
Oh, damn!
(woman) I don't know
why you brought
that woman here.
Mom, don't cause
any more problems.
I already have too many.
Perpetue is my girl.
Your girl wants to kill me.
That's what's going on here.
You just don't want to see it.
Stop yelling.
Don't tell me to shup up.
(Roberto)
Let me talk.
(Perpetue)
Don't touch me.
Let me see if you're okay.
Your mother is messing
with my kids
and I won't have any of that.
Perpetue, I told you
what to do already.
And since when do you do that?
[shaking cereal]
frash-frash-frash
(Roberto) Then, why did you come
here with me?
(Perpetue) Because you told me
it'd be different.
You begged me
to come stay with you.
Don't get all macho now.
Don't get all macho now.
You've come here to ...
You've come here to ...
You jerk.
You think you're so great.
You're not even
half the man I need.

I'm Goya.
No, it's not my birthday.
It's Perpetua's,
my son's girlfriend.
Oh, I'm sorry, darling,
I don't speak English.
You see?
So, what's your name?
Solimar.
Do you live alone?
Do you live alone?
Yes.
Yes.
Don't you have children?
No.
You really don't?
You're lying.
No, I don't have children.
Well, it was nice meeting you.
If you need anything,
you can knock on my door, okay?
And don't worry about the plate.
You can bring it to me later.
(man) That your memory
would be just that.
(man) That your memory
would be just that.
I said that so many times
I said that so many times
that I actually believed it.
I promised life.
(man) Because they left me
when I was down.
(Goya) Oh, look. Come in.
(Goya) Oh, look. Come in.
Roberto, look who's here.
Roberto, look who's here.
It's the neighbor.
Oh, remember
I don't speak English, okay?
Oh, remember
I don't speak English, okay?
(Roberto) Come in, please.
Grab a beer.
(Roberto) Come in, please.
Grab a beer.
[Perpetue speaking

[speaking in a foreign language]
(Goya) To be honest,
with this cold weather
that we're having,
you don't really feel
like going out.
And I thought
this girl spoke Spanish.
And I thought
this girl spoke Spanish.
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
I've just been here
for a long time.
Is that so?
So what? Did you forget?
It's just that
she feels more relaxed
when she speaks in English,
isn't that right?
But she looks prettier
when she speaks in Spanish.
Roberto, could happen to me?
Forget about it?
Of course not.
That only happens to people
who speak English all the time,
and, if I'm correct,
you don't have
that problem, right?
That's right.
Neighbor...
[hitting the table]
tac-tac
Sit down.
Come on, Licey.
Come on, Licey!
Damn, I knew he'd miss!
He's no good for it.
He's a pitcher!
(man) My friends and women
who cheered me up
celebrated my moves...
Well... bye.
If you want to eat,
I can get you some food.
(Solimar)
No, thanks.
[melancholic music]
(Roberto)
What, sweetie?
What is going on, my love?
Don't worry.
We'll bring your kids over.
Come on, give me a kiss.

I'm scared.
Of him seeing me.
It's been so long. Thirty years.
He knew it'd be difficult
for both of us
to go to Puerto Rico.
I don't know.
Maybe if you came with me...
You're insane.
You are insane.
Try to understand.
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no!
You won't make me feel guilty.
You won't make me feel guilty.
You have no damn idea
what it's like
to take care of someone
for ten years
like I did with Lolo.
You have no damn idea
what it's like to run away
your whole damn life.
What do you care about, then?
Wait a second.
You'll take care of my plants.
Oh, yes, madam.
For the first time
in your fucking life
you'll take care of something.
And be gentle.
They have nothing
to do with this.

Yeah.
You are shaking.
You are shaking.
What?
What?
You are...
What do you mean?
Oh, really?
Are you sure?
I mean, it could be a rat.
I'm not stupid.
I'm sorry, neighbor,
I didn't mean to offend you.
I'm sorry, neighbor,
I didn't mean to offend you.
Let me help you.
Let me help you.
What do you want me to do?
Should I call my mother
to go in with me?
So you feel safe?
No, it's not that.
It's not that.
[water falling down]
flushhh
[water falling down]

The plants, you know.
I'd be scared as well
if I were that lizard.
I mean, it's just...
That lizard shouldn't be here.
Just like myself.
Nothing.
That I shouldn't
be here right now.
He's gone.
All right. I'm leaving.
But I'm sure that lizard
is still here somewhere,
you know?
Those animals are not stupid.
If I were that lizard,
I'd stay here. I'd hide.
I'd hide in any corner.
You know what I'm talking about.
We speak the same language.
Although you don't like it.
Just forget it, honey.
[soft music]
Eh, eh, what?
[breathing heavily]
Ah, ah, ah...

Roberto...
(Perpetue)
Roberto...
Roberto.
Roberto.
Roberto.
I wonder where he is.
All right, what is going on?
Why are you yelling? It's late.
It's Roberto.
Get your act together.
If you don't know
where your man is,
how could I know?
Go inside.
Stop making such a fuss.
You're the one
making a fuss here.
And I'll tell you something,
for the last time,
for the last time,
leave me alone,
because all I've ever done
was being with your son.
Besides, if someone
has to like me,
that's him, not you.
Black and all.

Hi.
[bachata]
Oh, damn!
Had I known my neighbor
would try to kill me,
I wouldn't have come.
Just relax.
You haven't told me your name.
Solimar.
Mmm, right...
Mine's Perpetue.
Where's that from?
It's from Haiti.
Is your family still in Haiti?
Some of them, but my kids
are with my mom
in the Dominican Republic.
Roberto is not
the father of my kids.
That's why they're there.
Do you have kids?
No, I don't.
I figured you didn't.
Why?
I don't know, I can tell
about those things.
I don't understand.
I'm sorry. Will your kids
come stay here?
Will you bring them here?
I hope so.
But it's not easy, is it?
I'm tired.
I've had enough of that liar.
You know.
No, I don't.
Yes. You know everything.
You hear everything, don't you?
I'm never home.
He told me
he'd bring my kids first,
but he brought his mom.
I don't like it here,
not at all.
Do you like it here?
I don't know.
I don't care.
You'll always be here.
My youngest one is already...
He learned how to read.
And I wasn't there for him.
You can't get that back.
I can't stand it anymore.
Can I ask you a favor?
It's just that...
Can you look inside my purse?
I don't want
my nail polish to get ruined.
All right? There.
Come on, it won bite you.
Don't be scared.
Can you look for a card
and a telephone number?
Where is it?
Here.
Do you see it?
I'd do it,
but my nail polish is fresh
you see?
Hey, can I use the store phone?
You can use mine.
Thanks.
[suspenseful music]
(Perpetue)
I can't stand you anymore!
[Perpetue and Roberto arguing]

(man)Every night
every day, every instant,
the most beautiful minutes
of my life...
[smiling]
Hmm...
Why do you ask me?
Look, Solimar,
let me tell you something,
in life,
things are supposedly
how you want them to be,
but there are things that,
although you may buy
that whole story,
get out of your control.
When you least expect it,
you'll hear that guy
and his girlfriend
being noisy again
like any other day.
So get those
crazy ideas out of your head.
People like that never change.
They never kill each other.
One of them dies first.
You had an affair with him
and that's it.
What's one more affair
added to that long list?
(man)Every night
every day, every instant,
What do you think?
Look. I look like a saint.
Tell me, "I wish you good luck".
and all those things
people usually say
when someone's
getting on a plane.
It's all right,
I know you'll miss me.
(Goya) Roberto!
What?
Is Perpetue home?
No, she's not.
It's just that
she forgot something
and I want
to give it back to her.
She left.
She's with her kids
in the Dominican Republic.
Oh, I see,
and when is she coming back?
I don't know.
Who knows if she ever will.
Oh, okay, thanks.
Mhm.
(Roberto) Mom, I'm leaving,
I'm running late.
May God bless you, son.

Perpetue left.
She went home.
My mom told you already, right?
(man)
We have to wake up...
No.

you'll be waiting...
Take it out slowly
and put it over that chair.
It'll be ready tomorrow.

I would faint too
if I saw a rat,
but a lizard?
That's weird.
Ha! There are a lot of rats
running around in the train.
They day those rats
decide to revolt,
we'll be damned.
All they'd have to do
would be jump all over people.
Can you imagine?
Look, as far as I'm concerned,
those rats can have
New York to themselves.

Mhm, don't worry.

I put it here

He won't escape now.

(Goya) Oh, look. Come in.
(Goya) Oh, look. Come in.
Roberto, look who's here.
Roberto, look who's here.
It's the neighbor.
Oh, remember
I don't speak English, okay?
Oh, remember

(Goya) To be honest,
with this cold weather
that we're having,
you don't really feel
like going out.
And I thought
this girl spoke Spanish.
And I thought
this girl spoke Spanish.
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
I've just been here
for a long time.
Is that so?
So what? Did you forget?
It's just that
she feels more relaxed
when she speaks in English,
isn't that right?
But she looks prettier
when she speaks in Spanish.
Roberto, could happen to me?
Forget about it?
Of course not.
That only happens to people
who speak English all the time,
and, if I'm correct,
you don't have
that problem, right?
That's right.
Neighbor...
[hitting the table]
tac-tac
Sit down.
Come on, Licey.
Come on, Licey!
Damn, I knew he'd miss!
He's no good for it.
He's a pitcher!
(man) My friends and women
who cheered me up
celebrated my moves...
Well... bye.
If you want to eat,
I can get you some food.
(Solimar)
No, thanks.
[melancholic music]
(Roberto)
What, sweetie?
What is going on, my love?
Don't worry.
We'll bring your kids over.
Come on, give me a kiss.

Of him seeing me.
It's been so long. Thirty years.
He knew it'd be difficult
for both of us
to go to Puerto Rico.
I don't know.
Maybe if you came with me...
You're insane.
You are insane.
Try to understand.
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no!
You won't make me feel guilty.
You won't make me feel guilty.
You have no damn idea
what it's like
to take care of someone
for ten years
like I did with Lolo.
You have no damn idea
what it's like to run away
your whole damn life.
What do you care about, then?
Wait a second.
You'll take care of my plants.
Oh, yes, madam.
For the first time
in your fucking life
you'll take care of something.
And be gentle.
They have nothing
to do with this.

You are...
What do you mean?
Oh, really?
Are you sure?
I mean, it could be a rat.
I'm not stupid.
I'm sorry, neighbor,
I didn't mean to offend you.
I'm sorry, neighbor,
I didn't mean to offend you.
Let me help you.
Let me help you.
What do you want me to do?
Should I call my mother
to go in with me?
So you feel safe?
No, it's not that.
It's not that.

The plants, you know.
I'd be scared as well
if I were that lizard.
I mean, it's just...
That lizard shouldn't be here.
Just like myself.
Nothing.
That I shouldn't
be here right now.
He's gone.
All right. I'm leaving.
But I'm sure that lizard
is still here somewhere,
you know?
Those animals are not stupid.
If I were that lizard,
I'd stay here. I'd hide.
I'd hide in any corner.
You know what I'm talking about.
We speak the same language.
Although you don't like it.
Just forget it, honey.

All right, what is going on?
Why are you yelling? It's late.
It's Roberto.
Get your act together.
If you don't know
where your man is,
how could I know?
Go inside.
Stop making such a fuss.
You're the one
making a fuss here.
And I'll tell you something,
for the last time,
for the last time,
leave me alone,
because all I've ever done
was being with your son.
Besides, if someone
has to like me,
that's him, not you.
Black and all.

Hi.

Oh, damn!
Had I known my neighbor
would try to kill me,
I wouldn't have come.
Just relax.
You haven't told me your name.
Solimar.
Mmm, right...
Mine's Perpetue.
Where's that from?
It's from Haiti.
Is your family still in Haiti?
Some of them, but my kids
are with my mom
in the Dominican Republic.
Roberto is not
the father of my kids.
That's why they're there.
Do you have kids?
No, I don't.
I figured you didn't.
Why?
I don't know, I can tell
about those things.
I don't understand.
I'm sorry. Will your kids
come stay here?
Will you bring them here?
I hope so.
But it's not easy, is it?
I'm tired.
I've had enough of that liar.
You know.
No, I don't.
Yes. You know everything.
You hear everything, don't you?
I'm never home.
He told me
he'd bring my kids first,
but he brought his mom.
I don't like it here,
not at all.
Do you like it here?
I don't know.
I don't care.
You'll always be here.
My youngest one is already...
He learned how to read.
And I wasn't there for him.
You can't get that back.
I can't stand it anymore.
Can I ask you a favor?
It's just that...
Can you look inside my purse?
I don't want
my nail polish to get ruined.
All right? There.
Come on, it won bite you.
Don't be scared.
Can you look for a card
and a telephone number?
Where is it?
Here.
Do you see it?
I'd do it,
but my nail polish is fresh
you see?
Hey, can I use the store phone?
You can use mine.
Thanks.

Hmm...
Why do you ask me?
Look, Solimar,
let me tell you something,
in life,
things are supposedly
how you want them to be,
but there are things that,
although you may buy
that whole story,
get out of your control.
When you least expect it,
you'll hear that guy
and his girlfriend
being noisy again
like any other day.
So get those
crazy ideas out of your head.
People like that never change.
They never kill each other.
One of them dies first.
You had an affair with him
and that's it.
What's one more affair
added to that long list?
(man)Every night
every day, every instant,
What do you think?
Look. I look like a saint.
Tell me, "I wish you good luck".
and all those things
people usually say
when someone's
getting on a plane.
It's all right,
I know you'll miss me.
(Goya) Roberto!
What?
Is Perpetue home?
No, she's not.
It's just that
she forgot something
and I want
to give it back to her.
She left.
She's with her kids
in the Dominican Republic.
Oh, I see,
and when is she coming back?
I don't know.
Who knows if she ever will.
Oh, okay, thanks.
Mhm.

I'm running late.

You'll be fine with me, Solimar.
I promise.
Solimar...
Solimar.
[blow]
Damn it!
[steps fading away]
tas-tas-tas-tas
(Amalia)
You have to leave.
I'm not going anywhere.
You have to leave, Solimar.
I can't believe
I'll be a grandfather,
or a grandmother, which one?
What will you do?
What do you mean?
I'll stay here.
Let's go away together.
Let's go away together.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
You'll leave me
plugged to a machine, suffering.
No, no, no, no, no.
I should stay here.
You'd rather stay here
and die alone
than going away with me?
[sight]
Oh...
Where would we go?
I don't know.
(Amalia) An angel from Heaven
brought you to me
to brighten my life
with the light
of your sweet eyes,
and your eternal smile
that I carry in my heart.
Don't you ever forget
that my soul is here
to be with you,
to cuddle you,
in its arms, my love.
Don't you ever forget
that my soul is here.

[melancholic music]
[melancholic music]
[melancholic music]
[melancholic music]

[cheerful music with drums]
(man)
it's easy to say it,
but it's so hard
to find an opportunity.
I'm intrigued.
I can't stand it.
I'm really curious...
I'm really curious...
And although the water
is very clear,
And although the water
is very clear,
And although the water
is very clear,
I just can't jump.
I just can't jump.
I know fear
always hides desire.
And I can see that
more and more.
when you're
right next to me.
When there's silence,
I get restless
trying to make a move.
And then you look at me
with a smile
and I understand.
