SLEEPWALKING
[tapping on window]
MADRID, MARCH 12, 2022
[background chatter in café]
Shit.
Irene.
- Hi.
- [Julio] Hi.
- Uh
- What's up?
- How are you?
- You're in Madrid.
Yeah, but just for a few days. That's all.
But you didn't come to my premiere.
I was looking forward to seeing you.
Yeah, it's just I was working,
and I couldn't escape, but
- [Julio] Ah.
- How'd it go?
Well, it went all right.
Don't worry. It's all good.
I'm glad to see that
you still come to this café.
Mm. [chuckles]
I actually have to go. Good to see you.
Can't you stay for five minutes?
We could grab some coffee and catch up.
For five minutes?
What could we say in five minutes?
I don't know. We could catch up.
You could tell me how you're doing.
Or you could just make fun of me
for how incredibly bad my movie's doing.
It's horrible.
I'm getting criticized from all sides.
- Is it that bad?
- Haven't seen it.
Well, uh, you should hurry up with that
'cause in two days they're pulling it.
I can send you a link so you can watch it.
- Julio.
- [phone chimes]
Done.
I'm not gonna watch the movie.
Irene.
Hi. The table at the window.
- Every shot I directed in the movie
- Here's 50. Thank you.
I would wonder how you would do it.
Really?
I guess that makes sense
why it's getting bad reviews then.
If a commercial director
was your inspiration Not good.
Your commercials are fantastic.
Yes. And I have a script
about the 2004 bombings
that I've been trying to get made
for 15 years.
But I guess you didn't have a problem
copying my idea
and making your own movie, did you?
I want you to watch it
so you can see I didn't copy anything.
I'm not going to watch it.
But I made the movie for you.
- Irene.
- Seriously?
You really have some nerve, don't you?
Seriously.
I mean. What's wrong with you?
I haven't wanted to see you
all these years, so you make a movie?
So I'd forgive you?
So I'd forget all the shit
that went down between us?
To I don't know, hmm,
make a romantic gesture
in order to impress me? Or what?
I don't know. Don't you think it's nice
that someone makes a movie because
they can't stop thinking about you?
- No. I think that No.
- No?
I think it's the opposite of nice.
I think it's a fucking terrible idea
is what I think.
Just give it up, okay?
Forget about me, all right?
Get over me already.
Because I'm over you.

MADRID, MARCH 28, 2004
[singing along]
Are you feeling it yet?
Not yet!
Let's go ask your friend Gonzalo for help.
- He says he's not feeling it yet.
- Huh?
How 'bout me?
I'm so fucking happy.
[whooping]
Hey
Is it true that you right-wingers
have the biggest dicks?
[chuckles]
Does that move usually work
with straight guys like me?
Especially with fascists like you.
[laughs]
You are such an idiot.
Madrid, you are beautiful.
I love you, Madrid.
Have you heard anything from Irene?

Did you ever get the feeling
You said too much? ♪
Ever get the feeling that
You said too much ♪
[moans] Oh God
[moans] Ooh.
Did you come?
No.
- Here, let me help you.
- Hey! No, no, no, no, no. Babe, it's okay.
Why?
'Cause, Jesus. You trying to kill me
or something? [chuckles]
- Really?
- [Fer sighs]
I don't know.
I don't know what's up with me.
It's like I can't I don't know.
Every time I read the news or
relive what happened, I
Is it bad that I feel so alive right now?
Maybe it's because of my eye.
I mean, so I don't have to think about
the fact that I may end up blind and
Hey. Ire. The surgery went well.
So should we go again?
Again?
Uh
The doctor said
I should carry on as normal.
- Yeah.
- And what's better than this? Right?
Right.
[Fer chuckles nervously, laughs]
POLITICAL ISLAM
- [man] She's doing her research.
- [woman] Hmm.
She really should be focusing on
healing her eye
and not obsessing over what happened.
Sure, but it can't be easy for her.
- Mm-hmm.
- Although Fer is helping a lot.
Sure. I'll tell you how he's helping.
They're at it all day. Just like rabbits.
While we act like
we don't know what's going on.
- Hey, I'm going out.
- Call me later, okay?
- Sure. We'll talk later.
- [woman] Great.
Bye.
Good morning.
What are you doing?
Stop it! Don't touch that.
I'm almost done, and if you mess it up,
I'll never finish it.
[man] Of course you will.
[Irene scoffs] Right.
Or not.
Maybe this is proof that
I'm not a good writer.
I'm lucky to have lived through something.
The story's slipping through my fingers.
Lucky? What are you saying?
Well, maybe you need to find someone
who can help you write, sweetheart.
What about a teacher?
Or your friends from college.
Or go back to Madrid.
[woman] No way. Can't you see
she's not in any state for that?
She needs to get better, and that's it.
- She needs peace and quiet.
- Then I should've just died on that train.
Come on, sweetheart.
Look, your writing is really good.
- You just need to keep working
- Wait a second.
A bomb exploded in front of her face.
She almost lost an eye.
Have the two of you
lost your minds or what?
- Thanks for letting me crash here.
- Jesus, you're so heavy.
- [Julio groans]
- [both laugh]
Ah. We had a long night.
- [Da] Mm-hmm. And day.
- Right.
I don't understand why
you want to sleep in the bed with me.
It's 'cause the drugs
and my vulnerable nature mean
I want to cuddle everyone.
- Yeah, but I'm not made of stone.
- [Julio] Uh.
I'm stuck. Get me out!
Better you keep it on
so you don't get cold,
and I'm not so tempted by you.
Well, I'm open to everything.
I'm very open.
[whispers] Irene.
Irene.
[man] Look at Look how well she writes.
Look at her vocabulary, her semicolons.
I've never used a semicolon
properly in my life.
The girl's good.
Are we really going to let her drop out
of college? Hmm? Throw it all away?
Stop overthinking it.
She doesn't want to go back.
And I don't want her to go.
She's fine here.
Sweetheart, what do you need now?
[man] Oh, she's sleepwalking.
When was the last time she did this?
[woman] When she had
that huge physics exam.
- We have to talk to her gently, okay?
- Yeah.
Um Sweetheart.
- Sweetheart, go back to bed.
- Come on.
Honey, go back to
Okay, gently. Go back to bed.
What's she doing?
What's she look Her laptop.
I think she's looking for her laptop.
What's she doing now? Wait. No.
Oh! No. No, no, no, no! Ah.
- Ah shit!
- [urine spattering]
She is not well.
She is not okay. She is not okay.
- Jesus Christ.
- [urine spattering]
- [Jimena] Honey, come on.
- [Adri moans]
Go to your bed. We set it up for you.
- Come on. There we go.

FROM: RAMÓN LAMALA.
URGENT.
"Hi, this is Ramón, Irene's father."
"If my daughter ever found out,
she'd kill me,
but could you read her script,
and then call me on this number"
[door opens]
- Da. Da. Come on. Come on. Wake up.
- Huh?
[Jimena] We're going to Castellón.
- Right now?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- We're holding an intervention.
We can't leave Irene to rot up there.
So get up. The train leaves in 45 minutes.
- All right.
- [Jimena] Let's go. Come on.
No fucking way.
This is Julio. Did you fuck him?
Come on. Have you lost your mind?
Would I be going to Castellón
if I'd fucked Julio?
Do you think I get to fuck anybody I want?
I act like I do
because if I put it out there
then maybe one day it'll be true.
Pass me the Post-its.
You know how it is.
It's always been that we gays fuck
whoever we can,
not whoever we want.
Whatever. Hurry up.
I'm going to get changed.
Okay. [sighs]
- Come on.
- Let's go. Let's go.
[muffled announcement]
[breathing heavily]
What are you doing?
Get on the fucking train!
No. No, I can't.
[Jimena] What? I thought you wanted to go.
I can't do it, Jimena.
Oh, babe.
[somber music plays]
You never say anything or talk about it,
so I forget sometimes that you were there.
Fucking Irene runs away,
Julio's MIA, and you don't say a word.
But you saw the whole thing too.
Well, I wasn't going to let
those bastards rule my life.
At least, that's what I was planning to do
until just a few seconds ago, I guess.
- You wanna get out of here?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- You think you can handle the bus?
- Yeah.
Do you think I'll ever be
able to get on a train again?
I don't know. But we'll find a way, okay?
You know, even if I have to get you
a Europass this summer.
Like immersion therapy.

Platform 2.
[music fades out]
Was I wearing this last night?
Hey, girl!
[chuckles] What are you guys doing here?
Why are
- So you've seen who's come to visit, huh?
- [Irene] Yeah.
What great friends you have.
They really missed you.
Yeah. That's
So What's actually going on?
It's the surgery. It didn't go well.
- Is that it? Am I going to be okay? Am I
- Look. You've scared her.
She's not in a place for surprises.
It's sweet, but it's too soon.
Trini, if you're not gonna help,
don't get in the way.
I've never gotten in anyone's way.
- What are you talking about?
- [Da] We read your script.
And it's Mm Well
It's
There's something cool about it.
Mm. Or, well, maybe not really.
But you know, why did you decide
to go to college? To learn.
- Which script are you talking about?
- Tell her you invaded her privacy.
- Dad, what did you do?
- Nothing. He was saving you from yourself.
Sh. What happened last night?
I don't know. What happened last night?
Nothing. Nothing happened.
Mm. No, something happened
last night because
because my friends from Madrid are here,
and I'm wearing different clothes
than when I went to bed.
And they've read a script
that no one should have read.
So what happened last night?
Do you remember that tough physics exam?
The one towards the end of high school?
Did I do it again?
You mean, you peed on your dad
back in high school too?
- You fucking queen!
- [Da laughing]
- [Ramón] Sweetheart.
- I'm sorry.
If something bad happens to her,
I'll never forgive you.
- Come on. Move your ass!
- Okay, okay. Sorry. My tit fell out.
Where are you going?
[Da] Coming!
["She" by Matthew Simon Clark
and James David Pickering in background]
She walks like she's got some recipe ♪
I talk like a child
When she looks at me ♪
DON'T MOVE, WE'LL BE BACK
WITH A SURPRISE. DA.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry, but you have a
"Look after Julio
and don't let him leave."
I'm Julio.
Oh. You can make breakfast for Matt,
and I'll make sure you don't go anywhere.
[phone chimes]
- Hey, Mom.
- Where are you?
- At home.
- At what home?
You're not at your father's place.
I came to drop off some lentil soup,
and your dad told me
you didn't sleep here last night.
Hey. Hold on.
I didn't say anything of the sort.
Okay? She worked it out for herself.
She's a bloodhound.
And when I lie, it shows on my face.
I'm at my friend's place.
[woman] Darling, maybe it was a mistake
to make you go live with your dad.
Why don't you move back in with me?
- Is that what Dad wants too?
- No, but
Somebody has to take you
to check-ups for your hearing
and to keep track of your medication.
You need someone
to look after you, sweetie.
What I need is to be treated like normal,
Mom. And Dad does that.
So I'm gonna stay with him.
So?
He says he wants
to continue to stay with you.
- Good.
- Oh.
So now you want him to stay as well?
- I have no idea what's going on anymore.
- You staying for lunch?
We're not going to have sex, Pablo.
But you brought lentils.
So?
And I think you know very well
what lentils do to you and me.
It's good. I'm good.
And things are so much better with Fer.
Even the sex is better than before
and is just non-stop.
- Really?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Wow. I'm so jealous.
- [Irene laughs]
But it's not like
there's anything else to do in Castellón.
[Da] You're throwing your future away,
and you're writing crap to prove
to yourself it's not your thing.
If my writing is always going to be shit,
then why should I go back? Right?
- Why should I even bother?
- It's self-sabotage.
It's not.
You're trying to prove to yourself
you're no good so you don't have to go.
And you are good.
What happened to the script for the short?
It blew us away.
It blew you away? I'm pretty sure
you thought it was terrible.
Come on, woman.
You know better than
to listen to us, right?
You know it had potential.
It doesn't matter. After the attack,
I just feel like I need to write something
that's more profound.
You want to write something deep?
That's great.
But you don't have to do it in Castellón.
You can come with us now
or wait ten years. It's up to you.
But do you want to waste ten years when
you know we could all be dead tomorrow?
Jesus.
Fuck.
You could wait until the patch gets
taken off to see how good your sight is.
Trini.
What about Fer?
- Why isn't Fer here?
- Did you call him? Mom.
This'll be a lot harder for me
with him here.
- Why do you think I did it?
- Let's hurry up. What else do you need?
- Uh, underwear.
- What? Underwear.
- They're here. Okay, and and
- Where?
- Yes, that too. Hand me the coats.
- Jesus, that's a lot.
You're leaving?
[Trini] Go on.
Say something. Make it nice.
Are you leaving for real?
Go ahead, Fer.
I think you can do better than that.
Oh God. Don't look at me. Don't
- Go on. Look at her. Look at her.
- Mom, that's enough.
Okay. All right.
We'll leave you two alone.
No. No. I mean [sighs]
Okay
I'm sorry, Fer.
It's just that
I can't let a bomb define my life.
And the last month here with you
has been great, but
Hey, don't worry about it.
The underwear.
And the camera there.
You'll come here some weekends, okay?
And I'll come to you some weekends.
And what we have here,
we'll have it in Madrid.
Thank you.
Are we really going to let her leave?
They haven't even removed
the stitches yet.
[Da] Hey. You can just drop us off
at the bus station.
- [Fer] No, no, no.
- We don't want to take advantage of you.
No, I'll drive you back.
Seat belts, kids.
["Si Es Que Hay Suerte"
by Nosoträsh playing]
You know you don't have to take us
all the way to Madrid?
It's a pain in the ass. Right?
It's fine if you wanna
drop us off at El Pirulí.
- Six.
- I won.
- [Da] Anyone home?
- Out of the way. [laughs]
[Da] Hello?
[laughing] It was a joke.
- Anyone?
- [Julio] Da.
What's with the suitcase?
Come and look who's here.
Irene.
- Julio.
- How how are you?
I tried calling you a bunch,
but everything just sounded like
an excuse so
I'm sorry for leaving
the hospital like that.
I didn't know that you had
[Fer] Good news! I found a parking space
on my second loop around.
For Madrid that's really not so bad.
[laughs]
Hi, there.
Do you live here too?
- No.
- No, no, no. I I was just about to leave.
[Da] You can stay for dinner, right?
Yeah, dude. Stay. Otherwise, I'll think
you left because of me. [laughs]
[laughs] Right.
- No, no. It's
- No, yeah, yeah.
- It's just
- [Da] You're staying.
After dinner, you can disappear.
- Jesus.
- Wow. So many people.
- [Da] Look who it is
- Irene. Hi. How are you, babe?
Why haven't you
gone back to your house yet?
Hi, Matt.
[Da] Which Bustamante? Cabezón de la Sal?
[Jimena] San Vicente de la Barquera.
[Adri] The ones in the second season
are bad.
Come on, bad?
Like you could sing any better.
I didn't say I could sing,
just that they sing badly.
- I've heard them.
- [Jimena] Listen.
She thinks she's a judge on American Idol.
[Adri] Yeah, I wish. Because honestly
- [Fer] Another?
- Uh, yeah.
- It's your fourth and [chuckles]
- Uh-oh.
- [Fer] Mm.
- We're celebrating, right?
- Drink. Drink.
- Thanks.
Throw in the can of meatballs too.
[Fer] With the tuna?
[Da] The ketchup masks the taste.
[Fer] Ketchup, meatballs, and tuna?
I think I'll have to come stay a few days
to teach you guys how to really cook.
[Da] Oh, no. No, no, no.
- We don't like to take lessons.
- We hate it.
You don't live here and
Guys, stop eating my biscuits!
I'm stressing out.
[laughs]
Set the table in the living room, please.
Okay. Go on. Uh Take this.
Got it.
[Da] Come on.
- [Fer] Can I help?
- No, no, no, no, no.
You should stay here and explain to me why
tuna and meatballs don't go together,
okay?
I'm really happy to see you.
Even though I brought Fer?
Is he staying in Madrid?
No.
- Good.
- [Jimena] Coming!
[Da] It's hot. It's hot!
- How's everything in here? All good?
- [Irene] Yes, great.
- Okay. Come on. Matt!
- [Fer] Where should I sit?
Dinnertime!
- [Irene] Sit here if you want.
- [Fer] Okay.
How lovely. All together again.
All right. Let's toast with
cups, mugs, whatever we have right now.
[Fer] Oh. Thanks.
Don't drink too much
'cause you have to drive later. Okay?
[Fer] No way. I'm spending the night.
[Da] In that case, drink up.
[Adri] I don't have a plate.
[Da] You still hungry
after everything you ate?
[Adri chuckles] Yes.
[Da] So what should we toast to?
[laughs]
- To us.
- [Jimena] To my diet.
Because I'm fucking quitting today.
- Do you know why?
- [Irene] Mm, no.
Well, because I feel like I've been
putting my life on hold until I'm thin.
And that when I'm finally thin,
I'll travel and fall in love.
As though my life will start then.
But no. Because I could have been
on that train with you guys.
And I would have died overweight
and with my life on hold.
Maybe we shouldn't
put our lives on hold, right?
[Da] That's great, Jimena.
No more putting life on hold.
Cheers to that.
[Jimena] Come on. Cheers.
- [all] Cheers.
- Cheers.
Well, I'm gonna get myself a plate.
[Da] Right.
How many of the people that died
were on a diet?
[Julio] No. Don't go there.
That's a thought spiral
you won't be able to get out of.
We should all listen to Jimena.
We should enjoy the here and now.
We are amongst friends.
And I'm having a fucking great time.
The Julio we met at the premiere
has come back. How cool.
I don't know,
but let's make tonight last because later
I have to go home and I'm gonna hit a low.
You could always spend the night here,
if you want to.
Thanks, but that sofa
doesn't look too comfortable.
Oh, no. No, no. I don't mean the sofa.
We could bring the mattresses out here
and all sleep together.
You know. Like a sleepover.
- We've done it before.
- That's what they're like here.
- You'll get used to it.
- Yeah.
- [Irene] Are you in?
- Me next to Matt or Julio. Or both.
Everyone's crazy in this house, huh?
[Da] We're gonna watch Awakenings, okay?
It's about catatonic patients
that a doctor manages
to bring back to life.
- Maybe the metaphor's a little obvious.
- [Julio] I don't get it.
Just that we've been through a nightmare,
and it's like we're sleepwalking.
The metaphor is
something has to wake us up.
- So that Madrid goes back to normal
- [Jimena] No, no.
We are not watching that.
Tonight we're gonna watch Thesis.
[Adri] Team Thesis.
Adri, you only get a vote
if you live here.
We're watching Thesis.
- [Jimena] That's right.
- I mean, no. Hey. I meant Awakenings.
[suspenseful music plays on TV]
[gentle snoring]
Why's everyone asleep? It's a good movie.
I think it's because
it's the tenth time I've watched it.
If you want, once Da falls asleep,
we could take some shots and catch up.
I won't fall sleep, 'kay?
I'm not going to miss out on the shots.
Okay.
[Da snoring]
THESIS
AN A. AMENÁBAR MOVIE
[clattering]
- You got up, and you didn't tell me?
- [Irene giggles]
Because you were asleep.
Did you ever imagine
we'd end up like this? [chuckles]
Like what?
Me feeling down
and you fucking another guy non-stop?
How How do you know that I'm
Da.
- Ah. Fuck.
- He's got a big mouth and
I guess he told me
so I'd stop thinking about you.
And did it Did it work?
Kind of, but not really.
Can I tell you something?
I can't stop thinking about the victims.
I've read everything in the news
about the attack.
Yeah. Sure. Me too.
- I think I know everything.
- Mm-hmm.
What they did.
What their dreams were.
If they were married.
If they were in love.
What do you think they would've said
about us if we had died?
That we would have missed out on this.

You don't want to leave me. Christ, Irene,
for someone who doesn't want to leave me,
you're not trying very hard.
- You hooked up with another guy
- I know.
While I'm sleeping in the room!
I don't know why I did that. I don't
Because he's really hot. Why else?
And because he's charming.
And because with
the whole bomb victim thing,
he even had me going.
Where the fuck is my car?
It's just that these last few weeks
have been so weird for me.
And I think that between the bomb
and the meds, the sedatives and everything
I'm not myself lately.
I love you, Fer. Please.
- Please stop. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Jesus, Irene.
Some things are more difficult to forgive
than others.
I know that.
I mean,
I caught you with a dick in your hand.
Jesus, that motherfucker
has quite some dick!
And you're such a dick-worshipper.
There's nothing I can do.
And I don't want to either, you know?
You can come here begging,
asking me for forgiveness,
but I have my self-respect and my
Where the fuck is my car? Dammit!
Fuck! I want to go fucking home!
- Fer.
- Don't touch me. Don't touch me!
Let let me give you a hug.
- You want to give me a hug?
- Yes, please.
So you're going to comfort me
about the fact you cheated on me?
- Madrid really has turned you crazy.
- I don't know. Uh
But not me because I'm from Castellón.
Actually from Castellón.
And there,
we don't forgive people who cheat on us.
No one would ever even dream of it.
And I'm educated, you know?
And I'm a modern guy who's studied,
who understands things,
who tolerates everything, but
My God, Irene. My God!
I have my limits too, okay?
Because in Castellón, limits exist.
And in Castellón,
we don't have this many cars, God dammit!
Let me go with you.
- To Castellón?
- Yes, to Castellón.
If that's what it takes,
let's go back to Castellón.
Irene,
you want me to be in Madrid because
Castellón and I are too small for you.
Not enough for you.
- Goodbye.
- No.
- As soon as I find my car, I'll say bye.
- [car chirps]
Don't leave me. I love you, Fer.
- What do you mean?
- Sorry.
You haven't spent
the last four weeks fucking me
to forget about the people
who died in the attack.
No. You've spent
the last four weeks fucking me
just to try to forget
your feelings for that guy.
Mm, but I don't love him.
I don't know what it is about him!
- Stop lying to yourself.
- Don't leave.
Please do me that favor.
I will at least leave you
with a few parting words.
Important words, Irene.
Goodbye.
Be happy.
My car's been booted.
Fuck you, fucking Madrid!

DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION SCIENCES
MARCH IN ATOCHA
Pretty good.
Is it that bad?
Maybe it's a little soon
for you to talk about this.
What about the other script
you were working on?
[students chattering]
What did the professor say?
He told me
I should go back to the other script.
I don't know.
I guess I'm not good at drama.
A bomb explodes in my fucking face,
and I still can't do drama.
- It's hard to believe. [chuckles]
- Will you go back to it?
- You should. The other one was great.
- No.
The other one was missing something.
I'm not sure what, but
It was missing something.
It's Julio, isn't it?
Are you gonna call him?

1 MISSED CALL
JULIO
- We always have leftovers.
- [doorbell rings]
I'll get it.
I'm glad you came.
I'm glad to see they took the patch off.
Yeah.
I brought a friend.
We can kick him out
when we get sick of him.
Yeah, sure, but I brought some wine.
Expensive wine. A whole five euros.
- [Julio] Go ahead.
- [Irene] It's totally burnt.
[Jimena] A good tortilla isn't cooked
for too long and has onion.
Pass me that glass, babe.
- [Adri] Is it worse underneath?
- I'll still take some.
- [Jimena] No, it's not good.
- [Da] Listen up.
So I've been thinking.
About how if a bomb,
well, not a bomb, 13 bombs,
couldn't bring down the city,
or us, then I say
nothing and no one can. Right, guys?
So how about we toast to that?
And also to you not making
loads of noise tonight.
[Irene chuckles] All right, go on.
Don't look at me.
I'm leaving right after dinner.

Oh yeah?

[Irene] Nice to meet you.
And by the way,
that tortilla turned out great.
Oh, thank you.
Are you leaving? For real?
Yep.
I'm not real, remember? I don't exist.
Don't worry. You're not gonna miss me.
Are you seriously gonna
hold that against me?
It's not a grudge.
It's that to me, you're real.
I think you're the most real thing
that ever happened to me.
- So if I say
- Are we leaving, or what?
Yeah, you diva. We're leaving.
Bye.
Okay. Bye.

MADRID, MARCH 13, 2022
- [Jimena] Da and Julio are coming.
- Unbelievable. Seriously. My mind's blown.
- It's blown. No.
- [Jimena] But not totally blown.
Don't let it be blown completely
because I'm gonna need your help
to stop this dude from snorting
all the cocaine in Madrid.
What does any of that have to do with me?
You said something to him the other day.
I don't know what it was,
but he's totally gone off the rails.
Yeah. I don't know. Honestly.
It's just that I didn't watch his movie.
- If it's not that, it's something else.
- There you go. That's it.
Come on, man.
You act like you don't even know him.
So now you're gonna tell him that
you've watched it and that you loved it.
[scoffs]
No.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna lie, okay? And
So tell him that
you're planning to watch it soon
when you have a free minute
and that you're sure you'll love it.
Sure. Okay, I'm gonna go now.
- Irene.
- Yeah, I'm not going to pretend, okay?
Irene, he's struggling.
He's getting hammered
and going on Twitter,
and the dumbass won't stop
replying to everything.
- [Irene] Whoa.
- Look, Irene.
I'm not just asking you to do this
as his friend or as yours.
I'm asking you as his agent.
Please. He's put all his money into
this movie, and he's going to lose it all.
We have a great opportunity
to sign a deal with a studio in America,
and I need him to remain focused, okay?
To stop writing shit on Twitter
and stop doing drugs.
[Irene] Mm-hmm.
They're gonna cancel the contract.
You don't know what these people are like.
[Irene] Well
Oh, Irene, what a surprise, huh?
It's a good thing you're not an actor,
hon, because you really can't pull it off.
Did they make you come?
No.
Nobody made anyone do anything.
No, they just set me up.
I mean, not exactly a setup, you know.
- No need to over-dramatize anything.
- Ah. No?
[Jimena] Let's have lunch.
No. No.
- No.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- [Da] Let's have lunch.
[Jimena] Who do you keep writing to? Hmm?
- Could you just leave Twitter alone.
- [Julio] They keep attacking me.
- [Da] Julio, I don't
- [Julio] And they're vicious.
- [Da] You should stop
- They're crucifying me.
They're saying
how could I make a movie about the attack,
the worst attack in Spain?
Don't they know I was one of the victims?
- [Jimena scoffs]
- They're morons.
Will you take his phone, please?
'Cause I swear, if I take it
- Give me the
- There you go.
Okay. Okay. That's it, okay?
That's done.
Now all of us can talk for once.
Irene, you had something to say to Julio.
[Irene] Mm.
Well, yeah, um
I think we should
put an end to this whole thing.
Let's see
These are for you.
What is it?
Those are invitations to my wedding.
I'm getting married in a month.
Are you serious?
Mm-hmm.
To who?
