"REVENGE"
Hello.
May I ask you a question?
Pardon?
You're Veronica Sanchez, aren't you?
Yes. Why?
Hi, I'm Federico. Nice to meet you.
I work at the university as a lab assistant.
Forgive my interruption, but I really admire you.
Why?
The presentation you gave last week on endangered species.
It really moved me.
Especially what you said about the Iberian lynx.
-It's my favorite animal. -I like it too.
It's a solitary and territorial animal.
It's most social during mating season.
It's an agile hunter that jumps quickly on its prey.
Did you memorize it?
I picked up a copy of it.
So where does your love for animals come from?
My dad's a vet. He works at the zoo.
I want to do the same.
So if I become your boyfriend, I'll get into the zoo for free?
I'm not looking for a boyfriend.
I understand. You're devoted to your studies.
We can be friends, though. We share a love for animals.
Yes, that's fine. We can be friends.
Great.
This coming Saturday I'm getting together
with a few friends.
You're welcome to join us.
Here's my number.
See you.
-Hi, Dad. -Hey.
-How'd it go? -Good.
I spent two hours studying in the library.
Very good!
Hey, we need to talk.
What is it? Is something the matter?
It's about Rocky.
What about Rocky?
Sweetie, I'm sorry.
I had to put him down.
You promised you wouldn't.
Yes, but Rocky was very old.
He wasn't eating, he couldn't see...
He was alive and he was fighting for his life.
Yes, but he was suffering a lot.
Would you have done the same if he had been a person?
Sweetheart...
Veronica.
Federico?
It's Veronica. We met at the library.
-You got it. -No, you went too far.
Did not.
-What's up? -Hey.
-How are you? -Good.
Your house is very nice.
Do you live alone?
For the most part.
My parents are diplomats and are often away on trips.
I spend most of my time alone.
My dad and I live alone.
Are your parents divorced?
No, my mom died when I was little.
Oh.
I'm very sorry.
Don't worry. I hardly remember her.
In any case, people who knew her say I look just like her.
In that case, she must've been a very pretty woman.
Well, I think she was.
-Hi! -Hi.
How are you?
I'm surprised you called me over so early.
Don't you have to look after the animals at the zoo?
No.
I got off work early today.
Good.
What game would you like to play today?
Honestly?
I just want to be with you today.
-Really? -Yes.
How boring.
Well, let's just say that could change.
Would you like something to eat?
The barbecue is going and we have sausages, chorizo.
I could make...
I became a vegetarian two years ago.
I can also make you a salad. We bought lettuce.
-Okay, then. -I'm sure you'll like it.
No, don't come in!
Are you deaf?
Did you say something?
Yes!
You dragged mud into the house!
If I don't clean it up, someone could slip and fall!
If that happens, I could be sued for negligence!
If I'm sued, my parents will have to pay a lot of money
to keep me from going to trial.
Do you know what that means?
That they'll always remind me of this day.
The day I let an idiot drag mud into the house!
Really, bro? Are you crazy?
-What was that? -Go see a psychiatrist!
-No, say that again! -You're crazy!
Federico, don't! Federico, that's enough!
What's the matter with you?
I'd love it if you stayed longer.
I can't. I have another commitment.
Are you going to sleep with another man?
No, Moises. I have another client.
We're going out to dinner and a walk.
What'd you think? That's my job.
I think you're very young and very beautiful.
And I think you've suffered because of men,
but I believe you should give yourself another chance.
To find a man like you?
Yes.
I'd love for you to be here with me.
For you to be my wife.
-Really? -Yes.
Your daughter would never accept me.
My daughter?
She would. She's amazing.
You told me you've been raising her alone since she was one.
Do you think Veronica would accept a woman like me?
Yes.
I don't know.
Watch what you say.
One of these days, I may just believe you.
I have to go.
Okay.
Here.
See you.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable,
but he called me crazy and I don't like being called that.
I think he was kidding. I don't think he meant...
You say it because... Forget it.
What?
It's not important.
Let's go make you the salad I promised.
Look, it's late and my dad is expecting me at home.
It won't be more than five minutes.
If I stay out any longer, my dad will start to worry
and he'll start calling me.
-I can talk to him. -No.
Bye, Federico.
But...
DAYS LATER
Hey. Are you busy?
Yes, I'm studying.
I've been calling you, but you're not taking my calls.
What's the matter? Is everything okay?
I saw your calls, but I've been busy.
I'm attending a relative's wedding tomorrow
and I'd like to come as my date.
They're very fun. You'll have a great time.
We're in a library. Please lower your voice.
Yes.
Wedding's at six. I'll pick you up at five.
Okay, fine. I'll call you.
You're the love of my life.
May I come in?
Yeah.
I'm leaving for the zoo. I made you breakfast.
Okay. Thanks.
You're still mad.
Okay. See you tonight.
I love you, honey.
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you ready yet?
I've been calling you for a while, but you wouldn't answer.
How'd you know where I live?
Your friend gave me the address.
Which friend?
Your friend...
It's not like it matters.
You need to change because the ceremony starts soon.
I don't want to go.
Let's go.
Where's your room? I'll help you pick something.
What didn't you get? I don't want to go!
Leave or I'm calling the police.
You'd do that?
Give me that.
You're not calling anyone.
Enough, Federico!
Give it back!
-No! -You're crazy! Stop it!
Give it back!
