1:19:02
...that measured up to that ideal.
- I don't believe that.
1:19:04
She's a big girl now.
1:19:06
Have you taken a good look
at her lately?
1:19:08
At heart, she's still the same
romantic girl.
1:19:11
You were just an accident, my boy.
It might have been anybody.
1:19:14
Any man who arrived
when she was ready and waiting...
1:19:17
...for the lover who intrigued her,
who brought her orchids.
1:19:20
There'd come a day when
the illusion I created would vanish.
1:19:23
Suddenly, she'd see you
as you really are.
1:19:27
And that's...? That's bad, huh?
1:19:29
For Maria, yes.
1:19:32
Yeah.
1:19:36
I'm sorry.
1:19:38
I try to appear hard,
but I'm a fake, Robert.
1:19:41
At heart, I'm a sentimentalist.
1:19:43
I pity you, but I love my daughter.
1:19:45
I want to see her happy.
Don't you?
1:19:48
Of course I do.
1:19:51
If I go north, will you promise
that she'll never know...
1:19:53
...that I didn't send the notes?
- I give you my word.
1:19:57
It's just that I want her
to remember me...
1:20:00
...as she thinks I am.
1:20:01
I'll let her keep her memories.
1:20:03
As a matter of fact,
I'll compose a farewell note...
1:20:05
...that she'll treasure
as long as she lives.
1:20:09
It's best that I don't see her again.
1:20:11
I wouldn't know what to say.
1:20:13
I'll say it.
I'll break it gently.
1:20:17
Thank you, sir.
1:20:26
We're awfully sorry, Fernando.
1:20:29
We didn't mean to get you in trouble.
1:20:31
I'm going to insist that Eduardo
ignore his resignation.
1:20:35
Oh, Mama.
1:20:36
While you're there, will you
put in a good word for Robert?
1:20:39
Of course, dear.
1:20:44
"Dearly beloved...
1:20:45
...as long as my heart beats, I'll never
forget the softness of your lips...
1:20:49
...the pounding of your heart
against mine.
1:20:51
Yes, my dearest, darling Maria...
1:20:53
...I will always cherish the exquisite
torture of our stolen kisses...
1:20:57
...our sweet stolen moments together.
1:20:59
- Maria, my secret love."
- Maria?
