1:23:02
I don't want your husband.
1:23:03
There she goes,
laughing at me behind my back.
1:23:05
Beg pardon, Delfina, right in your face.
1:23:07
Oh, whispering women!
1:23:10
Going to his office every day,
and him, writing letters!
1:23:14
- He's a fiend.
- You don't know...
1:23:16
...what you're talking about.
- Don't argue!
1:23:18
If Delfina says he's a fiend,
he's a fiend.
1:23:20
- They're insane, Maria, both of them.
- I am insane, Eduardo.
1:23:23
It's an insane world when
my best friend and my own wife...
1:23:27
Eduardo, we must confess.
1:23:29
Did you hear her?
She wants to confess.
1:23:32
We'll confess nothing.
Not here and not now.
1:23:35
- You'll have to be patient.
- I'll have to be patient?!
1:23:40
Hold that gun.
It might go off, you know.
1:23:42
Now, look, I can explain everything.
1:23:44
Mr. Acuna was not writing that letter
to Maria Castro.
1:23:47
He was writing it to Maria,
his own daughter...
1:23:51
...as a farewell note from me.
- From you?
1:23:56
He wrote all the notes you received,
and he sent all the orchids.
1:24:01
I don't understand.
1:24:03
He just decided that Maria
should have an unknown suitor, so...
1:24:06
Is that true, Eduardo?
1:24:09
You were very considerate, Papa.
1:24:12
But how did you come into all this?
1:24:16
When I delivered the orchids, Maria,
you jumped at conclusions.
1:24:20
So your father had to ask me
to act as your admirer.
1:24:27
Well, how did you bring yourself
to make such a sacrifice?
1:24:31
The truth is, I wanted this contract...
1:24:33
And that's how Papa paid you
for being attentive to me.
1:24:36
- In a way, but later...
- Later you got tired of the assignment.
1:24:39
You got in too deep.
1:24:41
So Papa wrote a goodbye note
for you to send.
1:24:46
I apologize for all the embarrassment
this has caused you, Aunt Maria.
1:24:49
It was partly my fault.
1:24:52
I knew your father
was writing the notes.
1:24:57
Well! Everybody knows now.
