:50:00
I tried to accept it and that helped me.
:50:03
But now, it's different -
I don't understand this letter of yours
:50:07
that I just received.
:50:09
Why, Agustin, after so much time? Why write me?
:50:13
To see if I'm still alive?
:50:15
Well yes, I am.
:50:17
But why else? I can't believe it's all
:50:20
because of that movie magic you speak about.
:50:23
Magic that, if you must know, I had to give up
more than a year ago.
:50:30
I walked around
:50:32
but I never found that place.
:50:34
You remember?
The place one never wants to leave?
:50:38
I ask myself, if that place ever really existed.
:50:42
So, here I am.
:50:44
Home again.
:50:46
The past doesn't move me like it did before
:50:48
and I really don't want
to keep thinking about it.
:50:52
I try to look ahead
:50:55
and I'm afraid that, at long last, I've grown up.
:51:00
I was in four films but never got lucky.
:51:03
In three of them, as you put it,
they sent me off to the other world
:51:06
in nasty ways: with a clean shot, with silk
stockings and even with a straight razor.
:51:13
By the way, which way would you have chosen?
:51:17
That was just a joke, I'm sorry.
:51:20
I wasn't talking about me, rather about the femme fatale
:51:22
that made you pick up the pen,
:51:24
poor Irene Rios, may she rest in peace.
:51:26
She can't answer you. Neither can I, in her place.
:51:32
I think I've fallen into the trap without realizing it
:51:35
I do remember the past
:51:38
and you with your bad jokes
:51:41
you're to blame.
:51:43
The things you write.
:51:45
To sum up, what is it you want from me?
:51:48
Perhaps you'd better not answer that question.
:51:52
It's not worth it.
:51:54
Just forget it.
:51:56
I would rather you didn't write me,
answering you is such an effort.
