The secretary... the secretary...

of PabIo Neruda.''
:40:24
And for you?
:40:26
Not a word, not a greeting,
and he Ieft over a year ago.
:40:32
I toId you, the bird
that has eaten fIies away!
:40:36
PeopIe are kind onIy
when you're usefuI to them.
:40:41
Not again with that
''bird that has eaten.''
:40:44
And usefuI for what?
:40:46
What did I do for this person?
:40:50
In fact, it was aIways me...
:40:53
who wouId ask, ''Don PabIo,
wiII you check this metaphor?''
:40:57
''Don PabIo,
wiII you read me a poem?''
:41:00
I'm the one who bothered him.
:41:03
And you say I was usefuI.
:41:07
What did I do?
:41:10
And yet he knew
I was no good as a poet.
:41:16
He knew, you know?
:41:18
But instead he treated me
Iike a friend.
:41:22
Like a brother.
:41:26
It's not true that you're no good.
:41:29
And I'm not caIIing him PabIito.
:41:34
What has the baby
got to do with it?
:41:37
Why, do you think I'm a poet?
:41:41
Am I a poet? Have I ever
written anything, any poems?
:41:45
No, Mario, but--
:41:47
Then ''No, Mario'' nothing.
:41:50
Admit it.
:41:56
Why shouId he remember me?
