We were all much better-looking
back then.

:22:05
You should have seen me
when I was eighteen!

:22:09
All the boys around
were mad about me.

:22:12
What eyes I had then,
full of light and life.

:22:16
And what... everything!
:22:22
You're such a moaner!
:22:24
And your grandfather...
:22:26
had to live through a lot of problems
and hard times in Peru.

:22:32
And suffering...
:22:34
is what ages you most.

Looking for his ruin.

And to top it all,
the death of your father, Don Rafael.

:22:49
But let's not talk

:23:23
shoemaker, haberdasher?
:23:25
I'm a civil servant
in the Treasury...

:23:29
in the capital, of course.
:23:31
Her lady ship got me the job...
:23:36
and I also work for her
in a secretarial capacity.

:23:39
Yes, yes. So you abandoned
the servitude...

:23:44
of all those years with my son...
:23:47
to go with my daughter-in-law...
:23:50
because what you want
is to earn money at all costs.

:23:54

:23:56
Your lordship, I believe
it's the duty of every man...
