00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:47.140
Hello

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:48.520
Good morning darling

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:49.660
I overslept

00:01:49.660 --> 00:01:50.960
I'm so late

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:53.420
Can you change Javier? I'm late

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:54.700
What about Lorena?

00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:56.700
She must be about to arrive

00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.520
Do this for me, please. Then she'll get him to the library

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:01.520
But... I can't. I'm late too

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.960
You've got Javier's clothes on a chair

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.100
And another thing, there's Lorena's money

00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:08.100
I forgot to pay her last week

00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:09.300
Make sure she gets it

00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:11.580
I made some coffee,
so you two have breakfast, okay?

00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:13.880
Mom I really can't. I... I can't

00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:15.280
I'm late

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:36.440
Come on Javier

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.360
Come on

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.660
No

00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:51.660
Come on

00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:55.220
The Shirt. Come on. Wait

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:14.180
Hey, What time do you get in?

00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:16.180
9:30

00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:18.640
So when is Lorena coming?

00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:27.720
Well, she must be about to arrive, so

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.720
you open the door to her, ok?

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:31.600
Ok, thanks man

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.600
And remember to give her the money

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.600
thanks, love you

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:09.000
What's all this?

00:05:09.460 --> 00:05:11.960
Your job

00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:15.740
Maybe if you'd come here on time

00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:17.740
You could've done half of it

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.320
Hey

00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:27.320
Start preparing the order

00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:29.980
In two hours we'll have another one

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.020
What’s going on mom? I’m working

00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:32.260
Well, what can I do?

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.200
I have a lot of work too

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:41.920
Mom, I’m really...

00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:46.280
I’m really busy and I can’t get out

00:06:49.380 --> 00:06:50.520
What about dad?

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.560
Okay, okay, okay, I’m fucking going. I’m going.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.260
Yes?

00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.080
Rafa, Rafa I’m sorry. I had a problem with my brother

00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:02.500
I’ll be here in an hour

00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:07.040
Rafa?

00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:09.640
No, no, listen to me

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:12.140
I swear I’ll be there in an hour, and...

00:08:12.140 --> 00:08:15.300
...I won’t leave untill I’m done with my work

00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:18.900
Rafa, it’s my brother

00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:23.020
I swear

00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:25.420
I swear. For real. Thank you very much

00:08:37.020 --> 00:08:38.920
Come on. Let's go

00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:52.980
Yes, mom, I’m almost there

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.860
Yes, of course he’s with me

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:56.860
Yes. Fuck

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:00.220
Come on

00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:04.580
See you later...

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:31.360
Rafa. Yeah, I’m almost there

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.660
Yes, Yes, I'm coming

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:35.660
Okay, thanks. See you later

00:09:45.880 --> 00:09:47.080
What, mom?

00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:49.760
What? But I left him at the door

00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:53.420
What do you mean?

00:10:00.380 --> 00:10:01.840
What happened, Javier?

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.120
I called mom and...

00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:05.680
Yeah, she told me. But what happened?

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:07.260
They won't let me work

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:09.140
What do you mean they won't let you work?

00:10:09.140 --> 00:10:11.140
They're idiots

00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:13.140
Idiots

00:10:22.180 --> 00:10:23.780
Hi. Excuse me, I’m Dani...

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:26.440
I'm sorry

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:27.580
Don't worry. Tell me

00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:29.620
I’m Dani, Javier’s brother

00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:32.560
There must have been some kind of mistake

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:35.660
because he told me you won't let him work or something like that

00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:37.860
It's not the wrong day isn't it?

00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:38.780
No, no, no...

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:41.840
In fact he must have started at 9:30, if I'm not wrong

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.080
Yeah, yeah. So...?
In fact he must have started at 9:30, if I'm not wrong

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.080
Yeah, yeah. So...?

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.500
Well, as he usually comes with Lorena...

00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:49.600
I told him to wait for her outside...

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.280
Well, yeah...The thing is that Lorena can't come today

00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:55.280
That's why I came with him

00:10:56.040 --> 00:10:59.120
Let me check if they didn't warn me about this

00:11:01.380 --> 00:11:02.580
No...

00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:04.580
No, no, no...They didn't inform me

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:07.460
Well yeah, she told us and that's why....

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:09.460
I left work and came here...

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:12.200
But the agreement requires the presence of the assistant

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:14.420
everyday during working hours,
otherwise he cant do it

00:11:14.420 --> 00:11:16.680
But all he does is organize those books over there?

00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:17.580
Exactly

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:21.240
Well, I don't think my brother
needs much help to do that...

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.240
But, what if he drops a book for example?

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:25.700
Or if he has to put any on the upper shelves?

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:27.820
There must be someone with him all the time

00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:29.820
But if a book falls, you can help him with that, right?

00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:31.700
Well, that's not my job

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:32.800
What?

00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:34.860
What if he needs to go to the bathroom?

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.540
I can't get up and help him. Nor my coworkers...

00:11:37.580 --> 00:11:39.420
...We all have our jobs

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.500
Yeah, yeah... I see what all this is about... Listen....

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:45.900
You see, the library and the foundation

00:11:45.900 --> 00:11:47.900
are two different organizations, that's why...

00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:51.040
Please, silence

00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:52.760
Shit

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.080
Listen to me...

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:01.760
Sandra

00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:03.760
Sandra...

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:06.440
I understand that you can't take care of Javier

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.040
All I'm asking you is that you let Javier

00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:12.040
organize those books, that in the end...

00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:14.480
is a job that he's doing for free...

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.480
and he doesn't need Lorena to do it

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.720
But he needs someone who takes care of him...

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.720
Me

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.580
I mean, I’ll take care of him

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:32.620
Wait a minute, let me check the agreement

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:38.500
Don’t you worry, Javier. It’ll be okay

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:43.000
Let’s see...

00:12:44.280 --> 00:12:46.600
the agreement says that...

00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.200
The assistant must be registered as a freelancer....

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.340
plus...

00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:55.240
he must bring his social assistant certificate that guarantees...

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.600
he received the proper training for this job

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:00.860
You know, If you bring me these documents...

00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:03.200
I’ll let you do it, no problem at all.

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:05.400
I can't accompany him so he can work?

00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:07.400
No, according to the agreement....

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:09.400
I'm freaking out

00:13:09.400 --> 00:13:11.020
I'm... so, you won’t let him work...

00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:13.400
because of a fucking paper?

00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:14.780
Because the only thing...

00:13:14.780 --> 00:13:16.780
First of all, I’ll ask you to lower your voice

00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:18.780
You’re in a library. Okay?

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.900
And then I need you to understand

00:13:21.900 --> 00:13:23.900
that all I’m doing here is my job

00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:25.900
If you bring me the documents I'll let you...

00:13:25.900 --> 00:13:28.200
Yeah, sure. Your job. Sure

00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:31.400
Okay then. Thank you very much

00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:21.680
Rafa work: we won't need you to come anymore

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:52.840
Hi, mom... I'm...

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:57.060
I'm working at the library...

00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:00.680
Yes, Dani...

00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:04.980
Dani fixed it all

00:15:07.160 --> 00:15:11.120
He's working at the factory

00:15:13.900 --> 00:15:17.600
See you later. Love you

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.600
Bye

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:29.880
What do we do now?

00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:31.880
Shall we smoke a joint?
