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.
1:25:01
I guess nobody had
any way of knowing...
1:25:03
...l'd make such
a complete fool of myself.
1:25:07
Congratulations, Robert.
1:25:09
I hope Papa paid you well.
You earned it.
1:25:14
If I had written the notes...
1:25:15
...I would have meant every word
your father said.
1:25:20
Please, Maria.
1:25:22
He's working overtime, Papa.
1:25:25
You should give him a bonus.
1:25:42
Will you ever forgive me, Maria?
1:25:43
She may, but all my life, I'll be
haunted by your frightful suspicions...
1:25:47
...that I could have been unfaithful.
- Oh, Eduardo!
1:25:50
Go and see that our guests are happy
and leave me with my conscience.
1:25:55
- Eduardo...
- Don't say anything.
1:25:57
I know, you're a jealous man.
1:25:59
- Remember, I warned you.
- I remember.
