:30:06
These croquettes don't stick
to the roof of your mouth.
:30:13
They are delicious.
:30:14
What kind are they?
:30:15
I n this country, you don't
ask that question.
:30:16
We're all being placed
on an international diet.
:30:19
Let's go back
to the Bible,
:30:20
it's far
more interesting.
:30:22
Now, I don't mean
to convert you.
:30:25
Just read it like a novel.
:30:27
I tell you what, I'm going
to give you five books--
:30:30
Correction, I'm going to lend
you five books.
:30:33
You return them,
then I'll give you five more.

Reinaldo, I don't mean
to be presumptuous,
:31:00
but we've read your book.
:31:01
We both think
it's far superior
:31:04
to the one
that won first prize.
:31:05
They robbed you
of the first prize.
:31:07
But, to be frank,
:31:09
there's always room
for improvement.
:31:12
If you'll allow,
:31:14
Virgilio would like
to help you clean it up.
:31:17
Right now it's good,
:31:19
but it's too good
not to be great.
:31:21
Let's fix it.
:31:23
Second prize
gets published too.
:31:25
That's the real prize.
:31:27
We both think that
you were born to write.
:31:34
( police radio )
:31:42
You can't be too careful.
:31:44
This is the only possession
that you really need.
:31:48
...de la vida.
