1:31:00
I was used to having time to think
and you just wanted, wanted, wanted.

1:31:07
I felt like a hostage.
1:31:09
Can you understand
how desperate I was?

1:31:26
I dropped you off
at her house one afternoon...

1:31:29
...to go to the beach
with some friends.

1:31:34
And one thing led to another.
1:31:38
They had a place in Ensenada.
1:31:42
It was wonderful.
1:31:44
You can't imagine.
1:31:46
To take a nap in the afternoon...
1:31:49
...to make love all day if I wanted
and not have to think:

1:31:53
What's Astrid doing? Where's Astrid?
Mommy, Mommy...

1:31:57
...clinging to me like a spider.
1:31:59
At the end, I just wanted
to throw you against a wall.

1:32:09
How long were you gone?
1:32:14
About a year.
1:32:17
Give or take a few months.
1:32:20
-My God.
-You're not asking the right question.

1:32:24
Don't ask me why I left.
Ask me why I came back.

1:32:29
You should've been sterilized.
1:32:31
I could've left you there
but I didn't.

1:32:34
Don't you understand?
For once, I did the right thing.

1:32:39
When I came back, you knew me.
1:32:42
You were sitting by the door.
You looked up and you reached for me.

1:32:47
It was as if you'd been waiting
for me all along.

1:32:50
I was always waiting for you.
That's the constant in my life.

1:32:54
Waiting for you.
Will you come back?

1:32:57
Will you forget that you tied me up in
front of a store or left me on a bus?
