:07:00
"Candida me capiet," capiet me flava puella."
:07:04
-What does that mean?
:07:06
-It's Ovid.
:07:08
"A blonde girl with fair skin
:07:10
will conquer me."
:07:12
-A nice prospect.
:07:14
-It was, once.
:07:15
I don't believe it any more.
:07:18
I've been fascinated by Ovid's
:07:22
words since I was a boy.
:07:25
As if they were part of me.
:07:28
At the start of every school year
:07:30
I'd copy them onto the
first page of my diary.
:07:32
Nothing's happened. And you?
:07:33
I was married in Buenos Aires.
:07:37
Loredana Marengo.
:07:39
Twenty-six
:07:41
Beautiful. A real companion for life.
:07:45
The type that makes you say:
:07:48
"She's the one!"
:07:49
-And?
:07:50
-It was going well.
:07:52
Heaven on Earth.
:07:54
But all of a sudden,
:07:56
without any warning,
:07:59
my whole world caved in.
:08:02
-You know why? -No.
:08:04
-Ask me why.
:08:05
-Why?
:08:07
She found me in bed with her sister.
:08:09
Dolores Marengo.
:08:11
Twenty-one.
:08:19
You had me worried.
:08:21
I've got twenty stories like that!
:08:26
My father's always been
unfaithful to my mother.
:08:28
-She's let him.
:08:30
-You're not like your father.
:08:33
Can I consider you a friend?
:08:35
Do you want to know a secret?
:08:38
I had a twin brother.
:08:40
He was like my father.
:08:42
He was outgoing
:08:43
and good at bookkeeping.
:08:46
He should have taken over
the family business.
:08:49
I was destined to study.
:08:51
Then he died of diphtheria.
:08:53
Now I've got to do everything
:08:55
that he should've done.
:08:57
Get married and produce an heir.
