The Good Intentions (2019) - full transcript

To my dad

and to my mom.

Hey, Manu!

Manu, hey!

Come on you lazy ass!

Are you coming
to the record store with me or not?

I'm leaving in 15 minutes.

Goal!

Goal!

-Great game.
-Great game.

What happened?



Why are you all soaked?

What time did the dinner end?
Why didn't you tell me?

They should have stayed
with you!

What dinner?

There was a change of plans,
River was playing at home!

I had free tickets!

This girl has a fever.

Lala has a fever, didn't you notice?

Amanda, where's her coat?

Did you guys loose it?

She didn't have it
when we left school.

And no one noticed!

Now she's sick, she'll miss school
tomorrow and I'll have to stay home.

Come on, Ceci!
She was fine a minute ago.



Sure. So she got sick
when she got here.

The health insurance cards?

I'll have to take her
to the doctor tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'll pay, promise.

-Bye kids!
-Bye Dad.

Bye Aman, bye Manu.

Everyone in!

You're soaked, you'll get sick too.

Manu, inside.

Shut the door, Amanda, please.

What's up, king of punctuality!

Nestor!

-Legend!
-Nestor's here!

-Watch the camera.
-Nestor's here!

Hi, my kiddos!

Who are my little ones?

One, two, ultraviolent.

One, two, ultraviolent.

One, two, ultraviolent.

They want to transform us!
They will not succeed!

They will not succeed!

One, two,

one, two,

one, two,

one, two,

one, two,

one, two, ultraviolent!

-Dad...
-Uh, uh...

No, it's: "uh, uh..."

- No!
- Yes.

I told you no.

Dad!

You're singing it wrong;
it's "uh-uh"

and you go: "aw-aw".

Enough.

Dad, how's it called?

Try to sing it better and I tell you.

It should be called "Uh-uh!"

Are you sure this is the way?

Look in the glove compartment,
there's a map drawn on a napkin.

Some directions you gave me,
fuckface!

Tiger.

Park it over there.

Careful with my car.

It still has your souvenirs
from last week.

How are you?

It's Mr. Samuel!

King of the weekly logistics,

master of interpersonal
relationships,

I have to talk to you.

Please, come with me.

What's with Sami's car?
Did you crash it?

Mind your own business, small fry.
Put your swimsuit on.

I'm throwing you into the pool
ready or not.

No! Amanda, put your swimsuit on
he'll throw us in!

He'll throw you in!

Don't even think about it, Dad!

Diving hurts my ears, you know.

Come on, "Little Ceci",
put Lala's suit on.

I'll see you in the water.

Hi!

Gustavo, son of a bitch!

-The boss.
-Back off!

Come on, let yourself be loved.

Back off!

Piece of shit.

-What's up?
-Doc. How's it going?

You are wet!

Shoot this, Chebu!

Move a little bit...

Another piano...

...so until March
there's no piano at home.

What a pity...

Let's get out for a bit, La.

Come on, your lips are purple
and your eyes are red.

Besides, I'm cold. Come on.

But Dad hasn't said anything!

He never does.
Let's go!

Very good meat, dude.
Where did you buy it?

Finally!
That mosquito coil was killing me!

Careful, Dad!
You're going to burn her!

- Aman...
- Sorry.

...so you'll be flag
bearer again?

Dad, I'm one of the escorts!

Flag bearers are from
7th grade!

Flag escort, flag bearer...
there's no difference.

Either of both is perfect by me.

There's no boyfriend, right?

-Remember you're my girl!
-Of course!

So I don't have a boyfriend anymore?

Yes, you do!

Besides, Sami can have
lots of girlfriends

like my dad!

Really? Is that so?
Tell me more about it!

Now press again.
No, that one.

I'm really a monster

that climbs through your window

and steps into your bed

and doesn't let you sleep.

I'm a gladiator, I'm Persian.

I am the friend of the tacky.

I'm a toilet, I'm Mexican
and I'm a rifle.

Cute!

I'm Palestinian and I'm a refugee

I'm the enemy of the sacred

I am Lebanese, I am Paraguayan

and like sheep they've killed us.

And those treaties and those truces

those bombs, those markets

There you go!

and those abandoned kids.

And those women...

...also abandoned.

A bar on the beach?

But did he start it from scratch?

He's huge...

It would be great if it works.

Spectacular.

Much better than having money
is having friends with money.

You wanna come with me to drop
off the kids

and then watch the game at home?

Yes, sure.

But don't you have a date?

Mariana? Almost a date.

It's kind of fading.

We'll see. You can always leave...

Oh, no.

OK. You can stay and watch.

No, asshole, the cops.
Random checks.

Hide the weed in Manu's jacket.

It's OK. We're off the hook.

Good evening.

Your license, please.

Do you have some money?

Gustavo. It's me, Ceci.

Pick up.

I need to talk to you on Thursday
no matter what.

It's important.

Call me.

-Hi.
-Hi.

If this is about what you
found in Manu's jacket...

No, Gustavo...

...it's got nothing to do with that.

Although, honestly...

...I can't believe the amount of
neglect,

apathy and lack of responsibility
in your life.

I just don't understand.

It's none of my business when
you're alone,

but when you're with the kids...

...I've asked you a thousand times
to be more careful with them.

But you don't care,

I don't know what the fuck
you are thinking...

Ceci, give me a break!

What I found in the jacket,
believe it or not,

is not a priority anymore,

I need to talk
about something else.

Guille's family is offering him
a great job,

is a very good opportunity
in Paraguay, where they live.

So...

...we're moving to Asuncion.

Who's moving?

What do you mean "who"?

Guille, me, the kids...

The kids? All of them?

Couldn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

Right. How long
have you known this?

Do the kids know?

I don't get a say?

Of course you do, that's why
I'm telling you.

Telling! You should be
checking with me, not just telling!

Please don't make me
say it again.

I hate it, I don't want
to say it anymore!

Guille and I can give the kids
a better life.

And have a better one ourselves.

Besides, life here
is impossible to afford and...

...I can hardly count on you.

I don't want to fight.

I swear. I don't.

I'm just saying things as they are.

I hope you can understand.

Next year the kids would start
school there.

We can talk again
next week if you want.

Now you know.

Think about it.

Think what? You've made
your decision!

The kids don't know it yet.

-Hi, Guille.
-Hi, Gustavo

Have you got all your stuff?

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Aman.

This is Maria cooking.

What is this crap?

You didn't wash a single glass.

I'm going to wash right now!

I'm not washing anything anymore.

-Anything else to declare?
-Nothing else.

A Perfect Day for Bananafish

Hi.

Amanda.

She's Laura, but we call her Lala.

- Hi, Lala!
- Hi.

-I'm Ale.
-Dad had to leave.

I made tea.

It's linden tea,
there's no other.

We got used to it
and now we find normal tea gross.

Yeah!

Thanks.

I overslept. I have to leave anyway.

Who likes Pink Floyd?

Dad.

Of course.

But this isn't Pink Floyd.

Lala, you left a bunch of cookies
at the bottom of your cup!

If you're leaving we'll watch
a movie in Daddy's room.

Yes, go ahead.

I'll just get dressed
and I'll leave.

Lala!

Can't you wait a sec?

-She's leaving in a moment.
-But she said it's OK.

I'll prepare the movie,
you go get dressed.

Take off that t-shirt and put on the
one that mom sent, it's in the bag.

Wake up if you are alive.

Inside you there's
a great explosion.

You can feel it if you're alive.

if you are alive, if you are alive.

Make your own life and don't
complicate yourself so much.

In the end everything
is ending anyway.

Don't be afraid and don't
waste your time.

Live your dreams,
always your dreams.

It's time to change

there is no time to wait

Life doesn't wait,
enjoy the moment.

Help me wake up
your sisters, Manu!

Girls, we've arrived!

Dad, can you help me
with the guitar?

Yes.

Come on, Lala.

-Do I look like Sid Vicious?
-Sure, if that was a bass.

Bye, Jimmy!

We'll stay with you again
today, right Dad?

Yes, your mom's got a thing.

You all leave early today, right?

I have to be at the
record store at five.

No, my rehearsal is at six.

Can't you skip it just this time?
Do me a solid, come on!

Can I be the cashier?

You can do whatever you like.

But I have to be there at five!

It's up to you, Dad.
We'll be out at 4:15.

I know that...

Bye, Lala baby!

Hurry, you're late.

Don't bother me!

Alfajores "Terrabusi".

The bravest player on the field!

I'm going to hit you.

He never cries.

Stop it!

Still, they'll go where their
mom goes.

I'm not going to be a stick
in the mud.

You're already a stick...

And when would that be exactly?

End of this year,
beginning of the next one.

I guess they'll stay with me
until the last moment.

It'll be weird without the kids.

Yes.

What does Aman say?

I think she doesn't know it yet.
But I'm not sure.

Anyway, this is just starting.

Yes, I can tell because you're
clueless as fuck.

Look at that critter.

Aman.

What does it say here?

I already told you: "Dick Tracy:
records, cassettes and CDs."

And who is this?

It's Dick Tracy.

Who is Dick Tracy?

He's a dark detective
from Dad's time.

What do you mean "dark"?

Did you finish, Aman? Once they
pick that up, we're gone.

Yes, but some of these
songs aren't by The Ramones.

Isn't this one by the Stones?

None are by Ramones.
It's a cover album.

Shouldn't I write each performer?

Does it fit?

I'd have used a smaller
font if I knew.

Don't worry.

Dad, what's "dark"?

Your cousin Gonzalo is dark.

Like Dick Tracy?

Like this guy.

I've come to get
my recording tape.

-Your name?
-Gustavo.

How much is it?

That'll be $3, plus the
tape, so it's $4.

I have a $20.

Dad, there's no change.

Okay if I owe you 50 cents?

Bye.

Here, Manu.

You won a prize for being
two hours next to the speaker.

Really?

Thanks! I can't believe it!
Look, Dad!

Cool! Does it fit you?
Isn't it too big?

It doesn't matter, it will
last longer! Thank you.

Can I take something too?

Choose whatever you want!
It's my treat!

Me too!

-Lala, what do you want?
-Los Violadores!

You have all their albums!

B-52 is better for a pretty
girl like you.

Yes, "Beastie two"!

I'll choose one for you.

Do you like this one?

Is "Please, please me",
the very first Beatles album?

That's super right.

Are you taking that one?

Or do you prefer the White Album?
It's a double...

I don't know what to do.

Take both. This is for you
and the double is for all three of you.

Thanks, you're the best!
Manu, look!

Go on, give them everything.

All our profit comes from
copying tapes anyway.

You'll soon become aware.

I can't believe they're leaving.

Come on, fag. I'm the one who's
their dad!

Let's close.

You guys go home.
I have to wait for my lift.

Are you going to the game?

-Maybe.
-I'm not.

I'll have to watch it on TV.

Come on, kids, grab your stuff.

Yes.

Bye, kiddos. Take care
of the albums.

Not a scratch or
I won't give you anymore, okay?

-Okay.
-See you next week!

Or in two weeks. Next week
we are with mom.

-Bye, Nestor!
-Bye, sweetie!

Wait fuckhead, I don't know
if it's working!

-Come on!
-Okay. Go!

Oh, what a burden this baby!

Who's next?

Come on, Nestor!

Jump in!

-I want to see it again!
-No, Manu!

Let's watch the whole thing,
then you can put it on again!

Are you alive?

Let's see, what's going on here?

You can't borrow my jacket,
take it off.

No, I'll check all the pockets.

Let's see.

Come on, take it off...

-Dad!
-What?

What's in Gustavo García's jacket?

Narcotics!

Are you recording this?

Let's see...

-10:15.
-What's that? Oh...

It's soccer time!

Hello? No!

I lost track of time.
Who scored?

There's the replay.

What a fantastic goal!

OK, bye.

Pass me another cigarette.

You see?

I told you that kid was doing well.

You said he was crap and look:
he scored 3 in 2!

It's just luck, Cuqui is not good.

You listen to your dad.

You are still very young.

Look at this one, I swapped it
for 20 doubles I had.

Tell me those you are missing,
maybe I can get them.

From River only Berti.

-I have to write down the rest.
-OK.

Dad we're suffocating down here!

Yes, Dad, we're suffocating!

OK, parrot!

Quite a hairstyle today!

Come, I'll make you a ponytail.

Don't pull my hair, okay?

I won't.

Stay still.

Dad.
Is Mariana your girlfriend?

Well... girlfriend...

Yes, she's your girlfriend!

Girlfriend my balls.

She's not his girlfriend,
Vero is!

Hey! Mind your own business!

Is she or not?

No.

There we go, Lala.

Don't touch it.

It doesn't have any bumps, La!

It's perfect!

- It's perfect.
- Yeah, "perfect".

It's not perfect!

It's perfect.
Don't you know he's joking?

Look at his hair:
he looks like Woody Woodpecker.

Woody Woodpecker!

Aren't you supposed
to get a ticket for the train?

Yes, unless you know
where to get on.

The point is finding the pig.

The what?

The guard. He's in grey.

Look for him.

There! Come on!

Come on, Lala.

I hope you never fix the car!

It's 5 past, Dad,
we've got to run!

It's the same, Amanda:
5 past, 10 past. You are already late.

You can't be later than late.

How are you?

Sorry, I just left them.

Late, right?

Perfectly on time!

Ok, so what are we doing?

Can we grab a coffee
around here?

Let's talk while I pick up the
car from the mechanic. It's nearby.

Well, I don't know.

It'll just be a second.

So I can get it out of the way.

Can't they go to another
school?

It's not only about the school.

It's the school, it's the health
insurance, the house...

...there we will have all of that
taken care without struggling.

They will come often.

Can I tell them?

Yes.

They'll be with me
this weekend. But...

I'll pick them up
on Friday at school

and I'll take them to you
on Saturday morning.

But early.

Please.

Here.

Amanda brought it from your
place to read.

Okay, I'll take it.

It's yours.

My dedication is right there, look.

Shall I drop you off
on Cabildo Street?

Okay.

-Sorry.
-It's ok.

A woman looking herself in
the mirror or something.

It's okay. But not her mother
waking her up.

No, not that.

Who is "partner"? Amanda?

Now I'm recording color to
the minimum.

She walks, walks down the street.

She goes to bars, dressed
like a woman...

...that might be good.

I'd use...close-ups.

And dreams, my partner

they leave and never return.

So many years went by

and there's no lesson like that.

Nice.

Beautiful.

Okay.

Wonderful.

Lala!

Lali!

I'm double parked!
Tell your siblings to hurry.

Dad!

Dad's here!

No, Dad always comes later.

He's here! He came!
He's "over parked"!

There you are!

Come, Manu.
Dad's here!

-Hi!
-What happened?

Nothing!
I just came to pick you up.

What happened, Dad?
Were you running early?

Come in, butthead!

Are you tired, La?

Why don't you take a nap?

Hey...

...kiddos...

Ceci and I were talking about
something that...

...we think would be great,
especially for you guys.

What's up?

You know how everything is here, right?
In this country, there is no money.

Well...

...your mom and Guille are not doing
great with the pizza place and...

...here we hardly sell anything.

You can't pay for our school?

No.

Well...

Not this one, another one maybe.

I want to go to one without
German class.

You can't switch to another
school now!

You have to finish
this year first.

No, this year you'll stay where
you are.

But next year
if everything goes well...

...you'll start in another school
in Asuncion.

-All right!
-What?

Are we going to move to
Paraguay with Mom?

Yes, apparently there you'll
live in a much better place.

Did she ask you?

Of course, kid!
We decided it together.

You're not going anywhere
if I don't want you to go.

It's going to be fine!

Hey.

Hey!

You'll come often.
And you guys love Paraguay.

You went many times
with your mom.

But... are you coming too?

Sure...

...I'll go visit you now and then.

When are we leaving?

In February.

It's already decided?

It almost is.

Do you want us to go, Dad?

What I want...actually...

I'm not going.

Come on, Amanda!

-Stop it, everyone's going.
-I'm not.

I'm staying with you.

With me? Are you nuts? No.

-Why?
-Just picture it!

What?

I'll stay here and I'll go
visit them from time to time.

Me too!

OK. Stop it!

We'll discuss it.

Help me with Lala, I'll close.

What?

No!

Come on!

Kick it slowly!

Good job!

I don't see
what's the problem, dude.

She's setting up camp!

I have a 2-room apartment,
and I need 1 extra room,

a room for me, basically.

Why don't you go to
your parents' country house?

You have like 2000 acres there
just for you.

What the fuck are you doing?
Can't you stretch well?

You're the funniest guy
I know, chief!

I know. I'm doing it for you.

Hey! Come on!

Come back!

Go, Dad!

...that day Dad scored 3 goals!

Sure. Just on the day I didn't come.

Yeah, sure!

I think I was here!

No you weren't.

But I was here another time!

Yes, you were here another time.

Oh, it flies away.

Here I go!

Damn it, man!

What?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

What did you say?

Is Daddy going to fight?

No.

They always pretend they will
but never actually do.

If the kids weren't here
you'd be dead, asshole!

Wanna fight? Come now!

Stop it!

Are you crazy?

The kids are here!
Besides he'd kill you, asshole.

Easy, boys!

Amanda.

Do you want tea or hot chocolate?

Amanda.

Hey!

Tea or hot chocolate?

Tea.

Leave that and come
to the table, please.

Be careful. It's hot.

-Mom.
-Yes?

When are we going
to move to Asuncion?

After the summer, I guess.
When school starts.

And what school will we go to?

A beautiful one,

the one Ani's kids go to.

-Who is Ani?
-Aunt Ani, Guille's sister.

His cousin.

Do you want some toast?

Dad told me that if I really wanted,
I could stay with him.

Amanda...

...don't you know your dad?
You're talking nonsense!

Imagine what school
you'll end up if you stay with him.

Come on!

He told me that I could stay in
the same school.

Sure.
You're not listening to me.

Don't you know your dad?

Because I do know him.
I've known him for a very long time

and no matter what he promises,
he ends up doing something else...

He told me I don't have to leave
unless I want to. OK?

Eat!

You too.

Mom...

...are we leaving for sure?

Yes.

Unless I win the lottery or...

...even less likely,
Gustavo starts helping

in the maintenance of you three, yes

we are leaving for sure.

I don't want to go.

And whom are you going to stay with?

With Dad, who else?

And where are you going to sleep?

In a living room?

What are you going to eat
every day?

Pizza?

Did you think about that?

Help me with the dishes.

Dad could move.

Your dad moves when
someone lends him a place.

Do you think many people

is willing to offer a 3-room
apartment for free?

We just need two bedrooms.

Two bedrooms are enough.

It's called 3-room because
of the living room.

Would you let me stay
if I had my own room?

Room, school and health insurance
payments up to date...

...it's a little bit complicated.

If I had all those things would
you let me stay?

Amanda...

...do whatever you want.

I'm not going to force you.
Do whatever you want.

But think hard!

Really think what you want to do.

Okay.

Are you really staying
with this one?

He won't help you with your hair
or your homework,

he's a lousy cook...

Dude- she already knows that...

You do your hair yourself, right?

I know how things are, OK?

I don't need help with
my homework either.

I'm looking into getting a
scholarship for school.

Because it's expensive, you know?

Don't worry, I've got it
all figured out.

She is going all the way, dude.
Are you ready for this?

I guess. It's quite crazy.

It´s not going to happen.

Hey, calm down!
Are you crazy?

Where is Aman?

Here.

You just have to sign here

and fill out this part.

-Here, the one you needed.
-Great!

"Father's occupation".
Why didn't you fill that?

I didn't know what to write.

Moron!

Employee?

Whose?

Yours, jerk, what's the difference?

The less they know the better.

How about "unemployed"?

Do I look unemployed?

No, but it'd help get
the scholarship.

Leave "employee", they'll still
give it to you.

If not, you'll have to leave
with your mommy.

Dad.

I think those guys took the Marley
double album...

Fuck! this is what I get
for dicking around with you!

Move your fat ass and catch them!

I do not want to write a blues song

I do not want to see the light

I just want to be with you
every morning

and your awakening to be better

in these tough times

the sun can still rise
among the clouds.

Fuck...

It isn't easy...

I'm short money.

How much did you
take from the store?

2, 3, 4...

What a good neighbor.

I'd kill you if I had
to live with you.

Yeah, I'd also kill me.

Unbelievable.

Why am I missing money?

It must be here...

-Weird...
-What's up?

- That lucky little bitch...
- New girlfriend?

Amanda. Her school's giving her
a full scholarship.

How so? Aren't they
going to Paraguay?

Looks like she's not.

Great!

Are you happy?

How the fuck did she manage that?

Dude!

-The little lady is staying.
-It's spectacular!

But my apartment is too small.

-Where will you go?
-No idea. I need a bigger place.

What about money?

A higher rent, someone
to feed every day...

Are you going to cook?

A bit of reality
will be good for Amanda.

More? I think she has
enough to spare.

Then why the worry?
We're going to be fine.

Do you have the keys?

You just opened.

I just need a bigger place.

Do you know if Sami's
bachelor's pad is available?

It'll be free next month.

-How many rooms?
-No, but he wants to rent it out...

-Exactly!
-To someone who can pay for it.

Exactly!

Mattress!

Genius.

You could of stripped the bed
before you moved.

Sorry, no one helped me.

I forgot about the sheets.

You won't regret it, man!

If these walls could talk, uh?

Try not to say that
in front of Paula, asshole...

...or I'll be needing
this apartment again.

I see there is some damage here.

I just want to say

you should have been present
during the riot.

Let's show...

The house is great, man!

It seems like a proper family house.

It just has an extra room
for Amanda...

...and for the kids
when they come.

So they don't have to keep
sleeping in the living room.

And here: a little pool.

The pool should already be here!

I do not know why it is not.

Yes.

I'm feeling good
about Amanda staying.

She can adapt to anything.

You're looking much better already.

Let's go with the ladies,

it's a sort of stag night, isn't it?

Something big is coming.

I have a brother who plays the
trumpet,

he used to play the clarinet,

my mother had a jazz
band, and she was a piano teacher,

she was a biochemist,
but she was also a piano teacher...

Then she created a jazz band
and started to play the banjo.

And my brother played
the clarinet.

Then he left for like 20 years...

Manu, tell Mom he is here
and we'll call her later.

Go with him, La,
I want to see if he's awake.

But I really need to pee!

It's just one second, La!

Nestor.

Nestor.

Nestor.

What happened?

Hi.

Nestor.

Do you know if Dad's here?

Hi, Aman!

Hi.

He's probably sleeping
in his room.

Did he know you're coming?

Yes, I'm with the kids.

They're outside.

They're waiting for me.

You see...

...there was a little party
yesterday.

Exactly.

Is he alone?

Who knows?

I'll check.
I'll knock on the door...

No, no, no.

I'll wake him up.

He went to bed really late,
poor thing.

He was probably tidying up.

Tidying up?

Yes.

This place is a disaster.

Yes.

Go wake him up.

Lala needs to pee. Come on.

Come on, Nestor!

Get up, Nestor!

Come in! Make yourselves at home!

-Come on, she's about to pee!
-Yes!

Wait!
Dad's still asleep.

Then come back to the living room.

What did Mom say?

That you didn't say goodbye.

Hi, Manolo.

Nestor.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here, asshole?!

Who do you think was your
doorman all night?

You left the party
right in the middle!

- Has she gone?
- No, she's here.

Well, so are your three offspring.

Oh, that's right, man!

- What time is it?
- Four.

I need to ask you a favor...

...a huge favor, please.

Take them to the park
or something

give me an hour,
so I can clean this shithole.

That will take more than an hour!

No.

I'm coming back in exactly one hour.

Then I'll have to go
to work at your store.

- OK. Perfect.
- Perfect...fuck you.

Luli!

Stay back.

Yes, but he needs the guitar.

When is Cecilia leaving?

Next weekend.

The kids will stay with her until
Saturday

and on New Year's Day
we'll all go to the beach.

Where to?

Uruguay.

Shorty rented a big house,
so we'll all go there.

Where is Dad?

I need the guitar, Aman.

Maybe I'll drop by some weekend
and visit that dork.

I'll stay the whole month
unless I ran out of money.

There might be a little job
for me too, so...

The whole month? When were
you planning on telling me?

Fortunately I stay at the store,
taking care of your business, man!

I don't know how you always
manage to land on your feet.

Me neither.

Bye. I've got to be
at a school event.

Bye.

The camera, Nestor?

It's in the backseat.

Bye, legend!

Bye, champ.

...on this important day

let's receive our national flag

with love and respect.

Carrying the sovereign badge...

-Hi.
-Hi.

And Vero?

Who?

Vero! I saved a seat for her.

Great!

Would you take all this?
The camera is super heavy.

Ah! And take the crafts with you.

I'm going to film Manu!

You already missed Lala.

-I'll film her alone, later.
-OK.

Ceci.

Great, kiddo!

All right, Manu!

Well done, Aman!

Good job!

Way to go!

Can I keep the Sebastian
the Crab mug?

Yes, it's yours!

But you gave it to me!

She needs a mug
to have breakfast every day,

La, you've got loads.

Fine. You keep it.
But take care of it, OK?

Yes.

Make sure you use the lotion
I put in the bag for the kids.

If you don't, then you'll burn.

Use it when you leave the beach,
so your skin won't peel.

-Remember that, Aman. Your dad won't.
-I will, Mom. Don't worry.

Did you hear, Manu?

When Amanda says so,
you'll put on the lotion.

Otherwise it'll burn,
you won't be able to sleep.

-You too, little one, huh?
-Yes! I love putting on lotion!

Call Granny if you need anything.

As soon as we get there

I'll give you
our number so you can call us.

OK.

You're going to be fine.

You know you can always come.

Whenever you want, come with us.

Don't worry, Mom.

All right, little ones.

Be good on your trip.

I love you very much, Amanda.

Me too.

Bye Mom!

Bye, baby.
I'll call you tonight.

-Phone me tonight!
-Yes.

-Don't cry.
-No, I don't.

You. Are you going to give
me a hug? Go ahead.

Come here.

Do as Amanda says, OK?

Always. Ok?

Don't worry.

Good luck there!

Listen.

Amanda has the three
travel permits.

Try not to lose any.

Let me know if there's any problem,

I'll come for her.

-In that case I'll send her, relax.
-OK.

Gustavo.

Take care.

Our passports?

Let's watch a movie!

Yeah, The Little Mermaid!

Bye, Mom! See you in Paraguay!

Bye!

Did it have to be
the last one, dad?

We are closer now.

I don't want to

I don't want to be with you
ever again

because I know,
everything's alright

everything's alright

everything's alright.

I don't want to

I don't want to go to work
ever again

because I know,
everything's alright

everything's alright

everything's alright.

I skipped the appointment

I skipped the appointment
and the doctor will be mad

because I know,
everything's alright

everything's alright

everything's not alright.

I don't want to

January sun, stay a little longer

because now

everything's alright

everything's alright

everything's alright...

That was beautiful, man.
Beautiful.

How did you add the music?

With a new gadget.

You connect the camera to the VCR
and when you're transferring

you can add any music
you want

reducing the original sound
or just leaving it.

Great.

Would you roll a joint?

Yes.

Go to your room for a bit, kids.

Nestor and I need to talk about
a couple of things.

We want to watch TV!

OK, it'll be just 10.

Don't you kids need
to finish packing?

-Have you done any of it?
-Aman has to help us.

I did mine already!

Very good, Laluchita.

You're the best.

Putting your doll in a bag
isn't packing, you know?

You see?

Go get everything ready
and then come back.

What time should we be
at the airport?

They have to be there at 3.

So we'll be leaving at 2:40.

We should be earlier.

We'll have to take them

...to the one
who'll put them on the plane.

Do you have the tickets?

I have them!

Wait.

Wait a second. Here.

It's better if I keep them.

Come on, guys.

Come on, Manu.

Hold on, we forgot these.
Dad gave them to me.

Did he say you could have them?

Sure! Ask him!

Are you going to visit us?

Yes, or you'll come here...

When?

Before you realize.

I always realize...

I am truly a monster

that climbs through your window

Did you gather
your dirty clothes, Lala?

There they are.

I am a murderous Latino...

Now there's much more space.

Hi, Mom.

It's me. Aman.

Yes, everything's OK.

OK dudes, I'm off!

-Shall I pop by tomorrow at 1?
-1:30!

-Bye, Aman.
-Bye, Nestor.

See you tomorrow?

Bye, kiddo, I love you.

I love you too.

I believe that's not yours!

Come on, a little roach
for the uncle...

Bye, bye, asshole.

So?

Do the little ones have their things
all ready?

Yes.

What's the matter?

I think we should get to the
airport earlier!

Oh, Amanda.

We'll get there fine! Don't be
a pain in the ass.

-Dad...
-What?

What are we having for dinner?

I'll make some noodles.

Anything else "little Cecilia"?

We'll get there OK, Aman.

We can leave 15 minutes
earlier if you want.

It's fine.

Did you give Manu
the songbooks?

No, but let him have them.

And Lala's taking your dolls
from the living room.

I gave them to her.

But then you tell me
off when your things go missing!

When did I do that?

If all goes well,
we can go visit them in May.

By car, or maybe even by plane!

I don't know if I'll be able.

Of course you will!
In winter holidays

or a long weekend.

You don't need to have
perfect attendance!

I don't know if I can handle it.

It's great here,
but without the kids...

...I hadn't thought about it.

Yes, me neither, it'll be weird...

But you'll see
you'll visit them really soon...

...and they'll come here.

You think without your mom
this will be chaos, right?

No, no.

I have my room and I'd make
it nice really quickly!

The thing is...

...I'm worried about
the kids without me...

...me without them...

...I don't know.

It's going to be weird.

I know I'm killing you, Dad.

I spoke to Mom just now.

I needed her opinion.

She told me to stay with you
as I had decided.

Don't think she said anything to me.

She's upset too.

The thought of leaving makes
me really sad too.

I don't know what to do.

-I think you should go, Aman.
-Really?

Totally.

I was wrong...

Staying would be crazy...

...not crazy, but...

...I didn't think this through.

When you took charge of the whole
scholarship process, I got on board.

But I should have told you
otherwise from the start.

Maybe in the future,
when you start high school.

Your room will still be here

when you visit or when
you come back.

But, Dad...

...you're going to be alone.

How will you manage?

I've always been alone...

...there's always a friend around.

Actually I'm going to start a
pretty intense job.

I'll be working all day.

And when you guys come
I'll actually have money!

What about the record store?

We'll see.

Maybe I'll close it

and keep
the records for myself.

I'll finish primary school and
then I'll come.

High school's not that good there.

OK.

I'll start the paperwork
when you are in 7th.

-We'll see how it goes, OK?
-OK.

OK. Go pack your bag.

-I'll order food. What do you want?
-Whatever you guys are having.

Dad...

...I'm leaving you the piano.
Take care of it.

It used to be mine
before being yours.

I do not want to make a blues

I do not want to see the light

I just want to be with you
every morning

and your awakening
to be better

in these tough times

the sun can still rise
among the clouds.

To live a passion

was not going to be easy

in an instant everything
turns different.

But there is no pain

that makes me forget

what we both did in so many years.

But no pain is strong enough

to make me forget

what we both did over so many years.

No, let's see...

But no pain is strong enough

to make me forget

what we both did over so many years.

THE GOOD INTENTIONS
