      Bruno: Baja ahora mismo que no quiero manchar la tapicería del coche.

      Nino: ¿Y si no me bajo?

      Bruno: Entonces tendré que manchar la tapicería del coche.

      Vecino indignado: ¡Que pasa ahi! ¿Es que se ha vuelto loco? ¡Voy a llamar a la policía!

      Bruno: ¡Eh! ¡No me pise el césped o disparo! ¡Esta es nuestra casa y hacemos lo que nos da la gana!

      Vecino indignado: ¡Cuidado! No hable con él señora que es peligroso.

      Bruno: ¡Eso! ¡No hable conmigo! ¡No me dirijan la palabra que me acaban de taladrar un pie y estoy muy nervioso!

      Vecina desdentada: ¡Son unos cerdos degenerados! ¡Como todos los que salen por la televisión!

      Bruno: ¡Cállese señora! ¡Y póngase los dientes que no se le entiende nada!

      Bruno: Sal de ahí.

      Nino: ¿Me vas a matar adelante de toda esta gente?

      Bruno: ¿Que pasa, que te da verguenza?

      Nino: No, me la suda, estoy haciendo tiempo, porque a las siete esto va a estar plagado de policías, van a ver lo loco que estás y te van a meter en la cárcel ¡Así volveremos a estar juntos!

    A Delight!
    I just saw this film at the Fantasia festival here in Montreal. The festival mostly shows action/kung-fu movies, but this is definitely not in that category. This film makes you want to get up and scream...but what would you say?

    I don't know how this film got made, as I don't know much about the Spanish film industry, but I'm suddenly really intrigued. This film delivers!

    The acting, directing, music and costumes are all great, but the writing is off the charts. I want to see more films like this. It made me laugh so hard and made take a serious look at how I perceive celebrities-I was in good hands during this film.

    DON'T MISS IT
