Esteban : "Music for Chameleons". How did you know I wanted it?
Manuela : I know you like Capote.
Esteban : Read me something, like when I was little.
Manuela : "Preface. I started writing when I was eight."
Esteban : See? I'm not the only one.
Manuela : "I didn't know that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip - and the whip is intended only for self-flagellation." That's enough to put you off writing.
Esteban : Don't be lame. It's a wonderful preface.
