My Uncle Jacinto (Mi tío Jacinto)

- Where does he live? - Jacinto? I believe in San roque, 17.

Thank you, madam. Bye.

Bye.

Where does he live now?

Unknown address.

Bye.

Enrique menéndez carmona!

Elecio onate!

Jacinto, matador of young bulls!

14th, 1st.

Good morning. A quart of milk!

1.75

I know. I'll bring the money tomorrow.

Then come back for the milk tomorrow.

Tell me... who is the milk for?

It's for me.

If it is for you, then drink it here.

And have some of this.

I like it more at home.

And to your uncle too. If he wasn't so lazy he would have enough money for breakfast.

I never feed drunks.

My uncle is not a drunk.

If he doesn't drink, rheumatism causes him pain.

Strange! And if he doesn't drink?

If he drinks it also hurts, but he is happier.

I'm also happier when I get paid.

Go for the money, then you can have it. It won't get sour for a few minutes' wait.

Yes, sir.

Hey! Do you want to make some money?

What do I have to do?

You have to be a bull!

We are arranging a bullfight!

How much do you pay?

More than anyone else. 20 cents.

- For the fight? - For the stabbing.

Do you have picadors?

Just banderilleros. Deal?

Ok.

We have a bull!

That's not a bull...

It's a small but very brave bull. You'll see how he charges!

Here, bull!

Bull!

Here, bull!

Olé!

Here, bull! Charge!

- What do you want? - The 20 cents.

Here.

Here, bull!

Olé!

Here, bull!

Olé!

Will you continue?

No, I have 40 more cents too many.

Now, I want to be the bullfighter.

- How much do you pay? - 20 cents, same as you did.

No.

- 30 cents. - No.

- How much? - One peseta.

I won't play! You pay 20 cents, and then...

Then what? Do you know what's the difference in price between a bull and a calf?

If you don't know, then ask that loser uncle of yours.

Hey, bull!

Here, bullock!

I must go, it's 9 o'clock.

Uncle...

Uncle jacinto!

Where did this come from?

It rained quite hard.

When?

After the 8 o'clock flight.

Why didn't you call me?

I was watching the river.

I bet you've made another dam!

I've told you many times that water can be very dangerous!

It's something you don't play with.

But you are stubborn as a mule.

Sometimes I wonder why do I care and worry so much about you

when I could have a much better life being by myself.

Didn't you think that I could have drowned?

Come on, let's go.

Bernaldas agency bullfighting shows to: Jacinto, matador of young bulls.

Dear sir, this is a reminder that, as per our signed agreement, you must perform on a night festival

that will take place in las ventas bullring next Saturday 17th at 11 pm. For this, you will be paid the sum of 1,500 pesetas. Yours sincerely...

Another letter regarding guardianship?

No, it's not them.

Who are they?

I don't know.

What do they want?

They want to make fun of me.

Are you the last one?

Yes.

Go ahead, lady. And you too. We are not in a hurry.

Tickets, please.

Tickets...

Today it will be good, because there were fightings yesterday.

There are those guys...

They are early today.

What's the matter?

Don't you see what's written there?

- No. - It's my name.

Ja - cin - to.

You see? My name appears in a comedy bullfight.

It could be someone else.

I am the only jacinto who is a bullfighter.

The letter was right.

Let's go.

May I use the telephone?

Sure.

Where is the phone book?

Anything else?

A coffee with milk.

Bernaldo agency?

I'm jacinto.

Could you please explain to me why have you sent me a letter telling

me I'm bullfighting tonight and why is my name in the posters?

I just saw one at the bullring.

Jacinto. Yes, jacinto, with a "j".

What?

I've never been in that office.

I am a retired bullfighter, but a serious one. I'm not a comedy bullfighter.

Yes, I'll wait.

Yes?

Narciso?

But "narciso" is not "jacinto". I am jacinto.

If you have made arrangements with narciso, then don't write my name.

Yes, sure, a mistake.

But your mistake is not my fault.

What?

I'm not screaming so you can hear me.

I'm screaming because this is abusive.

Ok

I'll call you back in one hour.

Here is the money.

What do those people think?

My name in a comedy bullfight!

What is a comedy bullfight?

It's something stupid.

It's doing silly things so that the public can laugh at one.

But is there a bull in the show?

Just a little one.

And some clowns, and a band, and

nonsense.

All what should never be in a bullfight.

Just for evening spectators.

Idiots!

Hi, will you let me ride?

No, but I'll let you push me.

I pushed you yesterday and you told me I could ride today.

I did not say "today". I said "tomorrow".

You lying fatso!

You fatso!

Pepote! Are you guys coming?

A genuine American Parker 51 fountain pen. I'll sell it cheap.

I'm selling it cheap, sir. A Parker fountain pen.

It's wet.

Hello?

Has Mr. Bernaldas arrived?

Yes, it's me. What can I do for you?

I already spoke with your secretary. I am jacinto.

Yes, they told me. It was a mistake...

And do you think that your explanation settles the matter?

That mistake is causing me grief!

I am willing to insert a correction notice in the media.

And, no further offense intended, I would even consider offering you the job.

Because I must admit I don't know how to find narciso before tonight.

Would you take my offer?

Yes, I do accept.

The terms of the agreement are in the letter.

If you want to see me, we can meet in a couple of hours.

We'll meet at the bullring.

Do you have a bullfighter"s costume?

Of course I do.

If you need something...

Thank you. So far I haven't' reach that point.

Please be punctual.

Don't worry.

Are you going to bullfight?

It looks like I will.

When there is a proper bullfighter, the bull's size does not matter.

Wouldn't it be better if your friend comes here to try it on?

He can't. That's why he asked me.

He is about my size.

Look at this one, it's a smaller size.

Be quiet, kid!

I think this is the right one.

How much does it cost?

The price tag is one the sleeve.

3,000 pesetas.

It is like new, but I will give it to you for 2,000.

This way, you can make 1,000 pesetas profit, or more.

I just want to rent it.

For how long?

Just for tonight.

- For a costume party? - No.

- For a movie? - No.

Please, don't be so secretive.

Prices vary depending on what you want it for.

It's for the bullring.

Then you will need the full attire.
