Episode 28
(Juan entra,pregunta a Meche por la Senora. Ella responde que 'esta comiendo'. Juan se dirige al comedor, sabe muy bien que puede ya estar en la jaula del perro.)
Monica: Empece porque no sabia si ibas a venir. Ya comiste?
Juan: No.
Monica: Quieres arroz?
Juan: No.
Juan: A donde fuiste hoy?
Monica: Fui a la iglesia y despues al mercado. Joaquin me acompano.
Juan: No quiero que vuelvas a salir con el.
Monica: Porque?
Juan: Porque no me dijiste que te lo recomendo Alberto de la Serna?
Monica: Lo iba a hacer! Pero tu me dijiste que hiciera lo que quisiera.
Juan: Pero tratandose de Alberto de la Serna, debiste habermelo dicho.
Monica: Y que vas a hacer? Vas a correrlo solo porque lo recomendo Alberto?
Juan: No lo voy a correr por lo pronto. Pero no quiero que salgas con el! Hazlo con Meche o con Serafin que para eso estan aqui!
Monica: Y de que tienes miedo?
Juan: Se me hace muy extrano que Alberto se lo haya recomendado a tu mama.. precisamente para meterlo en mi casa.
Monica: Como lo sabes?
Juan: Tu madre se lo dijo a Don Noel! ... Yo tengo enemigos, Monica .. Personas que pagarian cualquier cosa para perjudicarme.. Y tengo que ser muy cuidadoso con la gente que me rodea.
Monica: Porque dices eso? Que te pueden hacer?
Juan: Te doleria que me sucediera algo?.. o te sentirias Liberada??..
Monica: Basta, Juan!! Estoy cansada de tus dudas, detus sospechas y de tus insultos!!.. Yo no meti ese retrato en la maleta! Fue Aimee!! La sirvienta de mi madre me lo dijo. Y si no me crees no me importa!! .. Tu no tienes nada que reprocharme, mientras que Tu !!...
Juan: Lo dices por lo que te dijeron en la cantina? .. Monica... Monica!..

(en la recamara despues de comerciales.. Monica esta furiosa mirandose al espejo, el entra a la recamara en silencio, se acerca al poste de la cama, desde donde intenta tocar el brazo de ella )
Juan: Perdon.... Te pido perdon.. por mis dudas! .. ..por todo lo que te he dicho.. ..lo que pasa es que .. he sido muy herido por tu hermana..
Monica: Yo no tengo la culpa!!
Juan: De acuerdo! No tienes la culpa. Pero cuando te conoci... estabas enamorada de otro... dispuesta a cualquier cosa por el.
Monica: Pero ya no!! Te lo he dicho una y mil veces. Te lo he demostrado! Me he entregado a ti con amor!, con carino! .. confiada!.. creyendo en tu bondad! .. en tu honradez! .. ilusionandome de ser importante para ti!..
Juan: Que lo eres, Monica!.. Eres lo mas importante en mi vida! .. lo mas hermoso que me ha sucedido!..
Monica: Entonces porque te portas asi??!!.
Juan: .. Tengo celos!.
Monica: Yo tambien tengo celos!
Juan: De veras??
Monica: Por supuesto!. De que crees que estoy hecha? De piedra??
! Y no me importa si todo el mundo dice que asi son los hombres y que nosotras tenemos que resignarnos..!!!
Juan: Monica, yo te juro que entre esa muchacha y yo no paso nada!..
Monica: Pero me dijeron!!..
Juan: Te dijeron!.. Te dijeron mal!! ..Admito que.. Admito que esa era mi intencion. Para desquitarme... de alguna manera. .. Pero no pude! Como voy a estar con otra.. cuando tu eres la unica que me tiene loco?? Monica, creeme!...
Monica: Te creo... Volveras a dudar de mi?
Juan: .. No!..
Monica: De veras, Juan?? Yo te amo! Nunca pense que se pudiera sentir por alguien lo que yo siento por ti.
Juan: Monica! .. yo no se que me hiciste. Me dejaria matar por ti..
Monica: Yo tambien.

(Juan comes in and asks Meche about Monica. She replies that "she is having lunch". He goes into the dining room.)
Monica: I started (eating) because I didn't know whether you were coming or not. Have you eaten?
Juan: No.
Monica: Would you like some rice?
Juan: No.................. Where did you go today?
Monica: I went to church and then to the market. Joaquin went with me.
Juan: I don't want you to go out with him again.
Monica: Why?
Juan: Why didn't you tell me that he was recommended by Alberto de la Serna?
Monica: I was going to! But you told me to do as I wish!
Juan: but since it has to do with Alberto de la Serna, you should have told me.
Monica: And what are you going to do? Are you going to fire him just because Alberto recommended him?
Juan: I'm not going to fire him for the time being. But I don't want you to go out with him again! Do it with Meche or Serafin who are here for that purpose!
Monica: And what are you afraid of?
Juan: It strikes me as very odd that Alberto recommended him to your mother, precisely so as to put him in my house.
Monica: How do you know that?
Juan: Your mother told Don Noel! ... I have enemies, Monica.. People who would pay any price to harm me .. And I have to be very careful about the people who surround me.
Monica: Why do you say that? What can they do to you?
Juan: Would it hurt you if something happened to me…….. or would you feel liberated?
Monica: Enough, Juan!! I'm tired of your doubts, your suspicions and your insults! I didn't put that photograph in the suitcase! It was Aimee!! My mother's maid told me. And if you don't believe me, I don't care! .. You have nothing to accuse me of, whereas you!!...
Juan: You say that because of what they told you in the tavern? .. Monica... .. Monica!..

(in the bedroom)
Juan: Forgive me.. I ask you to forgive me for my doubts! ....For everything I've told you.. the thing is that.. I was really hurt by your sister ..
Monica: That's not my fault!
Juan: I agree! It's not your fault. But when I met you…you were in love with somebody else…willing to do anything for him.
Monica: But not anymore! I've told you a million times. I've shown it to you! I gave myself to you with love! Caring for you! Trusting you! Believing in your goodness! Your honesty! Building up my hopes that I was important to you!..
Juan: You are, Monica!.. You are the most important thing in my life! .. the most beautiful thing that has happened to me!..
Monica: Then why do you behave like this?
Juan: .... I'm jealous!.
Monica: I'm jealous too!
Juan: Really?
Monica: Of course!. What do you think I'm made of? Stone? And I don't care if everybody says that that's the way men are and that we, women, have to accept that..!
Juan: Monica, I swear that nothing happened between me and that girl!..
Monica: But they told me…
Juan: They …They misinformed you!..I admit that …I admit that that was my intention…so as to get even somehow… But I couldn't! How can I be with someone else… when you are the only one I'm mad about? Monica, believe me!...
Monica: I believe you... Will you doubt me again?
Juan: No!..
Monica: Really, Juan? I love you! I never thought I could feel for someone what I feel for you.
Juan: Monica! .. I don't know what you've done to me. I would die for you..
Monica: Me too.
