| Mónica: Me dijo Meche lo que le paso a Azucena
y vine a visitarla. Juan: Tiene mucha fiebre... Mónica: Trajimos algunos remedios... Juan: Muchas gracias.. Mónica: (a Meche) Ve a la cocina a preparar eso, por favor, Meche. Meche: Si, Señora. Con permiso. Mónica: Y tambien me gustaria saber que hay de cierto en eso que nos dijiste a mi mama y a mi ... sobre la carta de mi tio Francisco. Juan: Piensas al igual que tu madre? que soy un mentiroso? Mónica: Mi prima Dolores me platico de una carta que Andres le quito a Bautista. Juan: No se la quito a Bautista.. Sino a mi.. Me amenazo con una pistola. Mónica: Entonces la tiene el? Juan: No. Solamente se llevo el sobre vacio. Mónica: Y donde esta la carta? Lo sabes? Juan: La tiene Fray Domingo. ... Y ahora quiero preguntarte algo... (moves closer to her) Vas a volver conmigo si o no?? (Commercial) Juan: Porque no contestas? Mónica: Es que no es facil responder... Si con esa carta recuperas tu apellido, supongo que todo volvera a ser como antes... es decir que... que seguiremos siendo esposos. Juan: Asi es. Mónica: Yo ya me habia hecho el proposito de no volver contigo. Juan: Tan dificil te es perdonar? Mónica: No se trata solo de eso, sino de muchas otras cosas. Juan: Porque no me las dices? Mónica: No entenderias. Juan: Porque? Mónica: Porque son problemas mios... a los que tu seguramente no les darias importancia. Juan: Todo lo tuyo para mi es importante. Mónica: Entonces, respeta mi voluntad, y no trates de inponerme algo que no deseo. Juan: No quiero imponerte nada, sino convencerte. Mónica: Digamos que no quiero ser convencida. Juan: Porque tanta necedad? (looking away, clearly dissappointed) Mónica: La necedad es la tuya!. Segun tus mismas palabras me echaste de tu lado para evitarme sufrimientos. Dijiste que no querias compartir conmigo tus problemas. Porque ahora insistes en que vuelva? Que ha cambiado? Juan: Ya no tengo cuentas pendientes con la justicia. Mónica: Y tus rencillas con Andres? Acaso ya terminaron? Juan: No. Mónica: Entonces? Juan: Te necesito. No puedo vivir sin ti. Mónica: Antes, cuando le compraste la casa a mi madre si pudiste. Juan: Monica, por favor (he squeezes her arm, she shreaks with pain and he instantly backs up looking away...) Juan: Perdon... Se perfectamente que si Bautista te lastimo fue por causa mia. Tal vez ese sea tu miedo pero te prometo... Mónica: Ay, no creo en tus promesas!... Juan: Ya se que antes no cumpli... Mónica: Ay, por favor! No te estoy culpando. Es algo superior a tu voluntad y a tus fuerzas. Tu y yo no podemos volver. Yo no deseo tu desgracia ni la mia, ni tampoco la de Andres. Juan: Andres va a tener que resignarse, le guste o no. Mónica: No lo va a hacer y lo sabes perfectamente. No quiero cargar en la conciencia la ruina de ustedes. Juan: Tu no tienes nada que ver... Mónica: Pero ustedes me estan tomando como excusa. Juan: Yo no! Mónica: Esta bien. Tu no, pero el si. Juan: Y tenemos que renunciar a ser felices ... solo porque a Andres no le parece? Yo no estoy dispuesto a complacerlo... Mónica: Pero yo si. Juan: Prefieres condescender con el que conmigo? Soy tu marido! Mónica: En este momento no eres mi esposo. Ni tampoco se trata de condescender con el ni con nadie. Es que yo no cuento? No tengo voluntad, deseos? Estoy harta de problemas y sosobras. Quiero vivir tranquila, no lo entiendes? Por eso vine... No solo para ver a Azucena... sino tambien para rogarte que si recuperas tu apellido no me obligues a volver contigo. Juan: No! Te puedo conceder lo que quieras, pero eso nunca! Y no por orgullo, o por fastidiar a Andres,...sino porque eres la mujer que mas he querido en mi vida. (gets closer...closer) Eres mia, Monica. Tu y yo estamos hechos el uno para el otro. Y ni cien Andreses me van a obligar a renunciar a ti. Mónica: Pero tal vez yo si... Si me obligas.. me vas a hacer muy desdichada. Juan: No es verdad. Por supuesto que va a haber problemas... pero los momentos felices.. van a compensar todo lo demas. (he grabs her by the waist, holds her close to him) Hace tanto tiempo ... estoy desesperado... (Monica at first stays still, but as he gets close to her mouth, she brings her hand up to his hair and...) Long Kiss!! The type of kiss you loose your breath in...) Juan: Quedate aqui.. no te vayas. Mónica: No quiero (he touches her face and lips) Juan: Si quieres... (you bet!...) Mónica: No me hagas esto. Eres cruel. (Meche comes in, they both look at her like they're coming back from a la-la land) Meche: Ya prepare todo, Señora. Mónica: Que bueno. Juan: Puse a Azucena en tu cuarto, en el que era tu cuarto (she kind of smiles) ... porque esta mas fresco. Mónica: Vamos. (Monica heads for the bedroom, leaves Juan there, he still has his arm stretched out to her...) |
Mónica: Meche told me what happened to Azucena
and I 've come to visit her. Juan: She has a high fever... Mónica: We've brought some remedies... Juan: Thank you. Mónica: (to Meche) Please, go to the kitchen and prepare it Meche. Meche: Yes, Señora. With your permission. Mónica: And I would also like to know if there's any truth in what you told my mother and me... about the letter of my uncle Francisco. Juan: Do you believe the same as your mother? That I'm a liar? Mónica: My cousin Dolores told mew about a letter that Andres took from Bautista. Juan: He didn't take it from Bautista but from me. He threatened me with a gun. Mónica: Has he got it then? Juan: No. He just took the empty envelope. Mónica: And where's the letter? Do you know? Juan: Fray Domingo has it. ... Now I want to ask you something... (moves closer to her) Will you come back to me? Yes or No? (Commercial) Juan: Why don't you answer? Mónica: It's not easy to answer... If you get your name back with that letter, I suppose that everything will go back to the way it was before, I mean.. we will go on being husband and wife. Juan: that's true. Mónica: I had already made my mind up not to come back to you. Juan: Is it so difficult for you to forgive? Mónica: It doesn't have to do only with that but with many other things. Juan: Why don't you tell me about them? Mónica: You wouldn't understand. Juan: Why? Mónica: Because they're my problems ... that you certainly wouldn't consider important. Juan: Everything that has to do with you is important to me. Mónica: Then respect mywish and don't try to force on me something that I don't desire. Juan: i don't want to force anything on you but to convince you. Mónica: We've already said that I don't want to be convinced. Juan: Why all this stubborness? (looking away, clearly dissappointed) Mónica: You are the stubborn one!. According to your own words you took me out of your life to save me from suffering. you said you didn't want to your problems with me. Now why do you insist that I come back? What has changed? Juan: I no longer have any unresolved legal problems. Mónica: And your quarrels with? Have they come to an end by any chance? Juan: No. Mónica: Then what? Juan: I need you. I can't live without you. Mónica: Before, when you bought the house from my mother you could. Juan: Monica, please (he squeezes her arm, she shreaks with pain and he instantly backs up looking away...) Juan: I'm sorry... I know very well that it was my fault that Bautista wounded you. perhaps that's what you fear but I promise you........ Mónica: Ay, I don't believe your promises!... Juan: I know I didn't keep them in the past... Mónica: Please! I'm not blaming you. It's something beyond your will and your powers. You and I can't be together again. I don't desire your misery not mine not Andres's. Juan: Andres will have to resign himself whether he likes it or not. Mónica: He won't do that and you know it very well. I don't want to have the downfall of both of you on my head. Juan: You have nothing to do with that... Mónica: But you two are using me as an excuse. Juan: I'm not! Mónica: Fine. You're not but he is. Juan: And we have to give up on being happy..just because Andres doesn't like the idea? I'm not willing to give him that pleasure... Mónica: But I am. Juan: Do you prefer condescending with him than with me? I'm your husband! Mónica: At the moment you're not my husband. And it has nothing to do with condescending with him or anyone else either. Don't I matter? Don't I have a will, wishes? I'm tired of problems and worries. I want to lead a peaceful life, don't you understand? That's why I came... Not only to see Azucena... but also to beg you that if you take your surname back, you won't force me to come back. Juan: No! I can grant you whatever you wish, but this never! And not because of my pride, or because I want to annoy Andres... but because you're the woman I've loved most in my life. (gets closer...closer) You are mine, Monica. You and I are made for each other. And not even a hundred Andreses will make me give you up. Mónica: But me, maybe. If you force me, you will make me terribly miserable. Juan: That's not true. Of course there will be problems... but the happy moments will make up for everything else... (he grabs her by the waist, holds her close to him) It's been so long....I'm desperate... (Monica at first stays still, but as he gets close to her mouth, she brings her hand up to his hair and...) Long Kiss!! The type of kiss you loose your breath in...) Juan: Stay here .... Don't leave. |
