-Let's dance. - Where have you been all this time, Juan Carlos? I know all the friends of Alberto except you. - It's my tactic. I am hiding. - In order to make an impression? - It's fantastic, isn't it?
- No doubt. I have never met anyone like you. - So it is my misfortune. All the women get fat because of me. - And you even haven't graduated yet. It will be worse in the future. - Of course. Then I will pollinate them using my scientific knowledge.

- We have an empty room in our house. - Which is in the yard? - Yes. - But it's full of different things. - We can throw it out. This room is very spacious and suits her well.
- She only needs a bed, a cradle and a sewing machine. - It's a good idea. She will sew here and carry out the orders of the clients. - In our district they are not fastidious.
- After all, she has sewed the dress for her senora and she was satisfied. I can give her my sewing machine. And we have the mattress already. Also, we have the cradle, but we can repair it.
- I will give her a chair, but we don't have any table. - I will tell her tomorrow, mama.
- Make a breakfast, Maria. - Yes, senora. - Answer the door, Maria! - Yes, senora.
- Sorry, Maria, but I have something to tell you. - What happened? - Mama has an idea. - Maestro, please, not now. - It is connected with your future job. We have an empty room in our house which only needs to be repaired. Mama will give you a sewing machine.
- She doesn't use it. And also... - But I haven't any money to pay you. - Maria, don't worry. - Who is there, Maria? - He came to me, senora. - Again? - I will go.
- No, maestro. Please tell me more. - We have the mattress and the cradle. We only need to find a table. - We also need a mirror for fitting the dresses. - Not all at once. You should see the room at first.

- I can't believe it. - You already have the room, the furniture and the sewing machine. - You know, you grant to me a new life. You are wonderful.
- What happened, Maria? Is it necessary that your friend come here all the time?
- Let me to explain you, senora. - I am talking to Maria. - She didn't know that I will come. - This senor is my maestro. - Of course. What do you teach? - He is a school teacher.
- Maria want to say that I am not her boyfriend, but her acquaintance. - It doesn't worry me at all. I only want a respect. - The servant is also a human, I should say.
- She has her own problems and her own worries as anyone else. - Yes, yes. She always has the same problems. - You are mistaken. I came here to help her. But it doesn't matter. I don't want to harm Maria.
- I am leaving. - I will come on tuesday to thank your mother. - Of course, Maria. - What an impudent person is your teacher, Maria. - No, senora. He is the kindest person in the world.
- I see. He will be the father of your second child, won't he?
