I also believe,
beyond our differences
Hello.
one of us will be president.
I hope it's a constructive exchange.
I have to see it, the debate.
I was planning to talk about it on air.
I can follow it on Twitter, right?
But I like watching it anyway.
Sometimes, on Twitter
you have to connect the pieces.
What should I do? Watch it?
I'll do a summary.
Did they say anything important?
I don't know. I'm not watching.
Okay.
Let's grab a quick bite, in an hour
we have to pick up the kids at my mom's.
I spoke to your mom.
They're sleeping over with her.
Great!
Great.
Let's go to the theater. There's this play
I've been meaning to see.
We need to talk.
About what?
About us.
I want us to split up.
We need to expand the economy,
not adjust it
I never spoke of adjusting it,
for we'll be a little bit better each day.

ON AIR
ALMOST HAPPY
9. "BACK TO PILAR"
We were celebrating my 20th birthday
with some friends,
at a random bar.
So, the thing is, I got drunk,
a little too drunk
and I have no freaking clue
how I got home,
much less how I got to bed.
I wake up the next day with no hangover,
perfectly fine, awake, energetic.
And I find myself in my apartment
with my entire family there
ready to celebrate my birthday.
My great-grandfather,
my grandfather, my dad, all in line,
waiting for me to wake up.
So, right then, each of them told me
how their world was when they were 20.
For instance, my great-grandpa told me
what it was like to be an immigrant,
since he came from Ireland on a boat.
My grandpa told me what it was like
to be a hippie in the sixties.
My dad, how it was to travel around
with only his backpack.
He was a backpacker for a few years.
I mean, I turned 20 traveling through time
with my entire family.
What a story. That's nice.
Sorry, how about when you turned 20, Seba?
If I may ask.
Well, I was living with my mom,
my dad and my brother,
before he left to live near the beach.
Life was quite predictable.
Contrary to what one may think,
where you have no control when you're 20,
in my case, everything was under control.
I knew what was going to happen
the next day, what I would eat, drink,
and what was going to happen
on the weekend.
But above all, what amazes me the most
is how fast it all happened.
I can't believe how time flies by.
I can't believe it.
So, that's what inspired me
to create A Journey Through Time.
Because that's why Marty is here,
ladies and gentlemen!
He came to present his exhibition
of the passing of time.
When I heard of you, I said,
"Let's bring this kid on the radio,
I want to meet him,
know what this is about.
I want to go to that exhibition."
Do you want to come
to the pre-opening tomorrow?
Great guest!
- Yeah, whatever. It was good.
- A young guest every once in a while.
- Even Felipe liked it.
- Really?
Right, Feli?
- What?
- The guest. What did you think?
It was good.
- See?
- Yes, I'm not going to the pre-opening.
You said you were. You can't miss it.
Yes, I can. One thing is being on air
and another is real life.
- What are you, a hypocrite?
- Yes, I am, obviously.
Am I doing everything I say I'll do
on air? No. It's impossible.
Why are you so bitter? Why won't you go?
No, I'm not bitter.
I don't care about the passing of time.
It's nonsense, it stresses me out.
- It throws me off
- Let's go, the three of us.
- No.
- The three of us! We never go out.
- Are you coming?
- Where?
- To the exhibit about the passing of time.
- I can't.
Okay, I'll go alone,
but don't come crying later
I don't talk like that.
If you speak like that again,
you'll see what happens.
Go on, do it.
You don't have the guts to talk like that.
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
Hello, everyone. Welcome
to A Journey Through Time.
Through the different exhibits,
you'll go through the past,
the future or whatever you want.
- Loving cars runs in my family.
- Right.
Hey, it's great!
I thought it would look like the one
in the movie, but it doesn't.
Though it does have this cool vibe,
kind of aerodynamic, right?
- Marty!
- Seba! How are you doing?
- Good.
- Sixteen hours,
forty-five minutes and thirty-two seconds
to go till the show.
Anyway, I'm so glad you're here.
This is the car.
The car that makes you travel in time.
First, you set the date
and where you want to go,
and you travel instantly. Who'll go first?
To travel through time
and new dimensions?
I've got a call. You go.
No, let's go together.
No, it's made for one. You go.
- Hi, Pili.
- Can you talk?
I'm at the pre-opening
of the passing of time, but tell me.
Yes, I heard the show.
The interview was nice.
Yes, it was great.
You've no idea how good the exhibition is.
Tomorrow is the opening.
I'm about to ride the time-traveling car.
Okay, talk to you later.
No, tell me. Is everything okay?
I wanted to tell you something.
About the kids?
About us.
Wait.
- I'll be right back.
- Who is it?
- Pilar.
- What does she want?
- Let's ride this thing.
- Hello, Pili.
Does it burn a lot of gas?
Wait.
Yes, tell me.
Sometimes it seems I don't value you
and I wanted to say I do.
I never said you didn't.
I know, you don't because you're good
or you don't want conflict.
But, I mean it, since we separated
you've made things so easy.
You're super present as a father
and have been thoughtful to me.
- I'll be thankful for that all my life.
- Pili, this call takes me by surprise.
And on the other hand, I feel like
you're saying goodbye to something,
but I don't know to what.
Don't be paranoid.
Saying things is good.
And I wanted you to know.
I love you.
I love you, too.
- Do you want me to come over?
- No.
No, I don't.
I want you to enjoy the exhibition.
- See you some other time, okay?
- See you.
It's spectacular.
I talked to Pilar.
It seems to me
she wants to get back together.
You always say that.
No. I've never said this.
She wants me back.
She said she loves me, that she needs me.
I don't know,
I should've gone home and I didn't.
I asked her, "Should I come over?"
And she said no.
Of course she wouldn't say yes.
I should've just gone.
I should be more determined.
Get in the car, come on. It's spectacular.
You really feel like
you're traveling through time.
- Where would you go?
- I don't know.
Where would you go?
I'd go when Che and Fidel
came down the Sierra Maestra.
Huh? Just kidding!
To when Diego scored
against the English. Huh?
- Okay!
- Okay, get in!
What for?
- Come on!
- For God's sake, Shade!
SCIOLI AND MACRI FACE EACH OTHER
AT UNPRECEDENTED DEBATE
SUNDAY 15.11.2015
Argentina's problem isn't the dollar.
Argentina's problem is the Kirchner
administration that hasn't stopped lying.
Hello.
I have to see it, the debate.
I was planning to talk about it on air.
I can follow it on Twitter, right?
But I like watching it anyway.
Sometimes, on Twitter
you have to connect the pieces.
Did they say anything important?
I don't know. I'm not watching.
Okay then.
- Hello.
- What's up?
A beer.
- Excuse me?
- A beer.
- A pint or a liter?
- Yes, it's fine.
No, pint or liter?
- Oh, a liter. A liter.
- Okay.
- Want some snacks?
- Sure.
What is he saying? It's madness!
Going back to the IMF?
Anything to win a vote.
Let's grab a quick bite, in an hour
we have to pick up the kids at my mom's.
I spoke to your mom.
They're sleeping over with her.
Great!
Let's go to the theater. There's this play
I've been meaning to see.
Don't get mad, but don't serve it for me.
I hate it when a waiter pours my drink.
You know?
It's not personal,
but it makes me feel useless
as if I don't know how,
or the waiter is my slave.
Besides, I never agree
with how much they pour.
I'd rather pour it myself.
Do I know you from somewhere?
No, that's impossible.
We need to talk.
About what?
About us.
I want us to
What a mess. I'll help you.
- Did you cut yourself?
- I'm fine, it's okay.
You are the radio guy.
Yes, it's me.
I always listen to you! You're great!
I can't believe you're here!
Me neither.
You are the best, the radio guy.
Sometimes we forget you go out
on the streets and have a life.
Sir, please. We're talking here.
Sorry.
We're not okay, Seba.
We have everything to be happy.
We make a good living,
the kids are fine.
We love each other.
- I don't know anymore.
- What don't you know?
I feel we're just used to each other.
Obviously.
Do we have
the picture-perfect family? Yes.
Good jobs? Yes.
But how does this resemble a relationship?
No, I mean, it's a mix.
I mean, we have
all the right conditions to be happy.
Exactly.
Everything is there
for us to be good and we're not.
- We're doing bad.
- We're perfectly good to me.
We're not on the same page.
This seems more like a corporation
than a couple.
We're always talking about logistics.
Where the kids are going,
who's paying the bills.
What we are doing on the weekend.
That's all part of a relationship.
Scheduling sex
is also part of the relationship?
- How's it going? Everything fine?
- Hello.
Okay. I have no battery.
That's a nice phone. It looks amazing!
Yes, thanks.
- Listen, do you have a charger?
- No, not one that modern.
Can I borrow your phone?
- Oh, I can't.
- Why?
Because if I lend it to you,
I have to lend it to the next guy, so
Just don't lend it to the next guy.
This stays between us,
if you let me borrow it.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- All right, great.
- Deal.
- How do I use it?
- Come, here.
- Oh, I go back there.
- Yes.
- Okay, thank you.
- Yes.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
to build, a lot of projects.
You can get that.
Hello?
I know you're tired,
bored of the same old things,
that everything tastes the same,
but that feeling comes and goes.
It will change. Sebastián is the only one
who's always there,
and that's what matters.
- Who is this?
- Don't break up with him.
I'm telling you, don't break up.
But.. who is this?
And if you do, treat him like a man,
not like a friend or family.
- Thank you very much.
- No problem.
- Great.
- Okay.
Excuse me, are you the radio guy?
- No, wait, this is too much money.
- What are you doing, jackass?
Hey, find another psychologist.
- What's with that guy?
- Look, a whale.
- So? How was it?
- Incredible.
- Fantastic.
- Amazing.
Do you mind taking a quick picture?
- Not at all.
- Come.
Do you have the camera? Okay. Let's do it.
Hey, thank you so much for the interview.
It'll be packed, we're sold out.
That's great. I'm so glad.
- You're welcome at the show any time.
- I appreciate it.
Seba, I'm talking to some girls.
Want to be my wingman?
How?
I don't know, you're famous. Come on.
- No, I don't want to.
- Come on.
Learn to take no for an answer!
Imagine, going back to '86 to the stadium
and telling the guy next to you,
"Look, the player with the curly hair
is about to score."
Good one, huh?
No, nothing turns me off more
than soccer and the fuss about World Cups.
- Well
- I love soccer.
I'd definitely love to go back to '86.
- Yes.
- He saw it live, right?
Live?
Yes, I don't think it's funny.
I was 12 and I saw it.
- Twelve?
- Yes, twelve.
- Wow!
- Let's go, Shade. I have to go.
No, just a little bit longer,
we're talking.
If you had to choose, future or past?
Future.
- You, Seba?
- Past.
Right, you're so nostalgic.
You should be less melancholic.
And you should stop
telling me what to do
and let me be whoever I want.
If you had to go back and kill someone,
who would you pick?
- I don't know. Kill someone?
- Yes.
Just one person?
Yes, what's up?
Nothing. I want to see you.
Now?
You can't?
I'm on my way!
How was the exhibition?
Great. You have no idea, awesome.
Much better than I expected.
Look at the cute flyer he made.
Hey, wow.
- You couldn't take the kids?
- No, I couldn't.
I don't understand why you never include
the twins in your plans.
- What do you mean?
- You never really include them.
Okay, but at this exhibition,
- they were going to get bored.
- How do you know?
I know.
It was about the passing of time.
They don't care,
they've no clue about the passing of time.
Well, maybe the show
would've been a great place
for them to become aware
of the passing of time.
You're right. I'm a bad dad.
- Childish, to say the least.
- Okay, fine.
- I didn't come to fight.
- It's not a fight.
I can't tell you anything.
- Hello.
- Hello, darling. How are you?
What are you doing here, Dad?
I brought Mom something.
- What thing?
- A thing.
It's very late, you have to sleep.
Will you tuck me in?
Sure, I'll tuck you in.
It's late.
- Do you feel I include you in my stuff?
- No.
- How so? We do a lot of things
- Not me or my sister.
Seba?
Seba.
I'm sorry, I told you to come
and didn't offer you anything to drink.
No.
I invited myself and wasn't thirsty.
- Okay.
- I came because
you sounded strange.
- Strange?
- Yes.
I don't know why you're saying that.
Out of the blue, you tell me you love me,
and that you always will.
How is that weird?
It is weird, very weird.
Since we got separated,
we never say stuff like that.
How do I begin? Today
Today, something happened and
I needed you.
And realized I love you.
That
That I always will.
And that you'll always be there.
I don't know, I just felt the need
to have you close and
And tell you
everything I said today, because
I know you'll always be there.
- Yes, you just mentioned it.
- Yes.
- I'll always be here.
- Yes.
I'm pregnant.
Mommy.
I had a bad dream.
Really?
- Why are you crying?
- I'm not.
There's something in my eye.
It's late.
- Do you want to give Daddy a kiss?
- Okay.
- Bye, Dad.
- Bye.
Come.
