Put Down (2014)

PUT DOWN They say there is a job for everyone. Thank God, I finally found mine. Or rather, my job found me. Few months ago, I was completely in the mess. John, how are you, boy? Uncle Frank. How is your luck? Did you win? I went to your house the other day. I didn't know that you had a dog. Oh yes, my dog. I love dogs. What is the breed of dog? Brown race? I don't have a dog. But I do have debts. I bark at my door for many months. Embarrassing. He didn't look to be in very good health. Really? I find it well. It's a Schnauzer? One of my friends has a Schnauzer, female... Actually, I'd rather not talk about it. He was sick, I had to put it down... Really? I'm really sorry. You did that where? Was it expensive? This is the point, where there is no reasonable to continue lie. No, I did it myself. I wanted him to fall asleep in his favorite corner... ...so I did it myself. It was very fast, without pain. Really? So you just... It's not your race? I congratulated myself to have kept my lie... ...and did not think about it again... ...until one night, a week later. Did you just barked? Who are you? My name is Imelda. I am the neighbor of your Uncle Frank. He told me that you could help me. How? I want you to kill Reggie. Oh, I see you're in the middle of something... Maybe I can come back another time. Yes. You could have thought of it before disembarking here. The dog looks as surprised as I do... ...but unlike Reggie... I pulled myself together. Well, there you go. He didn't feel anything. I have a bag, if you... No, no. There was enough to restore the current. My grandmother used to say: "Everytime you closed a door, a window opens." So it's my job now. I am a professional petty's exterminator. I provide a service precious and human... ...for those who can not afford to go to the vet. I found a useful place in the society. The sad truth is that in these difficult times... some families don't arrive to feed all their mouths. I can help them. There is a time for every dog has had its day. Rex! A respectable and well paid job... ...is central to the personal esteem of a man. When you see a girl that you used to know and that you used to liked... ...you just don't run away. No, I'm not really a romantic type... ...but the owner of the boat owes me a favor. So here we are... ...we dine by candlelight, Homemade duck with orange. I have something for you. I think I have a girlfriend. Rebeca's place is smaller than mine... ...but she wants to show me something. Meet Daisy! She must like you. It may be a bit early... ...but I'm leaving for a few weeks... ...and I would like to be sure to see you again. Can you take care of Daisy? I see that word of mouth works. Of course, I'm good with cats. Thank you. I never thought that a woman would look at me like that. I feel like my life finally begins to make sense. I can't wait see her again. She is perfect. I just hope I'm not going to mess up. |
