You know how I feel about him.
169
00:13:50,763 –> 00:13:53,966
I’m not doing anything!
170
00:13:53,966 –> 00:13:56,769
[ Horn Honking ]
God. That’ll be Menchu.
171
00:13:56,769 –> 00:13:59,567
We’re going out
to see the owner.
172
00:14:08,013 –> 00:14:10,413
Don’t be cross. Bye.
173
00:14:15,254 –> 00:14:19,658
[ Menchu ] Did you and Alvaro
exchange bodily fluids?
[ Julia ] Yeah, in a way.
174
00:14:19,658 –> 00:14:23,262
You did?
He tried to kiss me.
I sneezed in his face.
175
00:14:23,262 –> 00:14:27,333
Very good, Julia.
I must try that one
sometime.
176
00:14:27,333 –> 00:14:32,168
I’m not like you, Menchu.
I can’t just jump into bed
with someone for the fun of it.
177
00:14:32,571 –> 00:14:36,208
You’re wound up
tight as a drum, darling.
