Te vi y pensé...


Asomaba a sus ojos una lágrima
y a mi labio una frase de perdón;
habló el orgullo y se enjugó su llanto,
y la frase en mis labios expiró.
Yo voy por un camino; ella, por otro;
pero, al pensar en nuestro mutuo amor,
yo digo aún: —¿Por qué callé aquel día?
Y ella dirá: —¿Por qué no lloré yo?

Todavía

Porque la mayoría de las veces no logro expresarme como quisiera...
Porque busco las palabras exactas y no las encuentro. Otro guión que me identifica.
movie: Notting Hill

ANNA
Hi.

WILLIAM
Hello.

ANNA
You disappeared.

WILLIAM
Yes -- I'm sorry -- I had to leave... I didn't want to disturb you.

ANNA
Well... how have you been?

WILLIAM

Fine. Everything much the same. When they change the law Spike and I will marry immediately. Whereas you... I've watched in wonder. Awards, glory ...

ANNA
Oh no. It's all nonsense, believe me. I had no idea how much nonsense it all was -- but nonsense it all is... (she's nervous) Well, yesterday was our last day filming and so I'm just off -- but I brought you this from home, and...
It's quite a big wrapped parcel, flat -- 3 foot by 4 foot, leaning against a bookshelf.

ANNA
I thought I'd give it to you.

WILLIAM
Thank you. Shall I...

ANNA
No, don't open it yet -- I'll be embarrassed.

WILLIAM

Okay -- well, thank you. I don't know what it's for. But thank you anyway.

ANNA
I actually had it in my apartment in New York and just thought you'd... but, when it came to it, I didn't know how to call you... having behaved so... badly, twice. So it's been just sitting in the hotel. But then... you came, so I figured... the thing is... the thing is ...

WILLIAM
What's the thing?

Then the door pings. In walks the annoying customer, Mr. Smith.

WILLIAM
Don't even think about it. Go away immediately.

Mr. Smith is taken aback and therefore completely obedient.

MR. SMITH
Right. Sorry.

And he leaves.

WILLIAM

You were saying...

ANNA
Yes. The thing is... I have to go away today but I wondered, if I didn't, whether you might let me see you a bit... or, a lot maybe... see if you could... like me again.

Pause as William takes this in.

WILLIAM
But yesterday... that actor asked you who I was... and you just dismissed me out of hand... I heard -- you had a microphone... I had headphones.

ANNA
You expect me to tell the truth about my life to the most indiscreet man in England?

Martin edges up.

MARTIN
Excuse me -- it's your mother on the phone.

WILLIAM
Can you tell me I'll ring her back.

MARTIN
I actually tried that tack -- but she said you said that before and it's been twenty-four hours, and her foot that was purple is now a sort of blackish color...

WILLIAM
Okay -- perfect timing as ever -- hold the fort for a second will you, Martin?

Martin is left with Anna.

MARTIN
Can I just say, I thought 'Ghost' was a wonderful film.

ANNA
Is that right?

MARTIN

Yes... I've always wondered what Patrick Swayze is like in real life.

ANNA
I can't say I know Patrick all that well.

MARTIN
Oh dear. He wasn't friendly during the filming?

ANNA
Well, no -- I'm sure he was friendly -- to Demi Moore -- who acted with him in 'Ghost.'

She's kind in here, not sarcastic.

MARTIN
Oh right. Right. Sorry. Always been a bit of an ass.

William returns a little uneasy.

MARTIN
Anyway... it's lovely to meet you. I'm a great fan of yours. And Demi's, of course.

Martin leaves them.

WILLIAM
Sorry about that.

ANNA
That's fine. There's always a pause when the jury goes out to consider its verdict.

She's awaiting an answer.

WILLIAM
Anna. Look -- I'm a fairly level- headed bloke. Not often in and out of love. But...

He can't really express what he feels.

WILLIAM
... can I just say 'no' to your kind request and leave it at that?

ANNA
... Yes, that's fine. Of course. I... you know... of course... I'll just... be getting along then... nice to see you.

WILLIAM
The truth is...

He feels he must explain.

WILLIAM
... with you, I'm in real danger. It took like a perfect situation, apart from that foul temper of yours -- but my relatively inexperienced heart would, I fear, not recover if I was once again ... cast aside, which I would absolutely expect to be. There are too many pictures of you everywhere, too many films. You'd go and I'd be... well, buggered, basically.

ANNA

I see. (pause) That reality is a real 'no,' isn't it?

WILLIAM
I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are. My mother has trouble remembering my name.

ANNA
Okay. Fine. Fine. Good decision.

Pause.

ANNA
The fame thing isn't really real, you know. Don't forget -- I'm also just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her.

Pause. She kisses him on the cheek.

ANNA
Bye.

Then turns and leaves. Leaving him.


Todavía te pienso...

Proceso

Entonces se vino a mi mente la parte de un script...
Parece tan claro todo, sin embargo qué duro y difícil.
(movie : My Best Friend´s Wedding)
George Downes: Michael's chasing Kimmy?
Julianne Potter: Yes!
George Downes: You're chasing Michael?
Julianne Potter: YES!
George Downes: Who's chasing you... nobody, get it? There's your answer. It's Kimmy.
Quisiera que esto pase rápido!
