SCENE 6
ESTEBAN´S HOUSE
ESTEBAN
In the last 25 years one of every 11 Colombians have been displaced by violence, more than five million Colombians, as if all the citizens of Cali and Medellin had to flee altogether without looking back, we have a historic commitment to the displaces, we have to fight criminal forces who with the money of drug trafficking have armed themselves in order to remove people from their own land, Are you ok? What´s the matter Alberto?
ALBERTO
No, no, no, no I keep thinking that it´s too much emphasis on the issue of drugs Esteban
ESTEBAN
The necessary emphasis
ALBERTO
Whatever, I am so sorry to interrupt your speech but there is something we need to talk about… if we want to make it all the way to Congress we need money, period
ESTEBAN
Ok, I agree but let´s set some ground rules, we do not choose money in exchange for independence, we are not going to play the traditional politician´s game
ALBERTO
Esteban you decided to lead an independent political campaign, without the support of any of the traditional parties, ok, you have gain popularity because the media loves you but do you really think that someone is going to give you money without asking for something in exchange? When there is not even a survey to measure your voter´s intentions, I am so sorry to be a carrier of bad news but someone in this campaign has to have their feet well-grounded on earth brother

FANNY
Why don´t you tell me better what´s all the story behind that little guy
CHONTADURO
¡Ha, ha, ha! With what little guy? ¿With Mr. Homero?
FANNY
Well that little guy, which other one?
CHONTADURO
Honey there where you see that little guy, he is serious business
FANNY
Oh really? ¿How much?
CHONTADURO
I can just tell you that he is the one that rules here in Mexico, but I don´t think that Mr. Homero is that stupid to say no to the proposition that I made him
FANNY
Oh really? You seem really sure? Don´t you?
CHONTADURO
¡Ha, ha, ha! You mesmerize me
FANNY
So then you are going to be very congratulated over there by the boss?
CHONTADURO

FANNY

FANNY
