He ran Spain. Spain?

The country, he ran it.

It was his job. And then he died. Just as well.

Milk or lemon? She fell in love with Generalissimo Franco.

We don't know that for sure.

Who else could it have been?

It was around 1960. Do you want popcorn?

I can't believe this!

It's not like he was something normal, like a socialist or an anarchist.

It happened in Spain.

People do stupid things in foreign countries.

I didn't vote. What?

I know! Well, is there someone else?

Nothing has happened, but.

Is she a Republican? I can't help myself.

What about you? Is there someone else?

No, but. But there is the dream of someone else.
