F: Oh my God. Live with Aurora, a-as if… as if you were…
C: As if we were a couple, yes. And don’t tell me I’m sick, because I’m not. I’m just in love.
F: Celia, but you said you were cured, that the therapy had worked!
C: I said that so the therapy would stop. It was inhuman, Francisca. A supposed therapy with electric shocks.
F: Well, he said the treatment was a bit aggressive, but…
C: See how you don’t get it?
F: Celia, please, I love you and I want to help you. Look, you and Aurora are friends and you’re confusing feelings. What happens is that…
C: Do you confuse your feelings for Gabriel?
F: W-Well, it’s not the same.
C: It is. But I already knew you wouldn’t understand.
F: Celia, I worry about you, please. When you share a house in Arganzuela, what if someone discovers your relationship?
C: We’ll be two friends who live together.
F: If someone reports you, you’ll go to jail!
C: Calm down, Francisca, we’re already used to not showing affection in public.
F: Celia, please, reconsider it for a moment. It’s madness!
C: Well, bless this madness, because it makes me happy. Francisca, weren’t you able to risk everything for Gabriel, even knowing the consequences?
F: No, stop comparing it, because it’s not the same.
C: Yes, it is. We both love people who are forbidden to us. It’s just that, in my case, it’s a woman.
F: And do you think that’s such a small difference?
C: I can’t believe it. All this worry, all these objections, they’re simply to hide your rejection of what I am, of what I feel!
F: No, Celia, that’s not true.
C: Yes, it is. Or would you treat Aurora as my partner, as I do with Luis or with Germán? That’s what I thought.
F: Celia, please, let’s talk…
C: Until you accept what I am we have nothing to talk about.
