Daniela is massagging Sebastian's shoulders from behind...
S: Pienso salir de Bogota unos dias. Yo no quiero estar aqui ni en la finca ni en ningun sitio donde haya estado antes. Todo tendra que ser nuevo para mi.
DR: Y asi va a ser. Ya lo vera.
Seb: Daniela... (he turns around to face her, they are sitting on couch facing each other, faces are about a foot from each other, he begins to caress her hands, looking her directly in the eyes) Gracias por estar conmigo. Pero yo no quiero que este solo en estos momentos amargos. A mi me gustaria que me acompañaras, pues, ahora mas que nunca que estoy empezando una vida nueva. (caresses her face with his hands, she is not unresponsive but stays quiet) Vendrias conmigo?
DR: Sebastian... yo... no...
Seb: Daniela, por favor...
DR: Me esta proponiendo algo absurdo...
Seb: Es tan absurdo eso? (changing to seduction in his stare, slowly approaches her, gives her a quick kiss, then another... and it escalates into a series of wet kisses but as the kisses begin to get deeper the phone rings and they both startle ...)
DR: (with difficulty stands up and goes to answer the phone a few feet away... its Marcela asking for Sebastian... He looks like he is surprised at his own reaction to their kiss (as if something positive came from it), when he realizes it is Marcela he signals Daniela to tell her he will call her in the morning... Daniela does and hangs up)
Seb: (turns around and faces him again) QUe llamada tan inoportuna, no?
DR: Yo le adverti que llamara.
Seb: Bueno, ahora que saben que estoy a salvo, no volveran a molestarnos.
DR: Sebastian, yo... yo necesito tiempo, y Usted tambien. No me siento preparada para esto, me entiende?
Seb: Si,... claro que si. Y no te preocupes. Yo... se como esperar. Claro, siempre y cuando siga siendo mi amiga. Perdoname, yo me excedi pero... (smirking a boyish smile) es que paso algo... me entiendes? (she puts two and two together quickly, smiles at him)
DR: Claro que si...claro que lo entiendo.(grabbing his hand) Y me parece maravilloso.
Seb: (suddenly stands up) Bueno, yo creo que es mejor que yo me vaya.
DR: Pero porque?
Seb: No se. Creo que seria mejor.
DR: Pero a donde va a ir, Sebastian?
Seb: A cualquier sitio, menos a mi apartamento. Y no a la casa de la abuela tampoco. No te preocupes, yo te llamo mañana.
DR: No entiendo. Acaba de pasar algo muy importante para Usted! (RUN, SEBASTIAN, RUN!!) Tiene que.. asumir esta nueva posicion. Quedese aqui. Quiero que se quede aqui, no me gustaria que saliera ahora a la calle. A esta hora quien sabe que peligros hay alla. (Is Bogota really that unsafe/violent at night, even for a man?)
Seb: Estas segura que no habra ningun problema?
DR: Si. Usted esta seguro?
Seb: ... Si.
DR: Entonces no va a pasar nada...
(Daniela leaves the room for a moment to go get him a pillow/sheets... she returns quickly and wishes him goodnight, leaves again... Seb lays on couch, feeling bad/awkward about what just happened, nodding a no in what seems like regret and whispering 'Gaviota'. We see Gaviota at her living room drinking all night, apparently concerned about him)
