- Ramón: September 19th, 1997. Hello! First I ought to say a little about myself. I'm forty-two years old, I've lived a very normal life. My childhood and adolescence were uneventful. I was a brilliant student, and I grew up in a perfectly normal family. My father died five years ago, a year after my wedding. He had Alzheimer's, a nasty disease. My mother is still alive. I married a girl who was... normal. We separated after 19 months. I can't say exactly why we separated, but the truth is I can't say why we married either. I guess... never mind. Since then I've lived with my mother, I work at the university, and that's it. My life is such that it's hard to believe that I killed a woman this morning.
- Ramón: I want it clear that I will kill you. We can have a fairly long conversation, but know that at any moment, when you least expect it, I will kill you. Before I kill you, we will fuck. Or maybe after, I haven't decided yet.
