CALCULATOR
Have you tasted the food?
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
I had a bit of caviar last night.
The astronaut looks at the chronometer.
ASTRONAUT
Excuse me.
He leaves the room.
The president of Salvacion sits at the table as the calculator finishes with the food and wipes his face with a screw driver.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
We, the men of state, should rest from government pressure and have a good time in Homer’s yacht.
CALCULATOR
It’s what we call a good business.
The president of Salvacion looks at Chucho.

PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
Would you bring me something to drink?
CALCULATOR
What about a dry wine?
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
It’s a good idea.
Chucho leaves the scene.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
Is the great Mele a guest of Homer?
CALCULATOR
I arrived here last night.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
I also arrived last night but I’m here as an incognito. I love humility.
The conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a man with a red cape, chased by another one holding a tripod with the head of a bull. As the one with the cape waves it, the bull head attacks him and he runs away.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
Isn’t that the great matador Cagangosto? It’s incredible.
CALCULATOR
They’ve told me everything about him. He should operate his haemorrhoids as a
Houston technician has the same problem.

PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
He’s the greatest matador of all times. He’s a monster. He’s superb, splendid,
immortal, wonderful, sublime.
As Chucho arrives with the bottle of wine, the calculator pours it in a glass.
CALCULATOR
Mr. President, here is the wine.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
You must say Excellency.
CALCULATOR
I’m sorry, Excellency. The wine is here.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
If I had known Cagangosto was here, I’d have brought my wife.
CALCULATOR
Drink the wine, Excellency.
As the president brings the glass to his mouth, a ball crashes against him and his false teeth fly in the air.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
What the…
Before he finishes his sentence, the ball crashes on his head again and his glasses fall on the floor.
A small man wearing an expensive gown and with a crown on his head runs across the scene.
MELE
Hiya!
As the president of Salvacion crawls on the floor, Chucho finds the glasses under a table and gives them to him. The president wipes his glasses with a handkerchief.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
Who has done this to me?
He finds a machine gun under his shirt, with Dun- Dun bullets. As Mele throws the ball, it lands in the mouth of an ornamental shark.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
But…it’s the…the king.
He looks at the man with the ball, who gets ready to kick it again.
PRESIDENT OF SALVACION
