DUCK SEASON's restoration was made in 2014, from an inter-negative.

Scanning and color correction were possible thanks to the support of Oxido Estudio, in Mexico.

NIÑOS HEROES SUNDAY, 11:00 AM.

Juan Pablo, your mother said to call her.

Don't forget to pick up the laundry.

- 200 pesos should be enough.

- And the Cokes?

- I want my change back.

- Okay.

I wrote down your aunts' number for you.

Call me in the afternoon.

- Mario, can you check the pilot light's still on?

- Okay.

- Go check!

- Okay!

The coffeemaker... Mario!

- Did I turn off the coffeemaker?

- Yes.

DUCK SEASON What?

You didn't even say hello, you f****** a******.

Finger.

Finger.

Finger.

- Bin Laden!

- Dude, you got him last time.

- So?

- I'll take Bush.

Where are you?

Not it!

- It's your house, a******.

- So?

- You have to get the door.

- I don't give a s***.

Me neither.

Time out, man.

Who is it?

- It's me, your neighbor.

- What's up?

Can I borrow your oven?

Mine's broken.

No, my mom's not home.

What?

I'll only be fifteen minutes.

Okay, come in.

Lock the door.

If it's too much trouble, I can go.

Just give me fifteen minutes.

F***!

- I saw you.

F***!

- You're dead, man.

Come and get me, dude.

There you are.

Show your face, you f**.

Did the power go off?

That means I'll have to beat everything by hand and it's going to take me longer.

What?

Do you know what 63 degrees Celsius is in Fahrenheit?

Do you hear that?

What is it?

It's the faucet.

It's always dripping.

Are you hungry?

Why don't we order the pizza?

- A large with mushrooms.

- No, a******!

Salami.

Half mushroom, half salami.

And two big Cokes.

Nonoalco Tlatelolco housing estate.

Niños Heroes building.

Apartment 803.

And tell them to knock because the power's out.

Thanks.

Why bother timing them when you know they always make it?

- Who is it?

- Telepizza, your friendly pizza.

Hello, buddy.

A large, half salami and half mushroom, right?

- Yeah, and two Cokes, please.

- Two Cokes.

Here's one.

And another, buddy.

- Thanks.

- No, no, no... That'll be 190 pesos.

Nope, you were 11 seconds late.

No, I got here in exactly 30 minutes, buddy.

Our watch says you were late.

Mine says I wasn't, buddy.

So what do you want to do?

Go get your parents, kid.

First of all, my mom's not home.

And second, don't call me kid!

All right then.

What are you doing?

Sorry, but I'm not leaving until you pay me.

How about a bet?

Halo.

What's Halo?

It's a videogame.

The winner gets the pizza, and the money.

And the loser gets nothing.

Do you have soccer?

- Manchester.

- Okay, but what about the lineup?

- Four, three, three.

- No, five, three, two.

- All right.

- No, wait... C'mon!

- Five, three, two.

- We haven't played in a while.

- It doesn't matter.

- Come off it, man!

Okay, then pay him.

All right then.

Okay.

Level?

Amateur, Pro or World Class?

- World Class?

- Is there any other?

Can you set your watch for fifteen minutes?

Ready?

Let's do this.

And we're kicking off the first half!

- Goal!

- Goal!

I was distracted, I was distracted.

Goal!

One all.

He's going to shoot.

He shoots and... Goal!

Goal!

Goal!

Goal!

It looks like someone's getting free pizza.

No!

Watch out!

Goal!

I told you to organize your defense different.

You play then.

I'm not criticizing, I'm just making a suggestion.

Great goal.

Stretch, man.

And you're up.

And he makes a pass.

Gooo What the hell?

- It was a goal.

- It didn't go in.

It went in It was at exactly the right angle, man.

- But it doesn't count.

- It went in.

- It was a goal!

- But it doesn't count.

- It was going to hit the crossbar.

- No, it wasn't.

It was already in.

C'mon!

- It was already in.

- C'mon, man!

- I'm telling you, it was a goal.

- You're a couple of cheats.

Martita, can you tell Jorge I'm going to be a while longer?

I had a problem with a delivery.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

All right.

Bye.

It was a goal.

Don't you want to put it in here?

So it doesn't get cold.

Pay me.

That picture's really pretty, isn't it?

It's hideous.

It's a matter of taste.

It's a matter of who f**** who over.

His parents are fighting over who gets to keep it.

Who bought it?

They won it in a raffle, at a Christmas party.

His dad had both tickets, his and his mom's.

One of them won, but they never knew whose.

If his dad was decent, he'd let his mom have it.

If you had two raffle tickets, yours and your boyfriend's, let's say, for a car, and you win the car, but you're not sure which ticket won, are you saying you'd give it to your boyfriend?

Whose Christmas party was it?

His mom's.

So if it hadn't been for her, he'd never have been there.

Yes, but if his mom had gone on her own, there'd only have been one ticket and it might not have been the winning one.

What?

The alarm didn't go off.

What's your name?

Juan Pablo.

Okay, Pablo, you're helping me because this is your fault.

You have to exercise your memory too, you know.

But you're not going to remember something unless it actually matters to you, are you?

This is going to take forever.

No, it says here: 40 minute prep time.

C'mon.

Help me chop some strawberries.

Yes, sir.

I know.

I'm on my way.

That's enough.

You're f*****!

You have to sift it, or it'll have lumps.

Juan Pablo?

Like the Pope, John Paul?

They call me Moko, with a K. My name's Rita.

I met the Pope once.

I was only little.

I went with my mom and we saw him here, on Insurgentes.

It was like miracle.

He was driving by and suddenly his Popemobile stops... and he starts walking all holy and he keeps walking and walking in me and my mom's direction and he stares straight at me.

And then what?

Nothing.

If you don't wash it, it'll get infected.

How do you separate the whites?

It doesn't matter.

Just toss them in.

- How old are you?

- Fourteen.

I'm sixteen.

When's your birthday?

June 6th.

June 6th?

January, February, March, April, May, June... The sixth of the sixth... What year were you born?

Ninety.

Nineteen ninety?

Let's see... nine and nine, eighteen.

Oh, you're safe.

From what?

From being the Antichrist.

Six, six, six.

Sorry, it slipped out.

Sorry.

- Let me clean you... - No, it's all right.

Are you sure you don't want some water?

Can you set your watch for twenty minutes?

I quit.

Relax, it takes patience to get the whites stiff.

But my arm hurts.

You're doing good.

Keep going.

You're almost done.

What do you do?

- In life.

- I go to school.

That's it?

I listen to music and play videogames.

I sing in a band.

A rock band.

What's it called?

Something's Cooking.

Just kidding!

You bought it!

I don't have to pay for them, but there's a limit.

You should be more careful.

What are those?

False nails.

I found them in the bathroom.

- Cool, huh?

- They're gross.

They're not supposed to look nice.

Give me your arm.

Relax.

I am relaxed.

Ethologists study animal behavior.

I was going to be a vet, but... but Lucia said I should study ethology.

Who knows why.

Lucia was my girlfriend.

We broke up because she said that my great aunt was unbearable.

I live with my great aunt, Lucha Elena.

When I graduated I wanted to go back to San Juan, but my great aunt got sick and I had to stay.

I couldn't find a job here, but one day my uncle recommended me for a job at the dog pound.

We got to decide which ones lived and which ones didn't.

At first, I tried to save a lot of them, but they'd kill them all in the end anyway.

There was no room for them.

Six months later they began laying people off.

The pound manager said it was a luxury to decide which dogs got to live and which didn't.

They offered me a job killing the dogs.

One day, I noticed a dog with a spot between his eyes... and I touched it.

I quit.

They were looking for delivery men at the pizza parlor.

Enthusiastic young men, looking to get ahead.

Monday through Sunday from twelve to eight, Wednesday off.

I don't like delivering pizzas, but as my aunt Lucha Elena always says "Opportunities in life are like bullets in a shotgun."

And I've already fired all mine.

- What's this?

- That's my lucky coin.

Keep it.

Don't put it in the microwave, or it'll go all soggy.

Here, taste this.

Is it too hot?

It's disgusting.

Stop exaggerating!

You're right.

It's disgusting!

I bought a pair of parrots with yellow heads, the kind that talk, and two months later they had six or seven baby parrots.

And it occurred to me I could sell them.

But the room they were in was really cold, and they died.

Worst of all, the adults died too.

But right away I realized I was on to a good thing.

- And?

- I'm going to give it another shot!

With my Christmas bonus, I'm going to buy two more birds, but it'll be December, so I'll have to have saved up for a heater.

And once I have the birds and the heater... I'll have to wait two months for them to mate.

I hope the female wants to, but they usually do.

I should get six or seven in one go and then I'll have to wait another whole month for them to grow.

But once they're big enough, I can sell them for 2,000 or 2,500 each, depending on who buys them.

So, I have to save for two months for the heater.

Then I have to wait until December, for my Christmas bonus.

Then... July, August, September, October, November, December.

Another two months for them to mate, one month for them to grow.

And however long it takes to sell them.

And with the money I make, I can get my aunt Eugenia to come take care of Lucha Elena... and I can go back to San Juan.

What do you think?

In a year, I'm out of here.

We should have made brownies.

They're easier.

You can make them yourself.

What?

I already helped you bake the other cake.

Why don't you close your eyes?

Why don't you?

Okay, close them.

- What?

- It feels funny.

- What does?

- Your tongue.

That's the point.

- Let's try again.

- Close your eyes.

We were in the kitchen making the cake.

She was sitting next to me, beating eggs I think.

And I see her there alone, kind of bored, so I come up behind her and start rubbing her back and then stroking her hair... Like this.

Then she turns around and we look at each other for like 3 or 4 seconds and I kiss her for like 10 or 15 seconds.

And right before we finish kissing, we pull apart and I notice she has her eyes open and I ask her, "Why didn't you close your eyes?"

And she says, "Why didn't you close yours?"

But I had mine closed.

So she says, "Let's try again" And I say "But close your eyes this time."

So we kiss again, for like 10 or 15 seconds.

It was really cool and all, but all of a sudden she pushes me away and I ask, "Now what?"

And she says it feels funny and I ask, "What does?"

And she says, "Your tongue."

But that's the point, isn't it?

That's the thing about French kissing.

So she says, "Let's do it again, but this time I'll kiss you."

So I play it cool and I say "Okay" and I close my eyes and she's about to kiss me.

I can feel her getting close and she's like an inch away from my face And I don't know what happened, she pulls back and sucks my ear.

She stuck her tongue in it and wiggled it around.

And then what?

Nothing.

You like her.

How do you know?

You've got the hots for her?

How should I know?

Did it get like this?

Nope.

This is a comic, but kind of?

- I didn't look at it.

- But you felt it.

Yes.

You f****** like her then.

What's that?

This knocks them dead.

Just don't suck on my ear.

It's definitly easier to make brownies.

Are you wearing aftershave?

No.

Who are you thinking of?

What?

Are you sure?

Is it good?

Well, maybe just one slice.

Blonde or dark?

Blonde, right?

Why do men like blondes so much?

Like Lourdes Azcona from 302.

She isn't pretty, but because she's blonde, everyone's in love with her.

It's not that I'm prejudiced, but she's an airhead.

I doubt she's intelligent.

She probably doesn't care about being intelligent.

She probably doesn't even realize she's not intelligent.

Because you need to be intelligent to know if you're intelligent.

I feel sorry for you.

You're going to be bored to death once you realize she's not intelligent.

Or maybe you don't care if the girl you're with is interesting or not.

Maybe you're not intelligent either.

But sooner or later, you're going to want to be with someone intelligent... A palindrome.

1991 is a palindrome.

I was born in a palindrome.

Where's the sieve?

And don't think I'm going to dye my hair.

Those dyes cause cancer.

Did you know that?

But it's not just about being blonde.

Anyone can dye their hair.

No, you have to be blonde and sexy.

If you're just blonde, guys get disappointed.

That's why I always say it's not just about your hair color; it's about your attitude.

Aren't you going to tell me who you were thinking about?

My mom wants to take it to Morelia with her.

My dad wants it to stay here.

That's why they're fighting over it, because that picture has sentimental value.

It reminds them of the year you were born.

It was in the closet for thirteen years.

Set it for twenty minutes, Okay?

We were on the Techno Motion.

We were losing.

It was my turn and I jumped and span around and landed on both feet.

And he hugged me.

Who?

Flama.

Sometimes ducks feel the urge to migrate.

It's not that ducks that migrate are bad ducks.

It's just that it's in their nature to migrate.

They go looking for new waters or warmer weather.

What do I know?

They're ducks.

And are these fantasies recurring?

More or less.

In another one, for example, we're at the supermarket.

It's weird, because we're the only ones there.

And we're eating plums.

What?

Nothing.

What are you thinking?

That pizza was for both of us, jerk.

- Sorry.

- No.

I'll make you a sandwich.

- Do you have Cheez Whiz?

- Sure.

What's up?

F***, look at this mess.

It's not my fault.

- You were with her, a******.

- And you let her in, a******.

Get out.

- My cake's not done yet.

- I don't give a s***.

The problem is your oven's in Fahrenheit and none of the recipes are in Fahrenheit, which makes it harder.

It's almost done, right?

How long to go?

- Five minutes.

- Only five minutes more.

Hold on!

Your cake's done.

Get out!

- Today's my birthday.

- Congratulations.

No one at home remembered.

Happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me... I hate to brag, but... it's delicious.

Weed... Was that what was in the jar?

Did you put marijuana in it?

It sounds awesome.

Dry mouth?

Taste it!

Taste it!

Thirty eight!

Thirty nine!

Forty!

Where did you get it?

It was my mom's.

Your mom smokes weed?

Only on weekends.

There's four of us.

Like The Beatles.

The Beatles were all men.

John Lennon was a woman.

Make a wish.

What?

First you make a wish, then you think of a color and take a bite.

If it's the color you thought of, your wish comes true.

Look.

Red.

Blue.

Try again.

Green.

Yellow.

65 Freskas and I didn't guess the color of a single one.

Here we are in Acapulco.

Here we are in Veracruz.

You sure were pretty.

That's my cousin Julian.

Here we are in Cuernavaca.

What?

What?

Neither of your parents has red hair.

Do any of your relatives have red hair?

A grandfather?

An uncle?

F*** off, you're not adopted.

Neither of my parents has red hair.

Relax.

Look.

Who's this?

My mom, when she was younger.

Do you have one of your dad?

You look the same, but hair... Hair color changes with age.

No, redheads are always redheads.

Oh, s***... Who's that holding you?

I think it's a waiter in Acapulco.

He has red hair.

Maybe your parents went to Acapulco and met this poor man... who couldn't look after you, and gave you up for adoption.

- What?

- Come here.

Do you see what I see?

F*** off!

Are they moving?

Are they moving?

Do you know why ducks fly in a V?

The first one takes flight and make way for the second one.

The second one cuts the air for the third one.

The fourth is carried along by the energy of the third, then the fifth... and the sixth, and so on.

They fly as one, with the force of shared flight.

Together, rising, navigating the skies.

And when the duck at the front gets tired, it goes to the back of the flock... and another one takes its place.

They take turns, up front, behind... And when a duck gets exhausted, two ducks leave the flock and fly with it until it recovers or falls.

I have to find my real parents.

I can't live without knowing who they are.

Why don't we go to Acapulco?

Are you coming?

I can't move.

Okay, smile.

Look angry.

Smile.

You're identical.

F****** hell!

Why are you pissed?

I told you, you're not adopted.

Exactly.

So who are you going with?

You see that bowl?

The other day, they spent two hours arguing about who gets it.

The next day, if it's not the bowl, it's the damn dining room table or the dinner service.

Any f****** excuse to fight.

Let's help them decide who gets the damn Chinese vase.

Ten points.

It's a souvenir from their honeymoon.

Go!

Yeah!

What?

Nothing.

You haven't asked me about the cake girl.

What about the cake girl?

- I gave her a big kiss.

- French?

Did you like it?

I liked the ear thing better.

- Why?

- I don't know.

Close your eyes.

- So I can suck your ear.

- No.

So you can see how it feels.

- Who is it?

- Telepizza, your friendly pizza.

- Does this look extra thin to you?

- You're never satisfied.

All I ask is that the Cokes the way they should be.

Cold!

Hello?

Who's calling?

Just a minute.

It's the manager.

Give it here.

Hello?

I had a problem with a delivery.

Go to hell!

Fire me.

I don't give a s***.

- Thanks, Flama.

- You're welcome.

I'm going with my mom.

What are you going to do in Morelia?

When are you leaving?

If the movers come this week, on Saturday.

This is our last Sunday!

SUNDAY, 8:00 PM.

385 Freskas and I didn't guess the color of a single one.

- It's only a game.

- A cruel one.

Congratulations.

What for?

For your birthday.

- Thanks.

- No, thank you.

Your shirt, a******.

All this mess for a brownie?
