ICE CREAM MACHINE
Why donít you go talk to her?
What?
What? Are you talking to me?
Youíre the only person here.
Are you talking to me?
Go talk to her!
Do you know the ice cream's history?
Huh?
Do you know how ice cream was invented?
I bet you donít.
Let me tell you then.
CHINA, 1000 B.C.
Too hot, too hot!
Someone blow my tongue!
Quick! Quick!
Ah no, no...
Ah no, no...
I donít want anyone to blow my tongue.
No!
Just kidding! Just kidding.
Go get something to freshen up my mouth.
But sir, we donít have anything refreshing.
Go get something.
If there isnít such a thing, invent it!
But sir...
I want something as sweet...
...as Chun Liís lips.
As icy as the peak of the mountains in Nepal...
and something that is as easy to hold...
...as "churros".
GO!
Chun Li!...
...can you give a kiss, please?
Thank you so much for helping us out.
Now, the final touch.
Approved!
Ramiro!...
donít need your churros anymore.
And that is exactly why people enjoy ice cream so much
and the reason why you should be very proud of being Chinese too.
That story doesnít make any sense,
Iím not Chinese, I am Japanese
and you didnít answer my question.
What question?
How about her?!
She... who?!
She!
That one over there?
Yeah, that one.
Youíve been working here for a year
and for a year youíve been dying to talk to her...
so why donít you just do it?
You know...
sheís the only reason why I havenít quit this stupid job yet.
And why have I never talked to her?
I donít even know.
But Iím not one of those guys who gets to be with the cool girls.
I am that guy who gets to be with the third...
or fourth coolest girl in the school.
Not necessarily the coolest one.
And thatís not bad, I mean!
I like the third coolest girls in school
They are pretty and they are fun too!
But my little friend...
that girl over there...
thereís something really special about her.
For me, she is...
like the coolest girl in school.
and Iíll never get to be with her.
How can you be so sure if youíve never talked to her?
I just know.
thatís the way life works.
not every guy gets to be with the coolest girls.
Thatís how it is...
sheís over there...
Iím over here...
and Iím happy with that.
thatís enough for me.
I donít even know her name anyway.
Sophia.
Martin.
My name is Martin.
Her name is Sophia!
Sophia!...
Sophia!...
Sophia!...
Havenít you talked to her yet?
No, no...
Do you know the Little Angus' story?
I bet you donít.
Iím glad you had the courage to come and talk to me, Little Angus.
You bet!
Okay.
Whatís the rest of the story?
Thereís nothing else to tell.
How come?
I just wanted to tell you the end of the story.
And why did you tell it to me then?
Because it is a story with a happy ending and a very clear message.
Happy...
and do you see a happy ending between us like that?
Of course!
Alright, then.
Iím gonna go over there and talk to her and you stay here, ok?
Put this over here.
And hey
if someone asks for the cream flavor....
tell them itís all gone, ok?
But you can sell vanilla as if it was cream.
Actually...
Go there already!
Hi...
Sophia...
this is the deal.
Itís been a while that Iíve been observing you....
I work across the street with the ice cream machine...
cream flavor is the biggest hit, you know?
I only found out about your name yesterday, but...
Iíve been in love with you for a year to be honest.
Ok... but...
Oh sorry, no, sorry, sorry....
I shouldnít have come here.
No!
I shouldnít have come here.
No, Martin, wait.
It's because...
The only reason I work here is because I can see you across the streetÖ.
Are you serious?!
Me?!
How do you know my name?!
Couldnít you have come yesterday?
Yesterday wouldíve been enough, but...
Take a sit.
I need to tell you a story.
How should I start?
Alright. So when I was little...
around 5 years old I guess....
there were still some English people living here.
Brazil, 1979
Hey woman! Is this soup going to be ready or what?
Iím hungry!
This is the man, sir.
Maybe you wonít remember...
but you got into debt...
on the card game last night...
you now owe 200 thousand pounds...
to the English government.
I ask you sir to pay immediately
or I am going to have to take drastic measures.
I am not going to pay anything.
What do you mean?! Yes, you will!
I wonít, I wonít.
Yes, you will.
No, I wonít.
Yes, you will.
No, I wonít! I wonít! I wonít!
Well...
since youíre not going to pay...
we could make a deal.
You let your daughter marry my son and
and Iíll forgive the debt.
How does that sound?
No!
Letís leave Sophia out of that.
You know how it is...
Michael has issues with girls.
He has that wartÖ
Ok, itís a deal!
Great!
Will you please sign here?
Please, got get my son.
I want him to meet his new wife.
Not her, you idiot!
The girl!
Oh yeah.
Of course.
Sorry about that.
I will go back to England...
and by the time I become a great prince....
or a great emperor....
Iíll be back for us to get married...
and be very very happy.
Wait for me, ok?
But is that serious?
Because if you donít like me, just say so.
To tell you the truth, Iíve been dumped a lot.
But I would actually prefer if you were honest with meÖ.
This came yesterday.
text: I will be back tomorrow, my love.
I thought about talking to you yesterday
but what would you think? You would think that I was crazy!
since we havenít ever talked before!
But I donít want to go away with this English guy...
I want to be with you, Martin!
And I want to be with you, Sophia!
Letís stay together! Letís run away! LetísÖ
Letís go to Las Vegas!
How about Las Vegas? I love Las Vegas!
We can get married over there...
we could live there...
there you can work as a waitress...
Iíll make money gambling...
playing roulette...
and playing "truco"...
although I donít know if there are "truco" machines in the casinosÖ
Hey, I know weíll have...
Weíll have the time of our lives!
Letís go! Let's go!
but it has to be now!
because at any moment, theyÖ
Sophia!
you have no idea how long Iíve expected for this moment to come.
But she is Sophia!
Oh, is it her?
Well, of course, of course.
I knew that.
I was just showing you how people say hello in Belgrade.
But that doesnít matter now, right?
Sophia, letís go.
No no no!
Sheís going to stay here with me.
Well well well....
and who would be you, young lad?
Martin.
I am Martin.
I work with that ice cream machine across the street.
Very well, Martin.
This contract proves that Sophia...
is my wife.
and that I can take her wherever I want.
So...
if you donít have 567890 cents on you,
just get out of my way!
Is there any other way to negotiate?
Oh, yeah, actually.
These little letters over here...
say that you could challenge me.
What kind of challenge?
A chess match.
I challenge you then.
Sorry, I didnít get that.
I, Martin, challenge you.
To a chess match.
You can start.
You know that...
the time you have to make a move is almost over.
I like to...
think a lot about each move.
Oh yes.
Checkmate.
What?!
But we didnít even do 3 rounds yet!
Well, never heard about this tactic?
Itís the most ordinary one!
I think I should...
recognize I failed then.
I should go back to London then.
After the win, Martin and Sophia moved to Las Vegas.
After losing almost all of his savings gambling,
Martin revolutionized Las Vegas and became
a very rich guy, thanks to his amazing invention:
the "truco" machine.
Sophia had two daughters: Vanilla and Maria.
Besides that, she opened a restaurant where
the specialty is lobster with cream,
a huge hit among the gamblers.
The Asian girl took Martinís job.
Nowadays, sheís the most successful businesswoman
in the field of cream flavored ice cream in Latin America and Japan.
On his way back to London,
the young emperor met a beautiful peasant from Northhamptonshire.
They got married, still virgins, and now govern the United Kingdom.
Hi guys
thatís the story about Martin and Sophia.
Isnít it cute?
But itís a little sad.
Iím actually ashamed to talk about that
but deep down I liked Martin
the only reason why I bought ice cream over there was him.
Actually, the ice cream itself wasnít very good
it was a little gooey.
If I were a little older, I would try something with him
but not yet, right?
I wanted some ice cream right now
but I had so much to eat and my throat is sore.
I'm serious!
Do you guys know the story about sore throats?
In 1920, there was a...
