Goal II: Living the Dream

(CHEERING / APPLAUSE)

# "Ave Maria" - Franz Schubert

(EXCITED COMMENTARY IN SPANISH)

'What a humiliation!'

'Unhappiness around the Bernabeu tonight,

a lot of it directed at Gavin Harris. Came here as a hero.'

'He's being called a donkey tonight.'

(COMMENTARY IN SPANISH)

'Ronaldinho seals it with a brilliant third.'

'Boy, do they need some inspiration from somewhere.'

'Now it's Munez, and we haven't seen too much of him today.'

'Trying a give-and-go here with Alan Shearer.'

'What a great run by Munez!'

'Unbelievable! Newcastle's newest and youngest player

gives the fans a brand-new song to sing.'

'He's got support to his right.'

'Stephen Carr!'

'A free header!'

'And a goal!'

'It's a dream start for Newcastle.'

-OK...

-What did you want to do about the rose petals?

About bloody time! Can we have the red, but in that...

-I've got to get back to work.

-OK. Hello.

-Just no fuss.

-Listen, darling, I've got to go.

-I will see you there.

-All right.

-Bye-bye.

It's ten to five! The meeting with the wedding planner was at four.

Sorry, babe. I just... I just lost track of time.

-We're supposed to do this together.

-What do I know about flowers?

As long as you show up, I'll be happy.

-You Latin boys are so bloody cheeky.

-Are you gonna show up?

I might, if you're lucky.

-(LAUGHS)

-Oh, no. Go and have a shower. You stink.

It's time for a toast, I think. Here's to your new home,

-and may all your ups and downs be in the bedroom.

-Mam!

(ALL LAUGH)

You might wanna be careful there. Look where it got me!

You're lucky I let you get near me.

-How about the extra-hot vindaloo?

-No!

Have a bit of consideration. I'm the one who has to sleep with him.

It sounds good. It sounds good. (ALL CHATTER)

Hello, stranger. Did you lose my number or something?

-We're just ordering.

-No, no. Can I have a quick word?

-Yeah, sure.

-In private.

Excuse us.

Oh, my God.

I've been on the phone for hours.

Are they serious?

They wanna meet us.

(BOTH LAUGH)

-Shtoom, though, OK?

-Yeah.

You've still got two more years at Newcastle. You can't leave.

-The fans'll go mad.

-It's just a meeting.

When are they coming to meet us?

They're not. I'm meeting them in Japan.

He won't be long. Don't worry.

Thank you for coming. (IN SPANISH)

-Van der Merwe.

-Pleased to meet you.

-Sorry you had to come so fast.

-That's fine.

We want Santiago. We can make this work.

But we have to act quickly. The transfer window closes

-tomorrow at midnight.

-I know. Let's vamoose.

-Just don't think about the money, you know.

-You're gonna hate Madrid. They all speak bloody Spanish.

-How's it going, amigo?

-Good, man.

-We haven't said yes yet.

-Are you mad?

With your 10% you could ave your chest waxed, get blond highlights -

you're sorted. (CHUCKLES)

It's a big decision. Roz and I just got a great house.

You haven't come halfway round the world to say no to Real Madrid,

-you nutter.

-I don't wanna spend a season on the bench like Owen.

-He's one of the best. I'd go crazy.

-Goedenavond, mynheer.

-It's Dutch.

-Gentlemen...

Herr van der Merwe, can I get you a drink?

Thank you. Not giving any career advice, are you?

-No. He's just pretending he's got a decision to make.

-I have advice.

First you listen to your heart.

Then you listen to your head.

And then your wife will tell you what to do.

(ALL LAUGH)

You're OK, Mr Ives.

-Excuse me. You know where Roz is?

-Yeah, just down to the left.

Thank you.

Oh, there's that git! Upsetting my lovely Rosalinde.

You're in the bad books now, you know.

-Save your breath, Mr Ives.

-Baby...

-I don't want to talk to you.

-I tried to call you.

-You should have asked for time.

I tried. Listen, I love you.

I love you and I wanna marry you. None of that changes,

but before we have kids and responsibilities, we can -

-Stop playing with the bed!

-I'm sorry.

We can go places, do things, just you and me. Hmm?

I'm not sure I wanna live in Spain. I mean...

-I love Newcastle.

-Me, too. It's been so good to me.

It's given me the most important thing in my life.

You.

-He's got a point there, you know.

-What about our wedding

-and our lovely new house, and my job? I love my job.

-I know.

-But...

-I've got exams at Easter.

Come and see me on your days off. I'll fly back when I can.

Baby, I can't walk away from this chance.

This is my life. And I want you there...

with me.

-I can't even speak Spanish.

-I'll teach you.

'Is it true that a year ago you were a gardener?'

I come from a simple background. My story's different

-from most other players for this team.'

-Rosa!

I tell you what -

at the end of the day, I'd much rather be out with my friends

having a nice meal, nice conversation.

-(SPEAKS SPANISH)

-OK.

I mean, there's more to life than just football.

-What, like computer games?

-Come on. You're in the first team.

Oh, don't get me wrong.

It pays the bills. I do love it. But I've got other interests, as well.

I mean, for example, wine...

I've made an investment in a tasty little vineyard in France.

Mmm!

No, no. It's Cotes Viaudez, special reserve.

-Hello!

-Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday.

-I've already got everything.

-I won't bother next time. 29 again?

I really need a wee. Where's the toilet?

Oh, it's back here, in that room. It's a bit of a wait, I'm afraid.

-Hey! What do you think?

-Oh, man...

-It's not bad, is it?

-How can you afford it?

I dunno. Barry sorts all that out. Hey, Barry! How can I afford this?

Because I get you 80 grand a week, you plank.

Oh, yeah. It's cos I'm on 80 grand a week.

-Hang on. I've got something for you.

-Off you pop, then, treacle.

Santi! What's up, man? Listen, you scored an absolute belter tonight.

-You smashed it, bubba.

-Thanks.

What are you thinking, bringing Roz up here?

This is what we call a bona-fide singles party.

-She's my fiancee.

-Hey, Barry!

Hey. Chateauneuf du Pape, 1982. See what you think of that.

-Nice!

-Come on. Let's go outside.

Oh, Santi? I've got a little idea for you, love.

-Who's that?

-No idea.

-So, how many rooms is this?

-I think it's eight.

I've only been in six.

See, I'm leasing it, and one room was locked...

Well, it's a little bit weird.

It's just a tight little bathing suit.

-I won't wear it. You can.

-Hey, monkey.

Hello. Where you been?

Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?

Who, him? Jordana Garcia, Santiago Munez.

-She can't resist me.

-I'll try.

(IN SPANISH)

Lovely arse. I want him.

-But I thought he had a girlfriend.

-And who cares?

(POUNDING MUSIC) (BABBLE OF CONVERSATION)

Roz!

Hi, darling. It's so great to see you.

Have you seen Santi?

He just popped upstairs with Gav. You look absolutely splendid.

-Can I get you a drink?

-No. I'm going to find Santi.

-Bye.

-See you later.

-See you.

There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere. Hi.

-Roz, this is Jordana.

-Hello.

He was just telling me about your wedding. You're a very lucky girl.

-Not as lucky as he is.

-True.

-Can we go in? It's a bit cold.

Sure.

Well, thanks, but I'm not into all that stuff.

Did you just say no to me?

(LAUGHS)

I've been cornered by Barry. It was disgusting.

He's such a lech. His hands were all over me.

She walked round without her top all night. She's a slut.

-I'm glad we're home. That was mad.

-Gavin sure was in his element.

Mm. What did you, er... What did you think of that TV girl?

-TV girl? Who?

-You know exactly who I mean!

"Did you just say no to me?" Silly cow.

-Do you think she's hot?

-Er...

Don't you pause! What do you mean? You just paused! You can't say yes!

She's OK. I think Gavin has a thing for her, actually.

-Well, she likes you.

-I'm irresistible. What can I do?

I don't think you're irresistible. I could take you or leave you.

-I think I can change that.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

Sant, why are we here?

This is our house.

-You've bought it?

-Yeah, I did!

-Oh, you haven't!

-Yeah! What do you think? Come.

Sant...

-Look.

-Ooh, my God, it's massive!

Look at the size of this thing. It's beautiful! It's amazing!

Oh, wow!

I like the kitchen.

-It's great.

-Yeah!

-(CORK POPS)

(GRUNTS) Well, they say he's gonna be the next Versace.

A lot of the things inside, and the furniture, were designed by him.

-It's me, you idiot.

-'Sorry. It didn't sound like you.'

-Are you busy?

-I'm always busy, monkey.

They won't let us out of the hotel till the match.

It's a funny farm here. I'm locked up with a bunch of dimwits.

-You should feel right at home, then.

-Seriously, how about sneaking in?

You could come up in one of them laundry baskets.

Not tonight. I need my beauty sleep. I look awful.

-You should be one of them.

-I've got to be here.

They need me down the hospital. And I wouldn't be allowed to see him -

he's locked up in a hotel half the week.

What's the point of this classy house if there's only you in it?

-Good goal, man.

-You OK?

Mr Harris, what's going on with you? You were a disaster.

Are you ever going to score another goal?

Yeah. At this moment in time...

I'm a very bad player.

(LAUGHTER)

Hey, coach?

-Munez.

-Can I have a word?

Sure.

Well, I'm feeling great, I'm fit, I'm scoring goals,

and I think I'm ready to start a full game.

-Was that Santiago?

Aye, it was!

'For the first time this season, the coach has a real decision to make.'

'He's got Munez and Gavin Harris,

and Gavin appears to have been on his holidays this season.'

'Well, they paid five million quid for the boy,

and he doesn't look like he's worth a fiver to me.'

-Hey!

-Surprise!

I'm glad to see you.

Cheeky git! He just ran in front of the car? There you go.

Are you all right? You look a bit in shock. Hey...

Come on. It'll be all right.

Eat your dinner.

Well, did he say anything else?

No, nothing. When he threw that at me I was so freaked

that I just drove off. I couldn't breathe.

It might not be a bad thing. You said you wanted to find her.

I know, but I can't deal with it. In my head she was gone forever.

She does really look like you.

-Si?

-'Santiago?'

-Where did you get this?

-'Is it her, Grandma?'

When you went to Spain, I worried this might happen.

Wait... You knew?!

I couldn't tell you, Santiago. I didn't wanna cause you pain.

'She's my mother, and you didn't tell me?'

-What gave you the right?

-'That woman left all of us.'

She just walked away - left your father in pieces.

-But it's my choice. She's my mother.

-'She abandoned you, Santiago.'

-'How can you forgive her for that?'

-Grandma, let me decide, please.

(MUTED CHATTER)

'It's a very, very big night for that young man, Santiago Munez.'

'For the first time since his move from Newcastle,

he starts a game for Real Madrid.'

'Illustrious company alongside him to say the least.'

'Look at those names.'

'They tend to be feisty, these encounters

between Real Madrid and Valencia.'

'It's Beckham forward early on. He's kicked out Munez.'

'Raul alongside him, but Munez goes for goal and glory himself.'

'I don't think Raul's too happy. He wanted that one squared.'

'Raul!'

'Ramos back to clear off the line.'

'David Beckham now.'

'Just about hooked away by Valencia, under pressure here.'

'But now they can counter. Picked up by Vicente,

who is taken down by Santi Munez.'

'Munez could be in real trouble here.'

'Yes, it's a red card! Munez sent off

on his first start for Real Madrid.'

'Well, it's unbelievable. That's a man who's a bit rusty.'

'A late challenge, and he gave the referee nowhere to go.'

'Vicente was really clipped down, and it's a sad day for Munez.'

'From dreams to nightmares for Santi Munez.'

'His first start and now his first early bath.'

'Off comes Zidane, and it's Gavin Harris who will come on.'

'Plenty of tackles flying out there, and that's Guti.'

'Canizares, what is he doing? Not just with his hair, either.'

'This is not a typical Real game. The sending off has set the tone.'

'And another effort blocked away by Casillas.'

'And the follow-up just wide. With ten men,

it'll be very hard work for Real. They'll have to do some passing.'

'Beckham with a free kick, and even he's not found his range tonight.'

'David Beckham with the cross. Here's Gavin Harris! GOAL!'

(DROWNED OUT BY CROWD NOISE)

'They lead one-nil. The drought is over.'

'That's a goal-poacher's goal. Great cross by Beckham,

but Harris is in there doing what he does best,

and stoops to conquer.'

'Scraping home in the end, that late goal from Harris,

but Munez's moment of madness very nearly cost them the game,

Sant? Darlin'?

Hey...

-Sweetheart, wake up.

-(GRUNTS)

Come on, sleepyhead. Darlin'?

Look, I brought you breakfast. Do you want some juice?

You've been asleep for ages! Here.

-Sant...

-Why didn't you wake me up?

-I tried. You were dead to the world.

-You should have tried harder!

I thought you were gonna wake me up. I tried! Are you stupid?

-I'm gonna miss a team plane!

-I'm not a bloody alarm clock!

Hi. Trondheim, first class.

I'll see what I can do.

-More champagne, sir?

-Yes, please.

I got it, I got it.

-Excuse me. Sorry.

-Argh!

Sorry about the peanuts.

(CROWD ROARS)

Please! What is he doing?

(SNEEZES)

Oof!

(YELLS IN PAIN)

Warm up.

Welcome to Norway.

-Not such a great day, son.

-Hey.

I got a call from the boss. There's gonna be a hefty fine.

Nil-nil, and he had me sitting on my freezing ass for 90 minutes.

He's the coach, son. He calls the shots.

-He's sending you a message. Listen.

-Don't patronise me!

I'm doing commercials for tofu and you're fixing cars in Newcastle.

-I'm always there for you, son.

-I need someone full-time in Madrid,

to support me off the pitch.

Perhaps this is where I get off, eh?

It's been a great ride, Santi, and a privilege.

Your plate's getting so full so fast you should watch what falls off it.

Roz?

I don't know what you're saying, but I love it.

Barry? Not a very good agent.

Hey, Santi!

'Where's the milk?!'

Erm, would sir like one lump or two with his tea?

-I don't know why she's so angry.

-Well, you can understand.

I mean, she's up there all alone in that big house.

You're out with dark-haired Spanish beauties.

But I'm not out with dark-haired Spanish beauties.

I'm just saying, you know, she can only imagine the worst, can't she?

Yeah. But I've never given her any reason to imagine the worst.

Yeah, I know.

But you're an international Latin sex symbol.

She knows how many girls have got your photo on their wall.

But that's part of the job. She could try to understand.

I don't know. I'll talk to her during the Christmas break.

Ow! Agh!

-Oh, stop mucking about. You Latinos, you're are always diving.

-I can't.

-It really hurts, man.

-What, you serious?

-Yeah! It really hurts.

Agh!

Ugh! Ow!

Don't worry about it, man. I'm sure it's nothing.

You're not to set foot outside of this facility or your home.

But I have travel plans for the Christmas break, coach.

You're going nowhere.

Do we have an understanding?

I hope so.

(SIGHS)

What's the point of them keeping you there?

You can't even do any training.

Because they pay me, Roz. They call the shots. I cannot change that, OK?

I don't believe this. It's not fair. You promised.

-Why don't you come here?

-'No!'

After all those times I've been to Madrid, you've not come home once.

You've not set foot in Newcastle. This is another excuse.

You can't even call Glen cos you've sacked him.

-'I'm getting sick of it!'

-It's out of my hands. I'm sorry.

Look, I don't wanna speak to you right now, OK?

(SIGHS)

There, there, Roz, pet. Have a nice glass of champagne.

(BABY COOS)

-Ooh. Ooh.

One of them was your uncle.

I, um, managed to get home.

I knew then that I could never tell your father what happened.

And I panicked.

And I ran away.

Well, yeah, but not even a call? To explain?

Santiago, I came back three weeks later and you were all gone.

And no-one could tell me where my family had disappeared to.

And those who could wouldn't.

But it was too late.

You had left Mexico.

When I saw you on the television,

But I was sure that you wished me dead.

I've got creaky legs and I'm getting wrinkles and my contract's up

at the end of the season. So I just thought I should do whatever I can.

Do you know what I mean? Cos I'm not yet sure

what I'm gonna do when I'm done playing.

So you're putting face pack on to extend your contract?
