“Every now and then Micky hit me with various money- making schemes. One of the more memorable ones: ‘I say, Orundhuti, I hear you are a famous actress now.’ ‘Not really . . .’ ‘People say you’re a beautiful girl, but I can’t see you. I have cataract in both my eyes and I need surgery. But I have no money.’ Like a fool, I fell for it and gave him the money. He drank himself into a stupor. Once he recovered, I made him an appoint-ment for the surgery and gave the money directly to the surgeon.”

“Mi mamá sostiene que no basta con ganar dinero, hay que saber manejarlo, especialmente en el caso de una mujer, porque a nosotras nos engañan, nos pagan menos, nos roban y, si nos casamos, todo pasa a manos del marido. Ella no tiene ese problema, porque a mi Papo no se le ocurriría ni preguntar por el dinero que ella gana o por la forma en que lo administra. Sabe que si no fuera por el esfuerzo y el buen criterio de su mujer, seríamos pobres de solemnidad. Tampoco le interesa lo que yo gano; es mi mamá quien lleva las cuentas.”
