![]() The real real truth is that you look slightly bored.The coolest, best, greatest, most iconic, most famous album covers of all-time. ![]() But I always promised myself a time would come to recover him, bring him back from the grave so to speak, and just sitting here listening to him with you I know that I was right, that I’m-so many things that are going to change from now on, right? To think I was on the verge of throwing my whole Schubert collection out, crazy! One night we were dining with- they were extremely important people, and our hostess happened to put Schubert on, a piano sonata, and I thought, do I switch it off or do I leave, but my body decided for me, I felt extremely ill right then and there and Gerardo had to take me home, so we left them there listening to Schubert and nobody knew what had made me ill, so I pray they won’t play that anywhere I go, any Schubert at all, strange isn’t it, when he used to be, and I would say, yes I really would say, he’s still my favorite composer, such a sad, noble sense of life. ![]() PAULINA: D’you know how long it’s been since I last listened to this quartet? If it’s on the radio, I turn it off, I even try not to go out much, though Gerardo has all these social events he’s got to attend and if they ever name him minister we’re going to live running around shaking hands and smiling at perfect strangers, but I always pray they won’t put on Schubert. Though you can be sure that old Nietzsche would have if he’d found himself on a weekend road without a jack. You know what Nietzsche once wrote-at least I think it was Nietzsche? That we can never entirely possess that female soul. We are going to explore all the frontiers, my friend, and we will still have that unpredictable female soul. GERARDO: My wife loaned it to her mother. No, my friend,- and then I thought I might as well offer to go fix it with you tomorrow with my jack-which reminds me- what happened to your jack, did you find out what. ROBERTO: Tomorrow? You manage to get to your car-no spare. ROBERTO: No, I am telling you, and this is said straight from the heart, this Commission is going to help us close an exceptionally painful chapter in our history, and here I am, alone this weekend, we’ve all got to help out-it may be a teensy-weensy gesture but. Though there is evidence against him, the audience must also consider the reliability of Paulina’s state of mind given the immense trauma that she has suffered. All in all, though, it can’t be said without doubt that Roberto is the same doctor from Paulina’s past. For example, he uses the phrase “real real truth”-the same as her attacker in his car is a cassette tape of the same Schubert quartet that her rapist would play during the attacks and when Roberto “falsifies” his confession based on the information Gerardo has gleaned from Paulina about what happened to her, he appears to subconsciously correct a deliberate error that Paulina placed in her account as a test. Certain traits shown by Roberto make Paulina certain of his identity. ![]() The question of Roberto’s true identity is the crux of the play: Paulina is convinced that he is the doctor who raped and tortured her, but he insists throughout that he is an innocent man. When he then visits Gerardo and Paulina’s beach house to congratulate Gerardo on his appointment to the commission, which he has just heard about on the radio, Roberto is tied up at gunpoint by Paulina. Roberto is the enigmatic and mysterious doctor who helps Gerardo on the road when his car breaks down. ![]()
