Stico (1985)

Ana Díaz Plana: Gallina

Quotes 

• Don Leopoldo Contreras de Tejada : [talking to a laying hen]  Why do you lay an egg, if it's night? Haven't you realized by now that it's a trick from your mistress? They turn on the light for you, and an egg. They turn it off, and go to sleep.

  Gallina : So? Same as you. Every day is the same. The sun always rises from the same place. However, they tell you that the day is called Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, and you lay an egg. They tell you it's called Sunday, and you don't lay an egg. The next day, they call it Monday, and you lay another egg.

  Don Leopoldo Contreras de Tejada : [Leaving]  But that doesn't go with me. She doesn't have a clue. She doesn't know that my days no longer have names.
