The Boarding School (TV Series)

La llave (2008)

Natalia Millán: Elsa Fernández Campos

Quotes 

• Elsa Fernández Campos : I'm waiting for news from the social worker, rather the confirmation that they're not going to give me the child, because I'm sure that your dear Héctor didn't waste time in making me look bad.

  Jacinta García : Héctor is a good man, and I happen to know he spoke highly of you. If they don't give you the child, it will be because of your going around kissing your abusive boyfriend, and I think you lose points for that.

  Elsa Fernández Campos : Jacinta. I was hoping that, with Miguel here with you, you would stop hating my father and me, but I see that's not the case.

  Jacinta García : I don't hate you. I'm just not sure... that you might ever be a good mother; and, needless to say, your father... doesn't deserve a grandchild.

• Elsa Fernández Campos : Iván, you know perfectly well that there's no smoking here. Put that out right now and go to class.

  Iván Noiret León : I thought it was two weeks cleaning stables for smoking. You're not going soft on me just because we're family? Huh... Mom? Because I can call you Mom, or would you prefer... Mommy?

  Elsa Fernández Campos : Elsa is fine.

  Iván Noiret León : I'm really glad you're with my father. He's out of shape and needed a sparing partner.

  Elsa Fernández Campos : You're very unfair with your father, Iván. I assure you he treats me with respect.

  Iván Noiret León : Of course. You think he hit the other ones on their first date? First he brought them flowers, then he'd take them out to dinner every so often, and then he had them where he wanted them. Wham. He beat them to a pulp. Has he brought you flowers?

  Elsa Fernández Campos : That's none of your business, and I remind you you're one more student, so grab your books and get to class.

  Iván Noiret León : You know what you're doing, if you like those things, but get your left hook ready. You'll need it. Welcome to the family. You'll be in your element... Mommy.
