I bought these curtains on credit


I don't know why but I laughed every time she mentioned this. I don't know if they tried to make it sound funny, but when Leticia was drunk and explaining how she got her curtains on credit,it sounded so funny to me, I couldn't help but laugh even though the scene was kind of sad.

The curtains on credit scene shows how little positive there is in her life. There are two possibilities: that she is proud of the fact that she could get a little credit, or that she did not intend to pay for them when she bought them. If she is proud of her little step of credit, then she hopes for a better life. If she didn't intend to pay for them anyway, then it the curtains are a symbol of the hopeless life she has.
