Yesterday I was asking, 
No word on what sweet nothings they said to each other.
France2 showed a video with the scene above but they don’t have last night’s broadcast on line yet, and the reporter was talking.
However, today, via Babalu, CNN has part of the video of Hugo’s bedside visit to Fidel. In the video, with stuffed dolls (or are those bobble head dolls? Go check out the video — I’m not making it up) of Hugo and Fidel in the background, Hugo holds Fidel’s wrist and the conversation goes like this:
Hugo: De todas las visitas que he hecho en mi vida, ni siquiera cuando visitaba a mi primera novia, la verdad es que un gusto.
Fidel: Pero cuando tu visitabas tu primera novia no estaba al frente el proceso revolucionario.
Hugo: ¡Ni soñaba!
(my translation)
Hugo: Of all the visits I’ve ever made, not even when I used to visit my first girlfriend, this is truly a pleasure.
Fidel: But when you visited your first girlfriend the revolutionary process was not ahead of you.
Hugo: Not in my dreams!

Small wonder Val calls it Brokeback Bedside.
CORRECTION: Barcepundit, who wasn’t laughing as loud as I was when I listened to the video, writes to clarify,
Fidel: Pero cuando tu visitabas tu primera novia no estaba al frente del proceso revolucionario,
which would be,
“But when you visited your first girlfriend was not leading the revolutionary process”
I got to stop laughing when I watch those two.
Update Don’t miss Three hours of tender intercourse.
That stick doesn’t look too tender to me.
Update: Scene: a secret Havana military hospital
Update, Wednesday August 16: More laughs at the link-rich Dictator love-shack roundup, plus via VCrisis, the mellifluous and tacky video:
(technorati tags Fidel Castro, Castro, Cuba)
