Dead in Love (2025) Movie Script
[AUDIO LOGO]
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Hey there.
This is my house...
My abuela's house.
[SPANISH]
That's me, Sofia.
I'm currently getting ready
for yet another first date.
I was hoping to get fucked
tonight, but not like this.
[PHONE RINGS]
[SPANISH]
Sofia Consuelo
Isabella Veracruz,
I know you've been
avoiding my calls.
You think your sisters don't
tell me things, but they do.
[SPANISH] Hermana sold
you out just the other day
for a Target gift card.
I just don't understand
what's wrong with you.
You're 28 years old,
and you hide away
in your abuelita's
house like a crazy lady.
Your papa, God rest his
soul, would be turning over
in his grave right now if he
knew you had shut yourself off
from the world.
We let you stay
there for pennies.
Do you know how
much I could charge
a nice little white couple?
And you can't even consider
dating a nice man or woman?
You know, I don't care which.
The new Pope says it's
OK, so I'm cool with it.
But date someone.
You know, you'll
never find someone
unless you learn how
to cook a decent meal.
You don't eat enough as it is.
So skinny.
Men must look at you and just
think that they'll break you.
And I didn't want to say it,
but your wisdom is showing.
I mean, yes, it's
[SPANISH] but would
it hurt you to wear a little
makeup once in a while?
I mean, don't go looking
like a tramp or anything,
but do you have to look
like a homeless person?
You went to school
to be a writer.
And what are you
doing with your life?
Not writing.
I don't care if you fail,
but you don't even try, mija.
You have to live your life
before you can write about it.
And staying home on a Friday
night isn't going to help.
That's not the story
I want to read.
I know being a copy editor
for a [SPANISH] company isn't
what you grew up dreaming of.
[SPANISH]
You can't give me a grandbaby
if you lock your [SPANISH] away.
Exist in the world, mija.
Instead of hiding behind
other people's words,
you dot their I's
and cross their T's.
An app can do that.
I don't want my youngest
remaining unmarried daughter
to be an app.
Don't be an app.
A woman's job is to create.
Your sister has little Nico.
Don't you want
that too, a family?
I won't be around
forever, you know?
[SPANISH]
[VOICE ECHOING]
[THUD]
[ANGELIC HARMONIZING]
[FRANTIC SPEECH ON TV]
Sofia?
Hello?
Hey, can you watch
little Nico this weekend?
Remember, I'm telling you,
I'm going on that retreat.
I'm going to kick Julio out
of the house for five hours.
I'm going to binge watch The
Bachelor and drink box wine
judgment free.
[GASPS] Ooh, looks
like someone's
trying to get laid tonight.
Teresa.
We...
Ugh.
Sofia!
Sof...
Hey.
Sofia.
Hey, Sofia.
[BREATHING SHAKILY] Sofia!
Come on, Sofia!
[COYOTES HOWLING]
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Teresa, what are you doing?
Why do you have a box?
You know, I got this for you.
You never even used it.
I was saving that for
a special occasion.
I've been looking
all over for this.
You had it the entire time?
Abuelita gave that to me.
You can't take it.
Where did you find this?
I literally just
died, and you're just
about to take all of my stuff?
Teresa, what is wrong with you?
Are you serious?
Ugh.
Must be the wind.
Ay, I still need to call the
cousins and the florists.
Ay, what am I going to have
time to make the pozole?
Ugh, no, those are for Sofia.
They're her favorites.
That's why I got them.
I don't need one.
You remember?
They are my favorite.
Oh, but it is mostly
just symbolic.
And I wouldn't want
to be wasteful.
And I did miss breakfast.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
No, no, those are for
my baby in heaven.
What if I'm not in heaven?
Mm, my favorite.
I used to love to take you and
your sisters out for these.
Papa, I've missed you.
I've missed you, Morita.
Morita?
I'm not little anymore.
Ay, you'll always
be my little girl.
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
I've always been here.
I never left.
Everything changed
after you passed.
Mama completely shut down.
She just spent all
her time at the church
and never remarried,
focused all the time
on Teresa and her getting
married and having kids and...
I stayed for your mother and
to watch you girls grow up.
I married your mother right when
I got out of the service at 19.
Mm, she was only 16.
You just turned 28.
What were you waiting for?
Well, I... I thought
I had more time for...
Time for everything.
You know, it would
have meant the world
to know that you
were still around.
Mama and I just fought all
the time, and I needed you.
I didn't want to upset
you or your sisters
more than you already were.
I'm here for you now.
There goes your mother.
I better go.
No, so soon?
Wait, stay, please.
Your mother's love
keeps me close.
Something is keeping
you here, morita.
Figure out what that is.
Hey, if you need me, I'm
always with your mother.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
I can't believe my
mother was right.
All this afterlife stuff, ugh,
I'd never hear the end of it.
I can see it now, she'll be
including me in nightly prayers
to papa, light candles
for me next to his,
raise the rosary to her
lips, and say, oh, [SPANISH]
why would you take my baby
before she could give me
another grandbaby?
It'll never end, even in death.
Why am I here?
What could be keeping me here?
Definitely not my crappy
content writer job.
Maybe... maybe I'm
supposed to write
something that finally matters.
Or maybe I can cash in on
a sweet ghostwriting gig.
God, not that I'd be able
to spend the money from it,
but it could help my family.
No.
Maybe... maybe I'm
meant to fall in love.
Who would fall in
love with me now?
When I was little,
my mother always
said I'd meet my soulmate, and
I'd spend the rest of my life
with them, and that one special
person was out there somewhere
waiting just for me.
What a terrible thing
to tell a child.
It's like all those Disney
films with the princesses
waiting in a tower or a castle
somewhere, waiting and waiting
for their prince to come.
But what if I didn't
want a prince?
I mean, they were cute and
all, but what if I also
liked princesses?
I mean, I had a serious
crush on Jasmine
from Aladdin when I was 10.
She had everything,
a tiger, a fortune.
So why would she give it
all up for a penniless thief
and his monkey?
Was he really her soulmate?
The whole idea of a soulmate
just makes no sense to me.
It's a lot of pressure to put on
one person to be your everything
and to be tied up to somebody
for the rest of your life.
I don't want that.
I barely know how I want
to spend my forever.
I feel like figuring out
myself should come first,
rather than figuring who I
should be with for the rest of...
Huh?
You kidding me?
I don't even like
this stupid dress.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Hello?
Sofia?
Sofia [SPANISH]
Listen, just because
you're a ghost, young lady,
doesn't mean that you
can ignore your mother.
[SPANISH]
Look, mija, we can't afford
to let this place go unrented.
The listing has generated
a lot of interest.
I thought we could
maybe look over
some prospective candidates.
Look, this one is a
very lovely couple.
They have something
called a giant Schnauzer.
Hypoallergenic.
No mess.
Ay, well, you really are
your father's daughter.
[SPANISH]
At least give her
a chance, morita.
Your mother's just
trying to help.
Just think about it.
Might be what
you're looking for.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Here's the key.
Remember, the deposit
is nonrefundable.
Hope you like the house.
[SULTRY, SEDUCTIVE MUSIC]
[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
Mm.
[CHUCKLES] Mm.
[MOANING]
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
[WET SQUELCH]
[MOANS LOUDLY]
Now let's move on
to something hotter.
Your lease is up, bear do.
You disgust me.
You've ruined pizza for me.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Pizza defiler.
No, no, no, not the beard.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
I'm getting to the...
I'm getting out of here.
I'm getting out
of here right now.
No, no, no, no.
[ROCK MUSIC]
Hot mess
Fire breathing hiss
That's all I want from you
Take me in your arms
Make me come with your charm
The fire burns inside
My passion desire
That's all I want from you
Red velvet here
I just want to stay
You control the fire
On the devil's pyre
That's all I want from you
Yeah
It's all I want from you
[GASPS, CHOKES]
[SOBBING]
What was wrong with her?
[SCRIBBLING ON PAPER]
Hella extra?
What does that even mean?
I can't believe I have to
rent this place out again.
This house is going to be in
our family for a long, long time
to come.
Good.
Hey, what happened, morita?
She was just too much.
Hey, no one's perfect.
Everyone has their
little quirks.
Your mother, your mother would
fart in bed and blame the dog.
Eww.
Oh, oh, what, so...
So that's love?
It's something, all right?
That dog still sleeps
on my side of the bed.
There's a big, beautiful world
out there waiting just for you.
And I'm afraid if
you stay here, you're
never going to discover it.
Well, you stayed.
For my family.
I don't know what's
keeping me here.
It's not the house.
It's your memories.
I mean, I've had some of
the best memories of my life
here in this house with you.
And I don't want to lose that.
You've got to make
room for new memories.
I want more for you than just a
few stolen moments and snacks.
Don't you?
I do.
[WHOOSHING]
Oh, come on!
Maybe the house is
keeping you here.
What?
How come you can't go past
the driveway, but I can't?
I just go where mom goes.
Oh, what, so you haven't
left mom's side in 15 years?
I never wanted to.
Bye, Sofia.
I'm leaving.
See you tomorrow.
I better go.
Hola.
Hi.
Maria Marcos de
[SPANISH] from the house.
I'm happy to let you know
that the report came back,
and your scores are
stellar, so I'll be
happy to have you as tenants.
I will leave the key
for you in the mailbox.
And just as a reminder,
the first month's deposit
is non-refundable.
Hope you enjoy the house.
Thank you.
Bye.
Two for one.
Yes.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Wow, my god.
Yeah, look at the
size of this place.
This is our new home.
Check out the pool.
[CHUCKLES]
If it wasn't so
cold, I'd probably
pick you up and toss you in.
I would kill you.
No, you wouldn't.
But I have a much better idea.
What?
What you got?
Oh, OK.
Oh, OK.
Meet me inside.
Yes, ma'am.
[MOANING]
[MOANING INTENSIFIES]
Hey, babe, can you get
me some water, please?
Yeah, sure.
[WHIMSICAL WHISTLE]
Maybe I have been too picky.
[VOCALIZING]
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
[SOFT, JAZZ MUSIC]
[CHUCKLING]
Read 'em and weep, baby.
Double word.
What, what, what,
what, what, what.
Now let's see what you got.
[MOANS]
I'll tell you what, I'm
going to go top this off.
If you manage to put
something halfway
decent on that board
by the time I get back,
I'll do that dance you like.
Oh.
But if you can't find
anything, then you're
going to dance for me.
All right, I'll be back.
Uh.
I don't... [CHUCKLES]
All right, let's see what
you got, Captain Thesaurus.
That is Admiral
Thesaurus to you.
What?
Mm-hmm.
OK.
Not bad.
All right, pretty decent.
That's pretty good.
Yeah?
All right.
All right.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Yeah.
Hands behind your
back, or else...
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
Wow.
[SINGING CONTINUES]
Ooh.
No.
No?
Uh-uh.
No?
No.
[SINGING CONTINUES]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Requesting permission
to use my hands.
Permission granted.
Mm, yes.
[CHUCKLES]
I have a dance for you.
Oh, do you?
Yeah.
OK.
Do you want to see?
Yeah.
OK.
Oh.
[CHUCKLES]
Mm, OK.
Yeah, oh, wow.
All right.
Nice undies.
[CHUCKLES]
What?
Come here, blanket boy.
[MOANING]
Oh, oh, gosh.
[MOANING CONTINUES]
Is that it?
Did you say something?
No.
Oh.
She can hear me.
[MOANING]
[JOYFUL MUSIC]
Marcos is such a hottie,
but Maria, I just
can't figure her out.
Oh, what?
What is that?
What?
Am I not pretty enough for you?
It looks so much better now.
Oh, you think it looks
so much better now?
Looks good!
Give me that.
It looks better?
You know what I
think looks better?
You are so pretty.
Oh, I'm so pretty.
I'm so pretty.
[ECHOING]
Mm.
I'm glad you like it.
Thank you so much.
I made it just for you, babe.
That's so cool.
I'm going to get some salad.
Oh, here, try this.
OK.
Mm.
Yeah?
Oh, my god.
Oh, that's so good.
He cooks too?
Salud.
Salud.
Mm.
Oh, my god, what a waste.
[MOANS]
[CHOKES]
[CHOKES]
How do you choke
when you're dead?
[CHOKING]
I'm saving you for later.
Oh, someone's an early riser.
Mm, with legs for days.
I'd love to climb that tree.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I wonder what he smells like.
Oh, he's tidy with tight abs,
picks up after himself and her.
Oh, and he has a cute but too.
[CHUCKLES]
[VOCALIZING]
[BLENDER WHIRRING]
[ETHEREAL MUSIC]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Damn, papi.
Ooh, [SPANISH]
[CHUCKLES]
[EXCITING MUSIC]
[SHOWER RUNNING]
He's so sleek and silky.
He's like a seal, or at least,
he has my seal of approval.
[HUMMING]
Oh, to be that rigid
toothbrush in his mouth
or that plush towel
around his waist, ooh.
Huh?
He likes to air dry?
Oh, [CHUCKLES] and manscape.
That was a not
unpleasant eyeful.
How does he fly with
that heavy cargo?
Gives a whole new
meaning to cockpit.
[CHUCKLES]
[GURGLING]
Did my thoughts just
get dirtier in death?
I don't remember
feeling this hungry.
[THUD]
Oh.
Babe.
Mm?
We need to talk.
The last thing a woman wants to
hear first thing in the morning.
Maria, it's noon.
I know what time it is.
I haven't had my coffee yet.
Look, babe, we need to
talk about this mess, OK?
I would really...
Ugh, is this decaf?
Yeah, it's better for
you and for the baby.
What baby?
Oh, come on, with the
extra appetite and the mood
swings and the extra weight.
What weight?
Whoa, whoa.
It's the extra
hormones, right, right?
Hey, I love your curves.
I am not pregnant.
I am not, OK?
Why you got to say it like that?
Would it be so bad if you were?
It's just not the right time.
Well, then what is it?
I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm just stressed.
I don't mean to
take it out on you.
Take this horrible
coffee with you.
Mm-hmm.
I'm going to go back to bed.
Because I love you.
I'm just going to
go back to sleep.
Good night.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] I feel so bad.
[GROANS] OK.
OK, I just need some fresh air.
OK.
How do I write this book?
All right, let's
do some exercising.
Let me get some
blood in the brain.
She's so gorgeous and
fit and mysterious.
She kind of scares me.
She reminds me of
one of those girls
that would throw me into a
trash can in high school.
True story.
Honestly, she wouldn't
need to throw me in.
I'd dive straight into her
cans, no questions asked.
Let's go.
OK, that should do it.
OK.
Oh, wine, let's do that.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
[EXHALES DEEPLY] OK.
[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]
Oh, my God.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Yeah?
I don't want your
[SPANISH] car warranty.
God!
Ugh!
OK.
Oh, my god, now I don't
remember what I was writing!
[GROANS]
[GROANS]
Why did I think I could
write another book?
You wrote a book?
Oh, my god.
There's that voice again.
I'm a writer too.
Come out!
Show yourself!
I'm going to kick your butt!
[MUMBLES] I'm... I'm Sofia.
Huh?
Um, I used to live here.
OK, I clearly had way
too much to drink.
That's what this is,
too much alcohol.
Yeah.
You know, there's something
different about you, something
amazing.
You can hear me.
OK, I'm going to
stop drinking now.
Today's the day.
Well, maybe tomorrow.
I'll do that tomorrow.
You're not...
OK.
You're not crazy,
and you're not drunk.
I mean, you might be
a little bit drunk,
but why don't you tell
me about your first book?
It was about Marcos and I. We
were a high school sweethearts.
We were each other's
first everything.
God, I don't even recognize
that girl anymore.
You know, it sounds
stupid, but I always
wanted to have a high
school sweetheart.
I went to prom with
my second cousin.
OK, if you're going
to keep talking to me,
I need more alcohol.
[GULPS]
Are you still there?
Oh, God.
Oh.
How come you can hear me?
Can you even drink?
Are you old enough for that?
I was.
You know, ever
since I died, I've
had this unquenchable thirst and
insatiable hunger that I get.
Like, no matter how
much I eat or drink,
nothing will satisfy me.
Whoa, that's a
hell of a drawback.
How did you die, if you
don't mind me asking?
My mom, she told my sister that
I had a brain aneurysm, I guess,
Why do you think you're
still hanging out?
I don't know.
But I saw my dead dad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
You saw your dead father?
Yeah.
He died when I was 15.
And now that I'm...
I can see him, and he said
that he was waiting around just
to reunite with my mom.
So you've been here
this whole time?
Uh, yes.
Oh, you're the one
who helped Marcos
last night with a wordy word.
So you've been watching
us this whole time?
I mean, he just... he looked so
pitiful trying to find a word.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, it's not like
I chose this, OK?
It's my mom's fault. She...
I was just trying to get ready
for a date and find love,
and she just calls and starts
nagging my ear off, like,
literally made my brain explode.
You know, I didn't even see a
light at the end of the tunnel
or whatever, you know?
I just... my soul or spirit
or whatever you call this
is just stuck here.
My mom thought
that she could help
me not be so lonely by renting
out the place to people
that I might get along with.
Wait, your mom did...
Why would... what?
Oh, like two for one.
Oh, so she thinks because
you're bi that you're, what?
Non-monogamous?
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
Wait, are you bi?
No.
I mean, I guess I never had that
conversation with her or anyone.
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
Like, I would bring
back boys and girls
to, like, family functions.
I thought she hoped that I
would come back with a guy
like my sister did.
But dead?
Undead.
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
I... breathing in pairs.
Oh, my god, you can't
even say the word.
I think I just have never had
to say it to anyone before.
OK, fine, I'm going
to say it right now.
I'm Sofia.
I'm bisexual, and I'm a ghost.
You know, moms always
know that kind of thing?
They're easier to
deal with than dads.
My dad only showed up
when it was about him,
you know, events
like my wedding.
When I went to visit
my mom, all the
pictures that they had
was just of me and my dad.
And when I asked her about
that, she snapped at me
and she was like oh, he was
just documenting his joy.
It was the opposite with my dad.
I loved him so much.
He was my everything.
When he died, I just lost it.
Mm.
My mom and I used to
watch telenovelas,
and she would always ask
me who I had a crush on,
who I thought was the cutest,
and I could never decide.
She used to call me
[SPANISH] I don't know.
I just saw beauty
in both of them.
That's it.
That's got to be it.
Oh, my god, I always thought
that my gaydar was off
or my binoculars didn't work.
But you, you're...
What?
I never, like, advertise.
I mean, Marcos
knows that about me.
Don't you ever feel
like you're hiding?
[SCOFFS] [SPEAKING SPANISH]
OK, you were the one
who couldn't even
say it a minute ago, OK?
[SPANISH] Oh, no.
[SPANISH]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
Shut up.
[GROANS]
I didn't mean it like that.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Hey, babe, how'd
writing go today?
Oh.
[MOANS]
So you want to talk about it?
All day, I was sitting in front
of my computer, trying to write,
and all I could
think about was you.
Oh, that's so sweet, babe.
No, it's not.
You need more than that.
You can't be all I think about.
I don't know, it just
hit me really hard today.
I really miss her.
Who?
Lucia?
Yeah.
I didn't think it would affect
me this much, but I don't know.
Being in this new house and
all alone, it's overwhelming.
Hey, hey, this is going to
be good for us, you know?
It's a fresh start.
This new promotion is a step
up in rank and pay for me.
Mm.
This will be good for us.
Mm-hmm.
You'll see.
Well, we were more
than comfortable
with the money for my first book
deal, but couldn't handle that.
Oh, I...
I just miss her, that's all, OK?
I could bounce ideas off of her.
Yeah, you did more than just
bounce ideas off of her.
You just don't get it.
I just don't get what?
We're married, remember?
Oh, my god, wow.
Why are you being so hostile?
We agreed, remember?
It was one thing
when I was deployed
and you were actually alone, OK?
I didn't mind you having
that little girl time.
Wow, I'm...
But I'm home now.
I have always been
honest with you.
Why did you say you're OK
with it when you weren't?
[GROANS]
I lied.
[SCOFFS]
But I lied because I thought
I'd lose you if I didn't.
Wow, that's messed up.
Shut up, Sofia.
What?
Who's Sofia?
Nobody.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
So you've been resenting
my relationship
with Lucia this whole time?
Look, your little girl time with
Lucia wasn't a relationship.
Well, it was something.
No.
It could have been.
Something?
Babe, I love you.
I'm with you.
What do I have to say
for you to get that?
Look, if that's the story
that you're sticking with,
then maybe go write about it.
Maybe I will.
Yeah, go, go write about it.
Look, I don't want to fight
about this anymore, OK?
I'm just saying, if you need to
satisfy that part of yourself,
is there a way where
I can be involved too?
How would that even work?
Like how?
I don't know.
Maybe we can try dating
someone that likes both of us.
You want to date other women?
Well, I mean, yeah, if you are.
Well, it's not the same
thing, and you know it.
So you don't want me to
date other women, but if I
wanted to go date a
guy, that would be OK?
He makes a good point.
Yeah, actually that's fine.
Just make sure you wrap it up
and you bring lots of lube.
Oh, water-based lubes are the
best for, like, sexual activity
and toys.
No.
Guys love...
Hey, hey, that's not
what I meant, OK?
Just think about it,
that's all I'm saying.
OK, but no more
holding things in.
No more.
No more.
[SCOFFS] Just because
I'm bi doesn't
mean I can use my queerness
to tune into your mantrums.
I knew it.
It is a superpower.
Whoa, I don't have mantrums.
Yeah, that's totally a mantrum.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, do you want some
chocolate or chamomile tea?
Oh, chamomile.
Oh you know what?
I blame the estrogen and
those shakes of yours.
I mean, you're
practically a d-cup now.
I mean, you have, like,
bigger tits than me.
Hey, I thought
you liked my tits.
I do like your tits.
[JOYFUL MUSIC]
What?
What?
What's the issue then, huh?
I do this all for you, and
you don't appreciate it.
He does have nice tits.
I mean, pecs.
Hot stuff.
[SCOFFS]
[MOANS]
You read my journal?
Oh, I was trying
to find something
to read in the middle of
the night, and I found it.
What'd you think?
Well...
Never mind.
No, no, don't tell me.
Well, you're going to have to
get used to getting feedback
from other writers.
Otherwise, who are
you writing it for?
For me.
If I didn't write everything
that I was feeling in my heart,
it would literally shatter
into a million pieces.
That's what I want
to read about.
Put that in your next draft.
What about this draft?
Oh, forget about this draft.
You need a new one.
That's not helpful at all.
Uh, I'm being very helpful.
If it's not good enough,
you need to change it.
I'm a published
writer, remember?
It needs to be better.
Yeah, but...
I'll let you read mine, OK?
Fair is fair.
Fine.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Babe.
What?
Can you come here, please?
Babe, we can't keep
going on like this.
What?
It's part of my process.
And you're drinking more?
That's also part of my process.
Look, just try and clean
up a little for me, please.
All right, I'll do it for you.
But I'm going to need
a little incentive.
An incentive?
Mm-hmm.
What kind of incentive?
I'm going to need you to be
more attentive in the bedroom.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Are you kidding me?
I'm very attentive.
Oh.
Especially in the bedroom.
OK, honey, you've been
swinging the hammer
and not hitting the nail.
[CHUCKLES] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've been hitting that
nail, let me tell you.
All right, if I come home and
I find that there's a mess,
you have to give of me.
[WHIMSICAL WHISTLE]
[CHUCKLES] OK.
All right.
And if I come home and the
house is clean, you owe me.
Uh...
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
OK, OK, deal.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SOFT MUSIC]
Oh, mija, I wish I
had more life for you.
[PIERCING, ETHEREAL MUSIC]
In case you're thirsty.
Oh, yeah, I'm
getting some tonight.
[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]
I have a confession.
Oh.
[CHUCKLES] What's that?
I read your book.
No way.
Oh, so what did you think?
That chapter about you sleeping
with the entire cheerleading
squad, riveting.
Uh-huh.
I thought Marcos was your first.
My first guy.
[SMACKS LIPS] I was the captain
of the cheerleading team.
I mean, nobody joins
cheerleading for football.
[CHUCKLES]
And Marcos?
He was the captain
of the football team.
I bet you two ruled the school.
Feels like such a lifetime ago.
What about you?
You don't strike me as
a cheerleading type.
Not at all, no.
[CHUCKLES] I was more
of a yearbook kid.
Mm, sounds about right.
Yeah.
You wouldn't have
noticed me at all.
Even less people could
see or hear me then.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
You know, sometimes
I think Marcos still
sees me as that girl he fell in
love with back in high school.
But I changed a lot, and he
hasn't, but he doesn't see that.
Is there something wrong
with him not changing?
Well, love is a living,
breathing thing,
and it needs room to grow.
And if it doesn't, it dies.
I mean, you've grown since
you've been with us, right?
Yeah, but don't you
have to do things
to make your partner happy?
Yeah, but not at the expense
of your own happiness.
[VOCALIZING]
God, this kitchen is a mess.
Marcos is going to be home soon.
What are you doing?
I'm thinking.
About dishes?
No, about my writing.
It's part of the process.
[GASPS] You are such a prude.
You can't even say the word.
You're worse than Marcos.
I can say it.
I just... look, this
is your relationship.
I don't see what's wrong with
doing something nice if it
makes him feel seen and heard.
I mean, he's just so sweet
and kind, and he cooks.
OK, so speaking of cooking,
why are you eating us out
of house and home?
Sorry.
I don't know why.
I just have this insatiable
hunger, and it's not going away.
OK, you know, the worst
thing that could happen
is happen for Marcos to want to
try and have a baby right now.
It's definitely not the
right time for that, OK?
When is there ever a right time?
I mean, he'd have really
cute babies with you.
Wait a minute.
Oh, my god, [SCOFFS]
I can't believe
I never noticed it before.
What?
Sofia, do you have a
crush on my husband?
No, no, no, I don't
have a crush on him.
I just... I just think
that he is nice,
and it would be nice to
do something nice for him.
I mean, could you
just clean a dish?
Oh, my god, you're telling me
how cute his babies will be?
I'll tell you what, if you
admit to me that you like him,
I'll do the dishes.
All right, fine, I like him.
Now, was that so hard?
Yes.
I hate talking
about my feelings.
I'd rather write them down.
OK, that's not how
you wash a dish.
Can you use a little more soap?
Here, just...
[PIERCING GONG]
[GASPS]
What just happened?
[GASPS] I'm out of that dress.
Oh, wow, this is
definitely not mine.
[GASPS] That is
definitely not mine.
Wow, I didn't know
you were Brazilian.
Oh, [CHUCKLES] these
are definitely not mine.
These boobs are so big.
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, eyes up here.
Sorry, I just... I've
never done this before.
Wow.
Snap out of it.
OK.
Marcos is going
to come home soon.
We need to take out the garbage.
OK.
Babe.
Oh, hi, Marcos.
The house looks great.
I mean, babe.
Wow.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
I really appreciate this, babe.
All right.
Oh.
Fair is fair.
Oh.
And I've been doing toning
exercises all day, just in case.
OK, OK, OK.
Hey... Uh, you don't have to...
Oh, yes, I have to.
[MOANS]
You even recycled the bottles?
[MOANING] [SPEAKING SPANISH]
[MOANING CONTINUES]
And you took out the compost?
[MOANING INTENSIFIES]
OK, I'm going to go
shower, and then I'll
fix us something to eat, OK?
OK.
That was interesting.
That was something.
I never shared him with
another woman before.
I thought I'd be
jealous, but I could
feel everything you were feeling
when you were feeling it.
So you're not mad?
No.
[CHUCKLES] I told you,
writers need more orgasms.
Fair is fair.
Hey, what do you think
he's cooking us for dinner?
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Senor honey, to bed.
Oh, good boy.
Good boy.
Time for bed.
Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on
Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation.
Amen.
[VOCALIZING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Maria, did you forget something?
Psst.
Hello, sis?
Mom got drunk the
other night and spilled
about what's been going on.
I have something for you.
Peace offering.
[WHOOSHING]
It's just me.
It's just me.
You never know how to
light these things.
How are you doing this?
We are sharing consciousness.
[COUGHS] This is
some strong shit.
Hey, why did you come?
I didn't like how
things ended after the...
I wanted to talk.
You never want to talk.
Just because I'm always so busy.
You know, I work nonstop.
And then when I
come home, I still
have to work with
the kids, and...
But I should have made the time.
How are the boys?
They miss their ta.
You should bring
them by sometime.
You think the new couple
will be cool with that?
Maria might.
Oh.
So How's that going?
[CHUCKLES] It's complicated.
[CHUCKLES] oh, it's complicated?
Two women, one guy.
Hell, I could use a
sister wife to help
with the kids and the cooking.
Oh, don't get me started.
No, no, it is not
like that at all.
I mean, Marcos is... he
cooks and he cleans.
It's very nice, but
he's also very simple.
What?
Like a Latino
Forrest Gump simple?
No, not liked he's just very
traditional, and Maria isn't.
I don't even know how they got
together and stayed together.
Like, I know that he was
away for his job a lot,
so they were apart.
But you know,
distance can be good.
I complain about Julio, but,
you know, he really gets me,
and that counts for a lot.
I can't believe you two got
married right after high school
too.
Mm.
Do you ever wonder
what it would be like...
I mean, don't you feel like you
maybe missed out on something?
Well, you know, Julio
and I had to get married.
I was already two
months along with Nico.
I didn't want to
disappoint the family.
How did I not know that?
I only told Marisol.
You know, the plus side
to being a curvy girl
is that no one asks
you if you're pregnant.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Oh.
You know, I was
always jealous of you.
Why?
Because you always
went your own way.
You never cared what
anyone thought. You know,
I still remember when you
came home with that nose ring.
Oh, the family dinner.
Mama was so pissed.
You came back with
that giant back tattoo.
She was, like, ready
to flip the table.
And she waited till dessert
to start throwing things.
You were always so
brave, you still are.
I never felt brave.
Even now, I wish I'd
done more with my life.
I think Maria is going
to get here soon.
You should probably go.
Yeah, of course.
This was fun.
We should do again soon.
OK, sis.
Bye.
[ROPE CREAKING]
[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]
[MUMBLES] Ugh.
Why are we wearing this?
Oh, men love it when
you wear their clothes.
They think it's sexy.
You know, I've been
thinking we should
leave the house messy for
Marcos every once in a while.
Why?
You know he likes it clean.
Uh, he also likes other things.
Like what?
Like uh, uh, uh.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
I've never been good at that.
What?
It's, like, the
easiest magic trick.
Everybody can do it.
You know, I already do
nice things for him.
Like I make his
morning smoothie.
What?
Oh, don't worry.
He thinks it's you.
Ugh.
But, like, there's a lot
of soy milk and kale.
OK, men need more
than just kale.
All right, look at me.
I'm going to teach you.
So you grab the
thing right here,
and then you put
the hand down here,
and then you do this
motion like this.
And then it's,
like, really intense
because you have to do two
movements at the same time,
but you really get
the hang of it.
Once you got the hang of
that, then you just go.
[VOCALIZING] like that.
And then after you do the
[VOCALIZING] like that,
you just go like, ah.
You know what I mean?
Like, so it's like...
Nuzzle too?
No, no, no.
Butterfly kisses.
I heard the tip is sensitive.
Stop it with the
butterfly kisses.
I'm telling you
[VOCALIZING] like that.
Yeah, make sure all...
Like, [VOCALIZING]
Don't make that sound, though,
because, like, that is not sexy.
You can, like, moan.
Like, moan.
[MOANS]
That's good.
Oh, my god, like,
are you a virgin?
Like, have you never
had sex before?
No, I just...
Like, do it again.
OK, can you just show
it to me one more time?
OK.
[VOCALIZING]
OK.
Like that.
Like that?
Yeah.
You got it.
One more time.
No, OK, enough, Sofia.
You try it.
You try it.
Hey, babe!
Babe, are you home?
I'm home!
I've been thinking
about you all day!
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Hi.
I've been needing this, babe.
I've had such a long day.
Oh, come here.
Yeah?
OK.
[CHUCKLES] OK.
OK.
All right.
[MOANS]
Oh.
[BOTH MOANING]
Is that OK?
Yeah, yeah, OK, just a
little bit more gentler.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
[MOANS]
[BITE CRACKLE]
Ow!
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Oh, OK.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry/ I'm sorry.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Let me just... let
me just lay down.
Are you all right?
I mean, you seem different.
Yeah, I just...
I'm not feeling myself today.
Oh.
Maybe we can try
something different.
Yeah.
Maybe you can take the lead.
Um, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
[MOANING AND CHUCKLING]
[THUDS]
[MOANING INTENSIFIES]
[CHUCKLING]
Wow.
Well, would you like some water?
Yes, please.
Oh.
Top of the morning, fly boy.
Keep this up, fly girl.
Good morning.
[SCREAMS] Oh, my god.
[SPANISH] [MOANS] [SPANISH]
I'm never going to get used
to a floating cup of
coffee above my head.
Shouldn't you
knock or something?
I'm going to put a bell on you.
What?
[CHUCKLES]
I don't even like it
when Marcos does it.
Sorry.
Ugh.
So how was writing?
Ugh.
You haven't sent me anything.
I will soon when I have
something decent to share.
Marcos has this weird
fantasy in his head about,
what, dating multiple
people, looks like.
I wish I could go back
to the way things were.
Lucia?
Mm, That'd.
Be nice.
I just connected with her on
a deeper level, that's all.
Well, I was thinking maybe
we could do something
different today to
help us connect.
What did you have in mind?
Follow me, and you'll find out.
OK.
Come on.
I'm just going for
the coffee, seriously.
Get up.
I don't care about whatever
it is that you have to do.
Fine.
What do you want
me... what is this?
Turn around.
OK.
And now you're going to fall.
What?
Fall.
I'm going to catch
you, I promise.
Just fall.
No way.
Wait, you don't trust me?
Oh, my god, you're scared.
Wait...
I am not.
Oh, you're scared.
You're scared of
giving up control.
I am not scared of that.
You're scared.
Then fall.
Fall if you're not scared.
Just fall.
Fine.
You better catch me, OK?
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Next we can do a buddy walk.
A buddy what?
Buddy walk.
You close your eyes,
and then I lead you
through a series of obstacles.
OK.
Oh, what, you've never
been to summer camp?
No.
I was schooled, remember?
[SPANISH] Let's get drunk.
OK.
OK, so you've never
been to a party before?
We are going to play
two truths and one lie.
I'll go first.
I really love my husband.
OK, obviously, that's true.
Come on.
I'm a virgin.
That is true for sure.
It is.
Mm-hmm.
The first time
Marcos and I had sex,
I stuck a finger up his butt.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Is that in your book?
And he liked it.
Bet he did.
Oh, OK, OK, my...
I gave my first
boyfriend pinkeye.
OK, that's true.
But how?
How?
Like, the first time
he went down on me,
I farted in his face.
Oh, my god.
I didn't know you could
get pink eye that way.
Damn.
Terrifying.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
I want to leave my husband.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
[SPANISH] No, you don't.
[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
I have never fallen in love.
That... that can't be true.
That's the lie.
Nope.
Are you serious?
I mean, isn't that what
we all do all the time?
Wow.
OK.
That's sad.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Hey, great job.
If this was summer camp, you'd
get a merit badge in trust.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Oh my God, Sofia, I can see you.
OK, don't mess with me.
You're clearly drunk.
I can see you.
Stop messing with me.
What am I wearing, then?
Uh, a cute, little,
tiny, black dress.
Oh, shit.
And nice red lips.
Oh, my god, you
really can see me.
Wow, you're cute, really cute.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Wow, this is so cool.
I can see you.
Wait, what happened
to your shoes?
Oh, I didn't have a chance
to get them on before.
Oh, OK.
All right, I got an idea.
Follow me.
I know you can't
take that dress off,
but when you were in my
body, you wore what I wore.
Take the blindfold off.
[CHUCKLES] What?
Is this Marcos?
[CHUCKLES]
Everyone should wear a suit
at least once in their life.
And you wore one with Lucia?
Mm, once.
Tell me about her.
What was she like?
[SIGHS]
She was adventurous,
spontaneous.
Being with her always
felt new and exciting.
[ETHEREAL MUSIC]
[MOANS]
Hey, babe.
Am I interrupting
a writing exercise?
Why are you wearing
one of my suits?
Or is this one of those
role playing things?
Are you my lesbian banker,
and I'm here for a loan?
What?
No.
No?
I have good credit.
I have a steady job,
and I'm a veteran.
I mean, think
about the discounts
that I could get, right?
Oh, my god.
Mm, he's a perfect candidate
for low interest rates.
Sofia, stop.
Give him one.
We have to tell him.
No.
Who are you talking to?
I mean, is there
someone else here?
Well, she's been living
here since we moved in.
She?
Mm-hmm.
She, who?
Like, the homeowner?
No, Sofia.
Who is Sofia?
OK, so she used to live here.
Mm-hmm.
She died here, and
now she's stuck.
She is a ghost.
A bisexual ghost.
Wow, that's getting
so much easier to say.
It's like you never stop coming
out, even when you're dead.
Like...
A bisexual ghost.
A bisexual ghost has
been living here?
She's been haunting here,
spying on us all week?
Spying is a little harsh.
I mean, what was
I supposed to do?
Haunt my mom's house?
Everything.
Everything?
OK, well, prove it.
Why is that the first
thing guys say when
you tell them you're bisexual?
[MUMBLES] He wants you to
prove that you're a ghost,
not that you're bisexual.
Oh, OK.
How?
She wants to know how
you want her to prove it.
Uh, tell me something
only I know that she saw.
Uh, OK, well, for
starters, she's
the one making those ridiculous
shakes in the morning.
No, don't tell him that.
Well, I don't know what
you put into those things.
I mean, it is
really complicated.
Oh.
You haven't been
making my shakes?
Why would you lie about that?
That's such a stupid
thing to lie about.
I thought you were finally
putting me first for once.
OK, Sofia, do the thing.
What thing?
The thing where you
hop into his body.
Come on, be honest,
have you been
seeing somebody behind my
back since we moved here?
No.
Well, technically, yes, but
I just started seeing her.
Sofia, if you are in here,
you better show yourself,
or I am gone.
Oh, Sofia, please,
hop into his body.
He thinks I'm crazy.
It's the only way.
I don't know.
I don't know.
He seems really upset.
And the first time I did it
with you, it was an accident.
I don't know how I feel
about tapping into his body
without his consent.
OK, are you serious?
OK, She wants to know
if she has your consent
to hop into your body.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Sure, I consent.
OK.
Whoa.
I feel strong.
Oh, whoa, that's
definitely not mine.
OK, Sofia, stop.
Snap out of it.
Focus.
Balls are uncomfortable.
Oh, my voice sounds weird.
[MUMBLING]
Now do you believe me now?
I thought we weren't
going to keep
anything else from each other.
Oh, my god, how was...
You don't think I want
to know if there's
a freaking ghost in here?
How am I going to explain
to you that there's
a ghost in the house?
What do you mean, how are
you going to explain to me?
There's what I'm saying.
I know there was a ghost...
I'm going to give
you two some privacy.
[ARGUING]
I want my side of the bed back.
Pedro?
But what if God takes
you away from me again?
It would be worth it just to
feel your touch one last time.
Oh.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[WIND HOWLING]
Hey.
Um, Maria tells me that
you enjoy my cooking.
Would you like to
help me with dinner?
I'd love to.
Yeah?
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
So what's on the menu?
Well...
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Oh.
[CHUCKLING]
Ooh, looks good, y'all.
Ooh, that looks good.
Mm-hmm, just for you.
You're so...
You know [SPANISH]
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, you guys, this is amazing.
That's amazing.
You are a master chef.
Well, I didn't know that you
had mad cooking skills too.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Favorite sommelier.
Ladies, al amor.
Ah.
[CHUCKLES]
[GLASSES CLANK]
I want to be with
you in Marcos's body.
Me?
Mm-hmm.
What am I supposed to do?
You're just going to watch?
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Lucia?
Can I come in?
Uh, yeah.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
So why are you here?
I had to come see you, after
the letter that you sent me.
Well...
You wrote her a letter?
No.
Lucia, I'm sorry, I
didn't send you a letter.
I did.
Wait, who said that?
Sofia.
Who is Sofia?
She's a ghost.
A bisexual ghost.
She came with the house.
It was in the fine
print on the lease.
So you didn't write it?
Well, she did.
I went through your
emails, and there
was all these unread
messages from Lucia
and this letter
sitting in your drafts.
I just wanted to help
bring you to some closure.
So I sent it.
I had to.
I meant all those things.
I just didn't have the
courage to send them.
So you do love her?
I love all of you, you idiot.
[SIGHS]
Sofia, please give
us a minute, please.
OK.
I really love your
dress, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
So what do you really want?
Oh, baby, I want you to make
my shakes in the morning.
[SCOFFS]
I want you to wash the dishes.
I want you to want
me and only me.
I am not your mother,
nor do I want to be.
Whatever it is that we're
doing is not working.
No one wants to do the dishes.
Sofia loves doing the dishes.
And I know that you love
that she does that too.
But Sofia is not real.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
We need to take a break.
[SOBBING]
I've missed you so much.
[CHUCKLING]
Your father and I were
together last night.
What?
Your mother and I were together.
It was beautiful.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Mom, dad, I don't
want to hear that right now.
Hey, I got my side
of the bed back.
The dumb dog had to
sleep on the floor.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Stupid dog.
Your father made me feel
like I was 23 again.
My body was tingling all over.
[BOTH MOANING]
La, la, la, la, la.
I am not hearing this.
Hey, don't be so close minded.
It was beautiful.
What are you two doing here?
Your mother wanted
to check on you
and see how it was going
with the new tenants.
Now is really not a good time.
Marcos, hey, hey,
where are you going?
[INHALES, EXHALES SHAKILY]
Hey, shh.
She doesn't love you anymore.
And you got to do what's
best for you, yeah?
So... so... wait.
Marco!
Let him go, morita.
He don't deserve you.
You're too good for him.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[ENGINE REVS, RECEDES]
Well, dating is not easy
when you're dead and in love.
Hey, sis.
I have something for you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Wait, wait, didn't
your sister pass away?
Yeah, she did.
Hey, hey, hey, what are
you even doing here?
Mom told me what happened, and
I didn't want you to be alone.
Oh, so what?
You're moving in now?
It's only temporary.
Come on, this is when
you need your family.
Mom's renting the house to
Julio and I for a little while.
You said you missed the kids.
And what do you think of Perla?
Yeah, I mean, she's super
cute, but that's not the point.
I need my own space
to be on my own.
You can still have that.
You can still have
your old room.
Look, Julio and I will
take abuela's room.
It's bigger.
And you can still
have friends over.
Just maybe no more
married couples, huh?
Too much drama.
Come on.
Now Perla has some of your
old things in that box.
Why don't you go show
her where they go?
All right.
All right, sexy friend,
follow the floating purse.
Wait, wait, you think I'm...
I'm sexy?
Sure.
Who doesn't think a girl
with blue hair and tattoos...
[TINKLE]
Wait, you can hear me?
Uh, yeah, yeah, I can hear you.
Good to know.
Hey, sis.
Oh, it's always good
to see you writing.
[MOANS]
Hey, how are you settling in?
Oh, unpacking takes forever.
Oh, I forgot to tell
you, mom is stopping by.
Oh, she was just here yesterday.
No, I know, but actually,
dad's going to be here too.
Dad?
Yeah, So I was thinking
maybe I could connect
you two when they get here.
I miss those babies.
We're home.
Morita,
Papa?
Papa.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Oh, my god.
Oh, my god, you're so big.
I missed you so much.
I've been here.
It's OK.
[SOBBING]
[MUFFLED CONVERSATION]
Oh, you're writing again, mija?
Oh.
Yeah.
It's been good.
Actually, the people
that have been staying
have given me a
lot of inspiration.
Yeah, go ahead and read.
Let me know what you think.
I look forward to it.
[GASPS]
No.
[SPANISH] [GASPS] Ay,
Sofia, you had a threesome
in your grandmother's bed?
How could you?
[SPANISH]
Get it, sis.
[CHUCKLES]
[THEME MUSIC]
[ANGELIC HARMONIZING]
It's the end of the movie.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Hey there.
This is my house...
My abuela's house.
[SPANISH]
That's me, Sofia.
I'm currently getting ready
for yet another first date.
I was hoping to get fucked
tonight, but not like this.
[PHONE RINGS]
[SPANISH]
Sofia Consuelo
Isabella Veracruz,
I know you've been
avoiding my calls.
You think your sisters don't
tell me things, but they do.
[SPANISH] Hermana sold
you out just the other day
for a Target gift card.
I just don't understand
what's wrong with you.
You're 28 years old,
and you hide away
in your abuelita's
house like a crazy lady.
Your papa, God rest his
soul, would be turning over
in his grave right now if he
knew you had shut yourself off
from the world.
We let you stay
there for pennies.
Do you know how
much I could charge
a nice little white couple?
And you can't even consider
dating a nice man or woman?
You know, I don't care which.
The new Pope says it's
OK, so I'm cool with it.
But date someone.
You know, you'll
never find someone
unless you learn how
to cook a decent meal.
You don't eat enough as it is.
So skinny.
Men must look at you and just
think that they'll break you.
And I didn't want to say it,
but your wisdom is showing.
I mean, yes, it's
[SPANISH] but would
it hurt you to wear a little
makeup once in a while?
I mean, don't go looking
like a tramp or anything,
but do you have to look
like a homeless person?
You went to school
to be a writer.
And what are you
doing with your life?
Not writing.
I don't care if you fail,
but you don't even try, mija.
You have to live your life
before you can write about it.
And staying home on a Friday
night isn't going to help.
That's not the story
I want to read.
I know being a copy editor
for a [SPANISH] company isn't
what you grew up dreaming of.
[SPANISH]
You can't give me a grandbaby
if you lock your [SPANISH] away.
Exist in the world, mija.
Instead of hiding behind
other people's words,
you dot their I's
and cross their T's.
An app can do that.
I don't want my youngest
remaining unmarried daughter
to be an app.
Don't be an app.
A woman's job is to create.
Your sister has little Nico.
Don't you want
that too, a family?
I won't be around
forever, you know?
[SPANISH]
[VOICE ECHOING]
[THUD]
[ANGELIC HARMONIZING]
[FRANTIC SPEECH ON TV]
Sofia?
Hello?
Hey, can you watch
little Nico this weekend?
Remember, I'm telling you,
I'm going on that retreat.
I'm going to kick Julio out
of the house for five hours.
I'm going to binge watch The
Bachelor and drink box wine
judgment free.
[GASPS] Ooh, looks
like someone's
trying to get laid tonight.
Teresa.
We...
Ugh.
Sofia!
Sof...
Hey.
Sofia.
Hey, Sofia.
[BREATHING SHAKILY] Sofia!
Come on, Sofia!
[COYOTES HOWLING]
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Teresa, what are you doing?
Why do you have a box?
You know, I got this for you.
You never even used it.
I was saving that for
a special occasion.
I've been looking
all over for this.
You had it the entire time?
Abuelita gave that to me.
You can't take it.
Where did you find this?
I literally just
died, and you're just
about to take all of my stuff?
Teresa, what is wrong with you?
Are you serious?
Ugh.
Must be the wind.
Ay, I still need to call the
cousins and the florists.
Ay, what am I going to have
time to make the pozole?
Ugh, no, those are for Sofia.
They're her favorites.
That's why I got them.
I don't need one.
You remember?
They are my favorite.
Oh, but it is mostly
just symbolic.
And I wouldn't want
to be wasteful.
And I did miss breakfast.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
No, no, those are for
my baby in heaven.
What if I'm not in heaven?
Mm, my favorite.
I used to love to take you and
your sisters out for these.
Papa, I've missed you.
I've missed you, Morita.
Morita?
I'm not little anymore.
Ay, you'll always
be my little girl.
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
I've always been here.
I never left.
Everything changed
after you passed.
Mama completely shut down.
She just spent all
her time at the church
and never remarried,
focused all the time
on Teresa and her getting
married and having kids and...
I stayed for your mother and
to watch you girls grow up.
I married your mother right when
I got out of the service at 19.
Mm, she was only 16.
You just turned 28.
What were you waiting for?
Well, I... I thought
I had more time for...
Time for everything.
You know, it would
have meant the world
to know that you
were still around.
Mama and I just fought all
the time, and I needed you.
I didn't want to upset
you or your sisters
more than you already were.
I'm here for you now.
There goes your mother.
I better go.
No, so soon?
Wait, stay, please.
Your mother's love
keeps me close.
Something is keeping
you here, morita.
Figure out what that is.
Hey, if you need me, I'm
always with your mother.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
I can't believe my
mother was right.
All this afterlife stuff, ugh,
I'd never hear the end of it.
I can see it now, she'll be
including me in nightly prayers
to papa, light candles
for me next to his,
raise the rosary to her
lips, and say, oh, [SPANISH]
why would you take my baby
before she could give me
another grandbaby?
It'll never end, even in death.
Why am I here?
What could be keeping me here?
Definitely not my crappy
content writer job.
Maybe... maybe I'm
supposed to write
something that finally matters.
Or maybe I can cash in on
a sweet ghostwriting gig.
God, not that I'd be able
to spend the money from it,
but it could help my family.
No.
Maybe... maybe I'm
meant to fall in love.
Who would fall in
love with me now?
When I was little,
my mother always
said I'd meet my soulmate, and
I'd spend the rest of my life
with them, and that one special
person was out there somewhere
waiting just for me.
What a terrible thing
to tell a child.
It's like all those Disney
films with the princesses
waiting in a tower or a castle
somewhere, waiting and waiting
for their prince to come.
But what if I didn't
want a prince?
I mean, they were cute and
all, but what if I also
liked princesses?
I mean, I had a serious
crush on Jasmine
from Aladdin when I was 10.
She had everything,
a tiger, a fortune.
So why would she give it
all up for a penniless thief
and his monkey?
Was he really her soulmate?
The whole idea of a soulmate
just makes no sense to me.
It's a lot of pressure to put on
one person to be your everything
and to be tied up to somebody
for the rest of your life.
I don't want that.
I barely know how I want
to spend my forever.
I feel like figuring out
myself should come first,
rather than figuring who I
should be with for the rest of...
Huh?
You kidding me?
I don't even like
this stupid dress.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Hello?
Sofia?
Sofia [SPANISH]
Listen, just because
you're a ghost, young lady,
doesn't mean that you
can ignore your mother.
[SPANISH]
Look, mija, we can't afford
to let this place go unrented.
The listing has generated
a lot of interest.
I thought we could
maybe look over
some prospective candidates.
Look, this one is a
very lovely couple.
They have something
called a giant Schnauzer.
Hypoallergenic.
No mess.
Ay, well, you really are
your father's daughter.
[SPANISH]
At least give her
a chance, morita.
Your mother's just
trying to help.
Just think about it.
Might be what
you're looking for.

You've ruined pizza for me.

No, no, no, not the beard.
No, no, no, no,

I'm getting to the...
I'm getting out of here.
I'm getting out

No, no, no, no.

Fire breathing hiss
That's all I want from you
Take me in your arms
Make me come with your charm

I just want to stay
You control the fire

Yeah
It's all I want from you
[GASPS, CHOKES]
[SOBBING]
What was wrong with her?
[SCRIBBLING ON PAPER]
Hella extra?
What does that even mean?
I can't believe I have to
rent this place out again.
This house is going to be in
our family for a long, long time
to come.
Good.
Hey, what happened, morita?
She was just too much.
Hey, no one's perfect.
Everyone has their
little quirks.
Your mother, your mother would
fart in bed and blame the dog.
Eww.
Oh, oh, what, so...
So that's love?
It's something, all right?
That dog still sleeps
on my side of the bed.
There's a big, beautiful world
out there waiting just for you.
And I'm afraid if
you stay here, you're
never going to discover it.
Well, you stayed.
For my family.
I don't know what's
keeping me here.
It's not the house.
It's your memories.
I mean, I've had some of
the best memories of my life
here in this house with you.
And I don't want to lose that.
You've got to make
room for new memories.
I want more for you than just a
few stolen moments and snacks.
Don't you?
I do.
[WHOOSHING]
Oh, come on!
Maybe the house is
keeping you here.
What?
How come you can't go past
the driveway, but I can't?
I just go where mom goes.
Oh, what, so you haven't
left mom's side in 15 years?
I never wanted to.
Bye, Sofia.
I'm leaving.
See you tomorrow.
I better go.
Hola.
Hi.
Maria Marcos de
[SPANISH] from the house.
I'm happy to let you know
that the report came back,
and your scores are
stellar, so I'll be
happy to have you as tenants.
I will leave the key
for you in the mailbox.
And just as a reminder,
the first month's deposit

Hope you enjoy the house.
Thank you.
Bye.

Yes.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Wow, my god.
Yeah, look at the

This is our new home.
Check out the pool.
[CHUCKLES]
If it wasn't so
cold, I'd probably
pick you up and toss you in.
I would kill you.
No, you wouldn't.
But I have a much better idea.
What?
What you got?
Oh, OK.
Oh, OK.
Meet me inside.
Yes, ma'am.

If you manage to put
something halfway

by the time I get back,
I'll do that dance you like.
Oh.
But if you can't find
anything, then you're
going to dance for me.
All right, I'll be back.
Uh.
I don't... [CHUCKLES]
All right, let's see what
you got, Captain Thesaurus.
That is Admiral

Am I not pretty enough for you?
It looks so much better now.
Oh, you think it looks

Looks good!
Give me that.
It looks better?
You know what I

You are so pretty.
Oh, I'm so pretty.
I'm so pretty.

Mm.
I'm glad you like it.
Thank you so much.
I made it just for you, babe.

Maria, it's noon.
I know what time it is.
I haven't had my coffee yet.
Look, babe, we need to
talk about this mess, OK?
I would really...
Ugh, is this decaf?
Yeah, it's better for
you and for the baby.
What baby?
Oh, come on, with the
extra appetite and the mood
swings and the extra weight.
What weight?
Whoa, whoa.
It's the extra
hormones, right, right?
Hey, I love your curves.
I am not pregnant.
I am not, OK?
Why you got to say it like that?
Would it be so bad if you were?
It's just not the right time.
Well, then what is it?
I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm just stressed.
I don't mean to
take it out on you.
Take this horrible
coffee with you.
Mm-hmm.
I'm going to go back to bed.
Because I love you.
I'm just going to
go back to sleep.
Good night.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] I feel so bad.
[GROANS] OK.
OK, I just need some fresh air.
OK.
How do I write this book?
All right, let's
do some exercising.
Let me get some
blood in the brain.
She's so gorgeous and
fit and mysterious.
She kind of scares me.
She reminds me of
one of those girls
that would throw me into a
trash can in high school.
True story.
Honestly, she wouldn't
need to throw me in.
I'd dive straight into her
cans, no questions asked.
Let's go.
OK, that should do it.
OK.
Oh, wine, let's do that.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
[EXHALES DEEPLY] OK.

Why did I think I could
write another book?
You wrote a book?
Oh, my god.
There's that voice again.
I'm a writer too.
Come out!
Show yourself!
I'm going to kick your butt!
[MUMBLES] I'm... I'm Sofia.
Huh?
Um, I used to live here.
OK, I clearly had way
too much to drink.
That's what this is,
too much alcohol.
Yeah.
You know, there's something
different about you, something
amazing.
You can hear me.
OK, I'm going to
stop drinking now.
Today's the day.
Well, maybe tomorrow.
I'll do that tomorrow.
You're not...
OK.
You're not crazy,
and you're not drunk.
I mean, you might be
a little bit drunk,
but why don't you tell
me about your first book?
It was about Marcos and I. We
were a high school sweethearts.
We were each other's
first everything.
God, I don't even recognize
that girl anymore.
You know, it sounds
stupid, but I always
wanted to have a high
school sweetheart.
I went to prom with
my second cousin.
OK, if you're going
to keep talking to me,
I need more alcohol.
[GULPS]
Are you still there?
Oh, God.
Oh.
How come you can hear me?
Can you even drink?
Are you old enough for that?
I was.
You know, ever
since I died, I've
had this unquenchable thirst and
insatiable hunger that I get.
Like, no matter how
much I eat or drink,
nothing will satisfy me.
Whoa, that's a
hell of a drawback.
How did you die, if you
don't mind me asking?
My mom, she told my sister that
I had a brain aneurysm, I guess,
Why do you think you're
still hanging out?
I don't know.
But I saw my dead dad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.
You saw your dead father?
Yeah.
He died when I was 15.
And now that I'm...
I can see him, and he said
that he was waiting around just
to reunite with my mom.
So you've been here
this whole time?
Uh, yes.
Oh, you're the one
who helped Marcos
last night with a wordy word.
So you've been watching
us this whole time?
I mean, he just... he looked so
pitiful trying to find a word.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, it's not like
I chose this, OK?
It's my mom's fault. She...
I was just trying to get ready
for a date and find love,
and she just calls and starts
nagging my ear off, like,
literally made my brain explode.
You know, I didn't even see a
light at the end of the tunnel
or whatever, you know?
I just... my soul or spirit
or whatever you call this
is just stuck here.
My mom thought
that she could help
me not be so lonely by renting
out the place to people
that I might get along with.
Wait, your mom did...
Why would... what?
Oh, like two for one.
Oh, so she thinks because
you're bi that you're, what?
Non-monogamous?
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
Wait, are you bi?
No.
I mean, I guess I never had that
conversation with her or anyone.
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
Like, I would bring
back boys and girls
to, like, family functions.
I thought she hoped that I
would come back with a guy
like my sister did.
But dead?
Undead.
[WHIMSICAL TONE]
I... breathing in pairs.
Oh, my god, you can't
even say the word.
I think I just have never had
to say it to anyone before.
OK, fine, I'm going
to say it right now.
I'm Sofia.
I'm bisexual, and I'm a ghost.
You know, moms always
know that kind of thing?
They're easier to
deal with than dads.
My dad only showed up
when it was about him,
you know, events
like my wedding.
When I went to visit
my mom, all the
pictures that they had
was just of me and my dad.
And when I asked her about
that, she snapped at me
and she was like oh, he was
just documenting his joy.
It was the opposite with my dad.
I loved him so much.
He was my everything.
When he died, I just lost it.
Mm.
My mom and I used to
watch telenovelas,
and she would always ask
me who I had a crush on,
who I thought was the cutest,
and I could never decide.
She used to call me
[SPANISH] I don't know.
I just saw beauty
in both of them.
That's it.
That's got to be it.
Oh, my god, I always thought
that my gaydar was off
or my binoculars didn't work.
But you, you're...
What?
I never, like, advertise.
I mean, Marcos
knows that about me.
Don't you ever feel
like you're hiding?
[SCOFFS] [SPEAKING SPANISH]
OK, you were the one
who couldn't even
say it a minute ago, OK?
[SPANISH] Oh, no.
[SPANISH]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
Shut up.
[GROANS]
I didn't mean it like that.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Hey, babe, how'd
writing go today?
Oh.
[MOANS]
So you want to talk about it?
All day, I was sitting in front
of my computer, trying to write,
and all I could
think about was you.
Oh, that's so sweet, babe.
No, it's not.
You need more than that.
You can't be all I think about.
I don't know, it just
hit me really hard today.
I really miss her.
Who?
Lucia?
Yeah.
I didn't think it would affect
me this much, but I don't know.
Being in this new house and
all alone, it's overwhelming.
Hey, hey, this is going to
be good for us, you know?
It's a fresh start.
This new promotion is a step
up in rank and pay for me.
Mm.
This will be good for us.
Mm-hmm.
You'll see.
Well, we were more
than comfortable
with the money for my first book
deal, but couldn't handle that.
Oh, I...
I just miss her, that's all, OK?
I could bounce ideas off of her.
Yeah, you did more than just
bounce ideas off of her.
You just don't get it.
I just don't get what?
We're married, remember?
Oh, my god, wow.
Why are you being so hostile?
We agreed, remember?
It was one thing
when I was deployed
and you were actually alone, OK?
I didn't mind you having
that little girl time.
Wow, I'm...
But I'm home now.
I have always been
honest with you.
Why did you say you're OK
with it when you weren't?
[GROANS]
I lied.
[SCOFFS]
But I lied because I thought
I'd lose you if I didn't.
Wow, that's messed up.
Shut up, Sofia.
What?
Who's Sofia?
Nobody.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
So you've been resenting
my relationship
with Lucia this whole time?
Look, your little girl time with
Lucia wasn't a relationship.
Well, it was something.
No.
It could have been.
Something?
Babe, I love you.
I'm with you.
What do I have to say
for you to get that?
Look, if that's the story
that you're sticking with,
then maybe go write about it.
Maybe I will.
Yeah, go, go write about it.
Look, I don't want to fight
about this anymore, OK?
I'm just saying, if you need to
satisfy that part of yourself,
is there a way where
I can be involved too?
How would that even work?
Like how?
I don't know.
Maybe we can try dating
someone that likes both of us.
You want to date other women?
Well, I mean, yeah, if you are.
Well, it's not the same
thing, and you know it.
So you don't want me to
date other women, but if I
wanted to go date a
guy, that would be OK?
He makes a good point.
Yeah, actually that's fine.
Just make sure you wrap it up
and you bring lots of lube.
Oh, water-based lubes are the
best for, like, sexual activity
and toys.
No.
Guys love...
Hey, hey, that's not
what I meant, OK?
Just think about it,
that's all I'm saying.
OK, but no more
holding things in.
No more.
No more.
[SCOFFS] Just because
I'm bi doesn't
mean I can use my queerness
to tune into your mantrums.
I knew it.
It is a superpower.
Whoa, I don't have mantrums.
Yeah, that's totally a mantrum.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, do you want some
chocolate or chamomile tea?
Oh, chamomile.
Oh you know what?
I blame the estrogen and
those shakes of yours.
I mean, you're
practically a d-cup now.
I mean, you have, like,
bigger tits than me.
Hey, I thought
you liked my tits.
I do like your tits.
[JOYFUL MUSIC]
What?
What?
What's the issue then, huh?
I do this all for you, and
you don't appreciate it.
He does have nice tits.
I mean, pecs.
Hot stuff.
[SCOFFS]
[MOANS]
You read my journal?
Oh, I was trying
to find something
to read in the middle of
the night, and I found it.
What'd you think?
Well...
Never mind.
No, no, don't tell me.
Well, you're going to have to
get used to getting feedback
from other writers.
Otherwise, who are
you writing it for?
For me.
If I didn't write everything
that I was feeling in my heart,
it would literally shatter
into a million pieces.
That's what I want
to read about.
Put that in your next draft.
What about this draft?
Oh, forget about this draft.
You need a new one.
That's not helpful at all.
Uh, I'm being very helpful.
If it's not good enough,
you need to change it.
I'm a published
writer, remember?
It needs to be better.
Yeah, but...
I'll let you read mine, OK?
Fair is fair.
Fine.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Babe.
What?
Can you come here, please?
Babe, we can't keep
going on like this.
What?
It's part of my process.
And you're drinking more?
That's also part of my process.
Look, just try and clean
up a little for me, please.
All right, I'll do it for you.
But I'm going to need
a little incentive.
An incentive?
Mm-hmm.
What kind of incentive?
I'm going to need you to be
more attentive in the bedroom.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Are you kidding me?
I'm very attentive.
Oh.
Especially in the bedroom.
OK, honey, you've been
swinging the hammer
and not hitting the nail.
[CHUCKLES] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've been hitting that
nail, let me tell you.
All right, if I come home and
I find that there's a mess,
you have to give of me.
[WHIMSICAL WHISTLE]
[CHUCKLES] OK.
All right.
And if I come home and the
house is clean, you owe me.
Uh...
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
OK, OK, deal.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SOFT MUSIC]
Oh, mija, I wish I
had more life for you.
[PIERCING, ETHEREAL MUSIC]
In case you're thirsty.
Oh, yeah, I'm
getting some tonight.
[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]
I have a confession.
Oh.
[CHUCKLES] What's that?
I read your book.
No way.
Oh, so what did you think?
That chapter about you sleeping
with the entire cheerleading
squad, riveting.
Uh-huh.
I thought Marcos was your first.
My first guy.
[SMACKS LIPS] I was the captain
of the cheerleading team.
I mean, nobody joins
cheerleading for football.
[CHUCKLES]
And Marcos?
He was the captain
of the football team.
I bet you two ruled the school.
Feels like such a lifetime ago.
What about you?
You don't strike me as
a cheerleading type.
Not at all, no.
[CHUCKLES] I was more
of a yearbook kid.
Mm, sounds about right.
Yeah.
You wouldn't have
noticed me at all.
Even less people could
see or hear me then.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
You know, sometimes
I think Marcos still
sees me as that girl he fell in
love with back in high school.
But I changed a lot, and he
hasn't, but he doesn't see that.
Is there something wrong
with him not changing?
Well, love is a living,
breathing thing,
and it needs room to grow.
And if it doesn't, it dies.
I mean, you've grown since
you've been with us, right?
Yeah, but don't you
have to do things
to make your partner happy?
Yeah, but not at the expense
of your own happiness.
[VOCALIZING]
God, this kitchen is a mess.
Marcos is going to be home soon.
What are you doing?
I'm thinking.
About dishes?
No, about my writing.
It's part of the process.
[GASPS] You are such a prude.
You can't even say the word.
You're worse than Marcos.
I can say it.
I just... look, this
is your relationship.
I don't see what's wrong with
doing something nice if it
makes him feel seen and heard.
I mean, he's just so sweet
and kind, and he cooks.
OK, so speaking of cooking,
why are you eating us out
of house and home?
Sorry.
I don't know why.
I just have this insatiable
hunger, and it's not going away.
OK, you know, the worst
thing that could happen
is happen for Marcos to want to
try and have a baby right now.
It's definitely not the
right time for that, OK?
When is there ever a right time?
I mean, he'd have really
cute babies with you.
Wait a minute.
Oh, my god, [SCOFFS]
I can't believe
I never noticed it before.
What?
Sofia, do you have a
crush on my husband?
No, no, no, I don't
have a crush on him.
I just... I just think
that he is nice,
and it would be nice to
do something nice for him.
I mean, could you
just clean a dish?
Oh, my god, you're telling me
how cute his babies will be?
I'll tell you what, if you
admit to me that you like him,
I'll do the dishes.
All right, fine, I like him.
Now, was that so hard?
Yes.
I hate talking
about my feelings.
I'd rather write them down.
OK, that's not how
you wash a dish.
Can you use a little more soap?
Here, just...
[PIERCING GONG]
[GASPS]
What just happened?
[GASPS] I'm out of that dress.
Oh, wow, this is
definitely not mine.
[GASPS] That is
definitely not mine.
Wow, I didn't know
you were Brazilian.
Oh, [CHUCKLES] these
are definitely not mine.
These boobs are so big.
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, eyes up here.
Sorry, I just... I've
never done this before.
Wow.
Snap out of it.
OK.
Marcos is going
to come home soon.
We need to take out the garbage.
OK.
Babe.
Oh, hi, Marcos.
The house looks great.
I mean, babe.
Wow.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
I really appreciate this, babe.
All right.
Oh.
Fair is fair.
Oh.
And I've been doing toning
exercises all day, just in case.
OK, OK, OK.
Hey... Uh, you don't have to...
Oh, yes, I have to.
[MOANS]
You even recycled the bottles?
[MOANING] [SPEAKING SPANISH]
[MOANING CONTINUES]
And you took out the compost?
[MOANING INTENSIFIES]
OK, I'm going to go
shower, and then I'll
fix us something to eat, OK?
OK.
That was interesting.
That was something.
I never shared him with
another woman before.
I thought I'd be
jealous, but I could
feel everything you were feeling
when you were feeling it.
So you're not mad?
No.
[CHUCKLES] I told you,
writers need more orgasms.
Fair is fair.
Hey, what do you think
he's cooking us for dinner?
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Senor honey, to bed.
Oh, good boy.
Good boy.
Time for bed.
Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on
Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation.
Amen.
[VOCALIZING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Maria, did you forget something?
Psst.
Hello, sis?
Mom got drunk the
other night and spilled
about what's been going on.
I have something for you.
Peace offering.
[WHOOSHING]
It's just me.
It's just me.
You never know how to
light these things.
How are you doing this?
We are sharing consciousness.
[COUGHS] This is
some strong shit.
Hey, why did you come?
I didn't like how
things ended after the...
I wanted to talk.
You never want to talk.
Just because I'm always so busy.
You know, I work nonstop.
And then when I
come home, I still
have to work with
the kids, and...
But I should have made the time.
How are the boys?
They miss their ta.
You should bring
them by sometime.
You think the new couple
will be cool with that?
Maria might.
Oh.
So How's that going?
[CHUCKLES] It's complicated.
[CHUCKLES] oh, it's complicated?
Two women, one guy.
Hell, I could use a
sister wife to help
with the kids and the cooking.
Oh, don't get me started.
No, no, it is not
like that at all.
I mean, Marcos is... he
cooks and he cleans.
It's very nice, but
he's also very simple.
What?
Like a Latino
Forrest Gump simple?
No, not liked he's just very
traditional, and Maria isn't.
I don't even know how they got
together and stayed together.
Like, I know that he was
away for his job a lot,
so they were apart.
But you know,
distance can be good.
I complain about Julio, but,
you know, he really gets me,
and that counts for a lot.
I can't believe you two got
married right after high school
too.
Mm.
Do you ever wonder
what it would be like...
I mean, don't you feel like you
maybe missed out on something?
Well, you know, Julio
and I had to get married.
I was already two
months along with Nico.
I didn't want to
disappoint the family.
How did I not know that?
I only told Marisol.
You know, the plus side
to being a curvy girl
is that no one asks
you if you're pregnant.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Oh.
You know, I was
always jealous of you.
Why?
Because you always
went your own way.
You never cared what
anyone thought. You know,
I still remember when you
came home with that nose ring.
Oh, the family dinner.
Mama was so pissed.
You came back with
that giant back tattoo.
She was, like, ready
to flip the table.
And she waited till dessert
to start throwing things.
You were always so
brave, you still are.
I never felt brave.
Even now, I wish I'd
done more with my life.
I think Maria is going
to get here soon.
You should probably go.
Yeah, of course.
This was fun.
We should do again soon.
OK, sis.
Bye.
[ROPE CREAKING]
[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]
[MUMBLES] Ugh.
Why are we wearing this?
Oh, men love it when
you wear their clothes.
They think it's sexy.
You know, I've been
thinking we should
leave the house messy for
Marcos every once in a while.
Why?
You know he likes it clean.
Uh, he also likes other things.
Like what?
Like uh, uh, uh.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
I've never been good at that.
What?
It's, like, the
easiest magic trick.
Everybody can do it.
You know, I already do
nice things for him.
Like I make his
morning smoothie.
What?
Oh, don't worry.
He thinks it's you.
Ugh.
But, like, there's a lot
of soy milk and kale.
OK, men need more
than just kale.
All right, look at me.
I'm going to teach you.
So you grab the
thing right here,
and then you put
the hand down here,
and then you do this
motion like this.
And then it's,
like, really intense
because you have to do two
movements at the same time,
but you really get
the hang of it.
Once you got the hang of
that, then you just go.
[VOCALIZING] like that.
And then after you do the
[VOCALIZING] like that,
you just go like, ah.
You know what I mean?
Like, so it's like...
Nuzzle too?
No, no, no.
Butterfly kisses.
I heard the tip is sensitive.
Stop it with the
butterfly kisses.
I'm telling you
[VOCALIZING] like that.
Yeah, make sure all...
Like, [VOCALIZING]
Don't make that sound, though,
because, like, that is not sexy.
You can, like, moan.
Like, moan.
[MOANS]
That's good.
Oh, my god, like,
are you a virgin?
Like, have you never
had sex before?
No, I just...
Like, do it again.
OK, can you just show
it to me one more time?
OK.
[VOCALIZING]
OK.
Like that.
Like that?
Yeah.
You got it.
One more time.
No, OK, enough, Sofia.
You try it.
You try it.
Hey, babe!
Babe, are you home?
I'm home!
I've been thinking
about you all day!
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Hi.
I've been needing this, babe.
I've had such a long day.
Oh, come here.
Yeah?
OK.
[CHUCKLES] OK.
OK.
All right.
[MOANS]
Oh.
[BOTH MOANING]
Is that OK?
Yeah, yeah, OK, just a
little bit more gentler.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
[MOANS]
[BITE CRACKLE]
Ow!
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Oh, OK.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry/ I'm sorry.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Let me just... let
me just lay down.
Are you all right?
I mean, you seem different.
Yeah, I just...
I'm not feeling myself today.
Oh.
Maybe we can try
something different.
Yeah.
Maybe you can take the lead.
Um, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
[MOANING AND CHUCKLING]
[THUDS]
[MOANING INTENSIFIES]
[CHUCKLING]
Wow.
Well, would you like some water?
Yes, please.
Oh.
Top of the morning, fly boy.
Keep this up, fly girl.
Good morning.
[SCREAMS] Oh, my god.
[SPANISH] [MOANS] [SPANISH]
I'm never going to get used
to a floating cup of
coffee above my head.
Shouldn't you
knock or something?
I'm going to put a bell on you.
What?
[CHUCKLES]
I don't even like it
when Marcos does it.
Sorry.
Ugh.
So how was writing?
Ugh.
You haven't sent me anything.
I will soon when I have
something decent to share.
Marcos has this weird
fantasy in his head about,
what, dating multiple
people, looks like.
I wish I could go back
to the way things were.
Lucia?
Mm, That'd.
Be nice.
I just connected with her on
a deeper level, that's all.
Well, I was thinking maybe
we could do something
different today to
help us connect.
What did you have in mind?
Follow me, and you'll find out.
OK.
Come on.
I'm just going for
the coffee, seriously.
Get up.
I don't care about whatever
it is that you have to do.
Fine.
What do you want
me... what is this?
Turn around.
OK.
And now you're going to fall.
What?
Fall.
I'm going to catch
you, I promise.
Just fall.
No way.
Wait, you don't trust me?
Oh, my god, you're scared.
Wait...
I am not.
Oh, you're scared.
You're scared of
giving up control.
I am not scared of that.
You're scared.
Then fall.
Fall if you're not scared.
Just fall.
Fine.
You better catch me, OK?
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Next we can do a buddy walk.
A buddy what?
Buddy walk.
You close your eyes,
and then I lead you
through a series of obstacles.
OK.
Oh, what, you've never
been to summer camp?
No.
I was schooled, remember?
[SPANISH] Let's get drunk.
OK.
OK, so you've never
been to a party before?
We are going to play
two truths and one lie.
I'll go first.
I really love my husband.
OK, obviously, that's true.
Come on.
I'm a virgin.
That is true for sure.
It is.
Mm-hmm.
The first time
Marcos and I had sex,
I stuck a finger up his butt.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Is that in your book?
And he liked it.
Bet he did.
Oh, OK, OK, my...
I gave my first
boyfriend pinkeye.
OK, that's true.
But how?
How?
Like, the first time
he went down on me,
I farted in his face.
Oh, my god.
I didn't know you could
get pink eye that way.
Damn.
Terrifying.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
I want to leave my husband.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
[SPANISH] No, you don't.
[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]
I have never fallen in love.
That... that can't be true.
That's the lie.
Nope.
Are you serious?
I mean, isn't that what
we all do all the time?
Wow.
OK.
That's sad.
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Hey, great job.
If this was summer camp, you'd
get a merit badge in trust.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Oh my God, Sofia, I can see you.
OK, don't mess with me.
You're clearly drunk.
I can see you.
Stop messing with me.
What am I wearing, then?
Uh, a cute, little,
tiny, black dress.
Oh, shit.
And nice red lips.
Oh, my god, you
really can see me.
Wow, you're cute, really cute.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Wow, this is so cool.
I can see you.
Wait, what happened
to your shoes?
Oh, I didn't have a chance
to get them on before.
Oh, OK.
All right, I got an idea.
Follow me.
I know you can't
take that dress off,
but when you were in my
body, you wore what I wore.
Take the blindfold off.
[CHUCKLES] What?
Is this Marcos?
[CHUCKLES]
Everyone should wear a suit
at least once in their life.
And you wore one with Lucia?
Mm, once.
Tell me about her.
What was she like?
[SIGHS]
She was adventurous,
spontaneous.
Being with her always
felt new and exciting.
[ETHEREAL MUSIC]
[MOANS]
Hey, babe.
Am I interrupting
a writing exercise?
Why are you wearing
one of my suits?
Or is this one of those
role playing things?
Are you my lesbian banker,
and I'm here for a loan?
What?
No.
No?
I have good credit.
I have a steady job,
and I'm a veteran.
I mean, think
about the discounts
that I could get, right?
Oh, my god.
Mm, he's a perfect candidate
for low interest rates.
Sofia, stop.
Give him one.
We have to tell him.
No.
Who are you talking to?
I mean, is there
someone else here?
Well, she's been living
here since we moved in.
She?
Mm-hmm.
She, who?
Like, the homeowner?
No, Sofia.
Who is Sofia?
OK, so she used to live here.
Mm-hmm.
She died here, and
now she's stuck.
She is a ghost.
A bisexual ghost.
Wow, that's getting
so much easier to say.
It's like you never stop coming
out, even when you're dead.
Like...
A bisexual ghost.
A bisexual ghost has
been living here?
She's been haunting here,
spying on us all week?
Spying is a little harsh.
I mean, what was
I supposed to do?
Haunt my mom's house?
Everything.
Everything?
OK, well, prove it.
Why is that the first
thing guys say when
you tell them you're bisexual?
[MUMBLES] He wants you to
prove that you're a ghost,
not that you're bisexual.
Oh, OK.
How?
She wants to know how
you want her to prove it.
Uh, tell me something
only I know that she saw.
Uh, OK, well, for
starters, she's
the one making those ridiculous
shakes in the morning.
No, don't tell him that.
Well, I don't know what
you put into those things.
I mean, it is
really complicated.
Oh.
You haven't been
making my shakes?
Why would you lie about that?
That's such a stupid
thing to lie about.
I thought you were finally
putting me first for once.
OK, Sofia, do the thing.
What thing?
The thing where you
hop into his body.
Come on, be honest,
have you been
seeing somebody behind my
back since we moved here?
No.
Well, technically, yes, but
I just started seeing her.
Sofia, if you are in here,
you better show yourself,
or I am gone.
Oh, Sofia, please,
hop into his body.
He thinks I'm crazy.
It's the only way.
I don't know.
I don't know.
He seems really upset.
And the first time I did it
with you, it was an accident.
I don't know how I feel
about tapping into his body
without his consent.
OK, are you serious?
OK, She wants to know
if she has your consent
to hop into your body.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Sure, I consent.
OK.
Whoa.
I feel strong.
Oh, whoa, that's
definitely not mine.
OK, Sofia, stop.
Snap out of it.
Focus.
Balls are uncomfortable.
Oh, my voice sounds weird.
[MUMBLING]
Now do you believe me now?
I thought we weren't
going to keep
anything else from each other.
Oh, my god, how was...
You don't think I want
to know if there's
a freaking ghost in here?
How am I going to explain
to you that there's
a ghost in the house?
What do you mean, how are
you going to explain to me?
There's what I'm saying.
I know there was a ghost...
I'm going to give
you two some privacy.
[ARGUING]
I want my side of the bed back.
Pedro?
But what if God takes
you away from me again?
It would be worth it just to
feel your touch one last time.
Oh.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[WIND HOWLING]
Hey.
Um, Maria tells me that
you enjoy my cooking.
Would you like to
help me with dinner?
I'd love to.
Yeah?
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
So what's on the menu?
Well...
[EXCITING MUSIC]
Oh.
[CHUCKLING]
Ooh, looks good, y'all.
Ooh, that looks good.
Mm-hmm, just for you.
You're so...
You know [SPANISH]
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, you guys, this is amazing.
That's amazing.
You are a master chef.
Well, I didn't know that you
had mad cooking skills too.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Favorite sommelier.
Ladies, al amor.
Ah.
[CHUCKLES]
[GLASSES CLANK]
I want to be with
you in Marcos's body.
Me?
Mm-hmm.
What am I supposed to do?
You're just going to watch?
[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Lucia?
Can I come in?
Uh, yeah.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
So why are you here?
I had to come see you, after
the letter that you sent me.
Well...
You wrote her a letter?
No.
Lucia, I'm sorry, I
didn't send you a letter.
I did.
Wait, who said that?
Sofia.
Who is Sofia?
She's a ghost.
A bisexual ghost.
She came with the house.
It was in the fine
print on the lease.
So you didn't write it?
Well, she did.
I went through your
emails, and there
was all these unread
messages from Lucia
and this letter
sitting in your drafts.
I just wanted to help
bring you to some closure.
So I sent it.
I had to.
I meant all those things.
I just didn't have the
courage to send them.
So you do love her?
I love all of you, you idiot.
[SIGHS]
Sofia, please give
us a minute, please.
OK.
I really love your
dress, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
So what do you really want?
Oh, baby, I want you to make
my shakes in the morning.
[SCOFFS]
I want you to wash the dishes.
I want you to want
me and only me.
I am not your mother,
nor do I want to be.
Whatever it is that we're
doing is not working.
No one wants to do the dishes.
Sofia loves doing the dishes.
And I know that you love
that she does that too.
But Sofia is not real.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
We need to take a break.
[SOBBING]
I've missed you so much.
[CHUCKLING]
Your father and I were
together last night.
What?
Your mother and I were together.
It was beautiful.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Mom, dad, I don't
want to hear that right now.
Hey, I got my side
of the bed back.
The dumb dog had to
sleep on the floor.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Stupid dog.
Your father made me feel
like I was 23 again.
My body was tingling all over.
[BOTH MOANING]
La, la, la, la, la.
I am not hearing this.
Hey, don't be so close minded.
It was beautiful.
What are you two doing here?
Your mother wanted
to check on you
and see how it was going
with the new tenants.
Now is really not a good time.
Marcos, hey, hey,
where are you going?
[INHALES, EXHALES SHAKILY]
Hey, shh.
She doesn't love you anymore.
And you got to do what's
best for you, yeah?
So... so... wait.
Marco!
Let him go, morita.
He don't deserve you.
You're too good for him.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[ENGINE REVS, RECEDES]
Well, dating is not easy
when you're dead and in love.
Hey, sis.
I have something for you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Wait, wait, didn't
your sister pass away?
Yeah, she did.
Hey, hey, hey, what are
you even doing here?
Mom told me what happened, and
I didn't want you to be alone.
Oh, so what?
You're moving in now?
It's only temporary.
Come on, this is when
you need your family.
Mom's renting the house to
Julio and I for a little while.
You said you missed the kids.
And what do you think of Perla?
Yeah, I mean, she's super
cute, but that's not the point.
I need my own space
to be on my own.
You can still have that.
You can still have
your old room.
Look, Julio and I will
take abuela's room.
It's bigger.
And you can still
have friends over.
Just maybe no more
married couples, huh?
Too much drama.
Come on.
Now Perla has some of your
old things in that box.
Why don't you go show
her where they go?
All right.
All right, sexy friend,
follow the floating purse.
Wait, wait, you think I'm...
I'm sexy?
Sure.
Who doesn't think a girl
with blue hair and tattoos...
[TINKLE]
Wait, you can hear me?
Uh, yeah, yeah, I can hear you.
Good to know.
Hey, sis.
Oh, it's always good
to see you writing.
[MOANS]
Hey, how are you settling in?
Oh, unpacking takes forever.
Oh, I forgot to tell
you, mom is stopping by.
Oh, she was just here yesterday.
No, I know, but actually,
dad's going to be here too.
Dad?
Yeah, So I was thinking
maybe I could connect
you two when they get here.
I miss those babies.
We're home.
Morita,
Papa?
Papa.
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Oh, my god.
Oh, my god, you're so big.
I missed you so much.
I've been here.
It's OK.
[SOBBING]
[MUFFLED CONVERSATION]
Oh, you're writing again, mija?
Oh.
Yeah.
It's been good.
Actually, the people
that have been staying
have given me a
lot of inspiration.
Yeah, go ahead and read.
Let me know what you think.
I look forward to it.
[GASPS]
No.
[SPANISH] [GASPS] Ay,
Sofia, you had a threesome
in your grandmother's bed?
How could you?
[SPANISH]
Get it, sis.
[CHUCKLES]
[THEME MUSIC]
[ANGELIC HARMONIZING]
It's the end of the movie.
