Nails (2025) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Your viewpoints are very similar
to those
of the Tradwife movement,
which is ideologically sexist
and ultra-conservative.
Look, I don't think that taking care
of my home and my family
is at odds with being a feminist.
That movement
reproduces gender roles
through
the subjugation of women.
Ah, no.
I'm not subjugated by anyone.
If you depend on a man
financially, you are.
He controls your life.
Whether you like it or not,
he who pays calls the shots.
I knew it, I knew we were
doing something wrong.
No, don't misjudge us now, Vanessa.
We weren't happy
and we decided to take some time off
to figure out what we need.
That doesn't make us
sexists.
Feminism aims to break
the glass ceiling.
And if you limit yourselves
to doing housework,
you're simplifying
the female universe.
-What's the glass ceiling?
-And you're sabotaging
the fourth wave
of the feminist movement,
which defends companionship
between men and women
If you serve them,
that balance goes to shit.
I just want
my children to recognize me
as their mother.
Yes, a mother
who depends on their father.
Ah, no.
I have my savings.
-Me too.
-Me too.
I don't.
That's really bad, Irene.
Really bad.
There are three requirements
that a housewife should meet:
a profession,
a bank account with enough money
to live for six months,
and a good divorce lawyer.
Mamma mia,
I meet none of them.
Xiaomi, could you bring me
a glass of water, please?
No, this is not a cafe.
Give me a break, Lorena.
What we're doing
is already hard enough
without you making us
feel guilty.
I think feminism is
about every woman being able
to do whatever she wants
without anyone
putting labels on her.
That's
false empowerment.
Doing that,
you violate concepts
like emancipation
and equal rights
based on a personalistic vision
of happiness.
Now it turns out
that we're selfish too.
Why don't you just let us do
whatever the hell we want?
Yeah, Lorena, loosen up, because
Oh, girls, I'm so sorry,
but I'm gonna go.
What did she say
that movement was called?
-The one we're violating?
-Tradwife.
-Can you spell it for me?
-Yes.
-T.
-T.
We'll have something and I'll
OK.
Thanks.
-Thanks, Lorena!
-Ciao.
You blew it, Lorena.
-You blew it.
Excuse me, since I'm here,
could you do my nails?
Fuck you.
What did she say?
Today, no nails.
-Today, I rest.
-Ah.
Then,
why are you here?
So we don't steal any polishes
from them.
Oh.
Ready.
We're off to school.
Say goodbye to Grandma and to Dad.
Bye, granny.
Bye, Daddy.
They're so obedient today,
aren't they?
Yes. Your son said it:
to lose patience
is to lose the battle.
Kids, ask a lot of questions
at school, eh?
The only one who learns
is the one who asks.
Yeah, yeah.
OK, let's go.
Bye.
Shit!
She's won the kids over.
Now she's never gonna go back
to work for me.
What are you doing?
Checking whether she put
the anxiolytics I brought her
-in their breakfast.
-What are you saying, Mom?
Marilís would never drug
our children.
Don't get dramatic,
this is natural.
So is cocaine.
But, what kind of woman do you
think my wife is?
Well, a very good one.
I love her very much.
Right.
Mom, I hate what I'm
going to ask you to do, but
activate the Casting Plan.
I'll handle it.
Hello, Doctor.
You're fatter.
Thanks.
You're always so subtle.
So, tell me, what made you
gain weight again?
Where do I start?
First, I stopped working
voluntarily
and I'm bored out of my mind.
Second, my boyfriend
is working as a waiter at a pub
-and I'm jealous
-That he's a waiter?
No, of the hotties
that must be flirting with him.
Anyway, I ate
all the cookies
hidden around my house.
Did you say
that you stopped working?
Yes, I was
sick and tired of the stress.
And, how's that going?
It's hard to depend on someone else
just like that, overnight.
I'm also undermining
the objective
of the fourth feminist wave.
-What?
-But I also feel like
for the first time
I have time
to listen to myself and discover
what I want to do with my life.
And, hell, I also wanted
my boyfriend to work,
he was just hanging on me.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
To talk to my husband
and tell him to maintain me.
-Really?
-Yes.
I'm tired of listening to
all your problems.
I mean, you always end up
quitting the diets anyway.
This doesn't make any sense.
But, don't go.
Tell me what to do.
Go back to work.
Your problem is anxiety,
not hunger.
I can't, I made a pact
with my friends.
Well, you're determined for us
to get fat.
No, not at all.
What I wanted was
for us to have breakfast
together and play a game.
Bah.
Choose one.
Read it.
Favorite color.
You have to tell us
what our favorite color is.
Come on.
Yours is blue.
And Veronica's
Veronica's
-Yeah, right.
-Orange, Dad.
I was gonna say that, honey,
but you rushed me.
Eh?
Now it's your turn.
Favorite season of the year.
-Which is mine?
-How should I know?
Can't you see?
It's clear.
We don't know each other.
I realized it at the party.
-Don't even talk to me about that.
-Every day I'm more convinced
that my decision
was the right one,
even if that Lorena
thinks otherwise.
-Who's Lorena?
-Honey, I apologize
because I told you
that you needed therapy;
we all need it,
as a family.
Let's see, Lina, I'm
going through a time
with a lot of work
and I don't have time
for psychologists.
I have exams.
This is our problem,
everyone just
does their thing.
Dad, I'm running late.
-Can you take me?
-Yes.
Don't try to fix everything
in five days, I know you.
My favorite season
is the fall!
Even if you all
could care less!
Oh my God, the scramble came out
really salty.
This place is hell.
-Wow! What a cool place.
-I know, right, honey?
We can't tell anyone
that we didn't go to school.
This is our secret.
-Let's go to the ball pool
-Come on, let's go.
Come on.
All you have to do is sign here
and your account is open.
-Here?
-Yes, there.
-Well, that's it.
-And my passbook?
Oh, that disappeared
a long time ago.
-How much are you depositing?
-Oh, do I have to make a deposit?
Yes, of course.
If not, they'll cancel it.
Is five euros okay?
In two months, the commissions
will leave you overdrawn.
-Twenty?
-Better.
I'll have to see how I can
buy groceries now.
Álex! Antonella!
Where are you
you damn brats?
Ma'am, you can't be in there.
Oh, sorry!
I can't find my children.
Don't worry,
what are their names?
-Álex and Antonella.
-OK.
Antonella, Álex, your mom
is very worried.
If you don't come back you'll never
watch The Cat Pack again, eh?
Ma'am, are these your children?
Oh! Where were you, kids?
The boy hit my grandson
and the girl spit at him.
If you can't handle them,
don't take them out.
Are you saying that I don't know
how to raise my children?
What I'm saying is, if you can't
control them, don't bring them here.
I have them perfectly
under control, look.
We want to be with Guada!
Oh, that's their aunt.
She's in Mexico
and they really miss her.
My mom is a fucking dumbass.
Of course.
That's affectionate in my country,
eh?
I told you not to say that.
Have you seen my gray pants?
They're in the wash.
Still? I put them in the basket
a week ago.
And they're still there.
Now you're not going to
run the washing machine either?
The chair came out great,
didn't it?
I don't know how to
operate that thing.
Learning new things
makes your brain more plastic.
I don't give a damn about
my brain.
Those are my clothes for work,
Irene. I need them.
Arturo, do it yourself or hire
a cleaning lady.
What?
I'm not going to hire anyone
and I'm not going to run
the washing machine.
I don't understand a thing.
Where are the
instructions in Spanish?
I might've thrown them away
by accident,
it came with a bunch of papers.
Great. What do you want me to do?
Learn Dutch?
It's not that complicated.
On the dial you've got
all the programs.
But the letters have faded,
you can't make out anything.
For five years I've been asking
for a new washing machine.
If you'd listened to me
Hey! It started!
It started!
Two hours and forty-one minutes?
But, I have to go!
Yes, honey.
No, Dad, you've got
it all wrong.
No, you're the one who's got it
wrong.
-No.
-Yeah, listen to me, look.
Edmund Terency Yes.
Hi.
Let me introduce our family
therapist Dr. Furiase.
Since you don't have time
to go to therapy,
well, the therapist
has come to our home.
Family is
an interconnected system
in which any change
in any of its members
has an impact on the others.
Of course, they're bewildered
by my life change.
I don't care about that.
What bothers me is
that we told you this morning
that we didn't want to do therapy
and here we are.
You're a bossy pants.
Let's try not to insult each other,
because otherwise
But, Lina, do you see yourself
like that?
Ah, no. I don't.
I propose a game.
Another one with games
Great.
OK, fine. I've been
an aggressive superexecutive
who ignored her family
completely,
but I'm going to fix that.
And now I'm gonna be
a nosey and annoying housewife.
Come on, Mom,
a new iPhone has come out.
Could you buy it for me
with that money you earned
by never being at home
so I have everything I need?
Of course, sweetie,
because I buy everything for you
even though I don't want you to
grow up like a posh girl.
And don't ask Dad.
Dad is irrelevant here.
I'm in charge of this house.
No, no, no.
The game doesn't work like that.
You can only adopt one role.
Relax, it's okay.
Everything is under control.
I'd better just look the other way
and the bad cop will deal with it.
No, Lina, you play
Verónica not Íñigo.
I don't look the other away.
It's just that you
want to control everything.
Well, show some initiative,
assert yourself.
-Please.
-Why
-do I have to assert myself?
-I'm not telling you to say things.
-I'm asking you
-Why should I assert myself?
Please!
It'd be enough to talk
about things.
-It has to be me?
-Shut the hell up!
How is it possible that you
didn't go to therapy before?
Because my husband says
that therapists are a rip-off.
This is gonna take a while.
And cost a lot.
Let's see, I want you to write
down how you felt.
And, tonight, over dinner,
I want you to read it.
No, the thing is
They don't eat dinner.
It makes you fat.
Today they will.
How was school, kids?
-We didn't
-They were really busy, right?
-They had two hours of gym class.
-Two hours?
But, that's a long time
for kids this young.
Not at all. In fact, it's really
good for their bone development.
Ah!
-What happened?
-Nothing.
I just remembered
that tomorrow the PA
candidates are coming.
Could you help me
to interview them?
What time? I have to take
the kids to school.
-Relax, I'll take them.
-No, Úrsula. I'll take them.
Please, let me spend time
with my grandchildren.
I'll be leaving soon.
Already? When?
We're gonna miss you a lot.
Well, not quite yet.
When you're more organized.
You, don't worry.
Mom, you can stay
as long as you want.
-This is your house.
-Literally.
Ah!
Dinner!
No bad vibes, please.
You betrayed us
and brought a therapist in.
You must understand
that we're upset.
The therapy
is for everyone's good.
Right.
It's all very healthy
and without any carbs, eh?
Come on.
You didn't bring anything written.
I didn't have time.
Tomorrow I have a math test.
I didn't either, darling.
I'm really busy at work.
I'll read mine and you can read
yours in the morning.
Deal?
I feel confused, lost
and judged
by my friends and family.
I feel like
the hardest decision
of my life, abandoning
everything I've achieved
to take care of my family,
and myself,
is only generating
problems for me.
I was hoping that my daughter
would understand that, despite
having been an absent mother,
I want to fix it
and grow closer to her,
and show her that I love her
and that my only concern
is her happiness.
I was also hoping
that my husband
who I also love madly,
would support me on a path
that is hard but necessary for me.
I just hope
that we're in time to right
our courses in life
together because
what would be the point of all this
without you two?
Are those beets?
No, they're turnips.
What happened?
Girls, I'm calling Richi
and he's not picking up.
That's normal, he works at a pub.
He probably didn't hear it.
I suspect he's hiding something.
He's acting weird.
Every time I get close to him,
he closes his computer.
Well, check it out.
There she goes
with the searches.
I was just thinking about
searching his computer.
-I have it here next to me.
-It must have a password, right?
I know it,
he always uses the same one.
Don't do it, listen to me.
Look what happened to me
with that party.
No. Go ahead, open it.
I can't.
It would break our pact
to respect each other's privacy.
Then why did you call us?
Shit, to vent, otherwise
I'll devour all the cookies.
I know. Do you want me to invent
a fake profile and check it?
No, no.
See you tomorrow, girls.
Well.
It's not funny, Irene.
These pajamas are 20 years old
and they were like new.
What program
did you wash it on?
I don't know.
The instructions are in Dutch.
Look, a perfect excuse
to buy another one,
I'm tired of this one.
You should know
that I told Betina everything.
But, why did you tell her
about our issues?
Who's that?
An unidentified caller.
Don't answer it,
it must be a scam.
Or something worse.
-Good morning, sweetheart.
-Good morning.
I called you yesterday.
Yeah, I saw it later.
With the music, I didn't hear it.
You could put in on "Vibrate".
It wouldn't matter,
I can't answer it.
The place gets packed.
I'm working all the time.
That's great. You must be meeting
a lot of people, right?
-Ahh, you're jealous.
-I wonder why.
We hardly fuck anymore.
Because I'm tired, my love.
All night serving drinks,
all day on the networks
That's called working.
If all the people who worked
stopped fucking,
humanity would've
disappeared.
Come on, come here,
I'll give it to you,
you're being very silly.
No, now you're doing it
because I told you to.
No, Richi, no.
Ah, Richi.
Oh, I'm not gonna fuck you.
Ah, ah, ah
Richi, oh,
you're so good, you bastard.
Ah
-What is it?
-Nothing, I'm just looking at you.
Oh, it's just that you've never
looked at me like that before.
How?
Are you getting soft?
Eh? No way.
No way.
I can't believe it.
This is the last straw:
whiskey dick.
You reminded me of my mother
when she thought
I was smoking joints,
looking at me like a crazy woman.
-You're with someone else.
-What are you talking about?
A crazy woman is never wrong.
What's wrong with you now, man?
Snap out of it!
I didn't write anything.
I fell asleep.
-And you?
-Me neither.
Mom is gonna feel terrible
after those beautiful words
she wrote for us. What do we do?
Here on your resume,
it doesn't look like you have
experience
in event organization.
I've been in public relations
at many places.
I'm really good with people.
I don't think it's
a very difficult job, right?
Actually,
it's a very demanding job.
She used to work for me
and now she's a housewife.
You don't have to
tell her my life story, dickhead.
Wait, are you
messing with me?
No, no, my love.
I'm as flabbergasted as you are.
But you selected
the resumes.
You must've seen the photos.
Well, the truth is
that I was very busy
so I asked my mother for help.
Goddamn bitch.
Marilís, I don't think she did it
with bad intentions.
No.
No, your mother loves me.
-That's why
-Aha.
Oh, my!
Who would throw all this away?
Wow. It's new.
This one, for Lucia.
Ma'am, what are you doing
with that?
-Again?
-You know you have to pay.
-Let go of it, you junkie.
-I'm clean.
-Let go or I'll scream, eh?
Ma'am, these things are mine.
I have them on display here.
I'd give you something,
but I don't have any change today.
Well, you know how it works.
But if another customer
comes by and is interested,
I'm gonna sell it to him.
Let's see.
I have a grocery store coupon,
will this do?
What am I gonna do with that?
I have two euros here.
Well, that's not much, is it?
But I'll give it to you,
to build customer loyalty, okay?
Eh? I'll make a note of it, eh?
I wish this parasite would just
overdose already.
-Hi, honey.
-Hi.
Hi, Mommy.
Mommy. Is that to make up
for ditching me
after I made breakfast
for you two?
We didn't want to tell you
that we still didn't have
our notes.
We panicked,
but we have them now.
Didn't you say you didn't have
time to do it?
I skipped recess to write it.
And I skipped a meeting.
Come on, we have
5 minutes before we get home.
-What do I put?
-How should I know?
Ask Chat GPT, but
it has to be something really nice,
-after she opened her heart to us.
-You're so sappy.
Well, since you went out
of your way, I forgive you.
Can you read it to me?
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED
HAPPY AND EXCITED
Mom, you went too far.
Marilís figured it out.
I had to tell her
that you did the selection.
Son, what were you thinking?
You brought me
the hottest women in Spain.
She was going to kill me.
But
Let's see
What?
Ay
-How are the kids?
-Fast asleep.
What about the interviews?
I hope the selection I made
was helpful.
Thanks a lot, Úrsula,
you did a really great job.
We chose the blonde
with the big tits.
-There was a blonde with big tits?
-Yes.
I didn't really look at the photos.
In fact, we couldn't decide
between her
and the one with the nipple
piercings you could see.
If Thiago is going to be
with her all day,
she'd better be
a really pretty woman, right?
Yes, of course.
Better than an ugly one,
of course.
Did you see your Mom's face
when we told her that we chose
the blonde with the big tits?
Marilís, don't get mad now.
It's childish.
That goddamn bitch
is not gonna do this to me.
Honey, you're talking about
my mother.
Really, I don't think she did it
with bad intentions.
I want you to give it to me
like a drawer that won't close.
What?
Ah, you're horny.
Winning turns me on.
Come on.
No. Don't do that.
That turns me off.
No, come on, come on.
I'll shut up. I'll shut up.
Shut me up. Shut me up.
What are you doing here so late?
-You're not answering your phone.
-But, what is all this, Irene?
A bookshelf
they'd left in the trash.
See what I was telling you?
I brought you a doll for Lucía.
-Mom, it's missing an arm.
-So?
This way she'll be more empathetic
towards those with physical defects.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not crazy.
You can't go around grabbing
everything you see in the trash.
I tell her the same thing,
but she won't listen to me.
That's not healthy behavior.
Are you taking your medication?
Don't take this wrong,
but I don't think it's right
you coming to my house
to supervise me at night.
I'm not supervising you
I'm worried about you.
I'm better than ever.
Yesterday I opened
a bank account.
An account? What for?
You don't have any income.
I don't understand a thing.
Irene, can you explain to me
what is wrong with you?
I want to be happy.
Happy?!
That's some nonsense
you get into your head
from reading self-help books.
If all this junk is left here,
-I'm gonna sleep at your house.
-Wait, we have to talk about it.
I don't know what Juanma
is gonna think.
Grab your pajamas, because
I'm not gonna throw them away.
Great.
Hey
What?
A cream puff,
the chocolate pastry,
one each of these,
the roll,
and the chocolate doughnut
as well.
And that candy over there too.
What? I'm gonna pig out.
My boyfriend is fucking
someone else
and I can't come
when I touch myself.
How much is it?
Ten euros.
Do you want vibrator?
I sell cheap vibrator.
But, isn't this a grocery store?
What are you doing awake?
I just ate half the stuff
at a Chinese convenience store
and I feel really guilty.
-And you?
-Restoring a bookshelf.
I couldn't sleep.
Arturo got mad
and went
to my daughter's house.
Well, you caught me
drinking a glass of water.
I just had a ride
like a genuine Amazon warrior.
You ride horses?
No, dumbass.
I just had a great fuck.
With Thiago
thanks to my mother-in-law.
Your mother-in-law?
I don't understand a thing.
Vanessa, really?
You woke me up.
Are you peeing?
How did you know
that I'm peeing?
Ah!
