How was your party?
I don't know.
GRACIELA FERNÁNDEZ:
You don't know?
I saw you when you were leaving.
You watched as I left
and you didn't say anything?
What about you?
Why didn't you stay?
GRACIELA: Oh, Roberto.
Your world and mine
have nothing in common now.
And you know it.
I didn't even enjoy the party,
I swear that to you.
(SIGHS)
ROBERTO GÓMEZ BOLAÑOS:
And I didn't feel like
coming back here either.
I don't know
what's happening to me.
I don't know
what's happening to you either.
But I recommend you find out.

GRACIELA: Roberto. Roberto!
I bought some cookies
from the nuns. Want some?
I'm writing right now!
That's fine. You're welcome.
ROBERTO: No,
wait a minute, wait a minute!
I'm sorry! (SIGHS)
I'm having a really hard time
focusing right now, I'm sorry.
-(SIGHS) I've noticed that.
-Yeah?
There's cookies and coffee out
there if you wanna socialize.
EDGAR VIVAR:
Does 14 months of rent
seem like very little to you?
RAMÓN VALDÉS:
Uh, no, no, no, Mr. Barriga,
I think you're exaggerating
just a tiny little bit,
because it's not 14,
it's 12 months of rent.
No, don't confuse me, Mr. Ramón.
It's definitely
-14 months’ rent total!
-I'm not confusing you.
It's only 12 months of rent,
-that's what I owe you
-(LAUGHS)
MARIA ANTONIETA:
What are you laughing at, Quico?
Chilindrina! Look! The thing is
Mr. Barrigas looks like
-my little pig here. (LAUGHS)
-(LAUGHS)
Look, because
it's nice and round.
EDGAR: Well, watch what I do
with your stupid pig!
-Uh.
-Mm! No! Mommy!
ROBERTO:
Cut, cut, cut, cut. Hold on.
You, Edgar, cross directly.
You're visibly angry.
You take the piggy bank
and you throw it in the air
-towards Ramón.
-Uh-huh.
-Without looking.
-In the air, got it!
Just, you know,
try not to hit me in the head.
-Please, man.
-(EDGAR CHUCKLES)
All we do is recycle old
sketches, we're going through
-a creativity drought!
-(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
MARGARITA RUIZ: There's nothing
wrong with recycling old scripts
-to improve them.
-No, no, to me it sounds more
like we're just
dusting off scripts
because Roberto can't think of
anything new to do.
Actually, I think you have
no idea what it means
to write the number of scripts
Roberto has written
-all by himself.
-Thank you, Maggie.
But you don't really
need to defend me.
MARGARITA: And I'm surprised
that you're not able to
understand that every time that
he rewrites a scene,
he's polishing your character.
-MARCOS BARRAGÁN: No, he's not.
-And mine and everyone else's.
No, no, no!
I'm so sorry, Maggie.
But not only are we
able to understand.
But also everyone present here
has always supported Roberto.
Well, then why don't
you prove it?
-RUBÉN AGUIRRE: Yes, sir.
-(SIGHS)
All right, let's go,
from the top once again.
She's the new boss, yeah.
That's it,
nothing to do about it.
I don't know
if she's the new boss
but it's pretty clear she has
a special influence around here.
MARIA: Prove it?
Who does she think she is?
And the worst of all,
is that Roberto listens to her.
And if he doesn't watch out,
she'll end up manipulating him.
Roberto will figure out how to
-handle her.
-MARIA: I recognize a flatterer.
And above all,
I know her intentions.
And Margarita is gonna end up
affecting the whole group.
-EDGAR: I'm worried about that.
-Maggie's a witch.
And she's gonna
bring us all down.
Listen carefully
to what I'm saying.
She's gonna bring us all down.

Bobby. (PANTS) Hey! (SIGHS)
-Is it confirmed yet?
-(SHUSHES)
Listen to me, please,

We're gonna go
on the biggest tour

-(SIGHS)
-Huh?
That's gonna be
a lot of countries.
-HORACIO GÓMEZ: Yeah, yeah.
-How long do we go for?
Well, so far it's only
three weeks.
-But it could be more, right?
-Golly, that's a long time.
A long-- a long time?
How Roberto?
Don't you think
this is good news?
-Yes, of course.
-HORACIO: Okay, so then?
But it's a long time away
from my writing
and away from the studio.
Why are you taking time away
from the studio?
What happened?
-No, nothing. It's um

It's just that we're gonna have

-South America, that's all.
-What?

-South America?
-ROBERTO: So, what do you think?
-No, I mean, that's great.
-But for how long?
-About three weeks as of now.
So, we'd have to come back
to the studio immediately
to make up for lost time.

then it's your world too.
No.
Listen. You go.
And try to find yourself.
-Do whatever you have to do.
-(SIGHS)
I don't know.
But it's not a spiritual
retreat, honey.
It's a work tour!
But it's your work and not mine.
-Are you sure?
-Working as a team is not about
being together all the time
and at all hours.
Working as a team means
each person has their own job,
and this family (SIGHS)
needs someone at the head.
But you should go.
I'm gonna be here.
And everything will be okay.
ROBERTO: And we're gonna take
all this with us, just in case.
But not that.
We need to talk about this
like adults.
And the wardrobe
for neighbourhood, please.
I want it all washed and ironed.
-I don't know the kitchen--
-And look here, here.
-Roberto.
-(GASPS) Listen, Mariano.
I've got everything ready
for the tour,
but I'm gonna leave you
four completed scripts here
so that production is ready
when we get back home.
What? I'm not going on the tour?
Why would you come on the tour?
Because I'm the director, right?
But for television.
This is a tour that's done
in public spaces.
Yeah, but you need another
director for that, don't you?
But I need you more right here!
