Cover material, huh?
-Bro. Wonderful.

Let's see. [sighs]
[Silvana over phone]
Hey, my sweet boy, listen.
Guess what?
My car broke down,
and I'm not gonna make it. Don't be mad.
I promise I'll eat you up some other day.
[scoffs] This… [sighs]
-[phone chiming]
-It's okay, it's okay, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
I didn't have anything ready anyway,
so, good luck with the car and everything.
See you around.
[scoffs, mumbles indistinctly]
[sighs]
[sighs] Great. [blows]
All right, bon appétit.

LOVEBEE
YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST MATCH!
MARGA TORIELLO
[dramatic upbeat music playing]
[Marga] Heads up, people.
We've got a situation in the restroom.
I'm on my way.
[Julieta] So, what
if I don't want to solve it?
-[stutters]
-[shushes]
[sighs] Julieta?
-[sniffles]
-Baby, open up?
[sobs] He waited until today to tell me
his mom is moving in with us.
-Why is he doing this to me, Marga? [sobs]
-[clicks tongue]
-[sniffles]
-Because he's an asshole.
[sighs]
[sniffles]
-[sighs]
-[sobs]
[sighs] You chose to marry an idiot.
[clicks tongue] That's it.
It's not the end of the world,
it happens all the time.
And if it doesn't work, you get a divorce.
[sobs] No! I don't want to get divorced.
-[breathes heavily, sniffles]
-All right, all right.
Hey, look… look me in the eyes.
How many nights have you been dreaming
about your wedding?
-[sobs] I don't know. A lot?
-[Marga] Exactly, a lot.
Planning every tiny detail
to make it perfect,
paying for every flower and every canapé
your guests are stuffing their faces with.
Are you seriously going to let the groom
ruin your wedding?
No, no. No, no, no.
That’s not happening.
Because this is still your party,
this is your night.
And we won't let the groom
or his mom ruin it.
And yeah, love is beautiful.
But do you really think it's forever?
Well, yeah.
-For God’s sake! [sighs]
-[comms beeping]
Team, I need the stylist and makeup artist
in the bathroom, stat!
BETWEEN WALLS
[soft instrumental music playing]
Okay. Who cares? [sighs]
[sighs]
MARTÍN SERRANO
WHAT R U DOIN?
[upbeat festive music playing]
-[guests cheering]
-[gasps]
-[camera shutter clicking]
-Got it.
You made things hard,
but I can stand my ground.
-[indistinct chatter]
-Hey. [breathes heavily]
-Girl, girl, sorry. It was--
-[Marga] At last! What's going on?
That got really intense.
I just hope… [breathes deeply]
…I hope Sofi didn't see me.
Was there drama?
Well, the groom's a moron
and almost got this called off.
But guess who saved the day?
-Mm?
-[sighs] Marga Salvatori.
-The savior, as usual.
-[chuckles] Yeah, that's normal.
-[chuckles]
-Hi.
-You're late.
-Yeah, just a little bit.
There was a minor family issue,
um, but hey, I'm here now,
and it won't happen again.
How can I help?
-Don't let it happen again.
-No. It won't happen again.
-[Marga] Mm.
-You're in charge.
-Of course.
-Mm?
Everything’s good, huh?
Amazing. Bye, Sofi. [sighs]
She's something, huh?
-[gasps] The bride, oh shit!
-What? What?
There… there she is.
Look, I've got this feeling…
-Okay.
-…like she could bolt at any moment.
Your only task today, the most important,
is to make sure she doesn't escape.
-All right?
-Okay.
[Marga] Follow her. Go.
-I'll be on top of her.
-Yeah. Call me on the radio.
-[Martín] Here, look.
-[Jaime] He's got nothing. [laughing]
-[Martín] No! If you…
-[Claudio] Oh, right, yeah.
Oh, but guess what?
-What've you got? Show me.
-[Claudio] Bro, and you?
[Martín] Seriously?
-[Alafita laughing] Yeah!
-No. I've got nothing. Alafita won.
[laughing] All right, but…
Well played. Well played.
Martín, Martín, back to the topic,
you’re just wasting your time
with that doctor,
and deep down you know it.
You need to get someone else
to build a real relationship,
-someone you want, dude.
-[stutters] Hold on.
Here’s how my relationship with her works,
no strings attached,
nobody interferes with anyone.
And that's it, we both know
what the deal is, so it’s fine.
-Just in case you were worried.
-Yeah, well, I am worried
because you don’t seem happy, dude.
Besides, uh, I'm feeling things out
with another girl right now.
-Oh, you slut!
-[Claudio] Oh, yeah?
-[Martín] Yes.
-Hey, sorry. Uh,
I gotta go. I need to cash out,
I gotta go because…
I’m supposed to watch
a movie with Ramiro.
-So, how am I going to…
-Oh! Ramiro. Come on. Ramiro!
Hey, Ramiro, can we borrow him
for five minutes?
No! [hushes] Ramiro doesn't know I'm here.
Hey, hey, hey! What’s this?
They were supposed to be hearts.
This looks like an ass.
Ah, ah, back to it, come on.
-Be better, Raúl.
-Hey, girl.
-What?
-Take a picture of me, okay?
-Okay, all right.
-For my… for my Lovebee profile.
Objective? Like a gentrifying gringo.
[chuckles]
[guests cheering]
Dude, dude. That's Patrisha.
Have you seen her? The influencer.
-Yeah, I know.
-Okay, take a photo of me with her.
-Forget about the gentrifier…
-No, Karina.
Yes, please,
take a picture of me with her.
-Her hair smells delicious. Oh, hi!
-Can I help you?
-[Kari] Hi.
-Ugh, so cringe! Oh, my God, how awkward.
Hey, I was wondering
if we could snap a picture together.
-Oh, you're Marga!
-Yes, with my friend who--
-Yes, she's Marga.
-[gasps] Wow!
I’m… I’m Patrisha, Julieta’s best friend.
Yeah, I know.
Listen, I wanted to let you know
that I know what went down
in the bathroom, and wow, thank you.
-My birthday is coming soon
-[mutters indistinctly]
and I would love for you
to plan the party.
-Of course, absolutely!
-For sure! [laughs]
Really? How exciting.
Actually, I want to introduce you
to my boss.
No, no, hold on. No. I want you.
I don’t deal with middle people.
-No offense.
-Yeah. Absolutely.
-Of course--
-Yeah? [laughs]
When she's like that, uh, frozen,
it definitely means awesome.
-You, me, my birthday. 23…
-[Kari] Us.
-…million followers watching you…
-Whoo!
-…organize my party!
-I follow you already.
Beautiful, so fucking cool.
Keep having fun, okay?
-[Kari cheering]
-At the party you guys organized! [cheers]
-Stop it.
-She's so much fun! Just so much fun.
-What are you doing?
-Transforming our lives, Margarita!
Transforming our lives, our reality!
-Can you understand--
-No! We will be fired.
Are you now realizing just how quickly
we’re manifesting our dreams?
We only need to think it,
and it happens. Ta-da.
-Are you seeing this?
-Yeah, right?
[sighs]
-No shit. This is fucking cool. [laughs]
-[laughs]
[phone chiming]
On second thought,
two things always go wrong for me in life.
One is dating,
the other is taking pictures of the moon.
-[chuckles, sighs]
-[phone chiming]
But hey, at least you can make
tuna tostadas.
Not just anyone can pull that off.
Hey, I just got off work
and I’m heading straight home.
-And you, what are you up to?
-[phone chiming]
Well, I’m just getting ahead on some work
right now.
Uh, usually, on days like this,
I always get hard--
[sighs]
-…always get hard--
-[chuckles]
Ah, I'm sorry. I was saying
I get hard work done, but, well,
I don't know, I'm thinking,
I wanted to ask if you were up for go--
Fuck. This shitty chat.
What am I doing wrong?
Uh, yeah, anyway, I wanted to know
if you’re up for going out this week.
Sounds good, I’m in,
but you pick the spot.
[phone chiming]
-Hey. Good evening, Anita.
-[Anita] Good evening, Marga.
-Good morning, actually. [chuckles]
-[Anita chuckling] Yeah, you're right.
-Thanks for everything. Bye.
-[Anita] Bye. Rest up.
[soft melodic music playing]
[sighs]
[door knocking]
[music fades]
-[laughs]
-What? What, dude?
-[Marga] What are you doing?
-Is it too much?
-I mean. No, a little bit. [laughs]
-No, actually, it’s…
-I didn't… I haven’t told you.
-I will need an explanation.
-[Kari] Okay, here me out. [clears throat]
-[clears throat]
-I’m seeing a guy who is…
-Uh-huh.
-[imitates motorcycle engine revving]
-[inhales] Oh. Mm-hmm.
He’s a… He’s a racer.
In fact, I’d even go so far
as to say he’s a legit moto daddy.
-[Marga] You mean… Oh, motorbike!
-Legit.
Yeah, and of course,
you know I've always had,
you know, a weakness for velocity,
-so…
-Mm-hmm.
Today it's speed, tomorrow it's diving.
Last week was all about heights.
Don't you remember?
Marga, I’ve loved heights my entire life,
-for as long as I can remember--
-[laughs] You were--
-For the love of God.
-Uh-huh.
-You were terrified of heights.
-I wasn't.
But, hey, it's nice to have
-a different hobby every week.
-Mm-hmm.
No, that… that box isn't, no.
No, right now,
I don’t want to think about it.
I don’t even know if I’ll take it.
I have no idea.
Oh, look, since you love heights.
-[Kari] That one!
-That one, yes.
-[Kari] Like… Okay.
-[Marga] It's all yours.
[Kari] Okay. Well, you know,
if it weren’t for that
hot mountain climber ghosting me,
honestly, you and I would be packing
our bags for Aspen right now.
You know, forget the mountain climber.
I mean, it’s good he ghosted you.
-It's great.
-Don't say that, don't say that.
[chuckles] Do you know what's great
about all this?
What?
That you’re overcoming your fears
with your exes.
[Kari] Right?
The bad thing is that
you disguise yourself.
What? Hold on, I don't disguise myself.
-A bit. A bit.
-I empathize with my dates.
-[Marga] Ah.
-Ting, you and me.
Mm. You empathize,
or is it more that you change
your personality just to please them?
[grunts mockingly] Okay.
So you turned off
the switch for this, right?
-Ah, no, no, no, I forgot.
-[screams] Marga, I almost fried my brain!
-Sorry.
-I think I peed a little.
-Sorry, sorry.
-All right,
-pose for the shot. Three, two, one.
-Look, no, no,
this honestly doesn't feel right,
I don't feel comfortable.
What? But, you look great.
No, I don't look--
No. Look, thanks for helping me,
but you can just go home.
All right, fine.
But, hey, you look great, bro.
Ah! Out of my face.
If not, your dad won't let you in, dude.
[soft sensual music playing]
[Martín over phone] Hey, Marga.
I hope you’re doing well.
I’m sending you the address of the bar.
See you in a bit. Bye!
Hey, Sof.
Hey, right now I’m sending you
the centerpiece I picked out, okay?
It won’t take long. Here it comes.
-[sighs]
-[phone chiming]
Fuck it. Seriously.
Okay, send, send, send.
Send, send, send. Okay. [sighs]
Okay.
[whimpers] There it is.
Um, Marga?
-Hey.
-Oh. Hi!
-[Martín] Hi.
-Martín?
-Uh, yes, yes. Martín.
-Okay.
-Uh.
-Hey, I'm sorry,
-it didn't say it was closed.
-I… It's closed…
[Martín] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It… it… didn't say that.
Uh, well, no worries, it's fine.
Yeah, it's a pity, really,
because it's an awesome spot, for real.
-Oh, yeah? [chuckles]
-[Martín] Yes. [chuckles]
-Yes.
-Oh, you were looking at my picture.
-Oh, it was…
-Yeah, it's me, it's me.
-Right…
-Um, well then, what do we do now?
[soft instrumental music playing]
This story must go on ♪
I keep in an old trunk the kisses ♪
I never gave you… ♪
Hey, I feel bad, you know?
Uh, I’m kind of not making
great decisions today.
[clicks tongue] It's, uh…
it's interesting.
Hey, do you have much experience
with Lovebee?
Not much.
-Uh, what I don't get is…
-[Martín] Mm-hmm.
…is that, like, I can't… I can't read you.
I… I don't understand
what kind of guy you are.
Wha… what do you mean,
what kind of guy I am?
You won't understand. You have to see it.
I mean… Look.
Here, check out all these guys, okay?
Look. The buff guys
with Fruit Loops for brains.
The wealthy yoga hippies,
those guys always expect you
to pay for everything.
-Hmm.
-So intense, right?
[Marga] The older guys looking
for 20-somethings.
They're the other way around,
they pay for everything.
Well, then you break even there.
-Simple as that.
-But any… anyway,
-the point is, I don’t understand.
-[clears throat]
Which category are you?
I'm the guy who can't even figure out
how to send a fucking audio.
-[laughs]
-Well, yeah. It's apparently easy.
It wasn't that bad,
don't be so hard on yourself.
Hmm. Do you think it works?
-What?
-The app.
-Oh, that?
-Ha… has it worked for you?
I mean, do you think it actually works?
Well, it depends. It really depends a lot
on what you're looking for.
Like, do you… do you know
what you're looking for,
what kind of person?
-No idea, no idea.
-[Marga] Mm-hmm.
-I don't know.
-[Marga] Yeah.
You know?
I'd like to be in a relationship…
-[Marga] Uh-huh.
-Obviously, to fall in love,
share many great years with that person,
and travel, visit lots of places.
Yeah, I mean, to have something special,
something that adds
to my life, right? That--
You… you mean-- Okay, something se…
something serious, right?
-Yeah.
-[Marga] Mm-hmm?
Yeah, I mean, although nowadays
there are a lot of people who, well,
find all that boring, right?
Really boring.
Yeah. Yeah, I’m one of those people
who finds it creepy.
I mean, the idea
of just jumping into things, like…
people who want to do everything together
and live together right after meeting,
kills the whole vibe.
You’re absolutely right.
I think sometimes no commitment
is nice, too, right?
Something chill,
something serious as well.
I mean, it’s the same thing, right?
Anyway, I’m heading to the restroom.
Oh! Oh!
[waiter] I'm sorry.
[both sigh]
Should I drive you home?
[thunder rumbling]
No, no, no! This can’t be happening.
No way. Come on, can you hold this?
Goddamnit! Hey, I’m so sorry.
Honestly, I don’t know
what’s going on with me today.
-[chuckles] It’s just not my day.
-[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[Marga] I mean, I really enjoy
what I do, honestly.
But I do have this dream
of someday starting my own company.
-Yeah.
-To be my own boss,
to work in other venues, but whatever.
-I get it.
-And you?
-Uh, me?
-When did you start as an editor?
[sighs, chuckles]
That's a good question, huh?
My uncle used to edit films
from the '70s and '80s. [chuckles]
-What kind?
-Uh, yeah.
What kind of movies?
[chuckles] Well, in a nutshell,
uh, let's say,
it's the complete cowboy filmography.
Since I practically grew up
watching what he did, I later learned and…
-Okay.
-To help him,
I started editing commercials,
-which were a bit awful, to be honest.
-[chuckles]
Uh, some were better than others. [laughs]
But there's one in particular
-that I still can't get out of my head…
-Which one?
…it goes something like this.
Woodtastic, woodtastic ♪
Your kitchen, a place so fantastic ♪
-No!
-Yeah.
-Well, uh, sort of.
-Wait, so… No, no.
-So, you edited the Woodtastic commercial?
-Yeah.
-Wow!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-I mean, what a fucking awful commercial.
-I know, I know.
-[laughs]
-[laughs] And you're still doing those?
No, no. Just imagine, I’d die.
No, no, no.
Okay. Okay.
Well, I’m still doing some things
almost as bad,
but at the end of the day,
it's just as terrible,
-you know…
-What?
I'm editing a soap opera that…
that I hate.
-Yes.
-Which one?
No, no. I can't tell you that.
[gasps] Tell me!
-No. Why would you expect me to tell you?
-Tell me!
-No, no, no, I'll never tell you.
-Why not?
No, no, no, it's embarrassing.
I would love to explore other things,
-you know…
-Uh-huh.
-In short, get out of my comfort zone.
-Hmm.
Uh, yeah, edit a film. Not soap operas.
-Not anymore.
-And what kind of film?
Like a romantic comedy
with a happy ending?
-Or do you only like that in real life?
-Uh, no.
I mean, there’s nothing wrong
with being a romantic
in a world of cynics like me, you know.
-No, not at all. [chuckles]
-[chuckles softly]
It’s funny you mention that. Care to join?
-It’s free. [laughs]
-Uh-huh.
You know, the other day
I read that cynicism…
-Uh-huh.
-…is a defense mechanism for the things
that actually scare you.
-Mm. [smacks lips]
-[Martín] Funny, huh?
Oh, wow. [inhales]
I thought I was talking to an editor,
you know, not a therapist.
-[chuckles] But okay, what scares me, hmm?
-Mm-hmm. Yeah, well.
-[mellow ambient music playing]
-The truth is I fear almost nothing.
-Or, well…
-[Martín] Mm-hmm.
…there's one thing that scares me,
the dark.
[Martín] Oh, the dark?
Yeah, I know it's typical,
but it really does scare me.
Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for,
to talk about your deepest fears.
-[chuckles]
-Okay.
Consultant and all that.
-Yeah. Look at that.
-Absolutely, it's confidential, please.
It’s like a free consultation
and everything.
Well, since it’s your first time,
-it’s going to be free. Yes.
-Mm-hmm. Okay.
-So, please… [inhales]
-[Marga chuckling]
-…tell me.
-[Marga] Mm-hmm.
When was the first time you started
feeling all of this?
-Tell me.
-That’s a good question.
-You mean, when was the first time…
-[Martín] Mm-hmm.
-…I was afraid of the dark, hmm?
-[Martín] Hmm.
I think it started when my parents
kicked me out of their room.
-I mean, I was about five years old.
-[Martín] Uh-huh. Yeah.
I’m an only child,
and I slept in their bed
with them until then.
And obviously, you can imagine
the tantrum I threw.
I kept going back to their room every day,
over and over again,
and nothing I could do or say
would change their minds
to let me stay. Like…
-Okay, yeah, that's it. That's enough.
-[Martín] What?
Too much of a confession for a first date.
No, no, w… wait, hold on.
So, are you a… an only child?
-Uh-huh.
-S… so that explains a lot, then.
-[Marga] Okay, Martín, stop!
-[Martín] No, I mean it.
[Marga] Enough with your therapist talk,
come on.
[Martín] No, no, first of all,
thank you for your trust and for sharing
-all of this with me.
-[Marga] Yes, but no…
[Martín] But I practically… No, no, no.
It's just that I…
-Okay.
-[chuckles]
-Hey, thanks so much, I had a great time.
-[chuckles softly] Mm-hmm.
Well, despite all the setbacks
you put us through, I had a great time.
I promise I won't spill anything
on you again.
-[laughs]
-[laughs] I didn't mean it. [sighs]
-All right.
-Well, uh.
Bye.
Uh, do you want to come up?
Mm.
I mean, I don’t get the obsession
with putting cilantro
on absolutely everything.
I can’t stand cilantro.
Uh-huh, and what else do you hate?
Mm.
Mm. Meringue. It makes me throw up.
-You seriously hate meringue? Really?
-Yeah, yeah. Disgusting.
-[Martín] Wow, crazy.
-Hmm.
And what else?
[chews, sucks finger]
-I mean…
-Mm?
[smacks lips] Do you wanna know
all my secrets or what?
-Tell me, yes.
-I can't tell you all my secrets.
-Why not?
-What if you run away?
[soft instrumental music playing]
[inhales shakily]
-[Marga moaning]
-[Martín inhaling]
Whoa, whoa, I'm good, I'm good.
-[moans]
-[objects clatter]
[both panting]
Let me, let me. Yes.
[groans] Need help?
-Oh…
-It's just… I don't want to break them.
There you go. That's easier.
There it is. There it is.
That's it. Hold on. Try that. There we go.
-Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
-[Martín] What?
Wear a condom. Hey. Wear a condom.
Oh no, are you one of those people
who doesn’t use them?
-No, no, no, it's… No, no.
-No, no--
-I didn't bring one. It's just--
-You didn't bring one?
-Um, no, no…
-Wait…
I didn't think it would be, well,
I didn't imagine it would go like this.
So, what did you think
was going to happen?
Just eat canapés and that’s it?
-[sighs]
-Wait, take it easy, look.
-Ta-da!
-[chuckles]
[condom packet rustling]
-[sighs]
-[chuckles]
-Oh! [chuckles, laughs]
-[laughs, smooches]
-[pants, kisses]
-[pants, kisses]
[movers speaking indistinctly]
-[mover 1] Pardon, young man.
-[mover 2] Rough night?
[mover 1] Help me with this.
[mover 2] We'll be right back
for the others. Ugh, it's heavy.
-[groans softly, sighs]
-[movers speaking indistinctly]
-[mover 1] What's up? Good morning.
-[sighs] Morning.
[movers speaking indistinctly]
-[Marga] Come in, come in.
-Oh, morning. [exhales, sniffs]
[mover 1] Excuse me, young man. Excuse me.
-Hey! [sighs] Hi.
-Oh, good morning. Mm.
Yeah, good morning, afternoon. All right.
-Do… do you need help?
-Mm. Eh, no. Eh, some coffee.
-Take it.
-[chuckles] Thank you.
[Marga] Remember I told you yesterday
that I was moving?
[inhales sharply]
We all have to leave now. Yeah.
[stutters] Oh, so the moving thing
was serious. [chuckles]
I thought you lived like this,
with boxes everywhere.
-[laughs] How funny.
-[Martín laughs]
[Marga]
Uh, sorry for rushing you like this,
but it's just that, look.
Well, I don’t know what time it is, but…
Yeah. Yeah, all right.
Um, I mean, I need to go
rescue my car anyway, so…
-Ah!
-Yeah. Uh…
-Super, perfect. [chuckles] All right.
-[chuckles]
Will we see each other again?
Yeah. I mean, I’d have to see.
Chill, serious, like you said, right?
Um, well…
-Um, well. [kisses]
-[Martín] Yeah. Yeah.
-[sighs]
-Mm-hmm.
[mover 1] Where do you live, miss?
Hey, brother, a favor.
Can you help us take down the mattress?
[mover 1 speaking indistinctly]
-[mover 3] Ready, boss?
-Got it, right?
Carefully. Wait.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
These stairs, be careful.
Hold on, hold on. [groans]
-There. Ready, right? Is that everything?
-[mover 3] Yeah, yeah, thanks.
[movers speaking indistinctly]
-[mover 1] Sorry, boss.
-[sighs]
[gentle instrumental music playing]
[birds chirping]
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Martín] Jimmy!
-[Jaime] Oh, what's up, Martínillo?
-All good. Yeah.
-[Martín] How're you doing?
-Yeah, yeah. See you later.
-Fine.
Listen, guys, you can't use the elevator
to carry anything.
-Says who?
-Use the stairs,
and no scraping the walls.
Oh, this feels so good. [hums softly]
-What's up, dude? [chuckles]
-Dude, you scared me.
-What are you doing, how are you?
-So, what's up? How did it go?
[sighs] I loved it. [laughs]
Yeah, dude, it’s been a long time
since I connected with someone like that.
-So, it was amazing.
-It’s just that you got some ass,
and that’s what you needed, dude.
And she felt the same?
She, well, I think she likes me.
Uh, the only thing is, there’s a catch.
Uh, she doesn’t like commitment,
and I, foolishly,
said I wanted something serious. So--
-Wait… You want serious?
-[Martín] Well, I got excited.
I thought that’s what she wanted to hear,
so that’s what I told her.
Look, Martín, to find something serious,
you need to take yourself seriously first.
-Mm, Be careful.
-[Paty] Hurry up, Trini.
-Go ahead.
-Oh, hi. Yes. It's a nice day.
What do you mean, nice?
It’ll be a nice day
when that rat of a thief gets locked up
once and for all.
-[clears throat] Just thief.
-[Paty] What's that?
I mean, we don't know if it's a man,
a woman, cis, trans, I'm just saying.
-[Trini] What's wrong with this boy?
-[Paty] Hey, Jaime.
Yeah, what can I do?
It turns out we have cis, trans people
in the building now?
Oh, I don’t know, Ms. Paty,
I’m just the administrator.
I can’t be everywhere.
STOP DELIVERY THEFT !!!
IF YOU KNOW WHO'S STEALING,
REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.
-Do I smell?
-A little bit.
They looked at me really weird,
but, well, it was amazing, honestly.
-[sighs]
-[chuckles softly]
[Noni over phone]
Marga, I'm just staring at the ceiling,
come on, focus up.
Oh, mom, there’s nothing to see.
I mean, it’s all full of boxes.
It’s going to look horrible like this.
Look.
[Noni] Well, I want to see whatever
is to be seen.
L… let’s see,
just straighten it up, sweetie.
Yes. It's really nice, but enough.
I'll show it to you again
when it's all decorated.
No, show it to me, show it to me.
-[doorbell ringing]
-[gasps]
Oh, I need to go, Mom. Kari is here.
Ask… ask her if her mom can come play
canasta with me on Wednesday.
-Bye.
-[sighs]
[soft melodic music playing]
[Kari] Breathe, breathe. [inhales deeply]
It smells great, you have a terrace.
-What terrace? It's a balcony, dude.
-All right, balcony.
-[Marga] Yes, I'm happy. [chuckles]
-Awesome, right?
-Well, and you?
-Look at this.
How did it go with the moto daddy?
Tell me.
-The moto daddy?
-Yeah.
Oh, good, yeah, very good.
Um, he told me
it was going to be a chill day.
Yeah, he took me
to Cuernavaca on his bike, right?
-Okay.
-At 130 miles per hour,
but, well, he didn't bother to mention
that you get off the bike
on the left side, not on the right.
-You didn't know either?
-No.
-I didn't know either. Look.
-[Marga] What?
-[Kari] It was awful.
-[Marga gasps]
Kari, but, come on,
and you were dressed like a biker
as if you know exactly
how to ride a motorcycle and--
Are you serious? A little empathy here.
Look. It looks like a salami, girl.
-I almost lost my leg.
-No! Oh, it's terrible, hold on,
I'll put some mustard on it.
No, no. Not mustard, no, no. No.
-[Marga] Yeah, I'll put mustard on it.
-You have no idea how much it burns.
-Mustard is very good.
-Marga, I don't want mus--
No, I don't want mustard.
No. Hold it, close that.
-[sighs]
-No, you have no idea how much this burns.
Instead, you tell me.
How did it go with the editor?
Did you kiss? Dude, did you fuck him?
Your eyes are dilated from fucking.
-[chuckles]
-You did fuck.
-How was it?
-The whole package, amazing.
[sighs]
I mean, you know those times that feel,
well, very familiar, like…
[sighs] Yeah, I liked it. It was good.
Oh, girl, it sounds like
you actually like this one, see?
I… I mean, yeah, it was very special,
but… [hesitates] …I don’t know,
-I don’t know.
-Mm. But what?
-No. Enough.
-Oh, I know, you’re not ready,
-you’re too busy, you don’t have time.
-Oh, yeah.
-Marga.
-What?
Dude! And?
When will you see each other again?
Well, I don’t know. Also…
-Look, he hasn’t even texted me. I mean--
-Text him yourself.
It’s that easy. Dude, love is like coffee.
-No, no, no.
-No, if it gets cold, it's ruined.
-Seriously, text him. Text him.
-No, no. I'll wait for him to text me
-because right now…
-[Kari sighs]
…I'm too anxious
to send a message myself.
You know what?
Let's make a toast.
-What?
-Let’s toast to… a little more.
-To love requited…
-[Marga chuckles]
…like yours, and failed,
like my salami leg.
Uh, let’s toast to your apartment.
-Look at that.
-[Marga] Oh, I know.
-[Esmeralda yelling] No, no, no! Stop!
-What's that?
-[Esmeralda screaming]
-[Kari] Do you know the neighbors?
It's in that apartment, right?
-Yeah, dude.
-What’s up?
That sounds very aggressive, right?
[Kari] What’s going on?
There’s a girl in there, right?
-[Esmeralda] Please!
-[glass shattering]
-Oh! What the fuck?
-That was her, right? That was her!
What is that noise?
[police siren wailing]
[police officer over phone]
Police department, what's your emergency?
[upbeat dramatic music playing]
[police officers shouting indistinctly]
-Oh, so many cops!
-What's going on?
For the rat.
[police officer 1] Hands up, nobody move!
Hey, hey! Calm down! What’s going on,
what’s happening? No, I’m fine!
-Special forces, hands up! Stay still!
-Hold on, please. Please.
[police officer 2]
What about the fighting?
Fighting?
[stutters] Sir, Martín
is a really good person
-I think all of this is a mistake.
-I'm an editor.
He’s the editor, officer,
of Esmeralda, the Color of Passion.
You don't say.
-I love you both, please!
-[pants]
[Martín] Here comes the part
where the glass breaks. See?
-I think that’s what you heard.
-[police officer 2] Yes.
Excuse me, and if it’s not too much
to ask, who’s going to pay for the lock?
[police officer 2] Jesus, well…
-[Martín] I mean, since it was a mix-up.
-I apologize.
-Excuse me!
-I mean, I-- Someone needs to pay for it.
[police officer 2] Excuse me!
No, really. I mean,
I’m serious about this.
Because nothing actually happened.
Nobody's kidnapped.
Just someone pay me for the lock.
Excuse me, sir,
if it’s not too much to ask,
could you at least tell me
who called this in?
-[Marga gasping]
-What? Are there bodies?
-Worse. [sighs]
-[Kari] What?
You won’t believe who my neighbor is.
No, I don't know, I don't know.
Harry Styles?
-[exhales]
