[keys jangling]
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
[breathes deeply]
Uh, I--
I'm the one
who broke up with him, so no,
I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine.
I don't need you to come over
and comfort me or…
or anything like that.
-No…
-Uh… [sighs]
…believe me,
that wasn't my intention. No.
So, what are you planning to do
with his stuff?
Well, give them back to him. [chuckles]
-Marga…
-[Marga sighs]
-[breathes shakily]
-[Martín] Marga.
What?
I don't know, it's just…
you were off the grid, you dumped the guy
-you were going to move in with.
-[sighs]
[Martín] Are you okay?
Uh, is something wrong?
[breathes deeply] Pablo only cared about…
[chuckles] …the idea of me,
but my dreams really got in his way.
-And you, more than anyone…
-[sighs]
…know how hard it's been for me
to get that venue up and running.
-Yeah, you're absolutely right.
-[Marga] Uh-huh.
Basically, our lives wouldn't be the same
without that venue.
[Marga chuckles]
[Martín] So, here I am.
Uh, tell me how I can help you.
-What do we do?
-[sniffles]
Well, I'd have to come up
-with some kind of strategy.
-[Martín] Uh-huh.
And maybe you could help me
organize the paperwork.
-[Martín] Of course!
-Thank you.
You know we've always made a great team,
-so you can count on me.
-[chuckles]
-[Martín chuckles]
-[sniffles] All right.
-Hey, but…
-[Martín] Hmm.
…first I really need you
to… to tell me everything.
Everything about what?
Everything I've been asking you
to tell me, Martín, about the ticket.
-You're just playing dumb.
-Oh, right, the…
[sighs] The ticket, yeah.
Do you remember
our last dinner before… before the trip?
-Yeah.
-[music concludes]
-[breathes deeply]
-[soft music playing]
I had pretty much everything ready.
The flowers, the candles, the wine.
Then you showed up with that smile,
all happy… [chuckles]
…and I was planning…
to invite you to come with me
to Los Angeles, to start a new life there…
but…
I just got off the phone,
and they told me
I'm going to have three events
-at the same time at that venue!
-Three?
-Three! [laughs]
-Wow! Please.
I didn't want to be selfish.
You were getting flooded with work.
I know how much it took for you
to get to that point,
all the things you fought for.
So, I couldn't take
that moment away from you.
[sighs]
[Martín] A really great job.
I know I told you I was leaving,
but I didn't tell you for how long.
I also didn't tell you that…
that I wanted you to come
with me to Los Angeles.
I messed it all up.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-That's it.
-[sniffles]
BETWEEN WALLS
[chuckles] Wow.
I can't believe your tax address
is still your parents' house.
-[chuckles]
-[sighs]
All right, enough, okay?
I mean, look, I wasn't expecting that
when I came back,
you'd already be
about to get married. Again, in fact.
If you had told me from the start
you were only leaving for six months,
believe me, I'd have waited for you.
But what did you expect,
that I'd stay here like a lovesick puppy…
-[Martín] No.
-…not knowing what was going on with you?
No, no, no. But I don't know.
I mean, it's not like
you wasted your time, right?
I need you to find
the articles of incorporation.
-[Martín] Sure.
-That's the only thing missing.
[mouse clicks]
-We've got a venue to get back.
-[soothing music playing]
[Martín] Are you sure
you've got everything?
Because bureaucracy
can get really tricky, you know?
-[indistinct chatter]
-So, how do we do this?
-Do I get in line and grab the number or--
-What hurts the most
is that you didn't include me
in a decision that concerned both of us.
I mean, you just decided
our future all on your own.
What balls.
No, no, no, look, Marga,
it wasn't like that.
I regretted my stupidity afterward,
and a lot, believe me.
-Hmm.
-In fact, I was this close
-to telling you, yeah.
-Well, if you had told me,
-things would've been different, right?
-I don't think so.
-What?
-You know what?
-[Marga] Huh?
-Let's talk somewhere else.
Right now, this isn't the time, okay?
-If--
-No. Look, stop beating around the bush
and just tell me like it is.
-Don't worry. Would you like a coffee?
-[Marga] Yes. Thank you.
[Martín] First, I went to your apartment,
I called you, left you messages.
Then I went to look for you…
and well, I saw you with him,
having coffee.
Did you really think
that I'd do something like that to you?
[scoffs]
[Pablo] Look, uh…
[Marga] He was offering me a mega event,
even though I ghosted him.
No, but I clearly saw
you were having an incredible time.
AIR NATION
-[Marga] No. But don't get so close to me.
-Uh, well,
-I just need to see with…
-[chuckles, sniffles] One second.
Martín…
at that time, I was…
-[sighs]
-…very much in love with you.
[gentle music playing]
Of course,
I wasn't interested in anyone else.
-[Angelita] Number 128 B.
-Really?
-[Angelita] Number 128 B.
-Me, me, me, me!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
-Hi, Angelita! [chuckles]
-[sighs]
Excuse me. [clears throat]
[Normita] Now, your situation
is really complicated, Marga.
-[sighs]
-[Angelita] Look, according to the report,
there has been
an improvement, uh,
especially in the fire extinguishers,
signage and humidity control.
-[Normita] But noise is the biggest issue.
-[Angelita] Uh-huh.
And to be honest,
that's still not sorted out.
-Who shut you down?
-Uh. Rosendo.
You know what? Let me see if he's around
and try to convince him to meet with you.
Oh, yes, Normita, please.
Hey. Has that guy back there
been here before?
-Martín? It's his first time here.
-Oh, he looks familiar.
-[Philip] I need you to come over…
-But--
-… right now.
-Right now?
-[Philip] What's more important…
-Uh.
-…than your career as a chef?
-[Martín] No. I… I really can't right now.
Wait. Here he comes.
I don't know how you're gonna do it,
-but you will convince him.
-[gasps] Yeah? Thanks. Uh.
-How are you, Rosendo? Good to see you.
-Don't be stubborn, miss.
-[chuckles]
-It's already shut down,
so at this point,
there's nothing we can do.
Uh, look… [chuckles] …listen,
um, excuse my foolishness,
but I was thinking
that, maybe, you needed something, right?
And I don't know, maybe I could,
uh, provide it for you,
and we could come
to an… an agreement,
-right?
-Hey, Marga, Marga, come over here.
-Hey, what are you doing?
-What? That's what you told me.
No. It sounds like you're trying
to bribe him with sex.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don't think that
this is an indecent proposal.
No, gross, gross.
I… I mean, not that you're gross.
What I meant to say is it's more like a…
-an exchange of-- I mean-- No.
-Well, in a nutshell,
-what my partner means is that…
-Yeah. Yeah.
…I don't know, maybe you, I mean, uh,
might be interested
in a little something extra.
Are you the chef from the video?
My mom adores you.
You know,
she's cooking better than ever now,
-and it's thanks to watching you.
-[chuckles]
-[Mauricio chuckles]
-Uh.
-That's… That's great. [chuckles]
-Yes.
-[chuckles] Look.
-[cell phone beeps]
As always, the main ingredient is love.
-A poet. A poet.
-Yes.
Oh, wow, why is my dad there?
-Are you the daughter of Alfonso and Noni?
-Yes.
-[gasps]
-You're so lucky,
-you're so lucky! Look at her.
-Well,
now that we're familiar
with one another, do you think that,
well, I don't know,
you could give us a hand,
help us out and check the venue again?
We promise everything will be in order.
Everything. In… in fact, you know what?
How about we throw a dinner in your honor
with… with recipes from Chef Martín?
-[Normita] Ooh, I love the idea!
-[Angelita] Yes, yes, me too.
-Yeah!
-We have one, two, Mr. Nacho,
-four, five, six!
-[Marga] Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
-Whoever you want.
-Excuse me. May I invite my mom?
-Absolutely!
-Oh, of course, yes. In fact,
-she's going to be our guest of honor.
-Whoever you'd like!
And will Mr. Alfonso be there, too?
Yes, and my mom will be there, too.
-She'll be there.
-[Angelita chuckles]
Oh, how lovely.
-[Martín groans]
-[laughs]
[smooches] Hey,
I've missed being here, you know?
-[smooches, moans]
-[Marga moans]
-Hey…
-Hmm.
…so, is this my reward for doing so good?
-[chuckles]
-Hmm?
-Exactly.
-Hold on. [breathes deeply]
-[chuckles]
-[laughs] There we go.
-Hey!
-[Martín] What?
[Marga] Oh, you’re a bit more squishy
here, aren’t you?
-Oh, well, you know that being a chef…
-[Marga] This tummy.
[laughs] …has its advantages
and disadvantages.
-But did you exercise out there or--
-Well, it's just that, you know,
lifting and everything, that…
-You feel firmer.
-[Martín smooches] A bit, a bit.
[moans]
And now, with me,
becoming a very famous chef, huh?
-You'll be a famous chef. [chuckles]
-[Martín chuckles]
[soothing music playing]
-[chuckles] Well, go call her.
-Mm-mm.
She'll freak out when she sees you.
-Seriously?
-[laughs] Let's see.
[Kari] Girl! What's up?
Look at this wild place
Jimmy brought me to. Let me show you.
-Look.
-[Marga] What's that?
-Where are you? Did you see?
-[Martín] Wow, yeah!
-[Marga chuckles]
-No! They're already my friends and all.
[chuckles] And who's there?
Is it Martín,
or has this stuff already hit me?
-What's up, Kari?
-[Kari] What's up? Jimmy!
-[Martín chuckles] Is…
-What? Who's that?
-Look who's there! Hi!
-Hey, look who is it,
good, old Martínillo, always so romantic.
It was about time, buddy, huh?
But what's with you two, huh?
You're not falling behind.
-Just look at that.
-Yeah, what the hell?
What can I say? No job, but living it up.
Girl, that's exactly what I want
to talk to you about, you know?
Because guess what?
We just got the inspector
to give us another chance.
Hey, how did you manage that?
What great news! [chuckles]
I mean, it turns out Martín
is an influencer now.
That's right, it's true!
Do you remember the video
-Patrisha showed me?
-Yes.
What, so everyone knew but me?
Well, it's just that real friends met him
when he was still a nobody, you know?
-Yes.
-Okay, Kari, Kari,
listen to me for a second.
It’s very important
that we fix that venue up to perfection.
All right, you can count on that, girl,
no problem. I've gotta go
-because the train is leaving. Bye!
-[crowd cheering]
-[uplifting music playing]
-[alarm ringing]
[groans]
[Alafita] Dear applicant, we are pleased
to inform you that you have been accepted!
-What? Yeah!
-[gasps]
-There! There, there!
-Ooh, ooh, ooh!
-That's it, Alafita…
-What's going on?
-…you made it! Yeah.
-He's in, he's in, he's in!
Oh, I dreamed you were cutting your bangs.
Oh, shut up!
[birds chirping]
-Son of a bitch! [pants]
-[music concludes[
-[oven beeps]
-Voila!
Just look at this.
Here on your favorite show,
A Bite to Fall in Love.
As we all know,
in cooking and in relationships,
there has to be a certain something.
What do I know? What do you know?
Something that makes us
want more, much more.
Awesome. Awesome.
What… what… what happened?
Oh, I don't know.
I just feel very strange.
We should find another tone
-for my content.
-[Alfonso] No. No. No. No.
This… this is how it is.
Look, my sister-in-law,
who doesn't even know you,
already calls you "The Chef of Love."
-[Martín chuckles]
-And sighs when she sees you.
-It made you viral.
-It's just the way I feel. Look.
No, come on, just listen to me.
I'm the producer. The bottle of wine.
-Come on.
-[sighs] Yeah, all right,
-uh…
-Three, two, one. Action.
-[phone beeps]
-[sensual music playing]
And what better way to pair love
than with a good Argentine wine
from Finca Valente?
-[sniffs]
-[knocking on door]
-Awesome. Who's that?
-[sighs]
-Uh, can you give me a hand?
-Yes. Yes.
-But will they pay us for the wine or not?
-Yes, well, you were handling sponsorship,
-right?
-But don’t go eating them
-on your own, okay?
-No, no, no.
-[clicks tongue]
-[Alfonso] Hold it there.
-[knocking on door]
-[Alfonso] I'm coming.
-[door opening]
-[Nacho] Hi.
[Alfonso] Come in. Come in.
-[Martín] What's up, Nacho? [chuckles]
-[Alfonso] Look who's here.
[Martín] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a miracle, huh?
And what brings you here?
What's the occasion?
Wow.
I wanted to catch you red-handed.
I see you're being unfaithful,
working for others.
Oh, no, it's just something for me,
you know?
I'm making cooking videos now.
-Uh, yeah.
-Okay. What you didn't tell me
is that you like being in front
of the camera.
Hmm. He's a natural, he was born for this.
Yeah, I mean, it's more like hunger
-is a bitch, you know, and…
-[Alfonso] Oh, yes.
…that's why I'm kind of improvising a bit
on the fly and, well,
here I am.
-[Alfonso] Hmm.
-I have a proposal for you.
-[Alfonso] Uh-huh.
-Is he your partner?
-Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's my partner.
-[Alfonso] Yeah. We're partners. Yes.
I see. Take a look.
-Bring it.
-Let's see.
-Yeah, yeah. Here.
-Settle in.
I think the best part
is that the acoustic foam
is now inside the wall.
So, all that's left
is to finish patching it up,
and that's it. I mean--
Oh, we put double glazing on the windows.
So… [inhales deeply]
…well, that's all. What do you think?
-Incredible, right? Now, it's ready.
-Oh, yeah.
-[Marga chuckles]
-Uh.
-Excuse me, I'm going to get my mom.
-Okay.
[wistful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
This is the final touch.
Thank you, Chef.
You look just like you do on TV.
-On the Internet, Mom.
-Oh, where are you interning?
-Internet!
-Oh, whatever, I see him on TV.
Thank you very much for the support
and well, welcome and enjoy, okay?
-Thank you so much.
-Make yourselves at home.
Well, enjoy and welcome, okay? Excuse me.
-I see that.
-Hello.
-[Normita] I'm your fan, your fan.
-Oh, the star
-of the day!
-[Normita] I told you already. Your fan!
-Thank you.
-[chuckles]
Yes. And what about your producer?
Do you think he'd like to sit here?
Hey, I recommend
that you stop looking at him.
-Hmm.
-You know, since,
it's just, he came with someone.
-[chuckles]
-[Noni chuckles]
[glass clinking]
Hello. Uh, well, Mr. Rosendo,
-you have no idea how grateful we are…
-Yes.
…for allowing us to open this grand venue.
-[chuckles]
-Literally, you are our hero.
-Oh.
-[laughs]
I'm sorry, technically,
you still don't have the permit.
You have such a noble, kind heart.
Truly, you didn't clip our wings.
No, sir, on the contrary,
you gave us feathers to fly.
So, we genuinely appreciate your support.
-To dreams!
-[crowd cheers]
Well, and speaking
of… of dreams and new beginnings,
I want to tell you that all the neighbors
pitched in to buy this.
And… and this is for you, Alafita,
-for university.
-[crowd cheers]
-Awesome, thank you!
-Come on, Alafita!
Oh, I want to raise a toast to Lauro
because he taught us the virtue
of being stubborn
and the importance of going out
into the world to fulfill our dreams.
-Right?
-[Martín] Yeah.
Well, and as good old Lauro would say…
[all] Son of a bitch!
[all laugh]
What's up, big guy? What's going on?
We're all celebrating upstairs.
-Come on, come on.
-Big guy, big guy, big guy.
-What?
-Uh.
We have a space problem.
What? What are you talk--
No, no, Ramiro, I'm sorry.
Everything I did,
I already told you was wrong and…
-Yeah, no, no. Hold on a second.
-…forgive me for everything I said…
-No, no.
-…and did I'm sorry, I swear that I--
I love the routine
we've built over these months,
but I want you to be happy. too.
Okay, so what are we doing
outside Lauro's place then?
Well, I thought you didn't have to share
with Martín anymore,
now that he's all cuddled up with Marga.
-Really?
-Yes.
[chuckles]
Did you really rent Lauro's place?
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]
But I just need you to promise one thing,
that you'll respect our alone time,
but most importantly,
that you'll respect our time together.
I never want to feel like I'm a burden
in your life, okay, Ramiro?
You'll never be a burden. I love you.
-Me too. [moans]
-[moans]
I'm holding a strong hand,
so I'm raising the stakes.
And well, yes, Lauro's place was empty,
so I'm moving in.
Martín, starting next month,
you're officially back to being alone.
Oh, look, you finally
got your shit together, Claudio.
-Oh, don't be an ass.
-[all laugh]
No, look, dude,
I'm really gonna miss you, you know?
But what I'll miss the most
are the towels strewn on the floor
and that cottage cheese smell
every morning.
[all laugh]
-Use deodorant.
-I'm not that messy, you fuckers.
Well, since we're being honest
and sharing news,
I'm gonna be on TV.
-That's awesome, man, congratulations!
-[Martín] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, dude, congratulations, for real.
I mean, you managed to work
toward what you love
and well, who could do that?
Yes, that's right, Alafita, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, honestly,
I'm really happy and…
Oh, am I really fulfilling all my dreams?
-[gentle music playing]
-[laughs]
[chuckles] Do you wanna order wings?
-No. No.
-Again?
-No, no.
-Yes.
Enough already, Marga, please.
-[chuckles]
-Don't you see how it starts?
First, it's wings, then pizza,
-a cheeseburger.
-Oh, yummy.
All right. Look, just give me a minute
-and I'll cook you something.
-No!
-Yeah, let me cook for you.
-No, no, no.
-[chuckles] All right.
-You won't go anywhere.
You stay right here.
-Okay, it's a deal. All right.
-Don't go.
No, no, no. Who said I wanted to leave?
-Hey.
-What?
[sighs] I don't know.
Have you noticed
that we haven't been apart in weeks?
-Mm-hmm.
-Not even to take a shower.
Like, never. [chuckles]
Don't you like showering with me anymore
-or what?
-No, no, no, wait.
[sighs] I don't know,
I feel like… [clears throat]
-Awkward pause.
-No. That…
Well, that we could live together,
that's it.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. You mean…
Uh-huh.
Uh, we're practically living together.
What more do you want?
I don't know, we could make it official.
-Uh, take the next step.
-[gentle music playing]
Okay.
Okay.
-Okay! [laughs]
-[Martín laughs] Okay!
But, Marga, are you sure?
I don't want you to run out that door
tomorrow all afraid, of…
-Afraid of what? Huh?
-Well, I don't know.
[moans]
-[inhales] I don't know.
-Afraid of what?
-Okay. Okay.
-Yeah, yeah.
-The worst is over.
-Mm-hmm.
-So, there's nothing to be afraid of.
-Nothing.
What could go wrong, hmm?
[indistinct chatter]
Well, the building is really nice,
and we have an apartment
-on the second floor.
-[Silvana sighs]
Shall we have a look? Uh, Mrs. Rodríguez.
Fridman, I just got divorced.
-Shall we? [chuckles]
-[in English] Divine!
[real estate agent in Spanish] Yeah.
Well, you're going to love the terrace.
-[Silvana] I love the color blue.
-[real estate agent] Oh, me too.
[outro music playing]
[music concludes]
