Love You to Death (2025) s01e03 Episode Script
The Art of Advertising
1
The case that I'm presenting today
is that of a young man,
30 years old,
and he was recently diagnosed
A RARE MALIGNANT HEART TUMOR
CARDIAC ANGIOSARCOMA
with angiosarcoma of the heart.
If you get anxious or anything,
go ahead and push that button, okay?
Got it.
[doctor] We completed the diagnosis
using an EKG, a CAT scan, an MRI,
cardiac catheterization and a biopsy.
- [MRI beeps]
- You all right in there?
I'm fine. I just I wanna make sure
that that it's working right.
Yes, it works. You just relax.
Okay. I'm sorry, okay?
- All good.
- All right.
After informing the patient,
it was then proposed
that he should have open-heart surgery
as it would be the best method
of removing the tumor,
based on its characteristics.
And after that, we began pre-op testing.
[MRI beeps]
- Yes? What is it?
- Question. This is safe, right?
- Yes, it is, completely.
- A hundred percent?
Yes, it's all good.
And you're behind
all that bulletproof glass?
As you can see,
this procedure is quite aggressive.
- [MRI beeps]
- Now what's the problem?
I'm a little anxious.
And I wasn't earlier. It's just I am now.
In other words,
there's an extreme risk that it fails
And the patient doesn't survive it.
Extreme risk you wouldn't survive it?
You didn't tell me that. Hey.
I mean, 60% maybe.
The nurse told me that it was like 70%.
[Edu] Dude, I had it in my head as 60.
I guess because 60 is more or less 50.
And, shit, dude,
50 is really not that bad.
- Fifty's glass half full, essentially.
- But you said 70% was good.
On what fucking planet is 70 good, Raúl?
Seriously?
Don't yell. This is embarrassing enough.
I didn't say anything in percentages.
I'm not a fan of talking in those terms.
So, then, is it better?
No, no, no, no. I wouldn't say that.
There's a probable margin.
Man, this guy's frigid.
Do you see how cold he is?
Look, I understand your frustration,
but try to get my position.
I deliver awful news every single day.
I get you, man. I'm sure it's not easy
for you to do all day, every day.
Telling all your patients
"cancer this," "cancer that," whatever.
Which is why you had to build up
this icy exterior.
I mean, a robot
has more emotional intelligence.
I bet when you get home from work at night
and throw down all your things,
- you're all, "Honey, it's me!"
- Actually, I'm divorced.
And suddenly everything
you dealt with all day hits you.
Yelling and tears.
"I should've cut there and not here!"
- "Why couldn't I have saved that kid?"
- I don't work with children.
Honestly, your job must really suck.
- Are you finished? Hmm?
- Yeah.
We'll be operating within a week
at the latest, Raúl, all right?
- Within a week?
- Well, hey, a week is plenty of time.
There's a whole bunch of stuff, Raúl,
that we we can do.
Isn't that right, doctor?
And we can just list it all down.
- Yes. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll just totally pack your schedule
so there's no time
to think about, you know,
much at all, right?
You obviously haven't read any
of the psychological support brochures,
so I'll give you some more, okay?
Sure, great, more brochures.
You're clearly not paying to get those.
Just try to stay calm.
The lists are a good idea.
But I'd advise you spend time
with your loved ones.
It's important psychologically.
I imagine you told everyone close to you?
- Your parents, your siblings and all?
- Hmm, I'm an only child.
And my mother I was trying
to find the right time to tell her.
- Well, that's all your choice.
- [Raúl] Yeah. Yeah, I know.
- You have one week.
- [Edu] It's all good.
Your friends are the family you choose,
and you're more than set with me, dude.
And we'll stay positive, you know?
We can beat this thing.
- Thanks a lot, doc. Huh?
- That's it?
Let's go. Yeah.
Grab those brochures. Let's bounce.
- Man alive.
- Thank you.
["TIK TAK",
David Menéndez López]
LOVE YOU TO DEATH
[Ana] I'll see you next week, then, okay?
You really don't need
to come in every week.
Yep, got it, but I'll see you next week.
Marta?
Hey! [chuckles] Hey, sis. How's it goin'?
Why are you here?
I, uh I got a, you know, an STD.
I mean, I've got, um, uh, warts
on my, uh, well, all over, you know.
I mean, it's like I'm having a party
in in my underwear.
It's spicy. Like it's Taco Tuesday.
Someone poured two liters of Tabasco
in this vagina.
- You know? It's
- Marta Martínez?
Yes, yeah.
Why don't we go see
how your little chickpea's doing.
Eee! [chuckles]
"Chickpea!" Did you hear that?
She's got a nickname for my warts.
Seriously, "Little chickpeas." It's
Like I was making curry.
Just one second. Ana? Ana! Ana!
You wanna stop making me
chase you in the streets?
I'm only going slow
to let you win, you know.
Are you pregnant?
You were gonna abort it
and not tell me at all?
No. I wasn't gonna abort it.
- For now, okay?
- Well, why not tell me anything?
'Cause I didn't wanna talk about it,
or need to think about it,
discuss it even.
What's to discuss if you know
you don't want a kid, though?
- Or you want a kid?
- I don't know yet, Ana.
I'm not sure, you know?
But it could very well
be my last chance to be a mother.
Marta, you can't have a kid
because you feel like time is running out.
- That's not the deal.
- Oh, no? Really?
- No, it really isn't.
- What is the deal, then?
Tell me what it is.
Because my entire life you've been saying
to grow up and be serious.
Now I might do this,
but that's not it either?
Marta, you either want it or you don't.
Like I know what I want, Ana!
What are you saying?
I don't even know what underwear to put on
every morning or what I'm gonna eat!
PRO-LIFE NATIONAL MARCH
- I don't have to know it all.
- Just relax, okay?
I was just saying that if you decided
not to, that I'd support you. That was it.
No, no, I don't want your support.
Well, I really don't care if you do
or not. I'm supporting you either way.
Of course, all of us are here to help you.
It's not your only option.
No, it's not your only option,
but it's the best one.
You know what, Ana? I don't think you're
"supporting." You wanna argue with me.
But you came here to abort it.
What are you saying?
I'm here to get some information.
I came to inform myself.
And here's all the information you need
about life and and how to defend it.
Right. The information that I need.
The information I need.
"We pray for the end"
Wait. What the fuck is this shit?
It's no simple thing
to discard a human life.
I get it. No matter how tiny it is, right?
Uh, all right. [chuckles]
Why don't we just stop right here?
I'm giving you three seconds
to leave my sister alone. Do you hear me?
Because, as you can see, I'm pregnant.
[chuckles]
And I can assure you,
you don't wanna make me angry.
Because I'm like a fucking time bomb
waiting to go off. Got it?
It's been three months
since I've seen my own two feet, okay?
I'm in pain taking a shit,
or sitting or standing.
I have stretch marks, cellulite.
My ass is enormous.
My tits are also enormous.
And my very soul aches.
And I swear on my baby's life,
the one that's in here right now,
that won't even let me breathe,
that all of this rage that I got,
I'm gonna take it and give you
the Hadouken of your lives.
I swear I'll birth this fucking baby
that's sucking my life out of me
in in the middle of the prison yard!
Are we clear about that?
- Forgive me.
- And fuck off, motherfucker!
- [sighs] Please, can we speak calmly?
- Well, I gotta go to work.
- You're going to work now?
- Yes, I work all day, every day.
- Marta. Marta.
- You know that.
- No, you need to go home and think.
- I'll think at work.
[sighs]
What part of "fuck off"
wasn't clear to you?
- Yes, ma'am. We're going, we're going.
- [line ringing]
"CANCER IS NO
A SOLITARY JOURNEY"
WE HEAR YOU
CALL US WHENEVER YOU NEED
[line ringing, clicks]
- [clerk] Hello, good morning.
- Hi.
Can I come in to get support this week?
- We don't have anything until next month.
- Wait. When?
No, no, I need to come in this week.
I'm positive, yeah.
Are you serious?
No, no, I can't wait that long.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, listen, I get it.
I do. I understand.
But wait a minute.
I'm not I mean, you're
Would you mind calling back next month?
Uh
All right. Yeah. Sorry.
- I'll call back another time, then.
- Thank you so much.
Or not.
[sighs]
I'm Raúl from the funeral home.
Wanna hang out today?
"Wanna hang out tomorrow?
Might be my last night on Earth."
"Wanna hang out tomorrow?"
[electronic music playing
through headphones]
[gasps] Christ! You scared the shit
out of me, Iveth. What are you doing?
Teaching myself.
Nobody else teaches me anything.
I need to finish this thing
in peace, okay? Okay?
That That means don't stare.
Goodbye, my dears. Ta-ta for now.
Have a wonderful weekend.
- Tons of fun. All that jazz.
- Hey, Nicolas Cage, where are you off to?
- Uh, going away for the weekend.
- The weekend? Tomorrow's Wednesday.
Well, I'm renting a boat and taking my
family to the French Riviera to sail it.
Hmm. The French Riviera. Cool.
Some friends of mine
were actually drowned.
Holy shit. That's disturbing.
Anyway, the boat's nearly 20 feet long,
with a humongous mast,
and I have no fucking idea
how to sail the thing, but, uh, it
You wanna take a little walk, kiddo?
Up, up, up.
Huh? It's 12:30. You have to head down
to that Rius Laboratories spot right now.
Those people are idiots, and you're
really the only person they'll deal with.
- What spot?
- Uh, the Ventoflat ad.
- The "not all gases are noble" spot.
- Holy shit. Fuck, yes.
They're having a horrible shoot today.
I got, like, 200 messages.
I'm gonna need someone to visit the set
and get everyone to calm down.
- No. No, no, no, no.
- Yes. You're the best here.
I need to finish this presentation
for the thing tomorrow,
then do the one for Thursday, okay?
- I need to reflect on a few things
- Look, Marta,
do you wanna get
the Creative Director promotion or not?
- Yes.
- You also want time for your reflecting.
You can't have everything.
And you're gonna pass up
the opportunity of a lifetime
if you don't go visit them on set.
Wonderful. Perfect, Nano.
Sweetheart, I have a family.
I have a wife and a son.
I have to take them on excursions.
Do you really think that's how
I wanna spend the weekend? No way.
I'd rather stay out and go partying
with you, but I have responsibilities.
You know, you're free. Enjoy your life.
Go out, party, all night if you want,
but, first, go visit the set
and stop being a pain in the ass.
Okay, you guys!
Let's all get back to work shitbirds.
Hey, hey, hey. Look,
the "shitbird" thing was a joke, okay?
Don't go trying to sue me later on.
- And I'm talking to you, Lucas.
- That's Mario.
- Mario.
- And, by the way, how old are you, kid?
- Fifteen.
- Nearly 16.
- He's a minor.
- Well, we'll fire him when he's 18.
Goodbye, my dears.
Be well, boys and girls.
I don't know.
I can't think of anything, really.
I don't believe
there's nothing you'd like to do.
- No idea.
- Check it out.
If it was me who was asked the question,
a thing I would like to do that
I've never done would be a glory hole.
- What are your thoughts?
- What is that?
You go and stick it in a random hole,
and you don't know who's receiving,
and your imagination goes nuts.
- It's hilarious, dude.
- I don't wanna stick my dick anywhere.
Dude, how are you this boring?
Fine, then we'll do it like everyone else
and bust a Google search.
All right, come on. Let's see. Here we go.
How about this one?
"Fifty things to do before you die."
And you're not dying, but, you know,
there are things you should do
because they're rad, and, you know
- Just in case.
- Just in case.
"Get your hair colored
or shave it all off."
That I did that one for you already.
One down.
- [laughs]
- Okay, look.
"Start a project from scrat"
Probably not that one.
- Oh, hey.
- What?
How about if we go buck wild
at a swingers' club, dude?
- Hell, no.
- No, we don't have to do stuff together.
You go over there, I'm over here,
then we meet in the common area
- and parlay for analysis.
- No.
Okay, okay.
"Live in another country for a year."
- It's a bit late to move now, right?
- [groans]
Uh Hey. You ever tried poppers?
Again with the drugs.
I don't want any more drugs.
Don't judge, dude.
You're always judging with the drugs.
Relax. It's no big deal.
Oh, wait. Here, look.
"Act in a show as an extra."
- An extra?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- To experience show business a little.
Damn, the red carpet,
chillin' with celebs.
It's totally bitchin'.
And plus, the cinema lives on.
[groans]
Well, all right, then. We've got it.
Get up. We've got work to do.
So, then, like where are we going?
It's fucking Barcelona. They're
all filming all over the city, dude.
Remember that chick, Fabi?
- She worked online bingo when I did.
- No.
Well, her sister has this agency
that does extra casting.
I'll get her on the phone right now
and I'm producing already.
This is it, kid. This is showbiz.
Fabi.
[technician] Coming through.
[director] Sorry, but this is what
we approved for the storyboard.
[client] There wasn't anything said
about shooting during the day,
and, honestly, who takes pills like that
to help flatulence in the daytime?
I take 'em in the morning,
and it's really fantastic.
- Would you like to see our study?
- No, no, you're the expert, sir.
Hello, guys. How's everyone doing?
What's the problem here?
Look, I really don't care how you do it,
but I want the spot
to look like it's nighttime.
- We got that?
- [Marta] Make it look like nighttime.
Great. Well, the witching hour
is nearly here, so you need to start.
No, Marta. It's really not that close yet.
That's good, Spielberg. No problem, okay?
Listen, uh, if you guys want,
we'll call off the shoot for today,
we'll send everyone home
and come back tomorrow.
Perfect. Sure.
But bear in mind that someone is gonna
have to pay for the shoot tomorrow.
And in this case,
that someone is you, the client,
because you agreed to the contract
and you accepted the plans to shoot.
Your call, guys.
We don't wanna pay more.
Of course you don't wanna pay more.
It's not necessary, right?
- Come on, fellas. Let's get back to it.
- Yeah, perfect.
- Let's get in position and get started.
- Let's shoot this.
- [assistant] Hi there. Here you go.
- [Raúl] Hello.
- [Edu] Ah, thank you.
- That's the script.
Hang on. It's a commercial, Edu.
"Ventoflat"?
Oh, shit. It's a fart commercial.
[exhales] Seriously?
It's a fart commercial?
Hey, just be glad
Fabi's sister got us on set, okay?
I don't think the writer of that list
meant extra work like this.
What did you think?
Your first day's on Game of Thrones?
It's showbiz.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
You have to work your way up slowly.
You have to hone your skills
and create a name.
I don't want everyone to remember me
as the gassy guy.
No way. You're not the guy who has gas.
You're just in the background
doing the things they say to do.
[crew muttering]
- It's Marta.
- Listen, I'm gonna go speak to them.
- No way! This is incredible.
- Yeah, it's her.
Showbiz and romance?
Two birds in one stone.
All right, listen to me. First go
over there, right, and run your lines.
Tell her that you're an actor.
Obviously, man, these actors are flirting
and getting laid and all that, dude.
- And she
- Edu. Relax, okay?
Last time I took your advice,
I ended up on drugs and in the hospital.
- Give it a rest.
- Fine, fine, dude. Just chill.
- I'll go, all right? Chill.
- Go where?
To steal a sandwich and go home.
A fucking fart commercial, dude.
The catering is a joke here, good buddy.
"Oh, you wanted a chicken veggie
bocadillo?" No, none left.
It's better in prison, isn't it?
This is really bad. Ugh.
- You went to prison?
- A few times, yeah.
- No way!
- Sure. But it was as an extra.
- Ah.
- So, that show, Cell 211?
- You seen it?
- Yeah.
Well, when everything starts to pop off,
the guy that's sitting behind the guy
behind Tosar, yours truly.
- Hot dang!
- Yeah, and I had to shave my head.
I think that's why
you don't really recognize, you know
Oh.
Well, Bernat Rubira, actor.
- Nice!
- Yeah, supporting actor and all that.
- So cool.
- Yeah.
But you need to relax a little bit, okay?
I mean, look at these guys.
- You can't lose your cool right now. I
- Marta!
- Hey!
- What's up?
What are you doing here?
So, now you're an extra?
Well, yeah. I mean, it's not It's a
part of the whole trying new things stuff.
Right. You're still trying
to be another guy?
No, I guess I was curious and
I prefer movies, if I'm being honest.
I try not to do
too many of these commercials
'cause it's it's really exhausting.
Is this your very first time shooting?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I can tell.
- You want a little advice?
- Sure, yeah.
Try not to get noticed very much.
And then tomorrow,
they'll definitely call you back.
Right. All right.
There are little tricks
you pick up along the way.
Anything you need from me,
just ask, buddy.
Right on.
- Hey, just one more thing.
- Sure.
Would you mind grabbing me
a Coca-Cola there?
I already had two,
and it's just don't want these guys
to think that I'm, you know
Look, I'll grab you a sandwich
and a Coke. How does that sound? Okay?
- Make it a Zero.
- Yeah, of course, right. A Zero.
- Right on.
- [Marta] So how's the new experience?
- Well, so far, it's, um, pretty shitty.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, it gets overly romanticized.
It's probably on one of those
bullshit lists, you know,
that's got, like, 50 things to do
before you die, right?
You'd, like, have to be
like a complete ass-head
if you wanted to do this before you died.
[laughs] Yeah, yeah.
Completely right. Ass-head.
[assistant director] Okay, people.
Background, we need you over here.
Oh, they need you over there.
You have to go with them to set.
Over here, please, all right?
You too. Let's go, buzzkill, with us.
- The buzzkill? Is that, uh, me?
- Yeah, probably the look you're making.
- Yeah?
- I don't know. [chuckles]
Okay, okay, okay.
Uh, well, I'll see you in a little while.
See you later.
[assistant director] All right, people,
are we clear on everything?
We're having fun, okay?
Everyone know what they have to do?
I wanna see energy here, and movement.
You're animated, you're fun, all of that.
You guys'll cross over here, and you
guys'll cross this way on "action," okay?
Same thing on this side, but you're
not crossing, just flowing, all right?
And let's see you What was your name
again? Whatever, I don't care.
Okay, you'll stand right here,
and on "action,"
you walk over here and wait for her, okay?
You got all that, buddy?
- Yes. Uh-huh.
- Perfect, okay.
I really don't like repeating things.
All right, everyone?
Okay, guys, stay focused. I wanna
get this in one take, all right? Camera!
And three, two, one. And action.
[phone rings]
- Wait. What's he doing? Come on.
- Really sorry. Sorry. I screwed up.
- Cut it! Cut it!
- What did I say about your cell phones?
- All phones off. Please, guys.
- Yes? Yes?
Raúl, I'm calling
just because I wanted to say,
well, I kind of felt bad
about how we left things.
Yeah, and maybe
I was a little unfair to you,
but I also have to think about myself
and my own mental health.
- Right?
- No, it's all good.
It's totally fine. Gina, it's all right.
And even though it's painful,
sometimes it's the brave thing to do
when you know it's time to be done.
Yeah. And you need to be done now, right?
- Why are you whispering?
- Oh, no, I I wasn't. I No.
Well, even though we're no longer
walking the same path together,
I, uh, I need to make a quick stop at
your house because I forgot the air fryer.
Uh, all right.
I I'm not there right now,
but Edu Edu's there.
Yeah, go ahead and take
whatever you want, okay?
[assistant director]
Everybody back to one! Let's go!
"Everybody back to one"?
Look, we can't change the actor now.
Think about it.
- We've been here all fucking day.
- [Marta] Okay, guys.
- I'm going back to the office.
- What? No, no, you can't leave now.
- Wait. Because the actor isn't working.
- How do you mean?
The whole thing is, the guy needs
to look sad, and this guy does not.
But you guys had approved
all the actors that we chose, yeah?
Yeah, it's one thing to see him
on a screen test.
It's totally different in person.
Sorry, I just overheard you accidentally,
and, well, if a sad face
is what you need, then
- Sorry, who are you exactly?
- Bernat Rubira.
- Extra and supporting actor.
- [Marta] Yeah.
- I was in Cell 211.
- Uh-huh.
- [Marta] Yeah.
- When everything gets really bad,
the guy that's behind the guy
that's behind Tosar, I did that.
Uh, great. How about this guy?
Hang on a minute.
This guy's even better. This guy.
The phone guy? Come on.
This guy was just an extra.
- I want an actor, understand? An actor.
- Okay, fine? Carlos, just relax, okay?
- Please, just Uh
- Bernat.
Bernat. Yeah, thanks.
Okay, we'll give you a call. Yes, yes.
All right, we're here
to create solutions, okay?
We're here to make sure our clients
are fully and completely satisfied
with how we sell their anti-flatulence
pills or what have you.
Well, yeah, that's what we want.
- There's no need for condescension.
- Condescension? All right.
- I'm gonna find you that guy, all right?
- [Carlos] Yeah. Good, great.
[Marta] Let's see where he's at.
- Where are you, R
- Here.
- No, the other guy.
- Ah.
Someone else, okay? Yes, uh
Raúl.
- Hey.
- How's it going, Buzzkill? Hi.
- Fine.
- Yeah?
I'm sorry about earlier,
that whole thing with the
No, no. I thought it was hilarious.
- Right.
- How How's it going? You having fun?
- Mmm.
- Yeah?
It's quite an experience. Yeah, it's cool.
Hey, well, great, that's awesome to hear,
because your experience is about to go
from cool to premium.
- Premium?
- Yes.
The client is in love with you.
I'm mean, he's truly mesmerized,
and he wants you to play the lead
instead of the real actor.
Wait. I'd I'd play the lead?
Yes! Yeah. Just like Joseba,
the windshield guy.
And you know the bald guy
who does the Christmas lottery?
- We'll, you're gonna be Raúl
- Fucking no way.
- the guy who takes Ventoflat.
- No. No fucking way.
No, I'm not acting as the dude who farts.
You're not gonna All right.
These guys aren't gonna leave
until you do this commercial.
They're gonna keep us here
the entire night if you don't do this ad.
You'll make more money today than
the whole month of your normal job.
Not to mention, I'm just having
the absolute worst day ever.
Please. Please, I'm begging you.
Even if it's only for me.
For all of us. So we can go home.
Hmm? Raúl, please, for us.
Please.
Fine, I will, as long as you cut that out.
God, thanks.
[sighs] Okay, what's the deal?
[makeup artist] Under the eyes.
- What the hell? Not even an actor.
- A little more.
Nepotism is fucked, you know?
And I think we're good. How's that?
Mmm, you don't think
you overdid him a little?
- Yeah?
- He looks like he's about to die.
They told me to make it look like he's
emaciated, more or less, I mean, so
Yeah, emaciated is one thing.
Bordering on terminally ill is, well
- I'll bring it down.
- Great, but on set, all right?
We need to start filming. Let's go.
Leave your phone here
so it doesn't ring again.
Let's do this.
[line ringing]
[Edu] I was just with him.
He's on set filming as an extra.
He's not gonna answer.
Raúl, who's scared
to take money out of an ATM
because there's a camera
recording it, sure.
Well, because it's a thing you have to do
once in your life at least.
Bungee jumping or a glory hole.
- A what?
- Nothing.
I just don't get it. Raúl wasn't an extra
when he was with me, Edu.
Well, folks change, right, Georgina?
[scoffs] Sure. Fine, well
I'm going, then, because this right here
is completely pointless.
[grunts]
Hey, what's this?
Those are just some test results of mine
that I left out accidentally.
[scoffs]
- These are yours?
- Yeah.
Okay, for what?
- My red blood cells.
- Your red blood cells?
- Mm-hmm.
- What's wrong with your blood cells?
- Well, they they're red.
- Yeah, normally they're red or white.
- What I mean is, what's the issue?
- Well, it's, uh, prostate.
- Your prostate? Are you worried about it?
- A little.
- Did you have it checked?
- You have yours checked?
- I have no prostate.
- Oh, right.
Please give me the report.
It says, "Raúl." I read it.
- It's mine.
- Give me that report.
- Uh, no.
- I wanna read what that report says!
- Hey, stop! You can't have it! No!
- You fucking give it here.
Holy hell! You're fucking strong, girl!
Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
Please don't! No, no. Ew. Stop it!
That's gross. Ew. Here. Shit!
I know at the very least his cholesterol
was up. His diet's awful.
[Edu] Damn.
Edu, what's going on?
- Edu.
- [sighs]
What's wrong with Raúl, Edu?
Well, that.
[breathes heavily]
Hmm.
[chuckles]
Sorry, guys, I can't. I don't know.
Can we cut? What the fuck? It's bullshit.
Sorry. I can't work with this guy.
Cut, please. Can we cut there?
Who is this guy? Who hired him?
Guys, sorry, it's a fart commercial.
I giggled. I'm so sorry.
You think it's funny?
He thinks the product is a joke.
- I'll go handle it. Don't worry.
- Your friend thinks the
No, no. I'm going. I know him.
We're gonna pause for a moment.
Everyone go back to one, please.
This is gonna be hella expensive,
that's all I'm saying.
"Buy cheap, buy twice," you know?
- Come here. Come with me.
- I told you, it's awful, isn't it?
Well, you you really are,
but it's okay. To me, this is hysterical.
- Okay, listen.
- Uh-huh?
It's really easy.
- Uh-huh?
- Just don't laugh, and that's it.
- Well, I was trying not to.
- You gotta stay serious.
- I know that, and I'm trying. It's just
- What?
I keep on imagining that I'm pretending
to have gas, and the laughing slips out.
- It's sort of ridiculous.
- Yes, yes, it is. I know it is.
- But try to think of something sad.
- Marta, I don't know how to act at all.
Well, everyone has problems, you know?
You've got problems, surely.
There has to be something
that's eating you up inside, right?
Focus on that problem, okay?
Just that problem, yeah?
That That thing that when you think
about it, it totally crushes you.
[doctor] As you can see,
this procedure is quite aggressive.
[Marta] You know? When
When you get to that point in your life
where you end up thinking,
"I'm so sick of pretending I'm fine
and that everything is totally fine
and it's all gonna be okay."
in which the rate of the patient
survival can fluctuate between
Because it's not gonna be fine.
There's no way it's gonna be fine.
a 30 or 40% chance.
Reality is brutal.
And no one prepares you for it, either.
In other words,
there's an extreme risk that it fails
and the patient doesn't survive it.
[doctor's voice echoes]
Right, that's great.
You got it. That's perfect.
All right, now we're gonna roll,
all right? Let's go.
- Roll it. Roll.
- We need to shoot this now, okay?
- Right, can we go?
- [Marta] Shut up, shut up.
- He's got it. He's got it.
- Perfect.
He's gonna do great.
Watch. Watch. He's got it.
- You sure we got it?
- Yes. When you're ready. Go ahead.
- [assistant director] Camera!
- Watch.
Action!
[inhales sharply] Yeah.
Bravo!
- We got it. Print it. That's done.
- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah, we got it. Incredible.
- And action on the tarp.
[narrator] Ventoflat.
Because not all gases are noble.
Okay, guys, let's cut. And that's
gonna be a wrap, boys and girls.
Everyone go home. Let's pack it up.
And that's how you earn your paycheck.
Wonderful! You rock! Bravo!
[assistant director]
Just blew me away. Fantastic.
[Carlos] Incredible.
- You were right.
- [client] Bravo!
[Marta] Raúl.
- Hey. Hey, that was amazing.
- Huh? Yeah?
Yeah. You did great. Congrats.
- This is the client.
- Thanks, dude. Seriously, man, thanks.
- Can I give you a hug? Dude.
- Sure, of course.
Oh, thanks, dude. You saved the ad.
- Really, thanks. Hope to see more of you.
- [Marta] See you later.
Well, well, well, well, my guy. Nobody
thought you were gonna get it done.
Hey, that was fucking killer, though.
Damn good acting, man.
And, look, I'm sorry I was so full-on,
but you know how it gets on set.
Anyway, get out of that outfit.
I'll see you later, dude.
- All right.
- [Marta] Okay. See you, Ernesto.
Well, I knew you could do it.
So, listen, I really gotta
get outta here, all right?
- But, man, I can't thank you enough.
- Thanks. Oh, no, it was nothing.
Honestly, you were just incredible.
- [chuckles] Thank you.
- Well, see ya.
- You have a good one.
- Uh, what's up? Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I'm fine.
- Are you sure?
Yeah, go ahead. No worries, yeah.
Well, if you wanted, uh,
I'm not sure where you live,
but if you wanted,
I can walk some of the way with you.
Uh, all right.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, great.
All right. [clicks tongue]
- You're gonna wanna change.
- Oh, yeah, right.
- I look like a baloney at a luau.
- Yeah, sure.
[Marta] You really blew their minds,
you know?
[Raúl] I guess your speech really, uh
really helped.
Yeah, I'm pretty good
with little speeches.
- Hmm.
- And how's work going?
You're a You're an insurance broker
or a mechanic or
Human Resources.
- Oh, yeah.
- At a car dealership.
Well, see? It involves cars.
- Yeah, there are definitely cars.
- [chuckles]
[Marta] But I'm not at all like
my parents, you know? Or my sister.
- [Raúl] Ah.
- I kind of think I was adopted.
- Adopted?
- Yeah.
- And I'm really Peruvian.
- Why?
Well, because when I'm walking
down the street and I see those Peruvians
who have those instruments
with the little tubes, you know?
- Uh-huh.
- And you know they do that song
- [vocalizes]
- [Raúl vocalizes]
- Right?
- Yeah.
Well, I hear it and it makes me emotional,
like I fully start to cry.
Right, but that doesn't mean
you're adopted. I mean, I love that song.
No, no, no, no.
I'm like transported just hearing it.
I mean, I'm I'm taken
straight to the Andes. You feel me?
I'm riding a llama, traversing the Andes.
Wait, what are
That song isn't Peruvian, though.
- I feel like it's Argentinian.
- It's not?
Well, I guess I'm Argentinian.
Maybe so.
- You have a roommate?
- Yeah.
I was gonna move in with my girlfriend,
but we broke up.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
So, she ended it, then?
No, well, it was honestly
a mutual decision for us.
- Be real. She ended it.
- Yeah, yeah, she dumped me.
[both chuckle]
How long were you with her?
Four years.
Four years? Jesus! That's nuts!
No, that's not that long, is it?
Well, but you're still pretty young,
aren't you?
Yeah. Well, my grandparents
were married for 52 years.
Yeah, but, dude,
that was another time period.
- It was normal.
- Hmm.
Like, what do you think the longest
marriage ever was in all history?
Hmm. No idea. Sixty years?
No, no. More. I think because everyone
was crazier back then.
Your grandparents had You said what?
- Uh, 53.
- 53.
- But you'd get married at 20
- Well, I mean
plus 60, and life expectancy
was like 80 years.
- I think it's more than that.
- More?
Sure. You're saying it's 60, yeah?
- Let's find out.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I think it's, uh 75 years.
- I'll look it up.
- Okay.
Whoever's the closest gets the win.
- Okay. And gets?
- Yeah.
- A trip to the Maldives, I guess.
- [chuckles]
No, shit, well, they get
to give the other person a dare.
- A dare, huh? Fine. What type of dare?
- Yes.
Well, what about, you know, walk out
there and dance where those people are.
Or prance around in only your underwear
and catwalk.
- Or you could dive in, doing a cartwheel.
- No, no.
- I'm not going in the water, all right?
- Fine, Raúl.
No water dares, all right?
- But I'm looking.
- Fine.
Okay?
[Marta imitates suspenseful music]
- [laughs]
- What?
- I won, huh? I got it?
- All right!
- No, no, I got it. I did. I got it, yeah.
- Oh, shit.
Look, here. It's 81 years and 57 days,
in Rhode Island.
Married in the '40s.
It says here. That's nuts.
So, I'm the winner! Take that! Come on.
- Fine.
- Uh [chuckles]
- Yeah?
- Uh, okay, look.
You gotta scare the next person
that passes by, all right?
- Okay, this guy. This one who's coming.
- That guy there?
Yes. But you gotta, like, scare him,
like, seriously.
- Okay, I'm going.
- Go over. Come on. Boo!
- [shrieks]
- What the fuck, asshole?
- The fuck you doing? You dickhead!
- [Marta] Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
Any clue how much
that son of a bitch scared me?
- No, get outta here.
- I'll remember you, asshole.
Thank you. It's just a game.
- Oh, a game?
- We're playing a game.
- Get out of here, man.
- I'm sorry.
Tourists go home. Fuck off.
You're a couple of assholes.
What tourists? Bro, I'm speaking
your language, you fucking moron.
- Are you all right?
- [groaning] Fuck, it hurts.
What an asshole, seriously.
Hey, lis No, don't lean forward.
- Let's see. Come here.
- I don't know. How is it?
Yeah, you're bleeding. Hang on.
You're bleeding, yeah.
- Oh, dang. Fuck, man.
- Oh, fuck.
- Oh. Fuck.
- Take this. Here. No, no.
Okay, look.
Hey, tilt your head back, okay?
Great. And now your arm.
Look. Lift it like this.
Okay, the other one, though.
- To stop the blood flow.
- [groans]
Now lift up, your one leg.
Like that. And now say
- [vocalizes, laughs]
- Oh, you're laughing at me? Oh, shit.
- Sorry.
- So mean. Jeez.
Hey, sorry. It's just
[laughs] I just really
- I couldn't help myself, I swear.
- Yeah, but it really hurts.
No, no, no. Not like that. No, don't lean.
Don't lean.
I think you're bleeding less now.
- Yeah?
- Shall we? Come on, up on your feet.
- Oh, my God.
- Let's go.
- Oh, damn, that guy was so mad.
- I swear I never saw that coming, dude.
- Seriously, that hasn't [laughs]
- [groans]
That's never happened with this game.
Where'd you learn this?
- [laughs]
- Seriously?
And that reaction was like immediate.
I mean
- Basically professional.
- I'm actually that way.
Ah. Oh, I'm down here.
Great. Well, do you wanna try to hang out
next week? I mean, I can give you a call.
- Sure. Next week, all right, yeah.
- Great. Yeah.
- Well
- Take care.
[Marta] Mmm.
See ya.
Hey!
- Now I get to play my turn. Uh
- Oh, yeah?
Yeah. A man just punched my face.
I think that's fair, isn't it?
- [laughs]
- Uh
Uh, all right, fine.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I deserve it.
- No, no, you're right. Go on.
- Okay. And?
- All right.
Uh, well, you see those guys?
- Yeah. Those guys?
- Yeah. Walk over and go steal their beer.
Done so. Mm-hmm.
[pedestrian] He played.
He played bad, dude.
- What? Hey! Hey!
- Hey! What the?
- What are you doing?
- Messed up, dude!
- See ya!
- It had a little surprise in it, dude.
- [Marta] Suckers!
- Hold on.
- [door opens, closes]
- [Raúl whistling]
Edu!
You're never gonna guess
who I left the shoot with.
- [Gina] Raúl
- What's uh
- Sorry. I didn't know.
- Uh
I had no idea that
I didn't know any of this, I swear.
I'm not a monster, and I never
would have done anything I did
if if I'd known that you
I'm sorry.
- [sobs]
- [Raúl] No
[Gina] I love you.
[kisses]
[sniffles]
The case that I'm presenting today
is that of a young man,
30 years old,
and he was recently diagnosed
A RARE MALIGNANT HEART TUMOR
CARDIAC ANGIOSARCOMA
with angiosarcoma of the heart.
If you get anxious or anything,
go ahead and push that button, okay?
Got it.
[doctor] We completed the diagnosis
using an EKG, a CAT scan, an MRI,
cardiac catheterization and a biopsy.
- [MRI beeps]
- You all right in there?
I'm fine. I just I wanna make sure
that that it's working right.
Yes, it works. You just relax.
Okay. I'm sorry, okay?
- All good.
- All right.
After informing the patient,
it was then proposed
that he should have open-heart surgery
as it would be the best method
of removing the tumor,
based on its characteristics.
And after that, we began pre-op testing.
[MRI beeps]
- Yes? What is it?
- Question. This is safe, right?
- Yes, it is, completely.
- A hundred percent?
Yes, it's all good.
And you're behind
all that bulletproof glass?
As you can see,
this procedure is quite aggressive.
- [MRI beeps]
- Now what's the problem?
I'm a little anxious.
And I wasn't earlier. It's just I am now.
In other words,
there's an extreme risk that it fails
And the patient doesn't survive it.
Extreme risk you wouldn't survive it?
You didn't tell me that. Hey.
I mean, 60% maybe.
The nurse told me that it was like 70%.
[Edu] Dude, I had it in my head as 60.
I guess because 60 is more or less 50.
And, shit, dude,
50 is really not that bad.
- Fifty's glass half full, essentially.
- But you said 70% was good.
On what fucking planet is 70 good, Raúl?
Seriously?
Don't yell. This is embarrassing enough.
I didn't say anything in percentages.
I'm not a fan of talking in those terms.
So, then, is it better?
No, no, no, no. I wouldn't say that.
There's a probable margin.
Man, this guy's frigid.
Do you see how cold he is?
Look, I understand your frustration,
but try to get my position.
I deliver awful news every single day.
I get you, man. I'm sure it's not easy
for you to do all day, every day.
Telling all your patients
"cancer this," "cancer that," whatever.
Which is why you had to build up
this icy exterior.
I mean, a robot
has more emotional intelligence.
I bet when you get home from work at night
and throw down all your things,
- you're all, "Honey, it's me!"
- Actually, I'm divorced.
And suddenly everything
you dealt with all day hits you.
Yelling and tears.
"I should've cut there and not here!"
- "Why couldn't I have saved that kid?"
- I don't work with children.
Honestly, your job must really suck.
- Are you finished? Hmm?
- Yeah.
We'll be operating within a week
at the latest, Raúl, all right?
- Within a week?
- Well, hey, a week is plenty of time.
There's a whole bunch of stuff, Raúl,
that we we can do.
Isn't that right, doctor?
And we can just list it all down.
- Yes. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll just totally pack your schedule
so there's no time
to think about, you know,
much at all, right?
You obviously haven't read any
of the psychological support brochures,
so I'll give you some more, okay?
Sure, great, more brochures.
You're clearly not paying to get those.
Just try to stay calm.
The lists are a good idea.
But I'd advise you spend time
with your loved ones.
It's important psychologically.
I imagine you told everyone close to you?
- Your parents, your siblings and all?
- Hmm, I'm an only child.
And my mother I was trying
to find the right time to tell her.
- Well, that's all your choice.
- [Raúl] Yeah. Yeah, I know.
- You have one week.
- [Edu] It's all good.
Your friends are the family you choose,
and you're more than set with me, dude.
And we'll stay positive, you know?
We can beat this thing.
- Thanks a lot, doc. Huh?
- That's it?
Let's go. Yeah.
Grab those brochures. Let's bounce.
- Man alive.
- Thank you.
["TIK TAK",
David Menéndez López]
LOVE YOU TO DEATH
[Ana] I'll see you next week, then, okay?
You really don't need
to come in every week.
Yep, got it, but I'll see you next week.
Marta?
Hey! [chuckles] Hey, sis. How's it goin'?
Why are you here?
I, uh I got a, you know, an STD.
I mean, I've got, um, uh, warts
on my, uh, well, all over, you know.
I mean, it's like I'm having a party
in in my underwear.
It's spicy. Like it's Taco Tuesday.
Someone poured two liters of Tabasco
in this vagina.
- You know? It's
- Marta Martínez?
Yes, yeah.
Why don't we go see
how your little chickpea's doing.
Eee! [chuckles]
"Chickpea!" Did you hear that?
She's got a nickname for my warts.
Seriously, "Little chickpeas." It's
Like I was making curry.
Just one second. Ana? Ana! Ana!
You wanna stop making me
chase you in the streets?
I'm only going slow
to let you win, you know.
Are you pregnant?
You were gonna abort it
and not tell me at all?
No. I wasn't gonna abort it.
- For now, okay?
- Well, why not tell me anything?
'Cause I didn't wanna talk about it,
or need to think about it,
discuss it even.
What's to discuss if you know
you don't want a kid, though?
- Or you want a kid?
- I don't know yet, Ana.
I'm not sure, you know?
But it could very well
be my last chance to be a mother.
Marta, you can't have a kid
because you feel like time is running out.
- That's not the deal.
- Oh, no? Really?
- No, it really isn't.
- What is the deal, then?
Tell me what it is.
Because my entire life you've been saying
to grow up and be serious.
Now I might do this,
but that's not it either?
Marta, you either want it or you don't.
Like I know what I want, Ana!
What are you saying?
I don't even know what underwear to put on
every morning or what I'm gonna eat!
PRO-LIFE NATIONAL MARCH
- I don't have to know it all.
- Just relax, okay?
I was just saying that if you decided
not to, that I'd support you. That was it.
No, no, I don't want your support.
Well, I really don't care if you do
or not. I'm supporting you either way.
Of course, all of us are here to help you.
It's not your only option.
No, it's not your only option,
but it's the best one.
You know what, Ana? I don't think you're
"supporting." You wanna argue with me.
But you came here to abort it.
What are you saying?
I'm here to get some information.
I came to inform myself.
And here's all the information you need
about life and and how to defend it.
Right. The information that I need.
The information I need.
"We pray for the end"
Wait. What the fuck is this shit?
It's no simple thing
to discard a human life.
I get it. No matter how tiny it is, right?
Uh, all right. [chuckles]
Why don't we just stop right here?
I'm giving you three seconds
to leave my sister alone. Do you hear me?
Because, as you can see, I'm pregnant.
[chuckles]
And I can assure you,
you don't wanna make me angry.
Because I'm like a fucking time bomb
waiting to go off. Got it?
It's been three months
since I've seen my own two feet, okay?
I'm in pain taking a shit,
or sitting or standing.
I have stretch marks, cellulite.
My ass is enormous.
My tits are also enormous.
And my very soul aches.
And I swear on my baby's life,
the one that's in here right now,
that won't even let me breathe,
that all of this rage that I got,
I'm gonna take it and give you
the Hadouken of your lives.
I swear I'll birth this fucking baby
that's sucking my life out of me
in in the middle of the prison yard!
Are we clear about that?
- Forgive me.
- And fuck off, motherfucker!
- [sighs] Please, can we speak calmly?
- Well, I gotta go to work.
- You're going to work now?
- Yes, I work all day, every day.
- Marta. Marta.
- You know that.
- No, you need to go home and think.
- I'll think at work.
[sighs]
What part of "fuck off"
wasn't clear to you?
- Yes, ma'am. We're going, we're going.
- [line ringing]
"CANCER IS NO
A SOLITARY JOURNEY"
WE HEAR YOU
CALL US WHENEVER YOU NEED
[line ringing, clicks]
- [clerk] Hello, good morning.
- Hi.
Can I come in to get support this week?
- We don't have anything until next month.
- Wait. When?
No, no, I need to come in this week.
I'm positive, yeah.
Are you serious?
No, no, I can't wait that long.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, listen, I get it.
I do. I understand.
But wait a minute.
I'm not I mean, you're
Would you mind calling back next month?
Uh
All right. Yeah. Sorry.
- I'll call back another time, then.
- Thank you so much.
Or not.
[sighs]
I'm Raúl from the funeral home.
Wanna hang out today?
"Wanna hang out tomorrow?
Might be my last night on Earth."
"Wanna hang out tomorrow?"
[electronic music playing
through headphones]
[gasps] Christ! You scared the shit
out of me, Iveth. What are you doing?
Teaching myself.
Nobody else teaches me anything.
I need to finish this thing
in peace, okay? Okay?
That That means don't stare.
Goodbye, my dears. Ta-ta for now.
Have a wonderful weekend.
- Tons of fun. All that jazz.
- Hey, Nicolas Cage, where are you off to?
- Uh, going away for the weekend.
- The weekend? Tomorrow's Wednesday.
Well, I'm renting a boat and taking my
family to the French Riviera to sail it.
Hmm. The French Riviera. Cool.
Some friends of mine
were actually drowned.
Holy shit. That's disturbing.
Anyway, the boat's nearly 20 feet long,
with a humongous mast,
and I have no fucking idea
how to sail the thing, but, uh, it
You wanna take a little walk, kiddo?
Up, up, up.
Huh? It's 12:30. You have to head down
to that Rius Laboratories spot right now.
Those people are idiots, and you're
really the only person they'll deal with.
- What spot?
- Uh, the Ventoflat ad.
- The "not all gases are noble" spot.
- Holy shit. Fuck, yes.
They're having a horrible shoot today.
I got, like, 200 messages.
I'm gonna need someone to visit the set
and get everyone to calm down.
- No. No, no, no, no.
- Yes. You're the best here.
I need to finish this presentation
for the thing tomorrow,
then do the one for Thursday, okay?
- I need to reflect on a few things
- Look, Marta,
do you wanna get
the Creative Director promotion or not?
- Yes.
- You also want time for your reflecting.
You can't have everything.
And you're gonna pass up
the opportunity of a lifetime
if you don't go visit them on set.
Wonderful. Perfect, Nano.
Sweetheart, I have a family.
I have a wife and a son.
I have to take them on excursions.
Do you really think that's how
I wanna spend the weekend? No way.
I'd rather stay out and go partying
with you, but I have responsibilities.
You know, you're free. Enjoy your life.
Go out, party, all night if you want,
but, first, go visit the set
and stop being a pain in the ass.
Okay, you guys!
Let's all get back to work shitbirds.
Hey, hey, hey. Look,
the "shitbird" thing was a joke, okay?
Don't go trying to sue me later on.
- And I'm talking to you, Lucas.
- That's Mario.
- Mario.
- And, by the way, how old are you, kid?
- Fifteen.
- Nearly 16.
- He's a minor.
- Well, we'll fire him when he's 18.
Goodbye, my dears.
Be well, boys and girls.
I don't know.
I can't think of anything, really.
I don't believe
there's nothing you'd like to do.
- No idea.
- Check it out.
If it was me who was asked the question,
a thing I would like to do that
I've never done would be a glory hole.
- What are your thoughts?
- What is that?
You go and stick it in a random hole,
and you don't know who's receiving,
and your imagination goes nuts.
- It's hilarious, dude.
- I don't wanna stick my dick anywhere.
Dude, how are you this boring?
Fine, then we'll do it like everyone else
and bust a Google search.
All right, come on. Let's see. Here we go.
How about this one?
"Fifty things to do before you die."
And you're not dying, but, you know,
there are things you should do
because they're rad, and, you know
- Just in case.
- Just in case.
"Get your hair colored
or shave it all off."
That I did that one for you already.
One down.
- [laughs]
- Okay, look.
"Start a project from scrat"
Probably not that one.
- Oh, hey.
- What?
How about if we go buck wild
at a swingers' club, dude?
- Hell, no.
- No, we don't have to do stuff together.
You go over there, I'm over here,
then we meet in the common area
- and parlay for analysis.
- No.
Okay, okay.
"Live in another country for a year."
- It's a bit late to move now, right?
- [groans]
Uh Hey. You ever tried poppers?
Again with the drugs.
I don't want any more drugs.
Don't judge, dude.
You're always judging with the drugs.
Relax. It's no big deal.
Oh, wait. Here, look.
"Act in a show as an extra."
- An extra?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- To experience show business a little.
Damn, the red carpet,
chillin' with celebs.
It's totally bitchin'.
And plus, the cinema lives on.
[groans]
Well, all right, then. We've got it.
Get up. We've got work to do.
So, then, like where are we going?
It's fucking Barcelona. They're
all filming all over the city, dude.
Remember that chick, Fabi?
- She worked online bingo when I did.
- No.
Well, her sister has this agency
that does extra casting.
I'll get her on the phone right now
and I'm producing already.
This is it, kid. This is showbiz.
Fabi.
[technician] Coming through.
[director] Sorry, but this is what
we approved for the storyboard.
[client] There wasn't anything said
about shooting during the day,
and, honestly, who takes pills like that
to help flatulence in the daytime?
I take 'em in the morning,
and it's really fantastic.
- Would you like to see our study?
- No, no, you're the expert, sir.
Hello, guys. How's everyone doing?
What's the problem here?
Look, I really don't care how you do it,
but I want the spot
to look like it's nighttime.
- We got that?
- [Marta] Make it look like nighttime.
Great. Well, the witching hour
is nearly here, so you need to start.
No, Marta. It's really not that close yet.
That's good, Spielberg. No problem, okay?
Listen, uh, if you guys want,
we'll call off the shoot for today,
we'll send everyone home
and come back tomorrow.
Perfect. Sure.
But bear in mind that someone is gonna
have to pay for the shoot tomorrow.
And in this case,
that someone is you, the client,
because you agreed to the contract
and you accepted the plans to shoot.
Your call, guys.
We don't wanna pay more.
Of course you don't wanna pay more.
It's not necessary, right?
- Come on, fellas. Let's get back to it.
- Yeah, perfect.
- Let's get in position and get started.
- Let's shoot this.
- [assistant] Hi there. Here you go.
- [Raúl] Hello.
- [Edu] Ah, thank you.
- That's the script.
Hang on. It's a commercial, Edu.
"Ventoflat"?
Oh, shit. It's a fart commercial.
[exhales] Seriously?
It's a fart commercial?
Hey, just be glad
Fabi's sister got us on set, okay?
I don't think the writer of that list
meant extra work like this.
What did you think?
Your first day's on Game of Thrones?
It's showbiz.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
You have to work your way up slowly.
You have to hone your skills
and create a name.
I don't want everyone to remember me
as the gassy guy.
No way. You're not the guy who has gas.
You're just in the background
doing the things they say to do.
[crew muttering]
- It's Marta.
- Listen, I'm gonna go speak to them.
- No way! This is incredible.
- Yeah, it's her.
Showbiz and romance?
Two birds in one stone.
All right, listen to me. First go
over there, right, and run your lines.
Tell her that you're an actor.
Obviously, man, these actors are flirting
and getting laid and all that, dude.
- And she
- Edu. Relax, okay?
Last time I took your advice,
I ended up on drugs and in the hospital.
- Give it a rest.
- Fine, fine, dude. Just chill.
- I'll go, all right? Chill.
- Go where?
To steal a sandwich and go home.
A fucking fart commercial, dude.
The catering is a joke here, good buddy.
"Oh, you wanted a chicken veggie
bocadillo?" No, none left.
It's better in prison, isn't it?
This is really bad. Ugh.
- You went to prison?
- A few times, yeah.
- No way!
- Sure. But it was as an extra.
- Ah.
- So, that show, Cell 211?
- You seen it?
- Yeah.
Well, when everything starts to pop off,
the guy that's sitting behind the guy
behind Tosar, yours truly.
- Hot dang!
- Yeah, and I had to shave my head.
I think that's why
you don't really recognize, you know
Oh.
Well, Bernat Rubira, actor.
- Nice!
- Yeah, supporting actor and all that.
- So cool.
- Yeah.
But you need to relax a little bit, okay?
I mean, look at these guys.
- You can't lose your cool right now. I
- Marta!
- Hey!
- What's up?
What are you doing here?
So, now you're an extra?
Well, yeah. I mean, it's not It's a
part of the whole trying new things stuff.
Right. You're still trying
to be another guy?
No, I guess I was curious and
I prefer movies, if I'm being honest.
I try not to do
too many of these commercials
'cause it's it's really exhausting.
Is this your very first time shooting?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I can tell.
- You want a little advice?
- Sure, yeah.
Try not to get noticed very much.
And then tomorrow,
they'll definitely call you back.
Right. All right.
There are little tricks
you pick up along the way.
Anything you need from me,
just ask, buddy.
Right on.
- Hey, just one more thing.
- Sure.
Would you mind grabbing me
a Coca-Cola there?
I already had two,
and it's just don't want these guys
to think that I'm, you know
Look, I'll grab you a sandwich
and a Coke. How does that sound? Okay?
- Make it a Zero.
- Yeah, of course, right. A Zero.
- Right on.
- [Marta] So how's the new experience?
- Well, so far, it's, um, pretty shitty.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, it gets overly romanticized.
It's probably on one of those
bullshit lists, you know,
that's got, like, 50 things to do
before you die, right?
You'd, like, have to be
like a complete ass-head
if you wanted to do this before you died.
[laughs] Yeah, yeah.
Completely right. Ass-head.
[assistant director] Okay, people.
Background, we need you over here.
Oh, they need you over there.
You have to go with them to set.
Over here, please, all right?
You too. Let's go, buzzkill, with us.
- The buzzkill? Is that, uh, me?
- Yeah, probably the look you're making.
- Yeah?
- I don't know. [chuckles]
Okay, okay, okay.
Uh, well, I'll see you in a little while.
See you later.
[assistant director] All right, people,
are we clear on everything?
We're having fun, okay?
Everyone know what they have to do?
I wanna see energy here, and movement.
You're animated, you're fun, all of that.
You guys'll cross over here, and you
guys'll cross this way on "action," okay?
Same thing on this side, but you're
not crossing, just flowing, all right?
And let's see you What was your name
again? Whatever, I don't care.
Okay, you'll stand right here,
and on "action,"
you walk over here and wait for her, okay?
You got all that, buddy?
- Yes. Uh-huh.
- Perfect, okay.
I really don't like repeating things.
All right, everyone?
Okay, guys, stay focused. I wanna
get this in one take, all right? Camera!
And three, two, one. And action.
[phone rings]
- Wait. What's he doing? Come on.
- Really sorry. Sorry. I screwed up.
- Cut it! Cut it!
- What did I say about your cell phones?
- All phones off. Please, guys.
- Yes? Yes?
Raúl, I'm calling
just because I wanted to say,
well, I kind of felt bad
about how we left things.
Yeah, and maybe
I was a little unfair to you,
but I also have to think about myself
and my own mental health.
- Right?
- No, it's all good.
It's totally fine. Gina, it's all right.
And even though it's painful,
sometimes it's the brave thing to do
when you know it's time to be done.
Yeah. And you need to be done now, right?
- Why are you whispering?
- Oh, no, I I wasn't. I No.
Well, even though we're no longer
walking the same path together,
I, uh, I need to make a quick stop at
your house because I forgot the air fryer.
Uh, all right.
I I'm not there right now,
but Edu Edu's there.
Yeah, go ahead and take
whatever you want, okay?
[assistant director]
Everybody back to one! Let's go!
"Everybody back to one"?
Look, we can't change the actor now.
Think about it.
- We've been here all fucking day.
- [Marta] Okay, guys.
- I'm going back to the office.
- What? No, no, you can't leave now.
- Wait. Because the actor isn't working.
- How do you mean?
The whole thing is, the guy needs
to look sad, and this guy does not.
But you guys had approved
all the actors that we chose, yeah?
Yeah, it's one thing to see him
on a screen test.
It's totally different in person.
Sorry, I just overheard you accidentally,
and, well, if a sad face
is what you need, then
- Sorry, who are you exactly?
- Bernat Rubira.
- Extra and supporting actor.
- [Marta] Yeah.
- I was in Cell 211.
- Uh-huh.
- [Marta] Yeah.
- When everything gets really bad,
the guy that's behind the guy
that's behind Tosar, I did that.
Uh, great. How about this guy?
Hang on a minute.
This guy's even better. This guy.
The phone guy? Come on.
This guy was just an extra.
- I want an actor, understand? An actor.
- Okay, fine? Carlos, just relax, okay?
- Please, just Uh
- Bernat.
Bernat. Yeah, thanks.
Okay, we'll give you a call. Yes, yes.
All right, we're here
to create solutions, okay?
We're here to make sure our clients
are fully and completely satisfied
with how we sell their anti-flatulence
pills or what have you.
Well, yeah, that's what we want.
- There's no need for condescension.
- Condescension? All right.
- I'm gonna find you that guy, all right?
- [Carlos] Yeah. Good, great.
[Marta] Let's see where he's at.
- Where are you, R
- Here.
- No, the other guy.
- Ah.
Someone else, okay? Yes, uh
Raúl.
- Hey.
- How's it going, Buzzkill? Hi.
- Fine.
- Yeah?
I'm sorry about earlier,
that whole thing with the
No, no. I thought it was hilarious.
- Right.
- How How's it going? You having fun?
- Mmm.
- Yeah?
It's quite an experience. Yeah, it's cool.
Hey, well, great, that's awesome to hear,
because your experience is about to go
from cool to premium.
- Premium?
- Yes.
The client is in love with you.
I'm mean, he's truly mesmerized,
and he wants you to play the lead
instead of the real actor.
Wait. I'd I'd play the lead?
Yes! Yeah. Just like Joseba,
the windshield guy.
And you know the bald guy
who does the Christmas lottery?
- We'll, you're gonna be Raúl
- Fucking no way.
- the guy who takes Ventoflat.
- No. No fucking way.
No, I'm not acting as the dude who farts.
You're not gonna All right.
These guys aren't gonna leave
until you do this commercial.
They're gonna keep us here
the entire night if you don't do this ad.
You'll make more money today than
the whole month of your normal job.
Not to mention, I'm just having
the absolute worst day ever.
Please. Please, I'm begging you.
Even if it's only for me.
For all of us. So we can go home.
Hmm? Raúl, please, for us.
Please.
Fine, I will, as long as you cut that out.
God, thanks.
[sighs] Okay, what's the deal?
[makeup artist] Under the eyes.
- What the hell? Not even an actor.
- A little more.
Nepotism is fucked, you know?
And I think we're good. How's that?
Mmm, you don't think
you overdid him a little?
- Yeah?
- He looks like he's about to die.
They told me to make it look like he's
emaciated, more or less, I mean, so
Yeah, emaciated is one thing.
Bordering on terminally ill is, well
- I'll bring it down.
- Great, but on set, all right?
We need to start filming. Let's go.
Leave your phone here
so it doesn't ring again.
Let's do this.
[line ringing]
[Edu] I was just with him.
He's on set filming as an extra.
He's not gonna answer.
Raúl, who's scared
to take money out of an ATM
because there's a camera
recording it, sure.
Well, because it's a thing you have to do
once in your life at least.
Bungee jumping or a glory hole.
- A what?
- Nothing.
I just don't get it. Raúl wasn't an extra
when he was with me, Edu.
Well, folks change, right, Georgina?
[scoffs] Sure. Fine, well
I'm going, then, because this right here
is completely pointless.
[grunts]
Hey, what's this?
Those are just some test results of mine
that I left out accidentally.
[scoffs]
- These are yours?
- Yeah.
Okay, for what?
- My red blood cells.
- Your red blood cells?
- Mm-hmm.
- What's wrong with your blood cells?
- Well, they they're red.
- Yeah, normally they're red or white.
- What I mean is, what's the issue?
- Well, it's, uh, prostate.
- Your prostate? Are you worried about it?
- A little.
- Did you have it checked?
- You have yours checked?
- I have no prostate.
- Oh, right.
Please give me the report.
It says, "Raúl." I read it.
- It's mine.
- Give me that report.
- Uh, no.
- I wanna read what that report says!
- Hey, stop! You can't have it! No!
- You fucking give it here.
Holy hell! You're fucking strong, girl!
Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
Please don't! No, no. Ew. Stop it!
That's gross. Ew. Here. Shit!
I know at the very least his cholesterol
was up. His diet's awful.
[Edu] Damn.
Edu, what's going on?
- Edu.
- [sighs]
What's wrong with Raúl, Edu?
Well, that.
[breathes heavily]
Hmm.
[chuckles]
Sorry, guys, I can't. I don't know.
Can we cut? What the fuck? It's bullshit.
Sorry. I can't work with this guy.
Cut, please. Can we cut there?
Who is this guy? Who hired him?
Guys, sorry, it's a fart commercial.
I giggled. I'm so sorry.
You think it's funny?
He thinks the product is a joke.
- I'll go handle it. Don't worry.
- Your friend thinks the
No, no. I'm going. I know him.
We're gonna pause for a moment.
Everyone go back to one, please.
This is gonna be hella expensive,
that's all I'm saying.
"Buy cheap, buy twice," you know?
- Come here. Come with me.
- I told you, it's awful, isn't it?
Well, you you really are,
but it's okay. To me, this is hysterical.
- Okay, listen.
- Uh-huh?
It's really easy.
- Uh-huh?
- Just don't laugh, and that's it.
- Well, I was trying not to.
- You gotta stay serious.
- I know that, and I'm trying. It's just
- What?
I keep on imagining that I'm pretending
to have gas, and the laughing slips out.
- It's sort of ridiculous.
- Yes, yes, it is. I know it is.
- But try to think of something sad.
- Marta, I don't know how to act at all.
Well, everyone has problems, you know?
You've got problems, surely.
There has to be something
that's eating you up inside, right?
Focus on that problem, okay?
Just that problem, yeah?
That That thing that when you think
about it, it totally crushes you.
[doctor] As you can see,
this procedure is quite aggressive.
[Marta] You know? When
When you get to that point in your life
where you end up thinking,
"I'm so sick of pretending I'm fine
and that everything is totally fine
and it's all gonna be okay."
in which the rate of the patient
survival can fluctuate between
Because it's not gonna be fine.
There's no way it's gonna be fine.
a 30 or 40% chance.
Reality is brutal.
And no one prepares you for it, either.
In other words,
there's an extreme risk that it fails
and the patient doesn't survive it.
[doctor's voice echoes]
Right, that's great.
You got it. That's perfect.
All right, now we're gonna roll,
all right? Let's go.
- Roll it. Roll.
- We need to shoot this now, okay?
- Right, can we go?
- [Marta] Shut up, shut up.
- He's got it. He's got it.
- Perfect.
He's gonna do great.
Watch. Watch. He's got it.
- You sure we got it?
- Yes. When you're ready. Go ahead.
- [assistant director] Camera!
- Watch.
Action!
[inhales sharply] Yeah.
Bravo!
- We got it. Print it. That's done.
- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah, we got it. Incredible.
- And action on the tarp.
[narrator] Ventoflat.
Because not all gases are noble.
Okay, guys, let's cut. And that's
gonna be a wrap, boys and girls.
Everyone go home. Let's pack it up.
And that's how you earn your paycheck.
Wonderful! You rock! Bravo!
[assistant director]
Just blew me away. Fantastic.
[Carlos] Incredible.
- You were right.
- [client] Bravo!
[Marta] Raúl.
- Hey. Hey, that was amazing.
- Huh? Yeah?
Yeah. You did great. Congrats.
- This is the client.
- Thanks, dude. Seriously, man, thanks.
- Can I give you a hug? Dude.
- Sure, of course.
Oh, thanks, dude. You saved the ad.
- Really, thanks. Hope to see more of you.
- [Marta] See you later.
Well, well, well, well, my guy. Nobody
thought you were gonna get it done.
Hey, that was fucking killer, though.
Damn good acting, man.
And, look, I'm sorry I was so full-on,
but you know how it gets on set.
Anyway, get out of that outfit.
I'll see you later, dude.
- All right.
- [Marta] Okay. See you, Ernesto.
Well, I knew you could do it.
So, listen, I really gotta
get outta here, all right?
- But, man, I can't thank you enough.
- Thanks. Oh, no, it was nothing.
Honestly, you were just incredible.
- [chuckles] Thank you.
- Well, see ya.
- You have a good one.
- Uh, what's up? Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I'm fine.
- Are you sure?
Yeah, go ahead. No worries, yeah.
Well, if you wanted, uh,
I'm not sure where you live,
but if you wanted,
I can walk some of the way with you.
Uh, all right.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, great.
All right. [clicks tongue]
- You're gonna wanna change.
- Oh, yeah, right.
- I look like a baloney at a luau.
- Yeah, sure.
[Marta] You really blew their minds,
you know?
[Raúl] I guess your speech really, uh
really helped.
Yeah, I'm pretty good
with little speeches.
- Hmm.
- And how's work going?
You're a You're an insurance broker
or a mechanic or
Human Resources.
- Oh, yeah.
- At a car dealership.
Well, see? It involves cars.
- Yeah, there are definitely cars.
- [chuckles]
[Marta] But I'm not at all like
my parents, you know? Or my sister.
- [Raúl] Ah.
- I kind of think I was adopted.
- Adopted?
- Yeah.
- And I'm really Peruvian.
- Why?
Well, because when I'm walking
down the street and I see those Peruvians
who have those instruments
with the little tubes, you know?
- Uh-huh.
- And you know they do that song
- [vocalizes]
- [Raúl vocalizes]
- Right?
- Yeah.
Well, I hear it and it makes me emotional,
like I fully start to cry.
Right, but that doesn't mean
you're adopted. I mean, I love that song.
No, no, no, no.
I'm like transported just hearing it.
I mean, I'm I'm taken
straight to the Andes. You feel me?
I'm riding a llama, traversing the Andes.
Wait, what are
That song isn't Peruvian, though.
- I feel like it's Argentinian.
- It's not?
Well, I guess I'm Argentinian.
Maybe so.
- You have a roommate?
- Yeah.
I was gonna move in with my girlfriend,
but we broke up.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
So, she ended it, then?
No, well, it was honestly
a mutual decision for us.
- Be real. She ended it.
- Yeah, yeah, she dumped me.
[both chuckle]
How long were you with her?
Four years.
Four years? Jesus! That's nuts!
No, that's not that long, is it?
Well, but you're still pretty young,
aren't you?
Yeah. Well, my grandparents
were married for 52 years.
Yeah, but, dude,
that was another time period.
- It was normal.
- Hmm.
Like, what do you think the longest
marriage ever was in all history?
Hmm. No idea. Sixty years?
No, no. More. I think because everyone
was crazier back then.
Your grandparents had You said what?
- Uh, 53.
- 53.
- But you'd get married at 20
- Well, I mean
plus 60, and life expectancy
was like 80 years.
- I think it's more than that.
- More?
Sure. You're saying it's 60, yeah?
- Let's find out.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I think it's, uh 75 years.
- I'll look it up.
- Okay.
Whoever's the closest gets the win.
- Okay. And gets?
- Yeah.
- A trip to the Maldives, I guess.
- [chuckles]
No, shit, well, they get
to give the other person a dare.
- A dare, huh? Fine. What type of dare?
- Yes.
Well, what about, you know, walk out
there and dance where those people are.
Or prance around in only your underwear
and catwalk.
- Or you could dive in, doing a cartwheel.
- No, no.
- I'm not going in the water, all right?
- Fine, Raúl.
No water dares, all right?
- But I'm looking.
- Fine.
Okay?
[Marta imitates suspenseful music]

- What?
- I won, huh? I got it?
- All right!
- No, no, I got it. I did. I got it, yeah.
- Oh, shit.
Look, here. It's 81 years and 57 days,
in Rhode Island.
Married in the '40s.
It says here. That's nuts.
So, I'm the winner! Take that! Come on.
- Fine.
- Uh [chuckles]
- Yeah?
- Uh, okay, look.
You gotta scare the next person
that passes by, all right?
- Okay, this guy. This one who's coming.
- That guy there?
Yes. But you gotta, like, scare him,
like, seriously.
- Okay, I'm going.

Any clue how much
that son of a bitch scared me?
- No, get outta here.
- I'll remember you, asshole.
Thank you. It's just a game.
- Oh, a game?
- We're playing a game.
- Get out of here, man.
- I'm sorry.
Tourists go home. Fuck off.
You're a couple of assholes.
What tourists? Bro, I'm speaking
your language, you fucking moron.
- Are you all right?
- [groaning] Fuck, it hurts.
What an asshole, seriously.

- Oh, you're laughing at me? Oh, shit.
- Sorry.
- So mean. Jeez.
Hey, sorry. It's just
[laughs] I just really
