The Manny (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

1
-Good morning!
-Morning, darling!
-Hey, Chimi.
-Has something happened at work?
[Santiago] I just want one!
-Don't you remember what day it is today?
-It's Saturday.
-Hey, look at this.
-I don't believe it!
Jimena, Saturday's club day.
[Ernesto] Since my Joaco is back,
now the time is here
to go back to our family tradition.
I haven't been there in years.
Well, since Well, since the
Mom, you can say "separation."
-I think we're all over it.
-[Joaquín] Me too.
-[both laugh]
-[Ernesto] Ah!
I mean, Joaquín's returned,
so what better time than now?
Well, Ernesto's not wrong.
Besides, I think the people at the club
miss us a lot.
-Oh really, you think?
-[Joaquín] Yes!
-Who wants to go for a swim?
-I do!
I have to keep working
on the presentation for the start-up.
Oh! You gotta relax, Jimena.
[Joaquín] It's gonna be great!
But there's something fundamental
missing here
that'll make this Saturday perfect.
[video call ringing]
[phone chimes]
What's up, Joaco? It's a miracle!
I heard you're back home
for the millionth time.
Yeah, you know how it is, Roger. I'm back.
So I'm here with my father-in-law,
and we wanted to invite you
to the club for some golf.
Thanks, that's real kind, but I can't.
I just got to the office.
And I don't have a golf partner either.
No, no, no, you gotta play.
We'll figure it out.
Of course, just what I needed,
the Holy Trinity.
If Rogelio needs a partner,
I can play with him.
-Oh man!
-Ooh!
Serious? So you got a cowboy nanny
who can also play golf?
-I'll try, Rogelio.
-[Joaquín] Well, what do you know?
-The manny's full of surprises.
-[chuckles] Literally.
Um
-[Joaquín] So we're all set then!
-[Santiago chuckles]
We're going to the club!
-[Santiago] Let's go!
-[Gabriel] Let's go!
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
Oh, Gaby, I've just sent you some cash,
in case you need it at the club.
-Yeah?
-[phone dings]
-[Jimena] Has it come through?
-Let's see.
-There it is. Perfect.
-[Jimena] Great!
-Sorted.
-Thanks.
[chuckles]
Thanks, Ofe.
-[Sofía] Come on!
-[Santiago] Get away!
-[Joaquín] Look out, kids!
-[Santiago] Don't touch me!
It's pretty cool
we're going to the club, right?
Hey, Santi, bring your gloves,
there's a game that's on.
-Huh?
-[Joaquín] Yup. I spoke to Fer's mom.
They don't have a goalie.
So I said you'll you be the goalkeeper
that leads us to glory.
Just like me and your grandpa, huh?
Um, it's been a while
since I played soccer.
Well, but I'm a really good
goalkeeper as well.
That's lovely, princess, but no.
Santi's gonna do great.
I, um, never won anything.
It was my sisters who would win.
-[laughs]
-At the dance contests, I suppose?
Ah, come on. At charrería.
Regina's great at lassoing cattle,
and she'd always say to me,
"When an opportunity appears,
you lasso it."
That's what you're gonna do with soccer.
We gotta carry on the family legacy.
Let's go, son!
Come on, up top, let's There you go!
What a great attitude!
Okay, everyone's here. Ready to go?
-[Joaquín] You serious?
-Hi.
You two are really gonna work
on the weekend?
I even brought my hat
so we can sunbathe while we work.
You know that work is my priority.
I thought that priorities had changed.
[scoffs]
Do you think I'll get in the club?
I mean, you know how people treat
older single women.
-Rich families don't like us.
-[laughs] Of course they'll let you in.
Why don't we say that you're a widow,
then no one will judge.
Mmm, sure.
-[chuckling] Bikini? Let's do it.
-Yeah, they'll definitely let you in.
Ahh!
-Come on, princess.
-Let's go!
[happy music playing]
-[Gabriel] Now with your head!
-[Leo] Now with my head?
[Gabriel laughs] Your head!
Don't go getting wet, Jime!
[both laugh]
Good thing we're not close to the pool.
If I were you,
I'd be splashing around with Leo.
[both laugh]
[Ernesto] Guess what, girls?
The green fee's been paid.
The golf is about to begin.
Hey, manny! Let's go!
It's time to see what you got.
-See you in a bit, kid.
-No! Okay!
[Gabriel chuckles]
[smooth R&B music playing]
Yeah ♪
I don't know
You're gonna get to know about this ♪
I see what's going on in your mind ♪
I guess we're just gonna have to
Figure it out ♪
There's some things
That we need to discuss ♪
[music ends]
Well, let's go.
-Bring it on!
-Uh
-Yeah. See you at the gate.
-Sure. I'll see you soon.
-[Joaquín] Chimi, bye.
-See you later, girls. Thanks.
[sighs] I wish I was the sun.
Touching him all day. [laughs]
Hey, Mom, can I get an ice cream?
Uh, why don't I go with you?
Come on.
[Brenda sighs loudly]
-Uh, can you watch Leo? I won't be long.
-Yep.
-[Jimena] Thank you, sweetie, here you go.
-[woman] Thanks.
That's for you.
[man] I'm so hungry. This looks amazing!
[Jimena] Santi?
-[woman] Delicious.
-[man] Let's go.
I love that band!
Never heard 'em before.
What's the matter? Is it about soccer?
It stopped being fun
when it became an obligation.
Oh, Santiago, you know how
your dad feels about soccer.
Yes, but he only wants to win.
Okay, no.
You gotta do what you want, all right?
Don't do it for someone else.
You can lose. Hmm?
Mom, you know going against Dad
isn't that simple.
Do you remember his response
when I told him I didn't want
to train with him for the Iron Man?
Oh. Well, you get out there
and just have some fun.
-You don't need to score a goal.
-Mom, I'm the goalkeeper.
Well, even more so.
[chuckles] You got this! Hey, come on!
Ah, there you go!
Hey, that's my father-in-law! What a shot!
This calls for a drink. Come here, Dad.
-Oh, no, no. Well, okay then.
-Manny, you go. Your turn.
Something wrong?
Feel more confident with a broomstick?
No way! Any of these clubs will work.
Look,
you can borrow this one,
which is very, very, very long.
Let's see.
Not "that" one.
[laughs]
[Gabriel laughs awkwardly]
[Joaquín] Come on, manny! That's it!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
[whimsical music playing]
-Look at that!
-[Joaquín] What was that, manny?
I thought you didn't know how to play.
-Beginner's luck, I guess.
-Looks like you lied to me.
-Okay, let's go.
-[chuckles]
Hey, what a lovely surprise this is.
I gotta say being on the same team
has turned out better
than I thought it would.
-There you go.
-Wonderful.
I meant to ask you.
Uh, how d'ya know Diego?
-Navarrete?
-Yeah.
I'm from Tepatitlán.
Everyone knows everyone.
Yeah, we play golf once in a while.
-You play with a lot of politicians?
-[inhales sharply] Nah, just a few.
I mean, they talk a lot,
so they're not my favorite,
but with Diego, we get on pretty well.
Mmm.
Hold on tight.
[engine starts]
You look more nervous
than a model on a catwalk, Santiago.
"We have to carry on the family legacy."
Don't take it so serious.
You don't get it, Sof.
I'm constantly told
that I've gotta win at everything I do.
Well, at least you get told.
No one notices me.
Ah, come on, Sofía.
You're Dad's little princess.
Yeah, but sometimes I think
that that's all they see in me.
And I'm so much more than just a princess.
[footsteps treading]
Oh my God! Look that's Da Zapopans!
They're playing a show later.
I would love to play with them.
Hey, wait, aren't they the ones whose
songs you practice every afternoon?
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm tired of waiting for my life to begin.
Gaby's right.
When an opportunity appears,
you gotta take advantage.
[pensive music playing]
-Hey there!
-Hello.
Oh, shit, shit, shit. Turn your head away.
Jimena?
-Oh! Hey!
-[woman] It's been so long!
-How are you? Mwah.
-Good, and you? Mwah.
[woman] You're working, right?
Always working so hard, this one.
Ugh, but I don't know why.
You know, it's not like we need to bother.
If you know what I mean.
We gotta enjoy life.
The privileged life.
Uh, let me introduce Brenda. She's
-Brenda is a widow.
-[woman] Aw. I'm so sorry!
Brenda dear, I'm sure that you'll find
another man soon enough who's very
Ah! Uh, super!
Speaking about men,
rumor has it that you and Joaquín
are back together.
Ah! [chuckles]
Yeah.
You know how everybody knows everything
on WhatsApp.
Oh! Yeah, I know.
But I'm glad, you know?
'Cause you're such a beautiful couple.
Come on there's a reason you win
the club's hottest couple every year.
Oh! Over here.
Could I please get two tequilas?
Uh, large.
-Yes.
-[woman] Make it three, Robert, would you?
Thank you. [giggles]
-Well, excuse us.
-Ah, you'll have to excuse me.
-Hey, did you hear about Yayis?
-[Jimena] No.
She had a big fight
-Cheers, son.
-Cheers!
You have no idea
how glad I am that you're back.
Come on, Ernesto,
the pleasure is all mine.
[Ernesto sighs]
I never stopped, and I never will stop,
seeing you as my son.
I knew that
Jimena would see reason.
-She just needed time.
-That's right.
[both laugh]
-Cheers, Ernesto.
-Cheers, son. Cheers to you.
[whimsical music playing]
What are you doing here? Where's Santiago?
He's not here. I'm playing instead.
[laughs] Are you crazy?
Give me the jersey
so someone else can be the goalie.
Then we don't have to look like fools
because of your brother.
So you'll swap in Marco and Quijano?
If you take Quijano from midfield,
we'll take a beating,
and he's the only one who counter-presses.
If you wanna win this match,
we gotta support Mario and Zapata.
They're the two best forwards.
Actually, Sof's right.
[whistle blows]
Let's see if she is. Get on the goal then.
[curious music playing]
All right then, but just for today.
I just hope the Echegarays
aren't complete frauds, you know.
-All right, let's go, team!
-Let's go, team! Come on! Come on!
[indistinct chatter]
[phone ringing]
-[scoffs] What the hell, manny?
-I'm so sorry.
There are protocols
you gotta follow, dammit!
-[Rogelio] Yeah!
-Sorry!
[Rogelio] Well, that's what happens
What is it Romina?
I'm sorry, um, I can't really talk.
[Romina on phone] Gabriel,
I got some news for you
that's hot off the press.
Do you remember my friend Cuca?
The one who's always sweeping.
Of course I remember her. She's great.
Well, so it turns out
that she works as the mayor's cook.
Go on.
[Romina]
Navarrete's gonna quit his job as mayor
so he can run for
his political party's leadership.
Don't you think that's strange?
These people always plan their every move.
So listen really carefully
and see what you can find out, okay?
Okay, Romina.
-[grunts]
-Hey, it's your turn to play.
Were you listening?
I didn't know mannies were
so in demand. Who was that?
No one.
I was getting some advice on how to win.
I think that
if you're on my team, Rogelio,
we'll easily beat the others. Am I right?
[whimsical music plays]
Are you gonna play
or you gonna go grab a coffee?
-Your turn, Gabriel.
-Agh!
-Okay, let's play!
-Come on.
Hey, Roger.
[crowd cheering]
OWLS - SHREWS
-Okay wait. Up. Come on.
-Let's go!
There you go.
[crowd cheering]
You can do it, Fernando!
[phone dings]
[Jimena] How's it going?
[phone dings]
-[Gabriel] All good, Jime.
-[gasps]
Ahh! Oh! Eee! Mmm!
Who's that?
Girl, you really hit the jackpot
when you hired that manny, didn't you?
-A manny? Oh!
-[Jimena] Mm-hmm.
She's so modern, ey?
-[awkward chuckle]
-Mmm.
-[inhales deeply]
-Huh?
[crowd clamoring]
Is Sofi the goalkeeper?
-[Brenda gasps] I do believe she is, Jime.
-[Jimena] Oh!
And, uh, where is Santi?
-Santi, where'd you go?
-[Brenda sighs]
[crowd cheering]
[singing in Spanish]
Oh, sorry, man, it's a private rehearsal.
Oh, I'm a musician too,
and I was wondering
if I could play with you guys later?
[scoffs] I don't think so.
With that look, you'd be better off
at a karaoke bar singing slow ballads.
-[laughs]
-You agree?
I'm not a singer, I play guitar,
and you guys are a bunch of assholes for
judging me based on my appearance,
when in the third song
of your first album "Crush Lobuki,"
you criticize that, so
-Hey, man, no one knows that record.
-I know that, right?
-What's your name?
-Um, my handle's SantiEchegaRock.
-[sighs] SantiEchegaRock?
-Let me see.
[electric guitar playing]
Hah! Not bad!
Santiago EchegaRock.
-[vocalist] Cool.
-[guitarist] He plays real good.
[laid-back music playing]
[exhales]
There's no need to be nervous.
If you miss, you two are gonna pay
the bill over there at hole nineteen.
[laughs]
[exhales deeply]
-[both exclaim]
-[sighs]
-Hey!
-Yes!
-No way!
-[Rogelio laughing]
There you go! [grunts]
-Very good! Congratulations!
-Did you see that?
[laughing]
-That was just fantastic!
-Hey! Hey, hey!
What the hell?
[Joaquín] It was beginner's luck.
For real.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[Joaquín speaking indistinctly]
[crowd cheering]
[whistle blows]
[crowd] No!
[indistinct chatter]
If you save it, we win this.
You sure you can do it?
Of course I am! You can trust me.
All or nothing, Echegaray.
[crowd] You can do it!
-You got this, Sofi!
-Go, Sofi!
[crowd] You can do it!
-[boy] You got this.
-[crowd cheering]
-[inhales deeply]
-[Brenda whimpers]
-[boy] Let's go!
-[man] Come on! Come on!
[woman] Let's go!
[crowd cheering]
[laughs]
[Brenda] Yes, Sofi!
Well done, Sof!
-Amazing, Sofía!
-[all cheering]
[team cheering]
-Your daughter's such a great goalkeeper!
-Amazing.
But it's kinda strange
that she likes soccer, huh?
Um, well, I don't think it's that strange.
I mean, some women like to work,
and others like, uh
-to play soccer.
-Yeah! Way to go!
And others like to get drunk by the pool.
Oh, no offense.
Don't worry, Pili,
I also like drinking by the pool.
-Well done, Sof! Bravo!
-Way to go! I love you!
[crowd continues cheering]
[whimsical music playing]
[music ends]
-[Gabriel sighs]
-What?
Are you gonna cry?
Beautiful landscapes do this to me.
[Rogelio sighs]
Thanks.
Rogelio, I'm not gay.
No.
You're just a manny,
who's sensitive,
who cries at beautiful landscapes.
[inhales deeply] If you're not gay,
I'm a fucking idiot!
[chuckles]
I'm an idiot.
Sorry. You seemed different.
Yeah. No. I'm different, just not gay.
I'm sorry if you thought I was
giving you signals or something.
Uh, it's okay.
[gentle music playing]
I'm not gonna say anything,
in case you wondered.
I don't get it.
What don't you get?
I'm the orphan nephew of Ernesto Lemus.
It's not easy.
You gotta wear a mask,
you can't just be yourself.
But you're successful, you're charismatic,
you're good-looking.
Huh? You could be happy anywhere else.
Why are you still here?
I came here for a round of golf.
[laughs] Be serious.
There's nothing in this world
that my uncle wants more
than to become a senator.
And I'm gonna help him achieve that goal.
But, Ernesto, he isn't a politician.
How can you get nominated
without experience?
It ain't easy, and it ain't cheap.
[pensive music playing]
But anyway, um, I want a drink.
Coming?
No, no, you go ahead. I'll catch up later.
[engine starts]
[pensive music continues]
[line ringing]
[Romina on phone] Hi, son.
[Gabriel] Romina, it all makes sense now.
And? What is it?
Navarrete is trying to
become party leader.
And Rogelio's trying
to get his uncle Ernesto a nomination
in exchange for a ranch.
Are you gonna tell Jimena?
Not yet, no.
At least not until I find out
if Ernesto is involved as well.
You're exactly where you need to be.
We'll speak soon, Romina.
[Joaquín] Will you have
another whiskey, Ernesto?
[Ernesto] Yes. Anyway, we need a rematch.
-Yeah.
-That was luck.
-Whenever you want.
-Agreed.
To the champions.
Mommy, may I play with Paquito?
Pretty please.
Yes, in that playground over there.
Yes!
You want me to go?
No, no, no, no, we're good.
We see him from here.
-It was even worse than that.
-What? Really?
So how'd it go?
Is the family name still up there?
Yes, we won!
-[all] Yay!
-Wonderful!
-Very good.
-Solid work, my boy.
-Um
-Dad, I was the goalkeeper this time.
I saved a penalty.
-They lifted her up on their shoulders.
-[Joaquín] What?
Hey, congratulations, Sof! That's awesome!
Ho Hold on. How was it you?
An opportunity turned up.
Sometimes victory comes
from who you least expect.
But it looks like if the achievement
comes from a Lemus woman,
then no one really cares!
Ooh!
Just as stubborn as her mother.
Hold on a second. No, princess.
I hear you loud and clear, really.
You know I'm so proud of you.
I promise you, this won't happen again.
-[both] Bzzz!
-My champion! That's so great!
Very good!
Chimi, you recorded it, didn't you?
I sure did.
[tapping on mic]
Um, there's something
really important I gotta do.
[Jimena] Okay.
-[guitarist] Hello, everyone!
-How was it?
We bring you Da Zapopans.
-[crowd cheering]
-Whoo!
[band playing]
Great! Hit it!
[Brenda] Ooh. Okay.
Hold on. Is that Santi on stage?
[singing in Spanish]
-Santi?
-Yeah!
-It is!
-Oh!
-I gotta see this.
-Come on, let's go.
Look at Santi.
[in Spanish]
I don't wear luxury clothes ♪
-Come on, Joaco, let's go.
-Take a video, will you?
Are you serious?
I'm gonna have another whiskey
with my father-in-law here. Yeah?
Thanks, Chimi.
-Oh, hey.
-A little cheers.
-Cheers to you.
-Hey!
[band continues playing]
Let's sing while we listen to Nirvana ♪
Crush Lobuki ♪
Crush Lobuki ♪
Let's go, Santi!
Let's go, Santi!
I give you, Santiago Echegaray!
-Whoo! [laughs]
-[crowd cheering]
[guitar riffs playing]
Crush Lobuki ♪
[gentle music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[laughing]
[gentle music continues]
-[washing machine beeping]
-The swimsuits go on a delicate cycle.
[Gabriel] Oh yeah. Thanks. Hmm.
[washing machine chimes]
It's been a while since we did laundry.
Yeah, since Joaquín.
I think we're getting on better.
-[Jimena] Oh?
-I even played golf with him at the club.
Don't remind me.
[inhales deeply]
The same fake laughter,
all the gossiping, all the judgement
It's a shitty environment.
But you know what?
After having spent the day at the club,
I realize something now.
I don't want that anymore.
I mean, I hate that bullshit club.
And it's just that
I'm not that same person.
It wasn't all bad.
Did you see what your kids achieved today?
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
I don't know
where they got that talent from.
[chuckles] Watching Santi on that stage,
flourishing.
Watching Sofía,
nearly lassoing a bull on her own.
[chuckles]
You've been
such an incredible influence for them.
You give me too much credit.
You've already done a lot.
Since you arrived here
everything's better.
And
sometimes I'm so jealous. [chuckles]
Because I feel like everyone is
paving a way by themselves and
and I'm stuck in the corner,
walking around in goddamn circles.
Sometimes I wish I could be as brave as
my kids were today,
so I could just break the cycle
and let it all just go to hell,
and and to get up on that stage
and be able to sing what really makes my
makes my heart feel whole.
[emotional music playing]
Why don't you do it?
[chuckles]
Thank you, Gabriel.
[emotional music continues]
[game playing on TV]
Hm! Chimi, come here.
This match replay is super-good.
[crowd cheering on TV]
[exhales sharply]
[turns off TV]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[whistles] Referee!
[TV resumes]
Joaquín
I think we've been playing extra time
for a while now.
And if I'm honest,
I don't wanna get to penalties with you.
Chimi, what are you trying to say?
Although it's true that
you've scored some incredible goals,
whenever I'm with you, I feel offside.
Chimi, what the hell?
I mean, pay attention, would you?
That wasn't offside.
[TV turns off]
-What are you trying to say here?
-Um, yes. It seems extra time is over.
The match is done.
Joaquín, I want the divorce.
And I won't look back this time.
Is it a red card?
You're sent off.
