The Manny (2023) s02e06 Episode Script

1
[women cheering]
[Jimena] I am a walking red flag.
[indistinct chatter in video]
[sighs]
Babe, come on,
you're being way too hard on yourself.
You wanted to win,
and you got carried away.
I have to confess something, though
The red flags were all me. [laughs]
But, come on, it was hilarious.
[inhales deeply]
And Brenda, the worst thing is
I can't stop thinking
[sighs] about Gabriel.
You gotta forget that, girl.
Matías isn't just your business partner.
He's your fiancé, right?
You should help him out a little.
Present him to the investors
and say he's not only your partner,
he's also your future husband.
[sighs]
And Gabriel will assist us with that.
Hmm?
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
[song ends]
[cheerful music playing]
So what's with these flowers on the bed?
Well, they're for you.
I thought you would like it.
Oh, I love it.
Too bad your guilt is all I can smell.
[sighs]
Yeah. I know I know, Violeta,
and you're right.
I think that we should discuss
what happened.
All right, I'm all ears.
Listen, I get it if that freaked you out,
but in my defense,
it was a game, and my hands were tied.
And I really wasn't sure
how to react to the kiss.
Forgive me?
[sighs]
Yeah, you're right.
-I don't even know why we went.
-Yeah.
And come to think of it,
I know I've done worse things
at other bachelorette parties, so
Exactly. Right.
Uh
You know what, though?
-No, I don't even want to ask.
-No.
[phone dings]
Don't tell me. Jimena.
Close.
It's Brenda.
She wants to meet us at the company.
Okay.
[Brenda] Do you think Matías realized
what happened?
Well, no, I
I don't think that Matías knows.
He would've said something,
and so far he's been, well, normal.
Hmm normal, normal?
Or normal, "normal"?
Well, I don't know! "Normal."
[Jimena scoffs]
[Claudia] Sofía, wait a sec.
We have to get that
entrepreneur project going.
Everyone's already presented except us.
No way am I gonna work with you.
Failing sounds better.
Listen, I'm not moving from here until
you and I agree on some stuff.
I never thought for a minute
that one little kiss with Abel
would cause all that drama.
It was a very childish attempt
to get your attention.
Mm-hmm.
We only did it because
Abel genuinely likes you.
I get it if you don't want to see me
after we're done, but, we
we have to do this together.
-And I need your help with this.
-Sorry, say what?!
I have a scholarship,
and if my grades fall,
then I might lose it.
I really can't afford to fail classes.
Why are you staying so quiet though?
Because I don't want anyone
knowing about it.
At my other school
I was made fun of a lot.
So much that I had to transfer.
And seriously,
I don't want it happening here.
I got really tired of
everyone giving me stares of pity.
Wow, they really did that to you?
Fine.
We can meet at my house tomorrow,
and we'll plan it together.
'Kay. Perfect then.
[gentle guitar music playing]
SCHOOL BOOK FAIR
[Matías] These aren't the final plans,
but I think, more or less,
the placement of the treatment plant
will be near this area.
-It's just I don't really know if
-My sweet!
Hey, honey.
[whimsical music playing]
Um Uh
-[Jimena moaning]
-[Violeta scoffs]
-[chuckles]
-Good morning.
Um, well, it's actually good
you're all here.
We need to put
an event together right away
so we can introduce Matías
to all of our investors
as our future project director.
[Matías chuckles]
-Thank you, sweetheart.
-No. No, no, no, no, no.
No thanks necessary, honey.
You've pushed
this whole entire thing forward.
I called you to ask
if you could create a presentation for me
detailing the green actions
that you guys will include.
Of course, Jimena.
We'll make sure we get
right to work on that.
Yes, the only thing that we'll need
are the final plans for the land,
and Gabriel and I will make it happen.
Yes, of course.
Matías, sweetie, would you help me out
and email these guys
all the materials they need for that?
Of course. I'll send them everything
right this moment. I have it all here.
[sighs]
I brought you all the information
about the best finance schools.
If you ask me though,
this is the best one.
-[doorbell rings]
-They have campuses in several countries.
[Santiago] Thanks, Grandpa,
but the truth is
[Joaquín] Santi! Hey!
-[sighs]
-What's up, ex-father-in-law?
How are we doing?
I thought today we said four o'clock.
I was just trying to show Santi
some info about the world's
greatest finance schools.
Did you decide yet?
No, Dad, but the truth is
that finance isn't really
Of course not. Finance is super boring,
Santi. It's all numbers.
What's exciting is law.
Imagine it, kiddo. People will pay you
to fix all of their problems.
They'll treat you like a god.
And I'll tell you, it's bangin', son.
No, wait. What I want to study is music.
-Music?
-Music?
[Joaquín sighs]
I recall when I got into music.
Actually, I was often confused
with Luis Miguel.
But, well, that's another story.
You need a degree.
And you have to study
a real career, kiddo.
-Yeah, music's just a hobby.
-Mm-hmm.
Look, tomorrow I have an appointment
to show my demo to a record label.
And if it goes well,
they may even sign me.
And if they don't?
Don't waste your time with that.
Here.
Uh uh all right, all right.
I think we don't lose anything if we go.
Hey, how about this?
You take me tomorrow,
and I promise I'll give
both law and finance a chance.
Sounds perfect, son. That's it, my champ!
That's it. All right.
[Joaquín chuckles] All right.
That's how we do it.
Kid, are you serious? Luis Miguel?
"¿Cómo dice?"
Huh? Huh? Right?
[laughing]
-[gentle music playing]
-[crickets chirping]
[Matías] Whatcha watching?
Ah, just something silly.
[chuckles]
My love.
I want you to know that I'm very grateful
that you're introducing me
to your clients.
[chuckles softly] It's my pleasure.
I swear on everything I love,
I won't let you down,
beautiful.
[chuckles softly]
[pensive music playing]
[kissing]
[Gabriel] Violeta.
Are you sure that this is the right file?
Well, it's what we got from Matías.
Although, the land topography data here
is all wrong in these plans.
Without the correct plans,
this is really impossible.
No, jeez, Matías is just weighing us down!
[sighs]
[whimsical music playing]
-What's up? How's it goin'?
-Hello.
What's up? Hello.
-[hip-hop music plays]
-[Santiago] Oof!
Surely no one's paying them a thing.
They came with their pants all torn!
Ah, come on, ex-father-in-law.
That's because they want
to throw off their enemies.
-Those are some fancy pants right there.
-Shh!
[in Spanish] You think you're a rooster
A bigger crest is coming ♪
Thug versus thug
Place your bets ♪
Underground fights
With dogs, roosters, and boxing ♪
This is the real street
Period, that's it ♪
Uh-huh ♪
[belches]
[in English] Are they
really recording that?
Yeah, Grandpa. It's a guttural sound
from your solar plexus.
It's a cry of agony
and a celebration of life.
Well said, Santi. I dig that.
Yeah. It was good, right? Yeah. [chuckles]
Ah, you don't know anything,
ex-father-in-law. You don't have flow.
[Claudia] We could make
a hydroponic garden?
No.
My plants always end up dead,
and I don't know why.
If you need to get a good grade,
then plants are a no-go.
-Here's an idea. How about a dog shelter?
-Aren't there enough of those?
And plus, I'm really
just more of a cat person, so
-[chuckles]
-[Sofía sighs]
[exhales]
Gabriel, why are you here?
Well, I'm here for Matías,
but he's not here.
I was at the land, Jime.
And those plans he emailed us,
they're all wrong.
They've got none
of the topographical studies.
We've got no clue what the slope
of the land is without those.
Well, there's got to be some explanation.
I'll I'll speak to Matías.
Listen, I think that what you already have
is plenty for you to press on.
It's important you get
these investors to love the project
so they'll feel confident and invest.
I understand all of that.
But I can't work this way, okay?
I feel that we have to be as
close to reality as possible here, and
Hey, hey! Stop!
What are you saying, Gabriel?
I think we should postpone this event
until things are in order.
Are you really saying this right now
because you have something against Matías?
That has nothing to do with it.
I'm trying to be professional with this.
I don't plan to postpone this event,
so I need you to please figure it out.
All right.
We'll press on as requested.
I should be going.
[sighs]
What's good? Can I get you guys a beer?
Yeah, right here.
All right.
Uh, let's see. Why not?
[chuckles]
[gulps]
[belches]
[all laughing]
Yo, who would have thought, bro?
Look at that.
You can also make some music, huh?
Call me Joaco. That's my, uh, stage name.
Wait, hold up. You took Santi's beer.
Mmm
-[man] Salud?
-[bottles clinking]
Well, listen, it's time we head out.
Our next meeting awaits, fellas.
We don't want to be late.
Uh
But, Grandpa, my demo.
Ah, you know how it is. He's an old-timer.
But anyway, guys Peace.
[indistinct chatter]
Come on.
I'm telling you, Rogelio,
this Gabriel is turning into a problem.
Ever since Jimena brought
this guy on board,
he won't stop trying to
make us fight each other.
I don't think it's something
that we can resolve.
[scoffs] Look at this.
Jimena's complaining to me now,
because Gabriel told her
the plans I emailed him
are not up-to-date.
And why don't you have
things over there in order?
No, no, I will. I will.
You don't have to worry.
I just don't appreciate
this pain in the neck
trying to mess with everything I'm doing.
My cousin might seem unappreciative,
sure, but she's definitely not an idiot.
It's logical that she would ask you for
the project details to be up-to-date.
Do whatever you have to get it done.
I've got enough dirt on you
to send you to prison.
And Matías,
no one's giving you money here just
because you're good-looking.
[Ernesto] That's why
this country's not progressing.
Jokers like that,
getting drunk during work hours,
they think they're musicians?
Yeah, I mean, it's not a great thing
to be drinking like that,
out of nowhere, for no reason.
Yeah, but I've seen both of you guys
closing deals
with a whiskey, or a tequila,
and you do it sometimes at golf!
No, no. All right.
That's very different, okay?
That's for celebration.
And we never drink with minors, right?
Well, I think me having
a little extra confidence wouldn't hurt.
And after all that, now I don't even know
if they liked my demo.
I might never know.
[Ernesto exhales]
Look, you're right, Santi.
And I'll call and apologize
if you want, all right?
No, no, no. I think that would
just make everything worse.
[sighs] Can you please forgive us, Santi?
All we want is to help you make
the best decision for your future,
and that, at the end of the day,
well, that's your decision.
And all that we will ask is that
you give each of us a chance.
-That's right.
-[Santiago] All right, then.
And tomorrow,
we'll go wherever you guys like.
Oh, hey, champ,
All that burping stuff,
where'd you get that, huh?
It's just, I thought
I might have read it in a book by Jordi.
That Jordi's quite a guy.
-Solid.
-[groans]
Or what if we created a cannery?
-[scoffs]
-Okay, I guess not. Man.
[knocking on door]
Excuse me, dear.
-Hello.
-How are ya?
[gasps]
Wow!
[playful music playing]
[gasps]
[laughs]
I had no idea you were so into fashion.
You know where I can find the girl who
owns the most stylish skirt of the season?
Hello?!
I mean, I know oversized
and upcycled stuff is also very in, Sof.
But honestly,
you have these jewels in your closet,
and I just don't get
why you never wear them.
All right, Claudia.
We've been at this for hours,
and we still have nothing.
I think it's time that you leave
and you and I go our separate ways.
-Are you serious?
-Yes. I am.
[Claudia scoffs]
Okay.
-Well, excuse me, then.
-Go ahead, hon.
Oh, hey, sweetheart,
you were supposed to be doing
your big assignment together, right?
[sentimental music playing]
All these theatrics Jimena put together
are just to make Matías look good.
And I'm worried it's gonna
end up affecting us.
You're worried Jimena's making
all of this happen so Matías looks better?
Or that you and I won't do
the presentation well,
and we'll look bad?
Because if it's the first one, you really
shouldn't have to worry about that.
You're right, I know.
We gotta be sure
that we've done all of this the right way.
Gabriel, why don't we,
um, head out of here and go home,
and we'll make something tasty to eat,
and open up a nice bottle of wine?
-Hmm?
-Yeah yeah.
[phone chimes]
[sighs]
BLUEPRINTS FINAL VERSION
He finally sent the right plans.
I think I'd better stay and check 'em.
-[breathes deeply]
-[keyboard clacking]
[whimsical music playing]
[music ends]
[gentle music playing]
[keypad beeping]
[line ringing]
[female voice on phone] Hello?
Hi. How are you?
Welcome! Thanks for joining us.
Everything's gonna be cool.
Come on, girl.
Your jaw looks like it's about to crack.
Will you relax?
-Welcome. Thank you for being here.
-Hey, welcome, guys.
-Good afternoon.
-Jimena, this is spectacular.
No, I mean it. Plus, you got
the Arangurens, Urreas, and Vergaras here?
Hey, it's so good to see you guys.
We're totally VIP!
-They're all here.
-You nailed it, sweetheart.
Well, your fiancée has a great ability
to gather people, Matías.
Everyone trusts her.
No doubt. And I'm the first one
to have full confidence in her.
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music playing]
[gasps]
And I know we'll all shine,
and everything's gonna go perfect.
So sorry, but it's Perla Salgado.
Perla, how are you?
What an honor you came. And, um
-Hi there. Thank you for inviting me.
-Please, come on in!
Please, come in.
You know, I've always liked being a part
of projects like these.
They're so so noble.
-I think it'll be very productive.
-It sure will.
Uh, Brenda, would you help me
and accompany Perla with the investors?
-Why, of course.
-Ah.
How lovely.
Welcome again.
[sighs]
How is she here?
[Matías sighs]
[Joaquín] We have to read
all of this? Oof!
These are reports from a high-tech company
that needs financing.
Can you imagine? They create cyborgs!
Like The Terminator?
Hasta la vista, ex-pop-in-law. Huh?
[laughing]
This is not a joke, Joaquín.
Hey, okay, okay. What do we do, then?
[Ernesto] You'll do an analysis
to determine whether or not
you'd give them the funding.
Check it out.
Mmm.
Mmm?
Uh [clears throat]
-I gotta go.
-What? You're not gonna help me?
I have to go make a call.
Who's the champ? Who's the champ?
Who's my champ?
Come on, my champ. All right!
Make it happen. "I'll be back."
[Jimena] Can you explain
how this happened?
It's just that her assistant reached out
to find out why I tried to access
that information.
And I mean, sweetheart, I had no choice.
I had to tell her what we're doing
and invite her to the event here.
-If she discovers
-[sighs]
that you're doing this with all
the most important investors in Jalisco
and you didn't invite her
Perla will think I'm shutting her out.
-And based on what you said
-Better to keep her close.
Exactly, honey. It helps us. Hmm?
Relax. It's gonna be a success.
[sighs] Yeah. Okay, well, come on.
We should go.
[Sofía grunts]
Before, when you were in here,
looking through my clothes and everything
I felt vulnerable.
But now I think I'm ready
to tell the truth.
Okay, I wanted to escape Abel's male gaze,
so I stopped wearing all of that.
I wasn't sure I wanted him
to like me like that,
and, at the time,
I just wanted to disappear entirely.
I mean, I understand.
I've also had days where
I wished I was invisible.
But never change the person you are
for anyone else, girl.
-I do really miss my look.
-[Claudia chuckles]
So, hey do you like Abel?
[sighs]
Yeah.
But, um, I don't know
if I want us to get together yet.
But here, look.
Try this skirt on.
[chuckling]
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs]
[mouse clicking]
Mmm
[Santiago tsks]
-[chuckles softly]
-[phone chimes]
Mmm.
[phone ringing]
[keypad beeping]
[footsteps approaching]
Mmm, mmm.
[printer whirring]
[keyboard clacking]
Mmm.
[playful music playing]
And now, we're about to see
what you know about style.
[giggling]
["Discoman" playing]
No, no, no, no, no.
[Claudia laughs]
-[laughs]
-[Sofía] Ahh! [laughs]
Yeah! Yeah! [chuckles]
That color looks great.
Ooh. Ooh.
[Sofía giggles]
[Claudia laughs]
[laughing]
[laughing]
[Gabriel] Everything's ready, right?
The presentation looks incredible.
-[Gabriel sighs]
-It's gonna be awesome, you'll see.
Plus, you're great
at convincing people to do things.
You just need to own it.
I just don't believe in Matías
and Jimena's project anymore.
Hey, just forget those guys.
Please think of this as an opportunity
for the two of us to connect
with some clients that are very important.
No, Violeta. Remember that
this is an event for Matías to shine.
Not us, okay?
[pensive music playing]
["Discoman" continues]
[Claudia gasps] It's super late!
Oh, no, Sof, look,
I had the best time hanging with you,
but the whole day's gone
and we still have no project at all.
What do you mean?
I mean, no project could beat us
having things worked out.
And now it'll be even easier
for us to agree on what business
we'll choose for our project.
Yeah, you're right.
[gentle music playing]
This one here.
And this skirt looks
a hundred times better on you.
-So here, it's all yours.
-Are you serious?
No. I'm just playing!
-[laughing]
-Sofía!
[both laughing]
Okay, now keep on folding.
-We still have a lot to put away.
-Let's put it away.
[Ernesto] Everything ready?
Did you decide?
-Are we funding them or not?
-Dang, Grandpa.
-Honestly, I got a bit distracted.
-What's up, champ? Did you finish up?
Listen, to tell you the truth,
I didn't do anything.
But I wrote a brand-new song. Listen.
[phone ringing]
[phone keypad beeping]
That's so sick, Santiago.
So there's art there, huh?
All right, all right.
Please, stop, stop, stop, Joaquín.
It's better we just tell the truth.
[keypad beeping]
Look, Santi, the truth is,
your granddad and I are scared.
If it doesn't work, what then?
How will you survive?
We just don't want you to starve to death.
[Joaquín] That's basically it.
[phone dings]
-Mmm.
-Ay!
You've gotta be kidding!
They said they liked my demo.
They want us to play it for them
in person.
[Joaquín] What?
-They do?
-They do?
I gotta hit up my band.
-That's it, my champ!
-Whoo!
Oh, ex-father-in-law,
I told you, didn't I?
Santi is very talented,
just like his father.
Champ.
There are three stages to the project.
The first of which is sewage treatment
to irrigate all the common areas.
See that? Everyone is fascinated.
This whole night is spectacular.
I don't understand why you were
so insufferable, Gabriel.
Because I'm uncomfortable
working like this, Jimena.
-And just how is "that"?
-Pretending like nothing matters.
It's what they taught us
in our school days,
that we'd need to do to save our world.
Doesn't matter that the plans
we got were all incorrect.
Doesn't matter that
we're missing information.
Doesn't matter that Matías
has invited Perla.
Nor does it matter that I was the one
you kissed at your bachelorette party.
[Violeta] Um, and in your hands
Do you really think
this is the best time to speak about it?
For the first part of
It was just a game, Gabriel.
Don't overreact here.
No, no, Jimena.
You and I have played plenty
of games before this,
but that, that was no game at all.
[Violeta] That's why it's fundamental
for us you invest in this opportunity
You know what? You are totally correct.
It's been a long time
that we've been playing this game,
and at this point,
I don't want to play it anymore.
[Violeta] And we guarantee our ideas
are all 100% sustainable.
Thanks a lot, Violeta.
And thank you to all of you who are here.
And, well,
I want to take advantage of this time,
and also, your presence, to, uh
to thank someone who's really
been by my side for this entire project.
Can I please get a round of applause
for my partner in business,
and my future husband too,
Matías Zermeño.
[people applauding]
And now we're gonna
be handing out some envelopes
with symbolic checks inside.
These represent the confidence
that I'm asking for you to have
in this project.
And I'm sure that with the leadership
of Matías Zermeño,
Primavera 6060 will be a success,
and that is why I'm making
the first contribution.
[people applauding]
We appreciate your trust in us.
[pensive music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[applause continues]
[crickets chirping]
[Violeta sniffles]
[exhales]
Violeta.
Thank you for all of your support today.
[sighs] You got it.
[gentle music playing]
I know it's not the best time to say this.
[breathes deeply]
But, uh, I realized recently that
the thing with Jimena is
it's very complicated.
And right now, I don't think there's
space in your heart for another woman.
[sighs]
I really did want it to work.
[chuckles] Well, the thing
that I wished for
is to be in your life always.
But the one way that can happen
is for you and I to stay friends,
nothing more than that.
I don't want to get hurt again.
No, no, no.
[gentle music continues]
I love you so much.
You know that, right?
[sighs] Yeah, same here.
[sniffling]
Well
I think we should take a few days,
get settled, and then we'll see, okay?
In the meantime,
we keep going with this job.
I'll stay with my folks for a couple days,
and after that we'll see what to do
about all this.
[Violeta sighs]
Mmm. [exhales]
[gentle music continues]
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
Okay.
I'll, um I'll see you
at the office, okay?
[Matías] I never imagined things
would end up like this.
I mean, it was beautiful.
You don't even know
how many checks they gave us.
Everything went amazingly.
And the project
that little rancher came up with
really ended up being the best trap
to catch all of those flies.
So everything's good with the manny?
Well, other than him making out
with Jimena? It's under control.
-Gabriel was making out with Jimena?
-Just like you heard.
And she thinks I didn't see,
but I saw perfectly well
that they were making out
at our bachelor party.
Playing dumb ended up
being the best strategy,
'cause Jimena had to carry so much guilt,
she was the first one to invest there.
Hmm!
What's more?
Perla Salgado, after all that,
deposited a very substantial amount.
[tense music playing]
Perla Salgado?
I specifically said
I don't want to involve her.
Well, just chill. I already handled her.
Now we involved her
so she wouldn't feel left out,
and I convinced Jimena
it was the best option.
-[scoffs]
-Matías, listen!
The one I'm worried about is not Jimena.
It's Perla.
I said it to you plenty, Matías!
Look, Rogelio, you have to risk big
if you want to win big.
Hmm?
And that's knowledge
you haven't learned quite yet.
[sighs]
Well, thank you so very much.
Uh, what a wonderful time
and a delicious dinner. [chuckles]
Well, you don't need to say thanks.
Actually, I just wanted
to hear from you directly
about the project, like this,
you and me, in person.
You know, like we always do.
Yeah, sure. And any questions you've got,
anything that you need,
at any time you need it, I'll
I'll be here for you.
Well, great.
Good night, then.
Jimena.
[pensive music playing]
A commitment is a thing
that is very serious.
Fragile, you could say, even.
I just hope that your heart is gonna
bet on the correct one, here.
Hmm?
[inhales deeply] Yeah.
Yes. Uh, I know it is.
-Um, well, good night.
-Good night.
[pensive music continues]
[car door closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[car engine starts]
[engine revving]
