Come on, Memo. Pasta to table 22.
JULIA ROJAS FOOD CRITIC
Table 24. Table 11.
Memo?
Yes, sir?
Listen, you bastard.
We've got a VIP order, if you don't get it right...
...I'll slow roast a pair of testicles...
-...and they won't be mine. -Okay, chef.
Lentils are ready.
Just put them in the center of the plate.
Do not stir them.
-Chicken, please. -It's ready.
Okay, go.
Okay, chef.
Thank you.
Let the chef know...
...this is.... Too risky.
But it's delicious!
Can we have a toast now?
Finally!
By the way, they called from GQ.
They've been trying to reach you, unsuccessfully.
No kidding! You know what happened?
I silenced my mobile.
But let's check it out.
Is it work, or are you trying to get me a boyfriend?
It's a real interview with the editor of GQ.
My God!
I've got a voicemail from Manu.
Julia, it's me, Manuel. Yes, I know, you must be absolutely mad at me...
-...because I vanished. I just landed in Mexico. -Who is that?
Call me ASAP. I urgently need to talk to you. Love you.
-What's with the smile? -What?
Did you meet Mr. Right and didn't tell me?
Not at all! It's Manu.
My best friend. My Manu.
I mean, I know we were involved in the past.
We had a passionate romance the last term of college.
But, you know, I freaked out and we broke up.
-Were you soulmates? -Not exactly.
Because we are, like, very different, but....
He's.... I don't know.
He's like you.
He is like you, but without the gay thing.
And who told you I'm gay?
-Nobody, I'm making it up. -Did you hurt yourself?
Hey, you know what happened ten years ago?
-What happened? -We were in Tulum.
-And you know what he said to me? -What?
"If we turn 35 and neither of us is married...
...promise you'll marry me."
How old are you gonna be in three weeks?
Thirty-five.
-And how old is he? -You're kidding me.
I see it coming. There's gonna be a wedding.
-Congratulations. -Of course not!
Of course you do, honey. To the bride and groom.
Life's too short, enjoy it!
I just landed in Mexico. Call me ASAP.
I urgently need to talk to you. Love you.
THE FORK EXPERT REVIEW
JULIA ROJAS, CRITIC OF THE YEAR
Hello?
Mr. Manuel Escalante, this is your weekly porn call.
And how is my weekly pornstar doing?
How cool to hear you! I've missed you so much.
Liar! You've been on vacation for ages!
-I can't believe it. -I know. Tell me about it.
My life has changed a lot. But that's not why I called you.
It's just that....
I met someone.
Oh, that's great!
-During my trip. -Oh, on your trip?
That's right, in Berlin.
-She's German! -No.
No, she's from Guadalajara.
She's gorgeous! You're going to love her. She is great.
Her dad's a billionaire, owner of a soccer team in Guadalajara.
They're very nice, cool people.
What? You know her parents and all that stuff?
Yes, I met them in Madrid.
Juli, you need to know this....
We're getting married this Saturday in Guadalajara.
Hello? Hello?
Juli? Juli?
-Manu! -Are you there?
It's Monday night and you're getting married on Saturday?
Isn't that a little impulsive?
I'm scared to death! I don't know what to do.
And if you're not there to hold my hand and tell me everything's gonna be okay...
...I don't know what's going to happen.
I need you. Please, be there.
-I.... -Great! Excellent!
I can't wait for you to meet her. You're gonna love her.
Love you.
Honey, you can't fly like that, huh?
Why don't we stop and have a few tequilas...
-No! -...and you relax?
-You don't get it. -And you take the next flight.
You don't get it! I have four days to stop a wedding...
...and steal the groom, and I have no idea how to do it.
He was in love with me.
And her? She's known him for five minutes.
Turns out the bitch is a billionaire and perfect.
So don't feel sorry for the sweet girl from Guadalajara.
I didn't say anything. I'm quiet.
I'm gonna stop him from doing something stupid.
Go get him, honey. You can do it.
How are you?
-Can you believe it? -No.
Me neither.
Now everything's perfect!
Since day one, he's like: "Julia this, Julia that."
I couldn't wait to meet you. You know what?
I've always wanted a sister, and now I have you.
Hey, you're beautiful!
I told you. I know.
-Come on, let's go. -Come on.
I'm gonna sound pretty rude, but I need to ask you a favor.
My best friend, China.... Well, her name is Tamara...
...she broke her hip tap-dancing.
The thing is, I wanted to ask you...
...if you want to be my maid of honor.
Really?
Don't you want to offer the job to your second best friend?
Someone you know better?
Go fuck yourself, asshole!
People are stupid!
I can't because my cousins are my bridesmaids...
...and the only family members under 50 living in Monterrey...
...they're unbearable and really slutty.
This is my exit.
-Oh, my God! -Thanks!
We have four days to party and tell each other our little secrets...
...and become best friends.
I'll make an adjustment to the dress so she won't trip.
Don't you prefer the lavender dress?
Aren't all the bridesmaids supposed to wear the same color?
Not you.
You hate following the rules.
What else did he say about me?
I'll get my scissors.
He told me...
...you don't like weddings.
You hate ordinary things.
You don't like female roles.
Come here.
You don't believe in marriage.
You don't like romance, you don't believe...
In love? No, I don't.
...in love.
Let me tell you, I wasn't very compatible with Manu.
I know! That's exactly what he told me, you weren't compatible.
I thought I was just like you.
Until I met your silly friend.
And then I realized...
...I was just as corny and cheesy...
...as all the fool girls I used to criticize.
-I need a cigarette. -Sure.
Shit!
She just keeps talking about Manu all the time...
...about how happy they are, about their future. She's all excited.
-Now even I want them to get married. -What will you do?
-I need a plan to take them apart. -Hey, Julia....
What?
Here.
Okay, then.
Hey.
You still look good naked.
All that looks firm, nice.
Okay.
-George? Are you still there? -Yes, I'm here.
-What did he say? -This girl is screwed!
We made it!
So, what about the honeymoon?
It depends. If Santos beats Tuzos...
...we might start in Torreón or Pachuca.
-But that's not sure, because Phoenix.... -Are you kidding me?
What do you mean?
The honeymoon of any princess's dreams, lovely!
It's his job and I support him.
The point of a honeymoon is being together, right?
Don't get me wrong.
I mean, Manu was so lucky to meet you.
Yes, because between us, Manu is, like, full of surprises.
Right? I guess you're already aware of his breathing problem.
His snoring?
Tell me about it! He sounds like a wheezing train.
-I know. -He is now....
His snoring is now sounding like...
...a reverberating phlegm, like:
He tells the same jokes a thousand times.
He loves karaoke and I can't even sing in the shower.
Really?
But you know what?
No one's ever kissed me like him.
Well, I can't say.
Those memories aren't quite fresh.
I wrote a pro-con list for two weeks.
Until I said, "For God's sake, Pamela, stop!"
Hey....
Then I said, "The hell with the list. Pamela...
...Manu is not a Facebook profile or a Pinterest site, he is just Manuel."
You're going to love him for who he is."
I don't understand why you.... Don't you get agitated in closed places?
Thank you for caring about me.
But nothing will make me hesitate to marry him.
Don't you find it hard to breathe in small spaces?
Except one thing.
You.
You'll always be in his mind.
That perfect girl he was in love with for so many years.
But at some point even perfection bores you.
I'm in therapy!
I'm a very competitive girl.
I'm not gonna be jealous of you my whole life!
-We're gonna keep hanging out. -No need to.
-Never mind, it's very simple. -Very simple indeed.
-You win. -What?
You win.
He has you on a pedestal.
I'm in his arms.
Just look!
Here's the bride and the girl who will overshadow her, like, forever and ever.
Are you okay?
I'm sure Pam has already overwhelmed you.
I'm Julia. Hi.
We're Chio and Tami Garza Sada.
-We are the unbearable cousins. -And slutty.
Have you checked the best men yet, Jules?
We have.
Is this Manuel's Julia?
I am, madam.
-I'm Isabel Retana. -Nice to meet you.
You're much more beautiful in person.
You have nothing to worry about.
That girl is no match for you.
My husband wants you to visit the stadium.
But first I'm going to introduce you to some old ladies.
-She's Julia. -Hello!
WELCOME
A beer, gentlemen?
-Hi! -I'll introduce you.
This gentleman here is Enrique Retana, my father-in-law.
-She's Julia. -Your father-in-law-to-be.
If this boy bothers you, Waldo will smack him in the head.
-Great! -And you know this old man.
He has a pact with the devil, he looks younger every time I see him.
I insisted that you should be his best man.
But he chose his little brother.
But Pam's already made her maid of honor.
Here's what I can't believe. Pilon, you're so big and handsome!
-Hi. -Hello.
Hey! Let her go, son!
-Let her go. -I'm sorry.
The best man and the bridesmaid dance together at the wedding party...
...get ready.
Now you dance?
Sure, I've already practiced my dance steps.
You're going to be amazed.
I can't believe it!
Who are you?
You're not my friend, you're not Julia. Julia doesn't dance, who are you?
It's just been a long time since we've seen each other.
They switched you. That's it.
-It's an interesting soccer match. -Don't change the subject.
Where's Julia? I want her back.
Really, you can't imagine how different I am now.
-Really? Tell me, then. -Yes, really. Wait. You mean...
-...when we were.... -Together?
Yes.
-Yes what? -You hated it.
You hated when I kissed you, or hugged you in front of people.
-You just don't like it. -I have changed.
-Really? -I'm different now.
Okay, tell me. I want to know.
Have you had a relationship that lasted more than two days, two nights?
Length has nothing to do with it. What I mean is....
How comfortable you can get...
...in the cheesiness of love?
And how comfortable are you in the cheesiness of love?
Comfortable.
-How comfortable? -Very comfortable.
Very? How much?
You need to shout.
Goal!
Chivas! Chivas! Chivas!
-Hi. Table for three. -Good evening.
This way, please.
-And this? -I had no idea it was a karaoke.
Stop crying, my love
Stop crying
I'm happy to be with the two most important women in my life.
Thank you.
-Something to drink? -Whiskey!
-Hey! On the rocks for him. -Neat for her.
-Hey! Enough! -You, enough!
I'll have a beer, please.
-Okay. Two words. -Okay.
Whiskey, and Vespa.
-Florence. -That's right!
-Holding you all night. -I love Florence.
-The old man in the bar.... -A big, hairy man. Horrible.
"Hey, this is a fishing dock!
Don't take your clothes off, guys."
-I love Florence, it's beautiful. -Take her.
-Seriously, it's lovely. -You deserve a nice honeymoon.
Yes, why not?
You don't need to wait for Santos to beat Tuzos.
But you'll have to travel before September.
-When do you start your term? -No, I'm not going back to college.
What? Are you serious?
Let's hear it for Leo, who did a great job tonight.
Thank you, Leo.
Please hand over the microphone to a brave person....
But you need a degree to get a job as an architect.
The thing is, the league is about to start.
I'll start traveling to cover soccer, baseball, and football games....
My first priority is being with him.
-There'll be plenty of time.... -My priority is you.
Who is our next brave singer?
-Can we go to Florence? -Let's go to Florence.
Hey, look!
-Hey, you! Sing for us! -No! Please don't!
No, she's not going to sing. She hates singing.
-Do it. -No, no....
-Yeah, why not? -Because I don't want to.
-Hello, people. -Manu, come on!
-Don't. That's not cool. -My bride-to-be....
-Why not? -She hates it.
-My bride-to-be... -She said she hates it.
...is going to delight us with an amazing song.
-You are. -I'm not.
-I'll be here. -No, no.
Let's hear it for her. Cheer her up!
-Right? -Come on.
Sing for us! Sing for us!
-Do it. -It's a game, enjoy it.
-What do you say? -Do it!
It seems that we have our next singer.
Join us on the stage.
Come on. Don't be afraid.
Our next singer is...?
-Pamela. -To the microphone.
The stage is yours. Pamela will sing for you.
I want to wrap you in my arms
Don't leave a gap between you and me
Be the taste in your mouth
And fill me entirely with your scent
Be confidant
And knowing you inside
Like a living tattoo
Cover myself in your skin
Living forever in you
I'm not asking the moon from you
You suck!
Loving you
I want to be that passion That bursts deep inside you
Run against the wind
Know your feelings
With our entangled bodies
We'll long for all the winters
Kiss me
In your arms you'll find a warm touch
Feel me
Fragile as a piece of paper
You make me shake
I'm not asking the moon from you
I just want to love you
I want to be that passion That bursts deep inside you
I'm not asking the moon from you
I just want to be there for you
I'm not asking the moon from you
I just want a moment
To feel our bodies
And steal the star
You and I see when making love
Terrible!
But I loved it.
-Here is our cab. -Where is Julia?
Julia....
Wait, aren't you going to be very lonely without us?
-Poor little thing. -Don't go.
-Shall we stay? -Can you imagine?
Grandma will die if we don't attend that dinner.
I would gladly stay with this young man, but....
-It's the bride's turn. -It's not a big deal.
Really?
Are you sure?
What do you mean?
I'm staying with Manu, and you go to the dinner.
Sure! Go ahead, it's not that important.
-Great! Say hi to Grandma. -Okay. Thanks.
-You call me? -Yes, yes. Goodbye.
She left.
What do we do?
-Do you want to go for a walk? -Yes.
What did you think when I told you I was getting married?
Were you shocked?
-No! -You weren't?
Be honest.
Honestly?
My blood pressure did drop a little.
I noticed.
-You didn't! -Yes, I did.
She's a great girl.
She's got everything in her favor.
With everything she's sacrificing.
You mean...
...college?
I mean everything.
She's dropping her family, friends, and school for you and your job.
You travel a lot.
Then her father.
Owner of a soccer team...
-...partner in a TV network. -What's wrong with that?
-It's funny she hadn't mentioned it. -Mentioned what?
A steady job, with your in-laws around. It's obvious.
No, it's not obvious. She's not like that.
You don't know her.
Neither do you. How long have you been dating?
At first it's all love, but you'll see that over time...
...she'll start suggesting it.
-Okay. I get your point. -Yes, I know. Whatever.
All's fair in love.
She'd never do something like that.
-Look. Can we change the subject? -Okay.
-What? -You want tacos?
Mine are better off without hot sauce.
It's delicious!
Manu loves his job.
-Really? -Really.
Boring soccer games, ghastly cities?
Crappy hotels, terrible food?
Hopefully, one in four of his articles is published.
I'm sure he loves his job.
-Can I see those earrings? -Sure.
-The leaf-shaped earrings? -Of course.
Tell me something.
What would he change his job for?
For a solid company with a future.
-Obviously, it has to do with sports. -Yes, of course.
I don't know, it could be your dad's company.
That's exactly what I told my mom!
See?
-You like them? -You think Manu hates his job?
-They are too sparkly. -Okay. Wait.
You think he'd like to work with my dad?
Manu?
He'd be an idiot if he said no.
It would be the best thing that could ever happen to him.
-After marrying you, obviously. -You're so nice.
We have a little problem, though.
What's that?
He'll never admit...
...that his mediocre job won't allow him to support a family.
-You mean it has...? -You got it!
-That's right. -What's right?
-What you were going to say. -What was I going to say?
That it has....
Right!
-Hey! -Hi!
-How are you? -You look amazing!
-Thanks. Hi! -Do you have a date?
Your bride and I have a bridesmaids party.
But that's all you need to know.
-What are you guys up to? -Who?
What are you guys up to?
What's with the mystery? What are we doing here?
Well, actually, it's....
-It's Dad who needs help. -Is he okay?
Yeah. He's making some changes at the office.
He's having problems in the Public Relations department.
It would be three, four months, six at most.
Did you know?
I mean, why don't you listen to her?
It's her life too, isn't it?
What are you gonna tell me?
Your dad came up with it overnight, out of the blue?
Tell me the truth, Pam. Be honest with me.
No, I'm being quite honest with you.
Now it turns out I have to quit school, my friends...
-...my family, all the plans I had.... -Wait!
I'm sorry I've ruined all your plans. It's good this is happening now.
-What do you mean? -What am I supposed to do with my life?
And my job?
What am I gonna do with my shitty job that everybody hates?
-I'm so sorry. I love that job. -Manu, why don't you relax...
...and think it over? It's a very attractive proposal, really.
Well, you take it.
Why don't you go sit behind a desk in an office? Why not, Julia?
Because you are not like that.
-I'm sorry, Pam, I'm not like that either. -If that's how you feel, it's okay.
That's how I feel!
I'm sorry for not being Mr. Right, and missing the mark.
What?
-I never said that, I promise. -You were very clear.
-I'm glad this happened. -No, no. Wait.
Listen. I screwed up, okay?
I made a mistake. We had an understanding.
I screwed up, I'm sorry. Please, forgive me.
-I love you. -Me too.
-I'm sorry. -No, I'm sorry.
I love you.
We should talk to your dad, if that's what you want.
-No, it's okay. -I'm so sorry.
-It was unintentional. -Are you sure?
-You mentioned it. -Yeah, like he never hurt a fly.
-I'm leaving, that's it. -He's going away on my birthday.
No!
Disgusting!
She betrayed me, the bitch backed out.
I'm sorry.
We deserve to be together!
I'm against the fucking clock and I ran out of schemes.
I'm screwed.
You better come up with something!
I hate talking to your answering machine!
-Brandy, anyone? -Please.
Double.
-I love you. -Me too.
-Ready? -A business call.
-Is everything all right? -Peachy!
Okay.
Come here.
A wild night awaits us!
-Do you really have to go? -No, I'll stay with you.
Come on, Manu, let her go! You're unbelievable.
The bridesmaids party is a tradition.
Those two are super-horny.
I love to watch people touching, but....
-What if we don't go? -What?
I mean, who are we to end a family tradition?
It's just a moment.
-I miss you already. -Me too.
-And I haven't gone yet. -I'll watch her for you.
-Let's go, we're late. -Wait.
-I love you! -Me too.
Hey, Tami. Tami.
Cover up.
Hey! I love you.
-Enough! -Very much!
-You're with us. Stop that! -Okay, okay.
Learn this song. It goes:
Great-great-grandmother Rosa and great-great-grandfather Daniel met here.
Great-great-grandmother Rosa...
...used to drink sherry.
A toast to her!
To Rosa!
Seriously, is this the bridesmaids' party?
-Want some? -No, no.
Why not? To aunt Rosa, right?
To the whole family!
Grandma Jacinta and Grandpa Victoriano had their first date in this pub.
Grandma Jacinta was a lady...
...but she loved drinking beer.
-Your grandpa? -No, grandma.
-Cheers. -Cheers! To Jacinta.
Cheers.
Besides drinking beer....
Honey, rumor has it that she had sex with Grandpa where Jules is sitting.
Honey, like you're enjoying your beer.
-I am. -Try this.
-I have mine. -Great.
-Cheers. -One, two, three.
-Waiter! -I'm your fan.
Can we have two more, please?
I'm ready to party!
Before this place was a table dance...
...it was a very nice and exclusive dance hall.
Pepe Nacho met Tiffany here.
An exuberant lady with lax morals.
Jalisco, don't back out
It comes from deep inside
Shot, shot, shot!
Next one.
Go!
Pam, Pam, Pam!
What's this fucking blondie made of?
Pam the Genie?
She pops out when a bottle is opened.
She's nothing.
Hey, your tequila!
-But what are you doing here? -Relax.
We don't want the mask to ruin your skin. Come here.
-Easy, I have a terrible hangover. -I'll help you.
She's so fucking perfect! She's so...
...sweet, and nice...
-...that hurts! -So you like her.
If I didn't have to hate her, I'd love her.
And I swear I wouldn't be doing any of this...
...if Manu wasn't the only man who could make me really happy.
And yes, the girl's heart will break, but she'll thank me eventually.
Manu is a very complicated guy.
I confess that at first...
...it was a whim.
But when I saw him...
...I felt...
...something amazing in here.
Love.
I can't believe I didn't feel that...
...when we were together.
It's amazing how lethal jealousy can be.
I'd give anything for him to feel what I'm feeling right now.
Tell him you're in love with him.
Tell him you've been crazy about him for 12 years.
But you were afraid of love.
No, you were afraid of needing.
Needing what?
Needing...
...to belong to someone.
Tell him the whole truth?
No, not the whole truth.
An elevator pitch.
You fool!
The most important facts.
Otherwise the guy's gonna run.
Trust me, honey. You look gorgeous.
He'll love your hat.
Boys love when you girls....
Good Lord!
It's an amazing house!
They're billionaires indeed.
Mind my words, honey.
-Shall I go with you? -No, it's okay.
-Your good vibes are enough for me. -Are you sure?
Let me look at you.
You look gorgeous. Take your glasses off, honey.
He needs to look at your hazel eyes.
Good luck, honey.
Mamma mia!
Manu, we need to talk.
You didn't have a good time at your party?
It's my suit. My tie?
I really don't like it, but it's not what I want to talk about.
Hey, you know what? Before I forget.
Give me your hand. Here.
What is this?
Why are you giving this to me?
My mother's ring.
I can't give it to my brother.
You know him, he's gonna lose it right away.
Yeah, it's too big a responsibility for me, I'd rather not....
Julia, you're like the best man.
Thanks.
Okay?
-Do you like it? -Very much.
-Do you think she'll like it? -She'll love it.
Okay, now tell me what you wanted to talk about.
-You're going to tell me something. -Yes.
I....
Well, I think that...
...you and I have a very....
Please, would you excuse us? Sorry.
-I'm sorry. -No problem. Excuse me.
Let me take this off. It's too tight.
May I help you?
Go run with your friends, or find yourself a boyfriend, honey.
One can be very clear...
...about how you feel about someone else.
No. I'm sorry. Wait. Sorry.
And suddenly....
I don't know....
I do have a point, but I just can't articulate it.
Just talk.
I'm listening. Tell me all about it.
Come here, you bull.
Julia, who is that guy?
He owns the website I post on.
It's George. I had told you about him.
Don't tell me you're working the weekend?
No, not at all. He just came to join me.
You are the cutest thing.
Did he?
Why?
Why? He's my friend.
A close friend.
-And lately he's been my best friend. -Your best friend?
-Yeah, you've been very busy. -Yes, I know.
Right!
He is Jorge. George.
It's about him you wanted to tell me.
I see! Why hadn't you told me?
Who would've thought?
How many boyfriends do you have here?
-Hi! -Manolo! Hello.
-I don't know what to say. -Nothing, you know Julia.
She leaves you speechless.
-Congrats! -Congrats!
I mean, we're super engaged.
We shouldn't hide it. He's paying a flying visit.
Just to fuck me.
Yes. Only a couple of hours, at least.
Sure.
I'll finish getting dressed, see you in a minute.
Nice to meet you, Manolo.
See you later.
-Give me your ring. -Not my ring!
I'm supposed to have an engagement ring.
Please don't lose my grandmother's ring.
For a couple of hours, pretend you're very much in love with me.
-Okay. -Behave like a nice straight man.
-Just pretend, please. -No problem.
Honey?
You're beautiful today.
Honey.
I'm sorry, honey, you are....
-Don't be a smartass! -You're hot, honey!
Hey, you, everything okay?
Yes.
It's just...
After all I've heard about Jorge, I thought he was...
...you know. Hi there!
What is it?
I was telling Julia that I figured you.... Different.
You know? Kind of....
More like....
Gay?
Right.
-Everyone tells me the same thing. -So true.
He's right.
He likes to act gay.
-And he's good at it. -Come on, baby, do your thing.
Like maybe.
Why so?
It's really attractive to girls, Manuel.
You couldn't imagine.
-If you only knew.... -I melt for him.
You're so naive, Manuel.
You're a good boy. It's obvious that you're a good boy.
A very good boy.
Manuel! It's okay. I'll take care of her.
-See you inside. -Come on, Manolo.
Well, well, well, your Manuel is so handsome.
-George! -He's muscular.
And with his nose, can you imagine?
You know what they say, big nose, down there....
-My God! -Come here!
Please, be super subtle.
Honey, I'll have two tequilas and I'll go.
-Come on. -Relax!
Sorry, sorry.
-Jorge? -Pamela?
-Jorge, Jorge? -Pam, Pam?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
-It's a pleasure to meet you. -I don't know why I'm so excited.
This is, like, so....
-Amazing! -Amazing! Mom?
Come here. Let me introduce Jorge.
-Jorge? -Right.
Jorge, I'm Isabel Retana.
-You're Pam's sister. -How kind of you.
He's Julia's fiancé, they're getting married.
-Really? -Yes.
You kept the secret very well.
My girl can be very discreet. She won't tell anyone.
We can't stay long. He's got lots of work.
Join us for lunch.
No, his flight's about to depart. In half an hour.
Please.
I'd be delighted.
Love, your meeting is really important. You can't miss it.
It's canceled. This is more important.
I was looking at your dress, it's beautiful.
I love the dress, the shoes, the purse. I love it all.
-Where do you get your outfits? -I've a designer....
I'm still drunk.
I'll confess something.
I was really worried about you.
Why?
Manuel told me about things not working out with your boyfriends.
It's harder at your age, but you were coming from a dysfunctional situation.
Right? It's not nice to go from one boyfriend to another without finding...
...the one.
But it's just fine, Pam. You just play the field.
One girl now, another girl tomorrow.
And in the end you realize where the one is, Manuel.
-Right here. -That's funny.
The love of your life has always been in front of you.
Honey....
Honey?
She's talking about me.
Hey, we're also shocked that Jules has a lover.
I mean....
We like you very much, you're a sweetheart...
...but we swore Jules was, like, a huge lesbian.
But that's good taste. Don't you have a brother for us?
-One for the both of us. -I don't, honey.
Jorge? How did you two meet?
She and I met....
No! George owns the website I post on.
But, honey, you and I met long before that.
We did. It's a very romantic story.
Will you tell them, my darling, or shall I?
-It's a secret. -No, not anymore.
Not anymore.
Julia and I met in a mental hospital.
She was visiting a chef who wanted to set fire to himself in his restaurant.
Because she wrote something about his mole that was a little....
Rough?
-Elaborated? -Tricky.
And I was there visiting Miguel Bosé.
Miguel Bosé?
He thought he was Miguel Bosé, but his name was Eugenio López.
The thing is that Miguel and I were there...
...when suddenly the doors of the electroshock room opened...
...and there was Jules.
She looked so pretty, Manuel.
She was beautiful.
I saw her coming slowly, like in slow motion.
-Right. -You know, with her unique gait.
With her small steps. So cute.
I told Miguel:
"Miguel, please, who is that beauty?"
Italian!
Have you checked her skin?
Honey, please.
Oh, and her freckle!
Honey, show them your freckle.
Honey, show them your freckle, please.
Who put that freckle there, Manuel?
It was God.
Just listen.
Sometimes, when she comes out of the shower...
-...her hair gets really curly.... -George, that's enough.
-No, please. -Come on!
-Yeah, let him tell us more. -Please, go on.
-I think I'm talking too much. -No! Go on, please.
I don't want to overwhelm you, I'd better shut up.
Go on.
Really, Jorge, tell us. It's a pretty nice story.
-It is. -See?
Honey, Manuel likes our love story.
So I turn to Miguel and say:
"How can I win that lady's heart, because I'm already crazy about her?"
-Madly in love. -Madly in love.
Miguel looked me in the eyes, very serious...
...and said....
What did he say?
I
Will be
A man for you
I will stop
Being
Who I was
Me
And you
You
And me
Without secrets
I'll be your rogue lover
Heartbroken
I'll be your captive lover
I'll be
Silent passion, beloved enemy
Destroyed hurricane
I'll get lost in the moment with you
Forever
I'll be your love hero
Keep on singing!
I'll be your rogue lover
Heartbroken
I'll be your captive lover
I'll be
Silent passion, beloved enemy
Destroyed hurricane
I'll get lost in the moment with you
Forever
I
Will be
Agony and love
You
The tide dragging the two of us
Me and you
You and me
You won't say no
I'll be your rogue lover
Heartbroken
I'll be your captive lover
I'll be
Silent passion, beloved enemy
Destroyed hurricane
I'll get lost in the moment with you
Forever
I'll be your love hero
Cheers!
-Cheers. -Manuel.
I'll sail
Through your darkness
You and me
Me and you
Without secrets
Come on, honey. Don't get mad.
-You got away with it. -Don't get upset, honey.
No, but it's very simple.
You take your plane...
...and I'll call you when I've forgiven you, in two or three years.
-Here. -It wouldn't have worked, you know it.
I know, I wasn't honest.
I should've told him, right?
Why don't you tell him now?
You take courage...
...and tell him you're in love with him. Clear up any doubts.
Good luck, honey.
-Hey! -Gentleman.
-I'm missing my plane! -What is he going to tell me?
He's going to say no.
He'll say he's in love with Pamela and...
...that'll break your heart.
But no one will be able to say you didn't try.
And don't worry about your heart, Jules. I'll soothe your lovesickness.
Two weeks at home and I'll fix your shattered heart.
I love you, George.
From now on, you'll call me Jiminy Cricket.
-Hey, you. -Hello.
Everything okay?
Can we talk?
Manu, I lied.
Jorge and I aren't together.
What?
The thing is....
We broke up a few months ago.
He didn't take it very well, he isn't dealing with it...
...and I didn't think it was right to expose him in front of everyone.
Why did you two break up?
The usual.
I end up comparing them to you.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about us lately.
Really?
There's a lot of nice memories.
Well....
It's more than memories.
Basically you've been the woman of my life all this time.
And you the man of mine.
But things have changed.
Things are different, we can't be together.
When we were together, we hardly said "I love you."
Pam says when you love someone, you have to tell them.
Shout it, express it, otherwise it fades.
Right, the moment fades.
The moment.
A song.
We don't have a song.
Pam and I don't have a wedding song, that's bad luck.
Heaven for your light
Remember?
For your touch
I would be capable Of surrendering my soul
There's no use
Looking another way
Everything I hope is in you
-Would you like to dance? -At your own risk.
-I'm still a terrible dancer. -Really?
-Yes. -It's okay, come here.
Heaven in your eyes
Every morning
Is where my turmoil disappears
And when you're away
I hold you to my mind
Heaven
To be able to live
Look.
I won't lose you, will I?
That's not gonna happen.
I'm seeing her. Thank you.
-Hello! -Hi!
-I'm glad to see you. -Yes.
I thought Manuel would pick me up.
I know. But he's too busy.
And I'm his best man, so I'm helping him.
We'll sign some contracts, it'll take us about 15 minutes.
Sure. Can I ask you a favor?
Can I borrow your computer to print some documents? It's quick.
Of course. My office is next door.
-Thanks. -See you.
Álvaro....
I need a favor.
My daughter's happiness is in your hands.
I dare ask you this....
Manuel won't take our offer as long as he's working for you.
My daughter and I need your help.
Regards.
No....
Delete - Save as a Draft
We can save it as a draft.
Just a few hours.
-Thanks. -It's nice doing business with you.
-Lupita, scan all those documents. -Yes, sir.
Send them to José Luis for his approval.
Try to reach Fernando Hoyos, or you leave him a message.
Please, send all the e-mails that are on my computer.
Fine, sir.
I'm ready.
Shall we?
This isn't....
Come on!
No, Julia. Sorry, it won't open.
Have you tried all the keys?
-I have. -It's impossible!
-Julia, maybe it's the wrong keys. -And the janitor?
A doorman? Someone?
-I'll get a rock. -No, wait!
Come here! Do you need a computer or what?
I left important documents and an e-mail...
...in Enrique's computer. I'm running out of time.
No, I'm running out of time. My wedding is tomorrow.
Exactly!
Tomorrow is a very busy day and...
...they'll be lost.
No, they won't.
Come here. Look.
That's life. You can't always win.
You look pretty when you're upset.
Please, Julia. Everything will be fine.
Is that really important to you?
Indeed.
Well, then let's fix it.
Let me charge my mobile.
-There. -Maybe I can reach Enrique...
-...and he can call his assistant. -Thank you so much!
It's okay. It'll be your fault if I fall asleep in the middle of the ceremony.
What? Álvaro sent me an e-mail.
Even on my wedding day, I have to work. It's crazy.
"Manuel, I'm sorry to send you this the day before your wedding.
But you deserve to know who you're to become family with."
"This e-mail was sent to me today: Dear Álvaro...
...I need a favor. My daughter's happiness is in your hands."
-Hand me that. -Let's relax.
I'm sure this is a big misunderstanding. I think....
-Manu.... -Hello, Isabel.
-Is everything okay? -Yeah, everything's fine.
-Can I talk to Pamela, please? -Sure.
-Manu... -Thanks.
...don't make this worse.
Give me a moment, Julia.
May I help you?
-Did you forget your key inside? -No. Thanks.
I went out for a smoke. It's a non-smoking room.
In fact...
...it's a non-smoking hotel.
-You can smoke out in the street. -No kidding.
Arrest me.
Send me to jail. I'm a dangerous woman.
I'm a bad person, a shitty human being.
I break up couples, I ruin lives....
May I help you?
Nelson....
Do you smoke?
-I do, but.... -It's a non-smoking hotel.
So, what?
My grandmother used to say....
This too...
...shall pass.
A hug?
Thank you, Nelson.
Julia, how many times have I told you this is gonna kill you?
What did she say?
She denied everything.
I'm crazy, paranoid.
-Wrong combo. -I know.
There's a brunch for all the guests tomorrow.
Oh, Manu.
Do you still have the ring?
The ring?
I put it on, and it got stuck.
Let's see.
Manu?
Pam didn't agree to cancel the brunch. See you there.
No!
WELCOME
-I'll be right back. -Okay, son.
Cheers.
Our baby is getting married.
Cheers.
I don't understand. Can you explain?
Is this the wedding cancellation party?
Pam hasn't said a word to anyone. What am I supposed to do?
I don't know. But in a few hours there's a wedding...
...and I notice that you're having second thoughts.
Do you want to get married or not?
I don't.
I made my decision. This is over.
I'll talk to her.
Do you think...?
Well, what do you think?
Is she okay?
Maybe you can go...
...and check?
Check on her?
These are the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen.
Hi.
What happened? Tell me, what did he say?
Come here.
Well....
Honestly?
He's wondering why you didn't tell your parents the wedding's off.
I'm terrified, I'm in shock.
I'm hoping for a miracle, you know?
How can Manuel think I did something like this?
I don't know. I can't....
I'm not a therapist, but I guess...
...he suddenly became afraid of commitment...
-...of marriage. -What do you mean?
For example, let's say Manu goes to the best French restaurant...
...and orders a dessert.
Crème brûlée.
It's a nice, sweet dessert.
Disgustingly perfect.
But at that very moment Manu decides he doesn't want crème brûlée.
He wants something else.
What did he choose?
Well...
...a fucking jello.
-Why would he want jello? -Because....
Jello makes him feel good.
-I can be jello. -No, no.
Jello can't be a crème brûlée, or the other way around.
-I need to be jello! -You'll never be jello!
Pam....
Pam, I'm sorry. You need to be honest with your parents and guests.
You can't wait until the priest gets here, it's not right.
If I forced him into this and he feels bad, I didn't mean to.
But I love him.
I love him here, and here.
Please, tell him.
Please, please. Tell him I love him.
You're the only person I can trust, please.
-I'll be right back. -Thank you. Thank you.
Only once
Did I love in my life
Only once
And that's it
Only once my life was full of hope
Hope that lights
So?
Well....
Guys?
-Give us a second, please. -Just a moment.
Yes, sir!
-What did she say? -Nothing....
She admits her fault and takes responsibility.
Do you think she's still in love with me?
I'm not the right person to answer that.
Julia....
She's madly in love with you.
Can you ask her if she still wants to get married?
Please?
-I'll be right back. -Okay. Thanks.
What did he say?
Well....
He wants you to marry him.
Hey, watch it!
I'm getting married!
Another!
Thanks.
I'm glad you're here.
Look, Manu.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yes. Sure.
I....
I'm gonna try to say this...
...as quickly as possible, otherwise I'll suffer a heart attack...
...and you won't hear it, and it's crucial that you know.
This is probably...
...the craziest thing I'll ever do in my life.
Julia, what is it?
I love you.
I've been in love with you for 12 years, but fear wouldn't let me see it.
I'm terrified right now.
And I know this is the wrong time, but I need to ask you one thing.
Choose me.
Marry me.
Let me make you happy.
It was three things.
No.... Pam!
Manu!
Pam!
Manu!
Pam!
That's how I hooked my husband.
Me too.
Didn't I?
Pam!
Manu!
And we feel our chakras opening little by little.
-I can't talk. -This is really fucked up!
What?
And it's all your fault, George.
For telling the truth, and I only said a quarter of it.
-Where are you? -Chasing Manu.
I said I loved him and I kissed him.
-And what did he do? -We were interrupted.
-By whom? -Pamela!
Jesus!
And he ran after her before answering me.
-Is Manuel after Pamela? -Yes.
-And you are after him? -I am.
And who's after you, Jules?
Open your eyes, honey.
That's your answer.
It's Pamela.
-No.... -Yes, honey.
The wedding's this afternoon, you can still make it right...
...and stop fucking it up.
So go save that wedding.
It's just....
I'm sorry!
Why are you here?
I have...
...something to confess.
It's something else.
Worse.
That e-mail...
...Enrique sent to your boss...
...was written by me.
Are you out of your mind?
What's wrong with you, Julia?
What were you thinking?
Manu, I swear I didn't mean to send it. I....
What are you doing here?
Pam always told me about this place.
It's her favorite spot. Her grandparents fell in love here.
Pam and I were sitting on this bench...
...and I don't know what got into me.
I looked her in the eye and asked her to marry me.
She said yes.
And she kissed me.
It would've been a nice wedding.
Hey!
I think you can get her back.
You will! I mean....
Sooner or later you'll look at each other, and feel that amazing love.
And I hope it's sooner than later. I would hate to be in your shoes now.
Listen, Manu.
Go look for her wherever you have an amazing story with her.
And I swear I'll come up with a brilliant plan.
Please, Manu, let me fix this.
We'll find her.
Hi. Listen, is Pamela there? Have you called her?
Not at all. I think she's freaked out with the wedding night.
I'm not sure...
...but she doesn't seem as experienced as my sister and I regarding sex.
-And she used the disaster to run away. -What happened?
My sister licked the ice sculpture and her tongue got stuck.
-Really? -It's Michelangelo's David.
Okay, okay. And Pamela?
I suggested that she watch some porn videos...
...so she wouldn't make a fool of herself tonight.
But she preferred to hide in the stadium.
Excellent! Can I ask you a favor?
Would you take my dress to church?
I need to run an errand before the ceremony.
-Okay, sure. -Taxi!
Please....
To the soccer stadium, please.
Tami, Tami, turn your eyes.
Just turn your eyes.
I'm sorry, madam.
Pamela?
Pamela, I know you are here! Security told me.
Leave me alone, bitch!
Who the fuck do you think you are?
-Catfight! -You pretended to be my friend.
And I chose you as my maid of honor.
Nobody asked you to. You'd just met me eight minutes earlier.
Manu trusts you, therefore I trusted you.
Nonsense! You just wanted me around.
I was absolutely right.
-I didn't do anything! -You kissed!
At my parents' house...
...on my wedding day!
Bitch!
Don't you dare say anything!
I love that man.
And I won't let him stay with...
...a stupid, bitter, and lousy blogger.
We didn't kiss.
I kissed him.
Indeed...
...I tried to steal him from you.
But I couldn't.
And you know why?
Because he cares for me, as his best friend.
But he loves you.
Look, Pamela.
I've done terrible things lately, let me fix it. Please?
Let me get you to that church.
Please, I want to see you there...
...marrying the man of our lives.
Because he's dying to marry you.
Please, forgive me.
So let's toast to Manu and Pamela's marriage...
...may they be very happy.
And I hope they will be...
-...very happy. -Cheers.
Thanks.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Cheers.
-Cheers! -Well....
Now it's the turn of the most beautiful maid of honor...
...Julia.
-Hurrah! -Thank you.
Hello.
Well....
I had a bad dream last night.
I dreamt that a psycho was trying to drive you apart.
Crazy, right?
Luckily, I woke up and realized that....
That everything is as it should be.
And that my best friend...
...is marrying the best woman.
I couldn't buy you a present, but I'll borrow you something.
While you find your own song.
Heaven for your light
For your touch
I would be capable
Of surrendering my soul
There's no use
Looking another way
Everything I hope is in you
Feel safe
Have no doubt about it
You have my life
And my devotion
I live to love you
For me, walking away
Is like being short of breath
Heaven in your eyes
Every morning
Is where my turmoil disappears
And when you're away
I hold you to my mind
Heaven, to be able to survive
Heaven, to be able to live
To live
Hurrah!
Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!
Come here.
I love you.
See you later?
George?
Jules.
How are you?
I did what I had to do.
Did you split them up?
I let him go.
Well done, honey. I'm so proud of you.
I'd be prouder if you were dancing.
I can picture you perfectly...
...sitting at your table, alone...
...in a green dress.
Your hair in a bow.
George....
I never said I'd wear a green dress.
A well-known song playing.
You get up slowly, gracefully, like nobody else does.
Seems like you're looking for the man of your dreams.
And you think, "Has Miguel Bosé heard my prayers?"
Suddenly, the crowd parts...
...and there he is.
Stylish, radiating charisma...
...a perfect gentleman.
Funny, he's on the phone.
And so are you.
He comes close to you.
Slowly.
He's dangerous.
And when you find out he's gay, like all handsome, single men his age...
...you think, "What the hell.
Life goes on.
There won't be a wedding...
...maybe no sex either.
But by God...
...there will be dancing."
Miss?
You won't say no
I'll be your rogue lover
Heartbroken
I'll be your captive lover
I'll be
Silent passion, beloved enemy
Forever
I'll be your rogue lover
Heartbroken
I'll be your captive lover
I'll be
Silent passion, beloved enemy
Destroyed hurricane
I'll get lost in the moment with you
Forever
I'll be your love hero
TO MARC, PAUL, LARA AND RICKY.
We did a great job.
Cut!
