04x01 - Romance Wasn't Built in a Day

[bunniefuu]

-[bells chiming]

-[birds chirping]

This rules!

What an awesome way to end the summer.

All

-expense paid trip to Rancho Bonita!

Thanks to my Enid!

Oh, it was nothing!

It only took me calls to K

-FAZ.

It's like you always say,

if at first you don't get through...

[Both] Dial, dial again!



-[Enid laughs]

-Congratulations, Enid!

Being annoying finally paid off.

I've never heard of anyone

winning a trip for eight people.

Well, it was supposed to be for two,

but they told me I could bring all my friends

if I promised to stop calling.

Last one to the lobby's a rotten huevo!

[all cheering]

Let's not woo

-hoo at a five

-star resort.

I am so sorry.

Yee

-haw!

[all cheering]

Come on, let's go, all right!

Oh, my.

Wake up, Cheryl. I hope we get a balcony.

Just think about it,

three days with no one telling us what to do.

[Manny] Doesn't make you too tired,

doesn't make you sleepy?

[whistle blows]

No PDA!

[girl] Who's that?

Attention!

I am Miss Kravitz, your chaperone.

I will be watching your every move.

There will be no stepping out of line,

no childish behavior, and no hanky

-panky.

Especially you!

Hi there.

Enough with the pleasantries.

The station wants a photo!

Chop chop!

[Jessica] Excuse me.

[Miss Kravitz] Now, everybody look happy.

That's an order!

[receptionist] Just follow the path around to your right.

[guest] Thank you.

[guests chattering]

Wow, looks at this place.

It's incredible!

Yeah, and there's tons of stuff to do.

There's a health club and tennis and hiking.

And tanning!

And room service!

Hey, you wanna play golf later?

Oh, please, golf is such a snooze.

I'm doing something really exciting.

I'm going to play shuffleboard.

Huh?

So, Cheryl, what do you want to do first?

Sleep. I'm still jet lagged from my flight back from London.

I understand, sleep all you want.

I'll be back in minutes to pick you up

for cardio funk aerobics.

[Lila] This is my kind of place.

[Jessica] I know, I could stay here forever.

Where's our room?

We're not getting just a room.

Daddy got us the Presidential Suite.

How did he do that?

I don't know, but I heard the President

was not very happy.

Wow, I really know how to travel in style.

We have arrived!

[Brazilian accent] It is about time!

Now, my luggage waits for its unpacking,

I need more ice,

and my little pillow mint was stale.

Excuse me? We were assigned to this room.

Yes, and so far your service

has been completely unacceptable.

Now get to work!

[Manny] So, Todd, how was basketball camp?

It was intense.

It gave me a whole new outlook on stuff.

Hanging with college guys can really make you think.

Did it make you think you have hair on your face?



-[electric shaver buzzing]

-[Winston laughs]

Laugh all you want, I'm making the most of this trip.

Me, too. Let's go short

-sheet the girls' beds.

Cool. I'm in. Todd?

You guys have a lot to learn about what women want.

Like a man who uses mouthwash for aftershave?

[Winston] So that's what I've been doing wrong



-all these years.

-[Manny laughs]

You kids run along and play.

I'm thinking big.

You know, Todd is right.

We gotta thing big.

[both] Super soakers!

No super soakers!

So, Liz, have you noticed anything different about me?

No.

Don't I look a little older?

No, but you do smell minty fresh.

Thanks.

You know, there's gonna be a full moon tonight.

Really?

Pretty romantic, huh?

And you didn't bring your basketball.

That's a first.

You know, there could be a lot of firsts for us on this trip.

Well, let's start with our first drink.

Good idea! Couple of brewskies, my good man!



-Are you crazy?

-Liz, come on,

we're practically adults now.

[comical music]

Here you go, kids.

Merci. I'll see you in minutes.

The people here are so accommodating!

Where else can you get a poolside pedicure?

Where else can you get this kind of view?

Check out that lifeguard?

[Enid] Cheryl!

Cheryl?

How about a game of badminton?

Enid, I really need to sleep.

Can't you play with Manny?

He's playing shuffleboard with Winston.



-What about Liz?

-She's with Todd.

[sighs] That's okay.

I mean, just because I brought all my friends

on this vacation, doesn't mean I should

expect them to hang out with me or anything.

Mm, I guess I'll just play badminton alone.

All right, I'll go.

But only for one quick game.

That's all we'll have time for anyway!

Because after that, we've got a tour of the Mission,

then a pottery

-making class, and then a nature hike.

Enid, I told you I was really tired.

I know!

That's why I only signed us up for an eight

-mile hike.

[soft classical guitar playing]

[Enid] What are you guys gonna have?

[Liz] I don't know, everything looks good.

Want to share something?



-Okay.

-I missed you today.

Oh, I missed you, too, Cheryl and I were so busy.

Weren't we, Cheryl?

Hey!

I really missed our three o'clock kiss.

[Enid] Well, I really missed our four o'clock kiss.

I really miss the days when you guys were normal.

Winston totally ruled on the shuffleboard court today.

Women were practically throwing themselves at him.

Well, you know, there's something about a rugged,

windswept, shuffleboard kinda guy

that women just can't resist.

Yeah, women in their s.

[all chuckling]

Hey, Felicia was only .

[all laughing]

No, no, no, we're not sitting with them.

There's a special place for people like us.

Look, the VIP section.

[Jessica] Cool!

[both laughing]

Excuse me. Contest winners sit over there.

Do you know who I am?

Hmm, a pathetic person who relies on radio shows

to finance trips you cannot otherwise afford?

Come on, who cares about a bunch of snooty

-

-

Who is that?

Renata!

[Renata clears throat]

How lovely to see you!



-Ricardo!

-Renata!

Don't you look handsome.



-Ricardo?

-[Lila] Come on!

You know my friends?



-Hi.

-Pleased to meet you.

Did you guys see Ricardo Vargas over there?

You know him?

Know him? He's only my favorite Latin singer.

I've been following his career ever since he was in Menudo.

Or was it New Kids on the Block?

Anyway, he is totally Rico Suave.

Cheryl and I are gonna go see his show tomorrow night.

Oh, joy!

I could've been in Menudo.

If it wasn't for that height requirement.

So, Liz,

do you wanna go dancing after dinner tonight?

Mm, that sounds wonderful.

And then maybe a moonlit stroll?

Todd, this place has really brought out

the romantic in you.

It's not just the hotel, it's everything.

I feel like our relationship has reached a new level.

Uh

-huh.

And I was thinking tonight...

Yeah?

We could...

spend the night together.

[Liz chuckles]

You're kidding, right?

I've never been more serious in my life.

[soft music]

[tense music]

I had a great time tonight.

It doesn't have to be over.

Todd.

What's wrong?

It's just that it's all so sudden.

Liz, don't tell me you haven't thought about this, too.

Of course, I have.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

No men!

Back to your room.

[on bullhorn] Rise and shine, everybody!

We've got a big Rancho Bonita day ahead of us!

We're in. Daddy's taking care of everything.

We're sitting in the VIP section tonight.

What good is the VIP section when Renata

will be throwing herself all over Ricardo?

Don't tell me Jessica Wakefield's giving up



-without a fight.

-Shh!

I can almost make out what they're saying.

[Renata] I will be gone for quite a while.

Certainly you have purchased a gift for me?

[Ricardo] Do not worry Renata.

I have thought of something special.

Just remember, it is not the thought that counts,

it is the weight of the gold.

I've got it!

It'll only be a matter of time before he is eating out of

-

-

[Lila] My tooth!

Gross!

I bit into a pearl!

Hey, I didn't get a prize in mine!

Enid, I don't know how to ask you this, but

-

-

Yes?

[sighs] Well, it's kinda personal.

Liz, of course you can borrow my toothbrush.

I mean, I used yours last night.

No, I mean, have you and Manny ever talked about... [sighs]

Well, you know, spending the night together?

Talked about it? We've done it!

You have?

Yeah, a couple of times.

It's no big deal.

Enid, how come you never told me?

I told you.

Remember when he went camping with our family,

and we had to shine the headlights in his tent

'cause we was afraid of the dark?

He's so cute.

No, Enid.

I was talking about, you know, sleeping together.

Oh. Wow, Liz.

That's a big step.

Are you sure you're ready?

Well, Todd is.

Yeah, but are you?

[pensive music]

[Todd] I'm so ready for this.

At least, I think I am.

I love her, and she loves me.

Besides, I'm a man now.

Hey, is that a zit?

Is that a zit?

Great!

All this stuff with Renata is totally stressing me out.

Scheming to get rid of her is giving me a headache.

Maybe this aspirin will help.

Hey, that's my dental pain medication.

The hotel doctor gave it to me for my tooth!

[sighs] Good, because I'm in a lot of pain.

Does this stuff work?

Yeah!

I feel fine! [giggling]

I love you, Jessica.

Whatever. Let's go!

Ricardo awaits.

I'll catch up.

"There is a surprise for you at the front desk."

Ricardo, it is about time.



-[soft Latin guitar playing]

-[patrons chattering]

I am Ricardo Vargas.

I know, you're my favorite Latin singer.

[Ricardo laughs]

Of course, not a lot of people speak Latin,

but I'm sure you'll find an audience somewhere.

[Renata] Is there something for Renata?

[phone ringing]

Front desk, may I help you?

"Your next clue is in the steam room."

Can I have your room number, please?

Ricardo, always with the games.

Okay.

I wonder where Renata is.

[woman] I hope she's okay.

Has anyone ever told you, you have a beautiful neck?

[giggles]

Uh

-oh. I shouldn't have taken Lila's medication.

Enough is too much! [sighs]

I am worried about Renata.

I hope no harm has come to her, huh?

[woman] I'm sure she's fine.

I don't.

[Jessica laughing]

Look at me, I'm filled with sweat!

I cannot believe Renata has not shown up.

This is the final night I shall spend with my sister.

Renata's your sister?

But of course.

Uh

-oh.



-Ricardo!

-[Ricardo] Renata!

All these notes and still no gift?

Why have you led me on this wild moose chase?

These are not from me.

Then who are they from?

Who?

[laughing] Me!

I have your gift right here.

Ricardo!

How did you know?

It is perfect. [laughs]

Brazil will not be the same without you.

Good luck to you in the Valley of the Sweet.

You're not talking about Sweet Valley?

Yes, I will be a student of exchange

at the high school there.

You're an exchange student?

That's the worst news I've ever heard!

[laughing]

Oh!

Americans, they are a silly people.

[housekeeper] Huh?

Okay, Wilkins.

Step up to the line, this is the moment of truth.

Be cool.

Yi.

Todd, why are you dressed like that?

I had to get past the chaperone.

Todd, wait.



-Oh, right, sorry.

-It's not that.

I've been thinking a lot about this,

and I'm just not sure.

It's a big step for us.

It could change everything.

Liz, I don't want you to do anything

you don't want to do.

It's not just me, it's us.

Do you really think we're ready for this?

Well...

I don't know.

Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have any doubts at all?

Maybe you're right.

You have got to let me crash on Enid's bed.

It's the only place she won't look for me.



-[sighs]

-[Liz] Okay.

Lila's sleeping and I can't get into my room.

[giggles] I'm gonna sleep here.

Is that a dress, Todd?

[Todd] Uh, yeah.

Hide me, I'm being chased by a bunch of old women!

Cheryl, there you are!

We gotta get in line for the midnight buffet!

I give up, I'm never gonna get any sleep.

[Winston] Anybody else wanna join us?

[whistle blows]

How many times do I have to tell you?

No men!

Oh, you people are giving me a migraine.

These will take away all the pain.

Uh, never mind.

They're a really bad idea.

Hey, wait a minute.

What happened to Manny?

So, are you disappointed about last night?

No, of course not.

I think we made the right decision.

To be honest, it could be a while until I'm ready.

That's okay.

If anyone's worth waiting for, it's you.
