Dead in Love (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[AUDIO LOGO]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

Hey there.

This is my house...

My abuela's house.

[SPANISH]

That's me, Sofia.

I'm currently getting ready

for yet another first date.

I was hoping to get f*cked

tonight, but not like this.

[PHONE RINGS]

[SPANISH]

Sofia Consuelo

Isabella Veracruz,

I know you've been

avoiding my calls.

You think your sisters don't

tell me things, but they do.

[SPANISH] Hermana sold

you out just the other day

for a Target gift card.

I just don't understand

what's wrong with you.

You're 28 years old,

and you hide away

in your abuelita's

house like a crazy lady.

Your papa, God rest his

soul, would be turning over

in his grave right now if he

knew you had shut yourself off

from the world.

We let you stay

there for pennies.

Do you know how

much I could charge

a nice little white couple?

And you can't even consider

dating a nice man or woman?

You know, I don't care which.

The new Pope says it's

OK, so I'm cool with it.

But date someone.

You know, you'll

never find someone

unless you learn how

to cook a decent meal.

You don't eat enough as it is.

So skinny.

Men must look at you and just

think that they'll break you.

And I didn't want to say it,

but your wisdom is showing.

I mean, yes, it's

[SPANISH] but would

it hurt you to wear a little

makeup once in a while?

I mean, don't go looking

like a tr*mp or anything,

but do you have to look

like a homeless person?

You went to school

to be a writer.

And what are you

doing with your life?

Not writing.

I don't care if you fail,

but you don't even try, mija.

You have to live your life

before you can write about it.

And staying home on a Friday

night isn't going to help.

That's not the story

I want to read.

I know being a copy editor

for a [SPANISH] company isn't

what you grew up dreaming of.

[SPANISH]

You can't give me a grandbaby

if you lock your [SPANISH] away.

Exist in the world, mija.

Instead of hiding behind

other people's words,

you dot their I's

and cross their T's.

An app can do that.

I don't want my youngest

remaining unmarried daughter

to be an app.

Don't be an app.

A woman's job is to create.

Your sister has little Nico.

Don't you want

that too, a family?

I won't be around

forever, you know?

[SPANISH]

[VOICE ECHOING]

[THUD]

[ANGELIC HARMONIZING]

[FRANTIC SPEECH ON TV]

Sofia?

Hello?

Hey, can you watch

little Nico this weekend?

Remember, I'm telling you,

I'm going on that retreat.

I'm going to kick Julio out

of the house for five hours.

I'm going to binge watch The

Bachelor and drink box wine

judgment free.

[GASPS] Ooh, looks

like someone's

trying to get laid tonight.

Teresa.

We...

Ugh.

Sofia!

Sof...

Hey.

Sofia.

Hey, Sofia.

[BREATHING SHAKILY] Sofia!

Come on, Sofia!

[COYOTES HOWLING]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Teresa, what are you doing?

Why do you have a box?

You know, I got this for you.

You never even used it.

I was saving that for

a special occasion.

I've been looking

all over for this.

You had it the entire time?

Abuelita gave that to me.

You can't take it.

Where did you find this?

I literally just

died, and you're just

about to take all of my stuff?

Teresa, what is wrong with you?

Are you serious?

Ugh.

Must be the wind.

Ay, I still need to call the

cousins and the florists.

Ay, what am I going to have

time to make the pozole?

Ugh, no, those are for Sofia.

They're her favorites.

That's why I got them.

I don't need one.

You remember?

They are my favorite.

Oh, but it is mostly

just symbolic.

And I wouldn't want

to be wasteful.

And I did miss breakfast.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

No, no, those are for

my baby in heaven.

What if I'm not in heaven?

Mm, my favorite.

I used to love to take you and

your sisters out for these.

Papa, I've missed you.

I've missed you, Morita.

Morita?

I'm not little anymore.

Ay, you'll always

be my little girl.

Why are you here?

What do you mean?

I've always been here.

I never left.

Everything changed

after you passed.

Mama completely shut down.

She just spent all

her time at the church

and never remarried,

focused all the time

on Teresa and her getting

married and having kids and...

I stayed for your mother and

to watch you girls grow up.

I married your mother right when

I got out of the service at 19.

Mm, she was only 16.

You just turned 28.

What were you waiting for?

Well, I... I thought

I had more time for...

Time for everything.

You know, it would

have meant the world

to know that you

were still around.

Mama and I just fought all

the time, and I needed you.

I didn't want to upset

you or your sisters

more than you already were.

I'm here for you now.

There goes your mother.

I better go.

No, so soon?

Wait, stay, please.

Your mother's love

keeps me close.

Something is keeping

you here, morita.

Figure out what that is.

Hey, if you need me, I'm

always with your mother.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

I can't believe my

mother was right.

All this afterlife stuff, ugh,

I'd never hear the end of it.

I can see it now, she'll be

including me in nightly prayers

to papa, light candles

for me next to his,

raise the rosary to her

lips, and say, oh, [SPANISH]

why would you take my baby

before she could give me

another grandbaby?

It'll never end, even in death.

Why am I here?

What could be keeping me here?

Definitely not my crappy

content writer job.

Maybe... maybe I'm

supposed to write

something that finally matters.

Or maybe I can cash in on

a sweet ghostwriting gig.

God, not that I'd be able

to spend the money from it,

but it could help my family.

No.

Maybe... maybe I'm

meant to fall in love.

Who would fall in

love with me now?

When I was little,

my mother always

said I'd meet my soulmate, and

I'd spend the rest of my life

with them, and that one special

person was out there somewhere

waiting just for me.

What a terrible thing

to tell a child.

It's like all those Disney

films with the princesses

waiting in a tower or a castle

somewhere, waiting and waiting

for their prince to come.

But what if I didn't

want a prince?

I mean, they were cute and

all, but what if I also

liked princesses?

I mean, I had a serious

crush on Jasmine

from Aladdin when I was 10.

She had everything,

a tiger, a fortune.

So why would she give it

all up for a penniless thief

and his monkey?

Was he really her soulmate?

The whole idea of a soulmate

just makes no sense to me.

It's a lot of pressure to put on

one person to be your everything

and to be tied up to somebody

for the rest of your life.

I don't want that.

I barely know how I want

to spend my forever.

I feel like figuring out

myself should come first,

rather than figuring who I

should be with for the rest of...

Huh?

You kidding me?

I don't even like

this stupid dress.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

Hello?

Sofia?

Sofia [SPANISH]

Listen, just because

you're a ghost, young lady,

doesn't mean that you

can ignore your mother.

[SPANISH]

Look, mija, we can't afford

to let this place go unrented.

The listing has generated

a lot of interest.

I thought we could

maybe look over

some prospective candidates.

Look, this one is a

very lovely couple.

They have something

called a giant Schnauzer.

Hypoallergenic.

No mess.

Ay, well, you really are

your father's daughter.

[SPANISH]

At least give her

a chance, morita.

Your mother's just

trying to help.

Just think about it.

Might be what

you're looking for.

[EXCITING MUSIC]

Here's the key.

Remember, the deposit

is nonrefundable.

Hope you like the house.

[SULTRY, SEDUCTIVE MUSIC]

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

Mm.

[CHUCKLES] Mm.

[MOANING]

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah.

[WET SQUELCH]

[MOANS LOUDLY]

Now let's move on

to something hotter.

Your lease is up, bear do.

You disgust me.

You've ruined pizza for me.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Pizza defiler.

No, no, no, not the beard.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

I'm getting to the...

I'm getting out of here.

I'm getting out

of here right now.

No, no, no, no.

[ROCK MUSIC]

Hot mess

Fire breathing hiss

That's all I want from you

Take me in your arms

Make me come with your charm

The fire burns inside

My passion desire

That's all I want from you

Red velvet here

I just want to stay

You control the fire

On the devil's pyre

That's all I want from you

Yeah

It's all I want from you

[GASPS, CHOKES]

[SOBBING]

What was wrong with her?

[SCRIBBLING ON PAPER]

Hella extra?

What does that even mean?

I can't believe I have to

rent this place out again.

This house is going to be in

our family for a long, long time

to come.

Good.

Hey, what happened, morita?

She was just too much.

Hey, no one's perfect.

Everyone has their

little quirks.

Your mother, your mother would

fart in bed and blame the dog.

Eww.

Oh, oh, what, so...

So that's love?

It's something, all right?

That dog still sleeps

on my side of the bed.

There's a big, beautiful world

out there waiting just for you.

And I'm afraid if

you stay here, you're

never going to discover it.

Well, you stayed.

For my family.

I don't know what's

keeping me here.

It's not the house.

It's your memories.

I mean, I've had some of

the best memories of my life

here in this house with you.

And I don't want to lose that.

You've got to make

room for new memories.

I want more for you than just a

few stolen moments and snacks.

Don't you?

I do.

[WHOOSHING]

Oh, come on!

Maybe the house is

keeping you here.

What?

How come you can't go past

the driveway, but I can't?

I just go where mom goes.

Oh, what, so you haven't

left mom's side in 15 years?

I never wanted to.

Bye, Sofia.

I'm leaving.

See you tomorrow.

I better go.

Hola.

Hi.

Maria Marcos de

[SPANISH] from the house.

I'm happy to let you know

that the report came back,

and your scores are

stellar, so I'll be

happy to have you as tenants.

I will leave the key

for you in the mailbox.

And just as a reminder,

the first month's deposit

is non-refundable.

Hope you enjoy the house.

Thank you.

Bye.

Two for one.

Yes.

[EXCITING MUSIC]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Wow, my god.

Yeah, look at the

size of this place.

This is our new home.

Check out the pool.

[CHUCKLES]

If it wasn't so

cold, I'd probably

pick you up and toss you in.

I would k*ll you.

No, you wouldn't.

But I have a much better idea.

What?

What you got?

Oh, OK.

Oh, OK.

Meet me inside.

Yes, ma'am.

[MOANING]

[MOANING INTENSIFIES]

Hey, babe, can you get

me some water, please?

Yeah, sure.

[WHIMSICAL WHISTLE]

Maybe I have been too picky.

[VOCALIZING]

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

[SOFT, JAZZ MUSIC]

[CHUCKLING]

Read 'em and weep, baby.

Double word.

What, what, what,

what, what, what.

Now let's see what you got.

[MOANS]

I'll tell you what, I'm

going to go top this off.

If you manage to put

something halfway

decent on that board

by the time I get back,

I'll do that dance you like.

Oh.

But if you can't find

anything, then you're

going to dance for me.

All right, I'll be back.

Uh.

I don't... [CHUCKLES]

All right, let's see what

you got, Captain Thesaurus.

That is Admiral

Thesaurus to you.

What?

Mm-hmm.

OK.

Not bad.

All right, pretty decent.

That's pretty good.

Yeah?

All right.

All right.

[EXCITING MUSIC]

Yeah.

Hands behind your

back, or else...

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

Wow.

[SINGING CONTINUES]

Ooh.

No.

No?

Uh-uh.

No?

No.

[SINGING CONTINUES]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Requesting permission

to use my hands.

Permission granted.

Mm, yes.

[CHUCKLES]

I have a dance for you.

Oh, do you?

Yeah.

OK.

Do you want to see?

Yeah.

OK.

Oh.

[CHUCKLES]

Mm, OK.

Yeah, oh, wow.

All right.

Nice undies.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

Come here, blanket boy.

[MOANING]

Oh, oh, gosh.

[MOANING CONTINUES]

Is that it?

Did you say something?

No.

Oh.

She can hear me.

[MOANING]

[JOYFUL MUSIC]

Marcos is such a hottie,

but Maria, I just

can't figure her out.

Oh, what?

What is that?

What?

Am I not pretty enough for you?

It looks so much better now.

Oh, you think it looks

so much better now?

Looks good!

Give me that.

It looks better?

You know what I

think looks better?

You are so pretty.

Oh, I'm so pretty.

I'm so pretty.

[ECHOING]

Mm.

I'm glad you like it.

Thank you so much.

I made it just for you, babe.

That's so cool.

I'm going to get some salad.

Oh, here, try this.

OK.

Mm.

Yeah?

Oh, my god.

Oh, that's so good.

He cooks too?

Salud.

Salud.

Mm.

Oh, my god, what a waste.

[MOANS]

[CHOKES]

[CHOKES]

How do you choke

when you're dead?

[CHOKING]

I'm saving you for later.

Oh, someone's an early riser.

Mm, with legs for days.

I'd love to climb that tree.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I wonder what he smells like.

Oh, he's tidy with tight abs,

picks up after himself and her.

Oh, and he has a cute but too.

[CHUCKLES]

[VOCALIZING]

[BLENDER WHIRRING]

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Damn, papi.

Ooh, [SPANISH]

[CHUCKLES]

[EXCITING MUSIC]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

He's so sleek and silky.

He's like a seal, or at least,

he has my seal of approval.

[HUMMING]

Oh, to be that rigid

toothbrush in his mouth

or that plush towel

around his waist, ooh.

Huh?

He likes to air dry?

Oh, [CHUCKLES] and manscape.

That was a not

unpleasant eyeful.

How does he fly with

that heavy cargo?

Gives a whole new

meaning to c*ck.

[CHUCKLES]

[GURGLING]

Did my thoughts just

get dirtier in death?

I don't remember

feeling this hungry.

[THUD]

Oh.

Babe.

Mm?

We need to talk.

The last thing a woman wants to

hear first thing in the morning.

Maria, it's noon.

I know what time it is.

I haven't had my coffee yet.

Look, babe, we need to

talk about this mess, OK?

I would really...

Ugh, is this decaf?

Yeah, it's better for

you and for the baby.

What baby?

Oh, come on, with the

extra appetite and the mood

swings and the extra weight.

What weight?

Whoa, whoa.

It's the extra

hormones, right, right?

Hey, I love your curves.

I am not pregnant.

I am not, OK?

Why you got to say it like that?

Would it be so bad if you were?

It's just not the right time.

Well, then what is it?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm just stressed.

I don't mean to

take it out on you.

Take this horrible

coffee with you.

Mm-hmm.

I'm going to go back to bed.

Because I love you.

I'm just going to

go back to sleep.

Good night.

[EXHALES DEEPLY] I feel so bad.

[GROANS] OK.

OK, I just need some fresh air.

OK.

How do I write this book?

All right, let's

do some exercising.

Let me get some

blood in the brain.

She's so gorgeous and

fit and mysterious.

She kind of scares me.

She reminds me of

one of those girls

that would throw me into a

trash can in high school.

True story.

Honestly, she wouldn't

need to throw me in.

I'd dive straight into her

cans, no questions asked.

Let's go.

OK, that should do it.

OK.

Oh, wine, let's do that.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

[EXHALES DEEPLY] OK.

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

Oh, my God.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Yeah?

I don't want your

[SPANISH] car warranty.

God!

Ugh!

OK.

Oh, my god, now I don't

remember what I was writing!

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

Why did I think I could

write another book?

You wrote a book?

Oh, my god.

There's that voice again.

I'm a writer too.

Come out!

Show yourself!

I'm going to kick your butt!

[MUMBLES] I'm... I'm Sofia.

Huh?

Um, I used to live here.

OK, I clearly had way

too much to drink.

That's what this is,

too much alcohol.

Yeah.

You know, there's something

different about you, something

amazing.

You can hear me.

OK, I'm going to

stop drinking now.

Today's the day.

Well, maybe tomorrow.

I'll do that tomorrow.

You're not...

OK.

You're not crazy,

and you're not drunk.

I mean, you might be

a little bit drunk,

but why don't you tell

me about your first book?

It was about Marcos and I. We

were a high school sweethearts.

We were each other's

first everything.

God, I don't even recognize

that girl anymore.

You know, it sounds

stupid, but I always

wanted to have a high

school sweetheart.

I went to prom with

my second cousin.

OK, if you're going

to keep talking to me,

I need more alcohol.

[GULPS]

Are you still there?

Oh, God.

Oh.

How come you can hear me?

Can you even drink?

Are you old enough for that?

I was.

You know, ever

since I died, I've

had this unquenchable thirst and

insatiable hunger that I get.

Like, no matter how

much I eat or drink,

nothing will satisfy me.

Whoa, that's a

hell of a drawback.

How did you die, if you

don't mind me asking?

My mom, she told my sister that

I had a brain aneurysm, I guess,

Why do you think you're

still hanging out?

I don't know.

But I saw my dead dad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up.

You saw your dead father?

Yeah.

He died when I was 15.

And now that I'm...

I can see him, and he said

that he was waiting around just

to reunite with my mom.

So you've been here

this whole time?

Uh, yes.

Oh, you're the one

who helped Marcos

last night with a wordy word.

So you've been watching

us this whole time?

I mean, he just... he looked so

pitiful trying to find a word.

[CHUCKLES]

Look, it's not like

I chose this, OK?

It's my mom's fault. She...

I was just trying to get ready

for a date and find love,

and she just calls and starts

nagging my ear off, like,

literally made my brain explode.

You know, I didn't even see a

light at the end of the tunnel

or whatever, you know?

I just... my soul or spirit

or whatever you call this

is just stuck here.

My mom thought

that she could help

me not be so lonely by renting

out the place to people

that I might get along with.

Wait, your mom did...

Why would... what?

Oh, like two for one.

Oh, so she thinks because

you're bi that you're, what?

Non-monogamous?

[WHIMSICAL TONE]

Wait, are you bi?

No.

I mean, I guess I never had that

conversation with her or anyone.

[WHIMSICAL TONE]

Like, I would bring

back boys and girls

to, like, family functions.

I thought she hoped that I

would come back with a guy

like my sister did.

But dead?

Undead.

[WHIMSICAL TONE]

I... breathing in pairs.

Oh, my god, you can't

even say the word.

I think I just have never had

to say it to anyone before.

OK, fine, I'm going

to say it right now.

I'm Sofia.

I'm bisexual, and I'm a ghost.

You know, moms always

know that kind of thing?

They're easier to

deal with than dads.

My dad only showed up

when it was about him,

you know, events

like my wedding.

When I went to visit

my mom, all the

pictures that they had

was just of me and my dad.

And when I asked her about

that, she snapped at me

and she was like oh, he was

just documenting his joy.

It was the opposite with my dad.

I loved him so much.

He was my everything.

When he died, I just lost it.

Mm.

My mom and I used to

watch telenovelas,

and she would always ask

me who I had a crush on,

who I thought was the cutest,

and I could never decide.

She used to call me

[SPANISH] I don't know.

I just saw beauty

in both of them.

That's it.

That's got to be it.

Oh, my god, I always thought

that my gaydar was off

or my binoculars didn't work.

But you, you're...

What?

I never, like, advertise.

I mean, Marcos

knows that about me.

Don't you ever feel

like you're hiding?

[SCOFFS] [SPEAKING SPANISH]

OK, you were the one

who couldn't even

say it a minute ago, OK?

[SPANISH] Oh, no.

[SPANISH]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

Shut up.

[GROANS]

I didn't mean it like that.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Hey, babe, how'd

writing go today?

Oh.

[MOANS]

So you want to talk about it?

All day, I was sitting in front

of my computer, trying to write,

and all I could

think about was you.

Oh, that's so sweet, babe.

No, it's not.

You need more than that.

You can't be all I think about.

I don't know, it just

hit me really hard today.

I really miss her.

Who?

Lucia?

Yeah.

I didn't think it would affect

me this much, but I don't know.

Being in this new house and

all alone, it's overwhelming.

Hey, hey, this is going to

be good for us, you know?

It's a fresh start.

This new promotion is a step

up in rank and pay for me.

Mm.

This will be good for us.

Mm-hmm.

You'll see.

Well, we were more

than comfortable

with the money for my first book

deal, but couldn't handle that.

Oh, I...

I just miss her, that's all, OK?

I could bounce ideas off of her.

Yeah, you did more than just

bounce ideas off of her.

You just don't get it.

I just don't get what?

We're married, remember?

Oh, my god, wow.

Why are you being so hostile?

We agreed, remember?

It was one thing

when I was deployed

and you were actually alone, OK?

I didn't mind you having

that little girl time.

Wow, I'm...

But I'm home now.

I have always been

honest with you.

Why did you say you're OK

with it when you weren't?

[GROANS]

I lied.

[SCOFFS]

But I lied because I thought

I'd lose you if I didn't.

Wow, that's messed up.

Shut up, Sofia.

What?

Who's Sofia?

Nobody.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

So you've been resenting

my relationship

with Lucia this whole time?

Look, your little girl time with

Lucia wasn't a relationship.

Well, it was something.

No.

It could have been.

Something?

Babe, I love you.

I'm with you.

What do I have to say

for you to get that?

Look, if that's the story

that you're sticking with,

then maybe go write about it.

Maybe I will.

Yeah, go, go write about it.

Look, I don't want to fight

about this anymore, OK?

I'm just saying, if you need to

satisfy that part of yourself,

is there a way where

I can be involved too?

How would that even work?

Like how?

I don't know.

Maybe we can try dating

someone that likes both of us.

You want to date other women?

Well, I mean, yeah, if you are.

Well, it's not the same

thing, and you know it.

So you don't want me to

date other women, but if I

wanted to go date a

guy, that would be OK?

He makes a good point.

Yeah, actually that's fine.

Just make sure you wrap it up

and you bring lots of lube.

Oh, water-based lubes are the

best for, like, sexual activity

and toys.

No.

Guys love...

Hey, hey, that's not

what I meant, OK?

Just think about it,

that's all I'm saying.

OK, but no more

holding things in.

No more.

No more.

[SCOFFS] Just because

I'm bi doesn't

mean I can use my queerness

to tune into your mantrums.

I knew it.

It is a superpower.

Whoa, I don't have mantrums.

Yeah, that's totally a mantrum.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, do you want some

chocolate or chamomile tea?

Oh, chamomile.

Oh you know what?

I blame the estrogen and

those shakes of yours.

I mean, you're

practically a d-cup now.

I mean, you have, like,

bigger t*ts than me.

Hey, I thought

you liked my t*ts.

I do like your t*ts.

[JOYFUL MUSIC]

What?

What?

What's the issue then, huh?

I do this all for you, and

you don't appreciate it.

He does have nice t*ts.

I mean, pecs.

Hot stuff.

[SCOFFS]

[MOANS]

You read my journal?

Oh, I was trying

to find something

to read in the middle of

the night, and I found it.

What'd you think?

Well...

Never mind.

No, no, don't tell me.

Well, you're going to have to

get used to getting feedback

from other writers.

Otherwise, who are

you writing it for?

For me.

If I didn't write everything

that I was feeling in my heart,

it would literally shatter

into a million pieces.

That's what I want

to read about.

Put that in your next draft.

What about this draft?

Oh, forget about this draft.

You need a new one.

That's not helpful at all.

Uh, I'm being very helpful.

If it's not good enough,

you need to change it.

I'm a published

writer, remember?

It needs to be better.

Yeah, but...

I'll let you read mine, OK?

Fair is fair.

Fine.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Babe.

What?

Can you come here, please?

Babe, we can't keep

going on like this.

What?

It's part of my process.

And you're drinking more?

That's also part of my process.

Look, just try and clean

up a little for me, please.

All right, I'll do it for you.

But I'm going to need

a little incentive.

An incentive?

Mm-hmm.

What kind of incentive?

I'm going to need you to be

more attentive in the bedroom.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Are you kidding me?

I'm very attentive.

Oh.

Especially in the bedroom.

OK, honey, you've been

swinging the hammer

and not hitting the nail.

[CHUCKLES] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I've been hitting that

nail, let me tell you.

All right, if I come home and

I find that there's a mess,

you have to give of me.

[WHIMSICAL WHISTLE]

[CHUCKLES] OK.

All right.

And if I come home and the

house is clean, you owe me.

Uh...

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

OK, OK, deal.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

[SOFT MUSIC]

Oh, mija, I wish I

had more life for you.

[PIERCING, ETHEREAL MUSIC]

In case you're thirsty.

Oh, yeah, I'm

getting some tonight.

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

I have a confession.

Oh.

[CHUCKLES] What's that?

I read your book.

No way.

Oh, so what did you think?

That chapter about you sleeping

with the entire cheerleading

squad, riveting.

Uh-huh.

I thought Marcos was your first.

My first guy.

[SMACKS LIPS] I was the captain

of the cheerleading team.

I mean, nobody joins

cheerleading for football.

[CHUCKLES]

And Marcos?

He was the captain

of the football team.

I bet you two ruled the school.

Feels like such a lifetime ago.

What about you?

You don't strike me as

a cheerleading type.

Not at all, no.

[CHUCKLES] I was more

of a yearbook kid.

Mm, sounds about right.

Yeah.

You wouldn't have

noticed me at all.

Even less people could

see or hear me then.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

You know, sometimes

I think Marcos still

sees me as that girl he fell in

love with back in high school.

But I changed a lot, and he

hasn't, but he doesn't see that.

Is there something wrong

with him not changing?

Well, love is a living,

breathing thing,

and it needs room to grow.

And if it doesn't, it dies.

I mean, you've grown since

you've been with us, right?

Yeah, but don't you

have to do things

to make your partner happy?

Yeah, but not at the expense

of your own happiness.

[VOCALIZING]

God, this kitchen is a mess.

Marcos is going to be home soon.

What are you doing?

I'm thinking.

About dishes?

No, about my writing.

It's part of the process.

[GASPS] You are such a prude.

You can't even say the word.

You're worse than Marcos.

I can say it.

I just... look, this

is your relationship.

I don't see what's wrong with

doing something nice if it

makes him feel seen and heard.

I mean, he's just so sweet

and kind, and he cooks.

OK, so speaking of cooking,

why are you eating us out

of house and home?

Sorry.

I don't know why.

I just have this insatiable

hunger, and it's not going away.

OK, you know, the worst

thing that could happen

is happen for Marcos to want to

try and have a baby right now.

It's definitely not the

right time for that, OK?

When is there ever a right time?

I mean, he'd have really

cute babies with you.

Wait a minute.

Oh, my god, [SCOFFS]

I can't believe

I never noticed it before.

What?

Sofia, do you have a

crush on my husband?

No, no, no, I don't

have a crush on him.

I just... I just think

that he is nice,

and it would be nice to

do something nice for him.

I mean, could you

just clean a dish?

Oh, my god, you're telling me

how cute his babies will be?

I'll tell you what, if you

admit to me that you like him,

I'll do the dishes.

All right, fine, I like him.

Now, was that so hard?

Yes.

I hate talking

about my feelings.

I'd rather write them down.

OK, that's not how

you wash a dish.

Can you use a little more soap?

Here, just...

[PIERCING GONG]

[GASPS]

What just happened?

[GASPS] I'm out of that dress.

Oh, wow, this is

definitely not mine.

[GASPS] That is

definitely not mine.

Wow, I didn't know

you were Brazilian.

Oh, [CHUCKLES] these

are definitely not mine.

These boobs are so big.

Hey, hey, hey,

hey, eyes up here.

Sorry, I just... I've

never done this before.

Wow.

Snap out of it.

OK.

Marcos is going

to come home soon.

We need to take out the garbage.

OK.

Babe.

Oh, hi, Marcos.

The house looks great.

I mean, babe.

Wow.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC]

I really appreciate this, babe.

All right.

Oh.

Fair is fair.

Oh.

And I've been doing toning

exercises all day, just in case.

OK, OK, OK.

Hey... Uh, you don't have to...

Oh, yes, I have to.

[MOANS]

You even recycled the bottles?

[MOANING] [SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MOANING CONTINUES]

And you took out the compost?

[MOANING INTENSIFIES]

OK, I'm going to go

shower, and then I'll

fix us something to eat, OK?

OK.

That was interesting.

That was something.

I never shared him with

another woman before.

I thought I'd be

jealous, but I could

feel everything you were feeling

when you were feeling it.

So you're not mad?

No.

[CHUCKLES] I told you,

writers need more orgasms.

Fair is fair.

Hey, what do you think

he's cooking us for dinner?

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Senor honey, to bed.

Oh, good boy.

Good boy.

Time for bed.

Our Father, who art in

heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on

Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread,

and forgive us our

trespasses, as we forgive

those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation.

Amen.

[VOCALIZING]

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Maria, did you forget something?

Psst.

Hello, sis?

Mom got drunk the

other night and spilled

about what's been going on.

I have something for you.

Peace offering.

[WHOOSHING]

It's just me.

It's just me.

You never know how to

light these things.

How are you doing this?

We are sharing consciousness.

[COUGHS] This is

some strong sh*t.

Hey, why did you come?

I didn't like how

things ended after the...

I wanted to talk.

You never want to talk.

Just because I'm always so busy.

You know, I work nonstop.

And then when I

come home, I still

have to work with

the kids, and...

But I should have made the time.

How are the boys?

They miss their ta.

You should bring

them by sometime.

You think the new couple

will be cool with that?

Maria might.

Oh.

So How's that going?

[CHUCKLES] It's complicated.

[CHUCKLES] oh, it's complicated?

Two women, one guy.

Hell, I could use a

sister wife to help

with the kids and the cooking.

Oh, don't get me started.

No, no, it is not

like that at all.

I mean, Marcos is... he

cooks and he cleans.

It's very nice, but

he's also very simple.

What?

Like a Latino

Forrest Gump simple?

No, not liked he's just very

traditional, and Maria isn't.

I don't even know how they got

together and stayed together.

Like, I know that he was

away for his job a lot,

so they were apart.

But you know,

distance can be good.

I complain about Julio, but,

you know, he really gets me,

and that counts for a lot.

I can't believe you two got

married right after high school

too.

Mm.

Do you ever wonder

what it would be like...

I mean, don't you feel like you

maybe missed out on something?

Well, you know, Julio

and I had to get married.

I was already two

months along with Nico.

I didn't want to

disappoint the family.

How did I not know that?

I only told Marisol.

You know, the plus side

to being a curvy girl

is that no one asks

you if you're pregnant.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Oh.

You know, I was

always jealous of you.

Why?

Because you always

went your own way.

You never cared what

anyone thought. You know,

I still remember when you

came home with that nose ring.

Oh, the family dinner.

Mama was so pissed.

You came back with

that giant back tattoo.

She was, like, ready

to flip the table.

And she waited till dessert

to start throwing things.

You were always so

brave, you still are.

I never felt brave.

Even now, I wish I'd

done more with my life.

I think Maria is going

to get here soon.

You should probably go.

Yeah, of course.

This was fun.

We should do again soon.

OK, sis.

Bye.

[ROPE CREAKING]

[DISTANT DOGS BARKING]

[MUMBLES] Ugh.

Why are we wearing this?

Oh, men love it when

you wear their clothes.

They think it's sexy.

You know, I've been

thinking we should

leave the house messy for

Marcos every once in a while.

Why?

You know he likes it clean.

Uh, he also likes other things.

Like what?

Like uh, uh, uh.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

I've never been good at that.

What?

It's, like, the

easiest magic trick.

Everybody can do it.

You know, I already do

nice things for him.

Like I make his

morning smoothie.

What?

Oh, don't worry.

He thinks it's you.

Ugh.

But, like, there's a lot

of soy milk and kale.

OK, men need more

than just kale.

All right, look at me.

I'm going to teach you.

So you grab the

thing right here,

and then you put

the hand down here,

and then you do this

motion like this.

And then it's,

like, really intense

because you have to do two

movements at the same time,

but you really get

the hang of it.

Once you got the hang of

that, then you just go.

[VOCALIZING] like that.

And then after you do the

[VOCALIZING] like that,

you just go like, ah.

You know what I mean?

Like, so it's like...

Nuzzle too?

No, no, no.

Butterfly kisses.

I heard the tip is sensitive.

Stop it with the

butterfly kisses.

I'm telling you

[VOCALIZING] like that.

Yeah, make sure all...

Like, [VOCALIZING]

Don't make that sound, though,

because, like, that is not sexy.

You can, like, moan.

Like, moan.

[MOANS]

That's good.

Oh, my god, like,

are you a virgin?

Like, have you never

had sex before?

No, I just...

Like, do it again.

OK, can you just show

it to me one more time?

OK.

[VOCALIZING]

OK.

Like that.

Like that?

Yeah.

You got it.

One more time.

No, OK, enough, Sofia.

You try it.

You try it.

Hey, babe!

Babe, are you home?

I'm home!

I've been thinking

about you all day!

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

Hi.

I've been needing this, babe.

I've had such a long day.

Oh, come here.

Yeah?

OK.

[CHUCKLES] OK.

OK.

All right.

[MOANS]

Oh.

[BOTH MOANING]

Is that OK?

Yeah, yeah, OK, just a

little bit more gentler.

Oh, OK.

Yeah.

[MOANS]

[BITE CRACKLE]

Ow!

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

Oh, OK.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry/ I'm sorry.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Let me just... let

me just lay down.

Are you all right?

I mean, you seem different.

Yeah, I just...

I'm not feeling myself today.

Oh.

Maybe we can try

something different.

Yeah.

Maybe you can take the lead.

Um, yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC]

[MOANING AND CHUCKLING]

[THUDS]

[MOANING INTENSIFIES]

[CHUCKLING]

Wow.

Well, would you like some water?

Yes, please.

Oh.

Top of the morning, fly boy.

Keep this up, fly girl.

Good morning.

[SCREAMS] Oh, my god.

[SPANISH] [MOANS] [SPANISH]

I'm never going to get used

to a floating cup of

coffee above my head.

Shouldn't you

knock or something?

I'm going to put a bell on you.

What?

[CHUCKLES]

I don't even like it

when Marcos does it.

Sorry.

Ugh.

So how was writing?

Ugh.

You haven't sent me anything.

I will soon when I have

something decent to share.

Marcos has this weird

fantasy in his head about,

what, dating multiple

people, looks like.

I wish I could go back

to the way things were.

Lucia?

Mm, That'd.

Be nice.

I just connected with her on

a deeper level, that's all.

Well, I was thinking maybe

we could do something

different today to

help us connect.

What did you have in mind?

Follow me, and you'll find out.

OK.

Come on.

I'm just going for

the coffee, seriously.

Get up.

I don't care about whatever

it is that you have to do.

Fine.

What do you want

me... what is this?

Turn around.

OK.

And now you're going to fall.

What?

Fall.

I'm going to catch

you, I promise.

Just fall.

No way.

Wait, you don't trust me?

Oh, my god, you're scared.

Wait...

I am not.

Oh, you're scared.

You're scared of

giving up control.

I am not scared of that.

You're scared.

Then fall.

Fall if you're not scared.

Just fall.

Fine.

You better catch me, OK?

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Next we can do a buddy walk.

A buddy what?

Buddy walk.

You close your eyes,

and then I lead you

through a series of obstacles.

OK.

Oh, what, you've never

been to summer camp?

No.

I was schooled, remember?

[SPANISH] Let's get drunk.

OK.

OK, so you've never

been to a party before?

We are going to play

two truths and one lie.

I'll go first.

I really love my husband.

OK, obviously, that's true.

Come on.

I'm a virgin.

That is true for sure.

It is.

Mm-hmm.

The first time

Marcos and I had sex,

I stuck a finger up his butt.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Is that in your book?

And he liked it.

Bet he did.

Oh, OK, OK, my...

I gave my first

boyfriend pinkeye.

OK, that's true.

But how?

How?

Like, the first time

he went down on me,

I farted in his face.

Oh, my god.

I didn't know you could

get pink eye that way.

Damn.

Terrifying.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

I want to leave my husband.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

[SPANISH] No, you don't.

[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]

I have never fallen in love.

That... that can't be true.

That's the lie.

Nope.

Are you serious?

I mean, isn't that what

we all do all the time?

Wow.

OK.

That's sad.

[EXHALES DEEPLY] Hey, great job.

If this was summer camp, you'd

get a merit badge in trust.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

Oh my God, Sofia, I can see you.

OK, don't mess with me.

You're clearly drunk.

I can see you.

Stop messing with me.

What am I wearing, then?

Uh, a cute, little,

tiny, black dress.

Oh, sh*t.

And nice red lips.

Oh, my god, you

really can see me.

Wow, you're cute, really cute.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Wow, this is so cool.

I can see you.

Wait, what happened

to your shoes?

Oh, I didn't have a chance

to get them on before.

Oh, OK.

All right, I got an idea.

Follow me.

I know you can't

take that dress off,

but when you were in my

body, you wore what I wore.

Take the blindfold off.

[CHUCKLES] What?

Is this Marcos?

[CHUCKLES]

Everyone should wear a suit

at least once in their life.

And you wore one with Lucia?

Mm, once.

Tell me about her.

What was she like?

[SIGHS]

She was adventurous,

spontaneous.

Being with her always

felt new and exciting.

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

[MOANS]

Hey, babe.

Am I interrupting

a writing exercise?

Why are you wearing

one of my suits?

Or is this one of those

role playing things?

Are you my l*sbian banker,

and I'm here for a loan?

What?

No.

No?

I have good credit.

I have a steady job,

and I'm a veteran.

I mean, think

about the discounts

that I could get, right?

Oh, my god.

Mm, he's a perfect candidate

for low interest rates.

Sofia, stop.

Give him one.

We have to tell him.

No.

Who are you talking to?

I mean, is there

someone else here?

Well, she's been living

here since we moved in.

She?

Mm-hmm.

She, who?

Like, the homeowner?

No, Sofia.

Who is Sofia?

OK, so she used to live here.

Mm-hmm.

She died here, and

now she's stuck.

She is a ghost.

A bisexual ghost.

Wow, that's getting

so much easier to say.

It's like you never stop coming

out, even when you're dead.

Like...

A bisexual ghost.

A bisexual ghost has

been living here?

She's been haunting here,

spying on us all week?

Spying is a little harsh.

I mean, what was

I supposed to do?

Haunt my mom's house?

Everything.

Everything?

OK, well, prove it.

Why is that the first

thing guys say when

you tell them you're bisexual?

[MUMBLES] He wants you to

prove that you're a ghost,

not that you're bisexual.

Oh, OK.

How?

She wants to know how

you want her to prove it.

Uh, tell me something

only I know that she saw.

Uh, OK, well, for

starters, she's

the one making those ridiculous

shakes in the morning.

No, don't tell him that.

Well, I don't know what

you put into those things.

I mean, it is

really complicated.

Oh.

You haven't been

making my shakes?

Why would you lie about that?

That's such a stupid

thing to lie about.

I thought you were finally

putting me first for once.

OK, Sofia, do the thing.

What thing?

The thing where you

hop into his body.

Come on, be honest,

have you been

seeing somebody behind my

back since we moved here?

No.

Well, technically, yes, but

I just started seeing her.

Sofia, if you are in here,

you better show yourself,

or I am gone.

Oh, Sofia, please,

hop into his body.

He thinks I'm crazy.

It's the only way.

I don't know.

I don't know.

He seems really upset.

And the first time I did it

with you, it was an accident.

I don't know how I feel

about tapping into his body

without his consent.

OK, are you serious?

OK, She wants to know

if she has your consent

to hop into your body.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Sure, I consent.

OK.

Whoa.

I feel strong.

Oh, whoa, that's

definitely not mine.

OK, Sofia, stop.

Snap out of it.

Focus.

ba*ls are uncomfortable.

Oh, my voice sounds weird.

[MUMBLING]

Now do you believe me now?

I thought we weren't

going to keep

anything else from each other.

Oh, my god, how was...

You don't think I want

to know if there's

a freaking ghost in here?

How am I going to explain

to you that there's

a ghost in the house?

What do you mean, how are

you going to explain to me?

There's what I'm saying.

I know there was a ghost...

I'm going to give

you two some privacy.

[ARGUING]

I want my side of the bed back.

Pedro?

But what if God takes

you away from me again?

It would be worth it just to

feel your touch one last time.

Oh.

[SOFT MUSIC]

[WIND HOWLING]

Hey.

Um, Maria tells me that

you enjoy my cooking.

Would you like to

help me with dinner?

I'd love to.

Yeah?

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

So what's on the menu?

Well...

[EXCITING MUSIC]

Oh.

[CHUCKLING]

Ooh, looks good, y'all.

Ooh, that looks good.

Mm-hmm, just for you.

You're so...

You know [SPANISH]

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, you guys, this is amazing.

That's amazing.

You are a master chef.

Well, I didn't know that you

had mad cooking skills too.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Favorite sommelier.

Ladies, al amor.

Ah.

[CHUCKLES]

[GLASSES CLANK]

I want to be with

you in Marcos's body.

Me?

Mm-hmm.

What am I supposed to do?

You're just going to watch?

[ROMANTIC MUSIC]

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Lucia?

Can I come in?

Uh, yeah.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

So why are you here?

I had to come see you, after

the letter that you sent me.

Well...

You wrote her a letter?

No.

Lucia, I'm sorry, I

didn't send you a letter.

I did.

Wait, who said that?

Sofia.

Who is Sofia?

She's a ghost.

A bisexual ghost.

She came with the house.

It was in the fine

print on the lease.

So you didn't write it?

Well, she did.

I went through your

emails, and there

was all these unread

messages from Lucia

and this letter

sitting in your drafts.

I just wanted to help

bring you to some closure.

So I sent it.

I had to.

I meant all those things.

I just didn't have the

courage to send them.

So you do love her?

I love all of you, you idiot.

[SIGHS]

Sofia, please give

us a minute, please.

OK.

I really love your

dress, by the way.

Oh, thank you.

So what do you really want?

Oh, baby, I want you to make

my shakes in the morning.

[SCOFFS]

I want you to wash the dishes.

I want you to want

me and only me.

I am not your mother,

nor do I want to be.

Whatever it is that we're

doing is not working.

No one wants to do the dishes.

Sofia loves doing the dishes.

And I know that you love

that she does that too.

But Sofia is not real.

[SCOFFS]

[SIGHS]

We need to take a break.

[SOBBING]

I've missed you so much.

[CHUCKLING]

Your father and I were

together last night.

What?

Your mother and I were together.

It was beautiful.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Mom, dad, I don't

want to hear that right now.

Hey, I got my side

of the bed back.

The dumb dog had to

sleep on the floor.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Stupid dog.

Your father made me feel

like I was 23 again.

My body was tingling all over.

[BOTH MOANING]

La, la, la, la, la.

I am not hearing this.

Hey, don't be so close minded.

It was beautiful.

What are you two doing here?

Your mother wanted

to check on you

and see how it was going

with the new tenants.

Now is really not a good time.

Marcos, hey, hey,

where are you going?

[INHALES, EXHALES SHAKILY]

Hey, shh.

She doesn't love you anymore.

And you got to do what's

best for you, yeah?

So... so... wait.

Marco!

Let him go, morita.

He don't deserve you.

You're too good for him.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[ENGINE REVS, RECEDES]

Well, dating is not easy

when you're dead and in love.

Hey, sis.

I have something for you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Wait, wait, didn't

your sister pass away?

Yeah, she did.

Hey, hey, hey, what are

you even doing here?

Mom told me what happened, and

I didn't want you to be alone.

Oh, so what?

You're moving in now?

It's only temporary.

Come on, this is when

you need your family.

Mom's renting the house to

Julio and I for a little while.

You said you missed the kids.

And what do you think of Perla?

Yeah, I mean, she's super

cute, but that's not the point.

I need my own space

to be on my own.

You can still have that.

You can still have

your old room.

Look, Julio and I will

take abuela's room.

It's bigger.

And you can still

have friends over.

Just maybe no more

married couples, huh?

Too much drama.

Come on.

Now Perla has some of your

old things in that box.

Why don't you go show

her where they go?

All right.

All right, sexy friend,

follow the floating purse.

Wait, wait, you think I'm...

I'm sexy?

Sure.

Who doesn't think a girl

with blue hair and tattoos...

[TINKLE]

Wait, you can hear me?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I can hear you.

Good to know.

Hey, sis.

Oh, it's always good

to see you writing.

[MOANS]

Hey, how are you settling in?

Oh, unpacking takes forever.

Oh, I forgot to tell

you, mom is stopping by.

Oh, she was just here yesterday.

No, I know, but actually,

dad's going to be here too.

Dad?

Yeah, So I was thinking

maybe I could connect

you two when they get here.

I miss those babies.

We're home.

Morita,

Papa?

Papa.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Oh, my god.

Oh, my god, you're so big.

I missed you so much.

I've been here.

It's OK.

[SOBBING]

[MUFFLED CONVERSATION]

Oh, you're writing again, mija?

Oh.

Yeah.

It's been good.

Actually, the people

that have been staying

have given me a

lot of inspiration.

Yeah, go ahead and read.

Let me know what you think.

I look forward to it.

[GASPS]

No.

[SPANISH] [GASPS] Ay,

Sofia, you had a threesome

in your grandmother's bed?

How could you?

[SPANISH]

Get it, sis.
