03x03 - Whoever Falls in Love First Loses

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

You pay 20 euros for one of these.
It only lasts five days.

Okay, if you're pregnant,
you can either spend 120 euros a month

or feel nauseous and put up
with morning sickness as best you can.

Everyone who works for insurances,
we're not just taking this drug for fun.

We're using it to cope
with pregnancy symptoms.

To help with nausea and vomiting.

-But don't worry. I have the solution.
-Hey.

If you read the back of the box,
you can see here.

This is doxylamine with vitamin B6.

So, go buy the generic doxylamine
and the vitamin separately.

It'll cost half the price.

f*ck pharmaceuticals.

Wouldn't it be easier if you said,
"It's amazing. It gets rid of nausea"?

-And get it for free?
-[Daniela] Probably.

Valentina, I want some toast with avocado

and chia seeds and a decaf with oat milk.

-Good morning. Mm.
-[Daniela] Mm.

I don't know
what Patricia's still doing here.

Pedro, she jumped off a boat.
I can't leave her alone, okay?

Okay, but…

Oh, they're gonna
tell us the sex of the baby,

and we don't have any name choices.
Think about it.

If it's a girl, I like Viviana.

-Hmm.
-And for a boy, Aníbal.

Mm. Just like the serial k*ller?

Aníbal Aguilar sounds nice.

Or Aníbal Galván.

No? Logically,
the mother's last name goes first.

Well, normally, you'd put
the father's last name first.

Should we discuss our sexist society
and how women have been turned

into reproductive objects

simply here to satisfy
the masculine need to have offspring?

-No, no.
-No? Put Galván first then.

[exhales]

ALPHA MALES

First, they take
Father's Day away from us,

then our last names.

Well, it kind of makes sense
to put the mother's last name first.

Uh, but that would be like
it's not even your kid.

I mean, on the one hand, I get it,
but it also pisses me off.

[Luis] What do you do if you don't agree?

The dad's last name comes first.

The registry judge decides according
to the best interests of the baby.

Just making up problems.

The father's last name
has always gone first.

This obsession with changing everything.

And speaking of traditions.

Tomorrow is the dinner
for our school reunion. It'll be fun.

[scoffs] No f*cking way. Too depressing.

Hey, come on. It'll be great.

It'd be cool to see how unkind time's been
to your classmates.

Time doesn't spare any of us.

Yeah, but you see yourself every day,
so you can't really tell.

[Luis] I won't go alone.
We go together, I'm down.

Luz has some time off.
We finally have a date.

Have you noticed that whenever
Luz calls you, you're available?

So?

Maybe you should try to humble her.
"You're available? Well, I'm not."

Yeah, dude, I think
you should respect yourself a bit more.

But I already said yes.

Okay, but she told you
she'd spend the weekend with you,

then gallivanted off to Paris
with some other guy.

[Pedro laughs]

Is Lorena going? She was so hot.

[chuckles] Hang on. I'll confirm.

-[Raúl chuckles]
-[scoffs]

[Paz moans]

Paz. Paz. No, I can't.
I have to get going.

-Okay.
-Paz.

-Go then.
-No.

[exhales] Damn it, I'm late.

Don't you feel like a sl*ve
keeping your schedule?

Why don't you just do your own thing?
You can take your clients with you.

Because I've been
at the firm for eight years.

They have to make me partner soon.

Well, let's see. If you're nervous
about it, I'll give you the money.

What are you saying? Don't be ridiculous.

Why not? What do you need?
An office, some people. That's it.

Oh, no, I don't need that.

[panting]

I don't understand, but fine.

I don't understand
why you live in a hotel.

Listen, it's super practical and cheap.
I'll show you the numbers sometime.

So, see you later tonight?

-No, sorry. I have plans.
-Hmm? Hmm.

You know, I don't understand that either.

Why do you need some guy
when you already have me?

-[gasps] I think you're jealous.
-You wish.

[laughing]

-You're so jealous. Come here.
-Totally. I'm so jealous. Hmm.

-See ya.
-[chuckles]

[Luis panting]



Are you saying my mother's a sugar baby?

I can't do this right now.
I'm on my way to work.

-Why are you doing this to us?
-Because she's my client.

Turn her down.
Isn't it a conflict of interest?

The poor woman basically lived
like a sl*ve for the last 52 years.

Don't you feel bad?

-For that woman? No.
-My mom took care of us out of love.

Why do you care?
The one paying is Joaquín.

He worked for the government.
How would he get that kind of cash?

All right, this is the request from Marga.

But it's the judge
that decides how much he owes.

Fifty, 100.

Look, the maximum is 200,000.

Come on, why don't we try
to beat that record?

Luz, we can't have
this man staying in our house.

Well, a retirement home
could be the answer.

-My father in a retirement…
-No, that costs too much.

Doesn't he have other children?

Yes, my sister-in-law,
but she is in Valencia.

Okay, well, I'm sure the Mediterranean
breeze might do him some good.

You're just after his money.

You're a gold digger.

Hold on, Luis. Luis, wait right here.
I'll speak to her, okay? Shh!

Bloodsucking lawyer!

-Oh, boy, he was upset.
-Huh.

[cell phone rings]

Oh, so I've got
my stand-up at ten o'clock.

Be there for me, okay?

[groans] Raúl, I can't talk now.

[Raúl] Luz, I can't see you tonight.

-Something came up.
-Okay, that's great, bye.

That's great? I just can't do nine,
but I'll come by later.

Don't make any plans.

[Rita whines]

She bailed on us.

[Luz exhales]

Okay, yes, I'll be there.

You better.

[Pedro] Yeah, what is it?

What?

Ah, for f*ck's sake.

What's the director gonna do about it?

No, no, no, no.

-I'm coming. m*therf*cker. [exhales]
-[sighs]

Paloma is gone.

Paloma?

My wife.

And she's taken our kids.

Wait. I didn't know you were married.

What am I gonna do, Pedro?

[scoffs] She is the love of my life.

Roberto, I'm sorry, but there's a problem
on set, and I have to go.

Okay, I'll go too. I don't wanna be alone.

[chattering]

-What's wrong?
-[director sighs]

He tried to make out with her,
and apparently, he got a hard-on.

Well, you know,
not apparently, 'cause it's on camera.

-Oh, jeez.
-Can we watch it?

You know, to assess the situation.

All right, listen.
Don't you talk about that beforehand?

What, about getting a b*ner?
Well, no, we didn't talk about that.

-Where is she?
-[director] In her dressing room.

-She wants to report him.
-Oh, f*ck.

[knock on door]

I said I'm not doing it.

[Pedro] It's Pedro. Aguilar.

Come in.

Leticia, I'm very sorry
about what happened on set today.

I already said it.
I asked for a g*y actor.

Okay, but you know Óscar.
He's very methodical.

He gets into his character.

In Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!,
Antonio Banderas and Victoria did it.

Who the f*ck is this?

[Pedro] Roberto, please.

[Roberto] She should watch it.
It's film history.

Listen, okay. You're only
touching during this scene, right?

Pedro, I'm certain
he touched in rehearsal.

-I'll report him and cancel his a*s.
-No, please don't.

I'm sure if we give him
a formal warning from the producer,

he'll be more careful.

I won't do a second season
with that b*stard.

I can promise you
that I'll throw him out a window,

or he'll break his neck in the shower,

but please, can we just finish this one?

One more take.

One and then I'm going home.

[Pedro] Okay, let's sh**t this scene.
We're only doing one take.

What do you mean, one take?

-If you get a b*ner, I'll cut it off.
-[exhales]

[man] Let's get ready, everybody.
Quiet on set.

Uh, you can't be here now.

We only sh**t this with a limited crew.

Of course, we're leaving.

No, why? But I wanna
learn how they film this.

[Pedro] Come on, as*h*le.

[Santi] Shirt out?

Or should I tuck it?

Dad, I stalked your girlfriend on Insta,
and I'm a little bit worried.

-I'll tuck it in. Hmm.
-I think she's too smart for you.

[sighs] Thanks, honey. You really
know how to boost my self-esteem. Hmm?

So when are we hanging out?
So I can know how disappointed you'll be.

-Here with your mother?
-Mm-hmm.

No, no, no.

Let's go to a restaurant then.

Dad, if I don't meet her,
I can't give you advice.

And you'll ruin it.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Enough already.

-And leave your shirt out.
-[sighs]

Yes, all this talk about
empowerment and fairness

and equality is all well and good.

But it also demonizes
the thought of marriage,

because it is an effective institution,
but very patriarchal.

And it's causing us
to avoid forming any sort of connection

that could be so profound
with another person.

And it's so nice to find someone

that has the power to f*ck with your life.

[laughing]

It was really interesting.
I loved it. I really did.

Yes, and I also agree
that this global narcissism

is leading us to a horrible place,
you know? Yeah.

Well, it was nice
to have a man in the audience.

[chuckles] I'm really learning
a lot from you. Uh-huh.

By the way, and Álex,
my daughter, she's such a huge fan.

-She's been begging to meet you all day.
-Hmm.

But I already told her that--
it's weird, you know?

Why is it weird?

Well, I don't know.

Oh, she can tell me all about
those perverts in her class.

-Well, then maybe I can let her know.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Uh, should we grab lunch tomorrow?

-Sure.
-Yeah?

-Mm-hmm.
-What are you doing tonight?

Are you working on your book or…

-Why? What do you wanna do?
-I don't know. What do you feel like?

You can surprise me.

Well, hello.
Why are you looking so pretty?

Well, it's for tonight.
I'm gonna do stand-up.

I could be seen by a producer.

Comedy? Why didn't you say anything?

Oh, I didn't mention it?

I have that high school reunion dinner,
but I can come see you instead.

No, no, no, I'm way too nervous.

Go to your dinner.
Your father can watch the kids.

And God help us all.

Babysitting again?

Calm down. I'll prepare their dinner.

[Joaquín] Come here.
Come on, in there. Go on.

Go! I wanna tell you something.

I don't like how that woman treats you.

-She controls you.
-[sighs] Dad, you're so old-fashioned.

And who exactly
wears the pants in this house?

-Can you just be quiet? Move over.
-I'm just saying.

Hey, what's up, guys?

Irene wants me to surprise her.
Ideas, ideas?

Santi, can't you see I'm at work?

So why do you answer?

I need to take her somewhere tonight.
Somewhere original and romantic.

Go see Esther do comedy.

I can't go. It'd be weird.

Comedy? Esther?

Original, yes. Romantic…

I was looking
at tickets for The Lion King.

[laughs] Are you trying to scare her off?

Oh, no, it was too expensive, no.

I'm telling you, go see Esther.

You can say you're supporting a friend.
You'll look good.

But is she any good?

Esther. Hilarious.

-[Virginia] Pedro.
-My boss. Gotta go.

-She wants to f*ck. I'm telling you.
-[Pedro] Shh!

Hey, Dad, what are you-- [exhales]

[exhales] Virginia, how are you?

Bad. Do you know
how much worse this could've gone?

If this actress reports us,
the series would be over.

It's all sorted out.
These things happen during filming.

Why didn't you hire
an intimacy coordinator?

[sighs] Yeah.

I know. I know. Look, he shouldn't
have tried to make out with her.

But about the erection,
how can you blame him?

It's an involuntary reaction.

-Are you justifying it?
-No, but, uh--

Pedro, this company has a protocol
for harassment that's very strict.

Uh, if someone tickles you,
you laugh, right?

And why the hell
was Roberto there with you?

Because his wife left him--

Oh, so you thought,
"Let's go and see Leticia's t*ts."

-Is that it?
-No, no, listen.

I didn't know
they were filming that scene.

So you don't look at the filming schedule?

[sighs] I don't know.

I feel like just lately
everything I do is bad.

Well, just think about it.

And one more thing.

Have you read the pilot for Harassed?
I thought it was very funny.

Yeah, it has a lot of potential.

Are we really
the same age as these losers?

I bet they're thinking
the same thing about us.

Speak for yourself.

Mm. Oh, wow, Lorena.

[Raúl] That isn't Lorena, man.

-[Luis] It is, dude. Look.
-[Raúl] How can that be Lore--

-Holy sh*t! It is her.
-I know it is. [chuckles]

Oh, sh*t, Marimar.

[Raúl] Didn't you have the hots for her?

Yeah, I loved her
all throughout high school.

I owe it to my 15-year-old self
to f*ck her.

Relax, I'll do it for you.

Hey, wait. Dude, she's my childhood crush.

You can't do that. You're not
in an open relationship anymore.

-There's a code.
-There's no code.

There's no code.

Raúl, you haven't changed at all. Wow.

Hi.

And you look fantastic.
I mean, were you always this hot?

-[laughs]
-What's up, Marimar? Long time no see.

Uh, and who are you?

-Uh, Luis. Luis. Luis Bravo.
-[chuckles]

I made you
those cheat sheets back in the day.

[gasps] The long-haired guy?
The guy that wanted to be Bon Jovi?

-Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-How's it going? [laughs]

[Luis] Mm. Mm.

He's local police now.

I have a gastrobar
in the city called Plates to Devour.

And I'm a nurse.

Well, now we both dedicate ourselves
to public service. Mm.

It's tough but so rewarding. Isn't it?

I just really enjoy poking people.

-Well, I have thick veins.
-[laughing]

[door closes]

-Hello there.
-Hmm.

[chuckles] Hmm. Thank you.

-Where are you going?
-Oh, to present some awards.

You serious?
I brought you a vegetable wok.

Hmm. Pedro, if I don't work,
I don't make money.

The sad reality of being self-employed.

But you can't work in your condition.
You have to get some rest.

Dude, I'm pregnant. Not sick, all right?

Do you want me to go with you?

[Daniela] Mm.

Enjoy that, I guess, Patricia.

[Patricia] Thank you.

You wanna watch some true crime?

-[slow-tempo music playing]
-[in Spanish] ♪ And you and I ♪

♪ Dancing samba in the living room… ♪

[in English] This was surprising.

No, no, my friend is on next.

Yeah. You'll see.
She's hilarious, I swear.

[woman in Spanish] ♪ Dancing samba
In the living room… ♪

[in English] Hey.

Why are you here?

[chuckles] Relax. I'm supporting Esther.

Uh, Irene, Pedro. Pedro, Irene.

-Ha-ha.
-Hey, the Moses of sexist pigs.

I wrote an article about you.

Oh, yeah? I didn't read it.

Is he your friend?

He's changed a lot.
It's true, and he's gonna be a dad.

-Right? Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.

-Congratulations
-Yeah, thanks. We're both very happy.

-She was great.
-Hmm. Wonderful.

Uh, they're having a tough time right now.

Yeah, because his girl--
well, she's not his girl.

They're, you know, whatever.

You see, the thing is
she wants to put her last name first.

Well, logically, right?

We're having that discussion.

All right. Technically, women don't even
have their own last names, truthfully.

We get our father's last name,
and well, our mother's vanishes.

So why not just
continue putting our last name first?

-[Irene] Hmm.
-[Santi sighs]

[clears throat] He's not really
a close friend, not really.

[Esther] Good evening!

-[crowd cheering]
-Good evening.

[whistles]

-Whoo!
-Hello, my name is Esther Alonso.

I'm a young and up-and-coming comedian.

[laughing]

[Esther] This is great.
A night without the kids.

Yay! And yes, I am married.

And I prefer being here
at the club than at my house,

so you can imagine
how things are going. [laughing]

-[laughing]
-Hmm. What is this sh*t?

[Esther] Okay, all right,
so let me ask you guys.

Who's dating someone? Put your hands up.

Whoa, whoa, okay.

And who here is single?

I feel for you.

-You'll bite the dust soon. [laughing]
-Wow.

[Marimar] Amazing.

The biggest failure
at school has had the most success.

I wouldn't say I'm successful.
I consider myself a hard worker.

[Luis scoffs]

You married? Are you divorced?

-Single, single.
-[Luis] Hah.

[chuckles] He put a ring
in his girlfriend's cake,

but it didn't go very well.

[laughs]

You know I'm single as well.

-Really?
-[Luis] Marimar.

Now that I've had a bit to drink.
I need to say, uh,

all throughout high school,
I used to have a huge crush on you,

but I was so shy that no one noticed.

Oh, we all did. [laughs]

-Oh, and-- and did you or…
-Hmm.

-Well, you know, I liked Raúl.
-[cell phone chimes]

Oh, sorry.

SHOULD I WAIT UP FOR YOU?

Sorry. I have to go.

-Aww, too bad.
-[Luis] Mm.

Yeah, I gotta take the dog for a walk.
She's at home alone, poor thing.

[Marimar groans, chuckles]

-Well, maybe we can hang out another day?
-Another day? No.

My restaurant, dinner tomorrow.
I'll send you the address.

All right. [chuckles]

-[chuckles] I'm sorry.
-[chuckles] Sorry. Yeah.

-All right.
-Ow!

Watch that drinking,
don't wanna get pulled over.

Go get f*cked.

That's what I'm doing.

-[all chattering, laughing]
-So all of you work together? [laughs]

Oh, have you thought about hair implants?

Nowadays, you can't tell. [chuckles]

[TV playing indistinctly]

Patricia.

[woman on TV] …how much
it would hurt all of us.

-It wasn't clear. It was scary…
-[Pedro exhales]

Patricia.

[groans] What's going on?

Is Daniela home yet?

No, she hasn't come back.

[sighs] Man.

[sighs]

Daniela, it's already five a.m.

I mean, are you safe? Are you even alive?

-[door opens]
-[Daniela] Ah!

[hesitates] Why didn't
you answer your phone?

Oh, my phone battery died.

Whoa. I really missed
having a fun night out.

-Have you been drinking?
-No way. Stop trying to control me.

I'm not trying to be controlling.
I'm worried about you and our baby.

You're carrying a life inside you.

Whoa! I'm heading to bed.

We'll just talk tomorrow,
I'll let you calm down.

Just go to bed.
You're acting like an old man, Pedro.

[gasps] Acting old?

Coffee?

Oh! Yes, thank you.

-[exhales]
-Good morning.

Hi, there. [chuckles]

Hey, you didn't tell me
how your party went yesterday.

Very good.

It was just a school reunion dinner.
I met up with an old crush of mine.

-Mm. And?
-[doorbell rings]

Churros!

No, I'm gonna k*ll you.

Luz Ferreiro?

FOR THE ENSLAVED LAWYER
WITH THE BEST a*s IN MADRID

-The doctor will be right with you.
-Thanks.

So you're not talking to me?

Why? So we can argue again?

Listen, if you wanna put Galván first,
we can do that.

The last name doesn't matter.
I just wanna feel relaxed.

-How are you both doing?
-Good, very good.

-Doing fine. [clears throat]
-[Daniela] Great.

[doctor] Perfect.

Ready?

-Ooh, that's cold.
-[device beeps]

-And there's your baby.
-[Daniela] Mm.

-[doctor] Everything is perfect.
-[Daniela] Hmm.

-[doctor] Do you wanna know the gender?
-No, can you put it in an envelope for us?

For the gender reveal party
Cynthia is organizing.

Now, what the hell is that?

A party where
we find out the baby's gender.

We're going to be sponsored
by a diaper brand.

-I thought you were an influ-hater.
-Mm-hmm.

Until I ran the numbers.

Oh, and one more thing.
We are pretending we're a couple.

For all the followers
and brands and stuff.

-Is that a problem? Hmm.
-No, no, no.

[Raúl] The guy takes her to Paris,
sends her flowers in front of my face.

He knew I was there. Well, f*ck him.

Because I changed the card
and I gave her the flowers.

What is it with Luz and old guys?

Last night, she came to watch Esther.

-Luz?
-[Santi] Mm-hmm.

-With that prick who sent flowers?
-No, with Paz, a friend.

Ah. You know the as*h*le's name
begins with a P, hmm?

The card was signed "P period."

-With a P, huh?
-[Raúl] Yeah.

Hmm. Pablo, Pepe, Paco.

-[Santi] Patricio.
-Patricio?

Pedro. Oh, hey.

-Daniela told me we're a couple again!
-That's great, dude. You're back together.

[Pedro] Well, no.
It's just for the brands.

-But baby steps, you know.
-[Santi] Yeah, good.

-[Luis] Good.
-[Raúl] Mm-hmm.

Uh, I got a little problem
with Irene, I think.

-What did you do now?
-Nothing.

But last night, Esther asked
how many couples and singles were there.

I raised my hand for couples.
She did for singles.

[Pedro inhales sharply]

-She didn't see it. Uh, but I don't know.
-[Raúl groans]

It was-- I felt bad. 'Cause I'm in love.

-Already?
-[Raúl] But don't tell her.

Fall in love, you lose.

[Pedro] Hey,
how was your thing last night?

The dinner for your school reunion.

f*cking great. I'm going out
with this guy's ex-crush tonight.

If you hurt Marimar, I'll beat you.

[Raúl] Yeah, no one
even recognized this as*h*le.

That's what you get
for not supporting your wife.

It's good you didn't. She tore you apart.

Wait, what?

Her entire stand-up routine
was just making fun of her husband.

She told us you're an amoeba.
You're an as*h*le and whipped.

-That you iron her underwear.
-[splutters] I iron her underwear?

She even talked about
the a**l vibrator you got for her.

She said you bought
that thing for yourself. [laughs]

[laughing]

I should be partner.

I've spent eight years at the firm,
and I think I deserve it.

Do you want a summary of my achievements?
I've got my numbers right here.

Luz, why are you rushing like this?
You're still so young. [chuckles]

I'm young?

The average age
for partners is 37. I'm 43.

I get here at nine a.m.,
and I don't leave till 11 at night.

No one doubts
that you're an excellent professional.

I don't know. Why do I get the sense,

and it's not victimization,

but that because I'm a woman,
I need more merits?

What are you saying?

Alfonso, 80% of partners here are men.

And I've worked on most of your divorces.

Luz, this isn't something
we can decide right here in the office.

[man] And you're not the only one
that thinks they deserve it.

There's a naming committee
that makes a report

with the billing amounts
of each candidate,

the clients they've generated,
their eminence, technical excellence.

[man] We consult other partners.

[man 2] In any case,
it would be next year.

But, hey, it's a possibility, okay?

You're doing great.

[Luz exhales]

-I quit my job.
-Mm. That's great.

-Come with me.
-[Luz] What? Okay.

-Ta-da!
-Ha! [gasps]

"Ferreiro and Artigas"?

"Luz and Paz"
sounded like a Catholic sect. Hmm.

-[both laugh]
-How did you know I would…

-That I would quit my job?
-I didn't.

But if you wait too long before
doing something that you wanna do…

What?

You're so--

-Oh, you're crazy! [laughs]
-Right, and you're so hot. [laughs]

Wow.

-Girl, help your father clear the table.
-I am not a girl.

What's she saying now?

Dad, come on, tell Grandpa
he has to respect my pronouns.

[Esther] Hi!

Right, everyone go and watch TV right now.

And you, put down the phone. I'll take it.

-Come on, come on.
-I'm so hungry. What's for lunch?

She has you whipped.

Well, how did the stand-up go?
Did they laugh a lot?

[Esther] Well, yeah.

The truth is I have a talent for comedy.

Right, and what about my cut?

-Huh?
-[Luis] Well, you did tear me to pieces.

Sorry. I didn't say your name.
I just said "my husband."

And who's your husband?

An undetermined person.

No, he's not undetermined.

Because if the poster says Esther Alonso,

it's understood that your husband
is Esther Alonso's husband.

-And that's me.
-Oh, come on.

-Did you say I iron your underwear?
-Yes, I did say that.

-I won't do it.
-Trying to tell you. You keep doing it.

Esther, how far are you willing
to go for this career?

Did you ever call your sister? Hmm?

But, Carmen, I know he'll be more
comfortable living with you in Valencia.

Madrid just reminds him of Mom.

-[Joaquín] I'm not leaving here!
-[Luis] Ah.

Oh. No, no, no.
Right, right, right. Okay, no then.

Okay, well, see you at Christmas.
Your kids all right?

Okay, good. Much love. All right, bye-bye.

Ah, it's too late. My mom's moved in.

What?

-She says she prefers Valencia.
-[groans]

Because the boats leave from there.

-What are you doing?
-Finding a retirement home.

Honey, I'm not putting my father in
a retirement home. He's not that old.

Not by the time we get a spot. No.

Okay, don't worry.
They'll make up and sort it out.

When Mom gets back from her cruise trip,
she'll see that Dad is better.

Luis, that man is 82 years old.

Who are you calling?

[Luis exhales]

-Patrick, what's up?
-Ugh!

Hey, an idea.

A deconstruction course for the elderly
and add in a cooking class.

What do you think?

Is your daughter not coming?

Nah, I thought it was maybe
a bit too soon for us. Yeah.

Santi, I saw you put your hand up.

[Santi] Ah.

Oh, okay.

[chuckles] Didn't think you noticed.

I used peripheral vision.

I raised it so I wouldn't offend you.

-You know?
-Hmm.

Because in these individualistic times,

no one creates
a good connection with anyone.

Look, I'm having a lot of fun with you.
If you're looking for something serious.

No. Ha-ha! No, no, not at all.

-No, no, no.
-Right now, I'm so busy with work.

[Santi] Uh-huh.

-With my book.
-Yes, me too.

You know, it's a lot. I have
a lot going on in my mind right now.

And I was also worried about
the same things as you.

I thought, "What if Irene
is falling in love?

-No, no. Don't worry.
-No?

Oh. Great.

But you're sure, right?

-No way.
-Okay. Just a little bit? Just a little?

[sighs] Not at all.

Perfect. Ha!

Perfect. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm so glad. Okay, wow.

-[Álex] Hey, Dad!
-Huh?

Sweetie, what are you doing here?
I canceled.

Oh, I had you on silent.

-Hello, Irene.
-[Irene] Hello.

They tagged along. How are you? I'm Álex.

-[Irene] Nice to meet you.
-And I'm Blanca, his ex.

And you, you must be Manu.

No, no, no. I'm Manu, actually.

-How are you?
-[Blanca] This is Salva, my guy.

-Hello.
-Oh, sorry.

-Sit down.
-Sure, hey.

-Don't sit down, please. Don't sit.
-[Blanca] Calm down.

It's a family dinner, okay? [laughs]

I've been dying to meet you.
My dad's crazy about you.

-[clattering]
-Oh, damn.

[chuckles]

[man on TV] It was dangerous.
We wanted to protect…

Daniela, dinner!

Patricia, can you leave us alone?

I can't turn it off now.
They're about to get the Highway k*ller.

-Watch it downstairs.
-[clicks]

-[grunts]
-You have a TV in your room.

But it's not a smart TV.
It doesn't have Netflix.

-Go on, get down there.
-[exhales]

Wow.

[exhales] I'll be damned.

You're the sexiest mommy
in the universe. [laughs]

Thanks. I'm going out,
but I'll have my phone on.

Going out? What do you mean?
I just made dinner for us.

Pedro, we're not together.

[splutters] I know, but…

[clears throat] …since we're pretending,

I thought it wouldn't hurt
if we practiced.

Yeah.

-[intercom rings]
-[gasps]

Yes, she's here.
Patricia, it's your mother!

[chuckles] What?

-Ooh, Dad! You came to stay as well?
-[mother laughing]

Daniela paid for business class,

but I chose to travel in economy
so we could come together.

-[Patricia shouts, laughs]
-What the--

What is going on?

Poor thing.
She can't just give birth alone.

They could stay in a hotel.

-Have some humanity.
-Huh.

-[Patricia] Come in.
-We have room, don't we?

[all laughing]

[Marimar] I was with Diego for 12 years.
It was never the right time to have kids.

Or get married.

Because he said marriage
was a piece of paper.

-So you left him?
-He left me for someone else.

Now, they're married and have three kids.

Lucía, Hugo, and baby Martina.

He posts a lot on Instagram.

And videos and Stories.

It's a good thing you're over him.

And have you thought of being a father?

Oh, yeah, always wanted to.

See, my ex is a divorce lawyer,
and she was just cynical about it all.

The one you bought the ring for?

That's her.

The day I was going to propose,
she asked for an open relationship.

But gosh, that's horrible.

How do you expect to create a connection
if you're sleeping with other people?

-I know. It's impossible.
-[Diego] How is everyone?

-Is the food good?
-[Marimar] Yes, great.

-Thank you so much.
-[Raúl] Hey, this is the b*mb, dude.

He doesn't even know the menu
at his own restaurant.

[sighs]

I got so many projects.
I don't have the time.

How amazing that we reconnected
at this exact moment, huh?

Totally.

[both moaning]

-[groans] Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
-What is it?

Um, it's nothing,
but I prefer to go slow for now.

For me, sex is a very intimate.

-I don't wanna share it with just anyone.
-I'm not just anyone.

We've known each other for 30 years.

But I wanna do things right this time.

I promised myself that I wouldn't
let someone manipulate me.

No, no, and I respect you a lot.

[Marimar chuckles]

Have a good night.

Come on, damn it, Marimar.

[exhales]

Irene saw me put my hand up.

-Holy sh*t.
-[Santi] Doesn't matter. It's all good.

-We are now officially f*ck-buddies.
-Welcome to the club.

[chuckles] No, sorry, it's not the same.

What's more degrading?
Romantic anarchy or f*ck-buddies?

Romantic anarchy
sounds more like a relationship.

Uh, okay, but being f*ck buddies
means you're even closer.

It's all the same stuff.
Absurd labels to avoid commitment.

See? My situation is clear.

Marriage with a mortgage and two kids.
Absolutely no room for doubt.

-This is just sad.
-[Luis laughs]

-Wanna go play video games?
-All right, one where you k*ll people.

Well, in the end,
it looks like I'll be the winner.

Hey, wait for me!
