01x02 - The Queen of Garbage

[bunniefuu]

MAKE YOUR STORY COUN

He loves me

He loves me not

I love him a lot

With all I've got

In every petal

I see his face

Telling me he loves me

He loves me

He loves me

He loves me

He loves me not

Who would've thought?

My sister-in-law, the Queen.

This all scares me, Erasmus.

Fear is not worthy of a queen.

Nor a prince.

-Long live the King!

-Long live the King!

Stop!

Just wait.

Come on, Pipe!

Pipe, what are you doing?

Are you okay?

I'm perfectly fine.

THE QUEEN OF GARBAGE

You?

Delfina Santillan

opened the door for me!

Thank you for this opportunity.

And even if you don't pick me,

as you said on your live stream,

participating is a victory.

Well, I want to win,

so that scholarship's already mine.

The Hangar Soho is around the corner.

This is my home.

Warm hearted, sweet and nice.

That's what people need to see.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

Maybe I wasn't quite clear.

Go out through that gate, turn left,

and you'll see a line

of people waiting to enter the Hangar.

Thank you, Delfy! You're the best!

Did you see who that was, Pipe?

She's so sweet, and simple and humble.

Not to mention how pretty she is.

Be careful with that garbage.

It's quite sneaky.

Her skin!

Her hair, her look,

her face and the dress she had on!

This is it.

-This is it.

-There's so many people!

Pipe, that's a lot of people.

That means

many are going to be left out.

Well, but life

always gives us more chances.

You should also pitch something, Pips.

Me? No, I'd never.

But you dance really well,

and besides

I close my eyes

And gaze at the sky

Brilliant blue

Like my hair's tie

Angels dance with daisies

I'm like them

But not as bright

If he loves me not

I'll fall apart

But if he loves me

I'll open my heart

He loves me

He loves me not

He loves me

What a thought

I love him a lot

With all I've got

In every petal

I see his face

He loves me, loves me, loves me

What a thought

He loves me

He loves me not

And as the petals softly fall

Through tears

I lose you, after all

The daisies' bloom

No longer glows

Only roses with thorns

It shows

All it takes is a wink

For me to run to his brink

He loves me

He loves me not

He loves me

He loves me not

I love him a lot

With all I've got

In every petal

I see his face

He loves me, loves me, loves me

He loves me

He loves me not

I love him a lot

With all I've got

In every petal

I see his face

Telling me he loves me

He loves me

Petal's dance

So bright

With delight

I love Margarita

A petal's song

So sweet

I love you

My heartbeat

I love Margarita

A petal's dance

So bright

With delight

I love Margarita

Hello! You're Margarita, and me?

I'm Merlin.

Hi, Margarita.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

You're already up.

Here's your breakfast.

This one or that?

Which one I like,

or which one your aunt will like?

Which one is cuter?

None of them. Depends on who it's for.

Ada, don't start. Just pick one.

Which one would most people

say is the cuter one?

You're the cutest one.

Yes, but we have to be careful

not to get our hopes up.

You know your aunt.

What about her?

She's volatile and disconcerting.

She said I could participate,

Ada, and I want to be prepared.

Are you sure she said that?

Of course. She said,

"It would be unethical to choose you,

but you have my full support."

Daisy, but your aunt didn't mean

what you think she meant.

You're making me nervous.

See, your aunt has a way to say things.

I think she meant she'll support you

in whatever you want to do,

but not in the contest.

So should I not go?

Why do I have to be left out?

Who said you'll be left out?

I just meant that, to get in,

we'll have to use a few tricks.

Come here.

It's impressive

how many people are here.

It hasn't been an hour

since Delfina announced the scholarship,

and the line goes around the block.

Try to speak more naturally.

You're holding the microphone too hard.

Just act naturally. Okay?

Try not to move your feet so much.

I need this to look good. All right?

It's impressive! The line is huge!

Adorable.

Well, get a drone,

so we can show the participants.

-Sure, it's done.

-Be careful with that.

Too many people mean a lot of people

will be left out and disappointed.

Life's like that, Salo.

You don't always get what you want.

But a patron of the future

has to be inclusive and not selective.

All right.

Now, if you'll join us,

we're gonna go outside to interview

some of the applicants.

Who's this airhead saying "outside"

while doing this?

She said, "If you'll join us."

What is that?

Is she hosting a show in the 80's?

We chose her for the reporting.

You don't like her?

We chose her? Who did?

I'm Cata, and I'm live from Hangar Soho.

Let's meet the applicants.

-What's your name?

-Hello! Julieta!

Poor girl. I think she's out.

Hey, you! Don't be upset.

I'm sure you're really talented.

Maybe you got anxious.

Delfy is a genius.

There might be a second round,

so no one will be left out.

Just give her some time.

-They're doing interviews.

-Yeah!

And it's live from Delfina's page!

How awesome!

It's dangerous, Mar!

We ran away from an orphanage.

What if they see us?

Do you remember the computers there?

They probably don't have internet.

Just relax. They don't even know

how to use the computers.

Who could possibly watch the live stream?

The principal?

Gladys, the Owl woman?

Don't worry, Pipe.

It's going to be okay.

Hello! Hi.

I'm Margarita, I'm so grateful

for this opportunity.

Delfy, I love you!

-That girl again.

-What?

What? Nothing.

-Is everything ready?

-Yeah.

The interviews are about to begin.

I think it's best for you not to appear

during this stage.

-That's fine.

-Is it?

Yes.

-Are you seeing someone?

-Excuse me.

I'm working on your profile.

It's for the press.

No. I'm not seeing anyone.

-Has it been long?

-Does it matter?

It does. Have you ever been married?

I was pretty close once,

but you know

-But what?

-But, luckily, I didn't.

Isn't it for my profile?

Then write it down.

I'm a woman

that's dedicated to her passion,

an independent woman,

and write this down in capital letters.

"I'm a woman who doesn't need

a man to feel fulfilled."

So welcome to the 21st century.

I didn't mean to offend you.

-I'm just trying to get to know you.

-Sorry for letting you down.

Hello, I'm Única.

That snobby girl is

from yesterday's commercial.

What is your real name?

How old are you? Where are you from?

I'm Única. That's all you need to know.

My name says it all.

She's pretty.

It's easy being pretty,

but being interesting is hard, Pipe.

Hi, I'm Electric Fish.

I'm sixteen.

Hello, I'm Julieta.

My dream is to bring laughter

and justice to the world.

My name is Benedicto. I'm 16.

Hey! I'm Zeki, and I'm 17.

I'm Romeo.

I'm an artist,

and I'm on the autism spectrum.

Hello, I'm Otto. I'm 18.

My name is Sasha. I'm 14 years old.

You're 14? But the rules say 16.

Hello, I'm Alaska. I'm 18 years old.

What else?

My poetry can inspire kids in the Hangar

and around the world.

I really love music, and I also dance.

I love textile and clothing design.

My pronouns are they and them.

So adorable! The way they dress.

I bet they're going to win.

I'm Mei, and I want you to know that,

even if you don't choose me,

I really appreciate the opportunity,

so thank you.

I don't buy what losers say

about being grateful

just for participating.

Sorry, but with all due respect,

there're no rules about it.

-Yes, there is. Right?

-No.

That kid is such a genius.

He's super smart. I bet he beats us all.

My dream is to sing, dance and act.

Did I say it right?

-Is there anything else, Romeo?

-No.

I like cinema, digital art,

and I create magical worlds,

where I'm happy.

Magical worlds! I love it.

People don't remember who participated.

They remember who won.

You didn't say your name.

-Thank you, Rey.

-Thank you.

He's full of himself.

A hottie for sure. That much is true.

But a bit of humbleness, please!

He's a hottie?

But isn't that cheating, Ada?

Cheating is for cheaters.

This is just a trick. Like magic.

-Don't hurt him!

-Let me go.

Who are you? You can't be here.

-I got lost.

-Is that right?

I'm a contestant. I'm sorry.

Miss?

I saw her, and I wanted to ask

Are you Princess Margarita?

Daisy, yeah.

Hi, Daisy.

Enough! Take the lost boy

to where he belongs.

Just go! Lost

Let's focus.

Wave goodbye like a princess.

Focus on this.

You need to prepare for the audition.

I'll fill your application. Go on.

M? Your name is M?

Well, no. Of course not.

But since everyone here is named King,

Única, Splendid, I'm the Best,

I also wanted a cool name.

Whatever, tell me what you do.

How long have you got?

I might be 17,

but I've lived more than a 170 year old.

Let's keep it short. So, what do you do?

What don't I do? I'm multi-faceted.

-Who do you live with?

-My friend Pipe.

Just the two of you?

I mean, you're minors.

Pipe and I have a lot in common.

The most important one

is that we're both orphans.

No! Don't say: "Poor thing."

Everyone has their own thing.

Nothing is perfect.

We didn't have parents,

but we had a lot of other things.

Such as?

The orphanage where we met

is simply amazing.

-It's not like that!

-Lazy!

There were nice people

taking care of us.

There were loving people

that supported us no matter what.

So you both live at an orphanage?

Well, the thing is

People at the orphanage

were so amazing,

that when we told them our dreams,

they got us a really nice place

to stay together

Come on,

I know you're in there, come out!

with loving people

who treat us like their children.

I want you out!

Well, I'm glad they treat you so well.

Thank you.

Thanks. Well, next we have M.

She just had her turn.

-Come on, people.

-My name is also M.

You're exposing us.

It's live. They're going to see you.

There's nothing to worry about.

Tell us about yourself.

There's really nothing special about me.

Typical middle class family.

Mom, Dad, my brother and I.

What do you study?

Yes. I study Arts,

at the public university.

Get this into your head.

I don't plan to study Law,

or Political Science.

I'm going to be a musician.

You are the Prince of Krikoragán.

One day you will be king.

That's what you need to prepare for.

Merlin, let's go.

Let's just hope

your audition isn't "typical".

The scholarships are

for extraordinary people.

Sorry, guys. It wasn't recording.

Don't worry about it.

Everyone gather, please.

Delfina wants to talk to you.

Let's go.

Dreamers of the world, what a thrill.

Thank you so much

for your participation.

You are all so amazing,

talented and lovely.

I wish I could tell you

there are a million scholarships,

but, unfortunately, that's not the case.

Stay tuned.

Today you'll receive the details

for the next audition.

And don't worry

if you don't get selected.

Don't lose your faith,

your strength and excitement.

This is just one more step

towards your dreams,

and dreams must be pursued.

So that's it.

Get ready,

because tomorrow will be an amazing day.

What are you doing? You scared me.

Why use the door?

No, a paper flew out the window.

Did you find it, M?

-How do you know?

-My sister's friend saw you.

-Don't tell anyone.

-Of course.

I'll cover for you,

like I did with your uncle.

But tell me, why'd you go?

Okay, I'll tell you.

Don't you think it's funny

we both applied as M?

What if it's not a coincidence,

but a sign?

-What could it mean?

-Nothing.

You wanted to be cool,

but that guy

I don't know. He's hiding something.

-I don't like him.

-You're being really mean.

But what makes you say that?

I don't know.

He was hiding from the cameras,

and looking around.

I just don't like him.

Well, maybe he's shy.

Maybe you like him.

Spare me.

We're not kids anymore, Pipe.

Shut up, please.

-What's it say?

-"Pay your overdue balance."

If the official is of higher rank,

where should they sit?

On the left or right?

On the left or right?

On the left?

That depends on whether

the king or queen are present.

If not Daisy!

You're not paying attention.

Ada, can we leave the etiquette class

for another day?

No.

You'll get the message. Don't worry.

How can you be sure?

I put your application in the file.

Did you happen to see, by any chance,

who was selected?

By any chance?

-Anyone in particular?

-No.

I just meant in general.

You're smitten with that boy,

and I don't like him a bit.

Why not? You don't even know him.

He called you a "princess."

He knows you,

which means something's up.

When something

doesn't sit right with me,

I don't like it.

So I'll never get to go out with a boy,

because I'm a princess?

Daisy, nobody here knows you,

but he knew perfectly well who you are.

Why is that?

Understand?

-I don't like it.

-"I don't like it." Sure.

Margarita lives there.

My father dethroned hers.

She should be the heir to the throne.

Not me.

So?

I'm in.

I'm on to the next stage, Ada! I got it!

-They're going to hear.

-I don't care!

Let them hear! I got the scholarship!

You still have to audition.

Have you decided what to do?

Of course! Make coffee.

It's going to be a long night.

-Why is that?

-I got the scholarship.

-I got it.

-You got it.

Get that box.

No.

The landlady.

See? I bet she heard us!

No, don't worry. I got some money.

I'll pay the rest tomorrow.

When did you get the money?

You think you're the only one

with talent?

-Fine. Let's go.

-Come on.

Well, well, well.

We finally found the fugitives.

Mr. Rinualdo! Mrs. Owl Face!

What did you call me?

-I don't get it.

-How we found you?

Apparently, the girl did an audition,

and gave this address.

That was easy. Playtime's over.

-Let's get going.

-No.

Don't make me have

the police officer handcuff you.

No.

No.

Why don't we calm down

and have a chat?

I don't have time for this. Officer.

Go! Mar, get that scholarship.

No! She's getting away!

Get her, officer!

Margarita.

Adri.

How are you, sweetie?

Not great. Can I stay with you?

Yes, of course.

I wouldn't leave you on your own.

Don't worry.

When I heard about the scholarships,

I imagined the Hangar would be

like Noah's Ark for artists.

If I'm getting on the ark,

I'll have to bring some species with me.

I'm a plastic artist,

and I sculpt creatures.

Yeah.

But he's on the autism spectrum, Delfy.

I don't think he'd be a good fit.

The Patron of the Future

must be inclusive.

If I wake up in a bad mood

Because my boyfriend didn't call

The adventure is about to begin

You have to play the game

You can't miss

I've been so lonely

I can feel life calling out to me

Deep inside

No more excuses

You have to get out

It's time to break free

To dance and jump

I wish I knew a way

For you to look at me

Just once

Come here

Come and get it

Just look

Can't you see

There's so much to discover?

You know it

Don't be naive

To live a lie

The world around you

Is gray and cynic

So my heart keeps on racing

Lost, with no clear path

The only thing I carry

Is love

That's me

I'm my own abyss

I'd be your guy

I'd feel so immortal

Make your own strength

And obey the king

Faceless costumes

Paper masks

No eyes, no soul

No blood, no tears

Just floating

In such tempestuous skies

I lose myself

In deep waters

You know it

Don't you know it?

You know it

You really do

Too well

What is Daisy doing here?

How could you do something like that?

You said I could.

No, I told you it wouldn't be ethical

for you to participate.

You made the whole contest look bad.

People vote while they're auditioning,

and well, she got more votes than most.

Because they don't know

she's my niece, Salo.

People will think it was a fraud.

Years taking care of your image,

no one has ever seen a photo of you,

and you expose yourself?

I can't hide forever.

If we don't let her,

people are going to be upset.

People will be really upset.

Honestly, she was brilliant.

Congratulations.

Don't congratulate her.

Don't you understand she defied me?

What were you two doing?

How didn't you see it?

Ada! It was Ada.

I saw her acting suspicious.

I don't feel well.

Seriously, I don't feel good about this.

I'm sorry, Auntie.

I just wanted to participate,

like any other girl.

But you're not like other girls, honey.

Go on.

Now what?

People tend to value honesty.

You should tell the truth.

Let people vote on it.

We'll decide it later.

Let's continue with the auditions.

You're far from home

And you want to fly

But there are no signs

So you don't try

I search for you

And I say

You should come back

Because love

You'll never lack

If you wait for me

I'll return

If you call for me

I'll be there

If you seek for me

I will stay

If you call for me

I'll be there

Here I am, again

His skill level is truly spectacular.

There were many brilliant moments.

There's at least six

that are really excellent.

Some are a little weak,

but we can eliminate them later.

Are you looking forward to that?

-It's a contest.

-Enough.

It's a scholarship, Yamila.

The concept is different.

It's to help and empower, not eliminate.

Are all the contestants done?

Anyone else?

-They're all done.

-Okay.

It's my turn!

Red hearts

Not broken hearts

Filled with love so vast

Dreaming of a better world at last

Blackened hearts

Are just asleep

So wounded

They feel fear deep

For they are hurt

And steeped

I'm a red heart

I fall in love

I will never

Never give up

The black hearts sleep

They dream

They dream in black

For that heart

That heart

That grows

With love's embrace

For that red heart

Shining heart

That walks

Towards the sun's grace

Heart, my heart

Don't be caught in their fray

Heart, my heart

For love they cannot convey

So? What'd you think

of the beggar's audition?

Awful.

But I guess people like

seeing that crap.

Hello, I'm Mei.

I just wanted to tell you

that I really loved your audition.

Yes, I think it was one of the best.

-You're humble!

-I'm not humble. I'm just honest.

I think you're very pale.

Hi! What a surprise to see you here.

It's my namesake.

I knew you looked familiar.

You were amazing.

You were amazing.

Everyone's talking about your audition.

I guess it wasn't bad.

But many others were also so great.

You're in.

I just loved what you did.

-Me? Thanks.

-Yes.

In my opinion,

the best one was that girl.

Yeah, it was impressive.

-She was good.

-Amazing.

I love kawaii.

You know what kawaii is?

Obviously, I lived in Korea,

and spent a long time in Japan.

Really?

Yeah. What you did was so amazing.

-Thanks.

-You're so in.

I'd really love to, but technically,

I shouldn't be participating.

Delfina is my aunt, so it's unethical.

You're Delfina's niece?

You're Princess Margarita?

Don't scream.

So what should I call you?

Your highness?

Should I do a "reverberation"?

-You mean a reverence?

-Yeah.

Don't be silly.

I'm not the princess of anything.

I'd like to thank

everyone who participated.

You're all so talented,

creative and charismatic.

To those who aren't chosen today,

I know that life will give you

another great chance somewhere else.

Before revealing

the list of those chosen,

I want to address a difficult topic,

and it's about someone

I love very much.

I'm not going to say she cheated,

because there is no rule.

She did do something

that seems unethical to me,

and that is that my niece Daisy,

whom I love very dearly.

She participated in the contest

without my knowledge.

However, I must admit she did amazing.

She was spectacular,

and everyone loved it.

I propose we put it up for a vote.

You'll be the ones to decide

if my niece can participate or not.

In case you decide

that she can participate,

my idea is to increase

the number of scholarships,

so more artists will have

even more chances.

While we're here,

Sasha found a loophole in our rules,

and the truth is

people loved what you did,

we all loved you,

so if your family allows,

you'll be the first.

He'll sign whatever.

Very well, welcome then.

It's time to reveal the list

of those that have been chosen.

Única.

Zeki.

Romeo.

Otto.

Mei.

Rey.

M.

That M, the gentleman.

Can you please get on stage

for a moment?

What you did was extremely creative,

and so spectacular.

I'd like to hear you sing another song.

Is that okay?

Of course!

Maybe a ballad,

to show another side of yourself?

Yes, of course.

Very well. Thank you.

I don't know who composed this song,

or who sang it first.

When I was small,

I lived with a woman

who was like an aunt to me.

She was very loving and sweet.

She was an angel.

My angel.

When she died,

I had to live somewhere else,

so I wanted to take

something of hers with me

so I'd always have her close.

Going through her things,

I found something that was very old,

from old times, it was a CD.

This song was on that CD.

It's called "Why?"

I watch raindrops

Streaming down my windowpane

Knowing all will remain

Just the same come tomorrow

The sun will rise at last

The moon will shine so bright

The river's flow

Will hold steadfast

And mountains

Won't fall from height

Why do I lose my words?

Imprisoned by your gaze

Why does everything seem distant?

Why without you

There's nothing I see?

Why are there no fairies?

No princes or dreams

Why does it all feel like lies?

Why without you

Life loses its gleam?

Life loses its gleam

-What is your name?

-Margarita.

What you did was beautiful.

But, unfortunately,

there's no place for you here.

There isn't?

I'm sorry.

Why do I lose my words?

Imprisoned by your gaze

Why does everything seem distant?

Why without you

There's nothing I see?

Why are there no fairies?

You go away

And then, you appear

I look for you

But you're not there

At night

I think of you

And sometimes

I can't get through

This game is so insane

I don't want to play again

Nor be the one who cries

And searches for you

Even knowing

You won't be there too

This is not a game

And all is real

I know how much I love you

And sometimes I can't deal

I don't want to lose you

Nor make you cry

I dream awake

Of seeing you nearby

I dream

That you will arrive

If you want to hurt me

I won't deny

I don't know how to defend myself

From someone like you

Someone who keeps secrets

Lies and stories too

And makes me suffer

If you want to hurt me

Here I am

Come to me

I never meant to hurt you

It's something I can't do

You're the princess I've dreamed of

My heart's one and only love

I keep no more secrets

I confess

This is my truth

Nothing less

I hope to find you

My star

To love you again

Wherever you are

This isn't a game we play

It's so real

In every way

I know how much I care

But, sometimes

I'm lost in despair

I don't want to lose you

Or see you shed a tear

I daydream

Of catching your sight

I dream

Of you here tonight

If you want to hurt me

You can go ahead

How can I defend myself

From someone like you?

Keeping secrets

Lies and tales

Making me suffer

If you want to hurt me

Here I am

Come to me

Come to me

Come to me
