Guzmán.

I need to ask you a few questions.

What happened?

LAKE CLUB

Look, I need you to tell me

what you saw here tonight.

What happened?

[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]

[SIREN WAILING]

[INSPECTOR] Guzmán.

Relax, son.

Everything's gonna be okay.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[COACH] Boys, lanes one and two.

Girls, three, four, and five.

- [GIRL] Any particular reason for this?

- [COACH] For what?

For dividing us by

gender, not by skill level.

The best swimmers could be in lane

one, and the worst in lane five.

[COACH] Just split

up like I told you to.

On your marks

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[STUDENTS CHEERING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Your next follow-up's

not till next year,

which gives us three months to relax.

[MAN] Azucena.

Please, come in.

Muñoz, go to class.

In his own words, the school has been

a truck going downhill with

no brakes for two years.

[QUIETLY] f*ck.

And he's here to fix it.

Starting now, it seems.

[LIGHTER CLICKS]

With no notice. He fired me with

the school year underway. At my age!

f*cking school. I'm going with you.

Don't be silly. You're

staying right here.

- [LIGHTER CLICKS]

- See?

I should've gone

backpacking. I told you.

Why am I wasting my time here?

Honey, this is your last

year. Then you're done.

I know. What's the point of graduating?

In case you change your mind and

decide to continue your studies.

Stay here with Omar.

Don't worry about me.

I'll figure it out.

Where'd they find this dude?

- [REMOTE BEEPS]

- [PRINCIPAL] Discipline.

- [SOUND EFFECTS WHOOSH]

- [PRINCIPAL] Excellence. Achievement.

You might be asking yourself

what a CEO is doing

running a school like this.

The answer is very simple.

Like with any family, whenever

one of its members has a problem,

the father quickly

swoops in to the rescue.

And I think we can all

be in agreement that

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH] Let's be honest.

For the past few years, Las

Encinas has steered off course.

[STUDENT SNORING]

[OMAR GASPS]

Thanks so much for honoring

us with your attention.

- [STUDENTS LAUGH]

- sh*t, sorry. I just worked late

No, no, no, no, no, no. No excuses.

No, I can't tolerate excuses.

Want some words to live by? And

this really goes for all of you.

Don't ever waste your time on excuses.

Instead, focus on

those three simple words.

"Discipline, excellence, achievement."

Welcome to this brand-new

chapter of Las Encinas.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Great race today.

- Great rival.

- Honestly, I gave it my all.

I needed to get to know you better

so I could outthink your strategy.

I kinda just go into

turbo mode and don't think.

Well, maybe that's the secret,

not thinking too much

and going into turbo.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Ari.

Guzmán. Welcome to the school.

Thank you.

Hey.

- Were you at the new principal's talk?

- Yeah.

Doesn't he seem like that basic dude

who says he's nice but is just a poser?

But he's not a poser. He's really cool.

You know that 'cause ?

He's my father.

You're joking.

[SCOFFS] Ciao.

- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING OVER EARBUDS]

- [GUZMÁN] See ya later, Ari.

- [SHOWERS RUNNING]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hey.

What's up?

Hey, your eyes are wandering.

Wasn't checking out your package.

I was looking at your scar.

Was it serious?

Yeah, it was.

The f*ck was that?

Car accident.

Yours?

Leukemia.

I almost d*ed in the accident.

Bedridden for two years.

I had to do physical

therapy to move again.

They thought I was a goner for sure.

Until it miraculously went into

remission. But it could come back.

All right. You win.

[ANDER CHUCKLES]

It's nice, you know? Your package, FYI.

Since I was looking at your

scar anyway, I kind of thought

[ANDER CHUCKLES]

Sorry. Didn't mean to

make you feel awkward.

That's okay.

And he's nice, too. All right.

When they're cute and

nice, they're straight.

My gaydar is pretty great.

You might want to get

it tuned up, your gaydar.

[GUY CHUCKLES]

Nice ass, dude.

Since I was looking at your scar anyway.

[GUY CHUCKLES]

I just got here from London,

so I'm a little lost here.

Well, let me know if

I can help in any way.

Great. Then you can

take me around Madrid

and introduce me to the gay nightlife.

I don't know many gay clubs, you know.

[CHUCKLES] Are you serious?

- [ANDER] Mm-hmm.

- [GUY INHALES SHARPLY]

Hey there, handsome.

This is Patrick. Just

got here from London.

Starting today, he's in our class.

My boyfriend, Omar.

[OMAR] Well, nice to meet you.

[ANDER] Kiss him hello.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

They kick you out of London

for being too European?

[CHUCKLES] No. Because my father's

the school's new principal.

[PRINCIPAL] Omar Shanaa?

Can you come to my office a moment?

- [OMAR SIGHS]

- [BOOKS THUD]

[PRINCIPAL] Our peaceful

coexistence at this school

is built on the basis of honesty.

That includes all of us.

The principal must be honest

with his students and vice versa.

Can we agree on that?

So let's be honest.

Shanaa. Do you deserve

a scholarship here?

- Of course he does

- [PRINCIPAL] Please don't interrupt.

I mean, my sister also came

here on a scholarship, so

Yes, it's an impressive record.

Your sister's, I mean. She

really did deserve to be here.

- Do you think you do?

- [SIGHS] Azucena saw something in me.

Could you tell me what exactly?

[OMAR TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

Because if you failed at an

average public school, then, well

[CHUCKLES] I don't think it's

because of your academic excellence.

I couldn't study because I was

taking care of my boyfriend.

He had leukemia.

I don't know if you've had to take

care of someone 24 hours a day

Yes, I have. I'm aware of all that.

And I really think what

you did was commendable.

I really do, but we need to understand

that when we are talking

about scholarships,

they're awarded for

academic achievement,

not our personal circumstances.

You following so far? Good. Hmm.

García.

And you?

I have an 80% GPA.

But you were also expelled for

serious misconduct. Isn't that right?

Yes, but that was due to

personal circumstances.

And in this situation,

we're only assessing

academic achievement, right?

[PRINCIPAL CHUCKLES SLIGHTLY]

Since I don't want the

rest of your classmates

to think you're getting some kind of

some kind of preferential treatment,

I'm gonna give you a placement exam

based on this past academic year

so that you can prove that you are,

in fact, deserving of the privilege

of having a scholarship to this school.

Hold on. What are you talking about?

Preferential treatment and privilege?

- Benjamín, I didn't go here last year

- That's all for now. Have a good day.

["NADA" PLAYING]

[GIRL] I really dig your vibe.

If you don't think that's awkward.

Thanks, I guess. I don't know

what vibe, but feel free to say it.

It's not awkward.

[GIRL] I mean, your attitude,

the way you look, the way

you walk down the hall.

Honestly, just all of you.

sh*t. You just gave me a

full-body scan in one split second.

[MENCÍA SCOFFS]

Name's Rebeka, with a k.

And I let people I think

are cool call me Rebe.

Hi, Rebe.

I'm Mencía. Encantada.

My pleasure.

I'm sorry you're pissed off, Ander.

I'm not to blame for

the actions of my father.

I'm not to blame for being

pissed at what he did.

The thing with your boyfriend

and the other guy sucks.

And the mom thing.

- Let's be honest. This school needed

- What?

Look, man.

I'm not saying your mother and Omar

were dealing dr*gs or k*lling anybody.

At least not that I know of.

But who knows, if someone like

my dad had been here to be,

maybe, more on top of things

Here to patch things up with

me or just bust my balls, dude?

Patrick, what is this?

Look at him. He was just puttin'

the moves on me in the shower.

- Now he's some kind of badass?

- Ander, calm down.

You think I hit on you? You

don't have a f*cking clue.

You and your father can

both go f*ck yourselves.

Go on.

Come on.

[ANDER HUFFS]

Patrick.

What's up with this guy?

Okay, all right, all right. Let

me see if I get this straight.

The Barbie on the right

and Sauna Ken right there

are the new principal's children,

and today is your first day too.

Look, if it's any consolation, though,

I have pretty much exactly

the same opinion you do

about both my dad and my siblings.

[INHALES SHARPLY] Uh

[CLICKS TONGUE, GRUNTS] No.

Not gonna work for me.

Good luck now, sweetheart.

["NADA" CONTINUES PLAYING]

Maybe today you'll even talk to me.

Or not.

I get the hint.

Dad, it's always the same thing.

We come into a new place

like a f*cking bulldozer.

- [BENJAMÍN] Watch your mouth.

- Sorry. Like a bulldozer.

And in the end, we're the

one they take it out on.

Can you define "bulldozer"?

f*ring the other principal

out of nowhere, for example.

But that's what I came here for.

He didn't warn us we were

leaving London either. You know?

That's how Benjamín operates.

Mencía, please, let's not.

I got the cold shoulder

from my whole class today.

And you did, too.

Like, seriously, you don't

always have to take his side.

Did that happen?

No. It went great.

Let's get glasses to toast.

Sure, so I made it all up.

And the exam to kick out the

kids on scholarship? Why do that?

I get that you want to fix

things, but pace yourself.

What are you gonna

have left for next week?

You just got here. Your first morning,

you've turned the place on its head.

- Bam! I don't

- Let's change the subject.

We're supposed to be celebrating

us all being in Madrid together,

if I can get a waiter.

- Ari. Jesus.

- Why's everyone so slow here in Spain?

And there's all these weird

smells. Um, like patchouli.

- Ari.

- [ARI] Patrick.

Dad's on a mission. We're

here to support however we can.

No, we're only here 'cause we're minors.

If I was old enough, I wouldn't

be here looking at your faces.

You know, I almost forgot

how much of a treat you are.

Okay, look, I'm going home.

It's been fun, but I'm

sick of this posing.

- [ARI] Mencía, sit down.

- [BENJAMÍN] Mencía, sit down.

Forget it. With that attitude,

we don't even want her here.

Although, I do agree with Patrick.

Maybe the exam for the

scholarship kids ?

[CHUCKLES] Oh my. Some backup.

I mean, maybe you can give them

a weekly evaluation till Christmas

or something more gradual,

where they could study.

Would you please stop

interfering in my work?

Mencía is enough on your plate.

You're not making any progress with her.

Dad.

No, it's okay. He's not wrong.

- I need the restroom.

Awesome. So why exactly did

you join us at the sit-in then?

To show you I'm on your

side and not your enemy.

And also, definitely to bust

my old man's balls a bit.

I guess I'm getting kicked to the curb.

[MENCÍA] No, maybe there is a way.

Benjamín has one massive weak spot,

my sister, Ari.

So I thought, if you

sweet-talk her a bit,

she's the only one able

to convince my father.

We'll do it. Any volunteers?

You.

- Why me?

- What do you mean, "Why?"

The girl's bougie, pretty,

and apparently kind of a bitch.

So, basically, your type.

No, no, no. Samuel's invisible to

Ari. She'd be more into Guzmán.

Not all girls are looking

for rich guys like you are.

Cayetana, can you go back to

mopping? You missed a spot. Thanks.

Oh wow, you guys are friends

with the cleaning lady?

Ah, it's a long story, but,

um we'll tell ya another time.

You're so inclusive.

And I'm here for it.

And yeah, she's right. For Ari,

a guy like Samuel's

practically invisible.

- Thanks.

- Guzmán.

No, forget it. I tried

something like that once before,

and you know how that turned out.

It ended with you getting

together with my sister.

And we're very happy together, Omar.

You don't have to fall in

love with her, you know.

- Just convince her to talk to her dad.

- Yeah, I know. But no.

Help me, O-Guzmán Kenobi.

[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]

[OMAR] You're my only hope.

Help me, dude.

[VELCRO CRACKLES]

- What?

- What?

What is it?

What is what?

[MENCÍA] I mean,

what's making you smile?

[REBE SIGHS] I'm not smilin'.

[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]

Nothing. It's just, I think maybe

I kind of like your vibe too.

Well, thanks.

Thank you for havin'

our backs out there.

So, do you have any plans for tonight?

["HACIA EL FONDO" PLAYING]

You're lookin' pretty good yourself.

Do you want a drink or anything?

Sounds like a plan.

[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]

Hey, are you and your brother and sister

triplets or something? [CHUCKLES]

Patrick and Ari are the twins.

I'm the baby and the smartest kid.

- That's why I skipped one grade ahead.

- Ah.

Hey, can you please bring us two sh*ts?

["HACIA EL FONDO" CONTINUES PLAYING]

[CHATTING INAUDIBLY]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, it's funny. I didn't

take you for one of those girls

who falls apart over some dude.

Yeah. Me neither, believe me.

Until this one guy showed up

and completely f*cked me over.

[CLICKS TONGUE] Got it.

Guys are great if you wanna f*ck

and take the edge off just a bit,

but when you wanna take

things to the next level

I don't think I've

experienced that level.

- So what's his name?

- [REBE] What?

The guy who f*cked with you.

Oh, uh, one of the guys

taking the exam. Samuel.

- Who, that short dude?

- [BOTH LAUGH]

[REBE] Well, I mean, look.

He doesn't seem as short

when he's lying naked in bed.

- [MENCÍA] Yeah, sure.

- [LAUGHS] But you're right.

[CHUCKLES] Well, I'll do what I can

to get you to totally drive

his name out of your mind

and replace it with another one.

That'd be ?

Mencía.

[CHUCKLES, INHALES SHARPLY]

You're like a little

time b*mb, aren't ya?

And And the fact is, right now,

I'm not sure I'm ready to have

things blow up in my face again.

I get you.

But this has been great. Really great.

I mean, actually, it's been, like,

months since I've hung out with someone

the entire night like this

and felt so so relaxed,

so comfortable, so

good. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Well, that's just a small taste

of that whole next-level thing

I was telling you about.

[MUSIC SWELLS]

I gotta peace out. Okay?

So, I'll see you. I'll

see you, uh, in class.

In a few hours, I guess. Ciao.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [BRIGHT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [BIRDS SINGING]

[ARI] Thank you, María.

Where's Mencía?

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[PATRICK] It's always the same

with you. You're a train wreck.

- Are you just coming in right now?

- [MENCÍA] Yeah. It was a night.

I, um, I actually had to take

a friend to the, um to the ER.

[MENCÍA] I'm dead

tired. I'm going to bed.

[BENJAMÍN SCOFFS]

Dad, I got her.

[SIGHS] Mencía, are you seriously

not even gonna bother coming up with

a more credible excuse?

This is none of your

business. Stay out of it.

Of course it's my business

because you're hurting me too.

I mean, haven't you hurt

us all enough as it is?

Wow, Ari.

That was an incredibly,

incredibly low blow.

- You know what I was trying to say.

- For the last time, get out of my face.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Oh, hey.

Well, you weren't a big fan of

the sit-in and protest, I gather.

We've learned we've got to

have each other's backs here.

- Well, I'm partial to helping my family.

- Yeah.

Hey, why don't we start over?

Just pick up where we

left off after the race.

Wait, from what point?

The point when you said my dad

was a poser pretending to be nice?

No, when you said you needed

to get to know me better

so you could b*at me or whatever.

- Mm-hmm.

- [GUZMÁN] You know what I think?

If you knew me, you

still couldn't b*at me.

But I'm willing to let you

get to know me just a smidge.

Then we'll see.

Wanna go get a drink after school?

- [ARI EXHALES]

- [GUZMÁN] Hmm.

[PATRICK ON PHONE SPEAKER]

Ander, it sucks that things

got f*cked up today.

'Cause the way we started

out was f*ckin' amazing.

Why don't we go out

tonight and patch this up?

There's a gay meetup thing

today at the Barceló Theatre.

Great music and hot guys.

And don't worry about your boyfriend.

I'm, uh, gonna try to steal

the answers to the test

from my dad somehow.

- And?

- [OMAR SIGHS]

He's implying if you go

out and suck his d*ck

[ANDER SCOFFS]

then maybe, sure,

he might give you the

answers to the exam tomorrow.

Ander, Mencía was very clear.

[WHISPERING] Ari's our target.

You don't have to go

anywhere near Patrick.

- Okay?

- [ANDER] Mm-hmm.

- ["LEMON" PLAYING]

- Day after day ♪

Flying days in space ♪

Over its dark, sullen screen ♪

He said to me ♪

- [ARI] Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Let's cut to the chase.

- [GUZMÁN] Thanks. Okay. About what?

What do I need to know

about you to b*at you?

Why so obsessed with winning?

Oh, 'cause you're not obsessed?

I used to be. Then life

put my priorities in check.

Come on. You sound like an

old man. What are you, 40?

Well, when your sister

dies at the age of 16,

then your best friend dies, and

your girlfriend starts a new life

Wait, you have a girlfriend?

Of all the things I said,

that's all you heard?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I already know what

it's like to lose someone

and have your whole

life turned upside down.

You don't look like

you've ever lost anything.

What's the last thing

you've lost? A hamster?

My mother.

And almost my brother too.

[SIGHS] She d*ed in a car accident.

I'm sorry. I'm a dickhead.

- I've lost three hamsters.

- [CHUCKLES]

And I'm still trying to get over it.

You also bring your girlfriend here?

The past's the past, you know?

[ARI] Hey.

In our class,

is everyone as personable

and charming as you are,

or are you one of a kind?

Well, thanks. [CHUCKLES]

They're just on their

guard 'cause of your father.

But if you loosen up, they will too.

- You'll be one of the g*ng.

- Loosen up?

The whole exam for Samuel and Omar,

you don't think that's a bit cruel?

Look, maybe there are other ways

to prove that they

deserve the scholarship.

Hmm. Could you ask your

dad to maybe let up a bit?

[SIGHS] I already hinted as much,

but once my father makes his

mind up about something

I see.

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

But, anyway, maybe I can try again.

Hey, would you?

That's f*cking great. Thanks.

[SIGHS]

Really, thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- No.

Uh, do you wanna come out to

dinner with me and your sister?

Go out with why?

So we can spend some time

together and open a dialogue.

I think it's a good idea.

Patrick suggested it, but

But he's not coming?

That's Patrick. He makes

a mess and then runs away.

- [ARI] Are you coming or not?

- Yeah, no. Sounds good, but I'll pass.

Okay, look, um, I'm tired

of making an effort with you.

- I'm done.

- Dad, come on.

No, just just forget it.

It's clear you're not

capable of handling her.

[SIGHS]

Now that's more the tone I

expected out of you, Benjamín.

Let's be honest, it was Well,

it wasn't really your thing.

That perfect father-of-the-year vibe.

You couldn't even fool yourself.

[BENJAMÍN] How's this?

From this moment forward,

you're blocked from accessing

my money on all your accounts.

I'll give you whatever is

required by law. No more, no less.

Fine. Then I'll just get a job, won't I?

- [LAUGHS] Oh, you will?

- [MENCÍA] Mm-hmm.

In what?

You haven't worked a day

in your miserable life.

Mencía. You brought

this all on yourself.

I don't know how to make you understand

you don't have to fight Dad and us.

Look, Patrick went out

with some classmates today.

And I

You had a date with Guzmán, and

you're floating on air, aren't you?

You're such an idiot.

Guzmán went out with you to

get those guys out of that exam.

I know 'cause it was my idea.

Yeah. Ari, they're all

using you. So drop it.

He's majorly in love with his girlfriend

and wants nothing to do with you.

All he wanted was to talk

you into convincing Benjamín

because that's all anyone is going

to be interested in you for, Ari.

Or did you really let yourself think

a guy like Guzmán would be interested?

Have you taken a look at yourself?

Wake up! You look like an idiot.

is about that damn test.

- Is that it?

- [SAMU] No.

- Right?

- If I have to take the exam, I'll take it.

It's about Omar.

- Please don't make him take it.

- [ARI SCOFFS]

- Anything for dessert?

- Wait just a second.

No. Yes, we do want dessert.

Dude, can you take a walk

and come back in a few? Okay?

Listen to me. You asked him whether

he deserved to be at Las Encinas.

Well, he does, I promise.

He always gives 150%.

He helps his parents, his

boyfriend, and he helps me.

Because I'm his best

friend, and we live together.

And he's the only family I

have, sir. And I'm so sick of it.

Losing all the people

I care about the most.

- [WAITER] Samuel, what's going on here?

- Nothing.

I am so sorry.

- No, no, really. It's no big deal.

- I'll take care of this.

Of course, this will all be

on the house. My apologies.

[BENJAMÍN SIGHS]

Go collect your things

'cause you're fired.

You think I should listen to

you? Forget about the exam?

Find another evaluation method?

No.

Give them the exam tomorrow.

["KUYAYKI (FEAT. CHANCHA

Hey, Satan. What are you doing?

Satan? Moi? I'm a sweet little cherub.

[CHUCKLES] Cherub, my ass, dude.

- What're you up to?

- Nothing.

Well, go do nothing over there.

I have a boyfriend.

Yeah, but did you know it's not cheating

if the action's over the clothes?

- Oh, it's not?

- [PATRICK] Uh-uh.

- [SIGHS]

- So, that's that. So back the f*ck off.

Don't misbehave. Hey!

But I'm not doing anything.

It sounded like you

wouldn't hook up with me

even if someone paid you, right?

Are you hooking up with me right now?

You aren't, are you? So, that's that.

[ANDER SIGHS]

[PATRICK] Here's a secret.

It's riskier to try and tell

yourself no than it is to say yes.

And your clothes are

on, so it's not cheating.

Stop, man. Stop.

Look, how far would you go to help Omar?

Or is this no longer about helping him?

[PANTS UNZIP]

Okay, that's enough. All right?

I'd do anything I could to help Omar.

Just like he did everything for me

when I couldn't get

out of my f*cking bed.

I'd do anything but betray him.

- [LOCK BEEPS]

- It's all yours.

No need to worry about

your father or anything.

Whatever you need, as

long as you need it. Okay?

Um, but hold on a minute.

I don't know if

[SIGHS] No, I have more

than one room in my name.

- It's for work.

- Oh.

Meetings, celebrities, and all that.

Um, well, okay.

[MAN CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[SIGHS]

What do you do, then?

Um, you know when a

politician's really powerful?

Like a president or a

minister, for instance?

Well, actually, they don't have that

much power. 'Cause I'm in charge.

[MENCÍA CHUCKLES]

- Like Rasputin.

- Ah. [CHUCKLES]

I read a lot. I'm also extremely smart.

Yep. [TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

Well, if you ever need

anything or get hungry,

call up room service and have

them put it on my bill. All right?

Appreciate it.

Are you all right?

Uh, yeah. Fine.

It's just that, I mean,

it's a very big room to

sleep in all alone. [CHUCKLES]

[MAN CHUCKLES]

Would you consider staying

here and sleeping with me?

- Just sleep, you mean?

- [MENCÍA] Yes.

- No.

- [SCOFFS] No?

[BOTH LAUGH]

Okay. Good night.

Armando.

You're name's Armando, right?

- [ARMANDO] Mm-hmm.

- Um

Come on and stay.

[CHUCKLES]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Dad, Mencía's gone.

[CLICKS TONGUE] She'll be back.

Yeah, but Dad

She can't go far without any money.

And I think we're used

to this sort of stunt

she pulls to get attention.

Shanaa, in an hour, you and García

take the exam in the computer lab.

That's it. I'm completely f*cked.

Hello, pretty boys.

Leave us alone, will you?

[PATRICK SIGHS]

You might be interested in this.

The answers?

So, you went out last night after all?

Well, you have the answers

there. That's what matters.

[SHEET CRINKLES]

I see. Is there anything

I should know, or ?

Mm, no. We just danced a bit.

- Right?

- [PATRICK] Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

[ANDER] I didn't think he'd

give them to us. But look.

[OMAR SIGHS]

How do we know these are even accurate?

- Why would I wanna d*ck you over?

- To get me out of the way? I don't know.

Look, we got off to a

f*cking terrible start.

And this is the only way I

could think of to apologize.

If you wanna know if I really mean it,

just use those answers and find out.

LOAD EXAM RESULTS

Seventy-three out of 100.

You passed.

[SAMU SIGHS]

[BENJAMÍN] I spoke to your manager

to ask him to hire you back again.

I explained to him that you

were only trying to help.

[SAMU] Thank you.

[BENJAMÍN] But García, let

me offer you a word of advice.

Sure.

[BENJAMÍN EXHALES]

Stop fighting other people's battles

for them, and focus on your own.

All that being said, you

displayed great confidence,

your argument was concise,

direct, a clearly stated thesis.

And although you went a little

overboard with the emotions,

it was a sound strategy.

I can never have too many

students at this school

who have such a facility with words.

Welcome.

All right.

[BENJAMÍN] How do you

think you did on the exam?

Um mm

I did okay. Uh, I think so.

You just think?

[OMAR SIGHS]

Ninety-seven out of one hundred.

Someone who got an almost-perfect

grade knows they did.

It takes someone who's incredibly dense

to get almost 100% when

they're trying to cheat.

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH] Yeah, well

Mm, either dense or a hard worker.

Okay then.

I guess I'm staying right here

with my scholarship,

my uniform, the works.

That'll be all.

Great. Have a good day.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- [CAYETANA] And?

- [OMAR AND ANDER LAUGH]

- So? Tell us.

- That's awesome. Look at you!

Really, what did you get?

Uh, 97.

- You serious?

- You did?

And look at that. You were so worried.

That's so wild. That's crazy.

Yeah, and he was so worried.

[SIGHS] Hey, dude. Um

Hey, thanks a lot.

I mean it.

- It's nothing.

- [ANDER] Thank you.

- Ah, yes!

- [CAYETANA LAUGHING] Oh man!

Did you tell your father yet?

- [OMAR] No, I haven't.

- So, all we did was dance? [CHUCKLES]

- You don't think that.

- [CAYETANA] Your sister's gonna flip.

- [SAMU] Seriously.

I've been chatting with her.

She is such a sweetheart.

We got along super well.

Told her about our date yesterday.

to get to know you better

You lied to me to get what you

wanted, and I just lied to you.

[EXHALES] You.

What?

Tell your friend I haven't written

to his girlfriend so he can breathe.

If either of you thought you could

dominate or get one over on me,

well, think twice next time.
