[instructor over speaker]
What are you waiting
to realize? "I can. I am."
I remove all stagnant energy, and repeat…
-[sighs]
-…"I release myself…
-from all that is old…
-[sighs]
-…to welcome all that is new."
-Oh, yeah, I release myself
from everything old
to welcome everything new. [groans]
[instructor over speaker]
Breathe in the new,
breathe out the old.
[inhales] Breathe in the new
and breathe out the old.
-[instructor] Breathe in the new…
-[sighs]
-[grunts]
-…and breathe out the old.
Breathe in the new…
And these goddamn plastic straws
shouldn't even exist!
-Think about the turtles, dammit!
-[soft upbeat music playing]
-[Jaime] Oh, this looks yummy, huh?
-Let's see if this is ready.
-Oh, it smells good, right?
-Mm-hmm.
[Martín] Okay, let's see. [exhales]
I think this is enough, right?
Or should I cut more?
-No, no, no, it's perfect like that.
-[thudding in distance]
Hey, Jaime, would you do me a favor
-and open the door?
-Yeah, coming.
Oh, and grab the salami
while you're at it.
-Yeah, I'm on it, dude.
-Oh, look at that…
-That's ready.
-What's up with the elevator?
This is the third time today I had to take
the stairs. [sighs]
I already ordered the replacement,
but you can guess
what that dirty thief did.
-[Martín] No, again?
-[Jaime] Again, dude.
That thief is really getting bold,
don't you think?
We need to do something,
for real.
-He’s too confident.
-[Jaime] Yeah.
[inhales] And what’s up?
Is Claudio not coming?
No, he got his package. Mm?
Mm. Maybe he's telling Ramiro
he's coming to play with us later.
Well, don't be so sure.
All couples lie to each other, you know?
-Mm.
-[Alafita laughs] That's true.
-[Marga grunting, groaning]
-[cutlery clanking]
Hey… she still looks really upset.
She keeps throwing things away.
No, I mean it.
But are you sure she got dumped?
Be careful not to jump to conclusions,
okay?
No, no, no. Look, I saw it myself.
The invitation said, "Marga and Gonzalo."
It's obvious.
She was left high and dry at the altar.
-[Jaime] That's terrible.
-Yeah, I mean, what else could it be?
Dude, it could be a thousand other things.
[Jaime] Hey, can you pass me the knife?
You know what? [sighs]
I'll be right back. I won't be long, okay?
-[Jaime] Where are you going?
-[Martín] No. Chill out, it's cool.
-Ugh, what a pain…
-Good God! Want to play some blackjack?
-All right.
-All right. Let's go.
-[door knocking]
-[sighs] Fuck's sake.
[gasps] Hi, neighbor. [chuckles]
-Hi, neighbor. Hey, everything okay?
-Yeah.
I heard a ruckus, so I wanted to come over
and see how you were doing.
Uh…
[Martín] I mean, I was this close
to calling the cops, you know?
[laughs] I'm perfectly fine.
Just cleaning up some stuff.
-I hate hoarding.
-Okay.
Look, so much junk, right?
-[chuckles, inhales]
-Mm.
Time for change.
Many changes, I imagine, right?
Anyway, if you want, I can lend a hand
with whatever you need, okay?
-[Marga] For real?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, I'm actually trying to find
some new stuff for the kitchen,
and you're an expert in that, right?
Ah, don't worry. I know the perfect place.
Actually, if you want,
I can take you there. Uh…
-Really?
-[Martín] Yeah.
[gasps] Perfect. Well, let's go.
Come on, come on.
-Oh, but right now?
-This is great.
Could you help me with the bags?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
I mean… But… Right now…Well, okay.
-[Marga] Okay.
-Hey, a favor in return,
could you help me choose a gift
for my uncle?
-A gift for your uncle?
-[Martín] Yeah.
Okay. Yeah, I can help.
[sighs]
Hey. What?
Seriously, your uncle's already…
he's here in…
Is he already in Mexico or what?
No, he’s coming next week.
The thing is,
the guy's gonna shoot a scene.
He’s a director now,
so he’s super excited and
Well, you could ask your uncle
for a job, right?
[Martín] Yeah.
Actually, I wanted to ask you a favor.
If… Well, if you'd come with me
to see him.
-Me?
-Uh-huh.
Okay, sure. And when is it?
[Martín] Uh, on the 29th.
The 29th of this month?
-[Martín] Uh, yes.
-No, Martín.
The 29th is Patrisha's party,
and I haven't booked the venue yet.
Oh, no. Marga, help me out.
Look, if you don't come with me,
I'm going to feel a bit,
you know, uncomfortable.
The film industry is kinda special,
you know? So, if you come with me
-I won't feel so lonely. Help me, please.
-Martín, believe me,
if it wasn't on the 29th,
I'd happily go with you,
but the 29th is my event.
-I mean, I can't miss my own event.
-[Martín] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Why don't you ask your mom?
-[elevator dinging]
I mean, your girlfriend
to go with you.
-Huh?
-[scoffs, sighs]
I'm sure she'd be really happy
to go with you, I mean…
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
BETWEEN WALLS
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, what's so funny?
This guy here turned out
to be really into cumbia.
Yeah, of course, cumbia and whatever's…
-[Marta] Yeah.
-…on, right?
Well, it's what I do sometimes,
to lift my spirits…
You know, why even bother lying to you?
-Well, I listen to pop rock.
-What do you mean, pop rock?
No offense. You don't know pop rock?
Well, th… the songs, classic songs
from yesterday and today,
I mean, the ones
that really touch the heart.
-That kind…
-Oh, musi… the old-school music.
Yeah, exactly, like that.
But anyway, how would you know
-about any of this?
-What do you mean, how would I know?
Of course I know.
-I love pop rock.
-Oh, come on… [sighs]
-…Marga, don't lie just to compete.
-Of course, I do.
-No. Obviously, I know it.
-It's fine. No… No-- Look, uh… uh-uh…
[vocalizing] There's nothing left to say
That's how it is in front of others ♪
Just friends, simply friends
and nothing more ♪
-But who really knows ♪
-But who really knows ♪
-What's going on between us two? ♪
-What's going on between us two? ♪
[both] If each of us, come nightfall
Pretends to say goodbye ♪
[pop rock music playing,
Ana Gabriel "Simplemente Amigos"]
How much I'd give to shout
Our love out to them ♪
To tell them that behind closed doors
We love each other beyond control ♪
That we wake up holding each other ♪
Eager to keep on making love ♪
But actually
they won't accept our love ♪
[music concludes]
Hey, what the hell?
I mean, don't leave me alone in this.
-No, no, no, no, no.
-[Marga] Are you judging me or what?
No, not at all.
[stutters] You sing really well.
But come on, what other guilty pleasure
songs do you know?
-Encore! Encore!
-No, come on. No, come on, Marga, no, no.
This isn’t karaoke, man?
So let's-- How about we get going?
Let’s get what we need and go.
-Oh, what a buzzkill.
-No, why?
I can't believe you brought me to
"Woodtastic, Woodtastic.
"Amazing kitchen discounts, bombastic."
Well, yeah, it was the first place
that came to mind. [laughs]
-Woodtastic, Woodtastic…
-[chuckles]
-…your kitchen, a place so fantastic.
-Fantastic. [chuckles]
-Oh, you know it, huh?
-Of course. [chuckles]
-Tell the truth, do they…
-Uh-huh?
-…pay you to promote this place or what?
-How did you figure me out?
-Huh? [chuckles]
-[chuckles softly]
-I mean, hold on, you said…
-Look at this--
…you said you would be buying
something for your uncle.
Are you buying him a blender or what?
-[sighs] Uh…
-So why are you here?
[indistinct chatter]
-Huh?
-[stutters] Can you hold this?
Wait for me. I'm going to… [sighs]
[soft ambient music playing]
[chuckles softly] Where are you hiding?
[announcer over PA] Attention.
Please proceed to the checkout area.
-Hello. [chuckles] Oh, sorry. [laughs]
-[Marga laughing] Wow! You scared me.
Look, this faucet would look great
in our place, wouldn't it?
Our place?
Oh, well, you know what I mean.
[scoffs] Uh, look.
[gasps] What are you doing?
Hey, babe, how’s it going? All good?
Hey… [sighs]… hold on.
You’re already late for work,
so have a seat.
In the meantime, I’ll whip up some eggs.
Sit down, please. Yeah.
-Okay.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, how'd you sleep, huh?
Well, not so great, actually.
Because I asked you
to look after the baby,
-and you blew it off. You didn't do it.
-Yeah, about the baby, sorry.
-I fell asleep early.
-[Marga] Mm-hmm, you really crashed hard.
I apologize, okay.
Hey, did you iron my clothes?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I ironed the beige shirt
and the black tie,
your favorites for work, right?
Or… or did I miss something?
-My tie?
-Yeah. The…
So, what? I'm the dad
and you're the mom or something?
Uh… Well, I guess, since you assumed
that just because I cooked an egg,
I also have to do the laundry and ironing,
I mean, that's why… [chuckles]… right?
-Yeah, right? [laughs]
-[chuckles] Yeah.
We are so programmed. It's awful.
Yeah. [laughs]
Well, not really for me, huh?
THE RECIPE FOR SECURITY
I've been living alone for so long that,
you know, the whole role thing…
You know, I cook for myself, iron,
-do my laundry, everything.
-That's just so awesome.
I feel like
we should be doing both things…
-You know, couples, right? I mean…
-Totally, being a team.
-I think that's what it's all about.
-Exactly.
[sighing]
-[chuckles]
-[groans, sighs]
How are you? Uh, do you remember me?
I'm Marga, Martín's neighbor.
And it's crazy
because we just came he… here,
I mean, I came to get some things
for my place.
-He came to buy stuff for his uncle.
-[Martín] That.
-[Marga] And…
-His uncle? His uncle…
-Mom, Daddy already paid.
[Silvana] Sweetheart,
I'm glad you already paid.
Hun, I'm done already. There was no line.
[Silvana] No, there's no line.
How… [gasps]
-[Silvana's husband] Everything okay?
-[Silvana] Yeah, very good.
-[chuckles] Patients everywhere.
-Ah… [chuckles]
You know how it is. [inhales deeply]
A doctor's always working, right? Always.
Okay, fine.
This… All set now, right?
[inhales] Never a day off for Mom…
-[chuckles]… right?
-[sighs, chuckles]
Even in stores, you run into patients.
[chuckles, inhales]
-This anxious lady wants another…
-[Silvia's husband] What? Really?
box of Klonopin, huh? [chuckles]
People are so addicted to it
I'm leaving, my tortillas are burning.
All right. I'm out.
[customers speaking indistinctly]
-Is she actually married?
-[sighs]
-Well…
-And… and… and how do you manage?
I mean, do they have an open marriage
or… or what?
-No, no, no, it's something that--
-Clearly, it's not open
because she pretended not to know you.
I mean,
that means she's cheating on him.
[inhales] And you're involved in that?
-Yeah, well-- Look, no…
-I mean, did you know?
-[sighs] Well--
-I think you did know
because, when she left,
you didn't even flinch.
You were totally unsurprised.
Uh, no. Look, at this point… I mean…
So, then, how… how long have you
been seeing each other like this?
How long?
-[sighs] Three--
-In this day and age, Martín?
That whole double life thing
was trendy 50 years ago, but now?
Seriously? Huh?
-[sighs deeply]
-[smacks lips] Well, yeah. [sighs]
-And you,
with the chance of having an amazing,
special relationship,
You're settling for this?
-Well, it's just, I need to--
-Because you're settling for nothing,
You get that?
-Well--
-Besides, you say
you don’t like soap operas,
but it’s like you’re living in one,
aren't you? Didn't you notice?
And you didn’t buy anything
for your uncle.
[tires screeching]
Basically, the guy wants to take me along
because he can't take her.
I mean, he's using me
as a fucking decoy with his uncle.
That's awful.
Good thing you got out of there, huh?
-That guy seems super toxic.
-Right?
Mm. This looks like
a pretty little funeral, doesn't it?
Well, yeah. That's what they want, can you
believe it?
Hey, I've got the servers lined up
for that.
Really? Wow, that's great.
[Kari] Oh. [hums]
What's next?
-Ah, this.
-You have to tell me about Vladi.
-[sighs]
-Tell me that story, please.
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing, Vanessa
Contenay-Quinones "Tentation d'Irma"]
-[music concludes]
-Hey, my darlings.
Vladi, I've told you a thousand times
not to close the door
when you bring people
into your room, okay?
[laughs] That's too funny.
[chuckles]
[sighs] No, and you know what?
It's not funny. I deleted LoveBee.
-What?
-Yeah.
I can't believe you deleted LoveBee.
I mean, you'd die.
No, I'm here, alive,
and I deleted LoveBee.
You know what? It's just that I'm…
I'm… I'm tired of chasing after love.
If people can’t accept me for who I am,
then I guess… [sighs] …well,
that’s not for me. It’s not for me, and…
Girl, you've never said this before.
This is the first time
I've heard you talk like this.
-Okay. [sniffles]
-[groans softly] I love you, girl.
Here they are. Five hundred balloons.
Oh…
You can inflate them
in half an hour, right?
You know we always have time.
Aww! He's turning 60
and they're celebrating
40 years of marriage.
-So sweet.
-After five years,
I was already fed up with it,
but well, yeah, to each their own penance.
I'll tell you what I think.
I don't feel like love or marriage
is a penance, honestly.
I think it's more like a commitment
you make with someone special…
I got stuck with someone really special
who fucked around
with our business partner at every event.
[sighs] Ugh, but talking about the past
is such a drag. We need to let go.
-[Kari] Yeah, yeah. Right.
-The jukebox?
-Hmm?
-The jukebox?
-The… the jukebox?
-Mm-hmm.
-Ye…
-[mumbles indistinctly] We already…
Y… Y…Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-It… It's coming.
-Mm-hmm.
-They were just giving us a heads up.
-Oh, perfect.
I have a very busy afternoon.
I don't want to be disturbed.
[Kari] Okay.
[sighs, snorts] Oh, I'm treating myself
to a little massage.
-Ah, sounds nice. What kind?
-Cool.
Lymphatic.
-Mm, enjoy.
-Mm, yummy.
-[Sofia] Don't bother me.
-No, sir.
-[player 1] Easy, easy.
-Get him.
[player 2] Defense!
-[Martín grunts]
-It's yours.
-[player 2] Guard him.
-[player 1] Cover him.
Hey, Nacho,
how's the transfer market looking?
I really need to switch teams. [exhales]
-[player 1] Here comes the shot.
-Here, here, here.
[player 1] Great, great.
-Here's the shot. Here's the shot.
-[Martín grunts]
-[player 2] Oh, that's great!
-[crowd exclaiming]
I mean, if it doesn't work out,
no big deal.
Just let me know,
and I'll find another conference.
-Seriously, dude?
-[sighs] Yeah.
But how can you leave,
if you're the star player?
[pants, scoffs] All right.
Did the coach give you a response?
[pants] Look, that guy over there
is Pistaches.
-He’s the best fiction editor in Mexico.
-[air horn blaring]
He’s a genius.
It’s insane that they’re letting him go.
-Really?
-[Nacho sighs] Yes.
Look, Martín, in this business,
you gotta put up with a lot
to get where you want to be.
What I’m saying is,
keep editing soap operas.
Don’t make waves,
and your time will come, okay?
-Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it.
-[Nacho] All right.
Come on,
that three-pointer won't score itself.
-[groans]
-[spectator 1 whistling]
[match whistle blows]
Honestly, I'm only doing it for Patri.
-I'd never make a dress for an event…
-[Marga] I know.
…that I can't attend,
but fashion week is fashion week.
You don't know how much we appreciate it.
Believe me, Patri is in the best hands,
-and so is the dress. [chuckles softly]
-I hope so.
[Patricia] Ta-da!
-You look amazing. Wow!
-Oh, my God, right?
-[sighs deeply]
-Very good.
I can't believe we actually recreated
Marie Antoinette's dress. You're a genius!
-Yeah, right?
-Honestly though, darling,
I'd love it if we could get rid
of these bits.
-And--
-[Alex] Look, easy.
This, this, a bit here and here.
What do you think?
-Let me see. You're a genius.
-I know, honey.
But one thing, sweetheart,
let's really accentuate the waist,
exaggerate it.
There's too much volume,
and I'm too short.
Oh, darling, don't you see it?
But it's all good, don't worry,
we've got this.
It's an honor for me to wear your dresses.
-I love you, darling.
-See you.
Yeah.
[stutters] Uh, Patri… I just…
-[Patricia] You love my dress, right?
-[chuckles nervously] Yeah, I adore it.
-[chuckles]
-Uh, I just wanted to… [breathes lightly]
-There's a little problem. [chuckles]
-No, wait. I don't wanna know.
You deal with it on your own.
Just listen to me for a minute.
Please, please, please. Okay? [sighs]
Uh, the venue it's not quite working out,
but we have tons of amazing options,
-so--
-Look, just to be clear,
if it's not that venue,
I don't want any other, okay? Got it?
Uh, I… Uh, I believe it's possible.
-Yeah, right…
-Yes.
-…it's always possible.
-[Marga] Yes.
Besides, you can handle this
and much more, right?
-Yes.
-[chuckles]
-[Marga chuckles]
-My phone.
-Oh, yeah. Uh, here's your phone.
-Marie Antoinette. Yeah.
-Thanks. Yes. Uh…
-Okay.
-[camera shutter clicks]
-[somber ambient music playing]
Just put him on anesthesia already.
What's the problem? Let him wait.
I'll be there in half an hour.
No, I won't take long.
I promise I won't be late.
What's up? What's up?
-Hi.
-Where were you?
So, did we agree to meet today?
-No, no…
-Ah.
…no, we didn't, but I think we need…
we need to talk, don't you think?
-Talk? Uh…
-Yes, talk.
Well, no. Or… or yes?
Look, Silvana, I know,
how things are with your family,
and no hard feelings, okay?
Although I won't lie, it did bother me
to see you with your family,
but hey, look,
you don't owe me any explanations.
-I get the situation. It's just--
-No, no, look, Martín, just a sec.
I think you are the one
who owes me an explanation.
What were you doing with the neighbor?
I mean, you know perfectly well
that I risk everything to come
and see you.
-Wait, what? Hold on, Silvana…
-Are… are… are we on the same page here?
Am I the one who needs to explain myself?
You do realize that jealousy is for people
who don't cheat on their husbands, right?
-That makes sense to you, right?
-Yes. Okay…
-So? Look--
-…I told you already.
It's… It's really complicated.
I will sort it out, but I prom--
-I'm only seeing you, okay?
-[Martín sighs]
I need you to know that.
Please, don't leave me.
I'll sort this out,
please don't push me away.
Look, Silvana, Silvana, Silvana,
listen to me.
I have absolutely nothing
to do with the neighbor.
-I don't-
-That's not true. I saw you, asshole,
-with the neighbor.
-No. No. We were only there to buy--
-[Paty] Exactly, that's why.
-[Trini] It's very late, Paty.
Come on, I can't be late to this.
-Okay, take care…
-Keep me posted.
…give my regards to the priest.
-[Paty] Yeah, I'll tell him.
-I mean… [sighs deeply]
I leave patients
who are about to lose a leg,
-anesthetized, and they--
-Well, but it's just--
-[Marga] Good evening.
-[Martín] Uh… Good evening.
-[Pablo] Good evening.
-Good…
-Uh, good evening.
-Really. [breathes heavily]
Dinner, I'll have dinner at your place.
Of course.
Invite me in. I accept.
Oh, look. Good evening. [chuckles]
-Thanks. So nice. So nice.
-[Martín] Okay, uh, all right.
-Wow! So beautiful.
-[sighs]
LET'S END THEFT OF DELIVERIES!!!
IF YOU KNOW WHO'S STEALING,
REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.
[sighs]
-Are things getting stolen around here?
-Uh…
[soft music playing]
Please. Go ahead.
-[Pablo] No, thanks.
-Please. Yeah.
It's like something out
of a haunted house, right? [chuckles]
[chuckles] A bit, yeah.
[Pablo] It smells kind of musty,
doesn't it?
[Marga] Hmm, that's how it smells.
It's-- No, but I…
I don't think it's mold, though.
-[chuckles]
-[Pablo] Hmm.
[sighs]
-Come in. [chuckles]
-[Pablo]Thanks.
-[clicks tongue, sighs]
-Can you let me out?
What? Didn't you want to have dinner here?
No, no, I didn't want to make a scene
down there.
Look, hey… [inhales] …hey,
since you're here, I think…
well, I've been thinking things over,
and we should reconsider, you know,
what we have.
-I feel we should break up. Yeah.
-[gaps] No, no,
listen to me, no, that's impossible.
You and I love each other.
Look, it won't change anything.
You and I are perfect, right?
Shall we? Let's go.
Let's go. [groans]
[Marga] Are you sure
you don't want any help?
-[chuckles]
-No.
Just relax. Let me take care of you.
[laughs] You haven't let me lift a finger.
-Do you want to help?
-Mm-hmm.
Put some music on.
-Okay.
-Thanks.
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter over loud speaker]
[mellow jazz music playing]
A glance across the street… ♪
-Spectacular.
-Well, I agree, the view is spectacular.
-[chuckles]
-[Pablo laughing]
[Marga laughing]
[laughs] So funny, right?
[sighs] So funny.
-[Marga laughing]
-[Pablo laughing]
It was epic.
All the cousins jumped off
Grandpa’s yacht at the same time.
-We were totally wasted on champagne.
-[laughs]
[laughing] Oh, wow. How many cousins?
-[Pablo] Thirty-six. [chuckles]
-Mm, wow.
Someday I'll take you sailing
on the Sea of Cortez.
[Marga] Oh, yes, I'd love that.
But for now, would you like to sail
over to the couch?
Mm. Okay.
-[Pablo] Okay. What do you think?
-Shall we? [chuckles]
-Please. Be my guest.
-[sighs]
-[soft jazz music playing]
-[thudding]
[breathes deeply]
[chuckles softly, sighs]
-[sighs, chuckles softly]
-[chuckles softly, inhales]
You're gorgeous.
-Hmm?
-I'm totally into you.
[kisses]
-[mumbles indistinctly, kisses]
-[dog barking]
-Jazz?
-[Marga] Mm-hmm. Mm.
[inhales, kisses]
[kisses]
[energetic opera music playing,
"Simplemente Amigos" Ana Gabriel]
[kisses]
-[sighs]
-[chuckles] Did I do something wrong?
[breathes softly] No, sorry, it's just,
I got a bit distracted, but…
[chuckles]
…but no, on the contrary,
it's like you're--
Did you practice or something?
-It flowed better, didn't it?
-[chuckles] Well, yeah.
-[chuckles, inhales]
-[Marga laughs]
Shall we practice a bit more?
[breathes softly, kisses]
I would give everything ♪
To shout about our love ♪
[kisses]
-[sighs softly]
-[chuckles]
-Everything okay?
-[sighs deeply]
Oh, it's… it's just… I don't know,
there's just… there's just so much noise
from the neighbors,
and I'm feeling… [inhales]
…a bit overwhelmed and tired.
-Hey, you don't need to apologize.
-What?
I totally understand. No is no.
No big deal.
Really?
Well, yeah, nothing's more sensual
than consensual.
-Okay.
-Do you want to do something else?
No, I'm so sorry.
-Why?
-I mean, I had a great dinner.
I'd love to see you again. I don't know--
What… what do you think,
if… if I come over to your place…
-Of course.
-…one of these days?
-Okay.
-Deal?
-Deal.
-Thanks.
-Thanks.

-[chuckles, kisses]
between us two ♪
If we fake a goodbye
When night arrives? ♪
I would give everything
To shout about our love ♪
To tell them that when ♪
And what are you…
Nothing much, [sighs] uh, just here.
[chuckles]
Want one? I mean, not to brag,
but I make really good ones.
Cheers, neighbor. Thanks for saying yes.
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles softly]
[gulps]
-Hey, I…
-Mm?
[Lauro vocalizing] You're leaving
because I'm letting you leave ♪
[Martín] Wow, it's Lauro.
And whenever I want ♪
"You're leaving
because I'm letting you leave.
"And whenever I want, I can stop you."
[chews] That sucks, right?
No wonder our love lives are a mess
with songs like that growing up.
I mean, seriously, right?
Cause whether you want it or not ♪
I own you ♪
"Whether you want it or not, I own you."
I'm telling you, it sounds like they wrote
that song for a dog.
Seriously, Marga,
not a single day goes by
that I'm not amazed
by how romantic you are.
-[Martín] Mm?
-[inhales, sips]
[Martín chuckles]
I want you to be kissed by other lips ♪
Did someone hurt you?
[chuckles] I mean, the only damage
I received today
was blasting that song Simplemente Amigos
at full volume…
-[Martín] I see.
-…and that totally wrecked my date.
-I didn't mean that kind of damage.
-Mm.
[clicks tongue, inhales deeply]
It must have been really tough
going through what you did, and…
-Mm.
-…and still standing strong, and… and wow…
I now get why you go through life
wearing that mask of cynicism.
-What are you talking about, Martín?
-Yeah, that…
I mean, I don't know,
what I'd have done, honestly.
If the same thing had happened to me,
if I'd been left at the altar.
-Honestly, I don't know what…
-If what?
…what I'd have done. Yeah.
Wait, did you go through my trash?
-No! No, no! I mean… [inhales]
-[Marga] And you drew those conclusions?
I… [exhales] …was taking out
my trash and, yes…
-[Marga] Uh-huh.
-…I found your stuff and saw what I saw.
-Uh, but I get it, Marga. Honestly…
-Uh-huh.
No, no, you don't get it,
you don't get shit!
Nobody stood me up anywhere.
I was the one who decided to throw
everything away, okay?
What… what… what do you think?
What did you want? To pity me?
No, just to understand you, that's all.
I didn't… [speaks indistinctly]
"Oh, poor thing, left high and dry."
Our relationship had been
falling apart for a long time,
and the guy didn't even notice.
And just days before the wedding,
I realized we were making a huge mistake,
and decided to call everything off.
[inhales] Do you have any idea
what it feels like to let everyone down,
disappoint them, with their expectations
crashing through the floor?
Huh? My parents, the in-laws,
the friends, him.
[inhales] And end up looking
like some lunatic.
And still, I had the guts to do it,
and I swear that I'm really happy
and don't regret a thing…
[inhales] And that's it.
You know my secret now.
[over PA] Earthquake alert.
This is not a drill. Earthquake alert.
-C'mon, let's go! C'mon!
-What the fuck?
-What should we do?
-[Martín] Yeah, yeah. Let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
[Jaime] Neighbors, the earthquake alarm
is going off!
-We have to evacuate the building!
-[indistinct shouting]
-I don't understand. What's going on?
-The child! The child! Hurry up!
-[mutters indistinctly] Let's go, guys.
-Oh!
-Move it!
-Go, go! Calm down, please! Take it easy!
[indistinct chatter, indistinct shouting]
[speaks indistinctly]
[over PA] Earthquake alert.
This is not a drill. Earthquake alert.
Is it still moving? Or is it me? Is it me?
I don't understand
why they're freaking out.
[Jaime] Let's go inside, please,
it's fine!
-They freak out and…
-We're all okay, right?
You know the drill, no running,
no pushing, no shouting.
Come closer now, please. Since we're all
gathered here… Please, come over here now.
-Are you okay?
-[Jaime] Yeah, everything's fine.
-Okay?
-[Jaime] All good, Martín my boy.
Oh, I don't want any of that.
Since we're all here right now,
I wanted to inform you all that we've had
three packages stolen this week.
I had a package of wings stolen
from me yesterday.
-[neighbor 5] Wings?
-Yeah.
-Seriously?
-Okay, correction, four packages.
Please, share any information you have,
neighbors. Please, okay?
And whi… while we're at it, has anyone
else had their gas bill skyrocket?
-Because ours doubled.
-[indistinct chatter]
Dude, no, those are the damn leaks.
Hey, Jaime, what happened
to the money we raised for that?
-Uh-huh.
-So, did you fix the pipes or what?
What happened?
Well, we're getting quotes
from different companies.
All I can tell you is that we'll need
to raise the maintenance fees.
[indistinct chatter]
No… [speaks indistinctly] …come on,
really?
[speaks indistinctly]
Hey, hey! I…
I feel like I have a solution for this.
If you'll all agree to let me use
the lounge for my events,
we could make some money to pay
for these kinds of things.
All right, all right. Since we're already
holding an emergency meeting,
I need to mention that the internet
has been failing a lot,
especially at night. Right? Am I wrong?
Well, buddy, but you can work
in your room.
You know I don't like working
where I sleep, okay?
They don't give a damn,
they didn't even listen to me.
-[neighbor 5] Well, and the cable TV…
-No, just relax.
…it keeps cutting out all the time.
Oh, I'm so worried. I won't be able
to catch the finale of Esmeralda.
-I missed the finale of the last episode.
-Ooh, it was so good.
Esmeralda found out she was abandoned
as a child. Shocking.
Did you watch it alone?
-[Jaime] Hold on, hold on. If I may…
-Are they fighting?
-They always do.
-…I need to propose something.
Okay, Martín should host a watch party
for the last episode before it airs.
-Seriously?
-Oh, please.
Because he has the full episode
at his home.
-Yes.
-[neighbor 2] Oh, please, Martín.
[neighbors chanting] We want the finale!
We want the finale! We want the finale!
We want the finale! We want the finale!
I'll get myself in trouble, but I believe,
I can fix one of your problems.
Mine? How?
Yes. I only ask one thing in return. Uh,
come with me to see my uncle. That's it.
[neighbors chanting] We want the finale!
We want the finale!
All right? We have a deal?
The lounge in exchange for them
watching the soap opera.
-O… Okay.
-[Martín] Deal.
-[Lauro] So?
-Yes. Yeah, yeah.
[Jaime] He said yes!
