Dudes (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
I know how you get when you get hungry.
So
I rather feed the beast.
[grunts]
Shut up.
Oh, my god!
Sushi with plantains. Really?
Yes. You won't find
this delicacy anywhere else.
Maybe, that's what the little spot
on St. John Street is missing.
I love that place.
Yeah, me too.
May we should go back both of us.
They didn't give us chopsticks
and I don't have any.
No chopsticks.
So fork? Or hand?
[music]
DUDES
AGE AND IMMATURITY
[laughing]
Tell me the truth.
The truth.
Why did you ditch me like that
if you weren't looking
for an open relationship?
You know my mom.
She's
She's?
She
She wasn't
okay with the idea of me
Marrying a
Latina.
I was already having a bad day.
And now you're telling me
your mom was being a racist against me?
- Really?
- Damn!
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you the truth.
Damn!
Damn! Okay.
I
I got kind of turned off
about the whole marriage thing
and
honestly, I didn't think
your family was happy either
with you marrying a black guy.
Oh, thank you! How thoughtful of you!
[grunts]
This is too much for me, really.
I need another drink and a joint.
[music]
What? Who am I not giving a chance?
Well, apart from
all of your mom's boyfriends,
all the women that you go out with.
Juli, I don't know
a single woman you've dated
that you can't find something
wrong with
including Antonia.
The first one, and you gave up.
Let's see, Antonia is different.
Antonia lied to me, so no.
No, if it's not because she lied to you,
it's because she's too intense,
or too simple or too complicated.
Antonia is a hell of a woman, Juli.
And because of your immature excuses,
you fled the scene, like an adolescent.
Yeah, sure.
Want a beer?
What?
What?
What would your mommy say
if she knew you flew all the way here
and kissed the little Latina?
My mom doesn't even know I'm here.
[seductive music]
My lawyer is going to send
you the divorce papers.
I need you to get out of this house today.
My love
where do you want me to go?
Go wherever you want.
For the first time in your life
use this one instead of that one.
MIRANDA, THE ENTREPRENEUR,
THE VISIONARY AND THE PREDATOR?
Did you sleep with him?
Antonia! Ah!
You know what?
You're already a grown woman,
and you have to live
with your own decisions.
I don't understand
what he did to convince you.
Well, Marci,
the truth is the alcohol convinced me.
I got drunk!
And it's all good.
Look
I don't understand you
really.
So, listen, tell me something
was this just casual sex? Or
Or are you thinking
about giving him another chance?
I don't know, I mean, all I know is
besides the abrupt
break up which was awful
he's always been a good boyfriend.
What?
Just do this.
Bowl therapy. Bowl therapy in Costa Rica.
Bowls in Costa Rica.
- Hello, my beautiful bro!
- Hey, Dad.
So, we don't hug anymore, brother?
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Good.
- You forget about my trip?
No, no, no, not at all. You're going
for bowl therapy in Costa Rica, right?
Look at you. You've learned to listen.
- You see?
- But you forgot the date.
- Pau, I'd like you meet Andrea.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Andrea. How are you?
- Paula, fine.
Oh, you look lovely.
- That dress
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- It's like very new age.
Do you know what surprises me?
That now older women
are dressing like this, all modern.
I say this because my mom
loves to dress like this.
- That's nice, your mother.
- You look lovely.
Well, kids, I gotta go
because I have a busy day.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Come over here.
- See how you had to experience more?
- Yeah.
Yeah, you woke up today like
ten years more handsome.
Bye!
Okay, what should I call you now?
- "Ricaprio."
- Oh, no.
Yes, you're getting younger by the minute.
My love, I'm leaving. Behave. Be good.
- Don't be eating cereal all day
- Yes, ma'am.
No packaged food.
And watch the gluten.
He has a reaction to gluten, you hear?
We eat well here, don't worry.
I do worry.
- Okay, have a good trip.
- Bye, be good.
Bye.
Hey, Mafe, I can't go to work today.
I'm a Dad today. I forgot.
Call me if you need me, okay? A kiss.
Well, what is it, bro? Cereal or what?
I'll get the cereal.
Look, Mario, I know perfectly well
that you're incapable
of sexual harassment,
but we're talking about
an extremely sensitive issue.
In my experience I can tell you
that for every baseless case like this
there are twenty, I don't know,
thirty that are real and very serious,
and that goes against you.
You could be categorized as
I don't know,
as the typical dirty old man
of back-in-the-day, a powerful millionaire
who uses his social position
to sleep with young girls
to take advantage.
But, Jorge, that's not the case.
I know.
But the abuse of power
is a matter of perspective.
What we're going to do is the following.
For now, don't contact them.
That would be a double-edged sword for us.
What you should do
is hire a public relations team
to handle this whole scandal
that has come up.
I'm pretty sure they're going
to tell you to ask for forgiveness.
Just quit your position.
Enjoy your retirement.
Don't start fighting with those people
because what you're going to do
is attract all the attention.
And believe me, that
you have a lot to lose.
No.
I'm not going to let Ximena
and those reporters
damage my reputation just like that.
Okay, understood.
Since you're willing to go to battle,
the first thing we're going to do
is the following.
We're going to threaten them.
We're going to tell them that we're going
to file a countersuit sue for defamation.
That's perfect.
If this doesn't work,
we go to trial.
[laughs]
Very well.
So did you talk to Victoria?
No, not yet.
Let's grab a quick bite to eat, please.
I can't, I told you I have a meeting.
Give me your phone.
You're going straight to the hotel, right?
If you say so. You know what?
I'm gonna get a taxi.
No way.
Okay, you're all set.
I'll be here in five minutes.
Okay.
So, I guess I'll see you later.
Yes.
Bye.
So, have you decided
what you're going to study?
Because it's about time, right?
Dad, please record a video for me, okay?
- To record you?
- Yeah, hold this for me. Thanks.
- What are you going to do?
- Let me know. Now?
Yeah, yeah, go.
Oh, you gotta be kidding.
[phone notification]
Oh, Dad! Seriously,
it's not that difficult for you
to record a video for me.
Give me a second, give me a second.
MIRANDA, THE ENTREPRENEUR,
THE VISIONARY AND THE PREDATOR?
Son of a bitch.
Did you know that in nature
there is prodigality of transsexual
and bisexual behaviors?
That there are species that
have the ability to change their sex?
Oh! Yeah, the clownfish,
for example, right?
Are you related to Mario Miranda?
He's my father. Do you know him?
MIRANDA, THE ENTREPRENEUR,
THE VISIONARY AND THE PREDATOR?
Why is the media like this?
Like how? Sensationalist?
So you think that isn't true?
That your father is the victim here,
because she probably came on to him?
Sorry, I'm not saying any of that.
I'm just saying that there's
a possibility of another truth.
This is one side of the story.
This meeting ends here.
Because I'm not at all interested
in working with people who are blind.
Now for the first time we agree.
Yes, this meeting is over.
And not because I'm blind,
but because of your inability
and your tendency to see only
the bad of what's in front of you.
Man and, or woman.
Excuse me.
Wait for me here if you want,
I'm going to take care of something.
[Ricardo] You have a beautiful view
of the city there,
in case you want
to record one of your videos.
Let's see over thirty?
Again? But, no, you can't say it.
You're always telling him!
Guys, hey, we have a problem.
No, that kid's your problem
[laughing]
No, this is serious, you idiot.
Look at what they sent me.
- But show us, let me see, gimme.
- Show us, what happened?
What happened?
Former Miranda Holdings' employee
accuses Mario Miranda
of sexual harassment.
Matriarcado dot co?
- What the hell is that?
- Matriarcado dot co?
No, he's in deep water now.
Listen, could this affect
the investment round?
No way, bro. Why would it affect
the investment round?
Now it turns out
that they write an article
because a man paid a woman a compliment?
- No, that's just wrong.
- But no
One would think that a guy of his stature
would know better than to mess
with a woman at work, but
Oh, my dear friends.
Unfortunately, you guys always end up
thinking first with the small head.
And it's not the same thing
to age than to mature
Speaking of small heads
Come on, come on,
not right now, not right now.
Let's review that
Miranda Holdings' contract.
Let's go to the conference room.
Come on, come on.
Are we really going to hold
a meeting for matriarcado dot co?
Let's go, let's go. Come on, come on.
What? Come on, let's go. Let's go.
Well, let's go.
We need to review that
Listen, guys, I would think
that in a matter of days or hours
that whole thing goes public.
Because the traditional media
are no longer silent when it comes that,
because they'll turn against them.
I would think that a round
led by Miranda, Julian
would close many doors.
If you ask me,
I would think it's better to postpone.
No, no, no. Richi, Richi
what do you mean postpone? Listen
if we postpone
the only doors we'll be closing
are Billuka's doors.
Besides, all of us know better than
to believe all the crap that they write.
No, we hold on tight
and move forward, period!
Or what?
No, no, no, I don't know.
Let Julian decide.
We'll have the lawyers take
a really close look at the contract.
Well, they're already doing that.
However, they told me
that there's definitely
a clause that can save us
from something like this.
You know that I don't get
involved too much in these things,
but Ricardo's right.
The truth is, beyond the contract,
to move forward with Miranda
would be to condone that kind of behavior.
To condone.
[music]
Mom
[coughing]
It's not what you think.
No, no, no, of course.
This is just that you're burning
imported eucalyptus.
[laughing]
Hello.
This is Mar she's Mar, Martha?
Martha. Eugenia, Martha, yes, from school.
We haven't seen each other since!
Ever since the nuns
Those mean witches
made us sew some cushions.
No, they weren't that mean.
No, they weren't.
[coughing]
Well, let's celebrate.
- Celebrate what?
- Celebrate freedom.
Freedom and how beautiful
it is to be alone.
Especially, now that it'll only be
my snoring and my farts.
[laughing]
Well, what if we start
without anyone leading?
No, no, no, that's a very big risk,
because usually in a B series
you have to start
with a venture capitalist,
or some big name.
So, no.
Ricardo, would your girl know anyone?
Because she seems
to have really good connections.
No, I don't really think so.
Besides, we broke up.
But I don't want to talk about it now
with my son out there, please.
Well, I can think of someone.
But I'm sure that Julian
isn't going to like it.
What?
What are you talking about?
Hey, take it easy. Look, a few days ago
I ran into Lina.
No, you've got to be kidding me.
- No, no, no, no.
- Will you let me talk?
The chick's involved
in the whole corporate PR world.
Most of her clients
are Brazilian multinationals,
and we all know that
they're the ones with the money.
So, who's Lina?
Julian's ex from college.
And she asked me about you.
And guess what? She's hot, hot, hot.
Brother, what are you doing here?
Bye. Kisses.
Really. You've got to be kidding,
you can't be serious.
I'm not going to call Lina, you're crazy.
Oh, but to get involved with a woman
who could mess up the investment,
boom! head first.
But to get involved
with one that can save us,
you have principles all of a sudden.
Daniel, look,
I'm not going to argue with you.
If you come up with something,
we'll do another meeting.
As for Lina, I'm not calling her, no way.
- Fine.
- Hey, take it easy.
It's a very good idea!
Do you want her number?
Julian, Julian, Julian, hey!
What? Mafe? What?
How do you think Antonia's doing?
- I don't want to talk about that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't come to me with that.
I know you haven't
stopped thinking about her.
But if you don't want
to talk about it, that's fine.
But if you still have feelings for her,
this is the time to make it known, Juli.
[music]
[phone ringing]
- Hello.
- Hello?
How are you?
Fine. I don't know.
What a stupid question.
Yeah, listen,
I was calling you because I know
you're going through
an awkward situation, and
and well,
I'm here if you want to talk to me,
or if you need me, if you want to vent.
Thank you.
Everything's going to be fine, okay?
Thank you, really.
It was nice of you to call.
[Julian] Antonia, uh
I want to apologize to you
for that jealousy fit I threw, I'm sorry.
I'm in no position to tell you what to do.
Oh, Julian, yeah,
I also overreacted that day.
I'm sorry. I also want to apologize.
[Antonia] And the truth is that
well, that the issue with my ex is
complicated.
He showed up
all of a sudden,
and well, anyway,
I had no reason to lie to you,
and I'm really very sorry.
Well, I'm here for you, okay?
If you want to talk,
if you want us to have coffee,
if you want to vent
I'm here to lend an ear.
Okay, see you soon.
And thank you for calling.
[Julian] Bye.
[romantic music]
[phone notification]
DANIEL:
HERE'S LINA'S CONTACT INFORMATION
Look, I'm not going to call Lina,
let alone to get contacts from her,
you're crazy.
[phone notification]
[Daniel] Don't be an idiot, call her.
And, I was joking about
getting involved with her, okay?
Don't get mad
or get your panties in a bunch.
Because you know that's the only one
who can get us out of this mess we're in.
[phone notification]
[moaning]
[Daniel] Besides, Lina was the one
who said she had an event,
and asked if we could go.
So, we have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
So go you, idiot.
I would be happy to go,
but since she is actually your friend.
"Oh, I'm Lina, Juli."
[laughs]
Come on, weren't you the one who said
that we had to take advantage
of any opportunity to network?
Get dressed up, all decked out,
be the Julian you know how to be,
and go, you've nothing to lose.
If nothing happens, then that's it.
But you tried.
Or what is it you want?
You want to send everything to hell?
Should we give up?
[music]
So, it seems like your bill
has already been paid
by a woman called
Miranda Holdings?
So, you just need to sign here,
and you're all set.
Andrew, what's going on?
I can explain.
I wanted to tell you, but your dad
asked me not to say anything.
Tell me what?
Speak!
He
he was worried about you.
Because the new job, the guy you met.
The guy? What guy?
The FINTECH guy.
He asked me if I still love you.
And I said "yes, I do."
So he told me to come down here.
Okay, hold on.
So, you're here because my dad
told you to come?
I see that you're nothing
but a momma's boy.
You can't even think
or decide anything on your own!
Listen
I'm glad
this happened before I actually
even decided to give this another chance.
- Babe, I love you.
- Call yourself a taxi.
- Would you like a drink?
- Okay, thank you.
Juli?
Lina. What's up?
- I haven't seen you in such a long time.
- Yeah, yeah.
Would you mind giving me two minutes?
I'll finish up with some clients
and come back.
Oh, no, no, if you're busy,
we can meet another day.
No, no, no, no.
I told my boss
you were a potential client.
Oh, okay, good.
It's great to see you, I mean it.
[Miranda] My love
nothing of what
those ladies wrote is the truth.
I'm listening.
Well
finally someone decides to listen to me.
[sighs]
Look, sweetie
your mother and I had a deal.
I think you know what it is.
And well, this woman
showed up and she wanted
something more from me,
and since I didn't
You got stuck in the nineties, Dad.
When it was normal for a president
to be his secretary's lover.
Today a compliment is inappropriate.
Any physical contact with someone
at work is harassment!
And that "sit quietly and look pretty",
that's no more.
I know I made a mistake, but
Look, all I care about is that
your mother and you forgive me.
You have to stop thinking only about
yourself for the first time in your life.
Because neither my mom nor I
are your shadow.
We don't have to live under your rules.
My mom doesn't have to live
under your conditions,
or what's more comfortable for you.
She has every right
and every reason in the world
to be tired of living like this!
Daniel hasn't changed one bit!
The last time I saw him
he tried hitting on me!
That's him alright.
But anyway, I understand that.
Now, explain to me
how Santiago found someone
that puts up with him?
- What do you mean he got married?
- He got married.
They're just like they were in college.
Just like you, I imagine
allergic to commitment.
Oh, me allergic? No, not me.
Oh, come on!
I remember when I asked
you to be more than friends.
"Lina, you and I can't do that
right now, because we can't."
Oh, I just had it really hard, Lina.
That's all it was, I had to work.
And it was like "A girlfriend, when? How?"
I always liked that about you, you know?
I knew that you would achieve
great things and look, I wasn't wrong.
[sighs]
Yeah.
The only one, right?
With no family dividends.
But the cutest one too, and you still are.
- Cheers!
- Thanks for the compliment.
Do you want dessert?
So, why
did you ask Andrew to come?
I think he's a better catch.
Than who? Than Julian Quintana?
Listen, sweetie
you might not understand it
right now, but believe me
I'm saving you from a headache.
No, no, no. I think that
the one who isn't understanding
anything here is you, Dad.
You are in the eye of the hurricane
precisely for sticking
where you shouldn't have.
- Antonia!
- Yeah, it's true.
You think that we're from
the Mexico-Bogota aristocracy,
and you swear that we're delightful
but we're just a bunch
of mediocre Latinos.
What do you mean "mediocre Latinos"?
Latinos, South Americans,
third-world citizens.
And that's what Andrew's mom
thinks of all of us.
About you, about me!
Do you still think he's the best catch?
- I just knew those third-world citi
- No, don't you even dare, please.
Because the last thing we need
right now is a scandal for being racist.
That's enough.
We have enough with your wonderful
hashtag metoomariomiranda.
Tomas?
Yes, nice to meet you.
I hope I'm not too blunt, but
you're nothing like your picture.
I mean you're prettier in person.
- Pardon my clumsiness.
- Thank you.
The show's about to start. After you.
Oh, quite the gentleman, just what I like.
Thank you.
Could it be that what
Colombian women say is true?
That the man who goes
to bed with a younger woman
[romantic music]
[sighs]
Come in.
It's really nice!
- Yeah, you like it?
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Do you want to have a drink,
eat something?
- You good?
- No yeah.
We need to talk, right?
Hold on, hold on.
Let's talk for a while.
About the Brazilian funds.
I'm going to help you
and you'll pay me a commission.
All that's left to do is to organize
the tickets to the summit.
What summit?
- Daniel didn't tell you?
- No.
In Sao Paulo.
Daniel is something else.
Wait, come on, hold on.
It's just
Well, I don't want to, like
I don't want to
Oh, you don't want to?
Or are you going out with someone?
[music]
Wait, hold on.
Wait
Lina, wait.
Wait, no, no.
