The Baker and the Beauty (2020) s01e05 Episode Script
Honeymoon's Over
1
- Previously on "The Baker
and the Beauty"
- Ready.
- You have to tell us
how you make
something simple
taste so good.
- You should have a show
about food or something.
The camera loves you.
- Speaking of.
- Daniel, you have no idea.
The press smell blood.
They're gonna start circling.
Fame is hard
on a relationship.
- I have a film
starting production next week,
and you'd be perfect for it.
- There's another group
of sharks we have to deal with.
My family--they keep asking
to meet you.
- Hi, I'm Noa.
Smells delicious.
Would you ever think
of opening a restaurant?
- The place next door
would be a great café.
- Maybe when Daniel takes over.
I don't want Daniel
to lose sight of who he is.
- I care about your son.
- I'm gay.
- You're too young to know
anything about being gay.
- This is who I am.
- Family dinner?
You invited her
to family dinner?
- Oh!
- Find yourself a new manager.
- What is it
with this girl and soup?
- Hey, are you
gonna see her later?
- Is that a special delivery
for Noa?
- No,
it's just a regular delivery.
You guys should try
our pastelitos.
They're delicious.
- So this is what
rich people Christmas is like.
Yo, I got dibs on these.
- Dude, you're calling dibs
on everything.
- What is all this stuff?
I was only gone 30 minutes.
Happy being Noa Hamilton's
boyfriend day.
- Guys, we can't keep this.
- Daniel, they want you
to have this stuff, okay?
You put these on,
get a photo in a magazine,
boom, that's free advertising.
- Have Mom and Dad
seen any of this?
- Yeah, they have.
- Oh!
- Oyeme, chica.
- Ay, Rafael,
live a little, Papi.
Put on a mask and get rid
of those frown lines.
- Okay, I had nothing
to do with this.
- There may not be a bill,
Daniel,
but there's always a price.
- Yep.
When does it end?
- On behalf of Dade Motors,
we'd love to know
what you think of the car.
- Okay,
now can I have the sneakers?
- Uh, I'm sure Noa would love
to go for a ride.
- This is insanity, okay?
- Daniel, grab the keys.
Daniel, just reach your hand
and wrap your finger--
Daniel, take the keys!
- So what do you think?
- So far, life
in the public eye--
not so bad.
Vanessa, I came to apologize.
- I am so over you guys.
- Okay, you know what?
- Let me get--
- That's okay,
but let me explain.
- Give me the gift.
- No, you gotta let me explain.
- Okay.
Explain.
- Yeah? Cool.
Look
I lied to you about being sick
because I wanted
to meet Noa Hamilton.
I don't know.
It's just
I thought maybe
she'd help make me famous.
- Famous, Mateo?
- But then you came in
and you said what you did
And how we just let Noa
have dinner at our house
like nothing,
like no problem, it hit me.
You were right.
You've done so much for me.
I think you and I
can really be a good team.
And you're so good
at convincing people
to give me a chance,
and I am so,
so not good at that.
- Yeah, you're not.
- Right?
- You're so bad at it
that I'm surprised
people even listen to you.
I mean
- Yes.
- It's painful to watch, Mateo.
- Okay.
- Like, you might have
a disorder.
Like, do you ever hear
yourself talking?
It's like the--
- I need you
To manage me.
I need you.
- One lie
one lie, Mateo,
and I will never speak
to you again.
I'm serious.
- Vanessa, thank you.
- Don't thank me.
Go write some new material.
We can't dine out
on "Calle Ocho Guy"
forever, right?
- You gonna be so
glad that you witnessed ♪
The slickest
in this business ♪
No stress
A-plus
on the swagger ♪
Testosterone, if you-- ♪
- Leave.
- Okay.
- A café.
- No way.
- With a business loan,
we can do this.
This is our chance, Papi.
Revenue is up.
Thomas Gold called
your magnificos life changing.
It's time for us to expand.
- Do you know how much it would
cost to knock down the wall?
- Yes, I do.
- Better:
expand the kitchen.
Hire more help?
- Do you know?
Hmm?
Because I did the numbers.
They're right there.
We can do this, mi amor.
Think about it, Rafael.
Cooking--real cooking
like you used to do.
- Ay, Mari, por favor.
That was another place,
another life.
- So?
Let's do it now
in this place, in this life.
- I just worry that
That was a dream
of a younger man.
- Come on.
So what do you think?
- I think it's been
almost a week.
How long is this cold war
gonna last?
- I'm just trying to give her
her space, Rafael.
- You give her any more,
she'll be living
in another state, Mari.
- I don't know what
to say to her.
I'm scared I'm gonna say
the wrong thing.
- You're her mother.
Of course you're gonna say
the wrong thing.
And then you'll say
exactly what she needs to hear.
- I liked that.
- That was fun, right?
- I like that side of you.
- That was kind of cool.
- Who knew you were
such a speed demon, though?
- I've got moves
you haven't seen.
- Ugh, get a room.
- One I'm not in, please.
- Is he always waiting for you?
- No, only when he has messes
to clean up.
Like, I don't know,
joyriding in a free car?
Keys, please?
- She said it was okay.
- Oh, did she?
She should know better.
- You're such a buzzkill.
I'll be right back.
Be nice.
- I'm always nice.
Here's the deal.
You and Noa are a thing now.
And sure, there are perks,
but the one question
you have to ask yourself
before accepting any of them:
is this good for Noa?
So driving around
in a flashy car,
feeding this narrative
that you're
some gold-digging upstart
- I'm not.
- Isn't good for Noa.
- So what's up, Lewis?
I know you didn't come
for car keys.
- Well, one, tonight's gala.
Your dress is in the closet.
Daniel, your tux will be here
this afternoon.
- I have a tux?
- Yes.
You're not working the gala
this time, baker boy.
You're attending it with Noa.
Two, KKR&A upped their offer.
Here's the proposal.
- Offer for what?
- My company.
- Megacorporations
are always trying
to buy her out, and she
always says the same thing.
- No.
Okay,
so that's two out of three.
Did Birch Branch call back?
- Yep.
You two have a meeting
this afternoon.
- What are you guys
talking about?
- Okay, so, babe,
remember when I said
you were great on camera?
I sent your Piñones video
to a production company
that works
with the Food Channel,
and they want to have
a meeting with you
about a show.
- Wait, you serious?
- Is that a good face
or bad face?
- No, it's a great face.
I meanme on TV.
- Yeah, baby, you'll be great.
I'm gonna go try on that dress.
- Take the meeting.
She's not gonna date
a baker her whole life.
- Oh, absolutely.
This is actually one of
the best school districts
in the city.
Here's more info.
Oh, hi!
Welcome.
- Hey there.
- How can I help you?
- Um, well, I'm actually here
to help you.
I--okay, first thing
you should know
is that couple right there
and that guy right over there--
they're reporters
for gossip rags.
They're spying on you.
- What?
Why?
- Because you're
Daniel Garcia's ex-girlfriend,
#TheSoupThrower.
- #SoupThrower?
- Look, I'm a reporter too,
only unlike them,
I'm not here to catch you
in some big gotcha.
I just--
- Listen, just leave, okay?
Hi, welcome.
- I--
- Um, check out
the new countertops.
Gorgeous.
- Yeah, look, I'm sure
you don't want to hear this.
It's probably hard enough
to have to see
Daniel and Noa's face
everywhere you turn,
but you are
part of the story too.
- Okay, listen, I don't have
anything to say about them.
So you can leave.
- I respect that.
Sooner or later, someone's
gonna want to tell your side
whether you like it or not,
so
give me a call
if you decide
to have control
over your story.
It's just a business card.
Got it.
And from now on, hey,
just assume anyone you talk to
is just a less scrupulous me.
- No, Daniel Garcia
is not working today,
but I'm Rafael.
This is my bakery,
and I'm confident
I can help you
with anything that he--
How many of you are waiting
to buy something
from Daniel Garcia?
- Over here, yeah!
all: Yeah!
- Your brother's gonna be
the death of me.
Half the line are customers
just waiting to meet him.
- I know, right?
They should meet his cool,
better-looking brother.
- We have another brother?
- Low-hanging fruit.
That's what that was.
- Hey, Natalie, how 'bout
you and I go shopping today?
- Me?
- Yeah.
It's been a while
since we've had girl time.
Come on, let's go spend
some of Papi's money.
- But Daniel's off today.
- Go, go. Go with your mother.
Mateo and I will handle it.
Please, you two go.
Have a good time.
Spend my money.
- Sounds great.
- It's gonna be fun.
I'll go get the car.
I'll meet you out front.
- Yay.
- Bye.
- Dad, I got
a recording session
this afternoon.
I told you about it last week.
- You're gonna
have to cancel it.
I need you to work the counter
while I finish fixing the leak
in the storage closet.
- Great idea, except
I can't cancel
or else I'll lose the money.
- You have to.
Mom and Natalie left.
- Call them back.
- Mateo.
- What?
- You know how important it is
for them to--
- Go shopping?
- To reconnect.
I need you here.
End of story.
- So let me see if I get this.
Everybody else gets to do
whatever they want,
and I get stuck here
picking up the slack?
Is that what you're telling me?
Dad, I got a business thing
to go to.
It's important.
- I can't work the counter
and fix the leak,
and if I don't fix the leak,
that's a health code violation
that could shut us down.
Everyone in this family needs
to sacrifice
for each other
at some point or another,
and today
It's your turn.
Period.
- Lewis, what are you doing?
Should I be worried?
The only time you decide
to eat healthy
is when you're coming down
with something
or you're dating someone new
and you think
that you need to lose weight,
in which case,
let me tell you, you don't.
You look great.
- He's a nutritionist,
and they say kale
makes you horny, so
- We need to talk.
- Your serious voice.
- I heard from Charles Cooper.
The board wasn't exactly happy
that you turned down the KKR&A
offer without even asking them.
- It's my company.
- Yes, but you do have
a board of directors
who would like
to be kept in the loop.
- Fine, send them the proposal.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Then they can agree with me.
Now I need to go
to this meeting with Daniel.
I'm already late.
- Noa, really?
You don't need to be there.
Daniel's a big boy.
- Noa, hi.
It's Melanie Caan.
Hope I'm not catching you
at a bad time.
- Put it on speaker.
- Uh, no, not at all.
How are you?
- I'm good.
I just got back from Toronto.
I know this
is insanely short notice,
but I'm here
at my place in Miami.
I was hoping we could
get together to discuss
another project,
one without Colin Davis.
- Uh, yes, of course.
Anytime.
- Any chance you could swing by
my place in, say, an hour?
- Say yes.
- Uh, hang on one second.
Let me double check.
- Oh, my God.
Are you insane?
- What about Daniel?
- You are going
to see Melanie Caan
because this is your dream.
Daniel would agree.
- Melanie Caan!
That's great.
Well, let's reschedule this.
- No, no, no, don't be silly.
You don't need me.
Just go in there and wow them.
- Noa, I've never done anything
like this before.
- It's a general meeting.
They just want a feel
for who you are.
Listen,
you single-handedly saved
my entire benefit
in Puerto Rico,
and you made it magical.
You have a gift, okay?
Trust me.
I gotta go,
but break a leg, okay?
Bye.
- Bye.
- Daniel, are we still waiting
on Ms. Hamilton?
- Actually, it'll just be me.
- Okay then.
This way.
- I can tell
you're a serious buyer,
so I won't
beat around the bush.
New kitchen, new floors,
his and her closets
in the master bedroom.
- I like it.
But I was really looking
for his and his closets,
not that I want
to go back in the closet.
- His and his, of course.
That's exactly what I meant.
So do you want
to make an offer?
- Well, I think I would.
- Six, three
- You really don't know
who I am?
- Wait, please don't tell me
you're another one
of those reporters.
- I'm Noa Hamilton's manager.
- Even better.
Yet another person walking
in here and wasting my time.
- I'm not here
to waste your time.
I'm here to buy a house,
which will, coincidentally,
give you a nice, big,
fat, juicy commission.
You're asking 400k
for this place, right?
- Uh-huh.
- Hmm.
How about 450 cash
and we close today?
Huh?
And in return?
- Well, when we sit down
to sign the paperwork,
I just get you to sign an NDA.
- Wow.
- Look, correct me
if I'm wrong.
You're turning down interviews,
so I'm not asking you
to do anything
that you're not already doing.
I just think you should be
rewarded for your loyalty.
You took a big swing,
and it ended in a botched
proposal that went viral.
That was embarrassing.
And then Noa winds up
with Daniel
after you break up with him.
That sucks too.
So now what?
You can move on with your life
and get something out of this.
You're an industrious woman.
Probably take this seed money,
and, a decade from now,
you run an empire.
- Hmm.
- Trust me,
you never know
when life's
gonna throw you a curveball.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not for sale.
- Run it, skill ♪
Damn it.
- Run it ♪
- What about this one?
- I know you're really excited
about the idea
of throwing me
a quinceañera,
butI'm already 15.
- Ay, nobody's gonna care.
Mama, look at this one.
- Our bakery is known
for its meringues,
but does that mean
I have to look like one?
- Okay, you're right.
- Oh, Mom, look at this one.
- Ay, Natalie.
It's your quince, Mama,
not the Cuban version
of "Twilight."
- Okay, that's fair.
- Ooh.
- I love it.
- Ay, sí, Mama.
- Really, you like it?
- Mm-hmm, yes.
- It's not traditional.
- I don't care
if it's not traditional.
I only care that it
makes you happy.
And it doesn't make you
look like a vampire.
Wow.
Ay, tu abuela and I,
we had such a fun time
planning my quince.
Turned out to be one
of the best days of my life.
I just want that
for you too, mi amor.
For all of us.
- I'd really like that, Mom.
- Good.
Now let's see you
in this dress.
Come on, let's try it on.
- Well, Daniel,
let me start by saying,
big fans.
- Fans.
- We love what you shot
in Puerto Rico.
- The part where you and Noa
are eating the plantains.
- Yes! What are those
called again?
- The fried green ones
are called tostones,
but when they're ripe,
Cubans call them maduros.
Puerto Ricans
call them amarillos.
- That means yellow.
I did a semester in Barcelona.
- So pitch us your idea.
- Pitch?
- Your vision for a show.
- Right, um
- You made it!
- Hi.
- I'm so sorry
for the last-minute invite.
That must've sounded crazy.
- No, I'm so happy you called.
Hello.
That's a very pretty crown.
Is it your birthday?
Happy birthday.
- Seven years old.
- So cute.
Never thought I'd have a kid,
but it 's a great excuse
for pizza and cake.
Ah!
- The truth is,
food is one of our oldest forms
of communication.
So if you think about it,
there's a whole world
of chefs, cooks, food stands,
all telling unique stories
through the dishes
that they make.
It's a universal language.
- A universal language.
- I love that.
- I swear, the minute
parents hear you're having
a drop-off party,
they take full advantage.
Katie, do not feed
the dog cake!
Have a slice.
Make yourself at home.
I'll be right back.
- And I always knew I wanted
to do something
that combines food and culture
because I just love
talking to people,
meeting people.
- Clearly--so charming.
- Noa really put it all
together in San Juan.
She actually shot that video.
- Oh--well, that's why
she's Noa Hamilton.
She has the magic eye.
- Hey, what's going on here?
- He pushed me.
- I know.
I saw that.
Are you okay?
You hurt?
- No.
- Would you like some water?
- No.
- Shall we report him
to the tug of war association?
- Yeah!
- Wow, international superstar
Noa Hamilton
is also
a kid whisperer.
- Oh, and if Noa can drop in
- Yes.
- As a guest from time to time,
I think we have a hit show
on our hands.
- So you want me to adopt
an accent and get a motorcycle.
- Don't forget the tattoos.
- Yeah.
- And make sure
Noa's along for the ride.
- I'm in.
- Me too.
- I'm looking for someone
to play the part
of a young mother, which is why
I invited you here today,
to see how you act
around kids.
This film,
it's a passion project.
I've been trying
to get it made for years,
and I think you'd be perfect
for the lead.
- A lead.
- We're shooting
the entire thing
on location in Morocco.
It'll be challenging,
but I think it could
show the world
a Noa Hamilton
they've never seen before.
Like what "Monster" did
for Charlize.
- Wow.
- So, what do you say?
You up for spending
three months
in the middle of nowhere?
- Betsi,
you should've been there.
It was surreal.
- Tattoos and a motorcycle?
They really don't know you,
do they?
- I swear to God,
that's what they said.
- Well, you would look good.
Of course,
when I think about it,
I love the idea
of doing a show.
- Hmm.
- But it's like
they had zero interest
in the real me doing it.
- Well, that network
is a business.
They want a Daniel
they can sell,
a Daniel they can market
to the world.
Be yourself, Daniel.
Don't let them change
who you are.
- Betsi, I've come here
every day to eat your samosas
since I was a kid.
I have a proposition for you.
So break it down.
These samosas are filled
with spiced potatoes,
onions, coriander, and ginger?
- That is right.
- Samosas are like
the Indian cousin
of Cuban
papas rellenas.
- Right?
- How should I know?
Somebody never brings me any
from his family's bakery.
- Oh, snap. Okay, I will.
I promise.
I'm sorry.
Listen, folks, do you see this?
Do you see that?
Da Vinci's got nothing
on Betsi.
Look at that.
This is samosa art right here.
They're almost
too beautiful to eat.
Keyword: "almost,"
'cause you know as soon
as we stop filming,
I'm scarfing these down.
- Okay, so you sure
this is the one?
Because there are,
like, six quince shops
in Little Havana,
and I'm not scared
of taking a deep dive.
- I am.
- And I'm sure.
- Well, you look beautiful.
- Hola.
- Hola.
- We're gonna take this one.
- Oh, wonderful choice.
- Gracias.
- It's so nice
to see mothers and daughters
preserving tradition.
Last week, a girl came in here
wanting a quinceañera suit.
- Tell me something.
Are you Cuban?
You should go back to Cuba
because this is America,
and this is a free country,
and people are allowed
to be who they are,
so if this is the way
you talk about your customers,
we're gonna take
our business elsewhere.
Adiós.
Vámonos.
- All right, two cafecitos,
uno pastelito de guayaba,
y dos croquetas
de jamón, right?
All right, seven bucks even.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
- Who put this here?
That would be me,
your humble servant.
- We sell food.
We don't ask for charity.
- Well, I had to figure out
another way to make up
for the 300 bucks I lost
for canceling
the recording session.
- You lost $300?
We'll be right with you.
Throwing away money like that.
- I lost the money
because you forced me
to stay here and work.
- No, no, no, no,
I mean spending that much
just to play around
in some recording studio?
- Have you ever believed in me?
- Mateo.
- No, no, no,
because I'm not playing around.
I'm not throwing money away.
In fact,
I'm investing in myself.
Why do you think I'm
always listening to new mixes
and trying out new lyrics?
I haven't had a date in months
because all the money
that I'm making
goes straight into my music--
promo fliers,
SoundCloud account.
I'm actually getting
some traction too.
I'm making real
industry contacts
through the bar mitzvah gig.
They told me that they wanted
to hear a demo of mine.
So that's why I needed
to book a recording studio.
So it can sound professional
because that
is what musicians do.
You, out of all people
Don't tell me
I'm playing around.
Because I'm doing
exactly what you did.
I'm building
something of my own,
whether you
take it seriously or not.
- Mateo
- I just wanted to say
that was awesome.
I know I surprised you,
and I know you're
still getting used to it,
but it meant a lot to me,
the way you defended me.
Uh, I meant that
as a compliment.
- That's how it's gonna be,
Natalie.
You being judged by strangers.
Are you sure that's
what you really want?
- No.
But wanting
has nothing to do with it.
I don't get it.
You were so cool
about everything.
You're the best mom.
Why can't you just accept this?
- Because I can't protect you
for the rest of your life.
And what am I
if I can't protect you?
You're my baby.
You're my everything.
You think you know this world,
Mamita, but you really don't.
- Mateo!
Mateo!
- 'Sup?
I locked up out front.
Oh, my gosh, more work.
- That's right.
You gotta help me
finish this up
so you can get to using it.
I fixed the leak
in the storage area,
and I realized, maybe what
we need isn't a storage closet.
- Have you gone crazy?
- I read about soundproofing
on the internet.
I couldn't afford to build you
a fancy recording studio,
but I built you
the next best thing.
Test it.
Can you hear me, Mateo?
This is awesome.
- Listen, I know a lot of work
has been falling
on your shoulders lately,
and I'm sorry for that,
and I haven't been
very supportive of your music
.in the past, but I want to be.
We sacrificed,
coming to this country
to achieve our dreams,
but more importantly,
so you kids
could achieve yours.
- Thank you, Dad.
- You've reached
Daniel Garcia.
I can't come
to the phone right now.
Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you.
- Hey, Daniel, it's me again.
I know you have
that thing with Noa--
your first official
public appearance as a couple.
So your phone's probably off
right now,
but when you get these,
if you could just
give me a call back?
- Yo.
Vibe check.
How'd it go today with Mom?
- It was fine.
- It was fine?
I don't like that word.
- You seem to like it
when you're describing women.
- Only Maggie Smith.
What happened?
- For a minute,
I thought we were past it.
Then she started telling me how
terrible my life was gonna be.
The worst part is
I know she believes that.
She'll get there.
They do.
I mean, think about Dad.
How many years did he think
that my music was a joke?
- All of 'em.
- Well, today he built me
a recording studio.
- What?
- Yeah.
- We had this,
like, big blowout,
and I finally felt
like he heard me.
So he made the storage closet
into a DIY studio.
- He did?
- Pretty cool, right?
Point I'm trying to make
is he got there.
She will too.
- So Dad built you a closet
and Mom shoved me
back into mine.
- Hey.
- Get your shoes off my bed.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry
that the Food Channel people
turned out to be such idiots.
- Maybe they're right.
If I wanna be on TV, I need
a little more showbiz.
- Daniel Garcia, no.
- What?
- Please don't change on me.
- I'm not.
- You don't have to worry.
- Okay, good.
'Cause I like you
just the way you are.
- Ugh, straight people.
- Gucci, your timing sucks.
- No argument from me.
I am counting the days
for your honeymoon phase
to be over.
Your car's downstairs.
This arrived for you.
It's the new proposal
from KKR&A.
Whatever's living in there,
we don't have
the food to feed it.
- Okay, now they're
just being aggressive.
- Right?
- All right, we can send
that to the board.
- Good.
- With my no.
Can you please help me try on
some earrings?
- You know what I'm gonna say.
These, yes, always these.
But they're not as low.
- Lewis.
Did you go see Vanessa?
- Nuts.
- Did you try to bribe her?
- I heard people
were after her story,
so I went to talk to her.
It's my job.
- Do you understand
how insulting that is
to a woman like Vanessa?
It's already bad enough
that I broke her heart.
Now she thinks I'm trying
to buy her off.
- Welcome to reality,
baker boy!
Whether you like it or not,
anyone you hurt,
anyone with a grudge
against you is now my problem,
as if I needed
any more problems right now,
thank you very little.
- Lewis.
- Are you okay with this?
- I'm just hearing about this
for the first time, okay?
- Well, okay.
What do you think?
- I think I don't like
being put on the spot,
and I think I don't like
your look of judgment.
You broke up with her.
I'm just the one
they're gonna come after.
What do you think about that?
- I'll see you in the car.
- Wow.
- So you didn't find a dress.
- Mm-mm.
- But did you talk?
- We talked.
- And?
- And this is not easy.
Butwe'll get through it.
We always do.
How was your day?
- Interesting.
You know, with Daniel off
with you-know-who
- Mm-hmm.
- Natalie discovering
who she is,
and Mateo finally growing up
I realized life
is always changing.
That's how we know we're alive.
I called the bank.
- You did?
- You're right.
Twenty years, we've been
working just to make ends meet.
This is our chance
but I only have one condition.
- What?
- We call the café
Mari's.
Gracias--I'm so happy
you said that
because that was gonna be
one of my conditions too.
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
- I love you.
Gracias, Papi.
- All right, I love you, Mari.
- I don't wanna fight.
- I don't want to either.
- I can't.
- Look, your world
is just gonna take
a little getting used to.
- Okay.
And I was really thrown
by how you defended Vanessa.
And then how you looked at us.
Like Lewis and I
were horrible people.
- I don't think that.
But you have to understand,
we talk about
how I have to adjust.
Maybe you do too.
But in my family,
we're there for each other.
We argue,
we get mad at each other,
but we talk it out
just like how we're doing
so nothing festers.
- I like that.
I'm not used to that, you know?
I always have to be so careful.
- We are a team now.
Whatever we face,
we face together.
All right?
- All right.
- Okay,
so if that's the case
Have you ever wanted
to go to Morocco?
- That's such a random thought.
- Well, it isn't
because Melanie Caan
offered me the lead role
in her new film.
- What?
That's amazing.
- I know.
It shoots in Morocco
for three months,
and I really want you
to come with me.
- Wow, three months in Morocco.
I have a job.
My family's here.
I can't just leave.
- I mean, why not?
It's just three months.
Think about the food,
all the videos
you could make there.
Really, there's no reason
why we both can't go.
- Hold on tight ♪
I'm only asking you 'cause I
think what we have is special.
- I never understood ♪
Just think about it.
- Oh ♪
Do you like what you see? ♪
You're trying me on again ♪
You're trying me on ♪
I'm a lonely child again ♪
Coming down the slide ♪

Da-da-da ♪
Da, da-da ♪
Da, da-da-da-da ♪
Look at me,
go ahead and fool me ♪
- Need some help?
- No, thank you.
- Look, Vanessa, I really think
you should reconsider
telling your story.
I would understand
the high road
if Noa met Daniel
after the proposal,
but she met him before.
- Look at me,
go ahead and fool me ♪
My friend ♪
- What?
- Go ahead and fool me ♪
- Oh.
Noa Hamilton
spoke with Daniel.
She flirted with him
right before you proposed.
- That I want to know

- No, that's impossible.
- She even told him
to order the soup.
- Hold on tight ♪

- Previously on "The Baker
and the Beauty"
- Ready.
- You have to tell us
how you make
something simple
taste so good.
- You should have a show
about food or something.
The camera loves you.
- Speaking of.
- Daniel, you have no idea.
The press smell blood.
They're gonna start circling.
Fame is hard
on a relationship.
- I have a film
starting production next week,
and you'd be perfect for it.
- There's another group
of sharks we have to deal with.
My family--they keep asking
to meet you.
- Hi, I'm Noa.
Smells delicious.
Would you ever think
of opening a restaurant?
- The place next door
would be a great café.
- Maybe when Daniel takes over.
I don't want Daniel
to lose sight of who he is.
- I care about your son.
- I'm gay.
- You're too young to know
anything about being gay.
- This is who I am.
- Family dinner?
You invited her
to family dinner?
- Oh!
- Find yourself a new manager.
- What is it
with this girl and soup?
- Hey, are you
gonna see her later?
- Is that a special delivery
for Noa?
- No,
it's just a regular delivery.
You guys should try
our pastelitos.
They're delicious.
- So this is what
rich people Christmas is like.
Yo, I got dibs on these.
- Dude, you're calling dibs
on everything.
- What is all this stuff?
I was only gone 30 minutes.
Happy being Noa Hamilton's
boyfriend day.
- Guys, we can't keep this.
- Daniel, they want you
to have this stuff, okay?
You put these on,
get a photo in a magazine,
boom, that's free advertising.
- Have Mom and Dad
seen any of this?
- Yeah, they have.
- Oh!
- Oyeme, chica.
- Ay, Rafael,
live a little, Papi.
Put on a mask and get rid
of those frown lines.
- Okay, I had nothing
to do with this.
- There may not be a bill,
Daniel,
but there's always a price.
- Yep.
When does it end?
- On behalf of Dade Motors,
we'd love to know
what you think of the car.
- Okay,
now can I have the sneakers?
- Uh, I'm sure Noa would love
to go for a ride.
- This is insanity, okay?
- Daniel, grab the keys.
Daniel, just reach your hand
and wrap your finger--
Daniel, take the keys!
- So what do you think?
- So far, life
in the public eye--
not so bad.
Vanessa, I came to apologize.
- I am so over you guys.
- Okay, you know what?
- Let me get--
- That's okay,
but let me explain.
- Give me the gift.
- No, you gotta let me explain.
- Okay.
Explain.
- Yeah? Cool.
Look
I lied to you about being sick
because I wanted
to meet Noa Hamilton.
I don't know.
It's just
I thought maybe
she'd help make me famous.
- Famous, Mateo?
- But then you came in
and you said what you did
And how we just let Noa
have dinner at our house
like nothing,
like no problem, it hit me.
You were right.
You've done so much for me.
I think you and I
can really be a good team.
And you're so good
at convincing people
to give me a chance,
and I am so,
so not good at that.
- Yeah, you're not.
- Right?
- You're so bad at it
that I'm surprised
people even listen to you.
I mean
- Yes.
- It's painful to watch, Mateo.
- Okay.
- Like, you might have
a disorder.
Like, do you ever hear
yourself talking?
It's like the--
- I need you
To manage me.
I need you.
- One lie
one lie, Mateo,
and I will never speak
to you again.
I'm serious.
- Vanessa, thank you.
- Don't thank me.
Go write some new material.
We can't dine out
on "Calle Ocho Guy"
forever, right?
- You gonna be so
glad that you witnessed ♪
The slickest
in this business ♪
No stress
A-plus
on the swagger ♪
Testosterone, if you-- ♪
- Leave.
- Okay.
- A café.
- No way.
- With a business loan,
we can do this.
This is our chance, Papi.
Revenue is up.
Thomas Gold called
your magnificos life changing.
It's time for us to expand.
- Do you know how much it would
cost to knock down the wall?
- Yes, I do.
- Better:
expand the kitchen.
Hire more help?
- Do you know?
Hmm?
Because I did the numbers.
They're right there.
We can do this, mi amor.
Think about it, Rafael.
Cooking--real cooking
like you used to do.
- Ay, Mari, por favor.
That was another place,
another life.
- So?
Let's do it now
in this place, in this life.
- I just worry that
That was a dream
of a younger man.
- Come on.
So what do you think?
- I think it's been
almost a week.
How long is this cold war
gonna last?
- I'm just trying to give her
her space, Rafael.
- You give her any more,
she'll be living
in another state, Mari.
- I don't know what
to say to her.
I'm scared I'm gonna say
the wrong thing.
- You're her mother.
Of course you're gonna say
the wrong thing.
And then you'll say
exactly what she needs to hear.
- I liked that.
- That was fun, right?
- I like that side of you.
- That was kind of cool.
- Who knew you were
such a speed demon, though?
- I've got moves
you haven't seen.
- Ugh, get a room.
- One I'm not in, please.
- Is he always waiting for you?
- No, only when he has messes
to clean up.
Like, I don't know,
joyriding in a free car?
Keys, please?
- She said it was okay.
- Oh, did she?
She should know better.
- You're such a buzzkill.
I'll be right back.
Be nice.
- I'm always nice.
Here's the deal.
You and Noa are a thing now.
And sure, there are perks,
but the one question
you have to ask yourself
before accepting any of them:
is this good for Noa?
So driving around
in a flashy car,
feeding this narrative
that you're
some gold-digging upstart
- I'm not.
- Isn't good for Noa.
- So what's up, Lewis?
I know you didn't come
for car keys.
- Well, one, tonight's gala.
Your dress is in the closet.
Daniel, your tux will be here
this afternoon.
- I have a tux?
- Yes.
You're not working the gala
this time, baker boy.
You're attending it with Noa.
Two, KKR&A upped their offer.
Here's the proposal.
- Offer for what?
- My company.
- Megacorporations
are always trying
to buy her out, and she
always says the same thing.
- No.
Okay,
so that's two out of three.
Did Birch Branch call back?
- Yep.
You two have a meeting
this afternoon.
- What are you guys
talking about?
- Okay, so, babe,
remember when I said
you were great on camera?
I sent your Piñones video
to a production company
that works
with the Food Channel,
and they want to have
a meeting with you
about a show.
- Wait, you serious?
- Is that a good face
or bad face?
- No, it's a great face.
I meanme on TV.
- Yeah, baby, you'll be great.
I'm gonna go try on that dress.
- Take the meeting.
She's not gonna date
a baker her whole life.
- Oh, absolutely.
This is actually one of
the best school districts
in the city.
Here's more info.
Oh, hi!
Welcome.
- Hey there.
- How can I help you?
- Um, well, I'm actually here
to help you.
I--okay, first thing
you should know
is that couple right there
and that guy right over there--
they're reporters
for gossip rags.
They're spying on you.
- What?
Why?
- Because you're
Daniel Garcia's ex-girlfriend,
#TheSoupThrower.
- #SoupThrower?
- Look, I'm a reporter too,
only unlike them,
I'm not here to catch you
in some big gotcha.
I just--
- Listen, just leave, okay?
Hi, welcome.
- I--
- Um, check out
the new countertops.
Gorgeous.
- Yeah, look, I'm sure
you don't want to hear this.
It's probably hard enough
to have to see
Daniel and Noa's face
everywhere you turn,
but you are
part of the story too.
- Okay, listen, I don't have
anything to say about them.
So you can leave.
- I respect that.
Sooner or later, someone's
gonna want to tell your side
whether you like it or not,
so
give me a call
if you decide
to have control
over your story.
It's just a business card.
Got it.
And from now on, hey,
just assume anyone you talk to
is just a less scrupulous me.
- No, Daniel Garcia
is not working today,
but I'm Rafael.
This is my bakery,
and I'm confident
I can help you
with anything that he--
How many of you are waiting
to buy something
from Daniel Garcia?
- Over here, yeah!
all: Yeah!
- Your brother's gonna be
the death of me.
Half the line are customers
just waiting to meet him.
- I know, right?
They should meet his cool,
better-looking brother.
- We have another brother?
- Low-hanging fruit.
That's what that was.
- Hey, Natalie, how 'bout
you and I go shopping today?
- Me?
- Yeah.
It's been a while
since we've had girl time.
Come on, let's go spend
some of Papi's money.
- But Daniel's off today.
- Go, go. Go with your mother.
Mateo and I will handle it.
Please, you two go.
Have a good time.
Spend my money.
- Sounds great.
- It's gonna be fun.
I'll go get the car.
I'll meet you out front.
- Yay.
- Bye.
- Dad, I got
a recording session
this afternoon.
I told you about it last week.
- You're gonna
have to cancel it.
I need you to work the counter
while I finish fixing the leak
in the storage closet.
- Great idea, except
I can't cancel
or else I'll lose the money.
- You have to.
Mom and Natalie left.
- Call them back.
- Mateo.
- What?
- You know how important it is
for them to--
- Go shopping?
- To reconnect.
I need you here.
End of story.
- So let me see if I get this.
Everybody else gets to do
whatever they want,
and I get stuck here
picking up the slack?
Is that what you're telling me?
Dad, I got a business thing
to go to.
It's important.
- I can't work the counter
and fix the leak,
and if I don't fix the leak,
that's a health code violation
that could shut us down.
Everyone in this family needs
to sacrifice
for each other
at some point or another,
and today
It's your turn.
Period.
- Lewis, what are you doing?
Should I be worried?
The only time you decide
to eat healthy
is when you're coming down
with something
or you're dating someone new
and you think
that you need to lose weight,
in which case,
let me tell you, you don't.
You look great.
- He's a nutritionist,
and they say kale
makes you horny, so
- We need to talk.
- Your serious voice.
- I heard from Charles Cooper.
The board wasn't exactly happy
that you turned down the KKR&A
offer without even asking them.
- It's my company.
- Yes, but you do have
a board of directors
who would like
to be kept in the loop.
- Fine, send them the proposal.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Then they can agree with me.
Now I need to go
to this meeting with Daniel.
I'm already late.
- Noa, really?
You don't need to be there.
Daniel's a big boy.
- Noa, hi.
It's Melanie Caan.
Hope I'm not catching you
at a bad time.
- Put it on speaker.
- Uh, no, not at all.
How are you?
- I'm good.
I just got back from Toronto.
I know this
is insanely short notice,
but I'm here
at my place in Miami.
I was hoping we could
get together to discuss
another project,
one without Colin Davis.
- Uh, yes, of course.
Anytime.
- Any chance you could swing by
my place in, say, an hour?
- Say yes.
- Uh, hang on one second.
Let me double check.
- Oh, my God.
Are you insane?
- What about Daniel?
- You are going
to see Melanie Caan
because this is your dream.
Daniel would agree.
- Melanie Caan!
That's great.
Well, let's reschedule this.
- No, no, no, don't be silly.
You don't need me.
Just go in there and wow them.
- Noa, I've never done anything
like this before.
- It's a general meeting.
They just want a feel
for who you are.
Listen,
you single-handedly saved
my entire benefit
in Puerto Rico,
and you made it magical.
You have a gift, okay?
Trust me.
I gotta go,
but break a leg, okay?
Bye.
- Bye.
- Daniel, are we still waiting
on Ms. Hamilton?
- Actually, it'll just be me.
- Okay then.
This way.
- I can tell
you're a serious buyer,
so I won't
beat around the bush.
New kitchen, new floors,
his and her closets
in the master bedroom.
- I like it.
But I was really looking
for his and his closets,
not that I want
to go back in the closet.
- His and his, of course.
That's exactly what I meant.
So do you want
to make an offer?
- Well, I think I would.
- Six, three
- You really don't know
who I am?
- Wait, please don't tell me
you're another one
of those reporters.
- I'm Noa Hamilton's manager.
- Even better.
Yet another person walking
in here and wasting my time.
- I'm not here
to waste your time.
I'm here to buy a house,
which will, coincidentally,
give you a nice, big,
fat, juicy commission.
You're asking 400k
for this place, right?
- Uh-huh.
- Hmm.
How about 450 cash
and we close today?
Huh?
And in return?
- Well, when we sit down
to sign the paperwork,
I just get you to sign an NDA.
- Wow.
- Look, correct me
if I'm wrong.
You're turning down interviews,
so I'm not asking you
to do anything
that you're not already doing.
I just think you should be
rewarded for your loyalty.
You took a big swing,
and it ended in a botched
proposal that went viral.
That was embarrassing.
And then Noa winds up
with Daniel
after you break up with him.
That sucks too.
So now what?
You can move on with your life
and get something out of this.
You're an industrious woman.
Probably take this seed money,
and, a decade from now,
you run an empire.
- Hmm.
- Trust me,
you never know
when life's
gonna throw you a curveball.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not for sale.
- Run it, skill ♪
Damn it.
- Run it ♪
- What about this one?
- I know you're really excited
about the idea
of throwing me
a quinceañera,
butI'm already 15.
- Ay, nobody's gonna care.
Mama, look at this one.
- Our bakery is known
for its meringues,
but does that mean
I have to look like one?
- Okay, you're right.
- Oh, Mom, look at this one.
- Ay, Natalie.
It's your quince, Mama,
not the Cuban version
of "Twilight."
- Okay, that's fair.
- Ooh.
- I love it.
- Ay, sí, Mama.
- Really, you like it?
- Mm-hmm, yes.
- It's not traditional.
- I don't care
if it's not traditional.
I only care that it
makes you happy.
And it doesn't make you
look like a vampire.
Wow.
Ay, tu abuela and I,
we had such a fun time
planning my quince.
Turned out to be one
of the best days of my life.
I just want that
for you too, mi amor.
For all of us.
- I'd really like that, Mom.
- Good.
Now let's see you
in this dress.
Come on, let's try it on.
- Well, Daniel,
let me start by saying,
big fans.
- Fans.
- We love what you shot
in Puerto Rico.
- The part where you and Noa
are eating the plantains.
- Yes! What are those
called again?
- The fried green ones
are called tostones,
but when they're ripe,
Cubans call them maduros.
Puerto Ricans
call them amarillos.
- That means yellow.
I did a semester in Barcelona.
- So pitch us your idea.
- Pitch?
- Your vision for a show.
- Right, um
- You made it!
- Hi.
- I'm so sorry
for the last-minute invite.
That must've sounded crazy.
- No, I'm so happy you called.
Hello.
That's a very pretty crown.
Is it your birthday?
Happy birthday.
- Seven years old.
- So cute.
Never thought I'd have a kid,
but it 's a great excuse
for pizza and cake.
Ah!
- The truth is,
food is one of our oldest forms
of communication.
So if you think about it,
there's a whole world
of chefs, cooks, food stands,
all telling unique stories
through the dishes
that they make.
It's a universal language.
- A universal language.
- I love that.
- I swear, the minute
parents hear you're having
a drop-off party,
they take full advantage.
Katie, do not feed
the dog cake!
Have a slice.
Make yourself at home.
I'll be right back.
- And I always knew I wanted
to do something
that combines food and culture
because I just love
talking to people,
meeting people.
- Clearly--so charming.
- Noa really put it all
together in San Juan.
She actually shot that video.
- Oh--well, that's why
she's Noa Hamilton.
She has the magic eye.
- Hey, what's going on here?
- He pushed me.
- I know.
I saw that.
Are you okay?
You hurt?
- No.
- Would you like some water?
- No.
- Shall we report him
to the tug of war association?
- Yeah!
- Wow, international superstar
Noa Hamilton
is also
a kid whisperer.
- Oh, and if Noa can drop in
- Yes.
- As a guest from time to time,
I think we have a hit show
on our hands.
- So you want me to adopt
an accent and get a motorcycle.
- Don't forget the tattoos.
- Yeah.
- And make sure
Noa's along for the ride.
- I'm in.
- Me too.
- I'm looking for someone
to play the part
of a young mother, which is why
I invited you here today,
to see how you act
around kids.
This film,
it's a passion project.
I've been trying
to get it made for years,
and I think you'd be perfect
for the lead.
- A lead.
- We're shooting
the entire thing
on location in Morocco.
It'll be challenging,
but I think it could
show the world
a Noa Hamilton
they've never seen before.
Like what "Monster" did
for Charlize.
- Wow.
- So, what do you say?
You up for spending
three months
in the middle of nowhere?
- Betsi,
you should've been there.
It was surreal.
- Tattoos and a motorcycle?
They really don't know you,
do they?
- I swear to God,
that's what they said.
- Well, you would look good.
Of course,
when I think about it,
I love the idea
of doing a show.
- Hmm.
- But it's like
they had zero interest
in the real me doing it.
- Well, that network
is a business.
They want a Daniel
they can sell,
a Daniel they can market
to the world.
Be yourself, Daniel.
Don't let them change
who you are.
- Betsi, I've come here
every day to eat your samosas
since I was a kid.
I have a proposition for you.
So break it down.
These samosas are filled
with spiced potatoes,
onions, coriander, and ginger?
- That is right.
- Samosas are like
the Indian cousin
of Cuban
papas rellenas.
- Right?
- How should I know?
Somebody never brings me any
from his family's bakery.
- Oh, snap. Okay, I will.
I promise.
I'm sorry.
Listen, folks, do you see this?
Do you see that?
Da Vinci's got nothing
on Betsi.
Look at that.
This is samosa art right here.
They're almost
too beautiful to eat.
Keyword: "almost,"
'cause you know as soon
as we stop filming,
I'm scarfing these down.
- Okay, so you sure
this is the one?
Because there are,
like, six quince shops
in Little Havana,
and I'm not scared
of taking a deep dive.
- I am.
- And I'm sure.
- Well, you look beautiful.
- Hola.
- Hola.
- We're gonna take this one.
- Oh, wonderful choice.
- Gracias.
- It's so nice
to see mothers and daughters
preserving tradition.
Last week, a girl came in here
wanting a quinceañera suit.
- Tell me something.
Are you Cuban?
You should go back to Cuba
because this is America,
and this is a free country,
and people are allowed
to be who they are,
so if this is the way
you talk about your customers,
we're gonna take
our business elsewhere.
Adiós.
Vámonos.
- All right, two cafecitos,
uno pastelito de guayaba,
y dos croquetas
de jamón, right?
All right, seven bucks even.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
- Who put this here?
That would be me,
your humble servant.
- We sell food.
We don't ask for charity.
- Well, I had to figure out
another way to make up
for the 300 bucks I lost
for canceling
the recording session.
- You lost $300?
We'll be right with you.
Throwing away money like that.
- I lost the money
because you forced me
to stay here and work.
- No, no, no, no,
I mean spending that much
just to play around
in some recording studio?
- Have you ever believed in me?
- Mateo.
- No, no, no,
because I'm not playing around.
I'm not throwing money away.
In fact,
I'm investing in myself.
Why do you think I'm
always listening to new mixes
and trying out new lyrics?
I haven't had a date in months
because all the money
that I'm making
goes straight into my music--
promo fliers,
SoundCloud account.
I'm actually getting
some traction too.
I'm making real
industry contacts
through the bar mitzvah gig.
They told me that they wanted
to hear a demo of mine.
So that's why I needed
to book a recording studio.
So it can sound professional
because that
is what musicians do.
You, out of all people
Don't tell me
I'm playing around.
Because I'm doing
exactly what you did.
I'm building
something of my own,
whether you
take it seriously or not.
- Mateo
- I just wanted to say
that was awesome.
I know I surprised you,
and I know you're
still getting used to it,
but it meant a lot to me,
the way you defended me.
Uh, I meant that
as a compliment.
- That's how it's gonna be,
Natalie.
You being judged by strangers.
Are you sure that's
what you really want?
- No.
But wanting
has nothing to do with it.
I don't get it.
You were so cool
about everything.
You're the best mom.
Why can't you just accept this?
- Because I can't protect you
for the rest of your life.
And what am I
if I can't protect you?
You're my baby.
You're my everything.
You think you know this world,
Mamita, but you really don't.
- Mateo!
Mateo!
- 'Sup?
I locked up out front.
Oh, my gosh, more work.
- That's right.
You gotta help me
finish this up
so you can get to using it.
I fixed the leak
in the storage area,
and I realized, maybe what
we need isn't a storage closet.
- Have you gone crazy?
- I read about soundproofing
on the internet.
I couldn't afford to build you
a fancy recording studio,
but I built you
the next best thing.
Test it.
Can you hear me, Mateo?
This is awesome.
- Listen, I know a lot of work
has been falling
on your shoulders lately,
and I'm sorry for that,
and I haven't been
very supportive of your music
.in the past, but I want to be.
We sacrificed,
coming to this country
to achieve our dreams,
but more importantly,
so you kids
could achieve yours.
- Thank you, Dad.
- You've reached
Daniel Garcia.
I can't come
to the phone right now.
Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you.
- Hey, Daniel, it's me again.
I know you have
that thing with Noa--
your first official
public appearance as a couple.
So your phone's probably off
right now,
but when you get these,
if you could just
give me a call back?
- Yo.
Vibe check.
How'd it go today with Mom?
- It was fine.
- It was fine?
I don't like that word.
- You seem to like it
when you're describing women.
- Only Maggie Smith.
What happened?
- For a minute,
I thought we were past it.
Then she started telling me how
terrible my life was gonna be.
The worst part is
I know she believes that.
She'll get there.
They do.
I mean, think about Dad.
How many years did he think
that my music was a joke?
- All of 'em.
- Well, today he built me
a recording studio.
- What?
- Yeah.
- We had this,
like, big blowout,
and I finally felt
like he heard me.
So he made the storage closet
into a DIY studio.
- He did?
- Pretty cool, right?
Point I'm trying to make
is he got there.
She will too.
- So Dad built you a closet
and Mom shoved me
back into mine.
- Hey.
- Get your shoes off my bed.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry
that the Food Channel people
turned out to be such idiots.
- Maybe they're right.
If I wanna be on TV, I need
a little more showbiz.
- Daniel Garcia, no.
- What?
- Please don't change on me.
- I'm not.
- You don't have to worry.
- Okay, good.
'Cause I like you
just the way you are.
- Ugh, straight people.
- Gucci, your timing sucks.
- No argument from me.
I am counting the days
for your honeymoon phase
to be over.
Your car's downstairs.
This arrived for you.
It's the new proposal
from KKR&A.
Whatever's living in there,
we don't have
the food to feed it.
- Okay, now they're
just being aggressive.
- Right?
- All right, we can send
that to the board.
- Good.
- With my no.
Can you please help me try on
some earrings?
- You know what I'm gonna say.
These, yes, always these.
But they're not as low.
- Lewis.
Did you go see Vanessa?
- Nuts.
- Did you try to bribe her?
- I heard people
were after her story,
so I went to talk to her.
It's my job.
- Do you understand
how insulting that is
to a woman like Vanessa?
It's already bad enough
that I broke her heart.
Now she thinks I'm trying
to buy her off.
- Welcome to reality,
baker boy!
Whether you like it or not,
anyone you hurt,
anyone with a grudge
against you is now my problem,
as if I needed
any more problems right now,
thank you very little.
- Lewis.
- Are you okay with this?
- I'm just hearing about this
for the first time, okay?
- Well, okay.
What do you think?
- I think I don't like
being put on the spot,
and I think I don't like
your look of judgment.
You broke up with her.
I'm just the one
they're gonna come after.
What do you think about that?
- I'll see you in the car.
- Wow.
- So you didn't find a dress.
- Mm-mm.
- But did you talk?
- We talked.
- And?
- And this is not easy.
Butwe'll get through it.
We always do.
How was your day?
- Interesting.
You know, with Daniel off
with you-know-who
- Mm-hmm.
- Natalie discovering
who she is,
and Mateo finally growing up
I realized life
is always changing.
That's how we know we're alive.
I called the bank.
- You did?
- You're right.
Twenty years, we've been
working just to make ends meet.
This is our chance
but I only have one condition.
- What?
- We call the café
Mari's.
Gracias--I'm so happy
you said that
because that was gonna be
one of my conditions too.
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
- I love you.
Gracias, Papi.
- All right, I love you, Mari.
- I don't wanna fight.
- I don't want to either.
- I can't.
- Look, your world
is just gonna take
a little getting used to.
- Okay.
And I was really thrown
by how you defended Vanessa.
And then how you looked at us.
Like Lewis and I
were horrible people.
- I don't think that.
But you have to understand,
we talk about
how I have to adjust.
Maybe you do too.
But in my family,
we're there for each other.
We argue,
we get mad at each other,
but we talk it out
just like how we're doing
so nothing festers.
- I like that.
I'm not used to that, you know?
I always have to be so careful.
- We are a team now.
Whatever we face,
we face together.
All right?
- All right.
- Okay,
so if that's the case
Have you ever wanted
to go to Morocco?
- That's such a random thought.
- Well, it isn't
because Melanie Caan
offered me the lead role
in her new film.
- What?
That's amazing.
- I know.
It shoots in Morocco
for three months,
and I really want you
to come with me.
- Wow, three months in Morocco.
I have a job.
My family's here.
I can't just leave.
- I mean, why not?
It's just three months.
Think about the food,
all the videos
you could make there.
Really, there's no reason
why we both can't go.
