The Manny (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
[Jimena grunting and panting]
Where are you?!
Where did you go? Stop hiding.
-I'm here.
-[Jimena grunts]
You?
[exhales sharply]
Joaquín. I'm looking for my necklace.
Get up, and help me look. The
The gold "J" pendant. It's my lucky one.
You know what? You should get going.
I mean, don't you have somewhere to be?
No, well, not really, you know?
I'm not busy.
No, no, and besides, it's very late.
So our kids are already awake,
and so hurry up.
Honestly, don't you think that's better?
So we can explain everything together?
It's no secret from God.
We might as well tell everyone.
No, no! No, wait a minute.
It's just a one-night stand,
this one time.
Okay? So let's leave God
and the kids out of this.
[Leo] Gaby!
-Come on. Let's do this.
-Oh! Hey, Chimi.
I swear, this time will be different.
I'm gonna be different.
I gotta go, Joaquín.
-You're so great, you know that?
-Mmm.
Love you, Chimi.
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs]
[music ends]
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
And now, we'll see a trick
by Leo the Magnificent.
Everyone see the 100 pesos?
-Yes.
-Uh-huh.
Din din din
-[Gabriel laughs]
-[Brenda] Oh! [laughs]
And now we just unfold our bill
and look at it.
-It's 500!
-[all] No!
Whoa!
-How did he do that?
-Wow! Yes.
[Gabriel] Very good, eh?
This, my dear Chimi,
is some paperwork I found
from several other seizures.
Okay.
All of them are signed
by your special date, Judge Guerrero.
All of these accounts
were closed by auction.
And all of them were
your dear cousin's accounts.
And he just so happens to own a yacht.
-That's strange, isn't it?
-[gasps]
You know, every one of these,
including the account for Dos Caminos,
well, all of them should be seized
and handled by you.
And these ranches,
we're talkin' mucho dinero.
Like this one.
Rancho Arracada.
Each year, they export
hundreds of pigs across the globe.
We would have to get into Rogelio's office
to find evidence of all his scams.
Rogelio and his keys,
I mean, they're inseparable.
Leo the Magnificent!
[whimsical music plays]
[Sofía] Santiago.
How can I make this right?
I'm begging you.
-I'll even make your bed.
-[sighs]
I'll do anything, dude!
You know what you can do?
You're gonna be my slave
for a couple days.
But I have three days of that with Leo!
Don't do that. You can be easier on her.
I know that you like Sofi a lot,
that's no reason to forgive her.
That's not very nice, Santiago.
Welcome to the club, Sof.
Your brother's about as forgiving
as the mafia.
Stays upset forever.
[whimsical music plays]
If you're looking for a solution,
there it is.
Leo can work his magic for Rogelio
while you look for evidence in his office.
You know, if you want, I can go,
pretending to take care of Leo.
Make it easy for you to slip out.
Well, you know, if that's what you want.
Cool. Okay.
But we still don't know about
how we're supposed to inspire
the king to leave his throne.
Well, at least the good news there is
every king has a weak spot.
Believe me.
[whimsical music playing]
If there's one thing I know about Rogelio,
it's that he has never been able to say no
to a glazed doughnut.
I understand
[Jimena] That's why we'll bring him
freshly baked doughnuts
from his favorite bakery.
So he can smell them
and track the scent
like a bloodhound after its prey.
[Rogelio clears throat]
[shushing]
[Jimena] And I've never seen him
have a doughnut without a hot coffee.
Thanks very much.
[sniffing]
[Jimena] That ought to
buy Brenda enough time
to get the keys to Rogelio's office
from the janitor.
-And right then
-[janitor sighs]
that'll be the cue
for Leo the Magnificent
and his assistant
Gabriel the Fantastic Lasso to show up.
Where they'll use all of their talents
to distract Rogelio.
It's time to begin
Operation Glazed Cousin.
Today is Friday,
so it's time for a TikTok vlog.
Today I'm going to list
the five most pathetic kinds of kids
in the entire school.
Tania, can we talk a minute?
Here's one right now!
I think I would say
the biggest loser in the whole school.
What? Can't you see I'm busy?
You and I have nothing to talk about.
[Sofía] I'll be right back.
You were right, Santi.
She won't give you the time of day.
[indistinct chatter]
But it's better this way.
She doesn't deserve you.
All she really cares about
are her followers.
The point here is that no one wants to
hear "I'm sorry" in real life. Gross.
Okay, but I don't even have my cell phone.
-How did people used to communicate?
-I know.
[Sofía] What are you doing, Santi?
[Santiago] I'll write a little note.
Besides it being romantic,
you know, it's efficient.
Wait a sec, you want me
to go give it to her?
No way, I would rather shop
at a bargain store
than get close to someone
as horrible as her.
But that's not really a "me-problem."
It's a slave one.
[sighs]
[mischievous music playing]
[Santiago] "Tania, forgive me, please."
"I won't lose my temper again."
"You're the most important thing
in my life."
[speaking indistinctly]
[mischievous music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Mmm.
Mmm.
[indistinct chatter]
Well, hey, Leo. What brings you in today?
I bet your mom brought you in
to show your grandpa
how hard being a mom is.
Actually, there's no school today.
Mmm.
And you're here because?
Where they lead, I follow.
I'm the male nanny, Gabriel.
-A cowboy nanny, huh?
-Yup.
Oh, so you're the reason
I was lassoed then
by Santiago, at my uncle's
I'm a cowboy, a nanny,
and I'm also the very talented assistant
to Leo the Magnificent!
Attention! Are you ready
to fill your life with magic?
Yes, we are!
Here, Tania, it's from Santi.
Don't you wanna see?
What is this nonsense, huh?
Well, this nonsense is the only way
that Santiago is willing
to communicate with you.
And thanks to you guys,
he'll be grounded into his thirties.
Santiago is grounded
because of what you did.
Okay? So don't forget that.
[Santiago] "Let's break up."
He
Ana Lau, paper.
And a pen.
Your little brother better listen.
I mean read, or whatever you say.
Turn around!
[mischievous music playing]
Bye!
[music ends]
Let me see. What'd she write?
[Tania] "See you tomorrow
at the bowling alley at 3:00."
Awesome! I knew our connection
was the real deal!
And I'm not gonna just
let it die out like that!
Santiago, you're still grounded.
How will you get out of the house?
[Rogelio chuckling]
-Oh!
-Oh!
Look, magic isn't real.
The coin's right there,
and the glass fell down in your lap.
[whimsical music playing]
-Jeez, can you open it or not?
-[keys jingling]
[Brenda] I'm trying.
Just find the right key!
-There's twenty keys on this ring.
-Try one you haven't then.
Oh God!
All right.
Leaving in the middle of a show is
kinda rude. How about we sit down?
Well, answer this first.
What else can you do with your lasso?
Well, I lasso bulls, broncos
You can tie up any animal with a lasso.
Mmm.
Goodbye, Leo. I gotta run.
[laughs]
-Is this it? No.
-[phone dings]
-[sighs]
-[Gabriel] "Rogelio's coming!"
-[gasps] Rogelio's coming!
-No!
-Yes, yes, yes! No, no, this way!
-No! Oh my
Come on! Let's go. Hurry up.
-Now what?
-Now we move to Plan B.
-What is Plan B?
-One better than A.
Ugh!
[Jimena] How could we forget
he'd have so many keys?
We should've just asked
the custodian to open it.
Oh well, yeah.
[urinating]
[stops urinating]
[resumes urinating]
Please stop doing your Kegels,
so that we can talk normally, okay?
[urinating]
[stops urinating]
Ew!
You know, you really should
do them as well.
You'll be prepared for what's in store.
And when are you going to spill it?
When you came in,
I could see on your face,
you don't know what to do with Joaquin.
All I can think about with him
are the same old questions.
Will this time be different?
Will he be different?
[Brenda sighs]
I just sent you a text with a link.
It's the test that should help you answer
that very question.
How can you tell if your partner
is a wolf or a sheep?
[laughs] Are you serious?
Hey, what's the matter?
Martha Debayle shared it.
Ah! Hmm!
What's the worst
that could happen by taking it?
He may not pass the test,
and you have a little fun?
Okay. You know what? You're right.
He's the father of my children.
And so, I guess trying once more
is worth it.
Um, Joaco,
how about next time
we do something romantic?
-[gasps]
-[laughs]
[Joaquín] Sounds like a great plan, Chimi.
But today's the Champions League final.
Tomorrow?
-I knew it.
-[Brenda] Jimena 1, Joaquín 0.
-[sighs]
-But there's still two more tests to go.
It was all my fault.
My uncle didn't like my tricks.
No, Leo, that wasn't it.
If anyone, it was me.
You know, it's up to the assistant
to distract the audience.
I'm a terrible assistant magician.
Gabriel, thank you for cheering me up.
Oh, yeah, man,
we might've lost the battle,
but we didn't lose the war, Leo.
Yes, your mom will succeed, I know it.
The problem is, Rogelio was prepared
for another trick.
I think he wanted you
to come to his house.
-[chuckles]
-[Leo sighs]
You know, I can't say I blame him.
You don't meet
a magician's assistant like you every day.
According to Jimena, Rogelio is
responsible for everything at the ranches.
But there's no evidence, so I'm
I'm going to help her try to find it.
Careful now, mijo.
They may catch on.
We both know they're capable of anything.
Okay. Don't worry about it, godmother.
I'll let you know what happens.
God bless you, my son.
[disconnects call]
[pensive music playing]
[sighs]
If he doesn't mind
looking stupid for you, my girl,
you have a lovely little sheep
on your hands.
No, I can't I can't go there.
You know, Joaquín,
he really cares what people think.
What's the worst possibility?
You finally could be absolutely certain
that Joaquín will never change.
[Jimena] And Rogelio's keys?
[Brenda] I'll take care of that.
[sighs] Okay.
You know what? I'll give it a shot.
Whatever this is with him,
I need to sort it out
for of our children.
Ready!
So
What can we do for you?
Okay, you guys,
I think I have the perfect plan
to get Rogelio out of his office.
Today's his birthday.
Oh, no! Rogelio is to birthdays
what the Grinch is to Christmas.
Well, that's the plan.
Just think about it, you know?
We get party hats to put on,
and we get a lot of snacks and booze,
and then, at the end, Leo the Magnificent.
-[Brenda gasps]
-I'm sorry, but count me out.
My uncle doesn't like magic.
But, you know,
it's also for the employees,
who your grandpa included,
are gonna cheer and applaud you,
and probably change his mind.
Wait till he notices
the trick included his keys.
Just leave that part to me.
[laughs] Cool.
Brenda, you're in charge and [claps]
Let's beat that punk!
-Yeah!
-Hell yeah!
Let's go!
[whistles]
Are you going to the '80s
or a bowling alley?
Seriously?
Put this on.
No man wears his hair like this,
Santiago Echegaray!
[whimsical music playing]
Know whose shoelaces are untied?
Santiago Echegaray.
Seriously?
And don't forget
you have to distract Papa.
-[tightens laces]
-[Santiago] Ow!
Drama queen!
[whimsical music continues]
[Jimena on phone] How is
Operation Disappearing Cousin going?
It's going great,
except for the "disappearing."
We still haven't seen Rogelio.
So, how's Operation
"Make A Fool Of Yourself" going? [laughs]
Well, I'm just like a mermaid waiting
for her pirate in the coolest bar in town.
But I eventually convinced him
by saying it was a kinky game.
[laughing] Oh well, any plan
that includes the word "kinky"
is sure to end well.
Well, may the silliest one win, my friend.
-All right. See ya.
-[Brenda] Bye!
[sighs]
[song playing faintly]
[goofy music playing]
Ooh.
That's some look, Chimi!
And what are you?
A pirate in a zoot suit? What the hell?
[laughs]
Okay. Ready?
Eh?
Makes me look pirate-ish. Doesn't it?
You look like
you're the dentist for a pirate!
Jesus, give me a break, Joaquín Eduardo!
You know, I thought
we agreed to wear costumes!
Do you have any idea what it's like to
come here with this? A giant mermaid tail?
I mean, do you know how many men
sang "I'm Your Pirate" on the way here?
And for what, huh? So you can dress up
like a fucking pirate swing dancer
with a dental plan, huh?
Calm down, Chimi, please.
Look, I put my pirate costume on.
I'm a cool pirate though, huh?
That's not kinky.
And, yes, hello, this was
supposed to be a sexual game!
Babe, lower your voice.
This restaurant's full of my clients.
And worse, the Yondules are here.
I've known them forever.
-Hey!
-And here's your lifelong fantasy.
A stupid ass mermaid!
-No, Chimi, Chimi! Come on. Please!
-Move!
-But, Chimi
-Move!
[Joaquín] Hey, Chimi!
Please No, no, let's
Don't go Chimi, please!
[in Spanish]
Happy birthday, dear Roger ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Oh hey, are you sure you'll be able to
talk Rogelio into being in the show?
I should be able to.
-Thank you. I really should
-Bravo!
Next, ladies and gentlemen,
a show like you've never seen before!
You guys are about to witness
something truly magical!
Especially dedicated to our birthday boy.
And now, the one and the only,
-Leo the Magnificent!
-[all cheering]
Yay! Bravo!
-Bravo!
-[all cheering]
-What's up?
-I need the curtain for the next trick.
[people murmuring]
-[gasps] Ah!
-[Gabriel grunts]
[people gasp, murmur]
Huh? Wow!
Before continuing, we're going to
need two volunteers from the audience.
Two volunteers.
Uncle, you can help me
make Grandpa disappear.
But I don't believe in magic.
-[Ernesto] Ah!
-Well, you better start believing in it
if you want to be
the new finance agency president.
-[people laugh]
-He's got you there. Rogelio!
[all chanting] Rogelio! Rogelio!
Rogelio! Rogelio!
Come on, be a good sport,
at least, Rogelio.
-It is my grandson here, after all.
-Cover him like this.
What's up, Pa?
Hey.
How are you, Princess?
Um, do you know if your mom's around?
Mmm, nope. She's not home.
But hey, close your eyes.
[mischievous music playing]
Okay, now what's my favorite song,
to win a prize.
[Joaquín] Oh, your favorite song?
That's easy.
I know that one.
And it goes something like
[singing in Spanish]
-No, please stop. That's so embarrassing.
-It's Micky. Come on!
Okay, you didn't win the prize,
but you did win a kiss.
-Second place is cool with me.
-[phone dings]
[Mich] "Hello, Joaco, how are you?"
-Are you still going out with Mich?
-Um
To be honest, right now I am hanging out
with you and with your mama.
And while I wish it was forever,
well, the truth is,
you never really know.
Love is always so complicated
and unpredictable.
Well, then maybe I should help you
make it be forever.
No, trust me, that's not going to work.
It's the couple's decision.
If a third person gets involved,
things have a way of going wrong.
Ah, but I do know this.
If you have a boyfriend
that makes you cry,
come and tell me immediately
because I'll rip him a new one.
Okay. Can't wait!
But I have to leave because
I'm studying at Amanda's house.
I already told Mama.
Okay. Hey, speaking of your mama.
Um, have you seen
her gold necklace anywhere? With the "J"?
-No.
-[Joaquín] No?
-Mm-mm. But anyway, gotta go.
-All right. Bye.
-[Sofía] Love you!
-Love you too!
[singing in Spanish]
-Like that?
-You got it.
-Okay.
-Here you go.
Eyes closed, huh?
[whimsical music playing]
What's on your face? You look a bit green.
I'm hulking out right now.
Dear volunteers, close your eyes
to make the magic work.
[Gabriel] Everyone,
please, close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Everyone, close your eyes. Everyone.
Nobody cheat.
[keys jingling]
Bipiddy! Bim! Bom!
Now you see him,
and now you don't!
-Hey!
-[all exclaim, cheer]
Yay!
-[man] Bravo!
-Let's take a bow.
Ready? One, two, three.
[upbeat music playing]
[Tania] Oh! So close!
Hey, sweetie
Um, no.
I mean, what? Did you already
forget you broke up with me on paper?
-On paper?
-That you mailed using your pigeon.
-[Santiago] Who's the pigeon
-Boy, nobody dumps me!
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-Don't play dumb, Santi
-No, no, no. Can't we just ta
-All right, that's enough you guys!
I switched your papers around.
I should've known.
This is his real note to you.
That other note
That one, I wrote.
[Santiago] "Tania, forgive me, please."
"You're the most important thing
in my life."
I shouldn't have gotten in the middle.
Oh God, a third person
really does mess things up.
But still, you don't deserve
to go out with my brother.
You're about to
deserve my foot in your a
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it!
Man, I was coming here
to say that I apologize.
-But if anyone owes an apology, it's you.
-Oh, yeah right, whatever.
You made Sofi do
all of those stupid tests.
We got grounded.
And you made us fight with each other!
Now that I think about it, you should
have received this one from the start.
-It's over between us.
-[scoffs]
So see ya!
No, wait a sec.
We should make the most of being here.
So, if you don't mind, then,
we're going to hang out
on a different lane.
Oh, give me a break!
[bowling ball thuds]
[bowling pins clattering]
[Sofía and Santiago laugh]
-Your turn!
-Okay, okay.
[Brenda] This is the final test.
And trust me, please,
this you open in bed.
Well, look, when I take the king,
you sneak into his throne room
and do your thing.
-What's that?
-Don't worry
Well, how about a drink
for the birthday boy?
-It's my treat.
-All right, let's go before I regret it.
Uh-huh. Let's celebrate.
You two go ahead while I drop off Leo.
Hey, hey! I've got it!
For my next trick,
I should make Rogelio disappear
so that you become the new president.
Aw, such a sweet boy. You really are.
But guess what?
I don't actually need magic.
If I put my mind to it,
I can achieve anything.
You're wonderful though!
[kisses] I love you. Come on, let's go.
[upbeat song playing]
[bowling ball thuds]
[clanks]
[laughs]
It's really not my sport.
Hey, you're not that bad.
[sighs]
So, hey, I'm sorry
for the stunt I pulled earlier.
It'll be all right.
Maybe she wasn't the right girl for me.
One thing's for sure,
I would never have realized it
if it weren't for you.
You know I'll always be
in your corner. Always.
Well, we should probably get going,
since you're supposed to be at home.
-Get up.
-[Santiago] Right.
[groovy music playing]
[rattling]
[Brenda] Hang on, Gaby, let me see.
Is this the one?
[Rogelio grunts]
Oh.
Will you wait here a moment?
I forgot my keys.
[car door closes]
[footsteps receding]
[elevator dings]
[groovy music continues]
Gaby.
-[Rogelio sighs]
-[phone keys clacking]
Oh, what is this?
So if I were Rogelio,
where would I hide the key to my secrets?
-[woman] Good afternoon, sir.
-[Rogelio] Good afternoon.
[gasps]
[music continues]
[music pauses]
[keys jingling]
[music resumes]
[sighs]
[Gabriel grunting]
[groans softly]
[sighs]
[suggestive music playing]
[giggles]
Oh! Okay! [laughs]
Yup, that's right,
they're an endangered species
called natural breasts.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, those I know about.
But that's not
what I was taking a picture of.
I was I was taking a picture of this.
Who are these guys?
What are they doing with Rogelio?
[pensive music playing]
Ah! Mmm
Gaby.
[whimsical music playing]
[Gabriel] Mmm.
-[whistles]
-Ooh.
Ah.
This should really improve
the boring night that lies ahead.
[Brenda] "If he doesn't try to
satisfy all your desires in bed,
"he's very likely
a sheep in wolf's clothing."
[object vibrating]
[object stops vibrating]
Ladies and gentlemen,
entertaining us, Joaco the Great!
And my goal is to give you a life
-full of magic.
-Full of magic.
-Mm-hmm.
-May I?
["Bolero Estelar"
by La Isla Centeno playing]
Ah-ha! [chuckles]
You know, I had a beautiful assistant
that was very talented,
but I had to let her go.
She was far too good at finance
to be happy with a poor magician.
Oh well.
Let's continue with the trick.
Let's see.
Take a card.
["Bolero Estelar" continues playing]
[inaudible]
["Bolero Estelar" continues playing]
[inaudible]
You found it!
How did you find my necklace?
Did you forget?
We got them on our honeymoon.
["Bolero Estelar" continues playing]
Thank you for Leo.
Thanks for my lucky "J" pendant.
Filling my life with magic.
My pleasure.
-Put it on.
-Of course.
["Bolero Estelar" continues playing]
Hey, what's that, a new pair of shoes?
Let me see.
[song ends]
[line ringing]
-[Romina on phone] Son, something happen?
-Yeah.
Godmother, I've just found a photo
in Rogelio's office
that proves he's working with Navarrete,
the town's mayor,
the biggest piece of trash in all Tepa.
You know what?
I think those two are in cahoots.
That guy is the worst
according to your Papa.
Will you tell him?
No. I mean, how can I?
I'm gonna need more evidence,
to begin with.
I don't want to let him down again.
Well, you're gonna
disappoint him more doing nothing.
Don't forget. The only reason you're in
that house is to save your Papa's ranch.
Keep that in mind.
Now more than ever, Gabriel.
