The Manny (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[tense music playing on TV]
This movie is super dumb.
It makes no sense.
What are you talking about?
I mean, why did the Avengers
have to split up?
They're just angry 'cause
they handle things differently.
But in the end, they're fighting
for the same side, aren't they?
You know, if Tony and the Cap
just talked they could fix everything!
They wouldn't have to
break up the Avengers.
But no. Man, this movie really sucks!
-[turns off TV]
-Why does everyone like it?
Because, basically, their splitting up
was the best thing
that could have happened to them.
Both Tony and Cap had walked
in the other person's shoes.
Which, in the end,
contributed to a healthier relationship.
And even better, without the pressure
of living all together,
they could be friends, you know?
Splitting up doesn't accomplish anything.
How does that help anyone?
No, I don't want to see
this lousy movie anymore.
Sof!
Sofía!
[TV resumes]
-Your turn.
-Your turn. [sighs]
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
[whimsical music playing]
[Jimena] I feel like I'm stuck.
My papa, God, he keeps
randomly showing up almost every day.
Now it turns out that
my mother was to blame.
And Sofía is so angry at me.
Wow, now there's a hunk!
Now I see why you've been ignoring me.
Oh, come on, Brenda, tell me who he is!
[laughing] It's Gabriel!
-Your manny.
-[Jimena] I'm sorry?
How long's this been
going on between you two?
What do you mean? Nothing's happened.
These are his photos on Insta.
[scoffs] You're profile stalking.
I can't believe you!
Oh! I knew you would react like this.
So manic.
How do you want me to react?
He's my nanny.
I mean, my children's nanny.
-You know what I meant perfectly well.
-Uh-huh.
Things never go well when it comes to you
and my employees.
You and that accountant.
Human Resources still hates me!
Well, luckily, I've learned a lot
from those mistakes.
Oh, come on, Brenda, I've known you
since we were teenagers. Impossible.
[Brenda] I swear, Jime.
I won't let it affect my work.
And if anything starts to be uncool,
trust me, I'll break it off.
[birds chirping]
[Gabriel on phone]
Did you make the payments?
I'm telling you,
the seven of the ranches involved
have paid every month.
The lawyers that took the case,
they have all the payment receipts.
Okay. Could you send me a photo
of the receipts, Pa?
What can you do about it, huh?
Why are you suddenly interested?
The issue is, Gabriel,
now we owe too much money.
That's why. Send me the photo receipts,
I'll go to the finance agency
and find out what I can.
Give me a second.
There you go.
[phone dings]
[pensive music playing]
[woman on phone] As soon as you told me
about the split with Joaquín,
believe me, I was super excited, mija.
If it were up to me, I'd get you
an hour's worth of live mariachis!
Okay. Coming over tomorrow?
Do you really even need to ask that?
But you said that all you
needed was a witness' signature and
Well, wouldn't it be easier to ask Brenda?
No, Ma, please, I really need this.
Things are getting super complicated
right now.
Your ex-husband is unbearable.
Since I told him I was getting divorced,
he's always stopping by
to talk to me and the kids.
He's almost like a Jehovah's Witness.
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, oh, no, no!
Look, I'll go see the kids.
I don't want to hear your mom
poisoning you with her ideas.
I love how much credit you're giving me!
But I had nothing to do with this.
Even though I'm pleased at the fact
that Jimena actually made that decision.
'Cause it's long overdue.
Well, I'd better get going.
All this nonsense
is difficult to listen to.
Yes, oh, darling,
I'm going to miss you too.
[chuckling] Hmm.
-[phone dings]
-Right. Well, Mama, I ought to be going.
Okay, mija, I'll call
before I head there, okay?
[sighs] Thanks, Mama.
Love you. Bye, Mama.
Care for a donut?
[chuckling] No, thank you.
[Ernesto sighs]
[birds chirping]
Do many birds come around?
Well, if they have a reason to come back,
I guess they usually do.
I wish it was that easy with parents too.
So smooth, dear Grandfather. So smooth.
The truth is, I know when something is
bothering my granddaughter.
I take it you didn't like
the divorce announcement at all.
It's just a paper. I don't care.
Well, you're right.
The divorce is not settled yet,
and your mother still
really cares for him.
She just needs someone to remind her.
Even if I told her, nothing would change.
She won't really listen.
[Ernesto] Mmm.
[whimsical music playing]
But, you know, my dad's a different story.
[Ernesto] Mmm.
[fluttering]
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
-Hello.
-Oh, hi!
Your papa's been here all day.
Yeah, he wants me to
fix things with Joaquin.
That's exactly what he's telling everyone.
Yeah, you can see why
I want it over as soon as possible.
[exhales]
Jime, I was hoping we could chat.
-Yeah?
-Oh, I'll just show you.
Mm-hmm.
These are the payment receipts
from the bank account
the ranchers have been depositing to.
Where did you get this?
Uh [sighs]
[breathing deeply]
Um, in your room.
You see, I was well, cleaning up.
Leo's toys were everywhere.
I knocked the folder over
and I took photos.
Oh.
Uh Wow!
Yeah, thanks, Gabriel.
You do too much around here.
Thanks for everything you've done for us.
Helping's in my job description. [laughs]
Would you mind
sending over those pictures,
-and I'll keep investigating
-[phone dings]
[Brenda] "How's my favorite manny?"
"Wanna grab coffee tomorrow
at Dino Chips, or what?"
"Are you in, or are you out?" [chuckles]
[chuckling] Oh, Brenda!
-Got it. Thanks.
-[chuckles]
So, are you, um, goin' out?
-Oh yeah.
-Mm-hmm. Ah!
We have fun whenever we hang out, so
Right.
Dino Chips.
-Mm-hmm.
-[Jimena] Really?
-[Gabriel] Yeah.
-Wow.
Uh I don't know,
it seems like the worst place for
a first date with someone, you know.
-Yeah?
-With the crowd and all the kids.
-It was in the middle.
-Mmm.
Halfway between your house,
where I take care of your children
-Mm-hmm.
-and she has to return to your office.
Yeah, it makes sense. Mm-hmm.
You don't mind if I go, then?
No, not at all! Why would I mind?
-Great.
-But, yeah. Go for it!
[goofy music playing]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[crickets chirping]
[Santiago] Aren't those
Papa's house slippers?
You gonna put a spell on them, or what?
No, but he left them here, so I'll
hold onto them until he gets here.
-Hmm. Why don't we call now and see what
-No, no, no, no. I'll call.
I'll do it.
[phone ringing]
-What's up, princess?
-[Sofía on phone] Hello, Pa.
Hey your slippers are here.
I guess you forgot them.
Would you like to come get 'em?
Um, okay, I'll try to swing by tomorrow.
Okay. But do you think
you can make it around lunchtime?
-Then you can see everyone.
-All right, I'll do my best.
-I love you, princess.
-Love you more.
What? You can go back
to your room now, okay? Shoo!
[sighs]
-I'm headed out. Do you want anything?
-No, no, no, don't leave yet, please.
Come here.
I I need your help going over these.
The bank account listed in the contract
doesn't match the one
where the payments came from.
Oh, really?
-No way.
-Yes. Come look.
How could we have missed that one detail?
[inhales deeply] Seriously, you know what?
I think we need to put
all your investigative powers into this.
It's outrageous that
we didn't catch this earlier.
And the worst part is,
I have a last minute issue with Leo.
-Oh.
-I'm so lucky I have Gabriel.
'Cause otherwise
Uh, Gabriel?
But he said he didn't have to
work for you this morning.
Uh, no. That's what he said to you?
Is what you guys are doing urgent, or
or you can help me check this,
which is so important?
Well, no, it can wait, I guess.
-Oh, perfect! You're the best. Thank you.
-[Brenda] Yeah.
-Can you email me the photos?
-Yes, sure.
Comin' right up. 'Kay? Thanks.
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
Oh, hey, Sof!
Hey, Ma, are you coming home for lunch?
I'm pretty sure I have
too much work to go out, Sof.
But your Grandpa is heading over, so
[line beeping]
Wow!
[Joaquín] Morning, morning, family!
Anybody home?
That's really sweet, honey.
You're so wonderful.
-Time to get going.
-No, Pa!
Stay here, since lunch is ready.
It's rajas con crema.
-Oh, rajas?
-Mm-hmm.
That's very tempting, princess,
but I really have to go.
No, Pa. Because Mama
cooked them special just for you.
She's going to have lunch at work,
but she prepared rajas special for you.
-Are you telling the truth?
-Mm-hmm.
Uh, it was Martha that cooked.
[whimsical music playing]
That's not true.
Martha was baking
something else, Santiago.
Either way, I gotta run, princess.
I love you so much.
Take care.
-Be good. I'll see you soon.
-Bye, Pa.
But save me some rajas for next time. Hmm?
[whimsical music plays]
[music ends]
[roaring]
[indistinct chatter]
[dinosaurs growling]
[jungle sounds]
[Gabriel]
I guess you're not coming anymore.
[phone dings]
[Brenda] Mmm. What are you talking about?
Jimena told me that
[whimsical music playing]
[phone dings]
Need something?
How about a Dino dessert
to go with your coffee?
-No.
-Then, have a Jurassic day.
Rawr!
[Jimena] Hey, chica!
What were you able to figure out?
-That account isn't one of ours.
-[Jimena] No way.
I'm speaking with Zamarripa
to see whose it is.
Yeah, thanks.
What I want to understand is,
why the payments went to this account
and not the one in their contract.
We better call the Legal Department.
Okay, but did you solve that issue
that Gabriel had to take care of?
-Oh, yes!
-[Brenda] Yeah?
-Yes, yes, yes. Everything is perfect.
-Oh, great! Yeah.
'Cause Gaby just texted me,
and he's super angry
that I stood him up at Dino Chips.
-[Jimena] Oh no.
-He is!
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
But, um, you know what happened?
I I have so much going on right now,
and that totally slipped my mind.
-I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
-It's fine.
-See ya!
-Bye!
-You see? He got angry.
-Hello, everyone!
-Oh, there's my girl! [laughs]
-Mama, hey! How are you?
-I'm great, thanks.
-[gasps] You look amazing!
[laughs] I've been learning the most
interesting things about piggies.
Oh, well, Gabriel is
an expert on swine, so.
-[mom] Oh?
-[Gabriel] I'm sorry, Jime.
Brenda had mentioned that you,
I don't know, you needed me for something?
-But you never said what it was.
-Ah! Uh
Yes, yes! It was Leo Leo
Hi His magic lessons.
-Ah.
-What? Magic lessons?
But I'm self-taught, Mama!
Well, I should've mentioned it,
but so much is going on,
and when I was thinking about it,
you weren't there.
But
Find out anything more
about those payment receipts?
-[doorbell rings]
-Oh, yes! Yes, yes, yes.
Currently, it looks like the ranch owners
are depositing into the wrong account.
Next, we investigate
to figure out whose it is.
-[Martha] Hey, Gaby
-Hmm?
-A package came for you.
-Oh.
-For me?
-[Martha] Mm-hmm.
[Gabriel] Really?
[Brenda] I invite you to make a toast
with this at my place this weekend.
It's a package from Brenda. She's inviting
me over to her place this weekend.
[all] Oh!
[all laughing]
-The manny's in love!
-[Gabriel laughing] Oh!
You know, when I was a kid,
I was in love with Brenda.
-Hmm.
-Just like I'm in love with her now.
-[Santiago] Oh.
-[Gabriel] Oh.
Oh! Sorry, Leo, I didn't know.
But you don't have to worry,
because we're just friends.
Oh, Gaby! Um [smacks lips]
Uh, so I have an incredible amount
of work this weekend.
So, I was wondering
if you could please take care of Leo.
That won't be necessary!
Grandma would love to watch Leíto.
-[Gabriel] Really, Dona Victoria?
-Of course.
Wow, I really appreciate it.
-Your mom is an angel.
-Mmm.
-Yes, much appreciated, Mama.
-Uh-huh.
-[Gabriel] The boots are cool, right?
-[Santiago] Try 'em on.
[Victoria] May I come in?
Of course, Mama.
Unless you need something, ask Martha.
No, I'm fine.
In fact, I'm great.
Life is perfect, you know?
-Like the universe itself. [laughs]
-Oh, wow! [laughs]
Oh my God! That nanny of yours.
[mischievous music plays]
How'd Brenda get so damn lucky?
Brendita really hit the jackpot.
So, that little gift made
you uncomfortable, didn't it?
No.
No, I mean,
you just don't know her as well as I do.
We've been through every nanny.
I can't lose another one.
And with all the troubles at the agency,
Brenda is picking the worst possible
moment, and she knows it.
I don't get why
she can't keep it under control!
I think when you connect
with another person,
that really you shouldn't
have to control yourself.
Like when your your nanny
Esmeralda and I were sleeping together,
the two of us never had a problem.
Okay. Um Right, um,
but you aren't Brenda.
I think you should trust
in your friends, don't you?
Besides, honey, you can't go around
acting like everybody's mother.
Three's enough to go crazy.
Bathroom.
Mm-hmm.
[inhales deeply]
Well, I'm actually really very happy
for Brendita.
[chuckles]
[whimsical music playing]
[birds chirping]
You plan on selling those cookies?
No. They're for something else.
Oh, those look yummy!
-So, Leo, how's it going?
-[Leo] Mmm.
I mean, since hearing that
your parents are divorcing?
Oh, it's been so difficult
learning that nothing ever really lasts.
Ah. [laughs]
Well, you two seem okay
in your own way, so I'm glad.
-[Leo] Mmm.
-As for Sofi
[Santiago] Mmm.
Granddad convinced her that Papa
still has a chance of moving back home.
That's why she made his favorite cookies.
Hmm.
[phone ringing]
-Victoria
-[Victoria on phone] Hi, Ernesto.
I'm calling you to ask
if we can grab a coffee.
And have a peaceful little chat.
You know what happened
the last time you spoke of peace.
I ended up smoking banana peels
or some trash with you.
For three days
I couldn't sleep or urinate.
You should leave that happy memory
in the past, where it belongs.
It's just coffee, I promise.
As long as we do it
where I won't run into anyone that I know.
I don't want to be seen together.
You know, I miss you too, handsome.
[grumbles]
[breathes deeply]
Oh, stop!
Hey, can we just leave
those numbers alone now?
Come on, it's Friday!
Yes, but I'd prefer to check on this
right away rather than this weekend.
Because it's on me
if I get a call about it.
Can you imagine how bad
that would suck? I mean
we'd have to cancel all our plans,
uh, for the weekend. [chuckles]
[chuckles]
[phone dings]
[Gabriel] Jimena. I just wanted to
let you know that I won't be home tonight.
[sighs]
[clears throat]
Oh, hey, Gabriel. Um
Yes, you had already told me
about your plans for the weekend.
But, um, you don't have to ask
my permission. I'm not your mama.
-Okay, bye.
-[voice message chimes]
-So, hey
-[Jimena] Mmm?
-I haven't told you yet.
-Mm-hmm.
But the way it's going,
I think I'm actually going
to sleep with Gabriel tonight.
-Oh wow! Grr!
-[Brenda laughs]
Oh, I'm so ready
to get more than just some photos.
I mean, I'm not
in high school anymore, right?
[Jimena chuckles]
[Brenda sighs loudly]
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
-I know how you've been using Sofia.
-Been using?
And I want you to stop messing
with Jimena.
Let her live this new phase of her life.
Ah, well, that's easy to say
when you just show up out of nowhere.
The rest of the year, you're in San Diego,
but you come here, what,
once or twice a year maybe,
and you think
it gives you the right to, uh
[singing in Spanish]
to you, Happy Birthday to you ♪
[scoffs] Do you think that you have
the right to tell me about my daughter?
On the contrary.
No one has the right to meddle in
Jimena's affairs, do you hear me?
She's old enough to know
who's the best for the kids,
and who's the best for her.
-Three cheers for the birthday boy!
-[all] Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Jimena and Joaquín wanna
get back together.
All they need is a little push,
that's all.
Ah!
You know, I kinda think that
you are the one who needs a push.
Do you really think that
because I don't live here
that I don't even know my own daughter?
I raised her.
And I did it by myself,
because you were always at the office.
What reason did I have to be there?
-Certainly not an adoring wife.
-Huh?!
[all chanting] Eat it! Eat it!
For crying out loud, man.
How many songs
do you need to sing to that kid?
What's the matter with you? So dramatic.
You create tragedy out of anything.
And just because I came out of the closet,
that doesn't give you the right to think
that I can't speak my mind
about my daughter.
Do you really think I care
if you're in, out, or above the closet?
I don't give a damn about you,
maybe, at all!
Hmm? But Jimena's happiness
lies with Joaquín.
Well, then why don't you get married
to Joaquín!
[grunts in frustration]
Never again. You and I are never going to
be able to talk to each other
because you lack common decency.
Ooh.
-Oh, just ignore him, okay?
-[laughing]
He didn't have his medicine today,
so he's a little crazy.
Happy birthday, darling!
-Happy birthday!
-[all cheering]
-[knocking on door]
-[gasps]
Zamarripa, send me a WhatsApp
and let me know when you're coming!
-You scared me.
-[Zamarripa] I'm sorry, miss.
Here's the information you asked for
about the account where the ranchers
are depositing their payments.
Thank you.
-[Zamarripa] Have a great weekend.
-You too, Zamarripa. Bye.
[tense music playing]
Hello, Papa. So, Mama said
that she found your razor here,
and she made a batch of
those walnut cookies you love.
So when you come get your razor,
there will be cookies waiting. Love you.
Sofía, this is getting ridiculous.
I mean, you're looking for any reason
to make Papa come back here.
No, that's not true!
[gentle music playing]
[sighs]
Look, no matter how many stunts you pull,
Papa won't come back.
Well, you can
keep your family divorced then!
-Sofía! Oh, Sofía!
-Get out, Santiago! Go on, Santiago!
Get out of my room!
-Sofía! Sofía!
-Get out of here, now!
Why the hell do you have to meddle
with my life?! You're such a jerk!
[music fades]
[groovy music playing]
[phone dings]
[phone dings]
[Jimena]
"Brenda, need to talk. It's urgent."
[Brenda] Jimena.
Uh, how about we talk Monday, Jime?
Right now, it's happy hour.
Kisses.
[inhales deeply]
-[phone dings]
-Uh
-[phone dings]
-[Gabriel] Uh
-Mm-hmm.
-My bad, sorry.
[Jimena] I need to talk to Brenda
about something.
Oh my God, who does that? Is she joking?!
But what if it's an emergency
with one of the children?
-You're off for now, Gaby.
-[Gabriel] Mmm.
And the children are still with Victoria.
[whimsical music playing]
-[pleasant guitar music playing]
-[birds chirping]
[crickets chirping]
[phone ringing]
[horse neighing on TV]
What's up, Santi?
So, hey, we found a couple of your shirts,
and your razor, and some shoes.
Sofía has all your things hidden
in her room.
She thinks she can fix
things between you and Mama.
I think you and Mama better talk with her.
[sighs]
Okay, Santi.
Hey, I'm really sorry
for everything, you know?
And thanks for letting me know.
I'll discuss it with your mom.
Thanks, Pa. Bye.
Honey, can I ask a favor?
One simple phone call.
'Cause there's still someone
who needs to understand
that what your parents are doing
is best for everybody.
Pretty please?
[mischievous music playing]
[cat meowing]
-[electro music playing]
-[exhales]
Nice! [chuckles]
I just wanna feel you on my body ♪
[grunting]
Oh God, no!
He Help! Help me!
-[screaming]
-Jime Jime?
[Jimena screaming]
Be careful! Hold on tight!
[Jimena screaming]
Jimena, my God! What are you doing?
I'm here. You can let go now.
You're going to fall into my arms. Okay?
-[sobbing]
-[Gabriel] Trust me.
[panting and whimpering]
[screaming]
["Tú Me Llevas a Un Espacio"
by Los Aptos & DannyLux playing
[Gabriel breathing heavily]
I got you.
["Tú Me Llevas a Un Espacio" continues]
Are you all right?
[Jimena panting]
[whimsical music playing]
[sighs]
[Jimena] Oh, I'm so sorry! [chuckles]
Did I interrupt something?
Uh yes. Why are you here, Jimena?
You won't believe what I found out.
[inhales] It turns out
that the ranchers have been depositing
into an anonymous society account.
-What's the name of the company?
-[Jimena] Impulsora de Occidente.
Jimena, you have really outdone yourself
with this work, which is no surprise.
But do you think we could pick this up,
I don't know, maybe Monday?
'Cause I don't think the anonymous society
is going to disappear tonight, right?
-No, I doubt it.
-[Brenda] Nah!
-Do you know who the owners are?
-Doubtful.
Well, otherwise
it wouldn't be "anonymous."
But we can investigate that on Monday,
without rushing it and over coffee.
Right. And in the day. [chuckles]
-[Brenda] Absolutely!
-Of course, yes, yes, yes.
Well, well, I'll see you
on Monday morning, then.
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay, good night, have fun, kids. Bye.
[Brenda] Bye!
[door closes]
I think I should go too, Brenda.
-I had a great time.
-Mmm. Mm-hmm.
[gentle music playing]
Hmm.
[Gabriel sighs]
[laughs]
[Gabriel] Jimena, wait for me!
[door closes]
[engine turns off]
So, why are the ranchers
depositing into that account?
[scoffs] You're interested now?
Jime
I'm sorry.
-Brenda took my phone away.
-Ah! Took your phone. [scoffs]
What is she, like playing
high school principal, or what?
No!
Y You know, if dating Brenda
was going to upset you,
you could have told me that.
I'm perfectly fine with you two dating.
Don't be ridiculous.
Oh, I'm ridiculous?
[scoffs] After what you just
You're obviously affected.
Well, it appears
the ranchers were instructed
to change where their deposits
were going with us.
-Are they allowed to?
-Yes.
It's a change of instruction
for payment method.
Whenever there's an account
with a problem,
they use it to switch accounts.
And who normally gives those orders?
That's the problem,
because the e-mail account
comes from within the company,
although IT says it doesn't exist.
They're investigating.
[crickets chirping]
Hey, if hypothetically
if I had, you know, a problem
with you dating, you know, Brenda,
or an issue with you guys kissing,
um, what does that mean, exactly?
Would you have cancelled on her?
[phone ringing]
What is it, Joaquín?
[Joaquín on phone] Hey, Chimi.
Look, we really need to have a talk.
Your mother and I have
been discussing things, and
And, I mean, uh, we realize that
we are two very different people.
We've changed over the years, haven't we?
-Right?
-Yes.
And so, things aren't going
to work out for us.
No, they won't.
-Well, as a couple, we mean. Hmm?
-[Jimena] Mm-hmm.
And that's the reason we decided to get
a divorce.
We think it's the best for everyone.
Now, we won't stop seeing each other.
-We're never gonna stop being a family.
-That's right.
And I still care about
your mother very much.
We're still great friends.
Friends to the end, you hear me?
To the end. Forever.
Hmm?
And we want you to know
that this will allow us to
to focus our love on you guys.
Because you three
are all that matter to us.
That's right.
Is that clear?
Yes.
[gentle music playing]
Is that clear?
[whimpering] I guess, yeah.
[sobbing]
[tsks] Oh.
Go hug your Grandpa, will you?
[Ernesto continues sobbing]
Come on, Leo, Grandpa needs a hug.
Cheer him up.
[sobbing]
Cheer up, ex-Papa. [chuckles]
[Jimena chuckles]
Victoria
I just want to make sure you leave.
And thank you for opening my eyes.
You see, your Mama helped me to realize

has always been you.
