- How are you?
- Very well. And you?
I wish this was a present for you,
but these are some blueprints for Dad.
- Why don't you give them to him?

- It's heavy.
- [Nerea] What is it?
3.5 TASTE YOU
- Oh, is it a love note?
- [Valeria] No.
Some kind of invitation to a presentation?
No.
- Tell me it's a dick pic.
- What? No.
- Well, then I'm not interested.
- [tuts] Fine. Okay.
Are you prepared?
[helicopter blades whirring]
"I couldn't take my eyes off her."
[Valeria and Bruno]
"We were exhausted after the battle."
"She was taking me
to a place which looked safe."
[door slams]
[Bruno] "I should have been
watching every corner,
but my gaze was trapped on her figure."
- [gunfire]
- "Strong."
"Confident."
[alarm blaring]
"Protective."
[explosion]
[dramatic music plays]
"She looked at herself.
Her gesture showed no apprehension."
"And I understood. She was a goddess."
"A goddess of war,
born to see men prostrate at her feet."
"Men like me."
"She moved closer to me,
and, grabbing me by the neck,
thrust her wet mouth onto mine."
"Everything was ready."
"She simply climbed on top and mounted me,
and I penetrated her slowly."
"We tried everything."
"Everything I ever desired,
and everything I had never even imagined."
"Everything, depraved or not"
[Bruno and Valeria]
"became tangible in her body."
"It was her."
"Valeria."
Mm!
- [Carmen] Ah [laughs]
- [Nerea inhales]
- Wow!
- Okay, Val.
This is a whole lot better
than a dick pic.
It's kinda weird, but I was
a bit turned on by this dystopian Valeria.
- [Valeria] Yeah?
- [Lola] Oh?
- I mean, are you gonna answer?
- Yeah, but what do you even say to this?
"Well, thanks a bunch for that story.
I masturbated three times reading it,
but now I'm more confused than I was."
Wait, why are you confused?
Because this makes me
like Bruno even more,
but I've still got Víctor
running through my mind.
- [Carmen] Ugh
- Hey, hey, hey. Okay.
Víctor treated Valeria really badly,
but it might be in bad taste
to go "Ugh," no?
- No, it isn't that.
- Oh.
That's not what I'm doing.
My stomach feels awful.
With the wedding, and now the extra work
- I keep my nerves in here.
- [Lola] You have got to relax.
- Yeah.
- You're this stressed out now.
What will happen
when you advance in the company?
- I don't know. An ulcer?
- [Lola scoffs]
- Come on, take this.
- Thank you.
So what are you gonna do about Bruno?
[sighs] No idea.
Also, tomorrow, I'm meeting Chus,
and my writer's block will freak her out.
- I could unblock you in no time.
- [Valeria] Really?
- What?
- [Lola] After that email?
Fuck that man in every corner
of this house, if I'm honest.
If he fucks like he writes,
it's a no-brainer.
Something wrong?
[scoffs] I don't know.
Look, lately, you've been acting
a little raunchy, if I'm being honest.
Mm. Yeah, and for you that's a lot.
- Are you not seeing Rai?
- What do you mean?
I don't have a future with a guy
who thinks red wine, Coke,
and blackberry syrup is a cocktail.
Well, you did say he was mature
despite his age.
- Why don't you just give it a try?
- [Lola] No!
But I do want to be friends with him.
- Hmm.
- [Valeria] Okay then.
The other day,
I was talking to a colleague,
and that colleague
encouraged me to do it.
The problem is that my colleague's
relationships are the craziest.
- Although my colleague made sen
- I know that colleague is Víctor.
[both chuckle]
Don't worry, it's fine. It's about time
I hear about him without being affected.
- Yeah, girl. Well done. You are a goddess.
- You're a warrior.
- [Lola chuckles]
- Exactly. Thank you.
And maybe what I need to completely
be able to get over him
is to hear he's moved on,
he's dating other girls
He's moved on.
I think he's dating other girls.
- Oh jeez.
- Fuck's sake, Lola!
- That was harsh.
- But you said you needed to hear it.
Val, just be like me.
If Víctor doesn't have what you want,
just get him out of there.
Or you could just go with Bruno,
so you're not weeping all alone like her.
Let me remind you I'm not
the only one who's single in this house.
[winces] Touché.
[Carmen] I can't believe it.
You're so obsessed
with having a partner or getting laid.
[Lola] Come on, Carmen, you're the only
one who can fuck whenever you want.
- [voices distort]
- [heartbeat pulses]
[Víctor's mom] Are you reading it?
- Yeah. It's a book Valeria gave me.
- Yes, yes, I remember.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, but I'd better be going.
Mom, may I remind you
I'm not one of your patients,
so your silences are
never gonna work with me.
[laughs]
Valeria and I broke up,
but everything is fine.
- Am I allowed to go now?
- Oh, darling. [sighs]
I know what you'll tell me.
It'll be fine, you love me very much.
- Thank you, but
- You are an asshole.
Well, shit. [scoffs]
As your mother, you know
I'm obligated to tell you
that I think you're
really fucking this up right now.
It was a mature decision.
We made it thoughtfully, together.
I've realized that
I'm not what Valeria wants.
Víctor, you have to grow up,
and you have to do it right now,
or you will become whoever that person is
that you want us to think you are.
I know the kind of person I am
and the things I need.
Sure, you can fool yourself
that your thing with Valeria is just sex,
but you'll see that she moved on
and is with someone
who's less of an asshole than you
and who prefers to make her happy
rather than gazing at his own navel.
Hmm?
[sighing] Ay.
I do love you.
[sighs]
[Nerea] These are the samples
for the petal bags and
- [slight clatter]
- [Carmen] Sorry.
Please, everything we choose has
to be entered into the wedding journal.
Okay. Maybe you can show me the photos
of the estate? I feel bad I wasn't there.
Poor thing. She had to go around Paris
with a croissant, suffering, you know?
- [chuckles]
- Ugh! Well.
- All right, they're right here.
- [gasps] Ooh!
And this is the entrance.
- We do the banquet in the back.
- Okay. Uh
- What is this? [chuckles]
- [Borja] It's a photo booth.
So guests can take
silly pictures of themselves.
- [phone chimes]
- Ooh
A photo booth.
Hmm. Okay, a photo booth.
Good. Very, very modern.
Good. I'll go get my iPad, okay?
But keep going. I'll be listening.
Well, since the reception will be outside,
we'll have the chairs done in white linen
and with some arrangements of gardenias.
Mm. Fine, fine. I think that's fine. Yeah.
[Borja tuts]
[sighs]
- Look.
- Sorry, yeah.
I thought this could be
a good place for a candy cart.
- [phone chimes]
- A cart full of candy?
- [Borja] Hmm.
- A whole one?
- Of course.
- [iPad chimes]
Sorry. I have to answer this email,
but go ahead. I'm listening. Go ahead.
Okay. Well, for, uh the first dance,
we were thinking that we'd, uh
[sighs]
- Hmm.
- [Carmen] Yeah?
We thought we both could do
a reggaeton and twerking.
- Yeah, that suits us. Good.
- [iPad chimes]
Absolutely, and we were also thinking
maybe for your grand entrance,
we might rent an ornate carriage
that's pulled by horses.
- Just like El Rocío.
- Just like El Rocío.
- Olé!
- Very good, guys.
Good job. I mean, what a wedding!
And also, to cut the cake,
we would use a big sword, you know?
- Like this.
- Ooh! Doves will come flying out.
- Ooh!
- In different colors. 200 of them.
- Right?
- Yeah, a flock. A bunch.
- That's, uh That is incredible.
- Incredible? It would be so tacky!
- Why did you get it, then?
- Carmen, we haven't gotten anything yet.
We need you to focus
when we have these meetings,
and it would be helpful
if you could be present.
If I can't be there when I have to,
I don't want to be
a stereotypical ball-breaker.
You have to stop feeling guilty
about that promotion.
- I know, but
- [Borja] But nothing.
You deserve it.
You worked very hard for it.
And besides, thanks to your raise,
we'll be able to pay
for the wedding of our dreams.
Okay. Thank you.
Ah! [laughs]
- I almost fell for the candy-cart thing!
- [phone chimes]
Well, the candy cart, I actually
thought was a good idea
[Carmen] Did you?
- I think it is.
- Um I don't
- [Nerea gasps]
- I'm not sure. What is it?
- I made a match!
- [Carmen] Who?
- Nuria.
- The perfect one?
- What perfect one?
- Mm!
The future mother of my kids,
with whom I'll organize
the best wedding on the planet, that one.
She's saying the second-best
wedding on the planet, Borja.
[gasps] The candy cart isn't happening.
- [Lola] See you tomorrow.
- All right.
- Reviewing chapter two of the textbook
- Hey! Do you have an exam right now?
[man] If you need more guidance,
schedule a meeting
Should I ask you in Spanish?
"¿Tienes el examen ahora?"
Or do you prefer Chinese? "Ni yu"
[laughs] Well, I still can't say that.
Would you behave like an adult
and answer me, please?
[Rai] Oh, no, it's just I thought
that the adult thing was not to answer,
since you didn't answer
my call or the texts I sent.
If you had important things you wanted
to tell me, you could have insisted.
Listen, Lola,
I may be a kid,
but one thing is clear,
I'm not someone who begs for attention.
I'm sorry?
I don't know what you're used to,
but if a girl doesn't answer my calls,
I'll take the hint. I won't call anymore.
- But I
- That's called respect.
If you don't mind,
I'd ask you to show me the same.
And yes, I have an exam.
[inhales deeply] I've gotten used to
bad relationships, okay?
You mentioned that you don't know
the relationships that I'm used to. Well
I'm used to bad ones.
A relationship where he'd call me up
whenever he wanted to
or when his wife wasn't around,
who, when I didn't answer the phone,
would just send lots of messages,
way too many messages.

- [woman] Oh!
- [Víctor sighs]
- [woman] Mm
[woman] That was great.
I needed a fuck like that.
Yeah.
[Valeria] "Lolita made us meet one night,
and suddenly, everything got complicated."
"I hope you never regret
letting me into your life."
- "Someday, when you wake up"
- [woman] Did she give it to you?
What?
The girl you were thinking about
while we were fucking.
- No, I wasn't, I
- [laughs] Don't worry.
You and I were looking for the same thing.
To forget.
[laughs]
[sighs] Pain goes away with time,
you know?
And you forget it.
Or you adapt to it.
I don't know.
And in the meantime?
[chuckles]
In the meantime, this.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
You're on the right path.
- Oh, that's such a relief! I thought
- Mm, although
Oh my God.
I have some notes about the main
character's relationship with Víctor.
Hmm!
- It's getting a little
- Complicated?
No, it's toxic.
I mean, toxic?
The problem is just that they
want different things. Right?
She needs to forget about him
and focus on herself.
I remember there was another writer we got
some clues about in the draft, right?
Yes.
Well, I mean, they really like each other,
but they need to get to know
each other more.
They could do all that in a third novel.
[laughs] What if they're not a match?
Oh, they are. I've seen it.
In the pages of the first draft.
[both laugh]
Yeah!
Mm. But, uh
we're talking about fiction, right?
Of course we are.
What if it's bad?
And she ends up getting hurt again?
That depends on her.
She can't repeat
the same mistakes she made.
Which ones?
Attempting to save a relationship
that doesn't work,
like she did with her marriage.
Oh.
So you think she should try and see where
her opportunity goes with the writer?
Mm-hmm.
But the main character's Víctor.
No, that would be Valeria.
She has the power to decide
what happens to her.
Hmm.
Maybe, in the next draft I turn in,
the main character
will have made her decision.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
[chuckles]
It was a pleasure.
- A pleasure for me too.
- [chuckles]
[sighs]
- See you later, Cristina.
- See you later.
- Hello.
- Hello!
See you later.
Bye!
[Víctor] Uh, red wine?
[laughs] Oh, don't play the sommelier.
I wanna hear all about it.
I need to know two things.
One, who was that girl?
Two, that you didn't fuck
on this sofa, please, Víctor.
Her name is Cristina,
and she's just a friend.
[scoffs] Yeah, sure.
I'm also a friend of yours,
and you don't talk to me butt naked.
- I just took a shower, Lola.
- You weren't wet.
I'd already dried off.
Then I recommend you change your routine
because your body wash
smells like condoms.
[sighs]
I slept with her, okay?
All right? And the only thing
I have to show for it
is realizing I can't get Valeria
out of my head.
I'm sick of it.
[sighs]
[Víctor sighs]
Did I fuck it up with Valeria?
Yes. You fucked it up with Valeria.
But thinking about all this
just after fucking another girl
is a bit strange, right?
[sighs] What am I supposed to do?
Well
You'll figure it all out.
What do you want with Valeria?
[sighs]
[sucks teeth]
Then leave the girl be, Víctor.
Live your life.

- Hello!
- Hi.
Let's see, as your Moneypenny,
I have your planner.
At 10:30 this morning, you have a call
with the catering company, okay?
At 12 o'clock, a meeting for a wedding,
and at four o'clock, you'll visit
venues for the publishing-company event.
[laughing]
Hello? Shall I use my Siri voice
for you to pay attention to me?
I I was talking to Nuria.
Ohh, she's obsessing.
Yes, after a few days of chatting,
we're gonna meet.
Ooh! Hallelujah, hallelujah!
- I want a report from you first thing.
- Hold on! Who's the one in charge here?
Oh, by the way, Georgina's coming now.
Just for a moment,
to proof Carmen and Borja's photos.
Surprise, she's running late.
I hope she conducts herself
professionally.
Why? Did something happen?
- No.
- Come on, tell me, girl.
Come on, you have to tell me.
What's wrong?
- Okay, don't tell anyone.
- Of course.
I think that she's got
a bit of a crush on me because
because the other day, we slept together,
and well, well
I can't believe it.
What cologne are you using?
- I want some.
- No, no, Georgina was a mistake.
- Very satisfactory, but a mistake.
- [running footsteps]
Good morning! I'm sorry I'm late.
Let's see, I preselected the best ones.
- We can take a look at them together.
- Mm-hmm. Ah, huh.
- Which ones?
- Look here.
There aren't many, but some are very good.
All right, I can manage.
[chuckles]
[clicking]
- Oh, you were going
- I was gonna unlock it, yeah.
[Nerea] Mm-hmm. [sighs]
- [Georgina] Mm-hmm.
- [Nerea clears her throat]
- [iPad bleeps]
- Look.
[Nerea] Hmm!
Ah, well, then. I'm into this one
- Okay.
- This one.
- And this one as well.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Uh, you're blocking the light a little.
[giggles]
- [Georgina] Are you okay?
- Yes, she coughed.
She's, uh not feeling well.
- [Georgina] Mm-hmm.
- [coughs] The weather's terrible.
Well, then I'll start retouching
the ones you told me to.
Yes. I must say it was a good idea
to do Carmen and Borja's photos again.
They're much better. Hello?
- I'm up here.
- Sure.
You've just got a spot of coffee there.
[stifled giggling]
[clears throat] Well.
Uh, this is definitely decided, right?
And hurry up because I don't wanna
be responsible for any delays.
- Then let's get to work. Right?
- [Nerea] Yes. I have a lot of meetings.
- I'll see you later.
- [Nerea] Mm-hmm. Goodbye.
- [Miriam] Bye, sweetie!
- Bye!
Not even a word.

- [Carmen] I'm going to fall!
- Ah!
- [Lola] Don't!
[Carmen] No, no, no, no!
We could've met up to do something,
I don't know, call me crazy, seated?
- Yeah.
- This is more fun, Carmen.
- How are you doing with your diarrhea?
- It's not diarrhea. Only a stomachache.
It went away when I talked to Borja.
- Now I have a headache.
- Maybe a virus?
Yes, a virus made of somatic insecurities.
Since you started talking to Nuria,
you're more arrogant, aren't you?
- I wrote to her to meet up.
- [all] Oooh!
I mean, she's the one.
I know it. She's perfect.
For example, when we talk over DMs,
she's always on time.
- Georgina's always late.
- Who?
- The wedding photographer.
- And you can talk about anything to Nuria.
Books, politics, film.
I mean, some people only have
one thing to talk about, like Georgina.
- Is she cute?
- No, she's appalling.
- I thought she was posh, right?
- [Lola] Hmm?
I was thinking you meant Georgina. No.
Nuria's beautiful, and she's not posh.
She just puts time into her appearance.
- She's pretty great, then?
- She's amazing. We talk about everything.
- So she's perfection!
- Mm-hmm.
Even though she's not Georgina,
who you don't stop talking about.
[Lola laughs]
Bruno is coming to Madrid tomorrow.
- [gasps]
- He'll stay at my house.
- Ooooh!
- Are you excited?
- I'm nervous.
- [Nerea] Wait for me!
Everything we've done
has been long distance.
What if in-person doesn't work?
He ate your pussy in person,
and that worked, right?
[Carmen and Lola laugh]
- [Nerea] Hey, uh what did I miss?
Bruno is coming to Madrid tomorrow
to have a hell of a time with Valeria.
- Ah.
- [Valeria] I mean it.
There are things
that you can't tell from far away,
and, oh shit, we'll be spending two
whole days in my house, "cohabitating".
But the times you did see each other
in person, did you feel that connection?
Yeah, very much.
OK, then you have nothing to worry about.
- [Lola laughing]
- Yeah.
- Oh
- [Nerea] What is it?
- Oh, Nerea
- What's wrong?
- I'm gonna fall. Hold my hand?
- Oh, Lola, I think I like him.
Well, honey, then enjoy it.
- Mm
- Yes.
- Save your worrying for some other time.
- Yeah.
By the way, Nerea digs Georgina.
- [Valeria] She does, right?
- [Lola] Of course.
- Even though she gets upset with herself.
- [Nerea] I'm gonna let go.
- Hey, I bet you ten euros they fucked.
- No.

- [Carmen] Not too bad.
It's a deal.
- I have the pre-wedding photos, finally.
- Oh! How are they?
- Just incredible.
- Okay!
- Also I have gift ideas for the guests.
- Uh-huh?
Ballet flats for the women.
- For the men, canvas sports shoes.
- Right.
- Another idea, the same shoes, but unisex.
- [sighs] Just a minute.
- One second
- They're very reasonable.
- What's happening?

Hmm Yeah, everything was great.
And we spent the whole night just

- [laughs] That's my girl.
- But
- But? Is there a but?
I mean, when he comes,
he does something really strange.
Does he start laughing?
- He cries. Please don't tell me he cries.
- What?
Once I was with a guy who cried.
Since I like fucking so much,
you can imagine the drama.
No. No, no, no. It's just that
when he comes, he he says sort of
a lot of swear words.
To you?
No. Not to me. No. In general.
- What do you mean?
- [door closes]
[mimicking] "Fucking holy shit,
God damn it!"
[cackles]
- And did you say anything?
- No. I didn't.
Seriously, everything else is perfect.
Sex was amazing.

- I don't know, I mean
- [doorbell rings]
I can finally see I could have
something good and healthy
and get out
of that endless loop with Víctor.
Totally! I'm so glad that you finally
decided to get over
Víctor?
Also Bruno is very funny.
- He's ironic, grown up
- Val, I'll call you back later, okay? Bye.
- [dial tone]
- Wait what? Lola?
I wanna be with her.
[scoffs] Hah!
So what happened to that little boy
whose dick would shrink
when he heard the word commitment?
- Is that coffee yours?
- That one.
I've been thinking about it,
and I'm sure it'll work.
I know that I was an idiot.
I wanna take her somewhere special.
- I'll ask her
- Stop, stop. Stop it. You won't do that.
Of course I will. I'm certain.
- I know the things I'll tell her
- No!
She is seeing another guy.
- What are you talking about?
- Val met someone, and she's happy.
She's happy with this guy.
But I Uh
Víctor, the other day, at your house,
when I asked if you knew
what you wanted, you were silent.
- I was
- No. I will ask you another question.
I want you to answer me.
Do you want Val to be happy?
Then let her be happy, okay?
- [sighs]
- [Lola] Mm.
And so, to introduce our brand
to the northern European market,
it is essential for the image

that if the client perceives
the brand as local,

GODDESS
BASED ON THE NOVELS BY ELÍSABET BENAVEN
- It's heavy.
- [Nerea] What is it?
3.5 TASTE YOU
- Oh, is it a love note?
- [Valeria] No.
Some kind of invitation to a presentation?
No.
- Tell me it's a dick pic.
- What? No.
- Well, then I'm not interested.
- [tuts] Fine. Okay.
Are you prepared?
[helicopter blades whirring]
"I couldn't take my eyes off her."
[Valeria and Bruno]
"We were exhausted after the battle."
"She was taking me
to a place which looked safe."
[door slams]
[Bruno] "I should have been
watching every corner,
but my gaze was trapped on her figure."
- [gunfire]
- "Strong."
"Confident."
[alarm blaring]
"Protective."
[explosion]
[dramatic music plays]
"She looked at herself.
Her gesture showed no apprehension."
"And I understood. She was a goddess."
"A goddess of war,
born to see men prostrate at her feet."
"Men like me."
"She moved closer to me,
and, grabbing me by the neck,
thrust her wet mouth onto mine."
"Everything was ready."
"She simply climbed on top and mounted me,
and I penetrated her slowly."
"We tried everything."
"Everything I ever desired,
and everything I had never even imagined."
"Everything, depraved or not"
[Bruno and Valeria]
"became tangible in her body."
"It was her."
"Valeria."
Mm!
- [Carmen] Ah [laughs]
- [Nerea inhales]
- Wow!
- Okay, Val.
This is a whole lot better
than a dick pic.
It's kinda weird, but I was
a bit turned on by this dystopian Valeria.
- [Valeria] Yeah?
- [Lola] Oh?
- I mean, are you gonna answer?
- Yeah, but what do you even say to this?
"Well, thanks a bunch for that story.
I masturbated three times reading it,
but now I'm more confused than I was."
Wait, why are you confused?
Because this makes me
like Bruno even more,
but I've still got Víctor
running through my mind.
- [Carmen] Ugh
- Hey, hey, hey. Okay.
Víctor treated Valeria really badly,
but it might be in bad taste
to go "Ugh," no?
- No, it isn't that.
- Oh.
That's not what I'm doing.
My stomach feels awful.
With the wedding, and now the extra work
- I keep my nerves in here.
- [Lola] You have got to relax.
- Yeah.
- You're this stressed out now.
What will happen
when you advance in the company?
- I don't know. An ulcer?
- [Lola scoffs]
- Come on, take this.
- Thank you.
So what are you gonna do about Bruno?
[sighs] No idea.
Also, tomorrow, I'm meeting Chus,
and my writer's block will freak her out.
- I could unblock you in no time.
- [Valeria] Really?
- What?
- [Lola] After that email?
Fuck that man in every corner
of this house, if I'm honest.
If he fucks like he writes,
it's a no-brainer.
Something wrong?
[scoffs] I don't know.
Look, lately, you've been acting
a little raunchy, if I'm being honest.
Mm. Yeah, and for you that's a lot.
- Are you not seeing Rai?
- What do you mean?
I don't have a future with a guy
who thinks red wine, Coke,
and blackberry syrup is a cocktail.
Well, you did say he was mature
despite his age.
- Why don't you just give it a try?
- [Lola] No!
But I do want to be friends with him.
- Hmm.
- [Valeria] Okay then.
The other day,
I was talking to a colleague,
and that colleague
encouraged me to do it.
The problem is that my colleague's
relationships are the craziest.
- Although my colleague made sen
- I know that colleague is Víctor.
[both chuckle]
Don't worry, it's fine. It's about time
I hear about him without being affected.
- Yeah, girl. Well done. You are a goddess.
- You're a warrior.
- [Lola chuckles]
- Exactly. Thank you.
And maybe what I need to completely
be able to get over him
is to hear he's moved on,
he's dating other girls
He's moved on.
I think he's dating other girls.
- Oh jeez.
- Fuck's sake, Lola!
- That was harsh.
- But you said you needed to hear it.
Val, just be like me.
If Víctor doesn't have what you want,
just get him out of there.
Or you could just go with Bruno,
so you're not weeping all alone like her.
Let me remind you I'm not
the only one who's single in this house.
[winces] Touché.
[Carmen] I can't believe it.
You're so obsessed
with having a partner or getting laid.
[Lola] Come on, Carmen, you're the only
one who can fuck whenever you want.
- [voices distort]
- [heartbeat pulses]
[Víctor's mom] Are you reading it?
- Yeah. It's a book Valeria gave me.
- Yes, yes, I remember.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, but I'd better be going.
Mom, may I remind you
I'm not one of your patients,
so your silences are
never gonna work with me.
[laughs]
Valeria and I broke up,
but everything is fine.
- Am I allowed to go now?
- Oh, darling. [sighs]
I know what you'll tell me.
It'll be fine, you love me very much.
- Thank you, but
- You are an asshole.
Well, shit. [scoffs]
As your mother, you know
I'm obligated to tell you
that I think you're
really fucking this up right now.
It was a mature decision.
We made it thoughtfully, together.
I've realized that
I'm not what Valeria wants.
Víctor, you have to grow up,
and you have to do it right now,
or you will become whoever that person is
that you want us to think you are.
I know the kind of person I am
and the things I need.
Sure, you can fool yourself
that your thing with Valeria is just sex,
but you'll see that she moved on
and is with someone
who's less of an asshole than you
and who prefers to make her happy
rather than gazing at his own navel.
Hmm?
[sighing] Ay.
I do love you.
[sighs]
[Nerea] These are the samples
for the petal bags and
- [slight clatter]
- [Carmen] Sorry.
Please, everything we choose has
to be entered into the wedding journal.
Okay. Maybe you can show me the photos
of the estate? I feel bad I wasn't there.
Poor thing. She had to go around Paris
with a croissant, suffering, you know?
- [chuckles]
- Ugh! Well.
- All right, they're right here.
- [gasps] Ooh!
And this is the entrance.
- We do the banquet in the back.
- Okay. Uh
- What is this? [chuckles]
- [Borja] It's a photo booth.
So guests can take
silly pictures of themselves.
- [phone chimes]
- Ooh
A photo booth.
Hmm. Okay, a photo booth.
Good. Very, very modern.
Good. I'll go get my iPad, okay?
But keep going. I'll be listening.
Well, since the reception will be outside,
we'll have the chairs done in white linen
and with some arrangements of gardenias.
Mm. Fine, fine. I think that's fine. Yeah.
[Borja tuts]
[sighs]
- Look.
- Sorry, yeah.
I thought this could be
a good place for a candy cart.
- [phone chimes]
- A cart full of candy?
- [Borja] Hmm.
- A whole one?
- Of course.
- [iPad chimes]
Sorry. I have to answer this email,
but go ahead. I'm listening. Go ahead.
Okay. Well, for, uh the first dance,
we were thinking that we'd, uh
[sighs]
- Hmm.
- [Carmen] Yeah?
We thought we both could do
a reggaeton and twerking.
- Yeah, that suits us. Good.
- [iPad chimes]
Absolutely, and we were also thinking
maybe for your grand entrance,
we might rent an ornate carriage
that's pulled by horses.
- Just like El Rocío.
- Just like El Rocío.
- Olé!
- Very good, guys.
Good job. I mean, what a wedding!
And also, to cut the cake,
we would use a big sword, you know?
- Like this.
- Ooh! Doves will come flying out.
- Ooh!
- In different colors. 200 of them.
- Right?
- Yeah, a flock. A bunch.
- That's, uh That is incredible.
- Incredible? It would be so tacky!
- Why did you get it, then?
- Carmen, we haven't gotten anything yet.
We need you to focus
when we have these meetings,
and it would be helpful
if you could be present.
If I can't be there when I have to,
I don't want to be
a stereotypical ball-breaker.
You have to stop feeling guilty
about that promotion.
- I know, but
- [Borja] But nothing.
You deserve it.
You worked very hard for it.
And besides, thanks to your raise,
we'll be able to pay
for the wedding of our dreams.
Okay. Thank you.
Ah! [laughs]
- I almost fell for the candy-cart thing!
- [phone chimes]
Well, the candy cart, I actually
thought was a good idea
[Carmen] Did you?
- I think it is.
- Um I don't
- [Nerea gasps]
- I'm not sure. What is it?
- I made a match!
- [Carmen] Who?
- Nuria.
- The perfect one?
- What perfect one?
- Mm!
The future mother of my kids,
with whom I'll organize
the best wedding on the planet, that one.
She's saying the second-best
wedding on the planet, Borja.
[gasps] The candy cart isn't happening.
- [Lola] See you tomorrow.
- All right.
- Reviewing chapter two of the textbook
- Hey! Do you have an exam right now?
[man] If you need more guidance,
schedule a meeting
Should I ask you in Spanish?
"¿Tienes el examen ahora?"
Or do you prefer Chinese? "Ni yu"
[laughs] Well, I still can't say that.
Would you behave like an adult
and answer me, please?
[Rai] Oh, no, it's just I thought
that the adult thing was not to answer,
since you didn't answer
my call or the texts I sent.
If you had important things you wanted
to tell me, you could have insisted.
Listen, Lola,
I may be a kid,
but one thing is clear,
I'm not someone who begs for attention.
I'm sorry?
I don't know what you're used to,
but if a girl doesn't answer my calls,
I'll take the hint. I won't call anymore.
- But I
- That's called respect.
If you don't mind,
I'd ask you to show me the same.
And yes, I have an exam.
[inhales deeply] I've gotten used to
bad relationships, okay?
You mentioned that you don't know
the relationships that I'm used to. Well
I'm used to bad ones.
A relationship where he'd call me up
whenever he wanted to
or when his wife wasn't around,
who, when I didn't answer the phone,
would just send lots of messages,
way too many messages.

character's relationship with Víctor.
Hmm!
- It's getting a little
- Complicated?
No, it's toxic.
I mean, toxic?
The problem is just that they
want different things. Right?
She needs to forget about him
and focus on herself.
I remember there was another writer we got
some clues about in the draft, right?
Yes.
Well, I mean, they really like each other,
but they need to get to know
each other more.
They could do all that in a third novel.
[laughs] What if they're not a match?
Oh, they are. I've seen it.
In the pages of the first draft.
[both laugh]
Yeah!
Mm. But, uh
we're talking about fiction, right?
Of course we are.
What if it's bad?
And she ends up getting hurt again?
That depends on her.
She can't repeat
the same mistakes she made.
Which ones?
Attempting to save a relationship
that doesn't work,
like she did with her marriage.
Oh.
So you think she should try and see where
her opportunity goes with the writer?
Mm-hmm.
But the main character's Víctor.
No, that would be Valeria.
She has the power to decide
what happens to her.
Hmm.
Maybe, in the next draft I turn in,
the main character
will have made her decision.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
[chuckles]
It was a pleasure.
- A pleasure for me too.
- [chuckles]
[sighs]
- See you later, Cristina.
- See you later.
- Hello.
- Hello!
See you later.
Bye!
[Víctor] Uh, red wine?
[laughs] Oh, don't play the sommelier.
I wanna hear all about it.
I need to know two things.
One, who was that girl?
Two, that you didn't fuck
on this sofa, please, Víctor.
Her name is Cristina,
and she's just a friend.
[scoffs] Yeah, sure.
I'm also a friend of yours,
and you don't talk to me butt naked.
- I just took a shower, Lola.
- You weren't wet.
I'd already dried off.
Then I recommend you change your routine
because your body wash
smells like condoms.
[sighs]
I slept with her, okay?
All right? And the only thing
I have to show for it
is realizing I can't get Valeria
out of my head.
I'm sick of it.
[sighs]
[Víctor sighs]
Did I fuck it up with Valeria?
Yes. You fucked it up with Valeria.
But thinking about all this
just after fucking another girl
is a bit strange, right?
[sighs] What am I supposed to do?
Well
You'll figure it all out.
What do you want with Valeria?
[sighs]
[sucks teeth]
Then leave the girl be, Víctor.
Live your life.

- Hello!
- Hi.
Let's see, as your Moneypenny,
I have your planner.
At 10:30 this morning, you have a call
with the catering company, okay?
At 12 o'clock, a meeting for a wedding,
and at four o'clock, you'll visit
venues for the publishing-company event.
[laughing]
Hello? Shall I use my Siri voice
for you to pay attention to me?
I I was talking to Nuria.
Ohh, she's obsessing.
Yes, after a few days of chatting,
we're gonna meet.
Ooh! Hallelujah, hallelujah!
- I want a report from you first thing.
- Hold on! Who's the one in charge here?
Oh, by the way, Georgina's coming now.
Just for a moment,
to proof Carmen and Borja's photos.
Surprise, she's running late.
I hope she conducts herself
professionally.
Why? Did something happen?
- No.
- Come on, tell me, girl.
Come on, you have to tell me.
What's wrong?
- Okay, don't tell anyone.
- Of course.
I think that she's got
a bit of a crush on me because
because the other day, we slept together,
and well, well
I can't believe it.
What cologne are you using?
- I want some.
- No, no, Georgina was a mistake.
- Very satisfactory, but a mistake.
- [running footsteps]
Good morning! I'm sorry I'm late.
Let's see, I preselected the best ones.
- We can take a look at them together.
- Mm-hmm. Ah, huh.
- Which ones?
- Look here.
There aren't many, but some are very good.
All right, I can manage.
[chuckles]
[clicking]
- Oh, you were going
- I was gonna unlock it, yeah.
[Nerea] Mm-hmm. [sighs]
- [Georgina] Mm-hmm.
- [Nerea clears her throat]
- [iPad bleeps]
- Look.
[Nerea] Hmm!
Ah, well, then. I'm into this one
- Okay.
- This one.
- And this one as well.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Uh, you're blocking the light a little.
[giggles]
- [Georgina] Are you okay?
- Yes, she coughed.
She's, uh not feeling well.
- [Georgina] Mm-hmm.
- [coughs] The weather's terrible.
Well, then I'll start retouching
the ones you told me to.
Yes. I must say it was a good idea
to do Carmen and Borja's photos again.
They're much better. Hello?
- I'm up here.
- Sure.
You've just got a spot of coffee there.
[stifled giggling]
[clears throat] Well.
Uh, this is definitely decided, right?
And hurry up because I don't wanna
be responsible for any delays.
- Then let's get to work. Right?
- [Nerea] Yes. I have a lot of meetings.
- I'll see you later.
- [Nerea] Mm-hmm. Goodbye.
- [Miriam] Bye, sweetie!
- Bye!
Not even a word.

We could've met up to do something,
I don't know, call me crazy, seated?
- Yeah.
- This is more fun, Carmen.
- How are you doing with your diarrhea?
- It's not diarrhea. Only a stomachache.
It went away when I talked to Borja.
- Now I have a headache.
- Maybe a virus?
Yes, a virus made of somatic insecurities.
Since you started talking to Nuria,
you're more arrogant, aren't you?
- I wrote to her to meet up.
- [all] Oooh!
I mean, she's the one.
I know it. She's perfect.
For example, when we talk over DMs,
she's always on time.
- Georgina's always late.
- Who?
- The wedding photographer.
- And you can talk about anything to Nuria.
Books, politics, film.
I mean, some people only have
one thing to talk about, like Georgina.
- Is she cute?
- No, she's appalling.
- I thought she was posh, right?
- [Lola] Hmm?
I was thinking you meant Georgina. No.
Nuria's beautiful, and she's not posh.
She just puts time into her appearance.
- She's pretty great, then?
- She's amazing. We talk about everything.
- So she's perfection!
- Mm-hmm.
Even though she's not Georgina,
who you don't stop talking about.

Bruno is coming to Madrid tomorrow.
- [gasps]
- He'll stay at my house.
- Ooooh!
- Are you excited?
- I'm nervous.
- [Nerea] Wait for me!
Everything we've done
has been long distance.
What if in-person doesn't work?
He ate your pussy in person,
and that worked, right?
[Carmen and Lola laugh]
- [Nerea] Hey, uh what did I miss?
Bruno is coming to Madrid tomorrow
to have a hell of a time with Valeria.
- Ah.
- [Valeria] I mean it.
There are things
that you can't tell from far away,
and, oh shit, we'll be spending two
whole days in my house, "cohabitating".
But the times you did see each other
in person, did you feel that connection?
Yeah, very much.
OK, then you have nothing to worry about.
- [Lola laughing]
- Yeah.
- Oh
- [Nerea] What is it?
- Oh, Nerea
- What's wrong?
- I'm gonna fall. Hold my hand?
- Oh, Lola, I think I like him.
Well, honey, then enjoy it.
- Mm
- Yes.
- Save your worrying for some other time.
- Yeah.
By the way, Nerea digs Georgina.
- [Valeria] She does, right?
- [Lola] Of course.
- Even though she gets upset with herself.
- [Nerea] I'm gonna let go.
- Hey, I bet you ten euros they fucked.
- No.
- [Nerea] Balance.
- [Carmen] Not too bad.
It's a deal.
- I have the pre-wedding photos, finally.
- Oh! How are they?
- Just incredible.
- Okay!
- Also I have gift ideas for the guests.
- Uh-huh?
Ballet flats for the women.
- For the men, canvas sports shoes.
- Right.
- Another idea, the same shoes, but unisex.
- [sighs] Just a minute.
- One second
- They're very reasonable.
- What's happening?
- I feel sick.
- You need some air.
- [retches]
- [Lola] Carmen!
- You're all right.
[Lola] Oh!
Are you okay?
I just mentioned the wedding to her
and bleurgh.
Carmen, this whole somatic thing
Your stress is getting unmanageable.
- Don't you think?

Once I was with a guy who cried.
Since I like fucking so much,
you can imagine the drama.
No. No, no, no. It's just that

I've been thinking about it,
and I'm sure it'll work.
I know that I was an idiot.
I wanna take her somewhere special.
- I'll ask her
- Stop, stop. Stop it. You won't do that.
Of course I will. I'm certain.
- I know the things I'll tell her
- No!
She is seeing another guy.
- What are you talking about?
- Val met someone, and she's happy.
She's happy with this guy.
But I Uh
Víctor, the other day, at your house,
when I asked if you knew
what you wanted, you were silent.

I want you to answer me.
Do you want Val to be happy?
