STRAIGHT

Staying in control

Short, quick play, looking for blocks.

But there's no one to stop him.

They immediately went for the wide receiver.

The score is now 34-0

And we're still in the first quarter, here at the stadium.

Well, finally, let's go!

He found an opening, a big opportunity.

Great play.

Thank you. And you?

No, I still have some. The game's good, right?

I like the decor.

And the rug.

Thank you.

That's the only thing I bought.

The rest came with the apartment.

That was close. Damn!

Damn! Phew!

Almost made it.

Almost completed the play, right?

So, who do you root for in the NFL?

I root for River.

Sorry! I thought you liked American football.

Yeah, I do.

I like the 49ers because of my dad, but...

The Packers are doing really well this season, right?

Yeah.

Want some popcorn?

No, thanks.

So, in our chat, you said you rooted for Cruz Azul, right?

Against the sanctions, the example...

According to the rules, he'll have to abandon the play.

So, what now?

After that, he gained 9 yards with this advance.

And then what?

Left his team in second, finishes advancing.

It's all good, right?

Yeah, yeah, it's all good.

Attention...

- What now?
- Like this, complete.

- That was close, damn!
- What now?

But he lost a lot of focus.

I agree, let's see the replay.

Has he done this before?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Third opportunity.
- Two, three. Two, three.

Well.

And just to comment that...

And then...?

They're going to take a break, they requested it.

The team requested it again for the coach...

to talk to the center of this game.

Once again

he complained about the penalties, and immediately...

And then?

came this play that stopped the advance.

- No way!
- What?

Who is it?

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Don't do this to us.

- Are you going to answer?
- They're doomed to lose!

Yeah, I won't take long. I won't take long.

I don't think so. Relax! Relax! There's still a lot left.

And really...

Hi, love.

And running what's left of this second quarter.

Yeah, yeah, sorry, I'm really disorganized.

You have no idea how much I've been working.

What's that? They don't stop.

Because there were so many defensive plays...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See you tomorrow.

Love, I have to go, my boss is watching me.

I love you too.

Kisses.

Done!

- Everything okay?
- Yeah, yeah.

- I just fell.
- Wait, I'll help you.

No, no, no, it's fine.

Three amazing yards.

Is the game good?

Hmm, yeah... yeah.

Giving your team a second chance.

Who was that?

To advance, using time for the offense, thirteen...

- My girlfriend.
- ...the rest to finish the play.

Oh!

Looking, looking. Still can't find it.

Is she nice?

So he plays and puts it back...

- Yeah.
- ...third opportunity...

Yeah, she's really nice.

Wow, that's great, so she won't mind.

To block the play and no one... No one found.

Dude...

I don't think it's a good idea.

We could have a threesome.

What? Women like different kinds of sex.

Men are always watching lesbian porn...

No, man, no, seriously, I'm not comfortable.

Hey, stop.

What makes you comfortable?

I don't know.
American football.

Great.

Now you're going to meet "the Packers."

Shut up, jerk.

Front door, open.

Hi.

Hi.

- What fell?
- Beer, my love.

- What did you bring? Food?
- Yeah.

Tamale pies with green sauce.

You definitely haven't had coffee yet, right?

Tamale pies?

What's up?

They sell them outside the Nutrition Institute.

- Love!
- Love!

Pasta and dumplings.

Yay!

Thanks. I want to see, give it to me. Give it to me.

I know you're really picky,

you've never taken the subway and drink champagne at dinner.

Of course I've taken the subway.

Really? Which one?

- Well...
- New York doesn't count.

- Who said?
- Me.

Look at that.
You fixed the machine.

Yeah, yeah, finally.

Do you have low-sodium soy sauce?

Wait, I don't know.

How long has it been since you went to the supermarket?

I don't know either, love.

Oh, I remember. Back to the tamale pie thing.

I think it's really weird, Elia.

Like that chilaquiles pizza.

- Don't call me Elia.
- Did you know there are chilaquiles pies?

- What's that?
- Where did I see that? I think on Facebook.

That turned green, sorry, black.

But to be honest, I also found out there are

- quesabirrias.
- Why do you keep saving this stuff?

Quesabirrias.
I'd like those. I won't deny it!

Love, you said you wouldn't buy frozen food anymore.

Eli, you sound like my mom.
So annoying.

What did you say?

What's wrong?

You like chilaquiles pizza.

I'm your mom.

It's true, I'm your mom.

I ask if you've had coffee, gone to the supermarket,

if you have low-sodium soy sauce.
Exactly, I'm your mom.

Eli.

Oh, the coat.
I'm sorry.

I promise I won't mess things up anymore.

- I'll put it away, no problem.
- I won't act like a mom anymore, I promise.

- Do whatever you want.
- Great.

- Whether you eat or not, whatever.
- Thanks.

- Well... no, eat, okay?
- Deal.

But I won't say anything.

- Great.
- Deal.

Deal.

No, no, no... you know I hate tickles.

No, please.

No, no, start behaving well.

Stop, I'll end you.

See what happens when you make a mess?

Let me go! I'll destroy you.

Oh, I'm so scared, huh?

Enough, enough.

Ready?

Enough.

- I hate you.
- I love you.

Come here.

Let's see.

Let's pamper the biologist, she deserves it, right?

Come on, this way.

Yes, sit down.

- Enough?
- Hands here. Here.

Bad day at the lab, huh?

- How do you know?
- I know you.

My supervisor hates me.

No one hates you.

Yes, they do. I haven't made any progress in the last three weeks.

That guy hates women.

If this keeps up, I won't finish my PhD.

Do you know how many job openings there are in the country for what I'm doing?

Love, relax.

Even Barbie Scientist can have a bad day sometimes, right?

- Today I had to sacrifice Britney.
- Britney?

Yes, don't call me that.

Call you what: Britney or Barbie?

I'm kidding.

Dr. Green insists on not naming the mice.

But I love it.

- They're adorable.
- Oh, Britney is your new mouse.

- Elia, where are you going? Love...
- Yes, she's so cute.

Love, I'm setting the table.

No, love, we always eat at the table, please.

Let's go, I get it.
Britney is the new mouse, right?

- Sit down...
- Why can't we eat there?

Because we can't.
I'm setting the table.

Wait, I'll get some water.

Okay.

Back to it, so Britney is the new mouse.

Yes, the new mouse.

But I had to sacrifice her because she developed leukemia.

CO2 asphyxiation.
Like Rihanna.

Except Rihanna held on a little longer.

Good thing she did, right?

But what you're telling me isn't that bad.

That's what happens when you're trying to develop

a cancer vaccine, my love.

Eli, listen to me.

Everyone knows you're an amazing biologist.

You just had a bad day.

The lab environment is really toxic.

That too.

Who is it?

Huh?

Nothing, love, work.

Let's go.

Guess who's getting married?

Sandra and Benny. In Le—n.
They sent the invitation today.

The invitation is for both of us.

- Eli...
- Vacation.

- Love...
- It wouldn't work, would it?

It wouldn't.

But on Monday you stayed at the office all night.

Love, I'm working even on weekends.

- Did you like it?
- What?

The jeans. I bought them yesterday.

Oh. I like them, I like them.
Are they comfortable?

Second round?

Second round.

Maybe all of this is nonsense, huh?

Maybe.

I'll put on some music.

- Air conditioning, on.
- No, not that one.

- System disconnected.
- Wow.

Sorry, I still haven't learned how to use this thing.

Whatever...

How was your week?

Same as every week.

You know, fine?
Exams, stuff like that.

- Maybe.
- Maybe.

So enjoy it, because suddenly, without realizing it,

you'll be working from 7 a.m. to midnight.

At a foreign investment bank in Torre Mayor.

No, I'm too slow for that.

Wow.

Smart and likes rock.

No, no, no.
Not at all.

Finance guys aren't that smart.

Smart people don't get rich.

- Look at Elia.
- Who?

Elia.

My girlfriend.

She spends hours working, mapping proteins and who knows what else.

And she earns less than the building's doorman.

- Wow...
- We, finance guys,

are smart enough to realize we sell

imaginary products.

But not smart enough to realize

they're imaginary.

Got it?

Sure.

I can picture you.

Sitting in your office.

Facing the Angel of Independence.

Thinking about how to attract rich kids to get money.

With that blue tie...

I got the sarcasm.

Actually,

my view is a wall with a poster that says "success."

I share the office with four guys,
and one of them always talks about

how he was the high school heartthrob

and now has a huge belly, this big.

Another one is a Vietnamese guy
who barely speaks Spanish,

knows ten words,
and three of them are:

"What the hell, man."

Well, four words.

I want to try it.

Hmm, delicious!

Finish it.

Did this job pay for your apartment?

No, no, I rent.

Maybe someday,
I'll have to work a lot.

I don't know, that's the only way
I'll be able to buy one,

like everyone else does.

And what else can I tell you?

I don't know.

For example, RCBs, "Reverse Convertible."

It's a bond tied
to stock performance

Pretty boring, right?

No, no, no,
I'm more into Bitcoin.

- I prefer security.
- Security.

Bitcoin is a much more volatile product,

but I get that you find
the digital world safer.

Millennials.

Aren't you a Centennial?

And what are you?

Boomer?

Wait, I want to finish
telling you about RCBs.

It's amazing how you can tie
a note practically

to anything that fluctuates.

For example, the price of the euro,
dollar, yuan, the weather,

interest rates,
even that game we watched last time.

Surely someone bet
on which team...

Right.

Your life is really boring.

So?

What?

Are you going to offer me something else or?

Are we just going to keep drinking beer?

You just come here to drink, right?

Since I still can't buy.

What do you mean, "can't buy?"

- How old are you?
- 17.

17?

Well, 22.

No, don't joke.

Show me your ID.

22 22.
22 and 3/4.

Weren't you 29?

- 32.
- What?

I thought you were 29.

Yeah, I lied.

My name's not Pepe either.

My name is Roberto.

Everyone calls me Rob. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Cris.

Wow, your name isn't:
"Ready to suck, versatile 69"?

Only for your mom.

"Ready to suck, versatile 69. Argentinian."

That part, I didn't lie about.

Yeah, you didn't lie about that,
or other things.

Sorry for lying about my name.

But what's the deal with names, right?

And with age too.

Whatever. It's not that big of a difference, is it? How many years?

Ten years apart?

Like I'm going out with a kid

Don't say that, no need. No need.

Twelve.

And three-quarters.

Well, whatever.

Can I start sucking?

I dressed up as a lumberjack to feel comfortable.

Did you pick sadomasochist music?

No, wait, wait.

It was on shuffle. I didn't pick it.

By the way, that's not how you drink gin, you know?

That's it, I'm done. I'm leaving. Had enough.

- What?
- Nothing, it's fine.

No, no, no, no, wait. Calm down.

- It's fine, really.
- Nothing happened, Cris.

Exactly, it's fine. I'm such an idiot.

No, no, no. You're not an idiot. You're not.

Then?

Come here.

Come.

Last week, after you left...

were you able to live your normal life?

Yes.

You?

Well, it's just that I...

I'll put on some music.

...that I I felt

I felt kind of weird, you know?

I felt bad.

Damn internet!

Yeah, yeah. After you left, it was like...

Like when you drink

four shots of those flavored mezcals,

you're having a great time, feeling good,

and then suddenly

you take the fifth one and whoa!

It hits you.

You get it?

What are you doing?

Why are you telling me this if...

if you haven't even finished your drink...?

- I'm serious.
- Fine.

- You felt sick, so what?
- I felt sick,

lay down, and got nauseous.

Nauseous?

You felt disgusted by me?

Of course not. It was psychosomatic.

Psycho-what? What nonsense.

Why not just say: "It sucked," and move on?

- It sucked. There!
- That's it!

Calm down.

It'll pass.

That doesn't happen when I kiss Elia.

Unbelievable!

Cris, I'm being honest with you.

I'm being honest with you.

- I'm just your joke.
- I don't even know what that means, man!

We've been talking forever, and you just keep pulling away.

I'm not pulling away. I'm just being honest.

- No, you're not.
- That's how I felt.

- Let it all out.
- I am letting it out, man.

- No, say it!
- Quiet, the neighbors.

What else do you want me to say?

- That you like me.
- I like you.

- Good.
- What else? What else?

- That you got hard.
- Yes, I got hard too.

- Great!
- That's it!

There, you let it out! Why?
Why do you keep it all inside?

Why do you keep it all inside?

- Done?
- Done.

You got hard.

- Is everything lost?
- No.

Well, whatever, I don't give
a damn about Elvira.

- Her name is Elia.
- Yes, Elia, sorry!

I don't care about
your problems,

or your nausea.

Come here.

Cris.

Shouldn't you be with
a guy your age?

A guy my age?

With an apartment like this?

No roommates,

who serves me top-shelf gin
before sex.

If you meet someone like that,
give him my number.

Keep going.
I love seeing you.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I love you.

What do you like?

Harder?

This is amazing sex.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Sorry, sorry.
- No, what are you doing?

- I like it rough.
- Okay.

- Babe, what are you doing?
- What?

What are you doing?

- I thought you wanted to try it.
- No, no, no.

- Are you okay? Let's just continue.
- Okay.

- Wait.
- No, no, no. Don't move.

Don't move. Stay there!
Stay there!

- Okay.
- There, there.

It's 9 AM. Wake up!

Come here.

I love you.

Me too.

Listen. Wait, wait.
Before I forget.

Did you confirm our RSVP
for Sandra and Benny's wedding?

I don't know. I don't remember.
Why?

Because the reservation
at Hotel Cantares

is non-refundable.

Four nights?

I'll work hard
to make myself available.

- Four nights.
- Yes, babe.

Unless Dr. Green
or your supervisor won't allow it.

I'll tell Dr. Green to go to hell.

Babe, this is amazing.

Thank you.

I love you.

Me too.

Sandra and Benny are moving
to San Luis after the wedding.

They'll live at Benny's parents'
house to save money

while she finishes her master's.

They've been together a year.

And they're already a family of four.

And you and I don't even
live together.

Eli...

We're almost 40.

Babe...

don't exaggerate.

We're light-years away from 40.
Light-years.

No, not light-years.

Time flies.

You already have gray hairs.
I saw one the other day.

I know. How was your day at the lab?

Oh, same as always.

Today my supervisor...

- Bad.
- Honestly, he hates me.

How about we go out tonight?
We never go out.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Is this on the house?

Only for friends.

Want to try it?

- What is it?
- Arsenic.

Give one to the girl
behind you

who's laughing
like a witch.

- Well, cheers, my love.
- Thanks.

What?

- We didn't toast properly!
- What?

- What?
- Oh, I get it.

I didn't say anything.

- Eli.
- It's fine, "only for friends."

- Babe, please.
- He liked you.

You're really popular today.

Hmm?

Invite him.

- Who?
- Cris, he's texting.

No, no, no, babe.

No, not him,
he only likes soccer.

Not my type.

But tell me,
everything okay at the lab?

- Bad day?
- No, I'm just annoying.

- Eli, tell me.
- No, it's all just boring.

Tell me.

My supervisor hates me,
it's a fact.

My supervisor hates me.

Two more rats
died in the lab today,

and I didn't even have time
to name them.

And now he'll think
I'm not working hard enough.

He won't think that.

No, even worse,
he'll think I'm dumb.

Nobody's going to say that.

No, he thinks all
women are dumb.

Men don't understand
how women are

stereotyped as
bossy, hysterical, or dumb.

Since Celia got fired,
I'm the only woman in the lab, you know?

Everyone else is a guy.

Well, and Patricio.

Patricio.

Patricio from my lab.
He's gay.

I kinda suspected.

That's weird.
I thought he was flirting with me.

But he's gay.

I mean, I think it's great.
But why did you think that?

I don't know.

What do you think is great?

Oh, I don't know because...

Why not?

I liked the arsenic.

You were just talking
about not stereotyping.

And now you say it's great
that he's gay.

I'm not stereotyping.

No, I'm just saying
I'm really proud of him.

Why?

He introduced his boyfriend
to Dr. Green.

Oh, you think it's "cute"?

Adorable, right?
Pato, the lab's gay guy.

- Thanks.
- Do you know Elia?

She works in a lab.

She's a brilliant scientist.
Brilliant!

We're really proud of her.

Congrats.

Let's talk.

I didn't say that.

- Why are you looking for a fight?
- I'm not.

- Yes, you are.
- No, I'm not.

Come on, I just think

nowadays is a great time
to be gay, that's all.

You get it?
The other day,

I had dinner with Pato
and his boyfriend,

and they love each other.

- That's great!
- Yeah.

They're moving in together soon.

Wow!

I think I get along
better with gays.

Really?

So, would you get along better with me
if I were gay?

Why? Do you want
to tell me something?

I'm gay.

Yeah, I know.

Always so put together.

And well-groomed.

You love those Pixar movies
and even cry watching them.

Anything else?

Mr. Incredible, did you like the shot?

You're more of a WALL-E
than a Mr. Incredible.

True.

Do you cry in Pixar movies?

I like them.

Anything else?

Yes, yes.

A house, two kids,
and a Golden Retriever.

To go?

- Pipo.
- Pipo?

"Pipo," I want our
dog to be named Pipo.

But one that doesn't shed.

And our kids?

Nico.

And "Espe"?

For Nico and Esperanza.

The blue team,

now the blue team is playing
on their side of the field.

Linderos de Aria, taking the ball
down the right wing.

That's how you play.

Manotas, how are you?

All good, actually...

Did you know...

- They're playing calmly...
- Potato?

when it's time to grab the ball

in my... opinion they
come to play here and

they need to play
with more intensity.

The problem is they're
pausing too much.

Thanks.

Who's playing?

Ugh, it's a Second Division team.

- ...this game.
- It's Cruz Azul.

- Exactly.
- What do you mean, Second Division?

What the hell?

They watch it in South America.

They're watching us.
Run, run.

To the bathroom.

- No doubt, no doubt.
- Got anything stronger?

Damn! My beer isn't enough?

I don't know. Tomorrow's Saturday,
we're not doing anything.

I think I've got
plenty of options:

I don't know, whiskey, mezcal.

Show me!

The famous flavored mezcals
of Roberto.

Let's see...

Passes the ball sideways.

Look at this, I've got champagne.
Have you tried it?

How silly of me!
Of course you have, right?

In Argentina, they must drink
a lot of champagne.

How did you manage to ditch
your girlfriend for the whole weekend?

Don't say that, man.

Nobody ditched anyone.

She wanted to visit her mom.

Why did I buy champagne?

Don't like bread?

Yes?

Drink these two.

- Both for me?
- Both for you.

Really?

Here's the first.

That was almost a goal, damn it.

- For now, he did a...
- I told you.

Second Division teams.

What's that? A watch?

- No.
- What?

You're the only person I know
who still wears a watch.

- ...with the mezcal because this one...
- ...it's the age, right?

- The age.
- The age.

Let me see. Can it play music?
What does it do?

- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Wait, I've got the bottles in my hand.

He's got the bottles.

Cris! Cris!
No, no, no.

No, man, let's...

...drink this first.

Alright?

Do you need to be drunk
for me to blow you?

Drink the whole bottle, then,
let's see if you get turned on.

Cris, better not even start.

Better if you don't start.

After two months, I think
all this...

This one.

Let's go...

I know.
I know, I have an idea.

Why don't we

talk

until the little hand,
this one here,

gets to nine?

Cheers.

Is that the flavored one?

No, I actually like it straight,
all in one go.

For the game or to leave...

You were the one who said it.

Relax, Cris.
I just want to drink in peace.

You were the one who said it.

- He's trying to pull something...
- What an idiot!

He still hasn't got a grip on it.

- After a while, you get used to it.
- To what?

I can't stand this game anymore, Manotas.

To drinking.

Damn, are you making word games?

For over half an hour. I'm Argentinian,
that counts double.

What do you mean?
What... are you, like, 15?

I'm 15 and three-quarters.

They'll switch a player
for the second half.

A little more energy,

dynamics, engagement.

So...

what are your plans for the weekend,
besides this, I mean?

Since when do you care about me?

Oh, no, no, no,
I was just asking out of...

Asking.

Curiosity.

When did you realize?

What?

That you like sleeping
with college boys.

I don't know. I don't know.

I think I always knew,
but I didn't really understand what it was.

It was your dick.

Wow, you really outdid yourself today.

I think I realized
in sophomore year.

- High school?
- Hmm.

Middle school.

Wow.

Are you hot?
No, no, no, wait, wait.

There's air conditioning.
I'll turn it on and then...

I already learned how to use it.

No.

Air conditioning.

No, no, no.

So annoying!

No! The technician didn't explain it right,
he said it was the green button.

Damn it!

Do you remember the first man
you fell in love with?

Wait, don't leave like that,
you'll catch a cold.

Air activated.

Catch a cold?

No one says "catch a cold."

Wow.

It was a guy from senior year.

Pea!

We used to call him "Pea."

- Pea?
- Yeah.

Was he hot?

I don't know.

Well, actually... yeah, he was.

He had a huge ass.

We played on the same soccer team...

Dude! What are you doing? Take that off.

Alright, fine...

Describe him to me.

Are you serious?

No, just kidding.

He was big.

Had more hair at 15
than I do at 25.

He was great at everything he did.

He had his own
fan club.

Damn!

I was the president.

He never knew.

Of course. He did everything right,
top grades.

Blond.

Blond, of course.

- Did you guys hook up?
- No.

No, he was straight.

Straight?

Yeah.

Told you, you'd catch a cold.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

So...

Pea was straight?

Yeah.

Straight like you?

Straight like you? Like you?

Like you?

Straight like you?

Like you? Straight like you?

This isn't your little hammer, dude.

She's definitely married by now.

For sure.

What a waste!

How many people in the world
know you do this?

I don't know.

I guess just the guys
who've been with me.

Unless one of them was drunk
and doesn't remember.

And how many in your family?

Our chances of hooking up
are getting smaller, huh?

Answer me.

I don't know, I don't know

Yes, you do, Cris.

- I don't know.
- Yes, you do, Cris.

Of course, you do.

But if you tell me,

you won't be Cris anymore,

that handsome guy
who goes to college,

- doesn't wear a watch, had two girlfriends...
- Six.

Only to become
the "gay Cris."

- I don't think it's like that.
- It's just that

we can't stand ambiguity.

Our society is obsessed
with labels.

If a straight guy
sleeps with another guy,

then he must be gay.

Even if he enjoys spending
most of his time

with an amazing woman.

Like watching Cruz Azul play.

No, no, no.
Screw you!

You can't have both.

You're overreacting.

You don't get it, Cris.

No, I don't.

You don't get why society demands
that you be gay all the time.

Well, all I know is that, in my case,
if my friends

met you,
it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

- And yours too.
- right.

Like finding
a golden gay Easter egg.

In this hunt for gays.
Who could be gay?

That bartender could be gay.

The soccer player could be.
Our president

- could be gay.
- I could be gay.

People think being gay
is like going to Japan.

- Japan?
- Yeah.

Like that trip you take
to find out who you really are.

And see how the other half lives.

Wow, you were so brave
for going to Japan.

It was India.

India, Japan, same thing!

They're terrified.

If they weren't terrified,

they wouldn't say,
"You're so brave for coming out."

Why is coming out brave?

It's like skydiving, man.

That fear of dying.

I don't know, Rob.

Before, men could only get married in one state.

Yes, I know, here... but... What does that have to do with anything?

Well, I'm not sure what it has to do with anything.

Sometimes I'm a bit slow.

A freebie for the goalkeeper.

Yeah, it lacked power. Should've placed it better.

Cruz Azul lost.

...a less skilled leg.

Can I open the champagne?

Yes.

The coach is weak because he doesn't demand anything from the players.

Cris, you don't store champagne in the freezer.

I put it on the counter with ice on the right.

See? That's what I want.

Everyone minds their own business.

No pressure to explain yourself.

You just wanted to have sex, play soccer,

and drink champagne.

Hey, hey, stop drinking!

- Just one more sip. Just one more.
- No, Cris.

Like Socrates.

- Socrates?
- Or was it Hercules?

- What are you talking about?
- No, no, I'm being serious.

- Yes.
- History of civilization,

the only class I didn't fall asleep in.

A miracle.

No, don't mess with me, idiot.

- I'm being serious.
- I'm being serious too.

History of civilization. Ancient Greece.

The philosopher king wanted to have sex with another philosopher king in the bathroom.

- Keep it down, the neighbors...
- In the thermal baths.

And at night, they'd return to their wives, kids, and responsibilities.

You should've been Greek.

And I'd be a good philosopher if I were a bit smarter.

You're smart, but you're drunk.

No, no, I'm not drunk. I'm great, see?

I'm great. I can talk, do anything.

You'd make a good Greek, you're very smart.

Very smart.

I already told you I'm not that smart.

You are. You're old.

- You've achieved everything.
- Stop the sweet talk.

- I didn't say that.
- What?

Are you going to keep up with your double entendres?

What double entendre?

Man...

I think...

I think that's it. It's time for you to leave.

Got it?

Come on.

Who are you, my mom?

Everyone should be like Socrates. Damn it!

It's okay, man.

I'm serious, man.

Do you know what they did to Socrates?

- To who?
- Socrates,

what the Athenians did to him.

- Weren't we going to have sex?
- I don't know, Cris.

No, no, no. I think we're done here.

You don't want to?

Let's see,

the little hand says it's...

You don't even know how to tell time.

- There are a few hours left.
- Enough.

Taking an Uber?

You don't want to be gay, do you?

No.

Actually, no.

Of course, I get it.

Me neither.

- But you know what?
- Hmm?

In my worst

drunken states,

the most depressing ones,

all I want to do is dance.

Dude, the neighbors are definitely asleep.

- Don't you want to dance with me?
- Stop. No.

- Don't you want to dance?
- Stop, Cris, please.

Well, I do.

- What are you doing?
- I want to.

- I want to dance.
- Cris.

I want to enjoy myself.

I want to have a day...

Look, I found a puppy. Give me that.

I want to have a puppy.

Be careful, it's really good champagne.

- I want everyone...
- Don't shake it.

...to like my dog.

The puppy's name is Lisa Mariah Carey.

So I go out for a walk...

in Polanco

with Lisa Mariah Carey.

Everyone looks at me.

The puppy and me.

Sometimes the puppy greets people,

sometimes it barks...

And sometimes it sings.

Want me to sing?

Sing Pixar songs, right, dude?

I don't know.

Let's see.

Understand, I said no!

Dude, the neighbors.

Dude...

Cris, stop.
I don't own the building, man.

Cris.

Ouch!

You're not that macho, are you?
Not that macho, huh?

You're a queen, a girl, you're gay, aren't you?

- You're not that macho, are you?
- Lower your voice, man.

You're a queen, a girl, you're gay, aren't you?

You're not that macho, are you?
Not that macho, huh?

You're a queen, a girl, you're gay, aren't you?

You're not that macho, are you?
Not that macho, huh?

Jump!

Queen
Whoever doesn't jump, whoever doesn't leap

Queen
Whoever doesn't jump, makes a mess

Queen
Whoever settled

Queen
Whoever didn't complain

Queen
Whoever takes our potato

Queen
Also whoever slaps

Queen
Whoever doesn't do what they'd like

Queen
You're born a queen, you die a queen

Let's play
End the queen

What does this son of a bitch want?
He's going to cry, he's going to cry

Let's play
End the queen

What does this gossip want?
He's going to cry, he's going to cry

Queen

Queen

Queen

Queen, queen, queen

Queen, queen, queen...

Air conditioning, activated.

- Main door, open.
- Hi!

Eli!

- What's up, Ro?
- What's up, Eli?

Babe.
Sorry for the... mess!

I didn't know you were coming.
You didn't tell me.

Breakfast was quick, huh?
Is your mom okay?

I stayed late at the office

- and then the guys called me.
- I couldn't escape.

Of course, and then they drank a lot
and spilled a lot on the floor.

- What's this?
- Babe, I told them.

- Look at this!
- I told them you don't like mess.

How awful!

At least open the window,
my God!

Well, at least someone
cured Roberto's OCD.

- Babe, wait, I'll help.
- No, no, no, it's fine.

Well, did you at least have coffee?

Hmmm, no, no, no.
I'm not hungry.

I am, a little hungry.

- Really?
- No, no, we're too hungover.

- Okay, okay.
- Alright.

I think Roberto
talked about you.

Yeah.

- He talks a lot about you too.
- Really?

Yeah.

- Quick.
- I'm sorry.

How rude.

- Elia. Nice to meet you.
- You good, Cris?

- Well, Cris, you were supposed to go...
- Tomorrow.

No, what do you mean tomorrow?
You said it was today.

Stop, don't bother him.
He's too hungover

after the rave you guys had.

Yeah, I'm too hungover
after the rave we had.

Sorry, Elia,
for being like this.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

Ro needs to have fun.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yesterday we drank like
we were twenty, right?

But weren't you at the office?

Yes, babe.
Yes, yes, I was at the office.

I left really late, but
this guy here is bad company.

No, no, no.

Ro didn't do anything
he didn't want to do.

- Tell me.
- Yeah, tell me.

- I...
- Tell me.

Mezcal, mezcal.
A lot of mezcal, Eli.

I'll call you an Uber,
Where's my phone?

No, what do you mean you'll call an Uber?

I'm making breakfast.

I'm not hungry, babe.

Don't worry, stay here.

It's fine.
You deserve new friends.

Me too.
And you need coffee.

What do you guys want?

Omelet?
What would you like?

Froot Loops, do you have any?

- Froot Loops? Yeah, they're delicious.
- Are you serious?

No, I don't have "Fruti Lupis."

"Fruti Lupis!"

Stop, your girlfriend is making breakfast.

I don't have eggs either, Eli.

- Of course, sure.
- Let's see.

True, no eggs.

Nothing at all.

Do you mind if we order something to eat?

Quickly!

No, of course we don't mind.

Actually, Rob has talked a lot about you.

- Really?
- He said you were a nerd, right?

No. No, no, Eli, I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.

But I am a nerd, what's the problem?

I just said you study a lot.

I'm finishing my PhD.

- One year left.
- Oh, that's great.

In what?

- Genetics.
- Wow, that's cool.

- Like X-Men?
- Exactly.

No, what do you mean "exactly," Eli?

No, no, no. It has nothing
to do with X-Men.

Here we go.

I study DNA methylation.

We're trying to isolate
the chemical processes that link

genetic predisposition

to environmental factors.

Right.

Nature vs. nurture.

Exactly.

- He's smart.
- Yeah. Yeah, very smart.

Didn't I say so?

I told you my girlfriend is...

the Scientist Barbie.

Well, let's start the day, shall we? Let's go!

Yeah, chromosomes are amazing.
And don't call me that.

Sorry, Elia...
I keep talking about it,

- but it's really interesting.
- I know.

If I wanted to change my personality, for example.

- Could I?
- Your personality?

So, are you guys going to...

Are you guys just going to sit here and chat all day?

I don't have anything to do.

Neither do I.

Mimi and Ilse finished chemo.

Didn't make it.

Flans. So cultured.

Wow! I loved him!

Yeah, yeah, he's an adorable pain in the ass.

Well, when we talk about imprecise things like personality,

anything in your environment

I'm talking about the cellular environment

anything in your DNA or RNA, anything at all,

can affect gene expression over time.

Your family's influence, your parents,

whether you smoke or drink it all has an impact.

That's called epigenetics.

- Put on a coat.
- Idiot.

- Idiot!
- What do you think, Ro?

About what Elia just explained?

The environment plays a big role in genetics.
What do you think?

The Patriots are losing.

Elia, one more question.

If, for example, Ro

wanted to completely change something about his personality...

Hmmm.

Like, I don't know,

he wakes up one day and boom, boom, boom

he's different.

Would that be possible?

Hmm...

I think Ro is fine just the way he is.

Yeah, I totally agree.

But... would it be possible?

Well, I think we're pretty tied to our genetics.

I mean, we can try to fight it, but...

Sure.

But changing personality...

Eli, love, you didn't tell me how your mom is doing.

- So? Is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine.

- Yeah.
- Elia,

yesterday we were talking with Ro about this...

About DNA?

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Wow, that's so cool! I loved it!
- It wasn't...

No, no, I love it when people find DNA interesting.

It's incredible.
The research field is huge.

But tell me something...

- Are you friends with Pea?
- Manuel.

Manuel, who
we used to call Pea.

A guy we called Pea in high school.

- I never mentioned him.
- Hmm.

- I'm a student.
- You're a student?

- Hmmm.
- What do you study?

- History.
- History?

Cool!
What are you working on?

- A Master's?
- Sorry?

How much time do you have left?

- Two.
- Two years?

Wow, your Master's is long,
you look really young.

Yeah, yeah. It's true,

people always ask for my ID.

I'm sure it happens to you too.

- No one ever asks her.
- Oh, come on, right, Cris?

- But are you?
- Argentine.

- Argentine, yeah.
- Yes.

- You can't even tell, right?
- I've been here for a few years,

but I already speak with double meanings.

Really? Wow, double meanings,

as long as you're not a banker,
it's paradise.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

What time is it? What time is it?

- What?
- Where's my phone?

- What time is it?
- I don't know, check your watch.

- 1:30 PM.
- What do you mean, 1:30 PM?

- That can't be!
- What?

No way! I forgot that
I got an email from my boss,

she asked me to come to the office at 2:00 PM.

- Seriously?
- Yeah, babe, I swear.

I thought it could wait...

I thought it wasn't due until Monday.

But

It was supposed to be for Monday,

but now it needs to be ready earlier,

because of the time zone,
the international banks...

- No.
- Foreign banks, that stuff.

- No, babe, no.
- What do you mean "no," babe?

- Tell them you can't.
- I can't say "no,"

especially not now,
I'm being evaluated.

- But it's Sunday.
- I know it's Sunday, babe,

- I know it's Sunday.
- I hate your boss.

Well, I'll tell her that tomorrow...

but today I can't,
because I'm being evaluated.

Well, that's that.

I'm really sorry,
but I have to go.

Good luck.

What do you mean?

What?

- You were going to the
- No.

Does that bother you?

- Yes.
- No!

No, what do you mean "no," Eli?

It's fine.

Yeah, yeah, let's order
some breakfast delivery.

I already promised.

Well, more like lunch, right?
It's 1:30.

- You wear a watch too?
- Hmmm.

Yeah, I don't need to go to the lab.

Ilse and Mimi
finished chemo.

- Ivonne?
- She passed away.

Hmm.
She didn't make it.

You know what?

Screw everything.
To hell with it all.

This shitty bank,
everything.

- I'm going to quit.
- No!

I'm not, I'm not doing this anymore!

- What do you mean?
- I'm staying, period!

What are you doing, man?

They can fire me if they want, I don't care.

- No.
- You can just be late.

I'm not going to be late.

- I'm not going to be late.
- You hate being late.

Enough!

Alright, you have to go to work.

Go, we'll stay here.

Alright then.
Okay.

Yeah.

Great.

So, I'm going.

Yeah.

Get something on your way back, okay?
Because you get really grumpy.

- He does, right?
- He does.

Alright.

- Bye, love.
- Bye. Love you.

Love you.

- Main door, open.
- Bye.

He works a lot, doesn't he?

Yeah, but so do I, you know?

- Really?
- Yeah.

Sorry.
I'll put my pants on.

Yeah, we're both workaholics.

- How long have you been together?
- Since I started my master's.

- Wow, a long time.
- Yeah.

- That's nice!
- Yeah.

You must share everything,
being together for so long.

Uh...

- Yeah.
- That's good.

Yeah. Why?

Nothing, just...
You don't have secrets? Nothing?

Well... no.

You two really respect each other.

Yeah, but we don't live together, for example.

Do you think it's weird
that we don't live together?

Yeah, I think it's really weird.

- Yeah.
- You really think so?

I do.
How long have you been together?

- Six years.
- Six years?

- Yeah.
- Wow, that's a long time.

- Yeah, I know.
- Strange, really strange.

Weird, such a long time.

But why?

I've tried talking to him
several times and...

But maybe you
can explain it better to me.

Explain what better?

This whole...
this whole living together thing.

Why does a man
over 30 freak out

when his girlfriend asks
to move in together?

Well, I think first,
you need to...

get to know each other better, right?
Before living together.

Mainly to...

to avoid surprises, right?

No, it's because of... because of...

... because of his job.
Got it?

his job.

And... his boss,
she exploits him a lot.

And...

that's just life.

- That's just how life is and...
- Life.

Relationships are like that.

Long-term relationships, right?

We have to endure
the difficult moments

and know that everything passes.

Relationships are like that.

They're commitments, they take patience.

You learn that over time.

Right?

You love him a lot, don't you?

- Yes.
- Yes, I can tell.

I talk a lot, don't mind me.

No, no, don't worry.

I'm leaving.

What do you mean?

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

- I'll...
- You're leaving already?

- Yes.
- I'll walk you out.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Bye, Pedro.

Pichardo, downtown,
heading out.

- You driving?
- My...

- My car is nearby.
- Ah.

- Alright, take care.
- Bye.

Hey, love.

You look beautiful.

Everything okay?

Very well, and you?
How was your day?

Very well.
You look handsome, love!

So? Did you manage to

save Yuri from dying?

Yes, I did.

But I need to tell you
something important.

It's not Yuri, it's Belinda.

- Wow, that's great news, right?
- Yeah.

- Adriana is moving out.
- Adriana?

- Hmm.
- Why?

Because

I don't know, she's leaving school
and moving back to QuerŽtaro.

But whatever,
that's a good thing, right?

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- Would you like to see the menu?
- Thank you.

- Thanks.
- Please.

Thank you.

Would you like some wine, sir?

Not for now.

Well, actually, yes,
I'll have a little. Thanks.

Did you not understand?

No, no, love.

- What?
- Adriana is moving out.

And what are you going to do?

What do you mean, what am I going to do?

Love, you can't afford
the apartment on your own.

- Exactly.
- Have you asked around?

Maybe someone at the lab
needs a roommate.

- An apart
- She's leaving in March.

Love, exactly, I don't remember very well,

but the lease ends in June.

What are you going to do from March to June?
That's a long time.

Are you pretending
not to understand?

No, love,
I'm not pretending.

Adriana is screwing you over.
Why don't you talk to her?

I don't get why
you're happy about this.

Your lease ends in March.

No, Eli.

No.

- Waiter!
- Yes?

What do you mean, "no"?

No, no, no, sorry.
Can you come back in a bit?

Of course.

... Great.
The timing is great.

Great for who?

What do you mean, for who?
She's leaving in March.

Her contract ends in March.

... This is a terrible idea.

Ready to order, miss?

I'll have the huitlacoche crepe, please.

Great.

And for you?

I don't know...
What do you recommend?

- Well...
- Maybe you could recommend moving in

with your girlfriend, right?

I mean, after six years, it's normal.

Like, it's not mandatory, but...

It wouldn't be crazy.

Would it?

I'll have the same dish she ordered.

Excuse me.

We live in neighboring areas.

Yeah, if we had a helicopter,

- we'd get there in two minutes.
- Exactly.

We see each other two or three times a week.

If we lived together, I could see you
even if it was 2 AM,

when you get back from your meetings...

Love, I've been working a lot.

Sometimes I come home exhausted
and just want to sleep.

That's part of being a couple.

I don't know if this is the right time.

So when will it be?

Elia, I came all the way here for you,
downtown.

You didn't come here for me.

You got a job
and moving was worth it.

But why do you want
to ruin things?

Remember, it was you who wanted

- to live with a roommate.
- Six years ago.

So living together
would ruin things?

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm doing something really wrong. Obviously.

You're not doing anything wrong.

Everyone thinks it's weird.

Who is "everyone"?

- Who is "everyone"?
- Shh.

The door is closed.

How long are we going to stay like this, Ro?

The balcony is open.

Ro?

I'm sorry, Eli.

"Sorry" for what?

Why this reaction? I don't get it.

Talking about living together is almost...

a taboo. A sacrilege.

It's... like...

- walking on...
- I didn't think it was that important.

What do you mean?

We've talked about this three times in three years.

And in those three times...

Either you're a sociopath...

or... something's wrong, and you don't want to tell me.

I don't even know why you put up with me.

It's your job.

- It's the bank.
- No, no...

It's not my job.

You know I don't mind working so much.

I'm the same way.

- And I'm happy because...
- Are you happy?

Why are you happy, Eli?

Why are you happy? Answer me.

Because I love you.

And why do you love me?

Eli, I'm not good for you.

Ro, love...

Love is...

...chemistry and intuition.

- And...
- And biology.

And if you want, it can be magic, but...

It's not... some financial equation, like it's worth it or not. It's...

- love.
- Eli...

- What you want
- is understanding.

- And
- What I want.

is patience.

- ...
- It's not your fault.

You...

If you were bothered by the apartment thing, forget it.

If you think it's still too soon...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

How much is the rent?

No, don't worry about it.

- I do worry.
- No, don't worry.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

Eli, I'm broken.

I love you like this.

That's not possible.

It is possible.

Can't you feel it?

Even broken, I love you.

Even broken.

Hmmm.

You didn't even try the crepe.

I'm not hungry.

- Did you set the alarm?
- Yes.

07:30.

- Ro?
- Hmm?

Do you think Elia suspects us?

Cris, go to sleep.

And about me?

Man...

Why do you like talking so much
at 3 AM?

Huh?

Well...

I just want...

to have sex again.

What? Man, man.
Wait, wait.

Tell me...

what do you want to know?

If anyone knows about you?

I don't know.

I've thought a lot about it.

I thought they did.

And now?

Now I think no one really cares about others.

People watch us
more than we think.

I don't think so.

I'd like to see you more often.

Me too.

Just being like this.

Always.

Always?

Sometimes I think about a future
with you.

A way for us to be together.

I see.

I didn't say anything.

Relax.

It's not like, immediately, now.

But maybe someday.

We could...

tell others about us.

I kept thinking about what
you said the other day.

That...

no one knew about me,

and I told a few people.

Did you talk about me?

About you, about me.

I told them about a guy

that I really like,

and he likes me...

and...

he buys me beer,

makes me laugh.

You didn't like it?

Put this here!

Give it back!

What did they say?

My roommate said he'd never fall in love with a man

because men's beards are annoying.

My best friend...

Well, she already suspected.

And then...

nothing.

Normal.

No one congratulated me, no one was shocked.

Elia suggested we move in together.

Who?

Elia and me.

You obviously said no, right?

Why would it be so obvious?

Because you're gay.

No, Cris.

What? You're pretty gay.

No, I'm serious, man.

No, you can't move in with Elia, don't be silly.

I need to decide soon.

Look at me! Are you really considering it?

I am.

Ro, if you move in with Elia, we...

We what, man?

"We what?"

We won't be able to see each other anymore.

Don't you get it?

What the hell!

Enough! I'm so stupid.

That's why I didn't want to talk about the future, right?

Didn't want to talk about what, man?

- You got like this in the shower.
- No, no,

No, Cris, I didn't get...

I tried to kiss you, and you refused,

- was that it?
- No, it wasn't that.

Are you going to move in with Elia?

Do you want to live with Elia? Is that what's happening?

That's what you said.

So, what are we going to do?

Are you going to use your lunch break

to go to the park and kiss me?

Are you going to come to my apartment with all my roommates?

- How's it going to work? Explain it to me!
- What the hell!

No, what the hell, no!

If you move in with Elia, there'll be no place for me.

No!

- Are you kidding?
- I still don't know if I'm going to move in

with her, of course it's a condition,

but we're talking about it for the first time.

It's a condition, yes, to face the situation

and say "no," honey.

You don't get it, man, come on!

No, no, what is this?

What do you think? You're going to sell me love?

Give me a hug and fix everything?

I don't understand.

Come back, I'm talking to you.

Ro, I understand perfectly.

I understand perfectly.

But you just need to...

stand firm and say it's not going to work, that's all.

- Is that what I need to do?
- Yes, like a man.

Wow, thanks for telling me what to do.

What's the problem? Don't you like being with me?

Come on!

- Come on!
- It seems like you don't like it.

It seems like you don't. If you move in with her,

it's because with me, really...

you're not even there for me.

Dude, I really like being with you.

I think about you all the time.

How can I explain it?

I don't know, man, I don't know.
Being with you is...

- what?
- like smoking crack.

- You don't even know how to smoke crack.
- True, I don't, I don't.

I just know it's addictive,
and I'm not an addict,

so I can quit whenever I want.

That's not true.
It's not that simple.

Being with you is...

How do I explain it, man?

Being with you is like
being emotionally drunk.

Who are you?
The romance guru of hookups?

Come on! You have no idea
what you're talking about, Cris.

Ro, stop talking nonsense.

You're the one
who wanted to talk, Cris.

Please, don't act like a child.

Yeah, sorry.

Sorry, I can't control
my emotions like you.

Cris, seriously, man.

I'm tired. Enough!

What, you think you're so smart?

You think you're the only one
who's been through this?

Are you asking me to throw
my whole life away?

- You don't get it.
- No, I'm not asking for anything.

You don't get it

because you haven't built
anything yet, man.

And not getting everything
you want all the time

doesn't mean things
aren't working out.

okay, sex with you
is a little better, man.

- Just a little?
- Yeah, dude, just a little.

I've been blown by women,
and it's not the same.

It's not the same.

- Shut up, shut up!
- No, don't shut me up.

- It's obvious!
- The neighbors, man.

I don't care
about the neighbors. I don't!

Why are you always
so worried about others?

Do you really care
what they say about you?

Why...?

You're such a coward.

You're a coward,
that's what you are.

I can't take this anymore.

Shh.

It's okay, it's alright.

It's okay.

There, there.

It's okay!

I'll be with you forever.

Did you hear me?

I don't get why
you put up with me, man.

Hey, look at me!

Look at me!

I put up with you
because I love you,

I care about you,

and I want to be
with you forever.

you're the one
who buys my beer.

I could've told.

But I didn't.

I know.

Thank you.

See...

I'm not as bad
as you think.

- I promise I'll fix this.
- Shh.

I know.

I know you will.

Front door, open.

Ro?

Ro?

Hey, Eli.

What is it?

Why all the urgency?

I made coffee... decaf.

- How was your day?
- Good.

Belinda made it.

- What?
- Yeah.

And I managed to prove the link between
children and genetic expression.

- Wow, that's great news.
- Yeah.

Well, in myeloid leukemia...

retrovirally induced in rats.

That's amazing, Eli!
Congratulations!

You're going to cure cancer.

You're going to cure cancer.

What did Dr. Green say about your thesis?

What did you want to tell me?

You don't know what I want to say?

Aha!

I've been thinking about...

what we talked about weeks ago.

What do you want to talk about?

I'm...

Why are you acting so weird?

I'm not acting weird, Eli.

I just think it's time.

For what you want,

for what I want.

And for what's really
best for us.

Don't you think?

Hmm.

No more of this back-and-forth.

And...

will you marry me?

- Eli.
- Ro!

- Come here, love.
- Why are you doing this to me?

- Yes or no?
- Yes.

Where do I put this?
I don't know.

Come here.

I love you.

It's all going to be okay.

STRAIGHT
