Stones. Midnight Rock on 91.3.

Hey, Memo. It's late.

I'm coming.

Stayed up late to do homework?

Well, hurry up. Let's go.

I'm coming.

I'm feeling the pollution already.

I'm wrecked.

- Thanks for watering my plants. - Pascualito.

Bring everything from the taxi.

Okay, I'll check it out. Welcome.

Dear!

- How are you, dear? - Good.

- Yes? - You arrived early.

We missed you so much that we took the first flight home.

Just plug it into the TV.

We can use it when you're back from school.

- Okay. - Yeah?

I have to go, I'm meeting a friend before class.

You've got a friend?

Yeah, many.

Many?

Hey! That's wonderful news!

See? I told you.

You just had to put some effort into it. Congrats!

You should invite all of them and use the karaoke.

- Great idea. - For you, I mean.

Okay, but I don't know if they can come.

They're all gonna love it. Just ask them.

Yes. We're very proud of you, honey.

Very.

- Where were you? It's late. - My parents just got back.

Okay. But we have business to do.

Let's do this. Where were they?

In San Diego.

The privileged classes.

Don't even count it, Memo.

It's 5 pesos short, but I'll pay tomorrow.

- Can I? - Fine.

Thanks, Memo.

You're a real friend.

Are you going to the party?

It'll be better than the last one.

- It was amazing, right? - I wasn't there.

Really?

I could swear I saw you dancing.

- No. - You've got to come then.

We're having some peach cocktails.

The ones girls love.

I'll let you know. Thanks.

You're the man, Memo.

I'm not angry at you, Memo.

But Tenoch gave me your job.

I get it.

- I'm the laughing stock. - No.

I think they've forgotten about it.

Faggot.

I'm getting it less now.

You're taking it well.

I want to be useful for our business. It's all I have.

What about the video store?

- The store? - Be careful around him, Memo.

Come on, Alex. You're important.

You staple the papers and put them into folders.

It's not easy.

You've improved. You're using less staples now.

- I can do more. - He's right.

- Give us more responsibilities. - You're taking over Marifer.

That's work, not responsibilities.

- It's the same. - No, it's not.

We want to make decisions.

We never said you were the boss.

This business was my idea.

You should not take us for granted.

We're friends, not employees.

Hey...

See you later.

Benny, but hit it right.

- What? - Grab paper and a pen.

Why? Is there a pop quiz? You didn't warn us!

No. Calm down, Benny. It's not a test.

The thing is,

I was at a café

grading your papers, remember?

I went to ask for some sugar at the counter,

and when I came back,

they were gone.

They just vanished.

Someone took them.

So, I'm asking you to write them again.

- Yeah? - Right now?

Don't worry, you'll have the whole class to turn it in.

What's "right now"?

What is it? Are you all right?

- Memo? - Memo!

Memo!

Are you okay?

Is he fine?

Take him to the nurse's office!

- Yes! - Take him!

Go, go, go, go!

Let's see, can someone help me? Help me.

Let's see. Make room.

- Erick, come! Let's see. - Please. Let's see.

Carefully.

Let's check your heart.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

What is it?

Nothing, it's a glucose decompensation, nothing else.

What can we do?

Give him cookies or some orange juice. I'll bring some.

You stay here, and don't move.

You could faint again. I'll be right back.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Feeling better?

A bit.

Maybe we can talk for a bit.

I wanted to know how you're adapting to the school.

Good.

We're both new here.

Being new can be hard.

People can ask you to do stuff

and we might just want to fit in.

I don't do that.

You're adapting to my class quite well.

- Your English is good. - Average.

I liked your paper.

You write very well.

Well, just like every one of your classmates.

For example, Marifer.

She's an excellent writer.

But she kinda wrote like you in her paper.

She did?

It's a bummer they got lost.

A bummer.

Do you have a computer at home?

Yes, but everybody has one.

Most of them.

It's the trend.

You are not what you look like, Memo.

I've got to go.

- Truth is... - Where to?

- I need to pee. - What about your glucose?

I think it went up again.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's obvious, she knows.

She should tell us.

Teachers love messing with us.

They have lots of free time.

We need to do something.

Memo can't faint every class.

We should do nothing.

- And you want responsibilities? - Look.

If she suspects something,

let's close shop and reopen

when things settle down.

We can't do that. Our best season is coming.

Midterms, the impossible test!

What's that?

Miss Esperanza's Physics test.

Almost no one passes.

Everything has a consequence.

We got into this, let's take the fall.

You've become cynical since you befriended the skaters.

But she's here, right? It's been ages.

You do know I'm right here.

Daniela's right.

We don't know if you're in or you're out.

I'm not talking to you.

- Hey, wanna come to my house? - Why?

We've got a brand-new karaoke we can try out.

I can't, I've got work.

Great, then I'm going.

Me too.

Fine, I'm going too.

Do you really mean it?

Hi, Dani!

May I join you?

- This may interest you. - Okay.

Remember the guy you danced with at my party?

He asked me for your phone number.

What do I do? I'm excited!

- I don't know. - He's really cool.

He's nice too. You'd hit it off.

- Why do you say I'm nice? - Because you are.

We should be friends.

My friends can be jerks sometimes.

Pau scares me sometimes.

You don't know me, Mariana.

I'm not nice. I'm the opposite of nice.

We can't be friends.

Okay. As you wish.

Mariana, I was looking for you.

Yes, I was too.

- Why were you talking to her? - I don't know.

Diego.

Come on, the ramp looks neat.

Last time I almost broke my coccyx.

- What's a coccyx? - I don't know, but it hurts.

I swear it won't break this time.

I can't go.

We'll tell Natas he should try it first, and then you decide.

It's not that. I'm meeting my friends.

My friends... Ex co-workers.

Whatever.

Don't go if you don't want to.

Life's short.

I promised Memo.

He bought a karaoke set or something like that.

A karaoke?

What's up?

Now you're Mariana's friend?

I saw you together.

Don't worry. I won't tell her.

You're ruining everything.

- What am I ruining? - Everything.

After what we did? We made love, Daniela.

- We didn't make love. - What?

We just had sex. And it wasn't good.

- You're lying. - It was fast and it hurt.

Daniela!

- Don't talk to me at school. - Then...

where can I talk to you?

12, 13, 14, 15...

It's your turn.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight...

Again!

Su.

Let's see, now me.

- Two, three, four, five... - Su!

- What? - You came to work, stop playing.

I'll be right back.

You really messed things up.

What's wrong?

You always brought friends when you were working.

Yes, but they stopped coming.

Great, because I hate them. Especially Tenoch.

All of them, but especially Tenoch.

Fernando!

No, yeah.

Come on... Tell them to leave.

At least they still talk to me.

- Why wouldn't they? - Because of you!

I don't care what anyone thinks.

Go to work, you're getting paid for it.

- I won't do it for free. - You're doing nothing.

Are you like this because of Rafa?

We're better off without him.

Is that why you went after him, like in a romantic movie?

- I didn't! - I saw you.

- I did it for the store. - Oh, shut up!

Don't.

I want you to stop wasting time.

I'm not wasting time.

They told me Gus Lozano has a girlfriend.

- Go home, Su. - Don't be like that.

I want to be alone.

Okay... I'll go then.

- What about this? - I'll return to close up.

What's up, Memo?

It's getting late.

You told me that a minute ago.

- Time doesn't fly. - What if they don't come?

Well, we'll eat all of this

and sing pop songs until dawn. Okay?

My aunt made some cookies.

- Thanks. - Don't get your hopes up.

She's a terrible cook,

but she said it's rude to come empty-handed.

It looks like a house from TV.

What does your dad do?

I don't really know,

but he has to fly to San Diego frequently.

- Let me show you something. - Okay.

Encyclopedia Britannica.

I had never seen the complete collection!

We've also got the ones with all the updates.

I can lend them to you.

When I got into school I spent all my time in the library, reading all the volumes.

It was the most beautiful thing I'd seen.

Until now.

No, I was wrong.

This is the best thing I've ever seen.

Wanna use it? There's a game with a kitten.

No. I need to wash my hands first.

I swear to you, I'll get one of those one day.

I'll get the door. Wait here.

Hello.

- Am I the first one? - No, Tenoch is using the computer.

Shall we?

I'm sick of Tenoch.

Well, I'm sick of men in general.

Who said they've to have the last word?

That they make the rules. Who?

I'm a man too.

Yeah...

- This way? - Follow me.

TENOCH, PRESIDENT

What are you doing?

Trying the computer.

Works well.

Give me a sec.

- I thought you weren't coming. - I can't stay long.

I've got to close the video store.

- Where's Rafa? - He left.

Why?

You haven't mentioned him in a while.

I never did.

I think he's cool.

- Where's the others? - Inside.

Memo, you have more snacks than a shop.

If your dad brings more of those,

we could sell them for twice their price.

Are you always thinking about business?

Someone has to.

We came to have fun.

We have to figure out the teacher issue.

No one's saying anything.

We can talk about that later, right?

Yes, turn on the karaoke.

We should wait for Marifer.

She might not come.

Good, it could be awkward to sing with her ex.

No offense.

Hi. Sorry, am I late?

No.

Thank you for inviting me, dude.

What's Lalo doing here?

It was a private meeting.

Yes. He'll change the group's dynamic.

Then what? Are you inviting Jero or Diego the asshole?

Relax, he's my friend.

Since when?

- I'd ask the same about you and Rafa. - That's not the point.

We are not a couple anymore. I can hang out with anybody.

You don't have anything in common.

You don't know me.

Just like I didn't know you.

The karaoke's ready.

May I go first?

You know I'd die for you, darling

I'd die for you, darling

I need mouth-to-mouth breathing

'Cause your mouth is the cause of my pain

Give me a kiss to kill me And another to resuscitate me

I want you to hold me So I can burst in your arms

I was an object for you

An ornament to show off

One of those who received The worst of you

Not deserving it

It's really snowing, snowing in spring

A surreal world

It's really snowing, and time is flying

My mind flies wherever you are

It's really snowing, snowing over my soul

I turn to ice without you

Come on, that song is so cheesy.

But you know it.

Because it's catchy.

And I retain lots of information.

It's breaking dawn, a new day

Another sleepless night

Recalling the moments We spent together

At the school entrance Where we met

I almost tripped And the books fell down

You and me locked eyes

Spoke without making a sound

I was nervous And you embarrassed

We felt that love

Was awakening!

Who's next?

Come on, Alex.

- Alex doesn't sing. - Not even in the shower?

- No. - He doesn't dance either.

Well, only with his exes.

Are you gonna start?

And only watches movies with Rafa.

Rafa quit the video store.

What a shame?

Dude, we're free to love whoever we want.

Dude, keep it to yourself.

Yes, what are you doing here?

If so, I'm leaving too then.

Time has come to tell me Nothing's gonna be the same

I can't keep living like this

I'm inside an express train That I can't slow down

Every second Is a moment that goes away

There's no way to know How long the journey would take

Sometimes I feel afraid And I can't slow down

Everything has changed I'm changing

Nothing is forever

I can't slow down

I'm dying a little I'm changing

Nothing is forever

I can't slow down

Time has come to collect Those silent moments

I have to live to the fullest

Everything has changed I'm changing

Nothing is forever

I can't slow down

I'm dying a little I'm changing

Nothing is forever

I can't slow down

Everything has changed I'm changing

Nothing is forever

I can't slow down

How are you?

Great.

What?

I know you.

I know when something's off.

Yes.

But...

You hadn't asked me.

I thought you didn't want to talk.

Or that you were mad about what I said about Alex.

Well, you've been having a blast with your new friends.

They're not your style.

I feel good around them.

They make me forget about everything.

Maybe it's the falls.

But you do look happier.

I'm finding what really matters to me.

I thought being with Alex was the most important thing.

And it isn't.

You're right.

Men are assholes.

I didn't say that.

No, but it's true. We should take care of ourselves.

Thank you.

I missed you.

And I missed you.

You know how to live.

No, Memo does.

Not every day is like this.

Not every day can be perfect.

It was almost perfect.

Yes, I didn't think about our business.

You're doing it now.

There's no way around it.

Should I cover my ears?

No, you're already here.

Just say it.

Alex was right.

- Really? - Yes.

We must stop selling, to avoid getting caught.

Weren't you saving for a computer?

It can wait.

So?

We're closing the business.

And what about us?

Are we still friends?

Great party.

- It wasn't a party. - Sort of.

It was better than Mariana's.

I have something for you.

SONGS AGAINST THE DARK SIDE

Do they work?

Yes, I tried all of them.

Are we still friends even if there's no business?

Memo, I'm not mad at you.

Nor Dani or Tenoch. It's between Alex and I.

And we'll stay friends until we're old and grey.

- Should we go? - Yeah.

- Thanks, dude. - Goodbye.

And your friends?

I kicked them out so I could work.

I'm not as irresponsible as you might think.

I don't think that.

- I also did some extra work. - Did you clean the bathroom?

Yuck, no.

Here.

What's this?

Rafa's number.

I got it from our files.

I didn't think about that.

I know. You have no imagination.

Call him. If you want to.

Thank you.

I mean it.

That's what sisters are for.

- Are we leaving? - Go ahead, I'll close.

- Sorry for the mess. - Don't worry.

What matters is that you all had a good time.

And it looks like you did.

Did they like the karaoke machine?

We can try it later.

Don't try to escape. You owe me a song.

This isn't the only thing we're celebrating, okay?

- What do you mean? - I got promoted.

I'm the new vice-president of the Latin America region.

Wow, congrats, Dad.

There's a catch.

They want me in San Diego, permanently.

Are you gonna move there?

We're all moving there.

The three of us.

Yeah.

Can't we stay like this?

But we don't like leaving you on your own for long periods.

But Pascual is here.

Yes, but we want to be with you.

Look, you like San Diego.

But I like it here more.

- You didn't like Mexico City. - I do now.

I like my school. I like my friends.

Because you really tried.

With a bit of effort, you'll make more friends there.

- You can have a ton. - And if it's like the others?

- And if it's better? Be positive. - This one's the best!

There's plenty of time.

You're finishing the school year here.

We'll talk when the time comes.

- Hey! Memo! - Memo! Memo!

Did you know about this?

I heard rumors.

You'll live next to the beach, with seals and all.

It'll be neat.

Are you coming too?

No.

I'd love to, but I can't, Memo.

My family's here.

So...

I won't see you again.

You might.

But don't worry about that.

Don't be mad at your parents.

They want the best for you.

I don't think so.

They only do what's best for them.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry, Pascual. I'm going to bed.

What's up, Memo?

We have to go.

Are you okay?

Memo?
