Romantic Recipe

We

want to impress our guests.

They are very conservative.

We must not make any changes. All right, we can do that.

I cannot stress the importance of that enough. Nothing is spicy, but not boring

either.

Man, you're great at it. I certainly hope so, since the success of my

husband's business depends on the opinions of these people.

Oh, no, don't worry.

I'm sure that you're going to be fine. I highly recommend you. In fact, you did

the wedding of my friend Dolores Berringer's party, and her husband was

promoted the very next day.

She swears a couple of times that it was because of the success of the dinner.

Oh, I couldn't understand what she meant by all the giggling.

Anyway, I'll leave you to your duties. I'm sure you'll do fantastic.

Snacks? Oh, such a horrible word.

Snacks. Can't you just call it a snack?

Since you're the head of the zoning commission, Gordon, it's very important

that you're with us, otherwise we won't even be able to start construction in

the city center.

That depends on my work, so I want to be sure that we can rely on you.

I understand you.

I would really like to help with something.

But, unfortunately, my hands are tied.

You see, my wife wouldn't do this sort of business in our society.

All of these moving, beautiful bodies.

She'll say it's immoral.

It's a health spa, Gordon.

Not a brothel.

What can I do?

She says spandex isn't decent.

With all due respect, Mr. Gordon, I think you don't understand the whole

picture. With all due respect, Mr.

Fancy, you don't know my wife.

She was always cold as a fish.

But I knew it when I married her.

You see, after she gave birth to our first son, she told me that we should

wait for sex until she was ready.

And what?

And what?

My son finally left.

I think she's finally ready to have sex with me.

I don't want to ruin it.

Your son left?

Where? To college.

Yeah, I get it.

You know we're gonna be busy every night of the week.

I know. It's crazy.

The phone's breaking.

Sorry for all the work.

New business and all that.

I don't complain.

I just need something to spend my overtime on.

Let's go drink after this.

Oh, you're funny.

You always say that.

But I'll probably just go home and work on the recipes.

I'll cook something, clean up a little, go to bed. And you always say that.

You know you need to learn to balance between business and pleasure.

I don't have time for pleasure.

Carolina, you make your own schedule.

And it's a closed circle.

Besides, I like to work.

I can be the conductor of this little symphony of spices, tasty textures.

With my wooden spoon as a stick, I create music in the mouths of people.

Yes, you're a maestro, and I'm your orchestra.

That's why we're doing so well together.

What am I talking about?

I know that.

We're doing well together.

I don't think I could do it without you.

You could.

No.

No. No.

I probably could, but it wouldn't be so fun.

Wait. Listen.

Aaron, you hear me? What?

The drums.

What drums?

Listen.

I think it comes from here.

I hear them. They are weak and distant.

They call me.

They tell me that they want to perform.

They want to be heard.

Let's see.

Maybe if I add more spices, they will become even louder.

Louder. The aborigines are worried.

They're restless, and I increase the temperature.

And I add a little bit of wine.

And everything turns into drunken primordial orgy.

Drunken primordial soup. That's what we're supposed to call it.

It's better than bouillabaisse.

Have you ever heard the expression, married at work?

Yes. That's exactly it.

I'm happy at work.

I mean, lately it feels like I'm literally married to her. What do you

mean?

I mean, I don't know, but since we've been doing the maintenance, I mean, I'm

in the clouds and I see a bright, repetitive picture.

A fantasy?

That's right.

Sometimes, when I cook, I imagine a man coming up to me from behind. And

he gently hugs me.

He takes his hair out of my neck and kisses me.

He whispers something in my ear and raps me right there.

And when that happens, I come to myself.

The dish is ready.

I barely remember how I cooked it. It's like my subconscious is trying to tell

me something. Yeah.

You know what it's trying to tell you?

That you're excited.

It's definitely something bigger.

Something's happening. It's like the spices have a magical boost.

You've seen the effect of some of my creations, haven't you? Yeah, I've seen

it. They bring people to ecstasy.

You're just the master of deliciousness.

You're so funny.

No, I'm serious.

They act on people like aphrodisiacs.

Well, seriously, I think it's just an attempt to tell me that the guy I need

is somewhere nearby.

You just need to be patient.

You're crazy.

Shut up.

And how does this man look like from your imagination?

Well, I don't know for sure, because he's usually behind me and wearing a

mask. Really?

You're dreaming of Doggy Style with a lone ranger?

Okay, Tonto.

Let's finish this and you should go have a drink with me and relax.

And you need to cut vegetables.

Go back to work, smartass. We'll see if I'll ever tell you something personal

again. Hey, come on.

Nah. Okay, I'll tell you.

I'll go get some more pepper.

It's not that I would not do that for you It's just that I

want you here now Why does it have to

be this way Why are you so far away

Why does it have to be this way

Karolina!

Karolina!

Karolina! Hey, Karolina!

Is that what you were talking about?

You've been on autopilot for a while now.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

And the first dish is ready.

So I asked him, you know what kind of curtain you're going to hang on this

building?

Curtain? I'm just an engineer-builder. I have no idea.

So I told him that's the outside facade that goes on the building.

It's not a place to work in the office.

But that's a completely different story.

Gordon, that's what I really wanted to talk to you about.

I have a couple of suggestions for you. About what my business will do for the

whole Springfield community.

How will it save the local community?

I thought this question was already closed.

Oh, okay.

Let's leave all these business talks for after dinner, okay, boys?

How do you like the soup, Prudence?

It's very tasty.

Very pleasant.

It's just so hot.

Hot?

Oh, no.

I told the chef on purpose that it wasn't spicy.

I'm just so hungry.

Eat your soup, honey.

What?

Milych!

That's how I love you.

Just keep kissing me like that.

Oh, it tickles.

Slow down. Slow down.

I just want to feel you against me.

Tell me.

Tell me. What you like.

Yeah. I feel so good. I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

Just like that.

You're so sexy.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

shit.

Oh, my God. You look so crazy tonight. Yeah?

Do I feel good?

Oh, shit.

it's so good

You look so sexy.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Like that, like that, yes.

I had a wonderful time.

You have such a beautiful home.

And Mr. Fansing, you can count on my voice.

Thank you very much, sir. I know I can.

Have a good trip.

Good night.

Here's your payment for today's dinner.

And I added very large tea cups.

Thank you. No, it's a thank you.

Just one more little thing.

Yes.

Can I get a recipe for this delicious soup?

Sure. I just throw them on the go, but... Sure, I'll give you one.

Absolutely. Okay, thank you very much. You're welcome.

Excellent.

You know, I'm gonna finish this. Go on, go somewhere, have some fun.

I'll stay.

I'll help you clean up, and then we can go somewhere to have a drink.

You're so sweet, but I think I'll just go home and get ready for tomorrow's

work. Okay, I can help you get ready.

It's okay.

Come on, just drink, even if you don't want to all night.

My neighbor at home, she'll help me.

You know, I needed... not a drink, but company.

You know, I can't believe I didn't see this before.

Finally.

Great. My neighbor in the room has the same opinion as you.

She's not married and she's very charming.

I have to introduce you.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm serious.

You'll like it.

You know, you didn't understand anything.

I'm going.

See you later.

I'm telling you, you'll like it.

It's cute and funny.

And he's so cute.

And he has a really, really hot body.

Well, then why don't you meet him?

Because he's too young.

He's the same age as me, and you live with me.

Because we work together, and that can lead to a disaster.

I'm a realist.

A realist?

It's like a dream date with Zorro.

I guess.

Hey, it's not done yet.

It doesn't matter.

Your loss of sanity is my gain.

When can I meet him?

Well... Aiden seems to be feeling unwell when he left, so I think I'll bake him a

cake and bring it tomorrow.

You can come with me.

That sounds terrible.

Well, what else do you want to lose?

If nothing works out, at least there will be a cake.

Well, okay.

It's not that I would not do that for you, it's just that I want

you here now.

Why does it have to be this way?

Why are you so far away?

Why does it have to be this way?

so far away

But they're a whole ocean away I'd have to travel far just to

see you It's not that I would not do that

for you It's just that I want you here now

Why does it have to be this way?

So far away.

Why does it have to be this way?

Why are you so far?

Why is he so upset?

Typical story of unrequited love.

Oh, well, you should hold on and tell me about it somehow.

Yes, somehow.

What's wrong, man?

Are you blind?

The bartender is coming up to you.

I'm not interested.

Please tell me you're gay.

Why? Because there's only one option of not wanting her. It's if you're dead.

And I still need it. It's half of the rent.

It's all because of the worry.

She made you go blind, die and become gay, dude.

Just get up and go on.

She doesn't like that.

How many times can you call her on a date?

A new and creative way just to make her refuse you.

First she's too busy.

Then she's upset.

Listen to what she's telling you.

She keeps telling me that she's not interested, but her eyes are completely

different.

Excellent. Listen to her eyes.

Hey, guys, we're closing, but my apartment is right around the corner.

If you want,

we can continue the party.

Yeah, I'd like to, but...

Unfortunately, I have to take the old donkey home, until he loses his tail.

As you wish. Come on, Captain.

Hello.

Happy birthday.

Wow, hello.

Oh, but my birthday is in a couple of months.

Well, thank you.

That's not weird at all.

Didn't you think we'd wake you up in the middle of the day?

No, I didn't sleep.

Yes, I did, but it's okay.

Charlie? This is Carolina.

Carolina?

Oh, damn. You're cute.

I mean, nice to meet you. I'm Charlie.

How awkward, Charlie. How awkward.

And this is... This is my roommate, Adele.

I told you about her last night.

Nice to meet you.

I'm in the shower. Okay.

Well, he's amazing.

I'm not sure we have plates.

We have plates.

Let me just cut you a piece.

Thank you.

There we go.

Well, how much time is there?

I have a meeting. I forgot I'm late.

Aaron, are you taking Adele home?

I need to go.

She's an excellent cook.

You should try this cake.

Yeah, she's amazing.

I know that.

She told me that you were... hot,

but... I didn't know it was that hot.

Thank you.

Listen... Are you sure you don't want to try a little cake?

No, it's okay.

But still, thank you.

You seem very nice.

But... I'll go put on my pants and take you

home.

Maybe you should put on your pants too.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you want to try?

Oh, yes.

Mmm.

Thank you.

Oh my God, I'm so in love.

Cute.

Thank you.

Girl.

Thank you.

So...

Thank you.

um um

Oh man, it caused me.

Did you like my cake?

I didn't try it.

What? Why?

I made it specifically for you.

I know that, and I didn't appreciate it.

You don't appreciate that I'm cooking for you?

You know what I'm talking about.

No, I don't.

Do you think you can fool me into seeing your neighbor?

Fool me?

I was trying to help by introducing you to someone you might like.

You don't listen to me.

There's already someone I'm interested in. And you're an egoist if you put

someone in between.

I'm an egoist?

Maybe you're an egoist.

I try to be nice, but you don't listen to me either.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

I thought I saw a mouse, but it wasn't a mouse.

Oh, okay.

It was a rat.

I'm sorry.

I like your hairstyle.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Happy Anniversary, my dear.

Happy Anniversary, my dear.

I have something special for you.

This chicken is delicious.

Have you tried it?

I'll try it. You know I love vegetables.

We all know you're picky about food, Ramon. Just eat this damn meat.

What did you find?

Don't act like you don't know, Ramon. I don't know.

You're being selfish, Ramon. Me?

You say there's a special gift for me, but I have to wait.

I just meant...

You know what?

I don't want to wait.

I want my present now.

Okay.

I know there are a lot of things you don't like to eat first.

But your wife shouldn't be one of them. On your knees, boy.

Mm-hmm.

Is that good?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

God.

One more

take.

Oh yeah.

Happy New Year.

Mmm.

Hope you have a good one.

Should I go?

Yes, like that.

Oh, yeah.

It's amazing.

Yeah.

Where do you want me?

It's all right.

Oh my God.

We haven't done this for ages!

Feel so nice. Feel so well.

What do you think?

I like it.

I love it.

That's why you're married

Happy anniversary, honey.

Happy anniversary.

Hey, pretty boy. You were a pretty sad drunk that night.

Yeah. And now I'm angry.

Ah. So, uh, you miss her?

No. I think I'm done with all this sad shit.

I got it. I got the hint.

Good. Forget about her.

You know, I was planning on going to Vegas for the weekend.

Do you want to come with me?

I don't know.

I don't know. Come on.

It'll be fun.

You can sit here and whine all weekend long. Or you can come with me.

We can drink and laugh and fuck all day.

I don't even know.

Come on. Decide.

She doesn't care where you are. She just doesn't want to be with you.

And I want to.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll see you here in two hours.

Agreed.

Thank God you're here.

I'm already starting to worry that you won't come.

I won't be long.

Oh no, are you sick?

Yes. I'm sick and tired.

Not again, Arne. I came for the last time.

I met someone, and she's wonderful, and she thinks I'm wonderful.

And together we will become great.

Well, that's wonderful.

I'm serious, Carolina.

If you don't want to say anything, I can stay.

I would really need your help.

Yeah, I thought so.

Later.

Later? When?

Later means never.

Can you believe that I quit?

Ocean away, I'd have to travel far just to see you

It's not that I would not do that for you

It's just that I want you here now Why

does it have to be this way?

Why are you so far away?

Carolina? Carolina?

Carolina, are you okay?

You look like you're a million miles away from here. I'm okay. I'm just

putting the last touches on the eggplants and parmesan.

Good, because the guests are hungry.

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

I have to disturb the man I love to become great.

But what about my party?

And how about the man I love?

It's my husband's birthday. Everything, everything you need is here.

Everything's ready.

You just need to take care of yourself. I, I wouldn't even charge you money for

tonight. It's on me.

I have to stop him.

Run.

Good luck.

Don't let him become great without you.

Thank you. Thank you.

As a special gift to you and your husband.

Use my advice and try the eggplants with parmesan.

Aaron! Aaron!

Aaron, are you here?

Glad to see you. I wanted to say thank you for that cake. You're welcome.

Is Aaron here?

No, he left 20 minutes ago.

Where did he go?

He said something about Vegas.

What?

With this barmaid chain. And a bar around the corner.

Oh my god. Have they already left?

Yeah, we didn't really talk.

Where is he?

He said he'd leave the car at her house.

And where is her house?

I don't know.

Around the corner of the bar.

What was that?

I don't know.

Maybe she understood who this man behind the mask was.

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, don't go.

Carolina, don't do this.

You had a chance to stop me.

I feel like a fool.

No, I'm a fool. Please, I understand.

Please, please stay.

Please.

Goodbye, Carolina.

Let's go.

But you're a lonely ranger.

My lonely ranger.

God.

It's mid-July, she learned to fly.

I'm crawling round now, I cry and cry.

I lost my love, she packed my dreams.

And headed far away, me it seems.

She broke me open, she smashed me up.

Now I'm down and out now I can't wake up I'll

never hate her I never could But she broke me

open And I knew she would I won't see her later

I won't see her again

Did she learn to fly?

Did she learn to fly?

Did she learn to fly?

Yeah.

um

Wow.

Okay.

Bye.

I can't believe I'm doing this.
