I love you, Armando!

If this is how we make up, we should fight more often.

That can be arranged. You're always making me angry.

I begged Hugo not to tell you anything

and that's the first thing he does.

I knew you'd get mad because I didn't tell you.

I'm not mad that you lied.

I'm mad that didn't invite me.

You looked great dressed in drag.

That look suits you.

I'm not proud of making a fool of myself.

I only did it so Hugo would stop his whining

and start working on the new collection.

If you would've invited me,

you wouldn't have had to go through it alone.

We're getting married.

We should be there for each other.

That's why I love you,

because you want to be with me for better or worse.

Hey, we're going to see my sister tonight.

She has a gift for us.

That's great.

I'm looking forward to seeing her.

It's a shame I couldn't see her yesterday

because I was busy playing a galactic princess.

Dance for me. Come on!

Of course not.

Thank you, Mr. Smith.

Remember you can count on me forever.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome very much.

Everything's ready, Mr. Smith.

Here's the information for the new contract.

Have everything ready for this afternoon.

-But, sir... -No buts!

This is a priority.

I need it today. Today, Bertha!

Today? Mr. Smith!

"Today!"

Give me that.

Let me see.

-Please. -You can't.

-I'm begging you. -Sofia.

-Let go. -Just a peek.

-No one will know. -I said let go, Sofia!

Don't you understand that this is highly confidential?

Exactly! Let me see it!

I can't show you!

Just a quick look.

If this fell into the wrong hands,

it'd be dangerous.

Plus, I'd be violating my professional code of ethics.

But if someone accidentally happened to catch a glimpse,

that's not on me.

What? What?

She's going to earn twice as much as me?

Good, at least she'll have money to pay for both her funerals,

because I'm going to kill her and then I'm going to strangle her.

Oh, God.

It's very important that the appointment is today.

Three o'clock would be great. Thanks.

Ines, I'm putting a down payment

on the apartment I showed you.

The loan was approved.

Oh... so the decision is final.

Of course.

I see a real future with Fabi.

He looked so beautiful and happy in his new car.

You know, you've never asked for a loan.

You're so financially savvy

and careful with your spending.

Well, my current budget isn't exactly enough for Fabi

and I want to be there for him.

He's starting over here.

I don't think it's a good idea to put the apartment in both your names.

I think the car is more than enough.

Alright. Ines, I know you.

Something's going on between you and Fabio.

What happened? Tell me.

Between us? Nothing.

For god's sake. What could happen?

Although something did happen with another woman.

I saw him pretty close to one of those V&M models.

That's normal. He's a model.

He's used to being around women like I am.

Of course.

So much so that he sneaks into the copy room

to make out with them.

Did you see him?

No, no. I didn't see him personally,

but someone who works here saw him and told me.

Who was it?

Who was it?

I want you to tell me. Who was it?

Relax... Sofia, please calm down.

Breathe!

Look, it's not worth it.

You can't risk going to prison or your job.

Think about the kids. Breathe!

You can't lose everything because of some skank!

That bitch!

Ma'am, are you alright?

You look very pale.

Oh, I know! You're menopausal.

No, she's perfectly fine. Thanks for asking.

That's great.

I thought maybe it was my being here

and that wouldn't be okay.

I just want us to get along.

We don't have to be buddies, but we can be colleagues.

Of course, we're all very good colleagues. Thank you.

Great, I just talked to Mr. Smees.

Mr. Smees?

Yes, Mr. Smees.

He said I should report any kind of harassment.

Right.

See you.

Calm down.

It's not worth getting in trouble over that skank.

Please think about your kids, Sofia.

I'll get my revenge, though. I swear it.

Ines, this sounds like gossip passed around

by that god-awful squad.

Besides, there aren't many models

who talk behind my back anymore.

Who was it?

Sorry, hon, but I'm not going to tell you.

If I didn't love you so much, I'd roast you alive.

But I must admit you're not one to tell on others,

not even to me.

That says a lot about your character.

Who cares who said what? That doesn't matter.

All that matters is the truth.

No, it does matter because I love my Fabi

and it hurts when people talk bad about him

because I trust him.

Ines, you know how hard it's been for me to get where I am.

He shouldn't have to bear the burden of other people's envy.

In that case, I'm sorry for saying something that hurt you.

You know I love you

and that anything that might hurt you...

bothers me.

And don't ask me not worry about you

because that's not going to happen.

Alright.

Fine, go home...

or go break some hearts.

See you tomorrow.

See you, my Hugi.

Hi, babe. How's it going?

I'm here, just envisioning my new designs.

Great.

Do you want to go out for dinner?

Is it your treat?

Sure.

I'll just take a shower and get ready.

What'd you think?

You can't fool me. Fabio!

Who is it?!

Well, I used your time and date of birth for your horoscope

and now I have all the information.

Maria Lucia, I'm not a big believer

and I've got a lot of work.

Armando, don't start.

Maria Lucia created an app to make it more serious.

An app! Wow! How nice!

I'm serious, I use information provided by NASA

to know exactly where the constellations were

when you were born.

I put all that information in the app

and that'll run the numbers

and give me your percentage of compatibility.

Awesome. Is that only good here on Earth

or does it work in other galaxies, too?

Stop making fun of her!

Maria Lucia always gets this right.

The person who she said would marry, got married

and the person she said would get divorced...

Got divorced. Right?

Alright, here are the results.

Oh, no!

-What? -What?

This is incredible.

I know! We're super compatible.

No! We're soul mates!

-Well... -What?

This has never happened.

You're 0.17% compatible.

What? 17%?

No, sweetie. You wish.

0.17%.

We didn't even get one.

So I'm more compatible with Patricia or something?

Shut up.

Well, according to this,

you should've never even gotten together.

Not as a couple, not even as friends

and especially not to get married.

You can't even be neighbors.

You know... I think this shit is broken.

See why I don't believe in these things?

I'm getting some wine, okay?

Thank God you're my sister.

How could you think I'd cheat on you?

-And with a woman? -Everyone at V&M knows!

You're not discreet.

Ines told me.

So you'd rather believe that old hag...

Don't you dare insult her!

I'll rip you to shreds!

Insult me all you want, but respect Ines.

Fine. I'll respect her.

She's untouchable.

But what I would like to know is

if Ines saw this imaginary woman with her own two eyes.

Did she?

She didn't say.

Oh, well... So?

Why would Ines make up anything?

She knows this sort of thing hurts me.

We agree on that.

But she didn't make this up.

But whoever did, told her because they knew she'd tell you.

They're trying to get between us.

Think about it.

They used Ines.

They knew they'd create a rift between us.

Don't you see?

I'm so tired of things always ending the same way.

I get my hopes up

by thinking that this time, things will be different

but then I get a reality check.

I'm such a fool.

Mr. Armando would never give someone like me the time of day.

He has a perfect life

and woman who loves him

and who's willing to do anything for him.

Ballet is a sublime art. It's delicate and elegant.

It's not for girls who lack grace and beauty.

Oh, Cuquito.

It's time I faced the truth.

Some of us were born to watch others

while we stand in their shadows.

Some of us were born to watch from afar.

We weren't made to be loved.

Let's calm down and think things through.

You adore Ines and everyone at V&M knows that.

But the poor thing is naive and from a different generation.

This person took advantage of that to hurt us.

Let's suppose, and I only mean suppose,

that she was manipulated.

Who could it have been? The ghosts of your exes?

Your new enemies in the company.

What about that Betty girl?

The gargoyle.

You didn't even hesitate. Why'd you think of her?

I didn't hesitate because I know it was her.

The other day she thought she caught me doing something.

She saw me consoling Carol.

You know how she always gets nervous.

That shameless Betty assumed that there was something between us.

Oh... she's horrid.

She's rotten inside. That's why she's ugly.

Why didn't you tell me, Fabio?

How could I tell you?

You've been so tense, Hugo,

because of the new collection, V&M, our marriage.

How could I add that nonsense to your plate?

I thought I could ignore her,

but she clearly wants to destroy you, to hurt you.

And what better way than to come between us?

I found that broker and sent him an email.

He'd find the fabric, create the pieces,

deliver them, and for a good price, too.

You're welcome.

Does he have offices in New York?

No, in Miami.

But I'll just have to change my flight.

Okay, go see him.

Just don't tell anyone you changed your flight.

If anyone asks, you went to LA to talk to him.

Whatever you say.

But he's the only one who carries the fabric that Hugo wants

at an affordable price.

Let's keep this just between Betty, you, and me for now.

If we go with the broker,

-we'll let the others know. -Alright.

What do you think?

Oh, wow! Let us see.

It's pretty.

-It's warm, too. -Yes.

My hubby brought it from Chicago.

It's super chic.

Do you like it?

It must've been expensive. It looks pretty fancy.

Thank you.

I don't know how much he spent, but he's very generous.

Yes!

What a horrid excuse for a coat!

That color is terrible.

Hey, Pathetic Patty, no one asked for your opinion.

So you're annoying and nosy.

I'm just enlightening you since none of you have a clue

about style, fashion, and good taste.

At least we don't wear the same outfits over and over again.

I've never done that.

When have I ever?

Last week there was that blazer...

And there's a black dress I've seen more than a few times.

And that very low-cut blouse that just screams,

"I'm desperate and I need a husband."

That's right. She does need a husband.

But I don't. I already have someone who can dress me and undress me.

-Babe. -Oh, you poor heifer!

Let's see how long your happy marriage lasts.

Men don't stick around for fat women who don't look good.

A muffin top isn't a desirable feature.

Fatty!

-The poor thing. -Twig!

Girl, don't listen to her.

She's just jealous because you have a husband

and she's got squat.

-And it will stay that way. -She's all by her lonesome.

Marcela, every single secretary in this company is a bully.

There should be an ethics committee...

and an aesthetics committee, too.

And dock their pay for each infraction.

What'd they do now?

It's not just now. They're always bullying me.

And now they're teasing me for wearing the same outfits.

Which is true, but why do they have to be so mean?

It's hurtful.

I mean, I swear I never mess with them,

but they're always giving me a hard time.

And I don't know what to do because they're right.

I need clothes, but I have no money.

You know what? I have a great idea.

Why don't you buy Hugo's new collection?

It's super affordable.

-Are you insane? -Why?

Hugo might've designed it,

but I'm not shopping at Mogollon's Market.

Excuse me, Ms. Marcela. Here you go.

Thanks, Mariana.

-Did you see her, Marcela? -What?

She made a face!

I didn't see anything.

You didn't? She went like this.

I didn't see anything.

Come on! Oh, Marce!

Okay, let's do something,

go to Mogollon's Market. Pick out all the clothing you want.

I'll pay for them.

Couldn't we do the same at a store on 5th Avenue?

Do you hear yourself?

Even I don't buy clothes every new season

and especially not on 5th Avenue.

I want to help you, but you won't let me.

Don't be so picky. That's the offer on the table.

Who is it?

I knew I'd find you here.

What Patricia said got to you, right?

It's just that she's right.

No matter how much I diet, I'll always be fat.

I can't lose weight.

Why do you even listen to her?

Don't you know the poor thing isn't right of the head?

She loves to pick a fight over nothing.

I know, but that airhead is right.

She could steal my husband from me in a heartbeat.

She's beautiful, tall, skinny,...

she only wears designer clothes.

Oh, honey!

You know what? I just came from Marcela's office

and she was telling our dear friend Patricia

to go to Mogollon's Market to buy V&M's new collection.

-What? -Exactly.

Sounds like what you told her about wearing the same outfits

really got to her.

Oh, that bottle blonde is gonna pay for this.

You'll see.

Beatriz!

You're a despicable, disgusting, and deplorable human being.

The jig is up.

I'm going to stop you.

Why are you saying this to me?

How dare you spread lies about my fiancé?

-I don't know what you... -Listen to me!

I might've believed you 24 hours ago, but not anymore.

Now I know that you're a disgusting rat.

Listen to me, you little weasel.

I will make sure that you stay in this dark, tiny little office forever.

You're a poor excuse for a human being.

Sir, I don't know why you're saying this to me.

Listen up, young lady.

Fabio and I are in love

and we're going to get married.

And no one will get in the way of that.

Got it?

You went after the two people I love most in this world,

Inesita and Fabio.

And I won't allow it!

What's going on? Why are you yelling at Betty?

Your freak of an assistant, or whatever it is,

thinks she'll get far in life.

Am I right?

I... I saw something I shouldn't have.

It's my fault, sir.

Stop, Hugo.

If you're done, please leave. We're busy.

I've only just begun... you weasel.

You're in my way.

He's a bigger diva every day.

Okay.

-Beatriz. -Uh-huh?

We have some new brokers in Miami

and Ricardo's going to meet with them.

No one else knows.

I'll tell you everything else later.

Yes, sir.

Ines, I need my Bach flower remedy.

I need those drops, because I'm very upset.

What's wrong?

I just put that little weasel in her place.

I told her not to mess with you or you.

Don't even say hi to her, Ines.

Enough, Hugo. Don't say such things.

She tried to turn you against me and I won't allow it.

Right.

I'm sorry, Hugo. At this point in my life,

I don't need you to pick my friends for me.

Listen to me. She's a snake.

She feeds on our fears, our resentment, our hate, on chaos.

You'll see eventually.

Betty.

Can we talk, please?

Ines, why'd you tell Hugo what I told you?

He came in here and made a scene. He was very upset.

I didn't tell him it was you.

Fabio must've said something to turn him against you.

No wonder.

He's scared of being found out.

I tried to keep Hugo

from making the biggest mistake of his life,

but he didn't listen to me.

He's in love with Fabio.

No matter what we say, he won't listen.

You should've heard all the horrible things he said to me

just to defend Fabio.

Well, Hugo has a big heart, but he's been hurt many times.

That's why he can be so nasty.

You did a very good thing,

but once again, he just wouldn't listen.

I'm so sorry I brought you into this mess.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Stop looking at my legs.

What you think is going to happen, isn't going to happen.

That only happens when I'm three bottles of wine in.

Okay.

So why'd you make me come?

Do you at least have valuable intel?

Yes.

Okay, shoot.

Ricardo's going to LA.

They're desperate and they need a new supplier

to get the fabrics for the new collection.

And?

-And... that's it. -That's it?

You made me come all the way here for that?

No... I know you want something else.

Right?

Yeah, I want something else.

For you to leave me alone!

Out of my way!

Patricia, find out who the new supplier is.

Patricia's the worst.

How could she say all those things to Bertha?

Next time, I'll tell her to pick on somebone her own size.

Yeah.

You guys think I'm fat, too?

No, I'm just trying to say

that she should pick on someone like me.

I'm not calling you fat. Do you understand?

It's like you're calling me fat.

This is my company and he is my man.

Here, in his house, and in his bed, I'm in charge!

I will make sure that you stay in this dark, tiny little office forever.

You're a poor excuse for a human being.

How horrible.

Just know that you can count on me

for whatever you need.

Thanks, Giovis! You're too cute.

The thing is, I put a dollar in this little slot

and the machine ate it.

How dare you, you stupid vending machine?

How could you disrespect this young lady?

This young... with such qualities.

How you dare? Will you excuse me?

Excuse me, just a little bit, I just need to apply some pressure.

Wait, wait.

Giovis, is everything alright?

Yeah, take that.

Here, let me...

You're scaring me.

Look!

There you go!

-Oh, Giovis! -Here you go.

You're like Spider-Man. My hero.

Anytime, anywhere, rosebud.

Here's a kiss.

Where are you off to all by yourself?

Can you believe those two?

She's very slutty, you know?

He's so pathetic, ridiculous and unbearable.

He is an...

They were made for each other.

Wait... look at those curves...

Look at that rear end!

Sirs...

Beatriz, we were discussing the upsides of using a broker.

That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.

I did some research

and, sadly, I couldn't find very much information on them.

There aren't any records and the company is fairly new,

so they haven't done much business.

Did you know about that, Ricardo?

Yeah, according to the broker on the phone,

they worked for a bigger company before branching off,

but they have their own clients.

Okay, what sort of clients? Anyone we know?

-Yeah, we know all of them. -Oh.

They have a very diverse portfolio.

And from what I can tell, they've got a good reputation.

Sir, I wouldn't rely on reputation alone.

The numbers are also important, and

in my research, I couldn't find any fiscal information

or any tax returns.

I couldn't even find any properties,

which is very weird.

Yeah, you make a good point, Beatriz.

You're right.

We can't afford that much risk.

I understand that a newer company

tends to have lower prices, but it's too risky.

Yes, I completely agree.

That's why I'll be meeting them in person.

I want to make sure that they're a reliable company.

Good idea. Thanks, Beatriz.

Alright. Excuse me.

What do you think?

So you want Efrain to think that Jenny is a dirty little skank from hell?

Exactly.

I think that if that bastard sees that little ho

with another guy,

he'll realize that she's a cheater and he'll leave her.

End of story.

What if he kills her?

If I caught my partner with someone else,

it's the Five-Star Frog Splash for him.

-What? -What's that?

I'd kill him.

Oh!

No, no. Efrain wouldn't hurt a fly.

He's scared of insects.

When there's an infestation, our partner Charly has to go

because Efrain gets scared.

That's why I think Giovanni is the perfect bait.

-Giovanni? -Yes.

What does he have to do with this?

Are you even listening to what I'm saying?

Have you not noticed how smitten he is by her?

Just a teensy-weensy nudge

and that girl will fall for him.

I'm not okay with this plan.

I don't want you messing with my Giovas.

I'm just saying that Giovanni is a good guy and a good friend.

We shouldn't use him.

What if he gets his heart broken?

He could even fall for that slut.

-Ah. -About time.

He's been after you for years and you've always ignored him.

-That's not true. -Yes, it is.

He's always after you

and you won't even turn around to look at him.

Wait, do you like him or not?

-Huh? -I don't like him!

He's just my friend and I'm concerned about him.

-Ah. -Ah.

Are you sure?

It smells like jealousy to me.

I don't know.

We can find someone else for the job if you want.

I'm not jealous.

Like I said, he's my friend and I don't want you to use him.

Ah.

So you're not into him at all.

Not one bit.

Nothing?

You girls are so mean.

In that case, who thinks I should carry out my plan

with Giovanni?

Raise your hands. One, two, three. We win!

He's just a friend, right?

Beatriz!

Watch where you're going!

Oh, no!

Did I hurt you, Little Red Riding Hood?

I'm sorry, but you're not the only one

who can make fun of others.

I can do it, too, and even better!

"Oh, Armando! Where are you? I'm so insecure it's killing me!

Where are you? When are you coming home?

Who are you with?"

-What's going on here? -Shut up, you sack of silicone.

What? Are you gonna steal another report from me?

I dare you, Ugly Patty.

Beatriz, I'm talking to you! Earth to Beatriz!

Watch where you're going!

I'm sorry. I got distracted.

I can tell.

-Pay attention, okay? -Yes.

Oh, no...

Giovas, come on.

You want me to what?

Don't play dumb. It's not complicated.

I'm just asking you to let yourself go.

Unleash the animal inside you.

There's obviously tension between... Jenny and you.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

Do you really think Jenny and I...

Oh, come on!

Did you think I didn't see you earlier today

by the vending machine?

She couldn't take her eyes off you.

She wanted you... all of you.

You saw that, Sofi?

I felt something, too, when I got close to her,

but I wasn't sure.

There you have it. You're halfway there.

Now all you need to do is take her to dinner.

That's where you got me, Sofi.

I'm a man of many fine qualities,

but not a lot of money.

That's the least of your problems.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

I'll handle everything.

All you gotta do, is take Jenny

to a very open restaurant.

That way Efrain will see you from a mile away.

That's it. What do you think?

What if he kills me?

Don't be a whimp.

Come on, I'm being serious.

This woman is ruining my life and I don't know what else to do.

I'm going insane.

Look, Efrain...

Efrain is a dirty old man.

He's going through a midlife crisis.

But you... look at you.

You're so yummy.

Look at those big...

And those move on their own. She'll love that.

You're irresistible. Good enough to eat.

-You're right. -So? Are you in?

Alright, okay, okay. I'm game.

You see? I'm happy. You're happy.

We're all happy.

Hey, what are you doing?

Nothing, trying to build a rocket.

Dummy.

I heard you're going to LA.

Yeah, why?

No reason.

I just know a lot of people in LA

and I was wondering if you were going to meet up

with someone we knew.

I don't know. I have a long list of suppliers.

Don't worry, though.

You just worry about answering the phones. Thank you.

You're so rude.

I was just trying to make small talk.

Excuse me.

Betty.

Ricardo's going to Miami tonight.

I hope it goes well with the broker.

Let's hope so.

I was wondering if you could stay a bit longer with me

so we could check next month's projections.

I love you, Armando!

No, I can't.

I have a family engagement.

Okay. Is everything alright?

Yeah, I'm just running late.

See you.

Oh, honey. What's wrong?

Why are you crying?

I'm not crying. It's my allergies.

Your allergies?

No, sweetie, that kind of allergy has a first and last name.

Who made you cry?

I'm going to die all alone, Mariana, alone.

Oh, honey.

Does this have anything to do with someone in the company?

No?

Then these are definitely matters of the heart.

Did you and Nicolas have a fight?

Was that it?

Oh, honey. I understand.

I know.

It happens to all of us,

but it's nothing that time

and a nice Puerto Rican dessert can't cure.

We're going right now.

Where?

To a Puerto Rican place I know.

When you try their tembleque,

baby, you'll realize that nothing is as bad as it seems.

Let's go.

Welcome to the Sunshine State, handsome.

How'd you get in?

I'm surprised you're asking. You know I have my tricks.

I can see,

but I thought we weren't meeting until tomorrow.

You know I love breaking the rules.

That's why I brought you some room service.

Good, 'cause I'm so hungry.

Yeah?

TWO DAYS LATER

Your fabrics catalogue is quite impressive.

It's one of the most comprehensive I've seen.

We strive to maintain the most extensive catalogue

which allows us to meet all our clients' needs.

In this case, V&M,

which is a company with a great reputation

and a ton of experience in the world of fashion.

Alright, let's talk business.

It's simple.

Transfer the money today and by next week,

we'll send you everything directly to New York.

We'll take care of everything.

However, we'll need you to make the transfer today.

I don't know if that's possible. I need to talk to my partner.

Paying in full and in advance is very risky.

It's the only way we can secure the current prices.

So... call your partner and talk about it.

Sir, you have a call.

Excuse me. I've got a call from Japan.

We have a huge deal to make.

Make yourselves comfortable.

What was that for?

You're so sexy when you talk business.

Will we be long?

I just have to talk to Armando so we can set up the payment.

Armando, the samples are perfect, bro.

They're exactly what Hugo wants.

Cindy told me that her dad has heard of this broker.

I don't know.

Has he done business with your dad?

But they've got a great office.

They're obviously doing well.

With Hugo's designs and these fabrics at this price,

there's no way we can lose.

Did you hear me? We can't lose.

We just have to pay all of the money up front,

and in two or three days, we can start production.

Wait, they want all the money in advance?

That's too risky, Ricardo.

Why didn't you negotiate to give them half now

and half after we receive the product?

Because that's not how brokers work.

They need all the money up front

in order to operate at such low costs.

Just relax, relax. Everything will be great.

Let's hope so. I'm gonna trust you.

I'll give the order now and I'll let you know.

Yes.

Betty.

Yes, sir?

I need you to transfer all of the money to Miami.

-All of it? -Yes.

Yes.

Are you absolutely sure?

Yes, please, Beatriz. Make the transfer.
