BETTY IN NEW YORK

Why didn't you tell me how hideous I looked?

Don't listen to him. Daniel's an idiot.

But he was right. My friends told me.

All I wanted was to look pretty for you.

Betty, don't do it for me.

You're fine the way you are. You don't need to change.

So my boss said no.

She said she couldn't do anything else for me.

It was my second offense,

and nothing's going to happen to that tramp.

It's really unfair.

Betty, what if you talk to Mr. Armando?

I really don't think my boss

wants to go against Ms. Marcela.

Besides, even though we don't want to admit it,

Sofia, you do know you crossed the line with Jenny,

and you did commit a serious infraction.

I know.

Betty, what if you talk to Smith?

You're the president's assistant.

Maybe you can persuade him.

You're familiar with Sofia's situation.

She can't lose her job.

Yes, I know.

I'll try, but Sofi, I can't promise anything.

Betty, if you manage to convince my boss,

you'll be a heroine to all of us here.

We'd be so grateful, especially Sofia and her kids.

OK, I'll do it, but you're coming with me,

and whatever I say, you say yes to no matter what.

-OK? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Follow her lead.

-What are you going to say? -Yes.

Say yes.

Yes.

Yes!

And that's why we came, Mr. Smith.

You know that Sofia Pena has always been

a wonderful employee.

Yes, it's true that she behaved poorly,

but she's never behaved inappropriately before,

isn't that so?

Well, yes.

You know she's punctual, efficient, and honest.

And good at her job.

Sofia Pena is going through a really tough time in her life,

and that's why she isn't acting like herself.

It could happen to you, me, or anybody else on earth.

She's also aware that she crossed the line

with the model.

She resorted to violence.

Yes, she did, but she's very sorry.

Me?

I'm very sorry.

And it's because of how much she regrets it

that she made the conscious decision

to seek therapy and take anger management classes.

What...

a good idea.

Great!

So I can learn to control my temper.

And as if that weren't enough,

Sofia Pena will also be purchasing a brand new cell phone

for Ms. Jenny.

No...

kidding!

That's great.

Lovely.

A new phone in a sealed box with that new-device smell.

And she is also committed to be the model employee

she has always been.

Well, Mr. Smith, we hope you can sympathize

with the situation.

What's more, consider that Sofia is beloved

by 90% of the employees at V&M.

How will you, the HR director,

come across if you give Sofia another chance

to keep her job at V&M?

Like a boss whose fairness, empathy, and magnanimity

are second to none.

Empathy, Mr. Smith.

That's what I'm trying to appeal to:

your heart.

To your heart.

I'll give you one last chance,

but you must publicly apologize to Jenny

and replace her cell phone.

-Publicly? -Publicly.

She'll do it!

Of course!

Of course I will!

Excuse me, excuse me.

Let me get through here.

Why are you here, for what reason,

and under what circumstances?

You're so rude.

No good morning or good afternoon?

Good afternoon and good morning.

That's more like it. Nice to meet you.

I'm here to drop off some clothes

for a friend that works at V&M, for Betty.

Do you know her?

-Betty Rincon? -Yeah.

-Yeah, I know her! -You don't say!

I know who you are.

Who?

You don't know me, but I know you.

You're Nico.

-Nicolas Ramos. -That's right.

-You're famous here. -No kidding?

Yeah, with all the girls in the Squad.

That's cool, I've always wanted to be famous.

So you're Betty's boyfriend.

Uh... yeah!

-How about a selfie? -Sure, why not?

I'll tell her you're here.

I already told her to hurry

'cause my belly's not feeling too good. Thanks.

He's here.

I'm finally going to meet Ugly Betty's millionaire beau.

Excuse me.

Hey!

Nicolas.

Whoa!

What?

Just what I needed. Don't you laugh at me, too.

That's why I studied finance and not fashion.

That much is obvious.

Just kidding. Come here.

Who loves you?

Me.

Betty, no matter how ugly you dress up,

I'll never stop loving you, and I'll always be your friend.

You're not helping at all. Now go.

Betty, can I walk up with you?

No! Of course not!

But I want to see Patricia Fernandez.

No way! Get out of here!

-Please let me go up. -No, Nicolas, no.

Ouch! Wait, Betty.

-Just for a little bit. -No.

Where's my victim?

Where's Ugly Betty's boyfriend?

-He went that way. -That way?

-Yes. -Thanks, Wilfredo.

Oh, no.

That's Ugly Betty's boyfriend.

Turn around, Nicolas.

Patricia, how could he be good-looking?

You didn't even see his face.

But I saw his car, and he was standing next to it!

I can't get the image out of my head.

It was wonderful.

Are you sure that wasn't the driver?

The driver, Marcela? Please.

My blingdar never lets me down.

Ugly Betty's got a boyfriend, and he's a millionaire.

Well, that's incredibly absurd.

I know it is.

How can that dog have a wealthy boyfriend when I don't?

It's the latest trend in altruism.

What do you mean?

Men who have it all do charity to make themselves feel better.

And what better sacrifice than to date an exotic uggo?

Now I have to pay for that tramp's cell phone!

Where am I going to get the money?

Sofia, look on the bright side.

You didn't lose your job.

You're lucky Betty helped you.

At what cost?

At the cost of having to go someplace

to control my outbursts of anger?

What is that?

Well, I do think you could use a little help

to manage your anger.

I don't need to control my anger!

No, relax.

Yeah, I can tell you don't need it.

Hi.

How are you?

Oh, yeah, I know it.

At what time?

OK, OK.

See you there.

Bye.

Anger? Hello, anger?

Who were you talking to?

Wrong number.

Oh, yeah?

Your mood picked up.

Don't waste my time anymore.

I don't want Smith to catch me not working,

so I'd better get to it.

Excuse me.

Marce, ready for tonight?

The reservation's at 8:00.

Yes, I'll be going with Armando.

Armando went out. He said he'd meet us there.

What? Where'd he go?

I think he went to meet with a supplier.

Oh, I imagine he went with Beatriz.

Not that I know of. She left earlier.

Then we'll see each other there.

OK.

Anything else?

No. You?

-No. -See you there.

Sorry. There was a lot of traffic.

Why'd you change, Betty?

I wasn't that comfortable.

I think Mr. Daniel was right.

It was silly of me to think I could change my look.

Don't pay any attention to Daniel.

He'll never have anything nice to say about anyone.

Maybe not, but at least he's honest.

I really do think he's right.

I'll never be like Marcela.

I'll never be at your level or your family's.

I'm always going to look like this.

You think you have to compete with Marcela?

No, it's not that I have to compete,

but I think I should look good for you.

Look, Betty, understand that if I wanted to be

with someone like Marcela, I'd be with her.

You're right, Marcela's pretty, but I'm looking

for something more than that, which I found in you.

Yeah, right.

What do I have that Marcela doesn't?

I don't know. Those eyes.

Short-sighted.

And your smile.

With braces?

No, an honest smile.

Betty, when I look at you,

I see beyond your physical appearance.

Right?

I see you how you truly are.

What are you doing, Betty?

Dreaming.

-What happened? -We're not moving.

Yes. Lots of traffic.

So she either pays for my phone, or she's fired.

No, she can't be fired. Sofia can't lose her job.

Imagine if I had to support her, the kids,

and you, of course.

What? So you don't care?

You don't care about what happens to me.

-I do care. -No, you don't.

Lovebug, I do care. Be quiet.

-I will not be quiet. -I get that what she did was very bad,

but try to understand her.

Menopause makes you act crazy and out of control.

Not all of us.

Flabby old hags like her lose control and behave violently,

unlike young hardbodies like me.

What if next time she takes a cell phone from who knows where

and throws it at my face?

-Oh, please. -And ruins it.

No.

I'd be the one out of a job.

Yes, Sofia's crazy and hysterical.

Maybe a little bitter, too, and she loves drama.

But she'd never do something like that.

Let's take this problem and use it as an opportunity

to update your cell phone.

I'm going to buy you the nicest, most expensive...

You're not buying a thing.

This problem is between that hag and me.

If you meddle, you lose me forever.

Did you understand my English?

-Yes. -What's your password?

No.

Hey, Charly. Sorry I'm so late.

No.

I had to leave the kids at the house with those two vultures,

and it's like I'm living in hell.

I can imagine how sad you are

that Efrain is capable of something like that.

Let's just say that if crying was an Olympic sport,

I'd be a gold medalist.

But we don't have to talk about that.

I'm sorry that's all we ever talk about,

and you didn't sign up to be my crying towel.

I'll be whatever you want me to be.

You know how much I care about you.

That's exactly why I wanted us to come here.

I have a proposal for you.

Uh-huh?

Sofia Pena, do you want to move in with me?

I wonder why Armando hasn't arrived.

He shouldn't be long.

He texted me that he was on his way.

No, I'm fine.

I want one. I'm going to the bar.

Wait.

I wanted to ask you a question before Armando got here.

Ask away.

Why were you watching me get changed?

I don't know what you're talking about.

-You must be mistaken. -No, I'm not.

I saw your reflection on the door.

Tell me why you were staring at me.

For the same reason that you,

despite knowing I was watching,

continued to undress.

We're here.

Thanks for bringing me, Mr. Armando.

Hey. Just Armando.

We agreed to be less formal.

I'm still getting used to it.

We'll get used to it little by little.

Betty, I have a favor to ask of you.

Anything.

Never change.

Don't stop being the Betty I fell in love with.

I promise that from now on, no more extreme changes.

Thank you.

Love you.

Thank you.

-I'll help you. -No, don't worry about it.

Oh, my bag. Sorry.

Thanks.

Hey, Betty!

What happened, Betty?

Why'd you change out of your costume?

Yeah, Betty. Why?

You looked so pretty.

And famous!

You're all over social media.

UglyBetty

I tried to like the video, but it didn't let me.

It asked if I was serious.

Excuse me, I'm...

Wait, where are you going, Betty?

Since you were wearing a Halloween costume,

we brought you candy!

Carlita, take a picture of Betty

before she removes her mask.

Hey, it's not a mask! That's her face!

What's going on here?

No, everything's fine, Mr. Armando.

I was just about to go inside my house,

and they were just leaving.

Oh, and who's this?

Don't tell me he's got something to do with that screw-up.

No, Elvis. Don't make things worse.

Mr. Armando was just leaving, weren't you?

Look at how you defend him!

My deepest condolences, sir.

It must be awful to be with an ugly creature like her.

In fact, it must be worse than kissing your sister.

-Hey, hey! -No!

Hey, hey!

What the hell's wrong with you, man?

Get out of here!

Stay out of this, Mr. Demetrio!

This isn't any of your business.

It is because I called the police!

The cops? Let's go!

Mr. Armando, are you all right?

-I'm fine. -No, he's not.

Didn't you see what those animals did to him?

Bring him inside so your mom can treat his wounds.

No, that won't be necessary. It's fine.

Please do as I say. Come inside.

Come inside.

Cowards! Don't run!

-Everything OK? -Yes, fine.

I'm sick of you!

I kept undressing

because I wanted to see how long you'd stay.

If I hadn't turned around, you'd have kept on staring.

Marcela, please. It was an accident.

I went in to see if you wanted a ride,

and you were getting undressed.

I mean... it was just an awkward moment.

Very awkward.

Yeah, you're right, and I'm sorry.

You're with my best friend.

I don't want you to misinterpret things.

There's nothing to misinterpret.

Everything's crystal clear between us.

Great.

I promise next time I walk into your office,

it'll be like this so I don't get in trouble.

Don't be dramatic.

Yes, fine.

You're lucky it was me.

If it'd been someone else, they'd have kidnapped you.

Oh.

Yeah.

I think we'll have to wait for Mr. Armando Mendoza

a long time.

What?

You and I live together and...

No! Of course not!

I mean, together, but not together together.

You and the kids can stay in my room.

I can sleep in the living room.

We're decent people, you know?

Oh! I got confused.

I thought it included...

No! Of course not!

Unless...

Do you want to...

No!

-Me neither. -Oh.

I mean, I won't deny

that from time to time I do think about...

Really?

I do, too... from time to...

All right. Let's change the subject.

Yeah.

So when are you moving in with me?

Charly, I swear you're the best friend anyone could have,

but you see...

if the kids and I move in, we'd be in your way

and that's unfair.

And once I start the divorce, that's when the war will start.

If I move out, it'll be like I'm giving up my claim.

I don't think it's the smart thing to do.

But something I feel bad that I can't do more for you.

But you can do more.

You could...

buy me an ice cold beer.

-Sure. -Go.

Waiter, waiter!

What happened?

You know, the neighborhood kids grabbed Armando

and beat him up.

It's fine. We were just arguing, and tempers flared.

Thank you, but I...

-No, no. Come here. -No, ma'am.

Look at you. Sit.

When we went to Mexico,

we bought a jar of Pan Chancho cream. Let's find it.

-Have a seat. -Mom, isn't that diaper rash cream?

It'll help anyway.

We'll treat those wounds right now.

I'm going to get it. Stay with him, honey.

Betty.

Are you all right? Does it hurt?

I'm so sorry.

I just couldn't stand hearing them talk to you like that.

I'm used to it. They're not worth it.

Someone has to teach them a lesson, though.

They can't be telling people those things,

especially not you,

when you've got such a special and big heart.

-Betty! -Sorry.

What will you tell people?

That's not normal.

I don't know. I'll make something up.

-I should go. -Yeah.

-I'll tell them you got an important call. -Thank you.

We can't find the cream, but it'll turn up soon.

Betty, put a steak in a plastic bag to reduce the swelling.

Hurry, honey.

-Please don't worry. -Please sit down, Armando.

We'll treat those wounds, you'll see.

Thanks.

Let's toast

to Mr. Armando Mendoza

standing me up again.

He stood me up!

You know something? I admire you.

Yeah, I do.

It must not be easy to be a loyal friend like you,

when you have to cover up lies,

when you have to stop living your life to help other friends.

Marcela.

In this case Armando.

Do you really think I'm here out of obligation?

-Yeah. -No, Marcela.

I'd have left a long time ago

if I weren't having a good time.

If you weren't Armando's best friend, I'd believe you.

That's enough, miss. I'll take you to Armando.

No! No, no.

I'm staying here. And I'll have another one.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of coming home first.

Not this time. I'm staying here.

I'm sick of orbiting Armando all the time like...

It's exhausting! I'm exhausted!

I'm exhausted!

Marcela, Marcela. Stop it.

You know him.

Is it that I'm not good enough for him?

Tell me, Ricardo. What don't I have?

No... nothing. There's nothing you don't have.

-Cheers. -Yeah.

This music reminds me of when the four of us used to go out.

My wife loved it.

She wasn't a good dancer, though.

-Remember? -Efrain isn't good, either.

Remember how we used to say

they looked like they had bricks for feet.

But you and I were the king and queen of salsa and merengue.

-We only danced the slow jams with them. -Right.

Those were good times.

Well, let's not talk about them.

Why don't we go dance? Let's go.

Come on. I love this song.

Oh, my!

I guess we'll have to dance a slow one this time.

Literally.

We can't dance with anyone else this time.

Yeah.

We'd better sit down.

No, no.

It's my turn to ask you to dance.

No, but... Oh...

Oh...

Oh, my!

I think we have a little problem.

A little one? I think we have a big problem.

Yeah, this is embarrassing.

Well, dancing a slow song with you...

I knew this would happen.

We should go, right?

Well, why don't we... enjoy this.

Let's hope we can keep this up all night.

It'll be hard.

Armando, I know what you must be thinking.

Revenge.

But allow me to try a diplomatic solution.

I'll talk to those delinquents' families

so they'll discipline them.

No, don't worry, sir. I started the fight.

Oh, my!

How come?

He was... defending me.

I can't let anyone insult someone in my presence,

especially if they work for V&M.

Are you always around all your employees' homes

at night?

No, he was on his way to meet his fiancée.

That's why he has to go. They have a date.

Yeah, I should go. Here's your steak, sir.

No, you take it.

No, no. His fiancée is waiting for him.

She'll take good care of him.

Thank you very much for everything.

See you tomorrow, Betty.

Excuse me.

You know, Ricardo,

this is the closest I'll get

to being carried across a threshold.

I'm pretty sure Armando will pull this same stunt

on my wedding day.

Marcela, try to get some rest.

I'll call you tomorrow to see how you're doing.

Ta-ta! Thanks, thanks...

He needs to go help his friend

with his female emergency.

Armando probably ran out of condoms.

Yeah. That's right.

He was probably on a date.

They're all the same...

all men are the same.

All of them.

For the first time, the man I love stood up for me.

Now I know he loves me as much as I love him.

He'd die for me, and I'd die for him.

Today I found out what it's like to be loved and protected

by a man.

I'm not alone. Armando is with me.

I'll be with him forever.

Bro, where are you?

If I told you...

It's a miracle I'm alive. Where are you?

Marcela won't answer her phone.

Well, she's had a few drinks.

What?

Marcela's drunk?

That's hard to believe.

Believe it.

I had to hear her wallowing all night.

You owe me one.

You'd better have a good excuse.

I got in a fight with some delinquents.

Good enough?

What? You got mugged?

Well, they took my pride.

It all started after I dropped Betty off at her house.

She was about to go inside when I turned around

and there were, like, eight of them...

Sofia!

Hey!

What kind of time is this to come home?

Where were you and who were you with?

Who were you out with? A man?

No.

I wasn't out with anyone. I was out with a body.

And you've no idea the firm, divine and good body.

A real body, not some wannabe.

Oh, please! You think you're funny.

You weren't out with any man.

You went out with those gossipy friends of yours.

Believe what you want.

Oh! All right.

And you reek of alcohol!

Have you no shame? We have kids!

Shame!

What about you? You!

You brought that skanky bimbo to your wife's house,

and you're sleeping with her 30 feet from your kids!

Lower your voice!

Why should I? Are you worried?

Instead of worrying about who I'm spending my nights with,

you should worry about finding another job,

because if that bimbo gets me fired,

you'll have to support my kids and me!

-That's not going to happen! -It will happen!

Here, take this money so you can buy Jenny a new phone.

Lovebug!

Give it!

What's with all the yelling?

What are you doing with this flabby old hag?

-It's just... -She's a flabby old hag.

We're done. Let's go to bed.

She's drunk. Look at her.

-Let's go. -No, wait.

A word of advice from me to you.

If I were you, I'd go to bed right now.

Otherwise, those wrinkles will be really visible tomorrow.

And you need to get a new job,

and I don't think they're looking for old hags!

Dream on!

They'll fire you before they fire me!

-Flabby! -Don't run away!

Don't run away.

Nothing can kill my mood.

Oh, I had a good time!

He really got you good, man.

Will you look at that.

Don't tell me you finally saved up enough money

to buy some rollerblades.

Wait, I know.

The wall was in a bad mood.

-Oh! -Hey, man.

Laugh all you want, nerd. You should see the other guy.

Oh, sure!

If I hadn't stepped in, you'd have gotten killed.

If we hadn't grabbed him, you'd have ended up like a piñata.

Nico, tell Betty this isn't the end of it.

How do you mean?

Did Betty hit you or something?

Yeah, it turns out Betty has a boyfriend,

and he's really handsome.

-Her boyfriend? -Yeah, how'd she do it?

What does he look like?

He's beautiful. He's got light eyes and scruff.

He's got the most incredible black car.

-An incredible car? -I bet it flies.

And he's rich!

You don't know him?

He doesn't, and he never will.

Next time he shows up here will be the last time.

Ooh! A gift card!

I love it!

-Hey. -Hey.

That's so nice!

Is it your first monthaversary already?

Yeah... that's right.

Is it him?

No, that's my doll.

Oh, that's great.

I would've loved Efrain to have celebrated

at least one of the 15 years we spent together.

But no.

I'm here to talk about something important.

Remember about the skank's phone?

I have no way to pay for it.

I swear I tried to find a way, but there's nothing I can do.

Sofia, you made a commitment.

If you don't replace it, you'll lose your job.

I know and I want to pay for it,

but I have no way to do it.

I was wondering if you could talk to Smith

and tell him that you'll pay for it.

I'll find another job or borrow some money,

but please help me.

Don't worry.

I'll figure something out. Don't worry.

-Really? -Yeah.

OK.

Thanks.

OK.

Hi, Mariana, the squad needs to meet urgently.

Make sure Sofia doesn't find out.

Yeah, I'll explain later.

Hey, there! How's it going?

People think that I, Armando, am a lying womanizer

who wants to fool Betty, when in reality...

Why don't you check out this Behind the Scenes

and draw your own conclusions?

We're at the High Line in New York.

He's my boss.

He's awesome.

Are you happy?

It's easy with a pro like him.

We're having a really good time.

He's teaching me because it's my first day.

I'm having a better day.

Better than yesterday? That's because I'm here.

We're having...

I want him for myself.

You just love being surrounded by beautiful women.

Armando needs to mature a bit.

Oh, Armando! You're...

I think he's the perfect man.

Maybe some have accused him of being a womanizer,

but hey, women are all over him.

He has a bit of a problem.

He probably takes after his father.

He loves women, models.

It's a side of Roberto you don't and won't know.

It's hard for him to fill his father's shoes.

But we all try to help him.

Betty more than anyone else, the poor thing.

He's a bit absent-minded,

and things can get messy around him,

but he's a good guy.

I'm fond of him.

I love Armando more.

Of course. She's his fiancée.

-I'm just his assistant. -I'm going to marry him.

I love him more.

Mr. Armando...

He's very sweet with me.

He was one of the first guys to treat me like a human

and to not judge me by my looks.

Three of his virtues?

He's handsome.

He's empathic.

And lastly, kindness.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this Behind the Scenes

and now have a better opinion of me.

See you next week.

Today, Operation Woo Betty begins.

Today?

Tonight, the romance of a lifetime begins.
