Do you know the words to "Happy Birthday"?

Yes, yes.

It's your time to shine, Patricia.

Get out there and find out what's going on.

Get low! Get low!

Look who I ran into!

-So? -Oh...

Nowhere!

Do you think Betty could go out dancing with us for a bit?

It's a little late for a lady to be out so late, honey.

We'll have her back after two songs.

Fine, you have my permission.

They attacked us and we acted in self-defense.

That lunatic attacked us! Look, look!

Let's figure this out at the station.

Yes, let's go to the station. Have them locked up.

You have the right to remain silent.

Silent? What are you doing?

What? Marcela! What are you doing? No!

Marce!

Betty, your big night starts now.

No, no, no! No!

-What's wrong? -No, I don't want to do this.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I just don't want to be with you.

What? I thought you were happy,

-that you wanted to be here with me. -Yeah, but I was wrong, I...

I want to leave.

Calm down.

No, no. I can't talk now.

It's okay, calm down.

I thought you wanted this, that you were happy.

Yeah, but I'm not. I was wrong.

I'm sorry, Betty. It's okay.

I should call a taxi, Mr. Armando.

No, what?

Are we back to being formal with each other?

Betty, it's me. Armando.

I won't do anything you don't want me to, okay?

Relax.

Get dressed. I'll take you home.

-Should I call the police? -Yes, call them!

I'd love to see the look on their faces when you tell them

your lover moved you into his wife's and kids' home.

Go ahead, call them. Let's see whose side they take.

-Call them! -Ah!

No, lovebug. Don't call anyone.

-Calm down. -She's threatening you, lovebug.

You know what? If you were a little smarter,

you'd leave this house and you'd leave us alone.

What, you think I'm stupid enough to leave?

Well, nope!

Everything you see in this house...

Everything you see in this house!

Everything, except for you,

belongs to me.

You can keep that waste of space!

Take him!

Oh, you're sick in the head.

You know? You should see a psychiatrist.

Even your children know that you're not well.

They feel better with me than they do with you.

Don't mess with my children! Not them, you bitch!

Not them!

Sofia, please calm down!

-What? -Please calm down!

-Make me! -No!

That belonged to my mother! My mother gave that to us!

I never liked it. And you know what else?

I never liked Aunt Hortensia's gift either.

Watch what I do to her favorite cat!

No! that's...

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

It's okay. Everything's okay.

Everything's okay. Do you believe me?

It's okay.

Come on, let's get go.

Up we go. It's okay, everything's okay.

Are you okay?

My God.

Why won't you answer? Where are you?

-Oh! -She can't possibly be sleeping.

Who are you calling at this hour?

It's Charly, isn't it? Who is he?

Sofia's lover, honey.

Sofia's lover? What are you talking about?

This is the juiciest bit of gossip. I knew I'd figure it out!

You know what?

Every woman who's ever been cheated on

should cheat on her ex with his best friend.

She has no shame.

No wonder she was happy,

and she wore a red dress and a thong.

-She changed her undies. -Babe, are you okay?

-Yes. -Do you want me

to make you some chilaquiles, tortas ahogadas or pancakes?

-Whatever you want. -I'll have some chilaquiles, honey.

Your chilaquiles.

-We have unfinished business. -Oh, God!

-Yes, now that I solved the mystery -Yes, yes.

my mind and body can focus on you.

Let the 4th of July begin early!

Get ready to see fireworks!

Come on!

Oh, Enrique!

-Betty. -Huh?

I'm sorry, but I'd really like you to tell me what's wrong.

No, I can't. No, I can't.

I just couldn't. I don't know.

Did I do something wrong? Did I offend you?

No.

No, it's not you, Mr. Armando.

It's me.

I'm sorry.

Mom, why are we in your room?

-Go on. -You never let us sleep here.

But tonight, I want you both to sleep here with me.

-Can we? -Are you scared?

Yes.

That's why I need us to hold each other all night long.

Why did you break those things?

Are you mad at Dad and Mommy Jenny?

Don't call her that.

You only have one mother, and that's me!

She's the one who's making us call her that.

No, honey. No, no, no.

Not at all. I'm not mad at you.

You make me very happy.

You're the only reason I fight and why I don't give up.

Fight?

Let's just say...

...that they're like terrible monsters who attack us

and you and I are the good guys.

You're obviously going to side with me, right?

Yes.

I want to apologize.

I know I've been a little grouchy and all weepy lately,

because that's what happens,

but I assure you it has nothing to do with you.

Having you makes me the happiest mother in the world.

You've done nothing wrong, okay?

So Dad and Jenny are the problem?

Jonathan and I don't like to see you like this, Mom.

You looked pretty crazy breaking everything.

Crazy like someone in a movie?

-Yeah. -How crazy?

Very crazy.

Well, it's just that there are some things around the house

that I don't like and I think we should redecorate.

That's why I broke those things.

Everything's okay, though.

Why don't we play Little House in the Forest?

-Okay. -Yeah?

-One, two, three. -Three!

Ah!

Scoot over!

Sweetie, I heard you come in.

You're back early. I thought you'd be back later.

Well, I came back because dad was all worried.

Oh, sweetie, don't mind your dad.

His mind is stuck in the Dark Ages.

What's wrong, sweetie? Are you sad?

No, no.

I guess my birthday has me feeling a bit nostalgic.

Everything's fine, though. Don't worry.

Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?

No, no. I'm fine.

Happy birthday!

Mom!

Could you close the door, please?

Amorosito, what do I do? What do I do with this pain?

What do I do?

Armando.

Marcela, I didn't know you were here.

Should I not be here? Does it bother you?

No, I just didn't expect to see you here.

I thought you were at your apartment.

How did it go at Beatriz's birthday party?

Fine, fine. Nothing to write home about.

Did you miss me?

Of course. Everyone asked about you.

What about you? Did you think about me?

-All the time. -Really?

Armando!

No.

Why me?

Why me?

No, no, no! No!

-What's wrong? -I don't want this.

What's the matter? Calm down.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I just don't want to be with you.

Are you okay?

Yeah, but I can't sleep.

I can't blame you.

That was spectacular!

-You think? -It was amazing.

I haven't felt this close to you in a long time.

-I love you. -Me too.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Betty, you have the starring role in the gossip of the year.

Girl, we didn't know you had it in you.

I never would've expected that from you.

And you look so innocent.

Stay away from my man.

Mayday!

You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Our love is real!

You should be grateful that they did you the favor,

and recorded it.

Believe me, this was your first and last time.

Oh, dear!

Where's our little lovesick porn star going?

Betty, girl!

You can come over to my place and we'll make a new video after work.

What do you say?

Beatriz Aurora,

what is the meaning of that video?

No, no! Don't watch that video!

Oh, Mrs. Juli.

Your tamales are on point! You get an A+.

-An A+ -I'm glad you liked them.

Why weren't you at the party?

You're always here,

but yesterday you missed out on such an important occasion.

I was at the doctor, sir.

My head really hurt. Here, right here,

and I thought I was dying. So I decided to leave.

My mouth was super dry too.

The doctor said it was a 24-hour bug.

They called that a hangover where I come from.

You're not sick?

You were downing margaritas like they were water.

Really, Mrs. Juli?

I'm gone for one minute and you give into sin and alcohol?

-How could you? -Why not? It was a party.

Betty's boss also had a few drinks.

Mr. Armando was here too?

-Yes, and he's a very classy man. -You don't say.

You should have heard what he said about Betty.

He was so classy, but most of all

-he was really grateful to her. -Yes.

It was exciting.

-That's cool. -Yeah, I said, "How exciting."

Hi. I'm leaving.

Have some breakfast. You're too thin.

-I'll get something at the office. -Okay, sweetie.

Or you can have something here.

I doubt your boss will be in early.

I heard he came to the party last night.

Yes, he stopped by yesterday. Okay, I'm off.

Have a great day, honey. Take care.

See you later.

Boys, hurry up so we can get to school on time.

-Mom? -Yes?

I know what I want for my birthday.

What would you like?

-A phone. -What?

No.

No, honey. You can't have a phone.

Hurry up and finish your breakfast.

Everyone else at school has one.

Yes, but your mom is broke, boys.

I'll ask you to stay out of it, this...

...is between the boys and me.

Hurry up and finish breakfast.

I just wanted to help.

That's all.

Well, don't.

Just so you know, money isn't the problem.

A phone isn't a toy.

These boys won't own a phone until they're 18.

Understood?

Are you sure?

What about you?

Understood.

Please hurry.

Marce!

It was awful! I mean, you have no idea!

It's very cold in there

and I couldn't sleep because they moment I dozed off,

they'd have stolen all my things. Even my shoes!

Can I make things worse? You wreak.

Marcela, don't be like that!

You should be putting me on a pedestal

because no one else would do what I've done for you.

I brought you a change of clothes.

It's in the car, so you can change.

Okay, thank you, Marce.

Hey, I need to know that this was all worth it.

What happened with Armando? Tell me.

Tell me it was worth it and that you caught him this time.

What happened?

Did he come home smelling like another woman's perfume?

Did he even make it home?

Or worse! He came home to you but he didn't touch you all night?

We're better than ever, Patricia.

I'm certain that the only woman in Armando's life is me!

What? No, Marcela!

You can't tell me all this suffering was for nothing!

Would you rather I caught him with another woman?

-No! -Then?

No, I mean, there could have been a bit more mystery,

or action, Marce!

Something!

I mean, my one night in this dungeon

should've been worth it.

How boring!

The look on your face tells me Betty's insatiable, bro.

Did she have fun? She kept you up all night, huh?

Was it a lovemaking marathon?

Nothing like that happened. Everything went wrong.

No, no. Hold on.

Okay, tell me your horrific tale, and spare no detail.

Not even the dirty ones. I want to know everything.

How was it? Were you traumatized by sleeping with an ugly woman?

-Is she a screamer? -No, no.

No, no, I have no details. Nothing happened between us.

She told me she wanted nothing to do with me.

What? Are you serious?

Armando, that can't be. That monster rejected you?

Yes, yes. I don't know what happened.

She was happy,

but something happened when we got to the room.

There's no going back at that point. A woman wouldn't do that.

Much less one as desperate as Betty.

Bro, are you sure you did everything right?

Yeah, this isn't my first time seducing a woman.

I know her very well.

I felt, when I kissed her,

how her voice changed.

She had goose bumps.

But then she suddenly became someone else.

I don't understand.

What did you think? That I wouldn't find out?

I know everything!

Everything!

I know who you're seeing, you naughty girl.

And I applaud you, you know?

Although, I don't know if I forgive you

from keeping this from me.

You may not want to admit it,

but I'm your best friend, Sofia.

What's wrong, girl?

What is it?

I'm going to go crazy if I keep living like this, I swear.

I can't take it anymore.

Yesterday, I almost destroyed the entire house.

What happened this time?

Hell happened.

Efrain and I were fighting

and then that tramp came to spew her venom.

We were screaming horrible things at each other

and things started to fly. I couldn't control myself.

If I hadn't noticed the kids standing near the staircase,

I would've beaten them both.

Oh, Sofi, I'm so sorry.

This situation is out of control.

I swear I've tried doing things.

I've tried going out with you all to distract myself,

especially for the kids,

but seeing that woman in my house, makes my blood boil.

It's more than I can take, each...

I'm scared.

I don't know how to live alone.

I got married to have a husband,

so I could make a home and have a family, so I... I...

Now, I don't have anything! Nothing! I'm empty!

There's nothing.

Of course you have something.

You have two beautiful boys, your squad of friends

who love you a lot, and you have me...

in good times and bad.

But you've got to call the lawyer today.

You have to put an end to this situation you're in, now.

-Right, right. -Very well.

Thank you.

Good morning, Wilson.

What?

Don't watch it.

Giovas.

Eleven inches.

Look, Giovas! Come here! Look!

Come, look!

Don't look.

Bro, that's a bad joke.

Ugly girls don't reject guys like you.

Women like her pay anything to sleep with men like us.

Well, not Betty.

I don't know. Something was wrong.

It was like she was afraid of me.

Seriously?

So, what did you do?

I've heard that after taking those pills,

there's no way to stop your machinery.

You're on the interstate with no brakes.

Marcela was waiting for me at home.

Hey... that's some night you had, bro.

I think it's the curse of dating a troll.

They rob you of your seduction skills.

Stop laughing. It's not funny. This is serious.

I thought I had a connection with Betty, but no.

Something is keeping us apart.

Yeah, let me see.

Lies, betrayal... you not being in love with her.

Bro, bro, look at me.

Remember that all of this is just to get the company back.

You don't love the troll.

Don't call her that!

Cut it out!

What we're doing to her is bad enough.

I'd like to attribute this behavior to your wounded ego,

but don't defend her so much.

You might actually fall in love with her.

My head...

Hangovers should be considered a medical disability.

We didn't even drink that much.

Maybe you didn't, but I drank everything.

I'm careful. You're not.

What's up, Betty?

-Hi, Betty. -Hi, girls.

Come, you have to see this. Look.

No! Don't watch that video!

Don't watch it!

Betty, Betty...

how did it go with Nicolas?

Nothing.

-Nothing, bye. -Huh?

Bro, you can't get weak on me now!

Come on, bro! Come, on!

You've got to sleep with her by any means necessary.

Come on, come on! Focus!

Good morning.

Good morning.

-What did she say? -"No, nothing, bye".

That's how her night must've gone.

I'm sure something happened with Nicolas.

Or maybe nothing happened at all.

Or maybe something did happen, but it was awful.

You think?

Of course. That's normal the first time.

According to the studies, and I've read many,

for most women, the first time is terrible.

You don't think this is her first time, do you?

I do.

Well, I was just asking.

Poor thing. She was so excited.

Goes to show that all sewer rats are the same.

We've got to hold an intervention

or she'll be traumatized for life.

-Bro. -What?

I left her a gift and a card,

thanking her for an amazing night.

-Get it out of there! -What?

-Get her out! -What do I do?

She can't open it!

-You can't let her read it. -What do I do?

I don't know. Get her out.

-Betty, Betty, no! -What? What?

-What's going on? -No, no!

No, no! I don't want to go on like this.

Did you sleep well?

Yes, you?

Hey... did you get me these flowers?

Yes, I bought them for you.

I wanted to make your morning. Yeah...

...I felt really bad about what happened last night.

Don't worry.

We don't have to talk about that, especially not here.

Yeah, yeah.

I promise we'll only talk about work.

-Okay. -That's why I need your opinion

on a new deal we're working on.

So, come with me.

-Right now? I just got here. -Don't worry,

we'll be right back. Let's go.

Fine, let's go.

How nice.

"Last night will forever be ingrained in my memory.

Our first time in the flowerbed of love."

Hey, Marce...

What do you mean?

I know I owe you some money,

but I spent the night in jail for you.

Okay. We're even.

One more thing. Please don't tell anyone

about what happened, I'll die. I don't want anyone to unfollow me.

Of course not.

In fact, I'll tell Armando you're late

because I gave you permission, okay?

You sure?

Yes.

Now that I trust him, I know how to deal with him.

Does that mean I can go get a sandwich?

-I'm hungry, Marce. -Just don't take long, Patricia.

What are you looking at?

We'd have to move this amount

and increase it by 80%

so we we're not as affected by the depreciation.

What? What is it?

Betty, I know you don't want to talk,

but I need to know what happened last night.

-It's something I don't... -Yeah, but

I couldn't sleep.

I think there's enough trust between us.

I don't want to make you feel bad,

but what's your problem with me? Did I do something?

The thing is it's hard for me...

If I didn't know you two, I'd say you look

like two lovebirds talking about love,

about something that happened last night.

What is it, Hugo? What do you need?

You. I need you.

You asked for some sketches and I want to show you.

Let's go.

I'm in the middle of something. I can't.

Oh, so she's...

...more important than me?

I'll remind you...

...that I'm the one who keeps V&M alive on the market,

me and my designs.

But as you wish.

If I don't meet my deadlines, it'll be your fault, not mine.

It's fine, Mr. Armando.

I can wait and Mr. Hugo can't.

Exactly, Mr. Hugo can't.

Come on. Get up.

-Let's go. -Excuse me.

Let's go.

I love this sentence.

"Your powerful virility fills..."

Who is it now?

Hello?

Why are you just now telling me?

I obviously don't have anyone to go pick up Tommy.

No, I can't leave!

No, I can't go get him.

I'll figure something out. Bye, bye.

Hey! Giovas!

Hi, Giovas. I'm glad I ran into you.

I've got a problem.

I don't have anyone to pick up Tommy.

Could you do me the favor?

Of course I could.

-Thank you! -But I won't.

Why not?

Ask your little friend,

the one you went out with last night.

Really? You're jealous?

It's called dignity and it's very different.

I'm sorry, but excuse me.

No, no, no! Sorry, but no!

I need the models from before. Don't you get it?

I need stars to make my collection shine.

We give you what we can.

-You must understand. -Oh, yeah?

All you have to give me are these leftovers?

Sure, she's got an amazing body,

but her face screams low rent Paulina Rubio impersonator.

Hugo, V&M can't afford those types of luxuries right now.

We already spoke about this.

It's only for this catalogue.

-That's it. -Remember we're making sacrifices

-for the company. -Yes, all of us.

No, this is a conspiracy.

The three of you are conspiring against me.

-No! -Of course you are.

I'm tired of talking about money!

Do I call you to help me design? No, right?

The thing is that you don't realize.

That I, Hugo,

am an artist.

-Sure we do. -We know.

Of course.

Hugo, we're very close

-to being out of this crisis, right? -Yes.

Then you'll have the budget you want.

Just help us this one time. One time and that's it.

Please, Hugo.

Do this catalogue with the model we have.

I think she looks great. What do you think?

-She looks great. -Yes.

Yes, yes.

Fine, don't beg me. It's fine.

But next time,

I want to make clear that I need

glamorous models with class.

I need models with lots of "she's got it."

Girl, come here.

I want you to know that thanks to V&M's crisis,

you just became the new catalogue model.

This is incredible!

I'm so excited!

I have tons of "she's got it."

I won't let you down. I promise.

Ines!

I'm going to be the new face of "she's got it."

Thank you.

Betty.

We know everything.

No, but...

-Everything? -Everything.

Who told you?

Oh, honey, we know you well enough

to know that your rendezvous with Nicolas was a bust, right?

Nicolas, yes.

Don't worry, though.

We know that first times aren't always the best.

-Right, girls? -Yeah.

My first time is a very long story.

Yeah.

My first time went great.

I ended up pregnant.

Well, the point is we want you to know

that we're here for you,

that we support you and that you can count on all of us

for whatever you may need.

Okay, thank you.

I appreciate it, but I really don't feel comfortable

talking about these things.

We don't either, but, look,

if you need someone to listen

to the most intimate details of your life,

I'll make the sacrifice.

Thanks, but can I get back to work now?

Go, go, go.

-Give me a break! -What are you laughing at?

Sacrifice.

Dang.

Where's the card?

Hello, you sweet old lady.

May I speak to my friend Betty?

She's a young lady who works there.

Nico, you're four months older than me.

Not anymore. You just passed me.

So birthday girl, where do you want to celebrate?

Nowhere. After last night, I'm out.

No, Betty.

I don't know how you're going to do it,

but you've got to figure it out on your own.

As for me, I'm spending my entire paycheck on you.

I wasn't at the party yesterday

and I need to celebrate with you.

No, Nico, not today. Let's save it for next year.

Very funny.

Start thinking of where you want to have dinner.

I'll be picking you up. Bye!

Hey, bud! How's it going?

How were the party and the hangover?

No hangover here. Nope.

In fact, I wanted to keep partying.

Then pick a date and we'll go out dancing.

Yeah!

Sounds good. When?

The weekend?

Yeah, let's do it this weekend.

Actually, I was going to tell you that the other day

I met someone on Face that goes to your gym.

We've been chatting. Don't get mad, okay?

Why would I? Who is it?

I'm just saying.

That witch!

What is it, buddy? I barely said a word,

and you're breathing fire.

Check this out. It's La Pantera.

She's sending me a video to taunt me.

Sandra, I hope you're ready to hand over your scepter.

I'm going to pulverize you.

If you want to back out, now's the time!

La Pantera shows no mercy in the ring.

This is you right now.

This is you right now.

...and this is how I'm going to leave you.

She's trying to intimidate me, but it won't work.

No, she's just trying to make you mad.

It's part of her magic, right?

She talks a big game.

She's bragging to everyone about beating me,

but we've never even fought before.

I've had it with her.

Well, she's...

She's just trying to break your concentration.

I don't care if I get disqualified.

I don't care if I get disqualified.

As soon as I see her, I'll give her a beating

-she'll never forget! -Why are you so mad?

Sorry, pal.

I'm sorry... really.

Geez.

Yikes.

Who were you chatting with?

What?

You said you were chatting with someone.

Yeah, on Facebook!

The juice guy. He's awesome.

I'm going to be late. I've got to go, bud.

-Bye. -Cool.

I'm sorry, man... really.

I'm going to be the new model in Hugo's catalogue.

-Isn't that amazing, Giovis? -Wow!

-Look at you! -Of course.

I'm going to be on the cover.

The only girl in the new collection.

Sure, Mr. Hugo is a little demanding,

but he realized I'm the best out of all the women there.

He even begged me. He got on his knees and said:

"Jenny Wendy, I want you to be my muse."

Wow! I'd say:

Let me give you a hug to congratulate you.

You're not only blessed with beauty, but luck too, doll.

No, no. Don't get it twisted, Giovis.

That isn't luck. It's called natural beauty.

-Oh, yeah. -Of course.

Since I'm such a good person,

life is very good to me.

Not like other saggy hags, who are evil

and karma has it out for them... for the rest of their lives.

Like my grandmother would say...

What is it she would say?

Oh! What goes around...

goes around.

No, what goes around comes around.

-Yes. -And how about

we celebrate your luck with some coffee

that's hot like me? Sound good?

Would you like to?

-Yes, let's go. -Let's go, then.

This way, princess. Excuse, me.

Come, this way. My God!

This is great!

-Did you see that? -What?

Did you see that or am I the only one hallucinating?

Did you see how that pea-brained slut was provoking me?

She was provoking you?

Good grief, Bertha! Did you notice or not?

No! You did great by acting like nothing happened.

Get it through your head, Sofia.

This will all be over as soon as you divorce your ex.

Did you call the lawyer?

Did you call the lawyer?

I told you Hugo would listen to me, sweetie.

Yes, I didn't have the patience to deal

with his diva-like antics. You did great.

See?

There are things I can do well.

-Yes. -We're a great team, honey.

Yes, we are.

Especially after last night.

-It was magical. -Yes, yes.

-Like in Paris. -I remember perfectly.

Let's get to work. We've got a lot to do.

-Are you okay? -Yes, why?

You don't seem like the same person as last night.

I haven't changed...

Sorry to interrupt,

but I just wanted to let you know I'm going on my lunch break

and that I may take a few minutes longer.

Wow, don't tell me

you're still celebrating your birthday, Beatriz.

Yes, I'm going to keep celebrating

at a very nice restaurant

that my boyfriend Nicolas invited me to.
