NO ONE WILL MISS US

...the satellite will be in orbit for 19 years around the Earth.

It's planned that...

What do we need a satellite for?

They'd better fix all the mess they've made.

It's been a crap year.

Are you okay, sweetie? You're so quiet.

I'm fine, Dad.

Oh, this damn traffic.

Move it!

Ugh! I'm moving!

HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION HIGH SCHOOL

-What happened? We said 7:00. -It's 7:15.

Being on time is key for any business.

Let's go.

Is it all there?

Only Gero's is missing. He owes us a lot though.

No money, no goods.

-He'll lose it. -Too bad. You'll take care of it.

I won't let you down.

You're late on payments.

I'm not getting my allowance, but I swear I'll pay.

And I'll be here when you bring the money.

No, man! You can't do this, I need it.

Look, Gero...

You can beat me up,

but that won't solve your problem.

I have a business to run.

Here. Last week's.

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

-See you next week. -Thanks.

I told you, Memo.

Look, just like prison.

If someone bullies you, pick a fight with the biggest guy.

I won't lie, he might beat the shit out of you.

Little by little, you'll earn their respect though.

All right, Memo.

It's getting late.

Hey! Guy!

Guy! Guy!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Guy! Guy!

Hey.

You dropped this.

Damn. Life saver. Thanks.

It's nothing.

-No worries. -No, you did.

Almost anyone would've kept it.

You're new, right?

Hey, do you know where 5B is?

This one?

No, fuck you! Stop!

Don't worry. Just try to keep a low profile.

Got it?

What's your name?

-Memo. -Good luck, Memo.

I'm Alex. I owe you.

-Now what! -Look at the little guy.

-It's taken. -Oh, sorry.

Good morning, everybody.

Please, take your seats.

I said, sit down.

May I come in?

García, it's only Monday and you're already late?

-I'm sorry! -Come in, quick.

This is my seat.

I can move. Sit here, Marifer.

Hurry up, Alex.

-Marifer. -Camacho, come here, front and center.

You'll solve the first exercise.

Let's see if your classmate is capable of solving it.

Meanwhile, I'll take attendance.

-Álvarez. -Here.

-Alvarado. -Here.

-Benítez. -Here.

-Betancourt. -Here.

Boyard, Jorge Emilio.

Here.

-Leyva Camisao, Francisco. -Here.

Palacios.

You skipped me.

No, I didn't.

I'm talking to Mr. Palacios. The new one.

Guillermo Palacios, right?

Palacios, you just got here, right?

Have you already adopted your classmates' bad habits?

What are you hiding in your hand?

Bring that piece of paper to the front of the class.

I give you the opportunity to share that information with the class.

Read what it says.

We all want to know what's in there.

-Yes! -Go on. Share it with us.

No, I can't.

What do you mean?

Can't you read?

Maybe you'd rather have the principal come read it.

Share it.

Go on.

"Are you okay? What happened with Alex?"

"Alex wouldn't sleep with me. Don't tell anyone."

Go back to your seat, please.

Hey, quiet.

-Go back to your place. -Damn.

Don't you want to sleep with me?

Hey, quiet everybody!

Grab a piece of paper. Pop quiz.

-What? No! -Why?

Hey! I'm not the one you need to thank.

You can all thank your new classmate, Mr. Palacios.

Now everyone will think I want to hook up with Alex.

Technically, you did try to hook up with him.

That's the basic rule, Alex. Don't shit where you eat.

Dude, it's not a big deal.

I don't get why he didn't want to.

Men just want to hook up.

And how do you know that?

Because I know things.

What if you two break up?

We're not breaking up.

He's not into me. That's it.

Right?

You didn't want to...

do stuff with her.

It's the beginning of the end.

Why didn't you?

Will he dump me?

Don't say that. He's into you.

You're the perfect couple.

-Even though... -What?

We were watching Child's Play.

I mean, Child's Play. It's hardly a turn on.

You watched Pink Shoelaces, right? The best soap opera.

Martin stopped caring for Vanessa

because he's got a crush on Paola.

Do you think he's into someone else?

No. No!

I don't even know why I said that.

Thanks.

Thanks.

We all know what happened.

Well... What didn't.

-We must be professionals. -Sorry!

Pole law!

-Damn. He didn't last long. -Poor guy.

-What are you doing? -Pole law!

-Do not alter the ecosystem. -Alex!

-Pole law! -Alex!

-Pole law! -No, please!

What's up?

-What are you up to? -Move, Alex.

Look, he's scared. Let him go.

-You used to do the same. -I used to be a dick.

Are you calling me a dick?

-I think he is. -Yeah.

No, but remind me.

What's the GPA you need to keep playing soccer?

Are you threatening me?

Not at all.

I'm just saying that we might not be able to help.

They're not even that good.

I got a C in the Chemistry test.

What did you expect, Erick?

-At least an A-plus, right? -Wait.

The teacher has to believe it was you.

-Oh, right. -Right. But...

Should we let him go? He's heavy.

Put him down.

Be careful, someone might find out.

You don't want that.

I'm just saying you should be careful.

Hey.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Memo. I said keep a low profile.

I thought they'd beat you up.

We shouldn't pick a fight with Diego.

Daniela is right.

He's a very important client.

-He's an asshole. -An asshole with money and pals.

I'm sorry.

He needs protection.

He's right. They'll eat him alive.

And then?

We're not a charity.

We don't know if we can trust him.

He looks so dangerous, Tenoch.

Remember when you first arrived here.

Wouldn't you have wanted someone's help?

Yes, but there was no one around.

I'm just saying we should give him a shot.

Okay, just so no one thinks I'm heartless.

Memo.

What subjects are you good at?

Math, Physics, Spanish, History, Art?

What was your GPA at your last school?

C, I think.

Not even a C+?

There's no way.

He's got to be good at something.

Stapling the papers?

We know he cracks under pressure.

We already have one of those.

We don't need two.

Too bad.

Good luck in high school.

Do your best.

Good luck.

Marifer!

We need to talk about last night.

I don't want to talk now, Alex.

Not only did you reject me,

but now all those stupid guys in class know what happened.

Even Mr. Julio, the janitor, asked if I was all right.

It's all my fault.

Yes. Actually, it is.

-Are you into someone else? -No.

I'm not into anyone.

Well, I'm into you.

Guys, you have your entire life for romance,

but just one hour for English. Get inside.

Miss, is that real English?

Oh, Benny.

Hey.

Why didn't you say you were good at English?

I don't know.

You understood the song, though, right?

Sort of.

There's an Ace of Base song I love.

Yeah.

Could you translate it? I'd like to know what I'm singing.

Sure.

Meanwhile, I'll talk with Tenoch about you, okay?

Okay, cool. Thank you.

If we include someone else, we'd have to divide profits by five.

Tenoch, no one's good in English.

They can't even ask for the bathroom.

Besides, if someone helps Marifer,

we could get more people, more clients, and more money.

And now, with her relationship issues, it's good to have backup.

Exactly. Marifer and Alex's relationship isn't working.

-How do you know? -I have a theory.

Have you watched Pink Shoelaces?

Memo.

Yes, you...

Poor thing, getting rejected like that.

I know, so embarrassing.

What was she expecting?

I mean, Alex and I dated...

Compared to me, she's, like, so skinny.

Of course he wouldn't want to.

She's a weirdo, but I don't think she's ugly.

She's not ugly, but Alex is way hotter than her.

I mean, nothing happened with you two.

Because I didn't want to.

I don't know, I thought he was with her out of pity.

And that's fine, but it's too much now.

He's been weird since his mom's.

He even broke up with you.

I'm sure he regrets it.

-We weren't talking about you. -No.

The other Marifer, in 12th grade.

Yeah.

Bye.

Alex and Marifer are like our Dylan and Brenda from Beverly Hills, 90210.

Do you know the show?

-It's so good. -Are we going to talk business?

Tenoch has no women trouble because no one notices him.

I'm not invited to things and I'm never allowed into parties.

It's the fucking discrimination, but it's fine.

This way, I can focus on the mission.

I'm raising money for a computer.

You're the only guy I know who'd have a computer over a girlfriend.

I have one.

-I mean, a computer. -Really?

Is it IBM? Mac?

-How much RAM? -I don't know.

My parents bought it in the US.

You know what?

I'm starting to think he'll be good for our business.

-What's the business about? -What?

What business? I don't get what you guys do.

Come.

What I'm about to tell you

is top secret.

ONE YEAR BEFORE

I was excited when I got into this school.

I came from Oaxaca with a scholarship.

I couldn't believe I was in the city.

SPECIALTY: NERD NEXT PRESIDENT OF OAXACA

WITHOUT A PENNY

But I realized that here "clothes make the man."

And I stood out.

We'll show you!

One, two, three!

Great!

Don't cry!

But I had something they didn't.

I'm not stupid.

So I thought of something.

I started trafficking knowledge.

But one day, the demand was too much.

So I recruited the second best GPA of our year.

We're almost even.

The second best GPA.

SPECIALTY: UNDERSTANDS CHEMISTRY HAS SEEN ALL THE SOAP OPERAS

And I needed someone to take on the creative stuff,

stories, poems, and drawings.

SPECIALTY: KILLS WITH HER LOOK GREAT AT HUMANITIES

Though sometimes, some clients refused to pay.

And I couldn't do anything about it.

Pole!

One, two, three!

How many so far?

I needed protection.

Someone they would fear.

He's an ex-snob.

People like him.

Girls like him.

So he's the face of the business.

He also knows karate, in case there's trouble.

I don't know karate. That rumor is fake.

SPECIALTY: HEARTTHROB DOESN'T KNOW KARATE

If they see you, the rate of violence will decline.

I'm not with them now.

Being preppy never goes away.

No offence.

I'm sorry, but I'll pass.

He wanted in because he saw potential.

I didn't even have to insist.

Alex, you owe me.

How many times did I get the pole?

Ten times.

The next worse than the last, because you got better at it.

I'm sorry, I don't know what got over me.

You wanted to impress your friends.

Look, I get it.

We're young, there's peer pressure.

Now you have to make things right.

He grew fond of us,

started dating Marifer and that's that.

Ever since then, everybody respects us.

Bye, fucking Benito!

Benito Juárez.

No resemblance,

but he's the only Oaxacan man he knows.

So?

It'd be cool if you joined us.

-Really? -Trial period.

I'll do anything.

That's the spirit.

We just need to convince Marifer.

That'll be harder.

You gave a bad impression.

Well, she's going through a lot.

That's why the first rule is, "don't fall in love," Memo.

Just look at us, both single and worry-free.

-You're right. -I gotta go. See you later.

I'm sure she's going to work.

She's very responsible.

-Really? -Yeah.

The second best GPA.

-Hi. -You came.

Marifer.

I'm sorry about the note.

You fucked up.

I know. I'm sorry.

The whole school is laughing at me.

"Poor Marifer, no one will hook up with her."

I thought about eating the note, but it was too late.

It wasn't your fault.

It was fucking Alex's.

What are you listening to?

Duncan Dhu.

Sounds cool.

I'm sorry, but are you all right?

Do you ever feel like you're angry with the world?

Just wanting to tell everyone to screw themselves.

Always.

What are you doing later?

-Memo. I'm sorry for being late. -No problem.

What now?

You look good.

No bruises.

Well, they did hit me.

Why are you smiling then?

Because...

I think I made some friends.

VIDEO CENTER

Thank you.

Is this all really yours?

Yeah, well, it's my dad's.

-It's cool, right? -Very.

This is yours, Dani.

-Thanks. -Marifer.

-Thanks. -Alex.

Wait.

-Thanks. -And this one's mine.

I get 20 pesos extra for administrative duties.

Tenoch, don't be stingy. We had a deal.

-It's fine, he keeps the books. -Thanks.

And I organize the work. And staple them and put them in folders.

Besides, this month we'll get lots more.

Now that we have Memo's computer.

And Memo.

Yeah, I meant both.

And hopefully, no more relationship issues.

Dani, here you go.

The lyrics of the song.

No way!

Did you print it?

I have a printer.

Amazing.

But they never tell you what the sign is.

No.

Bummer.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Marifer.

Can we talk?

Look, I don't want us to be like this.

I'll do anything. I don't want you to be angry.

I'm going shopping. Wanna come?

If you saved your money, you wouldn't ask for more.

-If I saved it? -Yes.

I need you to promise

that we'll have our first time together.

-My uncle explained it to me. -Yes.

I promise.

And that you're not into anyone.

I'm not into anyone else.

-Good afternoon. -What's up?

Need some help?

I'm here for a job interview.

-I spoke with a man... -My dad.

-No. He's not here yet. -Alex?

Alex. Alejandro, Alex.

-Alex, Alejandro. -Alex, whatever works.

Rafael Medina.

Rafa.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.
