RICH IN LOVE
Bravo!
Fantastic! Stupendous!
What's that? Your new greeting?
I'm applauding you, brainiac.
I'm congratulating you on how dumb you are.
Hey! Why you insulting me?
Angie almost caught me after you sent me that message.
You really are smart, Margarita.
I'd forgotten how idiotic you could be.
Stop talking to me like that.
I only wrote you because I ran into the idiot.
I told her you and me knew each other
and she got really intense.
Don't you be so intense.
All you have to do is stop talking about me to her.
There's a reason you asked me to do this, right?
Let me do things my way, and stay out of it.
Stop talking to me like that.
And sorry, but you're not as smart as you think
because the other night Jorge caught you
sending messages to your girlfriends.
So check yourself or else...
Or else what, Margarita?
They can catch you too.
And if they catch either of us, you go down, not me.
So stop doing stupid things and leave me alone!
Hey, why are you talking to my girlfriend like that?
Say hello to the doggie.
No, thanks, Stella. That's not necessary.
Please let me work, I've got a lot to do.
How can you not want to go out with me?
Don't you like me?
No, I don't. We've discussed this.
Come on, Manuel.
Don't play so hard to get.
Why don't you come over for some oysters
and enjoy their aphrodisiac properties?
You're something else, Stella.
Don't you ever get tired of always being on?
How could I get tired?
Come on, you and I had fun.
No strings attached.
You're not a kid anymore, Stella.
There's no point to this.
I cared a lot about you, but we're not together anymore.
Try to understand.
You've got it all wrong.
You think that I, a refined woman,
would be interested in an oaf like you?
You're more that stupid Chivis' taste.
I'm just inviting you as a friend.
That's great.
I'm glad you've got it all figured out
and that you're letting me know.
That's great.
So? Do you accept?
No.
He's so obnoxious, isn't he?
Whatever.
Oh!
Look, my friend from the country club.
Speak outside so I can work.
Hi, Steve.
Of course, I'm so glad you called.
Drinks?
Sure.
See you there.
No, I'll take my car.
Bye.
What does Dominique have to say?
I knew you'd be jealous.
Now don't freak out, but that was a friend.
But what a friend!
He owns the club, and he's a millionaire!
I mean, he's rolling in it!
Nothing like you.
We're so silly.
Why are we begging this loser to have dinner?
Bye. I'm leaving.
Answer me, dude.
Why are you talking to my girlfriend like that?
Your girlfriend is annoying.
She got upset because I can't be her math tutor.
It's not that he can't.
His girlfriend is really jealous.
She's so insecure that she said no.
Exactly.
Right, that's what all the commotion was about.
Sweetie, you know I get mad when I don't get what I want,
and I really wanted his help on some tests because...
Margarita, you're a math whiz.
Why would you need his help?
Because... I think I could do better,
and I was told the SATs are really tough.
Really tough.
I studied for them for months.
I don't care.
That's why you were fighting?
We weren't fighting!
We were talking.
Know what? I've got to go.
See you.
Bye.
Who does that fool think he is?
Why was he talking to you like that?
Honey, thanks for defending me,
but I swear it's not his fault.
I'm the one who was being annoying.
Everything's fine.
What a surprise, Laura.
I didn't know you returned today.
Hi, Maria Jose.
Yes, I returned a few days earlier.
Rodolfo's still over there signing some papers.
Oh, okay.
How are you?
Well, not as good as I'd like to be.
I don't know if Andres told you.
Yes.
He told me everything.
From the problem with your father
to your differences with Chivis.
Yeah, it's awful.
Honestly, it hasn't been easy,
and I feel really embarrassed with you.
Oh honey, we'll have none of that.
Don't be embarrassed.
There's no reason for you to feel that way.
Children are not to blame for their parents' mistakes.
But you should speak to your mother
and smooth things over.
There's no excuse for you having left the house.
Right.
Mom?
-Mom! -Surprise.
It's great to see you!
Likewise, Mom.
How are you?
I wasn't expecting you back so soon.
What's that?
Nothing.
How are you, sweetie?
-Fine and you? -Fine.
I didn't know you were returning today.
I returned sooner in case you needed me.
I was telling Maria Jose she needs to speak to Chivis
because it's not good to fight with one's mother.
Of course, that's very personal.
You think about it and make a decision.
Well, I'm going to bathe.
I'm tired and have jetlag.
I promise I won't be any trouble.
Oh, come on.
This is your home.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy your shower.
Later, you're going to tell me what happened to your eye.
Okay.
What?
I almost died when I saw her.
I wasn't expecting to see her,
and I'm sure she's not cool with me being here.
She probably hates me
because she thinks you deserve a better life
with a better woman.
She's going to introduce you to her friends' daughters...
Baby, she's not introducing me to anyone.
I spoke to both of them.
They both agreed with you coming here.
Besides, it's a mom's job to worry.
If not, they'd be a dad and not a mom.
Yeah.
How'd it go with Lupita?
Well, she was very sad
and wouldn't stop crying and hugging me.
Poor thing.
Yeah.
She's very little, and she's been through a lot.
She looked so sad that for a moment
I considered returning home and turning the page,
but no.
Come.
Hi, God.
How are you?
How are things up there?
Better than down here, I imagine.
Well, than in this house.
Hey, God, may I open my eyes so we can speak one-on-one?
Please?
Well, if it bothers you, send a bolt of lightning
and I won't open them.
Well, I wanted to say that I still don't understand
why my father left.
Much less Maria Jose.
People say things happen for a reason.
Could be.
Lord, please protect them both.
In return, I'll have the best First Communion ever.
Do you like my idea?
Do you like it or not?
Yes!
I knew I could trust you!
Thank you!
I'm going to have the best First Communion!
Sometimes you have to be selfish
and think of yourself instead of others.
Sometimes it's what has to be done.
You think I'm being selfish?
I don't know, honey.
You haven't told me why you left the house.
Okay.
I left my house...
simply because...
I saw my mother kissing the neighbor.
Manuel.
And, well, I got really upset and frustrated,
and the first thing that came to my mind was my father.
They're still married.
I got so mad at my mom.
When did our lives fall apart like that?
My life fell apart so much.
Vicente?
What's the problem?
You didn't go to work today.
That's right. So?
I'm not in the mood.
Can we talk?
Sure.
You're my favorite sister.
I'm your only sister, dummy.
That's why you're my favorite.
No competition.
Good thing.
I wanted to talk...
What's up?
...because I saw you at the university.
What were you doing there?
Picking a fight with Andres?
No...
Come on, you know I'm not like that.
Then?
I went to apologize to him.
In addition to being your teacher, he's your friend,
and I don't want you to have problems at school
because of me.
Plus, I get that I screwed up bad.
I'm owning up to it.
You sure you only did it for me?
Yes, for you.
And for me.
For my dignity.
My decency.
Plus, I did it for Dad, too.
He was very insistent.
And I obviously did it for Maria Jose.
Are you going to continue pursuing her?
No.
Especially not now that she moved in with Andres.
What?
