RICH IN LOVE
Answer me, Manuel.
Are you inviting me to a motel?
No.
I mean...
something like that.
Manuel, don't beat around the bush.
Yes, I am...
so we can be together without all the kids
and without having to hide or worry about being seen.
We're both adults. It's not that bad, right?
Oh, Manuel, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but that's not who I am.
I've only ever been with one man in my entire life.
Besides, with all the problems I have,
I'm not really...
I know.
I know you're probably thinking I'm a boring prude.
No.
It's who I am.
Well, maybe I think you're a bit prudish.
Look, Manuel, think whatever you want,
but right now I'm worried about something else.
I need to take my daughter to visit her father in prison.
I'm in no mood to go to a motel.
Alright?
Hey, did you catch that?
A woman like her will only keep you on a strict diet.
On the other hand,
you can have a slice of this whenever you want.
Yeah, but at least she's not pretending she's pregnant.
How many times do I have to tell you?
That hag doesn't care about you.
She's going to get back with her husband
the minute he's released from prison.
-She's taking you for a ride. -That's not going to happen.
You know what?
I don't think I like you anymore.
Dummy.
There's a real man out there
who's will treat me the way I deserve.
You'll be sorry.
And when you see that our baby has another man's name,
you'll regret everything.
I really have no idea what that test was about.
-I did a terrible job. -Mauro!
I'll talk to you later.
-Babe! -What's up?
Guess what?
Hey.
-I know. -Guess.
You're going to compete in Miss USA.
You're way off.
So very, very far off.
-Get serious. -Miss Florida?
Of course not!
Is it about being president?
You got it!
I'm going to run.
I knew it!
You're going to win by a landslide.
-I told you. -Well, who knows?
We'll both win, right?
-That's the game plan. -You got it.
You're not going to leave me hanging.
Never.
I'll never leave you hanging.
-Hey, professor. -What's up, Mauro?
-How's it going? -Great.
Hey, Lucia.
You're looking at the new Medical Student Association
presidential candidate.
Really?
Wow, congrats.
Thanks.
You're going to have to be careful now.
You won't be able to argue with her anymore
since she'll be in a position of power.
Alright, Mauro, stop joking around.
Should we head to class?
-Sure. -Yeah, let's go.
What's up, blondie?
What is it?
It's nothing. I can't find my keys.
Is that why you're upset?
Never let me go.
No, babe.
If it were up to me, I'd stay like this forever.
I don't think this is the best place to be hugging.
I don't care.
I don't care anymore.
I need you to hug me and if everyone sees us,
then so be it.
I don't care if Andres sees us.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm sorry.
What happened?
My father conned Andres' parents.
Dad!
Yes, just a second.
Sweetie, come here.
Oh, sweetie, you have no idea how happy I am to see you.
You've grown so much and you look so beautiful.
Daddy, I was so far from you
and I've wanted to be so close.
Daddy, don't cry. I'm finally here.
It was hard work, but I'm here. I made it!
Thanks for bringing her.
She really wanted to see you.
It's true.
I even ran away yesterday.
You ran away? Really?
Yes, she ran away.
Daddy, it's just that I really wanted to see you.
I was even going to bring you a pie,
but I ate it on the way here.
I didn't bring you anything. You're not upset, right?
No, sweetie, seeing you makes me really happy.
It makes me really happy too, Daddy.
Yikes, what happened?
Why them? Weren't they friends?
I thought so too, but it's obvious to me now
that there's no stopping my father.
I could understand if he'd swindled people
he didn't know or cared about,
but conning Andres' parents was almost like hurting me.
I can't deal with that.
It's tough, princess, but cheer up.
I mean, have you tried talking to him or...
Yes, I was just there.
I swear I feel like I could hate him.
I don't even know what to believe anymore.
I don't even know what to do with my life.
Well, you can do whatever you want.
It's easy to know what you want,
but you're having a hard time with that.
I have to go now.
-I'm late for class. -I'm sorry.
Right now I'm being a bit of a nerd.
-Really? -Yeah.
I'm sure you're the handsomest nerd in your class.
Something like that.
Cheer up.
Everything's going to be alright.
See you later.
Hey, make a choice already. Stay with me.
Don't get married.
How are you holding up?
Terribly.
We have to talk MaJo. We can't keep doing this.
Daddy, I promise that as soon as you leave this place,
I'll make you lots of pies and cookies.
I already learned how to bake them.
Had I told you?
Of course not! You're so silly, Lupita!
It's been a long time since we saw each other.
Yes, sweetie, but you shouldn't have run away.
Of course she shouldn't have.
We already talked it about it. I made myself clear.
Yes, Mom. I know I messed up.
Hey, Daddy, you look a little different.
Have you lost weight?
You think so?
That's the nicest thing I've heard in a long time.
Is the food here bad?
No, the food here is delicious.
Hey.
How's your sister Angie?
She's so silly for not wanting to come here!
She doesn't want to come. It's pointless.
I understand. Tell her I miss her a lot.
Daddy, don't be sad.
I promise I'll convince Angie to come visit you.
Did you know she has a boyfriend?
And so do I.
What?
A boyfriend.
Yes, but no kissing.
We're the same age and he's in my class.
Daddy, I miss you so much.
I miss you too, my little breadcrumb.
I love you so much, sweetie.
You have no idea how happy Lupita was to see her father.
I don't know.
I just looked at her and she seemed so beside herself.
I think it was tough for her to see her father in prison.
Yeah, I understand.
Watching your kids in pain is the worst...
especially when they're so young.
You're talking about Pedrito, right?
It must've been hard on him when his mother passed away.
It seemed like he'd never be happy again.
Don't worry so much about Lupita.
Kids are much better at bouncing back than we are.
My ability to bounce back is getting worse every time.
It's just that...
I'm so exhausted, Manuel.
I don't know how long I can keep doing this.
That's why I'm here, to cheer you up,
so you can keep doing this.
Wait here.
Here.
I brought you flowers. We have the moon and the stars.
We're only separated by physics.
Take it.
I haven't forgotten you called me a prude.
No, of course not.
You called yourself a prude.
I said you were prudish.
You're not that big of a prude, but fine, you're right.
I was an idiot. I can admit that.
You were not very chivalrous.
But I brought you flowers.
Take them.
Thanks, they're beautiful.
Hey, why don't we go for a walk?
A walk?
You like walking on the beach, right?
Then let's go to the Keys.
The Keys?
You think that's too tacky?
No, I didn't mean that.
I just think it's too far from here.
No, not at all.
We'll be at Key West in less than four hours.
No, no, that's...
that's too far.
It's not like going to the beach here in Miami.
No, sorry, Manuel, I can't leave.
-Alright. -I can't be away for that long.
Look, I'm going to forgive you, but on one condition.
What?
Let's go to the Keys.
I'm serious.
Just you and I by ourselves in Key West.
No.
What am I supposed to tell my daughters?
That we're going to Key West.
It's nothing.
We'll go and come back on the same day.
We'll have lunch, we'll go on a barefoot walk on the beach,
we'll breathe some fresh air for a while
and we'll see the prettiest sunset in the entire the US.
I'm serious. I've read it.
Besides, I also have some business to tend to.
We can make the most of the trip
and kill two birds with one stone.
No, Manuel, it's better if we don't.
I can't do it, Manuel.
Maybe some other time.
I promise.
I won't sleep tonight.
I'll wait for that day anxiously.
I suppose you have good news for me, Mr. Benito.
I'd also like to think that you've already had a word
with your granddaughter and that she won't bother
my Angie again, right?
Yes, Mrs. Trini, I talked to Margarita.
I tried to make her understand that she was wrong.
Oh, so you tried?
You just tried.
My dear Trini, I did what I could.
I did what I'm supposed to.
Now we just have to hope Margarita listens to me.
The important thing is for us to be as good friends
as we used to be.
No!
No, because that's not enough!
It's not enough that you just talked to her!
It's simply not right!
But what more do you want me to do, my dear Trini?
Well, the right thing.
Your granddaughter should apologize to Angie.
That's what a principled and educated young lady would do.
Well, yes, but Margarita's very stubborn,
and I can't force her to apologize.
Well, I don't know how you're going to do it,
because that's not my problem, but you will,
Please try to understand.
Margarita's very hurt and she's very much in love with Jorge.
They're teenagers. Don't be so hard on her.
Try to put yourself in her shoes.
And who'll walk a mile in my Angie's shoes?
Huh? Who?
I'm sorry, but until Margarita apologizes to Angie,
as far as you and I are concerned,
we can no longer be friends.
-It's over. -Again?
Yes! Now say you understand!
That's it.
That's all I have to say. The end!
Mrs. Trini, please.
Well, well, well.
My dear Beni.
S-S-Sarita del Carmen...
Beni, my darling, it's great to see you again.
You haven't aged one bit since the last time I saw you.
I'm-I'm sorry, Mrs. Trini.
This is Sarita del Carmen. She's a friend.
What did you say? A friend?
Beni, please, I was your last girlfriend.
Oh, his last girlfriend.
What's going on, Beni?
Beni. Hey.
Yes?
Have you forgotten all about me?
