Of course! To hell with me!
Look, I promise that next time...
There won't be a next time.
-Is that your final word? -No.
My final word is...
Marcela, come with me.
Leave V&M.
Let's start our own company and mop the floor with V&M.
That's my final word.
You know I can't.
Now do you understand my position?
Goodbye.
No, no.
Ines... I just lost my friend.
Please bring me a bucket, water, and some shovels.
I'm going to throw myself into the Hudson
with cement shoes on.
No, just cry.
You're right. That's easier.
All done.
Thanks, boss.
Here are the fabrics
and the invitation to the party.
You said you wanted to go...
A runway show?
Cocktail party included.
Look, Betty, we've already made ten dollars
in the time we've been here. I'm a finance magician!
It makes me so happy to watch Mr. Armando's money grow,
especially since right now
he could really use an injection of capital.
No, Betty. What's the golden rule?
We can't inject the good money into the bad money.
You can't give V&M money from BAR.
No way, man.
Yes, we can! He has good ideas.
They just haven't worked out well and he's had some bad luck.
Your boss doesn't think. He just acts.
Then he goes crazy and starts spending money he doesn't have.
To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't trust him one bit.
In the end, it's his money.
If he wants, he's going to move money from V&M to BAR.
You're a know-it-all, Betty.
I know, I know. Give me a little more time.
I'll consolidate BAR's investments
and then you can do it.
But Mr. Armando needs the money right now.
If you give him all the money,
we won't have anything left to work with
and both companies will go bankrupt.
Let me make a teeny weenie bit more.
Fine, but don't take too long.
I won't. I promise.
Just don't tell him we've got that cushion and we're good.
Me?
-BeNi promise? -BeNi promise.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Nicolas. Nice to meet you.
Take me. Please, please take me.
If you take me, I promise I'll repay you
like you've never imagined.
Really?
How?
I'd tell you, but a surprise of this magnitude
can't be revealed.
Take me, please.
I can't, Patricia.
Take me. Please, I'm begging.
I'm going to say it one last time.
This is a personalized invitation.
Only the person it's addressed to can go.
Really?
Yes, I thought you knew how these events worked.
Oh, I know exactly how those events work.
You need a passport and a visa to get in.
Why do they make a list?
As if someone were going to steal.
Ridiculous.
I go to other types of events where everyone knows who I am.
Excuse me.
That's all that's left after I became president.
Betty's right, bro.
We shouldn't open another credit line with the bank.
Whether it be with the bank or someplace else,
we still need a loan.
Hey...
do you think any investors will be
at tonight's fabric reveal?
That's a social event. It's only to see and be seen.
We have nothing to lose by going.
In fact, it'd be good.
We'll give the impression
that everything's fine with the company
and that we have time to spend on these things.
That's all we have left: our image.
Marcela.
Tonight is the fabric reveal and runway show
-if you'd like to come. -I can't.
I have to stay and clean up the mess your secretary made.
Marcela, please. I don't want to fight anymore.
Neither do I, but did you know that Hugo
doesn't want to return to work?
I hope Ines can convince him. He's furious.
I told him we were to blame for what happened.
You told him that?
It's the truth!
I insisted in disconnecting and you listened to me.
You know what?
Why don't you invite your wonderful secretary Beatriz?
Since she's so diligent and I make so many mistakes.
Excuse me. Mr. Armando, your new phone.
Thanks a lot, Betty.
Get ready. We have an event tonight.
Marcela can't come.
Excuse me.
Yes, excuse me.
My ability to predict the weather tells me
that soon it'll start raining over the Big Apple.
I kindly and affectionately offer you my two-wheeled
motor vehicle to transport you towards your destination
before the first raindrop descends.
Thank you.
I'll take that ride today.
I need to pick up my son from daycare
and they charge for every half hour I'm late.
That's me. Opportune and effective.
Today we'll protect your finances.
See you at the exit?
Yes, thank you.
Marce, where are you going?
No, you can't go. Move it!
I need to talk to you about something really important.
What is it? I'm not in the mood, Patricia.
I need you to tell me the truth.
Did something happen with Ricardo in Miami?
Marce, I'm being serious!
He's acting so strangely. He's very distant.
Then he told me he's going to a cocktail party
and he didn't even invite me.
He said it was a personal invite.
-He said that? -Uh-huh.
All men are the same.
Look... I can give you my invitation.
-For me? -Yes.
Really? I can have it?
-Yes. -I love you, Marce.
On one tiny condition.
You have to keep an eye on Armando all night.
What he does, who he talks to...
Hold on.
Why aren't you going?
You can't give men too much freedom.
You know they're all bastards.
It's true.
There's always some tramp around.
He's going with another woman anyway.
What?
Who?
V&M's savior.
Beatriz.
Aura Maria, you're still here?
Yes.
We should give you an award for forking so hard.
Thank you.
I thought you weren't going to say bye to me either
since everyone's so serious.
Don't worry about it. Senior management problems.
I don't want to bore you with any of that.
I owe you two kisses.
We missed you here.
I like being missed.
You smell great, by the way.
Thank you.
Hey, Ricky, remember when you once told me
that you'd take me home whenever I wanted?
Of course.
I think that day could be today.
Unfortunately, there's a runway show I have to attend today.
That's too bad.
I thought tonight would be the perfect night.
With this heat and all the management problems,
a few tequilas would be perfect to unwind with.
Oh well. I guess not tonight.
Maybe some other time.
Hey.
Where did you say we were going again?
Wherever you want.
Just let me call me my mom so she can pick up...
Let me make a call.
What's up, man?
Have you seen my princess? I'm taking her home.
I told you, man.
-What? -You got tricked again.
Aura Maria stood you up.
Again.
Ricky, Ricky, where are you?
Thanks.
Armando!
Priscilla, how are you?
Very well.
I knew you'd follow in your father's footsteps
and now look at you, president of V&M.
Congratulations. Your dream has come true.
Yes, just like yours. Congrats.
You're the editor of a major magazine.
Remember everything we talked about on that one summer trip?
Richie, you left me dancing by myself.
You were great.
You've got some really, really good moves.
Thank you.
Come, I want to dance with you. I love this song.
I'm more of a ballad or pop kind of guy.
Or hip-hop.
You can dance to it all. Come, I'll show you.
First, you have to hold on real tight right here
and then just go with the flow.
Step, step.
Very good.
The tequila! That's mine!
I'm so thirsty!
-Remember? -Sure!
We were just starting college
and we'd always run into each other.
It's like we had unfinished business.
-Betty. -Sorry, sir.
I'm sorry.
Is she with you?
Yes, she's my assistant.
Nice to meet you.
Betty, why don't you go get a drink?
I don't drink.
Then go grab something to eat. There's a buffet over there.
Then you can check out the whole place.
-So... -I'm not hungry right now.
Would you excuse me for just a second?
Betty, why don't you go to the bathroom
or anywhere else?
In fact, I don't think we'll be making any deals anymore.
You can go home.
-Are you sure? -Positive.
-Good night. -Okay, good night.
Good night.
It's so good to see you.
Thank you very much.
Tequila!
Thank God.
With lime and salt.
No, that's for tourists.
I'll show you how you're supposed to drink tequila.
Here in Manhattan we drink it like this.
Straight up.
Just like we're going straight to heaven.
I need...
Now I'm going to show you what I just learned.
One hand here, another one here.
I want to dance real close.
I told you I was a terrible dancer.
You need to give me lessons more often.
I don't think you need too many.
I think the student will outdo the master.
I get the feeling you're very talented.
Oh.
What a nice place.
I've never been anywhere like this.
There's a Jacuzzi?
Yes.
Should we get all oiled up and take a bubble bath?
We can do whatever you want.
Really?
You're the boss.
And of course, I have some ideas of my own too.
Richie, wait.
I don't want you to think that I'm easy or that I'm a slut
because I'm not.
Of course not.
I'm only doing this because you're very special.
I know.
As for you, even your name is angelic.
Aura Maria.
Yes.
I'm not doing this for fun.
I'm doing it because I like you a lot.
Plus, I know you're very respectful.
You respect me a lot, don't you?
I respect you the most.
Really?
Yeah, and I'll show you several times.
Unfortunately, I have to call it a night.
I have an big interview
with a Chinese businessman tomorrow.
Really? How's your Mandarin?
Not as good as I'd like, but practice makes perfect.
See you soon, Armando.
Or until fate brings us together again.
Hold on. Why leave things to fate?
Let me take you home.
Maybe we could stop someplace for a drink on the way.
Are you sure?
Positive.
I'll remind you that I'm the editor of a fashion magazine.
I'm also very well aware of everything that happens
in the Manhattan social scene, if you catch my drift.
Yes, I do,
but you said we had unfinished business,
so why don't we celebrate our success?
I'm going to the restroom. I'll see you at the exit.
Oh, Armando, you're something else.
Oh, my God.
What a bastard.
Marce isn't going to like this one bit.
Obviously!
