"PARADISE" "It's already 10:00, Pumpkin." "Just give me a minute." "No." "They're gonna run out of the stuffed pastries at the bakery." "And I told my parents I'd bring them the dog before lunch." "Then we have to go pick up the food and set up the tent." "There's so much we have to do..." "Let's go." "Kibbles, what did we say?" "Come on, Kibbles." "Mom!" "We're in here!" "Hello." "Hi, honey!" "We brought the dog." "Hi." "Hi, Kibbles!" "Don't think she's sleeping in our room." "Not ours either." "How's the packing going?" "Not so good." "There's so much stuff." "I made some beans for your party tonight." "They won't be as good as yours, but..." "They're canned." "I'm gonna take this to the kitchen." "Come on, Kibbles." "Okay." "This is everything I had at home, and the rest of the binders are on my desk." "Wait, wait." "Sit down, sweetheart." "What?" "Are you sure you don't want to keep any of your clients?" "You could come here to work once or twice a week." "Dad, it's farther to come here than to go to Cuernavaca." "Besides, we only have one car and Alfredo's using it for work." "You're going to be bored without work, and besides, you don't know anyone there." "We have a present for you." "It was the first thing we bought when we started the business 30 years ago." "It's better that you guys use it." "You have no idea what you're saying!" "Mexico City is very dangerous." "Your uncle Luis had his house broken into and they stole everything." "Yes, and I received an e-mail saying that you must never use payphones." "They put some drug on the receiver, they put you to sleep and kidnap you." "Pumpkin?" "Don't worry." "Our apartment is in a very safe area." "Otherwise they wouldn't send us there, Pumpkin." "Nibbles, come over here." "Don't worry, Pumpkin." "Kibbles is gonna be fine with your mom." "She'll be like another daughter, only one that's more likely to give her a grandkid!" "Oh, be quiet." "Hold this, I'm gonna go pick up my dress." "I had to add an extra piece of fabric because if I kept stretching it, it would tear." "You can barely tell." "No." "And it's worth the work." "It's a beautiful dress." "Alfredo gave it to me for our three-year anniversary." "And when are you moving?" "Monday." "When my mother-in-law had hip surgery, we went to live in Mexico City for a while." "There were rats that were this big." "Any quiet little street here in Satélite is paradise com pared to the city." "It was disgusting!" "Do you have that song by Alaska?" "Play it!" "Are you ready?" " Thank you." " Best of luck to you both." "I don't understand why you didn't leave it at the house." "It took three years to grow." "If I left it alone it would have dried up and died." "And what will happen to it at the park?" "They'll water it there if it doesn't rain." "Come on, of course they won't, Pumpkin!" "Do you know how big Naucalli Park is?" "Okay, enough!" "We'll be finished in no time." "Let's plant it around here." "I was thinking we'd put it over there, by the playground." "All the way over there?" "Let's just put it around here, otherwise we're gonna get stuck in awful traffic." "Do you think we are doing the right thing?" "Planting it here?" "No, moving to the city." "We don't know anybody there." "Who cares, Pumpkin!" "This is the best thing that could have happened to us." "Trust me." "This can't be it, Pumpkin." "It was bigger and more modern." "Wasn't it?" "No, this is it, Pumpkin." "It's just that it was dark when we came to check it out." "Don't you like it?" "What do you think?" "It gets good light." "It seems really safe, right?" "In case there's an earthquake." "Let's see, put it here." "In the corner, in the corner." "Watch the column there." " Put it down." " Careful." "It fits right?" "No." "It won't fit like this." "Let's try it sideways." "Watch the column." " You're too close to the column." " Keep it straight." "Yeah, it hit the column." "Bring it back a bit." "Try with the door open." "We'll just turn it little by little." "Push a little more from there." "No, wait." "It's hitting on this side." "We gotta take off the doors." "Be careful there." "Don't scratch it." "That covers it, right?" "They're taking it to my parents' house." "It's okay, Pumpkin." "This week we'll go buy another one, okay?" "These are the only ones I found." "They're perfect." "Cheers." "To our new home." "To your new job." "The justice law that makes our fatherland a free, independent, human and generous nation to whom we devote our existence." "Now, salute!" "Wow!" "It looks delicious." "How are we supposed to eat all of this?" "Well, since we don't have a fridge, everything was going to go bad." "So I cooked it all." "Thanks." "Your fruit." "Good luck on your first day." "The supermarket here doesn't come close to the one at home, Pumpkin." "I couldn't find bagels or frozen waffles or Apple Jacks." "We'll go to the one back home on Sunday." "Guess what." "I can check all the bank employee e-mails from right here." "Is this dress okay for the event or is it going to be fancier?" "That one's perfect." "You're sure?" "Pumpkin, it's just the bank's anniversary, not a wedding." "Does this happen all the time?" " I think it's once a year." " Why?" "I don't know." "To spend money, I guess." "Who knows?" "Sir." "Excuse me." "Sir?" "Oh, my God." " What is it?" " Oh, my God." "It's raw fish." "Alfredo." "How are you?" "It's good to see you here." "Ma'am." "It's a pleasure." "May I steal him away for a moment?" "I'll bring him right back." "I want to introduce you to Roberto Lopez." "Alfredo is our new IT Director." "How are you?" "Pleasure." "He is handling the system migration for the bank." "That's right, sir." "Did you see that fat couple?" "They look like they escaped from a Botero exhibit." "Walking art." "He's the new IT guy." "Toño told me that when he started, Toño made a bet with human resources that he wouldn't fit in any of the office chairs." "And?" "Clearly he didn't." "You're killing me." "How do you think they fuck?" "I don't know, that's gross." "No, what's gross is that girl with her Miss Piggy mini skin." "You think she's embarrassed?" "I don't think so." " She's got some nerve." " That's for sure." "This is my wife, Carmen." "Hi." "Pleasure to meet you, Fernanda Lépez." "Pleasure." "Isabel Rodriguez." "Hello, I'm Luis Palmos." "Nice to meet you." "Don't you want something to drink?" "So then he told me that I'm going to coordinate the electronic bank migration which is like six months of work paid apart from the job." "Isn't that great?" "Yeah." "How about you?" "Did you have a good time?" "Yeah." "Were you looking for a specific size?" "No, thanks." "PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery" "You are so pretty." "Have you ever thought about going on a diet?" "We have a special promotion right now." "Your first session is free." "Here, we have a name for the food we can't eat." "We call it "the devil." Okay?" "Because if I have peanut butter in the pantry, when I'm hungry at midnight what am I going to eat?" "Peanut butter." "Because I won't go to the store right then to buy turkey breast." "So, let's keep this quite clear." "There are foods that are not welcome in our homes." "They are not welcome in our kitchens." "We have a new member back there." "What's your name?" "Carmen." " Hello, Carmen." " Welcome." "LOSE WEIGHT NOW!" "Hi, Pumpkin." "Hello." "I brought some taquitos." "I'm sure they're not half as good as the ones from the old neighborhood, but let's try them." " What's that?" " Nothing." " What do you mean nothing?" "What is it?" " Nothing." " What is it, Pumpkin?" " No." " Let me see." " No." " Show me, please!" " No!" "You're going on a diet?" "Just a little." "Seriously?" ""Seriously?"" "Half a pound..." "Sit here." "Thanks." "We're beating the Villa Coapa store by six pounds." "We may be fewer people, but we have more motivation." "Okay?" "So let's begin." "Like our motto says, "Tell excess weight..."" ""goodbye for good!"" "Exactly." "Very good, let's start with the bad news." "The gluttons." "Who gained weight this week?" "Anyone else?" "No one else?" "Roberto, how did you do this week?" "I didn't have time to weigh myself." "There's always time, Roberto." "That guy has to go weigh himself at the airport." "You back there." "Okay, how much did you gain?" " Half a pound." " Two pounds." "Okay." "How long have you two been together?" " No, we're not together." " We just met." "Okay." "Fine." "It's very important that you both talk to your families and ask for support during this process." "Involve them." "Because very often we gain weight because we eat the same foods as those around us." "Is that clear?" "Is that clear?" "No, Pumpkin, not again." "We already did the pineapple one, the moon one, the carbs one, the biscuit one." "This time it's for real." "They were all for real and none of them worked." "And I don't understand why you want to go on a diet now." "I don't know." "Maybe because nothing fits me." "All of my pants are like leggings." "So what?" "I like you in leggings." "I'm being serious." "Will you help me or not?" "No, Pumpkin." "Do the diet yourself." "Okay, let's do it." "But I won't eat squash or broccoli or any of that butter that isn't butter." "Is this all?" "No, I also made coffee." "Pumpkin." "One little bite won't do any harm." "Besides, it's all stale." "This week I really stuck to the diet." "I even feel thinner." "We don't have to stay for the meeting, do we?" "No." "They just have to weigh us and give us the menus for the week, and that's it." "I'm holding you to it, buttercup!" "Look at that fish." "It looks like a bird." " Hello." " Hello." "You lost 1.9 pounds." "I lost two pounds, Pumpkin!" "No, 1.9 pounds." "Your turn." "It's okay." "Get up there!" "5.9." "I gained 5.9 pounds?" "No, you lost 5.9 pounds." "I lost weight?" "Congratulations." "Our next theme is the myth of the syrup diet." "Does that sound familiar?" "Let's go in for just a bit." "Yeah?" "How long did we run for?" "Like 10 minutes, I think." "But if we count the stairs and crossing the street and going back home, it was more like 20 minutes." "Could you please tell me when we get to Barranca Del Mueno?" "I'm sorry, miss, I turn around at Legaria." "If you want I can leave you at Marina Nacional." "Then you grab another bus that takes you to Mariano Escobedo and then another that goes all of Circuito." " Okay." "Thanks." " You're welcome." "Excuse me." "Do you stop at Barranca Del Mueno?" "No, across the street." "Voicemail, this call will be charged after the following tones." "Hi, Pumpkin." "How did it go?" "I hate Mexico City." "Why?" "You're all wet." "Did it rain?" "No." "I got really lost, and I called you a thousand times but you didn't answer." "I'm sorry, they gave me a new cell phone for work and the service was out for a while on mine." "But look how cool this is, it takes HD video." "Give me a smile." "Enough, turn it off." "I'm gonna go shower." "Don't be mad, Pumpkin." "Come on, turn around." "Turn around." "What's this?" "Shit!" "I totally forgot about it." "It's not bad." "It's just soggy." "It's like fish-flavored baby food." "Let's see." "Move." "I know what I can make with the fish." "Wow." "This looks amazing, Pumpkin." "Can we have sour cream?" "I just used a little bit." "It's delicious!" "You know what would make them even better?" "A little bit of apricot jam." "Ew, no." "I swear." "Haven't you ever had sweet and sour fish?" "We can't have jam anyway." "Pumpkin." "Hello." "Can you please sign here?" "What is it?" "It's a machine for ab exercises." "We didn't order that." "Your address is right here." "And it's already been charged to your card." "What do you mean it's been charged to my card?" "It says here that you ordered it two weeks ago." "Pumpkin, this man says that we ordered this ab machine thing." "Did you order this?" "Where do I sign?" "Here please." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Where were you?" "I went for a run." " A run?" " Yep." " Hello." " Hello." "I work in the cubicles in front of your office." "Yes, I know." "It's a kitten that I found out in the parking lot." "I think he's hungry, but I can't feed him." "I'm allergic to cat fur." "Do you have kids?" "No, why?" "Nothing, just asking." " Hello." " Hello." "Is this on the diet?" "Enough with the diet." "You sound like an old lady." "I have a surprise for you." "Come here." "What is it?" "Guess." "A bonsai tree?" "Tell me!" "A puppy!" "What's that?" "Cats are perfect for apartments, Pumpkin." "They're very clean and independent." " Here, pet him." " No, it creeps me out." "Why?" "He's so cute!" "Here, take him." "No, it's all floppy." "No, no, it's so creepy." "Here, kitty, kitty." "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" " Good, and you?" " I'm good." "Do you have a cat?" "No." "I have a dog." "Oh, but yes, this is for a cat." "How's the diet going?" "Not great." "Honestly, it makes me really hungry." "What about you?" "Have you lost a lot of weight?" " About 45 pounds." " Wow." "And how did you manage to lose so much?" "I went to this great doctor." "You don't even actually have to diet." "Do you want his info?" "In cases like yours," "I recommend a little help from these pills." "They're natural fiber." "And they'll help control your appetite." "You can take two..." "No, make it four with each meal, okay?" "Dinner's ready, Pumpkin!" "Coming!" "Enough, cat." "Okay." "Okay!" "Eat!" "Eat!" "Eat already!" "Shut up, cat!" "What does our motto say?" ""Kiss extra weight..."" "What does our motto say?" ""Kiss extra weight..."" " "...goodbye for good!"" " Exactly!" "Excellent." "Who dropped two pounds this week?" "That's enough, Gaby." "Please, no more." "Four pounds?" "Very good." "Six pounds?" "Very good." "Six pounds is very good!" "Six pounds in one week!" "How long have you been coming to the group?" "We've been coming for almost three months." "How much weight have you lost?" " I've lost about 40 pounds." " That's what I'm talking about." "With the combination of the program and perseverance, 40 pounds in three months." "In three months." "Very good." "What about you?" "I lost four pounds, but I already gained them back." "That's okay." "There's always time to get back on track." "And to help us beat the Villa Coapa location." "Okay?" "Let's give a round of applause to our friend who just got off track temporarily." "Smile." "A little more." "Very good." "Now you are welcome to use the gym facilities." " Thanks." " Welcome." "Come on, let's go." "Come on, pedal!" " Are you guys already tired?" " No!" "What about that one?" "You want to try it?" "I don't know, Pumpkin." "I suck at aerobics." "It's not aerobics, everybody's lying down." "It's a hatha yoga class." "We just started." "Would you like to join us?" "Great, go on." "Reach up." "Stay here." "Inhale." "Exhale." "Inhale." "Try to support it." "If you need to bring your foot down, it's okay." "You can stay here, or if you don't feel balanced, shift your weight." "Hold." "Inhale." "Open this plank on the right side." "And back." "Plank." "Bend your arms." "Cobra." "Deep inhale." "Are you getting rid of all of your clothes, Pumpkin?" "No, only the ones that don't fit anymore." "What if they fit you again one day?" "These aren't going to fit me ever again." "Don't you miss everything we used to eat?" "Yeah, but it's not that hard to stick to the diet, Pumpkin." "You'll see, now that you're going to the gym, the pounds are gonna start melting off." "Yeah, maybe." "Galician Gastronomy Classes" "Galician Gastronomy in 15 sessions." "First class free." "Hi, are you here for the class?" "Come on in." "Hi, what's your name?" "Carmen." "Carmen." "Hello, Carmen." "Welcome." "Go see Pili, she'll lend you an apron." "Since they are tougher, we don't eat the females." "These are the only animals, if you don't count chimps of course, that know how to open ajar." "They are very smart." "That's not how to cut it." " Come on, Mom." " It has to be thinner." "How are you going to get married if you can't even cut octopus?" "Okay, Mom, leave me alone." "Go." "She never quits." "When are you getting married?" "I'm not." "There's no wedding." "Or even a boyfriend." "Are you married?" "Look, this is my husband, Alfredo." "Although he doesn't look like this anymore." "Can you help me?" " Who wants some?" " We all want some." "Let's see, Carmen, a piece for you." "No, none for me, thanks." "Why not?" "You don't like it?" "No, everything looks delicious." "It's just that I'm on a diet." "She's on a diet." "You can't come to cooking class and not eat." "It's like swimming in the ocean and not getting wet!" "Eat, it's delicious." "Eat, it's healthy." "Try it, you'll see, it's good." "Go on, try." "There you go!" "Bravo!" "Hi, Pumpkin!" "Hello." "Where have you been?" "At my yoga class." " Hello." " Hello." "Can I help you with something?" "Yes." "Give me one for my little girl, let's see if I can teach her." "Your little girl is 36 years old." "I want her to get married, but she won't hear of it." "Leave her alone." "Why do you think she has to get married?" "She's so lovely." "She runs loose, as soon as her husband says goodbye." "It's so good, it turned out great." "You learned so fast!" "Congratulations!" " Hello." " Hello." "How's the kitten?" "Turned out it was a girl, but she got out and hasn't come back." "Oh, too bad." "Yeah." "See you later." "Alfredo?" "Listen." "You're probably busy, but tomorrow is my birthday and tonight we were all going salsa dancing at this place nearby." "Oh, I would love to, but I'm having dinner with my wife." " Hello." " Hello." "What are you watching?" "There's nothing on." "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "I'm tired." "Do you wanna have dinner?" "I already ate." "Carmen, you're next." "You lost a pound." "White chocolate." "Well done, Pumpkin." "See, I told you the gym would help!" "You lost four pounds, great job!" "Hey, I told some people from the office I'd go have dinner with them near here." "Wanna come?" "No, thanks." "I'm gonna go to my yoga class." "Okay." "Do you have your dish ready?" "Remember that the submission deadline for the Flavor Challenge cooking contest is Friday at 4:00 pm." "This year the contest is looking for seafood recipes." "Hush, I want to listen to this." "You could be the winner!" "Create a recipe and bring it to the address on the screen." "What do you think of this contest?" "Interesting, isn't it?" "Very good, it's worth participating." "Concha, you're not thinking of submitting that potato omelet again are you?" "Let's send the sausages." "The green sauce." "I like the red." "Yes, the red sauce is good." "Seafood Stuffed Onions" "Is this where you submit your recipe?" "Would you mind getting in line please?" "How does it fit?" "It's perfect." "It looks really great on you." "Yeah." "You look nice, Pumpkin." " It's good, right?" " Can I bring you a tie?" "So what are you gonna wear?" "For what?" "On Thursday, Pumpkin." "It's the bank's anniversary." "Don't you remember the party from last year?" "Yeah." "Pumpkin?" "Do you think I'm pretty?" "Of course." "Why?" "Just asking." "So there were two teams that had to eat and then go out and drive." "It was to see how long they could go till they got hungry." "The team in one car ate normal food, and the team in the other car ate food that was ground up into, like, a soup." "And guess who had to stop to eat first?" "I don't know." "The ones that had the soup?" "No, those guys lasted!" "And that's what's amazing about this series." "It teaches you about the body in a scientific way." "All these things you would never have imagined." "How interesting." "Happy anniversary." "It's really nice." "It's too big." "Leave it in the box." "I'll exchange it this weekend." "Okay, now you close your eyes." "Keep them closed." "Ready?" "Open them." "It's great, isn't it?" "It counts the calories you've burned, the speed you're going, the distance..." "You program it, you just enter your age and weight." "It's really easy to use." "Look." "Let me turn off the light." "No, leave it on." "Wait." "Hold on just a sec." "My leg fell asleep." "You on top." "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "What time is it?" "It's ten to 6:00." "Who knows where she is?" "Maybe they won't weigh us today." "Okay, hi, so sorry." "Carito called in sick and I'm trying to do everything myself." "Don't go anywhere." "You were at..." "Here." "Hold on, something's wrong." "Let's try again." "How weird." "It says you gained 15 pounds." "Are you feeling okay?" "Yes." "Have you been following the diet carefully?" "Yes." "Pumpkin, you're not pregnant, are you?" " No." " Are you sure?" "Yes." "But 15 pounds?" "It's really dangerous to gain so much weight." "Could it be..." "Do you have high blood pressure or a buzzing in your ears?" "No." "What, you're not gonna tell me?" "I made a pact with the lady who weighs us so she'd say I lost a little bit of weight each week." "What do you mean a pact?" "Did you give her money?" "What did you give her?" "Cake." "Cake?" "Pumpkin, are you joking?" "No wonder you can't lose weight." "I saw a bag of chocolate in the trash the other day..." "Yeah, so what?" "Who are you, a secret agent for the weight loss center, or what?" " No, but..." " Forgive me for interrupting." "If you're having a hard time losing weight maybe it would help you to read one of our books." "I really recommend one called To Sin Today Is Not to Sin Forever." "Maybe it's worth flipping through?" "Pumpkin." "Why do you take his side?" "Do you really want to read that diet book?" "No." "I don't know, sometimes those books work, don't they?" "Why does everything have to revolve around the diet now?" " I'm going to the supermarket." " Okay." "I'll pick you up at 8:00 to go to the party?" "What party?" "The bank party." "Come on, Pumpkin, we talked about it." "We'll let you go." "We're going to say hi to Mr. Pallares." "Excuse me." "How are you doing?" " How are you doing?" " Very well." "Excuse me." " Hello." " Hello." "Are you by yourself?" "Yeah, my wife couldn't make it." "I came with my cousin, but she already left." "May I get you something to drink?" "Yes, rum and Coke, please." "You drink rum and Coke?" "Sometimes." "See you soon." "Nice talking to you." "Bye." "Whoa, it's late." "I have to get going, too." "No." "I can't leave until my boss leaves." "Stay and hang out with me a little longer." "Okay?" "Stay!" "Sir..." "Two shots of mezcal, please." "Carmen!" "Have you been waiting long?" "I'm sorry I'm late." "Is it okay if I sit with you?" "Of course, I'm glad to see you." "See that guy over there?" "I think that's my blind date." "I'd rather die." "What are you doing here all alone?" "My husband is out and I had a craving for pie." " You want some?" " No." "Well, just a little." "I looked everywhere, but I never found my underwear!" "And the worst part was that I had to ride back with him on his motorcycle." "It was horrible." " Hey." " Yes?" "Do you sleep with all of the guys you go out with?" "No!" "Of course not." "Only the ones I like, the ones that smell good." "If not, nope." "I've only slept with Alfredo." "No!" "Yeah, really." "Aren't you curious about what it would be like with other people?" "There is no limit to what's out there." "I mean, every single cock is unique." "You're going to get the wrong idea." "Why?" "You're gonna think I'm a drunk." "No, whatever, not at all." "Don't worry." "I'm holding you to it!" "Did you drive?" "No, I took a taxi." "Can you give me a ride home?" "Sure." "No, no!" "Turn it up, I love it." "Know what I want right now?" "Breakfast!" "Let's go to a diner." " Now?" " Yeah!" "It'll be quick." "You're already late, anyway." " After you." " No, after you." "You look really handsome like this, all skinny." "Thanks." "Well, I liked you before, too." "I remember when I saw you feeding that kitten." "I thought," ""Wow, I want that man to feed my children."" "I did." "I swear." "Hi, Pumpkin." "Hi." "Where have you been?" "At the bank party." "This late?" "Yeah, everyone was still there." "Did you go anywhere else after?" "No." "What's this?" "I went to get coffee on the way home." "And who's person number two?" "What person number two?" "It says here that person number one had French toast and a lemonade and person number two had coffee." "Who is person number two?" "Me, I had the coffee." "Wait, Pumpkin." "It's true, I did go have a coffee with a girl from the bank." "But nothing happened." "Well, it almost happened, but it didn't happen." "What do you mean, it almost happened?" "It could have happened, but it didn't, Pumpkin." "Everything is okay." "Everything is fine, Pumpkin." "Quit calling me Pumpkin!" "But that's what I've always called you." "Yeah, but I don't want you to call me that anymore." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to my parents' house." "Why?" "What do you mean, why?" "You were with someone else, Alfredo!" "Nothing happened, Pumpkin!" "Why won't you believe me?" "No, it's not about believing." "You lied to me." "You lied to me, too, about the diet." "That has nothing to do with this." "I haven't wanted to be on the diet for a long time." "And I told you that." "But it was your idea to do it in the first place, remember?" "And besides, you've lied to me about other things before, too." "Oh yeah?" "Like what?" "Like when Filus sent you roses and you told me they were from your dad." "Alfredo, that was in high school!" "Yes, but I forgave you." "We always forgive each other." "What is she like?" "Who?" "The girl from the bank." "Is she pretty?" "Yes." "But what does that have to do with us?" "This isn't going to work." "It's been months that it's not working." "I'm sick of your diet." "Your new clothes, your exercise machines and your job that's so very important." "I hate that we moved here." "And you know what?" "Yeah, your five hundred dollar suit looks really good on you." "And I'm sure you can hook up with every girl in your office with it." "And I'm sure they're all much prettier than I am." "But you have turned into a horrible person." "I don't even recognize you." "I don't know who you are." "And I don't want to be with you anymore." "No, no." "I'm serious." "I don't want to be with you anymore." "I want my Alfredo." "The one from before." "Not this new one." "Open the door." "We have to shower before our clients get here." "I have a math test." "Honey." "Open the door." "We all have to get ready." "Wednesday at 6:00, very good." "If you want, bring all your papers, and we'll start proceedings." "No, we will ask for the bills." "Tomorrow." "Thanks." "I heard." "They're all the same." "Son of a bitch." "I'm here for you, girl." " Hello." " Hello." "Listen, I'm really sorry about what happened last night." "I think I had too much mezcal." "No worries." "I had a great time." "Really?" "I'm glad." "Okay then." "I'll see you." "Okay." "It's examples like this that show us that hard work, self control, sharing your experiences with the group, and following the program step by step, does work." "It shows us I can reach my desired weight." "How much weight did you lose, Alfredo?" "One hundred and one pounds." "Let's all give Alfredo a round of applause." "With all our admiration for having lost so much." "Hey, how are you?" "I'm well, thanks." " I'm glad." " Yeah." "Take off your clothes." "Already?" " I'll do it for you." " No, I'll do it." "That was incredible." "Stay here." " Hey, Mom." " Where were you?" "I went to the group to ask how you were doing and they told me you haven't lost one pound all year." "You should be ashamed of yourself." "I work so hard to give you everything you need, and you don't appreciate anything." "I'm sorry, Mom." "Don't be mad." "Did you have dinner yet?" "No." "You didn't call your grandma." "Or should I say, you called but you didn't go like you said you would." " Okay, but..." " No, no, no, no." "Not on the weekend." "What if she dies?" "No, I'll go on Friday." "Friday?" "What makes you so sure she'll make it to the weekend?" "Hello." "Hi, it's me." "Yeah, I know." "How are you?" "What are you doing?" "What do you mean what am I doing?" "I don't think you have the right to ask me that after everything that's happened." "After what?" "After what you did." "What did I do?" "You know what you did." "No, because I didn't do anything." "But it's easier for you to believe that I did." "Okay." "So now it's my fault that you slept with someone else." "I didn't sleep with anyone, Pumpkin." "Besides, just so you know, I'm also seeing someone else." "And I can't talk right now." "Where are you?" "I don't have to tell you where I am." "Are you at your parents' place?" "No." "What time is it?" "It's almost 9:00, honey." "Your meetings for today, dear." "It's income tax filing week." " Where?" " In there." "The problem is that if the car isn't in your name, we can't deduct the payments, sir." "What if when it's all paid I put the title in my name?" "It depends." "When will it be paid off?" "Hello." "Carmen, it's Pili." "Hi, Pili." " How are you?" " I'm well and you?" "Good, good." "We just heard about you being a finalist!" "Finalist for what?" "That cooking contest." " Seriously?" " Yes." " You didn't know?" " No, I had no idea!" "We are all here..." " I'll let you speak with everyone." " Congratulations!" "Would you excuse me for a moment?" "Corner of Bugambilia Street..." "So I have to go to Ixtapan de la Sal?" "Honey, Mr. Rogelio is waiting for you." "Yes." "Yes, I'll see you at 8:00." "Thanks." "I have a problem." " I am a Scout!" " I am a Scout!" " And I've got heart!" " And I've got heart!" "That is the best pan!" "I am a Scout and I have heart!" "That is the best pan!" " Are you Carmen Arroyo?" " Yes." "Yes, I just found her, sir." "Carmen, the program starts in ten minutes." "You don't have time to go to your room." "So you'll have to leave your bag with me and I'll take you directly to the set." "Yes, sir..." "Put on your apron." "I had to bring an apron?" "I'll get you one." "Go on." "Hurry." "We are on in ten seconds." "Let's start with camera A." "Camera B, be ready to introduce the contestants." "And 5, 4, 3, 2..." "We welcome you to the eighth edition of The Flavor Challenge." "This year we received more than 3,000 submissions." "Each and every one was evaluated by our experts." " Our experts..." " Go, Camen!" "Well, I'm on my way out." "I won't let you see anything." "So you want me to pose for your video?" "Apricot Jam" "Time's up." "In the past hour, our five finalists have prepared their dishes and the experts, our jury, have evaluated each of them." "And the winner is..." "Carmen Arroyo!" "Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" " Excuse me a moment?" " Of course." "Hello, Carmen." "If you'd like to write for the magazine, give me a call." "FOR RENT" "This call will be charged after the following tones." "Excuse me." "Is this Alfredo Nava's office?" "Isn't he the one who moved to the Satélite office?" "Ask the receptionist, she'll know." "Good afternoon." "I'm here to see Alfredo Nava." "Yes, one moment." "He's in a meeting." "Would you like to wait?" "I'll leave a note for him." "Hello." "For Ivo, with all my heart."
