Love...

- Go!
- ...is the greatest thing in our lives.

To love someone is the greatest gift.

It's more than a gift.

It's a necessity.

Teresa de Rosendo...

do you take José Luis Panizo
to be your lawfully wedded husband?



This is not going to happen.

Oh my god!

Teresa, you can't marry this man.

Huh?

I love you.

And you love me.

♪ Whatever we deny or embrace ♪

♪ For worse or for better ♪

♪ We belong, we belong ♪

♪ We belong together ♪

Let's go.

Hurry up. Let's go.

NETFLIX PRESENTS

It's for the best, you know.

I never really liked her.

I'm sorry, José Luis,
but I have to charge you anyway.

Wait, honey.

She was always...

I mean... always.

Whenever we'd invite her over,
she always had an excuse.

For my birthday, and also your father's...

that time after grandfather's surgery,
remember?

And, of course, you always
spent Christmas with her parents.

♪ Please tell me this is not true ♪

♪ That you're not cheating on me
And that you're still with me ♪

♪ And when I went to Puerto Rico... ♪

This is delicious.

Son, the catering is great.

Okay, okay. You guys can stop...

...playing that on repeat.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Thanks a lot.
- Guys, let's play "El merenguito."

One, two...

One, two, three!

This bill for the lighting equipment...

is five hundred euros.

Photographer. Two thousand euros?

She's the best one.

People take pictures
with their cellphones now.

You're saying we should've
taken our wedding photos on smart phones?

- What...
- We wanted quality photos.

You think they have to-go boxes?

How are you planning to carry
200 sirloins with foie gras?

Don't worry. I'll freeze them.
They'll be eaten in a month.

His liver will collapse.

Why'd you pay for everything?

I told you. Teresa...

Teresa is a student
and couldn't afford any of this.

And what do we do?

We help each other.

- You taught me that.
- A student? What was she studying?

Poor Teresa, the penniless student.

While Teresa was studying,
she played around too, huh?

Oh, my god.

DJ Chucho?

A thousand?

What in the world is a "DJ Chucho"?

Jesus, Mom. It's not a thing.

Deejay Chucho.

DJ, like a disc jockey,
the guy who plays the music!

The guy she left with.

What did you say?

All right. One less bill to pay.

I told you this all along.

I knew there was
something fishy about her.

Was I right or was I right?

You never said that.

I was trying not to meddle.

Just hang on a minute.

- Hmm.
- This isn't who she is.

She must've lost her marbles
and went crazy with passion.

But what always happens with passion?
It always wears off.

That's when she'll call.

If she's lucky I'll decide
to answer the phone. Wait and see.

Mm. My poor boy.

Stop. Can you guys stop playing that?
God!

Want us to do "Paquito el chocolatero"?

- No, I want you to leave!
- As you wish. We've been paid anyway.

What were you thinking,
paying up front?

What do you mean?

You pay wedding bills up front, always.

It's because of the moon.

The moon?
What are you talking about?

It's paid up front
because of the honeymoon.

Otherwise, the newlyweds would forget.

Yeah, he's right.

The honeymoon?

The honeymoon.

Listen, his fiancée dumped him
at the altar...

For another man.

As you can imagine, he's just a wreck.

- I'm fine.
- No, he's not.

Look at his face.
He's sickly and pale.

Okay, can you leave my... Continue.

I remember you now.

You're the Norwegian fjords guy.

Yeah. Listen to the guy.
He's the travel agent.

The girlfriend wanted
a super-exotic destination like Mauritius.

But he kept going on about the fjords.

- Really?
- What's wrong with the fjords?

They're boring as shit.

He eventually fell in line. Didn't you?

This one always falls in line.

- I guess I do. Or I did.
- Of course you did.

See where it got me?
In this fucked up shit storm.

And let me tell you... No, wait...

It wasn't just the honeymoon.
You know the bullshit I've been through?

- Oh my god.
- I did what her majesty wanted.

Whatever she wanted.

- The dream honeymoon her majesty wanted.
- Dream honeymoon.

- The dream wedding.
- Her wedding celebration.

- The dream home.
- Dream home...

Enough. The whole thing.

Except for the husband she wanted, right?

Sorry.

You...

You gotta help me out.

- It's just too much money.
- Poor guy.

You can help me, right?

No. I'm sorry. I can't help you.

- All right. Thank you. Can we go now?
- No. We're not going.

Didn't I tell you they wouldn't refund it?

But we had to come here
so they could laugh at me.

- No, they weren't...
- Thanks, Mom.

Oh... I think I forgot my cellphone.

Listen to me, mister.

My son is doing very bad.

I know you don't care about that,
but I am his mother.

And I'm not leaving
until you give me back all the money,

or come up with another solution.

He should just go.

How the hell could he go
on his honeymoon alone?

He'd probably die.

Then I'd die as well.

That's not a bad idea.

- What's that?
- Why don't you go with him?

You think I should go on the honeymoon?
With my son?

Listen to me.

This place is the best resort
in Mauritius.

Private beach.

Premium luxury suite
with round the clock personal assistance.

An open bar.

Lobsters as big as my arm.

And the best part... it's all inclusive.

This trip is a dream come true. A dream.

Although, there's one tiny condition.

Huh?

No way, Mom.
We're not going on the honeymoon together.

I think it's a wonderful solution.

And this way your money won't be wasted.

All he had to do
was change the name on the plane ticket.

He entered my name and removed hers.

This is a trip to Mauritius, not Benidorm.

Precisely.
That's what you need now, honey.

You need more light, sun, vitamin D...

Now I do?

Every summer you lecture me
on how the sun will give me cancer.

- If you don't hydrate.
- If I don't hydrate.

Apparently, the drinks in the hotel
are completely free.

Oh my goodness!
I'm going to the beach!

We've been to Salobreña, right?

The only fish we saw there
were on skewers.

Leave the kid alone.

I'm not leaving him.

Just look at him.
With his poor little broken heart.

You want to go for the fish,
not to mend my heart.

Listen... I don't want to go anywhere.

Got it? Not with you or anyone.
Tomorrow I'm going back to my old life.

I'll go out, I'll date,
'cause I look great on Tinder.

Everything will go back to normal.

- Of course.
- See what you did?

- You spoiled his excitement.
- Me?

- What's this?
- Oh... It's nothing!

No, you didn't...

What is this bullshit?

Er... It's my wedding gift.
I painted it myself.

Your father's decided
he wants to paint now.

Where did you learn?

YoTube.

Jesus Christ. It's so horrendous
I want to gouge out my eyes.

- I can fix it. Don't worry.
- You can't. How would you?

I can remove Teresa's face and replace it.

Can you replace it with a human face?

Who do you fancy?
How about one of those celebrity chicks?

Mariah Carey. Uh, Cher?

Or Shakira?

- They're all so good, I can't pick.
- What now?

Do I start packing or what?

No, Mom. Don't pack, no!

Hmm.

I can't fucking believe her.

Would she go on honeymoon with Grandma?
Of course not.

- She didn't have a honeymoon.
- Sure she did.

She didn't. I had too much work,
so I promised I'd take her to Paris,

as soon as possible.

But then you were born. And...

We kept putting it off and putting it off...

- So, you two didn't go?
- No.

How are you doing?

Hey. Fine.

Poor dear.

Oh, yeah. The truth is, it was tough.

Well, just...

Just hang in there.

There are many fish in the sea.

Her loss.

If there's anything you need...

here I am.

Actually, I'm having
this really crazy thought right now.

I'm sure you're going to be like,
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?"

But let me throw you this curve
and you can take it as you like, okay?

- José Luis...
- Nah, I'm not going to throw it.

What is it?

- I'm not going to say.
- What?

I have two tickets for a resort
in Mauritius, leaving tomorrow.

To an exclusive resort.
I was going to give them up...

But now listening to you,
I'm thinking...

Even though we've barely talked,
I think we get along really well, right?

So I'm just thinking...

why don't we go together?

You and I.

As friends, yeah, but intimate friends.

Well?

We have a deal or no deal?
What do you say?

I say I have a husband, two kids,
and actually I'd just come to ask

if I could have the money
I gave you for the wedding back.

Got it.

If you give me your bank info,
I'll transfer it this afternoon.

- Here it is.
- Great.

He made a fool of himself.

He told me he got left at the altar.

TERESA
CALLING

Hi. It's Teresa. I'm busy
right now and I can't talk.

Leave a message
and I'll call you back. Bye.

Er...

- We're going.
- We'll have the best time...

AY 5607 MAURITIUS - C21

- Are you okay?
- Huh?

We're this way.

- I know, Mom.
- What's the matter with you?

Hmm. Patrick Swayze. My god.

- Did you fasten your seat belt?
- Yes.

- It's too loose. It should be tight.
- It's loose?

Keep it like that.
It could get really turbulent.

Are you nervous?

Nervous? I'm not nervous.

That'd be strange
since you've flown so much.

Can you take one of those sleeping pills,
please?

I won't take those
'cause I don't wanna mix.

- What do you mean?
- A glass of champagne?

- That's very kind. Thank you very much.
- I'm fine, thanks.

Welcome on board Flight AY 5607
heading to Mauritius Island.

Please fasten your seat belt...

Mom, stop it.

...and prepare for takeoff.

- In a few hours...
- Put that away.

- Leave it.
- Turn it off.

I'm only checking to see if she posted.

- Who?
- Teresa.

Listen to me, please.
She ruined your wedding.

- You want to let her ruin your honeymoon?
- Uh-huh.

- Put that phone down!
- Stop touching my stuff!

- You're acting like a nightmare.
- You're crazy.

Well, all right.

Hey, Mom...

Do you think...

- When we...
- Dirty Dancing!

♪ ...my life ♪

♪ ...for me ♪

♪ ...for me ♪

Oh, my god. This is so beautiful.

Look at that, sweetie.
Look at the girls with those skirts.

This is so nice, isn't it?

Wow, I'm dying.

Wow.

Yeah, me too.

It's very hot.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- We have a reservation.
- First time here?

- Effectively.
- Isn't he a handsome boy?

I bet we have a wonderful room.

We have a reservation
under José Luis Panizo.

Great, here it is.

I see you booked the Lovers Suite.

- The package called Love is Eternal.
- Love is Eternal.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Oh, no! We're not...
- Huh?

So you didn't book the lovers package?

- Yes, we booked this room...
- Ah, okay.

You're going
to absolutely love it, all right.

It comes with a lot of great gifts
for the new couples.

- What do you mean? Gifts?
- Yes, gifts, but...

Wait, not just gifts.
Gifts and activities.

- I love activities.
- Activities?

Can you shut up for a minute?

Let me tell you,
all the activities we offer

are free of charge for our new couples.
And exclusively for them.

That's what I'm trying to say.
We're not actually a new couple.

Oh, of course not.

- No.
- Couples? How could we be?

"New couple"! Can you imagine?
No, no, no. Of course not.

Because, actually, we are now married.

Ahh.

Shut it.

- What?
- You're my hubby now.

We're going to take you
to the Love Villa.

It's the most private villa
we have for our couples.

I don't know, girl.
We're such romantic people.

My goodness.

And the best is that
your package includes the Matasa wedding.

The Matasa wedding?
What's that?

It's our nuptial ceremony.
On their last day on the island,

we offer the couples the chance

to marry on a private island we own.

That way, you can say you've been married
according to our culture.

Right?

You're from the island too?

No, I'm from Cornellà.

The Honeymoon Suite!

Here you go.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe it.

Yes. And long live your marriage.

Oh, this is so wonderful.

I just can't believe this.

Oh! Oh.

Do you happen
to have something less romantic?

We're a low-key couple. We'd be just fine.

That's just you, my darling.

There is not one single room available
on the whole island.

I promise you that.

- You don't have something else?
- Dummy, everything is occupied.

That's because...
we're in the season of love.

Don't you see that?

You've been really lucky
to find this room.

Think about it.

This room is only, and exclusively,
for enamored couples

who come here to celebrate
their lives and their romance together.

Look, last year, I had to kick
a couple out of this suite myself.

Because they weren't in love.

They were breaking the rules of the hotel.

I think it's good, really. I do.

Don't you think so?

New lovers want romance.

You don't want snoops.

Yeah, no. We also hate snoopers.

Would you both
kindly come with me, please?

- No!
- Jean-Pierre, throw the petals.

Don't bother with that.

- No... but, no.
- Let him. Come on. It's lovely.

This is just the beginning.

Anything to make our lovebirds happy.

I want you
to take a listen to this, please.

That's nice, huh?

Okay, yeah.

Actually we'd prefer to hear
the sound of the ocean.

Thank you very much.

No, I can't take this.

This is truly offensive for me.

I promise you that. My only purpose here
is to make your stay in this hotel

the most enjoyable you will ever have.

I want you to remember this trip forever.

- Trust me, it's unforgettable.
- Okay. That's all the payment I need.

Let's go, Jean-Pierre.

Let's leave this couple to enjoy.

That's what we're here for.

Come on. Our job here is done.

- There are nice bathrobes!
- Okay!

Yeeeah!

I really like this song, Jean-Pierre.

- Have fun, okay? Enjoy your time here.
- Yeah.

- Absolutely.
- See you later.

- See you.
- Bye.

- Oh, my god.
- Come in here with me!

Come join your mother in the bedroom!

It's the comfiest bed.

Listen. We're not doing this, okay.

- Do what?
- Don't try to play dumb.

Oh god. Don't make
such a big deal out of it.

We're not going to pretend
to be husband and wife!

- Why? It's not believable?
- It's disgusting.

Let me remind you, when you
were a little boy everybody used to say,

"Your mom looks so young,
she could be your sister."

Sleeping with your sister
is also disgusting.

God, you're acting so silly.

Listen to me.

I'm not going to give up
this amazing room.

- I mean it.
- You wanted a vacation, now you have it.

What am I even doing here?

- Trying to overcome my grief.
- Very well.

Since you're my mother,
it'd be nice if you could respect that.

Just a thought.

When I try to tell you

that I need space,
don't pester me with your chit-chat.

- Okay.
- Seems like you forgot why we're here.

But right now, Mom...

I'm in a living hell.

♪ Used to be so easy ♪

♪ To give my heart away ♪

♪ But I found out the hard way ♪

Please, mister.

A glass of sangria.

What?

- One glass of sangria.
- I don't understand.

Yeah...

- Well, then...
- Try the daiquiri.

They do it really well.

Oh, well, then.

One daiquiri.

Daiquiri.

Armando.

Oh, Armando. I'm Mari Carmen.

Enchanté, Mari Carmen.

Oh, okay. Nice to meet you.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Let's find out.

Hmm.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

Perfect. That's wonderful.

- Bye.
- Did you come alone?

No, I'm here with...

With my husband.

Who?

That's him.

Oh.

A young husband awaits you
at the table.

- Hmm.
- And a daiquiri at the bar.

You know how to live life, Mari Carmen.

I try though.

- Thank you. I'm going to join my husband.
- Sure.

- Bye bye then.
- Bye.

- Oh!
- Sorry, ma'am.

Pardon.

I just crashed into this guy.

Hmm.

You have no idea how tasty this is.

Daiquiri.

- You want a little sip?
- No.

No? Okay, we gotta plan
all these activities.

Where do we start? What do you think?

We'll do whatever I feel like
because I'm the one suffering. Got it?

Right now, what I really want to do

is to lie down by myself with a drink
and do some thinking.

I want to reflect on what happened
because it was messed up.

You hearing me?

I'm going to make us some sandwiches.
For the outing.

Because with this kind of thing,

you never know
when you're going to eat.

I'll put some sliced avocados in there
because you really like that.

Hi. It's Teresa. I'm busy
right now and I can't talk.

Leave a message
and I'll call you back. Bye.

God damn it.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You won't notice me, okay?

I'll be here, very still and silent.

Like a cold, dead body.

Which I know
is what you'd like me to be.

Let's see.

Want some?

Just a little?

Just a little bit.
I can do it. You won't notice.

You want me to?

I'll come do it.

You really do need a mother
to look after you.

There you go, kiddo.

Like that.

Hmm.

Yeah, that's it.

I'm waiting for you to finish!

- I am.
- You just... You... You have no boundaries.

- All right.
- It's just exhausting, Mom!

Oh. You have a little...

Don't leave it like that.

All right, all right, all right...

You had a big white patch on your face.
Come on.

What is this?

I'm getting some sun.

- I'm not comfortable with you like that!
- Oh my God!

All right, so if can't sunbathe,

I can't do any of these
wonderful activities for couples

that they describe in the brochures,
explain what I can do.

- You want to do something together?
- Of course!

Let's do something together,
then leave me alone. Agreed?

- Yes.
- Great. Let's go on that outing.

Ah!

Look, here it comes.

- This is the bus we're taking on the trip?
- I guess so.

It's a pretty shitty bus.
I don't know if I want to do this.

Oh, God, you're such a pain.

Hello, people. Who is here
for a good quad excursion?

Pay attention, everybody!

Attention! Everybody, pay attention to me!

Our first road ends in a kilometer.

Then after that
we'll follow the cliff on foot...

On foot.

Northbound.

To the north! To the north!

To the north!

And then you'll try the best rum
on this island.

Do you like rum?

Yes, I really like it!

- Yeah!
- I can't hear you!

Do you like some rum?

- Yeah!
- Yes!

The rum place
is at the other side of the cliff.

Right next to a sugarcane field.

Miss, I do have one question.

Is this all included?

Uh, what are you saying?

It's the best rum on the island.
If it's not included, we'll pay.

Yeah, yeah. It's all included, honey.

Thank you, darling.

- Of course it's included.
- You can't know...

I paid, all-inclusive.

Take a photo of that.
I have to ask her something.

- Sara, right?
- Yeah.

José Luis. Nice to meet you.
Your outing's really cool.

It's nice to meet you.

Taking a trip?

- Yes, I'm with my...
- Our... anniversary.

- Yeah, right.
- Oh, that's nice.

- Take the photo. Look at the cliff.
- I'm going.

She's my mother. I took her on vacation.
She's such a pain!

It's very nice of you
to take a trip with your mother.

- Yes. It's a pain, but beautiful too.
- I'm glad.

- Me too...
- Okay!

Time to try that rum!

- Do you like rum?
- Me? Love it.

- Really?
- Always have.

- Do you like it?
- I love it.

Because I don't like it if you don't.

From now on,
I'll only like whatever you like.

- Okay?
- José.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Let's not keep it waiting,
so that we won't stop liking it.

- We won't stop.
- Just in case.

- Let's go.
- Oh, my god.

- What are you doing, Mom?
- Let's go.

- Get over here.
- Let's go!

- Are you ready for more fun?
- Let me spray... for mosquitoes.

Stop spraying that.

- I don't want this.
- Come on. Don't be so fussy.

Get on. Everyone's leaving right now.

- No, they're not.
- Yes, they're leaving.

Climb on.

- Try holding on like a normal person?
- Let's go.

Try moving your leg.
It's slipping.

It's fine right here.

- Don't drive so fast!
- I'm trying to catch up.

We'll find them, eventually.

This is not the right way.
This is not the right way.

What now?

We lost them, because of you.

Is it this way...
Or that way?

Why are you
holding my hand like this, Mom?

Jesus, just let me.

You can walk in front of me.

Oh.

Hello?

Hello?

- It must've been the other path.
- It was not the other path.

Looks like there are people here.

See? Told you it was this way.

Look at this.

This place is as sketchy
as your Uncle Alfredo.

Where'd the group go?

Um, we got here before them.

Or after?

And they've left all because of you.

Let's go to the bar.

Oh!

- Hello.
- Hello.

My friend.

One rum.

No, two.

Two rum.

No, better. Make it four.

Four rum. Four rum.

Four.

Why four?

It's all free.

I'm not sure
this is the right place though.

God, you're boring.

My friend.

Here, drink it.

I'm not drinking it.

Go ahead. Just drink it.
This is a tasting, so taste it.

Come on, taste it.

Good.

What the fuck is this?

Let's get out of here, please!

Hold on. We gotta check
this place out, right?

- I've seen it. We can go.
- All right.

- Thank you.
- Bye, now.

Let's get out of here.

Hey.

Where's the money?

No. No, no. No money, no. This is free.

The two of us...

With the group. This...

This is free, no?

You pay.

- What did he say?
- I told you!

No way. You're not paying anything.

You paid enough already.

This is all included.

- This is not the place though!
- Whatever.

You pay!

Okay, no touching.

- Don't touch my son!
- Don't stand up for me.

I can do it myself.

What happened
is that the group...

They're going to kill you!

Of course I pay.

You pay!

More.

- Okay?
- More.

I pay this.

No, more.

I pay this.

- More!
- I pay this?

More!

- I pay this?
- More.

- I pay this.
- More!

Pay this. That's it.

- More!
- Pay this...

Cut it out with "pay this." There it is.
That's enough.

That's good.

See, Mom. Because of you
we paid 400 for a few drinks.

Yes, hon, you're right.

Whatever you say.
Why don't you eat something?

- Come on.
- Mom, let me be clear.

We've done something together.
Now leave me alone, all right?

- I don't want to leave the hotel!
- Don't call me Mom!

I don't want them to take away
my room, you understand?

There are no other rooms
on the whole island.

We leave in a week
so just sleep with me.

Oh, god damn. She's looking now.
Let's pretend.

Look at me. Look at me and smile. Smile.

Yeah, more. Look at me like this.

Here, just kiss me.

What?

- Kiss me on the mouth.
- I don't know what...

- Right. Like this.
- What did you say?

What's up with you, lovebirds? Huh?

- So, how's dinner going?
- It's great.

Look, I wanted to tell you
that we're doing a competition

for all of our couples. What do you think?

Want to participate?

- Of course!
- I don't think so.

Hey, you. Don't answer so quickly!

I haven't told you the prize yet.

- There's a prize?
- Of course there is!

See, the prize is a trip

to visit the ocean floor.

The ocean floor!
Oh, honey, the ocean floor!

Mom...

Mon amour.

What's on the ocean floor?
We kinda know what's there.

Fish and algae. Why go?

Sign us both up.

Attention.

Each couple

has to bring the papaya...

...from this place

to the other place.

But, attention!

Without using your hands.

You know?

Understand?

Without using your hands.

What did she say?

She's saying it's impossible, let's go.

What? No, we can figure it out.

One, two, three.

Let's go!

Go. Come on! Let's go!

Mom, stop...

I don't want to!

- Take the papaya!
- I don't know what you're saying!

I said take the papaya!

Hurry!

Go. Hurry up!

- Don't break it!
- I'm coming!

Ugh. You kissed me!

Hurry!

The ocean floor
is going to be just spectacular.

Okay. I'm going to go take a shower.

Why such a long face, kiddo?

- Cheer up, we won!
- No, I didn't win at all.

You just won't listen.

I don't want games.
I don't want any trips.

You make me do dumb things
that make me feel ridiculous.

Sorry, son, for trying
to make you feel a little better.

Yeah, but you can't.

Because I was dumped at the altar.

I know. I know, honey. I know.

No, you don't know.

I know what you're trying to do,
but this isn't working for me.

I'm not doing well.

Because this whole thing's messed me up.

Uh-huh.

And having you on my back doesn't help.

Stop drinking the tap water.
You'll get diarrhea.

See. You never listen!
Fuck the tap water!

Look, I'm drinking.

Look, now I'm drinking.

Look, now I'm drinking.

- Nothing's happening!
- Same bad temper as your father.

That happens
when someone spends 40 years with you!

You know why Teresa
never wanted to go to your house?

Because you're exhausting!

You're so exhausting!

You're right.

I'm so exhausting.

Where are you going? You leaving?

This is the first time
I've got out of my house in years.

I'm not planning on cooping up
in this room... with you.

Is everything okay?

Hello.

Yeah, everything's fine. I just...
How are you? Everything good?

Everything's great.
I'm doing a still life with pears.

Are you guys having fun?
How's our son?

Oh, bad. He's so bad.

It's just that he...
It breaks my heart to see him like this.

Just give him time.

But the thing is...

He won't relax enough
to enjoy the nice things here.

You couldn't possibly imagine
how beautiful it is out here.

Oh, Ángel,

I wish we could've come here
when we were young.

Oh, my love, do you...

ever think about the two of us together?

Huh? What do you mean?

Well, do you ever think

about us, when we were young,
before we got married?

I do... a lot.

Are you with me or the damn pears?

Er, I'm running out of light here!

Whatever. Goodbye, then.

Pears!

Such a dumbass!

One daiquiri.

- Make it two.
- Oh God! You scared me!

Bonsoir, Mari Carmen.

- So, how are you?
- Fine. And you?

- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Good.

Where's your husband?

He's home.

No, not home. He's in the room, I mean...

- He's painting a... painting.
- Right now?

Yeah. How about you, sir?

Oh!

Don't "sir" me, please.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you alone,
or is your wife joining you?

No, there's no wife.

- Oh, no?
- They tend to grow tired of me.

I doubt that.

- Why's that?
- I didn't say anything.

I'm here doing some work.

Oh.

I'm a photographer.

- A photographer?
- Yes.

Oh, I love that! That's so nice.

Come again?

I love this sky.

Those are some big fat stars, huh?

This is a really beautiful world.

- Huh?
- Hmm.

Let's drink to this exquisite moment.

What?

I mean, "cheers."

Oh, all right. Salut, salut.

- We say "toast."
- Toast.

Yeah. Toast. Toast to life.

Monsieur, Madame.

- Merci. Okay, merci.
- Merci. Merci.

Well, they're kicking us out.

- Already? It's so early.
- Yeah.

Oh my god. Such a shame.
This tastes so good.

- Give me a second, hmm?
- Mm.

Don't speak to me in Creole!

No. Because you know it confuses me.

Diving helmet. Think diving helmet.

Dolphins.

Zip line.

- Because we had problems...
- Hi.

Oh, this guy!

The king of the papaya. Did you have fun?

- We really did, yeah.
- You did?

Have you seen the lady
who is traveling with me?

You mean your wife?

- My wife.
- No, I haven't.

But just now, a really cute girl
came in here asking about you.

There she is. Right over there.

So much fun in your life...

Here are the documents.

Hmm.

She was the guide for our trip.

Oh! But I didn't say anything.

God, heaven forbid.
It's none of my business, right?

Can you come here for a moment, please?

Come, just a second.

Do you know
why I'm working in reception here?

No.

A few years back,
when I first arrived on this island

I fell deeply in love
with a certain fellow.

You know the drill. We had a good time
so I took him back to Cornellà with me.

So, fast forward six months...

And he'd sunken my whole entire family
into bankruptcy.

Every one of us ruined.

- That's horrible.
- Life's such a fucking bitch

that now I'm forced
to slave away here at reception.

Purely to pay off the mortgage
on my house in Cornellà,

while this deadbeat guy's still there
living like a king, like a maharaja.

So I think, "How could you be
stupid enough to fall for that, Montse?"

It's not my fault.

I swear that it wasn't my fault.

It's something about this island.

It bewitches you, I think.

It has a bizarre kind of energy.

I swear, it's got a strange frequency.

It gives a...

...that makes you want
to sleep with other people.

I'm telling you now. Okay?

Every time I think about the island,

I just want to burn
this whole motherfucker.

Along with that piece of shit con artist
who ruined my whole life.

Do you understand?

Er...

Okay, so I was saying,

you are such a nice couple.

We will take so many pictures.

Can I go now?

Of course! All this is here
for your pleasure and enjoyment.

Have yourself some fun.

I can divert this...

Whatever you want.

Joel, Monica, nice to meet you.

Make love, have some fun.

Au revoir.

Okay. What am I going to do now?

Sara!

José Luis, how are you?

Thanks so much.

- For what?
- You didn't file a complaint.

Why would I? It was our fault.

No, it wasn't. It was on me,

because before I knew it,
you were gone and at the wrong bar.

- I'm sorry.
- Not at all. We got lost.

And then my Mom and I
made fools of ourselves. Don't worry.

Okay. You can repeat the trip anytime.

- Okay?
- Okay.

All right.

You know, I'm more...

Tell me you didn't drink the tap water.

- The tap water? No.
- Uh-huh?

Everybody knows not to drink from the tap.
Always from bottles.

- No.
- Doesn't matter where, right. New York...

Los Angeles, the fjords.
Have you been to the fjords?

Yeah, they're boring as shit.

I've never been there, but I love...

...the fjords.

Love them.

Okay.

It's nice to know that you love something.

Yeah...

I'm staying here.

Are you staying or leaving?

- No, I was just leaving.
- Right.

- You sure you're okay?
- Yeah.

Well, see you.

- Okay. Ciao!
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye bye.

Adios!

My number's at the reception.

Hm. Oh, my god.

Hello.

What're you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Okay, do you take me for a massive idiot?

I know very well what's going on here.

All right. I have to get in there.
We'll talk later.

No. We're talking right now.

You two are not just any ordinary couple.

Okay, you caught us. I really have to go.

You're a sexually liberated couple.

One, glance. Two, touch. Three, frolic.
Huh?

Eh? But, you know, I don't care.

- If you knew the freaky shit I've seen...
- Gotta hit the toilet.

Oh.

Do you want a... massage?

Mm...

Mm, what?

♪ Used to be so easy ♪

♪ To give my heart away ♪

♪ But I've found out the hard way ♪

♪ There's a price you have to pay ♪

♪ I found out that love... ♪

Oh!

Careful. Look out for him.

- Oh, this is so nice!
- Yes, it is.

I love it.

- Hey.
- How are you, dear?

But... are you sure
we're allowed to be here?

Of course we are. We're his guests.

- Okay, okay.
- Let's grab a drink.

- Look, there are people there.
- It's nice, isn't it?

It's wonderful.

- Bonsoir, Mari Carmen.
- Thank you very much.

Great. Thanks so much, man.

Oh my goodness! It's been so long since
I was at a party with so many people.

They haven't changed much, you know?

Yeah, but I have.

- What are you saying?
- Hmm.

You look fabulous.

Er... I'm going to go get a daiquiri.

Ah.

I was looking for you.
I couldn't find you.

- Here.
- No, I don't smoke.

Neither do I.

What?

This isn't tobacco.

- Oh.
- Relax, this is really good.

They sell it at the street market
on the island.

- No, I haven't...
- Enjoy.

- I've never taken drugs. No, no, no.
- But...

But this isn't a drug.
It's just a little bit of weed.

It's called Green Emerald.

- Really?
- It's a typical thing here.

- Here.
- No, I can't. I just can't.

- It's too embarrassing, really.
- Mari Carmen.

You're on a tropical island.

In the middle of the ocean.

No one knows you here, right?

Enjoy it.

Okay, I'll do it.

I don't know.

Let's see.

There you go.

Maybe it's not the right key?

Who locked the door?

- Mari Carmen.
- Open up.

Lady! Open the door! It's me. Oh!

Howdy...

Hi.

I stole this donut. Look at this.

I can see that.

- Do you want to take it? Here.
- No.

Take it. It's for you.

I just wanted to make sure
she made it back here okay.

She's not okay.

I'm going to play some music.

- This is so boring.
- All right.

Don't worry. It's her honeymoon.

A little fun doesn't hurt anyone.

Excuse me, who are you?

He's Armando,
a friend of mine.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.
- Good night. Bye.

- So?
- So?

Where have you been?

I've been out.

What do you mean? Out of the hotel?

God damn it, Mom. That could be dangerous.

Oh, my son. Look at him,
worrying about his mama.

- Are you drunk?
- My pretty boy.

- What did you drink?
- Nothing.

My ass. Let me smell your breath.

Ah...

Mom, you smell like pot.

Did you smoke?

What are you, fifteen?

- Go to bed!
- Oh!

- "Oh, oh, oh." To bed!
- All right, all right.

Yeah, I'm going to bed.

No, no more. Come on.

I'm glad you had fun
with this man we know nothing about.

His name is Armando, okay?
He's a photographer.

- I don't care what he is.
- Oh, gosh...

I can be a pain in the ass,
but you, my son...

are a real doofus.

It's no wonder
Teresa left you because...

...you are a...

You are as boring as hell.

I'm peeing.

I peed my panties!

Hi. It's Teresa. I'm busy
right now and I can't talk.

Leave a message
and I'll call you back. Bye.

So?

A bit of a hangover?

Happy nights, sad mornings.

- Daiquiri.
- Daiquiri.

- Hey!
- Hello.

Bye bye!

- Calvin.
- Bonjour, Mari Carmen.

How's the dermatitis?

- What?
- The skin on your elbow.

Uff, that looks really bad.

Let me give you this lotion.

It's great, from the Discount Mart.

I mean, Discount Mar... here? No?

Discount Mart?

Huh? Whatever. Okay. Here.

For you.

- For you.
- Thank you.

Apply it there and you'll see.

God bless you, Mari Carmen.

Oh, what a night...

Mari Carmen!

Hi.

You gonna tell me
what you did last night?

I'd love to,
but I remember absolutely nothing.

Nothing.

You shouldn't go out alone.

Are you really telling me this now?

No, I mean that...

Next time you go out,
you don't need to do it alone.

I don't follow you.

I mean, you're right though.

'Cause doing stuff will do me good.

Sorry, but I don't...

I don't know
what you mean exactly, my son.

Help me have a good time the way you do.

- Are you serious?
- Yes. Let's do stuff together.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, get ready.
Because it's going to be fabulous.

So buying drugs is the wild thing
you want to do right now?

It's not drugs. It's just a little weed.

Like arugula or radishes.

Yeah, like marijuana?

It sounds worse when you put it like that,
but it's not...

Wait and see how good it makes you feel.

- You'll feel so good.
- What's the strain called?

Green Emerald.

We can buy it here?

Yeah, at some stall.

Which one? There's a million stalls.

We just have to ask around.

Sure, Mom.

We can't be asking around like that.

We'll get arrested.
We'll end up on Locked Up Abroad.

- What?
- You don't think?

Of course not. We just need to be careful.

Oh my God!

What is it?

That cucumber is huge.

It's insane!

This cucumber?

- Papaya. Take it.
- No.

Not papaya. Not papaya.

Green Emerald.

What?

You tell her.

Green Emerald?

Eh...

Oh!

Bonjour.

- Hi.
- Is this the...?

- Good morning.
- Hello, my friend.

- Er...
- Green. Green emerald?

- Please, Mom, let me talk.
- You're too nervous.

- You could use some weed.
- They don't understand you. Let me do it.

Green Emerald, please.

- Green Emerald?
- Yes.

He's laughing. Let's see what he gives us.

Maybe he'll bring us something special.

- That's it!
- This is it?

- This is it, okay?
- Yeah. Pay the man.

- For you. The money.
- Thank you.

- That's it?
- Do you want a receipt? Move, go!

- So, is this...?
- Hold on, I think this...

This is oregano.

- No, it can't be oregano.
- It is.

- You know what oregano smells like.
- It's herbal but it's not oregano.

It is.

Excuse me!

Look. Here he comes.

He noticed he gave us
the wrong bag with oregano.

You like Green Emerald?

- What's he saying?
- He's asking if we like it.

It's great for pizza. Super tasty.

Yes.

- It's good.
- We like. Yes.

For pizza, good.

Pizza good.

Perfect.

- Perfect.
- You're under arrest.

Both of you.

Okay, I hope you've chilled a little.

Actually, that...

That didn't turn out well.

No shit. Do you know
we could get 50 years for drug dealing?

Drug dealing? Don't overreact!
Please, come on.

We'll just pay a fine and get released.

Well, this is my honeymoon.

Great.

You haven't told me
what happened to you yet.

- With what?
- With Teresa.

Come on, you know.

She left me with our wedding DJ.
What else can I tell you?

Those things don't happen overnight.

There had to be something else, right?

How were things between you?

Not so great.

We didn't get along too well,

but we didn't argue too much.

Now that I think about it,
she'd been acting weird for a while.

But so was I, so I mean...

I didn't think it was important.

Then I had the brilliant idea
of getting married.

Why?

She always said
she wanted to get married and...

- You know?
- Did you?

Did you want to?

I didn't care either way.

Really.

But I thought,

"Shit. That's what couples do."

They go through stages.

It can't be fun and happy all the time.

Right?

What? It's true.

You move together,
you marry, you have kids.

That's the way relationships are built.

No, honey, no.

That's how you hide all of your problems.

Full-on psychologist mode?

I'm not in that mode.

But experience is a great teacher, honey.

Things didn't go too bad
for you and Dad.

You've been together since forever,
and it works fine.

Your father...

He cheated me.

He cheated on you?

No, I mean that
he actually cheated me in life.

At first,

we went out a lot.
He gave me rides on his motorbike.

I don't know. We went places, you know?

- We used to dance.
- Dad used to dance?

- He used to.
- No way.

He was good, you know?
He handled himself.

Yeah, yeah.

Then we got married
and it was gone.

Never again.

Our lives were just working...

the house,

eating,

sleeping...

Well, and now painting.

Stop it, please!

Will you shut up?
You're giving me a headache!

Sorry, sorry, madam.

Honey, what happened to you and Teresa
was meant to happen.

- You spent a fortune on the wedding, but...
- Fuck, I did.

You spared yourself years of suffering.

You have the right to one phone call.

- Who do we call? Dad?
- Your father...

If he mediates, we'll get a life sentence.

Fuck.

What do we do?

- Let me call.
- Who are you calling?

A new friend.

The gray-haired guy?

- The French photographer I met.
- But...

Okay, call him,
since we're here because of him.

Let's see. What was...?

The hotel... Oh, right.

No.

Right.

Hello?

Yes, please.
Could you connect me to Armando?

The French photographer.

What?

Oh.

Okay. Thank you. Bye.

So?

He's... not at the hotel.

Shit. What do we do?

I don't know.

I don't know anybody else on the island.

- Hold on. I do.
- Huh?

Sara's Adventures. Hello?

Hi Sara. It's José Luis.

Hey! José Luis, how are you?

Great.

Well, more like okay.

Um, actually, my mother and I
are in jail.

What?

- What did you do?
- Yeah.

- We were...
- Buying drugs!

Mom, shut up, please.

We tried to get Green Emerald for my mom.

- For both of us.
- Okay.

Could you bail us
out of here, please?

Ooh! I'm with some tourists.
I have to take them on a water outing.

Yes, of course.

Someone who lives here has to get us out,
you know.

- I'm coming to get you.
- Really? Shit.

- I owe you.
- Thanks, beautiful!

- José Luis.
- What?

- Do you have a swimsuit?
- Huh?

I don't like this!
This is worse than jail!

Stop!

Great job.
You're doing fine! Whoa.

- Wow.
- Stop it!

Oh my goodness. Try no hands!

No! Tell him to stop! Stop!

- What? What?
- What? What?

It's going too fast!

- What?
- No more!

- He said, "More, more!"
- Okay.

Full speed, captain! Come on!

No! Stop! Stop!

Stop it!

Oh no!

Where is he? Oh.

Wait.

Oh, boy.

- What the actual fuck?
- José Luis!

Hey!

Are you okay?

Everything's fine.

I'm perfectly fine.

What?

Two jellyfish.

Don't panic, huh?

That... That... That was, uh...

Come on.

I can't do the moves.

Come on. Trust me.

See?

This is what I wanted to do with my life.

To travel, to meet people,

to see the world.

So why didn't you?

It's not that that easy, son.

But I tried, believe me.

I was, like, 16 or so,

and one time I ran away from home.

When you ran away,
where did you want to go?

To Ibiza.

- Ibiza?
- Yeah.

He preferred Pontevedra.

Oh, sure. No wonder.

Dad's so crazy about seafood, right?

No, not your dad.
My first boyfriend, from Galicia.

- From Galicia?
- Hmm.

You had a boyfriend before Dad?

Of course, and Dad had a girlfriend.

And when we met, we broke up with them.

But why didn't I know any of this stuff?

Because I had a life
before I met you, my darling.

I mean, yeah, I figured
but you've never told me these stories.

It turns out I know nothing about you.

Well, I know everything about you.

- Excuse me?
- You heard me.

A son has no secrets
from his mom, sweetie.

Mom, don't make me laugh.

Okay, I didn't run away from home
but I've had stories.

And I know all of them.

Mom, you don't know shit about me.

Okay, so, you don't think

I know more things about you
than you know about me?

- Of course not.
- You wanna bet?

This game is about
who knows the other better.

Mm.

You miss, you drink.
You don't answer, you have to drink.

- If I get it right?
- I have to drink.

Very well then.

You'll get so hammered
you won't remember anything after tonight.

I'll go easy on the first one.
What was my first job?

That's a piece of cake.

Computer technician
at Gerardo's law office.

You were totally underpaid

and that bastard used to touch your ass.

Correct. Shit. That was super easy.

Drink.

So, what was my first job, then?

Mom, you can't start by asking
a trick question. It's obvious.

You've never had a job.

Salesperson in a perfume shop.

- No way.
- When I was 17.

Drink up.

I hadn't been born back then.
That's not fair.

You could've asked about it
at any point in your life, right?

Just to get to know your mom.

Drink up.

Ah. Drink up.

All right.

That was too much.

Here, drink up.

Okay, fuck it.

- When did I lose my virginity?
- When?

Or to whom?

Suit yourself. You don't know.

True. It's so private.

I don't know... Hmm.

To Inés, the neighbor on the third floor,
at age 19,

when your father and I
went to Salobreña on vacation.

How did you know that?

Because of the look
you had on your face.

Come on. Drink up.

Okay. You've won the game.
Congratulations.

What? Go ahead and ask me.

Ask you what?
When did you lose yours?

For example.

Mm mmm.

- It's obvious it wasn't to Dad.
- No.

The Galician guy?

I'm not telling you, not a chance.

- Why?
- I don't want to.

Look at this.

There.

No.

Mom, this is bullshit!

Let's go.

- No, listen to me.
- What?

- That was cheating.
- I'm not cheating.

I mean it.
Did I tell you or did I tell you?

I don't know what you told me.

A son has no secrets from his mother.

Whatever, but tell me your secret.

- I'm not telling you. I'm not.
- Damn.

But...

there's something...

So there's something. I knew it. What?

Six months ago,

they found a lump on my breast.

I was... so terrified.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to worry you.

So what, you went alone?

I went alone.

I don't need anybody for that.

What did they tell you?

- It was a false alarm.
- You're certain?

Totally certain.

- Dad didn't realize it?
- No.

The man's totally brain-dead.

No, nobody realized anything.

Nobody.

I promise you,
this'll be the trip of your life.

It already is.

Hey, José Luis!

- Excuse me.
- Looking good!

- Hey!
- How's it going?

Better than the last time you saw me.

- Are you alone?
- Not alone.

Look who's with me.

Over there. Look at her.

Dancing "La cucaracha."

You two never cease to amaze me.

You want one?

Okay.

Whoa!

Another one for you?

No, I have a trip tomorrow
and I don't want a hangover.

Where are you going tomorrow?

Want to come?

Sure, shit, of course I do.

Oh! Tomorrow? I can't tomorrow.

Fuck, I can't. I'm going with my mom
to see the ocean floor.

It's all right. It's all right.

See you, José!

Sara! Sara!

I think my mother
would like it by herself too.

Are you sure?

Yeah, sure. She'll understand.

Yeah, let's go on the trip.

Take the earplugs,
you might get tinnitus.

What? No, I'm fine.

- She's nice, isn't she?
- Who?

Who do you think? Sara.

Oh... yeah.

She's cute.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Nothing.

Yeah, right.

It's just that Teresa was also
very nice too.

Why are you mentioning Teresa now?

Take the earplugs, or you'll forget
and get tinnitus eventually, and...

What? Come on, Mom. Tinnitus?

All right, then.

Where's my red shirt?

This is my favorite place
on the island.

I can see why.
It's really beautiful.

You had fun
with your mom yesterday, right?

Holy shit.

The amount she can drink is not natural.

You two seem very close.

Well, we have our moments.

How about you and your parents?

Well, my father and I haven't been
on speaking terms for a while.

- Really?
- Hm.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't worry. He's an asshole.

I love that you get along
with your parents.

I mean... not that well with my mother.

We fight all the time.

But, actually, these days,

I'm connecting with her again a lot more.

You wanna swim?

Yes, come on! Let's go!

Don't you dare
move a muscle, Mari Carmen.

Oh, my God!

What are you doing here?

You know the ocean floor,
it's one of my favorite places.

- Yes.
- What are you doing here?

Well I earned this
at a competition, you know.

With my husband.

- And he didn't wanna come with you?
- No.

But I don't need anybody. I don't.

And I wouldn't miss this
for the world, of course.

So, here I am.

Now I'm staying
in a studio apartment at Tamarin.

And you live by yourself?

Yes. Why?

Nothing, it's just that...

I'm always amazed
by people who live by themselves.

- I've never lived by myself.
- Really?

I moved from my parents' house to live
with my girlfriend. I've never been alone.

Is there anyone waiting for you?

No.

I mean,

we broke up recently.

But it wasn't a big deal.

I'm not husband material.

This is spectacular.

You're lucky to live here all the time.

Well, it's not that great.

During the off season,
the island is empty.

And during the high season,

it's full of tourists
who just want to fuck you.

That sounds fucking awesome.

Yeah, I love it.

Guys can be a real pain in the ass.
I get that, you know.

You're not a pain.

Everybody lies so they can be with you.

They say they don't have a girlfriend,
they're not married,

they have an open relationship...

I don't give a shit about their lives!

If they want to have sex, let's have sex.

But why do men have that stupid habit
of hiding stuff?

No idea.

- No, lying is wrong.
- Right?

Hey, Sara.

Yeah?

And so... here we are.

You know something?
I really loved that cove.

With the little boat and the fish...
I liked all of it.

Let's do it again.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Oh, look...

There.

Is that your mom?

Who's that with her?

It's Armando, a guy she met here.

Hmm.

What did I say about lying tourists?

Yeah... What did you say? I can't remember.

Not all of them
take advantage of the guides.

Some others target rich women.

Yeah, right.

My mom looks like many things,
but absolutely not a rich lady.

Think about it.

A woman who's married to a younger man,

and who's staying
in the very best resort on Mauritius...

She's rich.

Anyway... You were saying?

Er...

Come on. Let's do something together.

Good evening.

Jean-Pierre, go with the couple, please.

- Good evening.
- Hi, good evening.

- Let me ask you something.
- Yes?

That man...

do you know him?

I can't say. You know?

Okay. But can you tell me if you've ever
seen him around? Is he a tourist?

No, I can't really say, you know?

Hmm.

So you want money?

Um...

What are you doing?

Is this a tip or a bribe?

Because, as tips go, it's not bad,

but as a bribe it's absolute bullshit,
you know?

A bribe for you.

That's nice. I love being bribed.

People don't bribe anymore.
The art of bribing is getting lost.

Some time ago, we hosted a big movie star,
whose name I can't say.

The thing is, she'd just broken up
with Brad Pitt,

so she came with an enormous pack of kids...

Do you think that lady
booked the VIP Suite?

No, she didn't.

She stayed at the Junior Suite
with all her kids packed in.

I felt so sorry for her.
I really wanted to tell her,

"Angelina, please, come on, do better."

But the name?

Angelina Jolie. There, I said it.

Me and my big mouth.

That man! Who is that man?

Oh, but I don't know who that man is!
I don't.

He's not a guest at the hotel.
I don't know who he is.

I didn't get to tell the part
where Angelina tried to bribe me.

I had no idea
what they were saying.

I can't get it
out of my head.

What are we doing?

Spying on my mother.

Come on. Let's go. This is pointless.
Some plant just pricked my ass.

- Really? With Photoshop?
- Yes. We can take pictures.

- Okay, but make me look...
- Hi. What's up?

Hello. How are you, my love?

I actually want to talk to you, Mom.

Mom?

Is he not your husband?

- No, well, it's funny...
- You haven't told him?

No, I'm her son.

Her husband is another man,
who's my father, who's back at home.

- You do remember who is who, right?
- Of course.

Would you excuse us?

Come here.

Yeah, okay. Excuse me.

Okay, what's going on?

This guy, he's a scammer, Mom.

This person's name is Armando.

And he's a gentleman...

whose only crime's been
extreme kindness to me since I got here.

That's more than you've done for me.

Okay, can't you see?

Tell me why this man
who's younger than you,

and looks like he's from
a shampoo commercial for silver foxes,

- would be into someone like you?
- Someone like me?

Geez, Mom, yeah. Do I really
have to spell it out?

I think you're mistaken.

Your mother and I are just friends.

See?

Come on, Armando.
I know you're not staying at the hotel.

Of course not. I'm a freelancer.

I can't afford it.

Are you keeping up
the "super cool photographer" crap?

No, it's not crap.

He's been taking
some wonderful pictures of me...

I can also take
wonderful pictures when I want to.

Congratulations.

Sara, could you tell her
I'm right about the guy being a scammer?

Yes, he's right.

See?

Okay, now listen. That's enough.

- Mom, you're so naive!
- I said that's enough!

I understand you perfectly.

You're all messed up
because you were dumped at the altar,

but you may not speak to me like that!

Got it?

Not anymore.

- Is that true?
- Sorry.

- It's weird.
- Weird?

How weird?

Tell the truth.
Were you dumped at the altar? Yes or no?

Yes.

Sara.

Yeah, yeah. Liar! 9

Can't you see why I'm doing this?
To protect you.

I don't need protecting.

- That's not what it looks like it.
- What does it look like?

Like you're cheating on Dad.

Eh...

I'm... I'm an adult.

You can't hit me.

I can't believe this.

Hold on. Honey, please, wait.

I'm really sorry about the slap before.

This is the first time
I've ever laid a hand on you in your life.

Look what you've done.

Do you really believe
you've been an awesome mom?

Do you know why I left home?

To be able to start
doing things by myself.

To make decisions without you!

Without you saying, "Very well son,

your opinions are great
but do what your mom tells you."

That's what you'd tell me!

- Me?
- How can you deny it?

Let me remind you, you still bring
your dirty clothes for me to wash.

Jesus. That's because you tell me to.

You never let me do anything by myself!

Do you remember the crazy shit
you told me when I was a kid?

"No, José Luis, my dear,
you can't go to summer camp

because there are tapeworms
in the mountains

that get into your body
and crawl out your ass."

"You can't go to Morocco
with your school, honey."

"You can't because you're stupid,
so they'll put drugs in your luggage."

I never even had a bike.

You said kids
that fall off bikes get paralyzed!

That was because you're very clumsy.

You are.

It's your fault
I'm scared to get on an inner tube.

Can't you see you put so much fear in me?

Huh?

You stuck your nose into everything.

I stuck my nose in everything?

You are so ungrateful.

Mom, you're on my honeymoon.
Look how deep...

Oh, this is my fault too?

Is this my fault as well?

Everything's my fault, right?
Everything's my fault!

My fault, and poor Teresa's!

"Poor Teresa"?

Yesterday she was a bitch,
and you had it all figured out.

Have you ever wondered
why they all left you?

No. You tell me.
I see you have a theory. Let's see.

It's because you don't want a girlfriend!

You just want a mother.

Are you out of your mind?

They all grow tired of you.

They're not willing to endure
as much as I have to.

Don't play the victim.

I wait on you hand and foot.

And what do I get?

What do I have to give you?

Precisely! You give me nothing. Nothing.

- You give it to any other girl.
- What?

You don't fall
for the first girl you meet?

- Of course not.
- Sara, Teresa, Inés...

- The girl from Canary Islands.
- Yaiza?

She made college a misery.

Yaiza was nice. She didn't do that.

Of course she did.
She dumped you like the others.

No, she didn't. It was our decision.

God, you are so stupid.

You're always go
from girlfriend to girlfriend

because you're a chicken shit
who's afraid to be alone.

And that's your problem.

Yeah, and you're perfect?

You've never been wrong?

Don't get me started, please.

No, not me. You've talked enough.

You've talked.

I just wanted to have some fun with you.

Do you know what that feels like?

Because I don't.

Not since I took off my wedding veil.

And if I meet someone who makes me feel
that my life is more than taking care

of a husband who ignores me

and a child who doesn't respect me,

I don't even need to sleep with him.

ÁNGEL
INCOMING CALL

Hi.

Oh, hi.

May I?

Sure. Come on in, yeah.

Um, I'm...

I'm almost done packing.

Why did you tell me he was your husband?

So that you'd know I was married.

And so if I knew,

there couldn't be anything between us.
Could there?

Or so I figured.

Are you leaving now?

- No, tomorrow.
- Oh.

So, this is your last night in paradise.

You can spend it locked in this room,

or you can have
your last daiquiri with me.

All right.

Give me just a minute.

- Hm, yeah, sure.
- Great.

Oh, you.

- You look great.
- Stunning.

- Shall we?
- Yeah.

What time are you leaving?

Attention.

The last call for the Matasa wedding.

Matasa wedding...

will be beginning in a moment.

All folks to the pier.

The last opportunity

for love.

Thank you.

- Good morning.
- Hi.

That's the best adventure. Really.

Sara.

I'm here to tell you
I'm sorry that I lied to you.

I'm the one to blame.

For getting involved
with another lying tourist.

No, you were right.

Even though it's too late,
I want to tell you the truth.

One, this is my honeymoon.

And two, yes, I was dumped.

What happened?

What?

I'm not gonna tell you.

- I want you to tell me.
- No, I'm not going to.

What do you want me to tell you?

Yes, we were at the altar together,
about to say, "I do."

All of a sudden came a car crashing into
a big decoration that said "Love."

I thought it was cheesy, but she liked it.

And out of the car
came a really good looking guy.

He said something to Teresa.

Then she ran off, jumped into his arms,
and kissed in front of my fucking face,

right between the guest benches.

Oh, I'm sorry, but...

I was standing like a dipshit
wearing the blue vest she'd chosen for me.

You don't want to marry me?
Okay, I'll get over it.

But don't do that to me, you asshole!

You know the worst part for me?

I knew our relationship
wasn't going anywhere.

But that day, just for a moment,

I believed it.

I believed things
could work with Teresa.

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you
because it's the most pathetic thing ever.

You don't tell that to a girl you like.

Well it doesn't matter now.
You're leaving tomorrow.

What if I stay?

- But you just met me.
- So what?

- That's weird.
- We like each other.

We get along well. We laugh all the time.

What's waiting for me back at home?
Nothing.

Holy shit!

I'd rather just stay here
with you now. Right?

I see things so clearly right now.

So?

You've just been dumped at the altar.

You can't see anything clearly.

It's not normal wanting to stay
after just a few days together?

No.

So, my mother's right, then.

I can't be by myself.

I just can't be alone.

Know what I think?

What?

What you're saying is great.

But you're saying it to the wrong girl.

Go and tell that to your mom!

Yeah, I got that.

Goodbye.

Hey! Good luck!

Hey, Mom!

Dad, it's me. I'm looking for Mom.

Son, do you know where
she keeps the turpentine?

What? How should I know?

Are you seriously calling her for that?

No. It's just
I'm retouching your painting.

It's looking great, you know.

But I can't quite erase
Teresa's eyebrows completely.

It's not my fault.
She was always very hairy.

Leave Teresa's eyebrows alone.
Listen to me.

Something's going on with Mom.

- She told me you cheated her.
- Me?

Do you know how long it's been since I...?

Oh...

I'm not talking about that. Hear me out.

She said that, at first,
before you got married...

you were funny. You had a good time.

You made plans, you laughed together.

Then suddenly you changed.

- Oh, right, yeah.
- Yeah, what?

Of course I tricked her.
I'm not a very fun guy.

I did all that to win her heart,
like everyone else.

How can you be admitting that?

That's a load of bullshit. Can't you see?

It's... That's just life.

But don't think it's all a party
with your mother.

- Your mother's boring.
- She's not boring.

That's what I thought, but she's not.

Mom...

Mom's really cool.

She's very funny. I'm serious.

She's basically become the boss here.
Everybody likes her.

It's actually quite simple.

She just wants to have fun.

And she says she's bored with you.

You're gonna have to up your game.

If you don't, I think she'll leave you.

Did she say that?

No, she doesn't have to.

Right.

Okay. Goodbye, Dad.

Ms. Montse. It's an emergency.

- What's the matter?
- Have you seen my lady?

- What lady? Your wife?
- Yeah.

Yes. She came this way.
She was heading to our private island.

What private island?

Silly boy.
She was going to the Matasa wedding.

She passed by, dressed in white,
with other couples.

♪ Many time I tried to tell you ♪

♪ Many times I cried alone ♪

Was she alone, or...?

No, she was with someone.

There's some weird stuff going on
between you two.

You're with that other woman,
she's with another man.

I may have to kick you out
of the Honeymoon Suite, huh?

Jean-Pierre, look at Montse!

Montse?

Whoa. Hey! Don't you even try it!

♪ We belong to the light ♪

- Sorry about that!
- Hey! Hey!

Watch out!

♪ We belong to the sound of the words ♪

♪ We've both fallen under ♪

Out! Out! Out!

Asshole!

Love is the engine
that moves us in life.

♪ We belong together ♪

An everlasting engine

that makes sense of everything.

That's why it is very important

to tell someone you love them.

So say it more
and leave everything behind.

Because something new starts here and now.

Dear couple,

do you want to get married

by the Matasa ritual

and unite your lives forever?

Stop! Hey!

Mom!

No! Don't!

What are you doing? Don't!

Stop the wedding!

- Don't!
- What is he doing?

Mom!

You can't do it!

Stop this thing!

Hey!

Hey, Mom, don't!

- Don't do it!
- Oh, boy...

Hello.

Mari Carmen, what's going on?

Mom, I don't know
what's going on, but just don't.

I know Dad's a disappointment
and I'm a lame son,

but this is not the solution.

I just... don't think you should
marry him.

I'm not getting married.

- You're not?
- We're the witnesses!

- Oh, boy.
- I'm sorry.

Gudrun, Bibi, sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

Did you really think
I was getting married?

Do you think I'm such an idiot?

Sorry, Bibi, Gud...

People.

No, I know you're not an idiot.

And you have lots of reasons
to dump us and leave with another guy.

So I was thinking...

that this man right here, Armando,

he treats you right.

He listens. You have fun.
His hair is great...

- And he's a criminal too.
- A what?

What you heard.

I beg your pardon.

I found out the day

I called from the police station
and was told you didn't stay at the hotel.

Of course. I stay at a youth hostel...

A hostel which I also called, and
they're looking for you for nonpayment.

Then I called the consulate,

I gave them your data,

and you're a wanted man
in three countries.

Darling, I went along with your game
because I was having a great time.

But now time's up.

Why would I be a wanted man?

Oh, come on.

For smuggling drugs in tourists' luggage?

Madame Montse!

Yeah, I can see it.

Calvin, what's going on?

I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about.

Call your partner
at Madrid airport.

Madame Montse,
he transports drugs in luggage.

- Excuse me.
- I don't have a partner!

Call police, please.

Hey, give me that!

- Let her go!
- What're you doing?

Stay away from my son!

Are you okay? Huh?

- Yeah.
- Okay, honey?

Excuse me.
Did you just say that he was your son?

Montse... Oh, hi.

So you're not married, or what?

Have you been deceiving me?

Well, see, the thing is...

The room was so good.

- I told you it was only for new couples.
- The bed was so...

No, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

We're not married... That's right.

But no suite is big enough
to give her what she deserves.

And I want to thank her.

She's always been by my side
and I took it for granted.

I never saw her as a woman,
just as my mother.

And that's it.

I never asked her if she's okay.

What she wants.

If she's happy or sad.
I don't know. I never asked her.

It was only a few days ago,

that I found out
what things she liked, or didn't.

But she stands by my side.

And I know she always will.

No, she's not my wife.

She's the love of my life.

He is nice!

Excuse me. Excuse me. Hey!

Hey, you, handsome.

Right here. Stand right here, please.

I just called the police.
They're waiting at the hotel. What?

Huh?

- That's an option.
- Yes.

There's another one...

You,

me...

a daiquiri.

We take that boat
over there and we leave. Right?

- That boat?
- Yes.

Oh, no.

Take your boat and fuck off!

I already have one freeloader
back in Cornellà,

no need for two!

Calvin! Come here a moment.
Can you get Jean-Pierre?

Jean-Pierre, accompany this man

directly to the hotel.
And don't lose him. All right?

He's a weirdo.

- Careful.
- You don't know what you're missing.

Yes, I actually do know what I'm missing.
You're damn right I know

and I'm not gonna fall
for that shit again!

Well...

- Okay.
- Here we are.

- Here we are.
- That's right.

My...

Oh god, the hotel was great,
but there's nothing like my own bed.

- Bienvenue.
- What's gotten into him now?

WELCOME MARI CARMEN

Darling, we're back.

- Here.
- What a surprise.

They're so lovely. Thank you very much.

- And...
- What's that?

Two tickets to Paris.

We're leaving in an hour. If you want to.

Oh, my...

- Did you have a stroke or something?
- No...

I thought you missed the fun we had
before we got married?

Can you believe the ideas your father has?

Paris?

Huh?

You know I've always wanted
to go to Paris, you little sneak.

- I'd love to see the Eiffel Tower.
- Right.

And, you know,
to stuff my face with foie gras.

- Yeah!
- The Mona Lisa, it's the dream of my life.

I thought seeing the ocean floor
was the dream of your life.

- But I've seen that already.
- Right.

Two tickets to the Louvre.

Go! Hurry! Grab your luggage.

We're going to Paris!

That's not your father.
I can't believe it!

It's crazy. Man...

Well...

Will you be all right by yourself?

I don't know. I've never done it before.

But I think I will be.

Will you be all right with company?

I don't know. I've never done it before.

But I think I will be.

Thank you, Mom.

Put them in water with an aspirin.
I'll get them when we come back.

Okay.

I love you.

Me too.

Bye bye.

Au revoir, my son!

Sweetie,
did you make it home?

Your fridge must be empty.

Drop by our house. Our fridge
is full of sirloins with foie gras.

Kisses! Love you!
