Ana (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Episode #3.6 - full transcript
PRESENTS
One of these days,
I'm coming out.
I'm not getting any gigs,
my savings are running out,
and I'm going to be 40!
What the hell am I going to do?
Being your daughter has been the
most exhausting role of my life.
I'm tired of always having
to do things right.
One of these days,
I'm going to leave.
I want to be Morticia!
Not Mortadela!
All of you go to hell!
I know what I want.
I want you.
One of these days,
I will grow up.
It's about a woman
in her forties who's...
Who's lost again.
Who's 40 years old,
but feels like a teenager.
I want to be able to create,
to invent my own path.
I'll reach the stars
and never come back.
-Where is it?
-It's this one.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Honey, you're going to be
carnival queen!
Goddamn it!
SOVEREIGN
How can you not remember Lety?
My niece's cousin,
the one that would eat
her boogers at the table!
Her mom would give you candy
that popped in your mouth.
COUSIN LETY
I don't remember. I don't know
who you're talking about, Mom.
Well, she works as a receptionist
at this hotel
and she was so happy to see me.
-Mom...
-That's why I'm here.
Right, look, I don't understand
where you're going with this.
What carnival?
What's this man doing here?
He's a bigshot at BancoMex.
Listen, I'm going to get myself
a beer downstairs...
Don't go!
Yeah, I'll wait for you
so we can grab lunch.
I'll be right there,
it'll be quick.
-Excuse me.
-Yes, go on.
It's very easy, honey. They want
you to be carnival queen.
I know you'd normally
not consider it
because of all
your engagements,
but BancoMex bank
is sponsoring it.
And if you say yes...
Right, Mom, but I'm very busy.
I don't have the time.
Honey, you haven't heard
the best part yet.
Just a moment, please.
Excuse me.
Mom, I thought
the people picked the queen.
You told me your whole life
that you'd go door-to-door
with a donations box,
collecting funds so you could
be elected queen.
Yes, honey,
but those were other times.
Now the wealthiest family wins.
That's why you couldn't follow
in my footsteps and compete
because you were too short
to be Miss Veracruz
and you couldn't be
carnival queen
because of the crisis in 1994,
when we lost everything.
But now,
since the bank is sponsoring it,
they want
someone famous like you.
That's why I couldn't go
to your play.
Because I had
to organize all this.
But I still don't understand.
Listen, as 'payment'
for being carnival queen,
they'll give us back the house.
It's perfect!
I'm sure you can take some time
to be at this event.
Honey? Please.
Anabelichi?
1 HOUR AND
3 "VOLOVANS" LATER
THE HOUSE NENA LOST
I lost the house.
Fun fact:
In that house,
I had my first erotic dream
about Rob Lowe.
-Wow! I think that's...
-I told you!
the best I ever tried.
Right? It's delicious.
You know what?
You were right about everything
you said about Veracruz.
Of course.
Or maybe love makes
everything seem better
when I'm with you.
Same!
The sea is clearer,
the sun is brighter,
those palm trees are waving
at me, like, "Hey, girlfriend!"
Those prawns even
if they're dead,
they still seem to be smiling.
It's delicious,
I love being here.
So, do you already know
how you're going to tell your mom
you won't be carnival queen?
I thought maybe it wouldn't
be such a bad idea, you know?
We can stay in Veracruz
a few more days
and I can bring you here
for lunch every day.
And what about
the network show
and all that?
Did your agent call back yet?
My agent?
No, I just asked them
to give me some time.
I thought you wanted
to feel inspired,
focus on your work,
write,
and see the state with me.
We'll do that.
A couple of days of work
isn't such a big deal.
And I can get the house back.
I think it's worth it.
Plus, my mom gets her wish
to see me as queen.
Ana, when are you going to stop
fulfilling everyone's dreams
except yourself?
I think it would make her
really happy.
It's your call.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning, buddies.
Nice!
Love it.
Hey.
Don't answer it.
Okay, fine.
Hello?
-Put Ana on.
-Sure.
I'll put her on.
Fuck.
What's up?
Honey, what's going on?
I'm waiting for you.
I said the press conference
was at 12:00
and I don't
want to arrive alone.
What? You didn't say anything
about a press conference.
I said it was at midday!
And please hurry up,
it's a big event!
Whoa!
I know.
I'm so excited, honey!
Do you want me to sign
some pictures for your fans?
-Well, honey?
-Yes, yes.
You said yes?
Why am I so addicted to...?
Ana, you're doing
the carnival thing?
It's just that...
The carnival idea
isn't so bad.
And I love carnival groups,
it's super queer.
We'll have a good time.
It's one thing to like carnival
and another
to be carnival queen.
But I think it'll be fun.
There'll be
a lot of jarana players.
You'll love it, really.
I'll get ready real quick
and we'll go to the island.
It won't take up
too much time.
I don't get this.
But, you know what?
I'd rather not argue.
Because I don't think
there's any time for that.
Okay?
Yeah...
I wanted morning grind.
-Don't forget your sunscreen.
-Just two conditions, okay?
I don't want you to interfere
in any of my choices
as queen.
And secondly,
the most important thing,
is that I want you to respect
my relationship with Papasito.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'm not kidding.
I'm serious.
Done deal.
Charles taught me to say that.
Too bad you didn't bring him.
I would have liked to, but...
It's about to start, honey!
The Xalapa Room
press conference.
Do you think she'll notice
that I'm here?
You'll have a good time.
Carnival in Veracruz
is just wild,
but it's a very symbolic
tradition
and for some people,
it's their life.
Look how pretty they look.
-Papasito!
-Yeah, it's Papasito.
-Why are they wearing crowns?
-Because they're queens.
The first event
is the burning of bad vibes.
They make a sculpture
that's going
to symbolically represent
all the bad aspects...
Patience, prudence,
verbal contingency.
in the country or Veracruz.
Look.
The classic marching band.
The child kings!
-Awesome!
-They're child kings.
They're the 14th troupe.
Hi.
Our first trans queen.
Gorgeous!
And they're all
ex-carnival queens.
Including, of course,
my mother.
We're pleased
to officially present
the next carnival queen
who I'm sure you already know,
since Veracruz is where she
was born and raised, and where
she matured.
Like the kids say,
hashtag: VeracruzAnaPride!
Hashtag: AnaTheFirst.
Now remember everything
your mom taught you.
Thank you very much.
I want to thank the carnival
committee for the invitation.
I also want to thank
the municipality
and especially BancoMex,
the carnival sponsor.
Well, before Ana the First
tells us about her reign,
I'll let the Mayor here
tell us about the events
ahead of the Juan Carnival
celebrations!
-Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
-I said that already.
But I'm here too,
so I'm saying hello again.
First of all,
I want to congratulate Ana
for representing our state
with such dignity.
She's our next sovereign.
Sovereign Ana.
Our celebrations start tomorrow,
with Martinillo The Jaranero...
Jaranas!
at a massive concert.
Followed by our traditional
Sunday baseball match
of single ladies
versus married ladies!
At six o'clock in the morning...
Six o'clock in the morning?
the agenda continues
with the child kings parade,
and a visit to the prison...
The annual dance
of the Spanish casino...
Followed by
a second mass concert.
The obligatory visit
to the Red Cross...
The crowning of the queen...
The parades
with majestic floats...
Dance troupes and baton-twirlers
with attractive...
And the food festival,
where we also hope
to see you, Ana.
Right.
The parades will have
free Wi-Fi
but, above all, a safe
and family-friendly environment.
Bravo, bravo!
Thank you very much,
and long live Ana the First!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Thank you, dear Mayor.
Are you done?
Yes, yes.
Any questions from our friends
in the press? Young man.
This is a question
for Ana and Nena.
What does it feel like to be
the first mother and daughter
to be carnival queens?
I'm happy.
This will remain
in the memory of generations
of this wonderful state
that has given us so much.
Anita, congratulations.
Do you already have
a new beau?
You didn't scare them away
with that huge scandal?
I mean the media scandal,
not the confessional.
Sorry for the joke, Ana,
you know what we're like
in Veracruz,
we love you
and want you to be happy.
Do you have a beau or not?
Uh...
Ana is very single.
Her heart belongs only
to her hometown, Veracruz.
Ana, anything you want to say?
Uh...
Yes, my heart
belongs here,
in Veracruz.
Ana, why did you decide to follow
in your mother's footsteps?
I have to go, we'll tell you
more about my reign later.
There's a lot to do.
Honey, honey!
You look lovely!
Let her pass through!
-Excuse me!
-Let her pass through!
Ana, I don't want
to talk right now.
I need time to think.
Please, listen, I had no idea
this would happen.
I was totally unprepared.
You had no idea? You explained
everything before we left.
Believe me, I left Veracruz
20 years ago.
I thought it would be
a matter of three days.
Where are you going?
No, Papasito, listen.
When are you going to do
what you want to do?
I'm sorry, the press
put me on the spot.
I had no idea what would happen
or what they would say to you.
I didn't want to put you
in that situation.
-That's not the issue, Ana.
-I didn't want the press
to go crazy
and make a circus out of it.
You're the one that's making
a circus out of your life!
Don't try to lay blame
where it isn't deserved.
This isn't even
your mother's fault.
She's just doing
what she likes to do.
When are you going to do
what you like?
Please! Don't get mad.
Listen, I swear
all I want
is to tell everyone.
I want to shout it out loud,
I don't want to deny you.
You did something
much worse than denying me.
You denied yourself.
But... No, wait.
-Don't be mad.
-Stop.
Okay.
One last master plan
to get out of this, I promise.
This year's theme will be
iconic cities around the world.
Between you and me,
your mom gave us the idea.
But it's wonderful, just like
her, with all due respect.
And just in case,
this is the first time
we've built a float
with a bathroom in it
for your convenience.
I'd like to break
with tradition this time.
I'd love it if I didn't have
to be on a float.
I'd like to be in a troupe.
Honey, the humidity
is going to melt your make-up
and your heels
are going to be killing you!
-Your mom's right.
-It's my dream.
Okay, fine.
Let me discuss it
with the committee.
We also have to choose
the singer for your crowning.
-Okay.
-Mijares is always the favorite
-and Yuri very generously...
-Yuri.
I love Yuri, but I'd like
to give a rising artist
the opportunity.
-But...
-What?
Let me ask the committee.
The problem is the money,
the tickets sold.
Not just anyone
is going to sell tickets
like Mijares or Yuri
or other singers
as famous as they are.
Right.
We have to measure your head
for the crown, it's hand-made
and it takes time.
-Sure, perfect.
-Go on.
Hey, sis, we're waiting for you
at Los Portales.
My cousin told me about it and
I came over from Mexico city
with dad.
We couldn't miss the carnival.
How are things?
Good?
You have a big head, you know?
To the celebration!
Just imagine it.
Where's Papasito?
Yeah, I'll see.
I remember
how mad your grandma
would get at your mom
because she didn't like Guty.
Because he was a bohemian.
-I didn't know about that, Dad.
-Yeah.
She was right.
But you wouldn't have been born.
So I made the best decision.
He's late, isn't he?
I'm finishing my drink.
I'll check.
What's up? We're finishing lunch
and everyone's asking about you.
Call me.
Villa del Mar Hotel,
good afternoon.
-Hi, Room 505, please.
-Ana?
This is Lety, your mom's
niece's cousin,
the one who'd pick her nose
at the table, remember?
COUSIN LETY
THE REAL COUSIN LETY
Fuck! That cousin Lety!
Of course, Lety, I'm sorry,
I'm in a bit of a rush.
-I'm looking for...
-Your boyfriend?
Yes.
I just saw him walk out
with a suitcase.
Okay, thanks.
Who's your friend?
She's my sister!
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
Tell him your ex-husband
is here too.
Shut the fuck up!
-I miss you.
-No! Bye, Charles!
Sing, sweetheart!
Excuse me.
I have to go to the airport.
Something made Papasito mad
and I can't leave him like that.
Sorry.
I've got a car, honey.
I can take you there if you like.
-Yes, please.
-You can't leave the carnival!
Mom, you go to the rehearsal
with the dance troupes.
-I'll be waiting.
-Thanks.
Play another one
for my daughter-in-law.
GUTY'S CAR
12 MPH
Dad, could you go
faster, please?
Honey, this is the speed limit.
Remember.
Better to lose a minute in life
than your life in a minute.
In all the romantic comedies
that end in an airport,
they always make it.
Don't worry, trust me.
But this is
a coming-of-age film.
This is a biopic.
Finally!
Thanks, Dad!
Fuck!
The flight to Mexico City?
The flight to Mexico City...
Do you know where it is?
Fuck!
Sis!
Didn't you guys come driving?
I'm an idiot! An idiot!
I fucked up, I fucked up.
I know where he might be!
Papasito!
-Ana.
-Papasito.
I thought you had left.
No, I just said
I needed to think a bit.
Just because I don't agree
with your decision
doesn't mean I'm going
to stop loving you.
I don't know what it means
to find 'the love of your life',
but this is as
close as it gets.
Look, let me introduce you
to some friends.
Son, father and uncle.
Ani-cookie.
Ani-cookie!
-Ani-cookie!
-No!
How are you, babe? They gave
me the keys to the city.
I'm the Mayor.
Yeah, I'm not going
to be carnival queen after all,
but I think she'll do
a much better job.
Ana!
No, I wanted to celebrate!
Honey, I've been calling you
to say that
my future son-in-law is here.
-Mom...
-Look.
This was my original crown.
It was a surprise,
but since you don't want
my opinion on anything,
I didn't know
if you'd want to wear it.
It's so pretty.
They don't make them
like they used to.
Or the queens, Mom.
I'll never be as pretty
and beloved a queen
as you were.
What about the house?
Aren't we getting it back?
You have to let go.
Let in the new.
We don't need
to cling to the past.
No.
You ended up becoming
a romantic.
Is it because of Papasito?
I'm not choosing him,
or you, or the house.
I'm choosing me.
You should do the same.
There's a new life waiting for
you in Los Angeles, with Charles.
Even if it scares you.
It scares me too.
In the end,
I do miss
having her in my head,
giving me the best
and the worst advice.
I love you.
And you
are the queen of this land.
I am?
Let me introduce
you to my family.
This is Ali, my sister,
the person I admire most,
who gave me the confidence
to write this story.
I love you, sis.
Thanks for the music.
This is my dad, Guty,
the sweetest man ever, he
knows how to enjoy life haste
and I hope
I can do the same sometime.
I adore you, Dad.
This is my mom,
the sovereign,
as her dad would call her.
The famous Nena de la Reguera,
who was born to be the queen
of my heart and of many others
who know the real her.
Veracruz,
I hope this story shows
my love for you,
for your flavors,
your sounds, your colors.
It's my love letter to
the place that gave me so much.
So, how about this?
-I like it!
-Yeah?
I love it!
Anita!
-Can I get a picture?
-Sure.
-I'll take it for you.
-Yeah.
Great, let's see.
I saw the news that you dumped
the carnival!
WE HAVE NO QUEEN!
SHE WOULDN'T GET UP AT 6 AM.
The press is having
a field day.
I know,
but I'm a little old for that,
for the dance troupes
and parades.
-Well, thanks.
-You're welcome.
-See you.
-See you.
Take care.
I have a farm.
I live with a bunch of chickens.
Just remember you can
make it in Hollywood
even without being in Hollywood.
Think about it.
HOUSE FOR SALE
This is a sign
for me to settle down.
I don't know for how long,
but I know I want to be here.
Just be.
Nice.
What?
What do you mean
unavailable?
I decided to stay here
for a while and write.
-¿Are you sure?
-Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
-Okay, call me when you're ready.
-Of course.
-Bye.
-Thank you.
I just said no to Hollywood.
Wow.
Respect.
You won't regret it.
And you know what I love
about Veracruz?
The humidity
makes cereal fluffy
in like five minutes.
This is like
heaven for me.
Okay.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks
because I really need
to see Squirrel.
I know.
Will you bring her next time?
I hope so, it could be cool.
-I'll miss you.
-Me too.
Have a good trip.
Bye.
One of these days
I'm coming out
One of these days
I'm going to leave
ANA,
YOU HAVE TO GET LOST,
TO FIND YOURSELF.
CHAPTER 1
Everything you do remains,
but what remains
can also change
and help you grow.
Grow.
What a powerful word.
Don't you think?
I love you all.
Ana.
Every morning
I look out the window
I look in the mirror
And I'm full of gray hairs
Cupid is gone
He is tired
I guess in terms of love
I'm a veteran
Veracruz-born,
I live in L.A.
But I'm Mexican
Veracruz-born
I'm not perfect
I'm just human
LOVE, ANA.
TO MY REAL FAMILY
Okay, Mom, we're going to watch
the last episode
of the whole season of Ana.
My niece's cousin, the one who'd
eat her boogers at the table.
Honey, I don't know why
you have such a bad memory.
I left 20 years ago.
No, honey,
you have to remember.
Yes, Your Majesty.
That's what
you call me sometimes, right?
Before arriving anywhere...
-I start telling you.
-"You have to behave like this."
But you don't behave.
"You have to behave like that."
"You have to do this or that."
And it bothers me, because
you treat me like a little girl
-that misbehaves.
-You do misbehave.
It's like when I go
to the doctor with you.
"Don't talk to the doctor,
he doesn't want to talk.
Don't talk to him.
Be quiet."
You want me to be quiet
and I can't be quiet.
-So I was right.
-Yeah.
I remember
how mad your grandma
would get at your mom
because she didn't like Guty.
Because he was a bohemian.
Well? Is that true?
What?
That they didn't like your dad
because he was a bohemian?
They weren't crazy about him.
That's true.
They didn't like him so much.
Let's drop it there.
I was very glad
to get the call that day.
-Right.
-But...
I think I told you.
I'm not sure you know,
but I stole the crown.
-No!
-Really. I stole the crown.
Thank you.
The only problem now
is you can't be carnival queen.
Thanks for watching
this episode with me.
-You're the pretti...
-est.
-The cut...
-est.
-The filthi...
-No!
Yes.
-I didn't shower today.
-You're a dirty pig.
But it looks like I showered.
Bye! Say goodbye!
One of these days,
I'm coming out.
I'm not getting any gigs,
my savings are running out,
and I'm going to be 40!
What the hell am I going to do?
Being your daughter has been the
most exhausting role of my life.
I'm tired of always having
to do things right.
One of these days,
I'm going to leave.
I want to be Morticia!
Not Mortadela!
All of you go to hell!
I know what I want.
I want you.
One of these days,
I will grow up.
It's about a woman
in her forties who's...
Who's lost again.
Who's 40 years old,
but feels like a teenager.
I want to be able to create,
to invent my own path.
I'll reach the stars
and never come back.
-Where is it?
-It's this one.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Honey, you're going to be
carnival queen!
Goddamn it!
SOVEREIGN
How can you not remember Lety?
My niece's cousin,
the one that would eat
her boogers at the table!
Her mom would give you candy
that popped in your mouth.
COUSIN LETY
I don't remember. I don't know
who you're talking about, Mom.
Well, she works as a receptionist
at this hotel
and she was so happy to see me.
-Mom...
-That's why I'm here.
Right, look, I don't understand
where you're going with this.
What carnival?
What's this man doing here?
He's a bigshot at BancoMex.
Listen, I'm going to get myself
a beer downstairs...
Don't go!
Yeah, I'll wait for you
so we can grab lunch.
I'll be right there,
it'll be quick.
-Excuse me.
-Yes, go on.
It's very easy, honey. They want
you to be carnival queen.
I know you'd normally
not consider it
because of all
your engagements,
but BancoMex bank
is sponsoring it.
And if you say yes...
Right, Mom, but I'm very busy.
I don't have the time.
Honey, you haven't heard
the best part yet.
Just a moment, please.
Excuse me.
Mom, I thought
the people picked the queen.
You told me your whole life
that you'd go door-to-door
with a donations box,
collecting funds so you could
be elected queen.
Yes, honey,
but those were other times.
Now the wealthiest family wins.
That's why you couldn't follow
in my footsteps and compete
because you were too short
to be Miss Veracruz
and you couldn't be
carnival queen
because of the crisis in 1994,
when we lost everything.
But now,
since the bank is sponsoring it,
they want
someone famous like you.
That's why I couldn't go
to your play.
Because I had
to organize all this.
But I still don't understand.
Listen, as 'payment'
for being carnival queen,
they'll give us back the house.
It's perfect!
I'm sure you can take some time
to be at this event.
Honey? Please.
Anabelichi?
1 HOUR AND
3 "VOLOVANS" LATER
THE HOUSE NENA LOST
I lost the house.
Fun fact:
In that house,
I had my first erotic dream
about Rob Lowe.
-Wow! I think that's...
-I told you!
the best I ever tried.
Right? It's delicious.
You know what?
You were right about everything
you said about Veracruz.
Of course.
Or maybe love makes
everything seem better
when I'm with you.
Same!
The sea is clearer,
the sun is brighter,
those palm trees are waving
at me, like, "Hey, girlfriend!"
Those prawns even
if they're dead,
they still seem to be smiling.
It's delicious,
I love being here.
So, do you already know
how you're going to tell your mom
you won't be carnival queen?
I thought maybe it wouldn't
be such a bad idea, you know?
We can stay in Veracruz
a few more days
and I can bring you here
for lunch every day.
And what about
the network show
and all that?
Did your agent call back yet?
My agent?
No, I just asked them
to give me some time.
I thought you wanted
to feel inspired,
focus on your work,
write,
and see the state with me.
We'll do that.
A couple of days of work
isn't such a big deal.
And I can get the house back.
I think it's worth it.
Plus, my mom gets her wish
to see me as queen.
Ana, when are you going to stop
fulfilling everyone's dreams
except yourself?
I think it would make her
really happy.
It's your call.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning, buddies.
Nice!
Love it.
Hey.
Don't answer it.
Okay, fine.
Hello?
-Put Ana on.
-Sure.
I'll put her on.
Fuck.
What's up?
Honey, what's going on?
I'm waiting for you.
I said the press conference
was at 12:00
and I don't
want to arrive alone.
What? You didn't say anything
about a press conference.
I said it was at midday!
And please hurry up,
it's a big event!
Whoa!
I know.
I'm so excited, honey!
Do you want me to sign
some pictures for your fans?
-Well, honey?
-Yes, yes.
You said yes?
Why am I so addicted to...?
Ana, you're doing
the carnival thing?
It's just that...
The carnival idea
isn't so bad.
And I love carnival groups,
it's super queer.
We'll have a good time.
It's one thing to like carnival
and another
to be carnival queen.
But I think it'll be fun.
There'll be
a lot of jarana players.
You'll love it, really.
I'll get ready real quick
and we'll go to the island.
It won't take up
too much time.
I don't get this.
But, you know what?
I'd rather not argue.
Because I don't think
there's any time for that.
Okay?
Yeah...
I wanted morning grind.
-Don't forget your sunscreen.
-Just two conditions, okay?
I don't want you to interfere
in any of my choices
as queen.
And secondly,
the most important thing,
is that I want you to respect
my relationship with Papasito.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'm not kidding.
I'm serious.
Done deal.
Charles taught me to say that.
Too bad you didn't bring him.
I would have liked to, but...
It's about to start, honey!
The Xalapa Room
press conference.
Do you think she'll notice
that I'm here?
You'll have a good time.
Carnival in Veracruz
is just wild,
but it's a very symbolic
tradition
and for some people,
it's their life.
Look how pretty they look.
-Papasito!
-Yeah, it's Papasito.
-Why are they wearing crowns?
-Because they're queens.
The first event
is the burning of bad vibes.
They make a sculpture
that's going
to symbolically represent
all the bad aspects...
Patience, prudence,
verbal contingency.
in the country or Veracruz.
Look.
The classic marching band.
The child kings!
-Awesome!
-They're child kings.
They're the 14th troupe.
Hi.
Our first trans queen.
Gorgeous!
And they're all
ex-carnival queens.
Including, of course,
my mother.
We're pleased
to officially present
the next carnival queen
who I'm sure you already know,
since Veracruz is where she
was born and raised, and where
she matured.
Like the kids say,
hashtag: VeracruzAnaPride!
Hashtag: AnaTheFirst.
Now remember everything
your mom taught you.
Thank you very much.
I want to thank the carnival
committee for the invitation.
I also want to thank
the municipality
and especially BancoMex,
the carnival sponsor.
Well, before Ana the First
tells us about her reign,
I'll let the Mayor here
tell us about the events
ahead of the Juan Carnival
celebrations!
-Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
-I said that already.
But I'm here too,
so I'm saying hello again.
First of all,
I want to congratulate Ana
for representing our state
with such dignity.
She's our next sovereign.
Sovereign Ana.
Our celebrations start tomorrow,
with Martinillo The Jaranero...
Jaranas!
at a massive concert.
Followed by our traditional
Sunday baseball match
of single ladies
versus married ladies!
At six o'clock in the morning...
Six o'clock in the morning?
the agenda continues
with the child kings parade,
and a visit to the prison...
The annual dance
of the Spanish casino...
Followed by
a second mass concert.
The obligatory visit
to the Red Cross...
The crowning of the queen...
The parades
with majestic floats...
Dance troupes and baton-twirlers
with attractive...
And the food festival,
where we also hope
to see you, Ana.
Right.
The parades will have
free Wi-Fi
but, above all, a safe
and family-friendly environment.
Bravo, bravo!
Thank you very much,
and long live Ana the First!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Thank you, dear Mayor.
Are you done?
Yes, yes.
Any questions from our friends
in the press? Young man.
This is a question
for Ana and Nena.
What does it feel like to be
the first mother and daughter
to be carnival queens?
I'm happy.
This will remain
in the memory of generations
of this wonderful state
that has given us so much.
Anita, congratulations.
Do you already have
a new beau?
You didn't scare them away
with that huge scandal?
I mean the media scandal,
not the confessional.
Sorry for the joke, Ana,
you know what we're like
in Veracruz,
we love you
and want you to be happy.
Do you have a beau or not?
Uh...
Ana is very single.
Her heart belongs only
to her hometown, Veracruz.
Ana, anything you want to say?
Uh...
Yes, my heart
belongs here,
in Veracruz.
Ana, why did you decide to follow
in your mother's footsteps?
I have to go, we'll tell you
more about my reign later.
There's a lot to do.
Honey, honey!
You look lovely!
Let her pass through!
-Excuse me!
-Let her pass through!
Ana, I don't want
to talk right now.
I need time to think.
Please, listen, I had no idea
this would happen.
I was totally unprepared.
You had no idea? You explained
everything before we left.
Believe me, I left Veracruz
20 years ago.
I thought it would be
a matter of three days.
Where are you going?
No, Papasito, listen.
When are you going to do
what you want to do?
I'm sorry, the press
put me on the spot.
I had no idea what would happen
or what they would say to you.
I didn't want to put you
in that situation.
-That's not the issue, Ana.
-I didn't want the press
to go crazy
and make a circus out of it.
You're the one that's making
a circus out of your life!
Don't try to lay blame
where it isn't deserved.
This isn't even
your mother's fault.
She's just doing
what she likes to do.
When are you going to do
what you like?
Please! Don't get mad.
Listen, I swear
all I want
is to tell everyone.
I want to shout it out loud,
I don't want to deny you.
You did something
much worse than denying me.
You denied yourself.
But... No, wait.
-Don't be mad.
-Stop.
Okay.
One last master plan
to get out of this, I promise.
This year's theme will be
iconic cities around the world.
Between you and me,
your mom gave us the idea.
But it's wonderful, just like
her, with all due respect.
And just in case,
this is the first time
we've built a float
with a bathroom in it
for your convenience.
I'd like to break
with tradition this time.
I'd love it if I didn't have
to be on a float.
I'd like to be in a troupe.
Honey, the humidity
is going to melt your make-up
and your heels
are going to be killing you!
-Your mom's right.
-It's my dream.
Okay, fine.
Let me discuss it
with the committee.
We also have to choose
the singer for your crowning.
-Okay.
-Mijares is always the favorite
-and Yuri very generously...
-Yuri.
I love Yuri, but I'd like
to give a rising artist
the opportunity.
-But...
-What?
Let me ask the committee.
The problem is the money,
the tickets sold.
Not just anyone
is going to sell tickets
like Mijares or Yuri
or other singers
as famous as they are.
Right.
We have to measure your head
for the crown, it's hand-made
and it takes time.
-Sure, perfect.
-Go on.
Hey, sis, we're waiting for you
at Los Portales.
My cousin told me about it and
I came over from Mexico city
with dad.
We couldn't miss the carnival.
How are things?
Good?
You have a big head, you know?
To the celebration!
Just imagine it.
Where's Papasito?
Yeah, I'll see.
I remember
how mad your grandma
would get at your mom
because she didn't like Guty.
Because he was a bohemian.
-I didn't know about that, Dad.
-Yeah.
She was right.
But you wouldn't have been born.
So I made the best decision.
He's late, isn't he?
I'm finishing my drink.
I'll check.
What's up? We're finishing lunch
and everyone's asking about you.
Call me.
Villa del Mar Hotel,
good afternoon.
-Hi, Room 505, please.
-Ana?
This is Lety, your mom's
niece's cousin,
the one who'd pick her nose
at the table, remember?
COUSIN LETY
THE REAL COUSIN LETY
Fuck! That cousin Lety!
Of course, Lety, I'm sorry,
I'm in a bit of a rush.
-I'm looking for...
-Your boyfriend?
Yes.
I just saw him walk out
with a suitcase.
Okay, thanks.
Who's your friend?
She's my sister!
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
Tell him your ex-husband
is here too.
Shut the fuck up!
-I miss you.
-No! Bye, Charles!
Sing, sweetheart!
Excuse me.
I have to go to the airport.
Something made Papasito mad
and I can't leave him like that.
Sorry.
I've got a car, honey.
I can take you there if you like.
-Yes, please.
-You can't leave the carnival!
Mom, you go to the rehearsal
with the dance troupes.
-I'll be waiting.
-Thanks.
Play another one
for my daughter-in-law.
GUTY'S CAR
12 MPH
Dad, could you go
faster, please?
Honey, this is the speed limit.
Remember.
Better to lose a minute in life
than your life in a minute.
In all the romantic comedies
that end in an airport,
they always make it.
Don't worry, trust me.
But this is
a coming-of-age film.
This is a biopic.
Finally!
Thanks, Dad!
Fuck!
The flight to Mexico City?
The flight to Mexico City...
Do you know where it is?
Fuck!
Sis!
Didn't you guys come driving?
I'm an idiot! An idiot!
I fucked up, I fucked up.
I know where he might be!
Papasito!
-Ana.
-Papasito.
I thought you had left.
No, I just said
I needed to think a bit.
Just because I don't agree
with your decision
doesn't mean I'm going
to stop loving you.
I don't know what it means
to find 'the love of your life',
but this is as
close as it gets.
Look, let me introduce you
to some friends.
Son, father and uncle.
Ani-cookie.
Ani-cookie!
-Ani-cookie!
-No!
How are you, babe? They gave
me the keys to the city.
I'm the Mayor.
Yeah, I'm not going
to be carnival queen after all,
but I think she'll do
a much better job.
Ana!
No, I wanted to celebrate!
Honey, I've been calling you
to say that
my future son-in-law is here.
-Mom...
-Look.
This was my original crown.
It was a surprise,
but since you don't want
my opinion on anything,
I didn't know
if you'd want to wear it.
It's so pretty.
They don't make them
like they used to.
Or the queens, Mom.
I'll never be as pretty
and beloved a queen
as you were.
What about the house?
Aren't we getting it back?
You have to let go.
Let in the new.
We don't need
to cling to the past.
No.
You ended up becoming
a romantic.
Is it because of Papasito?
I'm not choosing him,
or you, or the house.
I'm choosing me.
You should do the same.
There's a new life waiting for
you in Los Angeles, with Charles.
Even if it scares you.
It scares me too.
In the end,
I do miss
having her in my head,
giving me the best
and the worst advice.
I love you.
And you
are the queen of this land.
I am?
Let me introduce
you to my family.
This is Ali, my sister,
the person I admire most,
who gave me the confidence
to write this story.
I love you, sis.
Thanks for the music.
This is my dad, Guty,
the sweetest man ever, he
knows how to enjoy life haste
and I hope
I can do the same sometime.
I adore you, Dad.
This is my mom,
the sovereign,
as her dad would call her.
The famous Nena de la Reguera,
who was born to be the queen
of my heart and of many others
who know the real her.
Veracruz,
I hope this story shows
my love for you,
for your flavors,
your sounds, your colors.
It's my love letter to
the place that gave me so much.
So, how about this?
-I like it!
-Yeah?
I love it!
Anita!
-Can I get a picture?
-Sure.
-I'll take it for you.
-Yeah.
Great, let's see.
I saw the news that you dumped
the carnival!
WE HAVE NO QUEEN!
SHE WOULDN'T GET UP AT 6 AM.
The press is having
a field day.
I know,
but I'm a little old for that,
for the dance troupes
and parades.
-Well, thanks.
-You're welcome.
-See you.
-See you.
Take care.
I have a farm.
I live with a bunch of chickens.
Just remember you can
make it in Hollywood
even without being in Hollywood.
Think about it.
HOUSE FOR SALE
This is a sign
for me to settle down.
I don't know for how long,
but I know I want to be here.
Just be.
Nice.
What?
What do you mean
unavailable?
I decided to stay here
for a while and write.
-¿Are you sure?
-Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
-Okay, call me when you're ready.
-Of course.
-Bye.
-Thank you.
I just said no to Hollywood.
Wow.
Respect.
You won't regret it.
And you know what I love
about Veracruz?
The humidity
makes cereal fluffy
in like five minutes.
This is like
heaven for me.
Okay.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks
because I really need
to see Squirrel.
I know.
Will you bring her next time?
I hope so, it could be cool.
-I'll miss you.
-Me too.
Have a good trip.
Bye.
One of these days
I'm coming out
One of these days
I'm going to leave
ANA,
YOU HAVE TO GET LOST,
TO FIND YOURSELF.
CHAPTER 1
Everything you do remains,
but what remains
can also change
and help you grow.
Grow.
What a powerful word.
Don't you think?
I love you all.
Ana.
Every morning
I look out the window
I look in the mirror
And I'm full of gray hairs
Cupid is gone
He is tired
I guess in terms of love
I'm a veteran
Veracruz-born,
I live in L.A.
But I'm Mexican
Veracruz-born
I'm not perfect
I'm just human
LOVE, ANA.
TO MY REAL FAMILY
Okay, Mom, we're going to watch
the last episode
of the whole season of Ana.
My niece's cousin, the one who'd
eat her boogers at the table.
Honey, I don't know why
you have such a bad memory.
I left 20 years ago.
No, honey,
you have to remember.
Yes, Your Majesty.
That's what
you call me sometimes, right?
Before arriving anywhere...
-I start telling you.
-"You have to behave like this."
But you don't behave.
"You have to behave like that."
"You have to do this or that."
And it bothers me, because
you treat me like a little girl
-that misbehaves.
-You do misbehave.
It's like when I go
to the doctor with you.
"Don't talk to the doctor,
he doesn't want to talk.
Don't talk to him.
Be quiet."
You want me to be quiet
and I can't be quiet.
-So I was right.
-Yeah.
I remember
how mad your grandma
would get at your mom
because she didn't like Guty.
Because he was a bohemian.
Well? Is that true?
What?
That they didn't like your dad
because he was a bohemian?
They weren't crazy about him.
That's true.
They didn't like him so much.
Let's drop it there.
I was very glad
to get the call that day.
-Right.
-But...
I think I told you.
I'm not sure you know,
but I stole the crown.
-No!
-Really. I stole the crown.
Thank you.
The only problem now
is you can't be carnival queen.
Thanks for watching
this episode with me.
-You're the pretti...
-est.
-The cut...
-est.
-The filthi...
-No!
Yes.
-I didn't shower today.
-You're a dirty pig.
But it looks like I showered.
Bye! Say goodbye!
