Bewitched (1964–1972): Season 5, Episode 30 - Samantha and Darrin in Mexico City - full transcript
Darrin makes a successful presentation to marketing executive Carlos Aragon for the launch of his company's Mexican bottled drink, Bueno, into the United States. The next step is for Darrin, who plans to take Samantha, to go to Mexico City to sell the campaign to the company president, Raul Garcia. However, Larry decides to treat himself to the trip, basking both in the glory of Darrin's hard work, and in the relaxation of an exotic city for vacation. Peeved by Larry's selfishness, Samantha can't help but to use a little witchcraft on Larry while he's in Mexico City, the result being the need for Darrin and her to go to Mexico City as well to make the presentation to Garcia. The last minute trip forces a nervous Darrin to learn Spanish to impress Garcia, which for him is not an easy task. To assist, Endora, without his knowledge, places a spell on Darrin to make all his fears disappear every time he speaks Spanish. Because Darrin is all fear, the result of Endora's spell is that Darrin disappears entirely. The spell causes a problem not only on the plane to Mexico City, but also at the initial meeting with Garcia, as Darrin has to find a way not to speak Spanish, which includes not saying the product's name, Bueno. When Samantha convinces Endora to reverse the spell, Darrin and Samantha run into a slightly different problem, this time in front of an important audience of Bueno backers.
You naughty
little eavesdropping witch.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to find out
if we're going to Mexico City.
This mortal life has
addled your brain, Samantha.
Darrin's advertising campaign...
may introduce a new soft drink,
Bueno, to the American public.
It's a multimillion-dollar project.
I think it's a multimillion-dollar bore.
You would.
There's a chance you'll be able to
baby-sit Tabitha for a couple of days.
A chance?
If Se?or Aragon
likes Darrin's presentation...
we are going to Mexico City.
That's not a chance.
That's practically a guarantee that
you won't be going to Mexico City.
Mother, just be available.
Just whistle.
Good.
Your husband
has some excellent ideas...
that Se?or Garcia
will be very pleased with.
Yes, it's great stuff, Darrin.
This is a marvellous job.
I'll be very proud to present this
to Se?or Garcia tomorrow.
You? I thought I was going
to make the presentation.
You'll undoubtedly be
going down there later, anyhow...
but I feel this should be
a summit meeting.
Presidente to presidente.
We'd better be running along.
We've got to catch a 5:00 plane.
Excuse me.
Send us an enchilada or something.
- Se?ora Stephens, Se?or Stephens.
- Senor.
Thank you for
your very gracious hospitality.
- You're welcome.
- Well, so long.
Well, there goes our trip
to Mexico City.
Honey,
those things happen in business.
Why should I feel bad?
Who cares if I did all the work,
and Larry wants to be a glory grabber?
Who cares about
Mexico City anyway?
- We do. That's who.
- Right!
Hi, sweetheart.
How was your golf game?
Miserable.
I won all the money,
and I hated every minute of it.
Poor darling.
You teed off at 10:00,
and you're still teed off.
Sorry.
Let's go out on the patio. You can have
a sandwich and some cold beer.
If this were Bueno, I'd choke.
Yes, I know.
Sam, do you realize that Larry Tate,
the ugly American...
is in Mexico City for
three glorious days that belong to us?
In fact, right this moment...
he's having lunch with
Raul Garcia and Carlos Aragon.
And he's pitching my presentation.
Sweetheart,
I have a few things to do...
so you read the funnies
and do the crossword puzzle.
Enjoy yourself.
I like it.
- It is the work of a talented man.
- Thank you.
Carlos tells me that you have
another man who is very imaginative.
- Se?or Stephens.
- Yes. Bright boy.
I've brought him along carefully.
And under my guidance...
in a couple of years,
he may develop...
some of my judgment
and creativeness...
and insincerity.
I meant sincerity, of course.
Of course.
In any case, I'll handle
the Bueno account personally.
Even though I don't like the stuff.
- Who said that?
- You said it.
And why don't you like it?
I do. I do like it.
I drink it all the time.
I don't know how
I happened to say that.
Just a slip of the tongue.
A very long slip.
No, really, I love it.
And I love Mexico.
It has so much to offer us...
for a backward country.
What am I saying?
I assure you, Mr. Tate...
that at least we are not backward
in the social graces.
I know. I know. Let me apologize.
Believe me,
I admire the Mexican people.
So strong, so artistic, so sleepy.
I didn't mean it.
I don't know why
I'm saying these things.
Perhaps you are tired.
Yes, very tired.
I am impressed by your presentation,
but I have made up my mind that...
That I haven't made up my mind yet.
I will look this over again.
I don't understand
why I am reconsidering it...
but we shall meet again
for lunch tomorrow.
- Now, if you will excuse me.
- Yes, of course.
I honestly don't know
what happened to me.
As you Americanos might say...
I'm afraid that
you have walked the bases full.
And it is time to bring in
a relief pitcher.
Perhaps someone
more simp?tico, as we say.
Perhaps Se?or Stephens.
Yes.
Yes.
I'll get him here immediately.
- And does he speak Spanish?
- Fluently.
It would help if he could
say a few words in Spanish...
to Se?or Garcia's directors
and associates.
He'll do it gladly.
He's quite a linguist.
How's the Spanish coming?
This is called So You Want to Speak
Spanish Fluently in Five Minutes.
My fluency is hours overdue.
Well, maybe it'll come on
strong in the stretch.
And where's your mother?
She's late.
Anything to make it
inconvenient for me.
She'll be...
My mother, the beach bunny.
Look what I won
in the surfing competition.
I'm a champion hotdogger.
That's fine, Mother, but...
They'd never seen anybody
hang 21 before.
Ten toes, ten fingers, and my nose
right over the front of the board.
Hello, my little darling.
Hello, Grandmamma.
Enough of the pleasantries.
Let's just say goodbye
to the old lady of the sea.
What did she say?
She said she hopes
we have a good time.
Oh, with her babysitting, and my
having to give a speech in Spanish...
I'm beginning to doubt it.
Having trouble with Spanish?
I'll give you a little zap.
No zapping. I'll learn it my own way.
- Oh, I doubt that.
- Mother.
- What?
- Well, goodbye again, sweetheart.
Now, listen. You take good care
of Grandmamma, okay?
There.
And now, I have
something for Durwood.
Higgledy-piggledy Chestnut tree
No one now will ever see
How embarrassed you will be
When you speak
The fluent Spanish
All your fears
Will merely vanish
Okay, now let's try this greeting.
Close your eyes and repeat after me.
Oh, well, that was ex...
Darrin. Darrin, don't look now.
But, if you do look, you won't
be able to see yourself.
Where'd I go?
What happened? I'm back again.
Ruthie, is there a man in C-8
talking to a cute blonde?
Yes.
Your Spanish was perfect, but when
you spoke it, you disappeared.
This is one of your mother's
delightful pranks.
Why?
I think I've picked up
a virus or something.
Say something else in Spanish.
Maybe I accidentally switched
contact lenses with my roommate.
I disappeared again.
Mother's up to something.
When is your mother going to
butt out of our lives?
- Well?
- Never mind. I know. Never.
Now, dear, don't worry. I'll go back
and find out what's going on.
Hello, darling.
If you're popping in because you're
so concerned about Tabitha, just relax.
She's having a nap.
I am not concerned about Tabitha.
I am concerned about Darrin.
Mother, what have you done to him?
I didn't do anything to him.
Nature did it.
Every time he speaks
a word of Spanish, he disappears.
Oh, how amusing.
Mother, it isn't funny.
What have you done?
The old lady of the sea just
tried to help the poor, frightened soul.
I merely cast a spell to remove his fear
when he spoke Spanish.
Since it removed him,
the poor boy must be all fear.
Oh, it's priceless.
Mother, you take off that spell.
You tell Durwood...
the old lady of the sea
will take off the spell...
after he's learned his lesson.
And in the meantime?
In the meantime...
I'd advise him
not to speak any Spanish.
Mother...
you make a mockery
of the word "mother."
- It was Mother, all right.
- It figures.
Ruthie, is that cute blonde
still in her seat?
Yes, she's there.
Now, don't be upset, sweetheart.
You don't have to speak Spanish.
Least, not for a while.
I thought so.
There's one very important word
I've got to say.
It's the name of the product.
Bueno.
Jadies and Lentleman,
we are now approaching Cexico Mity.
Go ahead, Darrin.
Dazzle him with a little espa?ol.
Why do you think
I brought you down here?
Probably because you blew
the first meeting with him.
We'll have lunch at
a charming outdoor restaurant...
that overlooks the lake
at Chapultepec Park.
It's one of my favourite places.
I'm sure you'll like it too.
Maybe we should stop at
our hotel first. Check in, and so forth.
I will see that your baggage
gets to the hotel while you're at lunch.
My car is this way.
I think, properly handled...
we could find a large market
for your product in the States.
There is one thing that puzzles me,
Mr. Stephens.
You always call my wonderful drink
"the product," "the drink," et cetera.
You never say Bueno. Say it for me.
Well...
For heaven's sakes, Darrin.
Maybe I shouldn't tell you this...
but he's superstitious about
saying the name of a product...
before he has the account.
Now, that is silly.
Bueno simply means good.
Say it for me, please.
Well, you see, I've been thinking.
That word doesn't mean anything
to most Americans.
I think it should be renamed
for the American market.
What?
This altitude gets to you.
Remember how it was with me?
What name did you have in mind?
Something with sparkle,
lightness, gaiety.
That has zap.
That's exactly what I had in mind.
A zap.
Lively, bubbly. You could say,
"Get some Zap in your life."
What do you think about that?
Well, I think...
I think I ought to think it over.
And, now, let me show you one of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Well, that's very kind of you, but...
No, no, Se?or Garcia.
We'd be imposing.
Besides, you'll need a little time
by yourself to think about Zap.
You're right.
I even have to think over
why I said I'd think it over.
While you're doing that, I'll escort
Sam and Darrin to their hotel.
When you refused to speak Spanish,
you made me look like a fool.
What's new about that?
I told you I only had a little Spanish!
- Don't cloud the issue with facts.
- Come on, fellas.
Yes, and where did this idea
for Zap come from?
Well, Larry, I hate to tell you this...
It was like a sneeze.
She couldn't hold it back.
Well, okay.
But you'd better be good tonight.
Samantha, I'm getting desperate.
You relax, sweetheart.
I'll pop home and see what I can do.
Pierre, I think we'll start
with p?t? de foie gras...
and truffles ? la Monique.
- Mother!
- Yes.
What's going on here?
Nothing.
We're just having a little dinner.
A little dinner?
With this diet, Tabitha will have
the gout by the time she's five.
Hi, sweetheart.
Samantha, this child is just
skin and bones.
She is not.
You get rid of all this stuff.
Very well.
Thank you.
And take the spell
off Darrin right now.
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
I forgot all about Durwood.
I'll go to work and reverse the spell.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.
Daddy and I
will be back on Tuesday.
I'm sure there'll be no reason
for me to pop back before that.
No reason at all.
Now, all right, Tabitha.
Tabitha, come on
and eat your dinner, dull as it is.
Sam, Larry and Garcia will be here
in a moment, and the spell is still on!
Mother promised
she would get rid of it...
by using a reverse-the-spell spell.
Reverse-the-spell spell?
This is ridiculous.
Well, try it again.
Say something in Spanish.
Hallelujah.
I'm saved!
She reversed the spell, all right.
Well, now, sweetheart,
try and look at the bright side.
I mean, you have to make your speech
in Spanish anyway...
so just don't speak any English
and stick to Spanish.
I'm sure Mother meant well.
Well, I'm sure that this time,
it was just an honest mistake.
Sweetheart, I'll pop back home
and see what...
Oh, boy. Excuse me.
I have to change.
Good evening, Sam. Darrin.
Oh, fine, Mr. Stephens.
You were quite right
about changing the name to Zap.
It was a brilliant
and logical solution.
How long would it take to
work out a presentation on Zap?
A week, more or less.
Isn't this a bit silly?
My speaking English to you,
and you speaking Spanish to me?
You're embarrassing your host.
Oh, no, he just wants to be
totally immersed in Spanish.
Of course. But some friends of mine
from the States...
who are interested in securing
the North American franchises...
will be at the banquet.
Although they understand Spanish,
still try to put in enough English...
so they won't feel left out.
All right?
Won't that make it a little difficult
for the Mexican group?
Oh, not at all. My associates are
quite comfortable with your language.
Well, let us be on our way.
- Oh, boy.
- Darrin.
Darrin, now, you have nothing
to worry about.
Just give all your speech in Spanish
and do exactly what I tell you, huh?
Now, start the speech by
addressing the Mexican group.
Then, when you turn to
talk to the American group...
I'll toss in a little translation spell.
They'll hear you in English.
When you turn back
to the Mexican group...
I'll zap them,
and they'll hear you in Spanish.
It'll never work.
Just keep turning back and forth
like a lighthouse.
Like everyone else, he'll hear
part in English and part in Spanish.
Considering the way he's acted,
he'll hear the whole thing in Spanish.
Serve him right.
What's going on?
Do you know you're driving me
right out of my skull?
And now, my friends...
my Norte American friends and
my fellow Mexican countrymen...
Mr. Darrin Stephens will now
say a few brief words to us...
in Spanish and in English.
I'm happy to be here with you,
but please forgive...
I know you all have
great respect for the name...
To give it an enviable place
in the hearts...
and the stomachs
of his countrymen.
Please, excuse Stephens.
He's blown his mind.
I think the way he switches
back and forth...
from English to Spanish
is wonderful.
To the American market
with an American name.
To assure you a great success.
Wonderful. Remarkable.
I didn't hear any English at all.
That's because
you did not pay attention.
You must be very tired again.
I must be.
My friends, I think we can safely
entrust our future...
in the hands of Mr. Stephens
of McMann and Tate.
Do you agree?
Say something in English.
No, no, no. I have a hunch.
Say, "I apologize."
I apologize.
- Why didn't I think of that before?
- What?
Well, that's all Mother wanted,
was an apology.
Why didn't she say so?
Well, you know Mother.
Yeah, I know your mother.
She's every inch...
of a mother-in-law.
Darrin, you had me
worried there for a while.
I guess I couldn't
understand what was going on.
But they seemed to like it.

What are you doing?
I'm trying to find out

likes Darrin's presentation...
we are going to Mexico City.
That's not a chance.
That's practically a guarantee that

And take the spell
off Darrin right now.
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
I forgot all about Durwood.
I'll go to work and reverse the spell.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.
Daddy and I
will be back on Tuesday.
I'm sure there'll be no reason
for me to pop back before that.
No reason at all.
Now, all right, Tabitha.
Tabitha, come on
and eat your dinner, dull as it is.
Sam, Larry and Garcia will be here
in a moment, and the spell is still on!
Mother promised
she would get rid of it...
by using a reverse-the-spell spell.
Reverse-the-spell spell?
This is ridiculous.
Well, try it again.
Say something in Spanish.
Hallelujah.
I'm saved!
She reversed the spell, all right.
Well, now, sweetheart,
try and look at the bright side.
I mean, you have to make your speech
in Spanish anyway...
so just don't speak any English
and stick to Spanish.
I'm sure Mother meant well.
Well, I'm sure that this time,
it was just an honest mistake.
Sweetheart, I'll pop back home
and see what...
Oh, boy. Excuse me.
I have to change.
Good evening, Sam. Darrin.
Oh, fine, Mr. Stephens.
You were quite right
about changing the name to Zap.
It was a brilliant
and logical solution.
How long would it take to
work out a presentation on Zap?
A week, more or less.
Isn't this a bit silly?
My speaking English to you,
and you speaking Spanish to me?
You're embarrassing your host.
Oh, no, he just wants to be
totally immersed in Spanish.
Of course. But some friends of mine
from the States...
who are interested in securing
the North American franchises...
will be at the banquet.
Although they understand Spanish,
still try to put in enough English...
so they won't feel left out.
All right?
Won't that make it a little difficult
for the Mexican group?
Oh, not at all. My associates are
quite comfortable with your language.
Well, let us be on our way.
- Oh, boy.
- Darrin.
Darrin, now, you have nothing
to worry about.
Just give all your speech in Spanish
and do exactly what I tell you, huh?
Now, start the speech by
addressing the Mexican group.
Then, when you turn to
talk to the American group...
I'll toss in a little translation spell.
They'll hear you in English.
When you turn back
to the Mexican group...
I'll zap them,
and they'll hear you in Spanish.
It'll never work.
Just keep turning back and forth
like a lighthouse.
Like everyone else, he'll hear
part in English and part in Spanish.
Considering the way he's acted,
he'll hear the whole thing in Spanish.
Serve him right.
What's going on?
Do you know you're driving me
right out of my skull?
And now, my friends...
my Norte American friends and
my fellow Mexican countrymen...
Mr. Darrin Stephens will now
say a few brief words to us...
in Spanish and in English.
I'm happy to be here with you,
but please forgive...
I know you all have
great respect for the name...
To give it an enviable place
in the hearts...
and the stomachs
of his countrymen.
Please, excuse Stephens.
He's blown his mind.
I think the way he switches
back and forth...
from English to Spanish
is wonderful.
To the American market
with an American name.
To assure you a great success.
Wonderful. Remarkable.
I didn't hear any English at all.
That's because
you did not pay attention.
You must be very tired again.
I must be.
My friends, I think we can safely
entrust our future...
in the hands of Mr. Stephens
of McMann and Tate.
Do you agree?
Say something in English.
No, no, no. I have a hunch.
Say, "I apologize."
I apologize.
- Why didn't I think of that before?
- What?
Well, that's all Mother wanted,
was an apology.
Why didn't she say so?
Well, you know Mother.
Yeah, I know your mother.
She's every inch...
of a mother-in-law.
Darrin, you had me
worried there for a while.
I guess I couldn't
understand what was going on.
But they seemed to like it.
