C.H.U.E.C.O. (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Salchipanes con chimichurri - full transcript

Chueco bets Amanda that he is a better cook than she. While trying to cook an Argentinean-style barbecue with the help of Juan, he invents a new sauce, which is a huge success among Martín's schoolmates. With the boy's help, they set up a business and start cooking day and night. But Sofía, Juan's girlfriend, is about to discover that the family's pet is a talking chimpanzee.

♪ Chueco ♪

"CHUECO AND HIS MACAQUE"

Oh, great!

I wanted something to snack on.

Don't even think
of taking that chicken, Chueco,

or I'll cook you on the same tray.

Okay, okay. How moody, Amandita!

Oh, my, what a wonderful smell.

Chicken with fine herbs.

No, no, no. It's a body scent,
a woman scent.

Oh, God, it's delicious. (sniffing)



Juan, I don't wear perfume.

-What do you want?
-Um...

Nothing, nothing.

Nothing? Okay.

Yes, I need something.

-What?
-Coconut candy for the afternoon.

-But you don't like it.
-Gustavo is coming...

Oh... no.

I won't make anything
for that second-rate actor.

I need him in a good mood.

Tomorrow there's a charity act
organized by the foundation Love Art.

Gustavo is the master of ceremony,
so I need him in a good mood

so he tells me, "Why don't you play?"

I go, play the piano, success,
everybody loves me.



(buzzing)

I used to get so much applause.

Ha! Yes, but we don't know
if they clapped because you played

or because you finally stopped playing.

Great, Chueco. Thank you.

-I'm outraged.
-What happened?

They're tearing down the old auditorium
in the park to build a new one.

And there's going to be a charity act
and the official pianist will be...

Juan Gustozzi.

-Dad! You can't be so selfish.
-Why?

Where they're building the new auditorium

there's an ancient tree
and they want to cut it down.

I'm filing a complaint
at the local office.

No way. Talking to Gustavo himself
will be quicker.

Why?

He's a member of the foundation
that's building the auditorium.

And he'll be coming here later, Delfi.

-What time is Gustavo coming?
-I don't know.

But things are done the right way.

So go to the local office.

Or if you want to do something
really useless,

go climb the tree and hug it.

A waste of time.

(Delfina gasps)

How punk! I love it!

I'll climb that tree and won't get down
until I'm heard.

You, young lady,
will never live in a tree.

Fine. Then I'm talking to Gustavo.

Then again, the tree
can shape your personality. Go.

(squeals)

-Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Dad.
-Well...

You're welcome, honey.

-I'll go get my camping stuff.
-Camping, yeah. How nice!

-Good luck, honey.
-DELFINA: Thanks, Dad. I love you.

Go tree, yeah!

(piano playing)

I'm this close to composing
my new masterpiece.

Okay, now I'm ready. Enjoy, Chueco.

(piano playing continuously)

It just needs good lyrics.

♪ Ape and human are almost brothers ♪

♪ They lend each other glasses
And pick each others' lice ♪

-(laughs)
-(doorbell dings)

(groans)

Who is it?

Hello, Juanito.

Easy, chimp, it's me.

Gustavo, why are you dressed like this?

I was recording a commercial
for a Japanese airline.

Oh, it sounds important,
but do you speak Japanese?

Let's say I have to meow in Japanese.

Ugh...

Just what I needed,
another talking animal.

Amanda! You look gorgeous.
What did you do to your hair?

With that hairdo you look like... 60.

She was so anxious to see you
that she made you coconut snacks.

JUAN: Oh, Chueco!

I can't believe you remembered
they're my favorite.

Having fans as devoted as you are
is so touching.

Yes, Amanda has pure devotion
and love for her idols.

Do you know what this needs to be perfect?

A slap in the face?

I'll take care of coffee, you're free.
Laugh, laugh. (laughs)

Thank you, Amanda.

I have to rehearse for tomorrow's event.

Yes. I heard something about it.

The line-up is amazing.

I even convinced Florencia Montes
to play one of her songs.

Did I tell you we did a movie?

You mentioned it.

I wanted to ask you,
do you have a pianist?

-It was a long time ago, but...
-Well...

(yawns)

We were together...

And... action!

Hello. I'm Delfina Gustozzi.

I'm in Chapultepec Park.

I'm here to protest
to prevent the foundation Love Art

from cutting down this ancient tree.

I'm going to live here, and I'm not moving

until the foundation pledges

to move the building of the auditorium
elsewhere.

And... cut.

I didn't want to be type-cast,
so I told Al Pacino that I was sorry,

but I couldn't make more movies with him.

And you know? It's been 15 years,

and he keeps insisting, you know?

(shrieks)

Amazing, it's all amazing.

GUSTAVO: No!

That's not for you, chimp.

If you put your dirty paws on me again,

I'll bite you so hard
I'll rip off your hand.

I think... I'm going crazy...

Has the chimp just talked?

It was me. It was me. I was making a joke.

(chuckles)
It's so good, by the way.

It's good, isn't it?

I was looking at you,
and you didn't open your mouth.

(chattering)

The voice came from there...

I'm learning ventriloquism.
That's what it is.

When did you become a ventriloquist?

(Juan stammering)

A few weeks ago. Maybe a month.

And he's become obsessed
with being a ventriloquist.

Excuse me.

Come... come here.

(chuckles)

Show me again.

If we go to an ugly mask contest,
you don't need a mask.

(chuckles)

(laughs)

Yes! You never told me
you practiced ventriloquism.

Well, my thing
is actually the piano, Gustavo.

Ah, no, the piano is boring.

-Well...
-This is much more fun.

We're missing one number
for the event tomorrow.

Why don't you do it?

You know what, Gustavo?
As I told you, it's been weeks, a month...

-I haven't practiced much.
-But you're a natural.

Use your talent.

No... I just...

A lot of important people
will be there tomorrow.

That's why I'm telling you
I get stage fright, so no.

How did you do with the piano concerts?

What stage fright could he get
if his only audience was his mom?

It's great! I don't even see you move
your mouth. Amazing.

So, will you do it?

CHUECO: Of course!

You tell him our new show
is called "Chueco and His Macaque."

Vicente posted my video.

I've got 7,000 likes
and 230 new followers.

Oh, yes, I'm famous.

What will your followers do
when they see you come down that tree?

I'm never coming down.

(laughs sarcastically) I bet you anything
you'll last less than 24 hours.

You think? What can we bet?

If I win, you do my Language homework.

Fine.

But if I win,

you're going to clean the hair
off my brushes for a month.

What?

We'll see who loses first.

I'm going home.

The sooner you're alone,
the sooner you'll come down.

Hello, lady. Is everything okay here?

Hello, hello.

Yes, everything's fine.
I'm here doing a peaceful protest

to prevent this tree from being cut down.

That's cool.

But they won't start until next week.

Next week?

Well, they could come tomorrow, too.

Ah!

Or next month...

Excuse me.

Next month?

Chueco, stop dancing
and look at me in the eye.

What part of "nobody can see you talk"
don't you get?

Do you get the circus
you just got us into?

What are you saying? What circus?

"Chueco and His Macaque" is a number
worthy of the best concert halls.

And the division is simple,

50 percent for me, 50 percent for me too.

It's a win-win.

I'll go get a jacket for Delfina

because I'm taking her
these coconut snacks to the park.

You had coconut snacks left
and you didn't give me any?

Amandita!
There's a spider in Martin's room.

Oh, those awful bugs!

Yes. Oh, oh, I'm so afraid, oh.

Coconut snacks!

What? No! No, no, no, no...

Hello, Delfilibers, this is Del.

Loneliness is becoming
a little overwhelming.

I have to survive

in a hostile and dangerous environment.

-Oh, a bee.
-(bee buzzing)

Hi, beautiful.

Bees are very important
for our ecosystem because... Ouch!

Was it worth it to kill yourself?

That's not punk of you.

I'll remember this when I protest
against the honey trade.

Technical issues.

You got it.

You got it! No, you!

Guys!

CHUECO: Guys, I'm so glad to hear you!

You won't believe it,
but the weirdest thing happened.

CHUECO: It's like this.

A while ago, I heard meowing,
and it was the cat next door.

It had got in by the window
and when I saw it, I screamed,

so it went running and it hit the door

with such bad luck that the door
locked from the outside.

Can you believe it? Unbelievable, right?

Would you open it for me?

Chueco, Juan told us you're grounded.

Juan won't know. It will be our secret.

I'm sorry, Chuequito,
but you can't count on us today.

CHUECO: Guys...

Guys? Hey, don't leave me alone. Guys!

(night chirping)

(twig breaks)

It's hard

to measure time up here in Jupiter.

That's what I call my tree.

(squeaking nearby)

-MAN: Lady...
-(hisses)

Easy. I'm leaving.

My replacement will be here
tomorrow morning.

Hey, hey! Wait, wait.

If you must call the police
to get me out of here,

I totally understand you.

The police never stop by this park,
that's why I'm leaving.

Beware of the rats living on the tree.

Rats?

(door lock creaking)

(yawns)

(both screaming)

Shh!

-What are you doing here?
-What are you doing here?

Weren't you on the tree?

Sleeping up there was hard.

I only came by to sleep a little,
but don't tell anyone.

Especially not Martin.

Of course I won't.

Though, in exchange,
I'll ask a small favor...

What favor?

(snickers)

So, Gustavo comes in...

Are you clear what you have to do?

-Crystal clear.
-(doorbell dings)

(shrieks)

Here. I'm going. Wait, wait!

-Hello. Welcome, come in.
-Hi, come in, please...

Excuse me...

-Amandita. How are you?
-How are you?

I'll let the master know you're here.

-Thank you.
-(yelling) Juan, you've got company!

Oh, a tragedy has just occurred.

Mr. Juan...

(stammering)

He's woken up
with an acute case of laryngitis.

So he won't...

He won't be able to present
his ventriloquism act.

I've just had a great idea.

Why don't you play the piano, Juan?

That wonderful melody you've just written.

Right, but the pianist quota is full.

Oh, but nobody plays like Juan Gustozzi.

The best pianist who's ever existed
in the history of humankind.

Juan, play something for us.

I won't take no for an answer.

AMANDA: Come on, let's listen.

Break a leg, maestro!

My part ends here.

We listen a little, and we leave.

I've never seen anything like it.
Congratulations!

-You didn't tell me you could sing, too.
-Sure.

-Talent, huh?
-Fine.

(laughing sarcastically)

Aha!

You slept in your room last night.

-What?
-And I saw you and filmed you.

No way.

Don't you love the video I made?

So if you don't fulfill
your part of the bet,

I'm sending this to the whole school.

-No...
-They'll know you're a liar.

No! No, Martin. If I come down,
nobody will take me seriously.

Well, then, in three...

Two...

No, no, no! Okay, okay, okay.

I'll do your homework.

I've got it here because...

(gasps)

Martin, you posted it.

(cell phone chiming)

Gentlemen,

I've changed the whole program
so you, Juan, can be the main act.

(stuttering)

What do you mean, Juan?
It's obvious I'm the heart of this duet.

Thanks to your number,

we're going to raise
hundreds of thousands of pesos.

And Chueco, of course.

My pleasure. Juan and I
will grant you the honor

of being witnesses to the world debut
of "Chueco And His Macaque."

Martin asked me to let you know
he's deleted the video.

Vicente, it doesn't matter.

Everybody's seen it.

Look at this.

"Hashtag, what a fraud."

"Hashtag,
Delfina Gustozzi is a hypocrite."

"Hashtag, I want to save a tree,
hashtag, from my bed."

I'm the laughingstock of my school.

Look, some don't care
what other people say.

Others care a lot.

But you always care more
about the cause you're fighting for.

So turn that cell off and keep fighting.

Hey, Juancito, go find a smile.

It looks like you're going
to your own execution.

I am going to my own execution.

After our show tonight,
Juan Gustozzi's career is dead.

I didn't know it was alive!

(laughs)

Didn't you miss the warmth
of the applause from the audience

and all that stuff?

What I really want, Chueco,

is to be able to move someone
with my music...

(sighs)

Enough. The audience is waiting.
Come on. Let's go, Juancito.

Really understanding, Chueco. Let's go
by the tree first to see Delfi. Let's go.

What's that girl doing up there?

She'll ruin the event.

I'm getting her out by force.

Ma'am, one second, please.

-What's up?
-One second.

CHUECO: You know what? Excuse me.

But this girl is fighting
to save this tree's life.

You should settle with the old auditorium
you have right here,

and leave this tree in peace forever.

We're very sorry,
but "Chueco And His Macaque"

can't perform for you tonight.

Look, Mr. Gustozzi, this is...

-Really disappointing!
-Excuse me, ma'am, excuse me.

I may be Chueco's macaque,

but I'll never be yours. Stop it.

You know what?

Goodbye! Bye.

-Bye...
-Juan...

Nice, very nice.

-I love you.
-I love you too.

Don't ever call me "macaque" again!

No... of course not.

NEWSCASTER: After the moving protest
by a young girl, her father

and a musically gifted chimpanzee,

the president of the foundation Love Art

has pledged to build
the new auditorium elsewhere.
