Ninis (2022): Season 1, Episode 7 - Los Ninis: El musical - full transcript

- What's up?
- Hello.

You don't think the
red mouth is too much?

No, it's fine.

Besides, it's a launch concert,
it's only a hundred guests.

You think there's gonna
be famous people there?

I don't know, I guess.

I hope they can handle all this.

Where are the others?

Thanks for the
clothes, Chesca, but...

No, no reason to thank
me. You look great.

Yes, but it's a bit tight.



It's fashion, Rodri. From
Satellite to the world.

Okay. But the "twins"
are very uncomfortable.

Rodri, you and I know

there's nothing down
there to be uncomfortable.

You didn't want to take
long, but we're already late.

I'll bet you anything
we'll get to that place

and they won't let us in.

I hope they don't let us in.

Alright, alright.

We are getting inside

because you got the
tickets, right, Morales?

I have something that's
much better than that.

My contacts.

We're not getting in.



Hey, fellas.

Hey, tell me the truth, okay?

Did I go too far?

Morales' face says it all.

Girlfriend, what big bumps.

Even I got excited.

Too bad we're not getting in.

Why aren't we getting in?

Let's see, back in high school,
she was in love with me.

Are you trying to tell us
that she was in love with you

and we don't have
tickets for her show?

But she will see you,
she will remember you,

and they will let us all in.

Yes.

We're not getting in.

I really can't believe
they wouldn't let us in.

Really, Morales? Was it
really that unexpected?

Did you see that?
There's karaoke tonight.

How convenient.

Maybe we can give your
imaginary girlfriend a call

to come and sing for us.

Okay, sorry.

I should have called her before.

But I swear it's true, I
have known her for years.

Of course, my dear, we
believe all that and more.

Hey, what's up?

Sofi, can I order
the usual whiskey

and mezcal for everyone
else? Thank you.

Sounds perfect, four
mezcals and a whiskey.

Are you ever gonna stop
bothering me with that or what?

I'm sorry.

I won't make fun of Morales'
fake girlfriend again.

I mean, I can imagine Okalia

had a crush on someone
in high school.

But clearly it wasn't you.

Sofi, where can I
sign up to do karaoke?

- You sing?
- Yes.

I have a creative side
with a lot of edges.

But sides don't have any edges.

Okay, well, I do sing.

Are you guys ready to hear
something I haven't told anyone?

Okay, you know who my
first boyfriend was?

- Who?
- David Beckham.

No, I'm serious.

Do you know who my
first time was with?

With Michael Jackson.

Vale, don't be such a liar,
Michael Jackson is long dead.

Also, how old were
you? Six years old?

Okay.

Rodri, in the parallel world

in which Morales is
going out with Okalia,

I went to bed with
Michael Jackson.

I didn't go out with her.

I told her no because
I didn't like her.

- You know what you should do?
- What?

You should text
Scarlett Johansson

and tell her you're
not seeing her today

because you're meeting
Natalie Portman.

I don't even like
Natalie Portman.

Okay. Going to the bathroom.

No, don't start, Rodri.

What?

Sofi...

It's nothing.

All I'm gonna say is you
two look really funny

arguing like a pair
of old married folks.

Holy crap!

What? Holy crap!

You know what this
means, don't you?

Yes.

Of course I do.

What?

But you say it first.

That Vale is going to
get a big, big surprise.

- No, wait up, Morales.
- What?

I can't let you keep
making a fool of yourself.

Okalia doesn't know you.

Rodri, I've told you a
thousand times she does.

The only thing you have
to do is to go get Vale

and make sure she sees
me when Okalia hugs me

to make her very jealous, okay?

- Okalia?
- Vale, you idiot.

Morales,

you're going down a
very dangerous road.

So why didn't you come before?

- I had a girlfriend.
- I did too.

You smell so nice.

And besides, I was
out on an art tour

with my newest superstar,
she's my porn star.

Hey!

Pop star.

Okalia, the new diva of pop.

Pleased to meet you.

Nice to meet you, how sweet.

- Well, come in.
- Thank you.

Don't you think she
looked much thinner on TV?

No, Rebeca. Do you know
what this can mean, though?

I mean, yes, but I'd rather
hear you say it first.

Sure.

What's going to happen is that
you're getting on that stage,

you're going to sing divinely,
you're going to shock Okalia,

and you're going to make me...

You're going to make
us millionaires.

I love the plan, but first I
need a few drinks, a bunch.

No, my dear, from this
moment on you're a product,

so you get on stage
for me. Come on.

Okay.

Okalia, my dear. How are
you? Nice to see you.

Hey, you look great,
you're beautiful.

- Thank you.
- Sure thing.

I wanted to introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Chesca, good evening.

And I simply had a
little announcement.

I wanted to tell you

that I'm going to
introduce you to the voice

you've been waiting for years.

Sorry, your name is what?

Chesca.

Yes. And it's my
honor to introduce you

to the new Okalia.

The new one? Wait a
minute, I'm still alive.

For now.

We all know that artists
with tragic deaths

sell more records.

You could at least
wait until I turn 27.

We'll negotiate it.

And yes, I'm on the hunt
for a dramatic soprano.

No, hold on, you
won't believe this!

But this woman? She's
intense with the drama.

And changing the subject a bit,

call me Chesquis.

All my friends do.

- Well...
- Let's see.

Don't give me your conditions.

Enough of hypocrisy.

I'm the woman, you're the man.

Morales, did you
see who's there?

It's Okalia!

Go say hi.

Are you sure?

Don't do it! Don't make a
fool of yourself either.

I won't make fun of that again.

In fact, I'll give you material
for you to make fun of me too.

Okalia smells delicious.

Did you see? Rebeca did
get up there to sing.

I want to get into your eyes.

And see who you breathe for.

I want to know everything.

Truth or fantasy.

Tell me who caresses
you better than me.

Who you dream about, my love.

Who takes you away from me.

Who steals the warmth
of your body, my God!

Even if you cry, answer me.

Is she more than me?

She...

Tell me what she gives you
that you don't get from me.

She...

She's the one you think
about when you're next to me

I need to know.

If you love her.

More than me.

Tell me the truth.

Somebody put that poor
animal out of her misery.

Well, alright.

What was that material
you were going to give me?

You know who I loved
when I was younger?

- Who?
- Kalimba.

Really, Vale? Kalimba?

Don't mock me. That
was our Lenny Kravitz.

I had all his posters.

Country girl.

No, puberty.

Yeah, you're right, at puberty,
we all hit rock bottom.

Next... to me.

Won't you applaud?

Thank you.

No kidding, Beca.

That sounded like you were
killing a baby capuchin monkey.

How specific.

What's the matter, Rebeca?

It sounded like you were
stabbing a washing machine.

Once again. How specific.

But you sing very well.

I know.

Okay, here's what
you have to do.

You get up there and sing like
you always sing when you shower.

With your eyes closed.

How do you know that?

That doesn't matter.

Okay, yes, but...
Now which song?

The same one, honey, but
don't screw it up this time.

Okay.

A mezcal says she's
gonna do worse this time.

Double or nothing.

You wish.

Hey... Your boyfriend?

My boyfriend what?

How many French fries
do you think he's fried?

Well, I don't know. But
I'm sure it's many more

than you'll ever get
in your whole life.

This conversation
has just escalated.

Why don't you have a
girlfriend, Morales?

You're not so terrible.

And you haven't seen
me in action, girl.

Two things.

Don't imitate me.

Morales, no one's
seen you in action.

Calm down. I've
had my girlfriends.

For example... Karla.

From the Twister.

A pair of hearts
looking for love.

Don't tell me no.

Well, I'm just saying, but
I also have my own talents.

Yeah, I have a lot of them.

But recently, I've been
showing off with magic.

Grab any card.

Okay, I can't see
it, turn, turn, turn.

I can't get it, let's see.

Tell me who caresses
you better than me?

Who do you dream of, my love?

Who takes you away from me?

Who steals the warmth
of your kisses?

Be surprised.

No.

Sorry. Sometimes it fails
the first try. Like here.

Is she better than me?

Is that woman there your friend?

She was, not anymore.

But you said she
was a good singer,

that she was the
new dramatic soprano

that we were all expecting,

that she would be
the brand new me.

You should sign a
deal with her, Ramses.

Believe me.

No. Not even her death
would sell any records.

It's what the word means.

Not necessarily.

Quesadilla.

Sometimes there's cheese in it.

No quesadilla without cheese.

Country girl.

And stop insulting my
Chilangan traditions.

You stop insulting the
traditions of country

of Chihuahua, chilango.

What happened?

Morales, I can't do this.

What do you mean?
We were already...

I have a boyfriend.

I don't know what I
was thinking, really.

Yes, a boyfriend who's been in
Paris for a year and a half.

What's more, he's a racist.

How do you know he's a racist?

I don't know. Is he or isn't he?

I don't know.

I'll be back.

Hey!

That was interesting.

- Chesca, what were you doing?
- Me?

- No, what were you doing?
- I was singing.

Give me a break!

That sounded like two
dogs fighting in an alley

and a cat getting in the alley

and the two dogs going
after him, the cat.

Everyone's being so specific.

I'm still trying to figure out
what it really sounded like.

I haven't got it.

I know.

But when that picture
comes into your mind,

will you tell me? I'm
very, very interested.

- You can count on it, my dear.
- Thank you.

But I told you to sing
with your eyes closed.

I did it with my eyes closed,

but people started cheering
and going crazy with my talent

and it overcame me.

Okay, I don't know
what you saw, honey,

but nobody applauded, okay?

I know.

I realized my lifelong dream

of being a professional
singer will never come true.

Okay, whatever.

But not everything is bad news.

We managed to impress Okalia!

No, we failed to impress anyone.

Yes, we did it. Both of us.

- Are you serious?
- Yes!

Guess who's gonna be
opening her next concert?

You're kidding! No way!

Me?

No, me!

Apparently he doesn't
think it's such a bad idea

to start the show
with a magic trick.

Okay, and if you
managed to impress him

and you managed to impress her,

why do you say we both
managed to impress her,

Grand Magician Chesca?

Well, it's just... You know
I like to be inclusive.

- What happened?
- I almost kissed Vale.

Seriously?

Or is it like that time you
said Okalia was your girlfriend?

I was serious both times.

And why do you say "that time"

if it literally
happened 20 minutes ago?

I think today's youth

uses the word "literally"
in a very irresponsible way.

Rodri, do you understand
what I'm telling you?

You know what that
means, don't you?

Yes.

But you say it first.

Morales? Morales, it is you?

I can't believe it!
It's been so long!

A long time, since high school!

Yes, long time.

I can't believe
I found you here.

You live nearby?

If I'd known, I would've invited
you to a concert I just had.

Crazy, right? If you had known.

- Sorry, nice to meet you, I'm...
- You're Okalia.

Yeah.

So everything you
were saying was true.

What? What was true?

Morales has been saying all day

that you two were a
couple in high school.

No.

Well, no, we weren't a couple.

I wanted to.

But he friendzoned me.

Seriously?

I will never respect you again.

Ever.

- I'm so glad to see you.
- Yeah, same!

I'd like to tell you something
I should've said years ago.

I'm sorry if I broke your heart.

I hope you've been able
to get on with your life.

I hope it hasn't been tied
to having me and losing me.

Things have worked out well.
Don't you worry about me.

That's good.

How does it feel
to fill up arenas?

How does it feel to hear
yourself on the radio?

How does it feel to have fans?

You get used to it.

Alright.

So what have you been
up to? What do you do?

Well, lots of things.

In fact, right now I'm
at a large company...

Morales does nothing. And
they fire him all the time.

I am finishing the thesis
of my sixth career.

That you also haven't finished.

But actually, I became an eight.

It brought me lots
of trouble but...

What?

So why did you change
your name to Okalia?

I think Daniela is
a beautiful name.

Alright.

Morales.

All good?

Yeah.

- That was your girlfriend?
- No.

He wishes.

How are you? How's it going?

Considering that my voice

sounds like one of
those plastic chickens

that make some really funny
noises when you squeeze them,

I don't know.

How specific.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Morales.

Vale, one day we won't be
alone drinking at 3 a.m.

One day, everything
will be fine.

And we will be happy.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Thank you, Sofi.

Do you know what we need, girls?

A stroke of luck.

Let's go.

Bye.

Be happy.

No, don't get your hopes up.

Girls like that

would never have pictures of
you taped to their wall, man.

Yeah, right? It's not like
they're from the country.

Hey!

What's up, Kalimba?

I haven't seen you in a
long time. How are ya?

Good. I had a boyfriend.

And I had a girlfriend.

The basement is empty.

And did you change
the stuffed animal?

And the one with
the handcuffs too.

I'd like a double.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Eye contact.

Or seven years of bad luck.

It's pretty sour.
