- Great, two MOJITOS.

- Oh, so I forgot to tell you,

I actually spoke

to my mom yesterday

and she was telling me

that everyone decided

to go to Mexico City for

Christmas and new year's,

so I was thinking why stay

in New York by yourselves?

You know, I think

it's gonna be boring,

so I bought us tickets.

I actually talked to Alejandra

so she's gonna be there

and she's back with Manuel and

I know I shouldn't be upset,

but I don't understand

why she's with someone that

treats her like sh*t, you know?

And I was just

trying to talk to her

and I feel like such a

mom and I'm just like,

I don't know, anyway, whatever.

We shouldn't be

thinking about that.

We're on vacation.

I don't know, I just

thought it would be fun.

Everyone's gonna be there.

Oh, thank you.

Oh my god, I love your necklace.

- Oh, thanks.

I actually made it.

- No way.

It's so pretty.

- Thanks.

Actually I'm starting

my own jewelry line.

- Oh, what's your name?

- I'm Vanessa.

- I'm Mariana.

This is my husband, Diego.

I'm actually a fashion publicist

and we represent a lot

of fashion designers

and jewelry designers.

- Oh, that's really interesting.

- Do you have a website, or...

- No, not yet, but

I could mail you

some samples if you'd like.

- Well, actually we're

having people over tonight,

like, around 10, at our suite.

Is it 265?

Yeah, so suite 265, so

if you wanna come by.

- You know, I'd love

to, but I actually

already have plans tonight.

- Let me just give

you my business card

and then you can get

my email off of that.

Thanks.

Nice meeting you.

- So, I was thinking we

could either go somewhere

in Mexico or we can just stay

in Mexico City and relax...

- Why the hell did you

invite the bartender?

- What's the big deal?

I just wanted to

see some jewelry.

Hey, check my bag, I

brought you a shirt.

Why are your jeans rolled up?

- I don't know.

- So lucky.

Seriously, having a

small wedding is probably

the best thing ever.

- I hope so.

- Yeah, we actually

wanted a small wedding...

- really?

- My mom and my dad

would've been, like, no.

- I know, but your

wedding was beautiful.

- No, I'm not saying

I didn't like it,

I'm just saying something

intimate and private

like yours is perfect.

- Don't forget my drink.

- I don't know, whatever.

Enough of this wedding talk.

- I'm sure it's gonna be perfect.

How are you?

- Good!

It's been forever.

- I know!

So ready to get f***ed

up at my own wedding.

- You're so...

Oh my god!

- Mariana!

- How are you?

So good to see you.

Look at this jacket.

- It's so nice to see you.

You look amazing as always.

- Hey, what's up, dude?

You got a cigarette?

- Yeah.

- I love that new

haircut, by the...

- hey, sexy people!

- Ahh!

- Ha ha ha!

How are you?

- Oh my god!

I got your email...

- Nice shirt, dude.

- So, you all right, man?

- No.

It's that girl Vanessa.

- What, she say

something about me?

- Not quite.

We hung out last night

and we almost hooked up.

- Really?

- Nothing happened.

Well, we kissed.

- Whoa!

- But that's it, okay.

But Mariana met her at the bar

tonight and invited her over.

Mariana doesn't know

that we've already met.

And if she did she'd

f***ing kill me.

I'm scared Vanessa

will say something.

She's been acting jealous.

- So you think she's

a bunny boiler?

- A what?

- You know, like in

fatal attraction?

Glenn close's character

boils the kid's bunny

to get revenge on

Michael Douglas?

- Not helping.

Look, could you just keep an

eye on Vanessa tonight for me?

Okay, I don't trust her,

especially around Mariana.

- Speak of the devil.

- Thanks for coming.

You look so cute.

Are these it?

- Don't worry, I got this, man.

- F***.

- Just a few pieces.

- Awesome, I

can't wait to look at them.

Can I get you a drink?

- Um...

- Let me get that drink

for you, actually.

I'm Dave, I don't

believe we've met.

- Vanessa.

- Pleasure to meet you.

I've got this.

- We'll catch up later.

- Little surprised

to see you here.

- Please, get over yourself.

I came to see your wife.

You know, I looked her up.

How come you never mentioned

she works in fashion?

- I don't know.

It never occurred to me.

- In case you're wondering,

I'm not gonna say

anything about last night

so you don't need

Dave to babysit me.

- Whoo!

All right, where are we going?

- We could go to

electric pickle?

- Yeah, the pickle!

Come on, let's do this.

- You wanna go?

- Not really.

- Rumba!

- Let's go!

- Please?

Hm?

Just one.

- Okay.

- Let's go!

- Hi.

- Hey.

Where's Dave?

- Getting me another drink.

Hey, I'm sorry about earlier.

I didn't mean to get upset,

I'm just going through

a lot right now.

- It's okay.

- I really admire you, Diego.

- What you think of me,

it's important, you know?

I don't want things to

be weird between us.

- They're not weird.

- Hey, what's going

on over there?

- What?

- Girl, are you seeing this?

- Oh, hell no.

- Girl, go handle your sh*t.

- I'll be right back.

Can I have another one?

Same.

Can you make it a double?

- Where's Mariana?

- I think she went

to go find you.

- She went to the bar.

She's over there, I think.

- I've been

looking all over for you.

- Yeah, right.

- What's wrong?

- You just left me there.

I could've left and you

wouldn't even notice.

- You're drunk.

Let's go back to the hotel.

Mariana.

- Hey, Diego, let me handle it.

I got it.

- All right.

- Hey, hey girl, it's okay.

You okay?

- Fine.

- Why won't you talk to me?

Mariana.

I'm not a mind reader.

I'm sorry I yelled.

Will you come out?

Do you want some water?

- No, I'm fine.

I'm gonna come out

in a few minutes.

- I got you some water.

- I just need to sleep.

- Good morning.

- Oh my god.

My head.

- I'm gonna go get

us something to eat.

- Gracias.

- Gracias.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- How's she feeling?

- She's still sleeping.

- So, you probably won't

see me again before you go.

I'm gonna head up to

Tallahassee and see my brother.

- Thanks for everything.

Take care.

Tiger.

I got you.

- Thanks.

- You feeling better?

- Yeah.

- You're organizing your bags?

- Mm-hm.

Is there anything that

you need to tell me?

- What's goin' on?

- Was yesterday the first time

you met Vanessa at the bar?

- Yes.

- So why is she repeatedly

on your call log?

- You're mad at me because

of some stupid texts?

- Stupid texts?

- Nothing happened, if

that's what you're thinking.

- So if nothing happened,

why would you pretend

you didn't know her?

- Because I know how you are.

- What the f*** is that

supposed to mean, Diego?

- Mariana, please, I just need

a clean, well-lighted place.

- What?

- It's Hemingway, forget it.

- Okay, you know what, Diego?

Just let me if you're

ever ready to be honest.

I'm gonna be at Carol's.

- You're leaving?

Mariana.

Mariana.

Mariana!

- Hey, Mariana!

- Do you have everything?

- This is perfect.

- Good.

I'm in shock.

I didn't think he had it in him.
