From Prada To Nada Page #5

Please...

I'm falling for you.

You don't know me.

And as far as I can tell,

I'm just another girl

who answered your ad in the newspaper.

Well, then,

I guess it's time

to place a new one then.

Having a party of your own?

Is there something wrong with me?

No.

You know,

sometimes you play a game

even when you know

you're gonna lose.

Or sometimes,

you leave a game

even when you know you can win.

I wouldn't leave that game.

The remodel is actually much bigger

than we planned.

I'm finally getting to use

my design skills.

Edward, what a surprise.

I didn't think you'd come.

God, you look like

you just came from a funeral.

I lost a case today.

Well, you win some,

you lose some.

Yeah, this one

I really wanted to win.

Well, stop being a buzzkill

and meet my friend Lucy.

Sh*t.

What happened to my desk?

He didn't tell you

about the transfer?

What transfer?

Yours. But don't fret,

it's a promotion.

Bigger salary, more benefits,

good luck.

Go to Tower B, 30th floor.

Maybe now we can get back

to work?

Well, then I quit.

I need to tell you something.

Yeah?

I have to go to Mexico for a while

to see my family.

Well, for how long?

A couple of weeks.

Maybe three.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, I miss you already.

Me, too.

Bye.

Hey. What?

What do you know about this guy?

He's a gentleman.

Oh, my gosh, Nora, I'm in love.

And I'm moving out

in two weeks.

Has he told you he loves you?

Okay, seriously,

you just don't get it.

He's strong and silent, okay?

I just know.

You know what?

Remember, two-for-one?

Thanks.

- Mary, you just met him.

- So?

That's not love.

Okay, how do you know

what love is?

What's wrong with you?

What do you want from him?

I want to go back

to Beverly Hills, Nora.

Okay, there, I said it.

It's all I want. Okay?

It's all I've wanted since we got here,

and he can give that to me.

He's cute, he's sexy,

and he has lots of money.

He loves taking care of things.

Why not me?

It's the oldest story in the book.

Does that make me such a bad person?

It makes you a whore.

Better than the spinster.

My gosh! That's our house!

I made chicken soup.

- Is something wrong?

- No.

Well, obviously something is going on,

so why don't you tell me what's going on?

This came by mail.

- What is it?

- An invitation.

To Edward's engagement party.

Finally.

You knew?

Yeah, yeah.

Can we eat?

Do you like aguacate, Mary?

No. Actually, no.

This is perfect. Thanks.

You know, the best

for the chicken soup is aguacate...

Mary.

Hey.

You have to tell him.

It's too late.

If he announces an engagement

that quick,

it just means that he is

way more confused than you are.

What can I do?

Just tell him.

Just tell him how you feel, or else

you're gonna end up regretting it.

Okay? What Olivia doesn't know

is that she has just given you

a wonderful opportunity.

I don't think I can.

Well,

I'm going with you.

That scares me even more.

Shut up.

Are you serious? Gosh!

You look like a nun.

- Nora, this is war.

- What?

What? What's wrong with it?

You look so hot.

I can't walk.

These are way too high.

Okay, turn around. Spin.

He's gonna love this.

What? What are you doing?

- I might as well be naked.

- Are you serious?

Stop. Okay. Come on.

- Still too tight.

- Stand up straight.

- What? No.

- You look beautiful.

No. You look beautiful.

I don't know. What?

Baby.

You look so beautiful.

You look so tall with these shoes,

it goes like...

Is this the right house?

Yeah, it is.

What happened to our house?

It's like a supermax prison

with Christmas lights.

So gray.

- Is that Juanito?

- Yeah. Look at their uniforms.

Hi!

What do you think of my new ride?

Juanito. Look what I brought you.

- For old times' sake, huh?

- Thank you.

- How are you?

- Fine. And you?

- Good.

- Hi, bonita.

What a surprise!

- You look so nice.

- You, too, Carmina.

They walled in the view.

For this ugly painting.

Our house is gone forever.

Come on.

Who invited them?

Gabe insisted.

I can't believe they came.

Well, at the very least,

they get to experience my remodel.

Who are they?

Hi.

We were pretty surprised

to receive your invitation,

but we're really happy to be here.

Late, as per usual.

Yeah, well, I'm Mexican, you know.

Let me introduce you

to Edward's intended, Lucy Parker.

This is Mary and Nora Dominguez,

members of my family.

- Good evening.

- You're a very lucky woman.

Thank you.

- He's a great guy.

- How would you know?

I would know.

Gabe, can I talk to you for a minute

in private?

More family secrets?

- Yes, Olivia.

- I don't think so.

She says she loves your remodeling.

Yeah. I would... Happy to...

- Congratulations.

- Thank you. Thank you for coming.

Need some martinis.

So, what do you really think

about the house?

Well, it looks like MTV Cribs,

but I'm really happy

that you kept Dad's office.

Yeah, well. I had to fight Olivia

for it, but it was worth it.

It's the only thing

I have left of him.

Actually, it's not.

Nora?

Mary forced me to come,

and now I'm here in front of you,

without words, which is crazy

because I always know what to say.

And I'm kind of having

this whole second-guessing game

going through my head right now,

and I kind of want to dig a hole

right there

- and kind ofjust...

- Nora.

Why here?

When you kissed me that night,

I had never felt

those emotions before.

I avoid relationships

because I can't count on them.

First my mother's death,

and then my father's.

I've built my whole life

counting on the one thing I can control,

which is my career.

And then you came along.

I resisted you

not for lack of love,

but because I was afraid

of losing myself in it.

Edward?

- They want to see you in there.

- Yeah. Yes, I will be right there.

- Edward. I really need you.

- Yeah. I'm coming.

Edward.

Thanks.

Rodrigo?

Hey, Mary.

What a surprise to see you here.

I thought you were in Mexico.

Yeah. Yeah, I was.

I just came back.

I want you to meet Natalia,

my wife.

Mary was by far my best student

this year.

- Right?

- Nice to meet you.

You should come to dinner

when we settle into the house.

Yeah.

- You bought this house?

- Yeah. He seduced me with it.

I used to hate LA,

and now I love this house.

Hey. Good to see you again.

Mary!

Mary! Mary!

Come on!

Why?

No!

Stupid!

Start!

How is she?

We're still waiting for an update.

I'm glad you're here.

- We're family, aren't we?

- Yeah.

How is...

- Olivia.

- Yeah. Right.

We split up.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Enough.

We have to try everything.

What are you doing?

- I don't think that's right.

- Mary. Mary, wake up!

What?

Mary. Mary!

Wake up before they kill you.

What are you doing?

- Stop.

- I want to...

- Fast?

- Yeah.

Hi.

Please don't drop me. Seriously.

Is that Bruno's new project?

He did it overnight

for you especially.

He didn't come visit me

in the hospital.

You okay?

Remember when we first got here?

I seriously thought I was gonna die.
