They can eat for free elsewhere.

No more invitations.

- Video-conference. Your husband.

- Right.

- How are things there?

- Coming along.

- How about you?

- Sheraton, Marriott, Westin...

Everybody wants to get in

on our plan.

The wedding is great advertising.

- Everything has to work out.

- We'll see.

I'll be there before dawn on Sunday

with our potential partners.

- Have a good trip.

- You're acting strange.

- I've been sleeping too little.

- When all this is over...

we'll go on a cruise.

The obsession to make more money

never ends, Marc.

I have to go.

Officially, you and I,

if we want to...

...can get married.

- Are you proposing?

No. I'm saying that two people

can get married...

men or women...

whether they're homosexual or not.

Heterosexuals, too.

Why would two people

of the same sex get married without...

...an emotional bond?

- Out of interest! For example...

let's say that two men want

to get back at their ex-wives...

- I don't believe this!

- Today is Friday, right?

With everything that you are

putting me through, you dare...

- When are you leaving your husband?

- I have three hotels to go...

and less than a minute

to dump you. Let me go!

You two are so tight-fisted!

You're drowning in money...

...and you pay us pittance.

- We pay you very well...

and pressure will get you nowhere.

Don't get tough.

We know how important

this Sunday is to you.

- I'll find replacements.

- No one from the union will come.

We're a pain-in-the-ass, my love.

Jacuzzi?

Never mix your relationship

with business again.

What relationship, Magda?

- Hello?

- Mom?

I just abandoned a dog.

FOUR HOURS EARLIER

Where?

Thanks.

Come back here, redhead!

Come back!

- I warned you!

- Call the police!

No need to. I'm a police officer.

- Can we go to a drugstore?

- Sure.

I'm sorry dinner was so short.

- How about dinner tomorrow?

- She can't come.

She's taking a vacation.

A grey Mgane.

- I'm sure they knew each other.

- Who?

Your son's mother-in-law

and that guy.

- Don't call her that.

- She's going to be!

Even if you run away to Tasmania.

I'm going to Archena.

And, since you enjoy laughing at me,

I'll tell you a joke:

I'm officiating the wedding

this Sunday!

- You're a jackass!

- And you take things too seriously.

Did you mention at the precinct

that your gay son is getting married?

I did.

- Liar!

- Excuse me. You forgot this.

I'm not a homophobe.

It's just that I like to go unnoticed.

A justice of the peace marrying

her gay son is human interest news...

...for the press. I know how it is.

- So what? Buy a new dress...

...to look good in the photos.

- How modern you are. Go away.

- Someone must be waiting for you.

- I want to go with you.

Did someone stand you up?

You know I haven't had a girl

for a year, but you like to hear it.

Wow, what a man!

How can I resist you?

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

- Has Mrs. Vargas returned yet?

- One moment.

Nuria Vargas. No, she's not here.

They were going to a drugstore,

and we came straight here quickly.

- May I leave this for her?

- Yes, of course.

It belongs to the gentleman

who is with her.

It's important because

this cellular is in there...

...and his house keys.

- Don't worry.

- Thank you very much.

- Wait, wait.

What if Hugo doesn't come in?

- I'm too tired to think.

- We'll be able to see from there.

How about a drink?

You didn't use to wear high heels.

- And I didn't sleep alone.

- We can fix that.

Don't come on to me,

or I'll hit you in the eye with my heel.

Why don't we sit over there?

- No.

- Come on. Let's have champagne.

Hugo doesn't want to get married.

It's the other guy.

The gay cause is his political

career's platform...

...and he wants to set an example.

- You don't like Narciso.

- Nor do you.

- My mother didn't like you.

See? She was right.

They're here!

- They're kissing!

- I can see.

- But she's his mother-in-law!

- I know.

- Aren't we going to do something?

- What? They're grown ups.

Especially her.

- I parked my car outside.

- Never mind. Listen...

...this was left here for you.

- Thanks.

He takes after you.

SATURDAY:

Okay, you can have the apartment,

your mom and her three suitcases!

And don't worry about the damned dog!

I'll find her!

The dog ran away

because you wanted her to, right?

She ran off with her leash and all!

I almost lost my hand!

Miguel, I can't argue now.

I have a class. Calm down...

quit the paranoia and at noon

we can have a quiet talk...

which we haven't had since 4 AM.

Miguel, this is your house.

I didn't come here to take it over.

I'll leave, instead.

Where to? Where is she going?

Leave my mother alone!

I called Buenos Aires an hour ago.

Your mother sold the restaurant.

Darling, I always thought

that you would have a companion.

I never thought

you'd have a husband.

The small one opens the front door.

This one is for upstairs, Mom.

I rented the restaurant to your aunt

and uncle, I didn't sell it.

- Okay, you can explain later.

- Right!

- She can explain.

- Miguel...

...don't play a damsel in distress.

- It's just that...

I am a damsel in distress.

My bus.

- Get out!

- No way! She's my dog!

Shall I buckle up?

Murderer!

No, not you. Go ahead.

What were you saying?

They didn't serve breakfast?

Great. It's time to call the police.

They've been doing this since 6 AM.

We're running out of complaint forms!

You, the leader!

Let's talk.

- You're up early.

- You threw me out of your house.

- You had nothing better to do.

- You're going too far, Csar.

You're making tons of money,

but you're incapable of sharing it...

...with people you can rely on!

- You didn't even have a work visa.

When you arrived, you had nothing.

I gave you a job...

and a salary you never dreamed of

in your wildest dreams!

That was a long time ago! I showed

that I was grateful here and there.

- What do you mean, "there"?

- In your bed!

That's all I needed to hear.

Get out.

Round up your troops and get out

before I call the police.

This is about

You don't want a raise.

You want my hotel.

You think I'm mad about you,

and I'm not mad about anyone!

All right.

You want war?

You can't be in love with me

that much!

You can't be in love with me

that much!

Zoraida, I swear I'll love you

in spite of my mother.

- But Carlos Alberto, your mom...

- It 's open.

She wants you to marry someone

in your class...

...and I don't feel I deserve you.

- Zoraida, don't go on, please.

We're going to get married,

have kids and a family...

I'll go to work. I don't care about

an inheritance, I care about you.

I said I'd send you

your bill by a messenger.

Listen, Jacinto.

- You and I agree on some things.

- What things?

We don't want our sons to get married.

We know it will be a disaster

for all of us...

...especially for them.

- Is that why you're here?

Your son always wanted

to study abroad, right?

Well, I'll give him that chance.
