The Maid Page #2

---

Raquel, I'm thinking about it.

Camila has to understand

that I'm...

Raquel please!

Forget about that for now.

Tomorrow is your day off,

go out, rest, go for a walk.

We'll talk later.

Hi, can I help you?

Do you have sweaters?

Yes, those are last season's,

and these are the new ones...

a little more expensive.

Looks good on you.

- Hi.

- How much is this?

It costs 5,000.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I'm taking it.

Cash?

Lucas, stop! Stop!

Raquel, tell him!

It's just a mask.

Lucas, leave them alone.

- Cut it out!

- Okay, enough!

- Have they eaten yet?

- I have no idea.

Who's your mother with?

With Mercedes, a new maid,

she's Peruvian.

Raquel!

I guess she didn't hear.

Raquel, I want you to meet someone.

Lucas told me already.

Raquel...

It's nothing bad...

She's just going to help you.

You can do whatever you want,

you're the boss.

Pick up the pillow.

Gabriel, the pillow...

Mercedes, please come upstairs.

This is Raquel, this is Mercedes.

She's from Peru, close to Lima.

Hello.

Hello, how are you?

Fine.

Could someone please

answer the doorbell!

I'll go Mom, don't worry.

Come on Raquel, be nice!

I was thinking that Mercedes could

handle the kitchen and the first floor...

and you could take care

of the kids and the second floor.

The kids only listen to me anyway.

Sure.

And you can show her

around the kitchen.

Open it.

A kitten! Mom!

Kids, come here!

Dad, come! How cute!

What is it?

No running!

Don't think that this house

is like this every day.

A kitten, how cute. It's so pretty.

Look at it, it's beautiful.

Camila, I'm sorry...

but you could ask before

bringing an animal home.

Well, I...

- Oh Dad! It doesn't matter.

- No! It does matter!

It's not a game, you have to feed it,

take care of it, be responsible!

I don't have time to look after animals.

Raque, we'll all take care of it.

Right Dad? Look!

Okay, but I warned you, all right?

I can take care of it,

in Peru we had like six cats.

Get over here!

The large glasses are here.

Don't open that.

Here are the cleaning products.

There are the plates.

The condiments are here.

So what are you going to cook?

Peruvian food?

Yes, a little of everything, right?

The vacuum cleaner

and waxing machine are here.

What are you doing?

Don't give it milk there!

Get it straight,

I don't want that cat indoors.

Hello, hello, hello, you little cutie!

Thanks Mercedes, for taking care

of the cat, you're the best.

It's my pleasure, Miss.

Call me Camila, we're the same age.

Okay, Camila.

I'll make sure he doesn't run away.

What's his name?

- Would you like to name him?

- Me?

Yes.

Are you going to cook or what?

Lucas, stop it.

Can't you see they're scared?

What's going on?

I told you what your chores were,

leave the kids to me!

But they were so scared.

Raquel, it's fine, Mercedes is right,

we got a little wild...

She's got to understand,

we're not in Peru!

Dammit Raquel,

you're being a b*tch!

B*tch?

Let's go.

Mercedes?

Want to see a trick?

Here, pick one...

- Raquel, are you okay?

- Come on.

Good morning.

Lucas, excuse me.

Mom, don't look!

Sorry! Were you practicing?

Yes.

I wanted to talk to you.

I know that Dad should be

the one to tell you this...

Raquel's tired of washing your

sheets and pajamas every day.

What! She said that?

Lucas, it's normal for your age!

Mom, get out!

I don't want to talk about it.

We have to talk about these things!

Mom, get out! Come on! Out.

Lucas! Raquel is just doing her job.

Thanks.

Mercedes!

Mercedes, the grocer!

Open up! What did I tell you?

- Good day, sir.

- Hey, are you new?

Yes, sort of.

Raquel!

Mr. Mundo, good morning.

Hello Mercedes.

Come on in.

Raquel?

Raquel?

Raquel, turn that off please.

How could you leave this girl

outside for so long?

I didn't hear anything.

Be very careful with this model, okay?

Don't vacuum in here please.

- Should I sweep?

- No, don't even clean, forget it.

I want to ask you for a favor.

Don't say that I went to

play golf at this time, okay?

Sure, don't worry Mr. Mundo.

Thank you. See you later.

Lima...

Lima...

Raquel, open the door!

Pilar, look.

I finished it.

That's incredible!

It's beautiful, honey.

Almost a year.

What if I put it here?

Look.

Yes.

Lima!

Yuck! Maybe it's in the pool!

Go see.

Mercedes, have you seen Lima?

Oh Camila! I have to tell you

something about the kitten.

What happened?

It got lost this morning.

How?

Dammit, Camila.

May God forgive me...

but I'm sure it was Raquel

who let it out.

- She's talking nonsense.

- All right.

Raquel may be crazy

but I don't think...

Think what?

You should see what she does.

She locks me out,

she treats me like a dog

and she disinfects the bathroom

every time I take a shower.

Mercedes, I'll speak to my mom

tomorrow, okay?

I already spoke to her.

I told her everything already.

- You mean she already knows?

- Yes.

Divine, what a beautiful dress,

that French thing

to take care of women,

especially their neck

that low neckline...

Mom, Mercedes is leaving.

What?

How come? This girl's been

here, less than a month!

She can't leave like this.

Mom! Leave this to me, alright?

Why should I care.

You fix your own problem.

Grandma, there's nothing to fix.

Mercedes can't take this

humiliation any longer.

What are you talking about, dear?

Everyone in this house

is well-treated.

Grandma, I know what I'm talking about

and so does my mother!

Raquel treats her awful!

Oh please, maid fights,

I've seen millions!

Mercedes, I don't know what to say.

Mom, you could apologize to her.

Thanks for everything, excuse me.

Mercedes, wait for me outside, okay?

Grandma, do you think that

I make these things up?

Let's quit this boring subject!

Grandma, I hate it when

my mom plays dumb!

Enough!

Camila's right.

Raquel's got you eating out of

the palm of her hand.

Admit it.

Mom, she adores this house.

That's why she gets like that.

She's very apprehensive.

She's grown tiresome,

obnoxious, fussy...

What do you want me to do?

Fire her?

Why not?

Because I can't, Camila.

You don't need to, dear,

we'll bring in Sonia.

Sonia, go get the dirty laundry.

No one told me to do that.

Well, you have to.

Hey, what did we say?

Mrs. Pilar, not you, okay?

Okay, I'll do it this time,

but remember...

Yes, it's clear. Sorry, Sonia.

It was supposed to be a flip!

Not a flop!

What was that, man?

- Lucas, look what I brought for you!

- Good.

Hey, great!

Thanks Raque Raque.

You haven't called me

Raque Raque in a long time.

Right!

You're the one and only

Raque Raque!

Hey! Don't wet me with that towel!

Stop being silly! Hey!

Why do you make such an effort

for these ingrates?

Just do your job

and you'll be happier.

I am happy.

With someone else's kids?

Before you know it,

they've grown up,

they're gone and they don't

even remember your face.

Those damn ingrates.

I love them and they love me.

I'm part of the family.
