["Hooray for Hollywood" by Doris Day plays]

I'm sorry, honey, but even your actual crying is not believable.

Next, uh, "Beatrice Grus... Grus"...

Gruszczynski. That's me.

Gruszczynski. Huh. There's a name you'll never see in lights.

[stammers] Uh, sweetie, I am looking to represent glamorous ingenues,

not Midwestern girls who just� [stammers] �could blend into the background.

Well, the thing is, I just arrived from Center Point, Indiana,

to pursue my dream of being a star in the motion pictures.

[all laugh]

Yeah, like every other girl in this town.

Please. Is there anything I could do?

Go back in time and be born someone different.

Sophia, come on.

[sighs]

["Hooray for Hollywood" continues]

Are you Helen?

Yes, I...

Oh. [Chuckles] Can I help you?

We'll find out.

I'm just in from New York. The Broadway scene's become a bit of a bore,

and my friends tell me that you're the best agent in Los Angeles.

Well, I'm intrigued. Uh, why don't you come back at 1:30?

Fabulous, but make it 2:00. I'm meeting my publicist for lunch at Romanoff's.

[stammers] Sorry, I-I... I didn't catch your name, Miss�

Davies. Diane Davies.

And that's how Diane got her agent.

You see, Hugo, Hollywood is all about the right connections.

I could use a good connection,

as in, what's the connection between this and Las Colin as?

[shushes] Don't be a smart-ass.

This story is about how the past can catch up with you.

And Diane's past was closer to us than we ever imagined.

As you all know, for the first time in Las Colin as history,

we'll be hosting a Hollywood wrap party here this evening.

[cheering, chattering]

My friend, the famed producer, Herbert Hayes,

just finished shooting his movie, Coco Nutz!,

a hilarious caper about

"two down-on-their-luck friends go to Hawaii on spring break

and get more than they bargained for."

Well, move over, Casablanca.

- [all chuckle] - [M�ximo] Ms. Davies?

If the movie takes place in Hawaii, why did they make it here?

For the same reason anyone shoots in Mexico.

- Our natural scenery. - It's cheaper.

So, everyone, please make me look fabulous. [Chuckles]

[all laugh]

This is a very important event, so we need all hands on deck.

Chad is passing out your assignments.

The envelopes, please!

[Diane laughs]

Wrong crowd. That's okay.

Meeting adjourned.

M�ximo.

[in Spanish] You have a special assignment.

Diane requested that you be her personal assistant at the party.

Our plan to get you closer to her�

Is working.

[in English] Yes! I get to hand out appetizers.

Lucky. I have to take care of Bud McKinley.

Apparently, his regular person got sick or something.

Who's Mr. McKinley?

You don't know who Bud McKinley is?

Why, he's the star of the movie.

You get to hang out with a movie star?

Do you think you'll get to go into the VIP area?

I've never been a very important person.

I've never even been an important person, not even to my mother.

I don't know. I just wish I could hide in the crowd with a basic serving task

instead of this, uh, fancy and very, very, very, very glamorous assignment I've got.

Well, we could switch jobs.

- You would do that for me? - Mm-hmm.

[gasps] Oh, my God, Memo.

I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Really, I can't.

Just be careful. I hear that Mr. Bud McKinley is a real party animal.

Okay.

[in Spanish] Hi, Julia!

Hi!

How is it going with my sister at your apartment?

Does she spend all day listening to music?

No. Sometimes she takes breaks to watch TV.

[chuckles]

Well, I can't thank you enough for taking her in.

- Truly. - Mmm.

[Older M�ximo, in English] I was happy that Sara was in a good place,

which was more than I could say for me after my discussion with Fabi�n.

[in Spanish] M�ximo, my friend..

Are you as excited as I am for that Hollywood party coming up?

I can't wait to find out what dirt you get for me.

[scoffs]

No�

That was a one-time thing.

I'm not doing that again.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

It's just that in such a short time we've made so many great memories together.

Remember this one?

And this one?

And this one?

Now, I would never tell you that if you don't get me a scoop at the party,

then I'll give these photos to Diane, but� [inhales sharply]

[speaks Spanish]

Oops! I just said it.

Got it?

No! Please don't do that!

I'd lose my job.

My family needs that money-

So�

I can count on you?

[Older M�ximo, in English] The clock was ticking.

My fate was on the line

just as Las Colin as was getting ready for its close-up.

- [chattering] - [shutters clicking]

Next week? No. No way. You can't go away then.

Diane, I delayed this trip twice already.

It's my grandson's baptism.

[sighs] I get it. Family's important, but this is business.

Can't they do the baptism next year?

Maybe wait till the kid can choose his own religion.

I have to be there for it, no matter what.

Can I finish saying no to you later?

This party is full of people that I used to work with.

And from now until it ends,

I need to spend every single second of my time focused on them,

making sure they see that I don't care about them anymore.

[sighs] Tabloids.

I've always hated those vultures.

I'm finally on the verge of stardom. All that hard work is about to pay off.

This role's a game changer for me.

My name right next to Liz Taylor and Jack Lemmon.

The producers know you're pregnant.

Jesus Christ!

�Is the best! [Chuckles]

Look, it's fine.

It is not fine. This is your big chance.

Plus, you're playing a nun.

Now, you have to marry the father right away.

It's not that easy.

I wish that getting married were more difficult.

I wouldn't have done it five times already.

What's wrong with staying on my own?

The tabloids would have a field day with this,

so, please, just marry someone, anyone,

or, otherwise, the studio will replace you.

Do you think anyone really cares what Diane Davies does in her personal life?

It's been two years already! Why won't they let up?

When a shark smells blood in the water, it doesn't swim in the opposite direction.

Well, you're my agent. Can't you get me a job?

I'll take any role.

"Diane Davies. From America's sweetheart to America's street tart."

[chuckles, snorts] Well, that's clever.

No, they're calling you a harlot, a tramp, a villain�

And those are the nice ones.

Now, face it, honey. It's over.

I mean, what kind of show is gonna hire you with a reputation like that?

Go ahead.

Call me a harlot, a tramp, a villain! That's what I am!

And that's why

I'm sleeping with your father. [Shouts]

[director] Cut! Very nice. Very nice, people.

Oh, congratulations, star of the highest-rated daytime soap on TV.

Oh, doll face, you know I never lost my faith in you.

- [chuckles] - Come on.

I've come a long way, M�ximo.

And now I get to finally show everyone just how far that is.

Watch as all the heads turn.

[both chuckle]

Shall I walk down the stairs again?

Hello. I'm Memo Reyes.

I just have to say I'm so excited to be your chaperone.

I just... I can't believe I get to accompany you

throughout the whole party, Mr. McKinley.

What? Oh. No, I'm not Bud McKinley.

That's Bud McKinley.

[panting]

Wait. That's the star of the movie?

Bud McKinley's a dog?

Bud McKinley is a real party animal.

Don't forget that I'm saying this to you now so you can remember it later on.

Party animal. Animal. Okay? Good.

And if you think you're getting in the VIP area,

you're barking up the wrong tree.

[gasps] Barking. Remember that I said that too.

So, no VIP area?

Just stay here, walk him every half hour.

Oh, and he had a huge lunch, so watch out.

Wait!

[singing Don Ho's "Tiny Bubbles" in Spanish]

[in Spanish] I'm glad they actually put a Mexican actor in this movie.

Thank you.

Now what did I see you in recently?

I was in that mafia movie last year.

I played a Mexican drug dealer.

After that I was in a raunchy teen comedy.

I played a Mexican drug dealer.

But before that,

I was in that futuristic sci-fi space adventure.

I played a Mexican drug dealer.

That's why this film was such a treat for me.

Oh, really? What do you play?

A Mexican drug lord.

- [speaks Spanish] - [sighs]

- [in English] Hi, ladies! - Oh, hi!

- You look beautiful. - [Julia] Oh, my God.

Did I just catch you looking at another woman?

Oh, no. I... No. I-I-I feel like I know her from LA. I just don't know how.

Ooh. Okay. Let me help.

What are some ways I realized I know someone?

- She was the cashier at your supermarket. - No.

You wore the same dress to a bridal shower.

Definitely no.

You sabotaged her swimwear right before a beauty pageant.

What?

[continues singing "Tiny Bubbles"]

Diane Davies!

Hi. I'm Kara King.

Wonderful to meet you. You are such an inspiration.

Oh, well, thank you. I'm a big fan of yours as well. [Chuckles]

"Kara," is it?

We even have the same birthday.

[both] September 15th!

Of course, I was born 25 years after you, but still.

Go Virgos!

[Diane laughs]

No way is she 25 years younger than me.

You cannot believe the lies people tell to stay in Hollywood.

Thank God I left so I don't have to be so fake all the time.

Bobby, who does your hair? You look fabulous!

[continues singing "Tiny Bubbles"]

M�ximo, see that man over there? That's Herbert Hayes,

the producer who fired me from the film that would've made me a star.

I hear he's thinking about using our resort as a location for his next movie.

Let's go tell him it's unavail.

[Older M�ximo] Even though my job was to accompany Diane,

I couldn't forget my other big assignment for the night,

find a scoop for Espectacular.

And that canoodling couple just might do the trick.

I had to tell Fabi�n right away.

Should I get you a glass of champagne

so you can celebrate when you break his heart?

Make it a bottle. Then charge it to his room.

Mmm.

Herbert, you old scoundrel.

Oh, look at you.

[music ends]

[Fabi�n, in Spanish] That's what you call good gossip?

That couple has been married for three years!!

TRUE LOVE!

Hey, for a Hollywood couple that's newsworthy, isn't it? [Chuckles]

I said I need something scandalous.

You have an hour before I go live.

Either you bring me something juicy by then, or�

Well, I don't have to spell it out for you.

[in English] Uh�

[in Spanish] Or I'm giving those photos to Diane.

You can go now.

[in English] So, what do you think of all this?

I love it.

You know, in fact, I was hoping for my next film...

Let me stop you right there.

We have no interest in renting out the resort for your next big schlockfest.

[chuckling] What?

No, I don't want the resort.

I want you, Diane.

I'm sorry, what?

Hollywood loves a good comeback story.

So, what do you think? A leading role in my new film?

I've always thought you brought such grace and subtlety to the screen.

You were my chauffeur,

and then you were my lover.

And then you went back to being my chauffeur, and then my lover again.

And then you were my orthopedic specialist.

And then you were my son's bar mitzvah tutor.

Now you're my murderer.

[groaning]

[groaning stops]

[laughs]

Thank you! I love you.

Oh! [Chuckles]

I'm glad they killed me off. Now I can get back into the movies.

Oh, doll face, you are never getting back into movies.

You're a tabloid punch line.

[sighs] Well, at least it's not another headline about who Chad's father is.

[sighs]

Isn't there anything I can do?

Sorry, no. Y... Movies wanna reach young kids.

You know, and all of your fans are middle-aged housewives.

Just� [sighs] Honey, face it. It's over.

But, on the plus side� [sighs] �you look fantastic.

It's too bad you can't build a career out of that, huh?

[electronic music playing]

[moans]

One, two�

Glutes of Gold is number one on the Betamax charts,

and your line of shakes is blowing up. [chuckles]

[sighs] Dollface, I never lost my faith in you.

Well, I just had to reinvent myself again.

But I did it on my own terms.

I hope this sends a message that women can do anything

if they act with certainty and confidence.

[stammering] I don't know. [Chuckles]

[stammering] I'm not sure. I... I'm flattered. I...

I know, I know. This is a... a crazy idea. I mean, clearly, you've moved on with...

I want that part! [Chuckles]

Then it's yours.

We just have one small hurdle.

I have to sell you to the big wigs at the studio.

You know, you're just so glamorous.

Thank you. That's just who I am.

Well, this character is the total opposite.

I-I can change. What's the role?

Well, she's just a normal Midwestern girl who blends in with the background.

- You're kidding. - Mm-mmm.

So, you think that you could, uh, maybe give me your take on the character?

Not a problem.

You'll find there's no more down-home,

salt of the earth, no-frills woman than me.

The very, very expensive champagne you asked for, Ms. Davies.

Terrible timing.

Just meet me in my office in ten, and stick the champagne in my suite.

I'll be right back.

[Memo, in Spanish] I'm sorry, Mr. McKinley�

It's not that I'm not excited to be with you.

It's just that I thought you were a real celebrity.

Bud, where are you going?

[in English] Bud McKinley, stop this instant. Stop.

- [shutters clicking] - Bad dog. Very, very bad, bad dog.

Hey, you. You mind turning this way?

We wanna get some shots of Bud with his handler.

- What's your name? - [Bud barks]

Uh, M-Memo. Memo Reyes. [Chuckles]

Excuse me, sir. Shall we show you two to the VIP area?

Yeah? [Chuckles] Welcome.

Thank you.

Good dog. Very, very good dog.

Uh, Ms. Davies?

I haven't thought of Indiana in a long time.

During the drought, my dad got behind on his payments,

then the bank came and took the farm away.

Our family never recovered.

Dad fell apart.

Mom tried to be our rock, but she�

I'm sorry. [Whimpers]

Diane, it's okay.

[inhales sharply]

It's more than okay.

I knew looking at these old photos would help get me into character.

Now, how do I look?

- Glamorous, as always. - Damn my effortless elegance.

[groans] I'm gonna have to change into something� ordinary.

I'll be right back.

Ms. Davies?

[Older M�ximo] Suddenly I had in my hand exactly what I needed for Fabi�n.

The biggest piece of celebrity dirt I could have ever imagined.

A picture of Chad�

With his father.

For the past two decades,

Diane's refusal to reveal the truth about Chad's father

only made people more curious.

So, if you gave Fabi�n the photo,

it would solve all your Espectacular problems.

[M�ximo speaks Spanish]

[in English] But it would also be a huge betrayal to my boss.

How could I live with myself if I gave Fabi�n that photo?

But how could I keep my job if I didn't?

I needed to talk to Don Pablo.

[no audible dialogue]

Don Pablo.

I have a big problem.

What do you do when you have to choose between protecting yourself

or being loyal?

It's not a decision anyone should have to make,

but, lately� [sighs] �I've been wondering

if, perhaps, loyalty doesn't get rewarded as much as it should.

So, what should I do?

[Older M�ximo] Then I saw the look,

that powerful look Don Pablo had

when he was about to impart some true pearl of wisdom.

[in Spanish] I haven't a clue.

[Older M�ximo, in English] Time was running out,

and I had nothing to offer Fabi�n except the photo in my pocket.

[speaks Spanish]

[in English] Oh, my God, I just figured it out.

Come on.

- Joanna Schiller? - Yeah?

- Wait... [stammers] I go by Kara King now. - [grunts]

I knew it. You're Nancy's older sister.

The one who always bought us booze in high school.

Man, those keggers were epic.

Thank you.

It's so good to see you. Uh... [breathes shakily]

Oh, gosh, I hope she doesn't tell my mom I was drinking in high school.

[Older M�ximo] At that moment, seeing how Kara reacted to Chad,

and remembering what she told Diane about her age,

a lightbulb went off in my head.

I realized I might just have the scoop Fabi�n was looking for.

See, Hugo,

all guests checking into Las Colin as had to provide a copy of their ID,

which means I had proof of Kara's real identity

and the fact that she was much older than she claimed.

[in Midwestern accent] Trust me, Herb, I still love state fairs

and hayrides and corn whatever.

Nobody's more of a down-home Midwestern gal than I am.

[normal voice] See, I even say "gal." That's both folksy and endearing.

Wow. I mean, that look, that... that voice is so�

Ordinary.

- [chuckles] - Well, I'm convinced.

Consider the role good as yours.

Oh, how wonderful. Thank you, Herb.

[gasps, chuckles]

Sorry. Fabi�n Solares is outside.

He found proof that a certain starlet is ten years older than she claims to be.

He is about to go live with this information.

Seriously? We have to stop him.

I thought you didn't like her. You said she was fake and a liar.

She is, but that doesn't matter.

Oh, these gossip vultures never let up.

[in Spanish] And we're live outside Las Colin as

with an� [gasps] �exclusive story!

[in English] Stop it this instant. Don't you dare say another word.

I don't care if you're live.

[sighs] I am so fed up with people like you

preying on innocent women, criticizing our every move.

We're the ones who expose ourselves to the public,

brave enough to chase our dreams,

while you hide in the shadows like vampires,

just trying to destroy us.

Well, it's not gonna happen here.

Not at my resort.

Okay, no one here's a vampire. Let's all try to calm down.

You listen to me. I will sue!

- [reporters clamoring] - I will sue all of...

[Esteban sighs]

[in Spanish] I know things are tough with Sara.

[sighs]

But,

it will get better.

At least M�ximo stays out of trouble.

- I guess you're right. - Mmm.

[breathes shakily]

Why don't we watch some TV?

It always calms you down.

Maybe don't think about family for a while.

[clamoring on TV]

[indistinct]

[in English] I will sue. Do you know who I am?

[gasps, speaks in Spanish] Is that my M�ximo!?

Uh� um� [clears throat]

- [Diane, in English] Nobody gives a... - [TV stops]

[chuckles, speaks in Spanish] Um�

And� How about we play�

Hide and Seek?

I'll count. One�

Two� Three�

[in English] Do you know who I am? I am a 1977 Daytime Emmy Award nominee.

Okay. Okay. I won't say anything.

[in Spanish] Let's go to commercial.

[reporters chatter]

[in English] Thank you.

No, thank you.

We got all this on tape. It is a gold mine.

I'm going to replay it for months.

Do what you want to me.

But don't even think about messing with my guests.

- [reporter 1] Diane! Can we get a comment? - M�ximo, I'm going to change

- and head back to the party. - [reporter 2] Wait! Please! Diane!

[in Spanish] I'll give you a little more time,

but now�

You really owe me.

[in English] So, I managed to keep my job after all,

but in order to do so,

I had come close to hurting other people.

Who was I becoming?

[Hugo] Finally.

We're getting to the part where you turn into a ruthless,

cutthroat businessman despised by everyone.

Okay, you're way too excited for that part of my story.

I'm a sucker for the juicy parts.

Well, as it should happen, things were about to get really juicy.

I said, "Fine. It's your money." [chuckles]

Herb, I appreciate your offer more than you know,

but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass.

Really? I thought this was everything you ever wanted.

I spent my life reinventing myself,

all to survive in a city that loved to knock me down.

Acapulco is where I thrive. And I'm exactly who I wanna be here.

Good luck to you, Herb. Have a safe trip home.

Yeah, she was completely wrong for the part.

[sighs]

Congratulations, Ms. Davies, on a wonderful night.

Thank you, M�ximo. Come have a drink with me.

You did a great job tonight and it won't go unnoticed.

But, first thing tomorrow,

we need to figure out who leaked that information to Fabi�n.

Don Pablo, come celebrate!

I'm afraid you have to celebrate without me.

[chuckles] What's this?

Thank you for the opportunities and the friendship you've given me here.

But now that this party is over,

I must leave Las Colin as

to be with my family in Mexico City.

It has become clear that I cannot do both.

That is my resignation letter, effective immediately.

M�ximo.

[in Spanish] I am very proud of your achievements.

We've succeeded in our plan to bring you closer to our friend.

I know you will go very far without my help.

Good luck, kid.

[sighs]

[Older M�ximo, in English] Decades earlier,

Don Pablo had chosen Las Colin as over his own family.

On this night�

He finally took the other path.

[M�ximo] Hugo, earlier you were looking for a connection,

a reason that I was telling this story.

Do you see it now?

Sure. The way life always�

No. No idea.

Holy crap. Your uncle is trying to decide if he should visit someone from his past.

What he's wrestling with is, should he follow in the steps of Don Pablo

who seized his chance to repair an old relationship,

or emulate Diane who decided to let go of her past?

Each one made the right decision for themselves,

so what's the right decision for him?

He doesn't talk much,

but when he does, it's electric.

[sighs] I'm gonna go check on that extra stop.

- Yep. - [Joe clears throat]

So, what do you think I should do?

[sighs] Uh, hard for me to say,

especially since you won't tell me who you're thinking of seeing.

We'll get there.

Luckily, we're about to visit someone who just might have the answer.

Um�

Excuse me.

What?

Wow. [Chuckles]

I cannot believe what I'm seeing right now.

Hi.

Dad, some dude's here to see you!

[scoffs] "Some dude"?

I flew in for your preschool graduation ceremony.

It sucked, by the way.

M�ximo?

- [Memo gasps] - [chuckles]

- Hello, old friend. - [chuckles]

- My Memo. - [groans]

- [chuckles] Wow. - Mmm.

He called me "some dude."

Memito!

[huffs]

- [chuckles] - Oh.

[sighs]
