BETTY IN NEW YORK

Put your engagement on hold.

Until we get what we want,

don't discuss the wedding with Marcela.

How can you ask that?

What do you mean? Wake up!

Beatriz owns V&M, BAR, and our freedom is in her hands.

We're running out of time.

You have to make up with the uggo, and you will.

No, I can't put my wedding "on hold" just like that.

You have no idea how much pressure I'm under.

Let's change strategies.

You'll be her friend. Her confidant.

Tell her you feel good by her side.

Open your heart to her,

and when she's lowered her guard, boom!

You attack again.

Bravo!

Bravo, Betty! Bravo!

You quitting is amazing.

Very good!

What did the other employees say?

They don't know.

-Huh? -They don't know.

They're still worried about their paychecks.

With good reason.

V&M's got a gaping black hole in its finances.

There's no future there.

But a whole lot of past.

Huh? What?

During their fight, Daniel Valencia told Armando

that if he were to become president of V&M,

he'd order a full audit of the company.

Don't say that.

Oh no, Betty, that's very bad.

He'd find out about BAR and about the loans.

Damn, Betty.

Why did I do that?

I'm probably going to jail.

Hey, Ramiro, not so rough.

I hurt my knee and didn't get a chance to warm up.

Listen to Grandpa here.

I'm terrified of reaching your age.

Leave him to me, little brother.

I need to warm up.

But I wanted to train with you.

Don't worry, my sister has more experience than me.

You're in good hands.

-But... -What? You scared?

Only thing scares me is not paying the bank.

Then get ready.

All right, go.

I know, Cuquito, but if I hadn't quit,

what would I have done?

It was also the only way I could find of rejecting that love.

My heart feels like...

Sweetie, sweetie, there's someone here to see you.

-Me? -Yes.

-Who? -See for yourself.

Hurry, it's urgent.

Isn't she pretty?

This was at her graduation.

She graduated summa cum laude.

I'm not just saying it because I'm her mother,

but my Betty was always the best at everything.

Mr. Armando.

Hi, Betty.

Sorry for showing up unannounced and at this hour,

but I desperately need to talk to you.

Alone.

What? It's not like you saw La Llorona.

What are you doing?

If I'd seen La Llorona, I'd know

she was looking for her kids, but in this case, who knows.

You do realize, slut, that we don't have poles

running from the ceiling to the floor for you to perform on, right?

Therefore, why are you in that stripper outfit?

Stripper?

My boyfriend was hungry, so I'm getting him strawberries.

I'm going to slice them so he can eat them off my body.

You don't say.

You know where you can find them fresh and delicious?

At the supermarket.

Everything in this house belongs to my children,

who, by the way, shouldn't have to be witness to...

your two best friends!

They could be traumatized!

Traumatized, ma'am? Haven't you seen your face?

If you haven't traumatized them, you think I will?

Get out of here.

Yes, that's what you are. You're sorry.

-You old lady. -Get out of here!

-Old lady! -Out!

Betty, that idiot Daniel interrupted, and you and I didn't finish talking.

I know today was a lot to handle,

but I don't want you to make such hasty decisions.

We've come so far.

I know you're worried about the company's financial situation.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about us, about what we have.

What do we have, Mr. Armando?

This.

What's happening to both of us is real.

Ms. Marcela and her engagement ring are real too.

Yes, of course. They're real too.

But what you and I have is relatively new,

and I've been in a relationship with Marcela for years.

It was my parents' idea,

which doesn't mean they forced her on me and vice versa,

but at the time it was all so natural and logical.

Do you love her?

I care about her, I do.

And I'm attracted to her, I won't deny it.

I've always been very honest with you.

-So... -Everybody, dinner is served!

I'll be going. I don't want to be a bother.

No, not at all, Armando.

My wife just prepared a feast in your honor.

Please, be our guest.

You can't turn us down.

Betty, accompany your boss.

-You'll see, Armando. -Thank you.

My wife's the best cook. She's amazing.

Not to show off, but...

-Good. -Yeah?

Keep your guard up.

Keep it up.

Don't you think you're overdoing it, Sandra?

-You think? -Yes!

What did I do to you?

Hey, Break Bones! Pick on someone your own size.

Use mine, lovebug.

I can't find it either.

Here it is.

Here it is! I found it!

Wait, lovebug.

I love when you tickle my stomach.

There's the flabby old hag.

Quiet down.

We've upset the beast.

That hag.

Get on top of me, lovebug.

I'm crazy about you.

I love your butt.

I'm crazy about you, lovebug!

Grab me.

This is excellent, ma'am.

I'm so glad you like it.

I whipped it up quickly.

You should try her cooking at Christmastime.

You should come over this December

and have her romeritos and shrimp fritters.

I haven't had romeritos in years.

What does your mother cook?

No, we always had someone who cooked for us.

Oh.

My mother never did much cooking.

Not even dessert?

I remember once when I was in the Boy Scouts

and had to sell cookies.

She tried to bake them and burned all of them.

So she had to go to the grocery store and buy some,

and those are the ones I sold in my neighborhood.

Armando, you honor us with your visit.

Quite the opposite.

It's an honor to be here with all of you.

I only came to talk business, and this is how I'm welcomed.

-This is great. -It's our pleasure.

Is it very urgent?

No!

No.

It's not so urgent that it has to get done now,

but it can't be put off till next year either.

It's something that has to get done, isn't done yet,

but is being done.

I'm not following you, honey.

It's about... the investments.

The company's investments.

What about those investments?

Oh!

Would you like more chicken?

It's really good, Mom.

No, thanks.

Well, if you insist.

That's more like it.

He likes it!

Pile it on there.

-A little more. -More?

Sandra.

Get up.

Great.

-You okay? -What happened?

You lost is what happened.

I didn't lose anything to him.

How long have you been here?

A while.

I was talking to your dad about the wrestling tournament.

I saw the list, but I don't know if I should sign up.

There's nobody who quite measures up to me.

Hold on.

They're new, but they're good.

I don't know.

I don't know if beating rookies to claim a championship

is good for my image.

Why don't you sign up?

You're a fighter too?

Yeah, why?

Don't I look like one?

Honestly, no. You're very feminine.

It's all part of my strategy.

Nice to meet you, I'm La Pantera.

I'm rough.

Know what, Pantera?

I forgot to sign up. I'm going to fight.

No kidding?

So now I have two reasons to sign up.

I have to apologize for my parents.

They don't serve food, they force it on you.

Especially with special guests like you.

And I'm sorry they made you eat seconds of everything.

Don't worry about it. Everything was delicious.

I ate so much.

I was serious before about not accepting your resignation.

-But Mr. Armando... -No, Betty.

You and I will be just friends.

I promise I won't upset you or make any demands of you.

I'll see you tomorrow at work. No excuses.

I know you'll have my back, because I need you at V&M.

And in my life.

Bye.

This bitch is invading my space.

What is all this?

What is this?

Anti-spot cream.

Oh yeah?

Well, don't let my hatred leave any spots on your life.

This is...

Aloe vera.

$200? Holy smokes!

Just what I needed.

And this is...

For crow's feet.

I happen to have crow's feet on my arms.

I've got to stop letting them perch on me.

That's exactly why I'm building them a pen.

That's great.

I can't believe it.

This is the perfect instrument I've been searching for!

I dreamed of this!

Nothing like a thorough toilet cleaning

for those tiny, hard-to-get-out

stains and pesky corners.

Perfect.

And for those really tough stains.

Done.

This is the perfume I've always wanted.

Some air freshener to make everything smell good.

Mother nature needs to smell good.

The trees need to smell good.

And above all, a better-smelling poop.

And finally...

I'm taking a moment to relax

like was recommended to me in therapy.

The pipes should smell good too.

Coming.

I'm this close to finding peace.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Aren't you hungry?

Don't tell me you're internalizing your stress from work.

No, I just had a heavy dinner last night.

Oh yeah? What did you eat?

I went to a Mexican restaurant. The food was very spicy.

Oh.

-What happened? -My dad.

It's early, but I know why he's calling.

-Good morning, Dad. -Hey, son.

I'll be honest with you, and I hope you're honest with me.

Why weren't the employees paid?

Do you have an explanation?

I bet it was Daniel who told you.

It doesn't matter how I found out,

but now that you mention it, why wasn't it you who told me?

I didn't want to worry you.

I don't want excuses, I want explanations.

We had a problem with the deposit

of one of our bigger clients.

It was a large amount, but that money's coming in today.

That can happen, but we've got an open line of credit

with all the banks, and they've always worked with us.

Why didn't you try them?

I know, but I didn't want to resort to that

because that money's coming in at any moment.

Don't worry, Dad.

The employees will get paid today.

Son, what's going on with V&M?

It's a process, a strategy.

I'll be clear with you.

I've always supported you in the face of Daniel's attacks

and defended you to others.

If you don't resolve this problem,

I myself will request an audit for the company.

But Dad...

Dad nothing.

And you know who'll be in charge of that audit?

Daniel Valencia.

-The things you do to me! -Shh, she's right there.

It smells so good.

Hotcakes! Delicious. Thank you.

That's so nice of you. You're not as flabby as we thought.

Excuse me.

This is my kids' breakfast.

If you want breakfast, get it yourself.

What's your problem? I gave you money.

Don't worry, lovebug.

I'll make you a breakfast to die for.

No!

I mean, do you know how to make hotcakes?

-Yes. -Yes?

Not really.

But I'm sure there's an instruction manual in the box.

-It can't be that hard, right? -Let's just go out.

We'll get something delicious and quick.

Wait.

Watch out, kids.

Hi, sweethearts.

Sit down so we can eat breakfast quickly

because we're running late for school.

Here are your hotcakes.

Aren't you going to say hi to me?

How are you?

Good?

Hey, have you heard of a game called Heavy Metal Goods 2?

-What's that mean? -Very violent.

I know, I'm just testing them.

Hey, will you teach me how to play?

The best!

Hey, you don't want that, right?

Let's go.

Bon appétit, kids.

Bye, flabby.

-Girl. -Hm?

You know you can trust me.

Be honest with me.

I need to know if this company's going down the tubes.

Are we going bankrupt? Are we all getting fired?

No, not at all.

The company's just going through a bit of a rough patch.

Betty, I can't lose my job.

I've got two mouths to feed, and this is all I've got.

That dummy Efrain is threatening to take everything.

Oh no.

Don't worry, Sofi. Nobody's losing his or her job.

This is a temporary result of the last collection,

which, you know, didn't do very well.

The one sold to Mogollon's?

But Hugo Lombardi just made a deal with Nature,

and that's bringing in profit.

What?

-The deposit just went through! -Really?

-Yes! -Good morning.

The deposit was made!

That's the second piece of good news I've gotten today.

You made a great decision.

Good morning, Sofia. Excuse me.

Everyone will get paid right away.

I shouldn't have done that, but I'm just so happy!

I have no time to waste.

I'm going to make all the payments I owe.

Bye.

What happened to you?

I hope the other girl's in worse shape.

Not really.

Yesterday I trained with...

with another fighter from the gym,

and things got violent.

You let a girl hit you?

No, I didn't.

There was an incident with a sandbag.

Sandbag?

That's right. Nobody hits me.

-So what was it that happened? -I fell down.

You fell down?

Or did someone fall on you? You're all beat up.

Ha!

There's not a person alive who'd dare put their hands on me.

This one takes us straight there.

I'm coming with you.

Nobody hit me.

Are you playing the lottery or something?

No, I'm making a payment.

I'm not in debt anymore, until next month.

That's fantastic.

It us for us, but for others, not so much.

My feet are killing me!

What are you looking at?

Help me out.

Bring me water or something.

What happened to you?

I don't have a car so I had to take the awful subway.

That place is hideous.

It's like a labyrinth, and there are rats.

I walked two or three or four stations.

I don't even know how many.

You should've taken a taxi.

Duh! With what money? We haven't been paid.

That's why I had to leave my car in Marce's parking space.

I'm too broke to even put gas in it.

So you haven't noticed that we got paid, Pathetic Pat?

How does it feel to be so dumb?

I get that you're excited, but don't explode, Shamu!

Ines, can you give me a hand?

Yes.

Yeah, roll her away.

Faster.

Go on, Ines. Don't let anyone see the tear.

What a treat!

No, no, no!

We can't allow Daniel to do an audit.

We'll get caught and go to jail for everything we've done.

No, I don't think he will.

I'm marrying Marcela. We'll be family.

Oh, please, Armando.

Beatriz is the naïve one here, not you.

Daniel tears companies down to the studs

and sells them off for parts.

Besides, he hates me, he hates you, and worse,

he hates Beatriz.

At least Dad bought us some time,

and Betty's still on our side.

Oh yeah? I wouldn't be so sure.

On his end, Nicolas is pressuring her.

Why else do you think Beatriz is having doubts?

If she rejected you,

it's because she's got another man sweet-talking her.

You have to regain control of your assistant.

I know, but I don't know how. It's not that easy.

I went to her house last night.

Oh, yeah?

So then it's serious.

You visited her parents, had a chaperone...

Hey, don't laugh! I'm serious.

This is serious.

I don't feel good about this.

Betty is a good person,

and I'm not sure I want to keep lying to her and hurting her.

No?

When you feel like that, think of all you can lose

and I assure you you'll suddenly be overcome

with the desire to woo that irresistible beauty.

Should I?

No, tummy, I know you're hungry, but we're above that.

We're not going to eat poor people food.

Damn it, this smells delicious.

Betty, I need you to come with me now

to meet with a new investor.

You don't have any meetings scheduled for today.

I was just notified about this meeting,

and it's important to capitalize on new opportunities.

Don't worry about lunch.

We'll get something to eat there.

Okay, but where is it?

I don't know exactly.

Let me plug it into the GPS.

Betty, please turn off your cell phone.

It's a very important meeting

and I don't want any interruptions.

-I'll put it on silent. -No, turn it off.

-Okay, off. -Off.

Why is it so spicy?

Why do the poor make everything so spicy?

It's cool that the zodiac signs are associated with the elements.

For example, how does a water sign

get along with a fire sign?

That depends.

Some signs are really compatible, others less so,

and others shouldn't ever get together.

How about me with a Taurus?

With a Taurus?

How you get along with Wilson, more or less.

He's a Taurus, isn't he?

Or with a Scorpio?

I was just asking a general question.

Did you hear that?

What was that?

Weird.

I don't know, but now I'm hungry.

Lunch?

Let's go.

That was weird.

I'm going to eat so well.

I made my enchiladas really spicy, just how I like them.

You're terrible, Bertha.

You make them like that so none of us ask you for any.

Of course not.

I love cooking authentic Mexican food.

Where's my container?

Where's my lunch?

You're hiding it from me.

No. Look again. It has to be there.

It's not there!

Nothing ever goes missing here. It's got to be in there.

It's not there?

Are you trying to say one of us stole your enchiladas?

None of us would do that.

Huh.

Bertha, we're your best friends.

We'd never steal your food.

So there's only one other person to suspect.

What?

What are you looking at?

Can't I pour myself a glass of water like everyone else?

As far as I know, this break room is for everyone.

You ate my enchiladas!

Are you crazy?

I would never eat your enchiladas.

Gross!

They're probably full of salmonella.

Fatso-ella.

Yeah, maybe.

-Hi, girls. -Hi.

Patricia, have you seen Armando?

No, Marce. No, wait, I did.

He left with his assistant, but I don't know where to.

Come with me.

Mr. Armando, why are we here?

Who are we meeting with?

Okay, I lied to you.

I'm sorry, but if I said where I wanted to bring you,

you would've refused.

So instead I decided to whisk you away.

Did I do bad?

I don't know if I should feel happy or annoyed.

You and I needed to talk alone, far away from the office

and from the stress of Manhattan.

As friends.

Just friends.

So I brought you here to this public place,

so you wouldn't feel uncomfortable,

with no ulterior motive.

-An innocent outing. -Okay.

It's like an arcade, right?

I think so.

-Shall we go have fun? -Yes.

This is so cool.

What is it, Betty? Does this not seem real?

How'd you know?

It's the same for me.

I can only be my real self when I'm with you.

Mr. Armando...

I think the time has come to be less formal with each other.

I wouldn't be that comfortable doing that.

Why not?

I'm sure that when you're at home, alone in your room,

if you think of me, you're not so formal.

You're right about that.

Well, Mr. Armando...

No, leave out the mister. Just Armando.

Armando, I feel weird being here, you and I alone,

when it isn't work-related.

Why?

I feel like a woman like me shouldn't be with a man like you.

What do you mean?

Because we're very different.

You belong to a different social strata,

and you're about to marry a gorgeous woman,

while I am what I am.

What are you?

Different.

Plus, you're handsome and elegant and dress well.

None of that means anything.

Let's play and have fun.

Can you believe this loser moved back in with his tramp?

Not even on Case Closed had I seen anything like that.

-Have you? -No.

He's so selfish.

-Yeah. -But she's been coming on to him.

How could you?

What?

What are you talking about? You're confusing them!

Why don't you focus on what you're going to eat?

We all gave you something.

Hold on.

I'll give you the scoop, live and uncut.

Let's hear it.

Efrain tried to get back with Sofia.

Girl!

He wants to have his cake and eat it too.

Sofi, girl.

Look at me. Never reduce yourself to that.

We could do a Tarot reading and see what the future holds,

see if you're staying with him.

No, thank you. That's not necessary.

No!

Especially not now when I can clearly see

that a scourge in my future will slither its way toward me.

Who knows?

Maybe soon you'll be free of that scourge in your house.

Aren't you familiar with extermination, Sofia?

If you're not, call me!

And I'll help you.

See how scared she got?

She flew away.

She has no shame.

Tell me where Armando is, and I don't want any excuses

because I know you two.

Marcela, I swear I don't know.

Ask Patricia, she ought to know.

Armando didn't have anything planned outside of here.

He went out with Beatriz without saying where.

If he went out with Betty then...

I don't know, must be something work-related.

Neither of them are answering their phones.

Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.

Marcela, I swear I don't know where they are.

Armando was worried about the situation

and needed to find solutions.

That's all I know.

I am so disappointed.

I thought you and I had something different

after our conversation the other night.

But I was wrong, because all men are the same.

Thanks, Ricardo.

Betty, help!

It's okay, Mr. Arm... I mean Armando.

I can't take much of this torture longer!

Just calm down and enjoy it.

Enjoy it?

Are you okay, Armando? It wasn't that bad.

I don't like these kinds of things.

Did you see how high I went?

-I was almost a goner. -Don't exaggerate.

Now it's my turn.

I agreed to ride this one that you chose,

so now you're doing something I want.

Let's go.

No, Mr. Armando!

Why did you bring me here?

Here I come!

No, no, no!

Here I come. This is just getting started.

Hold on.

-Yeah! -That's 10 bucks we've spent.

-No! -I beat you.

Why? You can't.

I hate you!

No, that's not fair!

I'm going to have a heart attack.

A heart attack?

Where am I supposed to be aiming?

-This is so much fun! -It's good, right?

My turn.

Let's trade these tickets. I think we've got 173.

The bike.

No, the bear. That light-colored one.

The bear, please.

It's incredible.

Thank you very much.

He's heavy.

That's one big bear.

You look really sweet holding that bear.

You're going to look better with it because it's for you.

Really?

Yes, and all you need to do is name him.

I'll name him... Amoroso.

Amoroso. It's cute.

I like seeing you smile. I wish you always did that.

I know it's tough with how much work we have

and with all the problems.

It is, sir, but since I've known you...

Hey. None of this "sir" business.

-We'd agreed to be less formal. -Okay.

Armando, I want you to know that since I've known you,

a lot about me has changed.

I have new goals, and thanks to you and your work,

you'll take V&M higher than it's been

and you're going to carry out your business plan.

Thank you, Betty.

I know we'll accomplish it together.

I've never felt so supported, and that's thanks to you.

You've always believed in me.

-Let's go. -I'll treat you two to a drink.

Let's go.

I'll grab your things. Come on, Amoroso.

The last bit of it.

PF?

My container?

PF?

Patricia Fernandez!

You ate my food!

These are your initials.

Duh! You village idiot.

PF stands for... Pink Floyd.

Screw your Pink Floyd. Don't lie to me.

My food was really spicy,

and you haven't stopped drinking water.

I'm on a special diet to not end up like you, Shamu.

I'm going to report you to HR for bullying!

Oh, yeah?

What's going to happen? You going to get thinner?

I don't know, maybe I'll just kill you instead.

-Yeah! -No, no, no!

Oh yeah! I'm going to get you.

-Let go of me! -I haven't even touched you!

-I'm going to get you, moron. -She's trying to kill me!

What is Armando doing there?

No.

Marce, Marce! Help me.

Bertha's trying to eat me.

Leave the secretaries alone, Patricia.

You're coming with me to find Armando.

Where?

Chelsea? Central Park?

Uh... Jackson Heights.

Jackson what?

No, Marcela.

-Invite me to Dubai or Paris... -Let's go, I'm in a hurry.

Marcela!

"How to lose your ham hocks by eating ham."

This one looks good.

My sweetie.

Honey, are you home?

I'll leave early and see you there.

You're not coming back until day after tomorrow?

But you said you were coming back today.

Okay, I understand you have a lot of work.

I love you too.

Girl.

-Huh? -What happened?

That evil toothpick was right

when she said my husband would leave me for another woman.

What?

He's cheating on you?

Maybe.

He was supposed to return from a trip today,

but he just called to say he'd be another two days.

Now hold on.

Don't let that bottle blonde influence you.

She's just trying to mess with you. Don't listen to her.

Girl, Enrique would never!

We thought the same about Efrain, and look.

All men are the same.

They love you, they spoil you,

they bring you ice cream in bed at night,

they massage your feet.

Up until they meet some skinny young thing

to run away with.

No, don't think that way.

No.

You're tired, aren't you, Amoroso?

I'm glad we came.

I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Me neither. I had an incredible time.

I didn't think I'd have so much fun.

Betty, I know my situation is complicated.

You know what I'm going through.

I didn't want to admit it, but you're very important to me.

Truly important.

Your trust and loyalty are very important to me right now.

You're a great friend.

Right.

The thing is, Armando...

Yes?

The thing is...

I don't want to be your friend.
