I am trying, I am putting up with it. But I am overwhelmed by the situation.

You will have to accept once and for all that Luisita is different to how you expected her to be.

Yes, and how can I do that?

You should be by her side, understand her. That's what some non stupid families in this country do.

But it's not that easy. I can't pretend to accept a situation that I know will get her into troubles.

So what should we do? Do we send her into exile like the Cid Campeador?

No, we tell her that she is wrong, that she cannot go that way.

Marcelino, accept the facts. She said it clear and concise, she is in love with Amelia.

Until you don't accept that, we all will have a lot on our plate.

I see, do you know what is happening dad?

Your granddaughter has brainwashed you, as always. And she does with you whatever she wants, you are her puppet.

So now I am the problem? You are not the solution.

Do you know what? I will leave, because if I don't I will start to swear in Hebrew at any moment.

Fine.

Why are you shouting? You will wake everyone up.

What's the matter Marcelino? You also argued with your dad?

What's the matter? Now I am the problem in this family?

The problem is Luisita, she is driving us crazy.

The problem is you. Don't say my any means that the problem is Luisita.

I am not the problem.

What will people say when she has 40 years and she stills share a flat with her friend.

People can say whatever they want. This is what Luisita chose and the best thing you can do is accept it.

Really? We are all so modern. You don't even believe what you are saying.

It's so easy to talk. Let's see...let's talk quietly.

Darling.

I went through the same as you. And I know it's very difficult to assimilate something like this.

Besides, it's hard to know that one of your daughters will suffer that much in life.

Sure. And it's true, that if we could choose...

but you can't choose those things, it's already given.

And the only thing we can do with Luisita is love her and be by her side.

Because if not, we will lose her.

Darling.

You don't want to lose you daughter forever, right?

Of course not.

So you know what you have to do.

Well...

I will try, I will try to accept all this.

I don't know what else do you want me to do.

Yes, I want you to do something more. Tomorrow we are going to have a tea with the girls. What do you think about it?

With them? Yes. Yes, with both of them.

If Amelia is Luisitas girlfriend, we will have to get used to seeing her here at home once in a while.

So, take a deep breath, call your daugther and make peaces with her on your way.

Has the technician already arrived to fix the coffee maker?

No, not yet.

We have to talk with you. It's important.

Important and serious seeing your faces.

I was so happy because yesterday we earned a lot of money...what's the matter?

We have to tell you something that happened yesterday. Right before Amelias show.

She was as always...almost naked.

Well, because her shows...To the point Luisi, what has happened?

A policeman was here, a friend of Rocios father. Najera is his name. What?

The policeman saw the show? No, thanks to Rocio, she went away with him.

But we were so busy yesterday.

Well, there was not a lot of people, but they drinked a lot.

Rocio can't leave everytime Amelia has a show.

I know, I think it's not good for the business to have the police here.

If people know that there are policemen in this bar, less people will come.

There's only one solution, we have to fire Rocio and find another waitress.

Maria but...how can we tell her? She wanted to learn and do her job good.

Good mormning. Hi Rocio, what are you doing here so early?

I wanted to arrive early to apologize for what happened yesterday.

I am sorry for leaving in the worst moment.

Well...you took the policeman with you.

Yes, but he was here because of me, and that is not good for the business.

No, it's not. Because if that policeman had seen Amelias show we would now have a fine.

I see, well...I guess you are going to fire me, and I understand it.

I understand that it is easier to find another girl that doesn't create so many problems. But I would be very thankful if you don't fire me.

Well...I will go to the bar, if you need anything I am there.

Poor girl, she is so nice.

She is nice, sensible, hardworking.

And she got used to the work so fast, we can't fire her.

I know, I also think she is nice. But it's not good to have the police here everyday.

My sister is right.

Yes?

Hi Sebas.

Yes, she is here with us. Bye.

For me? Sebas.

Yes?

Yes, we know.

How do you know?

I see, well...thanks for telling us.

No, I am here with Maria and Luisita.

Thanks. Bye.

We have a problem. People know that the police was here yesterday.

And Sebas called to tell us.

For god Sake, how does Sebas know?

A friend told him, he always comes when Amelia performs and he saw the policeman.

If Sebas knows that the police was here...in three hours all neighbourhood will know.

For god sake, what should we do now?

Are you sure that inviting Amelia and Luisita with your husband to have a tea is a good idea?

Yes, we need to normalize the situation as soon as possible.

It's not easy to think that her daugther has fallen in love with a vedette.

I know, do you think it was easy for me?

If I am sincere...not even now it's easy for me.

I am very worried when I see them together and I think someone can see them and notice about their relationship.

I can imagine. But parents should make an effort so that our kids are happy.

And I can see that she is very happy.

I guess.

You don't need to say anything else.

I just want to tell you that it has been a pleasure... One moment Rocio, Luisi.

Rocio...

if there's someone here that understands what is to suffer the intransigences of her father, that's me.

So...So...

if you want to continue working here you can.

Of course I want. So you stay here with us.

Thanks, really.

Come here.

I hope that my father understand that now this is my job.

Well, and to tell that policeman to work in the street and not here.

Najera didn't come today. That's good.

So now we have to go to do the numbers.

Thanks.

Good, right? I am really happy.

Boss, the bathroom is clean and the storehouse is organized.

Great. Something else?

Yes, you should sit down, you deserve a rest. And don't call me boss, call me Luisita.

I will invite you to a drink. Great.

You also have problems with your dad?

My father is good man, and he has a big heart. But he still doesn't assimilate or understand some things about me. What things?

My job. That I want to be an actress.

But Maria is also an actress and she is doing fine.

Yes, well... I am different from my sisters.

I see. Well, don't worry, your father will accept it.

I hope so, this afternoon I will have a tea with him, maybe he wants to talk about...the theater lessons.

It will be fine.

Rocio Altabas.

What are you doing here dad? Did you think I would not find out where you work? And the type of shows that are done here?

Dad, this is a very decent job.

I don't want my colleagues to know that you work here. Besides, I am your father, and you do what I want.

Now you will leave all this and focus on your studies.

Dad, don't you understand that I want to work here? Shut up and don't ashame me. Come on.

Maybe I stick my nose into other people's business.

But I think that you should not be ashamed of your daugther. You should be proud of her.

She is earning her own money and being independent.

Luisa Gomez, the manager, right? Or should I call you Luisita?

I will not let you give me paternity lessons. Is that clear?

Let's go right now.

We will talk at home. Don't touch me.

Luisi?

What has happened? And Rocio?

Her father came, and he took her.

The policeman? Why?

I don't know, because the caveman mind of her father is suffering.

Like you.

Yes?

Alejandro, yes.

No.

Alejandro, I can tell you that Ignacio has nothing to do with that.

I see, but why do you need me to come?

Marce, the girls are here.

Hi. Hi. Come in.

How are you? Great. Hi, come in.

I brought some cakes

Great, I am sure we will like them. But you didn't need to, you are the guest.

Np problem.

Marce, they are here.

I think your father is getting deaf and he doesn't want to admit it. Sure, that's it.

Luisita, your father is coming to his senses, step by step.

He is having troubles with it, but we have to be patient.

So it was high time, I didn't know how to tell him that my relationship with Amelia is serious.

Step by step.

I will go to see him, and I will bring the coffee. Take a seat.

Are you nervous? I am a nervous wreck. Don't worry, calm down.

Luisita, I hope that after this snack your father doesn't see me anymore like a devil that dragged you to hell.

Let's sit down.

Look what your father baked, Luisita Hi.

His lemon cake.

Has Luisita told you that Marcelino bakes a really good lemon cake?

No. No, I didn't have the chance to.

So you will try it now. Who wants coffee?

Me. Great.

Also a little for you. Do you want coffee Marce? Yes, please.

Our neighbourhood is very small but very cosy. We didn't have time to walk around it.

Because we are always working and when we arrive home we are so tired that we just want to sit in the sofa with the blanket and watch TV.

What do you watch?

There is a very good program of Jimenez del Oso, have you ever watched it? It's called "Más allá".

No, we haven't watched it.

We have to watch it, last day they did a program about Enchanted houses.

I was scared, I was all time hugging Amelia because I was really scared.

The cake is really good Marcelino. Right?

He bakes a really good cake. He should give you the receipe.

So when we come to your house to have the tea you can bake it. Sure.

Right Marce? We will go to their house to have a tea?

Dad, are you going to come home to have a tea? Of course not.

I am sorry but I can pretend, this is not normal for me.

This is very normal. This is not very normal, I can tell you that. It's not.

So you can do whatever you want, but I don't want to know it.

And don't tell me I didn't try, because I am trying. But I can't.
