- Abuelita believes that paradise is good for the soul.

And at first, she couldn't get enough of it.

But now the boredom has started to set in.

[chill music continues]

And the extraordinary has become quite ordinary.

And I'm really trying to enjoy myself--I am.

But even paradise can get a little bit monotonous.

- In life, there are always different paths.

Sometimes it's hard to tell which to choose.

[indistinct chatter]

But for my abuelita,

the one path she didn't want to go down

was the one her family keeps pushing her towards...

the retired "Do Nothing" path.

- Oh, Sonia, the kids can take care of it.

- Oh, no, really

I don't mind.

- Relax, mi amor. Enjoy paradise.

I was thinking that later

we could take a walk to the bridge.

You know, look out over the marina.

- Let me guess. At sunset.

Claro que sí. Today, the sun sets at 7:28.

- Good. Sounds great.

I can't wait.

- Okay, should I be picking up on something?

- Do you think you should be picking up on something?

- Are you doing that just to try to stay out of this?

- Do you think I'm doing that to try to stay out of it?

- Got it.

- Dude, getting in on this club with Pablo and Pato

is the investment of a lifetime.

What's the problem?

- We barely know these guys?

- Okay, we're hanging out later.

Why don't you come with? - I'm not talking about

hanging out or chillaxing.

I'm talking about we don't know

whether or not

they can run a business.

We don't know if they can run a lemonade stand,

much less a club. - Do you know how hard it is

to run a lemonade stand?

It's an unforgiving business.

- See? Listen to that then scale it up.

- I'm telling you this is a good bet.

- I don't bet, bro. I read business proposals.

I weigh the pros and cons,

and then I decide if it's a good investment opportunity.

- You mean we. We decide, right?

- Look, it'd be one thing if they had a plan

or even a mission statement,

but just because you started spinning records at some party

and got nostalgic for your youth,

it's not a good enough reason to invest in some "clerb."

- A, I'm still young,

and two, you're making this personal.

- Please tell me you meant B, not two.

- Huh?

- So I was thinking we go to the marina today

and check out the sailboats

and get a little bit of lunch today.

- I'm sorry. I can't. I have art class.

- Sounds fun. I'm in.

- I'm going to pass.

I think I'd rather save the world.

- Uh-oh. I smell a cause.

- And it's called sargasso.

It's a disgusting seaweed

we constantly have to rake off our beach.

- Ugh! That stuff stinks.

I would definitely protest against the smell.

- I'm not protesting against the smell.

I'm protesting against the corporations

that dump stuff into the water that make sargasso grow.

And you want to hear the best part?

The woman two doors down runs one of these corporations.

So I can just walk to her place.

- [speaking Spanish]

- The best part is I make the rules,

so you're not protesting against our neighbor.

Entendido? - I have to.

Sorry that I'm passionate about our planet.

I am the Mexican--

- We know. both: Greta Thunberg.

- Well, Gretita Mexicana,

I have to help your Tío Alejandro at the office.

And just to make sure you don't stir things up

in the neighborhood, you're going to the marina...

- Be careful, Mom.

You might get mobbed at the marina.

Your "I Quit Sweetheart" video is blowing up.

They even have a remix.

[music playing] - Oh, my God.

- Don't worry, Lorena. It'll die down.

- [laughing]

There's another one.

- [laughs]

Que chistoso!

That one is really funny.

Lorena, your head is about to exp--

No, it's not funny at all, Max. Actually, no.

- Mi amor, where are you going?

- Yunjin is going with Ana to the office,

so I'm taking Alexa to her art class.

- Then you better get Van Gogh-ing.

[chuckles] I'm kidding.

Wait, wait, wait. Is everything all right?

Because I'm sensing not so much.

- What could be wrong in paradise?

- I'm asking you.

- Mi amor, I'm sorry.

I think I'm starting to get restless.

I miss feeling useful. I miss working.

- You're not giving retirement a chance.

You don't want to see sunsets every night, fine.

There's plenty of other stuff we can do.

- I'm not doing anything with senior in the title.

And I'm not wearing matching outfits.

- Fine, I'll cancel the Amazon order.

and I became known as the I Quit Sweetheart Girl.

And I'm a joke.

- I can't just go talk to her.

Love isn't complicated. It's simple science.

It's pheromones kicking into overdrive.

You got this.

Hello, my lady.

My super awesome yacht is docked right over here.
