Destilando Amor 05/21/07 "The Delivery Boy Always Rings Once"

Over in Patrico's office he is vowing true love to Aaron's ex secretary Lluvia, poor Patrico he wants to do right, but Fedra & Aaron are trying to pull him over to the dark side...Onate, with his cloud of noxious gas, comes in...(this guy seriously brings the creep, but in a swarmy nice guy way that you can't quite put your finger on...I mean we the viewers can cause we know, but I think other people would just get that uncomfortable feeling that Oprah always warns you about, if he shook your hand, you would either stand with it under scalding water til the skin all came off or just cut it off at the wrist)...Patrico sends Lluvia on her merry way and Onate shows Patrico the papers; that Rod & Gavi (Marianne Franco) signed without reading of course...Onate leaves and Patrico calls Lluvia back in, saying they need to talk....thus ending his screen time for the rest of the episode...who knows what he wanted to talk about? Dinner? perhaps

Rod is vowing to find out the conversation between TWB & her new BFF (best friend forever) Gavi..He is quite upset...he rants, he raves....Elvira pops her nosy head in...Rod pretends he is overwhelmed with work...Elvira comes back and dumps like 75 lbs of mail on his desk, invites, credit card offers, Lane Bryant catalogs...Rod is overwhelmed...mail (maybe they don't get mail at the ranch)...he orders Elvira to write up a lil memo stating Gavi will as part of her job attend all functions with Rod....Now Rod stellar business man that he is picks up a ball (yes you read that correctly a small rubber ball) and starts bouncing it off the floor, it takes him a bit to get his rhythm, but much like sex, once he got the initial idea he could proceed (at least with that ball)..he is walking around the open office area. He sees handy man guy emptying the trash in Gavi's office, she was feeling poorly and left early (isn't that same sorry ass excuse what cost her the Hotel gig?), anyway Rod still bouncing the ball, goes in her office and seeing her agenda..personal organizer decides to steal it...

Cut to TWB or Isa...she is standing around the apartment anticpating the arrival of her husband. TWB, has not just been sitting around, she has put her endless loveless hours to good use and bedazzeled her skin tight jeans. She has done an awesome job as they have large teardrops crystals all over the thighs....Now that just screams CLASS.

Cut to Miami.....Aaron and Minnnnnerrrrrva arrive at a sweet vacation home. Minnie does not think it feels very personal..Aaron scoffs, well it has two storys, maybe after she does a head first down those steps, it will seem more like home. The help announces "Johnny Molina".
Johnny fresh from Jersey and his meeting with Tony Soprano (okay I made that up), sails in..he is wearing a pastel suit...Oh will the Don Johnson look never die? He is gonna hook Aaron up with bankers & the elite of Hollywood, the royality of Europe. Everyone is gonna be doing Tequila Turquoise Jello shooters off Paris and Linsey's bellies...Aaron is having a "Montezuma Moment", he will be the new Aztec King of the Tequila Empire.

Elvira has taken her broom outta the garage and flown over to Isa & Rod's. She is filling the missus in on the memo, that Gavi will be attending all the functions with Rod. Isa maybe a tiny bit concerned...but not really. Elvira is an employee and Isa does not share the news that the Rod literally only works for Gavi (see they don't know like we informed viewers that Marianna Franco and Gavi are one in the same).

Now cut to Pillar and Sofia (continuing my tradition of describing what every proper young miss wears...I must tell you Sofia is wearing a black turtle neck with a blue plaid skirt...straight from the Fall Fashion Mag's circa 1963)....Pillar tells her she has a letter. Sofia is all "Goody, Goody..."
a screeching halt to her glee, she sees it is from James, she tears it into pieces without even opening it....Pillar is muy impacted, no seriously this time she really is muy impacted, I mean I know she always looks muy impacted...but...she asks Sofia what is up? Sofia answers she doesn't want to read Jame's trash. Oh come on Sofia, I sure he was nice when he dumped you for a poor peasant girl.

Now we see James at "Dry Gulch Acres", he is talking to Acacia, she asks him about the girl he was dancing with at the fiesta (that would be sourpuss Sofia), he tells her it was nothing, he only loves Acacia. I feel no matter what baggage Acacia brings, it has got to be way better than Sofia...I am rootin for these two crazy kids.

Now we go back to DF, Rod is sitting outside Gavi's apartment doing his basic stalker act...
She is upstairs talkin to Ma...She tells Ma about Isa wanting to be her BFF, and how Isa wants Gavi to help keep Rod in DF, sooooos they can set about producing a little varon.
Clara scoffs, she tells Gavi it takes two to tango and Rod ain't gonna do it cause he has been "Gavized". Gavi feels bad after all Isa confided in her. ***This is what happens when a kid is home schooled or whatever, they don't learn the stealin somebody's boyfriend tricks..the rest of us were privy to in Middle School***

Rod goes home and apparently he is still suffering from his most recent psychotic break...he is muttering to himself and acting slightly more crazy than usual, though it is getting so hard to tell. Rod doesn't want any dinner just coffee in the study. Isa wanders off and Rod is back to having his "Crazy Talk" conversation with himself and rooting thru his bag for the personal agenda of Gavi. Now he has his coffee and Isa comes back in again. He quickly covers his pack rat behavior, Isa does not seem to notice...like anything this guy would do would be surprising at this point. He asked her about her convo with Marianna. Isa says she thinks it would be a great idea to invite Marianna & her NOVIO over for dinner, in a truly HannaBarbara moment..Anvils everywhere...Rod nearly chokes on his Folgers. He covers and says, "contre, why would we do that?" "Well," says Isa, "She is a swell gal and you just can't have enough buds." Rod says stick with Sofia & Minnie, Marianna is an employee.

Isa leaves and Rod can ransack his bag again...now he finds the personal agenda....the first page is all mushy stuff about besos, love, I can't forget you...blah blah blah,****once again he sees her on the page, but it is small like a Gavi Ipod, not full Gavi TV....Rod has that sappy smile, he turns the page...there are two different guys names on the next page.....
****I think Clarita after her endless hours of TeleNovela watching, probably told her when you write in your diary with sparkle pens and dot the i's with hearts...and then you leave it lying around your workplace where any AssHat can read it, Well be sure not to put your bosses name as the receiver of said heartfelt declarations, just look what happened to Lety!!!!****
Now more crazy talk between crazy Rod and his crazy self...He is muy impacted with jealousy..

Meanwhile back at the Hacienda...Hilario is being set to the big city with some important bank papers for Rod to sign. His parents send him off with kisses, a lunch and blessing...you'd think he was gonna try to cross the Rio Grande.

Next Day.................

Isa is in the apartment standing around in her robe, she is sending the help out with a list for a special dinner for Rod, the help has to go to San Juan (which I assume to be a neighborhood in DF..she even gives her the money for a taxi)...Isa plans to call dried up crone Sofia, to come help our & spread good fertility vibes while the cooking is done....
RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
It's the doorbell, OMG it is Hilario...he explains that he has papers for El Patron....Isa hushes him up with a liplock and the vertical mambo is about to go horizontal...

At the Tequila headquarters, the offices is in shambles, people are pulling up sofa cushions, emptying trash...Ahhhhh the Personal Agenda de Marianna is missing....Rod comes into this and starts making it a joke...call the police, is there a ransom note? Pay whatever is asked to get it back. Gavi is totally stressed...Dear Diary...nuff said...Handy Man guy tells her the only person in her office was Rod...The light goes on. She starts to follow Rod into his office when Elvira gives her the memo that says she has to attend every function with Rod....Oh baby bring it on..Gavi goes raging into Rod's office..he says it is part of her job...they argue, they hiss, they fight..Swarmy Onate comes in and Rod signs yet another piece of paper and Gavi follows up with out of course reading any of the details. I'm sure this is for the 5% Agave Tequila 95% rubbing alcohol shipment...I have visions of millions of Americans wandering around blind and crazy, then the Mexican invade and we can't stop them, poisoned by bad hootch. Seriously these people may just be too stupid to live...
The fight continues...either do your job or Rod will find someone who will...then in a completely twelve year old manner, Rod opens a folder and ducks down so she can't see his big grin. Gavi asks what time she should be ready and oh yeah she wants her agenda back...so there.

Aaron is kicked back and livin large in Miami, he is on the phone and they will be shipping 200,000 mil bottles of crap Tequila to Europe. Aaron is gleeful and wearing a pastel jacket throws the phone down...Oh Aaron I fear you are tempting the Gods.

Isa is pulling the straps up on her nightie and Hilario is pulling on his boots...(everytime these two hook up, it is so B movie porn, the stable boy, the plumber, now the delivery boy)...he is all serious cause he loves her, she is like "Dude, it was just a romp on the sofa"...by the by wouldn't Sofia just die, if she knew where she was sitting? Think about what if Miami Vice's Horatio had to come and do DNA, Aaron, Hilario probably Horatio....Hilario wants to tell El Patron, what a traitor Hilario is...Isa advises against it...she shruggs...kids what are you gonna do?

Minnie is on the phone with Isa...she tells her not to trust Marianna, she will sleep her way to the top. Seriously Minnie needs to give it a rest and turn her inner energy in producing some viable eggs and pronto.

Hilario shows up at the headquarters, Rod is out and he sits waiting in the Lobby, Gavi comes out and tells Margarita that she is gonna take off to get ready for the function. She sees Hilario and she is Muy Impacted...she hides but lost in his thoughts of after hawt sex with Isa...Hilario doesn't see her.

Gavi goes home and Clara must be out running the streets, Gavi does a quick little prayer to the Virgencita (who must be really tired of these people and their petty problems)...

Rod is at a cafe talking to Videgaray. Vid tells Rod not to trust Onate, of course that is beyond Rod, Vid warns him about a snake. Hey Rod doesn't have time to worry about the company..he has mujer problemos....Rod starts quizzing Vid about the men that MariAnna had written in her agenda. Vid says Marianna is a mystery, he knows nothing about her, other than she lives with her mother...

Back at the headquarters, Hilario hooks up with Rod...Rod gives him a big hug, Awkward...
Rod takes care of the paperwork and Hil tells him he is going to quit....Now Rod is muy Impacted...you can't you must stay and help your Pa...Why oh Why....
Hilario says "Because I have failed you"

Stay tuned...

Looks like Aaron is gonna be committin some Vice with Pamela in Miami....

Thanks Beckster for the fabulous recap! Loved your comment about Ms. Isadora bedazzling her jeans.:)
 

Are you this funny in real life? I howled. I liked the part when Hilario, all earnest, told Isa: "I maybe can't give you quite this life of luxury but I'm a man who can work with his two hands," heh.
 

Thanks - wonderful recap - much better than the actual show - I loved the comments about them being too busy for real work. Rod doesn't seem to be thinking much about the business.
 

Love the recaps. The shows should hire you as a writer, much better than thinking these people can be real. Might as well go all the way and really make it funny. Melanie
 

Thanks for the recap.
The TWB and Hilario secret is takin to long to be discovered am on edge here waitin on the D Day.

The creep guy workin for Aaron Onate is he in Duelo de stupidos
 

Beckster, that was Hilario-us. These people are all totally nuts, which is what makes them so fun to watch. And makes your recap so fun to read. Muchas gracias!
 

I think that was the funniest recap of all time. Not sure if it was the bedazzler joke, the staircase joke, the Lane Bryant catalog, the bouncing ball, the Montezuma moment, etc etc etc... but I'm going to print this one out and hang it on the wall at home.

Seriously, I wish I'd had it with me at the dentist's this morning.
 

Funny you should mention the stuff about Lety's diary. I was thinking last night that the similarities between this and LFMB are actually too many to count. Not surprising since it's the same guy, but still, it's amazing how much mileage you can get out of the same story "family business with competing relatives gets managed by interloping lower-class woman who steals the rightful owner's heart" or whatever.

As for Hilario and the B-porn, I don't see why they can't just have him delivering pizzas and be done with it. He and TWB could have their own spin-off series.
 

I loved this line:
"Gavi goes home and Clara must be out running the streets, Gavi does a quick little prayer to the Virgencita (who must be really tired of these people and their petty problems)..."
 

Hilario-us! Nicely done. :)
 

I love how you just go for the jugular on all the characters. Another excellent recap Beckster. Thanks for the laughs...and so many of them!
 

Thanks Beckster...your recaps are always a treat. Now I have a tedious little vocabulary question. In the scene with Isadora, Hilario says "me enamorado hasta las cachas"...looking up "cachas" didn't give me much. Does anybody have an idiomatic translation for this phrase? Thanks in advance.

How old is Rod supposed to be? I am constantly surprised by his lack of libido and his jumping around like an ape (his size doesn't help either how the heck tall is that guy?) But even though it was juvenile, he does have a nice smile and he only pulls it out for Gavi!
 

The online Yahoo Spanish dictionary has:

hasta las cachas
figurative, colloquial up to one's neck, up to here

@ http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dict_en_es/
 

You got that right, Anon 1:53!
 

Beckster, you did it again. This recap was so well written and so funny until I took notes. First, the Lane Bryant catalog comment Next, the large teardrops crystals that just scream CLASS. Next, the vertical mambo is about to go horizontal. Finally, Rod doesn't have time to worry about the company, he has mujer problemas. Too clever, too funny. On the serious side, thanks for interpreting Rod's remark to Isa ..Stick with Minnie and Sofia, Marianna is an employee.. I wondered about that. Also, I thought I had missed something when Hillario got such a grand send off for an ordinary task. But it seems that's just his family's trend. I agree with the person who said the recap was better than the episode itself.
 

Yanez is 6'3"
 

thanks for the great recap Beckster!

While I was watching Rod play with his little red bouncing ball, I was flashing back to MDF's Rod and his little red and white ball.


J.R. :)
 

I was thinking about that too... Mundo's Rogelio had a lot of pent up energy, just like Rod.
 

Thanks Anonymous 1 and 2 for the translations of "hasta las cachas"...I always rely on books (didn't grow up with computers) and I forget that there's another way to find idiomatic expressions. Many thanks.

Isa's look is more popular than ever! On my way to work today, I saw a woman with ice blond hair, a dress up to here, and turquoise blue glittery platform shoes on her way to work..
 

Thank you all for your...comments..these people are just the best to recap on...better than Mundo (although I still have that little warm spot for Damien)...Yeah the same writer that did LFMB is doing this one..the columbian guy...maybe cause this is a columbian remake..the other one was coffee...Tequila is much more fun...I guess they coulda done a big coke plantation & that would have been jovial too. Anyway if I was writing this nonsense I would have way better time doing this one than LFMB..
 

Beckster, thanks for making my day! You're so funny and clever, as they say you have the touch.

Onate gives me the creeps, he would be the type to wear really heavy cologne, dispensing his candy and compliments...

eggsellent as always, beckster! Thanks!
 

As usual, a great and funny recap, Beckster!

It will be very interesting if Isa turns out to be preggars from Aaron or Hilario! How will she explain "artificial insemination" then???????
 

Great recap Beckster. I laughed more times than I can count - TWB's jean being classy (and as of late she's been putting the W in TWB), Sophie's fashion circa 1963, the staircase...it was all very good. Thanks for making the episode better than it was.

Karen
 

I don't care what anyone says about Rod. I think I have a crush on him (only when he is all dressed up). Even though I won't tell my husband, who happens to watch with me.
