I Love Juan, Thur 4/10 - Behind the Green Door
Ahoy all, as usual I encourage you to comment with corrections and assistance if you see I've not gotten it right. I definitely had a couple of Que the hell? moments with some of the phrases.
(Muchas Gracias to you commenters who helped with my vocab questions!! I've corrected/updated them in the recap and vocab list.)
From last night: Pastor warns Creamsicle (Heriberto) about that perverse demon Ivonne who collects men's...hearts. Ana asks Paula to have mercy on Nidia and Paula reveals that she had already decided not to press charges. Juan is late picking up Juanito from school and when he finally arrives Juanito is long gone. Meanwhile Juanito runs from the bullies and almost runs off a cliff. He teeters precariously...
...And finally manages to catch his balance. Juanito runs again and the chase continues as he hears the thuglets yelling in the background.
Pepita Pomposo (wouldn't that be the perfect name for a Chihuahua?) tells Lorenzo that she'll be lonely in the big bed without him. She didn't mean to insult him, she only wanted him to expand his horizons. He continues to pack his bag and they begin negotiations. She'll let him go play chess with his pals once a week if he agrees to remain. He counters with three times a week or he's leaving. She accuses him of emotional blackmail. No, he responds, just equal conditions.
Paula tells Ana that she wants the Cachon house, nothing more, nothing less. Ana makes the unhappy face.
Lorenzo tells Pepita that until she accepts his conditions he'll stay elsewhere. They need time to reflect. If she changes her mind she knows where to find him. He bids her a goodbye with all the sadness in his soul.
Nidia reports to Angarita that Ana is a saint to forgive her. She hopes Ana can convince Paula to do the same. She tells an unbelieving Anga that Alirio is being a real hero for taking the rap for their thievery.
Ana feels that Paula taking the Cachon house is too much. They aleady have a nice house. Paula feels that taking the house is the bare minimum. She announces she plans to resign from Angarita and work at Farell. Back to her greed, er I mean her inheritance, Paula insists it's not about the money, but rather about justice. Samuel wanted her to have the house and the thieves must pay.
Anga guffaws and tells Nidia that Alirio turning himself in is the very least he can do for putting Nidia into her current situation. (I do recall Nidia complying.) Nidia sticks up for Alirio which irritates Anga. Hooray for the hero, he says, let's order cake and a clown! He insists that this is just another of Alirio's traps, this time not for the money but for Nidia's bones, and she's falling right into it.
Cut to Alirio in his ridiculous disguise. He's at a counter either buying or pawning something. Anybody got any ideas?
Back to the lover's spat, Nidia vows that she intends to make things right with Las Davila. Anga is sceptical, how will she feel when she has to sell her clothes, her TV, and everything else that she bought with the money that isn't hers?! They glare at each other.
Juanito runs down an alley and backs into a cute little girl who has just walked out of a greenish blue door. The thuglets are hollering just out of sight. Juanito looks terrified.
Pepita hears a knock. Is it Lorenzo? No, it's Juan and he's looking for Juanito. Santo Niño de Atocha, where is he where is he where is he?
Pepita answers that Lorenzo left and Juanito was never with him. Did Juan check at school? Juan thought-bubbles that his head was full of bad thoughts, where was his son?
Back in the alley, the thuglets can't find Juanito. He must be somewhere! They look around and see someone peeking through a curtain next to the green door. They pound their fists into their hands in a threatening manner.
Juan calls the school and nobody has seen Juanito. Juan decides to call the police.
The cute girl has come out of the house and faces the thuglets. No, she insists, she hasn't seen anyone. "You haven't seen a guy around here with the face of an idiot?" the head bully asks. "Yes I have," she snaps, "right in front of me!" The other two bullies howl with laughter. Head bully says they'll search her house. She confidently tells them fine, if they can deal with Max...her dog. She calls Max and a loud snarling ensues. After the thuglets run away Juanito emerges and snarls a cute little "Thanks for saving me" to his adorable heroine.
Nidia has taken a different tack in her argument with Angarita. She felt the money was hers because Samuel put the horns on her all those years. Anga points out she no longer sounds repentant, but rather a bit confused. He says she'll never change, all her praise for Alirio sounds like pure tongue taco (all talk). Anga sounds jealous and scolds Nidia, does she think that Alirio is doing the right thing? She answers, yes partly. She adds that Alirio is scoring points with her, he's fighting for her without giving her lessons in morality. He's doing what would make Angarita quake like a chicken. He tells her to be very careful what she says. She mocks him some more and he tells her to beat it if she's going to insult him. "Hasta nunca, Mr. Pepper Counter" she snips. (Señor Don Cuenta Chiles) "Hasta Nunca Madam Trickster (Señora Trácala), I hope you're very happy with your caged coyote (coyote enjaulado)," he retorts. "And you as the lone dog!" she answers, puncuating her come-back with a chest hoist and a flip of her hair.
Juan decides to head back to the school while Pepita mans the phones in case the police call.
Juanito pushes his new friend on a swing and tells her his tale of woe. One on one he could easily take those bad boys, but when they gang up on him he doesn't have a chance. They introduce themselves. Her name is Floripines al Sagrado Corazon, Flor for short. She's impressed he can growl like a real dog. He says he learned it from the coyotes on his grandmother's land. She asks him to stay for tacos but Juanito says he'd better go back to school to look for his dad. He winks at her which makes her blush and giggle. Oh those Dominguez boys!
At the market, Kike gives a ton of work tasks to the note-taking Remolacho. They are interrupted by Yadira who coos to Nidia Michaela. The baby smiles and claps her hands at mommy.
Paula meets with her lawyer. She wants her divorce ASAP. The lawyer advises her that since CL left the country with no intent to return they can file a divorce for abandonment. After a certain time if CL doesn't show up she's a free woman. Paula looks relieved.
Julia tries to pump Marely for information on Yadi and Kike. Marely tells her to mind her own business. Julia sneers behind Marely's back.
Kike assures Yadira that the baby is fine. In fact Remolacho loves her so much he's practically her nanny. (I notice that Remolacho's hair no longer looks like a sea fan.) Yadi asks if the three of them can go have lunch...her, Kike and the baby (not her, Kike and Remolacho as Kike first thought).
Pastor sees Ivonne and Julia in the empty lobby and asks where is everyone? It's emptier than Cuautec on Mondays. (Couldn't find any info on Cuautec except that it's a neighborhood in the DF. Maybe it's super busy on Sundays and empty on Mondays because everybody goes to work?) He makes a note that Marely left after he specifically told her to stick around. He remembers when the offices were always full...those were the days.
Yadira's true intent is revealed, she wants Kike to talk to Juan about hiring her. Kike agrees and she blows him a kiss. He looks smitten.
Juan drives and worries that Juanito doesn't know his way around this maze of asphalt. Suddenly he sees his little son sitting on the curb. Juan looks truly stricken as he leaps out of the car, picks Juanito up and embraces and kisses him. (Note: Juan gives good hugs!)
Marely goes home to tell Nidia her news. "Good or bad?" asks Nidia apprehensively. Marely thinks it's good; she ate with Paula and...Nidia stops her and wants a shot of tequila first. Marely refuses and cuts to the news - Paula has decided not to press charges! Nidia squeals happily, that Pauli is a chip off the old block, a heart of gold, a saint like her mother. Marely reluctantly adds that in exchange Paula wants Nidia to hand over Casa Cachon. "Daughter of Marx!" hisses Nidia.
Nidia dramatically exclaims she'll be sleeping on a park bench! She asks Marely to try to convince Paula on her behalf. Nidia will give up anything, but please not her house. Where will they live, Nidia, Marely, Kike and the baby? (And aren't the Juans staying there too?)
Juan 'scolds' Juanito for running off and scaring dad so badly. This city isn't like Achichipico, the streets are dangerous! Can't Juanito see how much agony and desperation he put his papi through? Juanito explains that the bullies were after him again and were about to give him a good thrashing, but then Flor hid him. No, she's not from school, she lives nearby. Juanito babbles while Juan bubbles that of course in his son's adventure there has to be a woman in the story, eh? He's the son of a tiger all right. Juan smiles proudly as they head for Farell.
Paula is at the cemetery apologizing to her papa's grave. Good Lord, she kisses the slab and asks his forgiveness.
Yadira and Kike agree it was nice to talk for once without being at each other's throats. (Ha, probably because Yadira needs something.) Yadi agrees it's been good to catch a breath and see things from a distance without fighting all day. Kike doesn't like to think of her with that, that... She calms him down and says it's for the best. They can be friends, right? They hug goodbye, she'll see them tomorrow. Kike comments to Remolacho that she still loves him, and can Remolacho change the niña's diaper?
Paula gives Angarita her resignation, she's needed at Farell. Anga thanks her for her consideration of Nidia, for having listened, and for her heart. Paula actually smiles very sweetly at him.
Pastor convinces Heriberto that he has the same rights as Juan Dominguez. He leads Heriberto in a rousing cheer of "Yo si puede, Yes I can!" Pastor smacks his lips as Heriberto leaves the office. Mmmmmmm...creamsicle!
Heriberto strolls by Ivonne; Julia comments on this fine man, so dreamy! Ivonne says she needs her eyes examined.
Heriberto goes to Juan's office and waxes effusively on the grandeur, big chair, computer, a name plaque, everything! He eventually gets to the point - When will it be his turn to get on this horse???
Ivonne goes to Pastor's office as he's inspecting his girth. He asks her is his stomach fat? No no, of course not, you're very handsome she answers. Pastor admits to Ivonne that he completely dissed her to Heriberto. Ivonne is aghast, how could he impugne her reputation in front of just anyone? Pastor corrects her, not just anybody, the man of his life! Ivonne gets angry and tells Pastor it's not she he should worry about but Julia. And yes, he does have a fat stomach! Pastor buttons his jacket and sucks it in.
Heriberto blusters to Juan that he wants a piece of the action. Juan tries to ply him with big pink marshmallows but to no avail. Heriberto says they are partners, right? So this is what he wants, at the very least he should be made Vice President! Juan guffaws, caray caray caray caray, what? Heri seethes, either Juan makes him a VP or he will tell his Papa to demand back the money that Juan used to buy this little stand. Agreed?
Juan is Que the hell? impactado.
And Cesar Luis is either sharkbait or he has the worst pulled groin muscle in the world.
Mañana - Laura tries to get her clutches into Juan.

You were in rare form, Sylvia. Love the "thuglets" tage. Pepita Pomposo would be cute for a chihuahua but man, I'd get tired rolling that one out every time I called the dog. Guess chihuahuas don't get too far away, anyhow.
No idea what "taco de lengua" is, although lengua could also be translated as "language". Maybe Maricruz could help us with this one.
In a previous show, "mandarina" was used to indicate a beating or a thrashing, so I think maybe Juanito was explaining to his dad that the "thuglets" (love it!) were after him to give him a "madarina".
Still, I was mightily distracted last night and you cleared up a lot I missed.
"Behind the green door" reminded me of a strange childrens story I read once. There was a green door in a room, and when you walked through it, you were in a different world where everything was backwards.
Anyway, that cute little girl looked very spiffy and well-fed for living in that place. And I was so glad our little Juanito got rescued without getting beaten up again. I don't mind the cliff-hangers with the adults but I hate, hate, hate any scenes involving child bullying or baby switching. Unbearable.
I'm guessing Alirio was at the pawn shop trying to get money to finance Gutis' escape. But that's strictly a guess.

JudyB you are so right about "mandarina", I fixed it. Thanks! I think you must also be right about Alirio, he seemed on a quest of some sort.
Thankfully, this telenovela has been much kinder to children than some of the others. Remember in Mundo de Fieras how the evil mother boiled her son like a lobster so that she could pretend to be distraught? Or in Barerra de Amor how Doña Juana kept putting her illigitimate grandbaby on the window sill at night hoping it would catch cold and die? Ick.

See...that's exactly why I couldn't watch either of those telenovelas. Even the previews made me queasy.
Basically I'm an emotional wuss who can't stand any story with a really evil, evil person. I stayed away from Pasion for that reason, though have indulged in a few peeks lately since it's ultimas capitulos. But then they snatched Camila's baby...unbearable!...so I quit watching again. Wuss, wuss wuss...what can I say?

Thank you, sylvia, for the terrific translation. You saved my butt, as usual.
My yes, how children have suffered at the hands of telenovelagods. The poor little officer's daughter on DUELO that was abducted by the novela maldita, starved and handed off to child slavery traffickers, not to mention that same maldita dangling her baby over a raging river and threatening to drop it if fake baby-daddy didn't come back to her.
And this doesn't really count as such, but it's always stuck out in my head as particularly heinous--an unborn child met its doom in Rubi because maldita started a fight with pregnant woman on a glass bridge and continued until bridge broke, pregnant woman fell and was impaled. Yikes.
For some reason, I have been only interested in Juanito's story lately. I just love that kid. I too am so glad Juan found him before idiots/thuglets got a piece of him again.

Dear Sylvia you saved me once again. I haven't been able to watch and your recap is a great substitute, I would say some times the recaps are even better than the actual Novela ;) Any way, you are right about "Tacos de lengua" it means "all talk and no action" also when somebody lies a lot they are called "lengua larga".
About "cuenta chiles" I think she was referring to the fact that he works at the market place.
Judyb, I’m too a wuss. My children and husband don’t understand why sometimes I get so upset. It bothers them sometimes because the selection of movies or TV programs that we can watch together is very short. I feel better knowing that I’m not alone.

I think NIdia is too too outrageous calling Anga a counter of chiles, like he is a mere green grocer! Humph! She is too easy to forgive the slimeball lawyer Alirio she is shackled to also. She may need Anga really soon if Paula's revenge mode advances to her seizing Nidia's house. I decided that Paula is proving she is the true blood daughter of Samuel since his vindictive will is so ugly, but Paula is so sanctimonious about kissing her father's grave when she treated him badly in life except when she was taking, taking, taking. I am glad that Ana is a counterpoint in her life. Not that she has listened to Ana's other sage advice: like don't marry that slimball Cesar Luis. I wonder if it will be the big hearted Ana to admit that Samuel did a nasty thing to his legitimate family before committing the ultimately selfish act of suicide. I wonder, I wonder.
Heee heee thuglets...
Heee heee chihuahua name....
Thanks for the funnies Sharkbait, well that CL, just like him to keep us hanging!!!
Maybe the production team ran out of money in Canada so they have to delay a bit, or wash some dishes first.... :)

Thanks everybody for your help with my vocabulary questions. I KNEW you folks would have the answers.
Oh Stephe, I had forgotton about some of those examples of dreadful child treatment. That is one of the precise reasons why I like this show. Even the poor little alley girl looks well-fed as JudyB noted.
Cheryl, I'll bet you're right. Ana will probably be instrumental in saving the Cachon house for Nidia.
Heh, whaddya wanna bet that CL decided to have another shot of courage before he jumped? And another, and another...

Sylvia, I too think Cesar Luis will get side tracked going for some more liquid courage. What a loser. Actually these writers have given us two heavy drinkers although Nidia seems to be in early recovery and is blaming her guilt and worry on her compulsion to drink. CL doesn't seem to be doing any self analysis on any subject including why he is drinking like a fish. I guess it beats swimming with the fishes.
Ah, Cap'n Sharkbait, you're a recapmeister! This was indeed an example of you in rare form, as Cheryl noted. Thanks so much! We needed this!
"Thuglets" ROTFL!!!
"Behind the Green Door reminds me of something but I have a strange suspicion it wasn't a children's story. My, my, what could that be?
Hooray for the little heroine--Juanito's second love. What a nice name--Flor. Hm, vaguely reminiscent.....but this one's a real winner and stands those thuglets off.
I've been on a boat like that one CL is on now--to Victoria, BC, which is on Vancouver Island off the coast. The boat I took had 250 deafblind folks and all of us support service providers (read that interpreters/sighted guides). I bet CL ends up at the Empress Hotel. Unless, of course, he ends up in the drink. No, I take that back, he's already been in the drink. Unless he ends up in Davy Jones' locker.

'Jito and Flor were SO adorable together! I hope we see more of these two. I'm a sucker for the sweet stuff, and it sounds like I'm in good company in also being very loathe to watch anything that has ugliness/violence. CL's rages toward women is nearly my limit of tolerance, let alone bad stuff happening to innocent chillens.
I hope before Yo Amo ends, someone will point me toward another novela that is suitable SFW. (Suitable for Wimps!)

Treebelly, my Grandaddy always called us chillens. He was raised in Georgia, according to what I've heard. So cute!

"...wonders how a man with a full escort keeps getting attacked by bandits" That is so funnieeee!
And Lis and Fran's faces hearing the screaming(?) like the flip sides of a coin, had me howling! Yes I know thats not nice. *Belly jumpin laughter here.*
Now Lis knows the house rule is tell nobody nothin but she was all too thrilled to dump the beans she knew on Jorge. I think she was cackling! Me too Lis. Right now he can't even hobble after you let alone run! BREAK THE SILENCE!
