Caray, Caray!

It's dog eat dog at Auto Siglo. Moustache man, jealous that Don Carlos Lopez is sealing a deal tomorrow to sell ten trucks, watches Claudia moaning to said Carlos as she thrusts her breasts up his nose and moans: "Alexandra is going to fire me, I am three or four commissions short of my quota, and my whole family depends on me, even my poor old aunt in the hospital!" She cries unconvincingly and asks the sucker Lopez to accompany her to the bathroom; she waves her butt in his direction and he decides to give her three - then four - of his truck commissions, and she wraps herself around him.

Moustache spies on them and then rats them out to the big boss Beltran. The two rush through the hall and Beltran busts into the bathroom, where he sees the couple against the wall - Claudia's blouse is open.

And Moustache says "In addition, Lopez is neglecting clients in favor of canoodling!"

Elsewhere Susanna is giving Ale a massage. Ale's "nobody can disturb my peaceful moment" sigh is Beltran's cue to rush in and tell her to deal with her people.

She calls in the lovebirds, she yells and waves her crutch. Claudia says she had a fever and therefore loosened her blouse, Lopez says they're novios. Ale says, that is against the regulations - they say they're just friends - she says "intimate bathroom friends are not ok." One has to go: Ale chooses Claudia!

However, Claudia flounces to the boss, pulls her tricks, and he hyperventilates and then tells Ale she has to fire Lopez instead of Claudia.

Big drooling boss is not impressed by the 10 trucks that Lopez has virtually sold - and says, further, that Claudia's miniskirts and open blouses are good for biz. "So you have to fire Lopez, he's the pervert. Now you have to find a new salesman!" "Where will I find another salesman?" she asks herself...

Cut to Rafa, grimly telling ma and sis that he'll marry Vicki. They are skeptical and rather negative. He defends the decision - he and Vicki have been going together for years and he feels for her tenderness, solidarity... His sis mocks him and his mom worries that he's marrying "por interes" (for money).

At Auto Siglo, the salesforce is yakking about romance vs. capitalism. Ale stumps in and gripes that Beltran is keeping "the miniskirt" on the payroll -- and firing Lopez instead.

Ale asks Susanna to prepare Lopez's liquidation papers. In comes Marino, her most detested and pushy salesman, asking who's going to nab the 10-truck deal. "Can't we bury the dead first?" she asks.

Rafa's jailmates are out. I think they run some kind of beauty parlor. In comes a bombshell. They think she's their first customer but actually she's "Ovidia," their new associate.

Poor Lopez packs his stuff as Claudia hangs all over him, squeezing him for his database of clients and, especially, his big buyer. He's called away to Ale, however, and makes a deal: he'll submit his list of clients in exchange for a good letter of recommendation. Ale agrees and has Susanna lock his list in her desk.

Marco comes for her and she yells about her whole day and especially the nerve of Rafa asking for a job. After hearing her out, Marco says he thinks she SHOULD hire Rafa!
