Dinero #56 April 5, 2010: Of cocktails and fine Hindu dining

Rafa excitedly takes a call from Magda. She informs him where the cocktail will be tonight and where he will be able to encounter president Lemaitre and his wife. She tells Rafa she hopes she wont regret this. Rafa assures her she won’t. Rafa wants to know how he is going to get in. Magda says that will be his problem. It will take a miracle if he pulls it off.

Marco is on the phone with Ale. He would like to whisk her away for the night. This isn’t going to happen. They need to discuss the wedding plans with Jorge and Tia at Ales’ house. Ale is uncomfortable about taking more money from Marco for the wedding. Ale hangs up and appears very tired. Marco has a worried look on his face and is not happy.

Rafa is trying to get advise on how to enter the cocktail from none other than Ramirez. Ramirez tells him he doesn’t have a chance on getting in. Rafa is determined to get in. Ramirez tells him that getting into the executive club would be a dream come-true for Rosaura Rafa thanks Ramirez for the great advice and heads off to talk with Rosaura. She gives him the gossip and doesn’t miss the opportunity to include her stay in Miami.

Susana tells Rafa Ale is looking for him. Then she encounters Dandy with his finished reports. She wants to pick his marvelous homeopathic brain, in particular about the essential oil he was using on Claudia. He tells her that auto Siglo isn’t the best place to talk and suggests they go some where else. Susana thinks they should go to this great Hindu restaurant. Dandy looks a little nervous about this but agrees.

After Susana leaves the Siglo crew all rush Dandy and wants the scoop. He tells them he has a date with Susana. He asks them for something and they misunderstand and thinks he wants money. What he wants is meat, after all he is going to a vegetarian restaurant.

Vicky calls. She calls to support Rafa and tells him that no matter what time he gets home she will always be there for him and that she will support him in any way possible and in her sweet gentle voice apologizes if she has interrupted him. NOT!!(Just seeing if you are all paying attention). She calls screaming and wants to know when he will be home. She tells him they are having supper with her papa. Rafa tells her that he cant make it. Vicky is not happy. Papa wont be happy.

Rafa tells her his plan to get a new client. Vicky does not believe him. He tries to explain if he can make this sale he can leave Siglo. Vicky screams and hangs up.

Ale encounters Rafa. He tries to explain to her about the cocktail. She chews him out telling him that Fiestas are is specialty . Ale wants him in her office now. Susana asks Ale if she can leave. She tells her to go ahead, she is just going to kill Rafa.

Dandy is waiting for Susana and the Siglo crew is wishing Dandy luck. He goes to give her his arm and she walks off ahead of him. We are off to a good start here Dandy boy.

Ale wants to know about the cocktail. She wants to know if he was invited? She is all excited and wants to see the invitation. Rafa tells her he wasn’t exactly invited. Ale wants to know how in the devil he is going to get in. Rafa tells Ale he doesn’t know how he is going to do this but he will. Ale gives him “productive criticism” and tells him not to act stupid while he is there.

Rafa tells her he off to hunt his lions. He tells her after all he is well dressed, showing off his fine duds that Ale paid for. Ale finally agrees to let him go and wishes him good luck, because if he makes this sale they wont have to deal with each other. They both have a sad face at this thought as Rafa leaves.

Rosaura has great gossip to share with the Siglo crew. Ale is getting married. They get all reminiscing and recall fond memories of the last time they went to Trancazo when Ale was going to get married.(or something like that). We have a little stroll down memory lane. They all decide they had so much fun, why not go and celebrate again.

Dandy and Susana have arrived at the Hindu restaurant. Susana, with grace and ease sits on the floor. Dandy on the other hand is not quite so graceful.


We are at the cocktail and Rafa tries to bluff his way in. He is having no luck despite trying many different tricks. He even tries to attach himself to another couple but this does not work.

He finally leaves the reception area and tries to come up with a plan. He has entered the basement (I think that is where he went) and is mistaken for a worker and is thrown an apron. Could this be Rafas’ ticket. Rafa has made it into the cocktail and is pretending like he belongs there.

Dandy and Susana are enjoying drinks. Well anyway Susana is. Dandy is not having the best time. He complains of his back hurting. Susana goes to help and starts one of her famous massages and cracks his neck. I don’t think Dandy was expecting this and I don’t think it helped.

Marco is showing everyone the wedding plans. He is dressed in full scarf. Ale accuses Marco of smelling of alcohol. He says it is medicine. Rosario wants to know about the honeymoon. Ale says she cant get away from work. She says they could settle for going away Saturday night and returning on Sunday. Rosario says it sounds more like a negotiation agenda then a wedding. Ale is looking over the guest list and realizes Urdiales' name is not on the list. She asks Marco about it and Marco almost coughs up a lung.

Rafa continues his little charade and asks the waiter where the president is. He is mingling like the best of them. He almost gets discovered by the young women from the reception area who would not let him in earlier. Rafa looks for a hiding spot.

Ale is still amazed that Urdiales isn’t on the list. Quick thinking Marco comes up with a great story. He says Urdiales will be out of town. Jorge wants to know if Marcos’ parents are going to be there. Marco looks uncomfortable at this and Ale apologizes that Jorge has forgotten. Jorge wants to know what he has forgotten. Marco is in full lie mode Marco says his mother’s health his poor and dad cant leave her. They have to stay in the US. Marco just coughed up another lung.

Rafa continues his party crashing. He pretends he knows everyone and starts schmoozing He even is able to insinuate himself into a photo. He has discovered that the president hasn’t arrived yet. He hands out his calling cards.

Marco and Ale are discussing where they will be living after the wedding. Ale says of course they will be staying at her house. Marco is not happy with this idea. Ale does not want to live in his apartment and they are not going to discuss it. Besides they don’t have money for another apartment. She tells them when things get better they can make other plans. Than she says when Rafa comes through with what he owes them. This sets Marco off. He tells her not to be so optimistic. Ale says it isn’t optimism. She says today he has risen to the occasion and smiles. Marco is not smiling.


We have a final Vicky call. This time she is crazier than ever. We have a little Sybil going on. Rafa is trying his hardest to continue to blend into the cocktail and converse with nutcase. She finally asks him to sing to her. This calms her down a little. As Rafa is whistling into the phone, the president of Refri is announced and walks past Rafa. This is where we end.

Comments:
Hi, I have to work in the morning so this one was really brief. I just typed it up as I was watching it. I think I have made comments longer then this recap.
So I know I missed a lot of details. so hope everyone adds what I missed in comments.
 

Thanks for the recap Pata. It doesn't look that short to me. It looks like you covered everything.

I don't think Dandy liked the prices at the restaurant either. It looked like Susanna's move almost broke his neck. :)

It looks like Rafa may show up in the paper since he was in that picture. He was handing out a few business cards, too. Maybe more sales later on?

A long standing hicky for Marco. Scarf getting a lot of work.
 

Thanks for covering yet again, Pata. Your recap was plenty detailed considering some of the filler we got, especially with the Siglo crew flashbacks.

Marco, Marco, Marco. When will he learn what a band-aid is? Running around in that huge scarf when all he needs to do is slap on a band-aid and say he slipped shaving. Is it wrong that I'm trying to help the "villain" plot a way out of his lies? Hmm...

But I have been cheering, "Go, Rafa, go!" about this sale since last week so I guess that makes up for it. :-)
 

"Vicky calls. She calls to support Rafa and tells him that no matter what time he gets home she will always be there for him and that she will support him in any way possible and in her sweet gentle voice apologizes if she has interrupted him.". Pata, you almost got me with this! I was confused. Hey, April Fool's Day was over with several days ago.

Recapping while watching. You are approaching the heights of our incredible recapper mom, Melinama. I'm impressed and still grateful for taking on this double workload.

Barbara
 

thanks pata! I agree, there was a lot of filler in this episode so you got all the main points - considering this tn has been extended ad infinitum, we can come to expect a lot of filler - making it possible to write the recaps during the commercials! Readers: if somebody would like to take over Monday for Pata, let me know.
 

Thank you for the recap Pata. I think you covered all the main points in the show (and wrote it while watching, wow!).

Jeff, I'm looking forward to Licenciado Medina in the papers. The pictures taking was pretty funny. I hope our Rafa will do well with the "big boss".

I just have a quick question about Marco. From what I gathered, Urdiales does not exist. So is Marco working anywhere? How does he make living? What about his parents? Yesterday was the first time I heard about them. Are they really in the US?
 

Maria, all I'm sure of about Marco's job is that he's supposed to be a lawyer but we've never seen him do any actual work. Urdiales does exist (we saw him at a restaurant where Marco and Ale were eating a few weeks ago) but he and Marco don't know each other. As far as his parents go, last night was the first time we've heard about them. Considering Marco's track record, I'd say he probably lied about them.
 

Thank you Flores for the info about Marco. I remember now reading in the recap about the dinner scene with Urdiales. I missed the episode and I have more of a visual memory.
 

Hi, and your all welcome.

I didn't mean that I just typed up the whole recap while I was watching. I am not that good. I meant I typed my notes this time while I was watching instead of writing them out. Then I fine tuned it watching it a second time. It actually made it a lot easier for me. I wish I could type it all up during the comercials like you Melinama. During the comercials I am frantically looking up all the words I didn't understand.

So any takers out there for the Monday night? I am sure there will be some Gancho recappers going through withdrawal once Gancho is finished. This is a fun story.

Sorry about the Vicky bit. Couldn't resist. Didn't mean to confuse anyone. It was just my little dream sequence of how I would like to see Vicky behave.

I don't think we have heard anything about Marcos' parents but I am sure he is lying about them. He sure seems jealous of Rafa, as well he should be.
