Dinero Monday May 17, 2010 Drink Up And Party Down, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Quite an episode tonight. Party was a bit grim until the Hare Krishnas got there (never thought I'd be writing THAT in a sentence) but all is well with Susana and Dandy now. They're in a blissful alternate universe. Everybody else is still circling their respective drains, but the evening ends with Rafa arriving and Alejandra freezing. And Marino? He's gotta be choking but we don't get to see that until tomorrow.
So how did we get to this dramatic final confrontation? Marcos, put wise by relationship counselor Chavez, has changed his mind and has offered to go with Alejandra to the party. She still wants Susana to come along as well.
Random scene. Sketchy guy at the cantina putting the moves on the romantic but gullible owner. Moving on. Back to to Auto Siglos where a bereft Dandy has his head on the desk, disconsolately waving an incense stick.
Now on to the party which is not starting well. Bebe arrives with his wife. Then Rosaura, with her husband Gabriel who appears to have a giant pole up his nether regions, swans in. And it only gets worse. Now Claudia enters with a random galan who has his eye on her hindquarters the entire time. A lot of kvetching from Gabriel about the absence of whiskey. He can't be expected to drink cheap tequila or rum. That's for po' folks. Ramiro Ay Dios Mio! is bullied into paying for 12 year old whisky with the money for his kids' school tuition. When he's not being pushed around by the guests, his wife is yelling at him from the bedroom. Truly painful.
Almost as painful a scene at Rafa's house. His family, plus Jaime, just can't understand why he'd go back to Auto Siglo and that woman who treated him so badly. He explains how Doña Arcadio, with a presence like the Queen of England, persuaded him to come back...and not only with more money but a promotion! What's not to like? Fine. But screw up your courage to break the news to Vicky!
Our dismal party goes from bad to worse. Marion arrives and it's time for the group to make insinuations about his bromance with Ramirez. The "general," complete with camoflage cap, has brought an exotic looking Cuban poet, puts on some music, and even Bebe's wife starts to shake and bake a little. But all that does is get more yelling from Señora Ramirez whose only duty as hostess is to scream at her husband from the bedroom. Now even a downstairs neighbor is complaining.
If you think it gets better when Alejandra, Marcos and Susana arrive....think again. Only plus is now Gabriel has someone of "his altura" ( standing) to converse with. He and Marcos start comparing family trees, business acquaintances, and general BS about their investments etc. The General isn't fooled and knows those guys don't have a dime to their snooty names. The poet starts spouting verse. In other words, the party's a complete dud.
Back at Rafa's....equally dirge-like. Vicky has arrived, pounding on the door Gestapo style as usual. Now she's hellbent on taking a photo of Rafa with his sales trophy. And only in the bedroom, mind you. And only on the bed, with the trophy in between her and Rafa, and with a little besito thrown in for good measure. Take that Alejandra! Rafa drops his bomb. No need for a photo. He's going back to Auto Siglo. Just kill me now!
After the ad, Vicky is "decompensating". Talking about herself in the third person. Vicky didn't hear right. Vicky is upset. Vicky is confused. (VICKY VICKY VICKY IS CRAZY, VERDAD?)
Well, heck, let's mosey back to the party. Ramiro makes a gentle attempt to reconcile Susana to Dandy with no success. But then Bebe steps in. There's a guy she can trust. So she listens. Meanwhile, the party is dying on the vine. Ramiro is sent out for more whisky and effectively loses the rest of his kids' tuition money. Claudia has left with the first beau, done God knows what, and returned with a second beau, looking fresh as a daisy. The poet is in full throttle now, spouting Blood, Blood, Fluids, Blood, Modesty, Death Rattle, Blood, Blood, BLOOD!!!! Okay, great way to liven up the evening. More bitching from Señora Ramiro and who can blame her?
Miss Vicky's not happy either. Rafa is talking a mile a minute, reminding her of all the awful things Alejandra has done to him. So why is she worried? Well she is. And she'll just have to kill herself I guess. Prepare to see the Cadaver of Vicky. She makes a grand exit but alas, we know she'll be back.
Gabriel would like to exit also. He has a big day tomorrow taking the kids to work while his wife earns a pittance at Auto Siglo. Marcos is likewise ready to vamoose. He and Alejandra bicker a bit about Rafa. She says he's always been forthright about paying back the debt; Marcos claims he's tried to weasel out of it and that's why Marcos been tracking him down. And while we're on the subject, why not take some time off before looking for more work? And in a different area...forget this car business.
Similar arguments at Rafa's house. His group is nagging him about Alejandra's shabby treatment and encouraging him to treat her with contempt when he's back at Auto Siglo and on top of things. Dang! you mean we're not going to have love in bloom right away? Give us just a little sugar please. It's been a long dry spell since Puerto Vallarta.
Okay! The party's cooking now. Doorbell rings (shrieks from Señora Ramiro) and in wafts Dandy, holding a Hindu statuette and surrounded by exuberant Hare Krishnas. The chanting is contagious. Everybody's into it and Dandy has a great head bob going. Susana is smiling and weeping, and glowing and basking and it's just a delightful scene. Best of the evening. They hold hands while the rest of the folk dance under their arms and chant like crazy. Everybody's having a blast but Gabriel (what next!? a Buddha!) and Señora Ramiro. Douse that wretched music (which Nelson describes as Mariachis from India...works for me.) Now Dandy's down on his knees asking forgiveness. Marino is shrieking at him to never kneel before a woman but our Auto Siglo bully is invisible and inaudible.
Only two people exist. Susana and Nelson. In their own blissful world. Naught else matters. Let's just abide here a moment and enjoy this. 'Cause not much else is fun in this party. They kiss. Little ones. Tender ones. And then to cries of Beso Beso Beso, they really kiss. Deep ones. Thorough ones. Passionate ones. Ay yi yi. The camera pans now to Alejandra's face, pained, nostalgic and lonely, remembering her own impassioned kisses on the beach.
In the midst of this, a very drunken Rosauro is dragged off by her husband. Lip curl by the General. So this is marriage...being dragged off by the ear by a spouse!? But Claudia counsels Susana to hang on to that veil once she gets it in her hands. Does Susana hear any of this? Heck no. She's still in her blissful alternate universe and Dandy is right there with her. Sweet scene.
Jealous scene at their elbows though. Marino is aghast at the time Ramirez is spending talking book publishing with the Cuban poet. It's another version of the business BS that Marcos and Gabriel were spouting. Silence falls as Alejandra Alvarez del Castillo is about to say farewell. Poet is entranced. Decides the best goodbye would be a poem from him. From his er..erotic period. And so we begin.... Anxious lips are running over her generous thighs and beautiful breasts. A volcano of desire erupting! Yikes...no, it's Marcos erupting! All over the poet and them some. Blows, pummeling, shrieks, cries of "Sexual Maniac." Hey, this party's picking up.
Not really. The guests all depart suddenly...leaving poor Ramiro to pick up the mess, ignore his wife's nagging, worry about all the tuition money he spent on the whisky and vow to never, never, ever, throw a party again.
Marcos and Alejandra arrive home. They discuss the scene at the party and she reminds him that if their relationship is going to work, they have to forget the ghosts of the past (think Medina) and certainly that drunken poet. She gives him the keys to the car and several affectionate kisses. But as soon as he's out the door, she admits to herself that the kisses were forced and without feeling. Forget 'im, Alejandra.
Next morning. A sunny Jorge, fetching Rubi and glum Rosario are all at the breakfast table. Marcos is enlisting their help is steering Ale away from future work in the car business. They promise to support him. Heck, Jorge will take care of that delinquent Medina if he ever bothers her again. Ale appears in a sharp looking low-cut gray dress (not a patch on Rubi's low-cut outfit...but still) . She's looking good for her last day at Auto Siglos. They seem to be heading off to work.
Where Rafa would like to be. If he could just fend off Vicky. Our bipolar babe is now armed with a baseball bat. She wants Rafa to club her to death and put her out of her misery. Julieta looks like she might be willing to help. Jaime too. Well, Rafa has a choice. He can take the photo of the trophy and wave it in Ale's face; or beat Vicky to death. Hmmm. Tough choice.
Whoops. Marcos and Ale haven't left yet. The mail arrives and there's a legal letter concerning the tax debt on the house. It hasn't been paid in years. Doesn't Marcos handle that? Nosireee. Just the hacienda. Jorge? Sure, I paid it. In 1947. Or was it '53? No, '58. Is there a problem? he adds, clutching his heart. Noooooo, wheezes Mrcos. I'll check on it. Fine. Jorge heads off for a stroll around the neighborhood park with Miss Rubi (cue a sour look from Rosario) and Marcos and Ale finally leave for work.
It's the usual chaos in the salesroom. Ramirez is working on Marino's acceptance speech. (He spent the night at Marino's since he left his keys at home and didn't dare wake up his mom). An anxious Ramiro is trying to get his whisky money back but all he gets is a face full of saliva from Marino. Rosaura is another letdown. With her terrible hangover, she completely forgot to bring poor Ramiro the money.
Suddenly the room brightens. Susana floats in. Dandy has brought her a basket full of sweet exotic fruit (like you, my love!) for her lunch. Blissful yearning looks, memories of sweet kisses, dreams of more to come. Hubba hubba.
Mood darkens when Alejandra arrives and finds her office locked. She's not going to put up with this third-rate humiliating treatment! And what will she do, where will she stand when she enters the room of the salespeople? No! this is unbearable!
Marino makes his way toward the assembly room, the way clearing for him like the parting of the Red Sea. Royal music in the background. Gloating toothpick chewing schlump! Can't wait to see him get his comeuppance.
Alejandra stands hesitantly in the back of the room. But Beltran motions to her to come forward to her usual spot at the front. And begins his ponderous speech about restructuring the department, taking into account the advice of the sales staff (GRACIAS crows Ramirez), bringing on board someone with experience, not necessarily a degree, a colleague (Marino is practically having an orgasm at this point), someone you all know, and now we have him with us again......el señor Rafael Medina.
Ale: stunned look
Rafa: grim look
Marino: dang! we don't get to see his face. But we'll look forward to it tomorrow night.

Judy- Thanks for getting this wonderful recap up so early. I will be out all day tomorrow, so I won't get to comment then. Susana and Dandy were definitely the BEST part of the night. They made up for the awkward party. Although, I have to say that Iassoon as the poet said erotic poems, and gave Ale that look, I was already laughing. Lol! And the looks on his, Ale's and Marco's faces had me in roaring with laughter. :)
Rosaura's husband is just awful. I think worse than Ramiro's wife. And Bebe's wife looks elegant and lovely. Of course.
Yay, Susana and Dandy!

Great recap, Judy! Forget the baseball bat, Vicky has already been hit over the head with a crazy stick. "Bipolar babe" really says it all. "Schizophrenic Señorita" would also suit her well.
Susana and Dandy made up in the sweetest way! <3
Fingers crossed that it lasts this time. We need at least one happy couple to keep our spirits up. Speaking of happy couples, Bebe's wife is very pretty. I'm glad he did so well for himself. =)
Rafa returns!! What a great cliffhanger. I can't wait to see Marino's over-inflated head get smushed by that anvil.

Thanks for the recap and the list of vocab, Judy. Currently I'm just reading the recaps for this and catching this TN when I can. I'm still trying to determine who is who among the AS group.
Susana and Dandy are cute and their reunion was sweet.

Judy, thanks for the speedy, entertaining rcap. I got several chuckles from it. I enjoy your presentation and love the vocabulary.
Yes, Dandy's head bobbing to the chanting. Funny indeed. But his beaming smiles after reconciliation with Susana, truly wonderful to see.
Poet reciting in tribute to Ale's attributes--good; Marco having one of his fits--great.
Ale had me convinced after the party that she was maybe really warming to Marco. Sigh of relief when she commented to herself how much work it was. I guess Marco is not the only one who can play the loving, phony novio so well.

Sounds like we were all experiencing the same emotions last night Barbara. I too was concerned at the warmth and number of those good-bye kisses Ale gave Marcos. Not passionate....but way too affectionate. Thank God afterwards she said "me cuesta trabajo!"
Vivi, if I could have jumped through the screen and throttled Rosaura's husband, I would have. What an insufferable prig! Her uppr crust airs are annoying, but at least she's TRYING to earn a living. He's just busy blowing upper caste smoke.

Flores, you've got me thinking. With your "schizophrenic senorita" you may have started a new Dinero party game. How many names can we think of for VickyVickyVicky? with alliteration, of course
1. Bipolar babe
2. Schizophrenic senorita
The game's on
Bebe's wife was certainly lovely...and classy. And she could really shimmy those shoulders when the music started. Go Bebe!
Karen, I think Wikipedia listed the enormous cast; Paula, the famous archivist and list maker, sent me a rundown on the folks, although I'm still lost on the beauty shop personnel and the cantina characters. And let's not even think about the cops, the handymen etc. The mind boggles.
And finally, yay, hooray, hallelujah and amen! YESSSSSSSSSS...Susana and Dandy are back together again and we all got a double dose of bliss by proxy last night. Wonderful.

Great recap! And you are so generous to give us the vocab! I don't think you have to worry about the cops or the beauty parlor or the drunk guy at the bar - as far as I can see nothing they do ever connects to our main story. I will be recapping tonight but reminding you all that next Tuesday I am out of town away from Uni-Land so if somebody else wants to volunteer that is great...
PS I loved the idea of "mariachis from India" and Nelson being able to do that Bollywood head-wag. And when he smiles he's quite incandescent.
Ooh, I like "Bollywood head wag". I really was searching for a word to describe that wonderful action. That actor is also great at rolling his eyes back in his head and...yes...looking incandescent. Didn't like him at first but I'm falling...I'm definitely falling.
If no one volunteers for the second hour next week, Melinama, we can all just pitch in and talk about the second hour. Group project. Team building. All good.

Judy: Fabulous - the recap stellar and the vocabulary and dicho were wonderful (as always).
Your words are a sumptuous feast for the mind. Descriptive, informative and always so much fun. Loved "blissful alternate universe. Everybody else is still circling their respective drains". Excellent! Laughed at "giant pole up his nether reasons", "shake and bake" and "wafts" (just love that word...and "busy blowing upper caste smoke" from your comments was super...
I'm with Karen in that I'm trying to sort all the many characters out but these recaps are all great and very much appreciated.

Judy,
Excellent! Both the episodes and your recaps were perfectly hilarious. The party and your coverage of the party exceeded my expectations. Hari Krishnas? Why not? As expected, the party delayed the much anticipated presentation of Rafa as the new sales manager, but what a delightful delay it was. My heart went out to Jimenez. I wanted to give him a hug as he was trying to usher out his guests after the party imploded and said,"My wife is already a little annoyed." Said wife is such a jewel. My favorite scene was the erotic poem the Cuban poet recited to Ale. I haven't laughed so hard since Rolu's final dive atop Jerónimo. This show is definitely winning me over. Far and away my favorite character is that lovable lunatic Vicki. She brings a fascinating fresh face to crazy.

Oh, Carlos, how you seem to e drawn to beautiful but flawed women. You were right to defend Coni all along. She came through in the end. We can only hope that one day VVV will also see how much trouble she is causing for herself and will be similarly redeeme. But we have months and months of antic craziness before that happens.
Judy, Thanks again for a lively recap of a wonderfully bizarre episode. Dandy & Susanna were wonderful. I'm starting to see promise in Rosaura -- and to understand her a lot better now that we've seen the husband.
It's so frustrating to see the lovers manipulated into believing that each has been wronged by the other. Of course, as much as we want to see them get together there wouldn't be any show if they just grew up and listened to each other. That is the whole dynamic of soap opera. We yearn for the resolution which if it happened would end the show. We cringe at the machinations and manipulations which are the only thing extending our pleasure. How twisted and how wonderful.

Judy, what a fun, enterntaining recap. I also loved the episodes. Whenever they have some pachangona, it's always fun. I don't know how they get up the next day and look so fit for work.
I'm too repulsed by Rosaura's husband. I the description "appears to have a giant pole up his nether regions" pretty much gives away the essence of this man. Loved it Judy.
Melinama, I'm still up for the first hour recapping next week. I'm afraid I don't have the "condensing skill" and recapping two hours would take me a whole night. I hope someone can do the second hour.
I had a busy weekend and did not get a chance to comment on Friday's episode, but Flores. thanks so much for Friday's recap.

Ah Carlos...you've added another one. We now have:
1. bipolar babe
2. schizophrenic senorita
3. lovable lunatic
anyone want to add to the list?
Gúera...Carla Estrada somehow makes her telnovelas compelling while keeping the lovers together. Wish more writer/producers would follow suit. Plenty of tension as the baddies try to separate them, but regular lovin' interludes to keep us romantics happy. Guess we'll just have to make do with Dandy and Susana.
Hi Diana. Good to see you back at work and back on the blog. I love the word "wafts". So glad you do too. Separated at birth!

Maria, good heavens, of course you can't do the second hour! None of us should have to, really. And don't worry. If no one steps up, we'll all just jump in and chat about it. I can put up a heading Wednesday morning and we'll all contribute our bits and pieces and answer questions if they come up. You are already absolutely wonderful and cherished for volunteering to do the first hour.
"Stars in your crown."

Judy, thanks for the fun recap, and the generous vocab.
You know I like alliteration, so here are a few more names for Vicky:
Chirping Chica
Smothering Smiler
Loca Lassoing Lass
Primping Pajarita

Chirping Chica
Smothering Smiler
Loca Lassoing Lass

Fantastic recap Judy! This show is so wonderful, I keep being surprised by it. The Hare Krishnas were great, and I loved seeing Susana and Dandy make up so sweetly.
I, too, was worried about Ale, and was relieved to hear her say that. And ditto on Rosaura, now I understand her better, too, her husband is such an asshole. No likable like Marco, no sense of humor. The party was great - the cuban poet, like I said this show just continues to be so creative and fun!
Can't wait for tonight!

Greetings Ivy. I imagine you were up late last night writing your excellent recap for Corazón.
Like you, I am amazed and delighted by the interesting peripheral characters the writers keep throwing at us. Evidently the Cuban poet was a big hit with everybody last night.
Although I originally dismissed the sales force as annoying ciphers, I'm beginning to enjoy their banter. Especially the humorless (yet somehow funny) posturings of the "General". She cracks me up every time she launches into the "Bougies" as my daughter calls them.
Gabriel, of course, was insufferable. Such a shame. I love that name and he could be handsome if he weren't such an asshat. But he is. And ever shall be. Amen.

Judy - Yeah, I was up late, and my son was needing homework help at the same time! Thanks for the encouragement. :)
Ah, that is the hardest. When you're trying like mad to concentrate and your kids need your attention also. Mine are adults now, but every once in a while something major comes up on my recapping night.
One regular recapper, a few years ago, quit after she realized that she snapped at her child, I CAN'T help you, I've got a recap to do.
On the other hand, if they ever wanted help with their math homework, I said I CAN'T help you. Period. Go find your father. Or figure it out. No help from this quarter.

I'll respond to your call for posters, Judy! I tend to lurk on blogs and rarely post, but I should really get better about leaving comments.
Thanks for the terrific recap! I love seeing Dandy and Susana back together. And the expressions on Dandy's face are just priceless. Did anybody else have trouble with Univision last night? For the first half hour I didn't have any sound.
I'll be a good girl and post more regularly, I swear! These recaps are fantastic for me because I don't actually speak Spanish, but have gotten hooked on the show. Although after watching for a few months, I'm starting to pick up various words and phrases. :)

At your suggestion, I'm providing the link to the form for FCC complaints, specifically over the sorry state of the CCs. They did respond to me as I mentioned and I've heard from a VP from our local station. It certainly can't hurt if more people complain.
I can't believe that you guys are coming up with such nifty names for our Psexy Psycho. The more Vicki the better as far as I'm concerned.
Tracie, I'm glad that you chimed in. Try fixing a strong drink one evening and taking a sip each time you hear:
¡Suelteme!
¿Qué haces aquí?
¡No puede ser!
Carlos

Great recap, Judy, so fun and so fast.
Ha Ha...What kind of party is it if the Hare Krishna's bring the fun. It would have been fun except for the wet blankets, Rosaura's husband and Ramiro's wife and Marco and Marino. I'll taka cheap tequila over whiskey.
So happy that Susana and Dandy are back together and sooner than I expected though we did see that kiss in the promos. Can't wait for tonight's reunion of Ale and Rafa. Will he be her boss and she the salesperson now or co-managers? I can't imagine her willingly taking a demotion but then, that's better than no job to pay debts and, though she protests, she wants to be near Rafa.

By the way, Tracie, I had sound for the episode but no captions for the first half. And I was blaming my poor husband for fiddling with the T V remote.

Ha Ha Carlos, that sounds like a fun way for me to learn more words!!
And GinCA, that's funny because I had captions but no sound. Although the captions don't do me much good since I don't understand them. It would be awesome if I could get English captions but I haven't figured out how. That's ok, since you recappers are so fabulous and it fills everything in for me!

Hi Tracie, GinCa and querido Carlos. Psexy Psycho. Excellent. One more for our list.
Tracie, good for you. You'll be learning Spanish before you know it. Fun, fast and furious.
Last night, a number of times the picture froze, but I had sound. This is a phenomenon called "macro-blocking" where there are a series of freezes and it seems to happen a lot. And of course, the link Carlos provided is so we can all protest the poor quality of the closed captions. Sometimes they're gobbledy-gook. other times they're simply way ahead or way behind the speaker. And if they're late, they get cut off by the ads.
Univision does not have closed captions in English. Some of the other Spanish television stations do. But for those of us who want to learn Spanish, seeing the words written out is really helpful.
Tracie, I'm just delighted you have decided to speak up more often. It really nourishes the line and makes it more fun as we interact and get to know each other better.
We had a wonderful community develop on Gancho. Many friendships were built there. It would be wonderful if that would happen here also as this is a loooong telenovela.

Thanks Judy! I always enjoy reading the recaps and I'm sure I'll have fun joining in the conversations as well.
I'm excited to see how Marino (or Toothpick Man, as my husband and I refer to him!) acts tonight. Should be funny!

Y'know Tracie, that's EXACTLY what I'm looking forward to. More than the Rafa/Alejandra meeting, I want to see Marino get deflated and defeated once and for all.
Does that make me a bad person?
Does that make me a bad person?
Hi all, am I to late for the party?
I just got home and read your halarious recap judy and all the comments. Judy I was a little confused when you had decribed Gabriel as an asphalt, I thought what? then reread it and I realized you wrote asshat. That fits him nicely. Although he is a bit concrete as well.
I am so happy Dandy and Susana made up. I was Cracking up when the hare krishna showed up. The Mariachis from India, that is the best line.
I had trouble with the sound as well Tracie with comcast, but fortunately for me I have Dish in my studio downstairs so went down there to watch. The general would have a very hard time with my decadence, Dish and cable.
I freaked when Rafa opened his door to find Vicky with a bat. She scares the bee gees out of me.
I can't wait for tonight. And thanks again Judy, I have said it before and will probably say it another million times, but here goes, I am so glad you joined the team.

Well gosh, Pata, thanks. I'm happy to be here. Hadn't realized how charming this show was. Too busy pouting about the schedule bumping of Gancho. (I'll tell ya, these old folks...they can be grumpy).
Some of these peripheral actors are terrific comediens and it's a treat to see them work. Many of them are new to me.

Thanks for a great recap Judy. Great job bringing Dandy and Susanna back together. I know that must have been your work. :)
You're getting a great list of names for VVV.
To bad we didn't get to see Marino's reaction last night, but we should get a good reaction tonight.
Güera, the poster child TN, to me, for lovers manipulated into believing things about each other was Destilando. That was almost getting hard to stomach by the end. :)
The Cuban poet shows up every once and awhile in the beauty shop. He was also one of the heavies that kidnapped Denia for awhile on MEPS before Artemio did him and his partner in.
Carlos and Judy, I'm glad you all decided to come over to Dinero. I was trying to get you to come over earlier. Glad you're over your grumpiness Judy. ;)

Hah! Took me a while, didn't it, Jeff. Yep, you and Güera kept telling us Ganchoites that it was good, but I was dragging my feet, that's for sure.
I agree with you about Destilando. I stopped watching it after a while, and just tuned in again for the last week. Too many misunderstandings. I don't handle relationship anxiety well...even in a telenovela!
Good call on the Cuban poet...he WAS a thug in MEPS.

Jeff,
He also played Cumbayo a witch doctor in Mujer de Madera. One of the most chilling characters ever. He had gray opaque eyes and pet jaguars that he often fed his victims to. Fittingly, he met his demise as a midnight snack for the big cats. I'm always glad to see him show up in a TN. He is always very convincing.
