Dinero #135- 6/17/10: Jorge Doesn’t Listen to Dead People and Marian Knows the Power of the Tanga
From yesterday: Ale slyly asks Susana about Rafa’s donde-abouts and then sarcastically says she hopes he’s enjoying his time with the beautiful Marian Celeste. Said beautiful lady is wrapping up tough negotiations with Rafa on her used trucks. Rafa calculates they’re worth up to 1 million pesos. Marian is cool with selling them to Rafa for 800,000, and Rafa can keep the difference if he can sell them for the full value. Rafa could get a loan. Nope. Not happening. He’s having enough trouble trying to get a loan to take care of another huge debt he has. Marian is moved enough to let him have the trucks for 750,000. Even more money Rafa can pocket if he somehow manages to buy all the trucks himself or to find a buyer to do so. Rafa agrees. Marian wants to top things off with some tequila. “Bottoms up!”
Tonight: The small half of the Brothers Grimm argues with his papa Don Gaston about possibly giving Rafa a loan. BG doesn’t like the idea at all, and thinks his bigger half will feel even more strongly about it. Don G’s also not jumping to part with his money. He knows Rafa is good for it, but he would also require another serious commitment (we know he means Vicky).
Back at the Fiesta de los Meurtos (aka Hernan’s B-day Bash at the Old Folks’ Home), Rosario is the belle of the ball. This wouldn’t require much more than having a full set of teeth, but Rosario’s also got a nice set of legs (and boobs) and is a good 10-20 years younger than most of the other guests. One of them (Antonio) appreciates her assets so much that he wants her to do a little turn for him. She politely refuses, but they reminisce about old times partying at the Hacienda Alejandra. Ah, the parties Jorge and his esposa used to throw! Quintana doesn’t remember them. Well, that’s because he wasn’t invited. Why? Because Jorge knew what a womanizer he was and kept him away from his beloved womenfolk (wife and sis).
Quintana decides to get Rosario away from this talk of his womanizing days and from the lecherous glances of his amigos, and takes her to the dance floor. Rosario wants to go home, but Quintana wants an answer to his pending question first.
While Rosario thinks over her answer, Jorge is working himself up into a state of worry about her whereabouts. He’s ready to call the cops, but accidentally calls the firemen (bomberos). Before he manages to actually call the police, Asucena fesses up and tells him Rosario went to Hernan’s party. “But he’s dead.” Jorge is slow to catch on that Hernan is still alive and having birthdays, but he’s very quick to realize that Rosario must be with Quintana. He sends Asucena away and then decides to go rescue his baby sis from the clutches of that scoundrel. Jorge to the rescue!
Jorge’s gearing up to bring some drama, but Marian’s trying to get Rafa to relax and unwind. She loves his white socks (calcetines). Her body language (leaning towards him and stroking his arm) says she loves more than just his socks. Rafa’s got too many things on his mind to notice. He calls Susana to get the day’s sales reports. In the background Susana can hear Marian’s happy clinking of tequila shot glasses and her seductive voice asking if he wants something else to drink. Susana hangs up quickly before she hears any more. Marian then asks Rafa if he was checking in with Alejandra. She is sure that what has him so preoccupied is Ale (she’s right), and says it’s obvious that there’s something between them (right again). She brings up Ale’s showing up at her Cuernavaca home as a sign that Ale was marking her territory- declaring that Rafa was HER man. “If only you could have seen the look of hate she gave me.” Rafa insists Ale doesn’t hate her, it’s just that a beautiful, successful woman like her brings out strong emotions in men and women alike. Marian asks him point blank if he and Ale had a romance. Rafa bobs and weaves and avoids answering the question. Marian doesn’t push the subject, and tells him he can count on her unconditionally. She then suddenly remembers that she has a party at her house that evening and insists that Rafa come. They’ll have a super time! (“Vamos a pasar bomba!”) Rafa can’t refuse.
Quintana reminds Rosario that, “I’m waiting for the most important answer of my life.” And she bobs and weaves and avoids answering like Rafa. But Quintana insists on an answer. He lays it on thick. “Quiero morir a tu lado.” (I want to die by your side.) Man, he’s good. If I didn’t know he’s a rat bastard, I would be so happy for Rosario right now. They dance cheek to cheek and Rosario gets tears in her eyes at Quintana’s beautiful words. She says Jorge would never accept it. “No me importa lo que piensa Jorge. Me importa lo que piensas tu.” (It’s not important to me what Jorge thinks. What’s matters to me is what YOU think.) Rosario can’t resist any longer. She looks up at him with love in her eyes and says, “Si Manrique. Quiero estar contigo, hasta los últimos de mis días.” (I want to be with you until my last days.) They seal it with a sweet kiss, while still dancing.
Suddenly they’re surrounded a half dozen proxy Jorges, warning him to take his grubby womanizing paws off innocent Rosario. They’re ready to deliver a geriatric beatdown, if necessary. Quintana calms them down by announcing that he and Rosario are now novios. This gets applause and calls for champagne.
Over at Siglo, the sales team is having a far less exciting time than the folks at the Fiesta de los Muertos. It’s the end of the day, things are winding down, and the team argues about who’s going to answer Ramirez’s incessantly ringing phone. Marino finally does, and is about to hang up on the person who seems to be having trouble pronouncing Ramirez when Ramirez comes running up. Turns out it’s Michel, a French book editor who’s interested in publishing all of Ramirez’s books (no, really). Ramirez is meeting him this evening, and he’s going to blow off seeing one of Marino’s women on his behalf. (Yay Ramirez! He took Ale’s advice.) The General and Rosaura take home the goody bag of fancy food her husband sent her (I am sure they will think of the poor as they eat their caviar). And Dandy and his nonicita try to get info out of the other about Rafa and Ale respectively, but they both keep their mouths shut. Let’s hope, not for long. Susana bids Ale goodnight and orders her to rest, not think, and get rid of the bad vibes.
Back at la fiesta, Jorge has somehow managed to find Hernan’s house! He arrives looking like a Mafioso- dark glasses; black trench coat; black leather gloves; grey fedora. I’m intimidated, and so is Quintana when Jorge lets loose a number of choice insults which all basically amount to calling him a womanizing scum bucket. “Our Alvarez del Castillo ancestors are rolling in their graves.” He takes off one of his gloves, slaps Quintana across the face with it, challenging (retando from the verb retar) him to a duel (duélo), tomorrow, in the local gym (if only he can remember where it is).
The rest of the party-goers object. How could Jorge challenge one of his friends? “He’s no friend of mine! He dared put his filthy hands on my sister’s immaculate body.” Rosario’s shocked and Quintana objects. “That’s not true!” “Are you saying her body’s not immaculate?” Quintana is speechless. Jorge turns to Rosario and her cleavage and barks, “Tú, tapate!” (Cover yourself up.)
Jorge’s not done (all his neurons are firing tonight). He starts bring up Quintana’s long history of being a heartless womanizer. “Remember when you seduced Cecelia?” “That was you who seduced Cecelia, Jorge. You dumped her when you met your wife” “Oh yeah, so it was.”
“Well, you seduced Mariela!” This causes one of the old guys, Ignacio, to have a near heart attack and to need an oxygen tank. “No, not YOUR Mariela, Ignacio.” Jorge then provides a long list of Quintana’s conquests, which he doesn’t deny. (Run Rosario!) He ends the conversation by slapping Quintana again with his glove, and tells him that they will meet tomorrow, face to face (frente a frente). Uh, wait. Quintana has an appointment with his proctologist tomorrow. No can do. Antonio then speaks up and says you can’t prepare for a duel in only one day. They need time to train, to build their muscles. Jorge agrees. Plus it will give him more time to find that darn gym. He slaps Quintana twice more (once on each cheek) and makes his exit dragging his baby sis. Hernan tries to get him to stay and relax awhile, but Jorge declares that he doesn’t listen to dead people. Lol!
Over at Marian’s Casa, she’s trying on some party dresses in her palacious walk-in closet and chatting about Rafa with her maid Lupita. “He’s the kind of man you don’t find anymore. He’s respectful; a gentleman. I’m going to do what it takes to conquer him and it will take more than a pretty dress to do so. Bring me my bikini!”
Ale has arrived home before Jorge and Rosario and is greeted by Marco. She informs him that she gave her resignation at Siglo. (Impactado Marco) “Qué!” Without a recommendation from Beltran, she won’t be able to get a job in car sales in Mexico. Maybe she should go back to Boston? (He REALLY wants her far away from Rafa.) Anyway, Marco assures her, he’ll always be there to take care of her and her family.
Thanks but no thanks. Ale’s got another plan. “I want to work for myself and my family. I’m going to dedicate myself to the administration of the hacienda.” (Impactado Marco) “Qué! You don’t know anything about administering a hacienda.” “No, but the hacienda’s my patrimonio (inheritance). And I have a Business Administration degree.” Marco accuses Ale of doubting his abilities. Ale tells him it’s not him she doubts, it’s that dastardly Chavez. Plus, Marco is a lawyer, not an administrator (silly rabbit).
He tries a new tactic. He tells Ale how dangerous it would be for her on the roads, driving back and forth to the hacienda everyday. “No Marco (silly rabbit). I would live at the hacienda. With my papa and tía.” (Impactado Marco) “Qué!!!!!”
Tomorrow: Marian and Rafa have a good time at her pool party. Rafa asks for a sign from God that he should set his sights on Marian as a way to forget Ale. He gets that sign in the form of Marian strutting her shapely stuff in a thong (tanga) bikini alongside the pool. Yowza! Marco remembers all his crazy times in the pool at the hacienda and all the damage he and Chavez have done to the place. Will he finally get busted?
Tonight: The small half of the Brothers Grimm argues with his papa Don Gaston about possibly giving Rafa a loan. BG doesn’t like the idea at all, and thinks his bigger half will feel even more strongly about it. Don G’s also not jumping to part with his money. He knows Rafa is good for it, but he would also require another serious commitment (we know he means Vicky).

Vicky, thank you for your always fun and helpful recaps.
The only thing I can add is that there was a scene at the hacienda where the headless fantasma appeared through the window to Chaves with his whiskey, his gal pals, and the caretaker when they are in the pool house. It disappears when the caretaker shoots his rifle into the ceiling but not at the ghost. I have no idea who is behind the fantasma appearances and why.
What is this? Are we to have a nightly tanga contest to see who can wear the tiniest bottom? So far, Marian wins. And again no blurs or pixels...go figure.

Vivi, thanks for such a witty and speedy recap. I especially loved donde-abouts and small and bigger halves of the Brothers Grimm.
The way Marco says "Que!" is very distinctive and amusing.
I almost thought Marian had given up until the end of the episode (and the previews-- YOWZA is right!) I think she will still be a good loser and friend for Rafa though.
I felt quite badly for Rosario as she sheds tears of happiness and yet we know what sludge Quintana is.
From the other day:
Paula, Thanks for sharing your Spanish aids with us. What a nice resource for me!
Hombre, I echo others in thanks for explaining some of the numbers that have been thrown about.
Jeff, I have had some of the same experiences as you in leaving a comment. Things that make you go Hmmmm.
Lastly, I enjoyed the scene of Ale trying to force the check on Rafa and in walks Susana. I had to replay it a couple times because our lovin' is so scarce right now. Let's have more like it!

Vivi, Thanks for a great recap.
I am on my way to work so wanted to at least get a thankyou in before I leave. Have lots of comments but will check back in later.

Vivi, thanks for the recap with the oh-so-helpful vocabulary and the great humor! I'm going to have to work in "donde-abouts" in a conversation with my Spanish-speaking friends.
On the "ageist" theme from yesterday, I have noticed that older people in telenovelas never seem to have passion in their romances. For example, they always do grandma/grandpa kisses (like Tia and the rat last night). The exception is when an older guy is with a younger woman.
JeffMN, thanks for the tip about posting comments. I'm trying it now.

Thanks Gina- I cracked up at the headless horseman happenings at the hacienda too, but left it out since my recap was getting long. It's a mystery and we still have no idea who's behind it. It's fun watching Chavez and his lady friends and the hacienda staff react to all the supernatural happenings though. I am hoping that it's some mystery friend of Jorge's who doesn't like what's happening at the hacienda. But why wouldn't they just tell Jorge? Maybe Jorge won't listen because he believes this guy is dead? ;-)
Good morning Vivi. Just a treat to read this. A delight from the title on (fantastic title, really)
The "silly rabbit" refrain, Jorge's description "all his neurons are firing tonight" the nifty scene transitions like "Jorge's geasring up for big drama while Marian's trying to get Rafa to relax", the vocabulary explanations....all first rate.
Have been thinking also about our language and what must appear interesting and exotic to foreign speakers. "Bobs and weaves" would no doubt intrigue and delight me if I were learning English.
Just a treat, Vivi. I didn't watch last night. Mi Pecado was SOOOO DRAMATIC, I wasn't ready for comedy after that. But will be sure and watch at lunch time when I have a break. Thank you querida amiga. Beautifully written.

Judy- I know what you mean. I was still sitting with my mouth hanging open after Mi Pecado when I realized, "Hey, I have to grab my notebook to take Dinero notes!" It was really hard to switch gears. Especially as the first scene was all about the numbers and money. My mind was still in the lagoon of love with JuLu. :)
Thanks very much to all those who explained the beginning of Dinero on yesterday's post. Gracias !!!

Vivi, thanks for a wonderful recap. I think Jorge's neurons where bobbing and weaving. The power of tanga. Marian said "bottoms up" last night, but looks like she will do bottoms up tonight, bottoms up and out.
GinCA, yeah, no blur or pixels in the avances, will there be some tonight?
Glad to see Jorge come to the rescue, but Rosario is falling under Quintana's spell. Ale has broken away from Marco, now need Ale to realize Quintana is a sleaze a have her help keep tia away.
How did Jorge get to the party? I hope he didn't drive.
So what/who is doing this haunting at the hacienda? Funny nothing fell from the ceiling when he shot.
Marian knows what she wants and she's going for it, white socks and all. As long as Rafa holds the line, I think Marian may eventually turn to helping Rafa out.
Mil in NC, not too sure if those were tips. Main thing I try to do, if I have a large comment, I make sure that still exists somewhere and I don't lose it. I've lost a few. :)

Good morning all, and thanks for the wonderful recap Vivi! Last night's episode was fun. I was cracking up at the hacienda ghost and at Jorge challenging Quintana to a duel. Now that's something I'd definitely like to see!
I hope Rafa can resist Marian's charms. He can't really be ready to forget about Ale, can he? It's only been one day since they broke up! The posse needs to get to work digging up dirt on Marco!

Great work Vivi!
What I don't get is, one minute Rafa is professing his undying love for Ale and saying that he will do whatever it takes to get her back and then the next minute he is asking for a sign to move on to Marian and just because she comes out half nakes he is going to think about it? If you truly love some one you don't give up in one day and just move on to the next person that shows you some attention.
He really needs to man up and tell her that he is in love with someone else, but no, he is so weak when it comes to saying no.

I completely agree with you Kat! It bugs me that Rafa is thinking about moving on when he knows that Ale loves him! He needs to figure out how to clear up this mess with Marco and then he can get Ale back. I really hope Rafa tells Marian that he's in love with Ale.

Kat and Tracie- I wouldn't worry too much about that passing thought about Marian that they showed in the preview. It probably was just that- passing. And there was probably something that came before it that makes total sense for why he would think it. Our boy is too crazy for Ale to fall for someone else. Yes, he notices and is impressed by Marian's charms, but no way would he stray.
I think there may be a number of reasons why he doesn't tell Marian about his relationship with Ale. Perhaps he thinks it's unprofessional to reveal to a client a (forbidden) relationship with a co-worker. Perhaps he thinks Marian will sour to their deal if she knows. Perhaps he's too much of a gentleman to kiss and tell, particularly to someone he knows Ale doesn't like.

You're right Vivi, I shouldn't worry about something that hasn't happened yet. Rafa is crazy about Ale, we know that! It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Marian seems like a woman who knows how to get what she wants. Resist Rafa, resist!

Yes, maybe we are jumping the gun a bit, I mean just because you are on a diet doesn't mean that you can't look at the menu, right?? lol
Marian talks about what a gentleman Rafa is and how wonderful he is. She knows he and Ale have something going. Now, if Marian is able to woo him with the power of the tanga, that would disprove all the other things she thinks of him. :)

Thank you Vivi, your recap was at least as fun as the episode! Loved the 2 halves of the Brothers Grimm, the Fiesta de Los Muertos, the geriatric beat down, and so many others.
Jorge's challenging Quintana was great, and listing his past conquests in front of Rosario. At least now doubt has been planted in her mind. Interesting the different moral code for that generation - that they were all ready to protect Rosario - although VVV is also protected by her brothers but isn't an independent woman like Ale.
I hope Ale goes through with her plan, or at least starts to so she can begin to find out about the goings-on with the Hacienda. Something needs to come out about Marco, so far he's gotten away with everything.
Marian sure is determined, but ITA that she probably will be graceful even if Rafa isn't interested.

Thanks, Vivi, for another well written, funny and educational (the spanish) recap.
It is interesting to observe the very common theme of when the heroes break up in a novela, invariably, there's a wonderful, attractive replacement person jumping into the hero's life, tempting him (or her). I'm watching Perro Amor, and the hero just broke up with the heroine, and they really (sort of) hate each other at this point. So he just happens to meet this perfect, pretty, smart, veterinarian. And I was thinking, forget about Sofia (the one he REALLY loves), go with Miranda (the perfect new one). Of course, we know he'll eventually get back with his TRUE love.
Likewise in our show, Marian is beautiful, smart, and loves Rafa, just think of how much GRIEF he'd avoid if he just fell in love with Marian, paid off the debt to Ale, and lived happily ever after. I know, it won't happen, he loves Ale, doesn't love Marian, but has there ever been a novela where the main character DOES switch? Actually, there was, in Querida Enemiga, where we had groups rooting between the two galans for a while, and no one knew for sure who'd win.
I'm definitely taping the show tonight, as Marian's tanga looks very memorable.

Thanks for the recap, Vivi. I liked your title too.
I too feel badly for Rosario. Hopefully, she will find true love but who can see be set up with in this novela? Since we have some episodes to go, perhaps the writers will bring on a decent mature man for her (unless it's Don G b/c Jorge goes for Lenora).
Yes, Mil in NC I have too noticed the ageism bias.
Jeff - great point about Marian and Rafa!

Finally got to see this at lunchtime, Vivi. Those oldsters tottering around....just please don't tell me they were 70!
"donde-abouts" - I like that. One of my favorites is "whoyo."
mio=my
tuyo=your
suyo=his
who-yo=whose?
Good point, HombreDM. You go through your life with nothing but frogs, and then two perfect princes show up at the same time.

Thanks for all the hard work, Vivi. A bunch of other commitments dragged me away from the television last night but I can perfectly imagine what happened thanks to your recap.
Marco is in a pinch yet again! He never counted on Ale deciding to take the reins on her inheritance. Who knows what he'll cook up to weasel his way out of it.
Why oh why does Quintana have to be a leech? I would thrilled for Rosario if he weren't a gold digger. Maybe if she had a happy relationship of her own, she'd stop trying to control Ale's!

Good point Flores. It does seem like Rosario has been waiting all her life for something to happen. Although I'm occasionally annoyed by the fact that she does nothing all day (can't cook, can't do dishes, can't clean, doesn't work outside the home) I understand that it's normal for families of a certain class to have a maid do all that. Still, it seems strange. But at least if she were married, she'd had someone to fret over besides Ale and Jorge.
I'm actually glad Rosario is being duped... She's always critizicing Ale for Rafa. I honestly fedlt like slapping Jorge across the face last night. When is he going to let anybody near the women around him?
