Caray, Caray!

Sorry this will have to be a short one tonight. Got home late and have an early morning. I know I missed a lot and didn't add much vocab. Please feel free to add and or correct.

We have last nights leftovers, with Marco overjoyed with Ale’s so called change of heart. She is asking him to be patient with her. Marco assures her nothing will ruin their relationship this time. Everything will be different. He tells her he will not make the same mistakes. Ale looks like she is getting root canal as Marco goes to kiss her goodnight. She tells him they will talk in the morning. He tells her to have a good night and dream about him. She walks to the corner and says a little silent prayer and we hear Marco’s inner demon saying “ It doesn’t matter what she feels or doesn’t feel for me I am going to get married under whatever conditions she wants.”

Is that birthday party still going on? Yep. Marino first gets mad at Ramirez for ditching the lovely lady he set him up with than gets mad at Pepito for dancing with her. Then Dandy sees an opportunity to take over from Pepito. Marino is less happy with this and goes after Dandy as well asking him what would his little vegetarian think about this. Our poor young woman just wants to have fun and she isn‘t having any fun with Ramirez. She tells Sandra she is leaving. When Sandra asks why she tells her because Marino ruined it, grabs her purse and angrily tells her they will talk in the morning. Ramirez is also off as he thanks Marino for the party. He has a lady waiting for him.

Over at Rafa’s house we have some one else who has ruined all of Vicky’s fun. Vicky has poor Rafa half undressed when Lenora walks in and tells Vicky it is about time she goes home. Vicky tries to talk Rafa into going somewhere else and Rafa begs off. Once Vicky leaves he gratefully thanks Lenora. Than he tells her he has good news. He got his car back. (oh the simple pleasures of life.)

Rafa, Lenora and Juliette all go outside to celebrate. They have a toast to welcome back the panther. Rafa also has to make sure it still starts. And they have another drink.

Ale tip toes to her new bedroom with her new roommate Tia Rosario, peacefully asleep. Ale says a little prayer to God to forgive her for using Marco like this. After all she has to do something to get Rafa to react. We have Rafa in his room praying to Santa Claus to help him not allow Ale to marry Marco.

Marino is now charming Sandra. She asks him if he is married, divorced, or separated. He tells her none of the three. He is single, that is until she decides otherwise. She asks him if he has any children and Marino chokes a little bit and says no but a little girl would make them both crazy. (Was that a pick-up line?)

Our cartoon rooster is on the picket fence letting us all know a new day has begun. Rafa’s phone rings and he is all excited thinking it is Ale. He’s not that lucky. It is Vicky. She wants some help with writing their wedding vows. Rafa tells her is he quite busy and Vicky says not to worry she will write them for the both of them. Over at camp Marco, Ale’s phone rings. She is all excited thinking it might be Rafa. Nope it is Marco calling from the bar telling her he loves her. She has no reply to this. He wants to know if he should come and get her later so they could have lunch together. She tells him she will be to busy but will call him later.

The Siglo crew have arrived at Auto Siglo. We have some talk about last night’s festivities. Claudia get’s a phone call from Marco and fines a secluded corner to talk with him. Gossip girl (Rosaura) not far behind, manages to sneak a listen. Marco is drilling her for information about Rafa and Ale. Claudia wants to know if something is going on between them. Marco offended by this tells her that he and Ale are getting Married. Claudia is quite surprised by this news, but not as surprised as Marco is to hear that Ale hasn’t told anyone yet. Marco informs her that Rafa isn’t the great salesman he is pretending to be. She can’t believe this.

Rafa shows up to Siglo and tells Susana to get everyone ready for the meeting. Then he asks her to get the door fixed to his office.

Rosaura wants Claudia to share her gossip. Who is getting married? Claudia tells her it is Ale and Marco. Rosaura is stunned at this news. Aren’t they fighting? Claudia tells her they are getting married at the end of the month. Now it is Claudia’s turn to grill Rosaura about Rafa’s resume. Did she see it? Does she remember what it said? (for all of you who didn’t see this from the beginning Rafa’s original resume wasn’t up to Ale’s standards and she and Susana made up a bunch of things so Beltran would hire him. That‘s the resume that Rosaura saw.) She tells Claudia about all his wonderful experience and all of his schooling. Claudia’s little brain is a whirl as she takes this all in. Rosaura wants to know why she is interested. Claudia says just curious, and slyly changes the subject.

The funniest scene of the whole night. Marco answers his phone and can barely hear who is on the other end. It is Chavez. Marco wants to know where in the devil is he. He is in Bagdad sitting crossed legged sucking on a rubber hose dressed in a white gown complete with a checkered head dress. (I fell off my chair). He tells him he can’t imagine how much he misses Mexico. “The people are really strange. And the women are covered up to their heads and you can barely see their eyes and she can’t say anything witty to them. And no they don’t sell whiskey any where and every so often bullets go flying by. I just want to come back, no matter what happens.” Marco tells him he has good news. He is going to get married. Chavez asks “Who, Carmela?” Marco tells him not to be an idiot, who else, Ale. Chavez is quite surprised and wants to know how that happened. Marco tells him it was Ale who asked him to marry her. He tells him that in order for the old man to make it to the wedding it is really important to find Ruby (yes!!) and make her return to Mexico. He tells Marco he doesn’t speak English and if he tries to speak English everyone gives him ugly looks and yells at him. He doesn’t think they really like the gringos. And of course he doesn’t speak “Iraqui”. Marco yells at him and tells him to call him when he finds Ruby and hangs up him.

Chavez is left thinking that this all sounds quite strange. Marco tells him he is going to marry Ale but it is important that he find Ruby and in the meantime Marco is having a great time (pasar la bomba ) while bombs are literally passing over Chavez head. Maybe he was lying about Carmela and he just wanted to get him out of the country so he could take his place at the Hacienda. Just than bombs drop and Chavez tells himself to stop thinking bad things about his good friend Marco.

Ale has arrived dressed in a very smart royal blue pantsuit. She asks Susana if Rafa has showed up yet. She also wants to know when they are going to put the door up in her office. Susana informs her that Rafa has already asked about this. Ale seems miffed at this and heads off to the meeting

Trapito drops off a few things for Susana. A care package for Rosaura and a manila envelope for Ale. Inside is a wedding invitation. We are given no further information.

We have our little meeting. Ale is disappointed in the sales. Everyone has an excuse. Marino certain he has the most sales is quite outraged when Dandy corrects him and reminds him about the deal they made regarding the sales to Sandra. Rafa and Marino almost come to blows a few times. Marino starts on about all the improper mingling that is going on. He refers to Dandy and Susana and Rafa and Ale. Rafa ends up grabbing Marino and kicking him out of the meeting.

Marino huffs up rudely and tells Susan he needs to talk to Beltran. Susana puts him in his place and tells him not to talk to her like that. She tells him Beltran hasn’t arrived yet. We have a scene with Dona Arcadia and her secretary who is telling her Marino wants to talk to her. She doesn’t want to see him. She tells him to tell Marino she can see him in the year 2020. She would rather talk to her dogs than him.

Our final scene is back in the meeting room where Rosaura is asking Ale about her wedding. Isn’t she getting married at the end of the month? Rafa has the same root canal expression on his face as he looks over at Ale.
