Dinero Mon. Aug. 30, 2010 Where's An Old Polaroid Camera When You Need It?
What a disappointment! Thought we were going to have a wild night of bikini bimbos cavorting in the pool and instead we're circling the drain again. Same old competition (Marino's out to bury Rafa and Ale), same old schemes (Marcos and Chavez are trying to hustle the hacienda), same old skirmishes between Rafa and Ale (you touched my hand...no, you grabbed mine!), same old dementia (Jorge still can't remember his security code) and the usual nonsense with the sales force at Auto Siglo. How do you say "filler" in Spanish? Hoping Private 057 has more luck tomorrow night. More luck than the hapless Zetina who evidently messed up the picture of Marco's faithless smooch with Carmela.
We begin with Daniel's proposal to Marian. By the way, while I think she's lovely, that garishly dyed faux fur vest she's sporting is the pits. Adds bulk and looks wretched. If Daniel proposes when she's looking like that, clearly the man is madly in love.
Maybe so. But Marian is not. She hedges and he says Take your time. Think it over. And in the meantime, enjoy the ring and driving this snazzy sports car. Now there's an offer she can't refuse.
From glamour to grit. Rafa arrives back at the barrio with a reeking, unshaven Jaime. Miss Havisham, aka Vicky, still dragging her veil at half-mast, shrieks Pajarito! and we're off. While Jaime and Rafa cower and cringe, she's belting out the decibels. YOU THINK I'M CRAZY!? YOU'VE MADE ME THE UNHAPPIEST WOMAN ON EARTH!!! BUT I STILL LOVE YOU, PAJARITO! HOW DARE YOU ASK ME TO FORGET YOU!!!!?????
Did you hear that? stammers Rafa. How could I not? sez Jaime. That voice would carry for three kilometers. A little discussion on "crazy" ensues. Rafa maintains that it's equally crazy for Jaime to keep camping outside his house, and crazier still to go without bathing. For God's sake, get yourself together. Jaime promises that if Rafa will get him just one more chance to talk to Julieta, he promises never to bother her again.
Back at Marco's apartment, the Swiss bank account mystery deepens. Jorge lists four reasons why he can't remember or find the missing number, and Rosario adds a fifth. If you've hidden the number somewhere it won't be here but back at the house. Eureka, yes, that's it. And of course my wife knows it, muses Jorge, but, alas she's dead. Marco gets a call from Chavez (make that Urdiales for the home folks) and says he must go, leaving Rosario and Jorge as bewildered as ever. Chavez is boasting that he has the perfect man for the job of fake buyer of hacienda. Once Marco looks him over, he's less than convinced. But Jorge IS convinced....convinced that his daughter Ale is not happy in her marriage. He can see it in her face. (Okay, his memory's no good but he's got some brain neurons left.)
Ready for some Auto Siglo gossip? Okay. First Marino, whose ego is as big as all outdoors, is gloating about how he's going to outsell Rafita on trucks and take over the managerial position. And Claudia and the General are still trying to soothe Rosaura's hurt feelings about her husband stepping out with a new woman. How could any woman put up with your jerk of a husband!? sneers the General. Scant comfort, but still....
After the ads, Marino and his Ego saunter into the meeting where he boasts to Ale of his plan to outdo Rafa. She tries to deflate him by pointing out he needs to come up with a written sales plan, no need to pontificate at the meeting. Exit Marino and pontificating honors go to Ramirez. When he drones on about Marino leaving "ex abrupto" Claudia thinks he called Marino a "bruto". Major eye rolling while our scholar bemoans her lack of culture. Enough of that. And Ale feels the same. Meetings over, get to work all of you!
Marco is now at our friendly bar looking over Chavez' prospect. And not liking what he sees. For one thing, the guy won't give his real name. Insists on being called Camarón (shrimp). And worse, insists on actually seeing the property, as if he were indeed a serious buyer. Marco is so not happy with this. And you bought him several tequilas, he kvetches at Chavez. Nopis. Not happy. Not happy at all. After another round of ads, he and Chavez are mulling over the Swiss bank account mystery. Must be a fortune there but those dang Swiss won't turn over a penny without authorization. You may be in love with your wife and all sweet on her family, but don't forget, Marco, your principal interest is the money, nudges Chavez. And don't we all know it!
Another swing by Auto Siglo where Doña Arcadia has rounded up the troops to invite them to her 50th birthday party. They all valiantly pretend to believe she's only 50. And she pretends to believe they're sincere. And then finally grins and says, well I'm celebrating 50 years in business. And you're all, and that includes Beltran and Trapito, invited to my house in Cuernavaca for a rip-roaring party. Your spouses and mates are all welcome-- but no kids. I don't want them pissing in my pool or tearing up my flower beds. Point taken. And no excuses! Y'all come! Now back to work. Sell, sell, sell!
Macho Marino is certainly taking this message to heart. And here's his latest scheme. While he's flogging trucks on the outside, Ramirez has to help him continue to sell cars from the showroom. The plan? If a client shows up, asking for him, Ramirez will invite him to his office, ply him with coffee and palaver while phoning Marino to get back on site pronto. Ramirez doesn't think this will work and says so, but Marino is adamant. With his toady's help, he WILL be in two places at once. Because he hates Alejandra and Rafa. And he must become head of sales. Another "crazy" to add to our list.
This section of the show ends with a conversation between Marian and Chepis , overheard by Julieta. Chepis finds out about the proposal and wants to know her "jefa's" answer. Well, Marian was going to say "no" but didn't get a chance. And he IS a great catch, he's from my world, he's from my social class--not like Medina--and we've shared a lot of special moments, and a lot of special places.
Okay, you guys who love to speculate....will Marian accept Daniel's offer? Will these two be together at the end? Let's place some bets here.
Alright, more ads and more scheming. Chavez and Marco are still muttering about Camarón (not a name I'd choose as a man, but maybe "camarón" doesn't have the same connotation as "shrimp" in our language). Is he trustworthy? And can we convince the Alvarez family to sell the hacienda at a giveaway (tres pesos) price?
Not only more scheming but more bickering. Ale and Rafa....who else? Where were you all day? she sneers Hanging out with Marian again? Are you jealous? You wish! (brincos diera) Enter Doña Arcadia? Am I interrupting? She invites them to the party, Ale asks if she can bring her ESPOSA, indeed she can and the scene ends with a nyahnjah look at poor Rafa. Boy, they can't get that door up between their offices fast enough! No indeed.
Things are getting heated back at the bar also. Carmela has called, in a swivet, and must meet with Marcos personally. Meanwhile Marcos is insisting Chavez visit the hacienda to find out what the current profits are. Chavez is leery of the headless ghost and wants no part of it. But since Carmela is about to arrive, he hustles out.
Back to the Bickersons. Doña Arcadia has left but they're still sputtering. Rafa points out that his jaunt with Marian to Monterrey resulted in truck sales--in cash. Well fine, pay me what you owe me and have done with it. The camera focuses on Ales legs and high heels. A pencil drops. They both reach for it. Hands touch. Faces come close. Hearts beat faster. Temperatures rise. IT'S MORE ADS! DANG.
Ugh. Now we're back with Marcos and Carmela. She doesn't like his casual greeting and goes in for a barracuda kiss. It's long enough that Zetina the spy can fumble with the camera and take a picture. Of course the poor schlump then messes with said camera, punches some buttons and I'm pretty sure he cancelled the pics. Since I'm a complete cretin with digital cameras I can't say for sure, but give me a gool ol' Kodak Brownie any day.
Things aren't going well back with our lovers either. Listen Medina, get your hand off mine! I'm a married woman, remember. She even waves her hand like it smells bad. What a wretched woman! After Rafa slinks off, she caresses her cheek with her hand and sniffs it nostalgically. I can't really get on board with this sniffing of clothes and body parts so dear to Mexican telenovelas, but if it works for you, enjoy. Like I said though, this Alejandra is a P.R.O.J.E.C.T.
Julieta gets home, tries to pretend she's not disappointed to trip over Jaime outside the door and tells Mamita Leonor all about Daniel's proposal to Marian. Mom looks worried.
Next scene is the killer. Rafa's Boys Club, all clumped together, are peeking around the office door. Zepina, errr, Zetina is in the forefront, happy as a clam about the incriminating photo. Great excitement. Rafa grabs the camera and looks. Great disappointment. Arrgggh. And there we end.
Previews:
A sexy swimming pool party!!! Are we going to fall for this again? Marcos and Rafa have a confrontation.
Vocabulary:
chiflado = crazy (Jaime swears he isn't)
el candidato idonéo = the perfect candidate (Chavez about "Camarón)
donde mande el capitán....= first part of a dicho that says when the captain orders, the sailor complies (Marcos saying he has to go meet Urdiales when he requests it)
es pan comido para me = it's easy as pie for me, it's a cakewalk for me, Marino boasting about his ability to best Rafa
comiendo el mandado = getting the best of someone (Claudia sneering that Rafa always outdoes Marino)
la jalada = tug, pull, also means garbage or rubbish (Dona Arcadia saying no rubbish, no excuses for not coming to her party....
ubicuidad =ubiquity Ramirez pointing out Marino can't be everywhere, even with an ego as big as his!
no tengo el don de la ubicuidad = I can't be in two places at once
fortunototota = a friggin' big fortune (Chavez' assessment of what must be in Jorge's Swiss bank account)
plantear las cosas = set out, explain, present things (Marco's strategy for conning the Alvarez family into selling the hacienda cheap
brincos diera = you wish! (lit. you'd jump)
a tres pesos - cheap, dirt cheap
Some fun phrases:
Ser uña y carne, ser uña y mugre = to be hand in glove (Marcos and Chavez)
And some other ways of saying someone's crazy:
estar demente
estar mafufo, mafufa
estar tocado, todaca
estar zafado, zafada

There may not have been much forward plot movement but there was a memorable Vickie moment. Are you happy, Carlos?
Jorge was very funny with Marcos and Bebe was cute with the continuing short jokes. It's cute even when the wheels are just spinning and going nowhere.
Thanks again, Judy, for keeping us smiling and for the fabulous vocab.

Good morning Güera...glad you enjoyed the episode. There had to have been a lot of disppointed bikini fans last night though. Just sayin'.
Thanks for making this episode so fun and amusing, Judy. Zetina trying to take these pictures under pressure probably really wished for an old Polaroid camera. But then we would probably see the picture being ripped out of his hand by the wind or something.
If I were Rafa, I would be pretty scared (and sad) after "talking" with Vicky this episode.
I glad Rafa has forgiven Jaime and it looks like we saw are first softening of Julieta this episode.

Judy, for those of us who missed last night, your stellar recap provided insight "From glamour to grit" and pure delight "Sell, sell, sell!" I smile every time I see "circling the drain". I just love that phrase.
I think you could take even the slightest, most mundane occurrence and make it sound interesting. Turning stones into jewels.
The vocabulary was absolutely sensational and the phrases were an added treat.
As we know Marian won't end up with Rafa, I'd like to see her with someone, but Daniel? I don't know.

Good morning Diane and Kalum. Thanks for those kind words. With these extensions, Diane, we'll have plenty of opportunity to use "circling the drain"!
@Kalum...glad you concur on fake fur effects. Generally they dress Ale and Marian very attractively but that sports outfit was a disaster.

Hi Judy. Thanks for another great recap. "WE were going to have a wild night of bikini bimbos cavorting in the pool and instead we're circling the drain again." How true.
There were a couple of funny scenes. The Vicky/Rafa/Jaimie encounter was halarious if not also quite scary. Right then and there Rafa should have got down on his knees and thanked Jaimie for sparing him from a future with that.
I always enjoy the Ale Rafa scenes. Even when they are not getting along they are fun to watch.
That "garishly dyed faux fur" description of Marians vest was spot on. Daniel was not going to let her say no, was he. I am not really liking his character.
Zetina and the camera was funny too. I just got a new digital camera and can certainly understand his confusion with all the buttons!!
Once again thank you for such an entertaining recap. As always your vocab is really appriciated. Your recaps are always fun to read.

Great job Judy. Mondays have become a prime night for quality recapping. Judy, Maggie, and Genelia... topnotch.
Güera, Vicki was great last evening. She is clearly not going gently into that good night.
Every time there is a meeting of Autos Siglo's sales force I look forward to Ramirez (no matter how hectic things may be) putting in a request for a rendition of the anthem.

Judy- Thanks so much for another gem of a recap. So sorry that you did not have an exciting bikini party to recap. Looks like we get that tonight, unless they are faking us out once again. I am actually looking more forward to the interaction between the Alvarez del Castillo y Valenzuela, and the Medina y Nuñez families. They have never all been in the same place at the same time before. Should be interesting.
Yes indeed Pata. Rafa should be kissing Jaime's scraggly bearded face for saving him from Vicky. By the way, I saw the Cristina show last night focusing on actors as dads, and the Jaime actor was hilarious talking about his rough transition to responsible fatherhood. His wife described him as being more like a brother to his two sons in terms of his own goofiness and inability to stay still. And Cristina amusingly pointed out that it was obvious that the two cute as a button jumping beans were his. All the other children were quietly remaining seated on their fathers' laps. Not his boys though! He's also much thinner, tanner and hipper than his Jaime role.

Thanks, Judy, for another of your fun recaps (and of course, for the extensive and well-explained vocab).
Yes, I was disappointed with the lack of bikinis, but I knew it had to be when Doña Arcadia said the party was on the weekend. Who knows if we'll even get to it tonight?
Somehow, I do think it is possible that Marian could end up with Daniel, but he's going to have to do more than just a few presents and one special day.
Carlos, I also think Ramirez is funny. Every time he stands up and says "Estimidisima licensiada", I crack up!

I was yelling at Zetina, "RAFA TOLD YOU TO TAKE PICTURES!!! WHERE IS YOUR CAMERA???"
But it looks like he finally did in the previews, I don't think that it is another trick, hope not anyway.
I have to go read the recap now!

Hi everybody. Lordy, I can't believe some of you get a kick out of Ramirez. He drives me nuts (uh oh, "crankypants" persona sneaking out again) Well anyway, glad you're enjoying his pompous old soul. Somebody has to.
@Barbara...somehow missed your comment earlier. And you're right. Had Zetina used a polaroid, something else would have gone wrong. That guy has a permanent black cloud over his head.
@Pata...yes, Ale and Rafa are cute, even when they're fighting. And since they're usually fighting, it's a darn good thing. But I'm ready for another beach getaway.
@Carlos...as much as Vicky's screeching hurts my ears, I'm glad she's still kicking. I actually felt a bit sorry for her in the catatonic weeping stage. This Vengeful Vicky is more to my taste.

@Vivi...sorry I missed the Cristina show. I would have liked to see the Jaime actor without all the nervous Netty mannerisms. But sounds like he's pretty hyper by nature. Still...thinner, tanner and hipper sound real good.
@Hombre...so you dig that "estimadisima licenciada" bit. Maybe because I'm married to a prof, who still tends to lecture rather than converse, that mannerism just drives me up the wall. But to each his own.
@Kat...yes indeed, Zetina took a picture. But I'm pretty sure he deleted it when he was randomly pushing buttons. We shall see tonight.

Judy- See photo #10 from these pics from the Cristina Show. By the way, she is ending her 20 run on the show on November 1st, so we may never have another post-tn Cristina Show.

Photo 7 is also a good one that shows his mischievous munchkins. There are also pics of Cesar Evora and his two grown daughters and wife. All beautiful. His wife looks like the actress who played Gabriela in Gancho (Carlos/Hombre, check it out)- same beautiful skin, radiant smile, and voluptuous build.
Well, Judy, the recap was fun, even if the episode was a dud. I like your assessment of Ale as a P.R.O.J.E.C.T. For a smart lady, she can be pretty stupid.
Hey Vivi....thanks for the link to those photos. I would never have recognized the actor...never! You could tell those two little boys were total squirmers, clearly never sitting still. My third was like that. I had a really hard time getting babysitters for her.
Loved the picture of Cesar Evora's wife laughing at something he said. Mouth wiiiiiiide open. Looks like a fun lady.
@Julia...I realize all these setbacks are essential to extending the plot and the romantic tension, but I find Ale annoying after a while. Her character was so shrill in the beginning, I stopped watching. Then got hooked when they were at the beach and falling in love in spite of themselves. Now...I'm back to being cranky. Guess I'm a bit of a P.R.O.J.E.C.T. myself.

Hombre, I'm glad that you find Ramirez entertaining as well. He reminds me of my high school band director, who was always so precisely dressed and had the same little pencil mustache. Of course he wasn't prissy like Ramirez.

Okay, here's my question Carlos. Can you really imagine Ramirez romancing one of Marino's women? I can't.
We can only hope in the throes of passion he doesn't start in on a long-winded discourse. Although after Marino, maybe just about any decent man would be treasured and appreciated.
One of the moral lessons in this morality play?

Judy, I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm guessing that Marino is not a hard act to follow. I do think that Ramirez has a certain Old World charm, however. I also get a kick out of his predictability. The one thing about him that bothers me the most is his toadying to Marino.
