Dinero #192- 9/9/10: Rafa and Ale Perfect the Art of Kissus Interruptus
Rafa and Ale search the sales floor frantically for the correct bag full of cash, since they can’t give Beltran a bag of medical equipment in exchange for the trucks they just handed over. They keep overlooking the bag tucked safely under Jimenez’s desk, and like Pata yesterday, I keep yelling at the tv and pointing to the bag.
Rafa resigns himself that if they don’t find the cash, he’ll take responsibility for paying the money back. Ale thinks that’s a crazy idea and they turn to face each other, inches apart. He tells her he’ll happily be in debt to her his entire life! “Cada dia, cada minuto, cada segundo, la amo mas.” (Ever day, every minute, every second, I love you more.) *Sigh!* Ale is enthralled. They lean in for THE KISS, and…kissus interruptus #1.
Ale and Rafa are startled out of their romantic moment by Ramirez’s loud call to order of the sales team troops. They’re all gathered outside and it doesn’t take long for Ramirez to convince them to leave for lunch an hour early since it’s such a slow day (flojo, which means weak, poor, lazy, feeble, etc).They decide to head to their favorite spot, El Trancazo. Unfortunately for them, Doña Arcadia’s sharp eye, really her cameras, pick up on the fact that the sales floor is bare. She gathers up Chatoooooo and the puppies for a hunt to find those rascally salesmen and women.
We beam over to the pueblo where Marino has just been released by the succubus, err…mayor’s daughter. Her enthusiasm has left him with a powerful thirst for some whiskey, but he figures the best he can do in this podunk town is tequila. He heads off to find some.
Jaime’s also on a mission. He’s going to talk to Julieta, and no, he doesn’t need Cousin Curls to help him. If it doesn’t work out with Julieta, Curls knows “unas chicas buena onda” (some cool chicks) in Guadalajara. Jaime girds himself for battle and heads out the door.
Vicky’s girding herself for battle too, to win back Rafa by scoping out the perfect pink outfit. It will be paired with her well-worn veil, of course. She is sure he will fall in love with her again when he sees her looking so lovely this evening. But why wait till this evening to pounce on him? She’ll go to Autos Siglo today to see him!
Vicky won’t have much of an audience at Siglo for whatever locura she has planned, as they are all still out to lunch. Arcadia interrogates Trapito, doling out a few swats to his fanny, to find out where the sales team has gone. He spills the beans/soup, but begs her to not let on that he’s the one who told her. The floor models approach, shivering. The a/c in Siglo must be turned up pretty high, and the short skirts and sleeves on the floor models’ uniforms don’t provide much cover. Arcadia promises to get them some shirts with sleeves. I’d personally prefer a raise and to bring my own sweater from home.
Ale and Rafa continue to panic in the comfort and privacy of their office. Ale won’t let Rafa take full responsibility for the vanished money. He insists. She asks why he wants to do such a thing. “Porque la amo.” (Because I love you.) “More than the first day I saw you. More than ever. We could be happy together, you and I. I’m dying to kiss you.” *Sigh!* They are standing millimeters from each other. Ale’s lips murmur no, no, no. But they’re puckered and her eyes are closed in anticipation of THE KISS that is sure to come. But Rafa continues to babble and stammer, and at this point I am certain the writers, director and actors are toying with us and enjoying every second of it. We go to commercial break still not knowing if our lovers’ lips will meet.
When we come back we have been deposited at Trancazo with the Sales Team. They order up some delicious sounding lunches (reminding me of the Camerones al Diablo Fajitas I had for lunch at a Mexican restaurant with my team today), and of course a bottle of tequila (we did NOT have that with our lunch). Trapito runs in to warn them that Arcadia is on the way. The team flees in every direction, except the exit where Arcadia will soon be making an appearance, bumping and colliding into each other. Ramirez and Trapito don’t manage to get far. Ramirez hides under the table and Trapito “hides” behind a column that is one-third his girth.
Ah, finally we head back to Ale and Rafa. She decides to give him some help working up the courage to kiss her. On the count of three. “A la una. A las dos. A las tres!” Rafa leans forward, and…Ale sidesteps. Kissus interruptus #2!
“We can’t.” Why, Rafa wants to know. “Because of the money.” Just then, the medical equipment salesman, who realized he was missing his bag while waiting for his bus, returns to Siglo. He’ll wait for Jimenez at his desk. His eyes are obviously sharper than Rafa’s and Ale’s, because he sees the bag under Jimenez’s desk almost right away. He happily begins to leave with the bag, just as Ale and Rafa return to the sales floor. They spot the bag in his hands and a hilarious tug of war between Rafa and the matasanos (quack) ensues. “Es mia!” “ No, es mia! Sueltelo!” (It’s mine! No, it’s mine! Let it go!)
Ale jumps in the middle and gets jerked around as much as the bag. She tries to explain that this bag is not his, and is in fact filled with cash. If I were the Matasanos that would be enough reason for me to take the bag and run. Forget the medical equipment. Ale finally manages to convince him to come back to their office so that they can show him the contents of the bag. Rafa and the Quack drag the bag, and Ale, to the office. Once there, the bags’ contents are quickly revealed and rightful owners take possession. Before he leaves, however, the Quack wants to know if Ale and Rafa would be interested in buying some medical equipment. “No!!!” Once he’s gone, a happy Rafa and Ale hug, beam at each other, and begin to count the cash. Yay!
This is our one happy ending of the night, so take the time to celebrate folks. Jaime’s day is about to get worse, and so is the Sale Team’s. Jaime arrives to Julieta’s office just as Cesar has slimed his way over and asked, no insisted, that she go out on a date with him. Smart Julieta has just said no. But tonta Julieta takes over after Jaime arrives. He wants to clear things up. She won’t listen and assures him that what she saw with her own eyes was plenty clear enough. She wants him to leave. She then drives home her point by accepting Slimy Cesar’s date. Jaime wants to know who the heck this guy is and Cesar wants to know the same. Jaime declares that he is Julieta’s NOVIO. But Julieta begs to differ. She says he is NOTHING to her (harsh), and says that she can go out with whomever she pleases. He has no business there! After this thorough dressing down, a defeated Jaime leaves. Julieta continues to seethe, and Slimy Cesar gloats like the cat that has the canary in its paws.
At Trancazo, Arcadia sets the dogs on the scent of the Sales Team. She finds Ramirez first hiding under the table. She threatens to tell his mama and sic the dogs on him. Somehow Trapito’s skinny pole provides enough cover to allow him to sneak away. She then finds the rest of the boys, except Pepeto, in the boys’ baño. She catches Dandy with his pants down sitting on the porcelain throne. He claims he was doing a “mantra espiritual.” She opens the door on some poor innocent guy perched on the pot before finding Bebe and Jimenez in the next stall. “A tu edad Bebe?!” (At your age Bebe?)
Next she finds the ladies (where else?) in the ladies’ room, after scaring out a gaggle of nuns. “Are you selling trucks in there?” Pepeto chose a rather clever hiding place…as a cook in the kitchen. But Arcadia is cleverer by far, and finds him easily. She then lines the whole team up for disciplining, like Captain Von Trapp and his kids in the Sound of Music (I expect her to pull out that whistle he used). They crossed a line and she’s not going to take it this time. They claim they just went to lunch, and they have a right to do that. She points out that they left for lunch a whole hour early. They claim they were hungry. She threatens to throw them all out onto the street. They beg her on bended knees not to fire them. Even Doña Dolores begs her on their behalf. Arcadia’s actually a softie at heart, so she gives in.
Ale’s also really a softie under that hard, silver cocktail dress, exterior. After Rafa finishes counting the money (it’s all still there) and gets ready to head to the bank, she makes him promise her to NEVER again accept a payment in cash (en efectivo). “Es una locura.” (It’s madness.) Rafa agrees. “Nunca mas. Se lo juro” (Never again. I promise you.) “Good!” She grabs his hand as she gets his assurance, and gives him another of those come hither looks. Rafa does not heed the call. Meanwhile Vicky has entered the empty sales floor looking for her Pajaríto. She’s wearing a hot pink slinky dress, silver high heeled sandals, sleek silver sunglasses, and to complete the look, her veil.
Let’s see what our other obsessed unrequited lovers are up to. Daniel and his sister Montserat are meeting over drinks. She doesn’t want him to get hurt by Marian if she’s hung up on Rafa. He’s got another ace up his sleeve, and makes her promise not to tell Marian. He really likes/loves (he uses querer, so it could be either or something in between) Marian. He’s always felt that way about her. But if that doesn’t work out, he has another marvelous lady prospect in mind. He doesn’t reveal who it is.
Marco is meeting with Chavez at their favorite bar lamenting the fact that Ale has asked him for a divorce and wants to “mandarme al diablo” (Literally means “send me to hell/the devil, but translates more like kick him to the curb.) He is taking his frustration out on Chavez’s lapels, and Chavez responds by grabbing Marco’s lapels and demanding that he calm down. “Vamos a calmarnos.” (We are going to calm down.) They simultaneously let go of each other’s lapels and decide to use their cocos (coconuts/heads). Chavez announces he has an idea. “Una idea verdaderamente infernal.” (A truly diabolical idea.) Uh oh!
We finish the night with Rafa and Ale once more. He tells Ale that they need to talk. Ale stops in front of him, waiting with baited breath. Rafa starts to stammer, but then finally manages to get out that he knows she and Marco haven’t been intimate. Before she can get indignant he continues. “I know that you still love me.” She doesn’t deny it. She’s speechless and looks deep into his eyes. They lean in for THE KISS, and it looks like it’s going to happen this time, until…Hot Pink Vicky Veil walks in. “PAJARITO!!!!!!!!!”
Kissus interruptus #3.
Tomorrow: Marian wants to talk to Rafa (give up already). Vicky threatens Ale and Rafa.
Rafa resigns himself that if they don’t find the cash, he’ll take responsibility for paying the money back. Ale thinks that’s a crazy idea and they turn to face each other, inches apart. He tells her he’ll happily be in debt to her his entire life! “Cada dia, cada minuto, cada segundo, la amo mas.” (Ever day, every minute, every second, I love you more.) *Sigh!* Ale is enthralled.

Vivi,
Thank heaven for your recap. My VCR stuttered tonight & I missed the show. But your recap is so thorough and so amusing that I can picture the whole thing.
Your imitation of Doña Arcadia's Chatoooo made me hear her. Your description of the search for the sales force under tables , in the baños and in the kitchen was wonderful.
And, of course, your running theme of kissus interruptus lightened what was a frustrating series of near misses.
I loved your description of Ale as a softie under that hard, silver cocktail dress exterior.
I'm so glad the quack came back to claim his briefcase. Whew! I can't take much more of this worrying about huge sums of cash. I'm with Ale. "Es una locura!" Your description of the slapstick tug of war over the money bag was priceless. I could see the whole thing.
Otra vez, Gracias! You do great recap.
Güera

What a great recap Vivi! I loved the theme. I was aggravated especially by kissus interruptus #2. Come on Rafa, just do it! (though I guess that's a little sexist, Ale could have gone for it too instead of just waiting).
Truth be told though, I would rather they find the money than get the kiss. So the episode worked for me. How depressing, I guess some romance in my soul has dribbled out over the years.
Vivi, I too could hear the Queen as you wrote Chatoooo. LOL!

Morning Vivi, thank you for that descriptive fun filled recap. I liked your funny title.
I am glad the money thing was resolved. I don't think I could have stood another day of seeeing the briefcase just sitting under the table. I was cracking up over there tug of war with the money.
The trancaso scene was funny, but your description of it was so much better.
When Vicky was talking to herself at the begining and picking out an outfit I was in stiches. She really has lost touch with reality!
I am quite worried now about what wicked idea Chavez has come up with. Marco also has seemed to have lost his grip on reality.
I agree with Barbara, as much as I wanted to see them kiss, I would have rather them find the money. So at least we had one resolution.
Thanks again for the fun recap.

Thanks for the recap, Vivi!
And greetings to everyone from Italy! Sorry I have been a little absent from the comments lately but like I said I'm on vaation in Italy.
So on to business...
I would bet anything that the woman Daniel is interested is Ale. Please feel free to disagree but I'm pretty sure it is. Its not a bad thing either. Maybe seeing Ale being pursued by Daniel will make Rafa refocus his energies. And it may make Ale sbreak out of her "I'm a married woman shell."
I think Jaime needs to change. Its pretty obvious that Julieta still wants to be with him, but he is always around. He should give her some breathing room. There was nothing that was extremely wrong with hom and Vicky at his apartment. I mean they are both single adults... right?
Oh well just forget it. Just have Jaime go out with some other women for a little bit and watch Julieta come running back.
Time is short and I will be
Signing off... Private 057

Vivi...that was just a beautifully written recap. So skillful. Like Güera, I didn't see the episode (my TV was "macroblocking" tonight and I just gave up on watching anything) but your recap not only made me SEE everything, I also HEARD everything Chatooooooo! So well done, amiga. Thank you. The Captain Van Trapp image especially brought it to life, but the bathroom search and discover scenes sounded great also.
Glad your team lunch didn't include tequila. Any amount of alcohol puts me to sleep so I'd be useless in the office for sure. Wise decision.
************************************
Do we have any takers yet for Private 057's recap Tuesday? Any lurkers out there wanting to try?

Vivi, I haven't been watching this but when I saw your great title, I was hooked.
As already noted, this was very well written. Your summaries are always infused with great observations and humor:"Ale’s also really a softie under that hard, silver cocktail dress, exterior" Of course, the Captain von Trapp reference was excellent.

Good morning and thanks everyone for the nice comments!
Guera and Judy: So sorry you ladies had tech troubles and couldn’t see the show last night. There were some great, funny visuals.
Barbara: I was all about money first, kiss later, as well. Them finding the money was good enough for me.
Pata: I am also worried about this idea Chavez has. The great thing about this show is that although the villains haven’t been totally found out yet, they never really hit a home run with their schemes. I am counting of this idea backfiring somehow.
Private 057: Have fun in Italy! I hope you have some photos you can share when you get back (no pressure though if you want to keep that private). That thought passed my mind as well that the mystery other woman Daniel has in mind is Ale. But not sure how he would make that work since Ale has more than enough men in her life- her husband and her true love.
Diana: Thanks for dropping in!

Thank you Vivi for a great and very descriptive recap.
So glad they found the money. I sort of knew they would but still very nerve wracking. The scene with them fighting over the cases was sooo funny.
I also loved Dona Arcadia going after her sales team and rounding them up. She is so funny with Chatooo and her dogs. When she first came on the show I couldn't figure out why they had introduced this character but I have become very fond of her and enjoy when she is on.
Poor Marian. She just doesn't stand a chance with Rafa. I don't like her with Daniel either as he already has someone else lined up in case it doesn't work out with her.
And we all know that Julieta will come around to Jaime. I agree Private 057 that Jaime needs to just give her some space. The scene at the apartment with VVV was pretty innocent and seeing how Julieta knows VVV she should have known better or at least let him explain.
Hope you have a nice vacation Private.

And we all know that Julieta will come around to Jaime. I agree Private 057 that Jaime needs to just give her some space. The scene at the apartment with VVV was pretty innocent and seeing how Julieta knows VVV she should have known better or at least let him explain.
Hope you have a nice vacation Private.

What fun Vivi. Excellent recap filled with hilarity. This was a very funny episode.
Up till now a lot of doña Arcadia's scenes have seemed superfluous and at times almost annoying. Not last night. Her relentless tracking down of the wayward sales crew and their pleas for mercy, each in turn on bended knees was choice. Subtle it was not, but it had me laughing out loud.I cracked up when she told Dolores that she is not afraid of her food (though she didn't want it for her doggies).
Daniel is certainly becoming a pest. I can't decide if he is most like a pesky horsefly, or is more of a Mexican Pepe le Pew. He keeps popping up at the most inconvenient moments.
The struggle over the money bad was very funny as well. Ale was cute trying to mediate between Rafa and the salesguy.
Vicki was in good form heading into today and Chavez has an idea infernal. Looks promising.

Great recap, Vivi, I loved your theme of kissus interruptus.
I loved when Doña Arcadia had them all lined up (as you said, Von Trapp style), according to height. It's fun that many of the women are taller than several of the guys. And of course each Siglo employee had a unique way of begging for forgiveness.
I agree with Private 057 and the others that Daniel's "backup plan" is probably Ale. I also agree that Ale already has enough men. But maybe Marian will get jealous, and decide she wants Daniel after all. Even though I'm not so sure Daniel is right for her, this could happen.
The funniest scene in the whole show (for me) was after Ale and Rafa recovered the money, they sort of bumped hands, then touched hands, then the camera jumped back and forth between the two of them, as they had very goofy looks, not knowing if they'd kiss, should they be happy, etc. It's hard to convey in words, but they looked so silly in their confusion, I just burst out laughing. Ale especially has so many funny expressions, I think she could be a comedienne if the acting thing stops working.

Thanks Vivi, an excellent recap for a very fun episode. I enjoyed so many scenes last night. Dona Arcadia's search for the sales crew was hilarious. I was laughing so hard at Trapito attempting to hide behind the pillar, Ramirez halfway under the table, Arcadia opening the stall of the random guy and her lining them all up Von Trapp style (perfect comparison!)
Of course my favorite scenes were all of Rafa and Ale's near kisses. The one where Rafa was hesitating and mumbling had me yelling at the tv "shut up and kiss her already!" I love all of this suspense when it looks like they're so close to getting back together.

Thanks for the great recap.
Since we saw Arcadia eating a huge plate of comida in a previous episode, I was surprised she didn't sit down and eat with them after they kissed her robe. I, too think Daniel is thinking of hitting on Ale to make Rafa angry and Marian jealous. (And criticizing his uncle's tie is just another snotty remark from him - poor Marian getting him for a novio) And not only kissus interruptus - but after Ale and Rafa finally get the money, they barely hug - a quick distant grab and go like you give that uncle you don't like much. What was that about?

Vivi, thanks for your very fun and descriptive recap of an enjoyable episode.
I'm so glad the money situation was resolved as my stomach couldn't take much more acid producing tension. The black bag back and forth scene was funny but the Rafa could have just told the guy he had his medical equipment case in his office and saved himself some very sore arms. I wanted to kick Rafa you know where to get him to just go ahead and give Ale a kiss. After all, he told her he loved her more than ever several times and her lips were all puckered up and ready. Hmmm, the writers love to toy with us constantly.
Vicky and Marcos are edging closer and closer to being residents at a the manicomio.

Sheila- I would be surprised if we didn't see Arcadia deciding to sit down with the sales team for a Trancazo meal after she feels they've been scolded enough.
Carlos- Vicky should be in fine form tonight. That should be fun to see indeed. :) Things never seem to work out for her when she gets all dressed up to see Rafa. As for the diabolical plan that has sprouted from Chavez's coco, I can't even imagine!
