Qué Bonito Amor #28 (Mex 41.5-42) Wednesday 5/22/13 Patín de Diablo, Swings, and sneakers with lights




Scenes were re-arranged for continuity......

Elvira figures she's got it made and swears Maria will pay for what she did years ago. 

Meanwhile, Maria sits in her room and.....what else, cries

Los Battling Bickersons

Ruben and Lorena battle over her failed plan.  She's appalled he would dare mention Maria's name in her home.  She blames Maria for ending their marriage.  Ruben sees it differently; they're the only ones to blame for the end of their marriage and warns her not to go near Maria again.  “Oh yeah?  Who's gonna stop me? I'm capable of doing anything to get that intruder out of our lives, you understand?”  Ruben assures her that even if she were to succeed in removing Maria from their lives, better yet even if Maria didn't exist, he still wouldn't return to her.  He stopped loving her many years ago.  It would be best if they could just come to an agreement.  Lorena swears she will never (jamás!) grant him a divorce.  She'll die first. 


Casa Mendoza
For some reason Maria runs out into the pouring rain wearing only her robe and rebozo.  El galán Jorge arrives draped in a sarape and they kiss.  They eventually part and he swears his usual cantaleta: there's nothing between him and Elvira.  Maria just doesn't know what to think.  It almost destroys her to think how he hurts her and breaks her heart.  He urges her to believe him and wants her to speak to Fernando, he'll tell her everything.  For her part, she wants Jorge to understand there is nothing between her and Ruben.  She only went with him because of her injured ankle, she couldn't walk!  He asks her forgiveness, again.  At last he suggests they get in out of the rain and he carries her back to her apartment as Que Bonito Amor plays, again.  They pause at the foot of the stairs to smooch. 

They reach the couch and he inspects her ankle.  He lovingly kisses her foot to make it feel better along with bandaging it.  He prescribes plenty of rest then carries her to her bedroom door, kisses her goodnight and leaves. 

Casa Colosso  (music in background: Trago Amargo Licor)
Meanwhile, in another much drier part of town, Oscar and Elvira do some macking of their own.  He wants to know if Maria was pithed.  Elvira assures him she was furious.  That's what he likes best about Elvira, she so canija (naughty/mean).  She declares they make a good pair.  He knocks her off his lap and tells her not to talk about couples, it makes him lose his inspiration.

A knock at the door.  Elvira quickly hides in the other room.  Oscar opens the door – it's Gloria!  She utters those 5 words all men fear:“We need to talk!”  (In Spanish it's only 3 – tenemos que hablar)  She pleads with him to at least make the effort to get to know him (Rodrigo).  She pulls out the medalla he gave her at the San Francisco de Asisi fiesta.  Has he forgotten?  Elvira peeks out from the other room and Gloria sees her. 

Gloria agrees to leave since he has company.  He doesn't ask her to stay.  She gives him the medalla and leaves in tears.  Elvira is curious about this woman and who was she referring to when she suggested he get to know “him” better.    Achis, achis, los mariachis!  None of your beeswax!  Elvira asks again about Gloria but he kicks her out instead.  He looks at the medalla and gets sentimental.

El Siguiente Dia
Fernando and Jorge work on their shoes at Jorge's place.  Fernando points out that Del Olmo is a very influential man with a lot of money.  Hasn't Jorge thought of the consequences of going from brawl to brawl, drawing attention to himself?  No one knows where he came from and they're very suspicious.  Jorge complains he's fed up with that tipo!  That “tipo”, says Fernando, can cause him a lot of problems.  He asks Jorge to remember he's a fugitive of justice.  How can Jorge forget when his friend is imprisoned for a crime neither of them committed? 

Fernando reminds him it's not his fault his friend is in jail.  That doesn't stop Jorge from feeling badly.  If only he hadn't given him that 300K car!  Fernando is astounded at the price and wishes he had known Jorge when he was Santos.  Jorge responds that would have resulted with Fernando being in jail.  Oh well, never mind.  All kidding aside Jorge must stop with the brawling lest someone find out his true identity.  Especially Maria.

El Lay
Mike continues to profess his innocence to the - warden?   The warden scoffs that all prisoners say they're innocent!  Mike explains he's going stir crazy and needs something to do.   He asks if he can participate in the orthodontic program.  Warden gets a call just then and announces that Mike has a visitor. 

Maria and Anita(?) (still can't tell these girls apart) are on “el micro” (bus).  Anita can't believe Maria forgave Jorge yet again!  Maria steadfastly believes he didn't cheat on her.  Anita doesn't believe this considering Maria caught him with a woman on his lap!  Anita wonders what he did to gain her forgiveness.  Maria explains how he stood before her in the midst of a storm!  Anita's not impressed but Maria thought it was the most romantic thing she's ever seen.  Anita dubs Maria “el venado” or “la  venadita” (deer) cuz she's never seen such big cuernos in her life!  (remember that in Spanish, when someone cheats on you, te estan poniendo los cuernos). 

Jorge's Digs
Jorge waits impatiently for his lady love and she appears.  They smooch as Prudencia's sis Remedios arrives and exclaims, “Ay, Que Bonito Amor”  Jorge introduces Remedios to Maria. 

Jorge and Maria head off and we get a bit of culture watching “concheros” dance as the cathedral bells ring.  They watch a sanador de almas (soul healer) do his work.  El sanador approaches Jorge and announces that his soul is divided.  He's left part of it elsewhere.  He must reunite his soul so he can fulfill his love.  Oooooh, spooky.

Maria tends to agree Jorge left something behind in El Lay.  What bothered Jorge most was when he mentioned the darkness and evil.  (was this part edited out?) She wonders if this is why he finds it necessary to return to El Lay.  Jorge hesitates, hems and haws when Maria is distracted.  She spots Isabel trying out a scooter (patin del diablo).  Maria scolds her, telling her she should learn in an enclosed area.  Behind her back, Isabel tells her friend to bring the patin back to her place.

El Lay
Mike continues to ask about the orthodontic program.  Warden will think about it but warns Mike that if he knows about Santos' whereabouts and doesn't say anything, he'll have 2 years added to his sentence. 

Ruben's Office
Fabian is fed up with investigating Jorge.  Isn't it enough that even a lowly police employee knows Ruben's rival is a mariachi?  Ruben knows Vargas is hiding something.  Fabian figures if anything, he should be hiding his poverty and arrogance.  What's all this about paying off a debt of 70k pesos when he doesn't even have enough to die in?  Ruben insists he's hiding something. 

El Lay
Mike's visitor is none other than Justo.  He's very sorry to see Mike in jail.  Mike swears Santos is innocent and has committed no crime.  Justo is very grateful for Mike's continued support for his son.  Mike starts singing like a canary and spills the frijoles that OJGiuliano has been pressuring him to blame Santos in exchange for his freedom.  Justo is impactado.  Mike explains Giuliano is very interested in incriminating Santos.

Justo later visits OJ demanding an explanation.  OJ, you got a lot of 'splainin' to do!  Justo tells him he's aware OJ suggested Mike accuse Santos.  OJ can't believe Justo would believe a convicted felon.  Justo recalls that it was OJ who convinced Santos to flee.  He was the one most interested in Santos evading arrest.  He can only think of one reason:  OJ is behind the money laundering!!!  BAM!

Playground
Jorge pushes Isabel on the swing and in between pushes, he tells Maria that Ruben has separated from his wife and that he's a manipulator.  He wonders if Ruben went looking for her only to tell her about his separation.  Maria admits he came to see her to tell her he's in lurve with her.  Jorge, of course, isn't happy to hear this.  He complains about Maria forgiving Ruben after he humiliated her.  Maria reminds him it wasn't Ruben, it was his wife who was responsible.  Jorge is enraged.  Ruben should have publicly defended her.  Instead he left a check for 20k pesos at the bar and then declares his love for her!  And then, to top it off, she allowed him to take her home.  Maria reminds him she already told him why she allowed Ruben to take her home.  Well, she's flattered (halagar) Jorge's jealous because he's the man she loves.  It isn't worth it to argue over Ruben.  Besides it isn't Ruben or Elvira that will separate them.  Sooner or later, he's leaving.  She won't even bother to ask when because she doesn't want to know.  Isabel, who's been pushed on the swing this whole time (poor kid), tells Maria not to worry because Jorge told her he would stay on “infinitely”. He kindly corrects her that he said “indefinitely.  He admits to Maria that his family still hasn't been able to send him money.  She's sure his family will eventually come through.  Their discussion is interrupted by Isabel who's had enough of the swing.

El Lay
The argument between Justo and OJ continues.  OJ is appalled Justo would dare come to his house to accuse him.  If this continues, he'll have no choice but to sue him for defamation.  Justo's not swayed.  He won't stop til he gets to the bottom of this lodazal (muddy place).  OJ says he'll consider letting this pass because he knows how difficult it must be for Justo to accept that his son is nothing more than a crook.  Justo warns him he plans to get back at everyone who betrayed his son.  OJ declares his innocence saying he was also betrayed by Santos.  Justo tells him to be careful.  His son isn't here to defend himself but he is. 

Back at his house in the Hollywood hills, Justo fixes himself a drink.  He tells his wife about his visit to Mike and his accusation against OJ.  He's sure OJ is involved somehow.  He may not be the head guy but he's involved in some fashion.  Altagracia is frantic to go to her son.  Justo reminds her that's exactly what his enemies and the cops expect them to do and thus capture/hurt Santos.  Altagracia worries Santos needs their help.  Justo agress to at least send him some money anonymously. 

Still at the Playground,
Maria worries how she'll suffer when Jorge returns to El Lay.  He promises he'll return to her.  She reminds him how difficult it's been for him to get the funds necessary to return to El Lay.  It'll surely take him just as long to return to DF.  He explains when he returns to El Lay, he'll have two jobs.  Mechanic by day and Mariachi by night.  Ha ha.  He buys a rose from a passing vendor.  He asks her to think of it as his heart so she won't forget him.  She assures him she'll never forget him.

It's getting late and she needs to get back to help mom with Paloma's Quinceañera dress.  Jorge spies Isabel looking longingly at another girl's light up sneakers.  Jorge calls her over and pretends they're going to play with the “tablet” her mother bought her.  The light-up sneaker girl looks on and is bugged a little to hear they have a tablet.  Maria doesn't think these lies are a good idea.  Blah, blah, blah..  Jorge and Maria kiss good bye.  Honestly, making out in front of a bunch of impressionable young girls,  tsk, tsk.

A Boy Named Sue
Mancia looks on as Susano croons to his broom and heaves a huge sigh.  She's sure that's the sigh of love!  Ay, ay, ay!

B&B Internet
Jorge visits the internet cafe and sees the video mail from his parents.  He's so sad for everything they're going through.  Mom urges him not to come back.  They tell him they're sending money on another e-mail (wait, wouldn't this be sufficient evidence that they’re helping a fugitive?  Sorry, my beanie slipped for a second)

El Lay
Curtis and Derecho go through their usual silliness and discuss Santos' possible sentence once he's caught.  Usual waste of time


End of Part I

================================================


Part II


Casa Mendoza
The Mendoza ladies are working on Paloma's Qunceañera dress.  Paloma enters and reminds them she doesn't want a fiesta or a dress.  What for?  She doesn't even have a chambelán!  It was all a stupid dream, just like the dress......and just like everything!!! (teenage angst, ugh)

A Boy Named Sue
Susanito waits outside Irasema's door with a large bouquet of flowers.  His idyllic bubble is burst when she arrives and asks QTH is he doing here? He's confused and wonders if it's the flowers she doesn't like – he'll buy another, more beautiful bouquet!  Better yet, they can pick one out together!  She asks if he's spoken to Jorge.  She tells him to scram and find another who will love him.  He doesn't want another, she taught him what it is love someone (and a few other things, wink, wink).  If it's something he's done, he'll change.  Anything, so long as she doesn't leave him!  She tells him he hasn't done anything wrong. She just can't love him. Life didn't give her that option (permission).  She's sorry but he needs to find his way and borrowing the phrase and title of a Mariachi Top 40, she says “Ojala Que Te Vaya Bonito.”  She leaves him standing outside.  He's sad—boohoo. C'mon, Susanito cannot end up with a hooker. 

Casa de Reyes
Gloria tells Rodrigo there's nothing wrong with being a chambelán.  He's worried everyone will make fun of him. (burlar)  Gloria thinks otherwise.  Everyone will be envious of him because he'll be dancing with the beautiful Paloma.  He finally confesses he doesn’t know how to dance.  In the age old custom of all telenovelas, sitcoms, and 50's TV shows, Gloria gets him up to teach him the Quinceañera Valz

Casa Mendoza
Across town Paloma cries her little heart out.  Maria hates to see her so sad and tells her she shouldn’t give up on her dreams.  Paloma cries that Rodrigo was part of that dream and without him it's all meaningless, waaah!  Maria reminds her she still has her sisters and Mom.  They'd give their life for her.  Paloma doesn't think it will be the same.  Maria assures her fiesta will be everything she wanted, and more.  She tries to make her laugh and succeeds in convincing her party must go on.  She tells her the most important thing is that they're all together.  Everything else will sort itself out.  Isa and mom come out to join the crying fest.

Casa de Reyes
Gloria continues the dance lesson only now they're doing kind of a quebradita dance.  He twirls her around and she becomes dizzy and has to sit down.  Rodrigo becomes really worried.

Sullen Susanito
The dejected Mariachi walks aimlessly down the street and risks getting run down.  He thought bubbles again about what he could have done wrong.  Is it possible he could be......?  No, no, no.

Irasema is in her apartment having her own pity party.  She looks at her withered flower arrangement and says, “Marchitas, como yo!  (withered, like me)”

Next we see Susanito on top of a building near Garibaldi later in the evening.  He will never fall in love again.  Irasema is his life.  He looks down and sees her walking.  His only purpose in life now will be to remember her. 

Irasema is having her own thoughts and how difficult it will be to go on when she thinks of everything she could have had with him.  She apologizes to Susanito for having destroyed both their hearts.

Casa Mendoza
Isa and Mom share a torta Azteca (great recipe for this by Marcela Valladolid on Food Network, just sayin')  Isa is telling her about her day w/Jorge and Maria.  She doesn't understand why Mom doesn't like Jorge.  Mom says in the end it doesn't matter how she feels because sooner or later, he's leaving anyway.  Isa thinks it may be sooner cuz she heard them talking about it.

Rebeca arrives and Isa goes rushing out to meet her.  Amalia tells her it's ok if they're going to jump rope (saltar la rueda) for awhile but warns her not to leave the vecindad.  Isa meets Rebeca on the stairs and she's brought that darn Patin de Diablo (ruh-roh).  They go out to the sidewalk so she can learn how to ride it when Ruben drives up.  The girls hide from him so he won't snitch on them.  They wait until he's out of sight they go looking for a downward slope so it'll be more exciting (double ruh-roh).  Isa takes off downhill and wakala! We hear a car horn and we next see Isa thrown on the floor.   


Tragos de Amargo Licor (played when Gloria came to Oscar’s door)

clavado en este rincon 
como tu clavastes a mi corazon 
estos tragos que tomo yo
son pura tristeza 
y son mi dolor

te fuiste no se por que 
yo se que me querias
y se que me adorabas 
por si acaso quieres regresar
te voy a esperar te voy a esperar

tragos de amargo licor 
que no me hacen olvidar
y me siento como un cobarde
que hasta me pongo a llorar

te fuiste no se por que 
yo se que me querias
y se que me adorabas 
por si acaso quieres regresar
te voy a esperar te voy a esperar

tragos de amargo licor 
que no me hacen olvidar
y me siento como un cobarde
que hasta me pongo a llorar

Here's Part I

Part II will be posted in the morning. 'Night all!
 

We're still in extended episodes. Tonight will be #43.
 

I am itching to know what happened "years ago" that Elvira still resents Maria over. No matter what it was I would take Rhett Butler's advice here if I were Concho or Lourdes.

Though it does serve her right that Oscar is only using her for free sex.

While I would normally think Gloria should have spilled the frijoles it's better that Elvira doesn't know.
 

Great first part, Paquita.
Wow, Ruben arrives at Maria's house while Isa has an accident in neighboorhood street (liked that nick 'patin del diablo' even though it is sort of a pdeclared anvil), and in previews Amalia and Paloma ride the ambulance with Isa while Ruben goes to bar to let Maria know and gives her ride to hospital. Poor Santos is huffing and puffing running on foot...
sounds like Maria will be owing Ruben MORE money yet... yikes!
 

Great Part I, Paquita--I see Martaivett has the same opinion. Mine just take longer to appear and longer to write. Thank you for the embedded vocabulary. Now, for an opportunity to use cantaleta and canijo/a.

UA--I'm wondering now if it isn't the intention of Uni to keep smushing up the episodes to finish earlier than we expected. If this is #43 tonight, it's been going on too long, for just catching up.

Uni must have some perverse plan for staggering all 4 hours evenly to keep us glued to our pantallas or on-line.

The minute I saw Maria appear in her robe & slippers, I knew there was going to be a reconciliation. We just saw her get back into bed 2 sec. ago. It was silly for them to keep kissing in the pouring rain when they could have just stepped inside the double doors. But that's BINGO for some of us. Unfortunately for me, the rain dampens their voices and I couldn't hear everything they said to each other, so thank you Paquita for filling in the holes (although I got the gist of it). I wish Maria would remember her own words from one *misunderstanding* to the next.

Give me Jorge Alfredo to minister to my twisted ankles anytime. Maria made a full recovery by morning and back in her regular shoes.

I actually reacted positively to Oscar after Elvira left. He can probably become a really good guy and look after his compadres without fleecing them, dump Elvira, bond with Rodrigo and help Gloria, even if they don't get back together. He just needs to accept the fact that Maria, with or without Jorge, isn't going to see him as potential mating material. Unfortunately where things were left last night, he thinks Elvira's caper worked and he's got the way to Maria obstacle-free again. How deluded.

OTOH, I'm getting tired of the breaking up/making up between JA & Maria. They should become an unified front against Elvira, Oscar and Ruben.

A propos El Lay. It took me several readings to catch on. My brain is a lodazal right now.

Can't wait for Part II

Anita La Dama del Queso
 

Anita I also softened a bit seeing how Oscar reacted after Gloria left and he threw the slut out. Maybe there is some real good in him he has kept hidden.

I also felt sad by the little scene between ira and Sue. She really does have a heart of gold and probably given other choices would never have become a prostitute.

OJ sure didn't like being called out by Justo. He fancies himself a big shot bullying Bronze Bruno and thuggy Arnold and setting up his friends but he is no mental match for Justo who is not going to let him keep trashing JAntos.

I like the relationship between Fernando and JAntos. There is an easy give and take between the actors which bring those scenes to life.

I'm getting sick of weepy Maria and her three bitter sidekicks. We get it, they've had bad experiences with men but do they need to poison everything around them.

Love that little Isa. She's got the spine that her sisters don't seem to have. I'm wondering if with that accident in the previews if she is going to need blood and none of her "family" will match.

We need to add medic to the list of talents in JAntos resume along with cook and babysitter which I meant to mention a few days ago.


 

Part II is up! Sorry that took so long. I wanna know why it is that every time it's my turn there are no mariachi performances. hmmmmmm

I added the lyrics to "Tragos de Amargo Licor" so true, so true. Great song to drown your tears in tequila. Susanito should sing this.

I totally do not want to see Susanito end up with Irasema. C'mon, she's a hooker. I wouldn't want that for my son, brother, or friend. Just my opinion.

 

About Susanito, did Jorge pay her to sleep with him?
 

Ellie-- There 'might' have been some money changed hands, but JAntos didn't have any money to spare and we heard him *asking* Irasema if she would do him a favor. She said gladly, then he explained that it was really a favor for a friend.

 

No JA didn't pay Ira, she did him a favor.

I'm just wondering how the writers are going to incorporate Jorge Salinas' recent eye injury into the story line. He used the wrong eye drops and burned his corena and had to wear an eye patch. Apparently things are better now but it was a couple of weeks.
 

Diecie Girl--All it would take is an accident with a whip (hehe). Or a poke with a sharp instrument by El Coloso, Concho, Pichi, Elvira, even horsing around with Isa (which we all know can't since she's off to the hospital tonight). Maybe Susanito will be so gol darn mad at Jorge for his little set up that Jorge gets a broomstick in his eye--by accident, of course. It's easy enough to get an eye infection from falling into the waters around Xochimilco, too. Goodness, the possibilities are endless.

 

Maria should go to L.A. with Santos but Isabel's accident will prevent that.

And possibly his return to L.A.

I don't think he paid Irasema. However, this is not going to be easy to explain to Susanito.

I've already seen photos of the eye patch, but have no idea what will be said in the story. I dearly hope this didn't cause him any permanent damage.
 

Anita

So true it does add a little twist and he looked very cool with his mariachi suit and eye patch. My feeling would lean to another dust up betwen him and Coloso or even Rueben. They've been swinging punches all along. Of course on the other hand maybe no impat scene just some passing reference to somthing. in any event it will tell us how far aheas they are in the actual filming,
 

Maria has begged him to stop fighting...or else that's the end of their reltionship. JAntos will try to honor that, but...if something really big comes along, he won't hold back.

So, we still have two ways for it to happen--fighting or an accident. With this Mess-ajía, it's a toss up and I wouldn't even want to guess.
 

UA--It's too bad JA isn't as good as The Rogue in PEAM at making up believable lies and sticking to them! Poor Susano--maybe Irasema will help out, although she didn't really let him down easy. She should have taken the flowers, thanked him and then sat him down to have that "birds and the bees" talk.
 

I agree. One of the three pretty waitresses should get him. They're all showing off the ripe fruit to whet the guys' appetites but it doesn't look like they take the frat boy crap.

So any of them could take on a suegra like Mancia!
