Qué Bonito Amor #26 (Mex 38.2-39) Monday 5/20/13
Capitulo
38.2: Pretense and Denial
Mendoza
Apartment: La vipora de Elvira enters the Mendoza apartment to
return the sombrero to Amalia along with her poisonous lie about
Jorge Alfredo spending the night with her. Maria – in a classic
case of bad timing – arrives just in time to hear this. Amalia
asks Elvira why she didn't return the sombrero to Jorge Alfredo and
gets the response that it is being returned “to its proper owner”
because something this elegant can't belong to someone who doesn't
value it. However, Amalia appears to have Elvira's number at least
in one way: She calls her on her lie, saying she recognizes her evil
intentions. She tells Elvira carefully that she is of low moral
character. Elvira pretends to be on some high horse, demanding to
know how Almira dares talk to her that way. Almira answers “the
same way you dare to come here to disturb the peace of this house.
Ge out of here and leave my daughter alone. Get out of here and
don't return if you don't want me to confront your parents and tell
them what sort of 'person' you really are.” Perhaps shocked that a
woman like Amalia has told her off so effectively the nasty bitch
departs saying “I'm going. This is like talking to a dog.”
Maria follows her out. Amalia doesn't like that and we don't either.
Jorge
Alfredo's Apartment: He tells Lourdes she is mistaken about him;
things are not as they appear. She doesn't look willing to listen.
Her next statement proves how mistaken she is, saying that she's sure
he has no dignity [What projection!], he's after their money,
and he has never had anything in his life. He sees the futility of
attempting to explain anything to her and suggests they wait for
Elvira so she can learn the truth by observing her own daughter. She
is not willing. He tries one more time to explain that nothing is
going on between him and Elvira and he is not interested in her
money. If she's not willing to wait for Elvira, it's better if she
leaves. “Are you throwing me out?” she asks with a mocking
expression. He tells her she may be the boss at the bar, but not in
his house. She sticks her nose in the air and departs.
Deleted
Scene in JNTR, Office:
Don Concho is sure Lourdes suspects something [Was he borracho
when Lourdes walked in on them?]; Mirna asks if this is the end
of them. She's very peeved at what feels to her like being cast
aside after “muchos años.” “It's not going to be that easy.”
Concho obviously doesn't want this, but looks genuinely afraid. He
should be because Mirna – in the cliché words of every gangster
movie we've ever seen – knows too much. Like that the late Pedro
Mendoza invested money in the bar and his widow doesn't know that.
That gets his attention.
Street
in front of Mendoza Apartment: Elvira marches out in her FM
shoes with Maria following. Maria demands to know what she was doing
with her father's sombrero. The mujer suela answers that she should
ask Jorge Alfredo since she showed up and crashed the party. Maria
asked what she was doing on Jorge Alfredo's lap. She tells her to
just stop dreaming and give up; she has nothing that interests Jorge
Alfredo. That Jorge Alfredo has come to her for what she can't give
him. Without using the phrase “muerte de hambre” she goes on
about how that is what Maria is compared to herself with money and a
fancy car [although it's obvious to all of us who has the better
taste in clothes, and that's just the beginning]. Maria is
clearly out of her depth in dealing with women like this because she
attempts to defend Jorge Alfredo's indifference to wealth. This does
not impress the vipora, who says she has never met any pobre who
didn't appreciate help in getting ahead. She ends with “Pero no te
preocupes, when I'm tired of him you can have him back” or
something to that effect before getting into her car and driving off.
[Dice de basura humana].
Deleted
Scene in JNTR, Office: Mirna jokingly tells him to
control his wild cat, growls at him, and exits. Concho looks rather
weary... and a little wary at the same time.
Mendoza
Apartment: It is evident from this exchange that Maria realized
that the serenata supposedly commissioned by Elvira's friend was a
trap. She won't give her mother the details. Almira doesn't press
for them, but says it had to have been something very serious for
Jorge Alfredo to be hanging out outside their apartment all night.
This causes Maria to look up as she prepares to leave for work.
Amalia tells her that Jorge Alfredo came looking for her.
Deleted
Scene in JNTR Musicians' Dressing Room: Jairo is
buttoning his shirt as Mirna enters to ogle him. And come on to him.
She is interrupted by the waitress whom he was flirting with in the
previous episode who clears her throat, comments that the door was
left open, and she doesn't want them thinking her a gossip. Jairo
and Mirna laugh.
Los
Angeles
Parking
Garage: Giuliano and Bruno approach what looks like a taxi stand
when they are stopped by two suited thugs with high-powered rifles.
A black sedan pulls up with a screech and the thugs force them
inside. It takes off.
Deleted
Scene in Maria's Dressing Room: Ana and Lety talk about
their hopeless love lives, the latter mentioning seeing Jairo with
Mirna. “Todos los hombres son eguales.” Same old song here.
Jorge
Alfredo's Apartment: He folds the colorful serape and leaves,
clad in the black traje.
Unknown
Location in Los Angeles: To the sound of staccato suspense
music Giuliano and Bruno are seated back to back in chairs and tied
up. A bright interrogation light shines from above as the two thugs
from before and a third one hang out in the background and the
Godfather speaks ominously to these two lowlifes. [Note that we
do not see his face throughout this scene nor will we through the
remainder of the episode.] This is not the first mistake they've
made, but will be their last. They should remember prison well
enough to not be making mistakes. The police could find out a lot
from further investigation. He asks about the photo of Santos; Bruno
tells him that they don't know where Santos is. He has disappeared.
Pension:
Jorge Alfredo approaches the desk and asks Doña Prudencia if
anyone was looking for him. He has the serape draped over his right
shoulder. She comments on how handsome he looks in those clothes [We
agree] and that he reminds her of Don Pedro. [Ewww; that was
for Maria.] He asks whether she knew him. She tells him she
didn't know him that well, but knew he was an interesting person. We
hear an old recording in the background and she drones on about
childhood memories of Jorge Negrete's movies. [There appears to
be a continuity error here regarding timelines or Doña Prudencia is
getting a little senile.] Jorge Alfredo listens to her
indulgently as she describes having “Las Mañanitas” sung to her
by both Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante. She gets very emotional
about this as we hear that recording.
Unknown
Location in Los Angeles: The Godfather demands his dinero,
which the two lowlifes do not have. Bruno starts to speak up but
Giuliano tells him to stifle himself. The Godfather also wants
Santos never to return to L.A. Giuliano asks for a month. If he
can't find Santos in that time he has fallen off the face of the
earth.
Pension:
More of the old recording in the background and another
Valentine to Mexico.
Garage:
The three thugs have Giuliano and Bruno on their knees as they tell
them at gunpoint that they have one month or else. They get into the
sedan and drive off. Giuliano says “See what you've gotten into?”
and tells Bruno he has to marry Wendy. Bruno tells him that this
money is that of Santos' family. Giuliano tells him this situation
is his fault and now he has to get the money to get them out of it.
He has their lives in his hands.
Federal
Prison Visiting Room: Michael's lawyer goes off on him about how
his friends have gotten free and he is in prison for eight years
because he didn't denounce Santos. [The echo in that room is
giving me some trouble understanding this actor.] Mike gets up
and says that he is the victim of a conspiracy. Someone took
advantage of his friendship with Santos to frame them for the money
laundering. His lawyer tries to convince him that Santos betrayed
him and he's free while Michael will be in prison for eight years.
It looks as though Michael might weaken. [Author's note: Victor
Noriega is not maturing well.]
Deleted
scene in Hotel Room: Bruno tells Wendy they need
to see her parents to make up with them because they can't start
their marriage with a rift. She agrees, saying all she wants is for
them to be FPS (felices para siempre). He looks pretty guilty
through this, but leaves with her.
Prison
Cell: Michael hears his lawyer's words echoing in his ears. He
is losing his huevos.
Garza
Mansion: Bruno and Wendy have come to ask her parents to give
their marriage the parental blessing. [Here Bruno looks as though
he has aged 20 years since the first episode.] Neither
Altagracia nor Justo are inclined to give it. Wendy tells them she
will marry Bruno with or without their consent [How old is she
anyway?] and tries to pull the you-love-Santos-but-not-me guilt
card once again. Altagracia isn't having it and she exits. Justo
tells Wendy to do as she wants; they still love her. This still
doesn't exactly look like an endorsement.
Deleted
scene in JNTR: The waitresses prepare the Tostitos
snack in the package as they talk about Jorge Alfredo being in love
with Maria.
Mendoza
Apartment (outside): Isabel comes down to see Jorge Alfredo and
she is annoyed with him. She knows about him sleeping outside and
about the sombrero.
Street:
Paloma and Rodrigo talk about her quinceñera. She wants him to
be her chamberlain. He doesn't answer right away.
Mendoza
Apartment (outside): Isabel tells him that the sombrero was
returned. He asks her for it but not to tell her mother. She shouts
for her mother against his wishes after telling him she was to call
her mother if he showed up.
Street:
Paloma is disappointed in his silence and he finally admits that he
doesn't want to do this because he thinks the whole thing is
ridiculous. Besides, he can't dance and doesn't want anyone making
fun of him for it. [Where have we heard this before?] Poor
Paloma hears his refusal echoing in her mind.
Mendoza
Apartment: Amalia gets on our last nerves again, trying to
convince Jorge Alfredo he does nothing but hurt Maria. Neither is
particularly forgiving. She points out that the sombrero is more
than just a hat; it is Maria's heart. [Amalia, why the hell can't
you admit what your real problem is?]
Maria's
Dressing Room: The waitresses sing the chorus of Amalia's old
song about men being no good. Lagrimas de Maria with her ongoing
confusion, lamenting that her ideals have been hurt.
Mendoza
Apartment: Amalia hands the sombrero to Jorge Alfredo saying
she is giving Maria's heart. He can accept it and take care of and
protect it or decline to. Of course he accepts. However, his exit
is accompanied by sad music.
Capitulo
39: El Duelo de Pasiónes
Del Olmo
Casa: Rubén is packing a suitcase, telling Lorena that his
lawyers will contact her about the divorce and his visits to their
children. As long as she is raising the children she can remain in
the house (stating also that it is his house). She throws a pillow
at him and goes on pathetically about how could he throw their
marriage in the garbage for that insignificant lowlife female. All
while crying either pathetically or manipulatively; we aren't sure
which. Rubén stares at her, almost as though he were about to
cross-examine a trial witness.
JNTR
Musicians' Dressing Room: Jorge Alfredo sits down, kisses the
serape, and puts it in a drawer with the theme instrumentals in the
background. He finally stands and puts on the sombrero.
Del Olmo
Casa: Rubén tells Lorena that their marriage was over a long
time ago. She is not to worry about money; she will be protected as
long as their children live in the house. She is not to try to
manipulate him further. She threatens to destroy Maria if he leaves
her. “You have no idea how much I've suffered.” He is not
falling into this one, saying “We'll see who makes who suffer” as
he zips the suitcase and exits. As the non-ranchera background music
travels down a minor key, she curses Maria for stealing her husband
and ruining her life, swearing that she will destroy Maria's life.
Maria's
Dressing Room: She does a sewing repair as Jorge Alfredo enters.
She tells him she doesn't want to see him or even hear his name. He
tries to get her to listen to him about the double case of
misunderstanding (him at the ambush serenata and her meeting Oscar),
but Maria is being stubborn again against all logic. He brings up
the humiliating situation at the Olmo party. She denies involvement
with Rubén; he denies involvement with Elvira. She brings up the
frequency of this and he brings up the duration of Rubén's pursuit
[4 years?]. Each speaks of being a victim in the case.
Jorge Alfredo wants to make up with her but Maria isn't willing. She
wants to end it. She could not stand how she felt seeing him with
the bar owner's daughter in his lap and doesn't want to fight about
it.
Musicians'
Dressing Room: Oscar, Jairo, and the guy who wants to go to NYC
talk about getting half the money from the ambush serenata which
segues to Maria looking for Oscar. He tells them she needed him but
doesn't reveal what that was about. Fernando listens to all this,
then politely excuses himself and exits. Jorge Alfredo enters, ready
to perform. He and Oscar exchange mutually antipathetic looks
before he exits. Oscar comments something that sounds like he knows
that Jorge Alfredo and Maria are fighting and he and his two jerky
friends laugh.
Deleted
scene in Mendoza Apartment: Almira tries to help Isabel
with her math homework with no success. Paloma arrives, crying over
Rodrigo's refusal to be her chamberlain.
Deleted
scene in Reyes Apartment: Rodrigo
tells Gloria about the same thing. He wishes Paloma had asked him
anything else. Gloria tries to get him to understand that this
important and it is an honor to be asked this. He doesn't want the
other guys making fun of him.
Deleted
scene in Mendoza Apartment: Amalia tries to assure Paloma
that other boys would love to have this honor, but she doesn't want
to dance with anyone else. As Amalia hugs Paloma Isabel suggests
that Rodrigo probably turned Paloma down because he doesn't know how
to dance. [Now, how does she know that?]
Deleted
scene in Reyes Apartment:
Rodrigo looks at a video of Paloma on his computer screen while
flashing back to scenes in the park. Their song plays as she cries
at the same time.
Deleted
scene in JNTR, Club Room: Fernando tries to apologise to
Ana but this isn't working. She backs away when he attempts to kiss
her cheek and he ends up kissing her forehead instead. Lety watches,
shaking her head.
Musicians'
Dressing Room: Oscar needles Jorge Alfredo once again. Mirna
enters and it's obvious she realizes the guys are being frat boys
again. Oscar teases her and gets “No; you don't have what I'm
looking for.” Some minor laughter. She tells him that Don Concho
wants to talk to him – all of them – to settle accounts. Oscar
is ready for this and he tells they guys “Let's go.” But before
they do he sticks the knife in Jorge Alfredo again over his fighting
with Maria, asking “Are you coming with us or are you going to sit
here and cry?” “Llorar, llorar” sing the others as they exit.
Jorge Alfredo holds his breath and doesn't rise to this bait.
Maria's
Dressing Room: She has been telling Lety and Jennifer about her
argument with Jorge Alfredo when Ana comes in telling her she is
expected in Don Concho's office immediately, along with all the guys.
They all become certain that this is about the disaster the night
before.
Musicians'
Dressing Room: Fernando and Jorge Alfredo talk about the same
thing; Fernando tries to get him to chill and talk to Maria and give
her a chance to get over it. Jorge Alfredo – in true romantic hero
fashion – talks about how his life in Los Angles is over and he is
without friends, without family, without money, with the Mexican
police and Interpol looking for him and.... all that matters is
Maria. Fernando is sympathetic and Jorge Alfredo says it was good
that he was never in love before.
Irasema's
Apartment: As she tarts herself up [thereby adding ten years
to her appearance] Irasema flashes back to the flower delivery
and Susanito's breakfast invitation.
Don
Concho's Office: Everyone arrives, with Mirna and Don Concho
entering last. He starts saying he's heard from Don Rubén regarding
the party last night. Maria offers to explain but Mirna stops her,
saying it isn't necessary. Don Concho announces that Don Rubén
gave him a checque for 20,000 pesos, which includes a bonus.
Everyone seems surprised except for Jorge Alfredo, who is not
pleased, having twice torn up checques from this perv. Don Concho is therefore increasing his commission to 20%.
Nobody objects. He hands a wad of cash to Oscar to distribute as he sees fit. As for the serenata the prior evening, Concho says he only got half the payment and the party refused to pay the rest. How did that happen, how are they going to make it up? Coloso looks at Jorgito, putting him on the spot again--ask him, he's the one at fault for not getting the full payment. . This goes into saying that Jorge Alfredo was singing
with a sore throat [possibly they mean something else?]. The
others say they also did. Don Concho is not getting involved with
their internal conflicts, telling them they need to settle among
themselves. [cobarde; he is not a good or effective boss] He tells them to get back to work and
do their job, finally exiting with Mirna. The musicians file out,
with Jorge Alfredo last. Oscar stops him and lets him know he isn't
handing over his money.
JNTR
Clubroom: Pinchi and the waiter make jokes over preparing snacks
with chips and salsa. One of the musicians arrives for a bite,
followed by Susanito, who gets a piece of the food action.
Los
Angeles
Deleted
Scene in Restaurant, presumably near the Police Precinct:
Curtis makes a fool of herself yet again, trying to seduce
Derecho out of retreating to archival work. A little jazz music in
the background tells us she is trying to pretend to be a femme fatale
as she leans into his space, almost pushing him down on the bench
seat while he's eating his french fries. Other patrons turn around
to look. He pretends to be part of the joke in order to save face.
[He may be smarter than we supposed.]
Deleted
Scene in JNTR Clubroom: Pinchi and the waiter run
up on stage with a female patron in between them, finishing off what
was probably a comedy routine. They introduce the three waitresses
who come on stage singing “La Reina es el Rey” a capella.
[Author's Wager: Each of these chicks is going to bag a mariachi
before the end of the series.]
Deleted
Scene in Rubén's Office: In what looks like a scene
straight out of Mad Men, he and Fabian talk about his
pending divorce. Rubén talks about how the children should not have
to hear their parents fighting all the time. Fabian – after
pouring businessmen's booze on
the rocks – tells Rubén it's his fault. He should
not be looking for sex outside the marriage. Rubén protests that he
hasn't boinked Maria. Fabian tells him that he needs to think of his
future. He should forget Maria and fix things with Lorena for the
good of his children, his career, and his money. Rubén tells him
that he's made up his mind. He's getting a divorce. He removes his
wedding ring and drops it on the desk for emphasis.
JNTR
Clubroom: Oscar greets the audience, telling the ladies they're
more beautiful than ever. He points out a table of single women and
the one of the single men that should join them; they take this
good-naturedly. He then introduces Maria, who enters in a fabulous
red strapless dress, followed by Jorge Alfredo in full traje and
serape. This begins their singing duel, starting with “Me
Equivoque Contigo” and going into four other songs, between which
they steal the microphone from each other. Oscar gets a big childish
kick out of this despite not being in control over it and despite
that Jorge Alfredo is starting to sound and emote more and more like
Alejandro Fernández. The audience is eating this up while Don
Concho seems to catch on to what is really happening. He is seated
with his wife, who may or may not understand what is happening.
There is a close-up of a male patron with sparse facial hair.
Finally, they sing “El Ultimo Trago” together and it looks as
though they might be working out their differences.
At the end
of the music Jorge Alfredo grabs Maria into a kiss which pleases the
audience. Oscar starts toward them, but is held off by Fernando to
avoid a scene. Maria is not pleased; she hauls off and slaps Jorge
Alfredo. Oscar laughs, Fernando looks concerned, the audience
applauds, probably thinking this is all an act. Maria and Jorge
Alfredo exit stage right and start arguing on the way to the dressing
rooms. Both are taking these songs seriously and she can't forget
the sight of Elvira on his lap. To the background of Don Vicente's
song, he tries to tell her that he has eyes for no other woman and
just when it looks like she believes him she decides she doesn't.
Fernando arrives when Jorge Alfredo tells her he will leave soon and
doesn't need her help; she says that's fine with her, and Fernando
finally comes down with mocking applause. The entire argument and
his comments use lyrics from the songs. Fernando finally tells them
they shouldn't drag their personal stuff onto the stage and that they
are arguing like children. He suggests that Jorge Alfredo get
cleaned up and Maria be quiet. Jorge Alfredo steps back, knocking
over the chair almost as though he were drunk. The microphone falls
to the floor along with the sombrero, which Fernando reproaches him
for as he exits. Finally he jokingly asks Maria when they got
married. She throws some water in his face and exits. Fernando
laughs, thinking it amusing that this is the daughter of Amalia
Garcia de Mendoza. Of course she's in love!
Del Olmo
Casa: Lorena – who is mas loca than we or her husband ever
realized – declares that if Rubén won't be hers he won't be
anyone's and that she will take care of this... singer (said in a
deprecating tone). She puts on a scarf and a pair of dark glasses to
ominous music.
Musicians'
Dressing Room: Although Fernando doesn't appear terribly
concerned Jorge Alfredo goes on about how ever since he's arrived in
Mexico all he's done is fight over things. He hasn't done anything
wrong. Fernando reminds him of Elvira sitting on his lap [although
he has to know that this was Elvira's trap]. Oscar arrives with
a handful of cash, peels off some bills for Fernando. Saying
something about Jorge Alfredo owing him three thousand, he hands him
nothing and exits. Jorge Alfredo declines to follow him, stating
that one day this guy will not forget who he is.
JNTR
Clubroom: Pinchi mops up the bar, satisfied with the evening's
events. Maria enters on her way out and he stops her, asking whether
Vargas is going to see her home. When she says no, he says that the
audience thought this evening was an act but he knows it was the
truth. He tries to get her to talk about it because he's concerned
and hopes to have the right advice. However, she doesn't want to
talk about it. He tries one more time but she wishes him good night,
accepts a fatherly kiss, and exits. He's left in a philosophical
mood as he finishes the clean-up.
Street
outside JNTR: Dark clouds cross in front of the moon as Maria
exits the building with her makeup case. Lorena, looking like
something out of James M. Cain, appears behind a young tree to watch.
The music builds up in a minor-key suspense leitmotif. A thug in a
hoodie (the guy from the audience) appears with a switchblade aimed
at Maria's face. She parries it aside with her case, then swings it
back right in his face, knocking him back toward the exterior of the
building. Lorena watches in frustration from behind the tree. The
thug recovers quickly, running back toward Maria with hands out to
grab her and she knees him right in the huevos, knocking him down to
the sidewalk. However, she makes the mistake of turning her back
while trying to get away and he grabs her ankle. As she tries to
pull away he gets closer to the knife and grabs it with his right
hand. We close on her terrified face while all viewers are exhorting
her to scream bloody murder.

Michael's
lawyer tells Justo his son's goose is cooked and another
misunderstanding is being cooked up.
Lyrics
from this Evening's Episode:
La
Reina es el Rey
Unos
dicen que el hombre no llora
Y otros dicen que el hombre is el rey
Yo les digo que todo es mentira
Que el hombre si llora por una mujer
Nada importa que sea muy valiente
Ni que tenga medallas de honor
Porque el hombre se vuelve cobarde
Y pierde su orgullo por un gran amor
coro (2 veces):
Y llora por ella, Y toma licor
Y aunque sea muy hombre se arrastra y se humilla nomas por su amor
Y que el hombre sera el que gobierna
Claramente lo dice la ley
Pero basta el embrujo de un beso
Y de ese momento, La Reina es el Rey
Nada importa que sea muy valiente
Ni que tenga medallas de honor
Porque el hombre se vuelve cobarde
Y pierde su orgullo por un gran amor coro:
Y llora por ella...
Y otros dicen que el hombre is el rey
Yo les digo que todo es mentira
Que el hombre si llora por una mujer
Nada importa que sea muy valiente
Ni que tenga medallas de honor
Porque el hombre se vuelve cobarde
Y pierde su orgullo por un gran amor
coro (2 veces):
Y llora por ella, Y toma licor
Y aunque sea muy hombre se arrastra y se humilla nomas por su amor
Y que el hombre sera el que gobierna
Claramente lo dice la ley
Pero basta el embrujo de un beso
Y de ese momento, La Reina es el Rey
Nada importa que sea muy valiente
Ni que tenga medallas de honor
Porque el hombre se vuelve cobarde
Y pierde su orgullo por un gran amor coro:
Y llora por ella...

Te conoci en la iglesia
Y te mire en silencio
Por no turbar tu rezo
Que para mi es sagrado,
Por tu carita buena
Y tu mirada clara
Por tantas otras cosas
Hubiera yo jurado,
Pero que triste realidad me has ofrecido,
Que decepcion tan grande haberte conocido,
Quien sabe dios porque te puso en mi camino.
Me equivoque contigo
Como si no supiera
Que mis mas grandes penas
Las debo a los amores,
Me equivoque contigo
Despues de tantos años
Y tantas decepciones.
Pero te vi en la iglesia,
Y tu mirada clara
Me hizo formar de nuevo
Un mundo de ilusiones
Pero que triste realidad me has ofrecido
Que decepcion tan grande haberte conocido
Quien sabe dios porque te puso en mi camino.
Me equivoque a lo macho

Un mundo de ilusiones
Pero que triste realidad me has ofrecido
Que decepcion tan grande haberte conocido

De mi mano izquierda
Voy a dejarte el mundo
Para ti solita
Como al caballo blanco
Le solte la rienda
A ti tambien te suelto
Y te me vas ahorita
Y cuando al fin comprendas
Que el amor bonito
Lo tenias conmigo
Vas a extrañar mis besos
En los propios brazos
Del que este contigo
Vas a sentir que lloras
Sin poder siquiera
Derramar tu llanto
Y has de querer mirarte
En mis ojos claros
Que quisiste tanto
Que quisiste tanto
Que quisite tanto
Cuando se quiere a fuerza
Rebasar la meta
Y se abandona todo
Lo que se ha tenido
Como tu traes el alma
Con la rienda suelta
Ya crees que el mundo es tuyo
Y hasta me das tu olvido
Y cuando al fin comprendas...
Y cuando al fin comprendas...
De mi mano izquierda

y te vas y te vas, y no te has ido
y me tienes aquí esperando tu amor
esperando tu olvido
No
Volvere
Cuando
lejos te encuentres de mi
Cuando quieras que este yo contigo
No hayaras un recuerdo de mi
Ni tendras mas amores conmigo
Yo te juro que no volvere
Aunque me haga pedazos la vida
Si una vez con locura
Ya de mi alma estaras despedida
No volvere, te lo juro por Dios que me mira
Te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volvere
No parare hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
Un arroyo de olvido anegado
Donde yo tu recuerdo ahogare
Fuimos nubes que el viento aparto
Fuimos piedras que siempre chocamos
Gota de agua que el sol reseco
Borracheras que no terminamos
En el tren se la ausencia me voy
Mi boleto no tiene regreso
Lo que tengas de mi te lo doy
Pero no te devuelvo tus besos
No volvere, te lo juro por Dios que me mira
Te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volvere
No parare hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
Un arroyo de olvido anegado
Donde yo tu recuerdo ahogare...
Cuando quieras que este yo contigo
No hayaras un recuerdo de mi
Ni tendras mas amores conmigo
Yo te juro que no volvere
Aunque me haga pedazos la vida
Si una vez con locura

El
Ultimo Trago
Tómate
esta botella conmigo
Y en el último trago nos vamos
Quiero ver a que sabe tu olvido
Sin poner en mis ojos tus manos
Esta noche no voy a rogarte
Ésta noche te vas de a deveras
Que difícil tener que dejarte
Sin que sienta que ya no me quiera
Nada me han enseñado los años
Siempre caigo en los mismos errores
Otra vez a brindar con extraños
Y a llorar por los mismos dolores
Tomate esta botella conmigo
Y en el ultimo trago, me besas
Esperamos que no haya testigos
Por si acaso te diera verguenza
Sin algun día sin querer tropezamos
No te agaches ni mi hables de frente
Simplemente la mano nos damos
Y despues que murmure la gente
Nada me han enseñado los años
Siempre caigo en los mismos errores
Otra vez abrindar con extraños
Y a llorar por los mismos dolores
Tómate esta botella conmigo
Y en el ultimo trago nos vamos
Y en el último trago nos vamos
Quiero ver a que sabe tu olvido
Sin poner en mis ojos tus manos
Esta noche no voy a rogarte

Note: Tomorrow night we start at the top of episode 40. Here's hoping we're on a normal broadcast track from here on, as tonight had almost the normal number of commercial interruptions.
Having said that, some of the deleted scenes in tonight's episode did contain interesting information.

Before I thank UA, I have to add a few 'notes' to Carolina's comments at the end of Friday's postings:
Ladies--After tonight, even Mil Amores couldn't straighten anything out between JA & Maria!
Can we call JA Glummericious?
UA--Now I'll read the recap. It just 'has' to be good!
Anita La Dama del Queso

Oh, and one more thing, Carolina--I've been watching them twice too, but my second viewing is way behind yours. I don't remember the taxi thing between Aventurero and Lety--I must have closed my eyes momentarily......
I didn't watch this episode, only the recap but didn't Maria realize tonight that Elvira was playing tricks & games? Amalia DEFINITELY knows Elvira was playing tricks & games so I'm not understanding why these two are still so furious at Jorge Alfredo.
Michael needs an appeal and a better lawyer.
We all knew Lorena was loca from the lengths she went to humiliate Maria. Ain't nobody sane got time for that.
Women who are holding on to men that don't want them:
Lourdes (Concho)
Elvira (Jorge Alfredo)
Lorena (Ruben)
Mirna (Concho)

Anon207, I was wondering whether Maria is either tired of Elvira's games and willing to give up so as not to have to care about it or angry that Jorge Alfredo keeps falling into her traps. Or both.
Her inexperience with this sort of situation compounds her issues with it and accounts for her failure to dismiss the sight of Elvira smirking at her from Jorge Alfredo's lap.
The only thing that could begin to fix that situation would be for Fernando -- who is often the only voice of reason -- to tell Lourdes about Elvira's tricks. I don't remember how much of that incident he witnessed but he knew from the moment they got up to the apartment that this was a trap of some kind. He has two choices here:
-- Threaten the skank by telling her he will rat her out to her parents if she continues (which we know wouldn't work)
-- Just take the risk of telling Don Concho and Lourdes together. They will fight about it but Lourdes might believe it because she knows Elvira better than Concho does.
Don Concho is a lazy boss. He allows Mirna to take care of most of the money stuff (which she is probably good at) but allows Oscar to distribute money from outside music gigs without seeing how he does it. Given the current circumstances he should not have this authority.
Michael does need a better lawyer. This one has no ethics, expecting Michael to sell out a friend just to get out. The evidence was almost purely circumstantial; there is no evidence proving that either of them had anything to do with that money.
Lourdes holds onto Concho because he has the money. Her name may be on all their assets for tax purposes.
Mirna holds onto Concho for both money and access to hot guys (Jairo). I don't think she loves him any more than he does her; in fact I think he actually wants her more than she wants his money. He just doesn't want any more grief on the home front. Lourdes could take him to the cleaners if there was a divorce.
Lorena could have done that to Ruben if she weren't so hot-headed. He is too smart to not make the pre-emptive strike, particularly since she made a spectacular fool of herself at least twice:
-- before a club full of people in the opening episode
-- the party with the incident intended to humiliate Ruben and shame Maria
In both situations none of the musicians stooped to her level. The video of Ruben and Maria in his company cafeteria would not be adequate evidence in a divorce action to favor Lorena in view of the two above situations.
If the young thug fingers Lorena after being caught Ruben will completely believe him and so will anyone else who knew about the two escandalos.

-----------
I don't think Concho cares if Jorge Alfredo gets paid....in fact he left it up to Oscar (IMO) because he knows JA WON'T get paid. If JA gets enough money he will leave for the US and Concho doesn't want that.

I wish we had a better sense of the passage of time. I try to keep track of days passing, but I don't think that it fills in all the blanks.
Concho gave Jorge Alfredo 4500 pesos, almost one month's advance pay, which Oscar doesn't know about. Three weeks from that date he needs to worry about keeping him on so he can't abdicate this responsibility to Oscar on a permanent basis.
I am surprised that the Mexican police and Interpol haven't caught up with Santos yet.
Since we know from the avances that Ruben will arrive at the scene of the attack, we can probably assume he will have a flashback to the threats Lorena made before he left the house.
Warning: Wikipedia now has major spoilers on this series, so do not go there.

UA I never read Wiki during a novela but also beware of Telenovela World Cast lists because the descriptions if the characters also contains major spoilers.
I am sick of Maria. She is either criminally naive or stupid. Amelia is a terrible mother, she could put a stop to the misunderstanding but doesn't for her own selfish reasons. Now poor Paloma has a problem with Rod. That house of theirs should now be called Weepy Manor since all of them except Isa seem to do little but weep and moan. Pity Isa who is definitely get a skewed picture of relationships between men and women.
One thing that was sort of fun last night was watching the singing fight. Frankly if I were JAntos I throw in the towel. Let Maia grow up and focus on clearing his name.
Michael should get a new lawyer. On the upside he is a loyal and true friend and thus since it is novelaland he will be rewarded in the end.

Thanks for the marvelous recap, UA. It was up so early, I couldn't resist and I read it before the show aired out here on the left coast.
DCG, I thought the 'singing fight' was lots of fun, and I love that name for it! Not very professional of them, though.
So what was with JA and the serape? Was he thinking he needed to be better prepared in case he had to sleep on the sidewalk again or what?
I think we should 'salud' whenever they slam a door and the wall shakes. I love it when that happens. It's very old school TN, and so far it's happened twice. Love, love, love it! Definitely a highlight of this episode for me.
However, my favorite part of this episode was OJ being kicked by the bad guys as a parting gift after he and Bruno got dumped on the street. I really enjoyed seeing them both scared sh!tless, too, and I hope we'll see more of that to come.
I can't believe all the scenes that they cut out, including some important stuff, like that Maria's dad owned part of the bar. But if they are going to cut scenes, why-oh-why did they leave in dear old Dona Pru's senile ramblings, that went on for like TEN minutes? I can't see why that was there in the first place, let alone why they would leave it in.
ITA that Michael will be fine in the end of this thing. What about Wendy? I am thinking that she will end up alive and forgiven because her brother is such a super dude, but would love to hear what others think.
Anita, I think I wouldn't have noticed that quick and random shared taxi scene at all if not for what happened later and the comments here that people didn't see it coming.
JA is most certainly Glummericious, lol!

UA--This was quite an episode to recap. You did a terrific job, not only giving us all the facts and details, but then going on to giving us some well-thought out analyses. So glad you are on this team.
Anon207--Do we see the beginning of someof your famous lists????
We all know that eventually JA will be cleared and regain Maria's love, but what I really want to know is *who* and *how* will Elvira get her come down. UA gave us two options, which even she agrees won't work. Ah, speculation, speculation, ain't it wonderful. It's a great activity for old brains to get a work-out.
We've mentioned before that her parents need to find out and send her to a Swiss boarding school (although I think she's too old for school).
I can't see any other way out except that she gets pregnant by Coloso (well, she'll probably try to blame it on JA, but we might get a boda out of it).
Like Isadora, I think Elvira is going to be with us until ultimas semanas--and that's a long way away.

How old is Elvira? The other night her mother said something about sending her to an "internado" but she seems a bit too old for that, and also who in their right mind would take her?

I'm sure that Oscar is being careful about that stuff. He has to know the consequences of being caught with the owner's daughter.
Who would never want to get pregnant in a millennium.
Per an earlier comment, the only deleted scene that meant anything was where we find out that Amalia and/or Maria owns 20% of JNTR. It will be a long time before anybody finds that out and that scene should have been left in instead of Prudencia.
I think that Concho is unwilling to risk a divorce because of the fact that he has concealed Pedro's investment in the bar. He could go to prison for business fraud over that and Amalia might be willing to help that happen because he:
-- made her believe for years that her husband was unfaithful to her
-- allowed her to have major money problems that the bar's profits could have taken care of
-- attempted to pimp Maria out to Ruben.

I sometimes take a peek at Wikipedia. I did for this TN but it didn't give me a spoiler I was thinking about. Anyway, if I just had to venture a guess at who the actor is that plays "El Padrino" my mother and I THINK it's the guy who played Lucero's father in Por Ella Soy Eva. Guess viewerville will have to wait a little while longer to find out who he is.
So is it going to be Ruben who gets the bragging rights for saving Maria from the guy who was hired by his wife to kill Maria with a knife?

TF, yes; that's the actor. I would have recognized his voice if I hadn't seen his name listed because I remember him from a brief role he had 20 years ago in the 1993 Corazon Salvaje.
Ruben is just getting lucky to be there at that time. However, since the lights in front of the club are so bright anyone could turn up.
Maria will be no more interested in him than she was before, but that will not deter him. [rolls eyes]

UA, I thought so. We recognized his voice. I didn't really watch every episode of Eva, but I got the gist of the plot and the characters. I've only seen that actor in that one novela. I do like the mystery of the character of El Padrino. It's kind of like what they did in MEPS with the evil brother. They didn't show his face right away.
I find Rodrigo's behavior kinda strange. Wonder what will happen between those two love birds as the TN progresses.

It's interesting that Danna Garcia's real middle name is Maria, Pablo Montero's real first name is Oscar, and Jorge Salinas is playing a character with an alias that is his real first name.
I wonder if there are any more.
I wonder if there are any more.
The Don Pedro that Dona Prudie is reminiscing about is Pedro Infante. She's mentioned before that her aunt worked in the movies (catering the food, bringing coffee, etc) and that as a young girl she used to hang around the sets and that's how she met Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete and others. She said Jorge looked as handsome in his charro outfit as Don Pedro (Infante, not Maria's father) did in his.
Irasema ... wow ... orange eyeshadow? ... just ... wowww ...
Coloso said JA didn't deserve his part of the serenata at Elvira's because they only got paid half due to his (JA's) refusal to sing. Maria tried to cover for Jorge with Concho by saying he had a sore throat, but Mirna and Concho both snapped back that it wasn't a legitimate excuse, then Concho said for them to figure it out amongst themselves (he doesn't care as long as he gets his percentage).
Love how the snobby rich idiots (Elvira; Lorena) think that slipping on a trench coat, throwing a scarf on their heads and putting on some oversize sunglasses will make them inconspicuous ... yeah, because everyone wears that in the middle of the night on a hot summer night!

I really hate the idea of Paloma and Rodrigo being matched up permanently this soon in their lives. She's not even 15 yet!
When the time comes he will probably not like having Oscar for a father.
We have not yet seen Ruben's children so I am wondering how old they are.
Aleta, the character names aren't an accident in this series.
Jorge Alfredo Vargas is about:
-- Jorge Negrete
-- Jose Alfredo Jimenez
-- Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan
Maria is for the song "Maria Bonita"
Oscar Fernandez is for
-- Pablo Montero's birth name, "Oscar"
-- Alejandro Fernandez
Paloma could be about "Paloma Negra"
Susanito is definitely "A Boy Named Sue." In all the years I'm watching novelas this is the first time I'm hearing it.

Thanks, UA, for the detailed and analytical recap. I missed the early part of this episode, so appreciate the rundown of each section.
I could probably do without all the weeping, whining, and wailing women. Just give me a front seat at Jalisco NTR and let the singing begin! I really, really liked the musical slamfest between JAantos and Maria. Much better than an ordinary quarrel.

I only caught a couple of scenes of this episode, but they were the singing "figt" at the bar and Doña Prudencia's reminiscinces.
I think the reason why they included the scene with Doña Prudencia, and why it exists in the first place, is that they're connecting the Jantos character, and by extension Jorge Salinas, to the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema and the Singing Charro.
Evita Muñoz (Doña Prudencia) began her career during that Golden Age, and in real life acted alongside Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante in some pretty famous movies (like "Nosotros los Pobres"). The Mexican audience knows this, it gives her (the character and the actress) authority, and seeing her compliment Jorge and gush over him and her memories of Negrete and Infante is as if she's giving him her blessing, as if she's saying to the audience that he's a worthy successor to Negrete and Infante.
Plus, people love nostalgia and a telenovela like this is built on nostalgia.
In Latin America there's a tradition of singers and musicians trying to get the best of each other with clever verses. The singing "fight" reminded me of this.
There's a scene of one of these "duels" in a movie with Infante and Negrete called "Dos Tipos de Cuidado" which I think Doña Prudencia mentioned in her talk with Jorge. You can see the scene on Youtube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec3m2J1n5_4
I don't know if the writers of QBA were inspired by this scene for Jorge and Maria's "fight", but it's a nice connection to the telenovela.
