Caray, Caray!

This weekend, the poets, writers, and sassy troublemakers of Caray Caray decided to try our hand at writing prose and greeting cards inspired by our telenovela characters. If you missed it, you must go back and read it: http://caraycaray.blogspot.com/2012/09/weekend-witticisms-telenovela-greeting.html

Thanks for your patience.  Please let me know what I missed or misinterpreted.
 
The drunkards, F5 and Fer, are given coffee.  I think Blue Lass mentioned this earlier but our guys really need some professional help with regard to their increasing abuse of alcohol.  They are fortunate they have not had a serious car accident at this point.  Yet, they can’t use being drunk as an excuse for falling in bed with Sabrina; so unfortunate male protagonists, get your acts together before you wake up in someone else’s bed or worse.

Lucia is livid about her kidnaping (surprise, not).  Willy sends the boys back home and keeps Lucia as his captive.  She attempts to escape by going to the bathroom but gets caught in the window.  At this point we have no couples together and watching the evil ones make gains is painful.

In one of this week's discussions, the Abismo gang noticed a repeated sequence of various characters expressing sympathy to someone because his mother was such a very, very...grave disappointment. It occurred to us that we could make a killing in Telenovelaland by developing a line of appropriate greeting cards for just these sorts of situations...por ejemplo:

Tu mamá es ramera, yo sé
Qué pena contigo mi güey
Pues ni modo, compadre
Lo que hizo tu madre
No fue por tu culpa --
¿o qué?

(Thanks, NovelaMaven!) 

What kinds of greeting cards do you think might come in handy for our imaginary friends? Feel free to dig in in either Spanish or English (or Spanglish) with themes, rhymes or designs.

Here are a few more ideas to get you started:

Congratulations!
...on your fake pregnancy
...on your successful embezzlement scheme
...on losing your virginity/fetching up pregnant (combined card)

So sorry
...your rapist got out of jail

Best wishes for a speedy recovery
...from your fall down the stairs
...from your golpeazo
...from your pivotal automobile accident

So have at it -- we know how clever you are!

I always get the numbers in Spanish mixed up so please comment on the amount of the shares.

We start tonight with Marcela and Fernando in their office, and Marcela is going over some bills. She wants Ferni to pay the lights, the mortgage and a couple other bills and hands him Kevin's cell phone bill. Lots of calls and numbers. He takes the majority of the bills, not happy about it either and hands the cell phone bill back to Marcela and tells her to handle it, handle it. Marcela looks at the phone bill and doesn't recognize some of the numbers. She calls the number and gets the guy that Kevin was with yesterday, the guy answers, and Marcela hangs up. She looks very concerned.

Pluti and Rebeca walk down the hall, and Rebeca wants to know why he's there already, wasn't he taking time off? He says he is there for the reading of La Gorda's will, (Note to Pluti- Hope the anvil hits you where it hurts the most, jus' sayin'). Anyhoo, they pass by the desk of the Evelettes who are gossiping with other women at G.I., like Tablet Jeffe said, noone works!

Eva is in Helena's office and making some racket with the files, banging them on the table. She isn't singing and yelling at Helena today. She is giving Helena the silent treatment as far as her voice goes, but is banging things around. Eva bangs some files on Helena's desk and the Eiffel Tower too, lol. Helena can't stand the silent treatment and says sorry about throwing you out, but I think Helena says she has to be out by tomorrow, first thing. "Don Pluti" comes in to see Helena. Eva kinda listens over Pluti's shoulder and Cindy one of the Evalettes comes in and says that Eva will have to be at the reading of the will of Antonia. Well, Pluti is having a problem with that. Eva goes and then Pluti too.

• Gala calls RosaE, insults her for letting her son go to the OBGyn with Luci. Whose side are you on???!! (behind Rosa Julie makes sign language gestures to stop Gagme from really signing up Rosa as the enemy = damage control on Gagme's tantrum)
• Luci tells CL what happened with the meeting with Rod. She is trying to keep her distance but Rod is her child’s father. This is why she does not want to go to the office much. CL promises they will find a solution.
• Rod gets home to loud barking from Gala, playing offended. She cancelled her apt. with her doctor. Accuses him of not caring for her child, she will not go to Dr unless he goes with her. And warns her if anything happens to my baby, it will be YOUR Fault. (Rod looks as if asking himself what kind of jerk he was for marrying this B___)
• At Het Het Magda confesses to Paz her story. Just as you and Galdino kept the secret about Luci, I kept the secret of my daughter Vio’s origin. (we see Vio waltzing around with Aquiles)… it is first time I will trust anyone with my secret. And you are like my sister… the father of my Vio.. is Aquiles Trueba Tajonar. (Paz impactada/scared).

Pobre del Padre Baldy…he ran his truck right into a tree and Leoncio's not all that broken up about it "Que Dios me perdone" aside (May God forgive me).

Alonso bitches his mom out for contracting a hit on Padre Baldy.  She bitches him out for not having the balls to do it himself.  Isadora backs Dionisio's play, saying they needed the fake death certificate.  Alonso says things are getting way out of hand…and when he thinks they're getting out of hand, that's pretty damn out of hand.  Isadora tells him to shut up already and get 3 million pesos out of his wife to pay for the hit.  "Do something right for once!  If she won't do it, then get her signature or whatever, but we have to pay him off or he'll turn us in."

Andres and Camila see Padre Baldy's truck and pull over to see what they can do.  Camila is shocked and has a flashback to her own accident.  Adres can't get Padre Baldy's door open.

Lenocio reports to Isadora and Alonso that Padre Baldy resembles nothing so much as a doornail.  Leoncio violated the cardinal rule of murder for hire…ALWAYS double tap.  Or at least check for a pulse, moron!

Camila is lost in her flashback.  Andres tells her that Padre Baldy's still alive, but they need help.  They don't have a cell with them.  Andres gets in the cab with the truck and tells her to go get back, but she's stuck on not being able to drive and not being able to walk back fast enough.  Andres talks her into driving back.  When pleading doesn't work, he resorts to yelling at her to just go already.  "Slowly!  You can do it!"  Camila puts on her big girl panties and gets in the SUV.  Andres kicks the door open from the inside as she's driving off.  It would have been good if he'd done that before she drove off…maybe driven the Padre into town on his own?  But at the speed she's driving he could probably catch up.

Leoncio claims it was an accident.  He's not a killer or anything.  Alonso says  in that case, there's no need to pay him.  "Well, I did help him die.  And I risked myself for our mommy, so…"  Isadora says she'll pay up.  Leoncio feels the need to say he had his own reasons for getting rid of the metiche (busybody) Padre.  He gets a little too handsy with Isadora and Alonso tells him to cut that out.  Leoncio, still under the assumption that he's now one of the cool kids, goes on to say the truck got a little scuffed, but they can always blame it on Andres, right?  "Why would he want the priest dead?" asks Alonso.  "I don't know.  I mean, I don't know your reasons either, but you have them.  I just don't like the guy.  We'll just make something up and get rid of him.  It's not like you care."  Isadora tells him to get lost already and keep his mouth shut.  Isadora grabs Alonso's hand to stop him from biting his nails.

Andres has gotten Padre Baldy out of the truck and reaches back in for the envelope with the letter, stuffing it in the back of his pants and examining the truck.  He notes the paint marks are the same colors as Alonso's truck.  Padre Baldy starts moaning.  Andres tells him to hang in there and asks if it was Alonso.

Padre Baldy loses consciousness as Andres keeps begging him to hang in there.

Luzma stuffs some papers in an envelope and rushes out of the cabin.

She sees Camila drive up in the SUV.  Camila tells her to call for an ambulance and tells her where they can find the padre while she goes to get her case.

Luzma, sobbing, runs into the kitchen, grabs the phone, and calls the Red Cross.  Leoncio is in shock.  Luzma was supposed to tell Agustina, but she's not there.  Lenocio suggests she tell Isadora.

Dionisio is busy macking on Agustina.  He ignores his cell phone, but she encourages him to answer it.  It's Isadora, calling him to tell him they need to talk, so he'd better hurry up his romancing.  She says they need to stop the death certificate from showing up.  Dinoisio makes his excuses to Agustina and calls for the check.

Camila made it back with her bag.  She and Andres start working on the Padre.  She jabs him with an ENORMOUS needle as she tells Andres she told Luzma to call an ambulance.  Andres reminds her that if Padre Baldy lives it's because she got over her fear of driving.  Camila tries to brush it off, but then says Andres made her do it, so maybe God and the two of them will have to share the credit.

Piedad comes looking for Isadora to tell her about Padre Baldy.  "Ummm..dying or dead?"  Cara de impactada de Isadora when she hears it's "dying."

Amanda and Natalia are serving dinner to their guests.  They've noticed Padre Baldy hasn't shown up.  Natalia takes a call from Luz Maria with the news about the Padre.

Padre makes it to the hospital, where Camila and Andres aren't allowed in.

Isadora passes the news on the Padre on to Agustina and Dionisio.  Agustina wants to go see how he's doing, so Dionisio offers to take them.  The moms encourage Alonso to stay home since his heart isn't doing well.  While Agustina goes to get her bag, Dionisio demands an explanation.  More nail biting from Alonso.

Leoncio gets his drink on while recalling the afternoon's joyride.  Looks like the drinking ain't working anymore.  Piedad comes out to ask him to come to dinner.  She sends Luzma into the kitchen.  She thinks that Leoncio is worried about the Padre dying, but I don't think she realizes he's more worried about him living.

Padre Baldy is getting his head stitched up by some less-than-competent actors who haven't watched enough Grey's Anatomy to make it look like an actual surgery.

Andres brings Camila some coffee in the waiting room.  She's grateful to him for what he did for the Padre.  Amanda and Natalia come running in looking for an update on the Padre, but right now, none of them know much of anything.

Alonso comes looking for Leoncio, but Piedad claims she can't find him.  Alonso goes running out the back door.  Piedad is afraid Alonso will find him drunk and fire them both.

Amanda needs a minute alone, so she goes to get some tea.  Agustina, Dionisio, and Isadora come in.  Dionisio supposes something ran in front of him and he lost control of the truck.  Camila wonders why Padre Baldy was at the ranch in the first place.  Isadora claims she talked to the Padre, but he didn't say why he was there besides looking for Camila.  Andres looks suspicious.

Alonso finds drunk Leoncio in his room.  Leoncio blames Isadora for asking him to do it in the first place, Alonso blames Leoncio for not doing it properly.  Leoncio says he won't go down for this on his own.  "You can't fire me because you still owe me money.  If you want me to keep my mouth shut, don't threaten me."

Andres goes to make a phone call, but Natalia finds him in the hallway to tell him that Isadora lied.  Padre Baldy was there to see Andres.  When Natalia told him that only Alonso and his mother were home, Padre Baldy got upset and went into the house to talk to them.  "Why would she lie?"  Natalia doesn't know, but she smells a rat.  She begs him not to say anything to anyone.  Andres calls Rafael and tells him he thinks Alonso and/or his mother tried to kill Padre Baldy.  Rafael is worried that they don't know what the Padre said to upset them.  Andres arranges to meet Rafael at this house tomorrow.

Dionisio takes his leave because he has a "business meeting" early the next morning.  The doctor comes in and says Padre Baldy is in critical condition.  They're trying to control some internal bleeding.  He's in Intensive Care and sedated, so he advises them to go home.  Agustina wants to leave the number of the ranch so they can call if there's any change.

Luzma heads for the woods to snog Pablo.  She tells him about Padre Baldy.  Between that and Leoncio's drunkenness, she thought it would be safe for them to meet.  Pablo's all set to tie the knot.

Alonso meets everyone coming in.  Agustina is on her way to bed.  Isadora tries to talk Agustina and Camila out of going to the hospital in the morning, but Agustina blows her off and tells Andres to have the car ready early.  Alonso slips up and says it must have been awful to see Padre Baldy's car there crashed into a tree.  Isadora catches the slip and her eyes widen, but Camila just agrees it was awful.  Agustina asks Camila for a moment alone and dismisses Andres.  This leaves Alonso and Isadora in the foyer alone.  Isadora barely waits for them to be alone before she starts yelling at him for being an idiot.  She noticed the look on Andres' face, so she knows he realized that Alonso must have had something to do with the accident.  She supposes they can't fire him now and they'll have to bribe him to keep his mouth shut.

Andres goes out to Alonso's SUV and examines the damage.  He notes the scratches on the passenger side, then sees something on the floor outside the driver's door.

Alonso and Isadora continue the argument.  He plans to just claim that Isadora told him the details.  Isadora actually says her hands are clean and it's all going to point to Alonso.  "I'm so disappointed in you.  As hard as I tried to educate you, you wouldn't learn.  You always have to be one step ahead!  But you're such a weakling…and now we're paying the price!"  Isadora continues berating her stupid imbecile of a son, who goes back to biting his nails.

Agustina tells Camila that they need to take an image of the Sacred Heart to the Padre since it helped Camila get better when she first arrived.  Camila tells Agustina about Andres getting her to drive the SUV.  Agustina thinks Andres is an angel.  Camila says she actually does feel a little better.

Andres goes to his room and opens the envelope.  He finds the surveillance photo, again, then the other envelope.  Open it, open it!  He opens it!  "Daniel, you don't know me.  Maybe you've never heard of me.  I don't really know.  I hope this revelation doesn't affect the image you have of your mother, may she rest in peace, but I can't keep it quiet.  I knew Agatha over 30 years ago. I loved her more than my life, and now isn't the moment to try to justify anything, but our encounter happened at the wrong time.  We were both married, but in spite of that, our love was clean and sincere.  I regret I didn't have the courage to confront the whole world to love her freely, the way she deserved.  With her recent death, I learned of your existence and the possibility that you could be my son won't leave me in peace.  I tried to find out, so I had you investigated.  I'd like to do a DNA test to confirm it, but that will only happen if you agree and when we're face to face, if life allows that to happen.  But since I can't wait for that to happen, in order to protect my beloved niece, Camila, I've made the decision to change my will and leave you as my sole heir, in case I die before you and I are together."

In split scene, Andres contemplates the letter and Camila contemplates Andres.

"Now I need your help, and I want to ask you for a huge favor, now that I have anyone else to rely on.  I know this might take you by surprise and change your life, but I just find out my niece is in danger because she's fallen into the hands of leeches--her husband Alonso and one Dionisio Ferrer.  They've gotten close to her with bad intentions, to divest her of La Malquerida and all the goods they think she will inherit the day I die.  Camila is my adoration, the daughter I never had.  She's a woman of values and good feelings.  I feel responsible for throwing her into Alonso's arms and since at this moment I can't think of another way to protect her, I've decided to leave you all my goods, supposing you are my son.  If you're not, in exchange for you help, you'll be able to live comfortably with what I'm leaving you for the simple fact of being Agatha's son and for the love I had for her.  I know you're a good man and you'll help me get justice in case I can't do it.  When you're both safe, share my inheritance with her.  At this moment the two of you are my two greatest treasures.  I hope you can understand my desperation and receive in advance my appreciation and my eternal gratitude.  Daniel Monterde."

Next morning, Rodolfo tells Camila that they've all heard about the Padre and are going to pray extra hard for him.  He figures she's probably not in the mood, but today is the "tienda de macho" (store of the macho?  A bull auction perhaps?) and he's got everything all ready.  Camila tells him to handle it and he assures her he can.  He asks her to send his best to the Padre.

Camila thanks Andres again for what he did yesterday.  Agustina is ready to go and is crowing that soon she'll have Andres all to herself since he's gotten Camila to drive again.

Isadora and Dionisio bitch about how wrong it's all gone. Isadora says she's got 24 hours while Padre is in Intensive Care to take further action.  Dionisio is pissed that Isadora trusted Leoncio to take care of something so delicate.  He realizes this isn't the first time she's contracted a hit on someone…or is it?

Tomorrow:  Isadora plans to take matters into her own hands; Daniel admits they've all been Alonso's victims; Vivi asks the immortal question, "So what do we do now?"  I guess we'll have to tune in tomorrow to find out.

Vivales = vividores, leeches, sponges,
Despojar = divest, disposess

Recap by Anita (Who says she has taken great liberties with the dialog, times, and places in order to get to the heart of the matters at hand).



Gala and Rodrigo's Gloomy-hued Apartment

Roselena has arrived and announces to Gala that she wishes to talk to Rodrigo – a solas. Gala says she completely understands, after all their relationship has been ice cold so they probably have much to talk about. She excuses herself [but we are certain she’s as good at picking up conversations behind closed doors as Frigida]. Ok, so, que pasa, mamá? Rosa doesn’t mince any words, your father has a lover. Again with the same jealousies mamá? I’m not imagining things. Have you forgotten so soon all the harm you did thinking the same about Aurora Linares? I myself saw a message from someone calling him Osito and containing other words of love. I want you and me to confront your father.



Rodrigo asks if she’s sure she wants him to talk to his dad. She says yes and not to listen if he tries to deny it. She doesn’t deserve this humiliation. He agrees to talk to Max, but asks her to please not tell his sibs. No, no, she can’t promise that. She doesn’t deserve what he’s doing to her. He points out correctly that she kept a secret for 19 years, why not this one?



Roselena rises from her seat and puts on her imperious face, looking down at him as she would a subject—You are never going to forgive me, are you? [Her sincerity is cloudy; her desire to have him back under her control is transparent.] It’s time for you to go mamá, I’ll see you out. When her straightforward tactic didn’t work, she tries appealing through brotherly love—Patricio needs you; I need you. Unmoved, he tells her it’s getting late and grabs the keys to escort her downstairs.



Gala emerges from hiding, musing to herself, so my suegro also has a tail to be stepped on [cola que le pisen [commonly refers to having something to hide—maybe even worth blackmail]. He’s unfaithful and a liar, what a lovely family.



At the NFERNO

Don Aquiles is finally back where he wants to be. Vio is serving him and asks what he would like. He says he came back for *her,* mamacita. He’s tired of his former life and the same ‘ole same ‘ole and today she’s coming with him. Well, they are both coming on to each other. He’s the Impatient Lover; she the Shrinking Violet. She gets a peck on the cheek. Marcial watches their interaction through the screen of smoke.

Due to a scheduling conflict, I am taking Anita's recapping night this week and she is taking mine.

Rod and Gagme Torreslanda's Apartment of No Love Lost:

Mati is trying to get Rod to forgive his loca Mama for all the trouble she caused. Rod says it'll never happen, not going home either. Mati thinks he ought to forgive her.

Het Het:

In the hamelt of Het Het, Magda is on the phone with Estelita looking for her daughter Vio, who she finds out is not there. Magda is very concerned, but Estelita tells her not to worry, Vio spent the night with Luci in the hotel she is staying at, while in the D.F. Magda wants Estelita to be sure to tell Vio she called and hands the phone to Paz. Paz wants to know how her darling boy is doing. Estelita says no worries, your son is fine and selling loads of tacos. Paz tells Estelita that the peeps down there can call her anytime cause Claudio installed a phone right in the house.

Torreslanda Bidness, Max' s Office:

We have one pithed off Max calling Vicky who is at work. He tells Vicky his wife saw the text message and now he's in all kinds of trouble. Vicky says well, I guess it's time for us to break up then, now that Rosa knows. He wants a meet, but she says she can't do it now, she's at work and besides she is so NOT putting up with his whims anymore, she just can't come running anytime he feels he wants to see her, and she hangs up on him. Yay! Max is pithed and yells and looks like he wants to fling the cell phone, and Rod the Bod comes in at this time and asks if he's ok? Max tells Rod everything is spiffy, just a little glitch with a bidness deal. Rod wants to know, from his Papa, why Rosa didn't end up in the carcel for what she had done to Luci and Claudio? Max tells him, thanks to Luci and her compassion, your mother stayed out of jail, cause Luci didn't want to send her there.
