Caray, Caray!

　

Mexico City:

Poor Lucy, after being thrown out of Torreslanda, is walking down the street trying to balance that box of pots and her suitcase and is having a hard time doing it. She stops for the umpteenth time to adjust the box and suitcase and hears Sabina, the bruja, in her head telling her with this destino there is no forgivness. She wipes her eyes, and picks up her stuff, when out of the darkness she hears a voice. He asks her to wait, it is her first guardian angel. It is the chauffer from the Torreslanda's in his own car and he wants to offer her a ride to wherever she is going. She tries to decline, but he is insisting. He doesn't want her walking alone this time of night. He finally convinces her and she gets in car, thanking him profusely. The chauffer takes her to Violetta's. He asks if she is ok. He has brought the box of pots and her suitcase, what a gentleman. He doesn't want to leave her there, but she assures him her friend Violetta from back home, lives here as does Luci's own brother Lorenzo. The chauffer is worried, cause it's late and is it ok. She says it's fine cause they both work late and someone will be up. The chauffer tells her he hated what happened to her, and Luci says she considers him a friend. She thanks him again and he goes. Luci goes upstairs but noone is home, they are still at work. Serena is coming home from work and she is a nurse, for realz, guardian angel number 2. She wants Luci to come with her, but Luci says she'll wait outside for Violetta or Lorenzo to come home. Serena is insisting, when Dona Estella comes outside and she is insisting Luci come with her. Luci goes with Dona Estella and thanks Serena. When they get inside Luci tells Dona Estella what happened. Luci is very sleepy and Marianita has come out, and they are huddled on the sofa sleeping, so Dona Estella covers both of them up with a blanket and says both need their Mamas.



Rod is on the sofa in his room thinking about the almost wedding. Gala is in her apartment thinking the same. She is in her jammies, with her dress heaped around her, the veil is on the sofa, and her engagment ring is on her index finger. She is sobbing into the dress. Hot Bod Rod's cell phone rings and its Gala. She wants to know why he didn't marry her sorry ass, I mean, her. She loves him soooo much, he isn't saying anything. Gala is going on and on about how she lurrrves Hot Bod for realz,doesn't understand how this happened, blah blah. He tells her he is truly sorry, but he and Gala can never be. Then she starts in on Luci. She did this didn't she, it's all because of her??? Rod still isn't answering her. She accuses him of being in love with an ordinary girl (Note to Gala: Luci is worth ten times if not more of you). Gala wants her clothes and things back from the apartment. Rod says go ahead, leaving Mexico tomorrow, won't be around. Gala says she's leaving too. He does admit he loves Luci I think. Anyway, she is tells him this is like a nightmare, her dreams are ruined and why oh why did you do this to me???? She is rolling on the floor with that dress, crying into the veil and sobs her little black heart out. Rod is punching the pillows on the sofa, he is highly pithed off.

Claudio is in his office, with the coffee pot, to keep him awake going thru files on his desk.

Rosa, looking like the hell, is putting hand sanitizer on her hands, when Conny comes in. Conny wants to know what she is still doing up, and Rosa tells her that she threw Luci out this very night. Conny is not happy, she says you threw this poor girl out, who is alone in the middle of the night. What is wrong with you? Rosa uses the excuse she just had to do it, cause Luci bewitched and beguiled Rod and Pato and she just had to go. Conny lets her have it. She says Rod is an adult, doncha know and makes his own decisions and she has no right to make them for him (AMEN to that sister). She is obsessed with controlling the family. Conny asks her if Rod wanted to get rid of her, Rosa says no, but Luci is a bad, bad girl, just cause Gala told her so, and hey she's known for the truth, right, right???? Conny tells her she will never get forgiveness, not even by the church, for what she has just done. (Yay, Conny)

Aldo and Vicky are at Inferno having a great time. Coral (Violetta) is singing again, not bad I must say, and Stalker Guy (we finally know his name) Marcial is right in the front row listening to her. Aldo and Vicky are holding hands, awww! Lastra and Ivan are also there, keeping an eye on Aldo, who they think is a Torreslanda, and they remark the guys are really into Coral. Ivan goes back to the bodega (I think it is really the liquor room of the club, that Lorenzo guards) and Lorenzo is back there asleep. Ivan wakes him up, tells him no sleeping on the job, and wants him to grab a bottle of whiskey and come with him, and to be discreet. Ivan and Lorenzo come into the casino and see Aldo and Vicky. Aldo comes over to say hi to Lorenzo and Violetta is now off the stage and Marcial is waiting for her. He tells her he is very in love with her. Ivan comes over and tells Lorenzo to get back to work. Vicky's phone rings, and its Max. Aldo wants to know who it is, and Vicky lies and says it's her Dad. Aldo says you better take that, it may be important. While Vicky is on the phone, Aldo excuses himself to go to the loo, and wanders around looking, until he finds Lastra's office. Aldo goes in and notes all the cameras and the computer just sitting unattended on the desk. Meanwhile Lastra and Ivan are in the casino and Lastra thinks Aldo is all into Coral (Violetta). They are in front of Polo while saying this and he is listening. Meanwhile Aldo, the little hacker, is trying to hack that computer on Lastra's desk. He is having trouble, but keeps on trying. Meanwhile, Vicky has answered the phone and Max wants to know where she is at. She says El Inferno with friends. He isn't happy. Vicky, the eternal doormat, tells him if he doesn't like it, she'll call and taxi and come running. Max hangs up. Vicky is now looking around for Aldo, and Lastra is watching her and wondering where the heck Aldo is. Lastra comes over and asks her, she said he went to the loo, and should be back shortly. Lastra is on the way to his office, rut roh, and gets a drink spilled on him. The girl is sooo sorry and tries to wipe it away, while Lastra bitches his suit is Italian, doncha know. Anyhoo, Aldo is still trying to get into the computer. After the umpteenth time, Aldo is in like Flynn, on that computer. He sees that Lastra is right outside the door of the office. Lastra is giving Violetta grief about something. Lastra goes into his office and sees on the security camera that Vicky is alone looking around. Aldo has hidden in the room watching Lastra. Lastra makes a phone call, and you won't beleive to who??? Can you guess??? It's the silent partner, also known as Max to us. Max is witching about the sales, and the money coming from Inferno. He wants more. He also wants the sales reports. I got the impression that Lastra doesn't know that is silent partner is Max Torreslanda. Ivan comes into the office at this point, and Lastra chews him a new one for the sales. They both leave and Aldo comes out of hiding. Lastra is bothering Vicky again looking for Aldo, and he sends Ivan to find him. Aldo pops up behind him, says he's back and Lastra goes. Vicky is mad he left her like that, and Aldo calls for the cheque.

Poor deluded Rosa has taken sleeping pills just to sleep, but Max is wide awake and calls Vicky.

Marcial has walked Violetta home. He is really into her so much, he wants her to be his novia. Well Violetta is hesitant at first, but he makes the case of how much he is in love with her, adores her blah blah, and she is concerned she hasn't known him that long. Anyway, she accepts and seems happy.

It's morning now and Rosa has Mati and Frigid the Rigid in the library and orders them not to say anything about Luci or where she is. Frigid is down with that, but not Mati who argues a little, but gives in. Rosa will tell everyone her lying version, of Luci just going away, not what really happened. Rosa stresses she doesn't want Pato or Hanna to know. She tells Mati that she will give Luci's pay to her, to bring to Luci, and Mati is coy and says well I'll have to go to my cousin Estella and she MAY know where Luci is. Rosa is liking that. Frigid is brown nosing Rosa all the way, especially about never mentioning Luci's name in the house evaa.

Conny and Max are at the golf course, having a little breakfast and talking about Rosa. Max wants to know from her, the real reason Rosa threw Luci out like that. Conny has to tell him, Rosa felt the botched wedding was all Luci's fault. Max tells her Rod in fact didn't marry Gala because of Luci, but doesn't agree with Luci being thrown onto the street at night like that. Rosa is too overprotective of the family, ya think?? Oscar comes by, and Max tells Conny he wants to be alone with Oscar to discuss some business. Conny goes. Oscar informs Max that someone has gotten into the company files and that the stuff that is missing, pertains to the time Claudio was with the company. Max is pithed. He wants to stop more files from going missing, but Oscar tells him, too late they are all gone.

Meanwhile, Luci has called Claudio and tells him about the latest Lastra threat and about the meet. Claudio tells her to wait right there, he is coming over. Luci is having breakfast with Estella and Marinita, and I want to know what that purplish stuff is, that Estella was dishing up. It almost looked like black beans, but it was purple, anyone know what that is?

Claudio goes to his office and Norma his assistant is there, checking into those "missing files" and she has discovered that Max Torreslanda owns or is part owner of Inferno. Claudio is like well,well very interesting. Meanwhile Aldo is on the laptop at home, and I think he has figured out the same thing.

Rod and Frigid encounter each other and Rod is rude to her, wants to know where Mati is, he goes upstairs. Rosa is feeding Pato at the moment, and he asks where Luci is. Rosa is saved by the bell, cause Rosa doesn't have to tell her dirty little lie, Rod comes in and tells them he is going to Miami. Rosa is barely civil to Rod. Rod tells Pato to continue with the therapy, Rosa had informed Pato that the architect was coming to do some renovations so Pato would have better access in the house. Rosa is being very cold towards Rod. Rod says bye and goes and Rosa starts in about how Rod could have been so happy with Gala, and he left her at the altar like that. Pato defends his brother and says he made his decision, leave it alone. Rod is now in Hanna's room, waking her up. He wants Hanna to talk to Luci. Hanna says I'll get her cellphone number from Melissa and then call you with it, so you can talk to her yourself. They still don't know that Rosa threw her out in the street in the middle of the night. Hanna has now seen that Rod is in love with Luci, she is very happy. Hot Rod is so down with Hanna getting that number for him, and he tells her bye.

Luciana has gone back to Violetta's and discovers that Fabian, Ariche's Papa, and Ariche have come to pay Luci a little visit. Lorenzo is there too and there is a happy little reunion. They tell Luci that Don A is back in Het Het, so they came for a little visit. Violetta has gotten up and Luci informs them she lost her job at the Torreslandas.

Hanna is on the phone with Rod. Hanna wants to go to Estella's to talk to Luci or wants Rod to, but he says no, just get her cell number.

Het Het:

Magda is walking down the street, when she is accosted by Don A. He tells her Copio told him what Magda was looking for. He is pithed, and tells her to stop trying to sniff out those papers already. Magda informs Don A that everyone in town knows he is swindling Paz and that he went to the D. F. for Luci. He tells Magda to tell Paz to expect a visit from him and to go. Don A has come to Magda's looking for Paz. Don A is being rude and handling the veggies on Magda's side board. He basically threatens Paz and Magda and tells them Copio spilled the beans about what Magda came looking for, Paz is nevaa gettin' back those deeds and that house es Mio. He said something else, I think about someone dying, and Paz and Magda are very upset. Paz is terrified and wants her house back.

Mexico City:

Mati is paying a visit to Estella and tells her about poor little Luci. Mati tells Estella that Luci is in fact,Claudio and Aurora's daughter, the one he thinks is dead. She says Rosa is an infeliz. Yay, Mati. Mati says poor Luci such a beautiful girl, is Claudio's "dead" hija.

On her daily visit to Padre Honesto, in order to releive her guilt and " suffering" she is wanting forgivness again. She tells him what transpired and how violent and mean she as to Luci, quelle surprise I must say, and the girl just provokes her, and of course Luci is to blame for the botched wedding. Padre asks her well, why do you think that? Rosa says cause Gala told me so, that's why. Well, Padre, bless his honest heart, tells her did you ask your son, why he didn't marry? Rosa goes on a rant about how Pato is in love with this girl too, and she is nothing, nothing to the family. Padre is getting madder by the second by what Rosa has done, and he doesn't understand why she did this to another human being, and now she wants forgiveness, to ease her troubled mind. Well Padre, has had enough. He flat out tells Rosa he is not going to forgive her until she asks forgiveness of those she has hurt, Claudio and Luci, and then and only then will he forgive her. Right on Padre.

Luci has come to see Estella and Mati is there. The phone rings and it is Paz and Mati has answered the phone. She doesn't give her name, but tells Paz she is the cousin of Estella and hands the phone off to Luci. Luci says that Ariche and Fabian are there, they made it safely to the D. F. and to have her Mama Paz send those deeds to her, so she can give them to Claudio. Paz says she will, the phone is passed to Magda and then Luci passes it off to Violetta who tells her Mama she now has a novio.

Hot Bod Rod is about to get on the plane for Miami and calls Hanna looking for Luci's cell #. Hanna has gotten it and texts him the number. He thanks her and she says if you talk to her, let me know. Rod calls, but Luci has left the phone at Violetta's and it just rings and rings. Rod is not happy. Rod is calling Luci again. At some point she answers the phone, but I think she hangs up on him.

Pato is crunching some numbers on his big screen in his room, when Aldo comes in partially blocking the screen and talking a mile a minute, while Pato tries to get him to move so he can see the screen. Aldo wants to be a bigger part of the business and not a gopher. He's like to open a club one day, like Inferno. Pato is just looking at him. He tells Pato he really likes Vicky. Pato asks him if he is crazy. He says that is Jeronimo's daughter, and Papa won't like that. Aldo tells Pato he wants to be Vicky's novio. Aldo asks Pato if he ever had a novia? Pato says lots of girls before the accident but noone special, except there was this one girl, he really took a shine to, just before his accident. Of course, he is talking about Luci, but Aldo doesn't know that, but that is impossible now. Aldo tells him to get better and find her. Aldo also committed a faux pas with Pato, about running around the house I think, and then catches himself. I have to say here, I know this was a faux pas, but Aldo doesn't think of Pato as being disabled at all, jus' sayin'. Aldo keeps trying to call Vicky but no answer. Finally he gives up and tells Pato, he may not have the head for school, but he does for business. Pato is looking at him like, alrighty then. He tells Pato he wants to be, wait for it, an impressario! Aldo says Lorenzo and Pato could work with him, lol.



Luci is meeting with Claudio. She has Ariche and Marianita with her, and they are all eating big, huge lollipops. Claudio asks about the deeds, and Luci says that her Mama Paz found them and come to find out, the lands were in Galindo's name and the house in Paz'. Claudio tells Luci as soon as she gets them to bring them to him and he will investigate and get justice for Paz. Now Claudio wants to know about Lastra. She tells him about the phone call she got at the Torreslandas. Speak of the devil, the phone rings and its Lastra. Claudio listens in. Lastra tells Luci he wants that meet in the park and hangs up. Claudio tells Luci not to worry, he will go in her stead. He also tells her, he is going to get rid of this number for her and get a new one, so Lastra doesn't call her again. They leave. Claudio takes Luci to the cell store, changes her number and tells her, not to give her number out to anyone and to make sure Lorenzo understands this, since he is working for the enemy. Not really but you get the gist. Luci and Claudio and the kids get back to Violettas. Luci thanks Claudio for everything he has done for her. He makes her promise not to give her new number out to anyone, also about the deeds, and that he is meeting Lastra. She tells him to be very careful and before she goes upstairs with the kids, they say bye to him and then Luci gives him the blessing. He is surprised but very happy she did this.

Meanwhile, Frigid the Rigid still has that letter from L. She is going to figure out who this L is and then runtelldat to Rosa.

Of course, while poor Aldo wants to be Vicky's novio, Vicky is en flagrante with Max. Vicky's cell phone rings and it is Aldo but for some reason it flashes on Aldo's phone that it is Max's number, I think. Aldo calls again, Max this time and gets him. Says oh, sorry thought I called someone else and how the heck are ya? Aldo says nothing important, after Max impatiently wants to know what he wants. Aldo hangs up and calls Vicky. She is too busy with the en flagrante to answer the phone.

The revenge comittee, Rosa, Julie and Gala are having a little meeting. Rosa has gone to see them in person. Julie and Gala are like this botched wedding will be in all the papers and it will be sooo bad, boo hoo. Rosa has told them she got rid of Luci and Gala is sooo happy he won't be near that domestica. Now he will just go look for her. Rosa says no, Rod left Mexico. Gala wants to hire someone or wants Rosa to hire someone to investigate Luci and her family and to have them watched. Gala lurrvvess her Hot Bod Rod with total mi alma, oh right, and her love is sooo strong. Now Julie has the idea that Mati might know something, but Rosa nixes that idea. They aren't happy with that.

Lorenzo, Fabian, Marcial and Violetta are all together, discussing Lastra. Violetta says he is a horrible man. Marcial tells Violetta he isn't into the casino, just into her. Luci has come back and Mati and Estella are there. She tells them she got a new number for her cell but isn't giving it out. She wants no more calls from Lastra or Rod, or any Torreslanda for that matter. She especially doesn't want Pato or Rod to know where she is. Mati has brought Luci her money for the time she worked at the Torreslandas. Luci refuses to take it, she wants nothing from that woman. Mati and Estella try to talk her into taking it saying she rightfully earned this money. Luci refuses. Mati takes it and puts it away. Mati tells her Pato has no idea about what happened. Luci feels bad for him and Mati says she can tell Pato she saw Luci and that Luci is fine. Luci forbids it. (Like Aldo won't be able to figure this out, jus' sayin'). She never wants to be insulted by Gala or Rosa evaa again.

Hot Bod Rod is finally in Miami. He calls Hanna. Hanna gives him some number for Luci and of course Frigid the Rigid, has her ear right to the door listening in. Hanna is telling Hot Bod Rod that maybe he can talk Luci into coming back. Frigid is still outside that door and says that muchacha will nevaa darken the door of Torreslanda evaa.

Lastra is waiting for Luci who he is calling an infeliz. Then Claudio shows up. Lastra is not pleased. Lastra seems to think that Claudio has a little something, something goin' on with Luci, but Claudio sets him straight and tells him he is Luci's lawyer. He tells Lastra to quit harrassing Luci. Lastra says he will do whateva he wants, when he wants to, and besides there is no proof. Claudio tells him au contraire, you have a history of harrassing this poor girl. He tells Lastra he will be in a boatload of trouble. Besides Lastra now demands a personal meet with Luci. Claudio nixes that idea. Lastra is so not hearing what Claudio is saying. He tells Lastra to leave Luci in paz and he leaves. Lastra is not going to listen to anything Claudio has to say. He WILL have this personal meeting, come hell or high water.

Pato and Hanna are together and Pato wants to know if Hanna got ahold of Luci he wants to talk to her. She tells Pato that's funny cause Rod wants to talk to her too, and she isn't answering, and Pato wants to know if she would talk to Pato. Hanna says Rod is in love with Luci and wouldn't it be great if they got married. She would make a better sister-in-law than Gala anyday. Pato says that would never happen, cause Rosa the snob, would never allow that, oh, no, anything but that. Hanna differs with Pato and tells him Rod has the character to stand up to Rosa (yeah right, he's got sand in his pants, jus' sayin'). Anyhoo, Pato tells Hanna that Luci should be finishing school and getting her education and she shouldn't be working as a maid, she is very smart. Hanna says Luci is so nice and Pato cares for her too.

Violetta has come upstairs and is talking about how in love she is with Marcial. She asks Luci about that, and Luci says he seems like an alright guy. Violetta goes on and on about being in love with Marcial and how happy she is. She asks Luci about herself. Estella comes up and gets Ariche and Marinita so Luci and Violetta are by themselves. She tells Luci you left cause Rod preferred you. Luci tells Violetta she was surprised Rod didn't marry Gala and how this is all her fault. Violetta tells her no, not your fault. Just because he isn't your class means nothing. Luci says it is an impossible love. Violetta tells her don't let Rosa or Gala evaa insult you again. Violetta says that Hot Rod will come looking for Luci or her name isn't Violetta. Luci says if he does that she will go back to Het Het and never, evaa come back.

Rosa has come back to Torreslanda's now and Frigid informs her Max is in the library. Max wants to know where she has been. She says with Padre Honesto, and he wants to know, all day? No, she says she met with Gala and Julie about how this whole fiasco will be in all the papers, doncha know, and that Gala and Julie want to know where Luci is. Max says he has his own problems and that he saw Claudio and Claudio wants venganza, I mean his honor back, and Rosa reminds Max that Claudio is a brilliant lawyer, but Max says he has to get the proof and Claudio doesn't have that, (Don't count on that, jus' sayin'). Rosa isn't liking that. Hanna comes in and wants to know if she is interrupting anything? She wants to know what is going on and where is Luci? Rosa blows her cool (While Frigid Rigid is behind the door listening of course) and informs Hanna that Luci no longer works for the Torreslandas, don't tell Pato, and never mention the name of Luci in this house again. Ole Frigid is gleefully having a happy day behind that door. Hanna is shocked and upset, and Max is giving Rosa the stinkeye.

Mati has come back to Torreslanda and Lastra followed her. He is still trying to get that personal meet with Luci, come hell or high water. He doesn't see her of course, so he calls her cell, which when answered says, "The number you have dialed is no longer in service", Hah take that evil Lastra. He is pithed.

Mati has come in the house and returns Luci's money to Rosa. She tells Rosa, that Luci would not accept it. Rosa mocks Luci by saying, oh how dignified. She takes the money by the edge of the envelope, she is treating it like it has cooties. Mati leaves and Rosa is using the hand sanitizer again to get rid of the cooties.

Frigid the Rigid, is calling Gala of course with the latest chisme, and it is important for Gala to listen. She could get Hot Bod Rod back with it. Gala is all ears. She tells her some anonymous man sent Luci a letter, which Frigid of course kept, and it was only signed with an L. She reminds Gala that Hot Rod Bod is well still Hot for Luci. Gala decides to listen.

Hanna has called Rod in Miami and Rod wants to know if Hanna has talked to Luci. Hanna has to tell Rod that not only hasn't she talked to Luci, noone knows where she is, and she doesn't work there anymore. Rod is like QTH.

Advances:

Hanna goes to see Luci and wants her to come back. Luci tells her no, and to leave her in paz.

Gala shows up in Miami and Hot Bod Rod is looking delcious in a towel, oh, um, and she'll just die without Hot Bod Rod.

Copio is walking down the streets of Het Het, with a broken leg and busted up face when Magda and Paz see him. They are very upset to see his condition.

Max talks to Pato.

I got rid of cable and I am working with an antennae that picks up Mexican television.  Mexican television has NO ccs.  The hearing impaired don't like Abismo.  Anyways, the channel I watch is on episode 105.  I can only watch Abismo online and there are also no ccs.  Sorry, I didn't catch everything and today, this will be a team effort again.  If you know what was said at certain points, please have at it.

THE DEATHS OF PIG AND BELTBUCKLE
JABBERWOCKY
a skewed version
Por Luis Carroll y R la O

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All nerviosos were the El Tal empleados
And the raisins withered on the vine.

“Beware the Negretes, Pedro!
The jaws that bite, the claws that slap!
Beware the One Called Pig, and shun
The frumious Beltbuckle!”

He took his long lost gun in hand:
Long time the shirtless foe he sought
So rested he by the avocado tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in dazed thought he stood,
The Prince of Darkness, with bloodshot eyes,
Came panting through the cemetery
And hiccuped as he came!

Uno, dos! Uno, dos! And through Alcatraz
The long needled syringe went in Pig's neck
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galloping back.

“And, has thou slain the Sneering Ones?
Come to my arms, my clueless hombre!
O delicioso day!  Caray!  Caray!
He snorted in his coffee.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All painted were the glitter girls
And the raisin vines plumped up.

#115 – The Orphans arrive from Mexico and among them is Santiago’s mother (don’t ask).
#117 – Valentin goes to Los Angeles trying to look for Mariana and runs into Elvira.  They set up housekeeping together in a big cardboard box.

#120 – Meses después – BABY ARRIVES – She looks just like Camila and cries like her, too.

Amigos, damas, y caballeros!  The next photo gallery is in progress, so for this weekend I propose a game that occurred to me the other day as I wrote a comment on LQNPA.

A while back there was sufficiently enthusiastic discussion about my hypothetical Televisa version of Dark Shadows that this game is based on that discussion:

• Pick a classic US TV program (We'll do movies another time).  Title translation optional.
• Give your dream cast for the Televisa Remake you would produce.  Actors currently under contract to Telemundo are also invited to the casting call.  Although most or all character names would be changed into Spanish ones, use the original character names for clarity.
• Make note of any minor changes to setting, character relationships, etc.
• Comment on any previously posted project.
• New projects should occur at least every third post, but more frequently is good, too!

Have fun!

¡Hola a todos! Another week, another opportunity for great comments and recaps. Let's go!
