Everything we see in the sky,,,
,,,are many star families,
There are biparental families, where two stars are the parents,
And monoparental families, like our Solar System,
There, the Sun rules,
Wow, it's incredible!
What these two types of families have in common,,,
,,,is that planets always end up going back to their parent star,
You see, gravity makes,,,
Planets get back together, like a family,
Exactly, dear,
Come on, old man, loosen the knot, you're not going to the office,
My tie isn't too tight, and I'm not old either, OK?
Look, Italian style, for special occasions,
Now we'll have time for that kind of stuff,
For you to relax, learn to dance properly,
What are you up to, woman?
Look, in a while, take this,
For when we come back,
-I don't need them, -Just in case,
Fine, just in case,
Come on!
Yeah!
Strike, Strike!
Strike!
How about that?
Boy, it's really late! I have got to go!
-One more match? -No, I can't play another match,
-Why not? -I have got to go,
Call you, guys!
-Alright, -Bye!
Dany, have you seen my blue sweater?
What?
-It's a family dinner party, -So? I always like to look good,
It's not my fault they like those places,
I don't want you to feel uncomfortable,
Manuel! I spend hours dressing up,,,
,,,and all you do is criticize me,
-Daniela, -You don't like me anymore,
That's not what I meant, you look great,
Do you like this sweater? I can't find the blue one,
Good night, Princess,
No! Don't answer it, It must be my mom,
-Honey? -What?
It's our tenth anniversary in a month!
What do you mean ten years? Really?
No,,, Time really flies by,
I love you so much, Sorry,
-Right, -Party, we'll celebrate,
-What are you doing? -Why not? Dear,,,
Rafis, are you ready? Time to go,
Hi, ma'am,
Hi, Violeta, I didn't know you were here, Where's Rafis?
Mom, I've told you to knock before you come in, please,
You're not wearing those dirty sneakers,
Mom, we'll arrive later, don't wait for us, bye,
Alright, see you there,
What?
-Where were you? -I was at an awful meeting,
Hey, aren't you going to say hi?
-I'm talking to you, damn it! -Hi, Mom,
Gosh, you're hypnotized by those things!
Meeting your family does this to you,
They never say hi in the car,
-Calm down! -They don't say hi, that's wrong,
Seat belts, kids,
Uncle, Look, look,
Wow, Susanita, they're really pretty!
-Did you make them? -They're cool!
-And you listen to him, -Come on, Turtle, don't get mad,
-Be quiet, -Don't get mad, Turtle,
Why do you call my mom Turtle?
She used to have a green swimming suit,,,
-Shut up! -It made her look really fat,
-She wasn't that little, -No, she wasn't,
-I can show you a picture, -Don't you dare,
I want to thank everyone for being here,
My family, my compadres,
After all these years, I'm finally retiring,
Well done, Manuel!
So the time has come for us to enjoy our lives,
Over all these years, I've worked hard for my wife,
-My beloved Adelina, -Oh, my darling!
And for my children, Because I think life,,,
-Congratulations, Dad! -Thank you, thank you,
I haven't finished saying what I need to say,
Well, I want to thank you, because all along,,,
,,,you've taught us to be responsible, honest,
-And especially hard-workers, -Of course, yes,
And I want to thank you both,,,
,,,for giving us an education, for giving us values,
And I hope you both enjoy this retirement together,
You deserve it,
-Thank you, darling, -Sure,
That's right, you deserve the best in life,
-Mom, Dad,,, I toast to that, -Cheers,
For what would a lifetime of work be,,,
,,,without the rest that comes after?
-Time to rest, guys, -Yes, to rest,
And reap everything you've sowed,
-Thanks, -Cheers!
-Cheers, -Cheers, everyone,
I have something to say too,
I found a job!
That's unbelievable!
I got a job as a researcher,
-Well,,, -Congratulations, dear,
-Thanks, honey, thanks, -Hooray!
In two days, I'm off to the Astrophysics Institute in Puebla,
A teacher told them about me, they had the vision to hire me,
It's great news, Rafis, why didn't you tell us?
Well, Mom, I wanted it to be a surprise, you know,
Well, yes, and besides,,,
Violeta,
Oh, he isn't,,,
I want you to marry me,
How awkward,
Will you take me?
He's getting married,
-Of course, honey! -Yes?
-Yes, of course, -Hooray!
Empty nest, Manu, the house all to ourselves,
I hope it's true,
Let's raise our glasses to all this lovely news,
Compadre, besides,,,
-We get it, compadre, Cheers, -Fine,
Yes, cheers, cheers,
Congratulations, family,
Telescope, telescope! There we go,
There, I think that's everything,
My kiss,
Darling, as soon as they pay me, I'll keep my promise,
We'll get married?
The wedding of your dreams, just give me two or three paychecks,
Honey, you make me so happy,
Tell him something good, show your support,
He's never worked before, How will he manage?
You asked for it,
Darling, you're forgetting your cards for the presentation,
Oh, thanks,
-For the trip, you're too thin, -Yes,
-I can't believe you're leaving, -Mom, please,
Son, well,,, good luck,
Good luck and work like,,, like you've never worked before,
Of course Dad, like I've never, ever worked before,
Bye, bye,
Bye,
-So much love, -Yes,
I love you,
-I love you too, -Take good care,
-See you soon, -Yes,
Family,,, success!
Go get them, dear!
At last, the house all to ourselves!
No, it's too early,
It's all the same, it's exactly the same,
No, stop it, stop it!
-What do you mean? -Careful with my owls,
-Stop, this is no time to,,, -Don't worry, come on, Sit down,
-Alright, -Sit down, listen to your husband,
It's out, it's out,
That's it, here,
Champagne at this time of day? It won't go down well,
-You know I get crazy, -Yes, yes,
Can you hear that?
-Can you? -What?
Silence,
After 40 years, finally you and I, alone,
-Oh, yes, isn't it nice? -Cheers,
-Drinking this early,,, -Your glass,
-So,,, -What if someone comes?
It doesn't matter, let's get down to it,
No, no,,,
What you've got is white magic,
You've bewitched me,
With your flirty eyes,
With the way you speak,
When you walk by,,,
,,,everyone turns to admire you,
Why are you so mean?
Turn my way, don't make me suffer,
Oh, white magic,
White magic that cast a spell on you,
What you've got is white magic,
You make me cry with your disdain,
Hi Lucia, long time no see,
Daniela hasn't taken you home lately,
My darling, my daughter has flown away from my arms,
You know you're always welcome,
As water flows down a river,,,
,,,and the wind blows in the desert, so do our times,
But I'll visit you some day, there's more dancing to do,
-I like the way she speaks, -Yes, and her clothes,
Your son's mother in law is a poet,
And she dances in tune, too,
That would be if she sung, she sings in tune,
It's all the same, exactly the same,
-Of course, -The same,
Youngsters, remember the Los Angeles Ballroom Dance is coming,,,
,,,with the grand prize,
Tell me, what is this?
Emails,
Emails? Of course they're emails, from the bank!
We're drowning in debt,
You could've told me you're maxed out!
What you give me isn't enough, Manuel, Don't act surprised!
Besides, we've overcome worse situations,
Not as difficult at this, Daniela, We're in deep,
They'll take our apartment,
I gave you money to pay the mortgage!
Oops!
I don't know, but there's no way I'm living in a hotel,
We can't afford a hotel,
Don't overreact, raise your salary, You're your own boss, aren't you?
The company isn't doing well,
Damn it, we're sinking,
You have my contact information,
Thank you, and excuse me,
Good afternoon, my name is Rafael Irigoyen,
I'm here to apply for the researcher position,
Please excuse me,
Give me a minute to get organized,
My mom put my cards in the wrong order,
Mr, Irigoyen, please proceed,
We have five more applicants to interview,
For the Institute,,,
,,,I propose to research brown dwarf stars,
-Which, as the jury knows,,, -Mr, Irigoyen?
Could you try to submit your presentation,,,
,,,without your cards, please?
Of course I can,
For the Institute, I propose to research,,,
-I didn't know you were that agile, -Yes, I am,
The way things are now, nothing could go wrong,
-Who could it be this late? -I don't know,
Are you sure you want to answer the door?
-Carlota, what,,,? -Can we stay here tonight?
-Yes, of course, come in, -Come in,
-Here, darling, -Allow me,
No, help me with the other one, Dad,
Thanks,
Carlota, darling, what happened?
-Kids, go up to Uncle Rafis' room, -Yes,
Are you sure this is everything?
Oh, gosh,
-Tell us, -I don't want the kids to know,
I'm divorcing Gilberto,
What did you do to him?
-Is Mom still crying? -Now we've done it,
-Carlotita, -Go to sleep, Mom has cramps,
Carlota, darling, we meant to ask what's wrong,
Yeah, right!
Well, Gilberto's been drinking with his friends for weeks,
Gilberto isn't the binge drinking type,
May I finish telling you, please?
Yes, you said he goes out and drinks, so,,,?
I don't know, maybe what he was really doing was,,,
Naked women? Uncle Rafis looks at magazines of naked women,
No, they're from when Rafis studied the human body,
-Grandma, what's this? -It's for music, dear,
Uncle Rafis is old,
-Are you going to listen to me? -Yes, go on, tell us,
Well,,,
Really? Your husband isn't like that,
Why does everyone take his side?
Should I keep going, or do you want to defend him?
Well, I went out to dinner with some friends,
-Let's call it a night, -What happened to your van?
That's what I got for lending it to Gilberto, look what he did,
Are you going to tell him you bowl?
I don't know, Rosita, he'll want to come along,
With the kids, it won't be my private space,
-Yes,,, -This is my 'me' time,,,
Oh, you'll pay for that dent!
What are you talking about? I don't drive this car, my husband does!
Come on, I wrote down the license plate, I saw you running away,,,
,,,after you left that sleazy motel!
What do you mean? I don't drive that car!
What sleazy motel?
What? What sleazy motel?
You got tired of me and found another love,,,
I can't believe it, my Gilberto,
Look,
Gosh, that's a big rat!
I can picture the motel,
Buddy, that hotel is a slum,
I heard, I haven't actually been there,
Victoria, I'm so glad I found you,
Yes, we're glad,
-Thank you very much, -Yes,
-Whose is it? -Yours, yours,
And here's another one, look,
Damn you, Gilberto,
That's strange, it doesn't sound like Gilberto,
What are you doing here?
We're remodeling, the paint smells and it's full of dust,
-You know you're welcome, son, -Yes, your rooms are still here,
-Thanks, Mom, -Thanks,
Well, why don't we all go to sleep and figure it out in the morning,
Yes, thanks a billion, Mom and Dad,
See you tomorrow,
If Gilberto comes, tell him I'm not here, I don't want to see him,
Fine, but you'll have to talk sooner or later,
-More butter, -I'm off to work,
No, it's for my sister, right?
-That's disgusting, -Butter and syrup,
-You're not eating it, -Want some?
-The moving van will be here soon, -What moving van?
My desk and a couple of things, that's all,
-Finish up, we're leaving, -Butter, honey and bacon,
Really? Here,
-Brush your teeth, kids! -Want to try?
I made it just for you,
-That's disgusting! -Just for you,
Try it!
Kids! Let's go,
Good morning, Rise and shine, it's late!
Is everybody gone?
-Not me, -How about Carlota? Poor Gilberto,
Your princess loves playing the victim,
-Adelina, if it looks like a duck,,, -It could be a goose, mister,
And Chico, how dare he bring the bitch?
Daniela doesn't go anywhere without her,
-I didn't mean the pet, -Naughty boy,
We don't have a choice,
Everything will soon go back to normal,
Surprise!
What's wrong, family, aren't you glad to see me?
On vacation already?
No, they wanted to treat me like any other employee,
I told them to shove their job,
Gosh Rafis, a researcher job is very difficult to find,
Yes Mom, but what else could I do? I mean, right?
What's that?
Carlota dropped in last night,
-Turtle is here? -Yes,
So is your brother,
What? Why?
Long story, they're staying for a while,
Living at their parents' home!
They're such losers,
I can't believe it,,,
No way! The kids too, Mom?
-Yes, and they're staying in,,, -In my room! No,,,
Mom,,,
What happened to my teddy bear slippers?
Sorry Rafis, we thought you were staying over there,
Rafis, you can't just quit your job,
Especially not your first job, your only job!
Get it already, they didn't appreciate me, Dad,
But you know what?
It doesn't matter, we're all a bit upset, it's fine,
Mom, we'll make it work, there's room for everyone,
Let's all chill,
I'll take my stuff upstairs, Relax,
-What? -You spoil the kids rotten!
We can't send him to a hotel,
I can't take it anymore, I can't take it!
-I need some air, -Alright,
Hi, where should we put this? It's heavy,
What's with them? Who are they?
Look, compadre, it's kind of neoclassic,
Neoclassic? It's "art nuevo",
It's pronounced 'nouveau', bros, it's French,
Adelina, what's all this?
-Yes, yes, I'll explain,,, -Hi, miss,
He's native but attractive!
-You're such a racist, Daniela, -Whatever, Rafis,
Daniela, Chico told me it was only his desk,
-Yes, this is it, -What about the other stuff?
Oh Dad, one of the walls was infested with cockroaches,
Cockroaches, cockroaches in your neighborhood?
Yes, our new neighbor must've brought them,
I think he moved from near here,
Why are you mad? Don't you like having nice stuff?
I know for sure, baroque is loopier,
The finishes are Greco-Roman,
What do you know about Greco-Roman?
No, no, it's eclectic,
Alright, that'll be $3,500 pesos,
-They're talking to you, Daniela, -Chico didn't give me any money,
Well!
Are you sure it'll only be for a few days?
-I hope so, Dad, -Great, I'm so glad, my child,
Lovely house, sir, This district is a Mexico City classic,
-Three-thousand two-hundred, -What, $3,200?
-That's all I have, -What can I say?
Fine, let's bring the rest of the crap,
I'm exhausted!
Dany, can we use the TV to watch series?
Mom, new TV!
-There must be something we can do, -I'm sorry, banks always collect,
Help me, living at my folks' is really hard,
I know, I'd give you my right arm to help you, but,,,
,,,the wheels are turning,
Look, your parents could sign this as collateral,
You'll keep your place, you'll still owe, but you won't have to leave,
No, it's my parents' house, I couldn't,
Think about it, alright?
Sorry,
Hi, honey,
Yes, I'll tell you later,
We'll have to hang on a little longer, How bad can it be?
Yes, we'll talk later,
The worst part is I can't even be in my room,
I'll do it for the kids, but my siblings?
Honey, I think it's time you left your parent's home,,,
,,,and get a job,
Viole, just imagine being in the same house with Chico and Daniela,
I'm in a bind, My mom's neglecting me,
Besides, this is also bad for you, you can't see it,,,
,,,but think, we can't watch TV comfortably anymore,
Never mind the other stuff,
Honey, they're looking for instructors at my job,
I could recommend you, it's perfect,
You know so much about lots of stuff,
-Yes, -You've studied forever,,,
Honey, would I be teaching to office clerks? No thanks,
-Hey! -No,
No offense,
What would I teach? Astrophysics or motivational?
Besides, imagine us working together,
-We'll get sick of each other, -But you said we'd live together,
You'll get sick of working with me but not of living with me?
It's not the same,
If we live together, we'll only see each other at night,
So we'll only have time to go to the movies, restaurants,,,
,,,to do fun stuff,
I have a plan, There's a postgraduate course,
-It'll benefit me, us I mean, -Another one?
-Yes, -No, no, no,
I love you Rafis, but I can't wait for you any longer,
I'm almost 35!
-Viole, don't overreact! -I also,,,
I want to get married, I want to have a baby,
I want my own home, a family,
Violeta relax, what's the rush? Madonna had her first child at 41,
Not me!
-Don't call me! -No!
Violeta, please!
You like Madonna too!
Irigoyen?
You're Irigoyen, I'm Efren Lopez, from high school,
-Topo,,, -Topoy! Yes!
It's been years! What did you do, staple your belly? You're skinny!
Did your guts shrink?
I lost weight, I watched videos on the web and,,,
-What are you doing here? -Just visiting my girlfriend,
You have a girlfriend? Where is she?
She hasn't arrived yet,
Hey, you're a suit now, Do you still drive that bug?
-The red one? -Yes,
No, no, of course not, Actually,,,
,,,it's still red, but a bit cooler,
Of course, yes,
Still driving your mom's station wagon?
-No, man, -No?
No, we sold it ages ago, Of course not,
That's too bad, It brings back memories,
-Yes, -I really loved it,
Especially of Nanis, remember we made out in the trunk?
The trunk? Oh,,,
So what are you up to, what do you do?
Actually, I'm about to start giving motivational courses at companies,,,
-You could learn, -Great!
What about you? You!
You look like a man, damn it!
I'm a man, I mean, we're men,
Your sneakers don't make you look any younger, you know?
Frankly,,,,
Topoy, I'm really glad we bumped into each other,
Let's keep in touch, right?
-LinkedIn? -Facebook, but not under Topoy,
-Efren, Remember, -See you,
Great,
-What are you laughing about? -You were really fat,
Let's see,
-Who gave you this? Man! -Uncle Rafis shared them,
-Cool, Chico, -Hi, family!
-Hey, Uncle, -Hello,
My parents told us you didn't like the job, for a change,
-Didn't you miss me, Chico? -Where's Violeta?
-What about Violeta? -I imagine she's not happy,
-What? -What do you mean what?
Rafael, you have to grow up,
-What do you know, Turtle? -You won't commit,
Well Chico, when will you stop kissing ass?
-You damn bum! -Don't swear, the kids are here!
Will you shut up, fuck!
Look, if we're going to be together, even if only for a few days,,,
,,,you have to get along,
They started it,
Try not to fight,
Get it?
I said, get it?
-Yes Dad, calm down, -Yes, yes,
Good afternoon, is this the Irigoyen's place?
Yes, what are you selling?
You've been served,
We're seizing this house,
It's collateral for a loan,
It has the notes you signed with the bank,
Write down your name, your signature and today's date,
-Gladly, -Here, "I received,,,"
-That's it, thank you, -Hey, tell me something,
This house is worth a lot, isn't it?
If the bank keeps it, will we get our apartment back?
I don't know, lady, I guess, Why don't you ask your attorney?
-Good afternoon, -Good afternoon,
Violeta,
Hey, Violeta, it's me,
I don't understand what happened,,,
,,,why you walked away, You overreacted,
It's not our first fight, it's not our worst fight,
I think we can work it out and I deserve another chance, so,,,
,,,I'll be waiting for your call, please,
I love you,
Oh, I'm such an idiot!
Mom, please,
My siblings and I only ask for things from you,
We should give something back,
I want to come with you,
Hey Mom, look, there's Daniela's mom,
I like her whimsical style, so Belle Epoque,
Hi,
Ask her what she thinks about her daughter mooching off from us,
-Drop the kid and let's dance, -No, Mom, will you dance with me?
Sonny, find your own dance partner,
What's wrong, is it about the kids? It's an uncomfortable adjustment,
Uncomfortable adjustment? Arbitrary plunder!
Gosh compadre, you dance like Fred Astaire!
Single life suits you,
Well, our single life was kind of interrupted,
-How's that, comadre? -Carlotita moved back in with us,
-Gosh! -Lovers' quarrel,
-Well, I'm sure it's temporary, -Yes, a couple of days,
Yes, just like Chico,
What about Chico?
Cockroach infestation, so he's living with us too,
Bitch and all!
Good thing you've got a lot of space,
With Rafis gone,
Well, Rafis,,,
Oh Rafis, I was born in a grand mansion,
Everyone wanted to marry me, no one remembers now,
That's too bad, Lucia,
What happened to that grand mansion?
I guess you don't know that Chico and Daniela,,,
,,,are living in my house,
Everything vanished, it's gone, it doesn't exist, just like love,
Rafis, have you ever fallen in love?
Oh, Rafis!
Love and pain come hand in hand,
Don't even try, it would be a fruitless enterprise,
Let's just dance, come on,
Back, left, front, right,
and spin,
You know the steps, you just have to act like you know how to dance,
-That's what matters, -Hey, look!
Five or six,
-More, -I guess more,
-Five, What about Phelps? -Oh, I don't know,
About 18,
-Bye, Dad, -Bye, honey,
-Bye, Dad, -Bye, I love you,
-Me too, -Carlota, please listen to me,
-Hi, -Hello,
-Hi there, -Hi,
Oh, mother of God!
-Hi, Gilberto, -Hi,
-Bye, Gilberto, -Goodbye,
Who wants a banana split with condensed milk and chocolate?
-Me! -You?
-Gilbertito, plates, Susanita? -Chocolate chips,
Great, we have strawberry, vanilla, chocolate,
Perfect!
-What's wrong, Dad? -Nothing, son, nothing,
I'm just thinking about the gas, electricity and water bills,,,
,,,groceries, the telephone bill,
Don't worry, Rafis, nothing that can't be fixed,
A little bit less of this and that and we're fine,
-Right, Manu? -Yes,
-You know what? -What?
I'm going to help you,
I mean it, yes, Together we'll find the solution,
It doesn't matter,
-Of course it does, -Sure you won't come?
-The distraction will do you good, -Right, but,,,
It's your chance to be alone with Aldo,
-He doesn't like me, -Of course he does,
What should I do?
Well, here it goes,
Strike!
-Goodbye, -Bye,
He's out,
Family, the early bird catches the worm,
I can't believe my eyes!
Chico, don't!
-Did you fall off the bed? -No, I have a surprise,
No son, for God's sake, I beg you, no more surprises,
What is it?
Japanese punctuality,
What are you talking about, Rafis? Rafis,
Wait,
-Rafis-San! -Takumi!
Mom, Dad, this is Takumi,,,
,,,my classmate from Japan,
He'll be in Mexico for a while,
-Well, welcome, Takeshi, -Takumi,
Takumi, sorry, Come in, come in,
Hurry up and come in!
Sorry about the mess, lately we've had a full house,
-Do I speak clearly enough? -Yes,
Great!
Yesterday he said he had nowhere to stay, he's renting half of my room,
-I see, -Damn it, Rafis!
Are you blind?
What, Dad? No,,,
You're the one who's blind,
It'll bring in cash, Takumi will pay,
Mom, he's from Tokyo, he only needs a square foot to sleep,
-Well, maybe a bit more, -Right,
A guy from Switzerland arrived too,
He can pay for the other half of my room in francs,
Don't you dare!
Papa,,,
-Papa, -Yes, that's right,
-Well, come in, -Come in,
A gift for me?
Thank you, thank you, Go ahead then, come inside,
-To the 'cooking', -Thank you very much,
Candy?
There you are!
Daniela, you have to do something, look,
-You did some pooh-pooh? -Train your dog,
Candy is perfectly house broken, Mom,
She must think the entire house is a toilet, it's all so dirty,
You're right, darling, and given the dog is yours,,,
,,,it's time you help with this dumpster,
You again?
Rafis?
Just a little, a little,
Hey, where did you say you met Yakimeshi?
Takumi, at school, He's cool, Stop staring at him, Chico,
What? I don't know him and he's living here,
To help us with expenses, it's a full house lately,
-'Mollete', -'Mollete'?
-'Mollete', -'Mollete',
By the way, Dad, Takumi paid me the first month's rent,
Hand it down,
Hey!
I'm the one who shares,
Yes, but thanks to Takumi, we have to sleep with my mom,
I understand your pain, Susanita, you can pay rent to me too,
Darling, my Pleiades!
I told you not to call me that, Mom,
Are you here to see me?
No, I was in the neighborhood,
Why do insist on wearing that makeup?
I heard you're living at the Irigoyen's,
See? I ended up crashing in the same district as before,
We belong where we belong,
This is your home, if you want,
No, it's falling apart and it smells like fried food,
The entire city does, haven't you noticed?
-What happened to your place? -What do you care?
Well, you might come visit someday,
We could discuss Cervantes, read Russian classics,
Russian?
I'll be out of this slum in a few days, you'll see,
Yes, sure,
Let me know where you go, If I can, I'll visit,
Great,
I love you, honey,
-You ate the two boxes I bought! -Buy more!
Look how many of us there are!
-What's wrong? -She always eats my stuff,
-Always? -Always, since you were little,
Your retarded Barbie fed it to the dog,
-Stop it! -I'm sick of this!
-Then go home! -You go home!
This isn't your house! Either you live in peace,,,
-Set them straight, Mom! -Shut up!
What a way to ruin breakfast,
The dog! That's all I needed!
That's all I needed!
I can't take it anymore, I can't,
This is so stressful, it's getting to me,
Thank you, son, thank you,
You're so right,
Yes, yes, yes,
Great, you and I will get along fine,
Beto says the only solution is for my parents to surrender this house,
I'm obviously not going to do that,
Talk to them, Chico,
This house is a classic, it's worth a lot of money,
Tell them to do us,,,
To do you a favor,
OK? Please,
I know, they can move in with us,
No Dany, of course not,
I'm doing what I can for them not to worry,
Come on, please, Come on,
-Talk to them, -No, please, I'm at my parents',
I can't do it here,
This has been going on for months,
Where were you? We missed you!
Comadre, if you only knew,
-What is it now? -The kids, the kids,
-Tell us, -Don't be nosy!
,,,the Los Angeles Ball Dance to win the grand prize,
-And he peed on Chico's sofa, -The bitch poohs everywhere,
-They're ungrateful, they're,,, -They're assholes,
Yes, they forget about us, they're creeps,
Oh no, my Roberto is a great kid,
He bought me a beautiful car,
He's a politician, our taxes paid for it,
-Ridiculous! -You're ridiculous!
That's why your kids don't love you,
That's enough, you busybodies, Go away,
-No, no, go away, -But we're talking,
Kids can be bad seed,
It's hard to accept,
Things are ugly, but not that bad,
-What did she mean? -It's all the same,
I'm thinking of something,
Something that could help you,
And your kids too,
It would be sabotage, I can't do that to my kids,
Look, let's wait and see how things go,
If it doesn't get better soon,,,
-But to do that to them? -I don't like it either,
But we can't just do nothing,
Why don't you talk to them first? They listen to you,
That's true, What if you talk to them?
You're the head of the family,
Yes, I'll get them to understand that they're not kids anymore,
They're all grown up,
Plan B would be madness, it'd be our last recourse,
-Something desperate, -Yes, you're right,
Well,,,
Give it to me!
-You're selfish, -I'm going to bite you,
Sure you will,
-I'm not afraid of you, -What's going on?
Dad, your daughter won't leave me alone!
Hush, give me that and clean up, this isn't your house!
-It's more mine than it is yours, -Shut up,
Kids, time for supper,
You're going to get it,
Kids, time for supper!
Rafis, tidy up, that's your brother's sofa,
-But it's in my living room, -This isn't your house!
Manuel, please help me,
Rafis, listen to your mother and pick up your stuff,
-What's going on? -Can't you see this pigsty?
Mom, Dad, I have a great idea,,,
,,,to get rid of Turtle!
-Shut up! -Just listen,,,
Shut up, Rafis! And pick up your mess,
Just hear me out, Mom, The first step,,,
I mean it, I'm sick of this mess,
-Everyone clean up! -Yes,
-My sofa is full of chips, get up,,, -Careful with Takumi!
How dare you eat chips on my sofa?
No, we're going to listen to music while we clean up, Turtle,
Turtle, we need harmony,,,
Last recourse?
Sorry,
Come Manuel, come honey!
It's a pact, let's do it!
Last recourse!
You're so handsome, come to me!
-Let's do it, -No, no hats,
-No hats, -And now, your pill,
-No, I don't need it, -You don't?
Takumi, Agustin Lara,
A hell of a singer,
Hey,,, it's an earthquake!
Cover your ears,
What's wrong with Grandma?
-Mama? -Mama,
This is war, I'm ready,
Well done, Manuel, very well done,
Only you know your kids' weaknesses,
Their vulnerabilities,
-Their sweet spots, -Their Achilles ankles, damn it,
Kitty, kitty-cat!
Come, kitty-cat, aren't you sweet?
And Carlotita,,, hated the clocks tick-tocking,
Who's there?
Get,,,
,,,out of,,,
,,,this,,,
,,,house,
Takumi!
Make them suffer a bit,
Make them feel uncomfortable,
Move over,
The point is to screw with them,
Until they decide to scram,
If it's yellow, let it mellow,,,
Oh, no!
Breakfast,
-Grandma, my eggs are moving, -It's protein, honey,
It's gross!
Yes, it's disgusting, Grandma,
That's all we have,
Want some more mezcal?
Be quiet, I'm a bit tipsy,
-Alright, I want two cards, -I only need one,
-Fine, but no cheating, -I don't cheat,
Fine,
Just my luck!
Dad, at least stop smoking,
It's bad for the kids, please,
You're right, honey, I'll fix that,
Kids, go to your room and stay there,
-You too, Carlotita, -I like the smell of cigars,
That's good, Want some?
-Yes, -Dad!
-Just one puff! -Stop it, please,
Pick up the tissues,
I'm on it, in a minute,
Really, there's nothing for breakfast?
What is this?
Edible insects, like in The Lion King,
Why didn't you say anything?
I was ashamed to disappoint them, But I can't take it anymore,
I'm sure business will pick up,
They will be disappointed, Turtle, Chico was their star kid,
He always did well, he's successful,
It's horrible that they're taking your apartment,
-Good morning, youngsters! -Hi, sleep well?
Why the long faces?
They cut off the power, I'm going pay it,
There's no food, but I'll bring groceries,
-Great, great, -Chico, lend me some cash,
Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you about my apartment,
What's wrong, son?
You'd better sit down,
I needed to tell you, the truth is,,,
,,,we're not remodeling our apartment,
The fact is,,,
Hi, Mom,
Hi,
Son, you need a nap,
I'm quitting my workouts, ironing is all I need,
I don't know how you managed,
Look, if it's necessary,,,
,,,use this money to get your place back,
But don't tell your dad,
No Mom, these are your savings, I couldn't,
-Shut up and keep it, -I can't,
I'm doing my best,,,
,,,to get the company going and pay up, no,
Keep it, Pay me back when you're on your feet again,
With interest, of course,
Thanks,
How do you iron collars? It's complicated,
Don't worry, I'll do it,
But I need to ask you,,,
,,,to go to the barber shop,
Thank you,
Viole?
Rafis!
Hi,
Hello,
Sorry I,,, have to go,
No, I called you a million times, please,
Look, I found a job,
-I'm so glad, -Well, I had an interview,
Actually, I'm just on my way over, It's a matter of time,
-Yes, of course, -Yes, Well, I was thinking,,,
Maybe with me working,,,
,,,and you working,,,
,,,we could continue with our plans,
Rafis, there's something I need to tell you,
You look so beautiful,
Chocolate,,, for my princess,
Irigoyen!
Hey, you didn't friend me on Facebook, that's uncool, Why?
Topoy, what are you doing here? Violeta?
-You know each other? -Topoy?
-Sure we do, -It's a small world,
What?
-Yes, let's go, -We're leaving? Yes,
-Are you driving? -Yes, Get in, please,
This is my bug now,
Come in,
In bed so early?
Yes, Dad, I'm really tired,
What happened in Puebla?
I told you, I went and they didn't appreciate me,
They didn't like my ideas, so I didn't take the job,
Rafis, it may not seem like it, but you're a smart guy,,,
,,,educated, cultured,
Dad,,,
Are you proud of me?
Is there something you need to tell me?
-What's going on with Violeta? -Oh, Dad,
Yes, son,
I'm very proud of you,
Thank you,
Beto,
Hi, it's Dany, Chico's wife,
Yes, Manuel Irigoyen, Chico,
Hey, remember his parents,,,
,,,gave their house as collateral?
Guess what?
My dad in law agreed to sign the deed,
I know, they're really nice,
They're moving in with us,
Yes, in Santa Fe,
I know, that apartment is divine,
Yes, that area is gorgeous,
I love it!
No Gilberto, stop it, I know you're about to cry,
-It won't work this time, -Listen to me,
So, this was your idea?
Carlota, I won't lie to you, and I won't answer either,
-Keep talking, we're leaving, -Keep talking,
What's going on?
He didn't cheat on her, we talked,
I knew it,
No Gilberto, I won't talk, you hurt me,
-Darling, please,,, -No, you cheated on me,
-You cheated on me, -No he didn't, Tell her, Gilberto!
Carlota,,,
,,,there's something I need to tell you,
I think it's better if I show you,
But please, don't judge me,
-What is this? -I'm the lion,
-That's creepy, -No, don't be scared,
It's a club,
The costumes are furries,
-It's a fantasy, -What kind of fantasies do you have?
-For instance, who is this foxy? -It's kid's play,
It's our inner child playing,
Besides, it de-stresses me,
Just like going to the gym or bowling,
I didn't tell you, because sometimes I simply can't talk to you,
-Stop it, Gilberto, -I need my alone time too,
-Then that time,,, -Is on Thursdays,
In a house, next to that motel,
-Are you serious? -Yes,
I'm sorry,
I was so stupid,
Sorry for not being there, not listening,
They're kissing!
I'm sorry,
And, I have something to tell you too,
I,,, you know, I bowl,
-Aldo has a bowling alley and,,, -Yes, I know,
-You do? -I followed you the other night,
-You look so sexy bowling, -Oh, Gilberto,
-Beautiful! -Cut it out!
I'm so glad we're going home,
-Yes, -Thanks!
Thank Rafis, we didn't do anything,
I did it to get you out of here,
Because I love you so much, sis, I love you,
I can't wait to get out of here,
-And step,,, -That's well good!
Compadres, now you're ready for the dancing contest!
Of course, we're going for the grand prize,
-How's it going back home? -It couldn't be better, comadre,
-The plan worked perfectly, -Yes,
Carlota made up with Gilberto, and Chico and Daniela,,,
,,,it's a matter of time for them to go,
What about Rafis?
-The same, -It's harder with Rafis,
Well, we're used to his presence,
I'm glad, compadres,
-Yes, the table looks beautiful, -Here's some oil,
Check out how Chico arranged those olives,
They look great, where's Barbie?
She's angry, she'll come later,
Gosh, she's something else!
Well,,,
,,,besides celebrating Mom on Mother's Day,,,
,,,I think she should be celebrated all year,
I want to thank you for this time together,
It was good for me,
-So, cheers, -Cheers, cheers!
-Congratulations, cheers! -To my wife,
-Cheers, -Cheers!
-Who'll get it? -I'll go,
-Good afternoon, -Hi,
Sir, you've been served,
It's about the formal seizure of this property,
Here is the information, verify it,
The number, street, the owner's name,
But,,, so fast?
So fast? We've served several warnings,
Look, here are the acknowledgments of receipt,
-It's my wife's signature, -Right,
Besides, the transfer record has been signed,
Here it is, below are the amounts you are required to pay,
Therefore, the date of eviction for this property,,,
,,,has been scheduled,
Good afternoon,
Hey,
And salad too,
You have no idea,
I guess he liked it a lot, he got so drunk,
It was so scary, Gilberto,
Who was it, son?
It's an eviction notice for this house,
The bank is collecting my mortgage with this house,
What?
-Grandpa! -Relax, Dad, are you okay?
Damn it,
You haven't learned crap of what I taught you!
You're a fake!
A conceited brat, a fraud!
I'm fake, Dad? To learn from you?
You were never with me when I was a kid,
Tell him who taught me to knot my ties, Mom!
You're ungrateful, not to mention ridiculous!
Bringing out childhood traumas!
There you go again with your damn tie knot!
-Dad, calm down,,, -Butt out!
One loses a house and the other will never have one!
I'm sick of you being a coward and a freeloader!
You said you were proud of me,
Proud, proud of what?
Of you lying to me and telling me you found a job as a researcher?
Well, do you think I was born yesterday?
Manu, how can you say that to him?
-Calm down, -Don't worry, I'm calm,
I'm really calm, but I'm also fucking sick of your children!
Dad, I did my best to get that job,
I made a mistake and didn't get it,
I wanted you to be proud of me,
Let's all calm down,
They'll keep the house and you can keep the apartment,
-You agreed to it, Chico? -Of course not,
I never signed this document, someone forged my signature,
-Did you do this to me? -Dad, I'd never,
Mom gave me your savings and,,,
-Our savings? -Daniela!
What the hell?
Manu, I gave him our savings to try and help,,,
,,,maybe get an extension,
How could you, Adelina?
How the hell could you do this to me?
-No Dad, don't! -Don't interfere, fatty!
All my years of work, down the drain!
Manu, you're my dearest, forgive me,
Is this how you treat your dearest? With treason?
I won't allow it, Dad!
What are you going to do? Punch me too?
What did he say?
That family comes first and to stop shouting, everyone,
He said the two of you are hypocrites,
Because instead of talking to us,,,
,,,you tried to trick us into leaving,
The cuckoo clocks, allergies and ghosts?
Was it really you?
You wouldn't listen and didn't pitch in, so,,,
-How could you? -No, no,,,
No, you have no right to fuss, you bum!
Chico,,, he says you're a liar,
You should stop lying to yourself,,,
You can love anyone you want and,,,
,,,and you should come out of the closet,
-Son, you,,,? -What closet?
Carlota,,,
He says you're all messed up,
Hey!
Carlota, love yourself,
Carlota, you are free to do whatever you want,
Who guarantees you're translating his truthfully?
-I wouldn't lie to you, -Sure,
What did he say?
That I always want to save everyone,,,
,,,but I should save myself first,
He's right, Rafis, Be a man already!
-Yes, man, -Dad, you don't get it,
-No, Rafael,,, -Stop it, enough!
You adults are all selfish,
We don't even seem like a real family,
We must try to be better people, to help each other,
The people from the bank will come back tomorrow,
No one should be home,
You'll have to sleep somewhere else,
We have to buy some time,
You'll stay with us, Mom,
Thank you, Turtle, but your place is too tiny,
How dare you!
What if they look for them there?
No, a neutral place, A hotel, for example,
How will we pay for a hotel?
Our parents can't spend a single penny,
Heavens!
I have an idea!
This is stooping really low!
Here, some blankets in case it gets cold,
-Thanks, Aldo, -It's fine,
See you in a while,
This is very kind of you, Aldo, it's so embarrassing,
-Blankets, -We're on the same team, mate,
I really appreciate it, Don't do that!
Strike!
Stop it, Strikes!
You're so sweet,
-We'll bring some more, -We're fine,
-Thank you so much, -Sleep tight,
-Which one's your favorite? -I guess this one,
Let's see,
-No! -No, no, not again!
Uncle, I want to play too!
Careful with the kids!
Family, who wants to be a Strike?
I do!
-Excellent! -That was so great!
Honey! Guess where I am,
In our apartment!
You're there? I've been looking for you for hours!
What the hell did you do? My parents are being evicted!
I thought you'd be happy,
How the hell would I be happy?
We have to return that apartment, and the money you stole,
Honey, I can't hear you, Hello?
Daniela,
Hello?
Daniela!
Leave your message, the call will be,,,
Comadre, we came running as soon as we heard!
We drove by your house, there were strangers at the door,
-Compadres, who could they be? -The bank people, woman,
We need to pay a fortune not to get evicted,
That's why we came, compadre, the grand prize!
-It's a fortune! -We're still on time!
-Just about, -Let's go!
I'll drive!

You didn't dance very well, compadres,
I love the color,
There's a positive side to it, sir,
I mean, you lost a house,,,
,,,but you won a washing machine,
If you put it that way, fine, Come on!
All those years of work,
We have our savings, and you can stay at our place,
Thank you, beautiful,
Well, you can sell my iPad, Grandma,
No, honey,
My darling, what a lovely gesture!
Don't you dare do this to me when you grow up,
Your house is so lovely,
Just look, it even looks pretty empty,
Cheer up, you're a lovely family,
You'll be on your feet again soon,
-This way, -Careful, honey,
Take that side,
Yes, we should try that,
Carlota,
These are clean,
Thanks,
Stay in my room, Mom, please,
Darling, you'll barely fit with the kids,
Good thing it won't be for long,
-Where will your brothers stay? -I don't know,
Chico is staying with Beto, his friend,
We'll see about Rafis when he gets back,
Sleep tight,
Manu?
-Are you asleep? -No, woman,
Remember when we went camping with the kids?
You never liked it,
We always ended up in a hotel,
Imagine it's one of those outings,
And it'll soon be over,
The only thing that makes me happy,,,
,,,is being with you even in bad times,
In bad times, in worse,,,
,,,and in these,
Wait, I have an idea,
Come with me, darling,
Look, just like in the countryside!
That's where Rafis fell in love with stars,
Rafis, Rafis!
Violeta, forget about the other pictures,
This one is truly you,
The most beautiful star,
Chico, Chico, hey, listen,
I need to see you,
Are you sure your plan will work?
Chico, you saw the papers,
I got straight A's in Law class,
Trust me, we can appeal the ruling,
Lucía is willing to help, look,
Guys, everything's ready, we should hurry,
Are you sure, Mrs, Lucía?
I feel responsible for what my girl did,
Help is on the way, Chico, see you later,
Let's go!
They're here,
She's my daughter,
Lucía!
My blooming flower, come here, come!
-Mom, let me go! -You're coming with me!
-Let me go! -Shut up!
Ready?
Chico, let's go!
-Scoot over, come on! -Move it!
-Let me go! -Right,
Beto's been briefed,
Yes, I'm so sorry,
I never thought the signature was forged,
Look, Beto,
This proves the eviction was illegal,
How could you do this, my child?
I did it for love, alright? To give my husband the best,
Daniela, please! Now you have to sign that paper,
-What paper? -This one,
Confessing everything you did, You have to return the apartment,
-I won't, -Sign it, Daniela,
-I won't sign! -Grab the pen and sign!
Shut up!
You're signing, infant, and stop whining!
Sign it,
Look, young man, I brought you my dwelling's papers,
It's ancient, but it's worth something,
Mom!
Take it as collateral too,
Great, but there's a debt,,,
,,,and it needs to be paid,
Business will pick up, it's a matter of time,
-I'll solve it, -And I'll help you,
Thank you,
Careful, careful!
Oh, it's heavy!
It's dinnerware my mom bought in Puebla,
Are you alright?
-Yes, -Are you alright?
Yes,
Chico's kind of happy with that guy,
So what? As long as he's happy,
It can't do any harm,
Tell him something for what he did,
Something, like what?
-It's crystal clear, isn't it? -Right,
-Son? -Yes?
-I want to tell you something, -Tell me, Dad,
I hope,,,
,,,you pay your debts,
Yes, Dad, I'll sell my company to settle all debts,
Besides, I wanted to tell you,,,
I'm starting something with Beto,
What do you mean,,,?
Son, thanks for helping us get our home back,
Thank you for always supporting us,
Rafis is the one we should thank,
He came up with this plan,
And Lucía, she answered for her daughter,
All that tuition finally paid off,
Don't tell him, he'll be insufferable,
He'll always be a child,
-Hi, -The pubescent is here,
Hi,
Mom, Dad, this is for you,
We still owe you some,
-About half, -But they'll finish paying,
Yes, I can raise Takumi's rent,
Now there's more space at home,
If Rafis doesn't come soon, his eggs will go cold,
I'll go wake him up,
Son,,,
There are stars that look like all other ones,
Tiny,
But one day, they grow so much,,,
,,,that their light is bigger than the rest,
And so they remain for another million years,
It's an extraordinary spectacle that happens far from us,,,
,,,in another part of the Universe,
But they say the same thing will happen in our galaxy,
With a star we'll be able to see with the naked eye,
Even in daylight,,,
,,,over the next fifty years,
Though I think,,,
,,,it'll happen sooner,
SAN PEDRO MARTIR OBSERVATORY

WE ARE PLEASED TO LET YOU KNOW,,,
,,,YOU ARE NOW PART OF OUR RESEARCH TEAM,,,
THE KIDS ARE BACK
Papa-San, Mama-San, good morning,
Is he staying to live with us?
Don't worry, I'm sending him back to his mother,
