7. Oh! You're way too big.

8. What do you mean? You told them yourself!

9. Whether I said it or not, I don't even remember.

10. - Cut! Cut it!

11. - Hey sir, we have a problem. - Huh?

12. The actress won't be here because she called in sick.

13. What's up, director? You look a bit stressed out.

14. Your dearest young lady... isn't gonna make it.

15. No, don't say that.

16. - Go get me the writer. - Is that the little fellow?

17. - Yes, that one. - Going.

18. What now?

19. Here I am, sir.

20. Uh. Please, Roberto.

21. I need you to please, uh, take the bride out of the scene.

22. And also I wanted to please ask you

23. to write something else

24. so that everything still works somehow.

25. Well, that sounds easy.

26. You can do it. Gonzalo, please get the gentleman a desk

27. and a chair, because he's gonna work.

28. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

29. Hey, help me with this! Come here!

30. I'm coming, I'm coming!

31. - (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY) Come on, come on.

32. My dearest Roberto.

33. I really need to tell you that you're a total Shakespeare.

34. Nah, it's not that big of a deal.

35. Of course it is.

36. You handle the pen and language like no one else.

37. - Thank you, sir. Well done!

38. Gonzalo, we have among us a budding young,

39. young little Shakespeare.

40. A real Shakespear-ito. (CHUCKLES)

41. - Yeah, we do, sir. - (CHUCKLES) That's right!

42. You've got a new nickname, shorty.

43. - There it is. That's it.

44. (CHUCKLES) Make copies and have them learn it.

45. Perfect. Everyone in their positions!

46. Makeup, enter with the actors.

47. - Thank you, sir. - Of course.

48. - (THUNDER RUMBLING) Run, hurry!

49. Gotta get coverage! Move it.

50. - Where are you going? I'm going downtown.

51. Help me with the props!

52. If we make ourselves small, there's room for both of us.

53. - Seriously? - Of course.

54. Thank you so much, Chespirito, you're the bee's knees.

55. I said you're the bee's knees.

56. No, no, the other thing. What did you call me?

57. Chespirito? Because that's what the director called you.

58. - Did I say it wrong? - No.

59. No, you said it very nicely.

60. Hmm. (CHUCKLES)

61. I like the way it sounds like that.

62. - With a "Ch." - (CHUCKLES)

63. Chespirito.

64. Come on.

65. Not Really On Purpose.

66. Oh, poor things, all of them.

67. Okay, what do you want?

68. 9 YEARS LATER

69. Let's see here. Let's see, sir.

70. - What? Should I stand here? - Yes.

71. - And then what? - You say your dialogue.

72. - All right, go ahead. - Which is?

73. - I can't work like this, damn it! - Ah!

74. - You're always exaggerating! - You've got me up here!

75. - I'm not exaggerating! You're drunk, you idiot! - I'm not, you're lying.

76. - No, I'm doing things perfectly fine. - You're exhausting my patience!

77. But why do you have to fight? Calm down, calm down.

78. No, I'm not calming down, move.

79. - Get out of here. Just get out of here. - Get this drunkard out of here.

80. - Let's see if— - No, no, no!

81. If you fight, we won't solve anything.

82. Get outta here, fucking dunce, second-rate actor!

83. Stick to writing, idiot. Stop wasting our time.

84. - Get out of here! - Let go of me!

85. This ain't gonna solve anything.

86. Get the hell out of here!

87. And you, you're getting on my nerves! Stop it!

88. Let me go, let me go!

89. You don't have to fight.

90. I'm gonna kick your ass, you bastard! Let me go!

91. - Yeah! Try me! Stop fighting!

92. Let me go goddamn it!

93. Stop it! I'm gonna kick your ass, you bastard!

94. I understood it 20 years ago, when you resigned

95. because you didn't wanna be an engineer.

96. But this time, tell me, why?

97. I've been mistreated for way too long.

98. I'm not willing to tolerate being humiliated again.

99. You definitely don't deserve that.

100. Those two have always had it out for you.

101. Yes, but how are you gonna pay for your mother's chemotherapy?

102. I gonna have to talk to my brothers.

103. - We'll figure it out somehow. - How, honey?

104. - What are you gonna do? - The same thing but differently.

105. I'm finally gonna get to do the comedy that I like.

106. - (CHUCKLES) What comedy is that? - I'm looking into it.

107. Let me know when you have something new.

108. Yeah, besides, Sergio's your number one fan.

109. Don't forget!

110. That admiration is mutual, reciprocal, bilateral.

111. And I wanna act too.

112. Oh, do you? So, you wanna do it all.

113. I love you! (KISSES)

114. (READING PROMPT)

115. Let's go!

116. (CHUCKLES) Thank you. Welcome.

117. Come on, get down.

118. - Wait, hold on. - Careful. All right, come on.

119. Wait inside for us.

120. Well, we're gonna go on ahead of you.

121. Chespirito! Chavo! - (CAR HORN HONKING)

122. - Hey. - (CAR ENGINE REVS)

123. "Welcome Chavo del Ocho."

124. All right, how are you?

125. All right. I'll leave the car to you, bro.

126. - Gotcha! How are you? - How are you, champ?

127. Nice to meet you, sir.

128. Hey! How's everyone doing?

129. - (KISSES) Thank you all so much for coming here! Hey guys!

130. Okay.

131. Oh! What's my dad doing?

132. (CHUCKLES) What are you doing, Roberto?

133. - (GASPS) - Oh, hey.

134. All right, come on, come on.

135. That whole getting dizzy thing in the revolving door

136. is an excellent idea for El Chavo.

137. That's really a great idea. But it's impossible to shoot.

138. The cables won't be able to reach, and all the equipment.

139. No, no, hold on, it's not just a good idea,

140. it's an excellent one, and you have to make it happen.

141. Well, Mariano might be right

142. and maybe the cables won't reach.

143. No! Robert!

144. Mariano's here to solve and you're here to create.

145. - Yes or no? - Kinda sorta.

146. We already have your rooms ready, sir.

147. Your room is 1014. Madame, 1014. Yours is 1023.

148. Thank you.

149. I think this is yours, dear.

150. - Thank you. Yeah.

151. - Shall we go? Yeah.

152. - I'll see you guys soon. - Yeah.

153. Come on.

154. I love this pool area, I gotta tell you.

155. So, I'm planning on shooting everything out here.

156. I don't know, maybe the "Mrs. Bikini" bit.

157. - Yeah. No?

158. So, that you have a... the whole entire area to use.

159. And up there, the diving board, can I use that?

160. (CLEARS THROAT) One over there and others over here.

161. Do you think you could hang upside down?

162. Let's do it. Please prepare the trampoline.

163. And you know, I'm thinking

164. that maybe we can use this walkway right here.

165. - To play around. Yeah!

166. - Like this! (LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS) Yeah, perfect!

167. And if we go to the pool over there...

168. Mm-hmm. - ... we can do the scene

169. where the... the little witch has to fall in the water.

170. Pardon. Sir I was asked to deliver this to you.

171. - To me? Roberto Gómez? - Mr. Gómez.

172. - Thank you. Thank you.

173. "I'll see you at the restaurant at 8:00 p.m.

174. Dress formally."

175. Hey, I'll tell you what else I was thinking about.

176. Apart from the fact that we can use the bridge,

177. how about right after you're left hanging upside down,

178. you start to cling like a little wet kitten?

179. Yeah, I mean if I'm already there...

180. - (CHUCKLES) Would be funny, huh? - Right.

181. Hey, what else? Oh, we should see the hallways.

182. I wanna check out the locations.

183. Let's keep going, do you know who those guys are?

184. Yeah, they're the guys that came with Marcos.

185. Man, life is surely tough on us, Marcos.

186. It's funny you say that,

187. because I was thinking the same exact thing.

188. - Life is very unfair. - (MARCOS LAUGHS)

189. Especially since I'm almost done with my gin and coconut here,

190. and I'm way too lazy to get an encore.

191. An encore?

192. Another round at the bar over there. (LAUGHS)

193. (LAUGHS) Don't be a dork, brother.

194. Hey, Ramón. What if I told you

195. that you could be the star of my show, brother, huh?

196. (SMACKS LIPS) Come on, what show is that, man?

197. I'm not happy here anymore.

198. Roberto thinks he's the big star and he doesn't let me shine.

199. The audience adores you and me.

200. I'm just a humble Necaxa fan, man.

201. I'm gonna leave El Chavo so I can have my own show, man.

202. And I want you to come with me.

203. I think you've had a bit too much

204. coconut filled with gin, buddy.

205. - No, Ramón. - No, listen to me.

206. If you leave we'll all end up losing here.

207. No, Ramón! You gotta trust me. The audience adores you and me.

208. The only one who will lose here is Roberto.

209. No, no, no. Don't you touch that butt cheek,

210. because I just got a shot on it.

211. Ramón, come with me, brother!

212. Oh, Marcos.

213. You know that I can't do that to Chespirito.

214. Why don't we just toast, chubby cheeked bastard.

215. - Do whatever you want. - Yeah.

216. (OVER TV) Turbulent days for Mexican society.

217. The army has taken to the streets to protect

218. the Mexican people following the latest events

219. caused by the student movement.

220. President Díaz Ordaz did not want to refer

221. to the incidents of the last few days

222. and has addressed other issues

223. of social interest in his speech today.

224. Fruit of this government

225. which is committed to seeing Mexico

226. grow towards progress,

227. we announce the new concession of Channel 8 television

228. which will begin broadcasting from its studios in the south

229. of the Federal District.

230. Just as the president announced,

231. the creation of this new channel

232. opens the doors to future concessions,

233. that expand the entertainment offering in the country.

234. From this house, we congratulate ourselves for the creation

235. of this new project and welcome our competitors

236. with the sure conviction that they will contribute

237. to the creation of new opportunities in the sector.

238. As for recent events just as expect—

239. "The Citizen."

240. Excuse me, Mr. Sergio Peña's office?

241. - Third floor, please, sir. - Thanks.

242. (OVER TV) My friends, Mexican family,

243. welcome, everyone.

244. Thank you, thank you for this warm reception.

245. Today we have a real program, one that's full of prizes,

246. surprises and many, many guests.

247. Good day. I'm looking for Mr. Sergio Peña.

248. I didn't make an appointment, but we're good friends.

249. He's not there, but you can wait for him on this side.

250. You can grab coffee while...

251. - Right here? - Yes.

252. - Thank you kindly. - Go ahead.

253. And he's right here

254. telling us what the phrase of the week was

255. which has definitely left everyone thinking...

256. And of course we have a winner this week,

257. And that winner shares with us the phrase that goes like this,

258. "Don't dream your life, live out your dream."

259. That's a good one! (LAUGHS)

260. Well, this is nothing but a sample of wisdom.

261. And now, we are reaching the end

262. of our beautiful program...

263. Excuse me, do you know what time Mr. Sergio will be here?

264. He knows me really well.

265. We worked very closely at the other station.

266. I already told you no.

267. But if you'd like, give me your name

268. and your number so we can get in touch with you.

269. No, it's all right. I'll wait for him.

270. Hey!

271. - You play Shory, right? - Uh. Rubén Aguirre.

272. It's nice to meet you.

273. Don't you remember me? Uh, please remind me.

274. Roberto Gómez Bolaños,

275. from "Comedians and Melodies."

276. Oh, Chespirito! Oh, man. How is everything?

277. Very well. Do you work here now?

278. Yeah, look. Deputy Content Manager.

279. I actually have some comedy proposals

280. that I'd love for you to check out.

281. Gabriela.

282. - Why don't you answer? - Do you remember the sketches...

283. I've been calling you.

284. Do you need me to hire someone

285. to help you do your job or something?

286. Excuse me, sir. I was just here with the gentleman,

287. who has been trying to locate Mr. Sergio Peña.

288. He has some projects to present to him.

289. I'm the one who oversees the projects here,

290. so he's gonna need to make an appointment.

291. I'm going to the studio, I won't be long.

292. Listen, Sergio Peña knows me really well.

293. If you ask for a reference,

294. I'm sure that he'll speak well of me,

295. or I don't know, at least about my work.

296. The only thing I'm asking of you

297. - is for you to read what I have here. - (SIGHS)

298. You're gonna realize that this is precisely what

299. Channel 8 needs right now. It's a bit of humor.

300. You guys are kinda serious. And I need you guys to...

301. Comedy, wonderful comedy! People wanna have a good time

302. and... and laugh.

303. Wholesome humor is always welcome.

304. - And that, sir, is really my specialty! - Okay, that's enough.

305. This is as far as you go. This man cannot pass.

306. But, uh—

307. I need to be in that meeting room.

308. Mr. Treviño is a very special character.

309. Don't take it personally, okay?

310. I have an idea. Follow me.

311. This way? - Here, hold this for me.

312. (GRUNTS) Come on.

313. Now just because I've got a really good feeling about you.

314. Okay, leave this. I'll give that to you in a second.

315. Come on.

316. - One, two, three. Two, three.

317. I suspect you and I are gonna go very far.

318. That's it. Here.

319. All right, my turn.

320. - Okay, here. One, two, three. - (RUBÉN GRUNTS)

321. Here. That's it.

322. (GRUNTS) There you go.

323. Jump down. It's pretty soft. Do it!

324. Whoa! (GRUNTS) There you go.

325. - (COUGHS) There you go.

326. There we are. (PANTS)

327. Okay, we got it. Are you okay?

328. Yeah! - Come on.

329. I ate half the straw there.

330. I wasn't even this brave when I fought bulls.

331. - Come on. - Let's go. (PANTS)

332. - How serious are you about this? Huh?

333. The instruction here is to improve the news bar, man.

334. - Not to start trying to— - Hello.

335. - Wait. How'd you get in here? - Chespirito!

336. - Sergio Peña! - (BOTH CHUCKLE)

337. Brother, it's so nice to see you here.

338. You don't know what a creative gem this shorty is.

339. Oh man, thank you.

340. He might seem ugly and awkward,

341. but he's talented like few others.

342. By the way,

343. I suspect that whatever he's got under his arm there

344. - is probably worth a lot. - Ah?

345. I suspect that he suspects well.

346. (CHUCKLES) That's good to hear, my brother.

347. - Let's go listen to Chespirito. - (BREATHES DEEPLY)

348. You have 20 minutes to convince me.

349. Twenty minutes? Ah! Um...

350. I brought three ideas,

351. which I promise are very original.

352. Three? You need to have 15.

353. Why do you look like that, Aguirre?

354. Please clean yourself up before entering my office.

355. Yes.

356. - That was two. - (CLEARS THROAT)

357. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

358. - Yes. There's a bathroom here. - Okay.

359. Come on.

360. And the second character would be the Charro one.

361. There's the Charro, who thinks he's doing his... his charades.

362. And in contrast to Figurine

363. he tries to woo the young lady,

364. and before waxing his mustache...

365. (IMITATES TEARING) he rips it off.

366. Well, no. No, Mr. Awesome, you didn't convince me.

367. Well, I do think that there's some good stuff in there.

368. Yes. Thank you.

369. No, but Chespirito has another great character.

370. Brilliant. - Yeah.

371. In these extremely turbulent times,

372. we need the character of a good citizen

373. who... who with a great sense of humor,

374. not only makes us laugh but also makes us reflect...

375. on things that young people like these days,

376. and with physical comedy too, of course.

377. Is that you?

378. It depends. Who were you waiting for?

379. Well, who else?

380. Because I present to you Citizen Gómez.

381. - Very nice to meet you? - Very nice to meet you.

382. They liked it!

383. And I'm gonna act in the pilot!

384. I'm gonna get to play my very own character!

385. - (GASPS) I am Citizen Gómez.

386. Are you serious?

387. Well, that's what you wanted, wasn't it?

388. - It's what Citizen Gómez wanted! - (CHUCKLES)

389. (CHUCKLES) I told you Channel 8 was an option.

390. We just need to shoot a few things to test it, but...

391. I'm positive it's all gonna work out!

392. I love seeing you this happy.

393. And how much are they gonna pay us?

394. Another battle that'll have to be fought with vigor.

395. Here I come, knuckleheads!

396. Don't get run over.

397. - Wow! - (MARCELA GÓMEZ GIGGLES)

398. Careful with your fingers.

399. Super beautiful! - You guys like it?

400. Well, the battle's already been won.

401. Who would have thought that you'd succeed as an actor?

402. Mm-hmm.

403. But we've already seen him with Garepa and Tartalina.

404. Well yes, but at this age?

405. I'm calling the backseat!

406. (ROUGH VOICE) Is your mom implying that I'm old?

407. - Are you guys implying that I'm old? - (KIDS LAUGH)

408. Not you, but the car, yes. A little bit.

409. Well, it's what we got!

410. And we haven't even finished paying for it yet.

411. But! As the old saying goes...

412. "Whoever buys old and cheap gets to keep the best part."

413. Hmm. I don't know.

414. - That's not the saying? - I don't know.

415. Welcome, new old car.

416. (READING PROMPT) - (EDGAR VIVAR SIGHING)

417. I just love this view.

418. Well then,

419. what'd you talk about with Roberto?

420. About my health.

421. - What about it? He's really worried.

422. He says I'm young now,

423. but that soon my heart will get its revenge,

424. and then I'll no longer be of use to him.

425. And what'd you say?

426. - That he's right. You think so?

427. Of course, I know I have to lose weight.

428. Take care of my liver, my cholesterol, and all that.

429. But that whole thing about

430. "Because after a while, you won't be of any use to me,"

431. I just don't think that sounds like Roberto.

432. That's coming from the other pillow,

433. the one that's starting to interrupt his sleep.

434. You need to forget about all that, seriously.

435. It does you more harm than body fat.

436. I'm kinda scared of this trip.

437. Oh, come on, you scared? Of what?

438. My damned sixth sense is telling me that

439. something smells extremely rotten in Denmark.

440. There, there, while we were looking at the location.

441. Yeah, it usually comes with a signature and—

442. well, they tell you something.

443. No, no it didn't come with a signature.

444. It came with nothing.

445. It just says that I have to be there at 8:00 p.m.

446. - Oh, that's so weird. (GASPS) The Chavo Del Ocho?

447. I can't believe it!

448. Oh, hi, Roberto, can I have your autograph?

449. - Good evening. - What is your name?

450. Maria. - Maria.

451. Don't you recognize Godínez?

452. He's your brother, right? - Yeah!

453. - It's a pleasure. Thank you so much.

454. - Oh, look at his handwriting! Bye! No way!

455. Who do you think it could've been?

456. Obviously, Graciela. Who else?

457. But Graciela could have told me that personally, right?

458. I'm even thinking it could be Marcos's little friends.

459. - (CHUCKLES) - Or somebody else.

460. Well, I just hope it's not...

461. that someone else, man, because if not...

462. It could be.

463. No, no, no. It's Graciela!

464. She wants to win you back,

465. think about it, use your head, man.

466. Well, I really hope you end being right.

467. I'm gonna get handsome.

468. - Even more than I already am. - (SCOFFS) How, man?

469. You're always wearing brown.

470. That's 'cause I only have brown shoes.

471. I want Bride 2 to be standing

472. on this side when I come in.

473. But I'm staying here? Right there.

474. - Okay. Let's go. - Let's go.

475. One over there and the others over here.

476. Ready.

477. Positions everyone, we're gonna roll.

478. Roll video. Rolling.

479. Gómez's Dilemma, take two, scene 35.

480. - Hello, Jorge. Hello.

481. Action!

482. Cut!

483. (SIGH, SCOFFS) Was it really that bad?

484. Honey. What happened? What are you doing here?

485. Are the girls okay?

486. Yes, yes, they're fine.

487. (BREATHES SHAKILY) It's your mother.

488. Your brother and Graciela have arrived.

489. - How are you? - Hanging in there.

490. Horacio.

491. Hello.

492. Come on in, Francisco.

493. I'm so glad that you're here.

494. (AS ROBERTO) How are you feeling, Mom?

495. Try not to ask stupid questions, Francisco.

496. How do you think I'm feeling?

497. I'm not Francisco.

498. I'm Roberto, Momma.

499. Oh, dear.

500. My son.

501. I really needed to see you. (SIGHS)

502. You look so much like your papa.

503. You have the same exact expression.

504. You both carry art in your veins.

505. But that, son, is not always a blessing, my love.

506. You have to understand...

507. something that your father could never understand.

508. Never grow apart...

509. from the people who love you

510. for chasing the ghosts of your imagination.

511. And always make sure that...

512. everything you do in your life...

513. make sure it's worth it.

514. Roberto, during these times, I'm sorry

515. that I'm not able to give you good news.

516. They've decided to save Citizen Gómez

517. for another time.

518. Which time?

519. A time in which the government is not in the eye of the storm.

520. And that's possible?

521. Listen, it's not my decision.

522. I'm just letting you know Citizen Gómez

523. isn't happening.

524. Well, I have other ideas, I have some other characters—

525. Yes, we'll see about that later. For now, you've been informed.

526. So, let's talk about what's next then.

527. No, nothing's next.

528. I'm sorry, Roberto.

529. Say goodbye, girls. - (MARCELA GROANS SOFTLY)

530. Bye.

531. Are they taking it away forever?

532. Hmm.

533. Yeah, but we'll buy another one that we all fit in later.

534. Really? A bigger one where we can all fit in?

535. - (CHUCKLES) - Yeah.

536. Okay, let's go inside.

537. Inside.

538. I really liked that car.

539. Come on.

540. We're gonna have a bigger one soon.

541. Don't worry. (CHUCKLES)

542. I'm still there, I managed to save my skin,

543. but I couldn't do anything for you.

544. And the old man? The doctor you like so much?

545. Now, that's a really good character!

546. Let's do something with that one.

547. Of course. I can try to advocate for you.

548. We have to skip Treviño and go straight to Vargas.

549. But this would be the final one, Roberto,

550. we can't make any mistakes.

551. Absolutely!

552. I'm even thinking... (HESITATES)

553. about what the old man might be carrying all the time,

554. like a brown bag.

555. He can go to the pharmacy

556. and ask for a bottle of bisbiru biparan guericu tiri mindol.

557. If they don't have bisbiru biparan guericu tiri mindol,

558. we'll, give you some bisbiru biparan

559. guaricu tiri midine substitute.

560. Now, if they don't have bisbiru biparan guericu tiri mindol,

561. nor bisbiru biparan gua ricu tiri midine, not a problem,

562. we'll just give you a substitute for the substitute.

563. A thief in the house!

564. - A thief in the house! - No, sweetheart! Calm down.

565. - There's a thief in the house! No, my love. He's not a thief.

566. - No, my love, I'm not a thief. - (GRACIELA CHUCKLES)

567. What happened? It's me.

568. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

569. - Come on, my love. - Daddy?

570. Yeah. I'm just rehearsing. It's a new character.

571. You look like an old man, dad.

572. (IMITATES RASPY VOICE) And this old man

573. is gonna get the whole family out of trouble.

574. - The doctor? Dr. ChapatÍn!

575. Now, we're in the hands of Dr. ChapatÍn!

576. - (SCOFFS, CHUCKLES) Dr. ChapatÍn asks,

577. what is this girl doing awake at this hour?

578. Go to bed! Little princess. Hm? Or we'll give her

579. some bisbiru biparan guericu tiri mindol pills.

580. - What were you doing? (CHUCKLES) - Huh?

581. Dr. ChapatÍn, is a sarcastic old man.

582. He's grumpy and very funny as well.

583. - Hmm. Who says so? I do!

584. And Peña.

585. I'm gonna give my vote of confidence.

586. But this time, your job will be at stake.

587. I'm responsible!

588. Congratulations to you.

589. Now get to work, and don't let me down, Roberto.

590. I'm gonna need three other characters.

591. I want a young girl, not very smart.

592. - Okay. - A professor that's stuck-up,

593. - conceited, vain to the core... Uh-huh.

594. - (SERGIO CHUCKLES) - I already know who can do it.

595. Professor that's stuck-up, conceited, vain to the core.

596. - Say no more! - (BOTH LAUGH)

597. And for contrast, we're gonna need a town drunk,

598. because comedy needs

599. - a really good contrast. - Of course.

600. The complete opposite of the professor.

601. That one can be played by Sergio.

602. No, man, don't complicate my life.

603. - (CHUCKLES) - No.

604. It's gonna be one of the biggest talents

605. - I've ever seen. - Hi.

606. The Mexican actor who's made me laugh the most.

607. That's Ramón!

608. - Hey, it's Chespirito! - (BOTH LAUGH)

609. - It's been a while, huh? - It's so nice to see you.

610. - Give me a hug. - (CHUCKLES)

611. - What brings you here? - You brought me here.

612. Holy crap, and why's that? What...

613. I'd like to offer you a job.

614. You don't say! I like the tone of that voice, Chespirito.

615. Would you like to play the role of "Tipsyneer Phil Mycup?"

616. Uh, you mean, me as a drunk?

617. Where would you get that from?

618. - What's your problem? - (CHUCKLES)

619. I mean, come on...

620. And we're gonna get you a hot piece of actress

621. to play opposite you, I promise.

622. (KISS) But you better get me a whole one,

623. why would we only want just a piece, huh?

624. A whole one! Of average size, of course, like me.

625. - But a whole one. - Ah!

626. - It's a deal, my Chespirito. - (CHUCKLES)

627. Look, Roberto, I really do appreciate it a lot, but...

628. I just don't do comedy.

629. Because you have the tone, the rhythm and the grace.

630. And the strength to create serious, profound characters.

631. I'm an actress, I'm not a comedian.

632. Well, yes, but I know you're not like the others.

633. You have everything you need to shine in the comedy world.

634. And not be another run-of-the-mill dramatic actress.

635. Hmm.

636. All right. But I'll only do it for a short time, okay?

637. We'll see how it goes.

638. My television addicts from all over the world.

639. May you have the good fortune to see and hear

640. the very best and least worst cultural program

641. of all the universal television of the universe.

642. - The Super Geniuses... - (APPLAUSE)

643. of The Square Table.

648. And Professor Mr. Rubén Jirafales.

649. "Doctor Chapatín Continues to Climb."

650. "An Unstoppable Success."

651. And Dr. Chapatín.

653. "The Supergeniuses of the Square Table

654. Make Their Way to Stardom."

655. We have a letter from a young lady who asks,

656. "What chance do I have

657. of marrying the most handsome man in the world?"

658. - None at all. - Me? I'm already married.

659. Listen to this. (CHUCKLES)

660. "And against all odds, the success

661. of The Super Geniuses of the Square Table continues."

662. Well, not against all odds, only against mine.

663. (CHUCKLES) All right. Well, all right,

664. so, the owners of the TV station

665. had a chat with me, and they believe

666. it's an opportunity to give the competition a good beating.

667. A beating?

668. But... it's comedy, not boxing.

669. (CHUCKLES) Well, that's why, man!

670. (CHUCKLES) They want you to use your jokes.

671. To make fun of the artists on the other side.

672. Meaning Jamaica's folks.

673. (GROANS) I don't know.

674. I just don't like that idea.

675. (CHUCKLES) Look, I'm not asking you if you like it or not.

676. I'm telling you what you have to do.

677. And don't go trying to wipe your genius ass

678. with my orders, Roberto.

679. Hmm?

680. Congratulations. (CHUCKLES)

681. The following letter reads as follows,

682. "Is it true that when Raul Astor performs,

683. people are left with their mouths open?"

684. Yes, but yawning.

685. I don't understand these jokes. Why don't we just play?

686. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV) - Yeah, me neither.

687. - Let's go play. Hey, girls...

688. Wait for me. I'm coming too.

689. Brush your teeth, please.

690. Yes, mom. Okay.

691. Doctor. - It's not that bad.

692. Why did the bird go to the hospital?

693. (AS DR. CHAPATÍN) Because the poor little bird

694. - needed tweetment! - (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

695. - (ROBERTO SIGHS) That's correct!

696. (READING PROMPT)

697. Good evening, sir.

698. What a pleasure to have you here.

699. Are they expecting you?

700. - Apparently, yes. - Welcome, sir.

702. (WHISPERS) What on earth were you thinking?

703. Come on, have a seat.

704. (CHUCKLES) This is insanity.

705. What, what's insanity?

706. Being here in Acapulco, all thanks to the boss.

707. Right?

715. - I resigned. - What?

716. I don't like the direction

717. The Super Geniuses of the Round Table is taking.

718. I don't understand you.

719. I don't understand your priorities.

720. I don't wanna make fun of other people.

721. Who's the mockery for?

722. I don't wanna make comedy

723. that my family doesn't understand.

724. And I don't wanna make comedy that goes out of style!

725. Well, don't do it then.

726. But you don't have to resign again.

727. Yeah! Yeah, I do. They left me no choice.

728. You know why? 'Cause I refuse to compromise my values

729. and ignore what I stand for.

730. And... what about us?
