Copy !req
10. - Just like we rehearsed.
- Okay.
Copy !req
11. We'll be here with the plants
and the pots.
Copy !req
12. Mr. Barriga comes in,
and we do the watering can bit.
Copy !req
13. Mr. Ramón comes in,
you know when.
Copy !req
14. Then, Mrs. Florinda comes in
and we're done. Okay?
Copy !req
15. Everyone, we're using water.
Copy !req
16. We have to do this
in just one take.
Copy !req

Copy !req
39. Luis, I need you to be honest.
Copy !req
40. Who do we have here
with such potential?
Copy !req
41. Like him?
Copy !req
42. No one.
Copy !req
43. No one?
Copy !req
44. Why the fuck don't we have
something like that in Channel Alpha?
Copy !req
45. Why does that joke of a channel
has more viewers than us?
Copy !req
46. Well, around here they don't have
the creative freedom they have there.
Copy !req
47. Creative freedom?
Copy !req
48. What kind of bullshit is that?
Copy !req
49. Ernesto, this is a reality.
Copy !req
50. - If you gave me a chance...
- A chance.
Copy !req
51. You work for Latin America's
most important TV network.
Copy !req
52. - We're the biggest!
- But not the best.
Copy !req
53. - I don't like to hear that.
- And I don't like saying that.
Copy !req
54. But it is what it is.
Copy !req
55. I want the best.
Copy !req
56. If you can't create talent,
Copy !req
57. bring it here, for fuck's sake!
Copy !req
58. I want Chespirito on my channel!
Copy !req
59. Good.
Copy !req
60. Okay.
Copy !req
61. NOT REALLY ON PURPOSE
Copy !req
62. Action!
Copy !req
63. What do you think, Chavito?
Copy !req
64. This is Acapulco!
Copy !req
65. It's amazing!
Copy !req
66. I'm glad you liked it.
Copy !req
67. Hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
68. What's the matter, Chavo?
Copy !req
69. He's stealing your suitcase!
Copy !req
70. No, Chavo!
Copy !req
71. This man works here.
Copy !req
72. He's just helping us
with our luggage.
Copy !req
73. Mine too!
Copy !req
74. Cut!
Copy !req
75. Come on!
Copy !req
76. Sorry, we're stopping traffic.
Copy !req
77. It's too loud, Roberto.
Copy !req
78. Take one on one!
Copy !req
79. Ready!
Copy !req
80. Listen, listen.
Copy !req
81. We don't have all this noise
on set all the time.
Copy !req
82. It's okay.
Copy !req
83. It's just nature's whim.
Copy !req
84. Come on.
Copy !req
85. Coming here was a bad idea.
Copy !req
86. Look at all the mess we're making.
Copy !req
87. Come on, Roberto!
Copy !req
88. These episodes are unique!
Copy !req
89. They're a fundamental part
of your show.
Copy !req
90. Don't forget that.
Copy !req
91. I hope so, chubby.
Copy !req
92. I hope so.
Copy !req
93. But there's one thing.
Copy !req
94. After this trip,
nothing will be the same.
Copy !req
95. All the situations, the things,
the groups and the families...
Copy !req
96. This will be a before and after moment
for all of us.
Copy !req
97. That future doesn't sound
very encouraging.
Copy !req
98. Relax.
Copy !req
99. - Just be funny. Cheer.
- Okay.
Copy !req
100. - Let's do it from the start.
- Good.
Copy !req

104. Good morning, Sir.
Copy !req
105. Where's Luis de Llano?
Copy !req
106. I've been looking for him
for over an hour and he's not here!
Copy !req
107. And he won't be, Sir.
Copy !req
108. Luis left the company.
Copy !req
109. - What?
- Just like that, Sir.
Copy !req
110. I can't go on like this!
Copy !req
111. The only thing I can't tolerate
Copy !req
112. is the lack of loyalty, Jamaica!
Copy !req
113. If I may, Sir,
Copy !req
114. I have already told you this before.
Copy !req
115. I've been working at this company
for many years now.
Copy !req
116. I've been completely loyal to you.
Copy !req
117. I'm here for you.
Copy !req
118. Okay, but you'll get screwed.
There's a lot to do.
Copy !req
119. I can't believe this asshole left us!
Copy !req
120. There's more, Sir.
Copy !req
121. What?
Copy !req
122. Luis is working for our competitors.
Copy !req
123. Channel Eight.
Copy !req
124. This means war.
Copy !req
125. A dirty war!
Copy !req
126. Listen to me.
Copy !req
127. I want Chespirito with us right now!
Copy !req
128. Walk towards the jar.
Copy !req
129. Stand there.
Copy !req
130. No, no. This isn't working.
Copy !req
131. Let's see.
Copy !req
132. Cut, cut, cut!
Copy !req
133. Cut!
Copy !req
134. We'll take a break.
Copy !req
135. I'm sorry, Roberto! I'm sorry!
Copy !req
136. - This isn't working.
- What happened?
Copy !req
137. The chroma keeps looking bad.
Copy !req
138. We need to bring Mariano Casasola!
Copy !req
139. He could solve this in two minutes!
Copy !req
140. He will be a great support
for your talents.
Copy !req
141. Bring him in, then.
Copy !req
142. Boy!
Copy !req
143. Bernardo.
Copy !req
144. - Joaquín, Sir.
- Roberto.
Copy !req
145. If the network's owner is here,
this is either very good or very bad.
Copy !req
146. It's actually very good.
Copy !req
147. I want you to meet
Luis de Llano Palmer.
Copy !req
148. From now on,
he'll be working with Joaquín.
Copy !req
149. Luis is our new Head of Production.
Copy !req
150. Mister Luis. I've heard a lot about you.
Copy !req
151. Good stuff only.
Copy !req
152. Me too, Roberto.
Copy !req
153. You are
one of the main reasons I'm here.
Copy !req
154. - Your talent has convinced me.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
155. We're going to grow, Roberto.
Copy !req
156. We're powerful. But with you,
we're unbeatable.
Copy !req
157. Can we solve
that Mariano Casasola thing?
Copy !req
158. Totally.
Copy !req
159. Casasola has been wanting to join this
ever since they borrowed his set.
Copy !req
160. Okay, we'll let you work.
Copy !req
161. Okay, thank you.
Copy !req
162. - Nice to meet you.
- You too.
Copy !req
163. Thank you.
Copy !req
164. - Have a nice day.
- Have a nice day.
Copy !req
165. Have a nice day, everyone.
Copy !req
166. I know, Dad. It's risky.
Copy !req
167. But it's a risk I've got to take.
Copy !req
168. It's not just a risk.
Copy !req
169. It's a very dangerous game.
Copy !req
170. Trust me, I know.
Copy !req
171. Don't be stubborn, then.
Copy !req
172. Try to reach an agreement.
Copy !req
173. Bernardo Montemayor
is a smart, powerful businessman.
Copy !req
174. If you play dirty, he'll fight back.
Copy !req
175. He's playing dirty!
Copy !req
176. And it's time to know who's the smartest
Copy !req
177. and who's more powerful!

Copy !req
186. This show is out.
Copy !req
187. I couldn't agree more, Sir.
Copy !req
188. There are better things than that.
Copy !req
189. No more Chespirito.
Copy !req
190. Can you get him?
Copy !req
191. Tell him to come here.
Copy !req
192. Gladly, Sir.
Copy !req
193. This will never end!
Copy !req
194. If you say so, Chapulin.
Copy !req
195. - But I'm still really dismayed.
- "Dis" what?
Copy !req
196. - Mayed.
- Golly!
Copy !req
197. Quiet, quiet!
Copy !req
198. My vinyl antennae are feeling
our enemy's presence.
Copy !req
199. Golly!
Copy !req
200. Stop wasting your time.
Copy !req
201. Excuse me?
Copy !req
202. - Your show is over.
- What?
Copy !req
203. - It's over.
- Jesus!
Copy !req
204. No more "Chespirito."
Copy !req
205. - Who told you that?
- Your new boss, Luis de Llano.
Copy !req
206. He just told me
he wants to talk to you now.
Copy !req
207. Boy...
Copy !req
208. Should we believe this, Chespiro?
Copy !req
209. - Is that possible, Roberto?
- It is possible, and a fact.
Copy !req
210. Sorry for interrupting.
You may continue.
Copy !req
211. Actually, why would you?
Copy !req
212. - I can't believe this.
- Me neither.
Copy !req
213. This man is talking nonsense.
Copy !req
214. FAMILIES
Copy !req
215. Of course!
Copy !req
216. I knew this was too good to be true!
Copy !req
217. Did they send you to our own house
to destroy our own work?
Copy !req
218. You might have studied and worked
a lot with the Yanks,
Copy !req
219. but you don't know nothing
about Mexican TV!
Copy !req
220. Allow me to tell you you're dumb!
Copy !req
221. Now I know why they fired you
from Channel Alfa!
Copy !req
222. - Are you done now?
- No, I'm not!
Copy !req
223. Please, explain! Give me
one good reason to end "Chespirito!"
Copy !req
224. I'll give you two good reasons.
Copy !req
225. One is "El Chavo del Ocho."
Copy !req
226. The other one is
"The Chapulin Colorado."
Copy !req
227. Starting next month,
you will have two TV shows.
Copy !req
228. One for "El Chavo del Ocho"
and one for "The Chapulin Colorado."
Copy !req
229. Mondays and Wednesdays.
Copy !req
230. No. No, it's three actually.
Copy !req
231. Fridays will end
Copy !req
232. with "Citizen
Copy !req
233. Gómez."
Copy !req
234. You'll have three shows a week
just for you.
Copy !req
235. Luis...
Copy !req
236. What an idiot!
Copy !req
237. Not you! I...
Copy !req
238. I mean... Well, it's an expression.
Copy !req
239. You're a genius.
Copy !req
240. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
241. - Is Chespirito coming or what?
- Almost, Sir. Almost.
Copy !req
242. I'm almost losing my patience.
Copy !req
243. You're almost unemployed.
Copy !req
244. "Almost" means nothing in here!
Copy !req
245. I want all good talent at my company!
Copy !req
246. - Do you understand?
- Yes.
Copy !req
247. I want Chespirito in my office
this week.
Copy !req
248. If you can't do that, let me know.
Copy !req
249. You made it, honey! Can you see?
Copy !req
250. - I can't believe it!
- Me neither
Copy !req
251. Really,
I would have never thought of this!
Copy !req
252. Luis de Llano is amazing!
Copy !req
253. Yes.
Copy !req
254. And you know where's the difference?
Copy !req
255. I feel loved, honey.
Copy !req
256. For the first time, I feel loved.
Copy !req
257. But you are lovely.
Copy !req
258. Hey,
Copy !req
259. wasn't Luis de Llano
the one from Channel Alfa?
Copy !req
260. Yes.
Copy !req
261. So Figueras fired him, or what?
Copy !req
262. No, he wanted to work
at Channel Eight.
Copy !req
263. I can't imagine how they feel
at Channel Alfa.
Copy !req
264. Figueras must have felt that as treason.
Copy !req
265. Treason? I don't know.
Copy !req
266. All I know is the fight is tough,
everyone can see that.
Copy !req
267. - Who could that be?
- I'll go.
Copy !req
268. Even Bernardo said my show
is making them more powerful.
Copy !req
269. - Yes?
- Mister Bolaños?
Copy !req
270. I need you to listen to me.
Copy !req
271. Thank you.
Copy !req
272. Who was that?
Copy !req
273. Honey, I have to go.
Copy !req
274. - Where? This late?
- Yes.
Copy !req
275. - I have to take care of something.
- But...
Copy !req
276. - Who was that, honey?
- I'll tell you later.
Copy !req
277. Right now, I need to know something.
Copy !req
278. - Hi.
- Good evening.
Copy !req
279. - Roberto Gómez Bolaños? Thank you.
- They're waiting for you.
Copy !req
280. Follow me, mister Bolaños.
Copy !req
281. Right this way, please.
Copy !req
282. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
283. Roberto, welcome.
Copy !req
284. Have a seat.
Copy !req
285. I don't think this is a good idea.
Copy !req
286. What is not a good idea?
Copy !req
287. To come to hell
and have dinner with the devil.
Copy !req
288. Fucking Chespiro, always overreacting.
Copy !req
289. Okay.
Copy !req
290. Just share one glass of champagne
with this devil.
Copy !req
291. If my offer doesn't convince you,
you can return to your heavenly angels.
Copy !req
292. I should be in bed already.
Couldn't you do this on the phone?
Copy !req
293. Roberto, as you can imagine,
I'm not here because I want to.
Copy !req
294. But I have something
very important to tell you.
Copy !req
295. Mister Figueras wants you with him,
and won't take "no" for an answer.
Copy !req
296. Jamaica,
Copy !req
297. first, let me tell you I don't trust
people with flower names.
Copy !req
298. Second, you know I have a contract
and I'm going to say no to you.
Copy !req
299. If I were you,
Copy !req
300. I wouldn't let this chance go.
Copy !req
301. But you're not me.
Copy !req
302. I know you won't do this.
Copy !req
303. Like I told the boss,
Copy !req
304. you're what I call "a four S person."
Copy !req
305. "A four S person?"
Copy !req
306. Sensible,
Copy !req
307. sensitive,
Copy !req
308. smooth and certain.
Copy !req
309. Certain goes with a "C."
Copy !req
310. It doesn't matter.
What you have to understand
Copy !req
311. is that huge opportunities like these
don't come as often as you think.
Copy !req
312. You don't say "no" to an opportunity.
Copy !req
313. Well, you can't say "no"
to mister Figueras.
Copy !req
314. Have some cheese.
Copy !req
315. Hello?
Copy !req
316. Graciela, I'm sorry. It's Ana.
Copy !req
317. What's the matter, Anita?
How are you?
Copy !req
318. Terrible.
Copy !req
319. Worst than ever.
Copy !req
320. Your brother-in-law is not here yet.
Copy !req
321. These Gómez...
Copy !req
322. Graciela...
Copy !req
323. I think Paco won't come back.
Copy !req
324. Graciela, I think Paco left me!
Copy !req
325. But why do you say that?
Copy !req
326. - You won't believe who I...
- Look.
Copy !req
327. This isn't a conversation
we can have over the phone.
Copy !req
328. Let's talk tomorrow, please.
Copy !req
329. Relax.
Copy !req
330. There must be a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
331. - Okay. Thank you.
- It's okay.
Copy !req
332. What happened?
Copy !req
333. Do you know anything
about your brother and Anita?
Copy !req
334. Jesus! You caught me empty-handed.
Copy !req
335. I thought they had called you, too!
Copy !req
336. You don't imagine where I was!
I was with Pepe Jamaica!
Copy !req
337. Is your brother having an affair?
Copy !req
338. CHANNEL ALFA
Copy !req
339. - Hi.
- Good afternoon.
Copy !req
340. - I'm here to see mister Figueras.
- Of course. One moment, please.
Copy !req
341. Hello, mister Jamaica?
Copy !req
342. Mister Gómez Bolaños is here
to meet mister Figueras.
Copy !req
343. Of course.
Copy !req
344. Thank you.
Copy !req
345. Toni.
Copy !req
346. Just please don't ask me
how I found out.
Copy !req
347. Guess who Roberto is meeting today.
Copy !req
348. Who?
Copy !req
349. Figueras.
Copy !req
350. Figueras?
Copy !req
351. - Who told you that?
- I told you not to ask!
Copy !req
352. That's weird, right?
Copy !req
353. Really weird.
Copy !req
354. Why didn't he tell us?
Copy !req
355. I don't know. Maybe he's planning
to move over there.
Copy !req
356. - Hello.
- Angelines.
Copy !req
357. It's likely.
Copy !req
358. Damn Chespirito!
Copy !req
359. Boy! What happened?
Copy !req
360. - It's Roberto.
- What about him?
Copy !req
361. He's moving to the competition.
He's leaving us.
Copy !req
362. I'm sure that where you are,
they don't give you enough recognition.
Copy !req
363. I have the virtue
of knowing when I see talent.
Copy !req
364. That's good.
Copy !req
365. And I put a price on that talent.
Copy !req
366. That's even better.
Copy !req
367. Roberto, I know
how much you they pay you.
Copy !req
368. I can't tell you
it isn't precisely fair.
Copy !req
369. But I can do what I want.
Copy !req
370. That's priceless.
Copy !req
371. Okay.
Copy !req
372. But what if they let you do
whatever you want
Copy !req
373. and pay you three times
what you're making now?
Copy !req
374. Plus a 300000 bonus
for signing the contract.
Copy !req
375. Three hundred thousand
just for signing.
Copy !req
376. Just one small detail.
Copy !req
377. You have to do it now.
Copy !req
378. He's leaving us.
He'll go to Channel Alfa and leave us.
Copy !req
379. And he hasn't even warned us.
Copy !req
380. I don't think so.
Copy !req
381. He would have told us
if he were thinking of leaving.
Copy !req
382. Then, Maggie, why did he go
to meet Figueras?
Copy !req
383. He didn't tell us anything!
Copy !req
384. That guy is going to betray us.
Copy !req
385. No!
Copy !req
386. I hope you're right, Margarita.
Copy !req
387. I really do.
Copy !req
388. I went to Figuera's office.
Copy !req
389. He keeps insisting.
Copy !req
390. Roberto, those are great news!
Copy !req
391. I don't know.
Copy !req
392. I don't really know Figueras.
Copy !req
393. I heard a lot about his father
on the radio,
Copy !req
394. but him? They say...
Copy !req
395. I don't know, you tell me.
Copy !req
396. Ernesto Figueras?
Copy !req
397. Well, yes, he's...
Copy !req
398. He's a tiger.
Copy !req
399. But you're used to dealing
with that kind of people.
Copy !req
400. And here you can do much more
than over there.
Copy !req
401. I don't want to do more.
Copy !req
402. I want to do it better.
Copy !req
403. Look, if they're calling you,
you can name your conditions.
Copy !req
404. Think of all the money you can ask!
Copy !req
405. That's not what I care about.
Copy !req
406. And you'll get to work with me again.
You can't overlook that!
Copy !req
407. You convinced me.
I'm staying on Channel Eight.
Copy !req
408. Listen, you once told me
Copy !req
409. that if I ever got the chance,
Copy !req
410. I had to take it.
Copy !req
411. Now I'm telling you.
Copy !req
412. You have the right to take
your next step, man.
Copy !req
413. How many times have I told you
not to pay attention to my advice?
Copy !req
414. Honey!
Copy !req
415. Honey, I'm home!
Copy !req
416. How are you, Graciela?
Copy !req
417. Hold on.
Copy !req
418. - Hey.
- I want him out of here.
Copy !req
419. What?
Copy !req
420. Your brother.
I want him out of my house.
Copy !req
421. - He's cheating, he can't be in here.
- How do you know that?
Copy !req
422. - Isn't he?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
423. You don't have any proof.
Copy !req
424. You're just assuming things.
Copy !req
425. Look, I don't care.
We can't betray Ana.
Copy !req
426. What he did was wrong!
Copy !req
427. - I don't care, he's my brother!
- It's my house!
Copy !req
428. - And should I kick him out over gossip?
- I won't allow cheating in this house!
Copy !req
429. You don't have any proof, honey!
Copy !req
430. Let's rehearse.
Copy !req
431. The girl in the bikini
comes walking over here.
Copy !req
432. She goes towards that bench
over there. Let's go.
Copy !req
433. You come walking
Copy !req
434. and you stare at her,
looking like an idiot.
Copy !req
435. Wait! Hold on, champion!
Copy !req
436. - You keep walking backwards.
- Yes.
Copy !req
437. You don't look at Mrs. Florinda.
Copy !req
438. And you start talking nonsense
while you walk.
Copy !req
439. Until you hit the chair.
Copy !req
440. - Yes.
- And you hold your reaction.
Copy !req
441. First, you're scared, and then...
Copy !req
442. - Jirafales!
- Alright.
Copy !req
443. Idiot! Why don't you pay...?
Copy !req
444. Professor Jirafales!
Copy !req
445. Miss Bikini! I mean, Mrs. Florinda!
Copy !req
446. What a miracle
to see you around here!
Copy !req
447. I just came to bring you
this little bikini.
Copy !req
448. I mean, this little flower bouquet.
Copy !req
449. And that's it. Then, we'll replace
the cameras. Okay?
Copy !req
450. - Yes.
- Alright.
Copy !req
451. You listen to me, or I'll go
with the girl on the bikini.
Copy !req
452. - I don't think so.
- Just look
Copy !req
453. at this beautiful professor's face.
Copy !req
454. You're cheating on me
before I say yes.
Copy !req
455. Only on my thoughts, Margarita.
Copy !req
456. Yes.
Copy !req
457. Okay, come here.
You're hurting my lady, man.
Copy !req
458. - Yes, sir.
- You'd end like a bumper sticker.
Copy !req
459. Yes. Please,
help this poor helpless lady.
Copy !req
460. Gladly!
Copy !req
461. You're very kind.
Copy !req
462. Is that Juan Osorio?
Copy !req
463. Yes, he's also shooting here.
Copy !req
464. Juanito!
Copy !req
465. What's the matter?
Copy !req
466. I think you should be more careful,
Margarita.
Copy !req
467. Why? I'm not doing anything.
Copy !req
468. - Come on.
- Carmen!
Copy !req
469. Come on, let's do this before sunset!
Let's do a camera rehearsal!
Copy !req
470. I'm ready for whatever you need, Sir!
Copy !req
471. - Script?
- Script, yes.
Copy !req
472. - Ready.
- Okay. Good.
Copy !req
473. We start with cameras one and two.
Copy !req
474. - That's right.
- Good.
Copy !req
475. Angie, darling!
Copy !req
476. - Give me a cigarette.
- Of course.
Copy !req
477. Are you ready
for your scene by the pool?
Copy !req
478. Look... You're doing it wrong!
Copy !req
479. You never learn!
Copy !req
480. I'm worried about the water.
Copy !req
481. So...
Copy !req
482. I'm gathering up courage.
Copy !req
483. We'll find a solution.
Copy !req
484. Don't worry.
Copy !req
485. You don't have to get into the pool
if you don't want to.
Copy !req
486. - Really?
- Of course!
Copy !req
487. I understand if you're afraid
and don't know how to swim.
Copy !req
488. It's okay.
Copy !req
489. Margarita can be your stunt,
if you're okay with it.
Copy !req
490. Thank you, I'm okay with it.
Copy !req
491. Look...
Copy !req
492. Speaking of fears,
Copy !req
493. there's one I have to face
once and for all.
Copy !req
494. - Excuse me. Thank you.
- You too.
Copy !req
495. Full speed.
Copy !req
496. - It's a...
- Marcos!
Copy !req
497. - Imagine...
- Marcos!
Copy !req
498. - What's the matter?
- I've seen you with your friends.
Copy !req
499. And, unless I'm too distracted,
Copy !req
500. they don't belong to the staff.
Copy !req
501. At least not our staff. Right?
Copy !req
502. Why don't you introduce me?
Copy !req
503. I don't owe you any explanation, man.
Copy !req
504. They're offering me
to make a TV show in Venezuela.
Copy !req
505. And I can leave whenever I want to,
just because I can.
Copy !req
506. What do you think?
Copy !req
507. It's just that here you have a contract.
Copy !req
508. Maybe.
Copy !req
509. But you're not the one paying me.
Copy !req
510. You're not my boss.
Copy !req
511. So don't try to intimidate me.
Copy !req
512. I'm not scared of you.
Copy !req
513. Well, I have nothing to do around here.
Copy !req
514. So, excuse me.
Copy !req
515. Hey,
Copy !req
516. and what other characters
do you have in mind?
Copy !req
517. Because the puffy cheeks aren't enough.
Copy !req
518. You need good dialogues.
Copy !req
519. And I know for sure you're not a writer.
Copy !req
520. But anyway,
Copy !req
521. I guess these gentlemen will help you
to find the answer, right?
Copy !req
522. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
523. - Excuse me. See you tomorrow.
- It's a pleasure.
Copy !req
524. 1972
MEXICO CITY
Copy !req
525. We'll just have to wait a second.
Copy !req
526. The recording will be delayed
for a few hours.
Copy !req
527. - Is there a problem?
- No.
Copy !req
528. It's just that Roberto had
a last minute urgent appointment.
Copy !req
529. Ernesto, thanks for having me.
Copy !req
530. It's always a pleasure, Roberto.
Copy !req
531. I've been thinking about this, and...
Copy !req
532. I made a decision.
Copy !req
533. Horacio, just tell us the reason
of that appointment.
Copy !req
534. Exactly, where did he go?
Copy !req
535. I'm telling you I don't know!
Copy !req
536. That's hard to believe.
Copy !req
537. All he said was that it was
very important to him.
Copy !req
538. And for you, too.
Copy !req
539. I'm taking your offer.
Copy !req
540. - It's a great decision.
- But I have two conditions.
Copy !req
541. Is he really making a deal with them?
Copy !req
542. Them? Really them?
Copy !req
543. Our competitors, Ramón.
Copy !req
544. Our competitors.
Copy !req
545. The first condition is
Copy !req
546. that you wait until my contract
with Channel Eight ends.
Copy !req
547. We're starting with the wrong foot.
I need you now.
Copy !req
548. I won't leave them like that.
That's it.
Copy !req
549. Okay, you tell me.
Copy !req
550. What would you do if you had
a very tempting opportunity?
Copy !req
551. Would you go or would you stay
where you first started?
Copy !req
552. I'm going to be really transparent
with Channel Eight.
Copy !req
553. This won't be a surprise for them.
Copy !req
554. I owe them what I am now.
Copy !req
555. I think it's difficult to find a place
to do something as good as this.
Copy !req
556. Besides, to do something as good,
Copy !req
557. we need a writer as good as Roberto.
Copy !req
558. The second condition
is that you hire me
Copy !req
559. and all my cast.
Copy !req
560. What if I just want you?
Copy !req
561. No, that's impossible.
Copy !req
562. I would never leave this group.
Copy !req
563. If I'm taking this opportunity,
it's not just because of me.
Copy !req
564. It's for them, too.
Copy !req
565. You're making this easy, Roberto.
Copy !req
566. We want the whole deal.
Copy !req
567. There's something I appreciate
more than talent.
Copy !req
568. You, Roberto,
Copy !req
569. have shown a high sense of loyalty.
Copy !req
570. We have a deal.
Copy !req
571. Yes, Ernesto.
Copy !req
572. We have a deal.
Copy !req
573. Bernardo, I have a good move for you.
Copy !req
574. That's him.
Copy !req
575. He's the best contest show host
in Channel Alfa.
Copy !req
576. Everyone loves him.
Copy !req
577. Luis Manuel Pelayo.
Copy !req
578. Bring him over. This is a great blow.
Copy !req
579. Sir, they took someone else.
Copy !req
580. - Again?
- Yes. They took Pelayo.
Copy !req
581. To Channel Eight.
Copy !req
582. It's time to take drastic measures.
Copy !req
583. - Hello?
- Good evening.
Copy !req
584. May I talk to Roberto, please?
Copy !req
585. One moment.
Copy !req
586. You have a phone call.
Copy !req
587. What?
Copy !req
588. - Hello?
- Roberto.
Copy !req
589. I want you to know mister Figueras
has changed his mind.
Copy !req
590. You have to leave Channel Eight
right away.
Copy !req
591. Jamaica, Figueras knows
I have a contract.
Copy !req
592. I won't break my contract.
Copy !req
593. My duty is to tell you
this could be the end of your career.
Copy !req
594. It's now or the deal is over.
Copy !req
595. I won't do it, then.
Copy !req
596. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Copy !req
597. Get some sleep, Pepe.
Copy !req
598. Roberto, I don't...
Copy !req
599. What happened?
Copy !req
600. I couldn't give you more details.
Copy !req
601. But yes, it was a good offer.
Copy !req
602. So tempting, I had to take it.
Copy !req
603. It was a great opportunity
for all of us.
Copy !req
604. But then, something happened.
Copy !req
605. They changed the conditions,
so I had to say no.
Copy !req
606. - What?
- Really?
Copy !req
607. Why did you say no?
Copy !req
608. They didn't agree to my terms.
Copy !req
609. The thing is not why you said no.
Copy !req
610. Why didn't you tell us before?
Copy !req
611. Yes, Roberto. I think we deserve
another kind of explanation.
Copy !req
612. I agree.
Copy !req
613. - The thing is that I was contacted...
- Roberto, we need to talk.
Copy !req
614. Come, please.
Copy !req
615. We'll talk later.
Copy !req
616. Hey, chubby-cheeked.
Copy !req
617. - Good afternoon, Roberto.
- Good afternoon.
Copy !req
618. Sure. I would say very good for you.
Copy !req
619. I want you to know mister Figueras
has reconsidered
Copy !req
620. and will wait until you finish
your contract with Channel Eight.
Copy !req
621. Thanks, but tell Ernesto
he will have to wait longer, now.
Copy !req
622. Sixty more weeks, to be precise.
Copy !req
623. - Excuse me?
- Yes.
Copy !req
624. I have just signed my contract renewal.
Copy !req
625. Thanks, Jamaica.
Copy !req
626. Thanks for your trust, mister Bernardo.
Copy !req
627. SIGNATURE
ROBERTO GÓMEZ BOLAÑOS
Copy !req
628. You know this is nonsense, right?
Copy !req
629. It's okay, Marcos.
Copy !req
630. It's just that this is more complicated
that we thought.
Copy !req
631. It's not complicated!
Copy !req
632. You promised me
there wouldn't be any problems!
Copy !req
633. And there are none!
Copy !req
634. You really think we want
to get into this mess?
Copy !req
635. Actually, after meeting Roberto,
Copy !req
636. we don't think this is the best time
to make plans.
Copy !req
637. So you're leaving just like that?
Copy !req
638. No.
Copy !req
639. We'll wait until we have
a window of opportunity.
Copy !req
640. You know what?
Copy !req
641. You can go, if you want to!
Copy !req
642. I think you're too stupid!
Copy !req
643. Stupid fucks!
Copy !req
644. Where are the actors?
I need them on set!
Copy !req
645. Here they come, Sir.
Copy !req
646. We're running out of time! Come on!
Copy !req
647. - Camera rehearsal.
- Yes, Sir. Ready.
Copy !req
648. This is too tense,
the air is too thick.
Copy !req
649. - Good morning.
- Hi.
Copy !req
650. And damn' chubby-cheeks is upset
Copy !req
651. because his Venezuelan friends left.
Copy !req
652. - Yes, but putting up with Mariano...
- Gentlemen, hold on there.
Copy !req
653. Sure, man.
Copy !req
654. He's too tense,
watching his wife's back.
Copy !req
655. I don't understand what everyone sees
in that woman.
Copy !req
656. Yes! And with Graciela
and her family are here!
Copy !req
657. If that old lady left...
Copy !req
658. I'm really close to telling her
to fuck off.
Copy !req
659. And you should. That's the least
she deserves.
Copy !req
660. It's terrible, it's outrageous.
Copy !req
661. - Close the mic.
- She's setting up her orchestra.
Copy !req
662. First, it was a triangle.
Now it's a quartet.
Copy !req
663. She'll do the whole Philharmonic.
Copy !req
664. Toni, the mic is open.
Copy !req
665. Graciela, I'm sorry!
Copy !req
666. I'm sorry you had to listen
to that bullshit!
Copy !req
667. We're sorry. We really love you,
and we never meant to...
Copy !req
668. - Graciela...
- Not now, Toni.
Copy !req
669. Ready, gentlemen!
The sun is setting! Let's roll!
Copy !req
670. I need to ask you something.
Copy !req
671. What, Ñequita?
Copy !req
672. Do you have any special feelings
for Margarita?
Copy !req
673. Something special like what?
I don't understand.
Copy !req
674. Yes, you do.
Copy !req
675. Of course I feel
something special for her.
Copy !req
676. We've had intense moments while touring.
Copy !req
677. We've shared talks.
Copy !req
678. And we understand each other well
when it comes to art.
Copy !req
679. Why did you bring us here?
Copy !req
680. I can't believe I agreed to come!
Copy !req
681. You're here because you're my partner.
Copy !req
682. My confident.
Copy !req
683. The mother of my children.
Copy !req
684. You're my best friend.
Copy !req
685. I'm glad you came.
Copy !req
686. We haven't had
many moments alone.
Copy !req
687. Listen, Maggie...
Copy !req
688. I feel like you spend more time
with Roberto than I do.
Copy !req
689. And I'm sure
you can see things I can't.
Copy !req
690. That's why I wanted to ask you
Copy !req
691. if you notice anything weird.
Copy !req
692. Weird?
Copy !req
693. Yes.
Copy !req
694. He looks different.
Copy !req
695. He doesn't look happy.
Copy !req
696. Or maybe it's just with me.
Copy !req
697. I'm sure he's very happy with you.
Copy !req
698. And how can you be so sure?
Copy !req
699. Because you're a great woman.
Copy !req
700. But for some reason,
Copy !req
701. men prefer younger women.
Copy !req
702. Graciela, you're the one
with a young spirit here.
Copy !req
703. But I don't share the same passion
that you two share.
Copy !req
704. I can't get
into my husband's creative mind.
Copy !req
705. How do you do that?
Copy !req
706. Yesterday, in a multitudinary event,
Copy !req
707. the funeral of Mexican businessman,
Ernesto Figueras Legorreta, took place.
Copy !req
708. He was a visionary,
Copy !req
709. and the founder
of Mexico's largest media company.
Copy !req
710. We, at Channel Alfa
and Mexican Broadcasting,
Copy !req
711. are mourning.
Copy !req
712. Ernesto.
Copy !req
713. I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
714. We'll really miss your father.
Copy !req
715. I know.
Copy !req
716. Thank you, Bernardo.
Copy !req
717. And the President was right
when we talked to him.
Copy !req
718. I'm sure the President's words
can be very persuasive, Sir.
Copy !req
719. And I think it's also time
to end this shit.
Copy !req
720. - I think so, too.
- Now?
Copy !req
721. Right now.
Copy !req
722. Are you saying you believe
in this vampire stuff?
Copy !req
723. It's just a legend, they don't exist.
Copy !req
724. That's what I thought,
Chapulin Colorado.
Copy !req
725. But I saw it with my own eyes!
Copy !req
726. I'll show you you're wrong!
Copy !req
727. Follow me if you're good!
Copy !req
728. Are you hurt?
Copy !req
729. It was on purpose.
Copy !req
730. All my moves are coldly calculated.
Copy !req
731. Good, Chapulin.
Copy !req
732. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
733. - Cut.
- Mister Casasola, I'm glad you're back.
Copy !req
734. Everything works when you're around.
Copy !req
735. Really?
That's the most important thing.
Copy !req
736. Sir, we have a special visit.
Copy !req
737. A special visit?
Copy !req
738. Let's see.
Copy !req
739. Who could it be?
Copy !req
740. Roberto!
Copy !req
741. Ernesto?
Copy !req
742. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
743. This is my home, now.
Copy !req
744. Your home?
Copy !req
745. Since I couldn't have Chespirito,
Copy !req
746. I decided to buy the whole channel.
Copy !req
747. CHANNEL EIGHT
Copy !req
