LOMAS CLUB

ONE MONTH EARLIER

Good morning.

-These, right? -Mom, which perfume should I wear?

-Can I use one of yours? -Whatever you want. Yes, my dear.

But only a little.

The other dress looked better.

Yes, thank you, my love. And the white button up?

Uh… I changed. I wanted something different.

-Does it look bad? -You look handsome.

-Yeah? You sure? -Come on. Let's go, honey, come on.

I think we invited too many people.

-You'll be fine. It'll be a great time. -Mm.

-Look at you. -Oh, my boy, you look so good.

So put together and handsome.

Wow! I can't believe we're actually related.

Don't say that!

We look exactly alike.

Hey.

Thank you. It means a lot to me.

-We're a team. - A team.

A team.

Thanks. Thank you!

-How are you not totally embarrassed? -I am embarrassed.

Thanks, guys! Thanks!

It's so good to see all your lovely faces.

Thank you for being here.

Today we celebrate 20 years of marriage.

And in these years, we've created memories that are irreplaceable.

And more importantly, our beautiful children.

But we've had hard moments too.

As any couple does.

Because love… isn't perfect.

Or meant to be easy.

But true love is when you, uh, decide to stay,

and choose each other again and again.

-Thank you, my love, for our journey. -

And for always fighting for us.

So once again, I choose you,

to create more memories for the rest of our days. Thank you.

- Bravo! - Long live love!

Woo!

-I love you. -I love you.

Cheers!

Where's your mom?

-Over there. -Ah.

- Lucero, my dearest friend. -Maybe I'll go next time.

Congratulations!

You look amazing.

You two are the only hope for true love in this world.

No, seriously, you look radiant.

-Oh man, you look terrible. What happened? -

-Yeah, right. -

Hard times we are living through, right?

-Yeah, sure. -Mm.

Could we do this another time? Just please, not here.

Lucero, I'm the District Attorney of Mexico City.

-I need you to help me. -I will.

-Okay. -But… but not right now.

We'll talk tomorrow at your house.

Yeah, right. My house?

Malena kicked me out of the house.

Get it? I'm living in a damn hotel. I haven't slept in three days.

-I need you to help me. -Yes, I'll help you. I already said.

-Hey, congratulations, Fernando. -Thanks, what's up?

-How are you? -Good, good.

Give me a champagne and a whiskey, please.

-So what is it? -Mm?

Alma.

What's the secret to everlasting love?

No secret.

Just patience.

Understanding that… there are things you don't argue about more than once.

Um…

And always being there when she needs me.

Helping her through anything that life may throw at her.

Doing everything I can to make her dreams come true.

No matter what that could mean for me.

Where can I find a man like you?

I had a wonderful time.

I'm so glad.

This is getting harder and harder for me.

What do you mean? You're a natural.

I'm only pretending.

Well, you're very good at it.

I've had a great teacher.

Alma looked so beautiful, didn't she?

So beautiful.

She's been acting very mysterious lately.

It's almost like she has a secret.

See couldn't keep her eyes off you all afternoon.

She's into you.

She's just like that.

Oh yeah? Do you like Alma?

You don't have to lie.

I like you.

Yes, but…

do you like her?

Should we invite her over?

Don't tell me you've never thought about it.

I think it's you who's been thinking about it.

Am I wrong?

Huh?

What I really want is you.

But, I just… How long has it been since you and I…?

You don't think I know?

But do you really want to talk about that right now?

Well, then tell me when.

Am I supposed to schedule an appointment with you?

Okay, perfect.

Let's talk.

Are you…? Are you proposing seeing someone else?

Seriously, is that what you want?

You're right. We've had a big day.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Mom, don't forget that I have the timed trials tomorrow.

-Okay? -Okay.

No, thank you. Give me a second.

-Uh, babe? - Mm?

Could you refill my drops, please? I won't have time to go to the pharmacy.

-Sorry, Javi. -I added a little more water.

I won't have time to drink it. Can you put it in the fridge?

-Javi, I don't want to get into it-- -I have to go.

No, no, they're not.

-Leaving? -Yeah.

-We were gonna talk about… -We will.

I'm going to the club, I have suppliers waiting. Sorry.

Kids, I'm leaving too. See you later, okay?

-Mom, hey, pick me up from swimming today. -Yup.

Bye.

I'll be waiting at the hotel bar. The entrance is a bit hidden.

It's a very private place. Ask at reception.

See you there.

- …it's the exact same size. - Including my five dogs?

Five Dogs? That wasn't in the… in the reservation. Hold on.

- Excuse me, ma'am. -I understand.

Ma'am?

-Excuse me. Where is the bar? -Sorry, I'll be with you in a moment.

My kids are crying right now because this hotel doesn't accept pets…

- Excuse me, where is the bar? - Straight down the hall.

Oh! Hi.

Sorry, I got lost. I'm trying to find the bar.

Ah, yes. Go all the way down the hall and it's on the left.

Ah! Great. Thank you.

["Quiero Amanecer Con Alguien" by Daniela Romo playing in bar]

Hey.

Sorry.

What a weird place. This was so hard to find.

Oh.

-Yeah. -How are you?

-You don't look much better. -No? You don't say.

-Two more, please. -One.

-Oh, come on. -No.

Is this where you brought her?

-God, I can't believe you, you asshole. -Oh, yeah?

And you've been married how many years now?

-Twenty. -Twenty.

And you're going to tell me that you've had good sex for 20 years? Hm?

-Yes. -Yes?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, Lucero.

There's gotta be more.

You can't possibly spend your whole life going from home to work, work to home,

and Sundays with the in-laws.

You gotta live here in the moment. Romance, passion, and sex.

- -All things a man needs.

Oh, no. Please don't give me that, because women need it too.

Exactly! Men and women…

…want their needs met. I just happened to get caught.

It was a miscalculation.

Miscalculation?

-What's with you? -Hmm?

Who are you looking at?

No one, it's just…

I'm just constantly scared of them following me now.

Just take a deep breath.

It's okay. It's alright.

It's going to be fine.

Oh, Lucero, they're going to take the girls.

I'm going to help you. Really. We'll get through this.
