01x05 - Relative Beauty

[bunniefuu]

There would be room for Jack.

Chesca, everyone knows
that if that happened,

both he and Rose would sink.

No! You know what I think?

I think she didn't
love him enough.

If she had loved him enough,
Jack would still be alive.

Listen, Jack sacrificed himself
so Rose would survive, okay?

Fatso.

What do you think, Rodri?

I haven't seen it.

- You haven't?
- No, I don't want to cry.

And I sure don't want to be
scared of going on a ship.

Whatever, the point
is they would've sunk.

No.

You know what?

What we need is a
female point of view.

I'll go get Vale.

You're off to find your crush
to talk about "Titanic"!

That's so cute!

I even have friends already.

Well, they're my neighbors.

They're kinda strange
but they're good people.

Well, that's great.

I've told you a hundred times
to cancel that subscription!

And speaking of strange things,
I dreamt about zombies again.

Again with that?

Thank God they didn't look
like your mom this time!

That's good.

I don't know. I think
I'm just afraid.

Afraid of being like them,

with no aspirations,
or any motivation.

They're like the
living dead, you know?

Good morning, this is Morales.

Our customers are
always our priority.

The customer is your priority?

I've been waiting 15
days for my order.

- They said it'd take 10 days...
- Hold one minute, please.

Hello? Hello, are you there?

What kind of customer
service is this? Hello?

Now we do upward-facing dog.

This is getting good now.

Now we do downward-facing dog.

What's up, Morales?

What're you doing?

I'm looking for
inspiration for my thesis.

So I could finish it.

To start it.

Don't be negative, Morales.
What are you doing?

Well, I'm here, I'm working.

But I don't think I'll
sell anything today.

Why not?

I don't feel motivated.

Not even the elevator
music helped today.

Are you sad, man?

I think I am.

It's because I haven't
seen "Titanic", right?

Don't be stupid,
man, of course not.

Then, why?

I overheard Vale say that
we're like the living dead.

That we have no
aspirations or anything.

Are you serious?

Yeah, dude. Know what
the worst part is?

She said it to her boyfriend.

I knew this would happen.

The thing is that Vale
is a ten and you are a...

Morales.

You obviously like her,
but you're very different.

There must be something
I can do, anything.

Something to make Vale
think differently of me.

So, why don't you start trying
with something about work?

No, come on, don't
overdo it, dude.

You're already at
the office, Morales!

Well, yeah, I know,

but I don't know, I'm not
in the mood to be selling.

Okay, hold on.

"In order to succeed in sales,

the first thing you should do

is to understand your
customer's needs."

That was deep.

Whatever you're doing

to start writing your
thesis really works.

We'll find a solution
to your problem.

Thank you, Rodri.

Don't you worry, Morales,
you have me and the internet.

Girlfriend, what is all this?

What you're looking at
here, my dear friend,

is the beginning of my new path.

"The doors only open up
for the brave of heart."

Okay.

It's a quote that Rodri sent
me this morning on WhatsApp

with a picture of "Johnny".

And I'm very brave,
my dear friend,

so I'm ready to
create my own art.

And that sounds amazing, Beca!

But don't you think that
if you want to paint

you should first
learn how to paint

and start with just one first?

Well, obviously.

That's why I found a new trend.

It's called "art on line".

It's basically just
online classes.

Well, that sounds good.

I know! Want to
know the best part?

Since I know that you love
everything art and stuff,

well...

Hold on.

I bought materials
for you as well,

so we can paint together.

Allow your lines
to flow lightly.

Loosen up your wrist.

What now, Rebeca?

I'm sorry, teacher,

but there's something
I don't understand.

What part of "loosen
up your wrist"

don't you understand?

May I be honest with you?

Go ahead.

I'm not finding

the proper purpose
to generate the line,

okay?

I feel that's why my painting
isn't taking any shape.

This is from one
artist to another.

Rebeca, why don't you just let
the teacher give her class?

Thank you, Vale, but the
class has now come to an end.

Pardon? I'm still not
done with my work of art.

I'm sorry, but I have
another class scheduled.

Okay. We could get online
later, right, Vale?

I just remembered right now
that I'll be on vacation!

But I'll text you, Rebeca. Bye!

Okay!

Did you see how the
teacher loves me?

All done!

Alright, I just sent
you all of the images

that inspire me to
write my thesis.

But did you notice that
most of your images

have "Johnny" with
hearts all over?

Yeah, it's just that
my mom sends me those.

But what's important
isn't the images.

What's important is the
quotes in those images,

which will help you find

the strength and the
courage inside you

to help you become a better man!

A ten!

Let's just sh**t for an eight.

Fine.

But stay focused, okay?
That's what's important.

- Who are we?
- We are Morales!

And what do we want?

To be a better Morales!

And how will we achieve it?

Doing things that
Morales wouldn't do!

Now, delete that recording

and repeat to each and
every one of your customers

all of the quotes
that I sent you.

And the most important thing.

"Recognize the basic
needs of your costumers."

Good morning, this is Morales!

Now, sir, if the
product goes to you,

it's simply because you need it!

Madam, there are two things
that keep us from being happy.

That's living in the past

and comparing
ourselves to others.

A longing need is nothing more
than what we want to obtain

but we don't dare obtain it!

Dear madam, ninety
percent of success

is based on being persistent!

Right away, sir,
thank you so much.

And as a thank you
for your patience,

let me offer you a promotion.

Here it is.

Because today is a special day,

your product will be delivered
in less than thirty minutes!

Do you know what I
think, girlfriend?

That maybe next time

you can let the teacher
talk a little more

and perhaps you can
learn something.

It's so obvious!

I came to this world to
create my very own technique.

The message is quite
clear. It's crystal clear.

I need to follow my impulses to
create my own artistic style.

Yes, yes!

See that, Hernández?
Try to beat that!

What is it, Joselito?

That's the bell that's rung

when somebody has
broken a sales record.

Seriously?

And it hadn't been
rung since 1998.

Amazing! You have
a great memory.

"Titanic".

It was the year the
movie was released.

That was a classic.

Speaking of which,

do you think that Jack

would have fit on the
floating door or not?

I've never thought about that,

but I'll watch it
again and let you know.

Look at him! There he is.

There he is.

You, Morales. Come
here, come here.

Your attention, please.

Today is a very special
day for the company.

I must admit that I was
also quite surprised

that our Morales,

whom we have all doubted

and even considered
as useless...

I still remember the time
when we all placed bets

to see if he would break his
own record of foolishness.

Hold on, what did you do?

Well, anyway,
besides all of that,

even if people talk

in spite of evaluations
and problems,

our dear Morales

has broken a sales record!

Thank you very much, thank you.

Well, then?

I still don't really
understand it.

Chesca, the point
is not to understand

but to feel it, okay?

Because... Because it's art.

And besides, you're
a great businessman.

So just imagine...
Imagine your brains,

my artistic creations,

the creative expl*si*n we
can present to the world.

Yes, you're right.

Of course I'm the
right person to handle

this here.

What does that mean?

That means I will get Rebeca
some very good customers.

Are you serious?

I'm glad you're all here. Come.

I want to tell you that
I combined my motivation

with my will to live

and I broke a new
sales record today.

Come on, Morales.

We had agreed that we wouldn't
play jokes on each other.

I have the evidence!

And in spite of what
some people may think,

I'm an eight.

I'm capable of many things.

You mean, you're a ten.

No, I'm an eight.

Well, you should
always be an eight.

Truth is, I've never
liked being c*ck.

But tomorrow, I'm going
to break my own record.

Morales, are you alright?

Better than ever.

You know what they say,

"If you really want
to achieve greatness,

you have to stop
asking for permission."

That's a great quote!

I'm sure I read that
on a Johnny image

my mother sent me once.

Really, Morales? Johnny quotes?

Morales, I am super,
super proud of you.

And since I know it's a very
important day for you...

I'm going to give you

my first painting!

Thank you?

All of this happiness that
all of you are emanating

is actually inspiring me to
paint. I just need to paint.

Somebody stop her, please!

Did you see Morales' face
when I gave him the painting?

Yes, I did, girlfriend!
I think we all saw it.

Do you know what I realized?

That all of you
are my inspiration.

And that is why I
have decided to give

this Rebeca Original

to a very special person,

who really knows how
to appreciate art

and comes from Chihuahua!

Who could it be?

You!

Thank you.

Look at that, you're a
match made in heaven.

I have decided to title it.

"White Unicorn
Paints Gray Platypus"

in your honor, my
country girlfriend.

Joselito!

What's going on here?

Yesterday we sold so much that
we ran out of product C11.

No, there's no
reason to rejoice.

We ran out of boxes,
ran out of labels...

I mean, we even
ran out of staples.

And all because some idiot

had the idea of promising
to deliver the boxes

in less than half an hour.

No, but that's a promotion!

Yes, it's a promotion but
valid only on leap years.

Chesca, I'm here!

Please, tell me

you got everything
I asked you for.

Of course. I spent the
entire night painting.

And look at what I brought you.

These Rebeca original paintings.

- Look, I have...
- No, it's okay. I'll just...

Don't you worry. I trust you.

I'll take at look at them
later. Just leave them.

Alright, so where is your
cousin's gallery then?

Well, it's not really
a gallery. Nope.

It's the institute
for the blind.

Excuse me?

It's the institute
for the blind!

Okay, but not all
of them are blind

in the institute, right?

No!

But almost all are.

Chesca, you don't
understand. I need...

The Rebeca's need the
world to know them.

No, of course I understand.

But let me explain
something, Beca. Listen.

What's important here
is to sell by volume.

Don't worry about the rest.

Okay, but I need a "Rebeca"

at the entrance
of the institute.

- There's no door.
- It's non-negotiable.

- Hello?
- I need five special orders...

No we're out of
stock. Thank you.

Yes?

Wait, let me put you on hold.

What do you want, Rodri?

I sent you more quotes

so you can use them
for your sales today.

No, no. Don't send
me anything else!

How come?

Rodri, I think I
surpassed my eight.

I sold too many products

and the office looks
like a madhouse.

Success is a learned
skill, Morales!

Don't be afraid of it!

Listen, Rodri if you were here,

you'd be terrified of success.

I'm even afraid of
getting fired again.

Beca! Guess what, honey!

What?

Your first payment!

I'm going to get
paid all of this?

Of course, all of that.

It still has to go through
a process of approval.

You know, paperwork,
signatures, permits,

romantic dinners, petting,
government procedures.

How do you know about
all those procedures?

That doesn't matter.

The best part is that
they've asked me for more.

Doesn't that make you happy?

I don't know. I have
this strange feeling

that no one really
appreciates my art, you know?

Only Vale, Morales, Rodri, you.

Me?

But of course, my dear, I
appreciate it very much.

Yes, but that's how artists are.

That's their life. They're
always misunderstood.

Some of them aren't even paid.
I got you a great business deal!

- Yeah, you're right.
- Yes!

Okay, I'm going to
break up the tension.

But I think it's time to
talk about my commission.

When I get paid what
I'm owed, I'll pay you.

No, no. Let me explain
to you how this works.

I already worked, okay?

So now it's my turn to collect
my commission, you know?

My percentage for
representing you.

It's a matter of give and take.

When Morales pays me the
rent money, I'll pay you.

Joselito, Joselito, come, come!

Be honest with me. How
serious is the situation?

Very serious.

And it's all your fault!

At least Urbina isn't
here yet, right?

Urbina's delivering boxes
at this very moment.

I hope you enjoyed
your success, Morales.

Because it didn't last long.

And by the way,

Jack could have never
fit on the door.

Yes?

Morales! Come to my office!

Just come in, come in!
I need to talk to you.

Please, sir, listen to me
before you make a decision.

Think of me. I have
to pay the rent.

Please, don't fire me.

Do you know how bad you f...?

Just how bad you messed up?

I just wanted to prove
that I could be better.

That I could be an eight.

Not a Morales.

But what we really need from you

is for you to keep
on being a five.

You don't want to
be an eight, man.

You just have to
be like this, look.

Just like you've been.

Okay.

What if it's not enough?

You're valuable to the company.

But why?

Because you are our Morales.

And just being you
is more than enough.

I promise I'll do my best.

Today was a complicated day.

Tell me about it.

I was carrying the
Rebeca's all over town.

Well, I figured out
what to do with mine.

What did you do?

I hung it up for Ramona.

Ramon? The little male squirrel?

Rodri, here, I don't know
what to do with this.

It's Ramona, the female big rat.

It's a poor little squirrel
that got in through the wall.

She's a rat.

Anyway, I hung up the painting

so when she sees it, she'll
get scared and leave.

Good for you, Rodri.

Let's see how long
she can take it.

Well, we'll see.

If she eats if, I'll ask
Beca for another one.

She'll be happy to paint it.

- Thieves broke in...
- To our apartment!

What?

Crap! They took everything!

Well, at least they
left the Rebecas.

They even took the
nails from the walls!

Well, I'm not at all surprised

that those people don't
appreciate my art, to be honest.

Freakin' city people!

Now I'll have to tell my dad
that I do want the furniture

he was going to give me
when I moved to Mexico City

but I said no,

because I was going to
be an independent woman.

Now it turns out
I'm not independent

and I do want the furniture
he was going to give me!

Don't worry, you
have our apartment.

Yeah, we can lend you
anything you need.

I'll call my dad, thank you.

Vale, if life throws stones
at you, you build a wall.

Morales, are you sure

your mom doesn't send you
the same quotes as mine?

What are you doing
here, Morales?

Shouldn't you be working today?

That's what I'm doing right now.

No, what you're doing
now is getting home.

That's right.

I'm doing exactly what my boss
asked me to do. To be a five.

Not an eight?

The eight got me into trouble.

Get me in.

Just push the button, man.
