LABOUR OF LOVE
What are you doing in my house?e
You hate the idea of Pedro not being able to live without me.e
I don't want to feel like I'm fighting ghosts.hehe
Or that I ruined a love storyhehehe
you and her have had for years.e
I love you, Ignacia.hehehe
You can't leave me, Dad!hehe
You can't do this to me.hehe
I'll give you some advice... get close to Lupita's family.he
Befriend them, go to the wedding...hehehe
e
My dad left you and me because of these two.hehehe
That's a lie.hehehe
Ignacia won't set foot here again.hehe
LABOUR OF LOVEheheheehe
Yes, miss.hehehe
I understand.he
The ballroom's very popular and it must be reserved in advancee
but the bride can't wait because she's about to pop...he
Did you catch my drift?hehee
I know it'll be expensive, but money is no object.hehee
Charge me whatever you want.he
I want that place for next month, okay?hehe
e
So?he
I reserved the largest ballroom in the best hotel in East L.A.e
Thank you, Aunt Gina.hehehe
That's been a dream my whole life.hehe
I don't know how to thank you.e
Study really hard and finish high school.hehe
That's how you can repay me.he
e
Aunt Gina got me a ballroom for my wedding reception!hehe
What's wrong, Margarita? What's with the long face?hee
e
What do you mean? Where'd he go?he
I don't know.hehehe
Nobody does.he
hehe
So?hehe
Do you like it?he
Yeah, I'd never been here before.hehe
I thought so.hehe
I can't imagine you eating here with your fancy friends.he
Don't treat me as if I were a..e
A what? A lady?hehehe
That's what you are. A beautiful lady.hehehe
Come on, Pedro.hehe
A lady?he
If you'd seen the dumps I used to eat athe
when I was in school and broke...hehehe
they were worse than this one!e
Is this a dump to you?hehee
e
I love being here with you.he
I really mean it.hehe
What do we do? Who should we ask for a menu?he
A menu? They don't have menus here.hee
They have all types of tacos... from al pastor and carnitashee
e
even eye tacos...hehehe
but they're not as beautiful as yours, my love.he
What's with the look?hehehe
What do you mean?hehe
Relax.he
We have a serious subject to discuss.he
I have nothing to talk about.he
Instead of just standing there, you should help me cook.hehe
Sis... they called from the hospitalhehehe
to remind you about your treatment.hehehe
I haven't made any appointments because I won't do anything.he
The doctor himself said there was nothing wrong with me.hee
Yeah, but even if your tumor's benign,hehehe
it has to be treated to prevent future complications.he
Come on, Margarita.hehehee
You're not a doctor.he
But I'm a mom... and I have to be with my daughter.hehe
I have to be there for her wedding.hehehe
I can't be bald and throwing up all over the place.hehe
No way! I'm not going.hehehe
Sis...hehehe
Would you rather be ready for your daughter's wedding...e
or alive to see your grandkids?e
Stop patronizing me.hehehe
Only God knows my fate.hehe
If you want to help, help me find my wallet.hehe
It's been missing since yesterday.hehehe
I can't find it anywhere.hehe
What you need to find is your common sense...he
especially now that Olegario's gone.hehe
He was the only one who could bring some sense into you.hee
That's enough, Gina.hehehe
Stay out of my life.hehe
I'm begging you, don't mention him ever again!he
What's up, doll?hehehehe
We look like brother and sistere
We have the same sandwich.hee
e
Yeah, she's very good.hehee
What's up with you?hehe
Do you know anybody else here in L.A.?he
No, I'm alone.hehe
I came to work to send money to my brother.hehe
Don't tell me you're one of those...hehe
Watch your mouth!hehe
Take it easy.hehe
I meant if you're one of those pretty, hard-working women...he
I really mean it.hehehehe
e
Can I ask you something?hehe
What's up?he
That girl over there, that worker...he
is she going out with the guy next to her?hehe
You mean like dating?hehehe
I mean... they look like a couple, right?hehe
I don't want to overstep any boundaries.hehehe
No way.hehe
He schmoozes with everybody.he
What do you mean?hehe
Yeah.he
I don't know what that rookie is up to.he
He's always pretending to be a cool kid...hehe
To me, he's too friendly.hehe
I've been in this business for too long and you know what...?e
There's something fishy about him.hehehe
Besides, he always shows up with his face all bruised uphe
and he comes up with the most outrageous explanations.he
You think he's in a gang?hehe
Not too long ago, they tried to break into the warehouse.he
We made a bet here at the site.e
I'm not the only one who thinks he had something to do with it.e
That so called Angel... is the devil.hehehe
I can't believe it. This is outrageous.hehehee
How can things disappear in my own house?hehe
My wallet has to turn up.hehe
I had quite a few bucks in it.e
If that lost money is what has you down,hehe
which I doubt,hehehe
let me buy Lupita her dress and problem solved!he
Who told you I wanted to buy her a dress?hehehe
I want to sew it myself!hehe
That's my gift to Lupita.hehe
e
Hello.hehehe
Good morning, Margarita.hehe
What's so good about it?hehe
Don't tell me you're still mad at me.hehe
No! Don't you see how thrilled I ame
I came to apologize.hehehe
At least you show your face...e
Not like other jerks who take off without an explanation.hee
Listen, Petra.hehehe
I don't think our sewing partnership is going to work.he
I can reimburse you for messing up your daughter's dress.hehe
That won't be necessary.hehe
I don't need your help.he
Or anybody else's.hehe
Petra, please excuse my sister.e
She's going through rough timese
She's mad at someone elsehehe
and she's taking it out on the world.he
That may be but I get the feeling she's mad at me.hehe
Believe me, it's not you she's mad at.hehehe
She'll get over it.hehe
In fact, let me have you numbere
I'll call you when things cool down.hehe
Right now, we're in the eye of the storm.hehe
I hope she calms down.hehee
Eye tacos?hehehe
Don't they have salads?he
Is that all they have?hehee
Yes, my love. Tacos... the best ones.hehee
Let's order already because my stomach's growling.e
Pancho!hehehe
What are you doing here?hehe
I need to talk to you, Estela.e
I'm busy.hehe
How much longer will you keep living with Tomas?hehee
Don't look at me that way. It's just common sense.hehe
You have no business living in his house.hehehe
He's no longer your son-in-law.e
And your children don't live here anymore.he
I won't discuss that with you.e
Besides, how dare you talk about your childrenhe
after you abandoned them?hehe
Instead of attacking me,he
why won't you admit you have a relationship with Tomas?he
Someone saw you two kissing.he
e
Tripe tacos for the lady and head tacos for the worker.hee
I hope you'll like the ones I chose for you.hehehe
These are tripe tacos?hehe
he
And this is the best taco shop in town.he
This is a five-star taco shop!e
Don't tell me you don't like tripe.hehehe
Should I order you some tail tacos?hehe
Actually, I'm not that hungry.e
I know what's wrong...hehee
You must be thinking about your diet, the calories, right?e
e
A little of what you fancy does you good.hehe
Go ahead and eat!hehehe
It's getting cold. Put some lemon.he
What did you want to tell me about Olegario?he
It's from work.hehehe
But we're eating.he
I'm expecting a very important call from the inspector.hehe
-Can we go? -Leave?hehehehe
-You haven't even taken a bite! -It doesn't matter.hehe
We'll come back some other day. I promise!hehe
Hello?hehehe
Yes, Mr. Manrique.he
This is Ignacia Santamaria.he
That's not true.heheehee
How could you come up with such an atrocity?he
Tomas is my son-in-law. He's Ignacia's husband.hehee
I'd never...he
How dare you fathom the idea?!e
You can't deny it.hehe
And don't pretend you're offended.hehe
They saw you and it's from a very reliable source.hehee
Who told you?hehehe
I won't tell you.he
It was that nutcase Karina.hee
Karina knew it too?hehehe
No!hehehe
She couldn't have known because it's not true.
Once again you're lying to hurt me.hehehe
You're accusing me of being a liar?hehe
You?hehehe
The one who lied to her kidshe
about something as grave as a tumor?hehe
Listen up...hehehe
you won't interfere in anybody else's happiness.hehe
Neither in mine nor in our children's!hehehe
Otherwise, everyone will find out, you hear?hehe
You're very, very sick hehee
and I won't let you ruin any more lives.hehehehe
e
Ignacia and Ruben already know how you blackmailed Alfonsina.e
How could you torture your own motherhehehehee
because she's into gambling?he
What kind of a daughter are youe
What kind of person are you?he
What will Mireya do without her dad and Pedro by her side?e
e
Poor thing...he
Despite her bitterness and bad temper, I feel sorry for her.he
Can you imagine?hehehe
She's alone and helpless in that wheelchair.he
And she doesn't have a job.hee
How's she going to support herself?he
So glad you're here, Neto.hee
Really?hehe
How come you're so happy to see me?he
Something unexpected happened.e
Olegario left.hehehe
Aren't we in danger of him coming back?hehe
It's serious.hehehe
Olegario left for good.hehe
