María la del Barrio - Capítulo 2 - Completo

Just finish up here.

Los jóvenes (young men) will be here soon.

I'm trying

Oh, muchacha, your advent sure brought mischievous little demon here.

They're here!

Lupe!

Muchachos (boys)

You're finally back home.

We sure missed you.

Hey, Lupe!

Who's that broad?

Stupid muchacha.

Pay attention to what you do.

Look at me! I'm drenched!

It's you!

You're not going to apologize?

Wasn't on purpose yo. This Greco dog's jus' so darn big.

I got ya all wet huh.

Get off!

Don't know how to use this.

What's this girl doing in my house?

Cursed be the time I wished to come back home.

Look, man let me help..

No, no! Get out.

Get off!

All that screaming...

Sounds like my brother Luis Fernando.

Yes, it's about the time for them to be back.

Yes, it's him.

Let's go, mama.

Dear Lord, why is he yelling? What happened?

Mama, he's always like that now.

Sorry dude, look..

Wasn't on purpose yo.

So you're also disrespectful too..

Ya got that pissed off breath, man.

Ya surely be that Luis Fernando dude.

Ain't never thought ya be so grumpy yo.

Maria, por favor.

He's one of the jovenes (young men) of this house. Show some respect.

I kept askin' the sorries, man and he's all nasty yo.

Look, man, it wasn't on purpose yo.

I couldn't do that to ya.

Weren't you ever taught to use the "usted-form" with other people?

What kind of a sirvienta is this anyway?

She looks like some kind of scarecrow.

Is that my son yelling, Carlota?

Si, Señora.

He just arrived with el joven Vladimir.

Why is he so upset?

It's because of that Chuzma (derogatory term for lower class person) of the slums.

"La Marginal", as la señorita (lady) Soraya calls her, just drenched him with the hose.

Ha, that explains the yells.

Answer at once. Who are you?!

Look, man!

Ya better watch yo tone.

Ya gonna be like that? I ain't tellin' ya nothin'.

Why don't you ask Don Güero?

Whoever you are, I shall ask my mother right now for your dismissal.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots"

As if I care, dude.

I didn't even want to come, man.

What is going on here?

That's what I'd like to know.

How can this scarecrow be one of our sirvientas?

Ya know wut, yo?! You'se the dumb scarecrow here.

Out of thew way.

Out of my sight.

Aww, no man.

Grumpy, drunk and rude!

So disappointing, my Virgensita (Virgin Mary)

I want her out of here, mama.

I want her gone or else!

Lupe take Maria away.

Si Señora.

Vamos (let's go) Maria.

You's bad news yo.

A real rude punk yo.

I even liked ya at first.

Hijos (sons), I'm so glad to see you all.

Como estas? ( how are you?)

Y tu? (and you) Won't you say hello?

Dear Lord, brother, you're in worse condition than when you left.

Is that any way to greet your mother?

I understand you're upset that girl...

You are to fire her today!

Understood?

Did you hear me?

Bueno? (Yes? Hello?)

How is everything, Carlota?

Are my hijos back?

Si, Señor, just a little bit ago.

Oh, but how dreadful.

Is something the matter, Carlota?

Big problem!

Look, el joven Luis Fernando is furious.

And it's all that dirty girl of the slums.

You are to respect her.

She is under my wing.

I do apologize, señor.

However, that muchacha is getting on everyone's last nerve.

Picture it- she drenched Luis Fernando with the hose.

He's so upset, that he demanded of Señora Victoria that she fire "La Marginal"

Fire her, mama.

Don't mind her.

I'm telling you to fire her.

I'll order her to stay in her room when you're home.

She won't leave her room at all.

Don't you understand?

I want you to throw her out.

Enough!

You drank too much on the plane and you're insufferable.

Stay out of it.

I want her gone today.

It cannot be Luis Fernando, I can't throw her out.

Why not?

Vamos (let's go), vamos to the study.

Come now, we cannot continue this altercation here.

Where are you coming from?

From the airport.

My Tia Lila was leaving for Monte Rey

And you won't guess who I saw.

Who?

Luis Fernando de La Vega.

He just came back and he was with his brother.

What do you think?

He's so rude yo.

Ya told me he was grumpy, but that didn't cover it.

Well, you drenched him.

Wasn't on purpose.

He overreacted.

Didn't ya hear all them stuff he said ?

The fool.

He has anxiety.

Hey, 'tween us two, dat boy sure does drink huh.

Well, it seems to be the case, yes.

Aww, that sucks, man.

He's some sucker, yo.

I even liked him too, man.

I never thought he lived here.

Much less that he was the grumpy dude ya mentioned.

You met el joven Luis Fernando?

Has the muchacho (boy) come back?

He must be come now.

Take it.

You need to conceal it either by your chest or in your purse.

What's in it?

Cosas (things)

Cosas (things) with a great deal of power.

Which will render the man you want to be trapped by you.

Take it.

Trust in it.

Always keep it with you.

I don't want to see that disrespectful sirvienta here anymore.

But Luis Fernando...

Hermanito (brother) that muchacha is no sirvienta.

Oh, no?

Then what is she?

Well, her name is Maria.

She is a muchacha of the slums.

Your father felt pity and brought her here after she became an orphan

She lived with her madrina who just died.

Yes, whatever , mama.

Fernando brought her here out of charity.

She's now something of a godchild to him.

She's like a family member now.

What? That muchacha of this family?

Por favor, hijo calm down.

Mama, it's best if Luis Fernando lies down.

He drank too much on the plane.

Papa must be nuts.

I'll speak with him.

That bruta (someone with no finesse) can't be in this house.

Don't waste your time, Luis Fernando.

Nothing and no one can convince Papa to throw Maria out.

Yeah, I seen him twice now.

At Padre Honorio's Iglesia (church)

He was lookin' so nice.

I seen him praying.

Now he like some devil.

Surely that was when before when "that" happened.

Yeah, I sure liked him then.

So much so that I kept dreamin' of him.

With his pretty face.

So handsome.

I ain't never seen a muchacho like him.

So guapo like him.

How wrong I was, Lupe.

He's bad news yo.

I ain't like him no more now.

Well, I don't know what will happen now.

Because he was very intoxicated.

Carlota, this is la señorita Soraya.

Can you contact me with my Tia por favor?

Impossible, señorita Soraya.

La Señora Victoria is in the study with her hijos.

Luis Fernando and Vladimir are back?

Si, señorita.

But soon a tragedy ensued.

And all because of that Maria la del Barrio.

La Marginal, as you call her.

Oh, really?

Oh, it's going to get heated here.

El Joven Luis Fernando was livid.

He demanded, yes, demanded, Doña Victoria that she throw La Marginal out of this house.

I'll speak with Papa right now.

He's at the office, right?

Yes, but do not disturb him.

He gets quite upset when someone speaks ill of that chiquilla (little girl)

He won't allow her to leave.

Oh no?

If she won't go, I will.

I mean it

Either she leaves, or I do.

Let me talk to Papa.

No, por favor no.

I will talk with him when he comes back.

I'll try to convince him.

Well, in the meantime, I'm off to a hotel.

Hijo.

No, I'm not staying.

Thomas!

Luis Fernando!

Thomas!

Wait!

Luis Fernando hasn't changed at all.

To the contrary, Vanesa, he's worse.

Now that he drinks every day, you should have seen him on the plane.

Take my luggage. Put it in the car.

Hurry now!

Control yourself.

You shouldn't drink so much, hijo.

Damn the hour of my return here.

That muchacha...

Please just go to your room, hijo.

Stop your whining.

Oh, Madrinita, that dude form the church is a punk.

He's still yelling yo.

He brought her here as asked by Padre Honorio.

I don't think it's just because Padre Honorio asked that he brought that disrespectful, fodonga (poorly dressed) and ignorant muchacha.

Her hair's a mess, she's foulmouthed ...she's a mess.

Imagine her as one of the family.

She's a scraggily rat.

Papa esta loco. (dad's crazy)

He must have another kind of interest in her.

Adios, mama. (bye mom)

Por favor, Luis Fernando.

Stay. Stay and I promise that today I'll speak with your Padre.

When you convince Papa and she's left, I'll come back on my own.

Vamos, Thomas!

He thinks so badly of me.

Why are you crying?

Because no one wants me here.

That's not true.

I want you here.

This be the first I be seeing ya though

You're really pretty.

Really?

Whenever you want, I can play with you.

But your mom won't let you.

She doesn't like me one bit.

Who'd want you? You're an intruder in this house.

Vamos, Gloria.

I don't want you to speak to this Marginal.

And you know what, muchacha?

The best thing you can do is to leave this house.

Here, not now or ever, would someone other than Señor Fernando, who must be nuts, would want you.

Dumpster diver!

Disgusting!

Yeah. Dumpster diver. And proud of it.

I'm off to the same hotel, mama.

So when you have papa convinced.

Let me know and I'll return.

For the love of God, Luis Fernando.

Your like this because you drank too much.

Where did you leave Maria?

The girl is in her room, señora.

Quite the burden ya left me yo,

Padre Honorio was to find a good home for me.

Virgin Mary, I asked for that miracle now.

I didn't think that punk was so bad.

You must be pleased with yourself now.

I'm truly sorry Doña Victoria.

It wasn't on purpose, really.

You should have apologized!

I did but he was so rude.

Cause he's drunk.

You insolent...

All this is because my husband won't let you know your place.

Yes, of course, who cares.

I care!

My son left because of you!

He won't come back so long as you're here.

Your son's exaggerating.

He's just a drunk who knows nothin' more than his drinking.

Ya know what?

If you want, I get my effects now and peace man.

It would be my pleasure to allow that, but I cannot contradict my husband.

Then there ain't much I can do huh

But I can!

As soon as he gets here I will talk with him.

In the meantime, you stay put here!

Understood?

You don't leave this room until I say so.

You'll only leave here to get out of this house.

Great, you're home.

I was going to call you.

We have big problems.

I thought so. Which is why I'm here.

I warned you that the girl's stay here would cause issues.

Hmm.. these issues started no sooner than the return of your hysterical hijo, right?

Luis Fernando is also your hijo.

And I was sure that girl's stay here would bother him.

Her stay here shouldn't be cause for bother for him.

You don't know what she did.

I know.

Carlota told me quite explicitly over the phone.

I rather don't think this is the big issue you claim.

You know that after what happened you him, our hijo's personality has changed.

He's not well.

He doesn't think and he takes everything so badly.

He's just a capricious spoiled brat.

If you hadn't showed him so much favoritism.

Fernando you need to throw Maria out today.

Maria is not leaving.

And if it bother Luis Fernando so much, then he should leave.

He has and he left for a hotel.

So strange...

It's first time he does this, right?

This is no time for irony.

You need to kick her out.

If you'd like, aid her financially.

Or maybe Padre Honorio can put her in another home.

She cannot stay here.

She's staying here.

Is that stranger more important than one of your hijos?

Of course not.

But I gave my word that I would help that muchacha and I won't go back on it because of Luis Fernando's nonsense.

Was the Señora too harsh on you?

She tore me up yo.

She's just anxious.

She just don't like me.

Since no one likes me in this house, I just wanna leave.

El Señor Fernando and I like you.

You and Don Güero are real nice!

La Ñora don't like me

And that snooty Carlota looks down on me.

And la Señorita Soraya be treatin' me real poorly too.

The rest of the help don't even look at me.

La Señorita Vanesa doesn't treat you badly.

She's whatever, she's barely here.

Ya know what, Lupe, I'd rather go back to the slums with my people.

Here, sure all these peeps be rich n' fancy and holy holy...

but they be so unkind with us poor folk.

Well, truly, you have a point, girl.

La Señora Victoria and el Señor Fernando are fighting in the study

Los Jovenes are in the living room.

No, you don't know..he was insufferable.

I don't know how I survived the trip with him.

Hola

Soraya

Vladimir

So good to see you.

And Luis Fernando?

Carlota told me there were more problems with Maria la del Barrio.

Yes, because my brother Luis Fernando gets worse every passing day.

So where is he?

Carlota told us when she brought the coffee, that he left the house because he doesn't want to be near that muchacha.

He left?

Where?

His preferred place for his tantrum.

The same place he always goes to

Call that chiquilla (girl) right now

And tell her to leave.

I said Maria is not leaving

If she doesn't leave, your hijo is not coming back.

A drunkard's nonsense...

Once that and his tantrum subside, he'll come back.

No, no, no... if she doesn't go our hijo won't come back.

She needs to go

She has to go, Fernando!

I've said no, and that is enough.

Please stop fighting.

I realize that nobody likes me here.

I'm a foul smell in this house.

I won't be where I ain't wanted.

I'm peacin' out to my slums

That sounds like a magnificent idea.

No, muchacha.

Let her leave at once.

Word, Don Güero..

La Ñora really hates me now.

She'll change her mind

I promise.

Don't make things worse..

Truth is, ya'll be so fancy and I'm bruta (someone who lacks finesse)

Even if we're all peeps deep down, "a jug is no vase"

As I've said, when all is said and done, la chiquilla has more sense of these things than you.

Return to your room, Maria.

Do not disobey me.

No, Don Güero.

I don't want to disobey

You've been real good to me.

Stop insisting and let her leave, Fernando.

It is you who must stop insisting.

Definitively and for the last time Maria stays.

You oppose your son for her?

If Luis Fernando wants to return then he'll return.

If he doesn't, then he can stay where he is.

It's all the same to me.

Vamos, Maria.

I don't think it right of Tio Fernando to have brought La Marginal to this house.

She was a dumpster diver back at the slums where she lived.

Papa has said many times that it is out of charity per Padre Honorio's request.

This is all rather suspicious, no?

What do you think, Soraya?

What anyone would think, Vladimir.

That muchacha could be Tio Fernando's hija.

Well, I'm going to go see Tia Victoria.

Excuse me.

Really Don Fernando.

That room you tell me I ain't ever seen it.

This one here's bangin'

I ordered for you to be placed in the other room.

Hey, look now, don't worry 'bout it yo.

This room be ballin'

I ain't never been in no room like this before.

Lupe!

Lupe!

He opposes his own hijo for that intruder.

Enough, Tia, calm down.

But how can this be.

How is that chiquilla worth more to him than us?

Tio must have a reason.

Don't doubt it.

So La Marginal is not leaving?

No, he won't let her.

If she won't leave my hijo won't come back.

Don't you want to talk about Luis Fernando?

How is he?

As guapo as he's always been.

And his brother? Another hunk.

Hey Brenda, wouldn't that be great?

One brother for you, and another for me.

I'm engaged,

Yeah, well, a little fun is no harm now.

La Señora ordered me to place her here, Don Fernando.

But I said for her to be placed in one of the guest rooms.

I didn't know, Señor.

Look, that's good enough, Don Güero.

Don't make things worse now.

Let me go back to the slums.

No, muchacha.

I want to help you.

I promised Padre Honorio.

I have a commitment with him and myself.

Yeah, well things be getting heated though.

"look every monkey for his own vine"

It will be fine.

Don't you trust me, Maria?

What can I say, Don Güero?

I barely know you.

I really can't thank you enough.

Trust in me, muchacha.

Stay.

I want to help you.

I want you to study and learn so you can fend for yourself in life.

I promise that I will make a señorita (lady) out of you yet.

And you will feel proud of yourself.

What do you say?

You're on!

Maria stays.

But not in this room.

I'll get the guest room ready.

No, not that one either.

In one of the rooms of the first floor.

A room for visiting relatives.

You'll be near us.

If Maria is to be a señorita, then from now on she must take the appropriate steps.

Maria will sleep in the first floor with the rest of us.

I want to speak with you candidly

Si, Papa, tell us.

What is this about, Papi?

When will you go see my son?

Right now, Tia Victoria.

Convince him, Soraya.

Convince him to come back.

Tell him that between the two of us we'll get that chiquilla out of this house.

He just needs to give us time.

I'll try, Tia.

I'll try.

I'm off.

I'll let you know as soon as I can.

Don't worry, Tia.

What is this one doing up here?

Orders from Don Fernando

La Muchacha stays here and will sleep not in one of the sirvienta rooms, but in one of the guest rooms for relatives

Here?

Right with the family?

This garbage roach?

Yeah, man and proud of it.

Wut's your issue yo?

"this one" has her name

Maria

Maria

Can' you hear it's an order from Don Guero who's in charge here.

Don't claim your victory just yet, chuzmita (derogatory for person of lower class)

You won't last long here.

Oh, wut? Are ya gonna kick me out or somethin' man?

Ya hoity toity tramp.

Watch yo self, girl.

You're truly more corriente (un refined/cheap/uncouth/not classy) than you seem.

How disgusting.

And you're the worst kind of snob.

Ya better leave me alone or I..

I want to help her.

Protect her .

She is a good girl who knows no malice.

It's not fair to maltreat her.

I'm not asking you to love her, just be kind to her and don't mistreat her or be rude to her.

I've never done so.

I've only just met her.

But be honest, Papa.

Why such a fixation on that niña?

As I told you, I promised Padre Honorio. I owe him that debt.

Just that, papa?

What else do you both think?

She's not your hija?

I should be upset with you, Vladimir.

But I understand, it's only reasonable that you may think that.

No, I swear to you that she is not my hija.

It's just as I have told you.

Do you believe me?

Si, Papa.

I believe you, Papa.

Don't worry about me.

I never intended nor will I mistreat Maria.

Nor I Papa

Lupe, I can never stay snoozin' here.

I'll be so scared.

Scared to dirty up the sheets.

I can't stay here.

You'll get used to it.

People get used to nice things quickly.

Yeah, but this be real nice yo.

This is just incredibly awesome man

Where would you like me to put your Virgin Mary pictures?

and your picture of your Madrina.

and of your parents.

I don't know right now.

Still takin' it all in right now.

Lupe, pinch me.

Pinch me.

Pinche me so I'll know I ain't dreamin'

I'm awake!

I'm awake Lupe

Hey, is there a ballin' bathroom in here too like the other one?

Si

Ven (come)

It's this one here.

Holy moly

Go on now. Go in.

Go in

Whoa.

This is a bathroom?

Its got its own puddle place.

This is so tight yo

It's settled now, I can't be in such a nice bed or get cleaned here.

What's this, Lupe?

You clean your feet here?

Nah, word?

I gotta learn these things now.

Hola, Luis Fernando.

What, you don't recognize me?

Soraya?

I went to your house because I knew you came back.

And I soon found out that you had a problem and came here.

Okay, well sit.

Keep me company.

What do I get you?

Nothing, thanks.

I came to speak with you.

If my mama sent you, I don't want to hear it.

Just leave.

Luis Fernando.

You're really drunk.

I don't care.

I'll keep going till I can't anymore.

Lupe I entrust you with la Muchacha.

She shouldn't be dirty. She should look presentable.

Si Señor.

I want you to go with her tomorrow to buy whatever she needs.

Vanesa will go with you.

I just asked her to.

As you command, Señor.

Oh, did you tell the other employees that I wish to speak with them?

I was just getting to that, Señor.

Bring them all here in the living room, i'll be with them shortly.

Carlota.

Stay here, Don Fernando wants to speak with you and the others.

Bueno? De La Vega residence.

Is Luis Fernando there?

No, Señorita, he's not here.

But he came back from his trip, right?

Yes, but he's not home.

Who's calling?

I asked who's calling?

Stop drinking.

Let me take you to your room.

Are you going to start lecturing me like my mom?

I don't want to hear it.

You know why I left the house?

I know.

And I don't intend on saying another word about it.

Come on.

Listen to me.

Let me take you to your room so you can rest.

Will you do that for me?

Maria is here because I want her to be here.

And I will not allow her to be mistreated by anyone.

For you all, she will be like la Señora Victoria, like me, or one of my hijos.

She deserves your respect.

The same as you deserve that from me.

Truth be told, Don Fernando...

You don't need to tell us.

Maria has our respect.

And it really pleases us that you'd want to help one of our people.

Someone poor like us.

That's right Señor.

We all like her Señor.

All of us except Carlota.

She's the only one who hates her.

I don't know why that would be considering she's not better than her.

It better not happen again, Carlota.

If you don't like Maria, ignore her.

I better not find out that you antagonize her.

Si Señor.

That's all. You're dismissed.

You make me look ridiculous in front of the help.

It's not my fault, and you can avoid that by accepting la muchacha and showing her affection.

Her never.

Too bad for you then.

I also wanted to tell you, since you didn't heed my order to place Maria in a guest room..

and instead placed her in a sirvienta room, I decided that she can stay in one of the guest rooms for relatives.

Upstairs?

Where else?

I'm glad you're speechless, because this is my order and I won't allow a discussion.

My love.

You need to rest.

Put your arms up.

Come now.

Wait for me.

I'm going to help you.

Lie down.

Lie down now.

Buenas noches.

You're leaving me by myself?

You want me to stay?

si

I don't like to see you drunk.

Oh, no, if you're going to start lecturing me like mama, then you better leave.

Don't be like that with me.

I don't like to be treated like a child.

I drink because I like to.

Okay?

As you wish.

Carlota, why has la Señorita Vanesa not come down to eat.

She didn't have class today.

La Señorita Vanesa went out with Lupe and that muchacha, the dumpst-

she has her name...

Maria.

Don't forget it, Carlota.

With Maria, Señora.

With her?

Why?

El Señor can tell you about it, Señora.

They went to buy her clothes, shoes and whatever else she needs to look presentable.

It was by my order, Victoria.

It's no problem, right?

Vane

How does this one look?

Looking tight yo

Looking good, Maria.

Where are we going?

We'll take it all, Señorita.

Now we're going to go get you some shoes.

You're happy.

oh, man, super happy.

You know why?

Cause someone like you is hanging with someone like me.

As if I were of your level or something.

You don't dislike me like your mom

I'm getting' all emotional cause of it..

I'm just so glad you're so good to me.

La Señorita Soraya is calling you, Señora Victoria.

Soraya

Buenos Dias.

What happened?

I waited for your call last night.

I didn't have good news, Tia.

I didn't want to disturb you.

That is to say that..

I found him quite drunk.

And I couldn't convince him to come back.

But you insisted?

You have no idea.

But it was futile.

What will calm you some is that I convinced him to go back to his room.

Oh, Dear God.

We'll think about what to do, Tia.

But before anything, for him to return, we need to get la Marginal out of your house.

Well, Tia, I'll call you later.

I just woke up and I'm having breakfast now.

Gracias, anyway, Soraya.

Vladimir, come with me to go get your brother.

I need to convince him to come back.

You must have come back really late last night.

Cause I didn't even hear you, mi niña.

Si, Nana.

I got back really late.

Oh, by the way.

Bravo!

I must congratulate you.

I didn't think it would be so soon, but your amulet has already given me good results.

Really, mi niña Soraya.

Si, Nana.

Muy buenos resultados.

The good man is in my hands now.

It pains me to see you like this, Luis Fernando.

I'm sorry, mama.

I was so drunk, and you know how I get.

You think it fair that I should pay for your bad mood?

You make me suffer so much, Luis Fernando.

I don't deserve this.

Well, enough, mama.

Please relax

I'm sober now.

I'm sorry.

No, hijito, I don't want you to apologize.

I just want you to come back home.

You'll come back, right?

I need you with me, hijo.

It was such a long time without seeing you.

It's just not fair that I must be so far from you.

Enough, brother.

Stop displeasing mother.

I promise you that the muchacha will leave the house.

I'll kick her out.

But first give me time.

I promise you won't have to see her.

I won't allow her to leave her room while you're home.

Come back, hijo.

Por favor.

Come back.

Alright, mama.

Don't cry anymore. Relax.

I'll go back.

What are you doing here?

I'm being good, Señora.

Really.

Is this really the same chiquilla from yesterday?

She actually looks bonita.

Bonita?

She looks preciosa (gorgeous).

Where'd you leave your filth?

In the bathroom..

You've changed alright.

I think there's someone here who's been smitten by you.

You?
