Episode 5, 1st Season: "The Bomb"
-
- Mom, some kids are making fun of me at school
-
- But why??
-
- They say their dads make more money than mine.
-
- Kids, what have I told you to do when that happens?
-
- Ask if their dads are divorced and get their phone numbers for you.
-
- Federica!
-
- I told them that's not true, I am NOT the son of a failed man.
-
Because I am adopted.
-
- You hear that? He had to say he's adopted.
-
This is what your son has to do for having a failed man as a father!!
-
- But he IS adopted.
-
- That's not the point.
-
The point is you haven't climbed up the ladder at work in years!
-
It's time for you to ask for a promotion.
-
I don't want to be the wife of a failed man my whole life
-
- Don't worry, I promise you'll stop being the wife of a failed man.
-
- Really? When?
-
- As soon as I divorce from you.
-
- This is the last straw Ludovico!
-
Don't you have ambitions or dreams in life?
-
- Of course I do.
-
I've always dreamed of giving you all that you deserve.
-
- Really? What is that?
-
- This! This and that!
-
And that too!
-
And you deserve this, too!!
-
- What are you thinking about?
-
- Nothing, I think about the day I'll get a raise.
-
-Don't you worry, dad,
-
One day they'll acknowledge all you do for that company.
-
- Bibi, don't speak nonsense.
-
If they find out what I do for that company
-
I'll be fired!
-
Why can't you be a normal girl?
-
- I think what your weird daughter meant
-
is that you have to take action and ask for a raise.
-
Why don't you talk to your boss?
-
- But I did it. I told him my salary was unfair.
-
- And what did he reply?
-
- He said I was right. And so he cut down my salary.
-
- So, go to the very top.
-
Speak to Mr. Camerino
-
- Are you crazy?
-
Mr. Camerino is the president of P.Lush Industries
-
and owns half of P.Lush City
-
He's very busy, I can't waste his time.
-
- You're right, honey.
-
Your kids won't stop loving you just because they think
-
that their father is a coward, failed, mediocre and sucker man!
-
- Hold on a second.
-
I don't think that of my father.
-
- They're talking about your adoptive father
-
- Oh, then that's true.
-
- Fine! I'll speak to Mr. Camerino today
-
I'll show you all that I'm a determined man with character.
-
And won't come back home until I talk to him!
-
- Great, daddy. Good luck to you.
-
I hope you come back before I finish college.
-
- Let me just warn you: my parents are coming
-
for dinner at 8pm
-
And you know they hate it when you're late
-
- You're right. I'll talk to him some other day.
-
- Ludovico! Today, today.
-
- Friday.
-
- Today.
-
-Friday
-
-Today
-
- Friday.
-
-Today
-
- Friday.
-
- Today
-
- Today!!
-
A few hours later...
-
- What was that noise?
-
- My stomach!
-
- I'm scared to talk to Mr. Camerino,
-
My stomach turns just thinking about it.
-
The worst part is that my family doesn't understand me.
-
- But I do understand you.
-
- Really?
-
- Yes. You're scared because he's an arrogant rich man
-
and you're just a coward, failed, mediocre and a sucker.
-
- True. You do understand me.
-
I'm glad you're my friend.
-
- I'm also your coworker, buddy and back-up.
-
- So how can I stop being afraid of him?
-
- Just look at him like a normal human being
-
that's gets sick, sweats, smells
-
fires people without thinking it twice...
-
- Thanks, Flavio.
-
I'm not scared anymore. I'm terrified now.
-
- Look, it also works when you picture in your mind
-
the people that intimidate as wearing only underwear.
-
- That's nonsense!
-
- I swear it works.
-
As a child, every time I was reprimanded,
-
I would picture my mom that way.
-
Try it.
-
- Your mom's so ugly!
-
- Try it with Mr. Camerino.
-
Mr. Camerino is nothing but a normal person in underwear.
-
- Hey! You can't go inside!
-
- Mr. Camerino, I need to talk to you!
-
- Do you have any idea who you are talking to?
-
- Do you have any idea who I am?
-
- A normal person in underwear.
-
- What??
-
- I meant...I...Mr. Camerino I'm here
-
to talk to you
-
I've been your employee for many years
-
and I want you to know that...
-
that I have needs.
-
- What are you talking about?
-
- About something that I've kept inside for a long time
-
And now it's time to take it out.
-
- So take it out!
-
- That's exactly what I'm going to do
-
- Assistant, you have just seen a unique employee.
-
An employee capable of showing what he has inside.
-
Find out who that loser is and fire him
-
before I come back!
-
- How lovely to see my kids play hide-and-seek with their grandma
-
- Darn kids, where did you put my wig?
-
- Gosh, Ludovico's not here yet
-
Where the heck is he?
-
- Maybe he's talking to Mr. Camerino.
-
- I hope so. Ludovico deserves to be acknowledged.
-
- He's worth what he carries inside of him.
-
- No! Don't do this!
-
I'm about to explode!
-
- Sorry, but you'll have to go to the one on top.
-
- I'm sure when he gets to the very top
-
He'll show what he is capable of doing
-
- You always defend him.
-
- All I know is that he desperately needs
-
to get to the top at his company.
-
- They don't know about the pressure he has to endure.
-
- It was filled!
-
Thanks for the chocolate, grandpa.
-
- I'm hungry.
-
- Be patient. The meatloaf is coming now.
-
- It's coming! It's coming!
-
- Nooo!! Noo!
-
What am I going to do?
-
- Just one little zuchinni for me
-
Without the meat. I'm on a diet.
-
- He should have arrived 1 hour ago
-
He's so rude!
-
- Maybe something came across his way.
-
- You dropped it very well.
-
- It was just luck.
-
- What a relief.
-
- Hey! What are YOU doing in my restroom?
-
- Not sure. Can't remember what I ate.
-
- This is the last straw!
-
- It's not exactly like a straw but...
-
- Get out of here!
-
Security!
-
- Mr. Camerino, let me take a moment now that we're by ourselves.
-
- You're sick!
-
- I think so, too.
-
- But actually no, my wife put too much spices on the food.
-
- Employees are prohibited from doing two things:
-
Coming into my office and coming into my restroom!
-
And you just did the two!
-
- Yes, that's why I'm here.
-
- I said 'two things', not 'number two'!
-
You're fired!
-
- It can't get any worse than this.
-
- Quick! Come in! Quickly!
-
- Come on! Quickly
-
- Stop!! What the hell is going on here?
-
- There's a bomb in the building.
-
- Could you discuss out there? I'm feeling shy.
-
It'll explode as soon as he gets up
-
- It can't get any worse
-
- Sir, we have to evacuate immediately
-
- Can we wait?
-
- I don't understand why Ludovico is so behind
-
- The doctors say it's because he didn't get
-
enough oxygen at birth.
-
- Besides being behind, he's unpunctual
-
He's a really bad example for the kids.
-
- Sir, we called an anti-terrorism squad,
-
5 patrols, 20 grenadiers, some magazines for him and a deodorant spray.
-
- Mr. Camerino, since there's more trust now between us and we know each other well,
-
I wanted to ask you for a promotion.
-
- Don't worry.
-
You won't have to worry about your job again.
-
- You're not going to fire me?
-
- Actually, I don't think you'll survive
-
So, why worry?
-
- Right now we have a team of divers
-
trying to deactivate the bomb.
-
-Divers?
-
- Hey! Hey! Stop you guys!
-
- My friend, your situation is difficult
-
But don't you worry,
-
we'll be taking measures soon.
-
- What kind of measures?
-
- We'll measure the size for your coffin.
-
- Ready? Go!
-
Mr. Ludovico, your life depends on whether you get up or stay sitting
-
How difficult to digest is that for you?
-
- Well, I already digested THAT.
-
- Yes, but you have become a hero in P.Lush City
-
A normal man fighting against fate.
-
What are you feeling right now?
-
- Nothing.
-
-What? You're a hero, and you don't feel anything?
-
- No, I don't feel anything
-
because my legs are numb now
-
- Excuse me.
-
- Ludovico, we waited for you to dine together.
-
What excuse are you going to use this time?
-
- I accidentally used Mr. Camerino's restroom
-
and now I can't get up because a bomb was placed in the toilet
-
- Ludovico, where did you get all that crap?
-
- You really want to know?
-
- You really expect me to swallow that?
-
- Well, not really.
-
- I won't let you make fun of me.
-
I demand you respect me.
-
- Okay, I'll respect you.
-
- Let's continue with the interview.
-
- Hello? Hello?
-
- A bomb!
-
- He expects me to believe that nonsense!
-
- Just picture this: Ludovico on the news, sitting on a toilet.
-
- Look, mom! My dad is on the news, sitting in a toilet.
-
- What!!
-
- Can I see the soccer match score?
-
- One sec, one sec.
-
- Excuse me!
-
- Ludovico, how the heck do you come up
-
with the most original ways to humiliate us in public?!
-
- How dare you come and tell me that, Federica!
-
Can't you see my position right now?
-
- Yes, I see your position.
-
In fact, millions of people can see your position, you insect!
-
-
- Dumb ass.
-
- Stupid man!
-
- Witch
-
- Idiot
-
- Ma'am, don't speak that way to him
-
Can't you see his life is in danger?
-
- How is he going to get out of here?
-
- There are many possibilities.
-
- I'm so glad.
-
- Yes, he can come out of here burned, charred, or in pieces.
-
- Honey, Flavio! Come here!
-
I heard there was a bomb in your office. I thought you were in danger.
-
What a relief to find out that it's Ludovico who's in danger and not you.
-
- Hi Federica.
-
How sorry I feel for you.
-
I get goose bumps just to think that you're going to explode.
-
-There's a chance I'll be saved, neighbor.
-
- But it's a remote chance. Don't get too excited
-
'cause later you'll be disappointed.
-
It's better to get resigned and explode with dignity.
-
Federica, it must be awful to see your husband die.
-
Especially in such a stupid and humiliating way?
-
Not even a suicide bomber would do this.
-
- Why, oh why, Ludovico. All your life you were everyone's laughingstock
-
Why do you have to die in this ridiculous way??
-
- I know we have our differences,
-
but I want to let you know that I would've liked
-
to meet you before.
-
- Are you being sincere, Lucrecia?
-
- Yes! Because I would've seen so many situations like this!
-
- One of these days, sis-in-law, one of these days.
-
- This is not the time to to reveal your secrets.
-
- The only one that reveals his secrets is Ludovico.
-
- Kids, come here, say hi to your father.
-
- Disgusting! - He smells!
-
- Dad, if you leave, who's going to fill that space?
-
- Your dad filled that space 6 hours ago.
-
- Stop saying disgusting things.
-
Why can't you be a normal girl?
-
- Kids, please take care of your mother.
-
I hope you learn a lesson from this.
-
- What is the lesson?
-
- Always go to the restroom before leaving home.
-
- Dad, we're going to piss you.
-
I meant, we're going to miss you.
-
- Ma'am, your husband is a real hero
-
If Mr. Camerino had gone to the restroom before him
-
He would be in his place
-
- Ludovico, you're a celebrity now
-
Anderson Cooper wants to offer you a seat in his news show for an interview
-
- Good, 'cause there's no toilet seat here.
-
- No, it's a seat for an interview in his program 360 Degrees
-
But if I take that seat and flip it 360 degrees, it'll get to the same side
-
- No, it's a seat for his show, and you'll feel like you're in a throne in that show.
-
- If it's a throne I don't want it.
-
- Sorry, he said no!
-
- You see, Federica?
-
I told I was going to be an important person one day
-
but you didn't believe me
-
- Yes!
-
And you didn't believe me when I said I'd be famous doing what I like best, either.
-
- Yes, you're right. Sorry.
-
- Attention everyone: Mr. Camerino has an announcement.
-
- On behalf of P.Lush Industries I'd like to congratulate this man
-
for setting a great example...
-
- What??!!
-
- A great example of courage and values
-
This man is giving us a new light
-
- What!
-
- Yes, a new light of hope.
-
Ludovido P.Lush. History has given you the place you deserve.
-
- Really?
-
- You're an example of courage and value.
-
And I hope that in the future everyone will visit this toilet.
-
- Thanks so much for your words, Mr. Camerino
-
I'm Ludovico's wife
-
And soon I'll be his widow
-
- You're single, right?
-
- Who are you?
-
-Lucrecia
-
- You are charming!
-
- You're a gentleman
-
- Hey, excuse me, but if you don't mind, I have a bomb here...
-
- That's right.
-
What are we going to do?
-
If Ludovico gets up, the bomb will go off
-
- Our team has found a solution planned for tomorrow
-
- Perfect. Do what's necessary.
-
- Are you sure about that?
-
- Of course.
-
It can't get any worse than this, can it?
-
I need to stop asking that question!
-
- Right now, Ludovico is being transported to the outskirts of the city
-
in order to detonate the bomb in an uninhabited place.
-
To avoid a catastrophe.
-
- The tension is high here in P.Lush City.
-
- The bomb! It'll explode!
-
- Ludovico saved us!
-
- He's a hero!!
-
- He risked his ass to save us!!
-
A few days later...
-
- I want to dedicate this set of blinking eyes to Ludovico P.Lush
-
Here it goes.
-
He's a great man that's become a real hero
-
I'm leaving, but I'll leave you with my friend, Ludo.
-
- Thanks to you, we removed an obstacle against terrorism.
-
- Thanks George.
-
- Dear Heads of State of the World.
-
- In English!
-
- (Fake accent) My formula to neutralize explosives consists of
-
eating two sandwiches with beans for breakfast.
-
Cereal with lots of fiber.
-
4 tacos with lots of cream
-
Lots of beans, very well spread on the bread
-
- That man is the real enemy
-
He's the real enemy, the real infidel
-
You'll pay for this, Ludovico P.Lush
