Between Walls (Entre paredes)

That's Lauro.

Hi.

You… you don't have power either, do you?

Yeah, in this neighborhood, the power goes out every month,

so it was causing a lot of problems with my work deadlines…

and well, I either had to move or get a backup generator.

So, here I am, yeah.

Uh. And-- It's just, can I take advantage of this?

Could you help me, uh, charge my phone?

Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, of course. Uh…

Really? May I? Yeah?

-Yeah, it's okay. -I'll pass it to you over the balcony.

- -

-Let me. I'll charge it, don't worry. -

What's up with the neighbor?

You just got a message from someone named Kari saying,

-"What's up with the neighbor?" -Uh, no…

- Okay. -No. Ignore it.

Got it. There's another that says, "Please tell me you already did the deed."

No. Don't charge it. I'll go get it. Yes.

No, no, no. All right, all right. You're absolutely right.

- All right… -Hey, I really like your friend Kari.

- All right, give it back. -No way! Did you really steal her mask?

I mean, you agree that…

Well, who dresses up as a giant rabbit like that?

It's really creepy, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very-- It's a real mystery.

You know, all the neighbors have seen her, but none of us actually know who she is.

In fact, we've even recorded her, like, in the act, and still, nothing.

The thing is, the videos are really hilarious.

I'll send them to you later.

-Hey, but are you not scared? - Yes.

I mean, there are some really weird people in this building, right?

It's good that you bring that up because, you know,

the new neighbor loves jumping from balcony to balcony.

-Oh, please. -Yeah, it's what they say.

Wait. Wait, it wasn't from balcony to balcony.

It was-- Look, it was just from here downwards.

And actually, if you look at it, it doesn't seem that difficult.

-But yeah, it's pretty crazy. -Yeah, a little.

Hey, I really wanted to apologize for sending the cops your way

-the other day. -Hmm.

I mean, put yourself in my shoes.

It really seemed like there was a serious fight going on,

-like it was a murder or something. - All right.

I mean, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

And then I realized it was you and saw how pissed off you were,

and I thought…

"I don't know if I should go apologize or just disappear from the building."

- No. -I swear I was this close to moving out.

If we're doing this, I also went overboard with the cilantro, didn't I?

- I'm so embarrassed. - It's okay.

Hey, but seriously. Truce? Friends again? Yes?

-All right. -

All right. Let's see, uh, truce? Here you go. Done.

-Here you go. Done. -

-Thanks. -It's okay.

- -

God damn it!

-That's Lauro, right? -I know.

-Well, then, here we go. - Hmm.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

- - Hey.

I feel like our first date kind of…

Well, there was a spark, right? It was special.

But honestly, I wasn't-- I didn't have any expectations and I wasn't looking

for anything serious.

Yeah. I see where this is going.

And yeah, well, you're absolutely right.

That night, I said I was looking for something serious, but…

yeah, I was just having a really good time.

I was also having a really good time.

- Hmm. -It's just that,

being this close right now feels awkward, right?

I think we're better off as good neighbors and that's it. Hmm?

Besides, you know what?

You can hear everything… …we do in the apartments.

Well, at least I can hear everything you do.

Like, the other day, when your girlfriend or friend or whatever came over.

- -

-The ruckus you guys made. - Hey, neighbor, uh…

- -…I have some work to catch up on.

So, I have to go work, uh…

But we were just chilling and having a drink.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but I really need to get back to work

-and finish those tasks. Uh. - We've just started.

I mean, I just poured myself a drink, for you too, we're enjoying the moment.

I mean, if you don't want to stay, that's fine.

Uh, I mean, the power's still out.

No. That's it, exactly.

What… what really scares you is the dark. That's it.

It's not that I'm afraid of the dark. I just-- Well, I wanted to hang out

for a bit, but if you don't want to, it's fine.

All right, no, no, no, it's fine. I mean, look, don't worry,

you won't be sleeping alone. We're practically sleeping together.

The only thing between us is the wall, so if anything happens,

like if someone grabs your feet or something, just scream,

-I'll jump over and come to your rescue. -Hmm.

- Hmm? Okay. -Thanks, neighbor.

All right. Oh, right. Your… your phone.

Oh, yeah, my phone.

All right, done.

-It charged a bit, and… -Thanks.

Also, so your phone doesn't die, I brought you a little something.

Wow.

To help you remember your childhood in the best way possible.

-Thanks. -No. You're welcome. Uh, good night.

- -

Huh? Oh, that's cold.

BETWEEN WALLS

- That's weird. - I find her really interesting,

honestly.

I'm excited to meet your neighbor, Marga.

Well, it's just, uh, so bizarre, right? I don't get it.

All right, find out who the bunny is. I want to know.

Really? I don't…

Ladies, I'd just like to give you my humble opinion.

-Yeah? - I think if you can't find

the perfect place for my party,

you should probably consider a different career.

Just saying.

Look, I think it's more like you don't know what you want.

-Excuse me? -No!

Yes, you don't know what you want.

Look, I was super-clear from the start, okay?

The first place you showed me was super "Whitexican."

Do you want me to get canceled again?

-I don't want you to be canceled. - Oh, well,

it looked like something out of a princess fairy tale.

No! And don't even mention the kids' party hall full of bedbugs.

I need something never used before,

that's intimate, casual, exclusive.

-Okay. -Are you trying to shut me up?

Uh, also, it's a-- No. Marga, Marga, Marga, Marga!

- What? -Marga, Vladi is there.

-Vladi, Vladi. -Who?

My boyfriend from high school, my… my boyfriend, my first kiss,

my first crush, my first… The nipple guy, dude!

-Oh! Vladimir Márquez, girl. -Yeah, Márquez, girl.

He got really handsome, huh?

Well, gotta admit, she has good taste, honestly.

-Yeah! - Wait, wait.

-Cover me, cover me, cover me. -Was he really your first kiss?

I swear. First kiss. The Ajusco. Do you remember?

-It was playing spin the bottle. - Hey!

-Yeah, that's right! - Remember?

-I made out with Sebastián. - Oh…

What a shame he doesn't like women anymore.

-He was hot. - Mm-hmm.

-Kari! What are you doing? -What are you doing?

- Kari? - I'm looking for his profile

on the app.

- Which app, dude? -In LoveBee?

- Close that app. -Yeah, in LoveBee.

He's right there. Go and say hi.

Yes, he's here! Here he is. Vladimir Márquez, 35, single.

-Oh, no, bingo! I mean… -

…she found a boyfriend, and I still don't have a venue for my party.

Marga, seriously, this isn't going to work, huh?

Wait, wait, wait. Calm down, okay? Do you trust me?

I guess.

Okay. I have the perfect place for you.

Oh!

-All right. Watch this. Yes. -All right. Watch out for this hole here.

Okay. So, while I was in the car, I made a document explaining

all the possible ways we can make use of this place, all right?

I'll send it to you.

Whoa!

But the main thing is, don't freak out, okay?

Uh… …you really need to use your imagination, all right?

But a lot…

- What's this, dude? - Uh…

- -

Okay, okay.

I just hope the trip here is worth it because you're about to miss out

on the party of a lifetime.

And you're a flight of stairs away from discovering the venue of your dreams.

-Uh-huh. -Do you trust me?

It feels kind of vintage. Right? Don't you feel it?

Wow!

-Patrisha… - Oh, my God.

If you want, I can… I can explain

a bit about what I have in mind. Uh.

Pashfans.

- -Hi, my Pashfans.

Many of you have been asking for details about my birthday party,

and honestly, after many days of working all day long,

we finally found the perfect venue!

I can't wait for you to see it, but no cheating. We're almost there, okay?

How did you know I love orchids?

You're the best!

You're the coolest person ever! That's what you are.

- This is perfect! -Hey!

- Oh, my God! - She loved it!
