Envious (Envidiosa)

- Why going to Cascadita? -Uh… just a girls' trip.

The exact same place Matías is going. Some coincidence, no?

Don't be so mysterious, Fernanda.

Enough of these veiled accusations.

If you think I'm going 'cause I'm jealous, give it to me.

-I don't think it's 'cause you're jealous. -Why am I going then?

No idea. You tell me.

- -

Caro?

My blood sugar feels low. I'm getting a snack.

-Lu. -

-I'm sorry. -What's wrong?

You wanna grab some food? We're here for a while.

No, no. My breath doesn't smell, does it?

No, it doesn't.

-Um… -You want anything?

-Yeah, um… I dunno, maybe-- -Wait, it smells.

Oh, yeah, it does.

Surprise me. A banana, some water. I'm as dry as a camel.

-Water would be great. -I'll bring you something.

Anyway, that's enough on the soccer talk.

Four-four-two is the only serious formation.

I'm hoping for a male perspective on something.

You see this person?

Mm.

-What would you rate her? -I know her. She's that famous chef.

-She is a chef, but not famous. -Sure she is, she was a model.

My wife and I watch her show a lot.

Is that so? Some relationship you have.

-Yeah, nice. -I bet. Now rate her.

Eight and a half.

-You think this is 8.5? -Mm-hmm.

They let you drive a bus with that eyesight?

You do know you're responsible for all our lives, don't you?

I mean, Jesus, you guys really need to start switching off between trips.

You're hallucinating. This is ridiculous.

You should be ashamed.

Completely ashamed.

Wow, look at this place!

Just close your eyes and taste that delicious fresh air!

I had no idea this was such a trendy spot.

Mm.

If you want, we could do a little photo shoot later.

Are you insane? We came here to rest and relax.

Of course we came here to relax.

-Welcome, ladies. This is the room. -Thank you.

Okay. I'll leave you guys two sets of keys over here.

- Beautiful. -And the remote for the AC.

If you need anything, let me know.

- Okay. - This room is great. Seriously.

-I did have a question. -Yes?

As far as activities in the complex go, tell us what there is to do.

Sure!

Two different types of hiking trails in the area,

which are super nice.

You'll find them there on the map.

Yeah, look. There's a lake, and a place to camp, you see.

-Different places we can go. -Can we go hiking?

-I haven't hiked in a while. -Yeah.

Wait, I didn't bring hiking shoes.

Maybe you could find me something other than designer stilettos?

-I can't wear these. -That'd be a disaster. What size?

Size seven.

I'm sure we can find you something.

If not, we have other available options.

Our birdwatching tour, for example, is very popular.

-The guide is a local. He's great. -Birdwatching. Come on.

No, I hate birds…

If you like the idea, I'll let the guide know.

-He'll pick you up whenever you like. - Sure.

When you get the shoes, could you try to match the colorimetry of my outfit?

As far as colorimetry is concerned, I can't make any promises.

But I can promise better shoes, don't worry.

I'll reach out to the guide. He'll come get you.

Thank you.

-It's Matías! -

-Video call? -Video call.

-Answer. -Yeah.

-Answer. -In the bathroom.

Oh, yeah.

She means 'cause I poop after a trip. That's a good idea.

-Hey, my love. How's it going? - Good, honey.

It's going great. We're getting started.

I'm welcoming our first influencers, so it's chaos.

-Sounds great. -I can't believe this place.

Spectacular, so much green. Caro would be in heaven.

Yeah, I can imagine. How did yesterday go?

Yesterday was wild. We laughed our asses off and ate a ton.

I slept like a rock. It's like a mini vacation.

-Where are you? A bathroom? -Yeah. The bathroom at Lu's.

I have to go, we're getting started. Sending you a kiss, say hi to Lu.

Love you, honey. We'll talk later. Bye.

'Kay Matías, love you too.

If we're very lucky, we'll see several native species.

-Amazing. -We have to leave.

-Why? -First, because of these boots.

They're size 12 and look horrible. I can't walk.

Secondly, when I spoke to Matías, he was so sweet.

He seemed so happy with his work.

If he finds out I'm here, I'll break his heart.

Sweetie, we're not doing anything wrong.

We came to relax, and to relax, we need to be at ease.

So why did we come here?

We came to find out if being at ease is even possible.

I had a Fernanda dream. We talked.

What'd she tell you?

If you were truly jealous, you wouldn't have let him go without causing a scene.

Maybe I'm not that jealous.

Maybe I don't want to have a cheater's baby.

You don't want to have a cheater's baby?

Smells like shit to me.

If he is a cheater, I don't want to have a baby with him.

-You sure? -About the baby?

I don't know, you tell me.

I think you went to Cascadita looking for something else.

Like what?

I don't get it.

Besides, technically, it wasn't Fernanda. It was you talking to yourself.

-I'm telling myself what she'd say. -How do you know what she'd say?

Because I know her.

-Whatever I do, she's in my head. -Pfft. Good thing you stopped going.

Why waste money if you know what she'd say?

Are you on estrogen?

-Yes, so what? -There you go.

-Yeah? -It's the estrogen, of course.

It makes you sensitive, sort of crazy, increases your…The iras-- irrit--

Irascibility.

Irascibility. Simple.

Am I jealous of Lola, or just not okay with myself?

-Like, just insecure? -Ooh…

Profundity must be another side effect of the estrogen.

What we're doing is wrong.

No, no, it's totally crazy.

My relationship can't take another hit. We have to go, end of story.

Fine, if you're not sure, we should go.

The woods bordering the lake here

are the best place to see all the species of birds in the area.

- Ah! - No reception whatsoever.

I think it's the trees that are blocking my signal.

Can't we move further away?

Why move away from the trees

when we came to see the birds that live in the trees?

Oh, yeah. The birds, right.

The ovenbird, for example, is commonly seen here.

Those are so cute!

Those little houses you see there are made by ovenbirds using twigs and feathers.

-Only the females make the houses, right? -True.

What? The males don't do anything?

Well, they sound awesome.

-Look, there's a female right there. -Where?

-The brown one. Look close. -Where?

-There. -I see it!

Yes, I see her! There she is, I got her!

She's not eye-catching, but she's very intelligent.

Show us some that are eye-catching. These are sort of a drag.

- Victoria. Please. - She's not wrong.

We can't see her intelligence.

Unfortunately, this whole area is being overrun by cuckoos.

And in this particular species, the females are thieves.

They steal the ovenbirds' nests with their young inside.

They get displaced, it's very sad.

I don't get the part about the nest-stealers.

-How come they steal? -What's not to get?

Like they told us at school.

Some don't make their own nests, they steal from others.

-They're parasitic, aren't they? -Exactly.

-I missed a lot of classes. -I remember.

Cuckoos in this area are particularly daring.

They sound very daring to me. And doesn't the male do anything?

I don't understand.

There's nest stealers around,

and the male won't defend the bird 'cause she's ugly?

-They're called ovenbirds. -The male does nothing.

He won't because the cuckoo is so seductive.

She has a big, beautiful tail.

It's very eye-catching, and when the male sees her, well…

They're all idiots. They see a tail and they're gone.

-That's how it is. -It's horrible what they do.

Really, it's just awful. I don't understand.

-Can't they fumigate these psychopaths? -Fumigate?

They're birds. They're not cockroaches.

-But they're evil. -Yeah.

They're no-good nest stealers.

Think of that other bird.

She gave that nest all her love,

picking her beak into the ground for bits of dirt and dust.

Grow up, Vicky, they're not bad. It's just nature.

Well, nature could do much better.

Calm down before you start seeing Fernanda.

Sorry, fauna is near to my heart.

I don't know what it is, but this struck a chord inside me.

I swear, sometimes I want to make fauna my middle name.

Victoria Fauna Mori.

-Is there any food? I feel faint. -Can we feed her?

Just ahead there's a gazebo with a delicious lunch waiting for us.

-Over there? -Oh, how nice. Let's go.

Uh, let's go.

I won't let myself become the bird that has its nest stolen and dies.

I'll put up a fight.

Why did he have to tell you all that? Is this about Lola again?
