The Mystery of Happiness (El misterio de la felicidad)

Let’s go.

Good morning.

Hello. Good morning.

Should we launch with major appliances today?

- Talk it over with Eugenio. - Later.

Have Santiago look it over.

Late.

Good morning, right?

Eleventh race! HORSE DISPLAY

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Hell yeah!

Why the long FACE? I’ve just broke up with my partner.

Great call! He was an a-hole No! I broke up with my business partner!

There's not much more to add, we told you what the proposal is.

- It's in the folder we-- - Lorena, the folder, please.

Lorena.

Look at their presentation, with the embossed logo I wanted

that you didn't let me get. Remember?

You went all out. High-density coated paper...

- A fortune. - It's not a big deal.

If you start spending like that, you won't make the budget.

The offer is much better than the market indicates.

Okay, you guys follow the market, I like to follow the customers.

The "market" never came in to buy a juicer.

Okay, we'll give you our answer on Monday.

I won't miss this opportunity, I mean, we won't.

It's a once in a lifetime thing.

The deal isn't worth what they want to pay.

We're not going to sell more than we sell.

Why do you think they want to pay that sum? Your face?

Don't you think we can still grow?

That we can't do a bunch of things?

I don't get it, what do you need the money for?

I lend you some if you need it.

There's always something new to do with cash on you.

You can buy an island, a ranch, a honey farm...

I dream and dream. Don't you have a dream?

Of course, I have many.

Like?

I like the life I lead, that we lead.

Go to our store, open it, have breakfast...

have a mid-morning coffee with you, serve the customers, play paddle,

look up people's credit score.

Don't you like this life?

Yes.

Look. Number eight runs in the next race.

Yes, Ricardo's riding.

- Let's bet a hundred each? - Let's do it.

Come on eight!

Come on eight! Come on eight!

And there's the kick-off! Lavezzi loses the ball...

My sister is coming on Sunday, we'll be many more.

How many?

I don't know. Many.

Many, many.

Aren't so many a mess? Doesn't it complicate things?

No, not complicated at all. I like us to be many.

Yeah, but calculating for so many, how many appetizers, how much meat,

I'd go nuts, I swear.

- You make the barbecue for everyone? - Yeah, yeah.

With my sister-in-law's husband.

We start early with a small fire using hard wood.

It smells lovely in the morning.

And then I add soft wood, rosemary...

How nice.

You put in sausages and short ribs, or do you add anything else?

No, I add a variety of meats and sausages,

and some are crazy about grilled intestines.

- I've never tried them. - Oh, they're tasty.

- You guys have to come some day. - Sure.

Where do you live?

A little after Calzada.

- Hey. - What?

It's not right.

I'm tired of it, it's not right.

It's the fifth time I see the doorman making out in the storage room

with one of the maids.

I don't know who she was, I think she's from apartment 2E.

I didn't get a good look at her, but I saw him perfectly.

I almost saw his "thing", he was fussing with his zipper,

it looked enor--

I don't know, the poor guy must be ill.

What's the name of that illness where you have enlarged limbs?

- Elephantiasis. - What?

- Elephantiasis. - Elephantiasis, right.

There was an artist who had it in his hands.

- Rivero. - Who?

Edmundo Rivero, right.

Well, I think this man has the same, but down there.

Imagine if one of the kids go down and see him.

Their parents lied to them about the stork,

and if that's the first one they see, they'll be confused for life.

That TV presenter, the bland one,

with the ugly nose and nice eyes, they say he has that.

What's his name?

There's a very good offer to sell the business.

Sell it. We have to sell it.

It must be a lot of money.

It should be enough to buy a farm and put it all in soy,

and if you want, in those honeycombs you've always wanted.

And carry the syringe with you, in case you get that shock.

What's it called? When a lot of bees sting you.

- Anaphylactic. - Anaphylactic, right.

And maybe take a trip,

and put money into many CDs, many,

with different payout dates.

I can supervise with a calendar to see when they come to term,

so we can reinvest them.

I can take care of that every morning.

You can't spend your whole life in that business

giving people credit lines so they can buy heaters or blenders.

We have to sell. It's the right moment to sell.

If not, when?

Who are those guys

that want to put so much money in a little business like yours?

Must be one of those funds that needs to launder money.

Do you think the offer they made us is good?

I know these types.

They don't want the business.

They want our name.

- Our track record. - It's possible.

Forget it, I've been thinking about it the whole time.

We have to expand the business,

take advantage of how many clients we have, and expand ourselves.

I realized they want our clients, but not to sell to them,

to lend them money.

They'll turn this into a financial business.

- It's possible. Yeah. - I'm sure of it.

As if we're going to sell now, that's nuts.

Sometimes it takes someone from the outside to know your worth.

Right?

You don't think so?

Did you make the dinner reservations?

Yes, early, so the stew is nice and warm.

Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to break his leg?

- They're such sons of bitches. - You'll never make it anyway.

How's it going?

Come on, Eugenio! Come on!

You know what you have to do?

Try it again and call me.

Iransoki says that 80 of the juicers sent to Santa Fe aren't working.

I told him they were all working when we sent them,

so he should stick them up his ass because I won't take them back.

I don't like talking that way, I'm a lady,

but if I don't, Iransoki takes advantage of you.

Any news of Eugenio?

No, nothing.

Why don't you call his wife, I'm sure she knows.

Don't ask me to do that.

I'm worried.

You call her.

It's just a short call, "Hi, Laura, how's Eugenio?"

Neither short nor long, I won't call her.

I talk with Eugenio and you.

The lady isn't a customer nor a provider,

so I can't talk to her.

Santiago.

Sign these tax papers.

No, Eugenio signs this.

But he's not here.

The person you are trying to reach is currently not available.

The person you are trying to reach is currently not available.

Don't worry, he'll show up in the morning.

I called him all day, and he didn't answer.

The calls go straight to voicemail, and it's not his voicemail.

Where is he?

How could I know where a guy like him could be?

He goes from home to work and back.

But in 20 years, some fun or a young girl...

No, I would know. I'd be the first to know, the first.

I do have a fling, you know?

Go ahead. With Tucho?

No, with another guy.

Another guy? Which one?

Another guy that Patricia passed on to me.

You guys pass along the guys?

We pass along the information.

Oh, and how's this guy?

Have you seen the big water bottles?

Yes.

Don't worry, he'll show up.

Yes? We're closing, ma'am.

- It's for an exchange. - No, we're closed.

But we can do it quickly.

Okay, come in, please.

Thank you.

Oh, there's new merchandise.

Yes, some.

Can I take a look?

You really like to play.

And you don't? Yes, but I don't feel like it today.

- Then let me play. - Oh, God.

Don't worry, it's not a big deal.

What's wrong?

Eugenio isn't around, he hasn't showed up all day,

he doesn't answer his phone, I don't...

Well, maybe he's busy.

And I wouldn't know?

- Did you call his family? - He doesn't have a family.
