Chespirito: Not Really on Purpose

But how long is a year?

Long enough for me to be able to take care of the three of them again, son.

I don't understand.

Look, when you finish second grade,

you're going to come home with me and your brothers.

What if I fail?

No, no, you're not going to fail.

What if my uncles don't like me?

No...

Of course they'll like you.

In her letter, your aunt tells me that they are happy to have you.

Bus bound for Durango,

Please board!

Don't worry, Mrs. Bolaños.

We will take you to your destination.

Thanks.

Bus to Veracruz!

Are you going to take this hat?

I need it.

Okay, that's fine.

I'm going to miss you.

Me too, son.

Here, please.

Everyone ready?

Bus to Guadalajara!

The point is, they're offering me a program to do there.

Hook to the liver.

I don't even know what to tell you, bro.

They're offering me too much.

A lot more than I'm making now.

And The Chifladitos?

And Lucas Tañeda?

I know it can...

You're recognized for that today!

He's a great character.

Are you going to give up?

They're also offering me the opportunity to direct and write there.

I know I'm making you look bad,

but I've always spoken the truth to you.

I think this is an opportunity that suits me.

Okay.

I think it's a dirty move on the part of the competition.

And I'm definitely going to miss you a lot.

But it's the best they can do.

What?

Stealing talented people.

Look, I wouldn't want to come across as ungrateful.

On the contrary, Rubén.

I'm the one who's grateful to you here.

And we're not married.

You have the right to build your career as you see fit.

Thank you very much, really.

I think this is an opportunity

- that will make me grow. - No, don't grow anymore, please.

And you're not as short as you are tall.

Not just anyone would do what you do.

Have common sense and empathy?

If you want to come back,

The doors are always open to me.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

There's no cheese...

Just potato.

Shall I interrupt?

No. I'm done hearing the bad news.

I guess you already know.

Didn't you tell him about me?

You too, asshole?

I'm leaving too, my brother.

We're both leaving.

I just didn't have any more chances.

And besides, we start next month.

Good luck.

Roberto, that's how this business works.

Now we need your help to think

about who can replace Rubén.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

Look, it's not that difficult, is it, Roberto?

The actor who played Lucas Tañeda left.

We need another actor for the same role.

The Lord is giving you the opportunity

- to be part of that election. - Thank you!

But no.

- No one else can play that character. - And why not?

Because I wrote that character

for Rubén, thinking of Rubén. He's Rubén's.

No one else can play that character.

He can't have any other face.

Roberto, you have to understand

that what's in continuity is the character, not the actor.

The character is over.

And what are you going to put in? Because we urgently need to fill that space. Or not, sir?

From the head that gave birth to Lucas Tañeda

and all my other characters,

many more can be born.

Are you going to write something new?

Yes, sir.

Do you like your room?

There are many children who live around here.

Do you want to go play?

Go play with them.

Catch him!

Look, the teddy bear is talking here.

Hi, how are you?

Yes.

It's going to eat you.

Who wants to come to the park?

- Me. - Me!

I'm going too.

- I'll stay and take care of Paulina. - I'll help you.

Those of us who are going, let's go,

and those of you who are staying, stay.

Which one are you going to get on first?

That one.

Roberto, wait for me!

Daughter, where is your brother?

I've already lost sight of him.

Why am I keeping quiet?

He's ready!

Earthquake. Where's your brother?

I can't find him.

I don't know, I think he was somewhere around here.

Let's see, let's go look for him.

Come on.

- Roberto? - Where is he?

There he is!

How badly he hides.

Champ, you got away from me!

No, he was here.

Will you buy me a balloon?

I want one too.

- Do you want a balloon too? - Yes.

Let's go buy balloons. Let's go!

Follow me, good guys!

- I want this one. - No.

I want this one.

Let's see, wait.

Wait!

- I'll give it to you! Wait! - No!

Don't grab the balloons, I'll give them to you!

No, I want that one over there.

That one over there.

I want this one.

Let's see, wait. I'll give it to you.

- I saw it first! - Wait!

Let's see, girl!

Wait. I'll give it to you.

I want this one!

Let's see, don't be pulling them.

I'll give it to you!

I'll give it to you.

Are you going to decide?

This one. I want this one.

What do you think is so funny?

I want that one!

Wait!

I'll give it to you.

I want that one over there.

Me! Me!

I'll give it to you!

Are you going to decide?

And what do you find so funny?

I want that one.

Without touching the balloons.

What are you laughing at?

What are you laughing at? Which one do you want?

The red one? This one?

This one? I'm going. No, no, no.

Are you going to decide to buy a balloon, or are you just going to be silly?

I want this one.

I'm not giving you another one just because your dad's there.

No, kid.

Here you go.

No, no, no. I want this one!

Balloons, balloons!

Bring your balloons!

No, no, no! Just don't touch it!

Don't touch the balloons!

Marce caught something and her fever hasn't gone down.

I brought you a sandwich.

Please eat something.

Thank you, Ñequita.

Aunt, when will I be able to see my mom?

Why? Aren't you happy here?

I'm scared.

Of what?

One day my dad didn't come back.

And the other days, neither.

I promise you, you'll see your mom again.

But right now you need to eat.

Are you hungry?

Yes. A lot.

What do you fancy?

A ham sandwich.

Look, kid, if you're not going to buy a balloon, go bother your grandma!

Something like that?

That's it!

Because you're going to be dealing with a very upset child.

No, no. But where are you going to get the child?

Nowhere.
