Pulling Strings Page #2

Synopsis: Rachel is an intelligent, modern-day woman constantly on the move. Primarily focused on her career as a diplomatic consul for the U.S. embassy, she's literally lived her life on the move, globe-trotting from city to city. Currently working in Mexico City and set to leave for London, Rachel's world turns upside down on the eve of her own goodbye party when she gets drunk and passes out on the street. Saved by Alejandro, a handsome Mariachi singer and single father, Rachel wakes up in his apartment with no recollection of how she got there. Nor does she remember that she rejected his visa the day before, which he desperately needs for his daughter. Romance unexpectedly blossoms between the two, but either sparks or fists will fly after she finds out his secret.

How are you today, Mr. Gus?

Hey, Alex!

- Canicas!

- Hey, Cosme. How are you, Mr. Gus?

What do you say, Alex? One match?

No, I watch my money.

I came to see if it's ready.

It's more than ready.

You should take better care of it.

Wow, this is amazing, Mr. Gus.

What did you do?

It's better than new.

We'll break the tie later, Mr. Gus.

- Sure, Cosme.

- Good to see you, Alex.

Don't leave, Cosme.

Canicas, I'm glad

you are still growing up.

Just look at you.

Somebody stole a taxi from you

around the corner.

Let's go.

Is that one of yours?

It's one I'm composing.

He's been composing it for two years.

Alex doesn't want to compose anymore.

Since Maricruz...

No, no.

Let's give this guy a chance.

And that's how inspiration works.

It comes when you least expect it.

No, Mr. Gus, inspiration exists...

...but it always finds you working.

And my friend doesn't want to do it.

He has a block.

And he's a great composer,

but lately he's just a drama queen.

Come on.

Hello. Good morning.

Let's do it!

Canicas, that's the gringa

who denied my visa.

The blond?

She stared at me.

Pretended she didn't know me.

Like they deal with so many people

at the embassy.

You have to go there and sing.

Shine. You have to shine.

Make her regret denying your visa.

You know something?

I have something to tell you

And I don't know how to start explaining.

What I want to tell to you.

Maybe with a rose

I can convey this to you.

When will you bring me my black woman?

I want to see her here.

With her silk shawl.

I thank the heavens.

For letting me meet you.

For letting me meet you.

I thank the heavens.

The beautiful feeling.

I felt.

Canicas, boss, with an S.

Canicas with an S, as in "stupid. "

This thing is over. Let's go.

I'm Canica for you.

You can call me whatever you want.

Damn.

Look at this.

You look so serious denying visas

and now you're all drunk in the streets.

That's right.

So...

Blondie.

Let's go!

- Like a dog?

- Let's go!

Come on. Like a dog!

Denying visas and I try to help her.

Damn, bro.

Thank you!

Could you take me...?

Hey, guys, good night.

She drank too much.

She drank too much.

We come from Garibaldi, from work.

Damn, come on.

If your girlfriend pukes in my car,

you'll pay for the car wash.

- Yeah, sure.

- Where are you going?

Don't shake her up.

I guess you're having

an international guest at home tonight.

Who's this?

Hello?

Is this the ant roller skate factory?

I have a problem.

My house is full of ants...

...and they all want their roller skates...

That means "oh, my God," Dad.

You better get ready for school.

- In a case where the...

- I brought some bread. Oh, sorry.

The door was open.
