Pulling Strings Page #3

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.

I didn't see anything. I'll go now.

- Well played, bro.

- No, I...

That's the gringa that didn't look

at you at the embassy, right?

She says she lost a computer.

- Mac or PC?

- It doesn't matter.

Mac. A Mac.

Life can change in a minute, right?

It could be around here.

Did you look back there?

What?

Yes.

Do you want some bread?

Gross, she's throwing up.

Yes, we know that.

Go get ready for school.

Okay, this is strange.

Or something like that.

We'll give her a lift.

Us? Let's see.

Did you score yesterday?

Nobody scored.

Then there's no obligation.

She can ride a cab.

You're very rude.

I've got a plan. Listen.

She denied my visa.

- Yes.

- If I keep her close to me...

...I could convince her. It's for Maria.

You are really stubborn.

Does Ninel work today?

Ninel always works.

If she's calling to the United States,

she's going to finish her credit.

Feel her vibe.

She's going to give bad vibes to Ninel.

I don't speak English

but she doesn't speak well.

Bro, what's that thing

of seeing yourself?

- Decree.

- Yes, but in English.

You go over to my car. Go over then.

Calm down, bro.

Let me guess. She's buying beer

and then she'll give you the visa.

Relax, she's coming back.

You scared me.

- I'm sorry.

- God.

Hi, how are you?

- Fine.

- Good.

I was here last night for the party.

- Last night.

- Oh, yeah.

You were really drunk.

- S, yeah.

- Yes.

I wanted to ask...

...do you have a black computer?

A computer?

- Yes, is it here?

- A briefcase?

You're lucky, blondie.

- I have it right here.

- Is it here?

It's very, very important.

Don't tell me you have a plan.

Of course I got a plan.

While I help get her computer,

I'll show her I deserve the visa.

I fill all the requirements.

Solid income...

...land, family links...

...professional success.

- Yeah, nice plan.

- I know.

And how are you going

to demonstrate that?

What do you mean?

What are friends for?

Here it is.

- Give it back then.

- Okay.

Cosme, it's Alejandro.

How are you?

Hey, Alex!

How are you?

Sure, whatever you ask.

Just in the taxi?

Oh, Alex, you're a mad man.

You know it. Just tell me.

See? Drafted.

Drafted?

We have no money and now...

We're not paying, stupid.

They're friends.

This is strange, Alex.

You're forgetting...

...that girl never asked for your help.

She never said that. Never.

And I think...

I think she's not coming back.

Who are you waving at?

We're not here to flirt.

Not for being polite

I'll stop being horny.

And she's a fine lady.

What are you doing? Canicas!

It's rude not to say hi.

Canicas!

I know...

Where should I drop you?

I have an appointment

for a relaxing massage.
