Máximo?
Isn't this your day off?
It was. But I thought it might be fun to spend it at work.
Oh. Okay. See you at dinner.
Actually, I thought it might also be fun to eat there. Bye!
We have different ideas of fun.
"Sara wins tournament"
My love!
I'm going to the store. Do you want anything?
- No? That's fine. - Wearing a coat?
I get cold flashes!
Those exist?
Turn down the volume!
I'm trying to write!
"The Pink Castle"
Brother, can't you hear me?
I've told you a million times to keep the TV down.
What's up?
Am I disturbing your little "writing routine."
It's not like you ever let anyone read it.
If you see that the juice bottle is empty
don't put it back in the fridge. Please.
That wasn't me!
Okay.
I don't want to fight this morning.
It's a very important day for me.
And for me too!
They're hiring guides at the Tourism Board
and guess who got an interview?!
I'm even going to wear a dress shirt!
By the way, can I borrow a dress shirt?
I'd let you borrow my whole wardrobe
if it gets you a job.
I have one in every color!
It just depends how much chest hair you want to show.
None.
And you'll have to watch Andrés--
WHAT?! No.
No, I can't just bring a kid to work!
You'll figure it out.
I know you're intimately close with the owner. Right?
Not anymore. No.
I'm sorry...
Good morning!
There he is!
Guess what, Andrés!
You're spending the day with your uncle!
At Las Colinas?
Really?!
Yup.
Today you're coming with me.
Look! I even made you a snack for the road.
But listen...
If we're late, we'll miss the bus.
Pick him up right after your interview.
By two at the latest.
Please.
Good luck.
Hey, that's mine, jerk!
Andrés let's go!
Goodbye dad!
Bye, son! I love you.
We're gonna have to run! We're late.
Is that what you want to be when you grow up?
A firefighter?
I wish! But I don't think I can.
And why not?
I'm never going to be brave enough. And...
I still sleep with my lamp on!
Listen to me.
Let this be the last time I hear you say you can't do something.
There's plenty of people who'll tell you your dreams are impossible.
So you can't be your first "no."
Otherwise...
a day will come
when you do want to chase your dreams
but you'll be thirty
and it might be too late to catch them.
Do you understand?
Yes, uncle Héctor.
Good.
What is that you're always writing?
It's a novel. My novel.
I've been working on it for years and...
it's finally finished.
I'm going to share it with a hotel guest.
That's cool! Who is it?!
A very influential book publisher.
You want to be a firefighter, right?
Well, this is kind of like that.
And there's this lady who decides who gets to become a firefighter.
So, I just need five minutes with her to have her read my writing
and convince her I am good enough to become...
a firefighter.
Understand?
Maybe I'll be a doctor.
Being a firefighter sounds complicated.
Look!
This is the Kids Klub.
Wow! Right?
You're going to stay here for a little while
playing and having fun with the other kids.
And then
in a few hours
your dad will come and pick you up.
By the way
this place is only for guests,
so we have to play pretend.
Today, your name is Dylan
Dial it down, dial it down.
Are we still playing pretend?
Yes. And now, we are gonna play hide and seek
and we're gonna find your dad.
You like her!
Keep walking!
I'll be right back. I have a fire to fight.
Ms. Ramírez--
you don't want to stay a little longer?
There's my usual guy.
You abandoned me today.
And on my last visit to Las Colinas.
Forgive me. It was not by design, believe me.
Wait. Did you say this was your last visit here?
My husband and I just bought
a timeshare in Cancún.
I'll miss this place but I should get going.
Well, before you go, please...
I just want to say I'm a huge fan of all the work you publish.
I've seen you change the lives of
many many
many emerging writers
right from this cabana!
Making their stories travel from their...
tiny apartments to the world and--
Okay, okay, okay!
You buttered me up plenty.
What can I do for you?
I just wanted to ask
- If you would-- If you would-- - Leave me alone! I'm looking for my son!
Don't touch me.
What is your problem!
I'm so sorry.
I'll be right back.
Watch it jerk!
I don't need help.
Yes, yes I get it. No judgment.
You give me three beers
and I start doing the Thriller dance--
Memo, I can take it from here.
"Memo, I can take it from here--"
What the hell are you doing?!
- Um... picking up my son? - Well, you're late.
And drunk. Did you even go to your interview?!
Of course!
But there were a bunch of teenagers there
interviewing for the same job!
Do you know how embarrassing that is?!
And It doesn't embarrass you to be unemployed?
I've tried!
But they kept asking all these questions!
Like "why do you have such a big gap in your resume?"
Because I'm raising a child by myself!
"By yourself?!" And I can just screw off, right?
I've been carrying you for years!
Carrying us!
Why do you think I came to México?
To help you.
And everything you do makes my life harder.
Oh, how poetic.
Is this going in one of your little stories?
They're not little stories!
You have no idea what I'm writing.
I don't care.
Let me take Andrés and I'll be gone.
- This place is too pink. - Wait.
I'm not letting you take Andrés like this.
Let him stay with me. He's safer here.
Chad has changed.
And you're both right.
We've just gotten so busy being
Acapulco's newest "power couple"
that we haven't had a lot of time for each other.
Damn our success!
Well, your shop's doing great
and I've got my job down pat.
I have a feeling
that things are about to settle down--
Maybe I spoke too soon.
Did the lady decide to make you a "firefighter"?
Unfortunately, no.
That's a shame.
Come on. Let's go.
It's late.
Can you read me a story?
Oh, Andrés,
you want to hear the one about
the teddy bear in the toy store again?
It's very sad.
What if you read one of yours?
Yeah. Okay.
Why not.
It's called "The Pink Castle".
The clouds part
to make way for a towering pink Castle
protected by a powerful cavalry.
Danger lurks outside the Castle walls!
But for one brave Andalusian Knight
whose curly locks were the envy of the kingdom,
the real risk wasn't spears and swords.
it was love.
His secret love.
For the alluring, sensual,
captivating golden blonde Queen named--
Wait, I think I'm missing a page.
