[shower running]
[Samu] Omar!
[knocking on door]
[Samu] Omar!
C'mon. You're not the only one who lives here.
[continues knocking]
[takes a deep breath] Omar, fuckin' come on.
[Omar] This is Bilal. I told you about him.
[tense music playing]
Why is this guy here?
I mean, dude, he needed to crash somewhere.
-And you didn't check with me first? -Samuel, this is also my house.
Sure. [sighs]
I dunno. Next time, tell me.
[Omar] C'mon.
-[Patrick] I'm so fucking hungover. -[Mencía] Does your head hurt?
-[Patrick sighs] -[Mencía] Crazy night, huh?
-[Patrick] It was intense. -Hi, hi.
-[Mencía] Look. Speak of the devil. -[Ari sighs]
You sleep over at Samuel's?
[juice pouring]
-Yeah, why? -[Patrick] No reason.
-Wait till Dad makes an appearance. -We'll see if he talks to you.
'Cause since we got home, he hasn't said a word.
-[Patrick] Mm. -Good morning.
Have a good time with Samuel last night?
Mm… Yeah, I guess it was okay.
What do you mean, "okay"?
That's an underwhelming review of an orgy.
-[Benjamín scoffs] -[energetic music playing]
All right, go shower and get changed. I don't want you to be late for the exam.
[music fades]
-It's a multiple-choice test. -['80s music playing]
[Benjamín] A drug test.
A negative result will add two points to your grade point average.
Get a positive result… and you'll be expelled.
-[Rebe] He can't. -Questions?
-[students murmuring] -[Rebe] This is stupid.
-[chatter stops abruptly] -[upbeat '80s music continues playing]
Just wonderful, dude. Just wonderful.
So, with the little prince, what happens in Triesen stays in Triesen.
But you're gonna screw us plebs over for what we do in our private lives?
You got the wrong bitch, partner.
[Phillipe] I'm in this class too.
And I was at the party, so I also refuse to take it.
[class murmuring]
[Phillipe sighs]
[quietly] Come on.
Patrick.
[whispering] Let's go.
-[guy] This isn't fair. -[Ari] I'm not taking it, either.
Otherwise, what? Are you gonna expel the entire school?
If necessary, then yes.
Come on. Chill out. He's totally bluffing.
Hey, Omar, can you not?
Let him do the test.
You really think he'll kick you all out?
You think he'll get rid of his cash cows who pay for his screens in the hallways,
little cameras, and metal detectors?
Come on. I'm the only one who didn't go, and I'm on scholarship.
So, go ahead, Benjamín. Do the test.
[Samu] Dude, seriously. Shut up.
[Omar sighs]
[Benjamín] Okay.
Since it seems the class who rebels together stays together,
I'm going to ask you to stick together once more to make a decision.
Now we're gonna vote
via the school intranet, and voting will be compulsory.
You'll have to choose a student, someone from within your class,
and whoever's elected…
Well, that student will be expelled on the remainder's behalf.
-[guy] Seriously? -[Benjamín] Because somebody has to pay.
[Rebe] Is this guy for real?
-Why is he doing this? -[Rebe] What the fuck?
-Everyone, shh. Please calm down! -[class hushes]
[Benjamín] You're the ones who will be making the final decision.
Oh, and, uh, García,
congratulations on sticking to your guns against the peer pressure
and not being emotionally manipulated into standing up with the others.
It would be a shame if a student like García were expelled, while others,
who have zero interest in the common good
and no viable plans for the future,
were to remain.
[gentle music playing]
[students murmuring]
-[Ari sighs] -[Rebe] Son of a bitch.
-Why rile him up like that? -Someone needed to take a stand.
'Cause, clearly, you're not going to.
What?
-Nothing. -What's the matter?
You agree with him, don't you? You think I should go.
I think it wouldn't hurt you as much as the others.
That's what I think.
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music grows to a crescendo]
My father has that power.
He pushes you. He's demanding.
And he's never quite satisfied with you.
You get to the point where you try…
anything to gain his approval.
[suspenseful music fades]
[Greta] I think wanting to be his friend
is just a convenient and easy way for you to…
to stay close to him while telling yourself
and the rest of the world that you're not into him at all.
No, I don't think so.
Well, you don't have to agree with me.
Just with yourself.
[glass squeaks]
-[indistinct chatter] -[door opens]
[Phillipe sighs]
-Talk to you soon? -Sure.
[Greta] Mm-hmm?
[Greta] Good morning.
Good morning.
Hey, I'm honestly sorry about last night.
-[quietly] Apology accepted. -[somber music playing]
Caye, come on.
[indistinct chatter]
-[computers chime] -Hello, fellow goddesses.
Sorority call.
I want-- No.
I need to
make you reflect on your excuses for kicking a classmate out of school.
[Isadora chuckles]
-You hear everything in bathrooms. -What the hell?
[Isadora] And I know that some of you ladies
intend to vote for Phillipe to kick him out of school
based on wild accusations that are totally unfounded.
That's wrong.
And, you know, that's despite him standing up to authority
like everyone else did.
Okay?
I, as a very special friend of Phillipe's…
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
…I have to say that he is simply a gentleman from head to toe.
Cayetana? She's supporting him.
Guys, come on.
So, that makes not one but now two women
who know him intimately
and who believe in his right to redeem himself.
And, babes, if you thought the whole monarchy thing is medieval,
let me tell you that retro is very much in.
But burning someone at the stake without evidence isn't exactly chic .
Right?
-Okay, bye. -[button clicks]
[students murmuring]
Hey, uh, what'd you mean by "special friend"?
-You're welcome. -But you and I barely know each other.
Baby, I told you, if they think there's something going on,
you'll stop being a rapist and go back to being a prince.
The darling of Spain and Triesen.
The public eats it up when they see a couple
that's young, rich, famous, good-looking.
And I swear to you, these kids will forget everything
to buy into that fairy tale.

ALMODÓVAR FILM SEASON
You're into that director, aren't you?
-You know who Almodóvar is? -No idea. I just saw it on your Insta.
It's so you'll forgive me.
I was trying not to hurt you, but I hurt you three times as much.
So, what is this? A date?
No, man. It's me making plans with friends.
I'm inviting people from my class and from your class as well.
Just to get everything clear up front. So no drama. [chuckles]
[Patrick sighs]
Come on, give me a hug. I know you're dying to.
[girls chattering and laughing]
Who are your plans with?
[scoffs] People. None of your damn business.
The girl from last night?
Yeah, I went to the party.
-And I saw you with her. -[Rebe] Okay, fine.
Her name's Jess.
You could say she's my first dyke friend… and invited me to my first dyke party.
A lot of pretty dykey firsts to be honest.
Well, let's go to the drive-in.

And
then I'll go with you
to that dykey party with this so-called Jess.
Only if you wanna.
You serious?

[Samu] Hey, Omar.
I'm sorry I assumed you didn't care about anything.
We don't really shoot the shit anymore.
We're spending more time together than ever.
At the house, at the restaurant, and at school, but
we don't talk anymore.
[quietly] Oh my God. Why am I getting so intense? Jesus.
[cell phone chimes]
Omar, I'm stopping by the house to change for the drive-in.
You maybe wanna…
Maybe just hang out in the plaza?
Have some beers and sunflower seeds like we used to?

-Should I reveal his weaknesses? -Jesus Christ.
[Ari chuckles]
[scoffs] Why does everyone assume that I'm gay?
Oh, honey. You can like whoever. You don't need to put a label on it.
But I saw how hard you got.
Maybe it's not for him.
No, of course not. Because you're a macho alpha male.
Look, I mean, I get that your dad plays soccer and all that and--
Let's stop putting a label on it.

-Hi. How are you? Two orange juices. -[server] Hi there.
Do you have any vodka?
How come I'm sick of the '80s and '90s when I was born in the 2000s?
[Isadora] Baby, can we go to the car and listen to music from this century?
Wait. No, I like this song.

Well, that's exactly why, Cayetana. Right there.
So she knows she doesn't have any power over me.

-[Mencía chuckles softly] -[car door opens]

EXPULSION VOTING
Come on. Can't we have a little bit of fun?
[Samu sighs]
How?
-It's too much. -[Ari sighs]
[Samu] First, Omar lied to me and then left me hanging.
Now there's this whole voting thing.
And I also feel like I'm letting your dad down, you know?
I was wondering when you'd mention my father.
Samuel, do you think Iván and Patrick are thinking about my dad in this moment?
[speaking indistinctly]
[excited, indistinct chatter]
BAD EDUCATION
[Ari takes a deep breath]
Look, just never mind. I'm gonna go and get some food.
["Nacidos para dominar" continues playing]
TALK TO HER
-Thanks. -You and I need to talk.
Come here.
-So, what happened this afternoon-- -I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you were one of those.
Those what?
One of those girls who go for guys like their dad.
Daddy issues?
-I'm sorry, what? -[Iván chuckles]
I'm messing with you.
I just don't think Samuel's a good match for you.
Yeah, the way he kisses is fuckin' awesome.
-But you kiss much better. -Here's what we're gonna do about this.
You're gonna stay away from Samuel, from me,
and most importantly, you'll stay away from Patrick.
And what happened this afternoon never happened, okay?
[Ari sniffs]
Ari, did you smell me?
You know what I'm smelling? Your little game here.
So, if you fuck with my brother even the slightest bit,
I'll smack that grin right off of your mouth.
Is that what you think of me?
Look, your brother makes me feel fucking great.
-[Ari] Mm-hmm. -I hope to make him feel just the same.
[gentle music playing]
But just as friends. That's all.
You can't ask me to feel the same for him that I feel--
Shh.
That's enough.
So, can't your parents help you?
Or anyone?
But you're a minor.
They could help you find a place or something, couldn't they?
There are more kids than beds in that facility.
Do you think they care if we spend a night on the street?
I mean, someone must care.
[sighs] I'm telling you, they don't.
-[Bilal sighs] -You got me. I care about you.
[Bilal chuckles]
It's the first time I've heard that since I got here.
Thank you.
[Omar sighs]
I'm gonna get more water.
-[Bilal] Omar. -[Omar sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[Omar exhales deeply]
You have a boner right now?
[clicks tongue] I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.
-I didn't mean to. -Are you a queer?
Yeah. I'm queer.
I turn you on?
No, no. Not at all. It was the situation.
-I'll put the tabbouleh in a Tupperware. -No, don't kick me out.
[sighs] I'm not kicking you out, but I assume you don't wanna stay.
But I have nowhere else to go.
[Bilal takes a deep breath]
[Omar sighs]
[panting] What are you doing, Bilal?
[Bilal] What's the matter?
-[Omar] No, what's the matter with you? -Don't you like it?
You don't wanna do this.
-[Bilal] Yes, I do. -Stop!
You're doing it because you think it's the only way I'll let you stay.
[sighs] What kind of life have you had that you think you only deserve help
if you sleep with someone?
[Bilal takes a deep breath]
We're gonna find a roof to put over your head,
and we're gonna find you a job, okay?

-But, Caye. Hey, Caye, girl. -[door opens]
[Rebe sighs]
[Mencía chuckles softly]
What's wrong, huh?
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
Okay. It feels like you're afraid to be left alone with me.
Who, me? Afraid?
No, no, I'm not scared.
-Because we're friends, right? -Exactly. We're just friends.
Yeah.
[takes a deep breath] And friends, well…
Friends sometimes do things.
[clears throat] Ah, uh, no, Mencía. No, no, no, no.
-No, what? -I said no.
It's just, this place is packed.
-And? -Well, um, everyone can see us.
Well, you know what? I don't really give a shit.
[inhales sharply] Uh, what if Caye comes back?
I don't care.
-No, kid. We shouldn't. I mean-- -I told you, I don't give a shit.
-[excited chatter] -["Alta tensión" playing]
[Isadora] Well, well, well. Look who's here. Thanks for saving a spot.
Hey! You look totally gorge, babe.
Yeah, thank you. Why don't you take my spot?
I'm not hungry anymore.
Wonderful.
Hey, how are you?
Super great, and you?
I'm great too.
-That's great. -[Phillipe sighs] What?
Have you given up on me already?
Look, Caye. I wanna do my part too, okay?
But it's gonna be really hard for me if you're judging me 24/7
and telling me that… that what I do is wrong or…
or that it's not enough, you know?
Yeah.
Meanwhile, she's a yes-girl and tells you everything is okay, right?
[Phillipe sighs]
She makes my life a lot easier.
Here. Baby, my treat.
-No, thank you. -No, please. Take it. I bought it for you.
-I said I don't want it, okay? -[gasps]
-Seriously? Are you kidding me right now? -[Isadora] Ah.
Uh… I'll ask for a broom. You clean here too, don't you?

Isadora, Jesus.
Yeah, fuck it. [sighs]
Um,
can I borrow this real quick?
-[Isadora gasps] -[Caye] Fucking clown.
[chuckling] And you? You're a dumbass.
That fucking little cunt.
[sighs] What a total fucking bitch!
I mean, did you see what she just did to me?
Did you see?
Here. You can wear this.
Yeah.
Now that I finally managed to get naked in front of you?
No way.
I'm all yours.
Okay?
[actors speaking Spanish over car stereo]
Psst. My favorite scene is coming soon.
[Iván] Hmm.
[Rebe panting]
[Rebe exhales]
Can we go to your place?
[Rebe sighs]
Didn't we say we'd go to the party after this?
Yeah, but I mean, don't you prefer
this party right here? [chuckles]
[Rebe laughs]
I was looking forward to going, kid.
I just don't want any more problems with my dad.
You know what he's been like.
Yeah, so then tell him you're sleeping over at my house.
I think I'd better not.
[Rebe scoffs]
[sniffles] How's this go, Mencía?
How does it go?
I come out of the closet, and you get in, so we never meet outside?
That it? Huh? Tell me.
Please tell me. What are we? What the fuck are we, dude?
Tell me!
[Mencía sighs]
Never mind.
We're done.
I really tried, kid, you know.
I tried so hard.
But I'm done. It's over.
It's over, Mencía.
-No, what's over? Wait. -It's over.
[Banderas, in Spanish] Wait here.
If I let you loose, will you escape?
I don't know.
You'd better tie me up.
Tie me up.
[soaring orchestral music playing]
[in English] Tie me up.
[Patrick and Iván chuckle]
Samuel,
tie me up.
-[both panting] -Tie me up.
[Rebe sniffles]
How'd it go?
[sniffles] Not good.
Worse for you?
-[chuckles] Well… -[voice breaking] Wanna leave?
Yeah.
[Caye sighs]
I told you. Don't you dare hold back.
Okay?
[both grunting and panting]
[Isadora moaning]
[gasps]
[Caye] Please, Phillipe. Please, stop.
Stop! Please, don't, Phillipe!
I'm begging you. Stop!
Stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop. Let's go. Let's leave.
-Stop what? -I said we're leaving now.
I don't get it. I thought you were into this.
[Isadora sighs]
[Patrick hums along to "Resistiré" with actors]
[clicks tongue to beat, continues humming along]
I really love this film so much.
[sighs] Wanna knock one more back?
No, man. I'm wiped. Gonna get some sleep.
What? One little drink. Then we go to your place.
No, seriously. Let's go home. But to our own houses.
-What's wrong? -No, nothing.
I just don't think it's smart for us to sleep together again.
-That's all. -[Patrick scoffs]
Hey, I meant just as friends. Chill out.
Well, that's why.
Since we're friends, we can't keep doing that, can we?
-[chuckles] Of course we can. -[Iván] No, we can't.
We can't, because you can't get your head around the fact
that nothing's ever gonna happen between us.
Look, Patrick. I am the way I am, and I'm open with people I care about.
But you come up with these fantasies. They hurt you.
That's why it's better if we just have some space for now.

What are you thinking about?
About how I don't want to disappoint you.
I see.
[sighs] Like you've disappointed my father?
-[Ari laughs] -[Samu sighs]
I'm fucking with you.
Why are you obsessed with disappointing us?
You're not disappointing anyone.
[Samu sighs]
Do you know why I'm like that with your dad?
[Ari] No.
[gentle music playing]
Because I have no idea what it's like to have a father.
And seeing the way yours worries about me,
asks me what I want to be or how I'm doing.
He believes in me and is betting on me.
That's such a new feeling.
And I like it.
It gives me peace.
Come here.

Man, with this whole Bilal thing and learning his life story,
I think I finally know my calling.
Social work.
It's a good fit, right?
What's wrong? What are you looking for?
My computer.
I left it right over here.
Where? Here where?
[Samu sighs]
[Omar] After school, I'll go to Bilal's facility and ask him.
But with all the computers at school, I'm sure you need it less than he does.
What?
[Omar clicks tongue, takes a deep breath]
It's not an urgent need.
And for someone like Bilal, he can live on that money for a whole month.
But don't worry. If you need it, I'll buy you one.
-[knocking on door] -I'm coming!
[knocking continues]
All right, I'm coming. Jesus.
Hey, baby. Hello.
[sighs] What is this?
[door closes]
[Phillipe] Huh?
Isadora, what is this?
[Isadora] "Hi. How's it going, Isadora? Good morning! How are you? Okay. You?"
-"Good." -[Phillipe] Can you explain what this is?
-Isadora, what the fuck is this? Huh? -Yeah. What the fuck is what?
-Was it or was it not a perfect evening? -No. It was a fucking disaster, okay?
And I didn't come here to have drinks and chat.
Shh! Lower your voice, or the hotel staff will hear you,
and I want a supportive, nontoxic work environment. Understood?
I told you already, baby.
As long as people buy the story about the prince and the empress,
they'll forget all your sins.
And more importantly, so will you.
Yeah, but I'm not your trophy. Or anyone's.
[sighs] Trophy?
You? Honestly?
You're a broken trophy.
Baby, you're radioactive.
You don't gain me followers. You lose them. Today I lost 2,000.
-Why are you helping me then? -[Isadora] Because I can't anymore.
I can't stand seeing you keep punishing yourself
and how they keep punishing you for something in your past.
It's done.
You need to get over it.
You need to be with someone who is good for you,
not someone who's constantly reminding you that you made a mistake.
If you take a small child
and say that he's bad, that he's bad, that he's bad, what then?
The kid ends up believing he's actually bad.
I know what I am talking about.
We are not bad. Not me or you.
And I won't allow anyone to convince us otherwise.
Okay?
And here's a little tip, baby.
If life offers you the opportunity to lay eyes on the body and face
of an empress of Ibiza, then what do you do?
You say yes. Yes and yes.
And if you hesitate, you say yes again. Hmm?
But don't go around posting pics. Especially not fake ones, okay?
I promise you, it won't happen again.
Although maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.
How are you doing in the voting?
[Benjamín] Shanaa.
You didn't vote, and it's mandatory.
[students murmuring]
What happens if there's a tie?
In that case, both students would be expelled.
[quietly] Fuckin' A.
[Benjamín] Whenever you're ready.
Samuel, he won't expel you. Don't worry.
My vote's for Samuel.
Omar, bro. What you doin'?
[monitor chimes]
[Benjamín] Samuel García Domínguez,
you are expelled for three days, courtesy of your classmates.
-I thought he was gonna be expelled. -And he is… for three days.
-[students murmuring] -See that?
Coulda let us know sooner, don't you think, Benji?
Hold on, hold on. Wait a minute. What? What's the matter?
Now you're disappointed because I didn't permanently expel one?
So much for that whole unite and stick together thing.
In the end, it's every man for himself.
Hmm.
[energetic music playing]
[door opens, closes]
Gonna go to class, Samuel. Ciao.
[sighs] Remember the time when you came to talk to me,
and you defended Omar?
Remember that I told you to focus on your own battles
and stop fighting everyone else's?
Well, it looks like that's a lesson Omar appears to have learned very well.
[ominous music playing]
[Omar] Dude, hear me out. I knew he wasn't gonna let you go.
If it had been me, then forget that three-day shit. I'd be on the street.
Get outta my house.
-What? -[Samu] You heard me.
You gotta be outta here by tomorrow.
