["Acapulco" by Los Vaguens plays]
Wow.
This place hasn't changed.
I've always wanted to come back here.
Cool, cool.
Now, tell me about the place you don't wanna go to.
What do you mean?
There's no place like that.
-He means this place. Right here. -[groans]
I-I take back my lunch offer, Joe.
You can wait in the car. Oh. Okay.
O-Or join us, please.
Come on, Uncle Máximo. You're obviously avoiding something.
[sighs] Or someone.
-Really? Who is it? -[stammers, sighs]
Um, our server is here. I-I can't tell you right now.
-No, she's not. -Don't call her over.
I'll just have to answer your question later.
[server speaks Spanish]
[in English] So, are you ready to try ordering in Spanish?
Sure.
Um... [clicks tongue]
La cheeseburger. No bun. [chuckles]
Cheeseburger? Uh--
I fly you all the way down to my hometown in Mexico and you order "la cheeseburger."
I had Taco Bell yesterday.
That-- That's not--
[in Spanish]
[both chuckle]
[in English] Okay, back to my story.
[Older Máximo] See, Hugo, it was a tough time for me.
At home, Sara blamed my mom for her breakup with Roberta.
But since she couldn't talk about it, she just stayed in her room.
Things were still awkward with me and Julia.
And work wasn't any better,
since Héctor was still taking half my tips.
Thank you.
[Older Máximo] But there was one thing I couldn't complain about.
[in Spanish]
[chuckles]
-[chuckles] -[laughs]
[mouthing words, no audible dialogue]
[chuckles]
[voice over PA, in English] Will the owner of the whitest ass in Mexico
-please come to the front desk? -[microphone feedback]
Who's messing with the PA?
-[snorts, laughs] -[laughs]
Hey. Not funny.
[Older Máximo] See, Chad's old fraternity brothers
heard he'd gotten engaged.
No way.
[Older Máximo] So they came down to surprise him.
Their names-- I can't remember their names,
but they were five blond, white guys who all went to USC.
So, they were all basically Chads?
Yeah, great idea. They're all Chads.
[all cheering, chattering]
Chad! Chad, baby!
-Ah, and Chad! -[chuckles]
No way! Chad! [laughs]
Sup, Chad? [Chad 4] Sup, bro?
-Chad! -Chad!
I've known these guys since freshman year.
Your fiancé here was a legend in college.
I mean, we all called him "Rad Chad."
Stop. All right? Fraternity president,
beer pong champ, arm wrestling champ and inventor of a game we like to call...
[both] "Who can drink the most beers in a minute?"
Yes!
Huh, it sounds like a complicated game.
It's pretty simple. We would just--
I was kidding. [laughs]
But now, these guys are all crushing it. I mean, Chad is on Wall Street.
Mmm. Chad is also on Wall Street.
And Chad spent a year trying to write a sprawling, Proustian memoir of his life,
-but now he's on Wall Street. -Oh.
Meanwhile, uh, dude, your life is like a permanent vacation. [chuckles]
It is crazy, though, because we thought you'd be
-president by now or something. -Oh, I mean, you know,
my life is still pretty intense.
I'm basically, you know, running this entire resort.
[Héctor] Chad.
Your mom has a very, very, very, very important job for you.
She needs you to take her dress back to the dry cleaners.
They apparently-- They didn't get rid of the red wine stain.
She also said, and I quote,
"Don't let Manuel bully you again. You have to be stern with him."
Fries are on the way. Thank you.
Máximo! Hey. I need you to make me look good.
Okay, first you need to get some sun.
Your skin is a bit too-- No, I mean in front of my friends.
Oh. [stammers]
I'm sorry I can't help right now.
But I know the perfect person who can.
Memo.
Chad needs your help to look good.
Oh, okay. First of all, you need more sun.
No, I-I'm not that-- My skin is sensitive and I-- Ne-- Never mind, okay?
I just want you to talk me up in front of my friends.
I... [chuckles] ...I don't know. Groups of guys scare me.
Probably 'cause I grew up with five sisters
who also scare me.
Oh, come on. You'll be great.
Don't worry, this is your superpower.
Making the hero look good.
You're the guy behind the guy.
Now get in there and say some stuff about Chad you don't believe.
[chuckles]
-[all laughing] -[indistinct]
Wow, it's like you have an unlimited supply of stories of people throwing up.
Yeah. [all laugh]
Okay. Well, I should get back to work.
It was really nice talking to all of you.
Enjoy. Take care.
Guys, this is my amigo, Memo. My "Memigo."
Oh. Memo.
Memo, this is Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad, and Chad.
Hi. [chuckles]
Wow, I hope I can remember all of your names. [chuckles]
Don Pablo, how were your first few days off in 20 years?
Wonderful.
My grandson, every time I make this face...
Oh, you don't care.
No.
You know the final walk-through for our investor Ricardo Vera?
Where his representative tells us the last changes they want
before he puts millions into this place?
Yes. The walk-through's tomorrow.
Actually, his rep showed up today.
And since you weren't here, someone else escorted him around.
If it wasn't you and it wasn't me, who was it?
Paco the maintenance guy.
[groans]
[in Spanish]
Mm-hmm.
Uh...
[in English] On their tour, Paco agreed to an overhaul of the cabana menu,
he conceded in cutting my travel expenses,
negotiated a 20% raise in the maintenance budget,
and then at the pool...
[singing Irene Cara's "Fame" in Spanish]
[in Spanish]
[speaks Spanish]
[off-key]
[in English] Diane, this was a mistake, right?
Paco and the guy in the lame suit said we're fired.
We need this job.
I don't want to lose you either. We'll talk to him as soon as we can.
In the meantime, I'll find you another job here.
Oh, thank you, Don Pablo.
We'd be happy to work anywhere. [panting] Yeah.
[Adriana grunts]
[Augusto grunts]
[in Spanish]
[singing "La Bamba"]
[chuckles]
[mutters]
[Memo, in English] Then he outran that giant boulder.
And even though Chad is scared of snakes,
he jumped into the snake pit anyway and saved the girl.
Oh. [chuckles] Oh.
Dude, stop. You're embarrassing me. Come on.
All right. Be right back.
Boss man's gotta go fire some dudes on the kitchen staff.
Ooh!
[imitating Chad] "Boss man's gotta go fire some dudes on the kitchen staff."
What did you say?
[normal voice] Oh. Nothing, nothing. I was just kidding.
-No, no. That sounded exactly like him. -[chuckles]
[chuckles] Say it again.
Uh...
[imitating Chad] "Boss man's gotta go fire some dudes on the kitchen staff."
[all laughing]
Oh, no way. [normal voice] W-Well, actually,
if you want to do it right, you have to add the hair flip at the end.
[clicks tongue, imitating Chad] "Hey, I'm Chad.
Uh, my mom looks super hot in spandex.
The double-popped collar is what makes the collars pop."
[all laughing] [Chad 2] Oh!
-[laughs] Come on, bro! -[laughs] That was awesome! Stellar!
[Chad 2] Oh!
[in Spanish]
[sighs]
[in English] Wait, that's this restaurant.
That's right.
The restaurant where Isabel worked.
I just had to find her and cancel our date
so I wouldn't have to meet her family the next night.
[in Spanish]
[sighs]
[stammers]
Uh...
[laughs]
[Arturo]
[chuckles]
[stammering]
Uh...
[stammers]
[in English] It was the employees' Christmas dinner,
and I was on kind of two dates at once.
Both girls were very into me. [all laugh]
Oh, you dog! All right, man.
[all] Memo!
[chuckles] [sighs]
-Hey, guys. -Oh, dude, Memo here is the best.
The best! Hey, tell us another hilarious story.
Okay, so this one time, Chad asked
if Spain was the capital of Mexico. Beer pong!
-Hey, it's time for some beer pong! -Yes!
Yeah! Come on! Let's go!
[Chads cheer, whoop]
[Chads chant] Beer pong! Beer pong! Beer pong! Beer pong!
[water splashing]
[in Spanish]
[chuckles]
[Arturo]
[Arturo sighs]
-[chuckles] -Mm-hmm.
[in English] Come on.
-Eat it, Chad! [grunts] -[Chad 2] Come on! Come on, bro!
[grunts] [Chad 2] So fast!
Chad, you got this. One cup.
Hey, you look down. Want a beer?
No, thanks. I'm just kind of bummed. [Chads] Oh!
I was having a lot of fun being in the spotlight,
but now Chad took all the att--
Hey, you look down. Want a beer?
Yes! Rad Chad does it again! [cheering]
-[grunting] Yeah! -There he is.
[imitating Chad] "I call myself 'Rad Chad' to you guys,
but deep down, I call myself 'Sad Chad' because my glory days are behind me
and my only friends are on my mommy's payroll."
[Chads laughing]
Burn! [laughs] Memo, you're en fuego!
Uh, that means "on fire." We just learned that.
Hey, Memo. Would you mind teaching me a new word in Spanish?
Thanks for all your help, but do you mind maybe backing off a bit?
-[normal voice] Oh, I-I'm sorry. -No, it's-- it's fine. It's just...
I asked you to help me look good in front of my friends.
I know you're imitating me as a tribute,
but I'm worried they might think you're mocking me.
I know, but I'm always the guy behind the guy.
-What? -[sighs]
The best friend helping out the hero.
I guess it was kind of fun to be the star for once.
Wait, so does that mean you're not gonna back off?
Dudes, we've been talking.
We're placing bets on who we think would win at arm wrestling. You or Memo.
Sure.
I can beat most of my sisters in arm wrestling.
Weird way to psych me out. I'm in.
-[in Spanish] -[chuckles]
Hmm.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[sniffles]
[chuckles]
[both chuckle, sigh]
Hmm? [chuckles]
[inhales]
[band playing classical music]
[in English] If this is what they play in heaven, I'm glad I'm not going.
[speaks Spanish]
[sighs] [chuckles]
[in English] How about a compromise?
You convince Mr. Vera to accept a small change, and we--
we make sure your wife doesn't find out about your affair.
[in Spanish]
[clears throat]
Mmm.
[in English] How did you know he was having an affair?
I didn't.
[both chuckle]
-[Chad 3] There you go. -[Chad 2] Nice. Stretches.
-[Chad 6] That's the main thing. -It's important.
[Chad 3] Yeah, but-- but he's gotta get ready.
[Chad 4] Come on!
-What's going on here? -Arm wrestling. It's important.
-Yeah. -Those four words have never been used
-in all of human history. Come here. -[Chad] Hey!
[Chads] Ooh.
What's really going on?
I guess I'm just trying to look like I'm doing great in life
because sometimes I don't feel like I am, and I wish I was more like these guys.
I don't.
When I first met you, you were exactly like them.
But now you're more experienced, more thoughtful,
and more engaged to be married than any of them.
[in Spanish]
-[in English] I said, "And you also"-- -No, I got it.
I did.
[Older Máximo] That's when Chad realized
maybe he'd gotten a lot further in life than he thought.
[classical music continues]
[Older Máximo] And so, Chad decided to let Memo win.
Unfortunately, Memo had the exact same idea.
And go!
-[both groaning] -[Chad 3] Go, Chad.
-[grunts] -[groans, imitates whimpering]
[Chads cheering, shouting]
[whimpers] Why aren't you trying?
I'm letting you win. You need this more. I-I'm the guy behind the guy.
Not today. Today you're the guy in front of the guy behind the guy.
I'm gonna make you beat me.
[groans]
Not if I can help it.
[groaning]
-So, what that means is-- -That's right, Hugo!
It was a reverse arm wrestle.
Oh, you're really strong.
I thought you said you lost to your sister.
Yeah, the one that's a nun.
She's got God on her side.
And biceps like bowling balls. [groans]
[cheering] Oh, you're so strong!
-Oh, you're so strong! Oh! -I'm not! I'm really not!
I'm so weak and you're stronger! You're so strong!
Oh, Memo, you're hurting my elbow!
-Chad. Chad. -[exclaims]
-[cheering] -Oh, I lost!
Memo!
Shots. [Chad 2] Shots, baby!
[Chad 3, 4] Shots! You guys go celebrate.
-I'll be right behind you. -[cheering]
Thank you. [grunts]
Chad was feeling better about his life at Las Colinas,
um, but as I helped Isabel and her family...
[stammers] ...I felt as if--
as if I'd stumbled into another life altogether.
[dings]
[in Spanish]
[dings]
Mmm.
[chattering in Spanish]
[speaks Spanish]
[Arturo]
-[all speak Spanish] -[glasses clink]
[chuckles]
[both humming "La Bamba"]
[humming continues]
[Augusto]
-[Don Pablo] -[squeals]
[Adriana chuckles, hums]
["Isabel" playing]
[music continues]
[singing Luis Miguel's "Isabel" in English]
I'm glad it's resolved.
I just wish you had been here. Then this problem would've never happened.
He showed up a day early. And I was visiting my family.
I know. But let's not have this happen again.
[indistinct, chuckles] [chuckles]
Hey, guys. Hey.
Um, I just wanted to say thanks for today, Chad. I really appreciate it.
Don't mention it. I had fun too.
[chuckles]
You know, I realized I don't need to worry about what Chad thinks about me.
Or Chad. Or Chad, or Chad, or even Chad.
I only need to worry about what one person thinks about me.
And that's Chad.
[singing continues]
[in Spanish]
[both chuckle]
[Older Máximo] So much of happiness
is about finding that place where you feel like you belong.
[chuckles]
[Older Máximo] Esteban always knew that place was with Nora.
And tonight, he learned that Nora felt the same.
Chad realized he was happier now than he'd ever been.
[no audible dialogue]
[Older Máximo] For Don Pablo, that place had always been the hotel.
But suddenly, he wasn't so sure.
And I might have found the place I belonged when I wasn't even looking.
[in Spanish]
[chuckles]
[music continues]
[Adriana, in Spanish]
