MORENA
Episode 15
(In Rodriguez office)
Rodriguez: Alicia, Are you crazy? First you burnt a client’s food, Next you’re chasing your colleague with a knife. On your first day at work? What the hell is wrong with you? Look, I brou-ght you here to work not to terrorize your fellow colleagues.
Alicia: I’m really sorry love. I was just angry with the way that girl was talkin’ to me. I ain’t no damn baby, That bit-ch should’ve shown me some respect!
Rodriguez: Do me a favor. Leave the ghetto talk outside.
Alicia: Ghetto talk? I don’t talk ghetto.
(Rodriguez stares at her)
Alicia: Ok fine.
Rodriguez: Look, Outside there you can behave anyhow you want but inside here, You’ll nee-d to behave prim and proper. Do I make myself clear?
Alicia: Clear.
Mr Rodriguez: I’m gonna pardon you this time.
Alicia: Thanks babe. (se-ductively) In the meantime…
(Alicia walks to Rodriguez and k!sses him, He breaks the k!ssfew seconds later)
Rodriguez: Do me a favor, Don’t let anyone know that we’re d@t!ngor that you’re an ex-convict.
Alicia: Consider it done. Now where were we…
(Alicia pu-lls him back into a k!ssand they begin ma-king out in the office)
************************
(In the kitchen)
Nina: Rafael, I’m serious. The new cook that Mr Rodriguez employed to substitute Morena and Cecilia is a mad person.
Rafael: Who? Alicia?
Nina: Yes! She chased me with a knife!
Rafael: Whoa…We’ve got trouble on our hands
Nina: Big one.
(Alicia enters the kitchen and they change the subject)
Nina: Umm…Rafael, So where do you think we should go to after work, The gazebo? sauna? movies?
Rafael: Movies sounds alright.
(Pascaline enters the kitchen)
Pascaline: Where’s Alicia?
(Nina points to where she is and she goes to meet her)
Pascaline: Alicia, What’s taking you so long? Your client has been waiting for his order for over an hour now.
Alicia: Ohhh, I would’ve been done cooking since but Mr Rodriguez called me to his office to have an urgent and important discussion with me.
Pascaline: (angrily) You should have told him that you had a client waiting!!!
Alicia: bit-ch, Ain’t you got no ears! I told you it was an important discussion!
Pascaline: (gently) Ohhh…Umm, Just hurry up.
(Pascaline leaves the kitchen)
(Meanwhile)
(At Diego’s house)
Isabella: Babe, I’m bored.
Diego: Me too.
Isabella: I’m hungry.
Diego: So?
Isabella: So order some food. Maybe pizza or something.
Diego: Okay. I’ll order some…Wait a minute, We don’t nee-d to order food.
Isabella: Why?
Diego: I have food items in the kitchen, You can make spaghetti and baked beans for us to eat… Besides your food tastes better than anything else.
Isabella: (thinks) Oh no…. (nervously) Umm, Alright. I’ll go make something for us to eat.
Diego: I’ll come with you. I wanna see you how you cook because your food tastes extraordinary.
Isabella: But babe, You’re a man, You don’t nee-d to bother yourself on learning how to cook.
Diego: That’s nons-en-se, Cooking is a vital and fundamental skill everyone should learn.
Isabella: Ohhh but, Why don’t you just wait for me to finish in the living room. Besides, If I’m teaching you then its going to take a lot of time and I’m very hungry
Diego: Hmmm, You’re right… Ok, I’ll be in the living room.
Isabella: Yeah….
(Isabella enters the kitchen and orders spaghetti and baked beans for herself and Diego)
************************
(At Uncle Roberto’s house)
Aunt Maria: Morena! Are you done with all the house chores?
Morena: Yes Aunty.
Aunt Maria: Really? You’ve vacuumed the house? mopped the floors? washed the plates? done the laundry? cleaned the TV, refrigerator, the chairs, tables, toilets, bathrooms, basement, porch, attic, fireplace, chimney….
Morena: Yes Aunty. I’ve done all that.
Aunt Maria: Impossible! There has to be more work for you to do…
(Just Then)
(Uncle Roberto returns from his business trip)
Morena: (she goes to meet him) Welcome back uncle! (She hvgs him)
Uncle Roberto: Thank you, Morena.
(She helps him carry his luggages)
Juan & Juanita: Daddy! Welcome home!
Uncle Roberto: (hvgs them) I’ve missed you both so much… Where’s your mom?
Juan: She’s inside.
(They all go inside the house)
Aunt Maria: Welcome back darling! (She hvgs him) I’ve really missed you, How did the meeting go?
Uncle Roberto: It went well honey. A little bit stressful though.
Aunt Maria: Don’t worry, I’ll go prepare your favorite – h0t chilli.
Uncle Roberto: Don’t worry, Morena will prepare it, I’m sure you’ve stressed yourself out today with the house chores and all.
Aunt Maria: Yeah, I’ve been really stressed out. The house chores are just so exhausting….(looks at Morena) And I had no as-sistance.
Morena: But Aunty….
Uncle Roberto: But Morena that was unfair, You shouldn’t have allowed your aunt to do the house chores alone. Anyways, I want you to make chilli for me.
Morena: (sighs) No problem sir.
(She goes into the kitchen)
(Later)
Moren: Dinner’s re-ady!
Uncle Roberto: Mmm, Its smells so delicious alre-ady. I can’t wait to start eating…(he takes a scoop) Wow! This tastes extraordinarily good! Morena, You’re such a good cook. I’ve never tasted something as delicious as this before (He takes more scoops) Maria, You nee-d to taste this.
Aunt Maria: No, I’m good. (She looks at Morena with hatred)
Uncle Roberto: Kids, Come and have some…
Juan & Juanita: Okay Dad.
Morena: Enjoy your meal.
Uncle Roberto: Hold up, Aren’t you gonna eat dinner?
Morena: I’ll just eat the food scra-ps.
Uncle Roberto: Food scra-ps? What do you mean ”food scra-ps”? Isn’t there enough food in the house?
Aunt Maria: Uhhh…Just forget what she said, She’s clearly delirious from the stress at work, that’s all. (To Morena) Why don’t you go have some rice and take a big piece of chicken.
Morena: Okay Aunty, Thanks.
(Morena goes into the kitchen and Aunt Maria watches her in anger)
(Meanwhile)
(In Diego’s house)
Isabella: Hmmm…Diego, How does it taste?
Diego: Wonderful! You’re a star, Isabella. I never knew you were such an amazing cook. I can’t wait for us to get married.
Isabella: (giggles) Me too…. Umm, Babe, I nee-d to go check on my phone in your room, I’ll be right back.
Diego: No problem love.
(Isabella leaves the living room)
Diego: (he finishes his food) This food is so delicious. I gotta have more!
(Diego goes into the kitchen)
Diego: I can’t wait to eat more and…. (he opens the pot and sees that it’s empty) Huh? Why is the pot empty? (He checks the other pots) I’m confused, I thought Isabella cooked spaghetti, How come the pots are all empty, clean and stainless? Or did she use the pot and keep it somewhere else?
(Diego opens the cabinet and sees the receipts for all the foods that Isabella’s been ordering)
Diego: What the hell is this…ISABELLA!!!!

Diego: Where did all these receipts come from? (He checks them) Have you been ordering the foods all these time?

Uncle Roberto: Alright. I’m going to work, I want you to as-sist your aunt in taking care of the house. Okay?
Morena: No problem uncle.
(He leaves the house)
Morena: Thank goodness he didn’t suspect anything. (sighs) I know I can’t hide this from him forever…

Juanita: I’m sorry Mrs Carlotta.
Mrs Carlotta: The next time I hear you talk, I’m gonna give you some sp@ñking!
(At the mention of the word “sp@ñking”, Juanita looks at Mrs Carlotta in the eyes as if daring her to do her worst)
Mrs Carlotta: (To Juanita) See me before you go home today. I have a note for your Dad.
Juanita: Alright ma.
Mrs Carlotta: So clas-s, As I was saying….
(Later)
(Juanita collects the letter from Mrs Carlotta and attempts to open it)
Juan: Juanita! What’re you about to do?
Juanita: I wanna open the letter to see what Mrs Carlotta wrote to Dad.
Juan: You do realize that if you open it, You can’t seal it back again.
Juanita: Oh yeah, That’s true… But I’m curious.
Juan: What’s the rush? Eventually you’re gonna find out what’s in the letter….

Alicia: Hey babe, You called me.
Mr Rodriguez: Yeah, I wanted to remind you to cover up your tattoos and re-move your piercings because the CEO might show up at anytime.
Alicia: Hmmm…Got it babe.

Morena: Amen. How’s Balacar?
Diego: It’s boring. Everywhere is so bleak, Nothing interesting ever happens…Besides, Isabella and I just broke up.
Morena: What? Why?
Diego: That girl is a counterfeit. I thought she could cook but it turns out she’s very terrible. She’s been lying and deceiving me all these time.
Morena: Ooohh, That’s not good.
Diego: I really love her but her lying and scheming attitude is just too unbearable…I just don’t know what to do with her.
Morena: Calm down, Diego. As a good friend, I’ll advise you to take things easy with her. Maybe you can take her to a culinary school so she can learn. Remember, Two wrongs never make a right.
Diego: Yeah I know, I guess you’re right…My regards to your Uncle over there.
Morena: Alright.
