Sebastian comes home and sees the invitation. Tells Lucia he can’t go, have an important commitment.
Next sunrise, Ivan and all stock brokers are at CE watching the Euro coffee stock market moves…
At Assoc office, Mauricio is also watching the market numbers, but from an expectator viewpoint…Gav arrives…
Mauricio: Ayer llovio en el Brasil, y bajo el precio del café. Hoy dejo de llover… y subio. Yo no quisiera ser exportador en este momento.
Gav: Es que eso de la bolsa es como una ruleta. Rojo o negro. Se gana o se pierde!
Mau: Si, claro! Se me olvidaba que Usted era exportadora.
Gav: Ahora si que descanso. Me da una alegria que hubiera salido de esa neura!
Mau: Si, es que 12 horas de vuelo ponen a cualquiera neurotico y susceptible.
Ivan holds on some more time, then sells all his coffee right before the news of the upcoming rain reach most people, and he makes a fortune, enough to pay off the family on the money he borrowed to buy the tostadora plant, and then some to live comfortably for a long time…
Miguel runs home late, Paula was already desperate, says he left all OxyChloride solutions made and ready for spreading. (he always leaves some and gets the workers to spread a much more diluted solution that they are supposed to, sells most of the OxyChloride to the sleezy guy who sells it forward in the black market).
Paula asks Arthur, after Miguel has left the room, to save the phone bills for both the house and the warehouse/trilladora for her to review upon their return…
Gaviota tells Mauricio she feels sad about his statement last night about him not being needed, so that they would forget him.
Mau: Y Usted me va a olvidar, Gaviota?
Gav: No, pues como se le ocurre, Doctor!? Como cree Usted que yo me voy a olvidar de la persona que ha sido tan especial conmigo! Tendria que ser, pues, una computadora para que se me olvidara un jefe como Ud!
Mau: Ah! Va a extranar al jefe. Y no a Mauricio Salinas. Porque pues a mi no me importa que le haga falta el jefe de este Departamento! (getting visibly irritated) Esos sentimientos en realidad entorpecen el trabajo! Pero si quiero saber si va a extranar a Mauricio Salinas.
Gav: Pues claro que lo voy a extranar, Doctor.
Mau: Doctor?? Mauricio! Si me va a extranar, por lo menos digame ‘Voy a extranarlo, Mauricio’! Que tanto me va a extranar?
Gav: (very low…) Mucho… (Marta interrupts)
Mau: Gaviota, pues me alegra mucho que me vaya a extranar. Porque yo la voy a extranar siempre. Desde ahora estoy pensando como puede ser mi vida sin Usted, y no lo veo muy claro.
Sebastian scolds Lucia over phone, he NEEDS a phone number for her father!! HAS TO TALK TO HIM NOW!!
Luc: Porque no te vuelves a ver con la Gaviota?? Estas INSOPORTABLE!!
Ivan gets home elated with the good news for Lucrecia.
Sebastian calls Arthur at the hacienda. Get rid of our coffee, collect all the coffee, process and release it ASAP!! (because prices will come down dramatically very quickly)
