Episode 2

(Cecilia and Ana, identical twins. 7 years old, daughters of Julia and Bernardo, Lorenzo's nieces)

Julia: Cecilia and Ana, this is a very difficult month for Uncle Lorenzo, I need you to help me and stop giving him so much trouble at school.

Ana: Sorry mom, Cec...

Cecilia: Shut up, Ana. Stop being lax!

Julia: I've already spoken to you about this behavior. Don't talk to your sister like that.

Cecilia: I'm grounded because of her!

Julia: You're grounded because you made your sister impersonate you to present a paper at school that you didn't prepare for.

Cecilia: But Mom, what's the problem? If she hadn't been so scared and shaken, the teacher would never have found out.

Julia: Daughter, that's wrong, you can't use the fact that you're identical to deceive people and cheat. And your punishment isn't just for that, you know.

Cecilia: He deserved it, Mom, he was laughing at Ana.

Anna: You didn't have to kick him between the legs, Cecilia. I was going to defend myself!

Cecilia: She wasn't going to, she never defends herself!

Julia: Enough! Violence is not the answer to anything. Soon your father will arrive and we'll go to Uncle Lorenzo's.

Cecilia: I'm only going because I want to see Theo, everyone knows he doesn't want anyone there!

Anna: Don't be cruel Cecilia, he's suffering!

Cecilia: We all are!

Bernard: How are my princesses?

Anna: Good, Dad.

I jump into my father's arms!

Cecilia: Dad! Mom is torturing me with endless punishment, please help me.

(Julia and Bernardo. Bernardo is Lorenzo's older brother. They are the main characters in the book "She's Just Too Much II")

Bernard: Your mother's right Cecilia, you'll be out in four days if you behave!

Cecilia: God! Nobody understands me in this house.

Bernardo: Is Theo's new nanny arriving tomorrow?

Cecilia: Another poor thing to run off the property.

Julia: That's enough, Cecilia!

Cecilia goes stomping off to her room and Ana follows.

Bernard: What personality is this love? I didn't get a hug from her!

Julia: Your personality!

I hug Bernardo and kiss him.

Bernardo: We have a long month ahead of us. How's Felipe?

Julia: He's taking a nap, love, he's fine. How was the company today?

Bernard: All right. Come on, let's get ready, it's going to be a tough night!

Julia Ana and Cecilia couldn't be more identical physically, but their personalities couldn't be more different either. Ana is sweet, gentle, loving and very affectionate. Cecilia is angry and closed off, she has no patience and doesn't mince her words.

(Isabella, Lorenzo's twin sister and Arthur, her husband)

Isabella: Ready?

I say, already discouraged, running my hands over my six-month pregnant belly. Arthur then enters Bernardo's mansion with Mel, who runs over to Cecilia and Ana.

Bernardo: No, but come on.

Everyone is here and we make our way to Lorenzo's mansion in silence. We entered without knocking.

Lorenzo: What the fuck do you think you're doing breaking into my house like this?

Cecilia: I said he didn't want anyone here.

Bernardo: Lorenzo, the children are here.

Lorenzo: I leave without saying anything, go into the office and slam the door angrily.

Bernardo: I'm going after Lorenzo.

Where's Theo?

Lorenzo: Probably hating me in his room.

Bernardo: Lorenzo...

Lorenzo: Don't lecture me, I should have gone in her place, she would have known what to do in a situation like this.

Bernardo: Don't say that, no one would know what to do.

Lorenzo: Just get out of here!

Bernard: Mom found another nanny, she'll be here tomorrow morning.

Lorenzo: I don't know what the fuck a babysitter is for if they don't get out of here.

Bernardo: It's mainly for the nights since you don't let anyone live here.

Lorenzo: What the hell, now all of you get out of here.

Bernard: One day you'll have to go back to living because this isn't how Suzi would have wanted it to be.

Lorenzo: I land a punch on Bernardo.

Never speak her name again, understand?

Bernardo: I clean the blood at the corner of my mouth and leave the office without saying anything. Julia sees me and comes towards me.

Julia: What happened?

Bernardo: Call the girls and let's go.

Julia: I do what Bernardo asked, he's furious. We arrive home and I try to talk to him.

Bernardo: Lorenzo is out of control, it will be two years in a few days and he's only getting worse. I keep talking to Julia.

At Lorenzo's mansion...

(Theo, 6 years old. Lorenzo's son)

Theo: Lorenzo, don't ever kick out my guests again, this is my home too!

Lorenzo: I look at Theo seriously, say nothing, and he leaves. I want to go to him and shout that I am his father, demand more respect, but he already suffers enough because of me. Hours later, I go to his room and see him sleeping with Suzi's photo in his small hands, his eyes betraying that he had cried, and it breaks my heart to see him like this. I don't know what I'm doing, son, forgive me.

(Suzi, Theo's mother. Lorenzo's deceased wife)

Lorenzo: I enter the closet, open the safe, and take out the engagement ring I gave to Suzi. Memories of our wedding come rushing back, and once again, I feel like death would be better than the pain I'm feeling now. Why, Suzi? Why did you leave me?
