Trying to Translate

I'm trying to learn Spanish by watching telenovelas. Please share your comments about the shows, too. I know I'm not the only English-speaking person who's hooked on telenovelas!

Juan Querendon recap for Wednesday, October 10

I'm tired, so this post might not be written too clearly. I'll try to find time to clean it up tomorrow.

Juan asked Nidia if she thinks Paula is too good for him. Nidia said no but she doesn't know if Paula deserves a man like Juan. She warned him to think about what he was doing with his life.

Enrique told Yadira that she and Gutierrez make a beautiful couple. Yadira was annoyed and said Guti wasn't her boyfriend.

Paula, ever the liar, told Monica that her relationship with Cesar Luis was strictly business. "I could never get involved with a married man." Monica said she was relieved. She apologized to Evil Paula and said she considered Paula a great friend.

Cesar Luis told Chelo (the maid) that Monica had gone to the supermarket. Chelo was surprised, saying they went shopping just yesterday and bought everything they needed, and besides, Monica never went to the supermarket without her.

When Monica got home, Cesar L. quizzed her about where she had been. She claimed she had only gone to the supermarket, but he hounded her for the truth, saying he always told her everything (ha)!! Finally she admitted that she was with Paula.

I missed the next part of their conversation, but apparently she told him what she had discussed with Paula. Cesar L. berated her and Monica said she was only human. CL said their relationship didn't have much of a future because Monica didn't trust him. (WHAT A JERK!)

Marely asked Nidia if she was trying to set Yadira up with Guti because he had money. Nidia said, "I would never sell my daughter. You're offending me."

Yadira told Marely she had been trying to make Enrique jealous but it hadn't worked. Marely told Yadira not to chase him, "Love is something that happens or doesn't happen." Yadira cried and said she loved Enrique. Nidia overheard this.

Yad. asked about Marely's feelings for Juan. Marely declared, "I don't want to know anything about Juan Dominguez anymore. Nothing."

Juan told Enrique that Nidia and her family were skeptical about his relationship with Paula because they had expected him to marry Marely one day. I'm not sure but I think Enrique said something about Marely's feelings for Juan. Juan pointed at his boots and said something like, "These little boots leave their marks."

Juan and Enrique went to some sort of produce market and met a man named Angarida Garcia who owns 20 bodegas (not sure what that means in this context -- maybe 20 bars?) They discussed business and Angarida agreed to give them a chance. Juan thought that destiny had brought him to this man.

I still don't know exactly what kind of business Juan and Enrique are starting -- transporting food??? They got into a confrontation with a thug who seemed to think they were invading his turf. After the guy threatened them, Juan punched him in the mouth and challenged him to a fist fight. The guy said, "You really want me to deform your princess face?" but didn't seem very eager to fight. They had a brief scuffle, then security dragged the thug away. He told Juan he would come back for him later.

Nidia told Alirio to cancel their trip to Guti's ranch because Yadira never wanted to see Guti again. Aliro, as usual, protested vociferously. N. asked why he was so afraid of Guti. Alirio said Guti could still go to the police about the fixed will.

When Guti showed up, Marely told him Yadira never wanted to see him again. Alirio warned Nidia that Guti is "a snake, and very poisonous."

Paula told Ana about her meeting with Monica. Ana urged her to tell Monica the truth. Paula claimed her relationship with Cesar Luis was over. She refused to answer the phone, saying it was probably Juan and she didn't want to go to his house for dinner.

Juan and Enrique were pleased about their new business deal. They imagined themselves as rich 1920s-type swells, and Cesar Luis as a bum Juan hired to be his chauffeur. Cesar L. humbly thanked Juan, then told Enrique that he wished he could kiss Juan's hand. Very funny scene.

At episode's end, Cesar Luis went to Ana's house. Ana opened the door and glared at him while Paula stood in the background looking like an evil back-stabbing slut. Well, that's how she looked to me.
