00:00I thought making love was horrible.
00:03I find the whole story that led to this moment very funny.
00:07Monica had no idea what happened between a couple on their wedding night.
00:12She asks her mother and the maid, but they are too embarrassed to tell her.
00:17Then, I may, wanting to sour the poor girl's romance,
00:21describes the events to her sister in the most terrifying way possible.
00:25When the moment of truth arrives, Monica realizes it was nothing like that.
00:31Later, she tells Juan that her sister had said making love was horrible
00:35and he can't hold back his laughter.
00:40Then, he comes over with that seductive manner of his and asks,
00:45Did you think it was horrible?
00:47They expelled you from the convent because you were going to tempt the friars.
00:52In the arguments this couple had before they fell in love,
00:57Juan always showed that he was already falling for Monica.
01:00In one scene, when he asks why she is no longer dressed as a novice,
01:05she answers that she was expelled from the convent
01:08because they considered she had no vocation.
01:11Then, Juan questions her.
01:13Was that really it?
01:15Or were they afraid you would tempt the friars?
01:18The Walk in the Square
01:20This scene has no memorable dialogue,
01:23but what I love is that sweet, carefree couple dynamic
01:27of them getting ready to go out and being silly while strolling together.
01:35I will never offend her the way my brother did.
01:39Monica didn't even need to be in this scene
01:42for it to become one of my favorites of the couple.
01:45Don Noel is worried about Juan and Monica's marriage
01:49because he thinks it is based only on revenge and insurity.
01:53When the lawyer suggests that Juan call off the wedding,
01:57he answers that he would never do what his brother did to her,
02:01rejecting her before the wedding and defending her.
02:05And who said there was never a perfect Mexican telenovela protagonist?
02:10I want you to want to.
02:13I'm going to put two scenes together here
02:16because they complete each other,
02:17the sincere conversations before the wedding.
02:21Juan is trying to have an honest talk with Monica
02:24about what the two of them expect from each other as husband and wife.
02:28She says she wants him to be honorable, polite,
02:32and never to shout at her.
02:33He replies that that description sounded more like a brother
02:37and that between husband and wife there should be other things.
02:41She becomes completely embarrassed
02:43and says they shouldn't talk about such things.
02:46He feels sorry for her and leaves,
02:49but before that they steal a little kiss.
02:51In the other conversation,
02:53they try to reach an agreement
02:55about how they will treat each other in married life.
02:58He promises that even though it is not his strong point,
03:02he will have all the patience in the world with her.
03:04She says she will try to be a good wife
03:07and fulfill her obligations.
03:09Then he gives an answer that makes your legs weak.
03:13I don't want you to obey.
03:15I want you to want to.
03:17The kiss in the garden
03:19This is one of the couple's most remembered scenes,
03:22and I love it too.
03:24Monica was being tormented by Aimee,
03:27who was filling her head
03:28to make her sister give up on the wedding.
03:31Unable to take it anymore,
03:33Monica runs out crying,
03:35and Juan catches up to her.
03:37He tries to calm her,
03:38spreads his coat for her to sit on the grass,
03:41which was very sweet,
03:43because he found the habits of the elite ridiculous,
03:46yet for her he did everything,
03:48and asks what's going on.
03:50He's worried that they have managed
03:52to convince Monica to cancel the wedding.
03:54In a moment when he lets himself
03:56be carried away by passion,
03:58he gives his fiancée that wonderful long kiss.
04:02It was the first time they had kissed like that,
04:05and the poor girl runs off frightened,
04:08leaving Juan wanting more.
04:11I don't want a dowry.
04:13Monica is already too great a prize.
04:17Supposedly, he was not yet in love with her, right?
04:20Well, Juan saved Mrs. Catalina
04:23from a great embarrassment,
04:24because just when she was about to say
04:27she had no dowry to offer for her daughter,
04:29Juan spoke up first,
04:31saying right away that he would accept no dowry,
04:35because Monica was already too great a prize.
04:38Look how happy and completely smitten she was.
04:41That moment was truly sweet.
04:46The first night
04:50The couple's first night is simply epic.
04:54Monica was afraid,
04:56and Juan gradually breaks down her fears
04:59in a very tender and sensitive way.
05:01He asks her not to be afraid,
05:03and says that what was going to happen between them
05:06could be as beautiful as they wanted it to be.
05:11Honestly, I'd challenge any woman
05:13to watch this telenovela
05:15and not fall in love with this man.
05:18The first kiss
05:21I like the couple's first kiss
05:23a little more than the wedding night,
05:25because it's a scene that says so much
05:27about the character's context.
05:29Monica finds out that the foreman on Andres' ranch
05:33was doing something terrible to the workers' daughters,
05:36sending them to a place where men went,
05:39a brothel.
05:42Monica didn't even know what a brothel was
05:45before learning this
05:46and became very frightened.
05:48She goes to Juan for help in desperation,
05:50and he gives her a reality check.
05:54He says he could look after Mesh,
05:56the granddaughter of the workers Monica knew,
05:59but that he would never have enough life
06:01to fix all the injustices in the world.
06:04He loses a little patience while speaking
06:06and says she doesn't know
06:08that even children end up with the same fate
06:11and that she herself was part of that oppressive class.
06:15She starts crying even harder
06:17and then his heart softens.
06:19He apologizes for having been harsh
06:22and says she wasn't to blame either.
06:25That's when their first kiss happens,
06:28the tenderness of the moment,
06:30the way they look at each other
06:31as if they were discovering each other,
06:33everything is wonderful in this scene.
06:38If I had you,
06:39only if I was blind,
06:41deaf, or an idiot
06:42would I have traded you for your sister.
06:46Monica has confessed
06:47that this was the moment
06:49she fell in love with Juan.
06:53Juan was irritated
06:54by Monica's insistence
06:56on defending her half-brother Andres,
06:58who had been abandoned by Aimee,
07:01Monica's sister.
07:02A short while earlier,
07:03he had been unkind to her,
07:05saying she had entered the convent
07:07because she had been traded.
07:09Then, in this scene,
07:11he apologizes and says,
07:13Do you want me to tell you something?
07:15If I had you,
07:16only if I was blind,
07:18deaf, or an idiot,
07:19would I have traded you for your sister.
07:23I'll end this list by saying
07:25it's no wonder this couple
07:27is my favorite in the world of telenovelas.
