Some scenes from the episodes of Betty La Fea (Between Betty & Michael)
Now in front of the hotel and still in the car, Betty converses with Michel. "Well, I hope the night was exactly like I promised you." "Yes," Betty smiles. "Thank you very much." "Really, it wasn't boring to you?" "No, how can you think that?" "It was a pleasure being with you and I loved seeing you so confident, despite the fact that you were facing your past.." Betty looks down "..and I loved looking at you like that (referring to her physicque)." "Thank you very much," Betty replies, a bit nervous. Michel continues, "Everyday, you surprise me more, Betty." She looks down, embarrassed. He gives her a queer but fascinated look. "Betty," he says, lifting her chin. "I have a curiosity. I want to see something. If you will allow me." And he removes her huge glasses. He's stupified staring at what is yet occult to the viewer. He keeps on staring, mesmerized, and LEANS OVER FOR A KISS...Brushing her lips, she recoils and he asks what's wrong? Nothing, nothing happens, Betty says, and flees from him, up to her room. Michel sighs and drives away. Once in her hotel room, she touches her lips and, worried, looks at her reflection in the mirror and asks, "What is this? What is happening? Why is this happening to me?"
Cecilia gives Betty one last piece of advice: liberate that warm and sensual Colombian woman you have hidden inside of you ... maybe that is what the good-looking Frenchman has already discovered in Betty ... let herself be loved!
Betty wearing a summer white blouse and light blue skirt, walks among the people (as she is going to meet Michel)
She passes next to a table where Michel is sitting waiting for her. He gets up to ask her to come join him, and walks her to his table. Betty- Good evening Michel Michel- Come sit down. He helps her to her chair, and then sits next to her Michel- Would you like something to drink? Betty- No, thank you Michel- First and foremost, I would like to apologize for what happened last night. (for those of you who don't know, Michel tried to kiss Betty on her lips, last night). I don't know what happened to me. I never behave in that manner. Betty- No, no, calm down, you don't need to apologize. Michel- I ask you not to take a bad impression of me. Today is your last night in Cartagena, and the last thing I want, is for you to leave feeling upset towards me. Betty- I am not upset. What happens is that I am not accustomed to have things like that occur to me. I have come here from just having lived a very difficult situation in Bogota, and I am just barely trying to move ahead, trying to breathe some air; and I am very hurt, I am on my guard. Besides when it comes to love, I have had very few relationships, and in those very few times that I have fallen in love, it has been a disaster, they have left me feeling nearly dead. So you really do not need to apologize. You have been very kind towards me, and I have enjoyed very much the time we have spent together here; but maybe if I would have been a different kind of woman, I would have reacted differently, but this is how I am, (yo soy asi) and I bet I am never going to change. Michel- (Who has been smiling) Well, that's the Betty that enchants me!. I have to tell you because you are going to think that what happened last night was premeditated, or it was a thing I take lightly, and that is not how it was. It was spontaneous!, it was natural! it came from within me to do it. Betty- But, what did you see in me? Michel- A sensible woman, who is very particular, that has been undergoing a very tough battle, and it has moved me to see that process, and I love in a certain manner, to be part of it. I think behind that woman, there is a little girl that becomes enlightened by the world! So don't blame me Betty, because I was simply there, and you enchanted me! Are we friends? (He extends his hand towards Betty).
