Tumble!Fumble!Grumble!

Pepa returns home at dawn to find her answering machine filled with frantic messages from Candela (Maria Barranco). In anger she rips out the phone and throws it through the window onto the balcony. Candela finally arrives, still frantic, but before she can explain her situation, Carlos arrives with his snobby fiancée Marissa (Rossy de Palma) — it turns out both of them are apartment-hunting, and by coincidence have chosen Pepa’s penthouse to look at. Just as Pepa and Carlos figure out who one another are, Candela attempts suicide by jumping off the balcony. Shortly thereafter Marissa accidentally drinks the gazpacho, and is knocked out cold.
