Plot
What is it about men and women when it comes to relationships? Are we always doomed to repeat our mistakes? Is the whole enterprise of love and companionship just set up for failure? Can true love, if there is such a thing, overcome gender foibles? "True Love" explores the lives of six interconnected Angelinos as they struggle with issues of honesty, trust, communication, maturity, fidelity and perseverance. Is there even a chance for success in a world where the men are so un-evolved and the women so compelled to hang on?
Three Couples, One Problem
Plot
Gray and Sam are brother and sister and best friends, flatmates in New York City, where she creates ad campaigns and he's a surgery intern. Their social life is too insular, so they head to a dog park so Sam can, maybe, meet a woman. He does - Charlie - a zoologist new in the city; he likes her immediately, and the feeling seems mutual. As the three of them spend time together, what if Gray's feelings for Charlie aren't just sisterly? Not only might this explain her solitary life, but it could lead to real dilemmas - with Charlie (who's sweet, but a bit opaque) and with Sam. No advice comes from Gray's therapist, but a co-worker and a cab driver give theirs. Can Gray sort things out?

A romantic comedy about a brother, a sister and the girl of their dreams.
Gray: [standing outside a gay bar] I can't do this.::Gordy: Yes, you can.::Gray: Why do I have to do this?::Gordy: Because you're gay and you have to start behaving like it.
Sam: What are you doing?::Gray: I want to die right now. I never want to see another human being as long as I live.::Sam: You're just coming out.::Gray: I am never coming out of this elevator.::Sam: This is probably the biggest revelation of your entire life. It's normal to be going nuts. It's normal.::Gray: I don't feel normal. I'm sick and tired of everyone saying it's normal, it's typical, it's ordinary. I don't feel any of those things.::Sam: Well how do you feel?::Gray: Lonely.::Sam: Why?::Gray: Because I'm never going to be able to walk down the street, holding hands with my partner without the rest of the world giving us a look. And me never have the wedding that I once dreamed of and I may never have children. And one day when I die people will never give as much respect to my grieving lover as if she were my husband.::Sam: Gray, it's not as if you made a choice.::Gray: That's what terrifies me. It's so much easier to be someone else.
Carrie: I quit weight watchers. Can you believe it? I quit! Fergie schmergie! I hate fiber. I like mallomars and if Derek isn't going to love me for the tiny amount of cellulite I have on the back of my thighs then fuck him. Screw that guy. This is the package ok? It's exactly the same under the wrapping. This is the packages, no exchanges, no returns. Right? Why does our society push us to be perpetually uncomfortable with who we are. It's so messed up! Wanna know why? [reading from a magazine] " Boost your buttocks and thighs. Luscious Liposuction. Flawless face lifts." That's why. Enough is enough. We need to stop letting society and media and our religious leaders delegate who we are. You're amazing and I'm even more amazing and anybody who doesn't get it can screw themselves... [sigh] That felt fantastic.
Gordy: I happen to think you're pretty dandy.
Gray: I have to tell you something and it's not easy. It's really major. I don't know how to say it.::Sam: Why don't you take three short breaths and...::Gray: ...and one long.::[Gray takes three short and one long]::Gray: I'm gay!::Sam: What?::Gray: As in Marvin.::Sam: What?::Gray: As in, take the R out of Gray and BINGO!
Carrie: She's the best. Strong, independent, feisty.::Gray: Who are you talking about?::Carrie: Who else? Queen Oprah. Oprah, Oprah the great. Oprah, I love her. Do you understand that I'm obsessed with her? I think she is so great that she should start her own religion - that's how much I love her. I love her so much that if she and Stedman couldn't have children and needed a little bit of help, I would surrogate a child for them. That's right. I would have Oprah's baby, that's how much I love her.::Gray: Wauw. That's a lot of love.
Charlie Kelsey: [to Grey] I spend more money on lingerie then I do on rent.
Gray: You don't know what it's like. One day you're one thing and the next day you realize you're something else. I feel like I'm Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" and I'm in this new land and I want to go home but something is telling me maybe this is my home. Maybe I shouldn't click my heels three times; maybe I should just stay here and be nauseas with the Munchkins.
[Charlie walks into the suite bathroom, stark naked with only a bucket of ice and a bottle of champagne covering her]::Charlie Kelsey: Ta-da! I got the champagne... extra bubbly.::Gray: Oh my God! You didn't answer the door looking like that?::Charlie Kelsey: Hmmm. No wonder the delivery guy didn't want a tip.
Gray: What can I say? I am a mess.::Gordy: You don't look a mess. You look cute as a button. And buttons aren't messy.::Gray: Well, looks can be deceiving.

Juan is a given name, the Spanish language version of John. It is very common in Spain (its origin) and in Spanish-speaking communities around the world. The feminine form is Juana, or Juanita on its diminutive.
Juan (Mandarin pronunciation: [tɕy̯ɛn]; 娟, 隽) is also a common feminine given name for Chinese, although Chinese given names are not fixed. "卷", which is homophonic with the female name, is a division of a traditional Chinese manuscript or book and can be translated as "fascicle", "scroll", "chapter" or "volume". Typically, this is pronounced, as the Spanish name sometimes is in British locales, as two syllables instead of the one and with a voiced instead of an aspirated J.
Luis Alfonso Rodríguez López-Cepero, more commonly known by his stage name Luis Fonsi, (born April 15, 1978 in Puerto Rico) is a Latin Grammy winning Puerto Rican singer and composer.
Born in Puerto Rico, Fonsi and his family later moved to Orlando, Florida, during Fonsi's early childhood. Around the time he was ten years old, Fonsi began to dream about becoming a member of Menudo, a Latin American boy band. While not being able to pursue that dream, he did, however, participate in many local boy bands, including one, Big Guys, where he met, and befriended, future *NSYNC member Joey Fatone.
In 1995, Fonsi enrolled at Florida State University to study music. He also joined the school's choir and sang with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
In April 2005, Fonsi had a brief return to the singing stage, when former Menudo member Ray Reyes invited him and another Puerto Rican, Adamari López, to a concert which was held at San Juan's Roberto Clemente coliseum. The press widely covered what El Vocero titled as Fonsi's moment as a Menudo, when he took the stage and joined the members of El Reencuentro to sing some of their old hits.
Juan Luis Guerra (born June 7, 1957) is a singer, songwriter and producer from the Dominican Republic who has sold over 30 million records, and won numerous awards including 12 Latin Grammy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Latin Billboard Music Awards. He recently won 3 Latin Grammy Awards in 2010, including Album of the Year.
He is one of the most internationally recognized Latin artists of recent decades. His pop style of merengue and bolero and Afro-pop/Latin fusion has garnered him considerable success throughout Latin America. Guerra is sometimes associated with the popular Dominican music called bachata, and while this association is partly true, he actually uses the basics of Bachata rhythm with a more bolero feel to the melodies in some of his songs. He does not limit himself to one style of music, instead, he incorporates diverse rhythms like merengue, bolero-bachata, balada, salsa, rock and roll, and even gospel as in the song "La Gallera". "Ojalá Que Llueva Café" ("I Wish It Would Rain Coffee") is one of his most critically acclaimed self-written and composed pieces. A remix of "La Llave de Mi Corazón" ("The Key of My Heart") with Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas is also an example of his fusion of genres.
Alberto Aguilera Valadez (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈβeɾto aɣiˈleɾa βalaˈðes]) (born January 7, 1950), better known by his stage name Juan Gabriel (pronounced: [ˈxwaŋ ɡaˈβɾjel]), is a Mexican singer, songwriter, recording artist, and performer.
Born on 7 January 1950, on Cinco de Mayo street (now known as Juan Gabriel Street) in the small town of Parácuaro, Michoacán, to father Gabriel Aguilera Rodríguez and mother Victoria Valadez Rojas, he is the youngest of 10 siblings: Rosa who died shortly after birth, Virginia, José Guadalupe, Gabriel, Pablo, Miguel (died) and three brothers named Rafael who all three have also died.
Around the age of three months, Alberto's father, Gabriel, being an agricultural field worker, intended to clear a piece of land by setting fire to the field. Due to windy conditions, sadly he lost control of the fire which began to spread to neighboring properties and homes. Deeply disturbed and worried over the consequences he brought onto his family, Gabriel knew not what to do and threw himself into a river. Badly injured from the fall, Gabriel was hospitalized and committed to La Castañeda psychiatric ward in México City. What happened to Gabriel after the psychiatric ward is unknown. One tale is that he died while in La Castañeda for their alleged patient mistreatment, while others say that Gabriel escaped from the mental ward to unknown whereabouts. Either way, Alberto and his family never heard from their father again. These accounts would later be Alberto's inspiration for the song titled "De Sol a Sol (A Mis Padres)" - English translation, "From Sun Up to Sun Down (To My Parents)".

Juan, dejó atrás
Su espada y su dinero
Juan, el quiere más
Q' ser solo el primero
Vá por ahí, sin preocupación
Ni tiene casa, ni un coche sport
Va, sin su Visa, sin MasterCard
Todo lo que quiere es amor
Y es q' tan solo el amor
Puede más
Q' el oro y su resplandor
Mucho más
Y es q' tan solo el amor
Abriga más
Q'l cuero, el mink o visón
Mucho más
Juan, dejó atrás
Su ropa y sus complejos
Juan, precisa más
Q' verse en mil espejos
Vá por ahí, sin discriminación
Ni tiene raza, ni religión
Va gritando fuerte su convicción
"Más vale la yema q'l cascarón"
Y es q' tan solo el amor
Puede más
Q' el oro y su resplandor
Mucho más
Y es q' tan solo el amor
Abriga más
Q'l cuero, el mink o visón
Mucho más
Javier Alzérreca (transcript)
