Hey,

George! What are you doing here on
Ladies Night?

I just needed some peace and quiet.

What's that?

My dad found out I needed money, so he
sent me a check for $20 ,000.

That's great! Now you can pay back
Angie's company for all that stuff that

burned up in the garage.

Yeah, but am I taking money from a guy
who abandoned me and my mom?

Hey! I'll tell you what they say on
Texas Justice.

Judge Larry would say, the money's
yours.

Have some vision on the court.

Bam!

Keep it up and you'll never score with
any woman in this ball.

Bam!

Hey, good looking.

Angie, I told you I needed to be alone.

Hey, Ernie, did you see that brunette
over by the jukebox?

She was checking you out.

Really? How do I look?

No, don't tell me. I want to feel
confident when I go over there.

I got about ten seconds before he
figures out you were lying.

I'm going to Phoenix with you to see
your dad.

No. Which Brunette? The other one. Oh!

I want to help you.

Look, I need to be alone so I can think
about this on the drive.

Okay, you said to consider taking the
check because we need the money. I know

that. But everything's different now.

You mean I didn't want to meet my dad
for the first time coming to him for

money? I won't talk. I promise. I just
want to be there for you.

No.

George, there's the fights that I win
and there's the fights that I let you

This is one of the fights that I win.
I'm going.

Is this the one you were talking about,
Angie?

Because it's not funny.

I'm sorry. I just needed to talk to my
husband alone.

Who let him go?

At least you know what you're getting
with those pens.

Carmen, get your butt off the counter.
We eat there.

No, Dad, we eat sur la table.

Respecte ton père.

Mais regarde, il est fou.

Il ne sait pas le français.

You know, you two can talk in any
language, but it all sounds like...

Penny,

I'm glad you're here.

Hey, that sounds strange, doesn't it?

I'm going with George tomorrow to meet
his dad in Phoenix. We need you to watch

the kids for a day.

Hell no. If he's going, I'm going.

Why? I thought you never wanted to see
him again.

I don't. But I don't want him telling
you a bunch of lies about what happened

between us. Mom, there's nothing he can
say that can change the way I feel about

you.

Thank you. That's not a good thing.

I'm going.

If Benny's going, then the kids are
going to have to come too.

I can't go. Olivia and I have a science
project on Monday night. It's going to

stay over her place tomorrow night.

Fine. Then it's just you, Max.

But who's going to watch Mr. Needles?

Oh, he can come too.

Anyone else? Angie, maybe your parents
would like to see Phoenix.

Because now my painful personal journey
has turned into a family vacation.

Oh, let's not forget the camera.

Here's me weeping at the Grand Canyon.

All the people that love and support
you?

Before I married you, my life was just
fine without love and support. Right,

Mom?

I hardly knew you were there.

So,

what brings you here on ladies' night?

You've been sitting there looking at me
for three hours and that's what you came

up with?

Look, I'm not very good at this.

If you went out with me, you'd see I'm a
really nice person.

What else you got?

See ya.

I know, huh?

Remember, you remember.

Where you at?

Right now, right now?

That's to be the nation's largest
minority, but couldn't we leave one damn

station in the desert?

Okay,

Benny. One more push.

Here comes the head!

him, honey.

He looks okay.

And he's not hungry either.

I found him some licorice and cheese
puffs.

Pass him back before he blows.

Okay,

that last one was not the dog.

George.

What?

Have you decided whether or not you're
going to forgive your dad?

How can I decide anything? I haven't had
time to think. I don't know what I'm

going to do.

Magic 8 -Ball, can my dad forgive his
dad or not?

Reply, Hazy. Try again.

Magic 8 -Ball. Ask him something for me,
Mac.

Magic 8 -Ball, should Mac stop asking me
questions?

Do it, Max.

Or risk the curse of those who defied
the Magic 8 -Ball.

Magic 8 -Ball.

Should I defy you?

Put it away!

Dad, pick a color.

What?

Oh, a cootie catcher. I remember those.

Let me see that, Max.

Those were fun. Dad! Max, put your
seatbelt back on.

When are we going to pull over? I need a
smoke.

I told you to bring your gum.

I chewed it all.

Okay, honey. One more time.

One cigarette.

Two cigarettes.

Watch it.

Up. Boop.

Three cigarettes.

Six pack?

No, no. That was yesterday's lesson.

Come on, you can do it.

Cigarette?

Very good.

It's two in the morning. What's the kid
still doing?

And what the hell is he doing around
cigarettes?

He wanted to say goodnight to his daddy,
but he wasn't home.

Well, I stopped for a beer after work.

You know what I did after work, Manny?

I took the bus and picked up George from
my mom's. Then we came home and waited

for you.

We got kind of bored, so I taught George
a new word.

What was that new word?

Cheater? One time, Benny. Now every time
I'm late, you think I'm with a woman.

It's been six hours, Benny.

You're just paranoid because the Lopez
men are so good looking, huh?

If you could just crow into that head.

Man, one of these days, that thing is
just going to snap right off.

Running around one of these days,
something of yours is going to snap

Drop it, Benny. Entiende?

Start coming home on time. I would if I
didn't have to come home to you. Screw

you. No, I don't need this. I'm out of
here.

I'm getting some smokes.

That smoke's right here.

Pick another line. I'll stick to my
first one.

I think we just flooded a prairie dog's
house. Let's get out of here.

Listen, now that we're alone, I got
something I want to give you. What is

Here.

It's a letter your father wrote you when
you were four.

Why didn't you ever give it to me?

I think I just did.

You were talking about 32 years ago.
Look, it came two years after he left.

were getting along fine. Of course I was
getting along fine. You told me he was

dead. Okay.

If this is going to be a witch hunt...

Dear

George, you may be too young to
understand,

but you're better off without me.

Just remember, I'm leaving your mother,
I'm not leaving you.

Love, Dad.

Do you know what this letter would have
meant to me as a kid? What kind of

mother are you?

Oh yeah, I raised you for 18 years. He
writes you one letter. It's a tie.

You told me he never tried to contact
me, that he was dead, that he never held

me, that everybody pays rent when
they're 12.

When do the lies stop, Mom?

Right after this.

Here.

He left you this St. Christopher
medallion for protection or something.

Get out.

Get out of the car.

There's a gas station about a mile back
you can walk. Get out.

George, you can't do this.

There's been too many lies. I'm not
confused enough about my father, and now

do this.

No, I mean I took out the car keys when
you were walking Mr. Needles. You really

can't do this.

Got a spare above the visor.

George, I'm all for ditching her, but
let's not do it with Max in the car.

Get in.

You know what?

Forget it. I can hitch it. I'll show
some leg.

I've seen your legs. You'll die out
here. Get in.

Lopez Construction. That's it.

You have anything to say?

No.

Any advice?

I don't know how you're going to feel
when you see your dad.

But you'll know.

And you'll say what you need to say.

And then on the way back, I can tell you
what you did wrong.

Hey, what are we sitting here yapping
about? We're all going in. No.

I'm going in.

We're not even sure he's in there. I'll
come back and get you.

Wait, Dad.

Yeah? Pick a card.

This is totally different.

You want to be part of my decision?

Yeah.

Okay, red.

R -E -D. Now pick a number.

321.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Yeah.

Manny Lopez?

Yeah.

Do you know who I am?

You're from the city?

No.

Union rep?

I'm George Lopez.

George?

I was expecting a call, but this is even
better.

I thought we should talk in person.

Good, good, good. Sit down, sit down.

How's your mother?

Same.

Well, that's too bad.

My God.

Look at you.

In my head, you're always two.

You and your family around the pool.

That's a great picture.

Yeah, well, if you're going to be around
town for a while, why don't you come

over and have a swim?

You know, man, I can't take this check
from you.

Benny called and told my wife you needed
the money. Well, she had no right to do

that. George, come on. Take the check.
We're family.

Yeah?

Why did you leave?

Look, the past is the past.

What's important is I can help you now.

I don't need your help now.

I needed a father.

I mean, how could you leave a family?

You had a responsibility.

I wasn't getting along with you, Mom.

It wasn't much of a life.

But things have turned out for the best.

You came out okay, and look at what I've
done for myself.

You think you're a success?

Look, I don't care how many checks you
write, and I don't care how big your

company is. You're a failure.

And you can't buy me.

Hey, you know what? You got this
cockiness from me. Man, I didn't get

from you but a letter full of excuses.

Even without a father, I'm more of a man
than you'll ever be. All right, that's

it. That's enough. You left the woman
sitting in her living room with a kid

no way to make ends meet. You turned
your back on us. Are you done? No, I'm

done. The only mistake I've made was
leaving you with that crazy cabrona.

That were my mother.

Now I'm done.

297.

Go,

go, go.

He wasn't there!

Still thinking about your dad?

All my life I wanted to see him with my
own eyes.

It was like looking at a stranger.

I'm sorry.

There's just one thing I wish I would
have asked him.

What's that?

When did he start going bald?

Hope we're still laughing when we're
bankrupt.

It's not out. Sure, son.

Sorry you didn't get another grandpa
like you wanted.

That's okay.

But you got a dad who loves you. And no
matter what, I'm always going to be

there. Angie, help your son with this.

Find something else so I can be there
for you like a ball.

Okay.

I'm here to help.

If that means I have to fight with your
husband, so be it.

Angie, did you ask your father to fly
out here?

No. She didn't have to.

The father knows when his daughter is in
trouble.

Especially when the daughter calls the
mother two times a day.

And the mother won't let the father
sleep.

What do you want, Vic?

I want you to take a check.

For $17 ,000 from... Now let's fight.

I've been waiting to kick your butt for
16 years.

I will be calling you Fidel as I whip
you.

Some kind of handout?

No, it's a loan.

But I'm paying you interest.

I don't want interest.

Then we can fight over that.

And I will be calling you Benny as I
whip you.

One condition.

I don't ever want to hear you say I
can't take care of my family.

I work too hard to get your respect.

George, a man who puts his family before
his bride is someone I'll always

respect.

Thanks, Dad.

Oh, now I'm your daddy.

I suppose you want me to change your
diaper.

Don't you walk away from me, son. Your
father is talking to you.

All right, Mom.

We're all alone. Let's clear the air.

Are there any more lies I should know
about?

Yeah.

What?

Well, there's a bunch of things.

But I'm going to space them out so I
won't look like such a bad person.

I told Manny I hid them for you.

Really?

That is the first gift you ever gave me
that I actually wanted.

Tell me about it.

I hid them once and he went down.

Paint a picture for me.

There was blood in the corner of his
mouth.
