- I'm sorry. - For?

For not being able to help supplement our income.

but you want to check out at Kmart or take memos, right?

[Laughs]

Why aren't you mad at me?

I am mad, I don't like being the sole breadwinner but I know you're trying, so

but you're not the sole breadwinner.

How much do you charge an hour? 30 dollars?

How many clients do you get a day? two, three maybe, if you're lucky.

Come on I could use a backrub.

So, gonna ask you something,

Dime

Why can't you do this for a living?

- Do what? - What you're doing now.

You mean become a masseuse, you're kidding right?

No, I'm serious, I mean, I just sold a house to this lady,

she charges 75 dollars an hour, she comes home with like a thousand bucks a day.

What?

How can you tell me this?

- Hey, I'm just - How can you say this to me?

I mean come on, Ami, you got a certificate, right?

it's income.

You're saying that it's okay for me, your wife,

to work over a complete stranger for profit.

Is that what you're telling me, Hector?

To rub down some guy? I've been there before I met you.

They're all the same, they're all the fucking same.

Would you like me to tell you higher on top?

I don't know, well, do girls then, I don't know.

I don't do strangers anymore, okay?

just you, or can't you appreciate that?

Don't get mad, all right?

Sometimes I wonder about you, Hector.

The fuck does that mean?

Hey, you know what, just forget about it, right?

Just, just forget it.

[exhales]

Ok, I'm sorry.

I know you meant well.

Hector.

Hey, papi.

I gotta go.

And remember, don't accept anything less than 90,000 a year.

And five weeks vacation.

Good luck.

[music]

[stranger] Hey beautiful, you're looking nice today.

Oh your husband don't got to know about nothing, baby.

[music]

Come on, girl.

Oh oh oh, easy Ma, come on, baby, come on.

Get the fuck outta here.

Oh you are messig with the wrong bitch.

[music]

Did he touch you?

No, but it was getting a little scary, you know.

Do I know you?

My! How quickly we forget.

Oh my God, Norma.

Who's Norma?

It is you, you fucking a little teaser.

Wow, it's being, what?

Well, I'm not counting but I'm guessing ten, twelve years.

- How are you? - I'm good.

Me too.

Married, I see a ring on your finger there.

Yes, happily.

How long?

A year next Sunday.

Ah, you plan to celebrate, dinner, dancing?

Something like that.

- So you're working? - yeah, yeah, that's my gypsy over there.

It's not exactly legal.

What do you mean?

I just got to be careful, you know what I mean?

where you headed?

The job market is for shit, but you got to keep at it,

I want no shit, that's why I work for my own damn self.

Me too, personal trainer, all I need are clients.

So, are you married, you live alone?

- Yeah, I live with a guy, he's cool. - Good.

Hey, Lincoln high.

Put me on your lips and...

Stop the car.

[music]

- Is that your... - Yeah.

He was supposed to be in the office all day.

- You wanna surprise him? - No.

Are you sure?

Yeah, just take me home.

I really need to be alone right now.

[exhales]

You're always the one sitting in the back of the classroom,

it took me a whole semester to get you to talk to me.

Loaners are so boring.

Just give me your number and your address too.

Like you'll actually use it.

kiss my ass, Millie.

- I'll call you, I promise. - Whatever.

[music]

[voice inside the room] No, you're hurting me.

No, come on.

[laughs] I know.

[music]

You were snoring.

I had a long day.

One of these days a cop is going to pull you over and give you a ticket

for driving a cab without a license.

I mean, it doesn't even look like a cab.

I'll be careful.

[music]

Why can't you work in an office like a normal person? Like me?

Yeah, right.

I'm serious.

Roxy, if I want I can make two or three hundred dollars tax-free, a day.

Going out again?

Looks that way.

- Another party. - Looks that way.

But like, I'm not invited, right?

Why should I invite you?

The last party we went to, you threw up the little sip of vodka I gave you.

I had to clean up your mess in front of my friends.

You don't talk to anyone, you slink away in the corner like a mouse,

after ten minutes you want to go home, you embarrass me.

I thought Puerto Rican chicks were supposed to be cool.

I don't mean to embarrass you, okay.

Well, the last time you did.

It just, just...

Just what? What?

I just want it to be the way it used to be, you know.

Well, the way it used to be, sucks.

I can't stay here all night, not anymore.

[music]

What are you doing?

[music]

[knocking door]

That's all you want, now you can go out.

Norma, open this door and give me back my shit.

I never go anywhere without my shit.

Exactly.

Listen you fucking wacko, you needy little prick, give me back my shit.

Once you can get all goofy, act weird on me.

Don't you read warning labels?

You don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't take drugs, what's your problem?

I won't be like you, you hear me?

[shuts door]

[sobs]

[tv is on background]

[door opens]

How was your day?

Oh please,

I had to show the silly ass woman every unit in the building up on the west side

before she can make up her silly little mind, as to which one she was gonna rent.

- A client? - What else could it be?

I'm hungry, what's for dinner?

Steak.

I can set you up with Mr. La Perla himself, on the 19th.

That's 9 a.m. sharp.

The timing was perfect, aren't you glad you walked in here on a whim?

but I will need the other certification?

Your certification will do for now.

- If you are even a minute late - Oh, I know Mr. La Perla is very unforgiving.

Hey baby I just wanted you to know

that I might have a shot at La Bella fitness club,

remember the one that got that big write-up at the times,

Yei! Anyway, why do you have your cell shut off?

Call me, love you, bye.

[music]

That was my "boyfriend".

I'm the one that found that place.

Party girl.

That's all she is.

I sure can pick them.

Yup. Tell me about it.

What do you mean?

None of my business.

What do you mean?

Come home with me and have a drink?

You really want to get me out of DWI, don't you?

Drink up.

What happened?

You first.

she called me a jealous mother and biatch, I called her hoe, your turn.

I caught him cheating on me.

Men.

Women.

I can't wait for him to walk through that door.

Maybe I should go.

Do you want to?

No.

I can't get that cunts face out of my mind,

the way she was laughing, like a dream little gay.

I wonder if I know her.

Guessing you married him for his looks?

Yeah, how the fuck you know?

Hello, looks rule.

[door opens]

What's here? A slumber party?

- So, where you take her? - Take who?

Don't even bother, Hector, I saw you with her.

With who?

Tell me I was hallucinating,

tell me I didn't see you put your arm around that bitch.

Don't call her a bitch.

Oh!

Don't call who a bitch.

Just what the fuck is going on with you?

who's she?

Don't change the subject.

You opened up my Brugal?

I'll break it over your head? Who is she? How long?

Don't do that, don't you fucking walk away from me, I asked you a question.

- Milly I should go. - Go where? it's 2:00 a.m.

Since when do you spy on me?

I was on my way to see you, to share something with you.

I thought we were a family.

Ok.

Ok.

Good, good. Empty the bottle and loosen your tongue, cos I want to hear it.

I can't fucking believe this.

Excuse me, I didn't catch that.

- She's a working girl. - Who, miss thing?

Rebecca that's her name, she's a college graduate from Yale

and she's been working ever since,

she's a buyer for Bloomingdale's and you know what, she works six days a week.

What are you trying to say?

- And we met just last month. - So I guess that makes her an easy lay.

How old is she, nineteen, twenty?

She turns 26 tomorrow.

Oh great, where are you going to celebrate some fancy hotel room

or one of your empty apartments?

That's right Mil, go ahead make it easy for me, come on.

What the fuck did you expect?

Tell me something, Hector,

Are you in love with her?

It's a simple question, yes or no.

I don't know.

you don't know but you're fucking her, right?

Or do you have to think about that?

Listen, I'm being honest with you, right, so give me a fucking break.

Give you a break? You broke my heart, you fucking asshole.

Are you gonna see her, again?

slow down, I don't know.

fuck you, slow down, I'm your wife.

You're my wife?

You know what, I'm getting sick and tired of coming home

and having to hear, you know what Hector, they didn't want to give me a job today

because I dropped out of high school and I need a certificate, and I need this,

and I... Let me finish, let me finish, all right?

Do you mind?

Norma, go upstairs.

You can use my bedroom.

We were never a team, Mildred.

I was the only one busting my ass.

Was?

While you were out there taking dancing lessons

instead of hustling up some fat guys so you can make some money,

you know this isn't the 19th century,

I can't afford to be the sole breadwinner anymore, you understand that?

So it's all my fault, that's what you're telling me.

yeah, you never could take a hint.

My fault.

You know what, it is my fault, you know why?

because let's face it Nena, I married a dippy.

- Millie, what are you doing? - What?

Mind your own, Norma.

- What was that? - Shit.

[crying]

[dramatic music]

You can help yourself to whatever, you know.

OJ, milk, whatever.

want to discuss it?

Discuss what?

Do you miss him?

No.

Pure balls though he spoke to you after what he did.

Yeah, um, Norma you planning on working today

or, I don't know, finding a place to live?

There's this furnished room not too far from here,

No, Millie, actually I plan on crashing here permanently.

What are you doing?

I'll get my suitcase and put it in the trunk.

Oh, now she's pouting, it's pouting time.

Oh yeah, and you've got a face like a neon sign.

Fine

I'll let you drop me to the citybut I'm paying for the ride.

I'll let you pay for the ride but you've got to come with me to see the furnished room.

are you really looking forward to living by yourself?

innocent question.

Well, I mean for all I know, he might be thinking

about dumping that thing there and coming back.

Is that what you want?

No, it's too late, he's out of my life.

But you still love him.

You know, you should work for the tabloid, innocent question?

Of course, I still love him, what about you?

that wasn't love, that was convenience, I hate living alone.

Well, get used to it.

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

Hello.

Okay.

Well, is there anything you want to say to me cuz I'm on my way out.

What? Wait, I thought you said you weren't sure whether or not...

Whoa, she better remember me.

'Cause I sure as hell remember her,

she was always sitting in the back of the classroom

like she was all that.

I know Cucha, you were just shy.

Yeah that she just shy, oh yeah right.

So, tell me, how's married life with Hector?

Cucha, you should have been at their wedding reception,

Que santo bizcocho nena.

So tell me, Yyou planning tener muchos babies?

No, not really.

You didn't ask but...

He popped the question just last month,

So how was your crib?

I started a family.

Now I have roaches everywhere.

You're starting to enjoy this a little too much.

No, I hate it, keep going.

- Can I ask you something? - No.

- Why did you call me? - Why do friends call?

Is that what we are?

Aren't we?

I don't know, I don't hear from you in a month,

Now you're giving me free workouts, stretching me out.

Oh please, give me a break.

Guess what...

I was so excited when you called me, I kissed the phone.

Oh, stop it.

Hey Millie,

You afraid of me?

Should I be?

No.

Cause you're not my type.

Do I have your word on that?

Cause I'm really into guys, Norma.

It's your loss.

You don't know what you're missing.

No, you don't know what you're missing.

Hey, do you know what I would love?

No, tell me.

This is sick, Millie, I swear to God, no lie, I don't know about you.

Come on, she should be getting out soon.

- You really gonna go through with this? - Yeah.

You know what, I don't want no part in it. Not going, I'm gonna wait here.

- This is retarded. - Come on you said you would.

Just tell me why, what are you gonna get out of this?

I'm bored.

Are you coming or not?

This is fucked up, people get arrested for stalking, in case you haven't heard.

Who is stalking, I just wanna see her close.

She should be walking out soon.

[music]

Shit.

It must have been the night the condom broke.

Well?

I... I m carrying a life.

No, I've decided, I'm keeping it.

Just like Madonna, it's his baby.

It's mine too.

His work was done after what, two minutes?

That's what we are, banks,

[music]

Fucking bitch!

[phone rings]

[kart noise]

Mildred.

Hi.

Ok, so what to tell me...

Oh, I m just helping a friend load up on baby stuff.

- Anyone I know. - No.

Anyway, it was nice to see you again, my besos a las chamaquitas.

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

- That Hector tipped on you. - Hey hey hey!

Nobody tipped, not that is any of your asunto

but if you must know, I kicked him out. Alright?

Eat your own Hollywood story, ok?

Well, eat your Hollywood story for you.

Your exhusband is getting married.

Good, now he can cheat on her, see how she likes it.

Don't count on it, mija, they are madly in love.

Just go fuck off.

Oh! Did I just hit a nerve?

Millie.

I don't mind you shutting out your friends.

But if you aren't planning on coming to my shower, you should have made that clear.

I don't like being stood up, it's embarrassing.

And rude.

You wanna tell me what that shit was about?

Norma I want you to do me a big favor,

Mhmm.

In the future, when we step out together,

I want you to stop looking like a gangster and start looking like a lady.

Oh, did I embarrass you back there, is this what this is about?

My self esteem, never been higher.

What the hell is wrong with me that I can't keep friends.

She was right, I should have shown up to her stupid shower.

Why?

Because I'm lost.

Wow. You really made me feel like shit there, Millie.

Fuck, no, look...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

Just say the word, ok? And I'm out of your face for good.

No, look, Norma...

Norma look at me.

You're the man.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm sorry.

I have no control, I'm sorry, that didn't count.

Let's get out of here.

[music]

[both singing]

[both laughing]

[music]

Do not use an electric blanket when you're pregnant.

The thing I couldn't handle was morning sickness.

Mom's milk, mucho importante.

That's why I would think twice before having amnio synthetics.

Amniocentesis.

I was so puffed up, my boyfriend didn't recognize me.

Because you might get a miscarriage.

You should try yoga.

Because if your kid is born with down syndrome,

maybe that's what God meant to happen.

And stay away from dog shit.

It's beautiful.

amnio synthetics.

Yoga.

Pain.

Hey, how's business?

No, I stopped trying.

I think the unemployment checks are spoiling me.

I'm coming over.

I wanna see how you live.

[music]

He jacked up the rent, I refused to pay it.

[door opens]

Hey lady, you need a ride?

Some weather we're having, huh?

Where are you going?

No, really, I've fallen in love with you.

You look just...

I look like a normal every day, high society whoe.

You look wonderful.

Yeah, so I think I'm gonna start dating guys now.

[laughs]

You got the papers and shit?

Yeah, it's all settled.

The house is mine.

And?

That's it.

Wow.

Wow, what?

You didn't tell him about little junior?

- No. - No? Are you crazy?

I don't want a dime from him.

It's called child support,

Mildred.

I know what it's called.

I couldn't bring myself to tell him, don't ask why.

and you call me weird.

Ok, shut up, it's done, ya!

You let that prick get away...

No, let me stop because I don't even have the words anyhow.

- What about all the money? - Norma!

Hey girl, what's up?

- You got the house? - That's right. No, I didn't get the house.

- You gave it to her? - No, yeah, I gave it to her.

- Well, we can talk about our house now. - Alright, alright.

Come here

[laughs] Ah! No!

Come on, man. You know I love him.

Come here papi, come here.

[dramatic music]

How do you know it'd be this church?

It's the one I picked before he decided that we should get married at city hall.

I was wearing a black gown and he was wearing a t-shirt that looked like a tux.

[laughs] Wow.

Sorry.

[laughs]

They'll be counting money, not fucking, trust me.

Mmm, I wish you had that baby already.

Why?

So you could go right up to the motherfucker

and hold it to his face.

If you fucking start crying right now, I swear to God I'm gonna bust your ass.

I'm alright, it's just

starting to make me sad.

[music]

Yo, yo, yo, man, yo.

What? What?

Yo, that's his ex.

- Which one? - Yo, Millie.

Millie, yo Millie.

- She's gonna hate on me all of the sudden? - She's gotta check up here, man.

Yo, come here, man.

What's up? What's going on?

Hi Tito, bye Tito.

Hold on, hold on.

Yo, I just wanna know how Hector can cut off

such a beautiful looking mami, like yourself?

Why you gotta be so unpolite, man?

Who's your buddy? [blows kiss]

- What you doing here? - Come on, give us a break.

No, no, no. Hold on. Hold.

Hold on, I don't think you're so good, pendejo.

Yo, we're just talking.

I don't even understand why you gotta act like that.

- All up in my face. - Right here and shit.

Seriously, what's up Mellie, I'm available now.

Me too.

Say hello to Hector for me.

Woah, what ya'll doing?

Wait a second, mami.

[gasps]

Yo, aw man, yo...

You wanna see my cock, ring? I'll show you my cock ring.

Like the one on your finger?

[laughs] Shut up!

You're lucky I'm a gentleman. You're fucking dikes, now?

Loo at my chin.

Oh shit.

We're the fucking adults out here.

And you didn't do nothing, man.

Yo, what the fuck you have to go and do that for, huh?

What the fuck are you trying to prove?

I was just... Am...

Don't you ever pull that shit on me, again.

The fuck are you thinking?

I'm sorry.

Yo, I am trying hard as hell to keep my hands off you

and you go and pull that shit?

You know what, it's alright, I forgive your ass.

Won't happen again.

What's wrong?

My fucking hand hurts.

It's only for a couple of months, till I get the house.

No, it's ok. Tell your cousin, thanks for leasing it to us.

That was very thoughtful of him.

Could get used to it.

Did he say something about roaches?

[music]

Becky! You mind not banging things around, back there?

What are you doing?

I'm just, you know, moving forniture.

Like what? 'Cause I got calls to make, I got a business to run.

You said you wouldn't be bringing your work home anymore.

Yeah, well, selling property to deadbeat clients is twenty-four-seven, baby.

We discussed that.

What are you doing now?

I think the sofa would look better by the corner.

Isn't that the same sofa you moved just last week?

And we should repaint the bedroom, off white.

It's not ours to pain, we went over that.

I wish you wouldn't leave empty beer cans on top of the cd player.

That's no ours either.

Can we discuss home improvement some other time?

What's the hold up with our dream house, anyway?

You said two months.

What the hell is this doing on the floor?

[music]

[from the inside] No, that's fucking bullshit...

So you're gonna come home whenever you feel like it?

Don't fucking start.

[two girls fighting]

I'm always beating your ass.

Yo, married man.

I thought you gave up the thoroughbreds...

Yeah, well, Becky doesn't know, it won't hurt me.

Oh shit, it sounds like Becky is already laying down the law.

I'm here, ain't I?

Yeah, except you gotta do it on the sly.

You shouldn't talk, Tito, you're divorced.

So are you.

Getaway, third race, eight to one.

You sure? You gotta pen? You gotta pen?

So, how's married life treating you?

Nirvana, son.

Yeah.

Yeah, you sound disappointed.

What the fuck is wrong with you, man?

- How is your tooth? - How's my tooth...

I should have pressed charges on that scallop.

Fuck you, bitch, you could have done something about it.

What? What do you want me to do?

Defend your honor and dickslap her?

[laughs]

Yo, you should have seen it, Hector, man.

[laughs] - See what?

That shit was funny.

- You mean Carlos didn't tell you? - Tell me about what?

- The day of your wedding. - What about it?

- Your ex-wife just happened to be in the... - Mellie?

She was in the area, man, with some dike, and I know a dike when I see one

and that was a dike.

I said hello to Millie, Millie said hello back to me.

And all of the sudden, her dike companion

cops an attitude about it and said something,

I say something back, the next thing you know, she gets in my face

- And pff... - Yo, she like knocked you on your face.

Fuck you faggot.

- Anyway, the walked away. - And that was the end of it.

No, man, let me tell him what happened.

Yo, let it go, man.

Why? He's gotta right to know.

Yo, that's his ex-wife you're talking about, man, come on.

Yo, you brought it up, pendejo.

No no, Tito, finish the story, come on.

Yo, come on, man. You're a fucking asshole, you know that?

Tito talk to me, what's up, come on.

Well, it's just that...

- That Mellie put her arm around her and... - And what?

And kissed her on her mouth.

Yo, Hector, I'm sure it didn't mean anything.

Yeah. Yeah, she was just probably fucking with us,

- You know what I'm saying. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

She knew we'll get back to you.

Yo, man. We'll talk to you later.

[dramatic music]

- Yo, you mean Carlos didn't tell you?- Tell me about what?

- The day of your wedding.- What about it?

She was in the area, man, with some dike,and I know a dike when I see one

and that was a dike.

[music]

Where were you? I've been dressed for two hours.

It feels strange watching television wearing Furstenberg.

What's wrong?

[music]

Nothing.

We're supposed to be having dinner with my parents, tonight.

Was that definite?

Hector, they made reservations last night, I told you.

You go, I don't feel good.

And why are you drinking?

Leave me alone, Becky.

Why are you acting this way?

Are you mad at me?

Can you tell me why,

why is it that we have to go every other weekend

to dine at some expensive restaurant with your parents?

I mean, what the fuck is up with that?

Why are you cursing?

And what is it? They can't stand being away from their little girl

for more than two weeks? What the...

An your mother with the fucking phone calls, Hector, is my Becky there?

Hector, it's been two weeks, when you guys are gonna come visit us?

- I'm their only child. - And so am I.

My mother fucking calls me twice a year.

She didn't come to my wedding 'cause she can't fucking fly.

Hector, why are you talking to me this way?

You know what, I'm going to bed.

Enjoy your dinner.

[music]

No, ma, I can't come over because we are renovating.

Ma, can I call you back later, please?

Alright, yes, bendicion, I love you too.

Bye.

Ay, fucking itch!

Ah, this is driving me crazy, it's unrecommended.

Not fun.

Alright.

- Red raspberries. - Are you sure?

Good for the uterus.

Multigrain flakes, excellent source of fiber.

Make a wish, honey, make three wishes.

Well...

An end to the nosebleeds

and the itching,

a healthy baby

and...

and an end to the nosebleeds and the fucking itching.

And... [laughs]

[opens and closes drawers abruptly]

If I have to fire anothere sales boy today, 'cause he doesn't know how to spread perfume,

I just don't know what...

What are you looking for?

My watch, is worth maybe three thousand.

It'll turn up.

Come and give me a foot massage.

You used to love to give me a foot massage.

I'm selling it, I need it by tomorrow.

Why?

Because I blew another sale today, alright?

People aren't buying, I could use the help, you wanna help me?

You know, you have been snapping on me a whole lot, lately.

Look, why don't you just help me, because I don't wanna get into this right now.

Fine, Hector lost his watch, help Hector find his watch.

If I find it you owe me a foot massage.

That's supposed to be cute? Listen, I'm gonna check the kitchen.

Shit.

Who told you, you could look in there?

This is not a marriage, Hector.

- No kidding.

What do you want from me? What is it you want from me?

Do you miss her?

No.

[phone rings]

Hello. She's not here.

Was that mommy?

Did you just hang up on mommy?

She'll live.

[slap]

[phone rings]

Mommy? No, everything is hunky-dory.

How's your cold?

[music]

Hey.

[music]

[crying]

You forgot something.

[crying]

[music]

[phone rings]

[hangs phone]

[music]

What's that?

Oh it's just something to hang out with Roxanne,

It's nothing.

How do I look?

I'd hire you in a second.

I really need this job, Norma.

[ominous music]

Let's get that job.

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

Could be mami.

Could be calling to confirm.

[phone rings]

Hello.

Who?

Yeah, so, what can I do for you?

Well, I'm actually on my way out for a job interview,

Excuse me?

Well, why can't you tell me over the phone?

What? No no no, wait, wait, no, ok, don't do that.

Listen to me, ok?

Ah, are you listening?

I need you to put the knife away and try to calm yourself.

Ok. What?

Ok ok, no no no, ok ok, I'll wait, I'll wait.

Ok, alright, just, just don't. Ok?

Yes, ok, it's 51 avenue.

[hangs phone]

A knife?

She said that...

If I don't see her, she...

Shit!

A knife?

What the fuck does she want with me?

Ok, ok listen, you need to relax or you gonna have the baby right here.

There is a woman, coming here, to my house with a knife.

[ominous music]

Does she even know how to get here?

She's from Jersey.

- For real? - Yup.

Little miss Bloomi is from right here.

You know what, fuck here because we need to get out of here.

Oh sure and then come back and find blood on my doorstep.

It's all a bluff.

Oh really?

- She wants something. - Like...

- Getting to it... - Punchline.

She wants something.

What? Is not lit.

What the fuck is keeping her? I'm giving her another ten.

You know what, I got it.

He is in love with you and wants you back.

He told her he wants you back, and she's coming here to...

Oh, you know what, you know what, I got it.

She found out you're pregnant and then she's coming here to...

Ok no. That's ridiculous.

You know I never thought you'd marry someone like him.

I was in love.

He had me at 'let's fuck'.

It's her.

[ominous music]

[Mildred] I'm listening.

When is it due?

Oh no, I'm the one who's gonna be asking the questions.

- So what do you want? - Does he know?

She don't hear so good.

Does who know?

My husband.

What's he told you?

Listen, you wanted to talk to me about something

and I'm listening so...

- I'm sorry, I guess I came here to talk about... - Yes. Talk about what?

How he never wants... That he loved your face alone.

Can you get to your point because I have a car waiting.

Yeah, my car.

I'm sorry again.

It seems like I'm always sorry,

that I'm sorry to have come here and keep you waiting.

And I'm sorry you should have to see this

Oh shit.

Did he do that?

So I need to know,

has my husband ever once raised the hand to you,

even if it was only to pull back.

You're shaking, do you wanna sit down? Do you wanna drink?

- A lawyer? - I couldn't... A lawyer?

She's the poster girl for denial, this one.

Norma, be quiet.

So you wanna know if Hector ever hit me or tried to hit me

and the answer is no.

Why is that?

- 'Cause he wouldn't there. - Why?

He just wouldn't.

Huh.

o you wanna call anyone? The police?

- The police? - Yeah, they handle shit like this.

And make him mad? No, no one, no police,

Not even my mother.

What happened?

I would have taken a baseball bat and wack him in the corner.

Norma!

Do you have a problem staying put with your thoughts?

Oh! Can I not have my say?

I mean, instead of coming here wasting our time,

she should be going to the police and pressing charges against the motherfucker.

Don't call him that.

- Does he know that you were coming here? - What? No.

I never once talked back to him.

Ok, that doesn't answer my question.

- Raise my voice to him - Hello.

He called me a murderer.

He called you a murderer?

Who did you kill?

[doorbell]

[ominous music]

[Hector] Millie, Millie.

What do you want?

Is she here?

[Mildred] Who?

My wife.

[Mildred] No.

Cut the shit, man, I know she's in there.

What's with the fucking chain anyway?

Oh yeah? And I'll cops on you.

You think I won't?

Listen, I know she's in there, If you don't open the fucking door

I'm gonna break the fucking door down, how do you like that?

[Hector] Open the door, Millie.

[Hector] Open the fucking door.

How long?

Next month.

Mine?

Well, it wasn't her.

How they hanging, wife-beater?

- You never thought to, like, tell me? - No.

How come?

I didn't know until after.

- That's your excuse? - My excuse is my own.

I'm...

Millie, I've been thinking that

a lot about the mistake I made

and you know,

Marrying her...

I don't know, it made me think that...

I can't live with a girl like Becky, you know.

I don't know how I let that fucking little bitch

talk me into fucking marrying her.

Whoa! Whoa whoa.

Talked you into marrying her?

I know nothing I say will make you forgive me.

Fucking nay.

But I'd do anything and I swear to God, if we could just start over...

What? So you can beat the shit out of me?

You know what she is? She is a fucking spoiled brat.

A fucking little momma's girl that's what she is, right.

Yeah, that's right Becky. You hear me?

You fucking silly little bitch.

- Millie! - What?

If we're gonna make that job interview, we gotta haul ass.

Hector, just leave her alone, ok? Just leave her alone y vete.

Yeah, look at this

and call her down because I want her to see it too.

She's not coming down.

Yo, yo, that's my car!

Fuck.

So is your chauffeur Ms. Dickless?

Look who's talking.

Didn't took you long to hook up with the little Saffo, eh?

Let me ask you a question. Who does what to who?

Fuck you.

Momma's girl better come down here and tell me she's sorry.

[footsteps]

Sorry for what?

For putting up with your cheating, and your filthy mouth buddies,

and your fucking excuses?

I am sick and tired of being on your pain, oh mindless.

Tired of slinking away like a dog every time you get drunk

and yell at me!

Oh yeah, keep it up.

You wouldn't hit her but you'd hit me?

Yeah, keep it up, I'm getting a hard-on.

I'm your wife.

Yeah and so was she

and I was better off.

Hector! Out, now!

What, you got something you wanna show me?

And there is something right here, huh. You recognize it?

I wanna know why.

Do you really think that I could have a child with someone like you?

Oh, and that gives you the right to kill it and then hide it from me?

Did you just stop for one second and think that maybe if you would have told me,

maybe I could have changed, huh? No.

You didn't think that, right? No.

I had to find out from this fucking piece of paper.

Oh, what do we got here, huh?

[Mildred] Becky, this isn't Westside story, give me the knife.

Becky, give me the knife.

Do it, stab me!

Becky!

[music]

Get out.

- You want me to out? - Get out!

Alright.

Don't come back here again.

You better take care of her, 'cause you're all she's got.

Oh yeah, keep walking, cabron!

You don't know what that means, cabron? Pendejo.

You can look them up on a women's dictionary.

Norma, if you're gonna start some shit, go take a walk.

Mellie, what the fuck is going on in there?

Just go take a walk.

I'm here too, ok?

You'd be in deep shit if I wasn't here. So you remember that.

If it wasn't for who?

Look, I got news for you, momma.

I can take care of myself, alright?

This is none of your business.

- You mean that? - Just go take a fucking walk.

[car engine]

[door shuts]

That was some heavy shit, you pulled.

I'm sorry.

Sorry that you made me late?

It's cool, you can say it.

I forgive you.

- You know, these last few weeks... - Yeah?

All I could do was compare me to you.

I've never hated anyone so much in my entire life.

Who? Him or me?

I should go.

No, wait.

Yeah.

Take a good look.

I'm sorry.

Hector! Go home.

[music]

Come on, Norma. Pick up.

Come on, I said take a walk, not disappear on me.

You know what your problem is? You're too sensitive, that's your problem.

Just call me, please.

[music]

Please just call me, tell me that you're ok.

Alright. I just wanna know that, ok? I wanna know that you're ok.

Bye.

[music]

[Latin uptempo music]

You can hold him if you want.

Come on, don't be shy.

His name wouldn't be Hector, you know, like junior?

[Norma laughs]

No, we named him Alex.

[Hector] We?

Mellie...

Yeah?

I know that nothing I would say would ever change

anything but, you know, I'm just.

No. But here he is.

Your son.

And that's what makes it tough, you now.

How you been doing, good?

We're a good mother.

You know, I'd like to come by and check on my boy, you know.

Our boy.

Every now and then, you know, if it's alright.

I don't see the harm.

You mean that? Do you?

Like I said, he is your son.

It's good.

Little guy.

Oye nene!

Yo te estoy esperando for like about over an hour,

you told me to meet you on the north side of the park.

Como una pendeja te estoy esperando alla.

Come on.

I'm wondering, what the hell am I doing meeting you in a park.

¿Para eso yo te dejo solo?

¿Para tú estar mangoneando con las mujeres por ahí, en el parque?

Vente.

[kid laughs]

You better feed me, you better feed me good because I'm hungry right now.
