1
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:54,200
[barking]

2
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:11,190
[Jacqueline]
On the island of Puerto Rico,

3
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:13,190
there are dozens
of poor little villages

4
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:15,230
drowsing in the tropic sun.

5
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:20,140
None is poorer or smaller or
drowsier than Esperanza.

6
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,060
Esperanza can't afford
a mayor.

7
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:25,190
But Father Dominic makes

8
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:28,170
whatever official
pronouncements are required,

9
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:32,120
which are always
quickly endorsed by the town council

10
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,010
who are also known
as Los Filosofos.

11
00:01:36,010 --> 00:01:37,180
Or the 3 wise men.

12
00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:40,160
Or the do-nothing club.

13
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:43,140
Nothing ever happens here

14
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:47,210
except for an occasional
baptism, funeral or wedding.

15
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:50,160
Tomorrow,
after 7 years as a widower,

16
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Luis Armijo is marrying
Manuela Garcia.

17
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,170
Everyone in Esperanza
is excited.

18
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:01,160
And no one more
than Luis' son, Tonio.

19
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Left out of all
the grown-up talk,

20
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,100
he decided to pick
a bouquet of wild flowers for Manuela.

21
00:02:08,230 --> 00:02:10,220
And that's when it happened.

22
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:50,030
[exclaiming]

23
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:52,100
Hi. You kind of surprised me.

24
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,020
You playing hide-and-go-seek?

25
00:02:57,110 --> 00:03:00,040
Oh, you've been picking
wild flowers.

26
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,150
Oh, they're beautiful.

27
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:05,020
For me? Oh, thanks.

28
00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:08,010
Tonio.

29
00:03:08,010 --> 00:03:10,080
Please, say it again.

30
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,130
Say what?

31
00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:12,130
My name.

32
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Tonio?

33
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,150
Well, listen,
I--I guess you saw that...

34
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:21,040
What I mean is...

35
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,010
I knew someday
you'd come out of the sky.

36
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:25,150
You did?

37
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:27,230
Papa said that
when you went away up to heaven,

38
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:29,200
you couldn't ever
come back to me.

39
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,150
But I knew you would, Mama.

40
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:32,230
Mama?

41
00:03:32,230 --> 00:03:35,170
I've got to tell Papa
and Manuela and everybody.

42
00:03:35,170 --> 00:03:37,210
Wait, Tonio!

43
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:39,210
Tonio,
I'm not your mother.

44
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:41,200
I--I didn't come
from heaven.

45
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:43,080
T-Tonio?

46
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,060
Hey, Tonio,
let's play.

47
00:03:58,060 --> 00:03:59,190
I can't play,
my mother's back.

48
00:03:59,190 --> 00:04:03,030
Your mother's back?
She came down from heaven.

49
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:05,070
What did the boy say?

50
00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:07,100
That his mother
just came down from heaven.

51
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:12,160
Well, she picked
a nice day for it.

52
00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:19,170
Papa! Papa!
She jumped out of the sky.

53
00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:22,050
I was on the hill
when I saw her coming out of a cloud

54
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:23,130
just the way
I knew she would--

55
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:24,220
whoa, Tonio.

56
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:26,070
Who?
Who came out of the clouds?

57
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:27,200
Mama.

58
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,210
Well, Manuela has been here
with me all day.

59
00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:32,230
She couldn't have been
up in the clouds. No, not Manuela.

60
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:34,070
My real mother.

61
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:35,200
Your mother?

62
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,110
My mother's
come back, Manuela, and she's beautiful.

63
00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:40,080
Just like you said, Papa.

64
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,040
What are you saying, Tonio?
You should not be making up stories like this.

65
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,070
It isn't a story,
Papa, I saw her.

66
00:04:45,070 --> 00:04:47,090
We talked.
She spoke my name.

67
00:04:49,060 --> 00:04:51,030
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.

68
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:53,010
Oh, be gentle,
Luis.

69
00:04:53,010 --> 00:04:55,090
It isn't easy for Tonio,
the wedding and all--

70
00:04:55,090 --> 00:04:57,000
she looks just like this.

71
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,210
She's wearing the same kind
of clothes and everything.

72
00:04:59,210 --> 00:05:03,060
Tonio,
it isn't possible.

73
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:06,210
Maybe you stared
into the sun until you thought you saw her.

74
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:09,070
She's there.
Come see for yourself.

75
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:11,060
Son, today we don't
have time to go around

76
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:12,220
looking for people
who aren't there.

77
00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:14,200
Please, Papa.

78
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Luis, in an hour
we have to see Father Dominic

79
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,010
to sign the wedding papers.

80
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:21,080
If we leave now,
we can go with Tonio.

81
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,170
But why should
we be looking--

82
00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:23,210
Luis.

83
00:05:25,150 --> 00:05:26,220
All right, all right.

84
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:28,160
Hurry, Papa, hurry.

85
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:42,100
[exclaiming]

86
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,190
Oh, good morning,
Father Dominic.

87
00:05:44,190 --> 00:05:46,040
Sister Bertrille.

88
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:52,080
Sister.

89
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,120
I guess you're surprised
to see me, huh?

90
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,170
Sister,

91
00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:58,150
nothing you could do
would surprise me.

92
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:02,060
But please, this is a very
peaceful little town.

93
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:05,000
[stuttering]
You're not staying here, are you?

94
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,150
Oh, no. The reverend mother
just gave me permission to come over and apologize

95
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:11,180
for that little mix-up
in San Juan last month, when you were there.

96
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:14,210
Well, I really didn't
want to go to San Juan.

97
00:06:14,210 --> 00:06:18,230
But my niece, she asked me
to baptize her first child.

98
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:21,010
What could I do?

99
00:06:21,010 --> 00:06:25,190
But she did not warn me
that you were going to be the godmother.

100
00:06:25,190 --> 00:06:28,050
I know I shouldn't
have taken the baby on the motorcycle

101
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:30,130
but I thought you were going
to baptize the wrong baby.

102
00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:34,010
Motorcycle. Motorcycle.
I could have understood that.

103
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:35,090
But when you...

104
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:37,060
[birds chirping]

105
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:40,000
When you flew up
to the--the roof of the cathedral...

106
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,150
Well, I explained that.

107
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:43,070
Yes, sister, so you did.

108
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:47,030
But I'm not a young man.

109
00:06:47,030 --> 00:06:49,120
I've led a sheltered life

110
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,120
and I...
Well, that's all right.

111
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Everything is done now,
and everybody's happy.

112
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,160
My--my great-nephew
has been baptized.

113
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,040
My niece and her husband
have reconciled.

114
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,040
And you're here
for a very short visit, huh?

115
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,090
Oh, yes. You see,
you ran off in such a hurry that you forgot your pipe.

116
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,230
Oh.

117
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:13,230
Thank you, sister.
Thank you.

118
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:16,000
Thank you.
This--this is my favorite one.

119
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,120
And it was
very thoughtful of you to take such a long trip

120
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,020
and bring it to me again.

121
00:07:22,030 --> 00:07:23,120
Of course, you...

122
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:27,140
[exclaiming]

123
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:29,080
Maybe somebody saw you?

124
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,140
Oh, no.

125
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:32,120
Just this little boy
on the hill

126
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,200
but he made it
part of some game he was playing.

127
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:42,210
But I don't understand,
Papa.

128
00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:46,120
She was right there.

129
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,060
Tonio,
there was no one here.

130
00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:50,100
There was, Papa.

131
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,110
She came right down
out of the sky.

132
00:07:52,110 --> 00:07:53,160
And then we talked.

133
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,050
I gave her flowers.

134
00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:57,040
Maybe you were dreaming.

135
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,110
I've dreamed
about Mama many times, but this was different.

136
00:08:00,110 --> 00:08:03,040
I was awake
and she was here.

137
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,010
Tonio, I'm not going to--

138
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:06,130
Luis, un momentito.

139
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:10,170
Listen, Querido.

140
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:14,110
Maybe you feel because
I'm coming to stay with you,

141
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:17,150
take care of you

142
00:08:17,150 --> 00:08:20,050
that--that I'm trying
to take your mother's place.

143
00:08:20,050 --> 00:08:22,010
That isn't so.

144
00:08:22,010 --> 00:08:25,070
I'm hoping that you can love
both of us.

145
00:08:25,070 --> 00:08:28,060
I like you, Manuela.
Very much.

146
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:30,070
But don't you see?
Now that my mother's back,

147
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:31,230
she will look after
Papa and me.

148
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:34,000
And you won't
have to take care of us.

149
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,220
Enough of this
foolishness now. But, Papa--

150
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:38,000
you go home. I don't want
to hear any more of that.

151
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,190
Mama has come back
and I'll show you.

152
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:41,210
I'll find her,
then you'll see.

153
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:44,060
It will be fine, Manuela.

154
00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:47,030
He loves you.

155
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:48,110
Of course he does.

156
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,210
It will be fine.

157
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:57,180
Hey, Tonio, catch.

158
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:00,070
I can't play, Pablo.
I've got to find my mother.

159
00:09:00,070 --> 00:09:01,180
You don't have a mother.

160
00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:03,160
Yes, I do.
She came down out of the sky.

161
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Out of the sky?
This morning.

162
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,150
You're a liar.
I am not.

163
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:10,030
Out of the sky. Huh.
You hear?

164
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:12,130
His mother flies out
of the sky like a bird.

165
00:09:12,130 --> 00:09:14,030
His mother's a bird.

166
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:15,090
[cawing]

167
00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:17,030
Don't you say that
about my mother.

168
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:19,080
[Pablo]
Your mother's a bird! Your mother's a bird!

169
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,090
[Tonio]
Shut up about my mother!

170
00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:23,000
My mother's no bird.

171
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,080
Hey, you guys! Hey!

172
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,110
Cut it out!

173
00:09:28,050 --> 00:09:29,140
[Pablo]
Your mother's a bird.

174
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:30,160
She's no bird.

175
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:34,200
You should be ashamed
of yourself, fighting.

176
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,230
I'm sorry, but he said
a bad thing about you.

177
00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:39,050
About me?

178
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:40,130
[Tonio]
And he called me a liar.

179
00:09:40,130 --> 00:09:41,230
[Pablo]
You are a liar.

180
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:44,000
You did come out of the sky,
didn't you?

181
00:09:44,170 --> 00:09:45,200
Well, I...

182
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,060
Tell him. Please?

183
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:55,030
Well, actually, fellas,
he is telling the truth.

184
00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:57,050
She thinks she's a bird,
too.

185
00:09:57,050 --> 00:09:59,040
Don't say that.

186
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,200
[Bertrille]
Hey, hey, now, Tonio. Hey!

187
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Tonio,
it looks like I'm gonna have to take you home.

188
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,030
Yes, then Papa
and Manuela will believe me.

189
00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:11,150
Tonio Armijo
thinks that the nun flew down from the sky.

190
00:10:11,150 --> 00:10:12,210
That is strange.

191
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:15,180
Even more strange,
the nun thinks so, too.

192
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,200
Papa. Manuela.

193
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,020
They will be here soon.

194
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:25,010
Why don't you sit down
and rest, Mama?

195
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,210
Thank you, Tonio.

196
00:10:30,170 --> 00:10:32,050
Before they do come back

197
00:10:32,050 --> 00:10:34,140
there's something you and I
have to straighten out first.

198
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:36,040
Si, Mama?

199
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,010
Now, it's true,
you did see me come of the sky.

200
00:10:38,010 --> 00:10:39,140
Just the way
I knew you would.

201
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:41,080
But because you wanted
to believe that--

202
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,180
sometimes when I looked up,
I thought I saw you.

203
00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:46,030
But always before,
it was just a cloud.

204
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,120
Tonio,
do you know what a nun is?

205
00:10:53,170 --> 00:10:55,040
You've never seen a nun?

206
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,100
Well,
this is a nun's habit.

207
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,050
I knew you'd be dressed
all in white,

208
00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:01,110
like in the picture.

209
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,050
This is your mother?

210
00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:05,160
Si. It is you.

211
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:14,150
Tonio,

212
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:16,130
now you've got to listen
to me.

213
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:17,190
Yes, Mama.

214
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:22,130
I know how much
you must have missed your mother

215
00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:26,000
and honestly, I wouldn't do
anything to hurt you.

216
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,210
Go on, Mama,
I don't mind.

217
00:11:27,210 --> 00:11:29,210
I've heard Pablo's Mama
say that to him

218
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:32,110
and then after,
she hugs him and kisses him.

219
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:35,140
Tonio.

220
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:41,070
Please don't cry.

221
00:11:42,130 --> 00:11:43,220
We should be happy.

222
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:45,180
I've never been so happy.

223
00:11:47,180 --> 00:11:49,090
[exclaiming]

224
00:11:49,090 --> 00:11:50,200
Look at your hands.

225
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,100
Why, they're a disgrace.

226
00:11:54,050 --> 00:11:56,050
And your face
is all smudged.

227
00:11:56,050 --> 00:11:58,040
I will wash them,
Mama,

228
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,080
and then you can
scrub behind my ears.

229
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,190
You know, sometimes
children who have lost their mothers,

230
00:12:10,190 --> 00:12:12,030
they have such ideas.

231
00:12:12,030 --> 00:12:14,190
But I will
say a word to Tonio.

Who are you?

244
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:03,040
I'm Sister Bertrille.

245
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,150
You look like...
I know.

246
00:13:05,150 --> 00:13:07,080
Tonio thinks I'm his mother.

247
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,010
You haven't told him
who you really are?

248
00:13:10,010 --> 00:13:11,010
Shh.

249
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:20,040
Why haven't you told him?

250
00:13:20,170 --> 00:13:22,010
I wanted to.

251
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:24,020
I--I should have.
I just couldn't.

252
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:25,200
Well, why not?

253
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,070
Well, it seems
to mean so much to him to know his mother loves him

254
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:30,100
the same way
he's loved her all these years.

255
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,070
I couldn't find
the right way to take away

256
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:34,080
something so precious
to him.

257
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,180
Yes,
but his mother is dead.

258
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:38,000
After tomorrow,
Manuela will be his mother.

259
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:40,070
I didn't realize.

260
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:42,000
Oh, this has gone too far.

261
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,050
I'm gonna set
Tonio straight. Luis, no.

262
00:13:44,050 --> 00:13:46,170
Well, what do you mean, no?
Tonio can't go on thinking

263
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:48,020
she's his mother.
She's a nun.

264
00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:49,120
But she's right.

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,100
What Tonio feels
about his mother is very precious to him.

266
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:55,030
You must take the time,
Luis,

267
00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:56,210
to find the right way
to tell him

268
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:59,160
or this can be a hurt
that he will carry all his life.

269
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Don't you think so,
father?

270
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,030
We must slowly try to do
what is best for the boy.

271
00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:07,130
Yeah,
but what about the wedding?

272
00:14:07,130 --> 00:14:08,180
What about us?

273
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:11,050
What's best for Tonio
is best for us.

274
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:12,160
Manuela, wait.

275
00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:19,050
Sister, why didn't you
mail me my pipe?

276
00:14:27,010 --> 00:14:28,180
Would you like
some more tea, father?

277
00:14:28,180 --> 00:14:30,170
Mmm-mmm. No, no,
thank you.

278
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:33,120
I've just got to find a way
to tell Tonio the truth.

279
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,160
The truth?

280
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,170
You're going to tell him
that you're a nun

281
00:14:38,170 --> 00:14:40,160
from convent San Tanco?

282
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,080
That you fly
like an airplane?

283
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,060
Well, then,
Tonio will tell this to the people of Esperanza.

284
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:48,150
All of them?

285
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:51,010
Yes, sister.
The whole town will know.

286
00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:53,050
And then the news will travel
to the next town,

287
00:14:53,050 --> 00:14:55,110
and the next.

288
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:58,100
No, sister.
I'm afraid you have to...

289
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:02,030
You have to find
some other way to help Tonio.

290
00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:04,190
Father, will you please
talk to Manuela?

291
00:15:04,190 --> 00:15:07,110
All of a sudden,
she decided we should not get married tomorrow

292
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:09,060
because of this idea
that Tonio has.

293
00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:11,010
She won't even listen
to me anymore.

294
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:13,100
All right, I will try
to reason with her.

295
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:15,190
But why something like this
should happen now?

296
00:15:15,190 --> 00:15:18,120
We'll work it out.
Thank you very much, sister.

297
00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:24,090
I thought that nuns
went around helping people.

298
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:25,170
I'm sorry.

299
00:15:25,170 --> 00:15:27,140
Why are women
so complicated?

300
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:32,020
Look, I love Manuela,
and Manuela loves me.

301
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:34,040
Tonio needs a mother
and I need a wife.

302
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,170
Manuela wants a husband,
so...

303
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:38,040
So we're not
getting married.

304
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,150
I don't understand it.

305
00:15:39,150 --> 00:15:41,230
Papa. Papa, Mama.

306
00:15:41,230 --> 00:15:43,100
Tonio.

307
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,050
See, Papa, I told you
Mama had come back,

308
00:15:45,050 --> 00:15:47,000
and she's just like
you said.

309
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,060
Tonio, if you--
you haven't had your lunch, have you, Señor Armijo?

310
00:15:49,060 --> 00:15:51,010
I don't want any lunch--
I can fix you some.

311
00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:52,120
I can fix my own lunch.

312
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,080
No, Papa.
That's Mama's job, and I will help her.

313
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,110
Come on, Mama.

314
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,190
Would you like anything else,
Señor Armijo?

315
00:16:13,190 --> 00:16:14,230
No, thank you.

316
00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:16,090
[doorbell ringing]
I'll get it.

317
00:16:16,090 --> 00:16:17,110
No, I'll get it.

318
00:16:20,070 --> 00:16:23,110
Mama, why do you call Papa
"Señor Armijo"?

319
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:25,190
Shouldn't you call him
by his first name?

320
00:16:25,190 --> 00:16:28,030
Well, it's just that, uh,

321
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:31,030
I want to show
how much respect I have for him.

322
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,080
Yeah.

323
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:41,150
So, our wedding gift
isn't good enough for the great Luis Armijo.

324
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:43,160
Wedding gift?
What wedding gift?

325
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,070
In better times,
men would have fought duels for less.

326
00:16:46,070 --> 00:16:48,070
Julio,
what are you talking about? This.

327
00:16:48,070 --> 00:16:50,170
And you weren't man enough
to insult us in person.

328
00:16:50,170 --> 00:16:52,230
You sent your boy
to fling our gifts in our faces.

329
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:54,010
My boy?

330
00:16:54,010 --> 00:16:55,170
Your boy.

331
00:16:55,170 --> 00:16:57,230
Julio, wait a minute.
Tonio!

332
00:16:58,230 --> 00:17:00,140
Si, Papa.

333
00:17:00,140 --> 00:17:03,010
Tonio, did you take back
this wedding gift to Señor Reyes?

334
00:17:03,010 --> 00:17:05,160
Si, Papa.
I took all the presents back.

335
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,220
All of them?

336
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:11,010
I thought
you might want me to,

337
00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:13,030
since there isn't going
to be a wedding.

338
00:17:13,030 --> 00:17:15,220
Luis, you're not going
to marry Manuela?

339
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:17,040
Of course I...
What are you--

340
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,030
Mama's back. Mama.

341
00:17:19,030 --> 00:17:20,130
Tonio, no.

342
00:17:20,130 --> 00:17:21,130
See?

343
00:17:23,070 --> 00:17:24,200
[speaking Spanish]

344
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,140
Tonio, what are you...

345
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,200
Julio, wait.

346
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Tonio says it's his mother.
You ready for that?

347
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,200
Returned our wedding gifts
when there's no wedding.

348
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000
[speaking Spanish]

349
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,120
Will you go please
go somewhere?

350
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,120
Do something.

351
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,110
I'm gonna try to explain
to my friends,

352
00:17:40,110 --> 00:17:41,230
then I'm going
to go to my shop.

353
00:17:41,230 --> 00:17:43,140
I'm going to hammer
and saw and glue

354
00:17:43,140 --> 00:17:45,190
and try to understand
what's happening to me.

355
00:17:49,180 --> 00:17:51,020
[mumbling]

356
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:56,020
Thank you, Mama.

357
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:02,080
Now I want to buy you
something.

358
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,220
Oh, no, Tonio,

359
00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:05,200
I don't want you
to waste your money on anything for me.

360
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,060
But Pablo
and the other boys

361
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:08,140
buy presents
for their mothers.

362
00:18:08,140 --> 00:18:11,010
Perhaps--
please, Mama.

363
00:18:11,010 --> 00:18:13,180
Ok.
You wait here so it'll be a surprise.

364
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:18,080
Good afternoon,
sister.

365
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,110
Good afternoon.

366
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:22,120
You are a nun?

367
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:25,020
Yes, I'm a novice
at the convent San Tanco.

368
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,150
Here, Mama.

369
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:30,180
I did not let
senora chapa wrap them,

370
00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:32,160
because I want you
to wear them.

371
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,200
Earrings.

372
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,140
Don't you like them,
Mama?

373
00:18:36,140 --> 00:18:39,080
Oh, they're...
I've never had a nicer present.

374
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,050
Aren't you going
to put them on?

375
00:18:46,190 --> 00:18:48,010
Please, Mama?

376
00:19:05,220 --> 00:19:07,090
You look beautiful.

377
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,160
Let's go show Papa.

378
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,120
Oh,
if that little novice

379
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,210
is ever going
to become a nun,

380
00:19:17,210 --> 00:19:21,130
she will have to try
very, very much harder.

381
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,230
Oh, hello, father.
Where's Papa?

382
00:19:29,230 --> 00:19:31,220
Your father's at the shop.

383
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,150
[stuttering]
Sister, what...

384
00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:37,070
Oh.

385
00:19:37,070 --> 00:19:40,020
Earrings.
Tonio gave them to me.

386
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:41,130
Aren't they pretty,
father?

387
00:19:41,130 --> 00:19:43,160
Ah, yes.
Very interesting.

388
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Now, Tonio,
I would like a word with the lady, alone, eh?

389
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,080
Si, father.

390
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,230
Sister, the...

391
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:52,150
Oh, yeah.

392
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:53,210
Manuela is leaving.

393
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:55,060
Leaving Esperanza?

394
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:59,020
Yes. She's packing to catch
the 3:30 bus to San Juan.

395
00:19:59,020 --> 00:20:01,070
But that's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous.

396
00:20:01,070 --> 00:20:03,130
And it's all my fault.
Father, we can't let her go.

397
00:20:03,130 --> 00:20:06,040
I couldn't stop her.
But I will.

398
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,090
I'm afraid
you won't change her mind, sister.

399
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,220
It's for the best,
sister.

400
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:24,100
But how could anything
that separates 3 people

401
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:26,210
that love each other
be for the best?

402
00:20:26,210 --> 00:20:29,050
Oh, I should have never
come to Esperanza.

403
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:30,220
No, you mustn't
blame yourself.

404
00:20:30,220 --> 00:20:33,060
It isn't anything you've done
that makes me know

405
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:34,210
I--I cannot stay.

406
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:37,200
It's Tonio's feeling
for his mother.

407
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,080
But you must have
always known how he felt.

408
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,220
Well, I've known.

409
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:46,030
But, sister, aren't we all
a little bit like Tonio?

410
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:48,130
When we want something
so very much,

411
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,080
we make it happen.

412
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,120
He brought his mother
back in you.

413
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,080
I thought he was ready
to accept me.

414
00:20:58,050 --> 00:20:59,190
Once or twice,

415
00:21:00,230 --> 00:21:02,170
he seemed
to reach out to me.

416
00:21:02,170 --> 00:21:04,060
And he will again.

417
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:07,140
Oh, Manuela,
he knows you love him.

418
00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:09,070
I do love him

419
00:21:09,070 --> 00:21:12,060
and I never wanted
to take his mother's place.

420
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:14,190
All I ever asked

421
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:17,110
was to be a mother to him,
in my own way.

422
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:19,150
And you can be.

423
00:21:19,150 --> 00:21:21,160
No, I don't believe that,
sister.

424
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,200
Not now.

425
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Today, I saw the truth.

426
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,010
There will never be room
for me in Tonio's heart.

427
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:30,180
But you're wrong.

428
00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:32,160
There's all the room
in the world.

429
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Why, he reached out
to you before, and he will again.

430
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,060
Only you won't be here.
You'll be in San Juan.

431
00:21:38,060 --> 00:21:39,230
[bus engine starting]

432
00:21:39,230 --> 00:21:43,000
Oh, Manuela, I think
I can prove you're wrong. Will you let me try?

433
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,150
[bus horn honking]

434
00:21:44,150 --> 00:21:46,000
The bus is leaving.

435
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,130
Manuela,

436
00:21:47,130 --> 00:21:49,150
don't you want
to know the truth?

437
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:06,210
[birds chirping]

438
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,030
Why did you
bring me here, Mama?

439
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:32,080
Well, Tonio,
I'll tell you.

440
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,040
I wanted to be alone
with you.

441
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:35,190
You see,

442
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:40,190
Tonio, the time has
come to say goodbye.

443
00:22:41,090 --> 00:22:42,210
Goodbye?

444
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:44,180
Yes.

445
00:22:44,180 --> 00:22:46,150
I-I'm sorry.
I have to go.

446
00:22:46,150 --> 00:22:48,230
I've already stayed longer
than I was supposed to.

447
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:51,010
When will you be back?

448
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:54,050
I can never come back.

449
00:22:54,050 --> 00:22:56,020
You don't want
to be my Mama anymore?

450
00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:58,130
It's not that.

451
00:22:58,130 --> 00:23:00,230
It's just-- it's just
that I don't belong here.

452
00:23:00,230 --> 00:23:03,200
What do you mean, Mama?

453
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,080
You have your Papa
and Manuela.

454
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,000
Manuela is nice,

455
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,110
very nice,
but she's not my mother.

456
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:13,050
But, Tonio,

457
00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:15,220
in her own way,
she loves you as much as any mother could.

458
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:19,050
No, Mama, please.
Don't leave me.

459
00:23:19,050 --> 00:23:20,100
I have to.

460
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:24,130
Why did you
come back at all?

461
00:23:24,130 --> 00:23:26,140
Well,
it was meant to be.

462
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:28,030
You see, Tonio,

463
00:23:28,030 --> 00:23:30,050
when a mother can't take care
of her little boy anymore,

464
00:23:30,050 --> 00:23:32,060
she needs to know
he has someone else

465
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:35,010
who loves him
and looks after him.

466
00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:39,000
And you do, Tonio.

467
00:23:40,150 --> 00:23:43,040
I won't be able
to keep these earrings.

468
00:23:45,170 --> 00:23:47,150
Thank you
for giving them to me.

469
00:23:50,060 --> 00:23:51,120
Goodbye.

470
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,060
I leave you
with my love.

471
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Tonio.

472
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,200
Tonio.

473
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:49,120
Mama.

474
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:51,100
Oh, Tonio.

475
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:54,160
