What the fuck are you doing?

You got to finish.

You're gonna break my back, Lisette. What are you doing?

Come!

You always got to ruin it, right?

It's not me!

It's Mrs. Gonzales and her fucking broom!

-MINNIE: Come on! -And them!

-Come on! -Hey, don't make me come out there!

Oh, that's it!

Get off of me!

Oh, look what you did!

Get off of me!

Chino!

Look, I'm not playing with you! Stop!

Hey!

Dad, she started it.

What'd I tell you about hitting her?

If I hit somebody smaller than me, I'm a punk.

-CHINO: That's right! -(DOORBELL RINGS)

-Li'l C's gonna get beaten! -Shut up!

Move, move. Look what you did!

(KIDS ARGUING)

I'm not moving anymore!

-Yes, you are! -No, I'm not!

Mom!

Surprise.

-Hi. -Hi, Maggie.

You need something?

Uh, actually, I just came up to show you the paper.

Look, Chino's number almost hit.

It did?

Cover yourself.

I'm sorry.

Was I interrupting something?

I just wanted to show Chino

how close he came to being a winner.

Bye.

Bye.

I can't have nothing in this house!

They break everything!

-I'll buy you a new one. -Oh, yeah, right.

When you're still paying for that stupid bike.

I'm a bike messenger. Where are you going?

Chino, I just... I'm gonna go off.

I should get out of here.

-What about dinner? -Chino, I just want to go down

to Alexis' to hear my tape.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Baby.

Here, look...

Find yourself a stereo, okay?

I'll buy you whatever you want.

Promise.

-Ow, my breast. -Oh, you found one?

I'm sorry I don't have big tetas like Magdalena, all right?

Magdalena...

Do you know what you got that she don't?

Huh?

My heart.

It doesn't beat for Magdalena.

It doesn't beat for anybody else...

Except you.

Do you know what I want?

No?

Do you know what I really, really, really want?

What?

I want you to cook.

Oh!

I hate my life.

I hate it.

Hey...

I'm your life.

You hate me?

No.

(KIDS SHOUTING)

Minnie!

That's it.

Lisette... Come on, Lisette.

-Lisette... -Mommy!

-Where... Where're you going? -Alexis'!

Don't hang out there all night!

LISETTE: Ooh, Alexis, look. This is the one.

It has a CD and a cassette recorder.

Why are you even bothering, Nana?

He's gonna have that stereo on layaway for the next three years,

just like the VCR and the furniture that he promised.

Uh, look, Alexis, not for nothing,

but at least he supports his family.

That's true.

And he's good-looking. You got that.

All I'm saying, Nana,

is that, if you want a stereo, you're gonna have to look into getting it yourself.

Oh, you gonna lend me the money?

Lisette, why don't you get back into modeling?

Alexis, when was I into modeling?

Don't you remember? They gave you $10 to put your picture

in the beauty parlor window?

Remember?

It was at Novia's place.

-Oh, that's right. -Oh, you're paid.

My wife wants to be a model.

What?

-GUY: Yeah, right. -Yo, yo, yo, yo, with them tetas?

Look, it ain't like you got to have the perfect body to be a model, okay?

You just got to have the heart.

That's right and she's got corazon.

Hey, hey, hey.

My baby has the heart, okay?

There's only one thing that you don't have, and that's tetas.

(ALL LAUGHING)

-True, true, true. -Hey, yo, Jack!

Papi, let's go play the numbers.

-What's up, my man? -You know what numbers I want to play, right?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

You got money to play the numbers,

but you don't got money to buy me a stereo?

Look, this money's gonna go to our future, okay?

-Go win the numbers. -Okay, man.

Not gonna go into this garbage

that you want to go to modeling and school.

I don't even want to be a model, okay?

I was just trying to do you a favor and get my own stereo,

because I know you ain't even gonna get me one.

-Yes, he will. -That's right, I will.

I'll go down to Byron's right now,

and put $5 on any stereo you want.

Yeah, right. That's you all over.

The Layaway King. Give me my paper.

(ALL CLAMORING)

What happened?

(GLASS SHATTERING)

MAN: Blackout! Blackout!

(ALARMS BLARING)

Minnie, stop crying. It's all right.

-MINNIE: (CRYING) I'm scared. -Here, C, take the baby with you.

Are you saying I can't get you a stereo?

Oh, now you're gonna start stealing, Chino?

You go out there, I bet you get busted.

Chino don't get

busted.

(SPANISH BALLAD PLAYING)

Just relax, okay? I'll get you out of here.

Just relax, okay?

Why is he crying? Is he sick or something?

No, he's not crying, all right?

-Oh, fucking... -He looks pretty hysterical to me.

Well, he's not, all right? He's not crying.

He's laughing, all right? We laugh like that, okay? Right, Chino?

Oh, that's so funny! Right, Chino?

Funny!

Hey, mama.

Yo, no disrespect, but that ass is slamming!

Oh, you looking good! That's my wife. I'm gonna marry her.

You're a sexist pig.

Get those fake nails out of my face, Alexis.

Ooh, no disrespect, but that ass is slamming.

-You nasty. -Ooh, that's my husband.

-You better stop, stop, you embarrassing me. -That's the father of my baby.

You fucking nasty. Stop! Oh, you're embarrassing me.

(BOTH TALKING)

Wait. He wants me to play his number.

All you've got is $5, and he wants you to spend it on the numbers?

-That's right. -He's hopeless.

Been playing the number since Minnie was two.

-So what? -It's got to come out.

That shit of his is gonna hit big, man.

Good thing you're good-looking, because that's all you got.

So what's his bail?

-$1,500. -What?

-For a fucking stereo? That's bullshit. -$1,500...

-Angel. -Angelito...

No, no, Lisette.

I got to get my car out of the shop. No. No.

Fuck him. Did I tell him to break into Byron's? No. Thank you.

-Stupid. -What?

-What are you looking at? -Come on, Alexis.

-I don't have that kind of money. -Yeah, Alexis.

What about the money you're saving to cut your dick off?

Yeah. Lisette, that is so foul. Oh, shit, man!

-Oh, shut up. -You're nasty. I'm outta here.

-Go. -No! No, no, no.

I don't use my operation money for nobody, okay?

You're nasty. You're nasty.

Look, look, Alexis, you give me $5, I'll chop your shit off for you.

-This shit is nasty, stop it! -Lisette! You could do the modeling!

-Like, be serious. -Again with the modeling, Alexis?

Shut up. Come on. You could make his bail.

Go down to the modeling school.

Lisette... Shut up, this isn't funny.

Look, I don't even got train fare.

You got the $5.

That's not enough to go down there and play his number.

-Fuck his number. -(GROANS)

Lisette!

Lisette, you better play his number, man. That's Chino!

Mami's so beautiful.

Come down.

-He'll see you. -Papi's not there. Let's go.

Go, go, go, go, go, go...

Alexis, you're such a coward!

You told me you were going to go with me. Let's go.

I don't want to go. You go and ask her yourself.

-Go. Go on. -Alexis, let's go!

Look, I don't want her to see me all tacky like this, okay?

Look, I rushed out of the house without doing my makeup,

and, like, this blouse doesn't fit me right.

Lisette, I don't want... Ooh, ooh, ooh...

Let me see if I have a picture.

Oh, which one do you think I should give her?

Whichever one you don't care about getting ripped up.

MAMI: This is not my son.

You tell him that if he keeps on calling the house,

your father's gonna go over there and he's gonna kick his ass.

He just wanted you to see what he looked like.

All you people think is about what you want.

Well, I'm sorry. I don't got what you want.

-$1,500! -Okay, Mami.

What am I, a fucking bank?

No, all right, then, just lend me $2.50 so I can take the train...

-I don't have any money! -...get this job. $2.50, Mami, that's it.

Give it to me, quick. Here comes Papi.

PAPI: What does she want?

Ma, please, all right?

Chino got busted.

Mami, he did not get busted, all right?

What'd that crazy Puerto Rican do? Killed somebody?

No, he didn't kill somebody.

It's a mistaken identity, all right?

So, what's she gonna do now? Go on welfare?

I'm gonna get a job, all right?

She wants train fare.

Why you got to tell him everything, Mami?

What do you mean, why's she got to tell me everything?

Because I care about her and she cares about me.

You don't want to work.

Fine, okay, forget it. Forget I even asked you.

That's just another excuse for her to get money out of you.

PAWNBROKER: I can't take this. It's dipped.

He gave you something dipped? That's too shady.

Give you $35 for your wedding ring, $40, if it's not engraved.

-There you go. -Alexis.

Why?

Forget it.

That way, you could have train fare,

you could play Chino's number,

and you can have $30 left over.

My wedding ring stays on my finger, all right?

No. Lisette!

Yeah, so why don't you sell your botanica to get your operation?

Aye, don't compare my botanica to your marriage, okay?

Well, don't compare my marriage to your botanica.

Look, if somebody steals from my store, I got insurance.

Somebody steals your man, you got played.

That's a big difference, mama.

Yeah, well, unlike you, Alex, all right,

I was born with all the insurance I need.

Oh, hey, don't even be perpetrating

like you got a body, Miss Thing, because, not even, okay?

You know something, you are so superficial, right?

'Cause it's not just a physical thing, all right?

What Chino and I got is, like, spiritual and shit.

But, you see, you're on the materialistic level.

You wouldn't even understand that.

Mira, Oprah, I do for myself.

I don't need nothing from nobody.

(CURSING IN SPANISH)

BOY: Yeah!

Yo, C, where you at, C?

C, you in here?

Come on.

You stealing from Mr. Soto?

Get the fuck out of there.

Don't tell my father.

-Your pop's in jail! -No! Not true! He's working!

Guess what I heard? That your father was in jail sucking my father's dick.

Shut up!

Yo, when you stop stealing toys

and you're ready to make some money... Come talk to me.

All right?

Jack!

Oh, here you go, wasting money on the numbers, and I'm ignorant?

I need to play Chino's number.

Hey, Lisette! You owe me $3.50.

-What? -Li'l Chino stole another car from the store.

-Alexis, lend me $3.50. -I don't know why you keep thinking my last name

is "Lend-me." "Alexis, lend me."

I don't got no money.

You ain't got no money and you're playing the numbers?

I ain't playing, all right? I'm just talking.

Mm-hmm.

Look, either you give me the money

or he brings the car back, okay?

Where's my father?

You stole another car from Mr. Soto, right?

Get away from me. I don't even want to see you.

Where's my father?

You tell him he's at work.

Your abuela says he's working.

Where is my father?

-Where is he? -MINNIE: Where's my father?

Where's my father?

(PRAYING IN SPANISH)

Where is my father?

Where is my father!

You want to know where your father is?

He's in jail, all right? You're father's in jail!

(YELLING)

ROSARIA: Hey, don't you close the door on me!

-Where's my papi? -You're trying to make my son look bad in front of the kids!

You are jealous because they prefer my son over you!

(RADIO BEGINS PLAYING)

I am leaving!

You wanted your mommy?

You can have your mommy!

Grandma is leaving.

Come on, where's Papi?

LI'L C: Where's my father?

TOGETHER: Where's my father?

He's not coming home, all right?

Where's my father?

Where's my father?

Where's my father?

When is he coming home?

(THUMPING ON FLOOR)

Where's my father?

(MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING)

When's my father coming home?

(SHOUTING LYRICS)

(POUNDING STOPS)

(SIGHS)

When's my father coming out of jail?

I don't know.

When is he?

C!

Where are you...

Where are you going?

Out.

Wait a minute.

I want that car you took from Mr. Soto.

It's mine.

Ooh, Lil C's gonna get a beating!

-She can't hit me. -Go get your father's belt.

He was wearing it when he got busted.

Oh.

Come here.

You ain't gonna beat me.

Oh, no?

This will hurt! Here, Ma.

-That ain't gonna hurt. -Give me that!

Vinnie Vega's mom beats him with a hairbrush!

Vinnie Vega's a punk. I ain't a punk.

You and Pee Wee go in the room.

-But I don't want to! -Come on!

Don't fight with me, okay? Just watch him!

(WHINING)

Think I'm scared?

I ain't scared of Papi, I ain't scared of you.

If I hit you with this, will you stop stealing?

I don't know.

Why do I got to treat you like a baby, C?

Your father's not here.

-That makes you the man of the house, right? -Yeah, so?

So, if you act like a man, I'm gonna treat you like a man,

but if you mess up, like stealing and shit,

you're not gonna be a man in my eyes anymore.

Papi stole that stereo. You saying he ain't a man?

Huh?

I don't know what I'm saying.

I need your father here.

Just help me out here, C, okay?

I need you to grow up for a minute and help me out.

Thanks.

Okay, how do I look?

-(SPEAKING SPANISH) -Why?

Well, you've got back, baby, your face is beat down, but you're missing something.

-Alexis, thank you so much. -I'm gonna lend you my tits,

and you're lucky that I'm you're sister, okay?

Don't get happy, and be quick about it, okay?

I'm gonna show you how to walk.

-I know how to walk, Alexis. -Not how to walk with grace.

Just watch. Bop. Pose. Move.

Pose and feel it, oh.

Oh. Ooh.

And strut, bom, bom, work, and pivot, bop!

Yes, that's it. Work it, girl.

Feel it.

Yes, you better go, Latin Cindy Crawford, like that.

-I could be a model. -No, you are a model.

-Say "Yo soy una modela!" -Yo soy una modela!

(LATIN MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHS)

You have a great look. Just great.

However, you're going to need some new photographs.

For $75, I can...

Hi. How you doing?

$25 to process your application.

Oh, look, it says right here that the, um, government pays for it.

(VIDEO GAME BEEPING)

We don't see you without an application.

(GAME BEEPING)

Oh, so it's like that, right?

Like what?

I have an appointment.

They're just trying to get $25 out of you.

-This shit is a rip-off! -Excuse me. This is my desk.

Do you want to leave?

No, not until you give me back my $2.50.

I don't know what you're talking about.

My train fare I spent coming up to this fucked up place.

I'm not trying to be a model.

-I'm trying to hire one. -You played me to think that shit was real.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

You must be from the record company.

Hi, my name is Jasmine. Come right in.

We've been expecting you.

So is this a video or print job?

Neither.

My boss has a dinner meeting with the Mendez brothers.

He wants them to have something pretty to look at.

I don't think you have what I want.

Hi.

Put me through to Price.

That agency was a nightmare.

I'm through doing this, Price.

(HUMMING)

That's a Mendez song.

They're my favorite group.

Hi. I'm Lisette Linares.

Model extraordinaire.

Want to see my book?

I have to look like a model.

-I want my skin to be glowing. -You're gonna look glowing.

Papi's number came up.

What?

Lisette, I told you to play Chino's number.

You didn't play Papi's number?

Those numbers never pay anything anyway.

Right?

$6,000, Lisette.

Look, I didn't have enough money to go to the record company

and play your number.

I been playing that number every day for five years

and it finally came up, Lisette.

Finally came up, and you tell me you didn't play it?

I'm sorry, Chino.

That gonna get me out of here?

Chino, I'll get you out.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Mira, they're gonna pay me $400

just to go to dinner with the Mendez brothers.

You are not going anywhere with the Mendez brothers.

Do you hear me?

How am I supposed to get money for your bail?

You don't worry about money, okay?

I worry about money. All right?

I'll just stay in here until my trial.

How are you gonna put food on the table when you're locked up?

You're gonna have to go on welfare.

-No. No, no. Uh-uh. -Just for a little bit.

Because my mother didn't raise no welfare case, all right?

Oh, you think I want my family on welfare? Huh?

You think I want that?

Look, Lisette... I'll lose it, okay?

I'll go crazy in here if I got to think about you with other guys.

There's nothing going on with you and Magdalena, right?

No.

Yeah, well, everybody's saying shit, Chino, you know?

Oh, oh, everybody's saying shit.

So that's what this is about, huh?

You're gonna go with those guys to spite me

for something I didn't even do, right? That's nice, Lisette.

No, I just want to have some insurance, Chino.

If somebody steals you away from me, what do I got?

Nothing, right?

I don't want to be left with nothing.

Nothing?

How could you say that?

Mami, you see this ring on your finger?

That's all the insurance you need from me.

You got to trust me.

And I got to know I could trust you.

You see, that's what this is all about. Trust.

Why don't you forget that job, okay?

And go to welfare.

These are yours?

Yeah, it's a... It's an emergency thing.

You know, while Chino's in jail.

It's not, like, really welfare, man.

We didn't even fill out the application yet.

Lisette, food stamps are for food.

Pa la comida.

You can't buy diapers and soap with this.

I thought maybe you could do me a favor and take them.

I don't have any money left and that's all they gave me was the stamps.

I really need the diapers.

You trying to make my father cheat the state?

Because if he says he can't take 'em, he can't take them.

Okay, I'll let you have the diapers and the soap, but not the cigarettes, okay?

No, no, no, no, Papi.

No, don't let her pay for nothing with it, okay?

(MR. SOTO SPEAKS SPANISH)

No.

As a matter of fact, you should report her ass to welfare.

Why don't you mind your fucking business?

Hey, you watch your language in front of my grandson.

That's right, Lisette, because nobody told you to come into this store, okay?

You see the sign outside? It says "Magdalena's."

That's right, this is my store.

So if I tell you to step off, you step off.

I'm gonna have to call the police

and have them haul your ass out of here.

Well, my husband's dick has my name on it, all right?

And I don't need no cops to haul your ass off anywhere.

Because I swear to God, Magdalena,

you keep running after my husband,

I will pull that pharmaceutical blonde shit

out of your head so fucking fast...

Hey, hey. Take this and go, okay?

I am so scared of you, bitch,

sitting with that fat old welfare check.

(ALL SHOUTING)

Here, why don't you take the cigarettes and go?

Yeah, at least my kids know who their father is!

You belong in a fucking welfare...

(ALL CLAMORING)

(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

Son of a bitch!

You son of a bitch!

* You'd better change your ways

* Before you lose me

(RADIO SHUTS OFF)

We don't have to go on welfare.

C, did I tell you to come in here?

I can make us some money.

Not stealing.

-How? -Looking out for David.

Not dealing or anything.

He's gonna pay me to watch out for the cops.

No.

I'm the man of the house. I make the money.

And I'm the mother, I worry about the money.

I don't want anybody calling you welfare names.

I can take care of it, C.

You don't got to worry.

Just don't make me worry about you

running around with David and all them.

Okay?

-Okay, C? -Okay.

I'm hungry.

* You'd better change

PRICE: Okay, first of all, by some fluke of nature,

I was not born a Latino.

However, I do have a Puerto Rican assistant.

Come on, Price, an assistant?

An assistant, but she's more than an assistant,

she's like my right hand.

Yeah, so where is she?

She's at the office, working late.

She'll be here any minute.

Hi. I'm Lisette.

I'm sorry I'm late.

This is Lisette.

Lisette, um...

Linares.

My assistant. This is, uh, Tony Mendez and Ricky Mendez.

I am your biggest fan.

I just got to say that you are even more fine in person.

Thank you.

Could I talk to you for one second

about that shoot we had this afternoon?

-One sec. Excuse us. One second. -We'll be right back.

God bless you, boys.

(INAUDIBLE)

So, okay, okay, tell me,

what do you want me to say? What should I, you know?

I don't mean to hurt your feelings,

but you're not right for this job.

Here's $50 for your trouble.

Wait, wait a minute.

Val said $400.

Don't you get it? Val is trying to fuck me up.

Excuse me!

Look, Mr. Price. I can do this, okay.

I mean, I know everything about those guys.

I know all the words to their songs...

I want a bottle of Champaign now.

I know why Ricky never smiles, wanna know why?

-I don't care. -Because he has crooked teeth.

His cousin said that in Salsa magazine. See?

You didn't know that about them, right?

No, I didn't know that.

You didn't know that about them. I know that about them.

Come on, man, you need me.

Yeah. No, you know what I need?

I need her. That's what I wanted.

That's what I ordered.

Here.

Now you have $100, okay?

Please, just get out of here.

Uh, I can... Thank you, I can take myself out.

That's terrific.

What can I say, guys, huh?

Dragging you all the way down here.

It seems my assistant...

Lisette. Lisette...

Is having these painful, terrible ulcer attacks,

um, so I had to send her home.

-Is she okay? -Oh, she's gonna be fine.

I'm just sorry she couldn't have told you her ideas,

but, now, one of them...

-You're back. -I'm back.

-But you're so sick. -I feel much better.

-But you don't look so hot. You really don't. -No, I'm fine, really.

I mean, I didn't want the Mendez brothers to think I couldn't do my job.

Yeah, uh, Price was telling us you have some ideas for our group.

I do. I do have...

We're thinking about marketing...

Price, Price... Let her talk.

Okay.

Okay, I got, I got a lot of ideas,

but, um, my first idea,

and, I don't want to diss...

But I, uh...

I think you should get your teeth fixed.

-Huh? -(LAUGHS)

My teeth? What the fuck is wrong with my teeth?

There is nothing wrong with his teeth.

I tell him all the time about his teeth.

Ricky, look, let me tell you something.

I think that you're really fine.

But, I mean, sometimes I see you in your videos, right?

And you look so sad and serious, you know, like, like you don't want to smile.

Yeah, and he sucks on his lip. Like that.

-Uh-huh, yeah. -He does that every time.

I can't wear braces. I got an image.

Nobody wants you to wear braces.

Who said... That's not gonna happen. He doesn't need braces.

My sister Alexis is all about her image.

She wore braces.

She had them in the back of her teeth.

Nobody could see them.

Yo, Rick, that's a fat idea, man.

You should listen to this girl, man.

Yeah, I mean, listen, we're just being straight with you.

-Yo, thanks for everything, man. -I think he's drunk.

Our lawyers'll be in touch, all right?

-I am very happy. -Better be all that.

All right, and more...

You can't leave me with him, please.

-Can I take you home? -Oh, guys, guys,

I can take her home, it's right on my way.

You live in the Bronx?

Yeah, well, I mean, I can...

It's not far from me. It's not far.

I know when I'm not wanted, man.

Listen, baby, maybe some other time.

-Take care. -Okay. Take it easy.

-Bye, Ricky. -Bye, Lissy. Be cool.

-Yo, we'll be in touch. -All right, you guys.

Later, Price.

Bye!

What a night.

Oh, I can't believe it, man.

Tony and Ricky Mendez.

They were so nice.

They'd better be nice. I'm doubling their record sales.

I really like this job.

Job? Who said anything about a job?

Val said that if it worked out, you know,

maybe I could be your assistant for real.

I helped you sign them.

No. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I signed them.

I. Me. I signed the Mendez brothers.

Maybe Tony Mendez thought you were cute.

No, no, no, no. They liked my ideas.

Look... There's no job.

Whoa. Hey. Whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

You said... You said you were gonna drive me home.

To the Bronx? Are you out of your mind?

No, no.

Cab fare, yes.

I don't think so.

Oh, oh, I think so. Here. Here's more money.

Look, don't make me go off, all right?

You don't want to see me go off.

I don't want to see you "go off"? What does that mean?

I don't want to see you go off? Maybe I do.

But I want to see you get out.

That's what I want. I want.

Now is the time to get out of my car.

Come on, we've had fun.

Time to go. Taxi!

Out we go. Come on, come on, come on, let's go.

Let's go!

Look, how about I tell Tony Mendez you didn't even drive me home.

Ooh, yeah, let's do that. Come on.

Or how about I tell him I'm not your assistant?

-What's that? -His phone number.

Oh, yeah? Really?

It doesn't matter, I memorized it.

Let's see it.

555-2803. Get in.

Too much air for you?

Yeah, could you just watch the road, all right?

Keep your eyes forward and watch the road.

What are you doing?

Look, give me, I'll put it, I'll...

Look, you're gonna make us...

Just relax.

I'll do it, all right? I'll do it.

Then put it on. It's a great tape.

Oh, please, I'm not putting them on. I heard of them.

You have not heard of them.

They're so new they haven't even made a record yet.

They played at my cousin's block party, all right?

-They got booed off the street. -Yeah, right.

I've heard them sing. Listen to the demo.

Yeah, well, maybe you heard them, but I saw them.

I'm telling you... Uh, the...

One of the guys sings, he does everything.

He does a rap, he harmonizes,

his crew just lip-synchs to his tape.

Shit.

Oh, why, because now it's your business?

Chino's my best friend, okay? Oh, shit.

Look at that car.

You live here?

No, I'm just vacationing.

Listen, um, if you want a job...

I mean, if you really want a job,

I think I can swing it for you.

Why? Because I live here?

No. It's because I'm such a nice guy.

Yeah. Right, Price. Uh-huh.

Yeah, why are you such a nice guy?

You're a hustler.

I like that.

You want a job or not?

Yeah.

10:00.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Sit down, Ma.

(SCOFFS)

(INAUDIBLE)

What? I can't hear you.

(SIGHS)

I... I spoke to Magdalena.

-Can you hear me now? -Yes.

Well, good, because I have news for you.

She told me it's your baby.

-Ritchie? -Yeah.

That's not my kid.

Darling, it's okay. Listen, I don't blame you.

Okay, now, I did talk also to Mr. Soto, who wants to make a deal.

He says if you give the baby your name...

Mr. Soto will bail you out today.

If I give that kid my name, okay, Lisette's gonna leave me.

The one son the God left me and I got to see him in jail.

(SOBS)

You know what? You know what I wish?

That I would have died when your brother was murdered

because then I had something to be proud of.

What do you want me to say to you, huh?

Do you want me to say I ruined my life?

I can't do shit about it... I can't do shit about it now, okay, Mom?

Okay, listen.

You got two families, right?

One family will give you nothing for your whole life.

They just take and take and take...

And your other family,

you got a cute little boy...

And Magdalena, ooh, she's beautiful. Huh?

And her papi is opening a new bodega on the concourse.

You could be the manager.

I'm married to Lisette. I love Lisette.

(LATIN MUSIC PLAYING)

Take it easy.

Hi, Ma. This is Lisette.

No, I don't want any money.

Ma, listen.

I got a job.

Yeah, I got my own cubicle and everything.

Yeah, I got a phone and I got a computer.

Is Papi there?

No, no, no. No, no. I don't want to talk to him.

Just, um... Tell him about my cubicle, all right?

Okay. Okay. Bye.

Mami!

What are you doing here?

I came for my tits.

You said I could borrow them.

For one night, Nana. Not for your whole life.

If I give them back to you now, my boss is gonna know that I stuffed myself.

How embarrassing is that?

Look, you wouldn't even have this job if it wasn't for me,

and then you turn around and you steal my tits.

No, Nana, that's too shady, okay?

All right, fine. Okay, you want them?

(BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH)

-Come on! -Wait a minute.

You're so greedy and selfish with everything. Here.

I'm so selfish? They're my tits!

Why is it being selfish if I wanna put on my tits, huh?

You want socks?

No, I don't want socks. I don't want nothing from you. Thank you very much.

Bitch.

LISETTE: Oh, I'm the bitch, right?

ALEXIS: No, not a bitch, you're a thief.

Did you lose this?

Hi.

Ninita, give Pee Wee his bottle, please.

This is... This is my sister Alexis.

She just came by to say hi and bye.

Bye, mama.

So you're the guy with the Lamborghini, huh?

-Uh, yeah. -Uh, Mr. Price, I, um,

I wanted to talk to you about the, um, marketing campaign.

The marketing campaign?

-No. -No. What do you mean, no?

No, I, um...

I don't think that, uh...

It's not a good idea.

What's not a good idea?

You know, uh, let Val and I come up with the ideas. Okay?

And you correct Val's Spanish.

Gotcha.

Oh, Mr. Lamborghini...

Do you notice anything different about Lisette?

Yeah. I think so... What...

Your hair.

Your hair looks different.

I like it.

You get so stupid sometimes.

How come you didn't tell me he was fine?

Because I'm married, all right?

-But you think he's fine, right? -No, I do not think he's fine.

Ma, you like that white man?

No, I do... Alexis, do you see what you're starting?

Look, this is the only man that I like, okay?

Your father. Chino. My husband.

I'm sorry.

He like your tetas.

He's got a Lamborghini.

Leave Chino's ass in there, and go for yours.

Hmm?

Come on, honey. Have you got my purse?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What the fuck's going on, man?

Well...

She was in some guy's ride at 4:00 in the morning, man.

-Word. -With who?

A white guy in a Lamborghini, B.

I was hurting for you, man.

Bro, that car was shaking like somebody was getting fucked.

Man, you didn't see it. Stop making shit up, man.

But Jose, from 246, he told me he saw everything from his window, bro.

-Yeah? -So everybody knows my shit?

You saying I'm a cabron or something, bro?

Yo, yo, yo, I... Come on.

I didn't see what they was doing, so, all right?

You know, so, I can't actually swear, Chino,

there were actually fucking and shit.

Yo, but I swear to my moms, she came out of that Lamborghini, B.

-I ain't lying. -Yo, Lamborghini, bro.

He was fucking her, man.

You better not be bullshitting me, man.

What'd I tell you? We shouldn't have said shit, bro.

Because he gets all sensitive, man.

I ain't sensitive.

Yo, bro...

Chino cabron, man. Chino cabron.

Chino cabron, cabronazo. That's what they say, man.

I'm getting out of here, man. You know?

I'm gonna go up to her and say, "Hey, what's up, Lisette?

"What's up, baby? You doing me wrong?"

And if she is, you know, then I'm gonna kill her ass!

(ALARM RINGING)

(ALARM CLOCK BUZZING)

Chino, wake up.

You're gonna be late for work.

(ALARM STOPS)

Oh, man, I'm gonna be late.

PHOTOGRAPHER That's it.

Hold it right there. Hold it.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Would you do him?

Oh, come on, Lisette.

I'm asking you as a fan, okay?

-As a fan. -Yeah, that's very nice, very professional.

Would you jump into bed with a guy dressed like that?

-Do you want one sugar or two? -One.

See, if I can make him your fantasy,

then I know how to sell his album, so help me out here.

What's wrong with that kid's look?

You really want to know?

-Yes. -He looks corny.

I mean, look at that shirt. That shirt is scary.

Wrong.

What the hell is wrong with it?

She doesn't like it.

What?

Could you come here a minute?

Fantasize.
