- [Announcer] Another
beautiful Los Angeles day.

Man, we're so spoiled.

But let me spoil you a little bit more.

Turn this up.

It's Power 106.

- Get up.

I'm off to work.

Breakfast sandwich in the microwave.

- You know, mom?

One day I'm gonna own a
restaurant and make bank,

so you don't have to
work at your crappy job.

- Not before I beat the casino,

then I'll support your college education

and you won't have to
go to your crappy job.

- Is that clock right?

- Six a.m.

- Ooh mom. (growls)

(mom chuckling)

- Time to get up.

- Oh.

- Oh, well I guess you're already up.

- Celia, some privacy please?

- Excuse me, I am your stepmother now.

You have to call me mom.

- Okay, you know what, Celia?

- Mom.

- Mom.

Okay, this is really awkward.

- Honey, there's nothing
awkward about this.

Sex is a very natural thing.

Would you like a little lotion?

- What?

- I know what kinda lotion you need.

You need the cocoa butter.

- Yeah, sure.

- You're disgusting.

Oi.

(soft whimsical music)
(Mighty Mac snoring)

- Get up, get up.

Wake up.

(Mighty Mac snoring)

(chuckles) Time to go to work.
(water trickling)

(soft whimsical music)

(Mighty Mac snoring)

(air horn bellowing)
(Mighty Mac shouting)

(fist bashing)

- What're you doing?

Why am I wet?

Damn, bro!

(soft whimsical music)
(body thudding)

- He was a humble man
who inherited millions

when his father passed away.

Now he's moving mountains with tacos.

Bruce?

- Well you know before
I thought I had it all,

but I didn't have a
community that I belonged to

and well now I do.

- He's building a fleet of taco trucks

just for love and tacos.

- Yeah, you know what?

You know what?

I mean I got somethin' to say.

Before I had an addiction, you know?

I was what you would call (stutters).

Perlumptuous.

No, it's perlumptuous.

I was into ladies with
really big lumps everywhere,

you know?

So this one time, I was
at this jaina, you know?

We got down, a little crazy.

And then you know, she come
back at me an hour later.

She's talkin' about she pregnant.

But I did what any real
man would do, you know?

I booked it and then I
changed my beeper number

and then that's when I found Bruce.

Bruce changed my life, dawg.

- Great.

- Hey, you have a heart of gold, dawg.

C'mere, c'mere.

- No no.

No, I said never touch me, okay?

Now I gave you a job, that's enough.

Thank you.
- Gimme a taco, eh?

- Nope.
- Thank you for sharing.

- Sorry, fellas.

Well anyway, I'm a very hands-on person.

So with each new truck that I open up,

I'm right there working with the workers

making sure everything's tip-top.

And I have a philosophy.

- Yes?

- And that is that you need to
give cholos jobs, not drugs.

You give them tacos, not guns.

You need to give them hope, not hip-hop.

- Bruce took all my anger and rage

and he channeled 'em to cooking.

- That's great.

- You know, he taught me skills

on how to handle pressure
or without hurting people.

Hey, mom.

- These guys, they're my bathos.

I love them. (chuckles)

Wait, wait a minute.

Which one of you took my wallet?

Which one of you guys took my?

They didn't.

(chuckles) They didn't take my wallet.

That's the kinda fun racial humor

we have down here at Taco Ghando.

- (chuckles) Well Bruce
might look like the migra,

but he's not deporting people.

He is importing love.

Back to you at the studio.

Lauren Schwartz-Lopez reporting live from

Taco Ghando.
- Taco Ghando.

(mom weeping softly)

- What's wrong, mom?

- My work just called.

They said not to come in today.

I just lost my job.

They're relocating to India.

- What?

- What am I gonna do?

I owe more on the house
than it's worth. (weeps)

- We're gonna survive this, mom.

That's what we're gonna do.

- It's your taco shop money.

It's your dream.

Please don't.

- But then you won't be
able to pay for the house.

Mom, just take this as a backup.

- Thank you, son.

You'll get this money back, I promise.

- I know, mom.

It's okay.

I'm gonna be late to work.

Love you, mom.

- Love you too, mijo.

- [Man] Wanda Fresca, let's go

- [Woman] KBWR Los Angeles.

- [Man] Power 106.

(smooth soul music)

- Dude, I can't believe today's
your last day at work, man.

- No, it's not.

This letter's useless.

- Letter?

Wait a second.

Your dumb ass wrote a resignation
letter for a taco shop?

C'mon, dude.

It's not IBM you're working at, okay?

It's IB Mexicano at best.

I mean besides, you're supposed
to steal something first

and then quit and give
your boss the finger.

- Yeah, well my mom got laid off today.

- [Mighty Mac] Damn,
that's messed up, man.

- So no taco shop for you, man?

No tasty-ass recipes of yours?

Dude, that's your dream.

- Yeah, my dream can wait.

- Who's gonna hire a bunch of
fine-ass girls to work there?

Dude, I had the entire Corona girl

bikini team on board, dude.

- Q, it's a taco shop, not a strip joint.

- No, it was gonna be the cheaper Hooters.

Was gonna call it Cooters.

No wings, just breasts and thighs.

- Well I'm glad somebody has a dream, Q.

(horn bellowing)
(car engine roaring)

- Oh.

Dammit, don't look.

Cholo's always Mad Dog and I
don't wanna start anything.

- Wait, what cholo?

That one right there?

- [Smokes] Now don't look at him, man.

C'mon.

- Aight, check this out.

Watch this, guys.
- What are you gonna do?

- No, just watch.

- No, what?
- Watch.

- Mac, no.
- This is gonna be funny.

This is gonna be pretty sweet.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey. (smooches)

- [Smokes] Oh my.

(Mighty Mac giggling)

(car engine roaring)
(smooth soul music)

- (chuckles) Did you see that?

(car engine rumbling)

(tires screeching)

- Oh no.

(car engine roaring)

♪ Whenever you call ♪

(car door slamming)

- Whassup, ese?

You hitting up on me?

You think it's cute or something?

I'm not like that.

- No, man.

Look, it was a joke, okay?

I was just jokin' around.

- Hey homie, cool it.

I know these guys.

- Old School Eddie.

We cool, but he winked at me.

(Eddie huffing)

What, you like me?

I think I like you too, but what?

I ain't gonna do anything about it.

Do you think it's weird that
we're attracted to each other?

Do you think it's wrong?

- What?

- Just because you're attracted to me,

don't mean I'm attracted to
you 'cause I'm not that way.

Ever since I've been outta prison,

I'm back to being straight.

- Relax, he didn't mean anything.

- Old School Eddie, tell him
to relax, not to tempt me.

He don't know me that way.

He might have a cute look
and all, but I'm not gay.

- Hey man, we're just
here waitin' for our boss

to open up, that's all.

- No, man.

Look, it was a joke, okay?

- I know where you work, foo.

- 'Kay.

(Eddie chuckling)

Hey, you know that psycho?

- He's just a little heterophobic.

It's all good.

- Heterophobic.

- C'mon. (chuckles)

- The guy's scary as hell.

- (grunts) Old School Eddie.

(keys jingling)
(smooth jazz music)

Tapes of my big films.

Wow, there's my biggest.

I was co-executive producer and co-lead.

- [Smokes] "Black Cock Down"?

- [Gill] That's not what you think.

- Sequel to the "Chicken Run"?

- No.

It's about an African-American rooster

that fights depression.

- Cool.

Hey, can I have one?

- No, I'm signin' those
and sellin' 'em on eBay.

- Why would you get outta porn, Gill?

- Well I fell in love with my ex-wife

and I couldn't pass the physical anymore.

- Like an STD?

- No, like my heart.

Plenty of STDs.

I beat 'em all with vitamin
C and positive thinkin'.

I don't have gonorrhea.

I don't care what that lab report says.

Let's go make some food.

Smokes, get the trunk.

You don't want bad guys.

You know, I did gay for pay one time.

I wasn't proud of it.

You know somethin'?

- Hey, look a mustard.

- You look a mustard.

- Come on, man. (chuckles)

- Okay, let's get started, people.

Hey Old School Eddie, prepare the menudo.

- All right.

- Listen, folks.

Today's a very special day.

We have a very special visitor.

Mr. Singh, he's Indian from India.

- Ooh, you mean like
"Slumdog Millionaire."

- Less Slumdog and a lot more millionaire.

- Mm-hmm.

- Now right here I have our proposal

to make this into a profitable
franchise establishment.

We will grow all over Southern California.

- Which means each and every one of you,

especially Smokes has an
opportunity to become a manager

or assistant manager in a
Taco Dollar establishment.

- Wow, first manager.

Then hey, president.

- I don't eman to break your
heart but no way in hell.

Now also I found out
through our many connections

that we have a surprise visit

from the health inspector today.

- How'd you find that out?

- I asked him.

We used to work together in
medical clearances in porn.

Now listen people, I wanna have As.

Screw the Cs.

- I can't see Indians selling tacos.

Don't they do casinos?

- He's a 7/11 Indian, you idiot.

Okay, no Cs.

- What's so wrong with Cs anyway?

I averaged Cs in high school.

Look at me now, I'm doin' great.

- You know, if we get anything
that is less than an A,

I will give you all pink slips.

Now lemme introduce our newest
employee to Taco Dollar.

- Welcome, Susie.

She's my hire, so you two
idiots better not mess with her.

I know I don't have to worry 'bout you.

- Hello, Miss Berry.

- I told you call me Eve.

- Yeah you know, like the douche product.

- "Like the douche product." (chuckles)

That school over there,
that's Jorge Quesilla.

We all call him Quesadilla
'cause he's so dang-gone cheesy.

- [Gill] And he smells like Limburger.

He's got blue cheese
between his toes. (chuckles)

- And this big-boned brother right here,

this is my baby Mighty Mac.

- Hello, m'lady.

- Hi.

- We call him that 'cause
his greedy butt once ate

25 Big Macs in one setting.

He's the only person I know to be banned

from every single hometown
buffet in the LBC.

- It's actually an exaggerated rumor.

I only ate 23.

- And the cutie pie, drum
roll please, in the corner.

Get outta the way.

This is my baby Smokes.

Smokes meet Susie.

Susie, Smokes.

- Lemme guess, they call you
Smokes because you smoke.

- No, it's because when I was a little kid

I burned my house down.

- Oh, sorry.

- I had you for Miss
Lau's chemistry class.

- Rogelio?

- You're the class vice
president, Miss 4.0.

- And you were never in class.

- Wow, now you two work here.

Boy, that high school really
worked out for the both of you.

Okay, Susie is our new cashier.

Susie report to Eve.

She's our head of HR and our marketing.

C'mon, people.

Get to work.

(knives chopping)
(funky rhythmic music)

(grill sizzling)

(message blooping)

(Eve chuckling)

- Hey, Eve.
- Yup.

What?

- Sorry.

- You know, you can be
so ghetto sometimes,

always creepin' up on somebody.

Go!

Go, go.

I'm busy.

(siren wailing)
(Eve chuckling)

(retro blues music)

- [Smokes] Yo.

- Oh Smokes, check out our new product.

I got that the Charta at I put a Geo.

The hottest movies on DVD and Blu-ray.

What you need, that "Twilight" twizzle?

That's the trilogy.

What you need, what you need?

- Can't today, Amber.

Maybe next payday.

(El Guapo Loco speaking
in foreign language)

- Yeah.

For sure, man.

(retro blues music)

What?

- He sayin' are you broke?

- Oh.

Oh yeah.

- Like I-ain't-got-no-money broke.

Like you-should-quit-this-job broke.

- Exactly.

- (chuckles) He's broke.

We can't believe that
you come here every day

and you're actually broke.

- Is that Mad Dog Tony?

- Shaved head and tattoos,

it could be half this neighborhood.

- 'Sup, ese?

(bear smacking)

That's for you.

I wanna apologize.

It's cool if you're gay 'cause I'm not.

- Thank you?

- I wrote my phone number

on the bottom of that teddy bear's ass.

- That cholo has a crush on you, dude.

You guys gonna make wetback mountain?

I think he wants to play hide the chorizo.

(funky rhythmic music)

(Mugres speaking in foreign language)

- What are you eating?

- (chuckles) Your competition.

- Ding.

- [Amber] Yeah, you should
try one of these bad boys.

(Mugres speaking in foreign language)

- What?

- Oh please don't tell me
you're eatin' the merchandise.

Amber, Mugres.

Smokes, can you bring a box
of napkins outta storage?

- Yeah.

(counter knocking)

What's up?

- Aww, sorry I called you ghetto.

- It's all right.

- No, it's not all right.

Guillermo and I broke
up and it got real ugly,

so I met this new guy.

Real cat daddy. (imitates cat roaring)

(chuckles) Means he's a older guy.

- Like Social Security check old?

'Cause that's pretty steady income.

- I'll keep you posted as it pans out.

I don't wanna jinx it.

- All right.

- Mama needs this one to work.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

- Where'd you get this?

- The new roach coach across the street.

Go ahead, try one.

Go ahead, try it.

Try it.

- Oh god.

Ooh.

Oh god.

(soft reverent music)

Oh god, it's like marinated
with soya sauce, garlic.

It's like a foodgasm in my mouth.

So good.

It's like someone grabbed my taste buds

and said, "Who's your daddy?"

(grunts) Skip my taco truck.

Tastes like Kobe beef.

- You're not gon' take this are you, Gill?

- That son of a bitch is gonna die.

- And they're slammed with business

like you wouldn't believe, Gill.

- God, that's all I need

12 years buildin' a taco chain

to lose it to a drive-by taco truck.

- We gon' go over there
and crypt walk on 'em.

Ain't we, Gill?
- That's right.

- I want them dead.

Well competitively like do capitalism.

What I'm saying is I'm angry.

Better check this out.

- What?
- We're gonna check it out.

♪ Since she broke my heart ♪

♪ I'll never sleep the same ♪

- Okay, cholos.

We have had a banner year.

We eliminated the church
that was sellin' the tacos

and we got rid of the gang
that was selling the cookies.

- The Girl Scouts?

- Bunch of little girls,
they screamed a lot?

Yeah, that's the ones.

Well anyway, they're gone.

But Taco Ghando knows that in
this environment to survive,

you have to crush the competition

and that's just what we're gonna do.

And our competition is right
across the street, Taco Dollar.

And by the time we're done with them,

their dollar will be devalued
like the Mexican peso.

(group applauding)

(chuckles) 'Cause the peso is
what you guys use for money.

It's pathetic.

But to get you goin',
I have some incentives

if we make our projections
for this quarter.

- Incentives and bonuses work for me.

- Hey jefe, I prepared a comprehensive

PowerPoint presentation.

Can we dim the lights?

- Don't ever say comprehensive
to me again, okay?

Okay, so who likes a timeshare in Utah?

Who likes fresh powder?

All right, you guys
probably never seen snow.

All right, okay.

All right, how 'bout this:
Donny & Marie in concert?

- Aw, hell yeah!

Hey man that Maria, she is firme.

- She kinda looks like a chola

when she puts her hair up, eh?

- Hey, I'd hit that for sure, my boy.

- Okay okay, never talk
about Marie that way.

Your dirty brown skin

will never touch her virgin white flesh.

That is a new rule.

No thinking about Marie Osmond naked

with your dirty brown skin on her, okay?

- Hey, what he don't know won't hurt him.

- [Bruce] Hey, I hear you

because you're only three feet away.

- Here's the scenario:
you two are undercover

as a hot hungry couple
and you want his meat bad.

- I want his what?

- Did I say meat?

Sorry, my bad.

My porn days are creepin' up on me.

Okay, you gimme the 411:

price, menus, customers, got it?

- No.

- No?
- No?

- It's not in my job description.

- 'Kay, all right.

Here you go.

Split it between both of you.

Change your uniforms and go spy.

(sirens wailing)

- Great job in getting us some extra cash.

Starting a new semester next summer.

- Oh, what are you studying?

- Lemme give you a hint:

We are live in Huntington Park
investigating a taco truck

that might be selling
more than just tacos.

- A news reporter?

- Yes, broadcasting major.

- Oh.

You gonna interview me

when my taco shop gets
really big and famous?

- I will interview you.

- Looks like Charlie's in the wire.

(retro jive music)

(intriguing drumming)

- Hi, welcome to Taco Ghando.

I'm Bruce.

First time here?

- Yeah.
- Great.

- Taco Ghando, what a great name.

Why?

- Oh, well I did wanna
name it Taco Gandhi.

But some guy up in Berkeley
already registered the name,

so Taco Ghando.

But I love Gandhi and I think
he's one of the best guys

who's ever died.

Oh, you like my logo?

Yeah, I have a foundation
community-oriented.

I'm tryin' to give at-risk
youth a second chance, you know?

- I don't think that's a youth.

I know he has three and
he owes child support.

- Just one second, okay?

Hey Spider, back to work.

We have new customers here.

Now the big long-term plan is
to have a fleet of taco trucks

throughout Southern California.

Here we grow again. (chuckles)

- That's a McDonald's slogan.

- No, it's not.

No, it's not.
- What I think...

- Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

I said it first.

I was in the bar when I said it,

so I'm willing to go to court to prove it.

- So do you have any lingua?

- Yes, marinated cows on
your own special sauce.

Guapo Loco.

You better be manning that grill, bathos.

Hey, would you guys
like some free t-shirts?

How 'bout that?

You're both very attractive,

so I'd love for you to have some.

(intriguing jazz music)

- What's up?

- I think Taco Dollar just declared war.

- I like war.

- Well yeah, of course you do.

You're Mexican.

You're a violent people,
that's why I hired you.

- Didn't you guys come over here?

- Yeah, don't blame us, you know?

'Cause you couldn't handle it.

- No, I'm talkin' about the taco truck.

- Oh.

Yeah yeah yeah.
- Okay.

- All right, get your arm off me please.

- Oh, did you guys have
a nice little visit?

Oh wow, t-shirts.

- Gill, they can't even park there.

Why are you worried?

- I'm worried because food
is a battle and I'm a general

and a good general always worries.

I played a general once.

I made a camel cry.

Now it looked like I was
drillin' for oil the whole time.

(chuckles) You know what I'm sayin'?

Did it in one take.

One.

I'll never look at a
camel the same way ever.

(camel vocalizing)

Mighty Mac, Quesadilla, start scrubbin'.

I wanna get an A.

- Call me, boss?

- I talked about that
roach coach across the way.

- [Eve] Oh, they can't
park that thing there.

- No, I called the cops.

They can park there.

- But you can't have a taco truck

parked within 50 feet of a restaurant.

- Yeah, in our city.

If they parked in another city.

They found a legal loophole.

- Uh-uh.
- Yeah.

- That smells good.

New recipe?

- No, it's our competition.

- Uh-uh.

Mm-hmm.

- Try it.

(retro jive music)

- Mmm.
- You see what I'm sayin'?

It's good.

They got a secret recipe.

I'm gonna have a secret recipe.

- We need a secret recipe.

- We need a secret recipe like now.

- What do we have here, couple
of Mexican food connoisseurs

or corporate spies?

You had your employees spying on me.

- What?

- I really hate spies.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Very rude.

Have you met Mad Dog Tony?

- His name's not Mad Dog Tony.

That's Gerardo.

He used to work for me.

Too bad I fired him

'cause he took too many toilet
paper rolls and ketchup.

- That guy?

That's Spider.

He used to be my ex-fry cook.

Yeah, but I had to fire him too.

You know why?

Because he never washed his hands.

(retro jive music)
(Spider exhaling)

I called him Mr. E. coli.

- Remember me?

- [Eve] I remember you.

You never called me back.

- I remember you.

- El Guapo Loco.

So pretty it hurts.

He's a male model.

Never made it.

- I've done some runway ad print work.

- Yeah, for three years in prison.

- Okay, well now they work for me

and we have a terrific location

just across the street from you.

So Mad Dog Tony, why don't you go ahead

and just mark your territory?

(retro jive music)

(zipper buzzing)

- What?

(urine trickling)

What the hell is he doing?

(urine trickling)
(Mad Dog Tony wincing)

- Damn.

- Really somethin' else, huh?

- Honey, you need to drink more water.

- My god, it's like "Secretariat."

- That's for firin' me.

- That's a good dog, Mad Dog.

So now that I have your attention,

just wanna let you know that
we are at war with Taco Dollar

and the war will end
when we close you down.

Back to base, cholos. (snaps)

- What the hell?

- Where's the backup?

- 'Bout to clean this place!

- [Eve] Calm down, remember your pressure.

- God.

Smokes, grow some balls please.

- Sorry, Gill.

- Stop eatin' my food.

He pissed on my foot.

(dark foreboding music)

- This is war and they
fired the first shot.

Now Mad Dog Tony has the power
right there in his hands.

- What the hell is that?

- I stole it from a military lab.

I used to be a custodian.

I call it Ebola.

- Chemical warfare, my amigos.

Go ahead, release it.

(dark foreboding music)

(crowbar clanking)
(door creaking)

(intense orchestral music)

(rat squeaking)

(camera clicking)
(funky rhythmic music)

- (laughs) And it's still funny.

- Hey, Old School.

- What's happenin'?

- When a girl's married, which
finger is the ring finger?

- Well traditionally the wedding band

is worn on the left hand.

The vena amoris was said to be

directly connected to the heart,

a symbol of love on the
left side of the body.

(claps) Left hand.

- Learn all that in prison?

- I read an encyclopedia
back to front, front to back,

back to front and I learned
to make a great Merlot

outta raisins and a toilet bowl.

- Thanks, Old School.

- Anytime, homie.

(smooth soul music)

- 'Sup, Oscar?

Whoa, what happened to you?

- My brother hit me.

- Hey, Mighty Mac.

- Yo, what's up, Smokes?

- C'mere.

- Damn, Oscar.

Dude, who got a hold of you, Chris Brown?

- Did you hit him?

- Yeah, but it was an accident.

Here, look dude.

I'm sorry, man.

Here.

I got you a burrito for you
and your two buddies here.

- You know, my teacher almost called CPS.

I'm not goin' to foster care
because of your ass, okay?

- Whoa, whoa.

Settle down, bro.

No one's goin' to foster care.

- You better treat me for the
rest of the week, you fat ass.

- [Mighty Mac] Hey.

- Let's go. (snaps)

- That's not nice.

What is this, the Sharks versus the Jets?

What's goin' on?

(smooth soul music)
(both chattering)

- What's up, ese?
- Whoa.

- Added you on Facebook.

- 'Kay?

- I poked you, foo.

Gotta go.

Better accept my friend request.

- Okay.

- See ya later.

- All right?

- You should put some
highlights in your hair.

It'll bring out your eyes.

♪ Use it ♪

♪ If you do your song ♪

♪ Losin' my love ♪

♪ Scooby-dooby kinda love ♪
(phone ringing)

- I'll get it.
- Yeah.

Go get that please.

Don't you say one goddamn thing to me.

- [Smokes] Thanks for
coming to Taco Dollar.

- Thank you.

(smooth soul music)

- You know, it's almost lunchtime.

- I have to finish cleaning up.

- Well just for a little lunch,

I bought this really delicious dish.

It's called a Cemita and it's bomb.

Eat, rest.

The dinner crowd is gonna kick your ass.

You gotta eat something.

- Okay, let's see what you can cook up.

So what's up with the guy
who mumbles all the time?

What's his deal?

- Mugres, he used to be a luchador.

- What?

- Mexican wrestler.

His name was Omar Goverde.

If he had the suit on and the mask,

you'd probably recognize him.

- So did he get messed up in the ring?

- No, motorcycle accident.

No helmet.

- Oh.

- A lotta people like make up reasons

as to how he got messed up.

Some claim it was drugs.

- That's even more messed up.

- Not really.

I mean they pay him to
come speak at high schools.

A drug counselor comes and tells the kids

how drugs messed up Mugres.

And then he speaks and it
scares the hell outta the kids.

It's really funny.

- So is that his girlfriend?

- Oh, Amber?

No, I don't know.

- Mmm, oh my god.

That's a good torta.

- Oh, it's not a torta.

It's called a Cemita.

- So good.

- It's from Mojacar.

That's where my grandma was both.

(Susie chuckling softly)

You really like my Cemita?

- (chuckles softly) Mmm,
I really love your meat.

I wanna ask her out.

- My advice is this:
ask her out only once.

- Why only once?

- Because if you ask your
coworker out more than once,

it's considered sexual harassment

and you'll get sued or fired.

- You read that in the encyclopedia?

- No, it's in the guard
manual at Chino prison.

So ask her out in a
sincere, respectable manner.

Did you make sure he's not a pedophile?

I don't want him messin' with my pets.

mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

You got soft lips.

- So.

(pots clanking)

You think Gill will be okay?

- Yeah, I hope so.

- You actually got into a
fight and didn't get fired?

- Yeah, it was with my dad.

Luckily, Gill had a bad
relationship with his dad too.

- Right.

Did you fight in front of Susie?

- Yeah, why?

- Well it's either gonna make
you look like a real tough guy

or a dysfunctional lowlife
with deep-seeded issues.

(grill scraping)

- Cheers.

(retro soul music)

- What're you doin' this weekend?

- Looking for a second job.

I have to pay for school.

- Thought you'd be with
your boyfriend or somethin'.

- I don't have a boyfriend.

- Cool.

Not cool that you don't have a boyfriend

because you should.

You need a manly...

You deserve a boyfriend
because you're so pretty.

I'm just gonna go back here.

- All right.

Sorry 'bout your father.

I swear I didn't know,

but I broke it off with him anyway.

- Why, because he's a dick?

- No because you're my boy.

Your dad's not a dick.

He's actually a nice guy
and he says he loves you.

- He said that?

- Man, of course.

He's a good guy.

And between me and you, I
think he deserved what he got.

- So you gonna see him again?

- Nah.

When it comes to love, I'm like
the Clippers: a born loser.

- Well the Clippers
don't lose all the time.

- Yeah?

Well they never won the championship

and I say the championship is marriage.

Smokes, it's like my life
is just passin' me by.

I don't wanna be a Clipper.

I don't wanna be a Clipper all the time.

- Well who does?

I'd rather be a Laker,

but they can lose too.

- What are you making?

- Some poop juice.

- Are you aware that
your dad is the first man

I have ever dated in my entire life

that didn't have a criminal record?

Do you even get it?

Yeah, well just poop on that.

- Why do I always screw up?

I don't get it.

A bunny.

- We heard about Gill.

We didn't want this to get out of hand.

But Gill represents the old
way, the old mom and pop shops.

He's regular mail versus email.

He's DVDs versus downloads.

He's 8-tracks versus MP3s.

- What's 8-track?

- Think my primo's from 8-track.

- Shh.

- I think we might have a problem here.

- What if there is, ese?

(shoes squeaking)

What are you gonna do about it?

- Nothing?

I was just posing a hypothetical question.

- Don't waste our time with hypotheticals.

- Okay.

- Because I'm the real deal, okay?

I am the new way.

I'm corporate.

I'm not pathetic.

But we're gonna give you a break, okay?

A truce, just 'til Gill gets back.

- We don't need a break.

- Yeah, we had a break
like 23 minutes ago.

- Besides you know, this is
gonna beat your tacos any day.

This is our new secret
recipe, just try it.

(Bruce sighing)

- We'll see 'bout that.

(smooth blues music)

Not bad.

What's in it?

- Special marinated beef.

- Is that whole whack of mole?

So chocolate taste.

Hint of pine nuts in there maybe.

- You know, mole's been
around since the Aztec days.

- That's why they lost the war.

But you,

you could be a leader.

You got executive written all over you.

Now I know you're loyal to
Gill, but things change.

I mean you never know what's gonna happen.

Maybe there's a grease
fire, Gill's not here.

That could be bad and I know
you know about fires, Smokes.

Right back there, big stack of newspapers.

Propane tank, boom!

"Mommy, I'm burning."

Not my problem.

You know what, your taco?

Nothin' special.

Guackenmole went out last year.

Read the trades.

(stomach grumbling)

(winces) Okay, a quick
question about them.

Is there cheese in the taco?

'Cause I'm lactose intolerant. (farts)

There is?

Okay, well. (winces)

Ow.

Okay, here I go.

I can make it.

I can't make it.

I'm not gonna make it. (farts)

(Bruce coughing)

Oh god.

- Hey boss, you all right?

- No, I don't know what was in that taco,

but I got it comin' out both ends.

Careful, my appendix might be in there.

(sighs) You messed with the wrong gringo.

(stomach rumbling)

Bring the bucket back.

- So what're you doin' after work?

- I'm leavin' early today.

I gonna visit my mama's grave.

Yeah, she died on this
very day five years ago.

I was a prick when she died.

- Sorry, man.

You goin' alone?

- I'm the only one left, pal.

- Don't you have a girlfriend?

- There's not a lotta women

who wanna go out with an
ex-convict workin' the grill.

- That's not true.

You're a great guy.

You served your time.

- Actually, I got out early
'cause the state was broke.

- You were innocent, right?

- No, I was guilty as hell.

I just hope nobody ever runs my DNA.

- Okay, so, then you load
the roll and then press.

- You press this button.

- Correct, yeah.

Sorry it's not rocket science, Miss 4.0.

- No, it's not.

- That's the register.

- Perfect.

- Can I have a word with you?

- 'Course.

Be right back.

- All right so

my mother raised me alone,

but she never gave up on herself dating.

She dated lots of good guys

and some married ones,
but don't give up on love.

♪ In my heart ♪

- Thank you for that, Smokes.

- Hey, Taco Dollar.

We're here to kill.

- What are you, the ghetto ghostbusters?

- No, ratbusters and we
have a killer strategy.

Say hello to my little friend.

- Hello.

- Mm-hmm, hola.

- What?

- We're gonna smoke that motha out.

(soft psychedelic music)

- Hey, Q man.

I didn't roll that thing
for just a rat, okay?

Why don't you pass it over here?

- [Quesadilla] A little more.

- Yeah.

- So as I was sayin',

I got a friend who runs a
dirty diaper cleanin' service,

so we took a turn in dirty diapers

and put it under that lunch truck.

- (chuckles) Nice.

(Mugres speaking in foreign language)

- And then we blew all four tires

on that psycho white boy's roach coach

and now it's a doo-doo mobile.

- You're kidding me.

(Quesadilla coughing)

- It was probably those
guys from Taco Ghando

who gave you guys that plague.

- What're you talkin' about?

- I saw those cholos

in the back of the store with a shoebox,

a big Shaq-foot rat-size shoebox.

- Q, did you just hear that?

(Quesadilla coughing)

I knew it was those guys.

- Taco Ghando.

(knife chopping)

- Hey Eddie, what's up?

- Hey baby.

- Ooh, I am so sorry about your mom.

- I'm not cryin' over mom.

I'm cryin' over onions.

- Sure.

- [Both] Mmm.

- (exhales) Kickin'.

- [Mighty Mac] That's
good right there, Mugres.

(soft whimsical music)

- (sighs) Man.

- This guy ODed I can't believe it.

(Mugres speaking in foreign language)

- Hey, Q.

Hey.

- Leave me alone, abuela.

I'm not touching myself.

Hey man, I'm paranoid and all hungry.

- Dude, he's done.

- Look it, look it.

That rat's got my cheese, man.

(Mugres speaking in foreign language)

- [Quesadilla] He's
got munchies too, dude.

- Come on, just let me give
you a ride home after work.

- Okay, I will take you up on that offer.

- Any news on Gill?

- Oh yes, I talked to his doctor.

Just needs to rest and be stress-free.

- Stress-free.

He better stay away from here.

- He suffered a minor cardiac infarction.

- A mini fart?

- A mini heart attack.

Listen, guys.

I gotta go crunch some numbers
and then give Gill a call

and tell him everything
is running smoothly.

(Old School Eddie whispering)

(hands slapping)

- You're kickin' ass in here, Old School.

(retro rock music)

(machine fizzing)

Shit.

Thank you.

The health inspector is here.

Old School, keep him entertained.

Mac, Q, catch that damn rat.

(screeching feedback)

Number 34, your order's ready.

- C'mon, let's go.

- Mommy, did he say rat?

- Bacteria in lemon slices.

- Yes.

- Your dirty ice.
- Mm-hmm.

- That foodborne bacteria.

That's your biggest challenge.

- Man, you are so right

and it's very difficult to detect.

You know, you should be doin' my job.

You know a lot about bacteria and E. coli.

- And the neurovirus.

That is one contagious beast.

- You've got that right.

- Hey, guys.

- Is Gill here?

- No.

- All right, well he
does not need to be here.

I'm gonna go ahead and start
right here in the kitchen.

- Anything I can assist with?

- Tell you what, you can call my boss.

There's a job waitin' for you.

- That is great.

I'm a convicted felon.

That is a great opportunity for me.

Thank you.

- You don't say.

- Yeah.
- Gimme that.

All right.

(gun cocking)

- Die, rat!

- How's the kitchen looking, Mr. Holmes?

(gun blasting)

(Eve stuttering)

- Were those gunshots?

- No.

- No no, I'm sure it's
just the door jamming.

(gun blasting)

- You need to check that door.

- Yeah, excuse me.

Q, what the hell?

- It's that rat, man.

He's in my head, man.

He's messin' with my mind, dude.

And he's in my head.

He's messin' with my mind, dude.

Told you I see him everywhere, man.

He winked at me.

- You're supposed to be watching him.

- He's in my head and everything.

He's messin' with my mind, dude.

- Q, gimme the gun.

- It's that rat, man.

- Q, gimme the gun.

- In my head.

Where did you even get this?

- It's that rat, man.

(funky rhythmic music)

- You know, you people love our drama.

- Whoa, okay.

Everybody just relax, all right?

Everything's under control.

- Okay, now it all makes sene.

The health inspector is in
cahoots with Taco Dollar?

Shameful.

- No, sir.

I shut you down because I found
diapers and other toxicities

under your mobile taco shop.

- Okay, well I'll have you
know that I was set up.

- By whom?

- By them.

- Excuse you?

- Taco Ghando is full of shit!

- [Group] Yeah!

- That's right.

- Okay.

Little guy, you just started
a battle that you can't win.

- So what's gonna happen?

- World War Tres, boop.

- Cracker, please.

- Hey.

- Not you, sir.

Not you.

I'm talkin' to the cracker
with the bald head.

(smooth rhythmic music)

- Hey, I'll fight.

I know the art of Kama Sutra.

I can screw a woman so good
that she'll fight for me, eh?

I need goddesses like that.

- Oh, hell no.

You ain't all that.

- I'm not fighting.

(smooth rhythmic music)

Let's go.
- Hurry up!

- Yeah.

Payback means comeback for El Moco Verde.

- Moco Verde?

- Yeah, he was big in (speaks faintly).

- Amber, Susie, Eve, can
you go outside please?

- Hell no.

- No.
- No!

- Honey, I'm not goin' nowhere.

Forget that.

I'm throwin' down with
these mighty maricon asses.

- And I can hold my own.

- Damn, impressive.

- I have balls and so should you.

- Well I have balls.

- Really?

'Cause you've been tryin'
to ask me out all day.

(Smokes sighing)

- Well if I make it out alive,
do you wanna go out sometime?

- Even though I don't cook,

I'm independent and
lookin' to be educated?

- Especially because of that.

(Susie chuckling softly)

♪ Yes, you know ♪

- Say hello to my big friends.

- Gill, what the hell?

- I knew it'd come to this,

so I brought two of my
buddies from the biz.

- But they're women.

- Not quite yet.

They're just one little
procedure away from it.

(retro soul music)

Bill, Tony, let's kick some ass.

- Okay, are you the captain of this ship?

- Dude, we didn't wanna
start anything with you.

- Okay look, I can

one way or another.

- Son, is this still a bad time?

- Can someone please get
my mother outta here?

that I'm here for more than sex.

- Wow, okay.

There's people here.

- Not in my puedes.

- No, no puedes.

- Shh.

Si, se puedes.

- Don't judge.

- What's going on?

- They're tryin' to fight your son

and close my establishment.

- These putos want to rumble?

I fight crazy.

They used to call the
sad girl back in the day.

- Gill, you have a bad heart.

You can't fight.

- I'm okay.

It was just a reaction to Viagra.

It's very common.

If it doesn't go down in
four hours, call a doctor.

Let's go.

I'ma call Don King.

- Oh my god, Gill.

You can't walk?

- No no, I'm just tired and hung over.

I was partying in Vegas.

Porn convention.

(winces) Twins my back out.

Well no tacos, no investors.

We're done.

- Gill.

- Look who the rat dragged back in.

- No, look.

Look, I wanna call a truce.

- Well it's a little late for that now.

- We're both closed down, all right?

We're just fighting over
our little bits of turf

like a couple of gangs,

but their gangs are fighting over food.

But similar to gangs, we're fighting.

- I one time fought over some pork chops.

(Bruce vocalizing)

- Sorry.

My point is nobody won.

What do you guys do?

(both speaking faintly)

Just never goes on.

- Mijo.

(car horn honking)

I won.

I won, I won.

Oh hell yeah, I knew it.

I lost for so many years

and finally I won the biggest
poker tournament in Carson.

(soft cheerful music)

- What's this?

- Your money.

- This is 10 times more
than what I gave you.

- I have a

little

tiny

gambling problem.

- But what about your job?

- I haven't had a job in 10 years.

I'm a professional gambler

and I made it big thanks
to your investment.

And now I'm investing in you, mijo.

- But you told me that you quit gambling.

- I lied. (chuckles)

You need to loosen up.

Open up the taco shop you
always dreamed of, Smokey.

(soft serene music)

- I have an idea.

Gill, if we combine our resources,

change the men who deliver,

we could make a killing.

- [Gill] Sellin' tacos?

- No.

Selling more than tacos.

- Hold up, so you guys
are back in business?

- [All] Yeah!

- Yeah.

- Okay then, I'm gonna crush you

like so many dirty cucarachas.

Wow, okay?

The truce is off.

- Your mama.

- Your mother as well.

- Everybody sells tacos.

We wanted something special.

- And the owner of taco
shop, Gill Travalio Ramirez,

was thinking the same thing.

- We needed somethin' special.

And talkin' about special, you're special.

I'd love to work with you.

I would love to act with you.

- Thank you.

- Man does not live on tacos alone.

I mean you have to change it up a bit.

than a regular old taco.

- Yeah, so we have the Cemita.

leaves you speechless.

- Taco Dollar, it's
definitely the new spot.
