"You need a new flea collar." "How was work?" "Boss wants the rent." "Dinner's almost ready." "Stop eating, Jaime!" "." "Or else I'll feed your plate to my turtle." "Put your index finger here..." "It's your birthday." "Next week." "Sorry, love." "I get dizzy too easily." "Come dance with me." "Your dad won't mind." "He's not my dad." "Thanks, but we're about to leave, so..." "Okay then, y'all have a good night." "What's wrong with you, that boy was fine." "We're just sitting here." "You have some other boy in mind?" "Of course not." "I want you to get out there." "It's almost four years since we lost Manuel, honey." "It's time you moved on." "I don't want to talk about it." "Anyway I'd rather stay home Saturday nights... and watch 'Sabado Gigante' with Jaime." "Don't bother the girl." "No, I think we know some good candidates for her." "Candidates?" "Just let me know the day before the wedding and I'll show up." "How bitter she is." "You know my sister, Juana." "How bitter she is." "Women shouldn't grow old by themselves." "I won't let that happen to you." "I'll move out soon." "Don't be so quiet." "You always get quiet when you're upset." "Any better yet?" "I'm fine." "I'll stay." "No." "Go, go." "You'll be late." "I'll take care of her." "Get her out of the house tomorrow so I can make her a birthday cake." "What are you whispering about?" "Lupe's saying how bad you stink." "Dad, are you okay?" "Jason's sorry he couldn't be here." "He's in Tampa again for work and there's no way he would make it in time." "Dad, what are you doing?" "I would have paid for the funeral home." "This isn't right." "It's disrespectful." "I didn't want to give her to strangers." "Mom deserves better." "Where's Victor?" "He lives closer, he should be here by now." "I can't believe neither of our families could come." "I'm just glad you're here." "It must have been three years since we've all been together." "It hasn't been that long." "How's work and your new house?" "Good." "You know..." "Your mother was proud of you." "Dad." "Hey everyone." "Juana, thank you so much." "Well, somebody's gotta take care of you two now." "Where's my sister?" "She looks peaceful." "I would have gotten that for you." "How's my dad doing?" "It's hard to say." "What'd she bring?" "If it's as good as it smells, we'll all end up in the hospital." "It's the thought that counts." "I don't even think my mom liked her." "I remember when she used to wear this." "She never even wore this one." "Wasteful." "I'll wear it." "I couldn't really use any of this stuff." "It's sort-of late 70's." "Would you like something to drink?" "No, thanks." "I guess this would look nice with something blue." "Did someone already go through this?" "I thought she had more." "What are you doing now at BanTek?" "You know what LAN networks are?" "I set those up for schools and small businesses." "Is it busy?" "Yeah, things are good." "It's okay." "I'm pretty hectic, too." "It's that time of year." "We should probably get back soon, right?" "Maybe we'll beat traffic." "There you are." "I remember when she gave you that hat." "You didn't like it at first." "This was Maria's favorite time of day." "It's beautiful, and I never noticed." "What's up?" "Are you Jaime?" "Connie said I should wait for you." "It's cool that you can retire at your age." "My grandfather's still working." "Pull this tight." "Okay, you try it." "I've changed my mind, about what Maria was talking about." "It's time you stopped living with me and found a new husband." "Where the hell did that come from?" "I'm serious." "It's what Maria wanted." "I want you to remarry." "Before it's too late." "So you're going to remarry, too?" "It's late." "You've got work tomorrow." "Where's Connie?" "It's past seven." "I have to walk." "He's over in Shiner this week." "You'll be late." "Probably so." "How was work?" " Fine." "Are you hungry?" "Then where have you been going every day this week?" "Looking for other work." "But there's nothing." "And apartments want the first and last month... before we move in." "We'll find a way to stay here." "I don't think so." "What about Juana?" "I'll go to San Antonio." "You'll stay with Eva." "No, we'll stick together." "vI'll find a way." "I've never seen this photo of Manuel." "My son always wore that same shirt." "It's been a long time." "It'll be good to see the life Victor's built for himself." "A new house." "Are we still in San Antonio?" "Let me get that." "Thank you so much, Andrea." "You two can stay in the boys' room." "Sorry it's not much." "We'd planned on a three bedroom, but... it's difficult with only one income." "I didn't want to talk about it at the funeral, but BanTek's had some cutbacks." "They'll try to hire me back in the Spring." "What are you doing now?" "He fixes air-conditioners." "It's not just that." "Part-time." "We can move this stuff over." "Gabe's so cute." "Cute's one way to look at it." "Who's Matthew?" "Stop running and get in here." "One!" "...." "Two!" "...." "Matthew's our youngest." "Including the cat." "Gabe, do you remember your granddad?" "Hey, let's go out to dinner okay?" "What about Tomatillo's?" "I'll pay you back by Tuesday." "I meant to bring Matthew down to you and Mom, but..." "And this job thing is just temporary." "Don't make excuses." "Listen, Victor..." "Dad..." "We're gonna be late Victor!" "." "Come on." "Hook this." "Hey, I just invited Luis." "You'll like him, he's your age." "He lives a few doors down." "She needs to meet more young men." "Let us know if you like him and we'll invite him back to the house afterward." "Just make a signal or something." "Don't start." "If you think he's cute, just say you want more jalapenos." "Yeah." "I'm not going." "You can't be too picky, honey." "You aren't exactly a spring chicken yourself." "The sitter's here, let's go." "Victor, go put something decent on." "Hurry hurry." "Move it Victor!" "." "You can use a fork for that if you want." "Have you become that crass too?" "Probably." "It looks like finger food to me, anyway." "Luis, did you know Lupe's from the same part of Oaxaca as you?" "El Coyul." "I used to go there with my cousins." "It's beautiful." "You know Rio Seco?" "I wish I could go back to visit, in Spring." "There's so much space... not like here." "How would you rate this pork?" "It's good, it's pretty good." "I'm a butcher." "I work at Reyes'." "I used to work at Randall's, but it's too corporate." "They don't care if you know what you're doing, or if you take the time to learn what the customers want." "I can't handle that." "So I quit." "So you're sort of a rebel butcher then." "Well..." "Lupe, you want some more jalapenos?" "No thanks." "But it tastes better with jalapenos." "Come'on." "Yeah, they're good." "Sounds like you guys want more for yourselves." "Here, you can share these." "That's funny you guys are from the same place." "It's really not that close." "Well, I'll have to bring you some of the best cuts of meat sometime." "For the whole family." "I think we can all squeeze in." "I'm claustrophobic." "Can you catch the next one?" "Hey, don't crush him." "Sorry." "I like your father and Lupe, but they just hopped on a bus without thinking." "He's going to find a job." "But how long is that going to take?" "And what the hell are you doing spending $1 50 on dinner?" "Can you spare some change, man?" "Your dog come in?" "Let me show you how to bet." "Come on, we'll split the winnings." "Sorry, man." "Man, I should kick your ass." "Hey asshole, I just" "Jaime?" "Jaime!" "." "Look at this bastard." "Salazar?" "What are you doing here?" "I thought you went back to Tamaulipas!" "." "I didn't recognize you." "You look good." "No, I went down but came back up in '92." "Now I'm visiting my son." "Man, that's great." "My son won't spend thirty minutes with me." "He and his wife still living with you?" "No, man." "I couldn't take that shit no more." "I got my own place." "You still see Camarillo?" "How is he?" "He's dead." "Hung himself a few years back." "He got old fast after his wife died." "Time flies." "Yeah, time flies man." "It really flies." "So who do you like in the fifth?" "No, I have to get back." "But we should get together soon." "Yeah, have a few drinks." "Okay, I'll see you around." "It was good to see you." "Good evening." "I brought you a few of the best cuts we had today." "You didn't have to do that, really." "Well, the real reason I came by was you'd left your coin purse at the restaurant." "I found it in the parking lot." "That's not mine, Luis." "Really?" "Well...would you like to take a walk, or talk or something." "Actually, Jaime's been sick in bed all day." "I don't know if it's something he ate, but I'm sort of taking care of him." "Hey Luis!" ". hello!" "." "Jaime!" "." "Get back in bed." "What's wrong with you!" "He's never going to get better if he doesn't rest." "Oh, okay." "I hope you feel better, Mr. Esparza." "I'm feeling better already." "Okay, good night." "I'll have two asadas, please." "You want flour tortillas?" "Or..." "Flour." "There a lot of onions?" "No." "Which part of Mexico are you from?" "I'm from here, man." "Look..." "I'm sorry for wasting your money." "I know you won't say it, but I can feel it." "Maybe." "But why didn't you bring your mother her own grandson." "It's one thing... if you didn't want to visit." "But she never even knew he existed." "That's not the way we raised you to treat family." "And if you lose one job, you can't just..." "I never gave up." "It's just not that simple." "But I'll try harder." "You just need to try everything you can." "Yeah, I know." "Hey we shouldn't just sit around the city while you're here." "We should go up to Lake Calaveras, just the two of us." "I'd like that." "But I've got that..." "We'll figure something out." "Is dinner almost ready?" "Almost." "You've been letting them watch TV in Spanish?" "Where's Gabe?" "He's playing out front." "No he's not, I just drove in." "Have you seen Gabe?" "He's probably destroying something out back." "No he's not." "Did he say he was going somewhere?" "He got angry because he wanted money, but..." "You're supposed to be watching them." "If you're going to stay here you have to take some responsibility." "Hi, Maria." "How's it going?" "No, it's fine." "Have you seen Gabe?" "No?" "Okay, thanks." "No, it's fine." "Bye." "Well, I've got to go look for him." "What's going on?" "Gabe's run away." "He was here an hour ago." "Well an hour is a long time." "Let's not get worked up." "I'll take the car." "Jaime, do you think you can watch Matthew, for just a little while?" "Sorry about that." "Come on." "You won't run away when you grow up?" "I can't believe I let this happen." "Andrea seemed pretty upset." "She's always like that." "I'm sure he's fine." "What's up?" "Hey, it's the guy you rejected." "Andrea is convinced Gabe ran away." "I'll help." "It'll be faster on my bike." "Sure, but it's no big deal." "Actually, I'm not really sure how he looks." "Then Lupe can go with you." "Well, if..." "He's wearing a red shirt." "Go on." "This is your fault, remember." "Hold on." "He wanted money." "I think he said something about rides, but we didn't know what he was talking about." "Gabe's fine." "He's back home." "He was here but didn't have any money so he went back." "It was no trouble." "I guess we can go home now." "What do you miss most about El Coyul?" "Watermelons." "Long summers." "I remember." "I'm surprised I never saw you, it's such a small town." "Maybe you did and we didn't know it." "You ever think about going back?" "Things were difficult there, too." "You used to live with Jaime, and Victor's mother?" "Maria." "My brother hates his mother-in-law." "It wasn't like that." "We were close." "I haven't seen my own mother in six years, and I never knew my dad." "When I left Coyul, my mother held a ceremony for me, like a kind of funeral, because she knew we'd probably never see each other again." "I wish I'd told Maria how important she was to me..." "When I was fifteen, I got so angry at my Mom I poured salt on all her rose bushes." "She died later that summer." "She used to work on those bushes for hours, on her hands and knees in the dirt." "It's late." "You don't have to cook breakfast." "I was going to make it." "Don't bother." "Are we going to work on your math when you get home?" "I asked Maria to pick up the kids today." "You don't need us to look after them?" "It's easier this way." "They don't want us here." "You shouldn't have to live like this anyway." "It's time you moved out on your own." "Just try to sleep." "I'll figure something out." "Sorry for the mess." "I usually keep things neat, but it was short notice." "You can have the guest bedroom, and Lupe can stay in... what will hopefully be the baby's room someday." "Make yourself at home." "I'll get us something to drink." "That was too much!" "It was so crowded and that house couldn't keep the bugs out." "How many people were there?" "It was Jaime, Maria, Victor, Alice, Me, and Manuel." "So...what's this I hear about you and Victor's neighbor?" "Probably from the biggest liar." "I don't know this guy, but you should get out there." "You're not getting any younger." "You have to grab the good ones before they're all taken." "It's nothing." "Besides, everybody gets divorced these days." "So I can find someone on their second time around." "That's how Alice found me." "Well she's lucky she did." "And you're lucky I did, too." "You used to complain I was dating a white guy, but you're not complaining now that you need a place to stay." "No." "There's no way." "You'll like it." "I don't gamble." "It's just dirty." "Go!" "We could've had a trifecta." "You're not reading the backgrounds!" "Come'on, who do you like in the third?" "I don't actually gamble." "Honestly, it's just... dirty." "It's still dirty." "I've only come here maybe two or three times." "Hey Luis." "Hi Antonio." "Two dollars?" "You seemed stuck-up the first time we met... but I knew it was an act." "It's strange, we wouldn't have seen each other again if that punk hadn't run away." "We wouldn't have met if Jaime hadn't grown too old for his job, and if Maria were still living." "Sometimes I don't feel like I'm living." "I never take risks." "Don't you ever want to do something different?" "Do you ever think of moving out on your own or with someone else?" "Sometimes." "But Jaime needs me." "People talk like I 'll become an old spinster, but I don't care." "You'll still like me if I'm an old maid, right?" "Look at the tadpoles." "I can't lose that." "I can see it." "Hold on." "It's beautiful." "Where'd you get it?" "from Manuel." "My late husband." "What do you think about El Paso?" "I might move there if my cousin gets me a better job." "You should come" "Luis, don't..." "Okay." "I guess it's late." "You know how I feel about you..." "I won't ask anymore." "If you want to see me again you can call me." "I don't want to go back to Alice's yet." "Hey." "We were worried about you." "Sorry, I didn't think it would be a problem." "Well, it's just inappropriate, really." "Tell her, Dad." "She needs to be careful." "Go on." "Somebody needs to tell her." "You know I trust your judgment, but Alice is right." "You can't stay out so late with a boy you hardly know." "Especially when Alice is being nice enough to let us stay here." "Understand?" "Was it fun?" "He took me to the tracks." "He's just as dirty as you." "A fine young man." "It's nothing." "You're falling in love." "I can see it." "No..." "I don't have those feelings for him." "Love is an accumulation." "Montgomery residence." "Lupe?" "Hey Victor." "What's up?" "Not much." "How are things in 'the museum'?" "Is Alice around?" "'The curator' has stepped out." "Hey are you going to Luis' party, even though things didn't really work out with you two?" "I haven't heard." "It's just his going-away party." "You know." "He's leaving?" "So he's leaving then." "Maybe I shouldn't have said anything." "No..." "We hardly know each other." "Hey, I didn't think you were coming." "You seem busy anyway." "What?" "It's your party, you can do whatever you want." "That's Missy." "My cousin." "I didn't know I meant so much to you!" "You don't." "And you have too many cousins." "Let's get out of here." "If this is my last night, I'd rather spend it with you." "Come with me tomorrow." "I'm patient." "And loyal." "I'll write you." "Every night." "Promise me." "Jaime, what are you doing here?" "We were supposed to catch up, have some drinks." "Oh yeah, come in, come in." "You're lucky to have your own place." "We should go to this place I know, it's..." "No, first... first we visit Camarillo's grave." "You've never been there." "I'm looking for an angel about this high." "It's not Camarillo, but his is close." "Hold on." "I was just here a few months ago." "Okay, I recognize that guy." "We're getting closer now." "Is there some place to ask?" "I don't need to ask, man." "I was friends with this guy for forty fucking years." "I know where he is." "Goddamnit." "Where is that son of a bitch?" "Maybe he's hiding from us." "Fuck it, let's go." "San Antonio life is like that." "We're lucky we never had to fight." "Boys in the army these days have rebels, and mafia, and..." "We should have fought more!" "All this shit goes back to losing the war with America." "They took our land." "This roof would be in Mexico" "If we hadn't lost, all the whites would be pouring across the border... into the Mexican state of Texas." "Their gringo kids would be singing Mexican folk songs... and they'd be cooking for us, man." "Then it's lucky we lost." "It all started with that." "That's why our kids are so useless." "As soon as you raise them they want you out of the way." "My son never came home to see his mother before she passed." "Now we talk, but we say nothing." "I always say... honor thy mother..." "Now Manuel was different." "You didn't deserve to lose him." "Maybe Manuel was my favorite... but if he'd lived," "he might've disappointed me, too." "It's terrible he died so young." "Maybe we're lucky." "Our kids could have been a lot worse." "What about Lupe?" "I know she's not yours, but are you gonna marry her off?" "Hopefully... before it's too late." "I bet you'll hate to lose her." "I thought by this age, I'd be in Mexico... in a big house, with my family surrounded by grandchildren." "Things turned out a little different." "If there's one thing I've learned about this life, it's that we're put here just to make more dirt... and that's okay." "There's a girl at the cleaners in Gonzales." "She looks exactly like my wife did thirty years ago." "It's amazing." "Like I could just go and see Maria any time I want to." "I think my bus is that way." "We'll meet again." "You should get your own place like me." "He doesn't have any papers, but I won't write this up." "Inside." "He's drinking again." "And he woke the whole street." "Dad, I can't believe this." "What are you thinking?" "We try to help you and this is how you treat us?" "It hasn't been long since Maria." "Well, she was my mother and you don't see me acting like that." "I don't know." "He's going to have to go back to Victor's because I can't deal with this." "Now I'll have to listen to everyone asking me what happened, because Cindy can't keep her mouth shut." "It's like I've become his mother and he's become my child." "Come on, let's get you to bed." "After you're at Victor's for a week or two, we'll work something out." "Things are just so hectic around here, you know." "Take care of yourself." "No, we're fine." "You have a fine husband." "Be a good wife to him." "Alright, bye Dad." "Say hi to Victor." "Lock the door, okay?" "What did Victor say when you called?" "What did Victor say when you called?" "I didn't call Victor." "Hello Connie." "Jaime?" "How are you?" "I need to move back." "It doesn't matter." "I didn't have papers when I started here, either." "Just do your quota and shut up and they'll be happy." "Here." "I used to wear these when I first... started, but I don't even bother with'em now." "Slide it through from left to right like this." "The other side is just the same." "Okay, your turn." "Perfect." "You were born for this work." "What's all this?" "Happy Birthday, Jaime." "How old are you, ninety-six?" "Ninety-five." "Jaime, I didn't get you any presents." "We didn't always get gifts when I was a kid, but we always had fun." "There would be thirty or forty people there, cooking and singing and dancing." "This is nice, too." "I lied..." "Your old one was worn out." "Thank you, Lupe." "You shouldn't have to live out here with an old man." "Luis?" "Luis, I'm sorry I missed you." "Please call back if you get this." "Luis?" "I thought you would have given up on me." "You didn't give up?" "Did you get what I sent?" "Don't send any more money, we're fine." "Did you get my letters?" "The paper stinks of old maid." "You wanna hear the news?" "Sure." "Maybe you aren't interested." "Just tell me!" "They said I can take a week off." "I missed you too much." "If you and I had been the same age." "I'm sure we'd have been good friends." "And there might be something there for you, too." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm going." "What was that about?" "I have a good job now." "I sold my bike for that truck." "I'm happy for you." "So I want you to come with me to El Paso." "Marry me." "That's why I came." "I wanted you to visit, but..." "Then say yes." "You really think people can start over?" "If you want to, and you trust me." "How's it going?" "Wait." "Tell her I want her to." "You know I want to stay with Jaime." "But he wants you to marry me." "No, he doesn't." "You don't know me anyway." "I'm jealous, and selfish." "I don't mind." "Please, you just got here." "Let's not talk about it right now, okay?" "But it's natural." "It's..." "Why should we keep writing if it's not going anywhere?" "Please don't." "I have to check into the hotel." "You didn't have any problems marrying Manuel." "That was different." "And?" "I was pregnant at seventeen, Luis." "I loved Manuel, but..." "That's the reason I married him." "I had a miscarriage." "We never told anyone." "I don't even know if I can have children." "Have you told that boy what he wants to hear yet?" "I'm happy the way things are." "I've taken advantage of your kindness too long." "We can't stay like this forever." "Who would take care of you?" "You'd be helpless, eating burnt rice every night." "I'm serious." "You can't make this sacrifice to help me, especially when I don't need help." "You'll regret it." "Do you regret the sacrifice you made for your mother?" "That was different." "You're not my daughter." "Sit down, Lupe." "You know we're family." "No." "No we're not." "I wouldn't be losing you." "I'd be gaining a son." "Looks like a thunderstorm's rolling in." "Should we go tonight?" "Yeah... maybe." "Well if we went tomorrow, could you give me a ride?" "Of course." "Maybe you should bring a suit." "Just in case." "Oh... alright." "I don't want to think about putting him in a home..." "But if he can't take care of himself... it would probably be the best thing for him." "Dad shouldn't be living like this." "I've been a terrible daughter to him." "Jaime." "What are you doing?" "Sit." " Dad, sit down." "Don't feel sorry for me." "I was able to spend time with my children in their new homes." "Dad, you need to lie down." "Mr. Esparza, please." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "Jason made regional VP so there's nothing for you to worry about." "I don't want you doing anything from now on." "I think I'll stay tonight and take the bus back tomorrow." "Can you take Gabe home for me?" "Sure." "What's with the suit?" "I have an interview tomorrow, so I can just go straight there." "Can we stop to see Mom and Manuel?" "I know a lot of people here." "There's already moss on her stone." "Maria's like a dream to me now." "I don't want my memories of her to slip away like Manuel's." "Today was the first time I've been to his grave since I met Luis." "I never thought I'd become like this." "Everyone becomes like that." "It's necessary." "It was good of Luis to stay at the hospital on his vacation." "He told me how much he cares for you, and I can tell you're in love with him, too." "Not love." "I just feel I can trust him." "No, you're in love." "Lupe, no one will think you're betraying Manuel if you remarry." "Luis said they'd have room for you in El Paso." "If they marry would you go?" "No one's getting married." "We'll see, we'll see." "I'm tired, Dad." "Make sure to wake me by 8 o'clock tomorrow so I can make the bus." "You can go back in the afternoon." "Or Thursday." "I've got too much going on." "Listen, son..." "It was good to have you here." "See you tomorrow, Dad." "Where's Lupe?" "She left for work." "What time is it?" "Why didn't you wake me?" "I'll miss the bus." "You'll have to drive me." "In that truck out back?" "It won't run." "Goddamnit." "You're living like an animal out here." "Dad?" "Too late?" "I'll catch the four o'clock." "Now I'm starving from running." "What were you fixing earlier?" "Oh, nothing you'd like." "Just nopalitos." "Anything sounds good." "Let me heat it up." "It's only got four ingredients." "You want some chiles in it?" "Sure." "Start cutting these and I'll heat more tortillas." "Is that small enough?" "However you want it." "Maria used to cut'em too small, but I like it chunky." "The chiles made my fingers burn." "That's how you know they're hot." "So you cook this a lot?" "Lately, yeah." "It's easy to make by yourself." "My dad used to have it all the time." "Here, let me clean a fork for you." "It's better than the place I took Andrea for our anniversary." "I should have visited more often." "We could have made an effort to visit you, too." "I want you to know I appreciate the sacrifices you made for us, even if it didn't all pan out." "Are you disappointed in your life?" "Then I'm happy." "It's good." "I should go." "We might not see each other again." "Please don't say that." "I'll come back soon." "What are you thinking about?" "You seem upset." "Then you should cheer me up." "Sometimes when you seem upset." "I think maybe you know something I don't know, so maybe I should be upset, too." "You're ridiculous." "I'm going to marry Luis." "But not because you want me to." "I just feel he would make me happy." "We decided to have a small ceremony this weekend, with only you and his parents." "I've lost touch with most of my old friends anyway." "I think I prefer it this way." "You should be smiling when you talk about it." "If you're happy, show it!" "Come on!" "You'll come with us, won't you?" "I'll always remember today." "I've been selfish." "You have to come with us to El Paso." "I've had my life." "It's time to start your own life." "Come on, Jaime." "You'll soon forget these feelings." "I can't leave you here alone." "I'll miss you but it can't be helped." "Life can be disappointing... even in the best times." "Listen." "It builds like that sometimes." "I wonder why." "You have a big day tomorrow and a long drive tomorrow night." "Perfect." "We'll try a slightly different one." "Sir, if you could turn your shoulder to the right." "Perfect." "But we need to keep the other shoulder where it was, alrighty." "Perfect." "I'm gonna slap her if she says 'Perfect' again." "Ma'am if you could bring your chin down." "You better be a good wife." "Luis you let me know if she's a problem." "Beautiful." "Here, let me step out so you can get one with just family." "There isn't much of a family left, but I'll be glad to have the picture." "I wish Maria could have seen you." " Okay, stay just like that." "You scratching fleas?" "I'm so sorry." "Behave." "We have to be there in twenty minutes." "She'll make a beautiful bride." "You dressed for a funeral?" "There's been a lot lately." "So did Victor teach you all about computer stuff?" "But his family's living well?" "He probably drives an SUV?" "And Juana told me Lupe was getting married." "This morning." "They left town this afternoon." "Give her my best, will you." "We should get together more now... that we're in the same boat." "Looks like another hot one, no?" "Sure does." "But it's always cool inside." "Can I help you with anything?" "Oh, no." "Okay." "You have a good one." "I forgot the guitar." "Don't get up." "I'll just be a second." "I thought you'd be in Corpus by now." "Enjoying the show?" "Yeah, but the music's not as good as it used to be." "We'll visit in a couple of weeks." "Luis doesn't mind the drive." "And I'm still worried about your heart." "I won't die so easily." "I've got lots left to do with my life." "Thank you for everything." "We already said goodbye."
