"We deliver fresh orange juice straight to your door." " Hey, baby!" " Creep!" "Bye, gorgeous." " You're going to the phone?" " Sure." " It's Sunday." " See you later." " Wanna buy?" " No, thanks." "Gum, gum for a peso!" "Chewing gum..." "Yeah, I saw her yesterday at home." "Same time, of course." "We'll take a cab." "Sure." " Carlitos?" " Mommy!" "Happy birthday, sweetie!" "Maybe I should start calling you Carlos." "Granny says I'll have a mustache soon." " I'm nine." " Did you get the gift I sent you?" "I've got them on." " There's something else coming, okay?" " What is it?" " You'll see, at your party." " I'm ready to go to L.A., Mommy." " I know, baby." " I speak good English now." "I'm working very hard so you can come soon." "You always say that." "I know, but it won't be long now, okay?" "Not long..." "But when?" "I don't know, sweetheart." "It's so hard to get papers." "And you know how the other lawyer robbed us." "If I can't go there, then you come back here." "Four years is too long." "You need anything, sweetie?" "You." "Tell me where you're standing." "I'm" "You know already." "Tell me anyway." "Okay, I'm standing at a phone booth by the bus stop." "Is the pizza place still there?" "Yeah." "It's here." "And there's a Laundromat where I wash my clothes every week." "They even know me by name." " Really?" " Can you believe it?" " You know what else is here?" " What?" " A store that sells party stuff." " Where the mural is?" "Yes, there." "That's where I'll buy the stuff... for all the parties I'm gonna throw for you..." " Carlitos..." "I love you with all my heart." "I love you more than all the earth and all the sea." "And all the stars and all the sky." "Will you call me next Sunday, Mommy?" "Of course I will, sweetie." "10:00 a. m. sharp like every Sunday, okay?" "I love you so much." "Enjoy all your" "You're so sweet." "Thanks for coming." "Leave the girl alone "Compadre"." "What a flirt." " Look." " Is that it?" " Uh-huh." " Wow." "Hey, Chito!" "How cool is that?" " It's awesome!" " That's one big piñata." "Yeah, my mom sent Granny extra money to buy it for me." "You deserve it, son." "Carlitos, get my medicine please." "Ugh." "Why are they here?" "Those sons of" " Good afternoon." " Hello." " How you doin', Benita?" " Fine." "Came by to give the boy a hug." " We're so fond of him." " Is that so?" "Well, we're gonna go put the candles on the cake." " Got any matches?" " By the grill, if there's any." "Excuse us." "Don't let them get to you." "It's bad for your health." "What's up, Carlitos?" "Give me five." " Happy birthday, kiddo." " Thanks." "No, no." "Hold it!" "You thought about what I said?" "C'mon, Carlitos!" "My granny is gonna get better." "Your granny is very sick... and who knows when your mother's coming back." "Someone has to take care of you." "My granny takes good care of me." "Besides, what do you care?" " Leave him alone." " No." "It's what we're here for." "Besides, he's old enough to know the truth." "Not now, Manuel." "It's his party." "Look, Carlitos." "Josefina and I are your aunt and uncle." "Neighbors." "Not family." "Your dad is my brother." " I don't have a dad." " Yes, you do!" "His name is Oscar." "He lives in the U.S. in a city called Tucson." "Go outside, son." "Hurry, Carlitos!" "Carlitos, Carlitos!" "You're up!" "Oh, so now we're family?" "If I remember, you all denied your brother was his father." "That was a long time ago, Benita." "I'm too old for this bullshit." "I know exactly what this is about... and it's got nothing to do with Carlitos." "I guess you don't know about the $300..." "Rosario sends every month, right?" "Get out!" "Hit it, hit it, hit it Careful with your aim" " Come on!" " Manuel" " Because if you lose it, you will lose your way" "Now you hit it once now you hit it twice" "Now you hit it three times and your time is up#" "Did you enjoy your party?" "Did you like your gifts?" "If you don't want to talk, we won't talk." "Why didn't you tell me about my dad?" "Your mother was going to tell you when you got a little older." " Is it true what Manuel said?" " What did he say?" "That Mom won't be back any time soon." "Is she coming back or not?" "Don't cry." "Carlitos, you are a Reyes... and we Reyes are strong." "Come here." "Promise me you won't let them take me away from you!" "I'd kill them first!" "We're back... with a new program and it's a pleasure." "Good morning!" "Time to get up if this is your alarm." " Up, up, up!" " Are you up?" "You have to go to work, man!" "For those of us who came to the U.S. to work!" "Work!" "Work to make ends meet!" " So how did the dress turn out?" " The girl was happy." " How much did her parents pay you?" " $53 dollars..." "With that I have about $2,000- 2,300 more or less." "The new lawyer said he would take your case for $4,000, right?" "Yes." "So you've only got about... 48 more dresses to go." "Yeah." "What's the matter?" "What did I say now?" "We should just get a couple of" gringos" to marry us." "It'd be cheaper and faster." "Oh, God." "You'd never do it, would you?" "I've done a lot of stupid things in my life." "I don't want to do another one." "More fun with Cucuy de la Mañana!" "In the news, California's Governor Arnold Chuarche..." "That guy... decided to veto once again... a bill that would have allowed more than two and a half million..." ""undocumented" to drive freely." "The Governor of California insisted he would not pass a law... that threatened public safety." "Well, he is a threat to us!" "Isn't it true?" "What's it to him?" "He's an immigrant who... came here from farther away than we did!" " Which makes him a jerk!" " A turkey!" "Man, I'm telling you." "Don't run into him." "He might run over you with his bike!" "Hi." "We missed you yesterday." " You two have a nice day." " Thanks." " Bye." " Bye." "You're such a fool." "Don't start with that again!" "What's the matter with you?" "Paco is a great guy." "He's got a good job and he likes you." "What more do you want?" "Your life doesn't have to stop because your son isn't here." "I mean, we're screwed, but we're not dead!" "That's not it." "Besides, you party enough for both of us." "Wait a second." "I'm just looking for Mr. Right." "There's nothing wrong with that!" "And so should you." "Loosen up, tight-ass!" " How's it going?" " Good." "Whoa!" "Are those new?" "Yeah, my mom sent them for my birthday." "Man, you're so lucky to have a mom... who buys you such cool stuff!" "I know." "Come on, let's go." " How did it go yesterday?" " Good, I sold lots of gum." " Coming to the wrestling match?" " Nah!" "Gotta work." "Are all three of you crossing?" "God has set us on this path." " A truck is leaving at 11:00." " Tonight?" "What's the problem?" "No, no problem." "It's just we didn't think it would be so soon." " So, who's driving?" " What the hell do you care?" "Look, honey." "You've got two choices." "You either get on that truck or you swim across... and see if you make it." "Good afternoon." "Doña Carmen, if you don't mind." "From the United States." " They wanna know" " I understood!" "Tell them to go to hell!" "Did we understand?" "Damn Chicanos, can't even speak their own language!" "They think they're better than us just because... they were born on the " other side"?" "You've used Chicanos to take babies to their mothers." "Yeah, ones I know, not strangers." "Besides, those are two very green mangoes." "And with those scared faces... the "Migra" will spot them a mile away." "So... do we have a deal?" "Okay, let's go." "So, it'll be $2,000 to get you across... or $2,500 if you also want job contacts." "All right, Carlitos... tell me what you want for your birthday." "The same thing I wanted last year, and for Children's Day..." " Three Kings Day and Easter." " I know where you're going with this!" "You want me to get you across." "But I won't." "Are you crazy?" "You have no idea how dangerous it is!" " I have money." " I don't pay you that much." "Been saving some of the money my mom sends every month." " I've got $1,200." " How much?" " $1,200." " Wow, that's a lot." "I'm supposed to be the businesswoman here!" " You could give me a discount." " No, no, no." "I promised your mother and your grandmother..." "I would never get you across." "If they found out you're even working for me, they'd pull my hair out." "You're nuts." "No way." "Granny... do you want tea or hot chocolate?" "Granny." "Granny, don't pretend you're still asleep." "Granny." "Granny!" "Wake up." "Granny?" "Granny?" "Granny." "Wake up, Granny." "Please!" "Please, no!" "Please, no." "Please, no!" "For Chito." "My godfather will take care of you." "I'm gonna go find my mom before she forgets about me." "Help me get there before Sunday so she won't worry." "I'll miss you so much, Granny." "How was Cruella De Vil today?" "Same as always." "Poor woman." "With a husband like that." "Yeah." "You're going to the Snyders' now?" "Yeah, I have to pick Tommy up at school." "What you got there?" "A study guide for the citizenship exam." "If the lawyer works out, I'll have to take it." "I don't know any U.S. history though." "It's easy." "First they screwed the poor Indians." "Then they screwed the slaves." " And now they're screwing us Mexicans!" " Amen!" "Ah, here's my date." "Wait." "Wait." "He's trying to be a rapper, needs to look like one." "Very convincing." "Well, I'm off." "See you at home." " Be careful." " Yeah." "I'm gonna get going." " Say hi to Tommy." " Okay." "Mexico/U.S. Border 2 Km." "Quiet!" "We are almost there, okay?" "Our Father, Who art in heaven..." "Hallowed be Thy Name as we forgive those who trespass against us." "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "#There was a little ant" "Looking for a home" "#And here it is#" "Time to go to sleep, okay?" " What are you doing here?" " Alicia said you were working late." "Come on." "I'll take you home." "You should just date Alicia." "She's a lot more fun." "Ain't that the truth!" "But I've always liked the quiet ones." "So, are you coming?" "Or should I walk you home?" "Okay, fine." "I know I said I liked them quiet... but not mute!" "Are you thinking about your son?" "What you're doing takes courage, Rosario." "The last time I talked to him, he sounded angry." "I don't want him to grow up with that anger." "It's just..." "I'm hurting him more by being here, away from him." "He doesn't know why I left." "He only knows I left him." "That's why I want to be with my son." "Right now." "So, what are you waiting for?" "But how?" "Well, do what people do here." "I'm legal now." "I've got papers and everything." " What are you doing, Güerro?" " Mind your own business, Reina." " I'm not goin'" " C'mon, c'mon, get outta here!" " I'm not goin' anywhere." " Move, you idiot!" " Reina!" " I said move!" "And you get the hell out of here!" "You're all messed up!" "But I do know you!" "You son of a bitch!" "Here, here." " That's not a hundred" " Go get high as a kite!" "Jerk!" "Reina, you're such a busybody!" "You okay?" "Careful with your green cards." "And the maps I gave you." "Okay?" " You guys are set." " Thank you, Doña Carmen." "What are you doing with Carlitos's Walkman?" "What's it to you?" "I gave it to him, that's why I'm asking." " He left it for me." " What do you mean left it?" "His grandma died, so he went looking for his mother." "He crossed over." "Five... six... seven... eight... nine, ten... eleven!" "So, are you going to take me to the bus?" "Not a chance!" "Not after what happened this afternoon." "You're too young to travel alone." "It's just..." "I have to be there by Sunday morning." "Well, then we'll have to think of something." " Where are you, Doñita?" " Hello!" " Good afternoon." " Afternoon, Mrs. Reina." "Hello." "Who are they?" "Illegals, like you." "Watch out." "The main man has arrived!" "What smells so good, Reina?" "Meatballs!" "¡Caray!" "And who are you?" "Carlos Reyes, at your service." "Leonardo Sanchez Nava, nice meeting you too, buddy." "Your tenants are getting younger every day." "Wash your hands!" " Go on, dirty bastards." " Help me set the table." "Come on." "Do we look like the seven dwarfs to you?" "Damn, this is good!" "And it'd be even better with a beer." " Yeah, a cold one." " Hey!" "Don't get Reina mad." "You know the rules." "No booze." "We just gotta take it..." "like men." "Unless... my "Chivas" are playing against "America"!" "There you have it." "Cheers!" "Move back, move back!" " Let me see!" " Watch it there!" " There he goes!" " Shoot, shoot!" "Goal!" "...a classic!" "The "Chivas" score!" "You thought they'd beat us!" "A fluke, buddy." "Just a fluke." "The meatballs!" " That's who we're picking up." " Them?" " Who's this?" " We're taking him to L.A." " We still got three jobs to do!" " So he'll come with us." "To the fields?" " Are you kidding me?" " Do I sound like I'm kidding?" " Then you're being stupid!" " Okay, let's get going!" "If you don't like it, get another ride." "C'mon!" "Okay, move over." "Make room, buddy." "Watch it!" " Watch it!" "Cool it!" " Move the backpack."

" Rosario isn't with you?" " I'm traveling alone." " How long has she been in L.A.?" " Four years." " Four years?" "That's a long time to be away, isn't it?" "Not as long as you." "I'd never even met you." "But, if you take me to L.A... maybe you and Mom can make up." "She would never forgive me." "I think she would." "I know I would." "You look a lot like your mom." "Rosario and I were unstoppable." "We used to get along really well." "So?" "Will you take me?" "Yes." "Are you excited to tell Carlitos the good news?" "Yeah." "Stop requested." "Wow." "Only you would plan a wedding in two days." "Well, if I'm going to do it, it might as well be quick." "Before I change my mind." "Give him a little longer." "He'll show up." "Okay?" "Hey, hey." "It's okay." "Calm down." "Why don't my parents want to be with me?" "You know what?" "You're right." "Take me to the police station so they'll send me back." "Is that her?" "Let me see." " She's pretty." " What good is that?" "I never see her." "Wait a minute!" "I know you're pissed off, but don't take it out on her." "You can't blame her for what your dad did." "You mother loves you, Carlitos, a lot." " Then why did she go so far away?" " What do you mean, " why"?" "So you could have a better life." "You ungrateful brat!" "Tell me how you've liked these past few days." "You liked picking tomatoes?" "Hiding from the I.N.S.?" "Eh?" "Or washing dishes just for a meal and a place to sleep?" "No one chooses to live this way, Carlitos, unless they've got a good reason." "I'm sure that for her, you're that reason!" "Give it back!" "What?" "She's not that hot." "Got one in a bathing suit?" " Damn!" " What?" " That's it." "We're screwed!" " Why?" "Because that's not an address, Carlitos!" "That's the address my mom puts on all her letters!" "It's a P.O. box." "Don't you see all the little boxes?" "A lot of people use them so the I.N.S. can't find them." "Understand?" "Look, kid." "Unless you've got a phone number or a real address..." "I've got no place to take you." " I know." "I got it!" " What?" "Mom calls me from a pay phone." "We could wait for her there!" "She has to call me tomorrow morning." "Sure!" "Of course!" "There're only a couple pay phones in all of L.A., so piece of cake!" "Do you have any idea where that pay phone is?" "Right here." "In East L.A." "There's a corner..." "with a Domino's pizza... a bus stop, a Laundromat... a party store and a mural!" "We could" " You're nuts, kid, you know that?" " Come on!" "Let's go!" "There!" "The bus stop, the mural, the phone." " And the pizza place?" " There it is!" "It's not a Domino's." "Come on." "Look." "A Laundromat... a mural." "And look, a phone booth and... another mural." " Huh?" " And the pizzeria?" "Let's keep looking." "Excuse me, is there a Laundromat around here?" "I don't know about you, but I'm beat." "My dogs are barking." "Once more." "Please." "Okay, then." "Look, a phone booth and another one of those murals." "It's not here." "I just asked." "Those two are taking too long in there." " Hmm." " Maybe they just couldn't wait for dessert!" "It's just that" "I thought I could go through with it... but I can't, Paco." "I can't." "I'm going back home... with my son." "I'm so sorry." "You know" "I don't see why we can't go on with the party." "Nobody died here." "Let's have" "Let's have a going away party for a wonderful woman." "Paco." "Don't be sad." "It'll be a nice party for you." "C'mon, let's have some fun." "Paco." "My album Carlos Reyes." "Carlitos." "My little boy, where are you?" "Mom's jobs." "So you couldn't go through with it, huh?" "Who would've thought?" "Rosario, a romantic!" " It's not that." " Then what?" "I just think if you're gonna get married, it should be for love, right?" "And that's not being a romantic?" "Well, romantic or not..." "I'm glad I'm going back." "And you know what?" "I'll be there when Carlitos gets a mustache." "I like this song a lot." "I love it!" "Be right back." " Don't you love this song?" " Yeah." "Wanna dance?" "Don't know." "That's okay." "I do." "Just hold on to me and follow my lead." "Yes?" "Come on." "Try it." "Let's go." "Just relax and feel the music." " Very good." "Not bad." " Really?" "How's that?" "Hey!" "You fooled me." "Why did you do that?" "You dance really well." "Like a dance teacher." "I've been looking for you for 3 days." " I didn't know where to reach you." " How could this happen?" "He was afraid Josefina and Manuel would take him." " Why would he think that?" " Look, Rosario." "Your mother passed away." "What?" "When?" "Last Tuesday." "She died in her sleep." "Your godfather took care of everything... so don't worry about that right now." "Look, Carmela, if you had anything to do with this, I swear to you" "How can you think I would ever smuggle your son across?" "Look, Rosario." "Please listen to me." "I beg you, stay right there." "How can I just stay here and not do anything?" "I have all my contacts at the border looking for him, but nobody's seen him." "He must be on his way there!" " Or something happened to him." " Don't say that." "God forbid!" "Please, Rosario, give me a few hours." "Okay, Carmela." "My little boy!" "Can I tell you a secret?" "Another one?" "I don't think so." "Remember what happened when you told me about your dad?" "You said people change." "When I came on this trip..." "I thought my mom didn't love me anymore." "But I was wrong." "Thanks for everything, Enrique." "We'll never find my mom, will we?" "What do you mean?" "Of course we will!" "I didn't come all this way to give up now." " At what time does she call you?" " 10:00 a. m. sharp." "So we get up early and keep looking." " Before dawn?" " Sure." "Now, go to sleep." "I can't sit around any longer." "It's been hours, and she hasn't called." "Paco, can you check the bus schedule?" "Are you sure you want to leave?" "He's more likely to make it back to Mexico than here." "Fine." "Paco, Carlitos is really smart." "He might make it." "I don't think Rosario is thinking things through." "I'm not?" "I'm not, huh?" "Let's just suppose the I.N.S. got him and sent him back to Mexico." "Who the hell is gonna take care of him with my mother dead?" "Or let's suppose that... he got across the border and made it here." "Where the hell is he gonna go?" "He doesn't even have our address." "Tell me." "Huh?" "You're right." "I'm sorry." "No, I'm sorry." "Forgive me." "I'll be leaving now." "I want you to have this." "I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too." "Run!" "Mama!" "Mama!" " Mommy!" " Carlitos!" "No, no." "Don't cross!" " Mom!" " Carlitos!" "Mom." "I'm here!" "Sweetheart."
