"Damn Genaro." "This hotel has so much food." " What did you put on your plate?" " Mashed plantains." "Mashed plantains?" "Mashed plantains?" "Look at this, a plantain eating a plantain." "You dumb ass." "You come so far to eat that?" "I don't care for cornflakes." "Get used to it." "Mashed plantains." "You got balls." "Genaro." "Talk to me about the girl." "Which one?" "The American?" "Tell me about her, tell me." "What should I tell you?" "You know how they look." " They're blonde?" " So they got golden hair?" " Sure, and they speak English." " And they know English." "And they got a killer body." "Sure, that they got, a killer body." "Talk to me." "I like women with that kind of body." "You know, the metabolism of Americans is different." "They lose their figure with a couple of extra pounds." "I mean from far you see they look kind of fat." "And up close you don't even notice." "Wait a minute, how's that?" "Explain that to me." "You know Americans and their eating habits." " They eat anything and..." " Stop, I got you now." " Carlito." " Yes?" "Drop the mashed." "Something's fishy here." "The table is busy, go somewhere else..." "They're deaf." "They can't hear." "Listen, don't sit down..." "They can't hear." "Listen, we're waiting for beautiful women here." "We're waiting for three American women." "What are you trying to say?" "These are the Americans I told you about." "This group?" " All of them?" " All three?" "I got you now." "Mr. Genaro, come with me to the buffet." "I don't want anymore food." "I'm fine here." "Mr. Genaro, get up." "Would you want a little fruit or some grease?" "Come here, come here." "Are you nuts?" "Where did you get the fat one and the old lady?" "Calm down, it's not so bad." " Look at the young one, she's cute." " I know she's cute." " Yes, I like her." "What's her name?" " Martha." " Martha, I like her." " Me too." "She's mine." "Yours?" "What about the other two?" "Those I need a hand with." "Her aunts." "Her aunts?" "If those are her aunts, they take the place of the whole family." "No way." "If Carlito wants to stay..." "Look at that pig the way he eats." "Sure, it's free food." "Free food, and look at him." "He likes the fat one." "I knew it right away." "No." "I'm going back to the capital." "My reputation would be shattered if anybody saw me." "Chelo!" " Calm down." " You see him?" "It's just coincidence, who's gonna recognize you here?" " It isn't." "I'm going back." " Wait, this is the deal." "Help me out and I'll forgive your salami debt." "And the three grand?" " Don't take advantage." " I'm going back." "Alright, alright, the three grand." "The three grand?" "Done deal." "You know what though." "Don't do this again, alright?" " You don't do that to nobody." " Relax, change that face." "To the table." "Here we are my little angels." "Sure they're a pain in the ass." "I grew up with them." " I'm out of here." " No wait, there's enough for us three." "They will show around, show you a good time." "If you want, we'll show them how to float on the beach." "Then we can practice with Juana." " Who's Juana?" " You brought her over?" "Sure, you pay in dollars here." "What if something goes wrong?" " Do you need her?" " Are you nuts?" "Lend it to me, I'll use it." "Well, well, as I said, go for a stroll." "For a stroll, and my boys will make sure you have a good time." "While I take a walk with little Martha." "Alright." "You show her how to float, and I'll show her coconut trees." "Coconut trees!" "No coconut trees for the Americans." "No trees." "Have a good time alright." "Coconut tree blondie, well you go in and..." "I'll explain later." "I'm using the restroom." "Hold it." "This is in couples." "American girl." "We're finally alone." "Without guitar trios, Merengue trios or your aunts..." "I mean they're cool." "But one needs time to have a talk." "So, you, the flowers and I." "And you're the most beautiful one." "Hold on." "We got to celebrate." "Let's party." "Look at this." "We have fun with little things." "Your aunts must be having a great time with my boys." "I forgot you can't understand me." "My mom was right, she said don't drop English, don't." "How about you?" "Are you having a good time?" "I mean..." "How nice that sounds." "You only hear that in adult films, yes, yes..." "Don't tell me." "That means thank you." "See." "I knew I would learn some day." "English is a piece of cake." "Why?" "I mean what..." "Because I feel very happy." "My little American now knows Spanish and all." "I'm responsible for it." "Alright." "Let's not stop." "We're gonna dance the night away." " Discotheque?" " Sure, to shake it like a papaya smoothie..." "Dancing, move our hips." " To party." " We'll party till fifteen in the morning." "Oh my!" "I'm in the big apple already." " Listen." " What?" "Isn't enough with what I did today with the old one?" "My debt is paid." "Let me go back home." "No way." "I took the first step." "Victory is mine." "And more so now that there was a kiss." " What?" " What?" "You heard right." "The American girl kissed me." "Oh my God!" "Damn she got balls." "What guts." "What are you insinuating." "Nothing..." "Brat Pitt." "Nothing, you are the..." "Look." "Speaking of the devil." "There's big cojones Martha, the crazy old lady and Carlito's truck." "That's what I'm talking about!" "Girls!" "Talking about what?" "Why can't I bump into a friend... so I can borrow some dough and pay Genaro back his money?" "I wish to bump into a neighborhood friend with money!" "I love that record!" "Let go of me." "I'm leaving the hotel." "Let go of me." " She wants to..." " What happened?" " The old one wanted to poison me." " What?" "Yes, she kissed me." "I thought you saw that?" "She did." "Out of my way, must go to the toilet." " You're exaggerating, yes you are." " I'm not, you are." "One thing is that you bring me here to help you out, and another is that you humiliate me so bad." "Keep your New York pipe dreams, I'm going back home." "To be honest with you..." "Shut up!" "Do you think I'm blind?" "You're having a ball." "Carlito, you like the hippo, I see it in your eyes." "Your capable of eating an elephant two dinosaurs and still be hungry." "Not me." "I going back home," "I can't stomach even one aunt." "Not even half an aunt." "Guys, we grew up together, we're like blood brothers." "This is serious." "It's about my future and my family's." "If it depends on that lame American..." "American, you hear me..." "I sweet talked her as expected, if then she falls for me..." "You got no other choice, or pay me back with tax and interest." "Well put." "Shut your mouth, you ass kisser!" " But Genaro..." " No ifs and buts, I'm sacrificing too." "Did you hear him?" "I'm the one sacrificing here." "Hold it, wait." "I was forgetting." "They better have a great time." "Because if they don't and you mess up my future..." "I would do this to you make sure they have a great time..." "What about me?" "Don't I have the right to a good time?" " Let me tell you something." " What?" "I'll be outside." "Beat it." "You coward, traitor, I brought you here..." "I can't believe this, I can't believe this my God!" "Instead of dealing with that hag..." "I rather get down and dirty with anything in this planet." "Guys, wait up!" "There's no one there." "What was that?" " What, what?" " You let one go." "You dirty bastard." "What else you want, we've been in here a half hour." "Guard, guard." " Hi there sister." " Hello commando." "I can't take this anymore." "I thought she wanted to kill me, but it's you instead." " What's the matter guys?" " None." "Look I'm pretty." "This is serious." "I'll beat you down if you leave." " You're all macho now." " Let's go." "This is the moment of truth." "Separate the men from the boys." "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." "Let's all march as one man." "Let's go Carlito, Chelo." "Walk tall." "Victory is ours partners." "I knew it, bunch of traitors." "But history will take care of them." "Great mattress ha?" "Must be imported." "It even plays music." "Americans are so smart." "Tonight will be intense." "No wait." "Let me go." "Let me go, you fierce animal." "No, no, no." "Let me take a breather." "Let me take a breather." "What do you think I am?" "Just because you watched Robocop, you think we're made of steel?" "I'm human, I'm human." "Fight someone your own size." "Let me get at least sip of water." "Jesus." "You mean, you're just getting warmed up?" "Oh my!" "No rum." "That'll just re-energize you." "Move over." "Oh my, I need my dictionary." "You respect that part of a man." "Move over." "Let's nap." "Gringa, don't make wood of a fallen tree." "Well, she doesn't get it." "My love." "My heart, my queen." "My visa, I mean my life..." "I talked to mom; we're off to the capital." "Pull over, stop the car!" "Listen up." "Drop me at the corner let me off." "I don't want to be seen." "Wait a minute." "What is that?" "Who came up with that?" "Go back, go back." "Americans girls, this is my neighborhood." "Welcome to my country." "Don't worry." "I'll get you back for this." "The flight has landed." "My son." "Mom." "Where's the woman that's got you going crazy?" " Is that her?" " Yes, it's her." "No, she is Chelo's girl." " Here is mine." " Now you ruined it." "How pretty..." "Genaro!" "If plan be part of this family, you have my blessings." "Talk American!" "Speech, speech..." "Time out!" "She said hi." "Come so you could me my family." "Come my daughter, come with me." " Damn Chelo, you got balls." " What are you saying?" "Let go of me Carlito." "She's aunt Antonia." " Maria the tailor's wife." " Nice to meet you." " He is the tailor." " My pleasure." "Clothing..." "She's Orquidea." "She's Genaro's Godmother, my comadre." "She's a bit deaf." "Comadre, she's my American daughter in law, Genaro's girl." " My daughter in law." " Sorry." "We've got go back to Chavon..." "You're not eating?" "I think we really overdid it this time." " Don't worry." " Please don't go..." " We'll be back before our trip." " Go with God." "Let's brake out." "Get your balloon and let's go." "Listen up Genaro, she's very pretty." "But if you will be unhappy with her, let her leave." "Mom!" "Alright..." "My blessings." "My God bless you." "Stop, don't push me." "Let's go, let's go..." "Wake up." "I'm tired of this entire charade." "Let's go." "If anyone wants soup, just say so." "Guys, we're off to Chavón!" "Alright, alright..." "Ladies and gentlemen." "I would like to dedicate this concert to a friend of ours." "A friend who grew up with us in the neighborhood." "And his name is..." "Genaro!" "Genaro, this is for you, alright." "Excuse me, excuse me." "Henry, my brother!" "Let him through..." "This girl is dying to know you." "Caramba, you thought we weren't going to make it?" "Here we are." "Who's this blonde?" "She's my girl, future mother of my kids." "I told her we're pals and she wants an autograph." "Sure." "On her back." "No humps there and your writing will come out fine." "I can't trust you guys with her." "We won't take more of your time." "We have to go, remember..." "When you come back, bring me those sneakers with lights on them, say hi to the boys, and take good care." "What?" "Problems?" "Country?" "That means abroad!" "Let me see if I understand." "You and I go abroad?" "You know I haven't settled my business with nobody." "The store, my friends, my mom." "No problem." "No problem." "Take a shower while I eat." "Oh my!" "I'm going abroad." "Look at this." "A guy like me, continental breakfast and all." "I would kill anyone who mentions my neighborhood." "May speak to the director please?" "Sure, make fun of me." "Make fun." "I don't care, I'm leaving this country." "Listen." "No, you listen." "I'm tired of power outages, the MTA, politicians, including the cardinal..." "I'm tired of our penal code, the potholes in the street, mashed plantains, cheap sandwiches, flour fritters pork skin, the subway, no I didn't mean the subway, cause where I'm going there's one." "But I'm tired of the Dengue, of everyone, I'm tired of the board of elections..." " What?" "What do you want?" " Genaro, her boyfriend is here." "Who's boyfriend?" "Her boyfriend, a tall, strong, blonde guy asking about his girlfriend Martha." "Asking for Martha?" "You must have many Marthas in the hotel." "And her aunts Dorothy and Helen." "He means my girl." " Are you sure?" " He must be getting there." "Oh, no." "Room service." "How are you?" "Is everything alright?" "We're here to serve you." "What a nice breakfast." "Original Neiba grapes." "Remember we could change whatever you like." "The curtains, the pictures, the lamp, the TV..." "Remember we got cable TV, national and international reception, including La Mona Channel." "We're just interested in your comfort in this country." "So you sir, take care of your prostate through regular check ups." "And you miss eight glasses of water a day to keep your youthful appearance..." "Open up Chelo." "Open up." "Quiet down Genaro, we're trying to sleep guy." "Open up, I'll explain inside." "I'm in deep shit and you disappear." "What hole do you crawl into?" "I'm here resting." "It's my only downtime, my sleep time." "And you come over..." "It's not what you're thinking." "I'm just paying you back the salami, period." "Alright." "Let's go, we got to get out of here..." "Why now?" "Why?" "Degenerate." "Let go of me Genaro!" "First you want, now you don't." "I don't get you." "You're just a party pooper, I'm going back." "I know what I'm saying Chelo, come on." "Look out!" "Keep an eye out for him." "Chelo keep an eye on the door." "They're all sick." "I told you this one had good appetite." "Check the door." "Put on your clothes, we got problems." "You do." "I'm fine here." "Look, we got problems period." "Look..." "What's up?" "The consul just arrived to stamp his passport." " Stop playing!" " Who arrived?" "Her boyfriend wants to kill me." "Get dressed, bring Juana and let's talk to Giuseppe." "You see, his in trouble." " What's this?" " I'll tell you later, let's go." "This is getting better." "My skinny one, I'll be back." "Coming." "Something's brewing Gernaro." " And he won't like the taste." " Stop playing guys." "You my man, get Giuseppe wherever he's at, cause big trouble is coming." "For Gods sake Chelo!" "Wait." "Save your energy to fight the Gringo." "He man." "Are you guys nuts?" "You want me to get Giuseppe in trouble?" " Who?" " Of course it's him." "He's the manager." "To get Giuseppe in trouble, you can forget it." "Wait up... wait up!" "Come here." "You can't do this to me." "Don't let me down." "Excuse me, have you met Juana?" "Clam down." "Let's talk this out." "Talk what out?" "The Gringo doesn't speak Spanish Genaro." "What's with this get up?" "You're doing well with the Americans?" "Not really." "Fabulous, wonderful... tell him how great you're doing Genaro." "So tell me." "You know I dress as a chicken, so I started rapping to her." "And an American chicken has just arrived." "Well, she came with her aunts from abroad..." "And then came another rooster." " Yeah, but a fighting Cock." " Enough of you." "Oh, he killed me." "He killed me." "Genaro, the Gringo hits hard." "Don't worry Giuseppe." "I'll fix this." "Hey you!" "You white trash Gringo, come hit me." "I'm naked." "That's how you like it." "Your cornflake eating Gringos are just hollow." "I got Dominican fiber right here." "Come here, come here..." "Stop it Genaro." "Don't make things worst please." "She dumped you for this black stud." "What is the I have that you don't?" " Let me get something to wipe the blood off." " His blood right?" " Are you with him or with me?" " With you." "Just go on..." "Don't hold me back, don't..." " Nobody is." " Shut up, it's not your fight." "Come on." "Just try something." "I'll do to you what Tyson did to Hollyfield." "What pizza are you talking about?" "What are you saying to me?" "Throw a punch if you're brave enough." "You'll fight an old tiger." " I know you..." " He threw a punch?" "No he didn't." "Get me a translator please." " Bet you she stays with the Gringo." " My money is on Genaro." "Let's bet a Dominican salami and three grand." "Well, even I want to learn English now." "Well Genaro." "Let's go back home." " Give me a shot of rum." " It's almost midnight." "Only one and I leave." "I imagine today hasn't been great?" "You always appear as if by magic." "I got experience in these things." "At least here we're all equal." "With different stories..." "You know what?" "The first time I laid eyes on you..." "I knew you would have a hard time doing this job." "Stop, I'm not in the mood for sermons." "You take things too seriously." "The worst that can happen, you go home empty handed." "Unlike us." "We've been leaving our reputation behind with each date." "Where can we go?" "He came looking the same thing you did." "But he fell in love with music." "Just that you..." "You drown your sorrows in that glass of rum." "And he strangles his with his guitar strings." "Bartender, check please." "I got this." "This drink is on me." "Don't say a thing." "Don't." "Don't talk your cheap talk please." "Thank you... but..." "You at least tried to smack him back." "You would've done the same for me." "Hold on." "I did." "The smack was for you." "You know the trouble I was in." "It wasn't my intention." "It's alright." "Forget it." "How's the never-ending story ending?" "Tell me." "The American with her Gringo, and Genaro..." "Excuse me Giuseppe." " Genaro come here." " What did you do?" "What's up?" " Nothing." " We're actually splitting." "Let me tell Giuseppe and we'll leave together." "We're not going back to the neighborhood." "So you won't..." "Instead, we are leaving with her aunts." "I thought you two didn't..." "My boy here talked to me..." "And realized that when you get a gift horse..." "When someone gives you a horse, teeth and all, the animal is yours, papers and everything..." "Then, a gift horse..." "so that means it is yours... if they gave it to you..." "you do whatever you want... so..." "What this bloke is saying is that it isn't important to eat fine foods, what matter is to get your belly full." "Sure, but with a horse..." "And if the Americans likes as much as they say, as I learned from the master, I sacrifice myself..." " Right?" " Of course." "Besides, this are rough times my boy." "For that woman, I'll even dump Juana." "Look." "Just so you know." "We're their last flight out, if they don't catch us, worse for them." "I just said that to rime." "I got mine all infatuated." "Besides, where are those going to get two studs like us?" " There they go..." " She's daddy's girl..." "Genaro!" "We'll be seeing you." "Don't erase my account at the store." "I'll pay you back in dollars, including interest." "What's your shoe size?" "I'll send you sneakers with lights." "There's always electric power abroad..." "There are no small generators." "Let's go." "Yes check..." "I'll help you with the check out." "Help this American out, she's leaving." "Look at that." "How much can a man take?" "My life is worthless." "I told you." " They just want to have fun." " I know, I know, you're right." "Come on, cheer up." "You'll meet another one." "Another what?" "A fake one like her?" "You know something..." "Yes, I know, I got to be a chicken and entertain those crazy kids." "Thanks to Giuseppe." "It's not that..." "What do you mean?" "I should go back home, to my store." "No way." "Chelo and Carlito got theirs, and I'm stuck here?" "The check out is fishy." "My friends will come back wearing gold chains and sneakers with lights on them." "What do you mean?" "It's not hers." "It's for her aunts and her boyfriend." "So then what?" "She wants to stay?" "I suppose so." "No, listen up." "Go back." "Go back with your pale Gringo." "I'm not a toy." "Now you run back to me right?" "After I showed you around, I almost drowned at the beach, took you home, and introduced you to my beloved mom..." "Now you want to stay with me." "No way." "Get me her papers, she's leaving." "I'm staying." "I got work to do." "I'm staying." "As far as women go, look, this is a woman." "She's made in the Dominican Republic." "I'm staying, yes take her away." "You're white and understand each other." "Go away." "You were right." "Always in search of dream and" "I'm better off staying here." "I rather dress as a chicken than go suffer in the big apple." "Around here we just have to work." "And try to get a woman like you to fall in love with me." "You would have to change lots of things." "Probably not that many, it may be easier than learning English." "Besides, you would also have to change some things." "Wait, who do you think you are?" "You want to play hard to get now?" "Let's go to the pool, have a fruit punch and talk about it." "You mean fruit punch." "Same thing." "Come on, let's go." "Did you know I'm from Los Praditos?" "Wait until mom sees you." "She always said, get one your own color." " Hey, Genaro!" " It's nothing." "Wait, what's your name?" "Such an ugly name?"
