"Did you check last night's lottery numbers?" "Yes." "Are we millionaires?" "No." "Great." "I didn't want to give up that fruit cart yet." "Alright." "I'll do the cart today." "Pa, look." "I don't have to be at work 'til 6." "But I can help with..." "Go home and rest." "What's this?" "Lime juice." "For what?" "It's cheaper, and less work." "Well it tastes cheaper." "And sea salt tastes better too." "Don't buy that stuff." "Since you're here, I'm going to open up the store for Charlie." "And then you go home?" "Yes." "And then I go home." "They took everything." "Not everything." "Look, tomorrow I'll do the fruit cart." "Didn't you hear?" "Did you not hear the part where I almost got killed today?" "They've been robbing fruit vendors all month." "You've gotta give up that stupid cart." "It's not worth it." "Yes but..." "I can't start a business." "The fruit cart is a respectable job." "You're not going to be able to retire off selling fruit." "That cart takes both of us." "And I can't keep pulling Lydia out of bed at 4 every morning." "I'll ask Charlie if I can put in more hours." "But if not, I have to do that cart." "He smelled the meat." "Floor it!" "Like that?" "Just turn it off." "There's a restaurant downtown that's looking for an assistant cook." "What happened to the job at the gym?" "They're not going to hire me full-time." "What restaurant?" "Osaka." "Horchata?" "Osaka." "Doesn't sound Mexican to me." "It's..." "Japanese." "What's wrong with the taquerias on East 14th?" "I tried those already." "And I'm tired of taquerias." "This place looks interesting." "And their medical benefits kick in after three months." "Osaka?" "Is it the place where they throw the shrimp into the air and catch it with their hats?" "No, I don't think so." "I'd rather you work at a taqueria, so you can bring home some tacos." "I can still bring food home." "Yeah, but Japanese." "Who wants to eat rice with sukiyaki every night?" "You don't know." "Maybe they have something besides rice." "I have an interview with them tomorrow." "Look..." "Just make sure you are doing what's best for your daughter." "Now he's going to get it!" "Oh no!" "You're not supposed to be up." "Come on." "But it's not done yet." "Now!" "Are those Zombies?" "Yeah, this is a good one." "I just ask that you put her in bed by 9." "Please." "You're the one who took that job." "Why do you want to make me feel guilty for that?" "She's in a good school, she'll have medical benefits soon." "I've always put you and Lydia first." "Always." "Can I just do this for me, for once?" "You're the mother." "You know what's best." "Did you see that cart?" "It was just like ours." "We should be selling fruit today." "Look..." "They didn't even fill up the whole bag." "And it's not even ripe." "That's not how you sell fruit." "Imagine the fortune we could've made today." "Yeah, a fortune." "I don't know." "Ask your mother." "She has all the answers." "Mommy really likes her new job, honey." "I'm learning a lot there." "Yeah, but we could've made much more out here." "Look, why don't we fix up the cart?" "And we could go to one of those art and wine festivals." "What?" "I'm going to learn how to make rice tomorrow." "But you already know how to make rice." "This is sushi rice - it's different." "It's complicated." "This job has potential." "Potential for what?" "Making sushi burritos?" "Who's going to want to eat that?" "Look..." "Why don't you become a chef a great chef of Mexican food?" "Because I already am!" "Alright." "Well, let's..." "Look..." "Why don't we..." "Let me do this." "I got a pay cut today." "What?" "Pa, they don't pay you very much as it is!" "But that's how it's going to be." "Or I go back to fruit vending." "I'll have to work more hours to make up the difference." "Sorry, Pa." "Robert quit." "Can you ask Mr. Yoshida if he can help?" "He is at the other restaurant." "I leave you in charge of my restaurant and this is what happens?" "Sir?" "You had her out front?" "I'm sorry." "I asked for her help and..." "Yes." "That is why I am here now." "Can't you handle this sushi bar?" "Yes sir, but she is..." "Do not soil my reputation!" "We can't hire just any cook off the street." "It's not your place to hire." "Who prepared this?" "Juana." "Fine, send it off." "It says I have to videotape myself making traditional sushi and show photos of my own creations." "If you're not going to support me, can you at least pretend that you're interested?" "Come on, Pa." "Look..." "I'm not running away from my roots here." "You know sometimes I think you're just happy with us working, but never succeeding at anything." "Look..." "You don't need to prove to anyone that you are a good chef." "A good sushi chef, yes." "But you don't need to go on some game show to prove it to people." "But we need the money, right?" "Our computer is dead." "Lydia needs a new uniform, a backpack and a cell phone." "A cell phone?" "I don't even own a cell phone." "Unfortunately, those are things kids need nowadays." "And I can't give them to her." "And it will pay for Lydia's tuition for two more years." "Look..." "Jorge has a video camera." "Give him a plate of chicken mole and he'll lend it to you." "That's right." "But I still don't know what kind of sushi to make." "Only God knows." "If you can't beat them at their game, beat them at your game." "You are encouraging her." "I am not discouraging her." "No." "Juana's creation." "The Mayan Sun Roll." "It's as good, if not better than anything on this menu." "I don't believe it." "What did you say?" "Something about Latinos being stuck in the back." "Truthfully, I don't really remember." "I was upset." "I thought you were happy there?" "I was." "Didn't you want me to work in a taqueria?" "I want you to work where you're happy." "He's Japanese." "Open the door, honey." "You've worked under more difficult conditions." "Remember beat them at your game." "Look, there is Lydia." "What is that?" "Juana." "She's in a sushi competition." "I am both."
