"And that was not the case." "It was very different as a director." "I wanted to show the old Acapulco, the golden age of Acapulco." "That's why we used this furniture and wardrobe from the 70s a little bit retro." "We used..." "And that's how we achieved a colorful movie, a candy-colored look." "We chose five or six colors and we stuck to those." "Many people ask me how we shot the motorcycle scenes with the baby." "I'll tell you how." "The first time the baby appears in the motorcycle with me I'm not actually driving the motorcycle." "The motorcycle is mounted on a trailer." "This trailer is pulled by a car with the camera crew." "The motorcycle is attached to a trailer." "It doesn't move and there's no risk for the baby or me." "Later on, there are some scenes where I drive the motorcycle alone with the baby." "In those scenes I have a dummy with me." "It's a doll we made." "At the end, when I arrive at the airport we replaced the dummy with the baby but we only drove a few yards to get to the airport and get off the motorcycle." "That's the real baby." "But I only drove a few yards in order to not risk the baby's safety." "She's one of the best actresses in Mexican cinema." "It was a mix between antacid with bicarbonate and..."

"Then, when I sat on the tub, in the middle of the bath..." "There." "I supposedly had to get inside the tub with the boy." "All dressed up." "And we were going to play." "Obviously, by the time we changed from a boy to a girl it was really complicated to do the tub scene with a girl and her dad." "That's why we decided to change the scene." "It was complicated." "We couldn't show the girl topless." "And we couldn't have her bathing with her clothes on." "That's why we decided to change the scene." "This was one of the adaptations we had to do once we knew we had a girl." "We tried to get some pictures from famous people." "But we couldn't." "It was difficult because American actors don't lend their image that easily." "The only one that agreed was Adam Sandler." "Without even reading the script." "He was the only one that trusted me."

"I just showed Valentín's shot, in order for people to think..." "But this is a clue that many people didn't notice." "The girl is buckling up because she was also injected." "Her medicine is real and his are false." "We let the girl believe they're vitamins." "If you haven't seen the film..." "Well, I hope you're watching this after seeing the film." "I hope I didn't spoil the ending." "But it's important, because I'll mention the clues that let you know why the girl." "What are the girl's symptoms and where are the clues in the film." "Where are the clues that you normally don't see." "She was tall enough to get in." "There's a height requirement, and if you're not tall enough you cannot go on the roller coaster." "So in order to get her in, we put a lot of toilet paper in her boots." "In doing that, she was able to exceed the line and get on the roller coaster." "They're some studios in Mexico." "This frame by frame animation is called stop motion." "They animate everything frame by frame, but..." "Some people work with modeling clay but we used fabrics."

"Until there was a man that was more handsome than her dad." "I think he is a National Geographic reporter that works for the History Channel." "But his physiognomy is so special that I decided to call him." "I wanted someone like him." ""I hope you don't get mad."" "I really like this scene because we're seeing two worlds." "Valentín doesn't speak English, but the girl does." "That's very common in Latin families in the United States." "The first generation doesn't speak English." "They don't want to speak English, they refuse and their children speak English very well." "In this case the girl negotiates on behalf of her dad." "But here, the girl wants her mom and her partner to see her dad is very brave." "And to her, her dad is Superman." "She thinks her dad can do anything." "That her dad is very brave and is not afraid." "That's why she puts him at risk." "She believes her dad is a superman." "This scene is very tender and very funny at the same time." "Tender because she wants everybody to be happy and tell everybody her dad is very brave." "And it's funny because she's risking her dad's life without knowing."

"I loved the building and that's why we used it as a location for this scene." "The stairs..." "Everything." "But it's a chocolate factory." "State of Mexico." "In another tone." "It's completely different from the tone of the film." "I'm not happy with my stubbornness to keep the bee but I'm happy with my stubbornness for keeping the song "Cuando Calienta el Sol" in the scene." "She's a bitch." "I don't want to use strong words, in Spanish or English but this woman made him believe the girl was his." "She changed his life." "She changed his whole life for a girl that we, as the audience, find out is not even his." "She has nothing to do with him." "And of course, he's now realizing the girl is blond and has blue eyes." "She has nothing to do with him, they're not even related." "And this moment..." "I love seeing how their faces transform little by little as they listen to the narration." "And everything he says is so true..." "I love this scene." "Ever since I saw it, "It has to be like this."" "She has to appear gradually, in the background without us noticing." "You cannot know what's going to happen." "Is the mother going to take his child away?" "Or not?" "That's why I love these five minutes so much." "As spectator, you cannot know what'll happen."

"Thanks for staying with me during this narration." "Finally I want you to know that the song Sammy sings at the end..." "He created the lyrics at that very moment."
