"USED PARTS" "What'ya guys got for me today?" "High quality stuff." " Looks good to me." " Cool." "See ya." "Man... me and my aching bones." "I feel like an old fogy." " See ya, dude." " Yeah, see ya." "I'll take one." "Holy shit, we're late." "They better wait for us." "Light me a smoke." "They're in my jacket." "C'mon, dude." "Good afternoon, Aldana Car Parts." "What can I do for you?" "Do you want them used or new?" "Watch it." "It's all there." "C'mon." "Give me a call when you got more." "Let's go." "Yeah, Don Pascual." "I've got your parts." "Yeah, pass by any time." "Ivan, you gotta go to Javier's." "Take him these parts." "It's this and the tail light." "You know which one it is?" " The one on the corner, right?" " Yeah." "And move your ass." "So what's the deal, Jaime?" "With what?" "When are you giving me my van back?" "Give me two more weeks, OK?" " No fuckin' way." " Why the fuck not?" "You said the same thing three weeks ago." "I need to make a trip." " Gimme a break." " It's not yours." "I just lent it to you for a few days." "But work's a bitch, man." "Just hold on a little, OK?" "No way, man." "C'mon..." "Take it easy." "I'm gonna give it back." "You want it, there it is." "Go on, take it." "Pain in the ass." "Look, man." "When I need more parts I'll let you know." "But gimme my van back." "Hey, cool it!" "What about the car wash?" "How'd it go?" "Not bad!" "Well done today, champ." "Same old stuff." "Mr. Hot Shit, huh?" "With Miguel's, plus yours, that makes... 800 pesos." "Not bad for one day." "Hey, buy your own..." "Minus the rent..." "That makes 34,300 pesos." " Not bad." " What about me?" " What about you?" " My share." "We'll see in the States." "Not long now." "We almost have enough." "When are we going?" "God willing, we'll be in the States... in a month and a half." "Yeah, man." "Take it easy, kid." "I'll keep it, we don't wanna lose it." "We can't slack off now." "We gotta hold on." "Once we're there it'll be smooth sailing." "Right on!" " Hungry?" " Yeah." "Then go make some eggs." "How about some tacos?" "Tacos, Ivan, always tacos." "That's why you're so skinny." "Pure skin and bones." "Stop it!" "I am the king of the U.S.A." "New York, Chicago and L. A!" "See ya later." "Hey, did you wash the parts for Pancho?" "Well, get on it then." "I gotta deliver them tomorrow early." "And no faces!" "Hey, handsome." " Is your uncle home?" " Yeah." "Go on in." "Thanks." "Going out partying?" "Gotta have fun every now and then, right?" "Don't be naughty." " Just a little bit." " Bye." "What's up?" "What's the deal?" "I've been waiting for ages." "Take it easy." "Has Pedro come by?" "He'll be right back." "He went to get the goods." "Here's my part." "Where's yours?" "I only have 500." "500?" "We said 1,500 each." "Don't act stupid, take out the rest." "That's all I've got." "A deal's a deal." "Pedro's gonna tell us to fuck off." "Just leave him to me." "I'll bargain." "Yeah, right." "What's up?" "Here it is, shining new." "Cool." "Let's give it run." "First you pay, then you play." "How much?" "Four G's." "Four!" "Gimme a break." "Easy, baby face." "It's worth fifteen new." "For two G's we'll take it." "For two G's I can get you something older... but not this one." " What's your best price?" " We're not on a street market." "Four or nothing." "Give us a little time." "We'll give you the rest on the weekend." "Go find yourselves another one." "Now we're really fucked." "Chill, it was way too much." "Yeah, it was a real junk." "And it sounded like a pizza delivery bike." "Now you've had it, faggot." "No way, man." "Can I take the shot again?" "You wish, man." "You stole my attention." "Come on." "Hi." "Got a smoke?" "Wanna play with us?" "Wake up, lazy ass." "Wear something warm." "It's cold." "Go wait at the junkyard." "I'll be right there." "Can I come with you?" "OK." "But keep your trap shut." "Deal." "Wait here." "What's up?" "Hey." "What's with him?" "He's cool." "He's my nephew." "It's now a family business?" "Sort of." "Well, here's the unit." "Practically new." "Pretty slick, huh?" " Not bad." " Stop it." "How much?" "Seven G's." "Hey, Guero, the last time it was five..." "Yeah, but prices went up." "Don't be a prick." "Gimme a better price." "I'm not bargaining." "That's the price." "You pay it, you get to take it home." "At that price, it'll be a loss." "That's not my problem." "Seven G's too much." "Here are five..." "Look, Jaime... don't fuck with me." "The job's done." "You asked for the unit and you got it." "So now there's no pussying out." "Seven." "Seven." "OK, fine..." "See, you can always get what you want." "Let me know when you want another one." "Give him the keys." "Ivan, what's your excuse this time?" "This is the fourth time in two weeks." "If you come in late again... don't even bother showing your face." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me, sir." "Smart-aleck." "Go on, get to work." "Awesome." "Sorry." "These wheels are so cool." "Fuckin' awesome." "Cost me a pretty penny." "You wish, fucker, you ain't got a dime." "Hey, don't get it dirty." "Beware!" "That's it." "Wash it for me, baby." "You wish." "Just wait and see." "When I get back loaded from the States..." "I'm gonna get one cooler than this." "You're gonna take me for a spin, right?" " Stop it, man." " Look out, there's the boss." "How's your pal Julio doing in Chicago?" "Great." "He got a good job." "He bought a house." "He even sent for his wife." "Yeah, I remember." "I crossed her over like 6 months ago..." "When can we leave?" "I have a trip scheduled in three weeks." "But after that..." "I can't really say when there'll be another one." "It's very uncertain right now." "In that case, I'll go in three weeks." "You'll have to give me a down payment." " How much is it gonna cost?" " Is it just you?" "No, me and my nephew." "Thirty each..." "I heard it was only twenty each." "That was last year." "I told you, times are tough." "My nephew's 14." "It's cheaper for him, right?" "Look, this isn't a travel agency... to be giving out discounts for children." "Here everyone pays the same." "When do I get the down payment?" "Ten thousand each." "Give me a few days." "I gotta work a few things out." "Don't take too long." "I only have five places left..." "Five?" "OK, save me two spots." "Maybe only one but I'll let you know." "OK, but only until the weekend." "Don't worry, as soon as I have the money I'll give it to you." "Fuck no, Jaime, I can't lend you the dough." "Don't be a prick." "I gotta pay the Coyote for the trip." "It's a shitload of money and besides..." "What?" " I'll pay it back in two weeks." " Just like my van." "You still have it." "C'mon, Miguel..." "I gotta get that money ASAP." "Look, I can't lend you the dough... but I can give you a name." "What about?" "It's a guy they call Engineer." "He's always looking for car parts... and he buys shitloads." "Does he pay well?" "If you do a good job, yes." "You can ask Guero to get you the parts." "No, I've done with Guero." "He's asking way too much." "Thanks for the name." "Hey, Jaime." "How are you gonna get the parts?" "I'll figure something out." "Hey, what's up?" "Give me a hand with a job." " I can't right now." " Course you can." "What about the boss?" "He can go to hell." "You make shit money here." "Let's go." " Yeah, but..." " But what, Ivan?" "We got problems with the Coyote." "We're missing half the money we need." "We only have two weeks to get it." "Either we move our ass or we'll never get outta here." " I'll go get my things." " OK." "Hurry up!" "I'm gonna go help my uncle." "Since when?" "So we can go to the States." "Let me know how it goes." "Ivan?" "Where you going?" "Get back here!" "OK, champ." "See that grey car?" "Go get the hubcaps and mirrors." "Go on..." "What, you chicken?" " No, but..." " Look, Ivan..." "We either work for years making shit money... or we do it now and we leave in three weeks." "Three weeks?" "Awesome!" "Yeah, but first we gotta get the cash." "Let's see if you're a hot shit as you say..." "Put the hubcaps in your bag so you don't get caught." "You know how to pop the mirrors." "Here." "In case they have fasteners." "I'll wait for you here." "This way." "Son of a bitch!" "Stop!" "Take it easy." "Not bad." "You missed the mirrors." "I'll get them later." "You'll get the hang of it little by little." "You just need some training." "You gotta learn how to control the alarms." "They're worth shit 'cause no one pays attention to them anyway." "So don't be afraid of them." "You just gotta pull out the cable to the speaker... and the lullaby is over." "Got it?" "OK, let's start with the basics." "Windows." "Anti-theft film, you ass." "Then?" "Use a crowbar." "Let's see..." "You got the basics." "Now let's get to the good stuff." "Let's make a deal." "If you open this car first, I do whatever you want." "Whatever?" "Whatever..." "But if I win, you do what I say." "Deal?" "OK." "One... two... three." "Get over here." "Time to pay up." "Take off your clothes." "What for?" "Don't ask." "Take off your clothes." "No fuckin' way." "Take them off or you're not leaving." "You're gonna go back on your word?" "C'mon!" "Give 'em to me." "All of your clothes." "Everything!" "Here you go." "See ya later." " Good afternoon." " Hi, Ivan." " How are you?" " Good." "Efrain shouldn't be too long." "He's late." " Do you want something?" " No thanks." "And you?" "What about me?" "No, nothing." "Efrain told me you got a new job." "Thanks." "I'm working at a car parts shop." "That's great." "What are you doing there?" "I get used car parts." "Anything they want I get for them." "That sounds like a real job." "I wish Efrain could get something like that... more serious, more professional." "Finally, Efrain." " Where were you?" " Around." "I'm late now." "Why don't you say hello?" "I'll get back late tonight." "Make sure your brother doesn't watch TV." " Good-bye, Ivan." " Bye, ma'am." "Hey, chill, man." " Want a beer?" " Right on." " Do your homework, squirt." " Later." "Not later." "Now." "What did you say?" "C'mon, brat, do your homework." " Paquito thinks he's hot stuff." " Tough guy." "A little more." "There." "So you're really going." "In three weeks." "Killer, huh?" "Awesome." "You're gonna make the total bucks there." "Damn right." "If you want you can work with me... and make a bit of dough." "You think?" "Damn right." "We can make good bucks." " And your uncle?" " He won't even notice." "It's just that..." "C'mon, don't be a chicken shit." " What if we get caught?" " No way." "It's a piece of cake." "It's just that I gotta look after my mom's store..." "I can come by for you later..." "Maybe some other time." "I get it." "You sissy." "Better like that." "You'd just be in the way." "You couldn't steal a thing anyway." "So..." "How'd it go with the Coyote?" "So-so." "C'mon, tell me." "What for?" "You're so mean, you never tell me anything." "Well, I'm also interested in the trip." "Really?" "I was thinking..." "I want to go with you to the States." "You told me you can't leave your mom." "We said it was better if you stayed." "Well, yeah, but now I want to go." "You just change your mind and decide to go?" "You don't want me to go with you anymore?" "No, it's just that..." "What about Ivan?" "We can all go together." "Right?" "What about the cash?" "I barely have enough for me." "Well, I have a little saved up." "I want it to go into this." "It's not that easy." "Besides, I'm leaving in three weeks." "Look..." "I have over 20,000 pesos saved up." "I don't know if it's enough but it's a good start, right?" "Well, yeah." "Besides, I'd even go tomorrow if you wanted." "What's wrong, baby?" "Don't be like that." "Don't you want us to live together in the States?" "What are you gonna tell your mom?" "She'll be happy when she gets her dollars every month." "Well, in that case..." "But if she comes, I stay." "Hey, a little respect." " No mothers-in-law allowed." " Stop it." "I'll ask Julio... to get you a job." "Tell him I can do anything." "I even speak a little English." " Really?" " You don't believe me?" " Let's see, say something" " Ask me." "Say... want to make lots of money?" " Hold on." " Let's see, hot stuff." "Your turn." "Practice driving." "Careful with the gears." "Hey, what'd I say?" "Engineer?" "I got your order." "I'll take it over in an hour." "But it's gonna cost you a bit more." "Yeah..." "A pork taco." "If we keep this up, making almost 2,000 a day, we'll be able to pay the Coyote no prob..." "Are we gonna do the same thing up there?" "No." "This is just temporary." "My pal Julio got me a good job." "I'm gonna do garden work." "Am I gonna work with you?" "I dunno." "We'll have to see with Julio." "If not, we'll find you something else." "But..." "It's gonna be hard to get a kid like you work." "How come?" "I dunno..." "Gringos are kinda square, you know?" "Here you go." "I can get at least a thousand for it." "Who knows..." "I've got a good joke." "Yeah?" "Know why the girls get smart round here?" "How come?" "Because of this dick-tionary." " Good one, huh?" " Not really." "Aldana Car Parts." "Good afternoon." "Jaime, what's up?" "Yeah." "I'll get them for you." "Should I take them to Miguel's?" "I gotta go work." "Ivan..." "Can I go with you?" "What for?" "To give you a hand." "This is serious business, you can't fuck up." "You better be ready to play the game." "Don't worry, I'm not gonna let you down." "OK, then." "Let's go." "It's late." "Aldana Car Parts?" "Go over there and keep lookout." "If you see anyone, whistle." "Then you help me with the headlights." "Got it." "The cops!" "They're leaving." "How much?" "Twenty-five." "Can I see these?" "I gotta go." "I have to help my mom." "Come with me to deliver the parts." "No, it's late, man." "Fine then, go take care of your momma." "Fuck off." " See ya." " When's the next one?" "I'll let you know." "OK." "Why did you steal it?" "Don't you realize what you're doing?" "I told the manager you'd take it back tomorrow." "If not, we'll have to go to the police and pay bail." "Besides shaming us all." "What are you going to do now?" "You have to find another job, Efrain." "I can't manage alone." "I'm helping Ivan with the car parts." "I can make pretty much." "But that's only temporary." "You can't depend on the goodness of your friend." "You have to find something more permanent." "I swear I'll find another job." "Well, I'll see what I can do." "I'll ask Lucha's cousin to give you work at the workshop." "So you can learn something and stop being a bum." "I'm sorry, Ma." "I am so angry with you." "Please, Ma, I only wanted to help you out." "Help me?" "You'll help me finding a job." "Not by doing these stupid things." "Please, Ma." "Forgive me." "You have to be more responsible, Efrain." "Go on now, go to bed." " Hi there." " What?" "Let's have a little chat." "What do you want?" "Does Jaime pay you well?" "Not much left over for you, huh?" "What do you want with my uncle?" "Why don't you come work for me?" "I'm sure we can do business together." "Hey, champ." "How'd it go?" "Here's the money from Miguel." "Sit down." " Not too tough?" " Piece of cake." "That's cool." "You're getting good." "Fucking good!" "Hey, handsome." "Cheers!" "Down it." "OK?" "I'm watching." "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes." "Well, Ivan... we want to tell you something... something important." "Well..." "Lupita's coming to the States." "We were thinking it over, and it'd be better for all of us if..." "Lupita and I go on ahead." "So we can check things out up there." "It'll be safer that way." "Especially for you." "We'll send you some money." "You'll join us in six months." "I spoke with my cousin Claudia... so you can stay with her." "As soon as possible we'll send you money." "But save it up, huh?" "Take it easy, Ivan." "Calm down!" "Ivan, stop it!" "Ivan, come back, don't be an idiot!" "Don't worry, he'll be back soon." "At least things are clear now." "Each to his own and I don't owe that prick anything." "Now we're gonna do it big... like true outlaws." "We're gonna pop all the wheels in the city." "And everyone will come to us for favors." " And we'll have lots of money." " We'll be rich... and will go to the U.S. Whenever we wish." "We'll go to L.A. And buy whatever we want." "And we'll have a huge limo with leather seats... and a hot-ass stereo system." "Fuckin' A!" " See ya, man." " Where are you gonna sleep?" "Wherever." "You can stay at my place if you want." "What about your mom?" "No sweat, she gets home late tonight." "OK." "Last one's a faggot." "See, born and raised in a circus." "Efrain." "Fucking Ivan, where is that little shit?" "Let's get this thing off." "Hold on, I'll do it." "It's mine!" "How about if we paint it black and put some stickers?" "Are you crazy?" "Don't be a sissy." "Yeah." "Some flames." "Pato has some awesome ones." "No fuckin' way!" "Why don't we just put on some neon lights once and for all." "Well..." "How about a flag of the soccer team America?" "No fuckin' way." "You're crazy if you think we're gonna put on little flags." "And of the America of all teams." "That's for faggots." "Well, yeah." "Which one of us is gonna keep it?" "Me, of course..." "Who'd you think?" "You wish!" "Fuckin' A!" "But I saw it first." "Who got it started?" "Besides, you can't drive, loser." " Yeah, but I can learn." " Fat chance." "Nobody's born knowing." "But you're a loser, and losers stay losers." "Just like you." "You love it, man." "Shove it." "I already did." "Now it's your turn." "Should we flip a coin?" "Whoever wins gets it the first week... and then we switch." "Deal." "Toss it." "Tails." "No way, you always cheat." "Fuck off." "How the hell do you figure that?" "You always think you're such hot shit." "Course." "Don't be a crybaby." "You'll get your chance." "We'll go even-steven." "What you've got for me?" "Some stuff." "First-rate, huh?" "USED PARTS" " Give me twenty-five." " You're fool." "Not bad." "Ivan!" "Where the hell you been?" "I've looking all over for you." "Forget about me." " Enough." "Let's go." " Let me go, you prick!" "What the fuck's wrong with you, Ivan?" "Cut the crap, let's work." "Fuck off!" "Touch me, don't be scared." "Son of a bitch!" "Go help your brother with his homework." "You were lucky you got off so easy." "Next time be more careful." "We did nothing." "I know it, but you should avoid running into trouble." "Here, put on Efrain's t-shirt." "That's not necessary." "Please, take it." "It's just something to help out with the house." "Your uncle passed by today." "I didn't tell him you were staying here." "But he told me he wants to talk to you." "He can go to hell." "Maybe you should talk to him." "What for?" "If he wants to go to the U.S. Without me... he can go, I don't give a damn." "Look, Ivan... sometimes people hurt you... without even realizing it." "I don't think your uncle meant to hurt you." "Sure he did." "That son of a bitch betrayed me." "I don't want anything to do with him." "Go wash up and let's eat." "Good evening." "Here it is, just as promised." " We bring the down payment." " Good." " Let me do it." " What?" " I'll get it." " Are you crazy?" "C'mon, you can pay the rest." " Why?" "No." " Please." "I'll feel better that way." "You should have told me before." "Here you are." "Ten each." " Why are you doing this?" " C'mon, honey." "Only two spots?" "Yeah, my girlfriend and I." "You had mentioned your nephew." "He'll join us later on." "You'll pay the rest when we reach Chicago." "When are we leaving?" "I will let you know next week." "Probably on Monday... or Tuesday." "But don't worry, your places are saved." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "My pleasure." "Thank you." "So you want to work here with us." "Right on." "What can you do?" "Well, anything:" "I can open cars, pop all the parts." "How do you do it?" "It depends." "Sometimes with a crowbar or a metal rod." "Oh, yeah?" "Have you ever used this kind of metal?" "Go on." "Don't be afraid." "Let's see what a hotshot you are." "Let's say he's at a red light and you want the car." "Go!" "Get out!" "Come on, move it!" "You're a dead man." "Hear me?" "Dead." "You loser." "OK, now you know it." "It is no use being a sissy." "If you want to work for me, you gotta bring me a unit." "I don't care where or how you get it." "But it better be here tonight... spanking new." "No scratches." "No dents." "Nothing." "Got it?" "Are we using it?" "Course we are." "Without it we'll get nowhere." "So when we find the car, we'll follow on the moped." "When it stops at a light, I'll get off... and you keep lookout next to it." "Are you gonna keep the gun?" "Hey, heads up." "Make sure there are no cops around." "If they catch us, we're fucked." "OK." "Let's get to work." "Go there and keep lookout at the elevators." "Now what?" "You're not needing the gun anymore." "What do you want it for?" "To keep watch better." "OK." "Stop!" "Stop right there!" "Security?" "Call for an ambulance immediately." "Level four." "Hi, Ivan." "What's wrong?" "How is he?" "Bad." "He has a hemorrhage, they'll have to operate." "What were you doing in the parking lot?" "We wanted to steal a car." "Why?" "We were gonna give it to this guy." "So he'd give us work." "I've no idea how I'm going to pay for the operation." "Mrs. Rodriguez." "What's going on?" "What are you doing, Ivan?" "Stop kidding." "Open up." "Open, you little brat!" "I'm talking to you!" "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "Open up!" "Stop fucking around, Ivan." "C'mon!" "It's alright!" "I won't lay a hand on you." "Open up, let's talk it over." "What the fuck for?" "Each one gets his share and that's that, right?" "Open up, Ivan." "Open up, you little piece of shit!" "Don't be a fuckin' idiot." "Open the door!" "Open!" "Is everyone done pissing?" "The next stop's in four hours." "For my little giant"
