some strong stuff on his hands.

He's planning something big.

That's nasty.

I know, I know. I need a bath.

Dude, don't bathe.

You finally smell like a man.

You like it? Come here. Smell it.

You two cut it out.

Where's the dirt?

The dirt's in the SUV.

Mr. Valdez.

It's about your boyfriend.

That one.

Not that one.

You can do this. Help me, Lord.

Miss, Miss, wait.

Excuse me. My name is... -

I know who you are, sir.

And I know what you want.

Mr. Amistad,

we've been secretly meeting,

trying to organize for months.

When Chava gave me your

pamphlet, I saw it as a sign.

I can set up a meeting after work

at this address.

Take your stupid flyer, ya bastard!

I want nothing from you! Nothing!

"WE LEAVE AT 6:
00 PM

WE'RE GOING TO 980 W. 77th ST."

$5.00.

How much for this one?

$10.

This other one?

This one's really good.

This is how you make your living?

What are you doing here?

When were you planning to tell me?

I was going to. It's hard to explain.

Anything else you haven't told me?

Of course not.

I just wanted to see this for myself.

Before I told you it's over.

Please, this is harmless.

Answer me this.

Were you going to rob Mr. Valdez?

Do you love me?

Or was all this planned

to get close to him?

Friggin' pretty boy. Easy.

A few words of advice:

Get out of town.

If I catch you near the mansion again,

you're gonna have an accident.

Miguelito, you're the man.

You're the best.

Who did Hamlet?

Who did Pinocchio?

Um, hello. Hello.

Thank you all for being here.

I want to thank Blanca. You came because

of her. Thank you, Blanca.

Yes. You have a question?

Yeah, what union are you with?

Your union?

We need to know which union

will be sponsoring us.

Well, that union would be...

SAG.

SAG? What's that?

SAG is... is the Screen Actors Guild.

The Screen Actors Guild is the union

for actors. Actors like me...

Tom Hanks wants to sponsor us?

Tom Hanks, in person, won't really...

Julia Roberts? Is she in that union?

Yes, Julia, too. All actors belong to...

With Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts,

we'll get everyone to strike.

Listen, I think you misunderstood.

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts

will not be with us.

We can't win unless Tom Hanks

and Julia Roberts are there picketing.

Management needs to see

big stars supporting us.

If they're not coming, forget it.

Don't say that. Wait. Please!

Shut up!

They may not physically be here.

But they're with us in spirit.

They share the same passion for justice...

equal opportunity,

fair wages...

health insurance.

Sure. It'd be easier if they

were striking with us.

But when has life been easy

for people like us?

We struggle day after day.

We work ten times harder

than most people from here.

To have a roof over our heads.

To put food on the table.

To feed our children.

This is the land of the free.

And only together, united as one,

will we be able to taste that freedom.

What happened?

What'd I tell you? Listen!

Yes, we can! Yes, we can!

He did it. He convinced them to strike.

I told you this guy was good.

Beginner's luck. Let's hope it lasts.

What?

It's pretty obvious.

- What?

- It's too obvious!

Don't push it.

The porta-potties are for the help.

They go over there.

I know I'm breaking the Fifth.

The Third?

One of Your commandments...

again.

But You know

my heart's in the right place.

O Lord...

They had that outfit made for you?

I got clothes you could've

borrowed. But whatever.

Ready?

I didn't think I'd be so nervous...

but yeah. I'm...

ready.

My daughter.

You look... beautiful.

You look like your mother.

Yeah?

Can we get this over with?

I feel like a Barbie doll.

Go over the plans to the mansion

one more time.

Good. Everybody knows

what they're doing.

Get one with the Chancellor, please.

Thanks. Thanks for coming.

Go on in.

Get on the toilet!

Get up! Get down!

Get on the toilet!

Oh, crap, crap, crap,

crap, crap, crap.

I'm in the middle of an important event.

What do you think?

I should make the mayor wait for

a bunch of whining immigrants?

It's your job to prevent these things.

Yes, sir.

You know what?

Fire them. Fire them now.

We can't do that.

They have a right to strike.

What rights?

What rights are you talking about?

They're not Americans.

They're just immigrants.

They have no rights.

I want them fired

and replaced immediately.

- Or I'll replace you.

- Yes, sir.

How's it going, brother?

How's your day going?

A lot of work, or what?

Try not to scratch it.

Car's not mine.

I'll take this one.

- There he is.

- Relax.

Colombian.

My old friend, I'm so glad you came.

I wouldn't miss it.

Are you going to give me

back my wallet?

No. Not until you give me mine.

We're still the best.

Yep. The best.

Let me introduce you to my date...

Enchanted, Miss.

Same.

Why don't you get us something to drink?

The usual.

Ah, yes. The usual... drinks.

I'll go get them.

She's very young.

- Let me introduce you to the mayor.

- The mayor?

He's a friend. I pumped a lot

of cash into his campaign.

Owes me big, the son of a b*tch.

Mr. Mayor, a pleasure.

Damn, this Emilio guy is good.

Thanks.

How hard can this be?

I mean, sure, it's every day

you see a mansion...

with an entire floor

dedicated to a private vault.

Exactly.

Left... right.

Left here? No, right...

right... left...

Idiot. Idiot. It was a right.

Right. Left.

Yep.

You're late.

It's not my fault. It's just that...

Wow.

You look...

You look incredible.

Really?

Yeah, like a woman should.

And you smell like a man should.

- Really?

- Yes.

Sh*t! My dad!

Where?

- No, the keys. Take them.

- Right. The keys.

Give 'em...

- Here you go.

- Give me... take his.

Hey. What took you so long?

Sorry, I ran into a...

bit of a distraction.

This one's mine. Thanks.

Okay, who wants to work?

Me! Me!

Yeah, you. Come on.

Everybody, follow me.

What about Rafa?

Don't worry. He's a good driver.

He'll get here.

Move! You son of a...

Excellent cigar.

It better be.

They cost me 500 bucks a box.

I'm trying to figure out...

which of the seven deadly sins

hasn't consumed you, my friend.

Sloth.

I'm anything but lazy.

Doesn't go with me.

But greed does.

You and I have always held different

philosophies towards stealing.

But in the end,

stealing is stealing.

I remember a time when Claudio

Silvestrini had ethics.

That! That's why I left the team.

The money. It's here.

In this country. It's here...

That money...

you make it robbing

Latinos living here.

The old moralist has arisen.

Ah, yes. The pact: Don't steal

from our own. Please, Emilio.

Sure, I sometimes think

about them,

but when I count my cash...

when I start smelling it,

the thought escapes me. I forget.

So much money, and it never

occurred to you to help Catarino.

You knew he was sick.

And that he was dying.

Were you counting your money

when the thought escaped you?

I got busy.

He taught us all we know

about this business.

Yes. He taught us all we know.
