Casa de mi Padre Page #2

Synopsis: Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna), shows up with his new fiancé, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).

Give me your water, Armando.

Waste water on that?

In the trunk. It's in the trunk.

Take it...

Here, take this.

I know you.

You are Sonia.

I found some drugs!

Armando, please help me put him

on the horse.

He is coming.

The Onza.

Maybe God will be merciful.

He is dead!

He was dead a long time ago.

It looks like these belong to you now.

You are a rich woman.

Don't you want them?

Perhaps as a wedding present

from an old dying friend?

You have answered my question.

You do not love my brother.

Let me go. You're hurting me.

I don't think you hurt so easily.

I know the kind of woman you are.

You know nothing about me.

I know that you will not marry Raul

if I can help it.

Do you think Raul is so innocent?

You lie!

You stupid rancher.

Your brother is a drug dealer!

You have done this!

So help me God, if it is true,

and my brother is involved in drugs,

you shall never have the name Alvarez!

I'll take care of my family.

Let the devil take care of you.

Are you so sure

that Raul is involved with drugs?

I don't know, Manuel.

I have sensed something since his return,

and this morning with Sonia...

Perhaps she is lying. B*tches are liars.

It is true. B*tches are liars.

But Miss Lopez is no b*tch.

I like b*tches.

You two wait here

while I go and talk to Raul.

It is true, Raul?

What are you speaking of, Armando?

You are in the drug business.

I am in business in Mexico, Armando.

What's the difference?

Raul, you have brought shame to our family.

No, Armando. I am here to save this family.

There's a difference.

You are taking this family to hell!

Armando, Little Armando, listen.

Yes.

So I move drugs over the border.

So why do you care?

I do not sell drugs to my people.

I sell it to the Americans.

I don't sell drugs to our people.

No, no, no.

I sell the Americans drugs, but I'd sell

them chocolates if they wanted them.

But they don't!

This is not the America

our father held in such high esteem.

This is a country of babies.

They buy houses with no money.

TVs and cars with no money.

They stuff their faces like monsters

with sh*t burgers and grease.

It's irresponsible to feed candy to babies.

No, they are not babies, Armando.

They are all adults, and they are crazy.

They only cry like babies.

The damn Mexicans are coming!

They are going to f*** us up

and kill us with their drugs!

F*** them!

F*** their drug-addicted children!

F*** them all.

F*** their heroin-addicted wives

who stuff themselves non-stop with pasta.

F*** their pot smoking doctors

from California.

F*** them!

If they can't stop themselves

from shoving bags of sh*t up their nose,

then let's make a buck while we can,

Little Armando.

Yes, yes. If it was so simple.

But instead we have been infected

with greed.

We will all kill each other

feeding the sh*t-eating

crazy monster babies.

Look, Armando, this country will be strong

from America's weakness.

Sons of b*tches.

What's up?

You are Raul?

You know very well who I am.

And I know very well who you are.

Onza.

Onza.

The Onza.

So, Raul, what the hell are you doing here?

I am here visiting my family.

I am here because...

This is my land.

You motherf***er,

you think you're a big boy?

He's really funny. Isn't he, Armando?

Look, Raul.

I don't believe you.

You have already taken my woman,

and I think you are here for something more.

The woman was never yours.

- Oh, no?

- No.

And I repeat.

I am here...

...because...

...this is my land.

Armando.

Yes?

Can I call you Little Armando?

I'd like that.

Do you know what your brother is doing?

Do you know what business he is in?

It's very dangerous for you

and very dangerous for him.

And it's very dangerous for your family.

Easy, easy.

Not all dirty, little ranchers

like Canadian Slims.

Yes, I like them.

All right then,

I only came to bring you this.

I think it belongs to you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Raul.

This is going to get very ugly.

That's okay.

Goodbye.

See you around.

See you later.

Bye.

- Bye bye.

- Bye.

It does not seem

as if this Onza wants to follow your plan.

Armando, go home.

Mexico is no place for cowards.

I live my life on earth

The dirt is all I know

I am a ranchero

And I know nothing

I know nothing

Why does the moon shine at night?

I don't know

Why does the bird take flight?

I don't know

Why does the turtle move so slow?

I don't know

Come on!

Why do men hate each other?

I don't know

Why does the brother fight the brother?

I don't know

Why does the blue flower grow?

I don't know

How can I know anything?

What is there to know?

Long live Mexico!

I am a man of the land

I am a ranchero

And I don't know

I live a simple life

I'm friends with the cows

I have no thoughts

I am a ranchero

I don't know

And I don't know

Why is a woman so warm?

Why is my bed so cold?

These are the questions

I'll never know

I'm a ranchero

And I don't know

The only thing I'll ever know for certain

Is love

Look at that.

Holy Mary, a white cat.

This is a rare thing.

Let me kill it.

You cannot kill this.

He is here for a reason.

Yes, so that I can shoot him.

I do not know the reason,

but I believe it has

something to do with me.

Look at this country.

Always such beauty.

Why is there so much pain?

Esteban slept on a rock last night.

I slept on a bottle of tequila.

What is this?

I do not know.

I don't like this.

FEDERAL POLICE:

You two stay here.

Be careful.

Armando Alvarez?

Yes. That is my name.

I am Vincent Blancardo.

I was friend of your father's

in the old days.

You were the one who found my mother.

Yes, many years ago.

Armando, these men are from America.

They are with the DEA.

Yes, how can I help you?

No, sir.

I don't speak American.

Armando, I need you to help me.

Of course.

We know that your brother is a drug dealer.

We also know that he is here

to take over the territory of the Onza.

I don't think I can help you, Mr...

Parker.

The name is Parker.

I think you can help me.

Listen, you piece of sh*t.

I make one call,

and I can get 10 helicopters

to come up over that hill

and turn your ranch

into a lit fart.

So you think about that.

It is better this way, Armando.

Talk to Raul.

Find out for this man.

Now go find out.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I want to thank you all for coming today.

Tomorrow will be a great day

for the Alvarez family.

It's a pleasure to share it with all of you.

My sister, Carmen,

has come from Guadalajara.

My other sister, Margarite,

has come from Puerto Vallarta.

My cousin, Hernan, and his wife, Doleta.

My friends for life.

Of course, Sheila from Atlanta!

Tomorrow will be a double celebration.

The return of my son, Raul, to his land.

Also, he brought home this precious woman

with whom he gets to have sex.

I propose a toast to Sonia.

For Sonia! Friends.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

For Sonia.

Cheers!

I'd also like to propose a toast

and thank those who have come from so far.

But I would like to specially thank someone,
