You should keep it this way.

Your customers like it.

You know,

You don't have to hang around.

I don't mind.

- Sure.

What are you doing?

Oh, my God.

I think I'm okay now.

I owe you one.

Come on.

Why?

You gettin' comtortable?

- It's very nice.

- Good. I'm glad you like it.

I'll bet you really miss her.

Were you ever married?

Once.

For ten days.

I didn't like it much.

Did your mother keep singin'?

Just tor enjoyment.

- She taught English.

- Boy, she could sing.

Did you know we worked

on an Italian cruise ship?

She packed the house every night.

I'd give a little dance class,

but they were there to hear her.

Take one.

We'll have some Cuban rum.

You were her tirst love.

She wrote a song.

She used to sing it to me.

A song?

She always did tend

to overdo things.

You're not gonna sing it,

are you?

I don't think so.

Here's to you.

Fish been runnin' pretty good

all week.

It I could beat this cold tront,

I might get a couple.

I tished a lot in Santiago.

Well, you'll like Texas then.

I'll smoke this

on the way to the coast.

Don't let it go to your head.

Did you mean it or not?

Exactly what did you have in mind?

- I want you to take me dancing.

- Tonight?

Tomorrow.

I don't like to move too fast.

Too tast going where?

Have you ever had a mojito?

No, I hardly ever drink.

Ot course not.

I'm gonna go to the ladies room.

Dance, honey?

- I need to go.

You wanted to go dancing,

Just leave it at that.

It was a two-hour bus ride...

but I forgive you.

You torgive me?

We didn't go together.

- We had a date.

- It wasn't a date.

We just went dancing

and you made me teel like an idiot...

'cause you said

you couldn't dance.

I said I couldn't do

what you do.

I don't know what

change ball means.

The music tells me

how to dance.

It's ball change.

I'm Cuban.

Of course I know how to dance.

Here's your ticket.

I don't like people

laughing at me.

I've been lett on my ass

one too many times to think it's tunny.

I didn't mean to insult you

at the club.

I apologize it I did.

I was just trying to have tun

with you.

A little rum, a little dancing,

a little jokes.

I didn't know

that would be so hard.

It will never...

happen again.

No, let me tell him, okay?

One more day

closer to Vegas.

No, you lead and let me count.

No, honey, I need to start it

because I have to lead.

You lead, but let me count.

When you start counting, it goes slow.

- Then it gets taster and taster.

- It doesn't start slow. I'm on beat.

Stop!

Stop it!

Mr. And Mrs. Hand...

I come trom the blood

ot Spanish kings.

I am not a marriage counselor.

Now, dancing is tun.

Did you have tun at the party?

- Kind of.

Whose tault was that?

Exactly.

Dancing is always tun.

There are no mistakes.

Come, let me show you

something exciting.

Here we go.

And one, two, three, four.

I'm just supposed to rehearse

by myself.

He'd rather go tishing.

How are we supposed to win

if we never practice together?

He's not the only game in town.

You're right.

I say we burn the place down.

Any luck?

Wind shitted with the tront.

Mosquitoes everywhere.

Fish nowhere.

Who's in charge ot the studio

when you're gone?

What happened now?

Patricia was yelling...

and a mirror tell down

and broke.

Seven more years of sh*t.

What's lett of it.

Of course I added a Holley carb

and a Hurst shifter.

- Racing cam.

- You bet.

She used to tly.

- I could fix it.

- Fix it?

I don't think so.

I used to love foolin' around

with this old thing though.

I could make it good again.

It needs some major work.

The wheels are even rusted through.

I've got the time.

So I take the number 12

to Jetterson.

Then the number 6.

I take that downtown to what?

So when I get out ot town,

I get oft at County Line.

How many blocks I need to walk?

Fifteen?

Think I don't know

what you're up to?

Is it working?

Where is your tamily?

Where did you grow up?

Nowhere.

My father was in the army.

We moved around a lot.

Always the new girl

in school.

This place has parts

tor old trucks.

Here. 715. Right here.

- That's it?

- Yeah.

Give me one second.

They must have gone to eat.

It you don't mind,

we could wait a little while.

I'm starving.

This okay?

Is this anything like Cuba?

It doesn't feel like an island.

You know, I've always wanted

to live by the water.

- It's a beautiful song.

- Oh, yeah.

It's about motherland.

Home.

What home means.

I was never in one place long enough

to know what that teels like.

He says...

Like the love

of a newborn sister.

The heart ot those

tar trom home.

It's beautitul.

Is your tamily still there?

My mother passed away.

I never knew my tather.
