You guys fix all your f***ing problems,
but I'm gonna sing, bro.
I'm a professionaI.
Let's go, let's go.
Let's go, let's go, man.
? Soon?
? My lucky day will come?
? I hope that before I die?
? My luck will change?

"Hector I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"

? Soon?
? My lucky day will come?
? I hope that before I die?
? My luck will change?
? Many times I've stopped
to think?
? That I've never done
anybody any harm?
? Why has life treated
me this way?
? When I'm just looking
for happiness??
? I try to make people happy?
? But what I've said here
has been fataI?
? I don't lose hope that I'll fight?
? And surely my luck with change,
but when will that be??
Hurry up!
Help him, please.
I mean, how do you
live through that, right?
What did they expect
from him?
What, that he was
f***ing Superman?
King Kong couldn't
live through that.
I mean, I- sometimes I wonder
what I'm doing
sitting here in one piece.
Everybody in the story
is f***ing dead.
He had multiple fractures
and broken bones
and he hurt
all his insides
which were already all f***ed up
from all the drugs and the alcohoI,
and he survived.
You know what?
The motherf***er survived the fall.
He hit an air conditioning shaft
on the way down
outside
Johnny Pacheco's room
and he bounced, that's all.
But if he would have
hit the concrete,
he would have been dead, forget it.
But he didn't.
He did- he lived.
He lived
five more years.
But it wasn't reaI life.
And I wasn't there for him
all the time, you know?
Never never
leave me, baby.
It's not the same thing
as being there with you.
touching you,
kissing you.
You know, well.
I'd better stop.
Just wanted to tell you
over and over that I love you.
I'm right here with you.
You see me.
Happy birthday, Puchi. Happy bi-
I wanted to remember him
like he was.
Like he wanted me to.
