Feel The Noise Page #3

I'm in the game but I'm still

in the streets.

Prepped for Harlem

and Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico.

That was hot. You guys make

a crazy team together.

Oh, thanks.

We appreciate, you know what I'm saying?

The recording spot. Thanks.

You're welcome. Where's Javi?

Oh, he had to run some errands.

Yeah.

So...

...what you wanna do?

Do you know a place

where we can go get some drinks?

You know, there's a place like this

in New York.

Or New York

is just like this place.

Looks like in Puerto Rico,

you can go all day and all night.

Do you dance to this music?

No, not really.

- Why are you laughing?

- Why not?

- Because I don't dance, you know?

- I'll show you. Come on.

- Welcome back.

- Yeah, I'll be right back.

Don't go too far.

Hi. How are you?

Very good. How are you?

I'm just waiting

for my class to start.

This must be fate.

Yeah.

I'm waiting too, you know,

for that phone call. So?

I asked, and we're just...

We're not allowed to.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Okay, well...

- What are you...?

Just down here scouting talent.

- You don't happen to sing, do you?

- No. I don't sing.

But I have some friends

that are really talented.

Really? I'd love to hear them.

I can get you their

music if you want.

That'd be great.

That'd be excellent.

Okay. How long

are you in town for?

- Just a couple more days.

- Okay. We'll talk.

- Call me?

- Yeah.

I've heard that before.

If you don't call, I'll call you?

Bye.

So I heard

you had a date last night.

- How did it go?

- It was cool.

We went to the club, chilled...

...you know,

danced and stuff like that.

It was cool. I enjoyed myself.

So do you like

the music here, or...?

Oh, yeah, yeah,

the music is real different.

- I like it.

- Marivi.

Ready?

Okay, I'll see you at home.

See, yo, I don't know nothing

you just said, man.

Talking in Spanish.

Come home soon

because I'm going to cook.

- Really?

- Yes.

Well, then I'll run home.

Give me another beer.

The total is $ 15,

including this one.

Hey, I said it's $ 15!

I already heard you.

Can you settle up?

It's just that I'm about to close...

You will not close because...

I put money in the jukebox...

...I put money in the pool table.

I'm having a drink,

and you're going to throw me out?

- Can I get you something else?

- Margarita, please.

Right away.

This is really good.

I'll be right back.

You know, I never thought that

he would go after your family, Rob.

I'm so sorry.

Look, don't worry about it.

Marivi, she's gonna be okay.

Plus, I know it wasn't your fault.

You know what I'm saying?

I had some good news for you.

The record producer that I met?

He really liked your demo.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna get back inside

and see how she is.

- See you later, all right?

- Okay. See you.

Hey.

I'm sorry, I didn't...

Let's go outside.

How is she?

Yeah, she'll be okay.

They're gonna

let her out tomorrow.

So, what's gonna happen

to the dude who did it?

He'll be dealt with.

Who? You or the man?

There's a way of doing things

in our neighborhood.

She was asking about you.

I didn't know if I should

come in there or not.

I'm happy you did.

- Hey, Vico.

- Vico.

Hey, Vico.

- Yo, Vico, where you going?

- The mayor has a message for you.

- Vico.

- Around here, we don't hit no woman.

- Vico.

- Yo, the mayor doesn't like that, man.

- Beating up on women?

- What were you thinking, huh?

You're not bigger.

The rules are the rules.

So anyway,

as I was saying to C. C...

...you put together

a kick-ass demo...

...but I got a producer who's gonna

take you to the next level. All right?

Okay. But we want to be able to do

our music the way we want to.

Right. And the guy I got in mind,

he's the best.

Best producer in New York.

Peter Black is his name.

Produced Usher, everybody.

And you're gonna love him.

Gonna love him.

Well, let me talk it over

with my business partner.

You should. But you gotta do it quickly

because I gotta get out of town.

- All right, cool.

- All right.

- So you'll let me know?

- I will.

Thank you for seeing us.

Take care.

My pleasure. Thanks, C.C.

All right. I expect a call.

So?

I don't know.

What do you mean

you don't know?

Do you understand

what just happened here, Rob?

I mean, I understand.

But I don't know if you do.

A record executive

just left here.

Wants to cut your record,

you're talking about something else.

Calm down, mama.

Calm down.

Look, Robert,

I think she's right.

What we have to lose?

Yeah!

So it's off to New York.

Yeah, exactly what you wanted.

Actually, it's even better.

- Yeah, why?

- Because you're coming.

Oh, and also because Jeffrey

wants to introduce me...

...to some artist managers

that need dancers for music videos.

Yeah, that's cool.

- That's good, right?

- Yeah.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

You sure?

Okay, well...

...guess I'll talk to you later.

- Okay.

- Phone.

- Bye.

Call you.

Hi, Ma. So we got a producer

who wants to record us in New York.

That's great. What about the guys

that are looking for you?

The producer got us a place to stay

in Brooklyn, so he won't find me there.

- I'll text you the address, all right?

- Okay.

Meet me there. I love you.

Love you too, babe.

Hey, Robert.

What are you doing here?

Well...

I came to tell you

that I'm leaving.

What? You're leaving? Why?

We got a gig back in New York.

- You serious?

- Yeah.

Congratulations.

You know, I've been wanting

to talk to you for a long time.

Something I really need

to tell you.

Have a drink with me.

You know,

when I met your mother...

...I was playing with a band

in New York.

And I...

I was a mess at that time.

Booze...

...drugs.

We had our whole life

in front of us.

One night, after the show...

...Tanya was waiting for me

in the car with you.

You were...

You were just a baby then.

And I got behind the wheel

and I was drunk.

And we had a horrible accident.

Now, thank God we survived.

Tanya didn't wanna speak to me

after that.

She asked me to leave.

So I came down here

to start over.

And I was calling her

and calling her...

...but she had disappeared

with you.

I couldn't play music after that.

And I never again

returned to New York.

It's still all about you.

You know,

it's always been about you.

Look, as far as I'm concerned,

I didn't have a father.

And now all of a sudden

you and my mom decide that I do?

You know, man, maybe if you hadn't

abandoned us in the first place...

...I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Hiding, running.

I'm supposed to be dead.

Robert, I am so sorry.

Just forget it, man.

So I guess

you'll be leaving us soon.

Yeah.

That's too bad.

Well, I just wanted to tell you

that I really appreciate you...

...you know, allowing me

to stay here and all.

And I'm really sorry

about the trouble and stuff.

It's okay.

Look, before you go,

something I wanna show you.

Go in that box, in the corner.
