From Prada To Nada Page #2

Yo, you're good.

We got your back out here, all right?

All right.

And the other one

with no smile is la Mary.

Nice to meet you, Mary.

It's Mary. And I'm not tipping you.

That's good,

'cause I don't take IOUs.

Go ahead, go ahead. Sit down.

We have wonderful and delicious

churros y chocolates.

This neighborhood used to be Jewish,

then Japanese, then Mexican.

It's totally Calcutta.

Except it's less hot,

and there's a breeze.

- We gotta get out of here.

- And go where?

Four Seasons.

You know what?

There's lice on that mattress.

Then you won't sleep alone.

Why don't you get ready for bed?

Nora, I miss Dad.

Me, too.

That stupid mustache.

It wasn't even original.

It was that Pedro guy.

Infante.

Yeah, Pedro Infante.

But Mom looked more

like that Dolores River lady.

- River lady?

- I don't know her name.

It was del Rio or something.

Yeah. You know what?

She would have looked like

anything Dad wanted her to.

I really miss him, Nora.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't say "sorry".

Don't say "sorry".

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna be okay.

I'm gonna figure it out.

Oh, my gosh.

It's not a dream? Sh*t!

Careful. Last two eggs.

How is it possible

that you don't know the basics?

Do you know how to fly a plane?

Of course not. Why should I?

Right. Well, because you never

had to. I never had to cook.

I'm willing to learn.

Learn to clean.

And then we go out

for a little desayuno.

Not downtown, Carrie.

No, it's worse. East LA.

Will you just get a map, please?

Gosh, you'd think we moved

to another country.

Learning Spanish?

This is the neighborhood.

And don't worry, they speak English here.

Nice to meet you. I'm Rosita.

You need some work.

Come on in.

I have two-for-one special.

What was that?

What is that?

Ay, mija, you better make friends

a new way, hombre.

What? Just a few minutes at Macy's

makeup counter and they'd be fine.

Excuse me, but do you know

how much fat is in this?

What's the matter with you?

You are just like your mother.

Of course. She was smart.

No, mijita.

And what does she do?

Crash in the car.

Don't worry, tia, we're going to be

responsible. You'll see.

I'm going to get a job at a law firm

and Mary's going to graduate.

You're gonna quit school?

Nora, I'm the one

who sucks at school.

I'm going to defer school,

and you need to finish.

- Then, I'll go back.

- Don't worry, Mary.

Nora's not the only one

who's going to have to make sacrifices.

It will take you

to the same places.

Where they will turn me away.

What is he doing here?

Nora? That Edward guy is here.

Hey, yo.

- Yeah?

- You parked the wrong way.

Sorry.

Yes?

Hi. The Dominguez family?

- Are you from police?

- No.

No, no, no. I'm Edward Ferris.

I'm looking for Nora Dominguez.

I will ask her if she's here.

Come in, please.

Thank you.

Wait, please.

It's time for Dodger baseball.

Live from PETCO Park

in San Diego,

Prime Ticket presents the Dodgers

- and the San Diego Padres.

- Hi.

Hi, everybody,

and a very pleasant...

- Hi.

- It's good to see you.

What are you doing here?

Come with me.

That's my dad.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- That's... Be careful.

It's really heavy. - Thank you.

- Careful, please. It's my sister.

- Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry.

- I think it's okay.

- Thank you.

No offense,

but why are you doing all of this?

We can do nice things for each other,

can't we?

Well, yeah, but...

Renting a U-Haul

and picking up all of our stuff

and driving it to the ghetto

is a bit much, don't you think?

Don't forget convincing my sister

to give it all back to you.

Well, you just

don't really seem...

...like the kind of guy

who does stuff for free.

On a professional level, never.

And what level are we, Edward?

Someone must have been watering

his mustache 'cause it's a lot bigger.

You seem to have adapted well

in such a short period of time.

I'm a cockroach.

Survival skills.

- I adapt.

- Okay.

So, what else do you have to do

to survive?

- Find a job.

- You're looking for a job?

There is an opening in our office.

We could stand a cockroach or two.

Thank you.

But you've been nice enough already,

and I will find one by myself.

- Like through the classifieds?

- For example.

Be my guest. And good luck.

Thank you.

"Dentist.

Dance hostess."

Do you think

this is what Mexico looks like?

Here's one.

"Samuels, Birnbaum & Tate."

Corporate law. Perfect.

I'll apply tomorrow.

There's something weird

about that Edward guy, don't you think?

Well, he seems nicer than his sister,

and he offered me a job.

He did?

Well, did you accept?

No. I can find a job on my own.

Nora, in the real world,

it's called hitting on you.

And what does that mean, really?

He likes you.

I mean, why else would

he be doing all this stuff?

I'm sorry.

You're not interested in relationships,

only your 10-year plan,

'cause you're weird.

Well, whatever you think,

I'm not like you.

I can't believe Dad wrote all these

letters and Gabe never got them.

I'm gonna open these and read them.

No, you're not.

- No, no, no, you're not.

- Come on.

No, Mary.

One day,

we're gonna give them to Gabe.

Yeah, in our next life.

- Bye.

- Have a good day.

Thank you. You, too.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Oh, God. Look at this car.

Are you serious?

What are you looking for?

Great bargain, tia.

Thank you.

Hey, yo. Yo!

Stop, stop.

Stop.

- You're gonna drown it.

- Okay.

Don't steal anything.

- You think all Mexicans steal?

- I don't know.

I'm not Mexican.

You're not Mexican?

You should take a look at yourself

in your new mirror.

Because with a poncho and huaraches,

you can make a killing selling tamales.

That's really funny.

- Hey, you know what a distributor is?

- Do I need to?

See, these two cables here,

they come loose.

- Yeah? - Just make sure

that they still connect.

Like your mouth

and your brain should.

Thanks.

Can you do the garden next?

Right after I finish

cleaning your indoor pool.

Mary, slow down.

You don't wanna be late for work.

Here's your bus.

Don't sit in the back.

You will get killed.

By who? A commuter?

Goodbye, Nora.

Goodbye, Mary. Have a good day.

...is right.

We have joined the working class.

Lame!

Thank you.

Sorry.

You live in LA

and not speak Spanish?

Is she okay?

I fired.

Big boss no pay because of mops.

Because of mops?

I borrow to clean hall

for quinceanera.

The quinceanera party, you know?

Then you should have

been given a warning.

I'm a law student,

if that helps at all.

Can you help us?

I can try.

Really?

Thank you.

Welcome to Samuels, Birnbaum & Tate.

Hi, I'm Nora Dominguez.

Congratulations.

You made it to the 26th floor

quite quickly.

I just used the elevator.

Is that what they call it

these days?

He specializes in corporate defense

of product liability.

Your password is "Ferris".

- Ferris?

- Yes, Ferris.

Like Edward, your new boss.

write a little brief,

tell him about how he's gonna make
