Go for It! Page #3

Aren't you gonna do your sh*t

for us tonight?

I don't know.

What, you're too good for us now?

No, man. I just wanna go home

and do my sh*t in the toilet.

- Carmen, you ready?

- Yeah.

- I gotta go.

- Come on, stay, stay, girl.

You just got here.

Come here. Gina!

Come on, let's go. You're late.

Five, six... Jump in.

- Hey, girl.

- Hey.

Where you been? I've been waiting for you.

You have?

Why, what's the matter?

I have a math quiz on Friday,

and I'm not sure about some questions.

- Really? Math, huh?

- Yeah.

Wait. Don't you have homework?

No, I already did my homework.

All right, mama, have a good night, okay?

Bye.

Where are you going? You just got home.

I'm going out.

Enough dancing, hija.

Be home early.

Bye.

What you got, girl?

Loli, you go, girl. You got this.

Loli! Loli! Loli!

No, she didn't.

All right. Hold this.

Do it! Work it, work it!

Work your magic, girl.

Shake it!

Hi.

Hey.

You came.

Where am I?

This is my best friend, Gina.

Hi, Gina, best friend.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Come on. I hope you're hungry.

Hungry? Are you hungry?

What about these?

No.

All right.

So, we're not eating here, are we?

No, but I'm paying, remember?

And I get an employee discount.

What about these?

You know, I think I had those yesterday.

Great.

Great.

- Smell this.

- What is it?

It's a Mexican vegetable.

So, what do you want for dessert?

You know, you better pick,

because I don't recognize anything.

That's funny.

You're serious.

Hello.

So, Jared.

Tell me, where do you live?

Evanston.

Fancy!

Did you get my discount?

I got your discount, girl, and I got mine.

It's two for one tonight.

So you need to put some meat

on those bones.

Because I know

how you white boys like them, okay?

- You saw that? Okay.

- I'll get you tomorrow.

You better.

- Bye, Gina.

- Wait.

Take me with you, yeah?

Love you. Call you later.

I hate this place.

What is it?

It's a big, fat potato chip.

Take a bite.

Come on.

I'll tell you what. I'll take a bite,

but if something happens to me,

- it's completely your fault.

- Fair enough.

Are you okay?

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah. Actually, it's not that bad.

See? Told you.

As long as we don't know what it is.

I told my mom to stop telling me

'cause this one time, she told me

I ate french fries, and they were worms!

Why?

Latin people, we eat everything.

Cow intestines or...

No, I think pig intestines. Cow tongue.

Bull's balls.

Chicken feet.

Beef brains.

- Eyeballs!

- Hey, don't worry about me

'cause that one was real.

Sorry.

So, do you come here a lot?

Yeah.

Yeah, I really do, actually.

- Dance with me!

- You don't want me to do that.

- Why not?

- Because I'll probably kill you.

Shut up. Come on.

It's really easy, okay?

So, you're gonna walk forward

with this foot.

- And then, step back with that foot.

- Okay.

And then, one, two, three.

I am so sorry! Are you okay?

It's fine. Totally fine.

- I am such a clutz.

- It's okay. I'll just wear boots next time.

Just kidding.

Okay, ready?

You know what part I do know?

Wow!

Bookworm.

Stop it. Stop it!

- Quit it!

- I will not quit it.

That's it. Come on!

You are so going down!

- Am I?

- Yes. Yes, you are.

No!

Okay, okay. He's here.

I'll call you later, I promise. Bye.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I hope you're hungry,

because I totally blew off practice today.

Come on, come on, please.

Gina, take out the trash.

You're so beautiful.

So, Carmen, it's great to finally meet you.

Jared's been keeping you quite a secret.

Tell us about yourself.

Dad, she's not one of your clients.

I should hope not.

I sell medical devices, call on physicians.

By the way, what a beautiful name you have.

Carmen. How original.

Are your parents big opera fans?

Is that what gave them the idea?

No. They named me after the saint,

Maria del Carmen.

I have five cousins, two friends, an aunt

and a neighbor's dog with the same name.

- A dog?

- Oh, my.

So, Carmen is an awesome dancer.

She's been showing me

some new dance steps,

- among other moves.

- Really?

Did Jared tell you that

I used to be a dancer?

Well, that was a long time ago.

- You can dance for me any time.

- Honey, behave!

I'm so sorry.

So, Carmen,

what type of dance do you do?

- Hip-hop.

- Hip-hop?

Is that like the old bebop from the '50s,

with just a little bit of cha-cha-cha?

Wonderful!

How are your lessons coming, Son?

Great. Yeah, I think I'm almost ready

for my public debut.

Now, Carmen, tell me,

where do you do your dance?

Logan Square.

Logan Square?

Jay,

people get mugged down there.

People get mugged everywhere, Mother.

Still! Honey, it's not safe.

She's right on this one, Son.

If you're gonna take over the family

business, I need you in one piece.

Sweetie, you know how my anxiety disorder

takes on just at a drop of a hat.

- Do you need a pill?

- Just the other half.

Don't upset your mother, Son.

- For goodness's sake...

- All right!

It's just, I feel like I'm living

in The Truman Show here.

If Logan Square is good enough for Carmen,

then it's good enough for me.

Fine, dear.

So, Carmen,

would you happen to live

in a gated community? Please say, "Yes."

Yeah, sort of.

We have bars on our windows and doors.

How resourceful.

- Hey, girl.

- Hey.

- Hi, Pa.

- Hey, mija.

How's school?

It was good. Had a test today, it was easy.

This came for you.

You opened my mail?

You had no right!

And you have a right to lie to me

and your mother?

Did you hurt someone?

I asked you, did you hurt someone?

You don't understand, okay?

I had to defend myself.

She was accusing me of cheating!

Is this the way we teach you

to defend yourself?

You defend yourself

by getting a good education.

- How would you know?

- Watch your mouth.

You never win by using your hands.

Dad, I can take care of myself, okay?

Like this?

What kind of job are you going to get

if you're always in trouble?

I don't know.

Anything's better than what you do.

I'm gonna stick up for myself.

You're a coward.

You let people step on you, and that's why

you're still picking up garbage.

What are you saying, little puta b*tch?

You think you're the sh*t?

You're no better than garbage.

Shut up and mind your own business.

You're talking to my parents

like some kind of alley rat.

That's my business!

Punk.

I'm a punk? Well, then, you're a loser.

You're 26 years old, and you're still living

with Mom and Dad. That's pathetic!

- You're a loser!

- Calling me a loser?

- Leave her alone!

- Get out of the way!

- Pablo just lunged.

- Get out of here. Oh, my God!

I'm so upset I missed it.

I wish I had a front-row seat. Who won?

I don't know.

I'm proud of you. You got balls, girl.

Sometimes you just gotta fight

for your right to party.

They said it best.

Freedom! Freedom!

Don't worry about her, dude,

don't even worry about her.

She'll be out by midnight, anyway.

You know what I'm saying?

And that's when the fun starts!

We'll party, get ready.
