if they start charging tuition.

Bu! you won't, right?

Middle Earth.

Those are the History majors

and all the Anthropology students.

They spend all day

playing role-playing games,

drawing miniatures

and dreaming they live in Beverly Hills.

This is my work.

When's the last time you talked

to your real brothers, to your mom?

What about you?

You only call them

to ask for money.

Ana, your folks were here

during the incident of '68.

My mom didn't even finish junior high.

She doesn't understand this.

BE CULTURED TO BE FREE

JOSE MARTI:

Yes, give me some.

Is it okay?

Can I grab a piece of bread?

Cool. Thank you.

Mom sent Tomas

for me to take care of.

- Yeah?

- For a while.

So why haven'! you come to see me?

You're an idiot.

Let's go to your department,

and you can show me your thesis.

Forget it, man. It's too far.

So, what do you think of all this?

Hey, Sombra, I'll go with Tomas.

Okay, man.

- Want to meet up later?

- Sure.

Well, I don't know,

it's more organized.

What about me?

You're the same.

Skinnier. Stinkier.

Come off it!

- Don'! you miss school?

- No.

- Do you?

- Sometimes.

- Why don't you go to another school?

- I'd rather not.

What's your thesis on?

On molecular diversity in rhizoids

and their symbiotic genes

as indicators of the degree of conservation

and the potential

for restoring tropical forests.

Faster.

This is it.

Was it.

Are you stupid, or what?

I'm sorry.

What is he doing?

What are you doing, idiot?

What are you doing?

Pumas!

TODAY?

What would Siqueiros say?

He'd probably agree.

Nothing lasts forever, Ana.

Everything gets destroyed.

- Who are we going to see?

- Are you coming with us?

Epigmenio Cruz.

Who is that?

I've never heard anything like that.

Once, he made Bob Dylan cry.

Well, let's go.

The zoo opens a! 10:00.

Let's go to your house first.

All I need are some cold brews,

music and to get out of here.

There are only two beers left,

and they are warm.

We'll buy some at Oxxo,

and we'll listen to Epigmenio

in the living room.

The stereo doesn't work.

Then we'll watch a movie.

The TV doesn't either.

Wait a minute, man. Chill.

Give me some smokes.

Sorry, I'm closing.

The ones that -

You won't?

For real? For real?

He says he's closed.

There are people in there, man.

Just a pack of cigarettes.

Really. For real?

You're not going to sell us

some cigarettes?

- What's up with him?

- I think he doesn't have a tongue.

- He's a mute.

- Let us in.

Can you talk?

Teach him how to talk, man.

- Can you talk?

- I can talk.

He'!-

- Don't be such a dick.

- Tongue fight!

- Don'! be such pricks with Cranky.

- Don't be like that.

- What's going on?

- Hey, dude, some f***ing beers, man.

What's up? We just want him

to let us buy some cigarettes.

He already closed it.

The only thing he closed

was his mouth.

Bu! he's working.

You and your beers

aren't going to give us a break.

He's working, let him he.

Don't touch me.

Why are you touching me, son?

Penaloza, Penaloza.

Friend!

- How's it going?

- What's your beef with him?

Nothing,

we just want some cigarettes.

- They're closed already.

- Relax. We're going to a party.

We're going to Diego's movie premiere.

What's his name?

Darrida, Barrida? Darriba.

Darriba.

It's the premiere and we have passes.

- Come with us.

- No, I'm with my friends.

Come on, bring Grumpy.

What are you looking at, Sombrilla?

You said you wanted to party, right?

Then, grin and bear it.

Let's go back to the

Young and the Damned.

- The tone is better.

- Much nicer.

What happened?

Did they cut your hair?

- Don't be mean.

- Sorry.

Don't I look like Jaibo?

Yeah, but nastier.

Just do like this, look.

When you talk or say anything,

cock your head.

And say things with truth from inside.

From within,

even if your body doesn't obey you.

Now, some more accents.

Let me see.

There's the Indian

from the golden age of Mexican cinema.

You play the part so well,

better than anyone.

Better than anyone in this car.

Let me see.

Me as indio 'film:

and you as Miss Mafia.

Are you sure it's (his way?

Yes.

It's there, isn't it?

It looks like this is it.

CENTER:

I don't buy I! at all.

L! isn't showing (he Mexico

we should be showing.

I thought it was a recipe

for living a lie.

I don't think so. I think

it's a very particular point of view.

- It's bullshit!

- It's the unseen Mexico.

The people who attend

festivals are like this.

Ana.

I'm glad you made it.

Hello.

This is the director

I was telling you about.

To Diego.

- What's your name?

- Ana.

- Ana, are you an actress?

- No.

Good.

F***ing Mexican cinema.

They grab a bunch of beggars,

shoot I! in black-and-white

and say they are making art films.

And the f***ing directors, not content

with the humiliation of the conquest,

go to the Old World

and tell the French critics

that our country is full of pigs,

derelicts, diabetics, sellouts,

thieves, frauds,

traitors, drunks, whore-mongers,

people with inferiority complexes

and the precocious.

And it is.

But if they're going to humiliate us,

they should do it with their own money,

not with the taxpayers' money.

Have you seen the movie?

Listen...

shall we go, or do you want

to slay here with the upper classes?

How about you?

You seem right a! home.

You don't need Furia to fit in here.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I mean, I don't think

you'd bring him here.

He might ruin your reputation

with your friends.

What's the matter with you?

Damn it!

Cool it!

Help me get out.

Little seals.

Okay, geros, out you go.

You can't be in there.

Why not?

Pools are for swimming, aren't they?

You can'! be in there.

And who are you calling gero?

Please, get out.

Firs! tell me

who you were calling gero

because I don't see any here.

Who did you call gero?

- Get out.

- Do I look like a gero to you?

- Am I gero?

- Yes, please get out.

So is the gero too, a**hole?

Is this what you call gero, you dick?

Does he seem gero to you?

This guy is gero?

Tell me if (his guy is gero.

Get out, you can't be in there.

Tell me yes or no, a**hole.

- Is this guy gero or not?

- Yes, get out.

Cut the bullshit, man.

What the f*** are you?

Color-blind.

Yes, color blind and dumb.

We just -

We just came to clean the pool.

You can use I! now.

Good night.

That's it. That's it.

What's up?

Santos.

You have to help me push.

Bu! I can't.

There's no one here.

What shall we do?

Wait.

That's my story, brother.

I come from a sad, poor country,

where they train four-year-olds to kill.

There are Mexicans

in the guerrilla group there.

L! was hard. I lost family members,

hut I didn't lose myself.

I don't know how to thank the Mexicans

who gave me bread and shoes.

Forgive me, I feel like crying,

but the people here don't know it.
