How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer Page #2

---

and, um, you know, have

a couple of drinks

or something?

I, uh, I got plenty of beer.

Oh, well, they can

come over too.

They can play over in

Blanca's room.

Oh.

That's okay.

Yeah, I'll see you around.

Okay. Bye.

# (man singing love song

in Spanish) #

Do you think it's true

what they said?

What?

That he can smell a virgin

a block away?

Don't be stupid.

They're just being jerks.

Anything?

You?

A**holes.

Mom.

Mom, come on.

No! God.

Just... no, leave me alone.

Mom, go to bed. Come on.

Up. Up, up, up, up, up.

Oh, jeez.

Come on.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

You know, Mom, you should

really get yourself a boyfriend.

Yeah, like that's gonna solve

all my problems.

No, actually, it wouldn't,

but at least it would give you

something to do on

Saturday nights.

Just keep your legs shut.

What does that have to do

with anything?

Boys your age

only want one thing.

Any age, really.

That is the biggest cliche.

Honey, cliches exist

for a reason... that's because

they're true. 'Night.

All right, good night.

No, no, no!

You're doing it all wrong!

You have to put in the first

gear all the way in, first.

Perhaps my daughter is right.

I'm too old for this.

No, no, no.

No, no.

She's wrong.

Good morning.

Something wrong?

Unh-unh.

I'm sorry about your son.

I know.

I tried calling you, uh,

but, uh...

They told me you weren't

taking calls.

Your mother-in-law said

you were going crazy.

I was.

No mas llorando y fumando,

fumando y llora, y llora

y llora.

I wouldn't eat...

I wouldn't shower...

And my husband had to take

care of my little girl.

I was no longer cooking

for either one of them.

Then I saw my face in the

mirror, and I didn't

recognize myself.

My...

My cheekbones had gotten

so boney.

I tried on my wedding dress...

which hadn't fit me since

the day I wore it,

and it was baggy.

Miguel came home and saw me

like that...

and I told him...

"don't I look pretty?

Just like the day we first met. "

And that was the only time

that he cried.

How did you snap out of it?

I heard my little girl tell

Miguel that she wished

that she had died...

then her mommy wouldn't

be so sad.

I cleaned myself up

that very night.

And that's how it was.

You...

You go ahead and you say hi to

Miguel and Ana for me. Okay?

Okay.

No. No.

Fine.

Lolita, gracias.

Adios.

Um...

Uh, what are you doing here?

Your wife just, uh,

bought some meat a couple

of days ago.

I'm not here for the meat.

Lolita, if you sold beets,

I'd be eating beets every day.

Same thing with ice cream...

all the time.

I don't care... nails, wood...

whatever.

Um, we just...

anything you got to sell,

I would be buying.

We just sell meat here,

so what will it be?

How about a smile?

One. Come on.

A little smile.

All right, give me a pound

of chorizo.

Um, Jose Luis,

a pound of chorizo, please.

So, um...

That'll be a dollar.

A dollar?

A dollar.

It says ninety-nine cents.

I'll give you change.

Thank you very much.

No!

i

Don Pedro is a nice man,

No?

Mm-hmm.

He has been giving me

driving lessons for free.

I know, Nana.

Everybody knows.

Does... does that bother you?

No.

Doesn't have anything

to do with me.

I... I don't know if it's the

heat or what, but when I am in

the car with him, I get

the strangest feeling.

I know what you mean.

When I'm sitting next to Sal

in his car...

I get so electric down there

it's like I have to squeeze my

legs really tight until

it goes away.

Happy birthday, Vieja.

Hey!

Go, go, go, go.

Go get dressed.

No!

We're gonna have breakfast

at Nana's house. Come on.

Hi.

Buenos dias, Ama.

"Happy birthday"?

Ama, say it already.

I don't know what you're

talking about.

How can you go out in public

dressing like that?!

What's wrong with the way

I'm dressed?

I like it.

A woman in your position

would not be seen like that.

And what position is that?

I don't have to tell you.

It's bad enough that you are

all alone and divorced, and now

you're advertising yourself!

They don't buy the cow if they

can get the milk for free.

What?!

Maybe sometimes you have to

show the cow to get somebody

to buy it...

a little.

Go home and change.

I'm forty years old.

You can't tell me what to do.

I'm seventy, and you'll

tell me what to do.

Not that you listen.

I hear that you're still taking

lessons from Don Pedro, and I

told you I didn't think it was

a good idea.

I'm enjoying myself. Hmm?

Where exactly do you think

you're gonna go in this car

of yours?

I haven't thought that far.

That's just it, Ama...

you're not thinking.

I mean, have you ever thought

that maybe it's not such a good

idea that you spend so much time

with Don Pedro?

Not that anything would ever

happen, but...

What would the neighbors say?

I'm going to tell you

what doesn't look good...

that dress.

I can see everything in

that dress.

You stick out up here, and I can

see your underwear line,

and your nalgas.

You should just wear a thong,

because then you wouldn't see

the underwear line, or you could

just wear no underwear.

See the example you set

for your daughter?

See?!

Mmm...

This is good.

I'm going to

take a bath.

Remember to use two pins

for everything,

even the garcons.

I know, I know.

How many times

you gotta tell me?

Do you like?

Hmm?

We need, like, three for these,

Osvaldo.

Look at the two lovebirds.

Shut your hole, Carla.

We've come to rescue you.

Come on.

Where are you going?

Just down Main Street.

Okay.

Good morning.

Special occasion?

Oh, uh... No, I just haven't

had time to do laundry, so this

was the only thing I had

to wear.

Doesn't seem like you.

What does he know?

Nice.

Hi. Ha.

Hey, hey!

You like the dress.

Yeah, I like the...

brings out the red

in your lips.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Whew!

Okay, well, so, let's, uh...

Let's stop playing games,

you and me.

Why don't I come over and pick

you up... In my truck tonight,

and we'll go out, okay?

Mmm.

It's so hot out.

It's always hot.

Get in the cart,

get in the cart!

Yeah, get in there!

Get in the cart.

Carla, get in!

Fine. I'll get in.

Oh, my god!

One of us needs

to get a car, 'cause I'm sick

of walking.

Buenos dias, seors.

This is a good morning!

Do they ever do

anything but sit there?

I gotta go now.

I have to go help my mom at

the raspado stand.

Bye!

See you later.

What now?

We can walk back up.

Are you crazy?

It's f***ing hot.

Hey, Rose.

Freddie says hi.

Nice friends you have.

You're one to talk.

Oh, come on.

You're not mad, are you?

Freddie was just playing

with you guys.

Do you want a ride?

Okay.

So, where are you

really from?

I thought everyone

knew everything around here.

Ohh. To say the least.

I can never really tell

what you're thinking.

Why don't you try harder?

I don't know if you're

worth it.

Yeah, I know.

I could see you're attracted

to me.

It was nice that there was

a cute guy in the front seat,

but... you know.
