How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer Page #3

---

Yeah.

What about you?

Well...

I have big dreams.

Yeah?

What are those big dreams?

I don't know.

Do you deserve to hear 'em?

Don't be a smart-ass.

Okay, I'm a smart-ass now,

huh?

So, why did you pick me

instead of any of

my other friends?

I thought you was easy.

No, I'm just kiddin'.

I'm just kidding. Um...

the true Sal comes out.

Well...

I sort of want to show my mom

that I'm capable of

being by myself.

Do you miss, um,

your mom?

I don't...

I don't think I'm ready to

talk about that right now.

That's enough for today.

I just gotta get

something from the back.

Andale.

Psst!

Jose Luis.

Uh, is, um,

is Victor still here?

Who?

Victor. He was in the store.

Um, is he still here?

Come on.

Ah.

You can come out now.

I was just, um...

I know.

Wait, don't go. I got...

I got something for you.

Oh, no, I don't drink.

Oh, let me...

no, I got it.

Happy birthday.

How did you know?

February 10th...

That's my mother's.

December 3rd, that's me...

And today, that's you.

Hmm. That's a short list.

You must miss it...

Your hand.

Only when someone

mentions it.

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

I didn't mean...

No, I'm just kidding you.

Oh. Ha ha.

When I'm with you, I feel

as though I'm missing nothing.

Um...

Oh, my god,

I'm sorry. I, uh, the bubbles...

I... I drank too...

You know, I gotta get going,

'cause Blanca must be wondering

where I am. Okay?

Okay.

So...

Why me and not any

of my friends?

I'm not sure.

It was just something

about you...

The way you look at me.

I don't know.

Your smile...

I just saw something different

in you.

So, why did you get in the car?

I don't know.

I guess I thought you could

take me someplace.

Yeah.

What is that smell?

It's strawberry. Hmm?

Vamanos.

Can't you just ring the

doorbell like a human being?

I shouldn't have to ring the

bell on my own house.

Besides, I know you'd come.

You always came with me.

What do you want, Roberto?

Where's Blanca?

She's with her friends.

Didn't you tell her

I was coming?

Yeah, two months ago.

I guess she got tired

of waiting.

I want her to meet

her new mother.

Maybe she's already met her

at school.

If I squint my eyes when

I'm talking to you, it's like

you haven't aged a bit

since we first met. Remember?

Yes, I do.

And if I close my eyes when I'm

talking to you, it's like you've

never changed... you still have

the stink of other women on you.

I'd leave her in a heartbeat

if you'd take me back.

Don't worry,

she doesn't speak english.

Chinga su madre.

Wait! Wait! Look, you gotta wait

and say goodbye to Blanca.

Just tell her bye for me.

No, don't let me do your

dirty work for you again,

damnit!

Is it gonna be okay?

Oh, it's gonna be fine.

The car is just old...

like us.

It just got too excited.

Why didn't you warn me?!

I would never have driven

so fast!

Calm down, mujer.

The car's going to be fine.

All we have to do is

let it cool down.

How would you know?

You're just a gardener.

So, the car is the only thing

that matters to you!

This is all

so unnecessary.

If we would have just given her

a little bit more time, it would

all be fine.

Don't blame me.

My uncle sent us

to get you guys.

But I'm sure you're right...

About the car.

Whenever they act up, all you

need to do is give 'em

a little time and love.

And before you know it, they'll

be purring like before.

What were you two

doing out here?

What were you two doing

earlier speeding down the

street, hmm?

How have you been treating

my Nana?

Young man, have you been

treating her right?

Nana!

I'm just worried about

your reputation, darling.

Worry about your own.

Will you be going to

the reception?

Beat it, would you?!

You guys are so mean.

Come on, Carla,

give him a chance.

Please.

What's going on between

the two of you?

We just talk and stuff.

Sure.

Hmm.

Did you ever have one?

No. I think they're

a little weird, you know.

It's like you're supposed to be

a woman at fifteen.

I mean, I'm seventeen, and

I still don't feel like...

Anyway, it's just like

practicing for your real

wedding, and I don't ever

intend to get married, so...

you can't know that.

Trust me, it's one of the

things I do know.

It's just like this big setup

for disappointment.

I mean, I've never met anybody

who's ever been happy

in a marriage.

What about your grandparents?

Hmm... I don't think they were

ever really in love.

I mean, if they were,

they sure as hell hid it.

And they were always fighting.

Just like my parents.

Just because your parents

didn't seem to get things right,

doesn't mean that we're gonna

repeat their mistakes.

You really believe that?

God, I hope so.

Are you going to keep on

walking back and forth like

that, or are you coming in?

Hmm.

I didn't know you can make

a soup like this.

I make my soup

the way I like it.

No.

The car is not the only thing

that matters to me.

Maybe you are ready

for the next step.

Put your...

put your leg here.

You're very bossy

with my legs, you know.

You'll see.

Okay, wait.

Wait. Wait, wait!

What?

You were hurting me.

What? Come on.

You liked it, you know you did.

Okay. Whatever.

You're such a kid!

Jeez!

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

Sh*t.

Whoa! Ohhhh!

What the hell...

you punks!

You punks!

Come back here!

Come back...

come back here!

What happened?

I'm gonna call the police!

Oh, god, what happened?

No respect!

Loli, I'm s...

I don't know, these punks,

they were throwing...

throwing... rocks, then they...

and they they hit your car.

Why would anybody

do this to me?

Well, no, they didn't do it

to you, I mean...

They're punks, you know,

they're young kids, they just...

they have no respect,

they just... you know?

SOUNDTRACK:

My truck is over there.

I'll drive you home.

This is nice.

I mean, uh, not what happened

to your car, but, um...

We finally get to spend

some time together.

I have a...

I have a tape deck.

You know? Uh...

Made this tape myself.

From the radio.

Um... I have a headache.

The music's too loud?

No...

You know, I'm really good

with massage...

I'm okay.

...on your neck.

I know the pressure points

to take away your headache,

easy.

I'm good at it, you know,

I, uh, I studied.

Um, everybody says that I'm...

have good hands, you know.

Open the garage.

Do I fit?

Must be... hard...

Not having a man...

around to help anymore.

You know, hard on you.

Mm! Mm! Mm!

Wait, wait, wait...

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Watch... oh!

Oh! Okay. Okay.

Very good.

Ah... Okay.

Thank you...

um... Thanks for the ride.

And, uh...

Um...

Um, okay.

But...

I didn't get to...

I was gonna ask you...

if you...

like...

to be on top.

Blanca?

Blanca, are you home?

Oh.

Oh.

Ah.

Ooh.

(vibrator buzzing,

Lolita moaning)

Juan, buenos dias.

Buenos.

Look what they did

to my windshield.

Let's see.

Hmm...

You know, between you and your

mother, you two keep me

pretty busy.

I don't understand.

Her car broke down.
