How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer Page #4

---

I had to send Sal to go pick

them up in the tow truck.

"Them"?

Your mother and Don Pedro.

They're quite the item

these days.

They are not an item, okay?

Don Pedro is being kind enough

to help my mother with...

Um, how much is the repair

gonna cost?

I'll have to order

the window first.

You'll pay me when it's done.

I'll have Sal take you home.

No, no, I can walk...

Sal! Sal!

Get your butt over here!

I want you to take

Mrs. Ramirez...

"Garcia. "

Huh?

Miss Garcia.

I had it changed after...

anyway, it's Garcia.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, give her a lift.

Her truck's staying here.

Let's do this.

Are you doing anything with

my daughter that I wouldn't

approve of?

Maybe.

That means yes.

You love Blanca?

Yes.

Maybe.

Do you want a ride?

No.

That means no.

Yes!

Number seven.

Have you ever kissed a girl?

Do you want to?

You could take the test

again.

No.

I... I think this is it.

Then this is it...

for the driving lessons.

The first time it takes me

a little longer, but it's

gonna be fine.

That's okay.

SOUNDTRACK:

Do you wish we hadn't?

No, not at all.

Hmm.

What are you

so grumpy about?

Nothing.

Then why are you not

talking to me?

Mom, it's nothing.

Ama!

Can you please just put

the groceries away?

Ama!

Ama...

Get out!

No! He can stay!

This is my house, remember,

not yours... not yet!

Do you want me to leave?

Maybe better leave now.

How could you?

Leave.

What?

Leave now.

No.

I will not leave until you tell

me what the hell has

gotten into you.

First the car, and now... this?!

Is...

is that all guys want?

I will not tell you again...

I want you to leave my home.

I have a lot to do.

You want me to leave?

Yes. And don't come back

until you quit acting like

my mom, and more like

my daughter! Go!

Ama?

Mom!

Mom, wait!

Mom!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that you had to see

your grandmother acting

like a whore.

But Mom, you know

that isn't true.

I don't see what

the big deal is.

You don't see what

the big deal is?

I guess you've got more in

common with your Nana

than I'd like to know.

The only reason you're so

pissed off is because you're the

only one who isn't getting any.

Oh!

Forgive me, Father,

I have sinned.

It has been two weeks...

since my last confession.

I have been missing mass...

it's just an innocent

flirtation...

...lessons with a man...

he is the one coming on

to me...

And nothing's happened...

I talk back to my mom

a lot more than I should...

I've had impure thoughts.

...making me feel... sexual.

Anyway, um...

I've been touching myself.

Is it wrong to

touch yourself?

...Sex with a man that's

not my husband!

But the worst thing is...

okay, I should be honest...

...I don't feel guilty.

I let a boy touch me...

down there.

...Kiss me once...

Not at all!

Twice. More or less.

...Really bad, but I...

he was beautiful.

I feel guilty about

not really feeling guilty.

Beautiful!

...Disrespectful to my mother.

Hello?

Yeah?

Um, have you seen Sal?

No, and when I do, I'm gonna

give him a beating that he'll

remember for a lifetime.

Do you see this car?

Sal was supposed to help me

with it, but do you see him?

You should get home.

And don't be letting my nephew

get you in any trouble.

Hey, have you seen Sal?

No, I haven't seen him.

Are you two still together?

I don't know.

I'll tell him you were here

if I see him.

Hey, what's up?

Hey.

I'm gonna go in the video

store and see if Sal's here.

Hey, Victor, has Sal been in

here at all today?

No, but, um...

say hi to your mom for me.

Okay?

Yeah, sure.

Do you think it's true what

people have been saying?

What have people been saying?

Well, you know, that

he and your mom...

Ugh! Rose, don't be stupid.

Have you seen Sal?

No, we haven't seen

no Sal.

Maybe he found

himself another girlfriend.

Blanca!

Let's f***.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Just keep kissing me.

No. Stay.

Sh*t.

What's the use of having

a boyfriend if you still have

to wash your own car?

Hey! Come on, you can't stay

mad at me forever.

Grab the rag.

I'm the one who should

be mad.

The whole town is talking.

Hey! Come on, stop that!

About what?

About me? About you?

Or about your daughter? Huh?

Let them talk.

Driver test?

You know I don't approve.

You'll be glad to know

I failed.

Well, maybe...

Maybe it's for the best,

you know?

You can sell the car, and we can

find you somebody else to, uh,

take care of the lawn, and then

everything can go back

to normal.

No!

No?

I don't want to go back to

the normal, I don't want it!

No!

You know, I just...

I don't understand.

All my life, you've taught me

about right and wrong...

"don't do this, do this, sit

with your legs crossed, don't

sleep around, and if you're

married, we sure as hell

shouldn't enjoy it.

You think what the church

thinks, and if you do anything,

let's not talk about it. "

Well, I live my life like this,

and I turn around, and I do the

same thing for Blanca, and

now... here you are, you're doing

the exact opposite.

What should I tell you?

I... I don't know.

Maybe I was wrong.

I don't know.

It's taken me so many years...

but finally I learned to live.

Ama...

I just wish you would have

figured things out sooner.

You mean...

When I was your age?

Oh, but Don Pedro...

oh!

No, no, no! Okay! Okay!

Okay.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God... oh, God,

maybe it's bad luck to

pray to the Virgin Mary.

No, um...

Our Father whom art in

heaven... please, please,

please God, don't let me be

pregnant. Hallowed be thy name.

Please, please, please.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be

done, I'm so sorry, it won't

happen again.

I mean, I don't know what'll

happen, but I am so, so sorry.

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily

bread, and forgive us our

trespasses, as we forgive those

who trespassed against us.

Yes!

Oh!

Blanca?

I'm okay, Mom!

Everything's okay.

I'm going to work,

I'll see you later.

Okay!

Um, wear a helmet!

Can I, uh...

need a lift?

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Well, when will

your truck be ready?

Oh, who knows?

He keeps jerkin' me around.

Something about ordering

a part.

Look, we're... we're going

the same way.

Oh, no, I'm fine.

The fresh air is... good.

You've got too much pride.

I do not.

Prove it.

This sure beats talkin'

to the wind.

Are you joking?

No.

I don't know...

I... I feel like, you know,

sometimes I'm gonna say

the wrong thing.

I bet you don't.

You don't talk much.

I talk when I got

somethin' to say.

You got somethin'

to say now?

I'm happy just

lookin' at your face.

Just... look straight ahead

at the road.

Okay, Nora, here's yours.

That's gonna be ten dollars.

Excuse me, but I've been

waiting for a long time.

I'm coming. It's right here.

It's right here.

Uh, and you had the carnitas,

right?

I can't believe you women are

going to buy meat from this...

...Ssss!

How can I help you, Iliana?

You could start my leaving

my husband alone. Sss!
