Oh, Felipe, easy.

Come on, Jill!

Come on!

Get Jill out there!

Come on, Jill, run!

Run!

Jalapeos. Jalapeos.

Okay, this is yours.

What happened?

Jalapeos! Jalapeos!

Jalapeos?

Did I get it?

Jalapeos.

Go! Run!

Shoot that! Shoot that!

Goal!

Whoa!

It's not a guy.

Felipe, I love it!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Mr. Popcorn.

Is that Al Pacino?

Are you kidding me?

How you doing?

Listen, I got a little

something here

for Ms. Sadelstein.

My God, she's not

here right now.

Oh, that's our loss, isn't it?

Have you any idea when she

might be coming home'?

Hopefully soon.

You know what, I hope so.

I'm waiting on her, too.

And I wanted to tell you, Al,

if she wasn't receptive

the other night...

Oh, my God!

I know she's in here, Popcorn.

How'd you get over the fence?

Jill, come on!

You want me to get you

something to eat or...

All I want to do

is make you happy!

Uh-huh. I want to see you.

I want to know that you exist.

That I'm not just

imagining you!

Al, she really isn't here.

Uh, for real

This it? Yeah.

She sleeps here?

She does. She sleeps there.

Ooh, God, sorry you

have to see that.

She sleeps with someone?

No, no, no, no, that's a bird.

That's not a human.

No problems.

Look at this.

Isn't that something? Yeah.

How does this happen?

Al, I wouldn't lay there.

That's not, uh...

She leaves an after-scent.

Hey, Popcorn, you know,

you're not really giving me

any confidence here.

About what? Where is she?

Al, I don't know where...

Where you hiding her?

She's coming back,

she just is not

here right... Hey, Jill!

Lot of places to hide.

Hey, Jill!

Al, she's coming back,

I swear to you.

She got an 8:
00 flight

tonight, so I promise.

What? She's leaving'?

Uh...

Come here.

Come to you?

Yeah, come, come.

We gotta talk.

Yeah.

You want to turn my name into

some coffee-drink

chocolate-doughnut thing'?

Well, yeah.

Tastefully, though. I think...

Then you get me the girl.

Get you the girl?

Get me the girl.

"Get" is a strong word.

'Cause this is my sister

we're talking about.

You don't understand!

Well, I want to understand.

You don't understand!

Go ahead, go ahead.

Tell me what I need to know.

Your sister and I... Yeah?

We grew up on the same streets.

We breathed the same Bronx air.

Yes, yes, yes.

When I look at her, I see me.

When I look at her,

I see me, too. Just...

I know what you mean.

I see what I was.

I'm lost, Popcorn.

I am.

I go visit my kids,

I can't find them.

Lend up talking to lemon trees.

You know what? I'm lost now.

What does...

Jill... Yes?

Is going to get me there.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just want a shot.

You understand?

Let's get you a shot.

Right.

Only way to get you a shot

is to have my sister stay

even longer out here,

which is amazing news for me.

It's so warm to

be the holiday season.

But thank you.

I really had an amazing time.

Too bad you're

taking off tonight.

I... Well, I have to.

He's abusive to me.

Not physically, 'cause I would

hurt him, but mentally.

And, it's time to go. I know.

Maybe next time you're...

Maybe next time you're

here, if you ever...

Yes? That's... What?

If I ever what?

Well, maybe next time

you're here, if...

Your engine...

Your engine seems to be...

It's a diesel truck,

I'm guessing, right'?

No. Uh...

If you ever want to see

a movie or something...

Oh, my God.

Okay. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, just hold the thought.

I have... I have to go!

I have to really go!

What did I say'?

Oh, no, it's not you,

it's the chimichangas!

They're making a run

for the border!

Oh, you're throwing

chimichanga bombs?

Oh! Oh, God!

Jill, where were you?

Aw, she's not talking

to us still, I guess.

I am not talking to you!

I am talking to Erin!

Erin, I got to go make

some chocolate squirties!

Oh, God!

Oh! Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

Oh, please get there. Yes.

Hey, Jill, can I talk

to you for a second?

No! My bags are packed

and there's nothing left to...

...say.

I spent the day

at Felipe's picnic,

where I finally felt welcome.

By everybody.

I tried this new food

for the very first time.

I'm guessing Mexican?

Yes, Mexican,

Mr. Food Detective!

And Felipe treated me like a...

What, is Evel Knievel

doing wheelies in there?

Hey, so I just wanted to

talk to you about last night

and everything, and...

Oh, my God.

Wow, I, uh...

I was thinking about last night

and all that stuff

you were saying, and...

Are you hot or something?

I just have to, uh...

God Almighty!

I would love for you to

stay a few extra days.

No, I'm going home.

I already told them to turn

my electricity back on.

You can't be alone on...

You can't be alone

on New Year's.

Come on, that's just not right.

You want me to stay that long'?

I thought you were going

on your big cruise.

Jill, I want you to come

on the cruise with us.

Pagogo, I can't believe it.

Of course I'll come with you.

Thank you! Yes! I mean, of...

You want... Yes!

Yes! Oh... Oh, my God!

Poopsie, Poopsie, we're

cruising through Europe!

Welcome to Royal

Caribbean International.

Vacation, all I ever wanted

Vacation, had to get away

Oh, Poopsie, we're not

in the Bronx any more.

This boat has everything!

Oh, my God!

Hello?

What took you so long to pick up'?

Jack, Pacino's called

here three times.

What do you want me to tell the

Dunkin' Donuts people, all right'?

We got five days, Jack, to get

Scarface or they move on.

I know, I know.

Oh, my God!

There's a pool on a boat?

Do you want me to get AI

Pacino on the phone now'?

Tell Pacino I'll call him

tonight at 5:
30, okay'?

And just one more thing.

Yeah, what?

God told me your feet were

on my desk, so get them off!

All you can eat.

Go for it, Poopsie.

Have a chocolate bath.

Where were you?

Oh! All right, it's 5:30.

I got to make a call. To who?

Uh, I got one last business

call to make and then

that's it for me.

I love you. Be back.

Amongst this princely heap,

if any here,

by false intelligence...

Hold me a foe

if I unwittingly...

or in my rage, committed

aught that is hardly borne

by any in this princely

presence, I do reconcile

myself to his friendly peace.

'Tis death to me

to be at enmity,

and desire all good men's love.

Where were you, Popcorn?

What do you mean? It's 5:30.

No, no, it's 9:
30 my time.

I was waiting for you at 5:30.

Oh, it's four hours

the other way.

I just... I got confused. I...

Okay, whatever,

whatever, whatever.

What's going on?

How's she doing'?

We're, uh, we're, uh, we're coming along.

That's how we're doing.

Coming along?

What does that mean, "coming along"?

- What does that mean?

- Come on, wrap it up!

It means we're getting there.

We just need

a little more time.

Put her on the phone.

I want to hear her voice.

Ah, she's not here right now.

This reminds me of that

boat movie with Leonardo.

- Titanic?

- No, the one with the iceberg.

Who is that?

That was, uh, Poopsie.

Why won't you let me talk...
