Stop Look, Listen]

You're alone all the time

Does it ever puzzle you?

Have you asked why

you seem

To fall in love,

out again?

Do you ever really love

orjust pretend?

Why fool yourself

Don't be afraid

to help yourself

lt's never too late,

too late to stop

Look, listen to your heart

Hear what it's saying

Stop, look,

listen to your heart

Hear what it's saying

Love, love, love

Though you try,

you can't hide

All the things

you really feel

This time decide

That you will open up

Let it in

There's no shame

in sharin' love

You keep within

So jump on in

Head over heels

and fall right in

lt's never too late,

too late to stop

Look, listen to your heart

Hear what it's saying

Stop, look,

listen to your heart

Hear what it's saying

Love, love, love

Stop, look,

listen to your heart

Hear what it's saying

[Marvin Gaye's

Got To Give It Up]

l used to go out

to parties

And stand around

Cause l was too nervous

To really get down

But my body

Yearned to be free

l got up

on the floor, boy

So somebody

could choose me

No more standin'

There beside the walls

l have got myself

together, baby

And l'm havin' a ball

Long as you're groovin'

There's always a chance

Somebody watchin'

Might wanna make romance

Move your body,

ooh, baby

And dance all night

Do that groovin'

Feel all right

Everybody's groovin' on

like a fool

Music is just for us

Cruising is just enough

l love it

when we lowride together

- What's he so happy about?

- Who said l'm happy?

- Well, obviously not you.

- What, can't a brother sing

a beautiful song, man?

- Oh, well,

if a brother could sing.

- That ain't right.

- You know that was funny.

You know that was funny.

- Yo, yo,

where the brown people at?

- Hey, Pop,

l'll be out in a minute.

- Hey, what do you say

we go grab a couple of burritos

at that taquera,

go watch that Giant-Dodger game

over at Benny's house?

l thought maybe we'd catch

the game, you know,

go get some burrito first.

You going somewhere?

- Yeah, remember?

l told you this morning.

l might be going out tonight.

- Yeah, you said to study.

- Yeah, and then we'll probably

go grab a bite to eat.

- Who's "we"?

l asked you a question.

- You said you didn't want

to hear about it, remember?

- You're right.

l don't.

- A spokesman

for Homeland Security

said it will have

700 miles of fence

barriers, roads,

and lining in place

along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Department

of Homeland Security

announced Tuesday

that it would override

Federal Environmental

Protection Law

in order to finish

the 670-mile border fence.

- Hey, yo, man.

Go ahead.

Turn this motherf***er up, man.

This my jam.

- Yeah.

- You see this?

Check this out.

F***ing joto, man.

- You go ahead, man.

Turn this motherf***er around.

- Man, you're wasting

your time, man.

You some kind of

f*ggot lover now, huh?

- Salud.

Hey, Cinderella.

l'm talking to you.

Oye, Rivera.

- Do you know this guy?

- Don't worry about it.

Let him talk.

- All right, man,

serious, though.

l got, like, one question.

Which one of y'all

wears the dress and plays b*tch?

- l was about to ask you

the same thing.

- l told you to ignore him.

- You say something to me,

fruitcake?

- Yeah, l was wondering

if you were aware

that men who demonstrate

extreme homophobic tendencies

are oftentimes homosexuals

themselves?

- What are you trying

to prove, huh?

- What?

- Damn, dude.

l think he just called you

a f*ggot and sh*t.

- Yeah, man, l think he wants

to suck your dick, homey.

- Stop the car.

l said stop the f***ing car.

- Go get the car.

Go get the f***ing car.

- Suck on this, puto.

- Let's get the f*** up

out of here, man.

- Whoa, what is it, Lena?

What happened?

- Mr. Rivera, there's been

an incident involving your son.

Where's Jesse?

Where's Jesse, man?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

l'm looking for my son,

Jesse---Jesus Rivera.

He's supposed to be in lCU.

- Down the hall

to the right, sir.

- Thank you.

So what did you find out?

- l guess it was

some little vato

who's been hassling him

at school.

There was a witness,

so they picked the kid up,

but who knows if they'll

be able to hold him besides.

You still there?

- l got to go, man.

l'll call you tomorrow morning.

- All right.

- All right.

- Carol Davis, 71 1 5.

Carol Davis, 71 1 5.

- Yeah.

Yeah, he is.

but sometimes

you just break my heart.

- How's my grandson?

- l need to ask you a favor.

- Oh, hey.

- Hey.

- Gracias a Dios.

- Which is, you know,

kind of what l wanted

to talk to you about.

You planning to take back

the car you said was mine

and had no use for?
