...conservative for you, OK?

And if that is your decision...

...I respect it.

Its your life, in the end, right?

But...

...I most definitely do not agree.

I dont agree with it.

Why dont you get another donor?

Well I never... Werent you

dying to become a father, honey?

I didnt know that.

Come on. Three Tequila

shots and off you go.

Go, go, go, a bit more.

Cause this one wont take it,

even if it came in a plate.

And you?

- What about me?

Dont want to do it?

- No. Yes?

May I?

Just a little.

Ivana?

Enough.

Oh God, so stressful.

Sorry, Gloria.

Sorry.

OK, my friend.

Girls stick with girls.

And you come here.

Boys stick with boys.

Sorry, sorry, Gloria.

I mean it.

In practical terms, the

one thats giving it...

...her genetics is you, Gloria.

You will be the mom.

No, only to a certain point.

Because our friends are playing God.

Honey, Ivana will give birth,

and its her brother who is...

...donating sperm, right?

Yes, but shell act as an incubator.

Sorry, Ivana, but that is it.

Its like those American ladies

who rent out their womb...

...and then give the kid...

...to Ricky Martin.

Well, yes.

No. Chema, no.

Our cause is different.

Its got nothing to do with it.

Sure. Besides, I also think...

...than neither Ivana,

nor any other woman...

...can be a simple incubator.

I mean...

...from the moment shes

inseminated, the product...

...eats from her, and

it depends emotionally...

...and physically from her.

But it isnt hers, hon.

Of course Id also

be that babys mom.

Course she is, Chema.

Shed be the mother.

The baby is connected to her.

Its inside her, for Petes sake.

- Hey...

...dont you think this subject

has run dry? Lets quit it, OK?

OK, but one more question.

Oh, for...

- Just one more question.

Why not do it the

old fashioned way?

Each one uses their own egg.

Because we dont feel like it, OK?

- No, actually...

...whats going on is...

...Gloria is doing really

well in her job nowadays...

...and...

...it just wouldnt be very

prudent to get pregnant, right?

Besides, Ivana is 27 and Im 42.

Sure.

- Makes any sense.

Yes, totally right.

Some cold blood, right?

Next thing we know, ones

going to be able to order...

...a baby on the Internet.

- OK, stop it.

Sure.

To the future moms.

- Cheers.

To the future moms.

And to Georgioildonatore.

Now you speak Italian.

Me, donor?

Hey, changing the subject a bit...

...we have something important...

Actually, I have something

important to tell you.

Oh, no, no more.

Mercy, please. Mercy.

I knew this wasnt

going to end well.

What did you think?

That she was going to kick

the crack habit in a spa...

...with a few aspirins?

Come on.

Course not.

But I didnt think this dumb

b*tch was going to run away.

Im so cold.

Switch the heat on. Its cold.

Oh.

Calm down. Calm down.

- What do you want?

Im not going to mug you.

Did you come see the kid?

Remember me?

The boy isnt here.

Oh. No?

- No.

Well, I figure he is.

Look...

...youre not his mothers.

Nina desperately wants her son back.

Im going to help her get him back.

We can do this the easy

way, or the hard way.

So if you dont cooperate...

...Im going to sue you

for kidnapping him.

And then youll go to jail.

You have no right to take

him from his mother.

Dont be such a**holes.

Nina cant handle him.

Thats not your problem, mama.

The boy can stay with me...

...while she gets better.

- Is that right? You f***ing junkie.

You calm down, OK? If you

dont want a fist to the face.

I want that boy at

Ninas tomorrow, got it?

Got it?

- Yes, yes.

I dont know what to do.

If to give the boy back to

his mother or report her...

...or if to give him to the

police or the authorities.

Hendrix isnt leaving this house.

Heard me?

Yes, I did.

But we cant do this.

The mother wants him back.

Come on.

Shall I remind you that his mother

is a junkie that abandoned him?

That isnt our problem?

Do you know the trouble

were stepping into?

We should have thought

about it beforehand.

Too late, honey.

Good night.

The boy leaves

this house tomorrow.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Fine.

If he leaves...

...I leave with him.

We cant do anything.

Cant we?

Whos preventing me from doing it?

HOLY CROSS CHILDRENS HOME

Whats up?

Why are you shutting down?

Cause Im done.

Youre really

drunk, arent you?

No, Im fine.

I just had some drinks

with a few clients.

Im going to take a bath.

I feel hot.

As we do every month,

we have a parent over...

...to talk about his job.

It is Hendrixs turn now.

He asked us to invite his dad over.

Quiet, please.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hello.

My name is Jose Maria,

but you guys...

...can call me 'Chema'.

Im Hendrixs dad.

OK.

Im going to tell them

a bit about what I do, OK?

Yes.

Alright.

Right now...

...Im a homemaker.

My job is...

...to keep the house

clean and tidy...

...and make this little

fellow do his homework.

And all the things that

normally a mom does.

But it wasnt always like that.

Im a designer.

And some years ago, I was a model.

The kind you see modelling clothes

in magazines and commercials.

Have you seen that?

- Yes.

Just like that.

Pablo, please.

Is it true Hendrix has two dads?

Yes, it is.

His other dad is called Jean Paul.

And hes a great publicist.

Alex.

My dad says youre gay.

Do you know what that word means?

Alright, look.

A gay person is a person who likes...

...another person of the same gender.

So a man that

likes another man.

Or a woman that

likes another woman.

But if you have any other doubts...

...ask your daddy.

- Well, that would be it.

Sadly, Hendrixs dad has to go...

...so lets see him off

with an applause, please.

Lets take things as they are, Tomas.

Goodbye, guys.

- Leave, please.

Goodbye.

Okay, kids.

Why doesnt Hendrix have a mom?

I do.

But shes on a trip, right?

Wasnt she in the hospital?

Well...

...that hospital is in the USA.

Is she sick?

She left to have

some tests done, Pablito.

And you two are his moms husbands?

No, Pablito.

It is not like that.

Hendrix has his mom,

and he also has us.

Eat, boy. The foods

going to get cold.

I am eating.

Dont be stubborn. That guy

is not going to stop bothering us.

Dont you get it?

What do you want me to do?

Give him the boy?

I will not.

Its George.

Hi, George.

- Hello.

You scared us, man.

Hi.

Hi.

What happened?

Did you get the contract?

Yes, I wanted to

talk about that.

Couldnt be in another moment?

I mean...

- No.

No.

Its just...

Ive been thinking...

...I dont think its

going to happen, OK?

What?

- Just like that.

Im embarrassed and sorry,

but I think you girls...

...should start searching

for another donor because...

...I cant. Its too complicated.

- Hold on, hold on.

What do you mean, its not happening?

We had made a deal.

Im so sorry, sweetie. Im

sorry, but its too complicated.

Dont f*** with me,

George, okay?

Dont do this to us.

I just bought the tickets to Houston.
