the motherfuckers there.

Yeah, but you do dumb sh*t.

Like what?

Like being dumb.

You don't know what's up, man.

Oh, I do know what's up.

What's up?

I know what's up, I'm

not in school anymore.

Yeah, I talked to Miguel today,

he got transferred

over to El Paso.

Oh, really?

Yeah it sucks,

like, I have to

drive four and a half

hours just so Ty

can see his dad now.

That sucks, yeah.

I mean, I can't afford the gas

and I can't even

freakin' get a job

because nobody's gonna watch Ty.

My mom...

Yeah, so.

I don't know, I was

thinking maybe I'd start

dancing professionally up there.

I think you can

do that, you're pretty hot.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You think I'm alright?

Yeah, show us your mad skills.

I don't know, I

might be too shy.

Can I be your DJ?

Yeah you can be my DJ,

we're bringing the KAOSS pad.

What can I be?

You can be my bouncer.

Bouncer?

I'm too skinny to be a bouncer.

Me and Jess, dude, that'd be

like the worst bouncers ever.

You could be my makeup artist

and do my makeup.

I don't know if I'd

be good at that, but...

How's Inez doing?

Uh, she's doing good.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Her parents are

pretty cool, right?

Her mom's pretty cool,

her dad's a dick though.

Yeah, you just don't like him

'cause he doesn't

let you f*** her.

Yeah, well, that's nothing

he can stop me from doing.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Are you guys gonna

go all the way?

Yeah, hopefully soon.

Kill the roach, man.

I need to give you a f***in'

Happy Birthday present, right?

You do? It is my birthday.

Yeah, it is.

I'll think of something.

I can't believe you're hanging

out with me on your birthday.

There's nothing

else to do in this town.

Well, I didn't even get

you a birthday present.

You don't have to.

Maybe I should give you

a birthday strip tease.

I need help practicing

for my new job.

Being a stripper?

Mm-hmm.

So, you have to tell

me what you think.

Miguel's gonna kill me.

Come on, you know,

he's the one who's in jail.

Hi.

Hey, Tom.

Uh, I'll have a number

two, can I add some

cheese and some

jalapeos on that?

Sure.

Anything else?

Yeah, I'll have a diet Coke.

Okay.

So, how you been?

Good, working all the time.

Working all the time?

You're always so happy.

I'm not happy, I'm a waitress.

When's your next day off?

Saturday.

Saturday.

Yeah.

I was wondering, think

I could take you out?

Sure.

How 'bout 7:
30?

Yeah.

Sweet, I'll pick

you up at 7:
30

and make sure to

bring that smile.

So, um...

What do I owe ya?

$4.00.

$4.00.

That was hot.

You've been a naughty boy.

Can I spank you?

If you want.

How's it going?

I haven't seen you in awhile.

These past couple of

months have been pretty hard.

My cat got really sick and he

died actually a few weeks ago.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it was pretty

wild discovering exactly

who he was to me and why he

came into my life, you know.

He knew all along,

but I had no idea.

I guess, I mean,

he was already four

years old when I

met him, you know.

I only had him for

two and half years

and those two and a

half years, you know,

discovered that, well, he

was born and his mom had

abandoned him and

he needed a mom.

So, he came to me,

but discovered that we

had several past lives

together, really traumatic ones

that we both needed to heal

before he could move forward.

Yeah.

And it was probably

one of the most intense

things I've ever

experienced, too, and...

Oh.

He died in my arms peacefully,

it was really

profound getting to

- I'm sorry.

- - see him take his

last breath,

it's okay, you know.

He was suffering so

much, he had cancer.

And now he's everywhere,

you know we attach

so much to the

physical, you know.

I just realized that

now he's everywhere,

that he's always with me.

There's

something reassuring about that.

Right.

I think, as hard

as it is to lose them

in the physical world to know

that they're still there.

A friend of mine offered

to let me bury him at his

ranch and I had a really

beautiful ceremony there

and buried him in

between two trees and...

put him back in the

earth, you know?

- To let him grow.

- - It's funny,

I couldn't

do that, remember Jasmine?

Mm-hmm.

The too? When she died, she

died in my arms here, too.

Uh-huh.

And there's something

about the harshness,

I don't think she

was meant for here.

Right.

I just, I couldn't deal with it.

I couldn't put her

in the ground here,

I didn't want her

here and her mate was

with us when she died

and we're really still

and I wrapped her in

this beautiful scarf.

Mm-hmm.

And I put her in a box

in the freezer actually.

Oh my goodness.

Because I was taking

her back to New York

and I didn't know

how to preserve her.

I just, every core

of my cellular being

would not allow me

to leave her here.

Right.

I didn't think it was

good, I thought the place

had a bad spirit, so I put

her in this box, I froze her.

Which sounds a little harsh,

but one day I had her mate

on my shoulder, Gucci,

and I opened up

the freezer to get

something out and

he saw the box.

He had watched me do everything,

he was very intently

focused on me wrapping

her in this scarf and

placing her in the box

and he flew in the

freezer and he spread

his wings over and

kind of was crying.

And it just killed me.

Oh my gosh.

So, it still does.

Yeah, sure.

But anyway, we got her

to New York and I flew

her there and, you know,

she was almost thawed out

when I got

to the house

and we put her in the ground.

So, and she's there and

I feel good about it.

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Good.

Yeah, wow, they just

have such an impact

on your life.

Well, I have several teachers.

I mean, you come

from a long line of healers.

I mean, my dad's

side, natural healers,

um, come from Mexico, but um...

Hey!

Hey, guys.

How's it goin'?

Good, how are you?

Good, good to see you.

- Hi.

- - Hi, Rodrigo.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Hi, I'm Tina.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So, what kind of

healer was your father?

Oh, well, my dad's dad was

what they call a huesero.

Hueso in Spanish means bone, so.

Hueso?

Hueso, so people at

the village would come

to him with their ailing

bones and he would, like,

kind of like a chiropractor,

pop them back in place

and do massage and limpias,

which is, you know,

cleansing of the energy field.

And so yeah, people

would do that

and I don't think he

would charge anything.

Mm-hmm.

Often times healers in

villages don't charge,

they just, by donation, yeah.

What's sound healing?

Well, basically

they say that the world

is sound and everything in it

is and responds to vibration.

Whatever experience it is

that you're remembering

or that needs healing, sound

I've discovered is the most

profound way to help move

that, to help clear that.

Mm-hmm.

Um...

Would I make, would you teach me

how to make noises, like

sounds to help me heal myself

or would it be like something

you would do for me?
