Night and day.

If life gives you...

...more than five minutes

of pleasure.

If life gives you...

...more than five minutes

to forget.

...you strain yourself.

Night and day.

...you strain yourself.

Night and day.

...you strain yourself.

...you strain yourself.

Papi?

Don't be shy, papito.

Papi?

No, please.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Please.

Where are you going?

Stay.

If I see you around here again,

I'll call the police.

Yes?

How many are you?

Two?

Together, 100.

100. 50 per head.

Where are you?

Caye!

You work around here?

Across the street.

Caye...

Friends of mine from work.

Hi.

Hello.

How are you?

Fine.

Like always.

I'm meeting someone.

Here?

A friend.

Manuel.

I'll be right back.

He's the one

that gives me the software.

What about you?

Me?

They have liqueurs inside,

they're my favorites.

That means he knows you well.

I prefer flowers,

they're less fattening.

Have one, Caye.

The red ones are delicious.

Next week we have to go see Dad.

Well, Mom?

I don't know if I'm going.

Why?

It's inconvenient.

Anyway, he won't know.

But we go every year.

That's another reason. If I don't

go this time it doesn't matter.

And I don't want to talk about it.

But we have to talk about it...

...and decide how to do it.

And we have to take flowers.

Anyone know a florist?

Mom?

You could get them.

Maybe they'll give you a discount.

I don't understand you.

Obviously you don't.

I don't understand you either.

There's a day, you'll see.

One awesome day.

On that day

everything is good.

...you see the people

you want to see...

...eat your favorite food...

...and everything that happens

Is what you want to happen.

If you turn on the radio,

your favorlte song is playing.

If you go on a TVgame show...

...you win everything.

Money, trips... Everything.

Mark my words...

...everything.

It happens once in a lifetime,

so you have to be ready.

Or you'll miss it.

It's like a detour.

Llke when you're on a road

and come to a detour...

...but you're talking on your cell...

...or arguing or thinking

about something...

...and don't realize

and you miss it...

...and you're screwed

because you can't turn back.

Well, that day is the same thing:

A detour.

And you can choose how things

will be from that day on.

Either you take the new route,

or you don't.

That's why we have

to be ready, Zule.

There are too few

good things in life.

And if you miss them because you're

thinking about something else...

...that would suck.

That would really suck.

They call me Caye,

walking the street.

The mischievous, the oh-so-lost.

They call me street.

Street by night, street by day.

They call me street,

today so tired, today so empty.

Like a little machine

walking the big city.

They call me street,

I get In your car...

...they call me street

ofjoy and sorrow...

...aching street, tired street

from so much loving.

I go down the street, up the street...

I won't come down,

not even for life.

They call me street

and I'm proud of it.

I know my day will come.

Luck will find me some day.

One day he'll be there

to pick me up...

...after work, that good man...

...my lifelong love

who won't need to pay.

My heart's not for rent.

They call me street.

They call me street.

Suffering Street,

Sad Street from so much loving.

They call me street.

Street and street.

Are you going to charge yours?

Tonight we're not whores.

Tonight we're princesses.

EXOTIC AFRICAN BRAIDS

You must teach us

how to walk like you.

Maybe then we'll get more work.

There are ways...

But you have to start

when you're young.

Was it scary on the raft?

You don't have to use

sign language, Caren.

And people come

from America by plane.

I flew into Holland.

From there I came down here.

Rosa, you can help her out.

With her papers. You have contacts.

Rosa has screwed ministers.

And gone to parties

and seen all kinds of things.

Why don't you call someone?

It's not the way things are done.

And it's a load of bull.

Tell us one name.

Just one name that we can believe.

I can't.

Because you're lying.

I can't.

I signed a contract.

Really?

A non-disclosure form.

They made you sign?

And they always frisk me before,

just in case.

He's that important?

One day I'll bring it

and you'll be sorry.

The phantom menace.

She's said it so many times.

Know what their problem is?

They haven't traveled like us.

What do you expect?

Where are you from?

The Dominican Republic.

Boca Chica.

I'll see what I can do.

While you're at it, can you check

my business license too?

Somebody wants you, Zule.

Can you take over?

I'll give it a try.

She's all right.

You don't come from

Santo Domingo on a raft, Caren.

It's in America.

I know.

I got nervous.

What's that?

It belongs to my friends.

Are you here alone?

I'm with you.

You like it?

Very much.

It's sancocho.

We cook it for our boyfriends

as a sign of commitment.

I'm kidding.

Why do you work in the van?

It's not work. I'm a volunteer.

I'm still a student.

Then why do you do it?

I like it.

I like you girls.

Well, some more than others.

A volunteer...

How lucky.

Just when I needed one.

Turned out tasty.

We have to leave at 8, volunteer.

I can't explain.

Gently.

Gently, papa, please.

What's wrong?

It's difficult for me.

Vallejo, Zulema?

Yes?

When they come out, you can go in.

I went for some tests.

What kind?

Everything.

How's Manuel?

The same.

Sometimes I get carried away.

We're taking a little time off.

And your volunteer?

Just as bad.

Did you know that the sea here

is very important?

There's no sea here.

Exactly.

That's why everyone

thinks so much about it.

Things are not important

because they exist...

...but because people

think about them.

Like your son.

He's not here but you think

about him every day, don't you?

That's why he exists.

Because you think about him.

That's what my mother says.

We exist because someone thinks

about us, not vice versa.

She says someone said it...

...but I think she made it up.

She makes everything up,

when it's convenient.

Actually, I...

I don't believe in God much...

...and I'm not religious or anything.

My mother is...

...but I'm not.

The only thing is...

I've been thinking, you know...

And I think that...

Well, the worst thing isn't...

...wouldn't be if there was

nothing after death.

The worst thing would be

if there was another life.

Another life like this one.

Zulema Vallejo.

Go through. The doctor

will be with you shortly.

Where are my results?

They'll bring them now.

Make sure she looks great.

She has to knock them

off their feet when they see her.

Are you glad about leaving?

I'd like to leave too.

And open an eating house.

Yeah, a cock-eating house.

Hey, I'd be great at it.

And Mamen would come with me.

Wouldn't you, Mamen?

What's this?

I can't believe it.

It's too much!

What a b*tch!

Unbelievable! Incredible!

How fancy!

I knew it!
