Pulling Strings Page #2

I thank the heavens.

The beautiful feeling.

I felt.

Canicas, boss, with an S.

Canicas with an S, as in "stupid. "

This thing is over. Let's go.

I'm Canica for you.

You can call me whatever you want.

Damn.

Look at this.

You look so serious denying visas

and now you're all drunk in the streets.

That's right.

So...

Blondie.

Let's go!

- Like a dog?

- Let's go!

Come on. Like a dog!

Denying visas and I try to help her.

Damn, bro.

Thank you!

Could you take me...?

Hey, guys, good night.

She drank too much.

She drank too much.

We come from Garibaldi, from work.

Damn, come on.

If your girlfriend pukes in my car,

you'll pay for the car wash.

- Yeah, sure.

- Where are you going?

Don't shake her up.

I guess you're having

an international guest at home tonight.

Who's this?

Hello?

Is this the ant roller skate factory?

I have a problem.

My house is full of ants...

...and they all want their roller skates...

That means "oh, my God," Dad.

You better get ready for school.

- In a case where the...

- I brought some bread. Oh, sorry.

The door was open.

I didn't see anything. I'll go now.

- Well played, bro.

- No, I...

That's the gringa that didn't look

at you at the embassy, right?

She says she lost a computer.

- Mac or PC?

- It doesn't matter.

Mac. A Mac.

Life can change in a minute, right?

It could be around here.

Did you look back there?

What?

Yes.

Do you want some bread?

Gross, she's throwing up.

Yes, we know that.

Go get ready for school.

Okay, this is strange.

Or something like that.

We'll give her a lift.

Us? Let's see.

Did you score yesterday?

Nobody scored.

Then there's no obligation.

She can ride a cab.

You're very rude.

I've got a plan. Listen.

She denied my visa.

- Yes.

- If I keep her close to me...

...I could convince her. It's for Maria.

You are really stubborn.

Does Ninel work today?

Ninel always works.

If she's calling to the United States,

she's going to finish her credit.

Feel her vibe.

She's going to give bad vibes to Ninel.

I don't speak English

but she doesn't speak well.

Bro, what's that thing

of seeing yourself?

- Decree.

- Yes, but in English.

You go over to my car. Go over then.

Calm down, bro.

Let me guess. She's buying beer

and then she'll give you the visa.

Relax, she's coming back.

You scared me.

- I'm sorry.

- God.

Hi, how are you?

- Fine.

- Good.

I was here last night for the party.

- Last night.

- Oh, yeah.

You were really drunk.

- S, yeah.

- Yes.

I wanted to ask...

...do you have a black computer?

A computer?

- Yes, is it here?

- A briefcase?

You're lucky, blondie.

- I have it right here.

- Is it here?

It's very, very important.

Don't tell me you have a plan.

Of course I got a plan.

While I help get her computer,

I'll show her I deserve the visa.

I fill all the requirements.

Solid income...

...land, family links...

...professional success.

- Yeah, nice plan.

- I know.

And how are you going

to demonstrate that?

What do you mean?

What are friends for?

Here it is.

- Give it back then.

- Okay.

Cosme, it's Alejandro.

How are you?

Hey, Alex!

How are you?

Sure, whatever you ask.

Just in the taxi?

Oh, Alex, you're a mad man.

You know it. Just tell me.

See? Drafted.

Drafted?

We have no money and now...

We're not paying, stupid.

They're friends.

This is strange, Alex.

You're forgetting...

...that girl never asked for your help.

She never said that. Never.

And I think...

I think she's not coming back.

Who are you waving at?

We're not here to flirt.

Not for being polite

I'll stop being horny.

And she's a fine lady.

What are you doing? Canicas!

It's rude not to say hi.

Canicas!

I know...

Where should I drop you?

I have an appointment

for a relaxing massage.

I'll see you later.

Hey.

Is Cosme coming?

Two tingas, please.

And two horchatas, please.

Thank you.

How's your business?

- My dear partner. It's going great.

- Partner.

- It's going great.

- I'm glad.

See?

I'm even wearing my suit.

- Hi.

- Hi.

It's a pleasure. It's a pleasure.

The pleasure is mine.

Are you a mariachi?

Me? Mariachi? Thank God I'm not.

Hey! We're considered world heritage.

Please have some respect.

And I have good news for you.

I talked to my contact

from the Reforma-Downtown route.

They found your unit.

- That's good news.

- And the driver found a computer.

A computer.

A Macintosh with blue cover.

And who has it?

I have bad news.

What do you mean?

The driver gave it to...

Margarito.

To somebody.

- Did he give it to Margarito?

- Yes.

What?

I don't want to get involved with police.

We're good, Cosme. She has a plan.

Sit please, Cosme.

Hey Alex, can I order tostadas?

Sure, order.

Can I have one of chicken

and one of meat?

And two tingas to go.

Is that all?

Okay, Canicas, La Bikina then.

- La Bikina?

- Is that fine?

- Okay.

- Let's do it!

Alone, La Bikina walks.

And people start to murmur.

They say that she has a sorrow.

They say that she has a sorrow

That makes her cry.

Haughty, gorgeous and proud.

She doesn't let anyone console her.

She shows off her beauty.

Passing by looking at us

But she doesn't mind.

La Bikina.

Has a sorrow and pain.

Calm down, girls! Calm down.

Calm down, please.

Calm down, ladies!

Make a line. Prettier at the front.

Alejandro! Alejandro!

The pretty ones,

only the pretty, lady.

Make a line. One by one.

The pretty in the front.

- Only the pretty, lady.

- Alejandro!

He has to rest his hand.

He has to rest his hand.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Alejandro, I want to have your baby!

Thanks!

"I want to have your baby"?

When did I tell you to say that?

I just wanted to make it seem real,

Uncle Canicas.

Things will get real

when I tell your mom.

Thank you!

You calm down,

take your little friends, and thanks a lot.

Damn, Stephanie,

you said it was "El Potrillo. "

Rulo, how are you?

I'm good, Alex.

- Rulo.

- Canicas.

Where's Mr. Gus?

Your manager? He left this.

That's for last night.

Your manager, right?

- Yes.

- A good night, huh?

- Tuesday was better, remember?

- Of course.

Sure. Sure.

Rulo, where's Mr. Gus?

He had to be here. Where is he?

He is not here.

- About your thing...

- Yes.

He said you should talk

to Margarito back there.

What's with that check?

It's fake.

I know it's fake.

And now Mr. Gus is our manager.

Come on, bro, you're getting

everybody involved in your lies.

Look at that poor gringa.

You'll have bad consequences.

I'll leave you.

I'll go make some public relations.

Mr. Margarito.

Cosme and Mr. Gus sent us.

Thank you.

My friend here lost her computer.

Right? And we have to find it.

It is very important.

Order two more shots of the good one.

You want...? Yes, sure.

Are you gringa?

Yes.

Here's the good one.

You are Alejandro Fernandez, right?

- Yes.

- You are the good one.

- There you will find what you want.

- Thanks.

You need to stop being afraid.

Your destiny is to return.
