Pulling Strings Page #3
We're leaving now. Thanks!
Order two more.
The good one this time, cheap bastard.
- We need elephants.
- I know, right?
Where should we put them?
Not next to the lions.
They would eat them.
Lions don't eat elephants.
And our lions eat chocolate,
or they would have eaten...
- ... the weird jellyfish...
- Chocolate.
...that horrible monkey...
...the owl, and of course the ladybug.
I have to sign this, right?
CITATION:
PARENT OR GUARDIAN
What's this? Another report?
- What did you do now?
- I pulled Susie Rosa's hair.
Why did you pull Susie Rosa's hair?
She called me "Maria chis"
because you are a mariachi.
Awful joke. But, Maria...
What? You hit a guy
with your guitar the other day.
Wait a second, young lady.
I hit him with the guitar...
I know, I know...
...it was the one who came
to request money the other day.
And I was thinking...
Look.
What's this?
All my jewelry. You give it to him
and you don't have to break your guitar.
But if he keeps bothering you...
...we kick his ass,
like Uncle Canicas says.
Antique Store - My White Illusion.
EVERYTHING FOR YOUR COMPUTER
maxestor.
Good morning.
Good day.
Welcome to the "maxestor. "
I'm Max. How can I help you?
Max, we're here because
we heard you're good with computers.
So? Yeah, I'm good. I know it all.
If it's got keys,
I know how to play them.
My friend here lost a computer
near Cuauhtemoc.
They sent us to you. Mr. Margarito.
Mr. Magos.
He's my godfather. PC or Mac?
Of course.
Yes, of course.
It's a MacBook...
It's a 13 inch MacBook Pro.
- Yes.
- Blue polycarbonate cover...
- ... and it comes in a briefcase, right?
- Yes.
- Yes, that's it.
- Yes, I have it.
- But it's not here. Not here.
- What?
What did you want?
This place is just for service.
- What? - It's in the warehouse
with the luxury stuff.
But my cousin Proton
is the warehouse manager.
I can call him and tell him to bring it.
When will your cousin bring it, Max?
Tonight.
He's not there now. He went to a fair
to install light and sound.
We have to go. Max, I'll see you tonight.
- Okay, gracias.
- Cool, Ale.
Applause...
...for this great impression...
...of Michael Jackson.
To continue with our show...
...we'll present...
...Alejandro Fernandez!
Alejandro Fernandez...
...is Maria Fernandez's dad.
She's form third grade.
He is going to sing...
...a great melody.
Excuse me.
Where's the auditorium?
Excuse me.
Where's the auditorium? Thank you.
Here's...
...Alejandro Fernandez.
- You should take care.
- Hi, miss.
- This is the auditorium, right?
- Not so fast.
We sent out a memo asking
you to be here 15 minutes before...
...going on the stage.
- Well, I'm here now.
- Magician, you're on.
But I go after the sunflowers.
- My tricks aren't ready.
- Change of plans. Go!
Alejandro Fernandez?
- Why is he not here?
- What a nice person.
You should be the English teacher,
who sends all of Maria's reports.
Okay, come here.
Now, I'll present...
...from second grade.
I'm here, Mother. Mother, I'm sorry.
Well. Alejandro Fernandez.
Thanks.
This song is for Maria...
...my daughter. I haven't played
it in a while. Hope you like it.
Watch me cry and wake up.
To the truth from the heaven.
Watch you live, grow and feel.
I still believe in the mystery.
From your kisses and your peace.
That's the strength you give me.
I ask for more in silence.
Of your hypnotic eyes.
Maria.
I'll be faithful to your love.
Inside of you I'm hiding.
I wanted to float in your soul.
Give you heat
Take the pain away.
Get drowned in the sea
Of your innocence.
And if time helps to forget.
And your dreams save.
Look into your breathing.
You'll have me next to you.
Maria.
You're mine, my love.
I want to give you the whole world.
When you bring the universe.
And give it to me with your heart.
You turn into a child again.
Come and embrace my existence.
I will never lie to you.
I'll be yours forever, my love.
Maria.
Maria
I love you, Dad.
I love you too.
Go with Mrs. Chelo, please.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you know Alejandro Fernandez?
Who doesn't know him?
He is the best.
Yes. Thank you, sir.
- Pablo, how are you?
- Good day.
- Good morning.
- How are you?
Hey, bro. Can you help me
with this level of Angry Birds.
Damn pigs.
You can laugh now.
Not now, Canicas.
I will give Rachel's
computer back, right now.
And what about the plan and the visa...?
Yes, but that's not the way to do it.
Maria, needs the visa,
but Rachel doesn't deserve my behavior.
- Why did you let me do this? - Me? I was
the first to tell you not to do this.
I'm not doing anything.
It's the right thing to do.
So now I'm the bad guy.
It will be hard to give it back like this.
Really, damn Neron?
It's the third time this month.
Where are my things?
- Look at that. So now you show up.
- I told you I will pay what I owe you.
But that's my house.
Respect my daughter's house!
Calm down, fatso.
I'll smash your face
and you'll lose your job.
before not paying, little mariachi.
You took a black briefcase.
How much do you want for it?
Twenty thousand pesos.
Twenty thousand pesos, Hapi?
And that's just a little part
of what you owe me.
Tomorrow morning
comes my brother, Anubis.
He was deported from McAllen.
I can give him your stuff to get started...
...if you don't pay
the 20,000 pesos you owe me.
Your call.
You have three hours left.
Three!
Do you really have
a brother called Anubis?
Yes, Hapi is an Egyptian name too,
you ignorant...
I thought he was Hapi
because he was happy.
No, it's Egyptian.
My father said that some people
asked the life to hit them.
I told you...
I know, Canicas,
but I do it all for Maria.
- I can take money from the ATM.
- How much?
- Like 320.
- No. Come on.
The thing is there was a post card in the
briefcase form Rachel's father in London.
What am I...?
I tell them.
Now the palito is upside down.
I'll show you later.
This girl is wild.
I don't know if I like this girl,
but I'll take that "what" face from her.
- What did she say? - If you chill out,
she'll show you her b*obs.
Mariachi. Mariachi.
Bro.
- Manolito wants a serenade. Urgent.
- Yeah, now.
- And what happened?
- I'm here to apologize.
- Okay.
- We'll sing:
I'm sorry.
No, something deeper.
So, Deja que salga la luna.
What's that song?
Don't ask.
Manolo, you step here.
Don't worry.
They never throw things.
Hold on here.
- Come on, guys.
- Deja que salga la luna.
Let the moon come out.
Let the sun set.
Let the night fall.
So that our love can start.
Let the little stars.
Fill me with inspiration.
To tell you things
Manolo!
Shut up. You'll wake my neighbors up.
Do you want me to call the police?
Leave my daughter alone.
Relax. Relax.
There's no problem.
I know the sector police chief.
- Relax.
- What did you do to her?
- Nothing, I just forgot her birthday.
- What?
- Sing something hot for the old lady.
