in the first, by the way.

In that thing? You must be kidding.

What you talking about?

That's a Cadillac.

- I wouldn't be caught dead in that.

- Come on.

It's got a few years,

but it's a cream puff.

It looks like somebody's nightmare.

So, you like this better?

It's like one of them tigers

from India.

Crazy guy.

Know what he's been doing?

Dragging me to the zoo

to look at tigers.

He says he's gonna buy one.

You do that

and you won't have any friends left.

Not that you have any now.

You'll like that tiger, man.

You gonna drive around with a tiger

in your passenger seat?

Maybe. Some lady tiger.

- How much?

- $43,000, fully equipped.

- That all?

- Machine-gun turrets are extra.

He's a funny guy. Come here, Manny.

Bullet-proof this, okay?

And this here and here.

And the windows.

- Get me a phone with a scrambler.

- A scrambler.

And a radio with scanners...

to pick up flying saucers,

stuff like that.

Don't forget the fog lights.

In case I get caught in a swamp.

That's a good idea.

Get out of the way, lady!

I'm trying to drive here!

I thought you were taking me

to Frank.

We got an hour. You hungry?

No, but I'm bored.

Well, that figures.

Check it out, Manny, okay?

And pay the guy.

And you take a taxi.

Meet me at the track, okay?

Good doing business with you.

I wouldn't buy the car

if you didn't like it.

Planning on driving the girls crazy,

aren't you, Tony?

Yeah. You know who?

What would Frank say?

I like Frank, you know?

Only I like you better.

- You got some for me?

- Sure.

Don't get confused, Tony.

I don't f*** around with the help.

You wanna play that way with me,

I play with you.

Sh*t.

Would you kiss me if I wear the hat?

No!

Playtime is over, okay?

Mama?

Long time.

No postcards from jail?

Gina.

- Tony?

- Look at you.

You're beautiful.

- I didn't...

- Mama, look at those eyes.

Look at that. She looks like me.

You know the last time I saw you,

you was like that.

You looked like a little boy.

Now look at you.

I got something for you.

It's no big deal.

I never thought I'd see you again,

you know?

You think they'd keep

a guy like me down?

Well, no.

- You look so good.

- Look, open that up. Open it.

- For me?

- I think so.

It's nothing much,

you know, nothing.

See what's written on the back?

On the back?

- Always.

- "Always." It's beautiful, Tony!

Mama is still working

in the factory...

and I work part-time

in a beauty parlor.

I'm doing hair, Tony.

Do you remember Hiram Gonzalez?

His father owned that barbershop.

It's his place.

Plus I go to junior college.

Miami Dade.

In two more years,

I get my cosmetology license.

- Then I'll be making enough money...

- Surprise!

All that's over, starting today.

Why?

My kid sister don't have to work

in no beauty parlor, and Mama...

she don't have to sew in no factory.

Your son made it, Mama.

He's a success.

That's why

I didn't come around before.

I want you to see

what a good boy I've been.

Here's $1,000.

For you, Mama.

Who did you kill for this, Antonio?

I didn't kill nobody, Mama.

No?

No.

What are you doing now?

Banks, or is it still bodegas,

you and the others?

No! Things are different now.

I'm working

with an anti-Castro group.

I'm an organizer now.

I get a lot

of political contributions.

Sure you do.

A gun sticking in somebody's face

is how.

You know, all we hear about

in the papers...

is animals like you

and the killings.

It's Cubans like you who are giving

a bad name to our people.

People who come here, work hard

and make a good name for themselves.

People who send their children

to school.

What are you saying?

That's your son...

Son? I wish I had one.

He's a bum.

He was a bum then

and he's a bum now.

Who do you think you are?

We haven't heard a word

from you in five years.

You suddenly show up here,

throw some money around...

and think you can get my respect.

You think you can buy me

with jewellery?

You think you can come into my house

with your hotshot clothes...

and your jail manners

and make fun of us?

- You don't know what you're saying.

- That's not the way I am, Antonio!

That is not the way

I raised Gina to be!

You are not going to destroy her.

I don't need your money.

I work for my living.

I don't want you

in this house anymore!

I don't want you around Gina.

So come on. Get out!

And take this lousy money with you.

It stinks.

Why do you have to spoil it

for everybody?

I'm sorry, Tony.

Okay, Mama.

No. Tony, wait a minute!

Don't go, please!

Gina, stay here!

No, Mama.

He's no good. Gina!

Tony, wait, please!

I'm sorry. I don't know.

Mama, ever since Papa left she's...

Forget Papa. We never had one.

I know you did some bad things

back then.

In the Army,

I know you got into some trouble.

The Communists...

they're always trying

to tell you what to do.

- Mama doesn't understand that.

- I know.

I just... I don't know.

I just want you to know

that I don't care.

It doesn't matter to me how long

you've been away, five or ten years.

You're my blood, always.

I know.

- Come on. I want you to take this.

- I gotta go back in.

- No, Tony. Please.

- You need this.

What will I tell her?

Take that.

You don't tell her anything.

Don't tell her I gave it to you,

but give her some from time to time.

And listen, you go out yourself.

Go ahead, go out, do some things.

Have some fun.

You gotta get some fun out of life.

You gonna beat yourself to death

at 19?

A pussycat like you? Come here.

- I'll talk to you again.

- Okay.

Put that money away.

Don't let her see it.

I'll talk to her.

I'll talk to you.

Let's go.

She's beautiful. How come you...

Stay away from her. You hear?

She's not for you.

COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA

So, this and my other factory,

I can guarantee production...

of 200 kilos refined

every month of the year.

The problem is,

I have no steady market.

Basically, what I'm looking for

is somebody in the States...

who can share the risk with me,

somebody who can guarantee...

to buy from me, say,

That's a big commitment, Mr. Sosa.

Something like that...

Too bad Frank's not here.

You should talk to him.

- It would've been nice if he'd come.

- He would like to come...

but with his trial coming up,

it's hard to leave the country.

- So he sent you instead?

- Something like that.

We'll talk at my house, shall we?

You got good stuff here.

Class-A sh*t.

This Lopez guarantees

to buy 150 kilos from me...

every month of the year.

He picks it up here.

I can sell it to him

for as little as...

$7,000 a key.

You can't do better than that.

But then we got to take the risk

of moving it.

We'll be cutting out the Colombians.

Know what that means?

That means we have

to go to war with them.

We cut out the Colombians,

we take risks on both sides.

Why don't we split the risk?

You guarantee your delivery,

say, as far as Panama...

we take it from there.

Panama is risky. It costs me more.
