I think you were

just saying it

'cause you wanted to get

close enough to kiss me.

Yeah, right.

I saw Dad today.

And?

He wanted to shoot

me in the face.

He's really sick.

So, how is it being a parent?

It's amazing how quickly I

disappeared when Gracie was born.

First kid's easy.

Second kid

changes everything.

Why do you ask?

I don't know.

I think I could've

made a good father.

For real. I mean, I love

your little people.

See this water?

We test the PH of this water.

It's perfect.

I don't even swim.

[vocalizing]

Did you think if you just

showed up out of the blue

it would be like it

was in high school?

That somehow I'd fall

back in love with you?

No.

I'm here to let you know you

made the right decision.

(woman) I was back with

your father this afternoon.

He tried to shoot me

in the face with a shotgun.

That thing wasn't loaded.

Oh, come on.

He was just scared.

He acted like he

didn't know who I was.

I don't know, Momma.

This is a--

It's difficult sh*t for me to do.

I know it is.

[faded voice] Lucky me.

I love you.

[echoing]

Love you, love you.

Good morning.

I'm going to the farmers' market.

Does anyone need anything?

You are going

to the farmers' market?

Mommy, can I come

to the farm, too?

No, I'm getting

groceries.

Of course you can come. I'll

drop you at school afterwards.

Charles, any requests?

Pomegranate juice.

Hey, Carlos.

I need

another favor.

Ou?

Otro favor pequeno.

Oh, sf, sf

cmo no.

All right,

vmonos.

I'll be right back.

Cuidado can el viejo.

My God, I'm telling you

right now,

I won't put up

with this no more.

Ain't going to happen no more.

What's going on?

Every day

I got to pay

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Scott, George's son.

I know who you are.

Well, I want to talk to him.

Well, he's resting now.

I've just seen him

on the porch with you.

How many times

I got to tell you?

Hey, hey it's all right. It ain't even loaded.

I got this, okay?

Margaret, my mother, your wife,

sent me here to talk to you.

Now, she wouldn't have done that

if you ain't know who I was.

So, cut the sh*t,

old man.

My Margaret

didn't send you here.

Yes, she did. I talked

to her last night.

No, you didn't.

You know how I know?

Because I talked

to Margaret last night.

Okay, well then you

should-- [gunshot]

Sh*t! You'd better move along!

Don'! you come back

here again.

[Joe Purdy

singing Our Ship]

I need

a f***ing drink.

Orale, vamos.

Are you ready

for this, boss?

Oh, yeah. I was born to do this.

Let's do it.

Two shots of tequila

and two Coronas, please.

You like

tequila, right?

Of course you do.

Ah, sf.

Tomo nota.

Tomo nota.

Louisa!

Do you mind

taking over?

I need to start

the marinade.

We're cooking

salmon tonight.

To a job well done.

Likewise. Great work.

Great work.

So, when's the last time

you shelled crabs?

Should we

give it a try?

You know anything

about Alzheimer's?

Ou?

No, me neither.

You ain't going

to get in trouble.

You ain't.

I mean,

f*** it, right?

[chuckles]

Yeah, f*** it.

Yeah.

She don't own you.

See, that was always

her problem, man.

Always wanting

to be in control.

I have no control.

Louisa,

has William called?

No.

I haven't told him

that Scott's here,

so if he does call,

please don't say anything.

$1', senora

Although I did try

to call him

and I started

to text him.

I thought he's in the middle

of a big deal, best I wait.

$1', senora

Do you like him?

Senor one

or senor two?

Who' one.

Who's two?

William.

I meant Scott.

Yes, he's so shiola.

He is.

I go next.

You know,

you shouldn't smoke.

Yeah, well, cigarettes

are the least of my problems.

Yeah?

What's your worst?

My mouth.

Hey. I thought

you were next.

How long have you

and Carlos been married?

Fifteen years.

Fifteen years?

You ever wonder what your life would have

been like if you hadn't married him?

O h, aburrido.

How do you say?

Boring.

What's your name?

Maria.

Hey, you all. Maria slings this

shot, next round's on the gringo.

[cheering]

Maybe he just doesn't

like eating at home.

I got a bet.

Yeah?

If I win.

When I win.

Mm-hm.

You take me home.

And--

Oh!

Otros

[cheering]

[no audible dialog]

Come on.

(crowd chanting) In his room.

In his room.

No way.

Let's go.

Good night, Mommy.

Good night, baby.

Maybe they went to pick

up Dad from the airport.

You got

a big day tomorrow.

How about

you get sleep?

[Mariachi music]

[distant voices]

Oh, my God, dude.

Look at that,

motherf***er.

You look like

a commercial, dude.

No. You want me in?

You want me in?

If you want me in,

I'm coming in.

[Sp/ash]

[distant laughter]

What the f***?

[singing drunk]

Hey!

Everyone out.

Hey, sister. Hey, come on in.

Come on.

This water's perfect. The

PH is f***ing balanced.

Everyone out!

Louisa!

They don't speak English.

The don't speak.

(Louisa) Maldito. Andale.

Just one second.

Louisa, thank you.

You know

I cooked tonight?

I haven't cooked

in years.

That means I'm a good influence.

No, you're under the influence.

Always.

And I want you out

of here tonight.

I don't care if you're sorry.

You're a selfish a**hole.

You just show up

out of nowhere,

you pump yourself full of drugs and

alcohol, and you do sh*t like this?

No, I am not

putting up with this.

All we were doing

is swimming.

Look at yourself!

You were given everything, and

you just pissed it all away.

You could have had a career. You could

have had a family. You could have had me.

And instead you're

just a f***ing mess!

Your life,

or ignoring

your kids,

and f***ing

my brother is--

Oh.

Katherine, wait.

I didn't mean

any of that.

I'm-I'm just trying.

Come on.

For every country.

You guys are great.

Hey, how are you?

I'll be back.

Hey, it's a private party. There's a VIP party.

I'm gonna go in there.

What, are you going

to play keno?

Okay. We actually had a big business

deal that went really well.

How big was that?

[clears throat]

You know,

it was worth--

How are you doing?

Having a good time?

Sorry?

A good time.

Are you having one?

Yeah.

How is it going?

William.

Hey, Dana.

Hey.

I haven't seen you

since the table.

You got this whole

thing started.

Great roll, man.

Thank you.

I didn't know you had so

many friends in Shreveport.

Yeah, actually

I didn't, either.

[man banging on door]

Judy, open up.
