Subida Al Cielo (Ascent To Heaven) Page #2

---

...took charge since your father.

And in the meantime?

Don't worry.

I'll be strong enough to wait.

Go, and don't tell your siblings.

All right, mother.

The bus leaves at six.

Take a nap, son.

I also want to get some rest.

Yes, Oliverio.

Go to sleep. I'll wake you up.

Let's go to Petatlan together.

Stay and take care of mother.

What if something happens?

Nothing will happen,

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Oliverio.

What?

Take my mirror.

Don't break it...

...it's bad luck.

- It's safe here.

- Let's see if it's true.

A cigarette, doll.

Yes, Congressman. Thank you.

Come here.

Oh, boy.

Now me, Silvestre, now me.

You're acting like a child.

I can't play with you

the same way.

Careful, don't hurt the lady.

- Hey, Silvestre.

- Well, well.

It's about time.

When is the baby due?

I'm going to Petatlan...

...to see Dr. Martinez.

- Yes, sir.

He's one of the best.

- Are you traveling, too?

- Yes.

You shouldn't, should you, Feliza?

After what happened

to your sister Jacinta.

I'm here if you need anything.

- Thanks.

- Careful, careful.

I'm going with your mother.

Wait until the bus leaves.

It won't until it fills up.

When one's in a hurry, things stall.

Don't worry, I'll look after her.

Good-bye, my dear.

You're so corny, Oli.

Is that envy or a compliment?

Envy? I have them by the dozen.

Influential, like me.

Ha.

I like ripe fruit, not rotten.

Your influence just wilted.

You'll see.

I want to see my granddaughter.

Can I pay when I get back?

You know I always say yes, Mr. Nemesio.

Everything's on paper.

When justice is finally done in Mexico...

...and I get my land back...

...you'll get every penny.

- Much obliged, Mr. Nemesio.

- Thanks, boy.

Does it have to be full to leave?

Well, I have to make a profit.

We're all in a hurry.

- Fine, Congressman.

- Good bye.

How much?

Four tickets will be enough.

Give me the change.

- Fine, Mr. Eladio.

- Come on, Congressman.

You first. Go ahead.

That's okay.

- Hurrah for Mr. Eladio.

- Hurrah, hurrah.

Your change, Congressman.

Thanks, Silvestre.

- Sit over there.

- Get moving.

- Ready?

- Let's go.

- Step on it, man.

- Step on it.

Well, I'll be darned.

We have a flat.

You said it loud enough.

We're not deaf.

- Where's the spare?

- On top.

Come on.

Things can't go on

like this forever, and...

...when my situation changes...

...if there's anything

I can do for you...

I heard you'll be appointed judge.

In a matter of days.

Despite my forlorn appearance...

...the governor is a friend of mine...

...and the president studied

with a friend's friend.

Oh, that's good.

Here, let me light it for you.

Why let a cigarette go out?

To get some courtesy back, doll.

Do you want to put it out?

Patience, you'll be back in time.

Perhaps, but it's so slow.

A slow stride is

better than a tiring one.

- If I were the driver...

- You'd crash the bus.

Look at those curves, you

always lose control there.

Since when?

I'm not a handle.

It's all I can hold on to.

You're used to being supported.

Slopes frighten me, you see.

Back off, back off.

Buy yourself a scapular.

The fog looks like cotton.

Look.

The Congressman feels

safer beside Silvestre.

You don't feel well, do you?

I'm already sick.

Look out for that pothole.

You think I'm not looking.

That rock!

I told you, you fool.

Don't bother me, it's distracting.

Too many people in the kitchen

spoil the pan of chicken.

If it weren't for this wooden leg...

...I would be walking by now.

And the little angels

are so quiet.

Such innocence.

Move your arm, I can't drive.

Careful, please be careful.

You'd better stop

until the fog clears up.

We'd lose more time.

Others are in a hurry, too.

He keeps bothering me!

We all need to get there fast.

It hurts a lot, doesn't it?

I feel terrible.

You should have come sooner.

I think it's close.

Calm down, calm down.

Now we're in for it,

here comes another car.

Almonds, sugar coated peanuts,

candy and chewing gum.

- Like this, mother?

- Be quiet.

- Watch out.

- I couldn't be more careful.

Please, back up.

We're in a hurry.

Hey buddy, back up.

Let's go.

I'd like to sir, but I can't.

- My reverse doesn't work.

- What?

Back up or I'll make you.

This junk couldn't even be towed.

Let's see.

All right, let's go.

Pull.

Harder on reverse.

Harder, man.

We need a pulley.

Yes, Congressman.

I'm familiar with this.

Back up, and it'll be solved.

Look, Mr. Eladio.

Fidencio, wait. Let's get off.

No, I don't want to. Stop it.

You pig. You're always sniffling...

...but never blow your nose. Creep.

Gross, snot.

Oh, my, what happened?

Silvestre, get off and take the kids.

Call some women to help with Feliza.

Go on, hurry.

Turn around, don't look.

Women! I need two.

Hurry, quickly.

- They're coming.

- Hurry.

Come on, I'll take you.

What do you need?

Get in, no questions.

Come on.

This happened to

me years ago...

...on a boat, and I'm fine.

Hurry. Don't just stand there.

And don't let any men in here.

- Move, I'm going in.

- You can't.

It's the honey,

I need to wash it down.

I need my bottle.

No, you son of a...

- Oh, Oliverio, Oliverio.

- What?

Look...

- Really?

- Yes.

I'm sorry. I'll see what I can do.

Do you know what's going on?

We don't have a place for the show.

Too bad, find a way.

We made the trip, it's too late.

Ma'am, everything is fine.

- Do you want to come?

- Heavens.

Mother, let me see it.

Stay right here, girl.

- Stay here.

- Oh, child.

What are you up to,

pretty little bud?

I'm taking this to Feliza.

Don't let her mistreat you.

Don't get burnt.

- What if I do?

- You'll burn me, too.

You've got experience, child.

Experience?

You bet. Do you want to try?

I'm burning for you,

and you're so evasive.

Put some time aside for me.

Those squeaking doors.

Get someone to oil them.

- I think it was a boy.

- A boy?

It's a boy, it's a boy.

It's about time, so many girls.

I'm going to cry my eyes out.

Hospitals with all their staff...

...can't pick flowers like this.

- How's the mother?

- Just fine.

She just wants to go home.

Tell the men to climb on board...

...to help her get off.

He sure is cute, look at that...

He's so cute.

He's cute, isn't he?

Silvestre, I'm helping too.

- She's heavy.

- Come on, come on.

- Help me, Silvestre.

- Yes, Oliverio, let's see.

Be careful. Get a good

grip on her shoulders.

- Slowly.

- I'll hold her legs.

- Come on.

- Careful.

We'll take her.

We'll try to make her

as comfortable as possible.

Marta, Marta, get out

so the lady is comfortable.

The baby's father will be thrilled...

...when he gets back from the mine.

Imagine when Albina

surprises you like this?

Bring me my son.

- Mrs. Linda, bring me the boy.

- My son.

Cover him up, he'll get sick.

Give him to his mother.

Congratulations.

Give me those boxes, girl.

Where's the blanket?

Let's see that smile.

Congratulations.

I'd love to be his godfather.
