The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez Page #4

oh, I cry everytime they shoot that dog.

What a nice film.

here's the best part.

a (do-gooder???) I ain't.

I didn't come here to

lay judgment on your head

even though I know that you're just a ...

as the almighty himself

Oh, golly!

oh, please, why do you stop?

You're so good.

I can't do it like he does it

I'm not (Ned Pritchard???).

He was the best.

eh, that's why he got the part.

He was more talented than me.

plain and simple.

eh, it's so beautiful when he says that part

I don't suppose I could ever

say any better than that

all I can do, rehearse and

wait for my next shot

em. no, you're gonna

get that audition, Ricochet.

All of that work in going to pay off.

We got this for you.

- We want you to come with us.

- it would be our great honor.

and we'll take the wheelchair.

it's gonna be fine

I'm gonna be there.

- your first night out of this place

- and on fourth of July

it's gonna be awesome

alright, just to see

what all the ruckus is about

honestly, Rex.

This is so strange.

You don't have to tell me twice, eh.

they're like a bunch of jumping beans

all excited and uppity and ...

all over handshake

Well, you're an overnight sensation.

they, eh,

they invited me to see his concert.

What? you're well enough to go out?

That's great news.

When? Can we come?

- Rex?

- emm

- When?

- oh, Fourth of July.

you're spending that with us. aren't you?

you know, it's Clem's big game is that day.

they could sure use you out there

I could sure use you out there

What do you want me to do?

I am obliged to these people.

they expect things from a

public figure like me.

that's the pitfalls of a celebrity.

But Clem has so much fun

when you're there.

I wouldn't be going anywhere,

if weren't for them.

Good

so spend the day with a bunch of strangers.

Doctor.

You scared me.

I couldn't help it.

I saw you sitting there

so sweet, so beautiful.

your grandmother looks like

she's dong well

It must be quite relief to

have here while you work.

- yes, Doctor and I'm very grateful.

- grateful, really?

Dr. Dominguez, you have to stop.

I can't stop, Solena.

I have to have you.

Doctor, please, please.

I will have you, or your grandmother

will end up in the street.

How dare you! You wouldn't!

I will report you.

report me and then what?

scrambling to find a job while your grandmother

withers away, I don't think so

you know, (what's they do now???)

I've been worried if a little field trip

you and your staff planning

I did discussed it with Mr. Walker

and we concluded that

all staff need to report

on evening of the Fourth

any who don't, may not bother to

showing up to work, after the holidays.

Is that clear?

hey, What's a matter, Seorita/t?

It's a disgusting

doctor Dominguez.

he threatening to

throw my grandmother out.

What?

And he told Walker that

we all going to see Vicente.

so that he'll make us work and

spoil our night

he can't do that.

it's a Holiday.

they can do whatever they want.

Don't you worry about that.

I will take care of that

Come on, kid.

let's ride.

you mean, roll?

that's what I mean ride.

- deal me in

- I call all the shots around here

either you deal me in or

I'm gonna yell chicken

Mr. page

you don't have to do this.

you, pipe down

quit acting like you're on side of one

who's paying your bill

you think those

the decrepit old hands are fast enough

to play game of rat screw?

seems to me like you're stalling.

I don't lay down for free.

hah, I was hoping

you say something like that.

While you'd sell your own mother

for two (pips | bits | bps??) and give me change, wouldn't you?

are you gonna talk?

or bet?

if I win, you let my friend

go see that show.

- And if you don't win?

- call it.

- you move on from here

- draw

roll, goddamn it!

you're busted, mister.

- this ain't over, Ricochet Rex.

- you leave my friends alone.

is this gonna happen today?

Come on, Clem.

you can do it?

Come on, guys

The concert is about to start.

Hurry, I don't wanna miss a moment.

You look really (daboring???).

I wish you would be

my date, Mr. page.

auh? are you kidding?

I look like a black and white movie

compared to you folks

no, you are our hero.

this entire night owe it to you.

- To you, Rex. salute!

- salute!

Tequila?

are you kidding?

Come on. you got

some catching up to do with tequila

eh, what the hell?

listen. Why don't you

make move on that young lady?

Everybody knows

you're sweet on her.

smooching nurses is strictly

against Rancho Park policy (here???).

If anybody found out,

I'm out of there

I don't think it's good for me, Rex

nah, I have to disagree with you, my friend.

I think someone like you,

is exactly what that girl needs.

besides, (is that what you???) never date.

take it from your old uncle Dudley, eh?

just get up your nerve.

get up your nerve, that's all

- I can't do it.

- she's beautiful, ain't she? reminds me of my wife.

brat.

b*tches.you know what grandpa

would've said if he were here.

Come on, Clementine.

let's show'em your right foot.

my wife, eh

the most beautiful woman

I've laid eyes on

married 47 years and I don't

I don't know, I cannot be

honest with her and tell her

and she said,

I still got a crush on her

I love her, but like you

lost my nerve

How come?

cus I really amounted to anything, Alejandro

I wouldn't take a single moment

for granted with that woman, Rex

she's the light in

every room she is in

she deserves to be with a star

someone who shines bright as she does

Your wife loves you for you who you're, my friend,

and who you wanted to be

take it from me,

your old nephew Dudley

hey, did you teach her to kick like that?

- No, someone else did.

- well, they did a good job.

she keeps kicking like that in finals,

we're gonna make her team captain.

I knew it, eh, I knew it!

Mr. Page,
