18
00:
05:51,884 -- 00:05:53,442Every day.

00:
05:57,757 -- 00:06:00,089How many days have you missed this year?
21
00:
06:00,159 -- 00:06:02,992I don't know, 18, 19.
22
00:
06:05,832 -- 00:06:09,666I don't want you to miss school no more.
School's important.
23
00:
06:09,936 -- 00:06:11,233It's everything.

27
00:
06:17,110 -- 00:06:18,168No.
28
00:
06:19,812 -- 00:06:22,372Hey, so can I have the money or what?
29
00:
06:22,982 -- 00:06:25,280You want money? Come work.
30
00:
06:26,219 -- 00:06:27,914You used to come with me on Saturdays.
31
00:
06:28,221 -- 00:06:30,246Well, I had to stop 'cause of soccer.
32
00:
06:30,323 -- 00:06:32,018You haven't played football in years.
33
00:
06:32,759 -- 00:06:35,057Well, that's because
that league sucked, man.
34
00:
06:35,128 -- 00:06:38,723If you need money in this world, Luis,
necesitas trabajar.
35
00:
06:39,532 -- 00:06:41,363You need to work.
36
00:
06:42,535 -- 00:06:43,866Get yourself an education.
37
00:
06:43,936 -- 00:06:48,066You know what? I'm gonna jack an old lady
in the street, all right? I don't care.
38
00:
06:51,778 -- 00:06:54,110That's not funny.
39
00:
06:54,180 -- 00:06:55,943Don't even say that.
40
00:
06:56,816 -- 00:06:58,94341
00:
07:00,486 -- 00:07:01,646Damn!
42
00:
07:05,725 -- 00:07:08,091Listen, buddy.
43
00:
07:08,461 -- 00:07:10,929You ain't just buyin' a truck, or a business.
44
00:
07:11,164 -- 00:07:13,689What you're buyin' is the American Dream.
45
00:
07:14,000 -- 00:07:15,900I ain't buyin' your truck.
46
00:
07:16,135 -- 00:07:21,732Fine. If you don't buy her,
someone else will.
47
00:
07:22,208 -- 00:07:27,077And if I sell her to someone else,
then you're out of a job.
48
00:
07:27,513 -- 00:07:30,277Back on that corner
where I found you six years ago.
49
00:
07:30,750 -- 00:07:33,583Beggin' for work with all the other
desperate wetbacks.
50
00:
07:34,454 -- 00:07:37,719Duckin' La Migra. Not knowing
where your next dollar's gonna come.
51
00:
07:39,625 -- 00:07:42,788But you buy ol' girl from me,
you keep my tools...
52
00:
07:43,129 -- 00:07:45,256You keep all my customers...
53
00:
07:45,498 -- 00:07:47,625...You'll be your own boss.
54
00:
07:49,435 -- 00:07:50,732Look at me.
55
00:
07:51,571 -- 00:07:55,701I came here with nothing, but I'm
going home to my very own farm.
56
00:
07:56,742 -- 00:07:58,869I don't want to go home.
57
00:
08:10,022 -- 00:08:11,853Please tell him to be careful.
58
00:
08:11,924 -- 00:08:12,913Don't worry, Mrs. Donnely.
59
00:
08:13,493 -- 00:08:16,656He does this all the time.
He's a professional.
60
00:
08:16,896 -- 00:08:19,865Shouldn't you be using one of those
cherry-picker things?
61
00:
08:19,932 -- 00:08:20,921A cherry picker?
62
00:
08:21,267 -- 00:08:24,236If I had a cherry picker,
I'd have to charge more.
63
00:
08:26,672 -- 00:08:28,071Are you insured?
64
00:
08:29,609 -- 00:08:33,375Mrs. Donnely,
I'm fully insured and bonded. I promise you.
65
00:
08:34,881 -- 00:08:36,712This is the way we do it in Mexico.

00:
08:37,083 -- 00:08:38,380It's safe. Believe me.
67
00:
08:39,552 -- 00:08:44,012If it's so safe,
why don't you climb up here, fatty?
68
00:

09:33,506 -- 00:09:36,669And when I asked him for the yesca,
