How many people?
209
00:
20:47,613 -- 00:20:49,547How many people? How many? How many?
210
00:
20:49,615 -- 00:20:50,639Two.
211
00:
20:50,716 -- 00:20:53,082I need two. Two only.
212
00:
21:39,998 -- 00:21:43,991So, I'm gonna catch up with them
pretty soon. Hopefully...
213
00:
21:45,370 -- 00:21:48,305Man, why your girl
gotta handle our business yesterday?
214
00:
21:48,373 -- 00:21:50,204She made us look like a couple of b*tches.
215
00:
21:50,309 -- 00:21:51,708She made you look like a b*tch.
216
00:
21:51,777 -- 00:21:53,244I was beatin' that boy's ass.
217
00:
21:53,345 -- 00:21:54,607You was just tap dancing on him
218
00:
21:54,780 -- 00:21:57,374like America's Got Talent or some sh*t.
219
00:
21:57,449 -- 00:22:00,885All's I know is your haina gets more respect
than you.
220
00:
22:00,986 -- 00:22:02,886Even the cops know not to mess with her.
221
00:
22:03,322 -- 00:22:04,721They know we ain't nothin'.
222
00:
22:05,457 -- 00:22:07,448Speak for yourself, fool.
223
00:
22:07,626 -- 00:22:10,288Yeah? What's so special about you, fool?
224
00:
22:10,362 -- 00:22:11,727You ain't no gangster.
225
00:
22:11,797 -- 00:22:14,425All you gonna do is mow lawns
like your pops.
226
00:
22:14,499 -- 00:22:15,693Hell, no.
227
00:
22:15,767 -- 00:22:18,065Then what? Bus tables at Denny's?
228
00:
22:18,136 -- 00:22:20,502Park cars in one of them little red vests?
229
00:
22:21,773 -- 00:22:22,762All right.
230
00:
22:23,575 -- 00:22:26,408If I make this right now,
it's all gonna work out for me.
231
00:
22:26,611 -- 00:22:27,669I'm gonna be rich.
232
00:
22:28,447 -- 00:22:30,312I'm gonna have
a big ol' mansion in Beverly Hills.
233
00:
22:30,582 -- 00:22:32,812And you're gonna mow my lawn, b*tch.
234
00:
22:33,819 -- 00:22:34,911All right.
235
00:
22:34,986 -- 00:22:36,283But if you miss,
236
00:
22:36,355 -- 00:22:39,222then you're gonna end up killed out here
in these streets.
237
00:
22:39,291 -- 00:22:40,383Biatch!
238
00:
22:40,459 -- 00:22:41,448It ain't funny.
239
00:
22:41,727 -- 00:22:43,160I ain't jokin'.
240
00:
22:43,228 -- 00:22:44,957What's up, youngsters?
241
00:
22:45,864 -- 00:22:48,332You bein' good to my cousin Ruthie?
242
00:
22:49,334 -- 00:22:50,358Yeah, you know it.
243
00:
22:51,770 -- 00:22:52,759What up, 'Celo?
244
00:
22:53,772 -- 00:22:56,468Nothin', man. Just putting in work.
You know how we do.
245
00:
22:56,541 -- 00:22:57,530No doubt.
246
00:
22:57,609 -- 00:22:59,270What you doin' out of school?
247
00:
22:59,344 -- 00:23:00,675Suspended.
248
00:
23:00,746 -- 00:23:05,615That's all they know how to do.
Lock us out or lock us up.
249
00:
23:05,684 -- 00:23:08,278Watch out.
You know what they used to do with us?
250
00:
23:08,387 -- 00:23:10,548Put on a video and leave the room.
251
00:
23:11,690 -- 00:23:14,557Yeah. That's what they do to us, too.
It's just they got DVDs now.
252
00:
23:16,194 -- 00:23:20,597So I decided, "Screw it,
I'm getting into the hood."
253
00:
23:20,665 -- 00:23:22,360Hey, 'Celo.
254
00:
23:22,467 -- 00:23:24,128What if I'm ready?
255
00:
23:24,669 -- 00:23:27,297For what, Lil' Aztec All-Star?
256
00:
23:27,372 -- 00:23:28,703To get jumped into the barrio.
257
00:
23:29,374 -- 00:23:30,773Roll with y'all.
258
00:
23:31,276 -- 00:23:32,470F*** it.
259
00:
23:33,745 -- 00:23:35,940Nah. You don't wanna do that, homie.
260
00:
23:36,014 -- 00:23:38,346End up shot, or in the pinta.
261
00:
23:39,718 -- 00:23:42,346I don't know. Try me next week.
262
00:
23:44,256 -- 00:23:46,349Hey, what's happenin', bro?
263
00:
23:51,663 -- 00:23:53,028What?
264
00:
24:11,683 -- 00:24:12,707What are you doin' here?
265
00:
24:13,051 -- 00:24:14,416It'd be better to talk inside.
266
00:
24:26,631 -- 00:24:28,496Luis, get up. Your aunt's here.
267
00:
24:31,803 -- 00:24:33,532Hola, Luis.
268
00:
24:33,672 -- 00:24:34,969So what? What's up?
You come to check on me?
269
00:
24:35,807 -- 00:24:37,832See if I'm behaving?
270
00:
24:37,909 -- 00:24:39,137I came to see your father.
271
00:
24:39,211 -- 00:24:40,644You want something to drink, flaca?
272
00:
24:41,813 -- 00:24:45,943Water.
But I can't stay long or they'll dock my pay.
273
00:
24:47,219 -- 00:24:48,743Can you give us a moment?
274
00:
25:00,966 -- 00:25:02,365What's goin' on?
275
00:
25:12,844 -- 00:25:16,109Humberto said yes?
276
00:
25:17,015 -- 00:25:19,210- I didn't ask him.
- You didn't ask him?
277
00:
25:19,417 -- 00:25:22,614He would have said no.
278
00:
25:23,455 -- 00:25:25,252Where did you get the money?
279
00:
25:27,192 -- 00:25:31,993Since Linda was born, we've saved some
money every month from his check...
280
00:
25:32,297 -- 00:25:35,289...So if one of us is sick, or gets laid off...
281
00:
25:35,667 -- 00:25:38,534...We'd have money for whatever happened.
282
00:
25:39,504 -- 00:25:43,770The account is in my name.
He never reads the statements.
283
00:
25:58,156 -- 00:25:59,589I can't, I'm sorry.
284
00:
25:59,824 -- 00:26:01,314Yes, you can.
285
00:
26:01,726 -- 00:26:03,591- If something happens...
- It won't.
286
00:
26:03,795 -- 00:26:04,887But you don't understand.
287
00:
26:05,297 -- 00:26:07,857If I get in an accident, or arrested,
or anything...
288
00:
26:07,933 -- 00:26:09,093Carlos.
289
00:
26:09,167 -- 00:26:11,260I understand everything.
290
00:
26:15,073 -- 00:26:17,007Buy the truck.
291
00:
26:17,642 -- 00:26:20,236And if you do well, like you say...
292
00:
26:21,246 -- 00:26:23,441...Everything's gonna change.
293
00:
26:23,715 -- 00:26:27,617That's why we came here, right?
294
00:
26:30,221 -- 00:26:32,189Right.
295
00:
26:37,228 -- 00:26:39,253I've gotta get to work.
296
00:
26:55,413 -- 00:26:57,176Take care.
297
00:
27:03,722 -- 00:27:04,950What's goin' on?
298
00:
28:38,216 -- 00:28:40,776All students, the bell has rung.
299
00:
28:41,052 -- 00:28:44,044You need to leave the campus
in an orderly fashion.
300
00:
28:44,556 -- 00:28:46,547I need you to stay in your lines.
301
00:
28:53,098 -- 00:28:54,087Oh, God.
302
00:
28:56,234 -- 00:28:57,223Who's that?
303
00:
28:57,335 -- 00:28:59,326Wait a minute. Hold up.
304
00:
29:06,544 -- 00:29:07,602Hey.
305
00:
29:08,079 -- 00:29:09,637What are you doing here?
306
00:
29:11,082 -- 00:29:14,017I just wanted to come by
and see you at school.
307
00:
29:14,919 -- 00:29:15,943Pretty nice, huh?
308
00:
29:16,821 -- 00:29:17,810Here.
309
00:
29:18,389 -- 00:29:19,788What's this?
310
00:
29:20,291 -- 00:29:21,815It's a present.
311
00:
29:22,393 -- 00:29:23,553For what?
312
00:
29:23,628 -- 00:29:25,596Just take a look at it.
313
00:
29:32,670 -- 00:29:34,228I don't understand.
314
00:
29:34,305 -- 00:29:35,636That's your team, right?
315
00:
29:36,775 -- 00:29:38,265
