Under the Same Moon

Come on. Let's go.

The "Migra!" The "Migra!"

- Are you okay, Rosario?

- Shh, shh.

She's getting away.

Welcome to America, Juanito.

Are you up?

What would I do without you?

Carlitos'birthday

Oranges, sweet and fresh!

We deliver fresh orangejuice

straight to your door.

- Hey, baby!

- Creep!

Bye, gorgeous.

- You're going to the phone?

- Sure.

- It's Sunday.

- See you later.

- Wanna buy?

- No, thanks.

Gum, gum for a peso!

Chewing gum...

Yeah, I saw her yesterday at home.

Same time, of course.

We'll take a cab.

Sure.

- Carlitos?

- Mommy!

Happy birthday, sweetie!

Maybe I should start calling you Carlos.

Granny says I'll have a mustache soon.

- I'm nine.

- Did you get the gift I sent you?

I've got them on.

- There's something else coming, okay?

- What is it?

- You'll see, at your party.

- I'm ready to go to L.A., Mommy.

- I know, baby.

- I speak good English now.

I'm working very hard

so you can come soon.

You always say that.

I know, but it won't be long now,

okay?

Not long... But when?

I don't know, sweetheart.

It's so hard to get papers.

And you know how

the other lawyer robbed us.

If I can't go there,

then you come back here.

Four years is too long.

You need anything, sweetie?

You.

Tell me where you're standing.

I'm -You know already.

Tell me anyway.

Okay, I'm standing at

a phone booth by the bus stop.

Is the pizza place still there?

Yeah. It's here.

And there's a Laundromat

where I wash my clothes every week.

They even know me by name.

- Really?

- Can you believe it?

- You know what else is here?

- What?

- A store that sells party stuff.

- Where the mural is?

Yes, there.

That's where I'll buy the stuff...

for all the parties

I'm gonna throw for you...

You have 20 seconds left on your call.

- Carlitos...

I love you with all my heart.

I love you more than

all the earth and all the sea.

And all the stars and all the sky.

Will you call me next Sunday, Mommy?

Of course I will, sweetie.

I love you so much. Enjoy all your-

You're so sweet.

Thanks for coming.

Leave the girl alone "Compadre."

What a flirt.

- Look.

- Is that it?

- Uh-huh.

- Wow.

Hey, Chito!

How cool is that?

- It's awesome!

- That's one big piata.

Yeah, my mom sent Granny

extra money to buy it for me.

You deserve it, son.

Carlitos, get my medicine please.

Ugh. Why are they here?

Those sons of-

- Good afternoon.

- Hello.

- How you doin', Benita?

- Fine.

Came by to give the boy a hug.

- We're so fond of him.

- Is that so?

Well, we're gonna go put

the candles on the cake.

- Got any matches?

- By the grill, if there's any.

Excuse us.

Don't let them get to you.

It's bad for your health.

What's up, Carlitos?

Give me five.

- Happy birthday, kiddo.

- Thanks.

No, no. Hold it!

You thought about what I said?

C'mon, Carlitos!

My granny is gonna get better.

Your granny is very sick...

and who knows when

your mother's coming back.

Someone has to take care of you.

My granny takes good care of me.

Besides, what do you care?

- Leave him alone.

- No. It's what we're here for.

Besides, he's old enough

to know the truth.

Not now, Manuel. It's his party.

Look, Carlitos.

Josefina and I are your aunt and uncle.

Neighbors. Not family.

Your dad is my brother.

- I don't have a dad.

- Yes, you do! His name is Oscar.

He lives in the U.S.

in a city called Tucson.

Go outside, son.

Hurry, Carlitos!

Carlitos, Carlitos!

You're up!

Oh, so now we're family?

If I remember, you all denied

your brother was his father.

That was a long time ago, Benita.

I'm too old for this bullshit.

I know exactly what this is about...

and it's got nothing to do

with Carlitos.

I guess you don't know

about the $300...

Rosario sends every month, right?

Get out!

# Hit it, hit it, hit it

Careful with your aim #

- Come on!

- Manuel-

- # Because if you lose it,

you will lose your way #

# Now you hit it once

now you hit it twice #

# Now you hit it three times

and your time is up ##

Did you enjoy your party?

Did you like your gifts?

If you don't want to talk,

we won't talk.

Why didn't you tell me about my dad?

Your mother was going to tell you

when you got a little older.

- Is it true what Manuel said?

- What did he say?

That Mom won't be back

any time soon.

Is she coming back or not?

Don't cry.

Carlitos, you are a Reyes...

and we Reyes are strong.

Come here.

Promise me you won't let them

take me away from you!

I'd kill them first!

We're back...

with a new program

and it's a pleasure.

Good morning!

Time to get up if this is your alarm.

- Up, up, up!

- Are you up?

You have to go to work, man!

For those of us who came

to the U.S. to work! Work!

Work to make ends meet!

- So how did the dress turn out?

- The girl was happy.

- How much did her parents pay you?

- $53 dollars...

With that I have about $2,000-

The new lawyer said he would

take your case for $4,000, right?

Yes.

So you've only got about...

Yeah.

What's the matter?

What did I say now?

We should just get a couple

of"gringos" to marry us.

It'd be cheaper and faster.

Oh, God.

You'd never do it, would you?

I've done a lot of stupid things

in my life.

I don't want to do another one.

More fun with Cucuy de la Maana!

In the news, California's Governor

Arnold Chuarche- That guy-

decided to veto once again...

a bill that would have allowed

more than two and a half million...

The Governor of California insisted

he would not pass a law...

that threatened public safety.

Well, he is a threat to us!

Isn't it true?

What's it to him?

He's an immigrant who...

came here from farther away

than we did!

- Which makes him a jerk!

- A turkey!

Man, I'm telling you.

Don't run into him.

He might run over you with his bike!

Hi.

We missed you yesterday.

- You two have a nice day.

- Thanks.

- Bye.

- Bye.

You're such a fool.

Don't start with that again!

What's the matter with you?

Paco is a great guy.

He's got a good job and he likes you.

What more do you want?

Your life doesn't have to stop

because your son isn't here.

I mean, we're screwed,

but we're not dead!

That's not it. Besides,

you party enough for both of us.

Wait a second.

I'm just looking for Mr. Right.

There's nothing wrong with that!

And so should you.

Loosen up, tight-ass!

- How's it going?

- Good.

Whoa! Are those new?

Yeah, my mom sent them

for my birthday.

Man,

you're so lucky to have a mom...

who buys you such cool stuff!

I know.

Come on, let's go.

- How did it go yesterday?

- Good, I sold lots of gum.

- Coming to the wrestling match?

- Nah! Gotta work.

Are all three of you crossing?

God has set us on this path.

- A truck is leaving at 11:00.

- Tonight?

What's the problem?

No, no problem. It's just

we didn't think it would be so soon.

- So, who's driving?

- What the hell do you care?

Look, honey.

You've got two choices.

You either get on that truck

or you swim across...

and see if you make it.

Good afternoon.
