Lady of Guadalupe

John.

How's your wife?

Same.

She's just doing the same.

If not worse.

She may never come back.

I'm sorry.

I should have been with her, Father.

And I wasn't, Father.

Think about the moments you've had together,

instead of the ones you have not.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Hi.

Hi, can I help you?

Yeah, do you have any books on Pancho Villa?

Yes, HH-17.

HH-17, thank you.

Of course.

I'm sorry.

Aisle HH-17.

- Oh, it's the other one. - Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, do you like Christmas parties?

That's a personal question.

Of course I do, everybody does.

Can I get your number?

What for?

So I can maybe invite you

to a really cool Christmas party.

I don't know you.

Right.

Yeah, you're right.

So then,

allow me to introduce myself.

John Martinez.

A young and ambitious reporter.

Pleasure to meet you, John.

Pleasure to meet you too.

But I still don't know you.

But if you give me your number,

you'll get to know me better.

John, would you give a complete stranger your number?

Only to a cute one like you.

Okay.

This better be a great party.

Thank you.

Of course.

Thank you for coming all the way to meet with me here.

Please tell me what happened

after the Virgin appeared in Mexico.

Putiline, how's your father?

Good.

Say hello to him.

I will.

Michitaga.

My cousin.

Do you like the flowers?

Yes.

They're fresh and beautiful.

Just like you.

I think they'll make a perfect offering for Gonati.

An offering?

Yes.

So I can maybe give you a son.

I don't want you getting a second wife.

My love.

I don't need a second wife.

I love you.

Just you.

So do I, my sweet man.

Will you come with me?

To lay my offering?

It is a beautiful day for an offering.

You got it?

Latin Heritage Day.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, bye.

Mr. John Martinez.

How can I help you?

Please, don't make me do this.

Don't give me another Latino story, please.

What's wrong with the story I gave you?

There's nothing wrong.

John, do you remember when I hired you,

I told you that it would take a while

to establish a career here?

Besides, you are our Latin specialist.

Boss, please.

No, no.

Of course you can, come on, I mean...

What is your last name?

What about my last name?

You know my last name.

What is your last name?

Martinez.

There, that sounds like Latin specialist.

The Latin specialist only gives me a story

to write every two weeks.

And?

And I wanna write more.

I want to try to make more money.

John, when you bring in a quality story,

then we can talk about money.

I'm under pressure here, you know?

Mary's having our first baby.

Congratulations.

Well, you know, every baby is a blessing.

Is it a girl or a boy?

No, she's gonna be a girl.

- Wow. - Yeah.

Oh, wait.

That's a real Cuban cigar.

Thank you.

Well...

Thank you, boss.

Look, I just want to know

if there is some future for me here, that's all.

Stop, John, you have a future here.

You know, I gave the piece to Michael

because that's what he does.

He's all over it.

Just look at him.

He knows all about it.

So, that's his thing.

But you're old school, man.

Hey, you still type up your stories on a typewriter.

That's because I have no money for a laptop.

I mean, that's the only reason.

I've got an opportunity for you here, okay?

If you would just write quality Latin stories,

you could make more money than all of these editors here.

So, you're taking that class?

Not yet.

Well, let's get with it.

You need to find out about the Lady of Guadalupe

and the native that she spoke to.

You mean Juan Diego.

Very good, John, you are doing your research.

So we're clear.

You'll write a story about faith.

Because after all, faith is the most important thing

in the holidays.

You're right.

Faith, John.

Faith.

Faith.

- Faith. - Okay.

Faith.

Thanks for the cigar.

Hi, John.

I have some things for you.

Really, what's all this?

So, how's Mary?

She's doing fine, thank you.

Is she ready?

Ready for what?

For the baby to pop.

You know how it is.

It's been hard to get some sleep lately.

Give me a second.

Mr. Dominguez's office.

How may I...

Mr. Dominguez's office.

How may I help you?

Ah, Mr. Dominguez, yes.

Yes, he's here.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Yes, okay.

Bye.

Mr. Dominguez asked me to tell you

to get your A-S-S moving.

And you better be there tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah, tonight.

Mary's gonna kill me, you know that, right?

Yeah.

What's up?

What's going on?

Hey.

Wow.

That's pretty cool.

Hey, sir?

Sir?

Que? What?

How much for a hot dog?

$2.

Let me have one.

- Everything on it? - Sure thing.

So that's the Lady of Guadalupe, huh?

Si, that's my Virgin, Guadalupe.

She's helped me get over here to America

and start my cart and do everything.

That's pretty cool.

She does a lot of miracles, man.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Here's your change.

You know what, this is for you.
