The Blue Drum

I want to thank you all for being here today.

I know some of you traveled quite a long way.

That was a beautiful speech.

He would be very proud.

My father was a kind and gentle man.

He sacrificed everything to raise me on his own.

It's really a good deal. An excellent deal.

- You have yourself a deal. - Okay. You're gonna love it.

And I know I wouldn't be the woman I am today

without his love and dedication.

But today is about celebrating his life

and preserving his memory.

- Thank you. - Thank you. Bye-bye.

He loved that car.

You're not wearing the ring.

I should give that back.

You know, Letty...

You're gonna have to start letting people in.

Not everybody leaves.

Well, that's done.

Someone will pick up the furniture tomorrow morning.

Oh now, look what you've done!

- It wasn't me. -

I didn't touch it. I swear!

It's all right, I'll get a broom.

Careful.

Hey, Letty, let me help.

I got it.

What are they?

Ball bearings.

Why do you got so many of them?

They're not mine. They were my dad's.

Why did he have so many of them?

Well, he made them.

No, please don't. They're not toys.

It looks like a toy.

Kids, why don't you go outside?

- -

Leticia!

Leticia.

We should start packing.

After the guests leave, of course.

Aunt Norma, you're unbelievable.

Excuse me?

He's not in the ground a day

and you're already selling off all of his things?

Well, someone has to pay for the funeral.

My God, you are vultures. All of you!

No, no, you need to learn how to let things go.

I mean, look at this place.

It's like a museum.

Oh, don't become like him.

And what would be so wrong with being like him?

He was an incredible father.

But a horrible brother and a horrible husband.

- It's no wonder that your mother left him. - Shut up! I...

- No. - Leticia, please.

- Listen to me, please. - I want you out.

- Ladies, calm down. - No, get out. I want you out.

- Calm down. - I want you out!

- Now! - All right, take it easy.

Take it easy. I'll take you home.

- -

I LOVE YOU, MY LITTLE GIRL. I WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE. YOUR MOM.

I dropped off your aunt.

I didn't think you were coming back.

What's that?

I don't understand why he would hide all this.

No idea.

What? What does that say?

It says, "I love you, my little girl."

"I'll always be by your side."

"Your mom."
