Teacher Mechy

Hello miss!

Hey, Mrs. Pura!

Such a Gossip...

How are you doing, Polon?

What's up Pura?

That's how I like it, straight from the oven!

Give me five breads and half a pound of salami and a milk right away,

but first give me a very cold beer.

Isn't it too early to start drinking?

It's all very dark in there. You don't know what time it is,

and I want to get rid of this hangover that's killing me.

Saray!

Breakfast is ready!

Girl, stop putting on makeup, and come eat some bread,

right now, Berta is about to arrive!

Come on, girl!

Pura! Tell Saray to run! I can't be late!

To run? She can't even crawl.

What's wrong with her?

She's knocked up!

Come on let's do this!

On Fire, move on, let's work. Can I help you lady?

- No, thank you. - You're welcome.

Girl, what's all the fuss about? You're late, uh?

Sh! I had an argument with Charlie.

Besides, are you going to exaggerate to heat things between me and the cousin?

When you know he's the one that puts us to work until late.

And you say nothing, that's why they treat you the way they treat you.

You're way too soft, that doesn't fly with me!

I'll say it to that jerk's face.

Why is he angry? Cause I'm a few minutes late? How abusive.

Look brother...

My boss is really dope!

You're 18 minutes late.

Since I'm an abuser, I'm going to discount you the entire hour.

No, cousin! If you do that my whole year is ruined.

Scoundrel. Rafa, leave that box,

and let's attend the merchandise that just arrived.

Let's go, let's go!

I was kidding. He takes everything so serious.

You think this business is yours? I'm no bootlicker.

Because you get scared when you see him.

And you panicked. You had to speak right there bro.

That's why I called you bootlicker.

You do not control your mouth, knowing how he is.

And things are difficult,

because I haven't helped Mom or Saray for a couple of weeks.

I don't get it.

Everyone comes to this country to advance a go forward,

but you just keep going backwards and backwards.

That's me. I'm like an athlete crab, walking backwards.

I've been 4 years in this country, and I'm doing worse than when I arrived.

If you don't have citizen papers here you can't move forward.

That's the truth.

And if you are counting with that useless husband of yours...

With who? With Charlie?

That guy only lives off coupons. I'm tired of him, Rafa.

I'm being honest.

I'm desperate with this situation.

Did you bring dinner?

Yes, darling.

It just happens that the store did not have the ingredient to make the dish that you like.

They were out of Rat Poison.

Oh, well, she's going to keep arguing.

Listen, Charlie, do you really think I'm stupid?

You brought me here telling me that you were going to give me papers

and you haven't done anything.

You have me here as a servant, while you're sitting there, like a pimp,

because you're so "cool", right?

You don't even move from that chair.

Don't tell me that, honey.

Get out of here.

You have me sick and bored. I'm not kidding, Charlie.

I'm not kidding, I'm telling you.

Hello?

Blessings, honey.

Hi, mom blessings, how are you guys over there?

The girl has a stomach problem.

Damn, mom, you guys let that girl spend the whole day eating junk food.

Her stomach must be filled up with fat.

Eating junk, and junk, fried food and sausage...

Well, she ate the sausage all right.

But did something else with it.

You're going to be a grandmother.

I'm going to be a grandmother, mom?!

I'm going back to my country.

Are you serious? You want to return to Santo Domingo?

I know that you have few neurons,

but the ones you have left, Mechy, see you as an enemy.

Cousin, my head is completely fine, do you hear me?

I won't leave my daughter all alone. No way.

Did you think it through?

Very thoroughly.

Cousin, I need you to help me out with something.

I'm counting on you.

Help a fellow countrywoman.

Well, let me think about it.

What do you mean think about it? You have to help her.

Listen, don't leave him anything.

Sell everything you bought.

By the way, what did he say?

He took it well, it felt good.

Mercedes!

Dammit, Berta, I was working in New York like an animal,

waking up early in the morning, just for Saray to do this to me?

It took us all by surprise.

Hell, get a tattoo, belly button piercing or something

but getting knocked up?

Well, she's not the first, and won't be the last.

I'll tell you something, Berta, I returned completely broke.

I could barely bring little money to survive.

Did you get to talk whit the Cacamancoa?

I did, but you know she doesn't like you.

I worked 10 years for that woman in that school and I was never appreciated.

The issue is that in this country

any Youtuber earns more than a teacher in a school.

But now I'm here, and I'm going to fight

because I'll get a job with Gods help, I swear it.

Are you crazy? If Charlie couldn't beat me, nobody can.

Amen, that's the attitude I like, you see?

Don't worry, I'll talk with Cacamancoa and we will solve this thing right away.

Always forward.

Not only that. I can't leave Mom alone with all these problems.

Well, Pura is a different story.

What? Is she pregnant, too?!

No, it's nothing like that.

Oh, you're killing me.

- Here. - Hey, you nasty boy,

It's three and a half.

No, can't do. Forget it.

What do you mean by "forget it"? Who's going to pay?

Tell Polon to stop bothering me, that he can add it to my bill.

Mechy arrives from abroad today and there will be money.

- Oh, yes. - Tell him to take it easy.

Oh, my God.

You know her.

The American is coming! Turn up the music!

- My girl! - Mom!

How are you?

Great...

Saray, come and say hi, my dear.

Saray!

Excuse me, guys.

Saray?

You know that I came from New York to help you, right?

So we can fight this together.

But who told you to come?

When you left, nobody asked you either.

Yes, but that's not the way to speak to me.

It's not fair because I wasn't in New York relaxing in a resort.

I was working really hard trying to give you both a better future.

Oh, sure, right.

Well, if you think that it was better to leave me alone with Pura, you have...

Leave her, she will give in.

Yes, but since I wasn't here, it was your responsibility to take care of her.

I can't follow her on the street. I take care of her at home.

Besides, she's really reserved and closed...

What she really had to close was her legs.

My God...

All she has to do is say who was the joker who filled her tank.

Saray, my dear, it's not easy to raise a child alone.

Look at me, your dad disappeared when you started walking.

And he fled without leaving a trace, until this day.

We've only found useless men...

I don't want that for you.

You have to tell us who got you pregnant.

- Tell me! - Enough!

Leave me alone!

Miss, Mechy is a great teacher, at least listen to her.

Why? She was really irresponsible when she left the school.

Mechy needs that job more than ever.

Berenice is about to go on medical leave. Give her the opportunity to substitute her.

Also, with the pregnant daughter, it could be a problem.

Matilde, God, don't be so judgmental.

That could happen to any girl.

What did you say to me?

Oh my god, this is the last straw.

Berta, look, I don't want Mechy here.

What happened?

Nothing. That woman doesn't want anything to do with you.

That nasty woman is not going to receive me?

Calm down, Mechy, we will solve this. Take it easy.

What's that?

Rafa lent it to me by, my friend from the New York warehouse.

You know, so I could move around.

Sis, I need you to help me find a job.

I'm going to go to the regional offices to take some resumes.

I had a few contacts, but those people probably aren't there.

And I'll talk with some of my teacher friends, to spread word that we are looking for work.

What's up my traveler?!

Polon, look who's here?!

It's "The Mechy", people! That's the real deal!

She sure knows how to dance bachata.

She taught all the little girls in this neighborhood to dance.

Mom, aren't you going to stop the partying?

Mechy, you know I was crazy to talk to you since I found out that you arrived.

How are you, Polon? Talk to me.

Your mom has a few bills pending, and I'm counting on you to pay me.

Mom, what's going on? Polon says you have some pending bills.

It's nothing, pennies, don't worry about him.
