¿Qué pasa? Good morning, guys.

What's up, kid? I don't need you today.

I don't need you today, okay?

Hey, kid. What are you doing?

- You just picked him, him and me. - I'm not kidding.

I don't have time for this. I don't have time for these games.

- Come on, man. - Get out. Get out. Come here.

I know you need me for the crawl spaces.

I don't have any crawl spaces. I don't have time for this.

Remember last time that you said that you didn't have no crawl spaces? And look.

Get breakfast.

Did she go to the safe home?

I want to know if my sister's there.

Well, can you tell me something?

Why not?

Did she leave with Lilah?

You fuck off.

Give me some numbers.

Bitch.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry for the interruption.

- My name is Alejandro. - And my name is Carlos.

We are not gonna lie to you.

We are not here selling candy for no school basketball team.

In fact, I don't even go to school.

And if you want me back in school today, I got candy for you.

Which do you want?

- How much? - A dollar.

Which do you want?

- I'll take that one. - That one?

What do you got? What kind of candy is that?

I got some chocolates, some candies.

Thank you.

Want some candy?

Two more to make it five even.

Give me one of those and one of those, okay?

There. Now you give me 15 back, okay?

Yo, Rob's looking for new workers.

For real? Will he let me live in his garage?

- Hell yeah. I could hook you up. - All right, cool. Let's go.

Yo, yo, yo.

Got this mirror.

- What year? - It's a '92.

Yo, Rob, '92.

- Yeah, I got it. Bring it over here. - Little bit, little bit.

I'll fix that windshield, too, 'cause I see it's cracked.

Come over here. Go upstairs. It's upstairs.

What's up, boss?

- $80 and mirror installed. - Eighty?

- Yup. - All right.

What about the windshield? Can you fix the windshield?

180, friend.

- Where is it? I don't see it. - Check it up here, rack 51.

- It's 180 for the windshield. - 180, 80, 260 everything.

- Okay. Do you do bodywork, too? - Yeah.

All right. Maybe a little bit of bodywork on the other side of the car.

What about inspections?

- Nah, I don't do inspections. - Okay.

Hey, put it over there. Go get the tools. Put it on for him.

Wants the windshield, too?

What? No, don't worry about the windshield.

Ale, here's the key.

- Make sure to lock everything up good. - Uh-huh.

Come on, Ringo.

Come on.

Good boy.

Good boy. Come on. Inside.

That's it. Stay out of my office.

I got a lot of shit I don't want nobody touching in there, okay?

Go to Stella's, get yourself something to eat before 10:00. All right?

Ale, put that shit in the dumpster, too.

Mm-hmm.

Is Isamar there?

This is Alejandro. Is this Lilah?

When is she getting back?

I want to leave a message.

Shorty. Stay on your side, shorty. Yo, yo.

You're leaning too much. You gotta stay over there, man.

Oh, what's up?

How you doing?

- How you been? - Fine.

- You sure? - Yeah.

You've gotten skinnier. What's going on with you?

Nothing.

I called all the safe homes, and you weren't there.

I'm not staying in the safe homes. I'm never going back there.

- Why not? - 'Cause I'm not.

I was staying at Lilah's. Yo, what's with all these questions?

You still following Lilah and believing her bullshit?

It's not bullshit. Her aunt is really waiting for us in Florida.

We're gonna go to those private schools. We just don't got money right now.

Yeah, sure you're going to Florida.

Like our uncle was to call us, what, a year ago?

And that fake chain around your neck. Did Lilah get you that, too?

It ain't fake.

I used to sell that stuff on 37th Ave.

Ale, you worked there for a week.

A week is long enough to know that them sneakers is fake as hell.

My sneakers are not fake. They're official.

- So let me see them. - Ale, I can't.

Ale, stop. Ale. Ale -

- Yo, you finally got us a place, huh? - Yeah, and I got you a job, too.

Laura's mad cool.

She cooks rice, beans, flautas,

and, you know, everything else.

And you don't got to worry about it 'cause you know how to do that stuff too.

Ale, we're staying here?

No, straight upstairs. Come on. Come on.

Now, you better not quit this job like you did the last job.

The last job was wack and it was boring.

So what?

- This is it. - It's small.

It ain't small. It's mad big.

Look, there's a bed, a microwave and a fridge.

Look. Look!

Well...

Country Club. All grape. You want one right now?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

This is all the stuff you brung?

- This the owner? - Yeah, that's Rob.

- He knows I'm here, right? - Of course.

- Ale. - I'm serious.

I just finished talking to him, like, four hours ago.

Yeah. Yo, this door locks?

Why do we need a lock on this if there's a giant lock outside? Come over here.

- I need to show you something. - What?

There's a bathroom downstairs. Our own bathroom.

- Our own bathroom? - Yup.

- It got a shower? - Yup.

- Where's it at? - Downstairs.

Where, Ale?

- To the left. - My left? Where?

- No, to the right, to the right. - Real funny, Ale.

Give me this jack, Ringo.

Sit. Yo, come on, go to work.

Ringo, give me.

Give me.

You could come this way.

Come on. Pull it in here.

Fill this up and give me that. Hurry up.

There's people waiting. Come on, hurry up.

Come on, girl.

It's only the first day. Things are gonna start getting better.

Ale, all she does is complain and bitch at me all the time.

Come on, now. She ain't all that bad. I'm gonna work this shit out.

- Don't worry about it. - What you gonna work out?

I got us this place to stay at Rob's for free.

- I could fix this, too. - Man, whatever.

I'm serious. I'm gonna work this shit out. Don't worry about it.

Yo, where you going with that thing?

I'm going to Joe's. Come and give me a hand.

- Hey, is this that tire? - Yeah.

Here's your money.

Nice. Strike two.

That's strike two? ¡Ay!

Come on, same time, same time.

That shit is heavy!

Let me try to knock it down.

- Hold up. Wait for this. - Hell no.

Hold up. Let me hit it once.

- Ah, you suck. - Yo, that shit's heavy.

- So, where were you? - I woke you up, Ale? I'm sorry.

You were probably out with Lilah.

- Why you always think that I'm with Lilah? - So, where were you, then?

I was out shopping. Look what I bought.

If you like it made by blind people, yeah.

Then I guess you don't want what I bought you.

- Quit playing. - No.

- Quit playing. - You dis my shirt, you're not getting it.

It's probably ugly anyway.

You're so stubborn.

So, do you like it?

It's better than yours.

It's better than mine? I got it in the same spot.

Mines fit better, anyway.

Oh, please. You know it doesn't.

- Mine looks better. - Whatever.

Get out my bed.

I gotta go brush my teeth anyways.
