Stranger Gave Him a $1 Million Check | Romance Comedy | Full Movie | A Million to One

[00:00:45][music] [music] [music] You know [music and singing] funky Latino [music] funky funky know. [music] You know, freaking [music] fun.

[00:01:36][music] Venezuela [music] [music] DJ [music] know everything. [music] >> [music] >> get funky.

[00:02:13]>> People get funky.

[00:02:16][music] >> That's my dad, Juan Lopez. And he's always saying funny things like, "Uh, I never met an odd job that didn't like me." [music] Or, "If variety is the spice of life, I'm overseas."

[00:02:30]He says he's going for the Guinness Book of Records for most jobs done by one man in a lifetime. If my uncle bet me a pizza that he'd never make it, but the way dad's going, I'll be stretching cheese in no time.

[00:02:47]>> That's me, Alejandra Lopez, and I'm almost 10 years old and an artist. And that's Patricia, my friend. And that's her mom, Mrs. Gonzalez, who's a really great expert on angels and saints. Every day between 2:30 and sunset, I come here with Patricia after school until my dad picks me up.

[00:03:07]>> Well, I can feel the sun starting to go, so he should be getting on a bus just about now.

[00:03:18]This is my favorite time of the day with him. You see, my dad's not a morning person. He says that if man was meant to get up early, God wouldn't have had to create coffee.

[00:03:29]I think it's just that morning is the time when he misses mom the most. You see, she had to go to heaven about 3 years ago. Just then, Grandma Ta had this incredible dream of my dad and me living in some smoky place surrounded by angels. So, of course, we moved here to Los Angeles. But so far, the only angels we've discovered are in Anaheim. And I'm a Dodger fan.

[00:03:57]>> I thought it was Jenkins. He's supposed to bring me a plumber to fix my sink.

[00:04:01]>> Yeah, well, you'd have better luck waiting for Elvis to show up.

[00:04:03]>> Hey, puppy.

[00:04:04]>> Hi, Miho.

[00:04:05]>> Have you seen this latest? Look at that.

[00:04:07]It looks exactly like Patricia. God has blessed your son with the hands of a great artist.

[00:04:13]>> It's beautiful. Miho, you're home from work early.

[00:04:16]>> She didn't go to work today. She's sick again.

[00:04:19]>> And you're making her sit right here by the window. Patrica, you should be in bed. No, >> I'm feeling much better now.

[00:04:25]>> It's freezing in here. Jenkins hasn't fixed the heater yet, and I've been after him for over a month, but he doesn't listen to me. Now, put this on.

[00:04:35]>> Mrs. Gonzalez, I feel so bad about the money I owe you, cuz I know if you had it, you could fix the heater yourself.

[00:04:41]>> Don't worry about that.

[00:04:42]>> But I'm going to talk to Jenkins. I'm going to make sure he fixes everything and I'll pay it just as soon as I can.

[00:04:47]Eh, >> I already told you it's not good to worry about money. That's why we have the Saints and they don't like it when we don't trust them.

[00:05:00]Let me see here. Which is the one that's good for money troubles? Hold this.

[00:05:06]Okay.

[00:05:12]Here. Drink this.

[00:05:14]>> What is it?

[00:05:14]>> Don't ask.

[00:05:19]Okay. And a little [cough] bit of Santa [clears throat] Barbara spray. Yeah, that'll do it. [snorts] Okay, cala. Yeah, it's out of our hands.

[00:05:32]>> That's Anita, my dad's new girlfriend.

[00:05:35]>> Hi.

[00:05:35]>> I hope she's not going to be my new mom because I'm okay with just having two uncles instead. Uncle Jorge, who likes to carve, and Uncle Alvaro, who likes to garden. And they both love, >> you know, Spanish soaps.

[00:06:05]Anyways, that's just about everybody who's anybody except for a few surprises and this story of how oranges changed our lives forever. [laughter] >> [music] >> Aladdin, you better rub your lap. You're running out of Budweiser and you know that's my favorite brew.

[00:06:29]>> Take a chill pill, old boy. We said you got your brew and I really appreciate the artwork on my wall outside. Lopez Alejandro, what do you need today?

[00:06:42]>> Well, just the usual.

[00:06:43]>> Dad, don't forget my licorice.

[00:06:46]>> I don't know if I have enough, but All right. All right, >> let's see.

[00:06:49]Rice $125, tortillas 55, cumin 49.

[00:06:58]In India we use curry. And the reason we call it curry is because when you eat too much, you have to curry curry to the bathroom.

[00:07:08]And liquid 60 cent for a grand total of $2.89.

[00:07:14]I got $160. Uh let me owe you uh $1.29.

[00:07:18]Can I pay you tomorrow?

[00:07:26]>> No credit in any language. Don't even ask.

[00:07:29]>> Please. I'm a good customer. I'm here all the time. I'll pay you tomorrow.

[00:07:33]>> Don't you understand Spanish? This is not a territory. Put something back.

[00:07:37]Have you know pride as well? Don't you want to be a good example for Alejandro?

[00:07:42]Look at Alejandro.

[00:07:45]Come here. You're getting to be such a big and tall boy. Give me that. That leaves you short 69 cent.

[00:07:54]>> Well, how about without the cumin?

[00:07:57]>> You're still short. 20 cent, >> dude. Dad, here's a quarter.

[00:08:03]>> It's your lucky day.

[00:08:06]You get a nickel bag.

[00:08:10]>> Thank you.

[00:08:12]>> It's all right, Dad.

[00:08:14]I don't need that anyway. It's bad for teeth.

[00:08:23]>> Papy, these beans are a lot better at Mrs. >> You should get a job as a cook somewhere.

[00:08:29]>> I've tried. Jobs like that are hard to come by.

[00:08:31]>> You can't even get work at the street corner anymore. Every day is like the United Nations. One more country more desperate than we are.

[00:08:37]>> And if you ask for a little more, nobody hires you. Well, it's better than carrying some impacts for $3 a day in Mexico. Sure, you make more money here, but it cost more to live. So, what's the difference? At least Mexico is beautiful, huh? Life is simple.

[00:08:50]>> When we were in Mexico, all you did was complain.

[00:08:52]>> I should never have listened to you.

[00:08:53]Come to America. Heaven on earth. Become hell to me. As soon as I get some fettia, I'm going back.

[00:08:59]>> Well, you sent us a postcard.

[00:09:04]>> Come on, Horge. How's my son ever going to learn manners with you around?

[00:09:07]>> You know, in some countries, it's good manners to burp after you eat. It shows the cook that you like the meal.

[00:09:11]>> In this country, it's bad manners.

[00:09:13]Marano, anyone want some more coffee?

[00:09:16]>> I'll have some. But change that sock.

[00:09:19]You've had that sock in there for 3 weeks now. That coffee is starting to taste like my shoes. Do you think so?

[00:09:25][laughter] >> It's that time of the month again.

[00:09:28]Muchachos.

[00:09:30]>> Elento esuo.

[00:09:34]Time to po El Pipero.

[00:09:37]What's this? Poor food. I love poor food.

[00:09:42]>> Want some coffee?

[00:09:43]>> No.

[00:09:45]>> Patron, we keep paying the rent, but you don't fix our toilet. It's been backed up for 4 months.

[00:09:51]>> Go get the money from the camp.

[00:09:53]>> Mr. Jenkins, um, our toilet has been broken for 4 months. When do you suppose you can fix it?

[00:09:58]>> What are you, some kind of a oneman complaint department?

[00:10:00]>> No. Come on. You're living in a palace compared to the way you people usually live? here.

[00:10:09]>> That kid gets one inch taller, he starts paying rent. Anybody taller than me, they pay rent.

[00:10:15]>> So, he takes advantage of us because he knows we can't complain to nobody.

[00:10:19]>> Well, that was the last of my money. If I don't get a job, I don't know what I'm going to do.

[00:10:24]>> Mr. Jenkins is going to throw us out.

[00:10:26]>> You can always get a job selling oranges for ectog. I wouldn't work selling oranges for ectog if it was the last job on earth. You have to increase their productivity. You're not managing them correctly. Why? Why do I keep seeing oranges instead of money at the end of the day for me? Why?

[00:10:42]>> He hasn't sold a single bag today.

[00:10:44]>> And whose fault is that? That's your fault.

[00:10:47]>> They don't speak English. They don't know. They have never been in this country. It's all your fault. How do you think we're going to pay the rent? Tell them to to to do something.

[00:10:56]>> You know, if you want to remain a representative of Delgato Oranges, you better start selling. Everything's dying out here.

[00:11:01]>> Well, it's still early. Maybe business will pick up.

[00:11:04]>> Well, it better be for your sake.

[00:11:11]>> You know, Anita's been complaining that you haven't taken her out anymore.

[00:11:15]>> When did you see Anita?

[00:11:17]>> Last night at the bar with her cousin, Harmona, >> man, she told me she was homesick.

[00:11:22]>> Sick and tired, probably. You know, a beautiful woman like Anita, she might start looking for a man who can give her what she really needs.

[00:11:32]>> [laughter] >> I HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY. HURRY UP. WE GOT ANY MORE PEOPLE. [laughter] You people recycle this, don't you?

[00:12:24]HEY, [screaming] WHAT? STILL SELLING THAT ORANGES, HUH?

[00:12:28]>> HEY, Shell Shack, >> you're a little late today, huh?

[00:12:31]>> Yeah, you don't learn, huh? Oranges? You watch and learn. I'll show you how to do this thing, brother.

[00:12:39]>> Oranges. Good. Good. You ain't going to make a million dollars with oranges.

[00:12:45]>> Watch and learn, Russ, brother. Doctor is in.

[00:12:48]>> Hey, uh uh ain't you kind of young TO A >> DESERT STORM VIETNAM? IT'S ALL THE SAME, BROTHER. Mercy on the wounded.

[00:12:57]>> Oh, you poor thing here.

[00:13:00]>> Thank you. Thank you. Bless you. Thank you very much, brother. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, you are a fox.

[00:13:08]>> Somalia.

[00:13:19]and renewal victim.

[00:13:23]Oh, >> thank you. Thank you.

[00:13:26]God bless you. Oh, y'all beautiful.

[00:13:28]>> Bye. Take care. [laughter] >> Very cute.

[00:13:33]>> Keep America free. America number one.

[00:13:35]Number one.

[00:13:36]>> Bye.

[00:13:38]>> Yeah. You never learn.

[00:13:39]>> Hey, uh, don't you feel guilty fooling people like that?

[00:13:42]>> Listen, there's two kinds of people, fool. The ones who lose doing the right thing and the ones who win doing their own thing.

[00:13:49]>> Yeah, I guess it's time for sushi.

[00:13:52][laughter] Hey, big party tonight. Yeah, them liquor girls are wild.

[00:14:00]Well, you have a good day, man. I'll see you later. What? Orange is [screaming] good. [laughter] You know, when I started out, I used to sell 200 bags a day, minimum. He hasn't sold a single bag today. Have you won?

[00:14:19]>> Hey, Anita, what are you doing in that truck with him?

[00:14:22]>> Hector's taking me for a ride. If you had a car, I would have asked you, but you don't.

[00:14:27]>> You know, the rancher's selling oranges.

[00:14:28]In about 20 years, you might be able to buy a bicycle. [laughter] >> You coming over tonight? I thought maybe Alejandro or you and I can run out and get a bite to eat. I am supposed to be going out with you, Juan, not Alejandro.

[00:14:40]See what I mean? All he cares about is Alejandro. Alejandro.

[00:14:45]>> Hector Delgato always puts the woman first. I put her on a pedestal like a goddess. And when she comes down from that pedestal, she's down on the ground with me.

[00:14:57]>> Get out that truck.

[00:14:59]>> Do you see a diamond ring on my finger?

[00:15:01]A wedding band? No, I don't think so.

[00:15:04]>> You know why? You can't boss me around.

[00:15:06]No, I can do what I please. Maybe I'll come see you after we get back from our ride.

[00:15:13]>> Ready to go, Hector? I'm getting bored.

[00:15:18][laughter] >> Come on.

[00:15:33]>> [music] [music] [music] >> or just [music] dead.

[00:16:04]>> [music] [music and singing] [music] [singing] [music] [music] >> Double your money. Come on. Stop right there. Stop right there. Come on now.

[00:16:32]Find the king. Find the king, dog. Come on. Find the running king. Give me a beating.

[00:16:36]>> I made some very like that.

[00:16:40]>> Don't be [music] a white man. Find the king. Find the king. Find the running key. Give me a beating.

[00:16:50]>> What happened to you?

[00:16:52]>> Long story, but I made some money.

[00:16:56]Count that for me. Well, that's good because Alvaro and I didn't work again today.

[00:17:01]>> Hey, did Anita call? No, but uh Senorita Smith did. What' she say?

[00:17:06]>> She wants you to go to the immigration office Monday at 10:00 a.m. It's about your amnesty. $62.

[00:17:14]>> Maybe things are looking up. Maybe it's approved. What are you carving?

[00:17:18]>> I don't know.

[00:17:20]I'll tell you when I'm finished.

[00:17:24]>> We got to eat out more often.

[00:17:28]Boy, that steak was good. I'm glad somebody's making money.

[00:17:31]>> One thing's for sure, Jorge. You didn't.

[00:17:34]Excuse me, but did you bring in any money today? Well, at least I helped Mrs. Gonzalez run some errands.

[00:17:38]>> Big deal. Oh, well, you two stop it.

[00:17:40]You're like sisters. At least you had a normal day. Today I lost my girlfriend on the day I sold the most oranges ever.

[00:17:46]There. You see? One door closes, another one opens. But a real strange thing did happen. This guy in a limousine drives up, right? I walk up to him like I'm going to sell oranges. And I don't sell no oranges. She opens the window, it rolls down, and gives me this envelope.

[00:18:01]Maybe it's a warrant or an eviction notice.

[00:18:08]>> It's a check with my name on it.

[00:18:11]H, look at all the zeros.

[00:18:13]>> We're used to zeros. How many?

[00:18:15]>> How many zeros in a million?

[00:18:17]>> Four.

[00:18:17]>> Six.

[00:18:18]>> It's a million. How many L's in a million?

[00:18:20]>> Four.

[00:18:21]>> Two.

[00:18:22]>> Give me that. It's got to be a fake.

[00:18:25]Yeah, it looks like the ones you get in the junk mail. I got one of these from that looking for stars guy and then I try to cash it and they try to sell me an encyclopedia.

[00:18:35]>> Yeah, you're right. Some dude just playing a joke.

[00:18:38]>> Hey, look. There's a note in here.

[00:18:45]Mo, read this for daddy. My eyes burn. Okay.

[00:18:57]Dear Juan Lopez, enclosed you will find a sum of money. It is lent to you for 30 days without interest [music] to use any way you want. In 30 days exactly, report to the same corner where we met and return the check. This is an experiment.

[00:19:14]If it is [music] successful and you prove yourself worthy, you shall be given a gift.

[00:19:19]>> An experiment?

[00:19:21]Yeah. They want to see how stupid you are.

[00:19:24]>> Sounds spooky.

[00:19:25]>> It sure looks real.

[00:19:27]>> I'd buy myself the most incredible bike in the entire world.

[00:19:31]>> I'd get a farm and grow vegetables and flowers. I'd start my own business.

[00:19:37]>> I get some nice threads, a new car, and a pair of fas.

[00:19:43][laughter] I don't think you have any choice.

[00:19:53]>> You want me to take my son to a country he's never even been to.

[00:19:55]>> No, I don't even want you to leave. I I That's why I tried this amnesty angle because I thought with all your complications, Senior Lopez, >> what complications? I've explained to you. I was born here. I was born in a strawberry field >> outside of Bakersfield.

[00:20:10]>> Yes. And when my mother died.

[00:20:12]>> I know. When you were 6 years old, >> I went to Mexico >> to live with your grandmother.

[00:20:15]>> And when she died, >> I know you came back here. I know.

[00:20:18]>> You know, >> I know. I know. But >> I know you know >> they don't know. They need documentation. There are three other options that you have though. Um if you find a job you're uniquely qualified for or if you start a significant business yourself or if you marry an American citizen.

[00:20:34]>> All the American citizens I know are illegal. I'm not uniquely qualified for anything.

[00:20:39]>> Start a significant business with what?

[00:20:44]>> With this.

[00:20:45]>> What's this?

[00:20:50]Where did you get this?

[00:20:51]>> I was selling oranges off the corner and some big limousine came by, rolled down the window, and handed me that.

[00:20:57]>> It's a million dollar check.

[00:20:58]>> I know. If it's real, I'll buy you lunch.

[00:21:01]>> There's a note here. Did you read the note? I don't understand this. It says you can use this for a month, but then you have to give it back.

[00:21:09]>> What does it mean?

[00:21:10]>> I don't know. How can you use a check you can't cash?

[00:21:14]Well, anyway, it's probably not real, you know, but take it to the bank.

[00:21:19]>> Well, I called the bank, but they said they couldn't verify over the phone that I had to go in there in person.

[00:21:25]>> Have you ever been in trouble with the law?

[00:21:27]>> The law?

[00:21:31]>> No.

[00:21:33]>> I had a parking ticket once, >> right? So, go into the bank and see if it's real.

[00:21:40]Think you better keep your options open.

[00:21:43]Okay, I'll thank you.

[00:21:46]>> But if it is real, you owe me lunch.

[00:21:49]>> If it's real, I'll cook you lunch.

[00:21:51]>> Thanks. [laughter] Thanks. [clears throat] >> It went bad, huh?

[00:22:03]>> It went good.

[00:22:04]>> No, it didn't go good. I can tell everything's going to be all right.

[00:22:06]>> No, it's not.

[00:22:07]>> What are you guys doing here?

[00:22:09]>> We wanted to see how you made out.

[00:22:12]Well, they denied my green card.

[00:22:13]>> See, I told you I was right. Look, >> just do me a favor. Don't tell Alejandro. Huh? Man, this is terrible.

[00:22:19]You got to be rich to get a green card.

[00:22:21]>> You know how you're right. That's why we should go straight to the bank.

[00:22:25]>> With what, Alvaro? With this? Well, it looks real to me.

[00:22:28]>> Come on. It's a pony.

[00:22:30]>> One door closes and another one opens.

[00:22:33]Let's go to the bank.

[00:22:36]>> It's a million dollars.

[00:52:29]This is really beautiful. I mean, you'd never guess that a Mexican family lives here. I think I'm going to have to raise your rent. You know, this phony millionaire bit may get you a few free beers of the bedga, but I ain't buying it. I want a check or I want cash and I want it right now. Otherwise, you and the little one are out of here.

[00:52:45]>> Just give him the money.

[00:52:46]>> Come on, Primo. Not again. Not this time.

[00:52:47]>> Please, Horge, just do as I say.

[00:52:50]>> Hi. Are you the landlord of this building?

[00:52:52]>> Well, >> yes, I am, pretty lady.

[00:52:54]>> I wonder if I might ask you a question.

[00:52:57]>> Well, of course.

[00:52:58]>> Well, I couldn't help but notice as I was coming up the stairs that most of them are broken and the hallways aren't lighted. There's exposed wiring, rat droppings everywhere, and the fire escapes don't work, and there's a big load of garbage on the side.

[00:53:08]>> So, what's your question? My question is, why haven't any of your tenants called the building inspector or the health department?

[00:53:15]>> Because if they do, I will call the immigration and they will deport their butts. Who are you?

[00:53:19]>> I'm Olivia Smith. Immigration.

[00:53:22]>> Well, well, then do your job. Send them back where they came from. You know, they got no green cards, these people.

[00:53:28]The fact is, I don't care who you are.

[00:53:30]They're going to pay $50 more rent every week, and it starts next week. Give me that.

[00:53:37]>> Have a nice day. Anybody hungry?

[00:53:49]>> Okay.

[00:53:50]>> I hope you hold it in the bowl. Look like a Mexican uh casserole.

[00:53:57][clears throat] >> Oh, one. This. This one. What is this?

[00:54:00]>> Oh, this here. Let me show you some more.

[00:54:03]>> Where did you learn how to cook like this? It's so delicious. Well, I've studied with some of the great chefs of LA.

[00:54:08]>> Yeah. Washing their pots and pans.

[00:54:10][laughter] >> But really, this is I don't can't think of a time I've had a better meal.

[00:54:15]>> Neither can I.

[00:54:31]>> One, why don't you open a restaurant?

[00:54:33]>> That's what we said.

[00:54:34]>> Yeah. You guys could help him with it.

[00:54:36]>> I could grow things for it.

[00:54:37]>> Or I could carve tables, chairs, whatever.

[00:54:39]>> Hey, and I can paint murals on the wall.

[00:54:42]>> Do you really think I could do it?

[00:54:43]>> Oh, of course you could. I You're so gifted and and you're smart and you good with people and you're funny and I mean, all all you really need to do is find a bank that will give you that loan so you can use that check as collateral.

[00:55:01]>> You know, it's funny. I got invited to a party by the vice president of the bank, Mr. uh Dickerson.

[00:55:08]>> You mean Richard Dickerson, who's giving that party on Rodeo?

[00:55:22]I would just stay for the party.

[00:55:24]>> Well, it's okay. I'm not going to go anyways. I wouldn't fit in with all those Beverly Hills people.

[00:55:30]>> No. No. Oh. Oh, I'd be so happy if you would go. Then I'd have someone I could talk to. I don't fit in either.

[00:55:36]>> Yeah.

[01:02:00]Wow. You see that?

[01:02:04]A shooting star. My grandma used to say that every time you see one of those, you ought to make a wish right from the heart.

[01:02:13]Maybe you should then >> you don't think it's silly.

[01:03:03]>> Well, I I to be honest, I'm not in business. I know what kind of business I'd like to be in.

[01:03:14]>> I'd like to own a restaurant. Nothing fancy, just good food at a good price.

[01:03:19]You see, in my restaurant, the bus boy would be as important as the chef. A waiter would be more than just an arm that hands you water. See, I've done those kinds of jobs, and I hate it when they don't look at you in the eyes. I'm a fraud is what I am. The only reason I'm here is because he thinks I've got money. If he only knew that the guy parking cars for him has got more money than I do.

[01:03:45]>> Well, well, well. I say you've met my amigo.

[01:03:49]>> Yes, we were just talking.

[01:03:55]>> Tick, I would like to get a loan from you for a restaurant I plan to open.

[01:04:03]Never use your own money unless you have to. And what do you think? Should I or shouldn't I?

[01:04:07]>> I think Mr. Lopez is a man of integrity, vision.

[01:04:13]I think his restaurant would do really well.

[01:04:17]>> Well, then settled. Yeah. Come see me Monday. You can use your check as collateral. We can be in business in no time.

[01:04:23]>> Really, Dick?

[01:04:24]>> Yeah. Really? No problem.

[01:04:25]>> One's quite a guy.

[01:04:28]>> Yeah, he is.

[01:04:31]>> You're a lucky woman. You know, look, all we have to do is you have to come over and give me some kind of an estimate on um how much you want to borrow and we'll work out the interest.

[01:04:38]Oh, listen. Would you excuse me for a moment, please?

[01:04:41]>> He's going to give me the money.

[01:04:44]>> You got the >> You got the That's so great. [laughter] Let's go and celebrate.

[01:05:01]Well, I I was >> You haven't You haven't met anybody. No, I know what you were doing. You were talking to the help. You spent the whole night talking to the help. You're embarrassing me in front of my associates, quite frankly.

[01:05:11]>> Well, not quite frankly, you're embarrassing me in front of Mike. You >> He's an illegal alien. It's not the same. This is ridiculous. I just >> I think your attitude is ridiculous.

[01:05:21]>> Okay, I think it's time to go home then.

[01:05:24]>> Why don't you go home? I want to stay.

[01:05:26]>> Fine.

[01:05:30]>> Fine. Okay. If there's room in the car, >> let's talk about this when you get home.

[01:05:46]>> I'm really sorry [music] about >> When you go to celebrate something, where do you usually go?

[01:05:58]>> It's only one place.

[01:07:05]>> Father and son things, his homework, the Dodgers. He loves the Dodgers.

[01:07:12]But it's mostly about his mother.

[01:07:13]>> He must miss her a lot.

[01:07:15]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:07:17]>> You must miss her a lot.

[01:07:19]>> Sure.

[01:11:06]I knew it. Wait a minute. What happened?

[01:11:10]She didn't want me or my chocolates. I'm so sorry. Well, but remember, one door closes, another one opens. [snorts] What is it with you and doors? What are you, a salesman?

[01:11:22]>> Forget her. What about Dickerson?

[01:11:25]>> I didn't go. I couldn't take being knocked down twice in one day.

[01:11:28]>> But Mr. Dickerson already said he'd give us the money.

[01:11:30]>> Yeah, and Olivia said she would help me.

[01:11:32]Well, who needs that kind of help?

[01:11:39]>> If I've said it once, I've said it twice. There's only one way to handle him.

[01:11:43]>> As much as possible.

[01:11:46]>> One. One. Come quick. Patricia's fainted.

[01:11:56]Patricia.

[01:11:58]Patricia.

[01:12:49]Well, at least she's in heaven now.

[01:12:51]>> Yeah.

[01:12:53]And we're left in hell.

[01:13:00]And there's nothing we can do about that son of a >> kate.

[01:13:10]That girl shouldn't be in heaven. She should be right here across the hall with her mother.

[01:13:16]That girl died of pneumonia because her window was broken. Because her heater was broken. Because Jenkins promises were broken. And because every time I try to do something about it, one my primo kept saying, "Calmate. [music] Kalmate.

[01:13:28]Do as I say, but what are you saying now? Primo Juan.

[01:13:50]>> Mrs. Gonzalez, it's me, Alejandro.

[01:16:12]Man, they're slamming me, man. They are slamming me. You know what I'm saying?

[01:16:15]Remember we won the horse? No way. The money, the loot.

[01:16:18]>> Why don't you just get lost?

[01:16:19]>> Oh, man. What are you dissing me for?

[01:16:21]What' I do to you?

[01:16:50][music] >> See, you see that? You see that guy?

[01:16:55]This is the way the world is. One half of the world is guys like this running around thinking that luck has an address or a zip code or something. And then you have the other kind of people, >> the people that have a heart, that have dignity, because they never ever stop trying to do the right thing.

[01:17:14]>> And you, one, you should stop being a leaf in the wind.

[01:17:19]Make up your mind.

[01:17:24]>> Good. You're gone, dog.

[01:17:26]>> Yo, man. Lady Luck is a [ __ ] and she's moved. Yo, man. What's up with your pet, dog? There's all kinds of furniture and stuff all over the place, man. Looks like a church experiment.

[01:17:57]>> What the hell you think you're doing?

[01:17:58]>> Put the couch down.

[01:18:00]>> That's what I need. A little drama in my life. What the hell do you think you're doing? Poncho.

[01:18:03]>> The woman just lost her daughter.

[01:18:04]Probably because you wouldn't fix the heater and now you're throwing her out on the street.

[01:18:08]>> Tell it to Haraldo. I mean, if I want to hear a sob story, I'll watch a soap opera. One of your nollas. Huh?

[01:18:14]>> Nothing matters with you, does it? Not her, not me. Not none of us. It's all about money with you, isn't it?

[01:18:21]>> Look, it's the cops. THE COPS ARE HERE.

[01:18:35]PEOPLE. HE PULLED a knife on me. He pulled a knife on me.
