Buenos dias, Mary.
Buenos dias.
My son came to me in a dream last night.
Mmm. Your love is a beacon for his spirit.
The pain never goes away.
Even after all these years.
He would've been 34 last month.
He watches over you, Mary.
You've been such a comfort to me, Anna.
Something else is troubling you.
It's my daughter, Theresa.
I don't know what to do. She's so...
...teenage.
[both laugh]
Yes, yes.
She's lost sight of our traditions.
She just makes fun of them.
She's 16 and she has no plans for the future.
She just giggles with her girlfriends.
She doesn't even talk about having a family of her own.
She's still really young, Mary.
It's just...
Michael Junior was just so...
...perfect.
People used to envy our family.
They used to envy me.
Theresa is some source of shame for you?
No. No, Theresa, no.
She is the... the brightest light in my life.
But I worry about the decisions she makes.
So... so what can you tell me about her future?
Let's see what the cards say.
Okay.
♪
Oh.
What... what is it?
I see a boy.
[chuckles]
Good.
Since we know that P equals pressure and V equals volume,
who can tell me what the N, R, and T stand for?
[balloon squeaks]
Jimmy. Is there some problem?
No.
That looks, uh... correct to me.
I'm not talking about the equation.
[balloon squeaks]
[students laugh]
Well, then, Miss Crosby,
for the life of me, I don't know what you mean.
Hand it over.
[balloon squeaks]
[thunder rumbles]
Slut!
Jimmy, hey!
End the game.
Women are evil.
Foul!
Oh my God.
Hi.
Are you okay?
What are you doing tonight?
Uh... I don't know.
What's your name?
Theresa.
Jimmy.
[laughing]
[boys cheering] Ya!
Hi, Mom.
Hi!
Come and give me a kiss.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
-What? -Come here.
Bring your lips with you.
Mom... I just got new lipstick at the mall.
I don't know how you expect to meet a boy with your face
all painted like that.
Well, actually, I just got asked out by a very nice boy.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Who?
Jimmy Simpson.
He's a junior.
Okay. Tell me more about this boy.
I don't know, he's... he's just a boy.
What do you want me to say?
Bring him by so we can look him over.
Mom. Come on.
You're not going out with a boy if we haven't met him.
Mom...
I promise I won't embarrass you.
Really?
Well, your father might embarrass you,
but it's part of his charm.
[chuckles]
Yeah. Great.
You're so bad.
Hey, it wasn't my fault.
Oh, I'll bet. [laughs]
So, listen, um...
Friday night before we go out...
would it be weird if you came over for dinner first?
Like, for dinner with your parents?
Yeah.
My mom, she really wants to meet you, but she's...
kinda old school, you know, a little crazy.
Ooh! Dinner with a crazy lady. I'm so there.
No, you know what I mean.
She just has her own way of thinking.
But not in a bad way, you know, she's nice and super sweet.
Hey, hey, I'm just playing.
Movie's on me. Dinner's on your mom.
Should I bring anything?
No. Just you.
Dad, he's gonna be here any second.
I had to get a shirt.
And where are your shoes?
Shoes? Shoes are for squares, Theresita.
Dad, I'm not joking. Please hurry up.
Hi.
Mija, you worry too much.
And why are there pictures of the Virgin Mary everywhere?
Ah-ah-ah.
He's gonna love us.
[doorbell rings]
Uh... I'll... I'll go get the door.
He's so punctual.
For you.
Thank you.
The rest are for the lady of the house.
Oh. How beautiful.
University of Texas.
Yeah, um, my parents both went there.
I mean, I still have a year before applications are due,
but they have a really great engineering program.
Mm-hmm. What's your grade point average?
Mom.
Um... 3.9.
Ooh! Very impressive, son.
Thank you, Dr. Ramirez.
And your family, are they religious?
Oh, yeah. We're Lutherans.
Okay. [chuckles]
Do you speak Spanish?
Well, I grew up in McAllen, so... un poco.
[laughing]
And you said you're on the honor roll.
Yeah. Unless I blow it my senior year.
Do you plan to follow in your father's footsteps?
Go into business?
He's 17, Mom.
Your father and I married when we were 19.
Is family important to you?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I like the idea of a stable family life.
My parents divorced when I was 11.
Ay dios mio.
Nobody died, Mom.
People get divorced all the time.
It's okay.
And children, do you... do you like children?
Yeah. Well, it, uh...
it depends how you cook 'em.
Oh! [laughs]
[all laughing]
You are terrible.
I love Willie movies. Even when he doesn't sing.
Oh, really?
Are you sure it wasn't the Playboy model?
There was a Playboy model in that movie?
I wonder what her GPA was.
Oh, God.
Please don't remind me.
Hey. I'm... I'm so sorry.
Was that dinner pure torture?
Pure?
No.
Oh, God.
No, it was fine.
I think I passed the test?
Yeah, big time, with flying colors.
I mean, my mom basically has us married now,
if you didn't catch the subtlety.
Yeah.
I kinda figured that was a cultural thing.
No, it was a... my mom thing.
Theresa.
It's gonna take a lot more than a nosy mom
to scare me away from you.

[dramatic music]
[whispers] Night.
[whispers] Good night.
Did you have fun?
I had a great time.
He's so funny.
Escúchame, Theresa.
Hold onto this boy with everything you've got.
Do you like him?
Are you kidding?
Good student, good family, big ambitions.
Well, we'll see where it goes.
I mean, I really like him.
Don't worry, it's gonna go well.
Anna said she saw a boy.
Anna saw what?
[chuckles] Don't worry, it's all good.
And it's late. Go to bed.
-Okay. -Love you.
[women laughing]
Yeah. I know.
What about Harvard?
Uh... nope. She didn't even bother to apply
to any other schools.
To her, it was Yale or nothing.
Wow, that is so great.
Tell her I say congratulations.
I will.
And where is Theresa applying to?
Oh...
she's only a sophomore.
Well, she should have an idea, don't you think?
Sarah Rose knew where she wanted to go
when she was in the sixth grade.
Mm-hmm.
How is Theresa doing?
Theresa's fine.
Um, actually...
she started getting serious with a boy at school.
[in unison] Oh!
Jimmy Simpson?
Oh...
Theresa's dating Jimmy Simpson?
For about a month now.
Oh. Very nice family.
Mm-hmm. He is a catch, Mary.
All the girls love Jimmy Simpson.
It's true. You should hear Alexa Jordan go on
and on about him.
She is just going to hate Theresa's guts now.
Oh... yes.
[women laugh]
[kissing sounds]
What?
Why can't I touch you?
No...
you can touch me.
It's just, uh...
What?
My mom's in my head.
Well, get her outta there. Huh?
She just thinks that...
if a girl...
you know...
goes a little too far before marriage, then she's ruined.
She thinks that if I don't get married, like,
a day after graduation, then...
I'll be alone for the rest of my life.
Hmm.
What are her rules on over the shirt stuff, though?
You know what I mean.
But...
that's my mom, though.
You know, she's all about tradition and...
something... I don't know.
It's not me.
Okay, so, if it's not your mom, then what is it?
I just...
don't wanna be the usual.
You know? Like...
I just don't wanna be another girl who falls
for the charms of the great Jimmy Simpson.
Well, I mean, you know what it is that makes me great,
don't you?
It's that I have the ability to know a girl
who's worth waiting for when I see her.
And I'm talking about you.
Just to be crystal clear.
Yeah, I got that.
The news is good, Jeffrey.
So, I want you to stay encouraged.
She's all I care about in the world, Anna.
I know.
She's still your wife. Go talk with her.
Gracias. And thank you for your patience.
As soon as I get through tax season,
I'll be able to settle all my accounts, I promise.
It's okay. Alright.
Gracias.
Hasta luego.
Someone looks happy.
I don't understand, things are going well.
Exactly.
Anna, I worry.
Whenever things go right for me,
something always goes wrong.
Not always.
Your marriage is good.
Your daughter's healthy.
Your husband's practice, it is successful.
Yes. For now.
For now.
You know, when we lost Michael Jr.,
it was so out of the blue.
My beautiful boy, he was just suddenly gone.
We cannot live our lives always afraid another shoe might fall.
I know.

Nothing.

No, we don't know that yet because he hasn't asked me.
Hey, Theresa.
Uh-huh? Yes?
Do you wanna go to the prom with me?
Sure. Yes, I'd love to.
Great!
I guess you're gonna need a dress, though, huh?
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna go try this on.

What is taking so long? I mean, it's a dress.
I have a feeling this is gonna be worth waiting for.
Yeah.
Can I tell you something?
She just adores you.
Oh, I think she's really special.
No, I mean, head over heels.

So... what's wrong?
Well... [sighs]
Theresa and Jimmy have been together for three months,
and the families have yet to get together.
Mi amor...
they're just going to the prom, they're not engaged.
What, they can't invite us over for a dinner?
A single dinner? They're too good for us?
Well, why don't we invite them?
That isn't how it's done.
Oh, well, I guess I'd better brush up
on my teenage dating handbook, 'cause where is it written
that they have to be the inviters?
When a girl marries a boy, she joins his family.
She takes his name.
It is his family's responsibility to reach out,
at the very least.
And I know... they're not engaged yet, but still.
Why are you getting so ahead of yourself?
Everyone can see where this is going with them.
It's plain as day.
I just...
I don't understand where tradition went.
Well, maybe we're dodging a bullet. Huh?
Maybe that's not the family she should marry into.
Oh, you bite your tongue.
Come on.
I don't know why you do this to yourself.
Do you realize...
that if Michael were still alive...
we'd be grandparents by now?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

Yeah?
Theresita...
isn't Michael.
She's her own person.
She's not a replacement.
Is that what you think I want?
I'm just saying.
Let's just let this thing between Theresita and Jimmy
play itself out. Okay?
Let it surprise you a little.
You don't always have to know the future.
You certainly don't need to control it. Hmm?
[Mary] You sure he's not upset?
Mom, trust me.
I think Jimmy can survive a weekend without me.
Well, he may say that, but inwardly,
he could resent you for this.
Resent me?
Yes.
I'm just going to the condo with my girlfriends
like I've done a zillion times.
Yes, but Jimmy is your boyfriend now,
it's different.
You know what? Just call him again,
just to ask and make sure.
Mom. Trust me.
Jimmy's perfectly fine with my weekend plans.
He told you this?
Mm-hmm.
With a big grin.
[exhales] Okay.
[fire roars on]
Wow.
It's cold in here as it is out there.
Not too shabby.
Yeah, and the water is right over there.
Let's go swimming.
It'll heat up pretty fast.
Prob--probably.
Are you hungry?
We have lots of food.
No, I'm good.
Me too, I'm good. Yeah.
You-- we should probably get warm.
It's really cold.
Hey, Theresa?
Mm-hmm?
Hey, Theresa.
Yes?
If you're nervous, we don't have to do anything.
I am... okay.
I'm just...
[sighs] I'm really nervous about this.
Hey, me too.
Really?
Yeah.
Guys can get nervous, too.
Even the great Jimmy Simpson?
[scoffs]
I think you know me well enough by now
that you can just call me Jimmy.
As long as you always appreciate my greatness.
I'll appreciate yours if you appreciate mine.
From the second I met you.
May I?
Yeah.
Do you know about hypothermia?
Isn't that, like, a fancy word for freezing your ass off?
Yeah. Pretty much.
It's when the body starts losing heat faster than
it can produce it.
The core temperature drops and everything starts to shut down.
However, and this is really interesting...
there is a technique or a method where
I could use my heat to warm you back up.
It's kind of embarrassing, but it saves lives.
How is that embarrassing?
Well...
this is the really fascinating part.
The technique involves skin to skin contact.
Total strangers have stripped down naked
and hugged just to survive.
Right, that would be really embarrassing.
I... I would hate to be in a situation like that.
Yeah. With a total stranger? That would suck.
Yeah.
But I guess it would be better if you knew that person.
If you were maybe in a situation...
where you were so cold.
Hypothetically, in a condo.
Near the beach.
Right.
You know, Jimmy...
I don't think I'm gonna survive.
You know, I'm freezing, and I'm just at the mercy of nature.
But I'd never ask you to take my clothes off and...
press up against me.
That'd just be way too selfish.
Right?
The headline will read...
he was willing to give his life for hers.
♪
[ominous music]
Hmm.
No, I see no anger from this boy.
His feelings for Theresa have not changed.
Why she wants to spend the weekend with these
silly girlfriends of hers, I'll never know.

November morning in southern Texas...[radl
what you just heard when you hear his newest single,
"I will always love you"

Good morning, Mother.
Good morning.

I'm a happy person, Mom.
Ay...
You don't sound too happy.
Curandera Anna showed me something troubling,
but I think I just misinterpreted it.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
What?
At first, I thought it was an omen for your future.
Mmhmm.
But I just got off the phone with Angie Parker's mother.
Pregnant.
Angie?
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Not the sweet little girl from kindergarten anymore, is she?
No.
And now the boy wants nothing to do with her.
The parents are at each other's throats.
It is such a mess.
So low class.
I guess the gossip mill started early today, huh?
Well...
these things get around, what can I tell you?
Ay.
Her poor mother.
I mean, how hard is it to use protection?
Uh huh...
And what do you know about that?
Mom. Come on.
I learned about that in, like, the sixth grade.
Híjole. What are they teaching in schools these days?
Anyway...
Angie should not let that boy take advantage of her.
Well, how do you know what happened?
They are church-going people.
[scoffs] Mom.
What?
These things can happen to anyone.
I can't believe I have to tell you that.
Theresa.
Yes?
Jimmy wouldn't pressure you into anything, would he?
Of course not. No.
It's just... I love Jimmy, but he's a boy,
and those hormones sometimes get the best of them.
Hey, Mom.
Don't worry. Okay?
Jimmy wouldn't make me do anything I didn't want to do.
It's 'cause you're a good girl.
And I love you.
I love you, too.
Get me a plate.
[boys laughing]
And then we hear her mom coming downstairs,
and there's no way we're getting dressed in time, right?
So I'm butt-ass naked right underneath the bed,
and I'm like...
Hey, babe.
Hey.
Whatcha doing?
Oh, Sean was just telling us this story.
Sean... go ahead.
Uh... yeah. So we made sure every kid in the hospital
got a toy that day.
No big deal. I'm no hero.
Wow.
So, listen, babe, I have the biggest favor to ask you.
Okay. What?
Hey, Jimmy.
Hey, Val.
So, what's this big favor?
Who the hell was that?
That's Valerie. She's a friend.
A friend, really?
You guys are Jimmy's friends.
Do you guys touch his shoulder every time you say hello?
What am I, in love with him?

Thank you, Sean.
Now listen.
I will send her a registered letter
instructing her to never look my way again
because I'm in a serious relationship.
See? Easy.
It's not like I didn't see you this morning.
I'm having dinner with my dad.
I'll call you back after. Okay?
You still seeing the same girl?
Yup, I sure am.
A new record for you.
I like her.
I like her a lot, it's just...
she can be kinda smothering sometimes.
Yeah?
Just tell her you need a little space.
Yeah, I'm sure she'll take that great, Dad.
Just be straight with her. Just be honest.
And for God's sakes, be smart too.
Don't use the word smothering.
[laughs]
What do you mean, clingy?
You know what I mean.
No, I don't.
I just...
I need you to know I have a lot going on right now,
If I have other things to do sometimes,
it's not 'cause I'm avoiding you.
Sometimes it feels like it is.
It isn't. Hey, hey.
It isn't.
Really.
We cool?
And speaking of not avoiding you,
Sean's throwing a rager this Friday.
Everyone's going.
You'll come with me?
I don't know.
Are you sure that's not too clingy?

Wait. This Friday?
Yeah.
I can't go.

Yeah, I know.
Wait.
Why don't you come with me?
To your grandmother's birthday?
Yeah.
On a Friday night?
Just until we sing happy birthday and then
we can hang out for a bit, and then go to Sean's together.
I mean... I guess.
You know what, Jimmy? It's fine.
Hey, it's not like I don't wanna see you.
I mean, I just invited you to Sean's.
No, I get it. Trust me.
Hey, would you just--
No. It's pretty clear.
We had a great time at my parents' condo,
now you just wanna get back to your life.
Come on. You really think that?
Is it that hard to spend a couple hours with me?
I said I'll go.
No.
I don't want to.
Hey. Err...
Come on.
Trust me, Mom, it was nothing. We just got into a fight.
Well, what is there to fight about?
What did you say to him?
What makes you think it was my fault?
Fights don't start out of nothing.
Well, maybe he's being a douche.
Language.
Mi amor. Just let them work it out, please.
Stay out of this, Michael.
You don't know anything about it.
Neither do you, Mom.
Can you just let me live my life?

So...
what does someone bring to a grandma's birthday party?
Do I have to get her a gift?
Oh, don't worry about it. You don't have to come.
Except you said you would.
I'll go, really. If you want me to.
No, no, no, no. It's fine.

But I'm 17 years old. What, I'm supposed to be
committed to one person for the rest of my life?
I just wanted to be exclusive, which I thought we were,
and now you're saying you're not up for that.
We were, I just...
What? Just say it, Jimmy. Say it!
Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm not up for that.
Okay.
I guess you've said it then.
Hey. Come on.
[slap]
Everybody warned me.
Everybody said to watch out. I should've listened.
Theresa, you can't let him make you so upset.
You are well rid of him.
[crying] You don't understand.
I do understand.
No, you don't.
Your mother is not some babe in the woods.
[sniffling]
I just...
I thought we had something special, you know?
Yeah.
Like something just... different.
I really loved him, Mom.
I know.
He had me fooled, too.
It's not just that, mom. It's...
It's what?
What is it? You can tell me.
You can tell me anything.
Jimmy and I...
He... he was my first.
Oh, I know.
A girl never forgets her first boyfriend.
No matter how terribly it ends.
That's not what I mean by first, mom.
Come on, you're not some babe in the woods.
[scoffs]
Mom.
Ay dios mío. Ay dios mío.
Mom, please don't be mad.
Ay dios mío.
We both wanted it.
Theresa, how could you be so naive?
Where are your brains?
We were safe.
That isn't what matters!
Okay. Okay.
[exhales]
There's only one solution.
He has to come to his senses.
He has to take you back.
I'm not gonna beg for Jimmy back, mom.
Well, you can't just--
If he wants me back, he's gonna have to come to me.
Oh no, Theresa. You listen to me.
He defiled you.
He took your innocence.
He has to take you back.
He has to do the right thing.
Mom, I already told you, we were safe.
We used protection.
I am not gonna have my daughter just be another conquest!
Do you think this won't get out?
No.
He has to take you back.
And that is the end of that!
Mom!
[door slams]
[phone rings]
Hello?
Hey. It's me.
It's who?
Jimmy.
-Jimmy. -Hi.
Hi. What's going on?
You know, I was just laying here in my bed
and had the uncontrollable urge to see what you were doing.
Mm-hmm. You did?
[beep]
I got another call coming in.
Give me a second?
I guess so.
Hello?
Hi, Jimmy. It's Mary Ramirez.
We need to talk.
Um... okay. Uh, sorry.
Can I call you-- just give me one second.
Hey. Sorry, Val. I really gotta take this.
Yeah.
Okay. I'm back.
I'll just say it.
What's past is past.
You had an indiscretion, but Theresa is willing
to take you back, so I think you should just call her.
Uh... you do?
I think it's best that she and I don't really talk
for a little while.
I don't think that's the solution.
But...
Yeah, but...
You see, the thing is, I really like Theresa,
but things just didn't really work out.
You had a fight, and I understand,
but in light of why you had a fight,
I think it's best you just apologize and give her a call.
Well, you know, I did apologize, and I sort of...
Look, I really appreciate you calling Mrs. Ramirez,
and please, you know, tell Theresa I say hi.
Well, why don't you tell her yourself?
I'll call her to the phone.
I really have to get going, but thank you for calling. Bye.
[Mary] You said you saw her married.
You said that he was gonna be a part of her life forever.
The cards tell me what they tell me.
They saw her married, but it seems not to this boy.
Then what does it mean, he's going to be a part
of her life forever?
Perhaps a first love, or, you know,
one that she'll never, ever forget.
What good does that do someone who wants to know
what her daughter's future is?
Any bum on the street could've told me that.
That the future is never set.
Events change constantly.
I can only tell you what is likely.
Again...
what cab driver couldn't?
No. [scoffs]
No.
I need a spell.
You need to make him love Theresa again.
Mary...
Spells, they're unpredictable.
Something powerful.
A potion maybe?
You need to help me fix this.
Do you have something of his?
An article of clothing or something.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, shit.
Hi, Jimmy. I'm glad I caught you.
You left this at our house.
Oh, yeah. Thanks.
Yeah, I forgot where I left it.
Yeah.
Okay, well, now you have it.
Thank you.
Bye, boys.
I'd wash that if I were you.
Yeah. Probably.
♪
Oh, God. It's Jimmy.
Hey.
Hi.
I was looking for you earlier.
Okay, well, here I am.
You think we could talk somewhere?
Here is fine.
Okay.
I've just been thinking about us and where things are at.
And given where things are at,
I think I should probably get my ring back.
What?
You know, if things were different.
I mean, I know I gave it to you, but...
we're not really together anymore, so...
I just think I should probably get it back.
Don't you think?
Well, I don't have it on me.
It's not like I wear it every day.
No, no, of course not. I mean...
tomorrow at school is great.
Yeah. Whatever.
Thanks.
Bye.
Where's my rent?
Look, it's been a very slow month.
It's not my problem. This is your problem.
It didn't work.
Excuse me!
-I... -No.
The rent by the end of the week, Anna.
Whatever that stuff was that you gave me, it didn't work.
He's demanding his ring back.
Spells don't always work on everyone.
Sometimes they just need more time.
You're full of crap, Anna.
Sit down. I'll give you a free reading.
[laughs] Yeah. Really?
What are you gonna tell me?
More wedding bells and happily ever after?
Do you see anything at all?
Or do you just tell people what they wanna hear?
Mary, we've known each other for 20 years. More.
Yeah, I've been paying you for more than 20 years.
I will give you one more chance, Anna.
Or I will find help somewhere else.
Give me something that works.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[laughter] ...Stop.
[echoing laughter]
[speaking Spanish]
What?
[Mary] $500.
I will give you
$500 a month and get your ring back.
All you have to do is get back together with Theresa.
Which, you know in your heart, is what you want to do.
You know, Mrs. Ramirez, I have been patient,
and I think I've been really polite with you
every time you've called, but you need to stop.
Stop calling me, this isn't about you, and it...
definitely isn't about money.
You're being a fool, Jimmy.
Maybe, but I'm not a whore, and neither is your daughter.
Don't call me again.
Understand?
Please.
Oh!
♪
I was just hoping that us sitting face to face
would help resolve this whole situation.
Mary, I hear you, but...
look, Jimmy and Theresa are old enough to work
this kinda thing out for themselves.
I really think it's best if the parents
just keep their noses out of it.
And I think that we as parents see a perspective they cannot,
and it's best to give them some guidance.
Well... we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.
Your son drinks.
Did you know that?
Maybe that's what's clouding his decision making.
He's a teenage kid.
He has a few beers sometimes, but I trust him.
Doesn't seem to be a problem.
Uh huh.
And this teenage kid, this saint,
that you trust so much...
Did you know that he took my daughter's virginity?
You don't have a problem with this?
Destroying a girl's virtue.
[scoffs]
He learned this behavior from you.
I taught him to respect women.
Hmm.
And I taught him to be careful about things like this.
Also, it does take two to tango.
I don't mean to offend.
[scoffs]
It's just that the two of them are right on the verge of adulthood,
and at some point...
you gotta let them grow up on their own.
And with that, I really am sorry,
but I do have to go.
I wish the best for you, Ms. Ramirez.
Well, we are gonna have to think of something different.
What?
Jimmy is being unreasonable,
and his father is not much better.
What do you mean, his father?
What about his father?
He doesn't care.
He just doesn't seem to care that his son is going around
deflowering young girls.
Because how the hell would he know that?
Mom. My God, you did not talk to his father!
Well, I just thought that he might talk some sense
into Jimmy, but clearly I was fooling myself.
Please tell me you're joking!
What, I shouldn't want my daughter to be happy?
By humiliating me?
Mom, he's gonna tell Jimmy that you talked to him!
I talked to him because I couldn't
get through to Jimmy!
You talked to Jimmy?!
Theresa, what am I supposed to do?
You're supposed to stay out of it!
I can't stay on the side while my daughter
is in this kind of pain.
I can't show my face ever again.
I can't believe you did this!
I would do anything for you.
Then, Mom, stay out of it!
Oh, God.
Hey.
Just take it.
Hey, can we just talk?

[girl laughs]
And then he's all, like, just let me show you.
And I'm like, you're literally gonna break your legs.
[laughs] But he did it.
Gave me a heart attack, but, like, he did it.
[girls laugh]
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
Hey.
Me?
[chuckles] Yeah, you. What's your name?
Antonio.
So, what can I do for you, Antonio?
Uh... well, my buddies, uh...
they're giving me all kinds of crap.
They wanted to see if I had the guts to say hi
to a girl who's just...
so far out of my league.
I'm not out of anybody's league.
Well, if you don't think so,
that makes it a whole lot easier for me.
See?
I got you smiling anyway.
Does that buy me your name?
Theresa.
Well, it was lovely to meet you.
Beer?
Yeah.

Hi.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
Oh, it's alright.
How are you, Mary?
I'm fine. I'm just great. [chuckles]
Really?
[laughs] Yes. Why?
Why wouldn't I be?
And, well, how's Theresa?
She's fine.
[chuckles]
I'm not sure what you're asking me.
Has she taken it okay?
The whole, you know, Jimmy thing, I mean.
Oh.
Uh... yes.
[clears throat] Well... um...
it's... it's been difficult.
Oh, I'm sure it has.
Thank you.
Especially since, um...
I don't know if it's true, but people are saying
that Jimmy has been less than a gentleman.
What exactly are people saying?
What could they possibly know about Theresa and Jimmy?
Oh, don't think that we're saying anything bad
about Theresa.
Everyone...
still thinks she's a good girl.
Yes, of course, of course.
And it's the generation.
It behaves differently than ours.
They're not so hung up on, well, you know...
waiting for marriage.
It's you we're really worried about.
Yeah.
My daughter's reputation
is now a matter of public ridicule.
Is that not something you saw in your cards?
Mary, I know you're upset.
You're damn right I'm upset!
And you are gonna make this right.
I don't need any more spells.
I don't need any more psychic mumbo jumbo.
I need you to help me punish Jimmy Simpson.
Punish him?
I've thought about it,
and the answer was right in front of me.
He took my daughter's virginity.
I want it restored.
But, Mary, when a thing like that is done, no one can.
[Anna stutters]
No, you don't mean--
A girl's virtue can be restored if the one who took it dies.
You know this.
I mean, back in the old days, people did believe that.
But... if I could do a spell or something like that.
I told you.
I am not looking for any more spells.
You know people.
I know you do.
You deal with all sorts in this little shop of yours.
You find me someone.
Someone who can right this wrong,
because clearly you cannot.
I know that you're struggling financially, Anna.
And I don't want to ruin you.
But I still have stature in this town.
And one bad word from me can put an end to your business.
Or you can help me.
[dramatic music]
Jeffrey, what are you doing here?
What's wrong?
You might wanna take care of these.
Jesus.
What's wrong?
She's gone, Anna.
-No... -She's gone, yes!
Yes, I come home, Monica's packed all her shit.
She went to her sister's house.
Look, she left me this letter!
It says I'm a bottom feeder with sleazy clientele.

Okay? I don't know what to do.
Por favor.

[Anna] I have a way we can help each other.
So, Antonio, you go to the same high school.
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Uh...
And what about family?
Is family important to you?
Well, I got a big one. So, you know, sure.
Yeah, I guess.
Well, if you want a big family, you'll need a big paycheck.
So, what are your career plans?
Uh, well, I'm really into music.
Um... you know, hip hop. Gangsta rap.
Well, that's fine, but what do you plan to do with your life?
Well, I mean that, you know, yeah.
Something in music.
Mom, would you ease up?
What?
I'm just trying to get to know your boyfriend better.
First of all, he's not my boyfriend.
Second of all, every boy that I bring to dinner
doesn't need to be marriage material.
Hey, I just thought we were gonna go to the movies tonight.
And every boy that a girl sleeps with
doesn't need to walk her down the aisle.
Every boy!
I'm sorry, Theresa.
I didn't realize we were talking about multiples.
We're not, Mom. I'm just trying to prove a point.
For the record, we've only kissed.
See?
Mi amor. Let's just leave it alone.
[chuckles] No, no, no, no.
I know what this is.

To spite you?
Yes, sometimes I think you purposely do it to embarrass me.

No, Mom. You're wrong.

Is it possible to hire another killer to take them out?
Oh my God! Are you kidding me?!
Okay! It's a crazy idea.
Forget it. I know.
What is wrong with you?
Okay.
I think it's best that you just pay them the money
and hopefully this is done.
