[disconcerting music continues]

[disconcerting music
becomes tender]

There he is.

Hey! ¿Cómo estás?

[in Spanish] How
are you, sweetie?

You going good?

[in English] Piggyback ride?

- What's that?
- Piggyback ride?

Yeah, let's do it.

Violeta! Come.

Hey, Violeta, what's up?

[in Spanish] You haven't
seen me in six months,

you have to have a
story or something?

Nothing?

- [in English] I collect rocks now.
- What?

- I collect rocks now.
- That's cool.

- I wanna collect rocks too.
- You can't copy me!

- You f*ck' copycat!
- Hey, hey, watch your language.

Let's have fun.

[radio clicks on]

[mellow Spanish-language
ballad playing]

[song continues]

[mellow music fades in]

[insects chirping]

[mellow music continues]

- [Violeta] Whose house is this?
- [Vicente] It's mine.

Your abuela gave it
to me when she died.

This is the house.

[mellow music becomes tender]

[in Spanish] Violeta,
your room is that way.

Violeta, come here.

- [in English] What is it?
- [in Spanish] Open it.

[in English] I thought
maybe we can go star-gazing.

[Eva] It has a pool!

[in Spanish] Come here, crazy.

Look, I have
something for you too.

[in English] I'm gonna teach you
how to punch super hard, okay?

I wanna call mami.

Go, call her.

Let's do it.

Remember, like...

like that, yeah.

[Eva giggles]

[cicadas chirping]

[mumbling] You're ready!

[Vicente laughs]

[in Spanish] Look
what I've got. Hey.

- [in English] It's good.
- Mm-hmm.

[in Spanish] It's
got mustard and ham.

[in English] No, no, no, wait.

You have to wait seven minutes
for your stomach to digest.

It's digested, I can feel it.

Nope, seven minutes.

It's just seven
minutes, it's fast.

Time!

I surrender, I surrender.

That's a lot. [laughs]

Whoa, stop.

- No! Come on, may I have some?
- [laughs]

Yeah? Thank you.

What are you gonna
do when we're gone?

I'm gonna miss you guys,

but I'm gonna go back to school.

Why did you move here?

Because...

I'm from here.

I thought you were
from Puerto Rico.

Yeah.

I was born there, but I have all
of my friends here, my house.

Yeah, I'm from here,
this is my home now.

Mm, it's good, the pasta, no?

I have an idea.

So, let's see who can eat
this pasta the fastest,

but without a fork. Okay?

Put the hands on the table.

- Don't cheat, are you ready?
- [Eva] Ready?

[together] Set...

[Eva] Go!

Go!

[chewing and slurping]

- Hey, you're gonna lose.
- [Eva giggles]

[Vicente laughs]

[Vicente laughs and mumbles]

["Farsante" by Melissa
Ocasio playing]

You wanna help me out?

Yeah?

You go from here,

until the end, 'til the back.

[Eva giggles]

[winces]

Yeah, I can keep going myself,

'cause I have to go.

- What?
- Nothing.

Did I miss a spot? No?

[regional music playing]

- Yo, Carmen. What's up?
- 'Sup?

How've you been?
How's the bar going?

- Good?
- Good.

Hey.

- These are my kids.
- Is that, uh...

Eva?

- And Violeta.
- Yeah.

Carmen and I go way back.

It's your first
time in Las Cruces?

- Yeah.
- Welcome.

Yeah, we're gonna
play some pool.

Vicente, what can I get you?

Beer, three burgers,

chile verde, fries.

- [pop song playing]
- You put this hand,

left hand, top of the table,

and you're gonna hit
center of the ball.

You can hit the corners
too, but not now.

For now you're just gonna
hit the center, okay?

So, I'm gonna do it first, Eva,

and then you follow me, okay?

So, let's do it.

- Like this, right?
- Remember the leg, yeah,

remember the leg.

[Vicente laughs]

Hey, Carmen, you
forgot about the beer?

- Amazing shot.
- Better than you, Dad.

You're getting there, yeah.

Can I have a pitcher?

Carmen, how much is it?

Um... 35.

Thirty-five?

[mellow ballad
playing in background]

Here.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

They were great.

Yeah, they're great.

Hey, girls, last round, okay?

[in Spanish] Come here.

[keys jingling]

[insects chirping]

[birds chirping]

[in Spanish] Look who's up.

Help me make some eggs.

[in English] I don't know how.

[in Spanish] I can teach
you, it's easy, look.

Just grab the egg, crack it,

and you toss it in here, easy.

No... it's okay, let
me help you, hold on.

Not like that, whoa.

Do it again,

but this time,
softer, all right?

Not so hard.

Check to make sure it's hot.

Put your hand
here... Not so close.

Do it, on the edge.

Softly.

Not so softly, a bit harder.

Open it... eh.

See?

[in English] You got it.

You got it, you see? [smooches]

We're gonna make
some omelets now.

- [mechanical game noises]
- [laughing] Yeah.

- Uh? Yeah.
- Yeah!

[whimsical ride music playing]

[Vicente] Faster!

- We're having fun!
- Dad!

- Are you okay?
- You okay?

Yeah, she's okay.

[woman] Is she okay?

- You need to be more careful.
- What the f*ck are you doing?

Quit touching my kids.
You have any kids?

- No.
- Of course not,

so mind your own
f*ck' business.

- [in Spanish] Stupid.
- Let's go on another ride.

[in English] Get the
f*ck out of here!

[arcade game noises]

Bro, it stopped me!

You still hungry?

[in Spanish] Come on, let's go.

[mellow music fades in]

[wind chime jingling]

Oh, that was cool,
I wanna do that.

[Eva] Locked and loaded!

[Eva laughs]

[Eva squealing, laughing]

- No!
- Give me a hug!

[music fades out]

[crickets chirping]

[subtle music fades in]

[Vicente groans]

Wow.

Yeah.

Oh, this is beautiful.

- [Eva] Can I have some blanket?
- [Vicente] Yeah.

Yeah, you see
that? That's Orion.

[Eva] Where?

There, I show you,
give me your hand.

So, there, there, and there,

and this is his belt.

And you see that one? The
red one, that's Betelgeuse.

[Vicente sighs]

Papi, is that a sh**ting star?

- Where? Right there?
- Mm-hmm.

Uh... no. That's a plane.

- [Vicente and Eva giggle]
- Yeah.

[subtle music continues]

[Violeta] How many
stars are there?

The scientists, they
don't know exactly,

but they estimate
that in the Milky Way,

there's around... 200
to 400 billion stars.

Do they really count them, or
they just, like, make up a number?

They estimate based on
the stars they can see,

and also they estimate
based on the area.

What? You don't
understand sh*t, right?

I'm gonna explain, okay?

[in Spanish] Look,

imagine this pizza
is the universe,

all of it, and these chili
flakes are the stars.

You have all these
flakes are the stars,

and there's so many
you can't count them,

so you focus on a single slice,

and the chili flakes
on that slice,

and knowing that area,
you estimate the rest.

You understand the rest.

Papi, there's more
stars right here,

- than there's right here.
- It's an estimate.

And, you just drenched
pepper on our pizza.

Oh, it's hot!

- It's a good pizza, eat it.
- No.

[laughing]

[Violeta] You know there's a tribe
where people, like, eat monkeys?

- Eat monkeys?
- Yeah.

I just found that out.

[Vicente in Spanish] People
eat all sorts of things.

Hey, girls, wanna play a game?

[Eva] Yeah.

It's called No Stopping, eh?

[tires squeal]

- Whoa.
- [Eva laughs]

- [Eva] Keep turning!
- [Vicente] Yeah, whoa!

- Whoa!
- Keep turning!

[Eva laughs]

Whoa!

- Faster, go faster!
- Whoa!

- [tires squeal]
- Keep going, keep going!

- Papi, stop!
- Whoo!

[Eva and Vicente]
Crash, crash, crash!

- [tires squeal]
- [truck honks]

- That was close!
- [Eva laughing]

- [insects chirping]
- [tense music fades in]

[chair scraping the floor]

[tense music continues]

[chalk scraping]

[wood creaking]

[Violeta] Do you know
where the scissors are?

In the kitchen.

[music fades out]

Wait.

[tender music fades in]

Shorter.

There?

Shorter.

- Here?
- Yeah.

[Eva giggles]

Princesitas, I'm home!

- [knocking]
- Hey, open the door.

- [knocking harder]
- Violeta.

- [in Spanish] Open the door.
- [knocking continues]

- [in English] Open the door!
- [knocking, hitting door]

[in Spanish] Open
the door right now!

[Vicente exhales]

I'm f*cked right now.

Get out of the
bathroom, you too.

Out of the bathroom, now.

Now.

[in Spanish] What's
that supposed to mean?

I was working, and that's
none of your f*ck' business!

She's ten,

she can do whatever the f*ck
she wants to do with her hair.

I'm her father and I said yes!

What, you're gonna
call the judge?

What are you gonna tell him?

That because she cut her hair,

you're taking them
away, you f*ck' b*tch?

[cans clattering]

On top of that, I
like how it looks.

It looks good! You f*ck' c**t.

[mellow music fades in]

[crickets chirping]

[Eva and Violeta laugh]

[bell rings]

[in English] Where's your dad?

Get in.

Can I have one?

[regional Spanish-language
song playing on the radio]

- Violeta, your hair looks good.
- [engine turns over]

["Me voy, me fui" by
Juanpi y Rafi begins]

["Me voy, me fui" continues]

[plane flying overhead]

[in Spanish] Hold on, Eva.

Let me carry that.

[in English] Hey.

I got new sheets.

Hey.

You need help with that?

- I got it, I got it.
- Sure.

[Vicente] Yeah. [grunts]

How's high school?

- I haven't started yet.
- Right.

But I did get into
all my AP classes.

- AP?
- Like... College level.

That's my girl.

So... I gotta go.

Papi, um, I got you this.

Um, I did really well in
my art class this year.

My teacher said I was
really advanced for my age.

That's nice.

So, girls...

I gotta go but maybe we can
have some fun tonight, okay?

[door closes]

[Violeta talking on
the phone indistinct]

It's too bad I'm
not there, right?

It's so boring,

there's nothing to do here.

What are you guys doing tonight?

No, that sounds cool,
that sounds fun.

It's just...

[sighs] It makes
sense, I guess, but...

[mellow music fades in]

[mellow music continues]

[music fades out]

[flies buzzing]

[wind chime jingling]

- You guys have a pool?
- It doesn't work.

Hi, I'm Camila.

- Hi.
- [Vicente] Camila, I'll be right there!

Is my dad gonna help
you with school?

With Physics.

Did you just move here? I
haven't seen you around.

We live in California
with our mom.

That's where I wanna
live when I graduate.

Really? Well, I can
totally show you around.

I mean, it's not like we live in a
super cool part or anything, but...

[Vicente] Hey, Camila,
sorry for the wait.

That's the book?

Yeah, let me see what
they're teaching you.

- Are you excited?
- No.

Why? That's sad.

[mellow vintage song
playing in the background]

Yo, Carmen, what's up?

Hey.

- I've missed you.
- [Violeta] We've missed you.

Can I put music on the jukebox?

[Vicente] Yo, Carmen!
Can I get a pitcher?

Sure.

Uh, help me out with this.

- How's your art?
- Good.

[rock song playing
in the background]

- [gasps and giggles]
- [Vicente] Holy sh*t.

Look at this f*ck' shot.

Hey, Carmen, bring me a pitcher.

The f*ck is that? That's half.

We need to change the keg.

This place is a dump.

You're welcome to rack up a tab

at any of the other
bars in Las Cruces, eh?

I know you love me.

[in Spanish] f*ck' sh*t.

Do you know that I will
be 15,000 days old?

What does that mean?

That means that I've been living here
on this f*ck' planet for 15,000 days.

- Let's celebrate.
- Yeah.

Will you help me plan it?

With one f*ck' eye, uh?

[in Spanish] Bring
me the f*ck' beer.

- Fill it, to the top.
- Relax, relax.

[in English] Aim well,
like your father.

Wow!

High five... not. [laughs]

- You're gonna close the tab?
- I'll pay you later, pay you tomorrow.

Look at that shot.

Carmen, the f*ck' beer!

[different rock song
playing the background]

Can you play like your
sister, at least one time?

Play well, this is important,

this is a serious game.

Look at you.

Don't try, do it.

Papi?

Papi?

I think we should ask
Carmen to take us.

I'm fine.

Get in the car.

You're drunk.

I'm an adult.

And you're... a child.

Get in the f*ck' car.

- Get in the f*ck' car.
- Stop.

[in Spanish] What the
f*ck's wrong with you?

- Hey, hey, Vicente!
- What's wrong with you?

[in English] I'll take you home.

I don't need a f*ck'
carpet-muncher driving me back home.

Okay, then just walk.
Just give me the keys.

You can crash with
me if you want.

- [Eva] What?
- It's just the car keys.

[crickets chirping]

[dog barking in the distance]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, wake up.

[in Spanish] I've
got a surprise.

[in English] You can
sleep in the car, vamos.

[pats]

Let's go.

Yeah.

[Vicente breathing heavily]

[insects chirping]

[mellow music fades in]

[wind blowing]

[Vicente pants and exhales]

[Vicente laughs]

Whoo.

You see that mountain there?

Yeah.

Do you know the name?

No.

I don't know either.

[laughs]

[mellow music fades out]

[flies buzzing]

Hey, isn't that the
girl that Dad tutors?

Camila! Camila!

[pants] Just give me...

- Is everything okay?
- Oh, yeah.

I just wanted to say hey.

Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi, I just, uh...

I wanted to invite you to
a party my dad's throwing.

Yeah, my dad told me about it.

Um, I'll try to
make it after work.

Okay, cool. Cool.

I'll, uh...

I'll get back to my sister now.

- Okay.
- Cool.

[truck drives by]

Bro, you did not
look cool up there.

"Oh, Camila, you're so cute,

I just wanna kiss you all over."

[laughing]

Wow, it's looking great so far.

- [Eva] You like it?
- Yeah, hell yeah.

V, I wanna show you something.

Come.

Close the door.

[jazzy Latin song starts
playing on the radio]

Have you smoked before?

- No.
- Are you sure?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

This is why...

we're doing it here...

with your father,

because I want you to do
it in a safe environment,

the same way I did
it with my father.

Do you trust me?

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- It took you a while.

[chuckles]

This is good. Check it out.

Move your head up, you know?

Yeah, not that
hard, not that hard.

Try it... try it soft.

Like, softer, and
bring it to your chest,

everything, and relax.
You have to be chill.

You got it.

It's amazing, you're
smoking with your father.

Look at you.

You're feeling it a little bit?

Yeah.

Go help your sister.

You want more?

I'm kidding. Go help her out.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[jazzy song keeps playing
in the background]

What'd you do?

[lively regional song
playing on speakers]

[in Spanish] Fifteen
thousand f*ck' days!

What's wrong, you're bored?

[salsa song playing on speakers]

[in Spanish] Meat's ready!

Come quickly, before
he eats it all.

Grab it.

I'm not your waiter, man.

[Julio in English]
That Eva looks good,

boys are gonna line up.

I'm not sure about you, Violeta,
you look a little marimacha.

Nah, nah, nah, nah.

V's smart like her father, man.

She doesn't need to look good.

Eva looks like
her mom, you know?

Eva, come eat your
meat over here.

[Vicente in Spanish] Come
here, stand over there.

- [in English] I don't want to.
- [in Spanish] Come here.

[in English] Come on.

Get the f*ck out of here.

You're gonna let her
standing up, eating her food?

[in Spanish] Get
the f*ck out, man.

[in English] Be
careful, it's hot.

Hey, you working?

[different salsa song
playing on speakers]

[Camila] Hi.

You really know how to party.

Thanks, I get it from my dad.

I passed my last test.

Your dad really knows
how to explain stuff.

You two get along?

Sometimes.

Let me try that.

You like it here?

Enough.

I was born here,

and my family's been
here forever, so...

[Vicente] Violeta!

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

[Vicente] Violeta!

Violeta, come here!

Hey!

There you are. You
wanna dance with me?

- I don't know how...
- Come on, come on.

Come on, dance with
your old man, yeah.

- I don't want to.
- Let's do it, let's dance.

Come on.

Is this the way you dance?

[laughs] I'm kidding,
I'm kidding, come on.

[glass bottles clattering]

You think you're cool, yeah?

Different, all weird,

with your f*ck'
little haircut?

No, no, wait, wait, wait.

No.

She thinks she's better than us.

Mm?

You think you're
better than me, mm?

At Math, at your age, I
was way better than you.

And you have
opportunities I never had.

You're just a nobody.

Living in your mom's old house,

hanging out with all
your loser friends.

Lot of good those
Math skills did you.

[song playing faintly
from headphones]

Can I listen?

[sweeping]

- Ew...
- Drop it.

You think it was Dad's?

[flies buzzing]

[Eva giggles softly]

- Is it hiking?
- Uh-uh.

Maybe it's a water park.

Maybe a history thing, like...

the first atomic
b*mb detonation.

We went already to
Alamogordo, so it's not that.

Why can't we just go to White Sands
and go sledding like a normal family?

Because normal is boring.

[in Spanish] Get in.

[in English] You're
never gonna guess.

- Can you tell us where we're going?
- Uh-uh.

- Is it the snake thing in Albuquerque?
- It's a f*ck' surprise.

- [mellow music fades in]
- [Eva] I wanna play some music.

[insects chirping]

[mellow music fades out]

[flamenco song
playing on the radio]

[screeching]

[low ringing]

[faint breathing and panting]

[coughs]

[coughs, spits]

[pants]

Eva.

[breathing heavily]

[in Spanish] You okay? You okay?

We were in an
accident. You hear me?

I'll be right back,
okay? I'll be right back.

¿Okay?

Violeta?

Hey, help me.

Help me.

[in English] What happened?

[in Spanish] We had an accident,
but it's gonna be okay.

We're gonna take your
sister to a hospital.

Help me with this.

Okay? Help me.

[Eva] Violeta...

[Vicente crying and panting]

[crying] Help...

[ringing fades out]

[Vicente screams] Help!

[lively regional music playing]

[plane flying overhead]

[regional music fades out]

[doorbell rings]

Is... Vicente home?

- Are you Yenny?
- Eva?

[baby cooing inside the house]

Come in, come in.

Vicente.

[Vicente] Violeta didn't come.

[Yenny in Spanish] Come.

We got you this.

Violeta's Physics
teacher recommended it.

I'm gonna... go wash up.

[TV playing in the background]

[mellow music fades in]

Yenny seems nice.

- Yeah.
- [baby coos]

She's smart like your sister.

Is she still sleeping?

[TV host] These majestic birds
become part of the symphony,

soaring above the quagmires,

and contributing to the
timeless rhythm of survival.

Their existence,

intertwined with the croaking
frogs and squawking birds,

becomes a visual testament
to the resilience...

- [cicadas chirping]
- [mellow music continues]

[flies buzzing]

[mellow music becomes
disconcerting]

[music fades out]

[baby crying]

[baby keeps crying]

It's okay, it's okay.

[crying stops]

It's okay.

[baby resumes crying]

[Yenny] Come in.

[baby coos softly]

[Eva] Sorry.

What happened, she woke you up?

She was crying earlier.

I didn't really know what to do.

Where's Vicente?

sh*t, that's right.

He told me he was gonna
try and find work today.

[Yenny sighs]

Okay, give her to me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can stay.

Come.

It's okay, it's okay.

Pass me that bottle.

[in Spanish] There,
there, darling.

[mellow music fades in]

[lighter clicks]

[Carmen] Can you get me the
burger I left on the grill?

- With fries.
- [waiter] Yeah.

Thanks.

Violeta told me she's getting
in some fancy college.

She calls you?

Chaotically, yeah.

[vintage pop song playing
in the background]

Does he still come to play pool?

Did you know...

that your father...

was a piece of sh*t
when we were kids?

- You were friends as kids?
- Yeah.

We all loved him because he
used to make the teachers crazy.

Like, answering their questions,

correcting them, insulting them.

Because of your dad, I
know the area of any shape,

and I don't get lost, because
I know where Polaris is.

When he lost visitation...

Violeta had three
more surgeries.

- [Vicente] Oh... sh*t.
- [Yenny] Oh!

- I'm gonna put the five.
- Comer.

Yeah.

You look so beautiful.

You know how the
light is coming...

Yeah.

Can I kiss you in the
eye? Come on, now.

Yeah. Wanna play?

Yeah.

I don't know how to play.

Yeah, I teach you.

So, you just have
to pick a category,

and yeah, count the
numbers, that's it.

I don't get it.

[in Spanish] You don't
have to be so slow.

- [Yenny in Spanish] Easy.
- Hold on a sec.

Linda, just pick a
category and roll.

[in Spanish] Just
pick a category,

put the numbers in and play.

[In English] Play.

Uh?

[in Spanish] Come
on, roll the dice.

[in English] Throw the dice.

Check, you have three ones.

Just take these.

Put the f*ck' three,
write it down there.

You know how to write?

- You have a pen?
- Yeah.

Where is the pen?
Give it to her.

You see?

[in Spanish] Applause.

[in English] Baby, I'm tired.

I'm gonna go to sleep, okay?

You're tired?

You're ready to get more tired?

[Vicente laughs, groans]

You're not gonna
finish the game?

Nope.

[cumbia song playing
in the background]

[Yenny and Vicente
talking indistinctly]

[crickets chirping]

[clattering]

Papi?

Pa, come on.

[low rumbling music fades in]

[faucet running]

Pa, here.

Come on.

Papi. Pa, come on, Pa.

Come on. Papi.

[Eva sighs]

Here.

- Papi?
- [coughs]

Hey, get up, get up.

Papi, get up.

[Eva sighs]

- Come on.
- [mumbles] Violeta.

[rumbling music fades out]

Hey.

Do you wanna go to
Carmen's and play pool?

I come here at 5:00, okay?

[mellow music fades in]

[vintage pop song plays
in the background]

I've been practicing.

- I go?
- You go.

Yeah.

Pretty good.

[Vicente] Lucky shot.

- Yeah.
- Go again.

- How's Violeta?
- She...

She good, yeah?

Yeah, she's... she's good.

It's your turn.

The f*ck is this?

[different vintage pop song
plays in the background]

No, no, no.

Yeah.

Yeah, you won.

Yeah, you're happy?

I guess.

Let's play again.

I wanna see Yenny, you know?

But, we had fun.

You comin'?

- Nah.
- [grumbles]

[vintage pop song continues]

[different vintage song

I think that I have the code...

Yeah, okay. Eight,

[Natalia] They're here!

Can I get the door?

[Vicente laughs] Hey!

Wow. Wow.

[in Spanish] You've
gotten so big.

Your hair, it looks so good.

I would've loved to pick
you up at the airport.

[in English] It's
okay, we took a cab.

[in Spanish] Here, I brought you

some cheese and hot
dogs, and some soda.

The way you like it.

[in English] Natalia,
we have a gift for you.

You want it?

Come here.

[in Spanish] Thanks.

[in English] Carmen
was saying that, um...

you're going back to school?

You still talk to Carmen?

you have any beer?

No, but I can buy some.
Yeah, I'm gonna buy some.

We'll be quick.

[reverts to English]
Bye, Natalia.

[squealing]

Yo, f*ck it, it's too
hot, I need to go in.

- What is that?
- What?

That, what are you doing?

It's a snorkel.

Where did you get that?

At, like, a little shop.

Why?

I wanna go under the water.

You look ridiculous.

[splash]

[Violeta laughs]

[both] One, two, three.

What is this?

- You're cheating.
- [laughs]

You totally cheated.

Get over here, give me that.

Give it to me.

[both laugh]

Where are you going?

Do you need anything?

Um, a measuring cup. Thank you.

Okay, yeah.

So, you can fill
it up to that line.

Do you need anything else?

Okay.

How's school?

Like...

like last semester?

We graduated already.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I'm going to grad
school in the fall.

That's amazing.

about you, Eva?

Can you grab me
the garlic powder?

The masa has really
good texture.

Thanks.

[reverts to English] Dance
with your father, come on.

No.

[in Spanish] Come
dance with me. Come.

- Come on, dance.

[in Spanish] Come on.

Come here.

Dance with your dad, come on.

Just for a second,
very quickly, come on.

[singer in Spanish] You
don't know what you feel

You ain't got a heart

A rehearsed drill, they are lies

That you sneak in with smiles

Poetry like breeze

That slowly stabs
the illusion...

- [synth pop song playing]
- Psst.

[Violeta] Shh.

- [Vicente laughs]
- Shh!

- I can't concentrate.
- Just go.

What? Don't rush me.

Well,

that would have been
ten minutes ago.

It's, like, the
lighting in this room.

[Eva] Oh, my God.

The shadows make it
really hard for me

to tell which stick is which.

[Eva] Don't blame
it on the shadows.

[Vicente in Spanish] We're
doomed with the technical.

- [Eva] Oh.
- [in Spanish] Oh, she moved it.

- Oh, my God!
- [Eva squeals]

That is why I told
you to shut up!

- [Vicente laughs]
- What, am I out?

No, no, you're not out.

You're not out, you're okay.

No, you just have
to return that...

You can put it back on,
you can put it back on.

No, I don't want kid rules.

- Tell me, am I out?
- Yeah, you're out.

- I'm out of the whole game?
- No, no.

No, she's not out,
you can keep trying.

[Vicente] I go now, so...

If I do this, I win, or...?

No, we have, like,

[Carmen] What's the d*ke
version of Prodigal Son?

[Violeta laughs] I don't know.

[Carmen] I've missed you.

What do you need?

- Um... Can I have a whisky?
- Of course.

Whisky.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late, I...
ran from a double, so...

No worries.

Just in case you didn't know
what I looked like anymore.

Hi.

[reggaeton song playing]

[indistinct
conversations, muted]

We need more beer.

Uh, I can get some.

Yeah, I can come with you.

- Yeah? Come on.
- Yeah.

Um...

Does it feel weird to be back?

No, it's just...

it's weird seeing my
dad with another kid.

I have a...
two-year-old at home.

It wasn't planned,
but I don't regret it.

Are you still with the father?

Come here.

[music playing in
the background]

Oh, f*ck.

[both moaning and
breathing heavily]

Everything okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Sorry if I...

Wait, um,

have you had q*eer sex before?

Yes, you're not my first.

[Violeta breathes heavily]

- Oh...
- Don't!

Sorry, I just don't like
it when people touch it.

Is that... is that
from the accident?

Hey. It's okay.

- [Camila grunts]
- You okay?

Yeah, but...

Eva?

Eva?

We missed breakfast
with Dad, come on.

- Yeah, sorry.

Yeah.

You see?

Yes.

You wanna use the
special stick? Yeah?

Oh, almost.

- Wow! Nice shot.

the only tip you need to remember
is not to mess with my table, okay?

How you feeling?

- Good.
- I can have one, yeah.

[Vicente] Hey, so
it's your turn.

No, it's okay.

[rock song fades out]

music fades in]

[Eva] You ready? Hold my hand.

Oh, my God.

[Vicente exhales]

All right, you gotta scoot.

[Vicente] Woo!

[Violeta] This is
the most you go?

I'm gonna teach
you how it's done.

[Vicente laughs] Oh, my God.

Yeah.

[all cheering]

Wow.

That was really good.

Two Cokes, yeah, thank you.

You know that I've
been saving some money?

To see if I can buy you guys
plane tickets for next year.

How's your mother? She good?

Yeah, she's good,

Not right now.

Hey.
