00:58
Yeah, Tia was shoved in the back seat.
01:20
Scared shit, Liz.
01:21
She hit the curb, turns the car 10 ft in the air.
01:24
75 years old, she landed perfect in the lock.
01:27
Then she turned around smack the top side, the head said, hey
01:29

01:31
When I say me who come here, I'm just here once you see that.
01:56
Oh Good Mia here, come here, come here.
01:59
I never had, I never have any interest in soup from parts of
02:02
the pig.
02:02
That's not you.
02:03
I have no respect.
02:10
You never talked to me in Spanish definitely needs more salt
02:19
I can tell they're talking about me.
02:20
I just can't tell what you're saying.
02:21
You're paranoid.
02:22
Everyone's having a good time.
02:23
I think I can still see something.
02:25

02:25
Not at least you could come and help me start this while I take
02:28
a minute to mom.
02:31
What are you wearing?
02:32
You look like somebody died.
02:33
One did die.
02:33
That's the point.
02:34
So you don't have to keep reminding everyone of it too much
02:37
Time with your father got so serious.
02:40
Jesus' mom, don't take the Lord's name in vain.
02:46
You could translate for me.
02:48
Explain it to them.
02:48
Maybe if you came around a little more often you'd pick up some
02:51
Spanish yourself.
02:58
I didn't recognize you.
03:00
You got so big.
03:01
Very somber, doesn't she look somber?
03:03
It's awake.
03:05
You call me.
03:06
You don't like when you do that always.
03:09
It's a sign of respect.
03:10
You're the same age as me.
03:12
It doesn't matter.
03:14
You look too thin.
03:17

03:54
They're all talking about you.
03:55
You can talk to them for me.
03:57
She was, they won't believe me.
03:58
I'm too far.
03:59
You must go to the one that betrayed, you betrayed.
04:01
Wait what?
04:09
And they go a no want to be here.
05:03

05:04
So shit you can see it.
05:14
Lord get it.
05:22
O the is that you, I'll be right in, I'm just, I'm just wondering
05:29
Nana's plans, you know how she felt about these damn things
05:45
I what?
05:51
Yeah.
05:56
If I could just hear to live in this house.
06:03
Excuse me?
06:10
Um I um yeah, you guys remember when nana broke that bottle
06:19
of tequila over to Miguel's head.
06:21
That one Christmas.
06:22
Well, do you, I guess you probably don't.
06:28
I know I wasn't around much but uh me and my dad, it was just us
06:32
We didn't really do the whole tradition thing.
06:35
So I guess I really didn't know what it was that she let me help
06:39
her cook that year.
06:39
And I remember sitting on that broken ass table, you know,
06:42
she had and I reached out my hand at just the wrong moment and
06:46
she cut the tip of my finger and I screamed, you know, but she
06:51
snapped in this kitchen, we don't cry over nonsense and she
06:57
threw a roll of toilet paper at me like it wasn't nothing.
07:00
And then she pulled out the ingredients for the and suddenly
07:04
there's this pig staring up at me and I thought me and this pig
07:14
we're the same, you know, and I wanted to ask her like, how
07:24
could you do that?
07:25
How could you kill it?
07:27
But then she put a finger over her mouth and said real soft.
07:32
I miss her.
07:34
Now we put the love in and then she danced again and I remember
07:44
thinking this woman runs the world.
07:49
Nothing can kill my nana.
08:00
She had a lot of pride and uh a a respect I wish I had and I, I know
08:12
y'all have been hearing some stuff about me but um if we don't
08:18
have that was a family.
08:25
I don't.
08:26
So no.
08:29
So um I guess the this is Fernando.
08:58

09:03
Oh If we step no fear getting his ass up.
