But I want to see you on Sunday.

- I'll try.

- Try.

Well, I'll do my best.

That's good enough.

How's my nephew, Martin?

He's doing good, he's good.

Look, I got to get going.

Okay, okay, okay.

Don't stop because of me.

Hey, hey! What about the blessing?

Okay.

You're good to go.

I want to see you on Sunday.

Or else I'm going to hurt you!

What's that word there?

- Start?

- Start, that's good.

Keep going.

Hang on, baby.

Hello?

Yeah, this is she.

Actually we're gonna be making

that payment today,

and thank you for not

disconnecting it sooner.

Yes, that's correct, and when

is our next payment due?

Yeah, but I'm paying you today.

Listen, my husband and I

have been out of work

the last ten months and we've been

going on every interview

that we could get.

If you could please, maybe

push the payment back

by two weeks or so, yeah?

Well, could I talk to your supervisor?

Okay, thanks I will.

Excuse me, Dr. Baker, I am Chavez...

Hi Mr. Chavez.

Well sadly, I don't have

good news for you.

Martin will need another operation.

The surgery we performed

when he was 4 months old

to widen the narrowing

preliminary tracked

to enclose the ventricular

septal defect,

wasn't as successful as we had hoped.

Plainly, his heart is weakening.

He's going to need

another surgery very soon.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey, baby.

I have to go to an interview.

- I'll be right back, ok?

- Okay.

- I love you.

- Miss you already.

Get better.

Hi, I'm Gia Chavez.

Oh, yes, Mr. White is ready

for you right now.

Thank you.

So in the very first round,

he kicked me right here

and cut this muscle off in half.

I was in so much pain.

And I went through it, you know.

In round first, second, third,

but in the fourth round

when I go to the corner,

your Uncle Jose was there.

I was ready to tell him, "Man,

I throw the towel, it's too much pain,

I can't take it, it's not worth it."

And right before I'm going to say it,

he looks at me and says

"You got this man, I love you."

And I felt like the whole world

was behind me.

And the bell ran and I turn around and

I see this guy

running at me like a train.

He keeps on coming and I'm waiting

and he's coming and when I get

right in front of him I punch him!

I'll never forget it,

he's flying in slow motion,

lands in the canvas

and I look around and

your Uncle Jose jumps

and hug me and says

"I told you you can do it."

And what I learned from that

is that you never give up.

And you'll never give up.

Cause I'm a champion

and you're a champion.

So you're going to be fine.

You're going to be fine, baby.

Very impressive, Mrs. Chavez.

You seem to be a little

over qualified for the job,
