I'm feeling awfully neglected

out there.

It's time we went to dinner.

Tracy, could you

give me a minute, please?

Sorry. I came at a bad time.

I'll go get my purse.

I'll let myself out.

- Tracy, what are you up for?

- I know the place. It's a little wild.

If you recommend it,

I'm sure it's gonna be great.

I'll catch up with you guys.

I've got a bit of a family emergency.

What are you doing?

Alex, don't!

Alex is going to meet us there.

Sh*t! Sorry.

Oh, my God.

Isabel, don't jump.

- What are you doing here?

- Just stay off the ledge.

I'm not gonna kill myself, stupid.

But if you come any closer,

I'll throw your ass over!

Wait a minute! You walked out on me

at 5:
00 in the morning.

I never heard from you. Months later

you show up saying you're pregnant.

And I'm supposed to know

exactly what to do?

I'm sorry, but I don't know

exactly what to do.

That's the best thing

you've said all night.

Wow! This is incredible.

I love it here.

My great grandfather helped build this.

He came up from Aguascalientes

in the '30s.

Really?

Where?

Central Mexico.

My great grandmother still lives there

in a 400-year-old hacienda.

Every time I drive back from there

I make a wish at the state line...

right in the middle of the dam.

- Does it ever work?

- Depends on the wish.

My father's gonna kill me.

He doesn't know?

Nobody does except Lanie,

my roommate.

He can be a very passionate man

when it comes to his only daughter.

What can I do?

- I'll deal with it.

- No, really. I wanna help.

Maybe one thing.

Come meet them.

- Your family?

- I want them to know who you are.

So later, when they ask me

who the father is, I can say...

"You met him, remember?

I brought him home once."

Hey, no problem.

You just say when and we'll go.

When.

You have dinner with your family

once a week?

You have dinner with your family

once a week?

It's like a tradition.

Why? Don't you?

- Holidays and stuff.

- That's it?

You don't know my parents.

That's a lot.

How are we gonna do this?

Just act like we've been dating

for a few months.

Whatever you do, don't tell them

I picked you up outside a bathroom.

I thought I picked you up.

So we've been dating

for a couple of months. Who are you?

Let's see.

I am a camera girl at Caesar's.

You know, "Would you like a souvenir?"

That's how I pay the bills,

In real life, I'm a photographer.

I'm doing a book about the desert.

I have five brothers.

The oldest one is Antonio.

Then Carlos, Juan...

Miguel, Fernando,

and I am the baby.

But anybody messes with me,

I can take care of myself.

Tio Roberto is my favorite uncle.

He's married to Tia Rosa

who makes all the tamales.
