How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer Page #3

---

You have to put in the first

gear all the way in, first.

Perhaps my daughter is right.

I'm too old for this.

No, no, no.

No, no.

She's wrong.

Good morning.

Something wrong?

Unh-unh.

I'm sorry about your son.

I know.

I tried calling you, uh,

but, uh...

They told me you weren't

taking calls.

Your mother-in-law said

you were going crazy.

I was.

No mas llorando y fumando,

fumando y llora, y llora

y llora.

I wouldn't eat...

I wouldn't shower...

And my husband had to take

care of my little girl.

I was no longer cooking

for either one of them.

Then I saw my face in the

mirror, and I didn't

recognize myself.

My...

My cheekbones had gotten

so boney.

I tried on my wedding dress...

which hadn't fit me since

the day I wore it,

and it was baggy.

Miguel came home and saw me

like that...

and I told him...

"don't I look pretty?

Just like the day we first met. "

And that was the only time

that he cried.

How did you snap out of it?

I heard my little girl tell

Miguel that she wished

that she had died...

then her mommy wouldn't

be so sad.

I cleaned myself up

that very night.

And that's how it was.

You...

You go ahead and you say hi to

Miguel and Ana for me. Okay?

Okay.

No. No.

Fine.

Lolita, gracias.

Adios.

Um...

Uh, what are you doing here?

Your wife just, uh,

bought some meat a couple

of days ago.

I'm not here for the meat.

Lolita, if you sold beets,

I'd be eating beets every day.

Same thing with ice cream...

all the time.

I don't care... nails, wood...

whatever.

Um, we just...

anything you got to sell,

I would be buying.

We just sell meat here,

so what will it be?

How about a smile?

One. Come on.

A little smile.

All right, give me a pound

of chorizo.

Um, Jose Luis,

a pound of chorizo, please.

So, um...

That'll be a dollar.

A dollar?

A dollar.

It says ninety-nine cents.

I'll give you change.

Thank you very much.

No!

i

Don Pedro is a nice man,

No?

Mm-hmm.

He has been giving me

driving lessons for free.

I know, Nana.

Everybody knows.

Does... does that bother you?

No.

Doesn't have anything

to do with me.

I... I don't know if it's the

heat or what, but when I am in

the car with him, I get

the strangest feeling.

I know what you mean.

When I'm sitting next to Sal

in his car...

I get so electric down there

it's like I have to squeeze my

legs really tight until

it goes away.

Happy birthday, Vieja.

Hey!

Go, go, go, go.

Go get dressed.

No!

We're gonna have breakfast

at Nana's house. Come on.

Hi.

Buenos dias, Ama.

"Happy birthday"?

Ama, say it already.

I don't know what you're

talking about.

How can you go out in public

dressing like that?!

What's wrong with the way
