Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hello, Mr. Rodriguez.

Well, I'm sorry

about the shortage of chairs...

...but this won't take too long.

Perhaps you'd be...

- able to sit over here.

Good, good.

Right, right. Now, then...

Mr. Rodriguez, I'm going down

to court in a few minutes.

I am going down to court

in a few minutes...

...and before I go,

I would like you all to know...

...to comprendo...

...the insurance company

want to settle out of court.

How much money, Senor Fine?

Well...

I would think it's safe

to assume that we'll get...

...about $500 per person.

Now, there were 11 of you in the car,

so that would be around $5500.

I ain't going to do it.

You told me $ 100,000.

I told you we would sue for 100,000.

We're lucky to get that amount.

Remember, there were

11 of you in that car.

If that ever came out in court,

we might lose the case.

- But he hit us from behind.

- Yeah, but you had no rearview vision.

You couldn't see out the back.

Of course I couldn't.

The chickens were in the back seat.

That is also illegal.

It is not permitted in this country

to carry poultry in a passenger car.

No gallinas are allowed in this country

in a passenger car.

- You've gotta have them in...

- Harold.

Ma?

Ma?

- What's the matter?

- Yesterday, a living, breathing man...

...the picture of health.

Oh, Ma, no.

No, no, no.

- Mama...

- Sixty-one years old and they took him.

My father!

My poor, sweet old father.

What father? No.

Mr. Foley. Ed Foley, the butcher.

He had a coronary.

What are you trying to do to me?

You tell me a 61 -year-old man

has just died.

I thought it was Papa.

I don't understand

what he's talking about.

My father says he mourns

the death of your father.

- It's a mistake, Mr. Rodriguez.

- I see you want me to leave.

I didn't say that.

You can stay as long as you like.

No, I haven't time.

I have to help Mrs. Foley

with the funeral arrangements.

- Who?

- Bite your tongue.

He doesn't remember Ed Foley.

You hear, Joycie?

He doesn't remember

how Ed Foley saved his life.

When you were 2 years old, we had

a candy store in Boyle Heights.

You fell off the stool.

You turned blue in the face.

We took you for dead,

you don't remember?

And then Ed Foley came and...

God bless his soul. God rest him.

- And he took you in his hands,

and he breathed life into your mouth.

He saved your life

and you don't remember.

Yeah, I remember now.

I remember Ed Foley now.

- Oh, you see, now he remembers.

- Leave it there, will you, Mama?

All right, I'm going.

- You'll come to the funeral tomorrow.

- Yeah. Yeah, okay.

The wedding

is September the 5th at 2:00.

Wedding?

What wedding?

We're getting married, Ma.
