Chico & Rita Page #3

She says she's deaf,

but she doesn't miss a thing.

- Well, you two sure keep her busy.

- They keep me up every night.

If you want to come up here,

we can wait for him together.

- Pour me another!

- Ok, but this one's your last.

C'mon, man, why don't you

go home and sleep it off?

Hey, Juana.

Do me a favor

and take him home with you.

No problem.

Hey, baby.

Don't worry.

Mommy's gonna take good care of you.

She'll put you to bed,

tuck you in...

Juana, I can walk on my own, ok?

Who loves you, baby?

Who loves you, Chico?

Exactly, who loves me, huh?

Your Juanita...

Chico.

Ramon!

So you were leaving

without saying goodbye?

Do you want me

to say anything to him?

Yeah.

Tell him I don't ever want

to see him again!

You know something?

I never would have let you go.

It's a pity

I didn't fall in love with you.

A pity.

Ok, so we're all square!

Chico!

I know how to find Chano Pozo.

His sister gave me a letter for him.

He can make it happen

for us over there in New York.

My name is Chico!

It used to be.

Chico!

Chico, get up!

Chico!

Chico, get up!

- Get up, brother!

- What's going on?

Guess what?

We're arriving!

New York!

New York!

Dammit!

Careful, bro.

Let's go. Rita should be

getting ready for the first show.

- Rita Labelle?

- La-belle.

I like it. Sounds classy.

Follow me!

Come on.

For Rita Labelle?

I'll take them, thanks.

Here!

Wait.

I'll do the honors!

Scram!

"I needed to kiss you again"

What are you doing here?

Didn't Ramon tell you that

I never wanted to see you again?

- I need to talk to you.

- Where's your girlfriend?

- Why didn't you bring her?

- She means nothing to me!

That's what you said,

and then I found you two making out!

Enough already!

One day you drop me,

the next you come looking for me!

You think you can do

what you want with me?

Rita, I know I've been a jerk,

but I'm here now and I love you.

We're not... in Cuba and

I'm not the girl you used to know!

You're still the same girl to me!

Don't you realize

that everything's changed?

Look at me!

That girl you reduced to tears

stayed back in Havana!

Go away!

Get outta here!

Go and don't come back!

Whatever you say.

Come on,

it's not the end of the world.

Hey, we're in New York!

Look... I think this is the place.

It's Charlie Parker!

Look, that one over there

is Chano Pozo!

Chano Pozo!

Hey, who's the guy with the hat?

Where did you two escape from?

Did Cuba sink or something?

I was supposed to be down South

right now with Dizzy Gillespie.

But you know why I'm here?

Because we're not allowed

in a lot of places down there either.

We have to use

the service entrance at hotels,

sit in the back of buses.
