to see you in the trailer.

- I'm gonna get you, Marcos.

- No, you're not.

Isabel! Marcos! Stop running.

Pick up these toys!

I need to start lunch.

Not rice and beans.

You show me a clean room

and I'll think about it.

How can you have anything else?

Rice and beans is all you have.

Javi?

What are you doing home?

Why aren't you at work?

They let me go.

What? Why?

I was last hired.

They went over budget.

Why didn't you call me?

I could have talked to them.

We've got two children to feed.

I tried to tell him that.

But it made no difference.

We owe $400 in a week, Javi.

All I have is rice and beans

to feed the kids.

Marcos needs shoes.

I tried to tell him, Carmen.

I'm trying.

Look.

Here's $300.

Get whatever you need

for the children.

I'll go out and look for work.

Javi, wait.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to react that way.

Why don't you take the car?

We'll walk to the store.

I'm not gonna drive

while my family walks.

Carmen, I've asked God for help.

He will find me work.

Do you have anything

I can take with me to eat?

A tortilla.

Tell Jordan to get out of my room.

He won't leave my stuff alone.

- I'm not bothering her.

- Yes, you are.

Jordan, I told you five minutes ago to

brush your teeth and put your p. j.'s on.

- Now, do I have to get Mr. Pow-Pow?

- No, ma'am.

Well, let's start moving in that

direction. Quick, quick, quick.

I don't want you up all night

texting that boy. You hear me?

We need to know

more about him

before you even think about

developing feelings for him.

Hey, what boy?

Another saggy-pants boy

is interested in Jade.

But this time he's 17.

Mom, it's not that big of a deal.

It is a big deal when you're only 15.

Here, hold this.

Is this someone you met at school?

Yes. He's nice, though. His

grandmother goes to Mount Zion.

Does he go to Mount Zion too?

I think, when she takes him.

His parents don't go to church?

He lives with his grandma.

Has he asked you out?

Yes.

Jade, come on,

we already talked about this.

You can't go on a date

till they talk to me.

They have no business talking

to me until you're 17.

It's not a real date. We're

just going to the mall.

If a boy has asked you to go

anywhere with him, it's a date.

Nathan, it's Adam Mitchell.

Trying to kill me? That is nasty.

You're not supposed to be eating it.

My car should be ready

in a couple days.

Not a problem.

That shirt's a problem.

Heh, heh, heh.

You don't like my shirt?

Ugh.

Emily, what do you think of my shirt?

I love it.

Your daughter loves my shirt.

My daughter's 9.

Okay. Well, Tyler thought

it was cool, so I got it.

Your 12-year-old son's giving you

fashion advice?
