Fools Rush In Page #4

She loves compliments, but you have

to talk to her on her left...

because she is stone-deaf

on her right ear.

What else? Oh, yeah. Never say

"Jesus Christ" in front of my mother.

My sister-in-law Petra and my brother

Antonio have a baby named after me.

- Any questions?

- Yes. What's your last name?

Fuentes. Isabel Fuentes.

And you're Alex...

- Whitman.

- Right.

It's nice to meet you.

Isa, hi. I was gonna get some ice.

Everyone's around back.

Who's this?

New boyfriend?

Juan, this is Alex.

Alex, this is my nosy brother Juan.

- Nice to meet you.

- Does Dad know about him?

And I wasn't going to come tonight.

Good luck!

Your father, is he a big man?

Come on.

Let's get this over with.

This is a family dinner?

I guess a lot of people

couldn't make it.

Tough room.

What is the matter with everybody?

Can't I bring a guy to dinner?

Hello, Isa.

Hi, Chuy.

Fine.

It's been a long time

since you came to one of these.

I was afraid

we'd never be friends again.

That's where we started,

isn't it?

This is Chuy.

He's a very good friend of the family.

We grew up together.

Chuy, hi. Luke Skywalker.

How are ya?

Sorry. You probably get that a lot.

Yes, he is my boyfriend.

Do you have a problem with that?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

You're a very lucky man.

There's nobody like Isa.

Nobody.

What happened to the music?

Seems like a nice enough guy.

He's gonna kill me, isn't he?

He's not the one

you should worry about. Come on.

My beautiful baby!

Who is this?

Mama, Papa...

this is Alex Whitman.

Mr. Fuentes, Mrs. Fuentes,

it's a pleasure to finally meet you.

Isabel talks about you

all the time.

That's funny.

She's never said a word about you.

Tomas, behave yourself.

I can't keep up. She's engaged, and

then she brings home a man with a tie.

I was not engaged!

Sir, that's one of my favorite things

about your daughter.

She's always full of surprises.

Come on, Alex. I think we'll be safer

in the other room.

Let me take your jacket.

You'll have to excuse my husband.

Sometimes I think he wishes Isabel

was still six years old.

When you become a father,

you'll know what that means.

- These pictures are really incredible.

- Yes.

They're Isabel's.

Haven't you ever seen her work?

Yes. Yes, I have.

It's just that

when I see her pictures...

it's like I'm looking at them

for the first time.

That must be the house in Mexico.

Yes. Aguascalientes.

And that is

Isabel's great grandmother.

They have a very special connection.

You can see it in the eyes,

that same wild spirit.

- I can handle my own love life.

- I think that runs in the family.

Since when?

This is terrific!

The taste is truly amazing!
