Illegal Tender

MAN:
Where's the money?

How much did you take?

Wilson's not here to

save you right now.

You know, you old timers,

you don't never learn!

Please!

What happened to our money?

It was for my daughter!

Joey. That's enough.

Bring him out, man.

Bring him out here.

Go get me Joe.

All right.

What did I tell you

about stealing from us?

It's the second time

you took our money.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

How many fucking times

we got to tell you?

Yo, what's up, Caesar?

Don't look at him!

This is the last time

you're going to

steal from us.

(BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH)

Oh, you think

I'm joking now?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Yo, what's up Wilson?

(MEN CLAMORING)

Calm down.

Listen, you can't shoot

this motherfucker in here.

You can't.

JOEY:
You're always

saving him!

Listen,

I'll handle the man, okay?

You the boss, Wilson.

You the boss, but I'll

be standing right here.

You cool?

I'm good, bro.

I'll be right here.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Damn, Joey,

you fucked him

up real bad, man.

He shouldn't

steal from us, bro!

He shouldn't steal from us.

(SHUSHING)

Yo, he's a bullshitter!

What?

Joey, do me a favor.

Take the bags outside.

Wilson.

Take the bags outside.

Just give it

a good planchado and take

the bags outside, okay?

You the boss.

Okay.

You got lucky.

Get the bags, man,

let's go.

I should have shot him dead.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Wilson.

You don't know, bro.

Sometimes you gotta play

the only chips you've got.

Gracias, Wilson. Gracias.

Wilson, hold on.

You got a phone call.

This is Wilson.

JAVIER.

How we doing, Wilson?

Javier.

Doing well, very well.

Yeah,

that's what they tell me.

But what can I

do for you?

You've done enough.

When are you

making the payment?

Tonight.

Will you be there?

Do you want me

to be there?

I prefer it that way.

You know we have

something to talk about.

Then I'll be there.

Divvy this shit up,

all right?

Hey Mercy, Sonia.

$10,000 per stack,

not $10,001, okay?

No more pennies

given away.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING POP SONG)

Jessenia,

get away from the TV!

No more.

That's it, I can't.

Wait,

I'll cut you a little piece.

No, I feel as big

as a truck already, Ma.

Well, that's it.

I need a bigger

piece than that, Ma.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Enjoy.

That's what

I'm talking about.

Exactly what

I'm talking about.

Millie.

Yeah.

We're gonna talk

about those jeans?

Wait.

Jeans. What jeans?

Calvins.

No, those jeans?

Let her have them!

Those are our jeans.

Shut up!

(ALL CLAMORING)

You have an ass,

she doesn't have an ass.

I'm gonna get them for you.

Sit down.

MILLIE:
Girls go get them.

Sit down.

She's giving the jeans away.

Sit down.

Good flan,

I like the flan.

Better than the one before.

You got a plan?

Plans?

You gonna live

here with the baby?

I have something cooking.

In my home

I did the cooking.

My man paid the bills.

You been cooking?

What I meant was,

I have something

happening down the line.

It's gonna happen.

Do the math.

She's eight months.

It's over.

Jessenia,

don't be so nosy.

NILSA:
Get it together.

I don't want my daughter

living in this neighborhood.

I thought we talked

about this, already.

You're right,

they don't fit.

Give us a minute, mamita.

What happened?

Nothing.

Just give us a minute.

Are you sure that...

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Okay. All right.

I want you to listen to me.

I'm serious.

I'll take them.

I'll take them both.

If my daughter has

to step foot in this

rat trap neighborhood

after giving birth

to my grandchild.

We understand each other?

I gotcha.

Good.
