Secret is in the sofrito.

Wilson?

Come here and say hi

to a friend of mine.

Wilson.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

(SIGHS)

Oh, that's all right,

that's all right.

Look, maybe we can do this

somewhere alone, someday.

Yeah. And we will.

You want to

give me a minute?

Sure.

Thanks.

Wilson,

get back here right now.

That wasn't necessary.

Well, you know something,

I just don't remember raising

any idiots.

Pleasure to meet you, Wilson.

Okay, leave.

Get out of this room,

right now.

I'm sorry.

It's a phase.

Yeah,

we all go through phases.

Don't worry.

Cheers.

RANDY:
There it is. Yes!

Come on!

What up, little man?

Wil!

What up!

Oh, okay, Xbox 360.

Okay.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Start all over,

start all over.

Start a new game.

Wait a minute.

Go get your homework.

See, I like that you

just know what to do.

Delicioso.

Yeah.

See you tonight.

Where's your homework, Randy?

Found it.

Exactly.

Here.

Come here, come here.

Eight times eight is what?

Sixty-four.

Okay, so why did you

put fifty-six?

I don't know.

MILLIE:
Wilson?

Yeah?

Can I talk to you, please?

He's checking

my homework, Mom.

I know that, baby.

He'll be right back.

Turn that off

until you're done

with your homework.

Mom!

Off.

(GROANS)

These last two

right here are wrong.

Really?

Yeah. Check them.

Stop rushing

your homework.

Son, let me ask you

a question.

What did I tell you

about the garage?

You didn't tell me nothing.

I told you I wanted it

cleaned out.

I wanted to put some

workout stuff in there.

You can hire

people to do that.

No, Son.

I asked you to do it.

This ain't even

about the garage

and you know it.

Well, okay,

I really don't give a sh*t

what you think it's about.

You know what?

I just want you to do

what I ask you to do.

It's that simple.

I'm not gonna do it.

What's your problem lately?

I don't have a problem.

It seems like you do.

Now, you keep

disrespecting me,

and you keep doing it

over and over, Wilson.

And I want to know...

By the way,

did you have to be

rude to Ralph?

Who gives a sh*t

about your friend, Ralph?

Hey!

I do.

What's your problem?

You know what?

Forget it.

I said I was gonna help

Randy with his homework.

Wilson, wait.

Listen, you've

never questioned

my integrity before.

And you know

what I'm about.

If you have something

to say to me, Son,

then just...

Then say it.

You know what?

What?

What?

ANA. So what do you know

about your father?

Nothing to talk about there.

I was ten when my

grandmother died,

and after that

my mom shut down,

and she went man-crazy.

Can't blame her for that.

I'm not blaming her for that.

You're judging her.

I'm not judging her,
