La Mission Page #2

Synopsis: Growing up in the Mission district of San Francisco, Che Rivera (Benjamin Bratt) has always had to be tough to survive. He's a powerful man respected throughout the Mission barrio for his masculinity and his strength, as well as for his hobby building beautiful lowrider cars. A reformed inmate and recovering alcoholic, Che has worked hard to redeem his life and do right by his pride and joy: his only son, Jes, whom he has raised on his own after the death of his wife. Che's path to redemption is tested, however, when he discovers Jes is gay. To survive his neighborhood, Che has always lived with his fists. To survive as a complete man, he'll have to embrace a side of himself he's never shown.

didn't l?

- No, you didn't.

But that's not the point.

- Then why don't you

tell me what is?

- Che, l really don't want

to argue with you.

- Nobody arguing with you.

You told me moving my car

ain't the point,

so l'm asking you what is.

- The point is that

this is a public sidewalk,

not a personal garage space,

which means it belongs

to everyone, not just you.

- Listen, bottom b*tch,

you know how long l've been

in this neighborhood,

in this house?

- l don't want to do this.

- 26 years, all right?

- Meaning what? lt entitles you

to do whatever you want?

- l'll tell you what it means.

lt means that after

all you little hipster

and new money types

get tired of slumming it,

l'm still gonna be here.

Entiendes?

- Hi.

- l told you, l can't.

- Can't or choose not to?

- l choose not to

because l can't.

- Talk you into it?

- Sure.

How much?

- Full body massage.

- Oh, happy endings?

- Of course.

Does guilt tripping count?

- lt's even better.

Go for it.

- Okay.

A month ago,

who not only went with you

to your UCLA orientation

for emotional and moral support

but borrowed

his mom's credit card

and BMW sports coupe

and drove you there?

Ouch.

- And lest ye forget---

he's going for the jugular now.

Who blew Gabriel's horn

on the way down

and twice on the way back?

You're pretty good.

- So what time

am l picking you up?

- l'll meet you there.

- What are you gonna tell him?

- l don't know.

Make something up, l guess.

- Maybe even tell him

the truth?

- l'll see you tonight.

- Yeah.

Yeah, l will.

No, l can do it.

Well, no, l can't probably

get there that fast.

Hmm?

Okay.

Yeah, no.

l'm---I'm still here.

Yeah, 8:
00 is perfect.

Ha!

Ooh!

Hey!

Ha!

Huh!

Uh!

Ha!

Time is truly wasted

There's no guarantee

- You need a hand with that?

- Oh, hey, Jess.

Would you?

Let me---okay, one sec.

Let me clear the space.

That's good.

Good, perfect.

- That's a whole lot of plant.

- Yeah.

At least let me

get you something to drink.

- Actually, l got to go check in

with the old man.

- Okay.

Well, got it.

By the way,

l like it.

Good feng shui.

- You think?

- Most definitely.

- Yo, Pop, you home?

- Yo, yo.

Where the party people at?

What you think?

Traded Esteban for that

'72 Monte Carlo steering wheel.

- lt's hella sharp.

- Figured l wear this one.

You wear my black

Pepe Le Pew.

Pilot to copilot,

you know what l'm saying?

- Actually, Pop,

l was kind of thinking

of sitting this one out,

you know,

if it's all right with you.

- Hey, whatever floats

your boat, homes, you know?

What's it this time?

Another study group?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- You don't remember?
