You won't make it.
Take the pan and casseroles
out of the fire.
My mum was bum unannounced
on June 6th 1968,
at the lunch rush hour.
And turn the gas oh'!
Go.
On the day Sofia is born,
Toni's cleaning with the paper
announcing Robert Kennedy's murder.
Meanwhile, Frank is about to receive
a horrible punishment.
Toni studies, Frank doesn't.
Toni helps his father, Frank plays
with his stepfather's gun.
Dad!
Pete, help us, she's giving birth!
Make her sit here.
Be careful.
- What should we do?
- Put her legs up.
Bring towels!
- A smoke.
- It's fine, the head comes first.
Sofia is bum weighing
surrounded by men
in need of a haircut.
She's beautiful.
Sofia.
Some time later,
she can prepare
She also learns that boys are nicer
- Here.
- Thank you.
- A hot dog!
- Ok!
She finds out that dancing
Sandwiches, the nicest sandwiches!
When she's eight, Sofia
starts showing shat an artist.
with native speakers.
At the age of 15, Toni saves
two English women and a Dutch man.
- What's in them?
- Ham, pineapple and lettuce.
- And in those?
- Tuna fish and cherry.
Tuna fish and cherry?
chocolate, but the sun melts them.
- Do you make them yourself?
- It's 50 pesetas.
It's good, but not the best.
I'll give you 25.
Hey, what are you doing here?
You should be at school.
Sofia!
Come.
Sofia! There's no need to hide.
I'm not hiding.
I just met your teacher.
- You failed.
- I know.
You're only interested in boys.
Studying is useless.
I don't learn and I don't like it.
You'd rather go shopping
and being admired?
- Every girl...
- You'd better be quiet,
- you fill her head with nonsense.
- Me?
Yes, you tell her she's
the tallest, the prettiest,
the most clever.
I'm not retaking the course,
I want to work.
- Where?
- In my dad's kitchen.
Your hair will always smell.
Does my hair smell?
I want you to have a clean job,
so you can wear decent clothes
and have weekends free.
- Take that off!
- I don't want to.
Ramon...
- Take that off!
- I don't want to!
OK, stop. Don't hit your mum.
Stop.
But she's right.
Only useless people are cooks.
That's right.
I'll show you who I am.
I can be anything.
I you leave,
don't ever come back!
Baby! Where are you going?
Should I follow her?
I told you I'd kick you out
if I caught you drinking.
The fish stew's perfect!
You can't hit me, I'm the chef!
You can't kick me out,
you're not the boss.
You screw the owner,
that's different.
I work long hours,
I know each costumer by name,
their favorite wine, everything.
You know who it is I screw?
The public.
I know what they want,
it's not you.
So get out, you piece of sh*t.
You won't be able to feed
- Out.
- A**hole.
He):
Can you offer me a job?
Maybe.
- What can you do?
- Fish stew.
- And sardines with chocolate.
- That, too.
Come on, help chop
onion and tomato.
Listen.
If someone annoys you or touches
your ass, tell me and I'll kill them.
OK.
- Come on.
- Let's go.
Toni!
Have you seen Sofia?
She ran away again?
She's terrible.
It's about the girl
who committed suicide
