Mosquita y Mari Page #4

---

What?

The Walkman.

You told me to hold onto it

so that guy

doesn't eyeball it.

Go play with your little

boyfriend or something.

Boo!

Come on, let's go!

You're finished?

Am I speaking Chinese

or something? Come on!

This ain't even

a real video game, Mari.

Yeah, it's a piece of sh*t!

Get off my lane!

Dude, not even!

I'm not on your lane!

Oh, is that right?

Oh, look at me!

I'm coming up in second.

That's right. Touch it now!

That's what I thought!

(Game ) New personaI best!

I don't have anymore change.

Mosquita!

(Music plays from the Walkman )

It's my jam right here!

(Both singing to song)

Thank you.

Tell me something...

Something you never told anyone.

I was five when we left

my grandma to come here.

My dad wanted her to

come with us, but she refused.

I still remember how

everyone was afraid of her

because she took care

of hers no matter what.

But she would always take me

on these walks to this river,

and we'd make tortas

with beans and cheese.

And we'd eat until we

couldn't take it anymore.

And we'd just lay there

and watch the birds fly.

She said if I really wanted to,

I could hear the wind

going through their feathers

as they flapped by.

And I swear to you,

for a moment, I could.

Ten years from now,

I'm gonna save up

and visit my grandma

in Xalapa Mexico.

By then, who cares

if I can't make it back?

Ten years from now,

I want to-

Be a doctor or lawyer.

I don't even know.

Maybe a truck driver?

Are you gonna ride with me?

You can take me

to my grandma's.

You can stay if you want.

Yeah, I could see that.

Yoli.

Hello.

You gotta get back

to your homework!

Yoli! Yoli!

Yoli!

Yolanda!

Come on! I'm ready.

Put a streak on each side,

and these are going to

look real cute, ok?

Yolanda?

No.

Of course.

Thank you.

Yolanda...

Look, um. I've got

these college pamphlets

and I was thinking maybe

you could take a look at them.

And we could talk about how

to get you a tour to visit them.

You know? Maybe one weekend?

That sound exciting?

- Yeah.

- Ok.

I won't lose sight.

Mari?

Yeah?

No chocolate.

Peanut butter and jelly ok?

Yeah.

Alright.

It looks nice.

Come on.

Yes, that's ok.

Thank you.

Oh, come on.

Not like this.

Like this.

See! That's what

I'm talking about.

That says, "I'm here!"

No... "We're here. "

Yeah, it's me and you for life.

Your parents?

Don Pedro's.

(Music plays from the stereo )

Just for a little bit.

I'm cold, Mari.

Ok, but just for a little bit.

You're probably going to go

far way for college, huh?

Wherever they accept us -

here, somewhere else.

Us?

I'm not helping you for nothing.

I can't afford it.

We'll figure it out.
