- Cool.

- See you later, dude.

- Are you crazy?

- Trust me.

Yeah, that's good. Perfect.

That's it. Yeah.

Now you're getting the hang of it.

But she's stepping on me.

So why are you putting

your feet here?

That's the way.

Oh, Lord.

Magdalena's starting

to look so grown up.

I know.

Walter and Silvia offered

to padrino the DJ.

That's nice.

But there's still

the problem of the car.

I told you already.

I know, but we have

everything else now.

The answer is no.

But it's her big day.

Exactly.

It's a milestone in her spiritual life.

And if all that means is riding

in a Hummer limo...

...trying to keep up with Eileen,

then God help her.

I don't understand what

the problem is. It wasn't much.

Five hundred dollars

for the afternoon, driver included.

Ask one of the cousins.

I'm sure someone will padrino it.

I don't know.

He hates the whole idea.

That's your father, isn't it?

A good man, a holy man...

...but with his head in the clouds.

Some of us here on Earth,

we like a little luxury now and then.

Okay. Put your shoulders down.

You're a pretty girl.

Neck, 14 and a half.

Chest, 33 and a half. Waist, 31.

- Hips, 36 and a half.

- What? That's so big.

I know. I thought you'd be

smaller than Eileen.

Congratulations,

you're in the running...

- ... for America's Next Top Model.

- Thank you.

The next name that

I'm going to call, Christina.

Jasiel, how many tamales

do you want?

Three.

And you, Magdalena?

It's okay, Mom. I'm not hungry.

You learned a new trick today.

Congratulations.

Here, Joey, here, Arthur.

Don't you want to take a jacket?

It's cold out.

No. I'm not going far.

Okay.

Here, Joey. Here you go.

- So echinacea...

- Hey.

- I told you before.

- I know. I know.

- So how long have you been in L. A?

- Two weeks.

Hey, dude. What's up?

Glad you could make it.

- Thanks.

- You want a drink or something?

- Yeah.

- Come on.

Tony, this is Carlos. Carlos, Tony.

- What can I get you?

- Beer's fine.

- Cheers.

- Wow, James.

Congratulations on the new place.

Thanks. Come.

I want you to meet some friends.

Carlos, this is Stephen and Simon.

- Hey, Carlos.

- What's going on?

We've been looking around here

and when something comes up...

...people are bidding over asking.

I know. This area's hot right now.

It's so hot. We were looking at

a place a couple years ago.

But Stephen was concerned

about the crime.

- No, I wasn't.

- Yes, he was.

That place went back on the market

and doubled in two years.

Let's hope it keeps up. You have

no idea how much we paid for this.

I'm wasted.

I want you to meet somebody.

Hey, Carlos, this is Alejandro.

Alejandro, Carlos.

- What's up?
