Come on, Jorge! Arriba!

Ohh!

Don't they have bag races

South of the border?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Winner!

Whoo!

Here we go!

Whoo-hoo!

What do I win, huh?

Not me, baby.

I'm taken.

Hey, buddy.

Did you get wet?

I sure as sh*t did.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh, I made you Richie's special

Spanish mac and cheese.

I hope you like it.

You're sweet.

Sorry about this morning.

You didn't do nothing.

Yeah, but still.

You know,

I really missed you today.

Me too.

Yeah.

I like the flowers.

So, how'd it go?

Boring.

How about you?

Come home all right?

Yeah.

Where's the car at?

Some jerk-off parked

in my space.

I had to move it down

to Molly's room.

Believe that?

I didn't know if you'd left

it on the road or what.

Oh, come on.

I take care of my business.

I tried talking to Edwin about

that college program again,

but he just keeps

on blowing me off.

So, what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Call the number, I guess.

Just, I hate to make

phone calls like that.

I never know what to say.

Just be yourself.

Yeah.

It's crazy town's "Butterfly"

from MIX 100.7.

Come, my lady

I love this song.

Come, my lady,

Come, come, my lady

You're my butterfly,

Sugar, baby

Such a sexy, sexy

Pretty little thing

Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung

With your tongue ring

And I ain't gonna lie

'cause your loving

Gets me high

So to keep you by my side

There's nothing

That I won't try

Butterflies in her eyes

And the looks to kill

Time is passing, I'm asking,

"Could this be real?"

'Cause I can't sleep,

I can't hold still

The only thing I really know

Is she got sex appeal

I can feel

Too much is never enough

You're always there to lift me

Up when these times get rough

I was lost, now I'm found,

Ever since you've been around

You're the women that I want,

I'm putting it down

Come, my lady,

Come, come, my lady

You're my butterfly,

Sugar, baby

Come, my lady,

You're my pretty baby

I'll make your legs shake,

You make me go crazy

Come, my lady,

Come, come, my lady

You're my butterfly,

Sugar, baby

Come, my lady,

You're my pretty baby

I'll make your legs shake,

You make me go crazy

Unh, come and dance with me

Come and dance with me,

Unh, unh, unh, unh

Yeah, come and dance with me

You know you got

To dance with me

unh, yeah,

Come and dance with me

Come and dance with me

You don't need these.

You know

You got to dance with me

Oh, baby.

Sorry, Viv.

I don't know what's

wrong with me.

I slept through my alarm again.

Thank you, sir.

You hung over, mamita?

You all right?

I'm just mad tired.

I'm mad hungry, too.

Tired and hungry, huh?

Yeah.

I feel sick.

Must be coming down

with something.

Oh, my goodness.
