babies to their mothers.

Yeah, ones I know, not strangers.

Besides, those are two

very green mangoes.

And with those scared faces...

the "Migra" will spot them

a mile away.

So... do we have a deal?

Okay, let's go.

So, it'll be $2,000 to get you across...

or $2,500 if you also want

job contacts.

All right, Carlitos...

tell me what you want

for your birthday.

The same thing I wanted last year,

and for Children's Day...

- Three Kings Day and Easter.

- I know where you're going with this!

You want me to get you across.

But I won't.

Are you crazy?

You have no idea how dangerous it is!

- I have money.

- I don't pay you that much.

Been saving some of the money

my mom sends every month.

- I've got $1,200.

- How much?

- $1,200.

- Wow, that's a lot.

I'm supposed to be

the businesswoman here!

- You could give me a discount.

- No, no, no.

I promised your mother

and your grandmother...

I would never get you across.

If they found out you're even working

for me, they'd pull my hair out.

You're nuts. No way.

Granny...

do you want tea or hot chocolate?

Granny.

Granny, don't pretend

you're still asleep.

Granny.

Granny!

Wake up.

Granny? Granny?

Granny.

Wake up, Granny. Please!

Please, no!

Please, no.

Please, no!

For Chito.

My godfather will take care of you.

I'm gonna go find my mom

before she forgets about me.

Help me get there before Sunday

so she won't worry.

I'll miss you so much, Granny.

I'll get it.

Who's at the door?

Why can't you come home?

Is she there?

I can hear her voice.

Hello? Hello?

Do you need anything else

before I leave?

- You did the upstairs bathroom?

- Yes, ma'am.

What about the plants outside?

They need to go into bigger pots.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. McKenzie,

but you didn't mention the plants.

I'm quite sure I did.

Well, if you'd show me which ones,

I'll do them first thing in the morning.

Why can't you do them now?

Well, I go to another home

in the afternoons.

Well, then, never mind.

I suppose I'll have to do it myself.

I can do them in the morning.

Don't worry.

Forget it. Forget it.

How was Cruella De Vil today?

Same as always.

Poor woman.

With a husband like that.

Yeah.

You're going to the Snyders' now?

Yeah, I have to pick Tommy

up at school.

What you got there?

A study guide for the citizenship exam.

If the lawyer works out,

I'll have to take it.

I don't know any U.S. history though.

It's easy.

First they screwed the poor Indians.

Then they screwed the slaves.

- And now they're screwing us Mexicans!

- Amen!

Ah, here's my date.

Wait. Wait.

He's trying to be a rapper,

needs to look like one.

Very convincing.

Well, I'm off.

See you at home.
