in love.

Well, that's what

I thought because...

...we agreed to meet one day

but he never showed up.

I never heard from

him again.

You mean, he doesn't know

he has a son?

It's about time!

What happened to you? Look

at you, you're a mess!

-Nothing, Mom!

-What do you mean?

You've been fighting again?

Go deliver this laundry!

What's wrong?

They're taking the house

away from me.

How much do you need?

Lefty! What are you

doing here?

The door was open.

-Why are you crying?

-No, I'm not crying.

Nephew...

How are you doing?

Six months away and

we've already got enough...

...for the festival.

Everybody chipped in.

-Well, almost everybody.

-Isn't Mendoza going to chip in?

Like hell!

That loan shark?

-He never goes to the party.

-So what?

It's a tradition and

we all do our part.

Well, yeah.

Where are you going?

You think she killed someone?

How can you think my aunt

would kill anybody?

So, buy me a soda and

I'll help you...

...deliver the laundry. Deal?

-Wait for me here.

-Yeah.

-What can I get you, Lefty?

-Two large cokes, please.

So this is Mr. Big

shot marble player?

The very same one.

Your change, son.

Isn't true.

Don Emilio,

how many times...

...have we seen him leave

that Basilio on the ground.

One thing for sure...

...no one can beat

Lefty at marbles.

How many rascals

has he beaten?

How long since we've

been watching him win?

Mom's going to kill me!

You soiled all the laundry!

Why did you leave it there?

Don't go selling alcohol

to minors, Don Emilio.

What's up, brother-in-law?

Working hard?

-Hey, Don Emilio...

-Let me tell you that...

...this is a marble

shooter's neighborhood.

No. Not like Santa Maria.

You'll see.

Not even

God can beat Lefty.

-You got that right!

-And who claims otherwise?

I'm just saying that

in Santa Maria...

...we have the best marble

shooter in the country.

If not the whole world.

Well... put your money

where your mouth is.

You've got it.

Well, I'm in.

-So am I.

-Me too.

I thought you didn't have

money to pay me back?

How about $500 a piece?

What? Scared?

I'll bet five grand.

Let's see them.

Put them up yourself,

Don Emilio.

From the commission

we spoke about.

I'll bet one... hun...

hun... hundred.

When shall we have

the match?

Sunday the 29th?

Done.

You think this Wizard

is really that good?

Give me a hand with

that one.

But it won't dry in time.

We'd better use the washing

machine. It's faster.

Are you crazy? That

thing can't even be used.

No one is going

to find out.

Besides, we don't even

know how.

We can figure it out.

See? I told you it wasn't

going to get dry.

Take it out of the machine.

But it's still wet.
