[Maggy in English] Fifty-three, baby!
[both laugh]
-[Gaby] Okay! What else? -[Maggy in Spanish]
[Gaby in English] Like what?
[Maggy in Spanish]
-[Gaby in English] Whoa! -[in Spanish]
-[in English] Wow. -[in Spanish]

[Violeta sighs]
[kneading dough]
[in Spanish]
[laughs softly]
[in English] How much did you say you paid?
[Gaby in English] Fifteen.
Cents, I hope?
-No. Dollars. Ma! -[Violeta] Mm-hmm.
You paid three weeks of ice cream money for some crackhead--
She is not a crackhead!
You know it's mathematically impossible--
[in Spanish]
[Gaby] And for your information, she has predicted a lot of stuff that has come true.
-Really? Like what? -Today, how many platanitos were in the ba--
-[chuckles] You're joking? -Ma!
[in Spanish]
[Abu in Spanish]
-[in English] This year. -Hmm.
-Shut up! -[Violeta groans]
[in Spanish]
[in English] She said to keep playing the numbers Abu always plays.
[Ceci] Clever.
Watch, when we win, you're going to be sorry for not believing me.
Okay.
Okay. Just warning you.
Okay.
[Violeta in Spanish]
[Abu] Hmm.
[Abu] Mm.
[in Spanish]
-[in English] What are you doing? -Nothing.
Nothing? Then why'd you jump when I came in?
School stuff... you caught me off guard.
Okay.
-Give me-- -You're--
-Give me that! -Shh!
-I thought-- -Shh!
-Did you tell Mom? -No. I don't wanna worry her.
Ooh. Mrs. Perfect's got a bad side!
[in Spanish]
[in English] This isn't bad?!
-[in Spanish] -Ah!
[in English] Bad is bad. No exceptions!
[in Spanish]
-[in English] What? -Don't do it.
It's fine, Gaby. Relax. Go do your homework.
[in Spanish]
-Ceci? -Hmm?
[in Spanish]
[beads clinking]
[in Spanish]
[in English] Hey.
[Ceci in Spanish]
[laughing]
[in English] Seriously, though. When are you gonna stop carrying that with you?
You look like a weirdo.
If you stare at it long enough, it kinda looks like a bridge.
So?
So it inspires me.
Reminds me that I will build them.
Like, for real build them or like in your mind?
Both.
Okay, freak. [scoffs]
But you can't build a bridge to Venezuela, homegirl...
you stuck.

[indistinct singing]
[Ceci]
[no audible cheering]
[woman in English] I see most of your classmates regularly.
We've locked down their choices together,
but I haven't seen you in here all year.
I--
-I just-- -At this rate, you're gonna have to start in the spring
and not this coming fall.
I actually wanted to ask you about Florida Bright Futures.
You're not thinking of staying in Florida for school...?
-Well-- -Most of your top choices are out of state.
-I know, but-- -María, with a GPA like yours,
you really shouldn't be anywhere short of an Ivy League--
I know, um...
But...
[woman] Hmm...
Think you'll get homesick?
[clicks tongue] Most of you kids do.
American kids? [chuckles] They don't care.
-They just can't wait to get out the house! -[both chuckle]
-Yeah... -And that speech?
I need you to come in more often so I can see it.
[Ceci in Spanish]
-[in English] Got it. Here it is. Twice divorced. -Yes.
All right, well, I see here that your latest husband, Brent, removed your--
Well, I am inquiring about my current adjustment.
Okay. I see. Let me check.
Oh.
Um. There seems to have been a mix-up because of your last--
uh, because of your maiden name.
It hadn't been adjusted?
Not that I can see, but I will do it now.
-Please. -[keyboard clacking]
-All right, done. Sorry for the delay. -A three-year delay.
-I do apologize, but we have had a serious back up. -I can see that.
But with this small correction, looks like you are in line
for final review between today and tomorrow.
You should be getting a response within the next few weeks.
-How many weeks? -We are experiencing a back up, ma'am, so I can't be sure,
but within the next few weeks you should be getting a response in the mail.
But if you could at least give me an estimate--
Sorry, ma'am. That's all the information I have.
But you can always call our hotline for updates. One sixty-two!
[automated voice] Now serving B-3-0-9 at window number 13.
-Now serving S-9... -[Ceci in Spanish]
[teacher muffled in English] María?
Care to join us?
María?!
-[school bell rings] -[sighs]
Cecilia. María Cecilia.
Your brain frying from all that brainstorming?
Talking to yourself now?
No, it's just...
-names are important. -Okay.
So why don't you stand up for yourself and tell people what to call you?
I-- I--
[mocks stammering] What you stuttering for?
You better learn to stand up for yourself
and get things off your chest.
Keeping things in causes throat cancer.
-[clicks tongue] -For real. And girl,
you been here more than half your life.
You should be used to people chopping up your name by now.
I know.
Or if it really bothers you,
say something.
[backpack zips]
-Don't think I forgot, valedic-freak! -Oh!
[both in Spanish]
[laughter]
[in English] Guess what?! I just got my full ride to USC for track!
-What?! -Yes, girl!
Oh, my God!
-So, uh, party at my house? -Oh, hell, yeah.
My parents are throwing me a huge party after graduation.
It's gonna be off the chain. You should come, too, Ceci.
Oh, I'll make sure she gets there. This is huge!
-I know. Yo, I was freaking out. -I know, you were driving me nuts.
-Well, it was really hard competition. -You're the best runner I know.
-I'm the only runner you know. [laughs] -True.
-Whatever. -[school bell rings]
Oh, shit. We're late. Okay. My bad. Gotta go.
-Ey. I'm proud of you! [laughs] -Thank you! [squeals]
-Bye, Ceci. Happy birthday! -Thanks.
And congratulations!
-[imitating Ceci] Oh, hey, congratulations. -[Ceci mumbles]

and it's your birthday.
We dress up on Wednesdays.
[in English] Sorry. I forgot.
Well, don't be sorry! Go change.
Gaby, I really don't want to.
Come on, we'll never win with you dressed like a slob.
We'll never win regardless.
Hey!
[whispers] Sorry.
What does what we wear have to do with anything?
It's just-- it's bad juju.
Come on, please.
-Is this gonna go on all year? -'Til we win.
-Come on. Hurry up. -[groans]
-[Gaby] Pick your best outfit. -[Ceci sighs]
[singing in Spanish]
-[cheering] -[Yakuanda in English] I can't believe
-I know that long-ass song. -[in Spanish]

All of our agents are still assisting other calls.
-Ow! -[in Spanish]
Hmm?
[inhales]
-[man in English] All right, ma'am. Sorry about that. -[sighs] No problem.
-So it looks like it is finally being reviewed-- -Oh, thanks God.
And you should be getting a response in the mail within one to 12 weeks.
-Twelve? -That is correct, due to the high volume of callers.
If there is anything else we can help you with, please visit our website.
-Well, if at least you-- -And don't forget to fill out the survey on our service!
[disconnect tone]
Okay. [in Spanish]
[Ceci in Spanish]
Nah...
[sighs] [in English] Supervisor said the same thing.
Gotta be the original. Sorry, honey.
Okay.
Thank you.
María!
But I'll see if there's anything I can do.
If there is, you'll get a email.
[Ceci in Spanish]
[laughing]
[birds chirping]
[in English] Yeah, I went during lunch.
[Yakuanda] Damn.
Yup.
[sighs]
-Yo! Defender of the people! -Hey!
-[Ashley] Look at my dorm! -[Yakuanda] Oh, my God! Look!
I got my dad to make me a cute little neon 305 sign to hang over the bed.
-[Yakuanda in Spanish] -[in English] Did you figure yours out yet?
[Yakuanda clicks tongue, scoffs] You know my mom's tripping.
-Trying to make me stay home for school. -[Ashley sighs]
But I've been fighting the good fight.
-Your girl's gonna be a lawyer someday! -[laughter]
Listen, you gon' build yo' bridges, I'm gonna fight injustices,
and you gon' run after everybody. Trifecta.
-Watch out, America. -[laughter]
-You going to Jabari's tonight? -[gasps] I got my mom's car!
-Scoop me? -Yeah! Duh.
We should have a designated driver, though.
True.
Oh, no, I can't.
-Come on! -[scoffs] You don't even drink!
-I don't. -So then?
-Well, I-- -You what?
-I can't. -Ugh! Lame.
Seriously. Come on.
-[in Spanish] -[in English] Oh, shit.
She's got something to do. We'll figure something else out, though, Ash. We good.
-All right. -And I gotta go!
Final disbursement scholarship letters come in today!
-[screams] -[Ashley] Get it, girl!
Ey, don't go spending your afternoon
brainstorming your brain to death,
María Cecilia Lopez Lugo
Martinez Rodriguez Ramirez... [inhales] Perez!

[sighs]
[man in English] Vee!
Brent. What are you doing here?
I, uh... I live around here.
I know.
You're stunning as ever.
Uh, I... uh...
I thought I saw you over there at the light
-and so I wanted to come over here and talk to you. -I'm working.
Vee, I feel really bad about what I did.
Here, let me-- let me help you. Let me help you.
Yeah, there, yeah.
Will you, um...
do you think you could
give me a chance to show you that I've changed?
[trunk thuds]
[in Spanish]
-[in English] Hello?! -Sorry!
So?
-Car wash boss. He didn't ask any ques-- -Shh!
-They don't even speak English! -I don't care, keep your voice down.
[loud whisper] Okay, so did he?
No. I told you it was just to shelve it.
-And what about Miami-Dade? -Nothing yet.
So then, what does that mean?
-Out of state. -So?
-Nothing, I don't wanna talk about it. -Fine.
-You're a genius! -Hmm.
You are! Mine's going to be the best in the class.
Mm, not so fast... [in Spanish].
-[in English] Put it back together! -What?!
How are you gonna do your presentation if you don't know how it works?
Ugh!

[Ceci in Spanish]
[in English] There are lotto drawings on Saturdays, too!
That doubles our chances.
Don't tell me we have to dress up on weekends now, too.
Duh. Gonna go get that ticket.
[in Spanish]
[in English] Make it casual Saturdays! Maybe it brings better luck.
[Ceci in Spanish]
[Violeta] Hmm?
[whispers]
[both]
[Abu] Oh!
-[Gaby] -[Abu]
[Ceci in Spanish]
[Gaby in English] Maggy, Saturdays too!
-That's right! -[both laugh]
[wind blowing]
[Ceci in Spanish]
[both]
[in English] Exactly. [laughs]
What does that have to do with anything?
[scoffs] I don't know. Those things are truth.
I still feel some type of way every time I see Jabari in fourth period.
-[scoffs] -[laughs]
That's different.
I think he should come here and they should get back together.
-Who? -Your pop.
-Oh. It doesn't work like that. -Why not?
-He has work there. -So? He could work here.
He's a lawyer there.
Well, there's no laws over there right now, so what's he lawyering?
True.
[inhales] That place is twisted. [exhales]
I know.
Hurts to be there. Hurts to be out.
Ooh, that's good.
Write about that.
-[bus brakes hiss] -What was that?
What? I don't know.
You don't think we could get busted for trespassing here, do you?
[clicks tongue] No, scaredy-cat.
[Ceci in Spanish]
[in English] Brent.
-[purse zips] -[in Spanish]

Hi. Come in. Come in.
Come on in. Here, I'll put the chair here for ya.
There you go! It's good that you came. Thank you.
[Brent grunts]
Oh...
Yeah.
This is great.
Oh, this...
-[tray clatters] -Oh! Sorry.
Okay. Ah.
Hmm [sighs]
It's...
[Ceci in Spanish]
[in English] That's gonna be like 20 minutes, okay?
-All right, that's fine. -Here you go. No change.
-Yo! -Hey!
Look what I inherited from my ugly-ass brother for campus!
[chuckles] That's so cool.
Wanna be my first passenger?
Uh...
Don't tell me you're scared of being towed.
-Can't we get, like, pulled over for that? -What?
No. I mean, it's a bike.
-I know, but still-- -Ah, I don't wanna hear it.
You have no choice. You're coming with me.
But I'm not off 'til like 20, so...
[huffs] I'll wait for your scaredy-cat ass. Ha-ha!
[chuckles]
[Ceci in Spanish]
[in English] I mean, if it makes you feel better, sure.
But... [scoffs] even if I didn't...
fuck with your petition again, which I won't--
I would never do that again.
It'd be pretty difficult for you to keep that agreement,
you know, legally.
For my peace of mind.
Okay. We'll do that. Sure.
Uh... [chuckles]
I wanna show you that I've changed.
In due time, I will.
I'm a man of God now.
[Ceci in Spanish]

[Yakuanda in English] That wasn't so bad, huh, Hesitaty Hennesy?
-No. -Told ya.
I'm not graying prematurely for no reason.
There is wisdom sprouting from this head.
-[laughs] Shut up. -[laughs] It's true!
Ooh. That's good!
[laughter]
[Yakuanda] Wait. Rice, really?
[Yakuanda] Whoa. Sky's blazing tonight, right?
[Ceci] Our spot is Miami's best kept secret.
[Yakuanda] Psh. We're Miami's best kept secret.
-[laughs] -Especially you with your secretive behind.
[in Spanish]
[in English] That's real.
You know...
I never say this to you, but...
it feels so good to be able to switch language
and you still understand me.
-Mm. -Like...
I always feel that people only know half of me
if I can't also speak to them in Spanish.
I always say the same thing.
[singing continues]
Yo.
I'm really sorry about that whole designated driver thing earlier.
It's all right.

[inhales] Maybe.
What?
Why, I couldn't finish myself off. I needed to hear your voice.
-Hey, hey, hey. Come on now. Come on. -[grunting]
Come on. Give me some of this shit!

[Yakuanda] I think you said this one was your favorite.
-Is it? -Yeah!
It's the first ever iron arch one.
It's a mystery how they did it because so many others had tried and failed.
But...
someway,
somehow...
they did it.
