Please forgive me.
This whole Eddie thing's got me really tense.
Don't worry about it. I understand.
Just know that Santiago's my boyfriend
and I don't like when people are rude to him.
Besides, he's my coach.
I'm sorry, Santiago.
Relax, it's not a problem.
Let's go.
Marisol, I need to ask you for a favor.
What's up?
Eddie just had surgery, and I'd hate for him to get sad.
He needs his spirits lifted. That's what he needs.
Sure, but what are you getting at?
Last Eddie heard, you'd broken up with Santiago.
He doesn't know you're back together,
and I don't want him to find that out today.
Okay, don't worry. I won't say anything.
Thanks.
No problem.
How could you walk in without knocking?
Get over here, Lili. Sit down.
There's no need to be embarrassed.
It's normal at your age to try on your older sisters' things.
-Normal? -Yes!
You're a developing girl.
You want to check yourself out, and look older.
You're not going to take weird pictures in those bras
like other crazy girls do, right?
No, Mom.
Good.
I was trying on the dress
because there's a neighborhood party.
All my clothes are for little kids,
which I don't want to wear,
but all of Marisol's clothes are huge on me!
Do you know who you're talking to?
I'm the best seamstress in all of Tamaulipas
You think we can sew a dress for the party?
Of course!
I'm going to make you the prettiest dress ever!
You'll be the best-dressed girl...
No, the best-dressed young lady at that party.
You're going to look great.
Hey.
Marisol, I've been waiting for you for days.
Don't exaggerate.
It's not like you've got a fatal illness.
Plus, you look pretty good.
Pretty bad more like it.
Stop that. I heard you're going to be fine.
Soon enough you'll be recovered and running around.
Maybe you can even sneak a goal past me,
though you never have 'cause you stink at soccer.
I never could.
You've got to be serious about your physical therapy.
Sure, if it's you who's asking.
You're my motivation.
I'm just your best friend.
Your recovery depends on you, Eddie.
Well, on your legs.
Always looking for a way to make me laugh.
Know what? I'm leaving.
Do you know how long we've been waiting?
We're almost there.
Number 63, Window 1.
That's us.
English or Spanish.
Spanish, please. Thanks.
I see it's the first time
-for you both. -Yes.
While we were waiting, we heard we'd be given a course
on how to write a résumé and given tips
for how to interview for a job, right?
Which, by the way, are those classes mandatory
to get the food stamps?
Yes, you have to apply for several jobs.
Sir, those applications are worthless.
Besides, they ask the same thing over and over again.
How many applications?
20.
A month?
No, a week.
-20 a week? -Shall I register you or not?
Yes, yes, of course.
I told you this was a waste of time.
Especially for me. I'm a high school dropout.
-I never should've come. -Really?
Yes, really. I should've done things my way.
Just one more piece.
I'm so excited. Lili's first party.
The sewing machine is for customers,
not for the whims of the family!
I'm done.
I'm going to try it on. Thanks, Mom.
Great, look who's here.
I'm glad you're here, honey.
Want something for dinner?
No, Mom. I'm not here for dinner.
I need to speak to you alone, where this gossip can't hear.
Come on.
What's going on? You're scaring me.
It's nothing bad. Calm down.
Santiago's waiting outside for me.
See how you get?
That's why I told him to stay outside.
You know I don't like your relationship with that guy.
Like it or not, he's my boyfriend.
I'm done explaining that to you.
I came for some clothes
because I'm going to live with him for the next few days.
I was in my element. Like a fish in water.
-Yeah? -Yes.
Practice was fantastic.
The girls are really talented.
In fact, I didn't even know they were that good.
I'm certain they'll win their next tournament.
There isn't one of them that doesn't try her hardest.
Then Santiago showed up and I had to return to the café.
But tomorrow, I'm officially the new assistant coach.
I'm happy for you, sweetie.
It's obvious you really like this.
You're lucky to have found a job you like.
Which works to my benefit in my custody battle for Maddox.
By the way, Alma was here today.
She wanted to see you.
How does she know I live here?
I don't know.
I asked the same thing, but she wouldn't tell me.
She wants to set the dates for Ashley's visits to see Maddox.
Yeah, the judge said she had every right to see him.
It's the best thing for Maddox.
You can't keep him away from his mother.
I was surprised to be sent here after asking for you.
This was Erika's office.
Yes, they gave it to me when she left.
Ma'am, I only came to find out if you'd spoken to Jose Maria
about me visiting my son.
I went, but I didn't see him.
I left a message with Erika.
I'll let you know when he gets back to me.
Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I'm worried.
Now that Maddox lives with Erika,
if anything were to happen to Jose Maria,
could Erika get my son?
Of course not, Ashley.
The judge was very clear in that regard.
Nobody can strip you of your rights as mother.
If anything happened to Patas and you stayed clean,
you'd get him.
I know you're 18.
Legally, you might be an adult, but to me, you're a child.
You know how long it's been since Rosa slept here?
Don't use Rosa as an example. It ruins your point.
Just look how your sister ended up.
First, mixed up with a criminal, then a married man!
Lower your voice.
Santiago is neither a criminal nor married.
-There's a big difference. -But I don't like him for you.
-Why must you sleep there? -Just for a few days.
And quiet! It's just a few days.
Yeah, I figured this was coming.
I'm sure you're already having sex.
Gross, Mom.
Do you at least know about protection?
Alright, enough.
I was alone from age 12 to 17.
Like you said, I'm 18 now. I'm an adult.
I'm not going to screw up.
I stopped being a child a long time ago.
And I'm not stupid. I can take care of myself.
Mom, you have to trust me.
Trust me.
Son of a bitch, I can't believe it.
I think you're ready now.
How do I look, Marisol?
Very pretty. That's a pretty dress.
She's ready for her first party.
I'm excited but nervous too.
Who's going? Who's taking you?
You can't go alone.
Yes, I can. Don't start.
It's near the park. Besides, I'll get there early.
Who's going?
I don't know, neighborhood kids.
Jordi's the one who invited me.
Isn't Jordi the kid that made fun of you with his friends?
And isn't he older?
No, he's 14, and I'm almost 13.
So we're practically the same age.
What are you gonna do if you're offered alcohol?
Say no.
And drugs?
No, no, and no. I know.
Very good. I would've liked to go with you.
I don't like you going alone, but Santiago and I have to...
It's okay, sis. I'll take her.
-Huh? -Yes.
No.
I don't wanna show up with a chaperone.
Fine, I'll stay where I can see you
but far enough away that nobody knows I'm with you.
Marisol's right.
You can't go alone to a party when you don't know anyone.
What are you doing here?
Right here!
Stay here and mingle with the others.
So they won't know we came together.
Okay, I understand.
-Hi. -Hi.
You look very pretty.
Thanks.
Look, that idiot showed up.
What's your husband waiting for to send his thugs
to hurt my son?
We're not together anymore. I left him.
Did he do all that to you?
Santiago, please...
What's with the bags?
Marisol's staying over for a few days with Lina and me.
You want something to drink?
Of course.
Be right back. I'll bring you something.
Nothing.
No responses to any of my applications.
The only offer is Guillermo's.
Are you still considering going to Chicago?
No.
Look, Guillermo made me another job offer.
He wants me to be his assistant.
When?
He came over this morning, just as you'd left.
So he waited for me to leave to see you.
That's not the point.
The point is he made me a job offer,
and I said that given the circumstances...
Of course I said I had to talk to you first.
You don't see it, Erika!
That idiot is after you! Don't you see it?
He waits for me to leave to see you,
he offers you a job to have you by his side the whole time!
You really don't see it?
Santiago, darling, you have no reason to help this woman
and let her stay here.
You can help her by sending her to a hotel.
Lina's in danger, Mom.
Besides, it's been decided. She's only staying
a couple of days.
You're allowing this?
I respect Santiago's decision.
I'm going to stay here until Lina leaves.
It's no secret I've never wanted you to be with my son.
But between you and this woman who's only ever hurt my son,
I obviously prefer you.
But may I give you some advice?
You staying here won't resolve this.
You resolve this by sending this woman to a hotel!
Here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I love this song. Want to dance?
Later. Just stay here.
But we were dancing before.
But...
Come on, you're a great dancer.
Disgusting.
Good going, kid.
You may not have boobs, but at least you got your period.
