I don't know what happened. Come and talk to [name].
I'm really sick. You'll have to make breakfast for the them.
I woke up in the middle of the night, soaking wet. It was like I was on fire.
Today's my last day of high school, I'm not going to miss that.
I struggled to give you birth and raise you, and take care of this family.
I didn't ask for you to give birth to me, okay?
Hang on a minute. What's happening with the college applications?
I'm not going to college.
You're smart, you have something to contribute to this world.
My family can't afford college.
I'm really sorry to have to say this, but you should probably spend your time helping somebody else.
I've been waiting for this day.
I was keeping it warm for you until you got here.
You know, you can always just kiss my ass to get your job back.
Why did you quit your job?
Why do you know about this?
You're just going to have to get another job.
I don't know, and really, I don't care.
Why do you have to say that?
I can't afford any more help!
We have already discussed that amongst our family.
But we need you to work now. You can go to college later.
Just to please think about college, okay?
Excuse me, but I am nothing like Mom, okay?
You know, why do you always have to be like this?
I only tell you for your own good!
What do you think you're doing?
Why would it be my fault?
You are not going to make me cry.
Are you going to be working here full-time?
I'm just working here until I win the lottery.
I can't believe you finally made it to the factory.
Come on, let me show you your job, come on.
It's real easy work. Just keep doing that.
How much do they pay us to make these?
And how much do they sell them for at the stores?
Does this seem right to you, [name]?
Can't you do anything right!?
How many years have you had this one hanging here?
It's too late for [name] to get married.
I don't lie on applications, except about my weight.
I didn't think it was necessary.
Write about something you know. You can write about yourself.
Um, I don't know if I'm going anymore.
I was thinking about joining you, but you're not going anymore?
You'll get a whole new perspective.
Do something different, you know?
Your number? Maybe we could hang out?
I don't watch Spanish soap operas.
Eh, but of course we know what he wanted, eh?
Ooh, let me guess, she gets pregnant?
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
You'd better listen. That's what happens to people who don't listen to their mothers.
Are you busy? I mean, is this a bad time?
I'm just calling to say hi.
Do you think I'm your maid? You left dishes in the sink.
Aren't we supposed to be working?
[Name], why are you late?
I wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn't know how to tell you.
I'm sorry that I have to leave,
Don't be sorry. I mean, I'm happy for you.
I just can't pay you right now, okay?
I can't believe you're paying us late again.
Let's get back to work before I change my mind.
What kind of a mother would you be if you don't help your own daughter?
I love you so much that I make your life so miserable.
You expect me to do this dirty work for nothing?
How would you know what hard work is?
I never wanted to work here in the first place!
See the trouble you cause?
Why are you waking me up?
You're imagining things, okay?
I need you more than ever now, [name]
You're not going to believe this.
A mother knows the right man for her daughter.
Girls nowadays think they know so much, eh?
The reason they end up pregnant is because they don't know how to use contraceptives.
Your husband's not going to like you knowing so much.
Why is a woman's virginity the only thing that matters? A woman has thoughts, ideas, a mind of her own.
I mean, a letter's not going to do anything.
Why should I be afraid of [him/her.them]?
Um, I didn't say anything.
Can't you keep your mouth shut?
I was just trying to help, [name]!
You're just figuring this out?
Why don't you go talk to the doctor, not me.
I made this list of topics to talk about so that we wouldn't run out of things to talk about.
You have a really beautiful face.
You don't take compliments well?
I had a nice night tonight. I guess this is good night.
I couldn't pay the hospital.
I never realized how hard Mom works.
Let's prove to them that we can do it.
I remind myself that it's not for me.
Do you want to hear music tonight?
[Name], does your mom understand you?
I don't know, it's like she hates me.
Where'd you tell your mom you were tonight?
Hey, hey, don't worry. You're going to get accepted to college, too.
This is beautiful. Did you make this?
Oh, my God, are you serious?
I got accepted with a scholarship?
I'm sure there must be wonderful colleges in this area.
You don't understand, it's one of the best schools in the nation!
We are a family, and we intend to stay that way!
It's not going to change anything!
I didn't come this far to see my family break apart.
I don't understand. How is this breaking us apart?
I want you to see me. See, this is what I look like.
Don't worry about me anymore, okay?
Once you get to college, we won't have anything to talk about anyway, and I don't know, you'll probably end up with some people, right?
I'm really going to miss you.
You would say that, wouldn't you? There's more to me than what's in between my legs!
You're the one who pretends that you're pregnant for attention!
You can't have a baby. I'm not your baby anymore!
I'm going through the change of life. It's over. I'm no longer a woman.
Why should I listen to you?
How dare anybody try to tell me what I should look like, or what I should be when there's so much more to me!
I want to be taken seriously, and respected for what I think, not for how I look!
Why is everybody so quiet?
You want something to eat?
I thought you were going to the airport with us.
I wanted you to be there.
You're going to do great. Call me, okay?
Did you want to come out and say good-bye?
