“You need a bath, Borras. Yes? I’m coming. There they are. Take care. Borras, stay. Don’t let him out. Go away. Go upstairs. Go. Just hello. Of course not. He’s just a friend. Besides, you introduced us. They’re home. Borras. Borras, Borras. Borras, stay. Come in. Manita! Adela! Oh, God! Is he okay? How awful. Adela? Mrs. Sofía is here and the kids wants strawberries. Hurry. Thank you. Yes. Yes, ma’am.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“♪ When I tell you that I’m poor ♪ You won’t ever smile again ♪ I long to have it all ♪ And lay it at your feet ♪ But I was born poor ♪ And you’ll never love me ♪. You shouldn’t be up here. Your mom won’t like it. Don’t go near the edge.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“And what’s up with you? Aren’t you going to tell me? Then resurrect. All right, then. I can’t. I’m dead. Hey. I like being dead.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Here, Borras. Here. Come along. Your strawberries, doctor. Scoot. Make Dr. Antonio a chamomile. Move.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard, and rule and guide. ♪ Little one, sleepy little one ♪ Sleep with the angels ♪. Time to sleep, my darling. Good night, Sofi. I love you too. Sweet dreams. Toño, go to sleep!” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Borras. Pepe turned on the lights again. He’s a prankster. Little devil. Oh, that Mrs. Teresa. She is probably spying on us. Hurry up. Taking care of us. Yes. Mrs. Adela. They were yummy.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Oh! Ah! I won. No, I won. Let’s eat. What did they say? Ah. Sweet thing. No!” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“I like movies. Don’t you? Yes, it’s nice. Want to go to the park? It’s really nice outside. You train every day?” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Borras. ♪ Kitty, kitty, sleep kitty cat ♪ Wake up as here comes the mouse ♪ Kitty, kitty, sleepy kitty cat ♪ Wake up as here comes the mouse ♪. Good morning, my princess. Time to wake up. Okay. Paco. Wake up, my angel. Come on. Paco. It’s time. Let’s see. Yes, ma’am. Come.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“When you were old? Or when you get old? And when was that? And what did you do then? A pilot? Did you like it? Was it? I’ll be right back. Good evening. God forbid you’ll get tired. Prepare Dr. Antonio’s oatmeal. Yes, ma’am. I’ll take the bags, doctor. Thank you, doctor. Bye.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Hey, I have to… it’s just that, I’m late. I think I’m pregnant. But it’s almost over. No.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Mrs. Sofi? When you have a minute, can we talk? Okay. Paco, Toño, your mom is calling you! Sofi, Pepe, your mother is calling you. Come, sweetie. We’ll come back after. Yes. Yes. Oh, Mrs. Sofi… I just think that I’m pregnant. I haven’t gotten my period. I don’t know… Fermín. The cousin of Adela’s boyfriend. He’s gone. Are you going to fire me?” — Cleo Gutiérrez
“Fine, thank you, doctor. Three months. Less.” — Cleo Gutiérrez
Adela
“Manita, manita! Fermín is on the phone. Ok, but I want to know. What did Fermín say? Yeah right. You’re dating! I’m just messing with you.” — Adela
“Hey! Yes. My boy. Yes. But I love him. Turn off the light. Mrs. Teresa doesn’t like it on. Yeah, she’s there stalking you. She probably stays awake. Taking care we don’t waste electricity. Ready? One. Two. Three. One. For the tamales. Two. For the tortas.” — Adela
“We drew. But the car. Do you remember ‘pushy’ Moises, from town? He kept sending me letters. That he can’t stop thinking about me. That he needs to see me. Then my cousin arrives carrying a bunch of letters. And I recognize Moises’ handwriting on one. So I grabbed it and opened it. ‘I can’t stop thinking about you. I want to see you.’ Yeah right, ‘sweet.’ That letter was from another girl! The bastard sends exactly the same letter to all the girls.” — Adela
“Hello Ramón! Hello, Fermín! Thanks, we ate. Let’s go. What, you’re not coming? Look at you. I’d rather play in the dark. Tell me everything later. Why didn’t you wake me? Ah. Your oatmeal is ready, doctor.” — Adela
“Manita. You take it. Don’t be afraid.” — Adela
Senor Antonio
“Who are these kids?” — Senor Antonio
“I’ll call her. Where’s my brown tie? This house is a mess. The fridge is full of empty cartons. And there’s dog crap everywhere.” — Senor Antonio
“Thanks. Morning, Pepón! Damn… let me help you, Cleo. Bye, Pepón! Take care. It’s just a few weeks.” — Senor Antonio

No. We’re spending Christmas at your uncle’s. And New Year’s we’ll go to the Bárcenas’ hacienda. Yes. And the Matos family, and the Larssons. His research is keeping him in Quebec a little longer. He doesn’t know. But I brought paper so you can write him a letter. Mmm? Tell him that you love him and to please come home soon. You’re not going anywhere until you’re done with your letter. Where are you going? No! Sure. Go to your room. Sofi, help Pepe write his letter at the table. I need to talk with Cleo. Help him write, ‘I miss you a lot, dad.’ Make lots of pretty drawings. Come, Cleo. What’s up? What is it? Are you all right? Sure? What’s wrong? Is your mom all right? Yes? What’s wrong? What do you mean you ‘think?’ Since when? Who’s the father? Does he know? Silly.

“Daddy. No! She’s with me! Just a few more minutes.” — Pepe
“When I was old, you were there, but you were someone else. Yes. No, when I was old. Before I was born. I was a pilot. Yes, a fighter pilot. No, it was scary. Mom! Hi, daddy! Yuck! Cigarette! Mom, daddy stepped on dog poo. Bye, daddy. You too. Yes, mom. Bye, Cleo!” — Pepe
“♪ It’s raining it’s pouring the old man is snoring ♪ It’s raining it’s pouring the old man is snoring ♪. I got more hail than Sofi! No, I got more. Yeah, Disneyland! Wait, Sofi! Look, mom! I drew a plane. Why is Cleo cring? Pain, pain, go away, I don’t want this pain to stay.” — Pepe
Paco
“So that kid was throwing water balloons at cars that were driving by. Then an army jeep drove by, the kid throws a balloon at it, the soldier gets mad, he gets out, and shoots him. He shot him in the head. He’s dead. In Canada! You’re so stupid!” — Paco
“I’m taking care of him. You were supposed to die. ‘Cause it’s my game. Well, I don’t want you to play it, you little sissy.” — Paco
“They’re mine. But I put them in the freezer. Nah-uh, it’s 7:17. Here. Get fatter. You get out of my way! Shotgun! I’m up front. I choose. No, it’s Creedence vs. Beatles. You choose when it’s your turn. I’m not going to shut up.” — Paco

Fermín
“You really feel like seeing a movie? But it’s so nice outside. Sure. Give me a sec. Shall we? What? I must. I owe my life to martial arts. I grew up with nothing. My mother died when I was a kid. I moved with my aunt to the slums. There, my cousins beat me. And I met the wrong crowd. And I started drinking, and then huffing. I was dying. But then I discovered martial arts. And everything came into… focus. Just like when you look at me.” — Fermín
“Ah, well… that’s good, right? Yes? Yeah. I need the bathroom. Yes, but I have to go now. I won’t be long. Want an ice cream?” — Fermín
Dr. Margarita Vélez
“Sofía! Hi, Cleo. How are you? I’m going to check her and we’ll see you later. It’ll take about 40 minutes. Cleo, come with me. When was your last period? About when? Three months. Are you sexually active? You are. When did you start? Has it been long? One or two years? Less? But more than three months? How many sexual partners have you had? Just one? Very well. Don’t worry. This is common. We’ll examine you from the waist down. She’ll get you in position.” — Dr. Vélez
“I’ll see you in a month. Any questions? There she is. I’ll go with you. Mario! Cleo is fine. She’s three to four months pregnant. With some rest, she’ll be fine. Around the end of June. It’s nothing! Take care. Mario. Take care.” — Dr. Vélez

“Doctor. Doctor.” — Dr. Mario Zavala
