2.1. INT. ESTRELLA RUIZ'S HOME IN MEXICO- ESTRELLA RUIZ - DAY
ESTRELLA RUIZ is in her 60s. She is a cold-hearted and bitter woman. She is obsessed with her younger sister.
Estrella is cooking diner. Then the doorbell rings.
ESTRELLA RUIZ
(yelling)
It is open, come in!
A man walks into Estrella's home. PEPE MENDOZA is in his 30s. He is a crook and isn't interested in honest work. He dreams about making a living in the USA. He tried a couple of times to get into the USA, but without success.
PEPE MENDOZA
(formally)
Good afternoon, mother!
ESTRELLA RUIZ (CONTINUED)
Come sit! I made you soup after
an American receipt!
PEPE MENDOZA
(smiling)
That's so kind of you, mother!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
I want you to get used to
American food! Our Mexican
is meager it doesn't grow the body,
our people are all scrawny!
PEPE MENDOZA
(thoughtfully)
Our people are barely scraping by!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
I want you to be strong and take
care of your mother!
PEPE MENDOZA
I will! I will never forget what you
did for me!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
What's the first thing you wanna do
when you are in America?
PEPE MENDOZA
(embarrassed)
I will ...
ESTRELLA RUIZ
You haven't thought about it, have you?
PEPE MENDOZA
(embarrassed)
I have some American friends, I will
ask them!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
Good! Socialize! You are a young man,
Pepe and young men have always
plans! You will make it in America,
I know that for sure!
PEPE MENDOZA
(formally)
You are very kind, mother!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
I want the best for my son!
PEPE MENDOZA
Thank you, mother! I will take care
of you! With my first salary, I will bring
you to America and you will live with
me. We will make it together!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
(sternly)
Don't wait too long, Pepe ...
PEPE MENDOZA
(thoughtfully)
I won't, mother!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
I wanna dance at your wedding! I will
kiss your beautiful American bride
and I will give you and your wife my
blessing!
PEPE MENDOZA
Thank you, mother!
ESTRELLA RUIZ
Now, eat up, you have to get strong!
PEPE MENDOZA
(embarrassed)
It is delicious, mother!
Estrella seats herself next to Pepe and watches him eat.
