Hector Chavez, Dorotea Chavez, Geraldo Yamiliaz, Juanita Yamiliaz, and Emilio Chavez are sitting in the living room.

GERALDO YAMILIAZ
(confused)
Young people are different these days!

JUANITA CHAVEZ
They are and they need guidance and
everything we as their parents can
give them.

Juanita pads Emilio.

DOROTEA CHAVEZ
Your son seems to be raised properly,
Madam!

JUANITA CHAVEZ
We did everything to protect him from the
dangerous influences of society.

DOROTEA CHAVEZ
I'm sure your handsome son and my
daughter will get on well!

GERALDO YAMILIAZ
Can we see the bride?

JUANITA YAMILIAZ
Don't be rude, Geraldo! We are having a
nice conversation and are getting to know
each other!

HECTOR CHAVEZ
No, of course not, it is not rude!

DOROTEA CHAVEZ
I feel like we have been knowing each
other our entire lives. Camilla is looking
forward to this union.

JUANITA YAMILIAZ
The beauty of young people is that they
have a lot of plans and ideas. We shouldn't
shatter their dreams.

The entire room becomes silent. Emilio looks at his mother dumbfounded.

DOROTEA CHAVEZ
(embarrassed)
Camilla has traveled the world. She
went to school, went abroad. She has
only one dream to find a suitable husband,
with whom she can experience the
beauty of love.

HECTOR CHAVEZ
Camilla is a good girl, she knows her place!

GERALDO YAMILIAZ
(confused)
Everything changes! People change!

The room gets silent again.

JUANITA YAMILIAZ
(thoughtfully)
I met Camilla, she is such a decent
and good-hearted girl! That's the
kind of woman every mother
wants for her boy and the world
can't get enough of!

HECTOR CHAVEZ
We brought her up in the faith and
taught her to respect God, his Saints and
the Holy Spirit!

JUANITA YAMILIAZ
You did well! We are honored that your
daughter wants to marry Emilio.

DOROTEA CHAVEZ
I think it's time that we bring in Camilla!

HECTOR CHAVEZ
I will get her!

Hector Chavez leaves the living room.
