- INTERVIEW WITH EMILIA -

"What's the worst thing my parents say to me?" Emilia questions to the camera.

"Hmm.. probably 'you were supposed to be looking after your brother'. Like is it my fault that he used up all Jay's cologne? I don't think so." She answers.

- INTERVIEW ENDED -

"Come on! Let's go! Let's go!" Jay yells, standing behind the front door.

"We're coming." Emilia groans.

"Manny, it's inappropriate because she's your teacher." Mom tells Manny, leaving both Jay and Emilia confused on what they were gabbing about.

"What's the big deal, anyway?" Manny  asks, facing towards Jay.

"It's a surprise, you'll see." Jay replies, mom looks forward with her jaw dropped. Manny and I have a similar reaction.

"Oh, my god!" Manny exclaims.

"Jay, you didn't!" Mom yells out with him.

"Yes, I did. I got us into that new benihana." Jay smiles, locking the front door behind him.

"Huh?" My smile fades, now confused .

"They got a chef there That can flip a shrimp into his own hat." Jay laughs, before looking forward and seeing a large boat and a nice car, rolling into his driveway. "What the hell?"

We see a familiar person step out the car. "Dad!" Manny  yells as he runs towards him for a hug.

"There's my boy!" He laughs, hugging him back. 

I walk towards dad, with a small smile on my face. "It's good to see you, dad." I give him a small hug.

"It's good to see you too, mija." He smirks.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Jay stares at our dad with disgust.  

"Ay, Jay." Mom faces him, not looking too happy aswell.

"No, he was supposed to pick up those two yesterday,  and disappointed them again, as usual." He scoffed. "Now he just sails in here out of the blue?"

- INTERVIEW WITH JAY -

"I don't like the guy." Jay states.

"Do I have reasons? Yeah. Good reasons? Yeah." He explains. "How many reasons do I need? None. I don't like the guy."

- INTERVIEW ENDED -

"So, I would have called, But while I was buying this boat for a friend, I got chased out to sea by another boat y 'tiqui tiqui'" Dad explains himself.

"Were they pirates?" Manny asks, fascinated.

"Manny, he probably didn't have enough time to stop and ask." I sigh, looking at him.

"Well, It's not hard to tell." Jay point out. "Did they have curvy swords And sing songs about how fun it is to be a pirate?"

Dad just laughed and patted Jay on the back. "Wow. Jay, such a beautiful house, huh?"

"So, we were just headed out to dinner." Jay tells Dad, before getting interrupted.

"What, you think I show up empty-handed?" Dad laughs, grabbing something out of his bag. "I brought dinner -- lobsters!"

Manny looks at them with amazement. "Did you catch them with your bare hands?"

"No, but I bought them with my bare hands!" He smiles.

"Wow!" Manny says, still in admiration.

"And I have some nice wine, a good Cuban cigar for jay." He pulls the rest of his stuff out of his bag. "Hey, why don't you both take a picture of him with your new camera phone?"

"I don't have a new camera phone." I ask confused.

"I don't have any camera phone." Manny pouts.

"You both do now!" He pulls out two boxes , each containing a phone inside.

"Awesome!" Manny runs to him happily.

"Thanks dad, you're the best!" I chuckle.

"All this excitement, my heart is just going!" Manny yells out.

"Now, listen to me. You guys bring that with you when you come to visit me this summer." Dad requests. "We'll go in a racecar with my friend, And after that, maybe a bullfight. I know all these guys, the matadors- They are like artists."

"You're quite the bullfight artist yourself." Jay adds on.

"Uh.. Kids, Why don't you show your father to the kitchen?" Mom smiles.
