Original subtitles

- My dad,

he was always writing little stories

about the places we would see

and the things we would do next time we were together again.

That never happened.

We didn't even get to his funereal in time.

My mother, she seemed mad all the time,

but I think she was mostly sad.

- You are so much stronger than I am, from your dad.

- Something happened to her,

I don't know what, but something in her changed.

My little sister, she's a strong kid,

her imagination's pretty wild.

She thinks Dad's going to some place temporarily

and will be back soon.

She doesn't get it, it's best that way.

I didn't speak to him for years,

but I read all of his little stories.

Out of nowhere one day my mom called him

to tell him we were going to visit him.

He was so happy, so gracious to hear from us.

We planned our stay out there on the phone.

I wanted so badly to be with him again,

but we came late,

I'm sorry dad.

I don't know what's going to happen.

I'm just mad.

- Mick I know this isn't easy but it's only temporary.

- And how long's temporary going to be Mom?

- Listen I don't think right now

is the time to have this conversation again.

- Then when would be a good time Betty?

- I am so sick and tired of your attitude,

you are being so completely selfish right now.

- Mom!

- I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- What's wrong with Mom?

- Here we go.

♫ Sometimes feelings make no sense

♫ They confuse you, they betray

♫ They make you go insane

♫ Words only fail the test

♫ You might as well stay behind and hide what's left inside

♫ Run away, run away

♫ The sky is up in flames

♫ And hide your plane

♫ Run away, run away, heal the wounds of sorrow

♫ The waters will make it all okay

- I know you think this place

is some kind of a paradise, but to me,

it's a transition.

- Well what is it, it's, ?

- No it's,

- Ew man why are you touching me with them hands,

- And why are you laughing Migue?

- Dude because you can't sing worth shit,

- Shut up!

- Guys we should get out of here

before that lady calls the feds or something.

I've always thought I am more like you anyways.

Sunny,

deep breaths hold, hold on.

Breathe.

Good, breathe, why wouldn't you tell me huh?

- Where'd you pick this kid up Migue?

- The circus.

Let's go.

- Yep, and one day I'm going back.

- You're a piece of work kid.

So what's the skinny on San Juan?

- What's in San Juan?

- Nothing, don't worry about it okay?

- Are you gonna leave me, are you going to run away?

- Never, I'm not going anywhere.

I mean it still runs doesn't it?

Just give it a little TLC and you got it made.

- Whatever hula hoop boy.

Your motorcycle, that thing barely makes it across town.

- Leave him alone Juano.

- Shut up Sofia I don't need your help.

Why is she even here Juano,

she's been following us around like a frickin mosquito.

- Tell me about it man,

I would ditch her but she's my little sister

and my mom would kill me.

- Sofia, you're a girl, we're guys,

or did you not notice?

- No I didn't notice Charlie.

Common mistake I hear, people not knowing you're a guy.

- Shut up.

- Fine, you guys are idiots.

Maybe I will find other people to hang out with.

- Yeah like anybody would like to hang out with you.

- I'll even go hang out with surfer guys.

- You don't have the guts.

- I don't?

Watch me.

- Wait,

won't your mom be super pissed if you come home without her?

- Dude she's gonna come back,

she doesn't even dare go out there.

Sofia?

- What the hell are you doing here?

- Relax baby, relax. Hey pretty girl!

- Hi.

- Come with us, let's have fun.

- Okay.

- Hello, hello, hello, woo.

- Hello to you again.

Nice spot.

(talking drown out by music)

We own this beach.

- Really?

- Of course.

- I like it.

- Shit, shit shit shit shit, come on guys.

- This is dumb we gotta do this, this is stupid.

- Dude my mom is gonna kill me.

- Stupid.

- You should see us surf some time.

- Oh yeah that'll be badass. - Really.

- You know I beat you though?

- Are you guys gonna teach me?

- Yeah if you stick around,

I'm serious.

- Nice.

- You gotta do what you gotta do dude.

- No problem. - Go with us Sofia

and forget all about your bratty fucking brother.

- Yeah just sit with us.

- I'd like that.

- I know you will.

- Sofia.

Leave her alone.

- They're not bothering me Juano, you are.

- I can't believe you Sofia,

you're seriously hanging out with them,

after everything they've done to us?

- Hey she can hang out with whoever she wants bratty.

- Sofia let's go.

- You're the one that has to go, Annie.

- This is our beach punk.

Go find someone else's party to crash.

- Sofia come hang with me and the guys okay?

- Why?

These guys here are actually nice to me.

They actually want me around.

All you guys ever do is tell me to shut up.

- You heard her, she likes it here with us.

- And we definitely like her.

- You got that right.

- Sofia you're in so much trouble right now.

Leave before I tell Mom.

- These guys are assholes.

- Watch your mouth Annie.

- And get the hell out of our beach already.

- This isn't your island,

we're allowed to be here if we want to.

- Oh yeah? - Oh yeah, says who?

- Says my foot up your ass.

- Oh yeah, take him away, little cry baby.

- Let's go Sofia.

- Oh I'm gonna have to take her home.

- Mama!

- Gotta be careful with those girl, man.

He's so hooked right.

- You got that right man.

- It is always going to be this way

with those surfer dicks picking on us for no good reason?

- I hear you and it sucks but,

there are going to be dicks no matter where you go.

This place is not special.

(sighing)

- I know.

- See ya then.

- Until tomorrow.

- Here's the princess! I’m going to take a photo...

- You speak Spanish too fast Abuela.

- Yeah?

- What about Mom?

- Christmas is over for me.

- Don’t say that- we still have the 3 kings day coming.

- What did she say about Mom?

- Nothing, don't worry about it,

don't listen to these crazy people.

- Let’s go now or we’ll be late, change your ripped socks

- Your grandma and I hope you come to church with us.

- You actually look like a girl in this dress.

- Do not.

- Hey take it as a compliment little sis'

Okay.

Goodbye then.

Merry Christmas.

- Hello?

- Miguel is that my Miguel?

- Who else would it be?

Are you coming home to get us.

- Baby boy I'm just not sure--

- When are you coming home to get us Mom?

It's been four months since you dumped us here

at Dad's place in case you forgot.

- Your grandparents are far better caretakers

than I ever could be right now.

- You're coming home aren't you?

- Stop.

- You're so selfish you know that?

- You don't think I know that?

You think I'm just having the time of my life right now?

I will, I will come back.

- What about your promises Mom?

- I love you Miguel.

Tell Sunny, please take care of her for me.

- I always do.

- Miguel?

- We're almost there.

- And how long's temporary going to be Mom?

We're waiting.

- Fuck.

Fuck.

God dammit.

- Hey sexy legs ready for the last dare of the year?

- Holy shit man what happened to this thing?

It looks like you got in a fight with a truck and lost.

- I've got a fix it if I'm gonna go see Stella.

- Stella, you're still on that mission man?

Reality check, you're never gonna make it.

Just stop working with that piece of shit

and come hang out with us.

- Hey aren't you guys sick of these stupid dares yet?

- Aren't you sick of being annoying yet?

- You know I, I am kinda sick of these, kinda sick.

- You're not sick of anything man.

He loves this, he's just in a fuzz or something, come on--

- I said no Juano,

what the hell, can't you take a hint

and go play your stupid game somewhere else?

- Whatever man.

- Migue,

are you okay?

You know if you're not,

maybe you should do something about it.

- Nightmare?

- Yes.

- I'll protect you.

- You're a better mom anyway.

- Go to sleep Sunny.

- What's wrong?

- Just got a lot on my mind.

Girls are weird.

- Damn straight.

What's in San Juan?

- A concert, for new year's eve.

- But that's tomorrow.

- Remember what I said?

I'll never leave you.

- Can I help?

- You trying to get rid of me now?

- You help me all the time,

it's my turn to help you.

Just tell me what I need to do.

- If I think of something I'll let you know,

otherwise I want you to get some sleep okay?

- Okay?

I miss Mom.

- Sunny, Miguel. Help me!

- The pump is not working.

- We gotta go to the hospital Abuelo.

- We can’t go out - your grandma took the car.

We'll take your car come on.

- We can’t take my car- that is a piece of junk!

- Miguel!

It's okay Sunny, okay. There, dear...

- Abuelo hurry, come on!

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry Abuelo.

- Where did your brother go?

- I'm sorry Abuelo.

- Sunny, you are okay?

- He needed my help.

- Your help?

What for?

- He needs to go to San Juan.

- San Juan, that's 79 miles away,

in that car he never makes it.

He needs at least three hours, if he ever gets there.

- Stop it.

- You gonna wing it huh?!

- Come on stop for a sec, come over here.

- Stop, leave me alone.

- Sofia get in the car.

- You again?

Man when are you gonna learn

to stop messing with what ain't yours.

- Don't you remember the other night Annie?

Your girl likes it with us.

- Yeah what are you gonna do about it huh?

Whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa.

No need to get violent man it's just that,

what the?

Holy.

- Oh my god, oh my god man.

Oh my.

- So I guess I should take you home huh?

- Yeah I guess.

What are you doing driving your grandpa's car anyways?

Are you insane or something?

- You could say that.

- Must be for you to stop and help me.

- Why would I be insane to do that?

- So, what's the big adventure huh?

You must have something big planned

if you're driving this thing.

- I'm going to San Juan.

- For real?

You're going to go see that girl aren't you?

The hula hoop freak.

- Yes I am and I gotta get there before midnight.

- Okay, well then we should hurry

if we're gonna make it there on time.

- You're not going anywhere.

- Yes I am, I'll come in handy.

- You're a girl.

- And you're a boy so what?

Also I happen to know how to get to San Juan from here

and it doesn't look like you brought a map.

- I'm sure there'll be signs.

- Really, and what do they say?

Hula hoops freaks turn this way?

- You know what?

Forget it, you want to come, fine.

Unbelievable.

- My mom is gonna freak but whatever.

Juano gets into enough trouble for the both of us.

(clanging)

- This car is a piece of shit.

I hate this car.

- Yo kid.

Where's Migue?

I think Juano wants to beat him up for yesterday.

- Mick can't come out, he's in San Juan.

- What?

- You gotta be kidding me?

- Nope.

He went to a rock concert in San Juan.

- But his bike is still here and it's in pieces.

- He stole Abuelo's car.

- What? - What?

- It's true,

and I'm super grounded because of it.

- Sunny, did Mick really go to San Juan

or are you just kidding with us?

- He really did Charlie.

- Wow, he made it.

- Yeah he made it, fantastic, without us man.

- Whatever Juano, you don't even like hula hoop chicks.

- Whatever, I'm gonna go look for Sofia now okay.

Do you think she's with the surfer dudes or, I don't know.

- I don't know, you know little sisters better than I do.

- Dude, you're not coming with me?

- Nah I think I'll stay here.

- Want a candy?

- We have to stop.

- It's okay, no no no we're fine.

- Pull over.

It's so cold.

I love the rain.

- I hate the rain.

- You don't have to be so miserable

all the damn time you know?

- And what exactly is there to be happy about right now?

- Well we're on a spontaneous road trip

to San Juan for one thing

and you're about to get to see your hula hoop freak.

- She not a freak.

- Whatever.

- And we'll probably never get there on time

because of this frickin' weather.

- Give me your hand.

- What?

- I can read your palm.

You've got no faith Migeu,

and not a lot of confidence,

I bet that's why you're so miserable all the time.

You don't believe in yourself and it's so strange

because everyone else believes in you.

I know I do.

- Well, we're never going to get there on time

if this weather doesn't clear up,

that's not a lack of confidence that's a fact.

- You're soaking wet.

- Yeah I guess I am.

- Hey speaking of,

what were you doing by my house a couple nights ago?

It was Christmas.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- Really?

I gotta get my eyes checked

because I could've sworn it was you.

- I guess you should.

- I, I thought it was you.

Don't you want to call your mom or something?

- I will, when we get there.

She can't forbid me from doing something

I've already done can she?

- That's pretty smart.

- Well I'm not always the annoying little sister.

- I guess not.

- Hey I don't think this rain's gonna let up anytime soon.

So what the hell?

It's not like we're made of paper right?

Come on let's go.

(whooping)

- Sorry nevermind, it was stupid.

- No come on, what's your new year's resolution?

- I'm gonna stop following you guys around.

I'm sick of being the annoying mosquito.

- You're not.

I was a frickin jerk that day and I apologize.

Just out of curiosity why do you follow us around?

- I don't know, I guess I just don't fit in anywhere else.

- You fit with those surfers fine.

- To be honest I was just doing that to piss off Juano.

- Yeah I get that.

There's a sign right there Sofia.

How do you feel about that Ms. Know it All?

- What the hell?

They really have a sign.

So?

You going in or what?

- The show's probably sold out.

- So?

- So this is far as my plan went.

- Well you'll figure something out.

- Don't you mean we'll figure something out?

(distant music)

- I should probably just stay here.

- Why?

- Because I don't care about the stupid show and you do.

I just,

I don't want to get in the way.

- You won't get in the way.

I promise.

I want you to come.

- Thanks, but--

- But?

- I'll still be right here when you're done.

(distant music)

- Okay.

Fine, I'm going.

- Go.

- Serious, last chance.

- Would you just go already before the show ends?

- Goodbye. - Bye.

(sighing)

- Oh no not on my watch.

- Nice, jackpot.

Yes.

This bites.

New year's eve stuck in the middle of San Juan

completely by myself.

Brilliant Sofia.

Score, the old man's booze.

I didn't know the old man had it in him.

I am so sorry.

- Have we been drinking tonight young lady?

- No no no, no no, I,

I just, I swallowed a fly and I'm spitting it out.

- Where are you parents?

- Checking in.

- Excuse me, sorry excuse me.

Officer, officer can you watch Mary Jane for me?

She's my pet and she gets nervous and there's this party.

Are you going to the party?

That we're going to go dancing

and if you can stay with her just for a little.

- Only five minutes until the new year.

♫ The sky is all in flames

- Papa can you hear me?

Because of you I'm here.

As stupid as this journey seems,

in my gut I knew, one step closer to you,

I chose right, on my own.

I love you.

- Hey, hey hey hey. Wait, wait.

English or Spanish?

- English. - English,

- It's showtime. - Four, three, two, one.

- Happy new year Migue.

- Happy new year Sofia.

- Your face is covered in glitter hula boy.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

(groaning)

- Thank you for that.

- We should probably get out of here.

- Yeah, yeah we should probably go.

- Thanks for coming today Sofia.

- Sure.

- Hey.

- Yeah?

- Give me a kiss on the cheek.

- What?

- Come on give me a kiss on the cheek.

- Mick you are so weird.

- For new year's luck, come on,

- You are in so much trouble.

Oh you're in trouble.
