* Why did you have
to get near?

* Why did you have
to speak out?

* Why didn't you ever think

* What you could do to me

* And if you did,
did it take

* You a little while

* Did you say

* It wasn't good enough?

* They were not true enough?

* I'm sure
you clearly could see

* You take your life
in your hands

* The people
raise up their arms

* Their vision
makes them strong

* Maybe things I told you

* To keep your memory new

* But you're alive
in the mind

* So many
who look up to you

* Some walk in a daydream

* Some move their head

* Like shooting stars
forever in our minds

* Forever in our hearts

* Forever in our sight

* Forever in our life

* Hoo, ooh

* Hoo, ooh

* Hoo, ooh

This is the last
of them.

Damn, that's
a lot of books.

Sure you want
to do this, Ben?

I mean, I feel
really guilty here.

Yeah, I'm going
to get them
back someday.

Damn. Look at that,
the first Gambit.

BEN:
Yep. Classic.

Shit. Hulk 181? X-men 94?

Dude, this is some
collection you got, Ben.

It's the biggest one
I've ever bought.

Yeah, you sold me
most of them.

Yeah, I guess
you're right about that.
So this is it, huh?

Yeah. This puts me
over the top. Thanks.

Well,
here you go, kiddo.

Fuck!

I could buy a nice car
for that, Pop.

It's called
a savings account, Doug.

Thanks, Dave.

Hey, listen, just don't
forget us when you're rich
and famous, all right?

BEN:
Sure, Dave.

DOUG:
See you tonight, Pop.

Ben,

congratulations.

You know how much damage
you can do with that thing?

Yeah,
about $6,000 worth.

Vegas, Ben!
Rick'll drive. All on black.

Hey, what's up?
Hey, Chris.

Ok, hang on a second.
Hey, Ben.

Hey, Jennifer.
What's that?

This? Oh, it's nothing.
It's just my final project.

For Harper's class?
Yeah.

Can I see it?

Oh, it's good.

Stop it.

No, really.

Your use of the light
and the shading...
It's beautiful.

Really?

(CAR HORN HONKS)

SUSAN:
Jennifer!

Hold on.

Got to go.

Yeah, I can tell.

You're going to be
at Sheldon's party,
though, right?

Oh, yeah,
of course.

Good.

I'll see you there.

Dude, she is on your nuts
like a squirrel.

BEN:
When is, um,
Sheldon's party?

DOUG:
Tomorrow, why?

Tomorrow night?
My sister's birthday's
tomorrow night.

Oh, come on, Ben,
help me out, man.
You want cake and ice cream

or 10 kegs with
Jennifer Conrad
in a miniskirt?

Shit!

You're going to Sheldon's,
end of story.

Doug, my family's been
planning this a long time.

My uncle shelled out
much money,
I got family flying in.

What, you want me
to skip it?

Yeah, why not?

What is this?

It's for you,
what do you think?

For real?

Yeah, it's just
a little something
to mark the occasion.

You like it?
Yes. I need this.

Well, go ahead, open it.

Rick's idea?

Uh-huh.

Where is he?

Detention. Again.

He'll be here.

* Strum, strum
my fuckin' guitar

* This shit solves nothing

* Strum, strum
my fuckin' guitar

* This shit solves nothing

BEN:
Thanks for the ride, guys.

DOUG:
No, yo, Ben. Wait up, man.
I got to take a leak.

Why didn't you
go at the mall?

I didn't have
to go then.

Can't you wait?

Dude, I'm going
to explode, man.

RICK AND DOUG:
What?

All right.
Come on, just hurry up.

All right, fine.

(CUTLERY RATTLING)

What's going on?
Sounds like a party.

Don't you have
something to do?

So this is
the Mercado house.

RICK: Damn, dude,
what's that smell?

Look, I'll be back
in one second.

Making me hungry again.

(GIRL LAUGHING)

Hoy, the next doctor
of the Mercado family.

Where have you been,
Ruben?

Hi, Tito Lenny.

Mom, can we turn on the fan?
The house smells.

(SNICKERS)

Hey, bro,
what are you doing?

Check this out.

Hi. Is that
wicked or what?

Dong, dong, dong.

Hoy, you know
what time it is?

Hanging around with
your friends again,
wasting time.

Get clean.
Help your mother
with the food.

Yeah, whatever.

Hi.

Hi, there.

And who is this?

Some friends from school.
They had to use the bathroom.
Come on, guys, let's go.

What are your names?
I've never seen you before.

Uh, this is Doug
and this is Rick.

Oh, hi.
Hi.

So you go to school
with Ben?

Yeah, we're
really good friends.

Then you should
come by more often.

We never get
to see Ben's friends.

Oh, Ben never invites us,
that's why.

Are you guys hungry?
We have plenty to eat.
Florie, get them some...

Oh, no, Mom, they just ate.
Guys, come on, let's go.

GINA:
Come on, boys.
Get some food.

You guys must get some
really big portions here,
dude.

Hoy, Ruben, don't be rude.

Yeah, bro, we have
time for a bite.

GINA:
Give them something to take.

Don't your parents
feed you?

Where do I get
one of those
naked barrel dudes?

Try wal-mart. Bye.
Dude, wait! No...

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

JUN:
Can we take a break now?

ROSE: No.

You got to put your
hand up like this.

Okay, four... Four counts
and then turn, guys.

Hey, Roland.
Come on, join in.

For old time's sake.

(LAUGHS)

* I shouldn't have
to tell them

* Why I'm not

ROLAND:
Ben.

Ruben!

Ruben,
what are you doing?

Don't you ever knock?

What?

Pop, do you mind?
I'm trying to get
some work done.

You lazy child.

I told you half an hour ago
to go up there and help your
mother with the food.

I'll be there
in a minute, Pop.

You know everybody's
working so hard
for your sister's party,

and you, you go
gallivanting around...

I wasn't gallivanting.
I was working.

God damn it,
are you listening to me?

Stop it with those
stupid pictures of yours!

(MUTTERING)
Fuck this shit.

What?

Hey!

BEN:
Let go! God!

You'll ruin...
You're wrecking it. Let go!

ROLAND:
Give me that!

What are you doing?

Give me that.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Everybody can
hear you, you know?

Goddamn
disrespectful child!

Every time
like this, Ben.

(GINA SPEAKING TAGALOG)

ROLAND: Ever since
he was a little boy
you've spoiled him.

Enjoyed the show
last night.

Could you have chilled
for just one night?

Listen, Ben, I know
that you think
all this is stupid,

but you could've
avoided that whole thing
with pop,

if you'd just helped out
a little.

Why don't you
just not go today?

Maybe I won't.

All I'm gonna see anyway
is a bunch of punks
giving me attitude

and aunties
with orange hair,

bugging me to see
if I got a girlfriend or not.

I don't need that shit.

You know, I can't wait for
you to leave for U.C.L.A.,

'cause I'm sick of dealing
with your stupid shit.

I'm going to CalArts.

Yeah, and then
you woke up.

I'm serious.

I went down there last Friday
and I paid off
my first year's tuition.

You don't have
that kind of money.

I don't now.

I dumped
all my savings into it,

and I even sold
most of my comics.

You did it?

I am penniless,
but I am enrolled.

(GINA SPEAKING TAGALOG)

It's going to be okay.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Relax.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Just kidding.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Gina.

You only make it worse
if you keep worrying.

Yeah. You look good.

(SIGHS)

I look old.

Come on, Ben. Come on.

I'm going to take you out.
No. Here I come, Ben.

I'm going to take you out.

Here I come.

That's how
you make a basket.

Come on, you've got
to come for the ball.

You know
who I am, right?

I know who you are.

Mom should have
called me Hiroshima, Ben.

You know why?
'Cause I'm the bomb.

(ROSE GRUNTS)

Yes!

I am the champion.

I am the...

(LAUGHING)

I'm going to take
this ball away from you.

Hoy, what are you
two doing out here?

You're going
to be late.

Sorry, Tita,
we're almost done.

Game!

Thank you very much.

No fair.
I wasn't even
paying attention.

Tough shit.
I do believe you owe me
the car this weekend.

So are you down
for my party, or what?

Yeah, all right.

FLORIE: Come inside now.
You're going to get too dark.

* When I say, yeah

* Lord have mercy, yeah

* Whoa

(INAUDIBLE)

* Hey, party people,
don't worry

* 'cause a time
will come for us, oh, yeah

* People, are you ready?

* To stand for real steady

* People, are you ready?

* 'cause we're talkin'
about love, love, love

* Love, love, love

* For each and everyone

* Yeah

* For each and everyone

* Only together

Lenny,
what are you doing? Go.

* A peaceful solution's
what we're talkin' about

GINA:
Thank you, Florie.

* Come back together
for future generations

* So, people, let's overcome

* The righteous way,
a life where people
stand up strong *

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALL CHATTERING)

Hi!

Rosemarie,
happy, happy birthday.

You look
so beautiful!

Oh, thank you.

Do you remember
my husband, George?

Hello.
Happy birthday.
Mabuhay.

ROSE: Thanks.

Who is this?

Alice, you remember Ben,
my youngest.

Oh!

You're so
guapo, guapo, naman.

You're so handsome.

Do you have
a girlfriend already?

Uh, no.

Well, aren't you going
to give me a kiss?

Mmm.

(GIGGLES)

Okay, you're going to
dance with me later, okay?

Promise?
Oh, yeah. Anything.

Talaga, huh.

Ben, you remember my son,
your old friend, Augusto?

Oh, he brought
his friends along.
I hope you don't mind.

GINA:
It's okay, Alice.

Say hello
to your old playmate.

Ma! Ma!

Say hi, you rude boy.

What's up?

Gusto.

Ha! These kids.
So strange.

"What's up."

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

You know,
Gina tells me he's impotent.

Impotent?

Ben, your grandfather.

Kids, your Lolo Carlos.

Hello, hello.

My goodness.

Look at you two kids.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

LENNY:
Pa, this is Gina.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

LENNY:
Pop, you might want
to sit down.

* Oh, yeah

* Oh

* Oh, yeah

* Come on, come on

* Come on, come on

* Ooh

* Yeah

* Oh

* I saw you walkin' down

CONNIE:
Ah, thank you.
Hoy, Roland. Ben.

I want to take your
picture with Lolo Carlos.

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

Closer.

Now, smile.

Come on, you guys look
like statues. Smile.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

That's a good one.

Give it to me, Mom.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

These kids today
don't have the discipline
to learn Tagalog. Look at Jun.

All he does is
gallivanting around

with his friends
and go disco-disco.

Yeah, see, I told you.
Mom's a player-hater.

(ALL LAUGH)

I hear it's
a very good hospital.

Oh, when Florie
started at the hospital,
there were hardly any,

now almost half
the hospital's nursing staff
is Oriental.

You really should say Asian.
Oriental is a very
touchy word today.

The proper term
to use is "Asian"

when you're referring
to people from the far east.

I didn't know that.
How interesting.

Not so small, honey.

Anyway, now we have Orientals,
Filipinos, Mexicans, blacks...

It's funny though,
because Filipinos
aren't actually considered

a part of the Asian race,
they're part
of the Malay race.

ALICE:
You're so smart, honey.

LOLO: So, Ruben,
when did you decide

to follow your
Tito Lenny's footsteps
and become a doctor?

Yeah, when was this, Ben?

I always knew
Ben would get
into medicine.

I remember
when he was little,

he'd come home
with injured birds
and nurse them back to health.

This scholarship to U.C.L.A.
is a big accomplishment, Ben.

Remember, Pa,
I told you about it.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Very good.
You're a hard worker, Ruben.

You know, Papa,
he has also a full-time job.

Jun should learn
to be more like him.

(FILIPINO ACCENT)
Sorry, I'm too busy
going disco-disco.

LOLO:
What is this job?

Oh, um,

I work at a bookstore
after school and weekends.

Doesn't that interfere
with your studies?

No, it's cool.

I mean, I got to make
money somehow, right?

(SMIRKS)

CONNIE:
Ben, didn't you want to go
to some art program before?

Oh, yeah.

No, not anymore.

We decided that wasn't
a good route for him.

By the way, Ben,
I talked to this
colleague of mine.

He's willing to bring
you on at the front desk

of the pediatric ward
over the summer.

Another doctor will make
the family very proud.

Excuse me.

GUSTO:
So you trying
to avoid me now?

ANNABELLE:
Gusto, look.

Been blowing up
your pager every day.
What's up?

You know what? Here.

Take your pager
and stop bothering me!

So it's going to be
like that now.

Look, you're the one
who fucked up!

So don't you even
turn this shit around on me!

Come on, baby,
take it.

I don't want it.

Take it.
You know how much
I paid for this thing.

Gusto, come on now,
I don't want that thing.

Come on, baby,
take it.

I said I don't want it!

Fuck you, then!

God damn it, Gusto!

Excuse me.

My sister's
looking for you.

Oh!

Yeah, right.

She needs the schedule.

Yeah.

(PANTING)

I got to go.

Hey, what was
that all about?

You're just a bunch of dogs,
all of you!

Pleased to meet you also.

I'm sorry. I...

I didn't mean that.

(SIGHS)

Hi, I'm Annabelle.

Yeah, I've seen you
hanging out with Rose.
I'm Ben.

I know. Um, your sister's
told me a lot about you.

* Tell me

Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah.

* For you

Well, anyway, um, thanks
for helping me out there.

* About you

I'd better go get
that schedule to Rose.

* You

Um, uh,
I'll see you later.

* What's on your mind

* I'm so confused about

* This whole situation

* This situation

* Oh, what am I to do?

* I'm so into you

I'm not some trophy
you can just go...

Parading around
in front of your
whole family.

What are you
talking about?

We're just proud of you,
that's all.

Be proud of
someone else.

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

I'm not going
to be a doctor.

I don't believe
this hardheaded child.

Ruben,
we've settled this already.

We haven't
settled anything.

That cartoon school of yours
is a waste of time and money.

No. Med school
is a waste of
time and money.

Now, don't answer back!

I'm not going to spend
$25,000 a year

so you can just go on
drawing those
stupid pictures of yours.

Who asked you to?

You think
you're so smart, huh?

Spoiled,
that's what you are.

Spoiled? Me?

Yes, you're spoiled!
I've given you everything.

You don't know what it's like
not to have all these things.

Yeah, so?
So I do!

I gave up my life making sure
you don't go through
what I did.

And I'm not going to let you
throw that away.

Just what the hell
do you think you're going
to do in the real world

with a degree in cartoons?
Tell me.

I'm going to get
the hell away from you.
That's what.

Thank you so much
for coming, Tito.

I wasn't sure
if you were going
to be able to make it,

but I'm glad
you could come.

And you guys got
me a present, too?
Thank you both.

(WOMAN SPEAKING TAGALOG)

(TITO SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Will you excuse me
for just one second?
Thank you.

I'll be right
in front of the gym.

No, I will not flake.

Look, just pick me up,
all right? Yeah, later.

What are you doing?

What's it look like?

So you're just
going to leave?

Look,
I got better things to do.

That's your family
in there, Ben.

You actually
think you're better
than all of us, huh?

Just 'cause you hang out
with white boys and want
to study art in college,

you think you're the shit?
Am I right?

So what?

Wake up, little brother.

'Cause you know what,
you're just as
brown as the rest of us.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

...and see what's up, okay?

See, I told you

to just have the party
at Chuck E. Cheese...

WOMAN:
So, you're going to...

There you are, Papa,
I've been looking
all over for you.

Um, 'cause, um,

Tito Dante's not back yet.

He's just on Filipino time.

Bet you he'll say
he lost his keys again.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Sure.

Don't tell your mom.

(CAR ENGINE REVVING)

(SIGHS)

These kids of today,
they've got
nicer cars than me.

You know, Rose...

I'm not like
your Tito Lenny

or most of
the parents out there.

Yeah?

You got to go to work.
Go to school.

(SMIRKS)

Can't even afford
to buy you a decent car.

Papa, you know that
doesn't matter to me.

Can't even afford
a nice debut for you.

I didn't even want
a debutante ball.
This party's more than enough.

God!

I wish your lola was alive.

She'd be so proud

to have a granddaughter
as beautiful as you.

Hey, uh, I'm sorry I'm late.
I misplaced my keys.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Eh, let's do this!

(ALL SCREAMING)

Come on, are you cool?
You ready?

You go, pinay!

Um...

Um...

Hello and good evening.

Uh, my name is
Annabelle Manalo,
and I'm a friend of Rose's.

Um,

coming up next, we have
a special performance
by the birthday girl

and some of our friends.

We've been working on this

and I think that we came up
with something really nice.

So, please take a seat,

because you definitely
do not want to miss this.

It's my sister's
birthday-dance thing.

Hey, looks like those, uh,
Mexican dances my cousins do.

Who's the belle
in the purple?

That's my sister.

Really?

(WHISTLES)

She's pretty cute.

Are we going?

Wait up a bit.
Let's check this out.

(ALL APPLAUDING)

Yeah! Whoo!

(PERFORMERS CHEERING)

How come you
weren't out there, dude?
That shit was cool.

Oh, wait, let me guess.
You had to work.

(LAUGHING)

Dude works more than
a Jamaican and shit.

GINA:
Hoy, I didn't know
you two were here.

Hi, Mrs. Mercado.

We just, we came to...
to pick up, um...

Uh, we came to eat.

Oh, that's good.
Now you'll have the chance
to taste my cooking. Come.

Come.

You guys are so skinny.
Don't your parents feed you?

Well, you know, that's...

(MUSIC PLAYING)

DOUG:
This is some good stuff.

Yeah, this is
some tasty feed, Ben.

Especially
this chocolate meat stuff.

No wonder you got
those big forks and spoons.

Told you
he's here.

Yo, Ben.
Why you chilling over here?

Oh, I'm just observing
how I don't want to be
when I get older.

Hey, congratulations
on the dance.

I really liked
the way you did the, um...

The...

I mean, I didn't know
you were in charge.

Oh, that wasn't all me.
I mean, your sister
helped a lot, too. So...

Jun.

Oh, hey, this is my friend,
Doug. This is Rick.

This is Ed,
Jun, and Annabelle.

Hi!

You know, we're all
hanging outside until
the real music gets back on.

Why don't you guys
come on out?

Cool.

Oh, I don't know.
I think we got to go
pretty soon.

Go? But the party's
just starting.

I know,
but we got another party
to go to, right, guys?

We still got time.

Yeah.

I know, but we don't, like,
you know, know anybody.

Come on, now.

It's just us guys
from the party.

And Rose's crew from school.
What are you talking about?

Come on, Ben.
Just hang out for a while.
It'll be fun.

Bitches bust

Bro! Who's got next?

(GIRLS HOOTING)

You guys, check it out!

Looks like something's
going on over there.

Oh, my God!
What is this?

Your brother is hella
getting his mack on.

We used to be real tight.
We used to hang out
all the time.

It all changed when
high school started.

Gusto wanted me
to join a gang called
barracuda or something.

Barkada. It's Tagalog.
It means, like, the people
you hang out with.

Like your friends.

They didn't seem
too friendly to me.

You speak Tagalog?

(FILIPINO ACCENT)
"Oh, oh, pluently."

That's wild.

(SCOFFS)

Anyway, um,
he wanted me to join.

And I don't know about you,

but beating somebody up
because they look
at you funny

isn't my thing.

So he gave me
this big guilt trip

and then we ended up
not talking anymore.

And then his dad died
and he and his mom
moved away.

Yeah, he never talks
about his father.

That's funny
how you and Augusto
are together.

Actually, we're not
really together anymore.

I mean, your sister
finally made me realize

that he is just
a two-timing player

and he's just
never going to change.

Gusto?
Yeah.

A player.
Uh-huh.

That guy over there?

Yeah.
That guy over there.

Get out of here!
When we were kids,
the only playing he used to do

was with his Nintendo.

I remember
when we first met,

he busted out
with all the moves.

I still remember
the first thing
he ever said to me,

"uh, excuse me,

"but, uh, do you know
where I can find
the nearest baker?

"'Cause, uh, I want to find
a cutie-pie just like you."

Ugh.

You think that's funny?

My friend Rick,
he likes to flirt
by comparing hand sizes.

Oh, really? Like how?

"Wow! Your hands
are really small."

Wow! Really?

Yeah, look.

And you wait for
the perfect moment,

when you're looking
into each other's eyes.
And then...

That was smooth.

(LAUGHS)

CAR GUY: Try not
to touch anything.

So, check it out, man.

I installed a brand-new cam,
bored-out throttle body,

it's got 25 more horses
right here.

Shit's got crazy pull, baby.

You squeezin'?

You mean nitrous?

Fuck, no, man,
this is straight throttle.

I hear you.
Who did all this for you?

My boys over
at Flux Motoring
hooked me up.

Hey, man, how much
did this cost,

you know, with...
With the bodywork and all?

About $6,000.

BOTH:
$6,000!

It's cool, though.
'cause the parents
paid for all of it.

Hey, you know
how we do it.

I can't believe you guys.

You're just 2 more Filipinos
selling out to the man.

What?

Oh, no.

You're just another
brown brother and sister

playing into the hands
of the car conspiracy.

What the fuck are
you talking about?

Car conspiracy?

You see, the conspiracy
is a plan by the man

to distract us
from the problems

of our brown brothers
and sisters around the world.

They're happy
we people of color
are wasting our time

changing our mufflers
and lowering our cars.

They don't want us
to learn about the war

the Philippines
had with the United States.

Or how Mexican
and Filipino-Americans

fought side by side
to unionize farm labor.

Yes, it's true.
You guys were
just too busy

adjusting your carburetors
and intake valves.

Oh, I know.
What about back rubs?

Oh, my God.
That is so old.

Yeah, but it's a classic.

Here. I mean,
you must be really tired

from all that choreography.

Okay.

(GIGGLING)

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

Give me that. Uh!

Yo, point game.
Hit me on the wing, baby.

Gusto, look at that shit.
Bitch-ass punk got some balls.

* Okay...

Motherfucker.

Boy wants
a foot up in his ass.

We should rush up
his shit right now.

Why? He's just
talking to her.

Nestor, that ain't
no talk action.

You need to claim
that bitch back

like a motherfucking
caveman and shit.

* I'll battle anybody

They don't want you to know
about the Filipino veterans

who fought for America
against the Japanese

and never
received any benefits.

These same Japanese
that slaughtered

thousands of our people
during World War II,

and are now building
these cars you're driving.

Why do you want to make
your car go faster, anyways?

You think you're gonna
compete in the Daytona 500?

When have you ever seen
a Filipino in the Daytona 500?

Uh,

never.

Never.

And you never will.
You know why?

'Cause you're brown.

That's deep.

Wow!

(SIGHS)

* Yeah

Uh! What!

Game.

Yeah!

Show them what's up.
Who got next?

* Some nervous tendency

If you weren't
so pretty and all,

we'd let you
ball with us.

Golly, Edwin,
you're so thoughtful.

Hey, yo, kuya,
I can't get anyone.

Damn.

* Look in the mirror

(MEN CHATTERING)

Yo, Ben,
we need a third.

Ed.

Come on! Be just like
old times. Remember?

Yo, can we get some
real ballers up in here?

Looks like someone
doesn't want
to get taken to court.

Yo, you still
got game, Ruben?

Uh!

(CROWD CHATTERING)

Uh!

Yeah! Uh!

Yo, flagrant foul.
What the hell was that?

You got a problem
with that, nigga?

Yes, I do, Pinoy.

It's cool. Let's go.
Let's play ball.

Preppy-ass motherfucker.

Oh, yo, it's jungle ball.
We'll take them
out on the court.

Ha!

Wow! Weren't
you impressed?

Yeah, very.

Yo, Ben,
don't take that shit.

Yeah, Ben.
Win it for Annabelle.

Oops!

(CROWD CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

(INAUDIBLE)

Dude, chill out.

EDWIN:
Go! Go! go!

Go! Take it up!
Take it up!

(YELLING)

(CHEERING)

That's my brother!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

What's the score?

Game point. 6-6.

Come on, you guys,
come on!

Come on, pussy.
Aw, come on, pussy!

Get off me!

Let's go, punk.

Is that all you can say?

Go, bitch.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Don't even think
you could bust
on me, white boy.

(CROWD EXCLAIMS)

Yeah, nigga, what?

This is my world.
Bow down, bitch.

Yeah, you know who daddy is.
Suck on these, bitch.

(SCOFFING)

Don't worry about it,
guys. Come on.

Let's go have
a good time. Come on.

Go back and dance.

(ALL LAUGHING)

JUN: Damn, we could've
schooled those punks.

I can't believe
you lost that handle.

Man, don't
listen to him.

Ben, it's a little-known fact
that pound for pound,

Filipinos are
the best basketball players
in the world.

Yeah, we're all 5'6".

So what?

Look at Mugsy Bogues.
He's Filipino.

He just
doesn't know it.

That nose of his
is straight up
mountain province.

Yeah, brother's
from the motherland.

Oh, man, that was tight.
You guys played a great game.

Aw, thanks, man.

I think we got
to get going.

EDWIN:
Ah, serious?

RICK:
Ah, yeah, we got to get
to the other party.

All right then.
Check you guys later.

It was nice meeting you.
Same here.

And happy birthday.

Thanks. Um, I'll see
you guys soon, okay?

I'll see you
inside, Ben.

Yeah. I'll be
there in a minute.

* Cultivate your nation
for a pure plantation

Dude, man,
are you all right?

Relax, man.

You'll forget the whole thing
when we get to Sheldon's.

You still want
to go, right?

DOUG: Bro, if you want,
we can wait. It's up to you.

* I'm on top of the world
and started up
from the beginning

* Asiatic, and blazin'
microphones' a habit

* You know I get
down and dirty

* When it's time to set it

Let's go get fucked up.

(LAUGHS)

Gusto, get your arm
off me.

Yo, it looks like that
chump can't hang.

Now what is
wrong with you?

Why do you have
to be such an asshole
all the time?

Baby, come on,
why are you tripping?

I'm not your babe, okay?

Just get the hell
away from me.

Stupid.

(HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING)

After we get
a couple of beers in you,
you'll be all good.

We've been waiting
for this party all week.

He'd better be
out here, Ed.

DOUG:
I got my brother's
fake I.D., man.

Let's run
by the liquor store.

RICK:
Right on.

* Just another one to kill

* Just another...

Rose. Rose!

Dude, let's get
some Boone's.

Yeah, man,
that shit fucks you up.

Boone's farm,
baby. Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

All right!

Whoo! Whoo!

(ALL CHATTERING)

DOUG:
What's up, boys?

* You can start this shit up

Thank you.

SUSIE:
Fuck these lame questions.
Let's get to the juicy stuff.

Oh, what would that be?

You know.
Here, I'll start you off.

"I never had sex."

SUSIE: Oh, come on now,
who's green?

Hey, I better not be
the only one
drinking around here.

All right, then.

How about,
"I never masturbated."

Oh, come on.

That's bullshit.
I know all of you do it.

I don't.

SUSIE:
Yeah, right.

Really, guys?

Oh, wow.
(LAUGHING)

Come on, Doug.

Can't lie, bro.

Douglas!
Douglas!

Come on now.

Okay. Okay.

Sorry, dude,
we were just kidding.

Fuck you, man.

RICK: So what is it,
an everyday thing for you?

Baywatch Nights,
right, huh?

Doug, no more
handshakes for you.

Let me see those
hairs on your palms.

Fuck you guys!

Okay, next question.
Okay. Okay. Okay.

I got a nasty
one for the girls.

How about,
"I never swallow"?

* Gotta get up, y'all

Yes, ma'am.

So, Susie, got any plans
for tomorrow night?

Oh, fuck you, dweeb.

I'm free after 7:00.

I'll take
the afternoon.

All right, then.
I've got one for you.

"I never...ate a dog."

(LAUGHING)

Oh, I'm sorry.

"I never...

"Ate a cat!"

(LAUGHING)

Hey, that's not cool.

SUSIE:
All those Orientals do it.

Susie, come on.
That's mean.

DOUG: Yeah.
Ben's not like that.

RICK:
Maybe you should
mellow on that stuff.

SUSIE:
What are you,
my daddy?

JENNIFER:
Susie, come on.

Come on.
Can I try that?

No, you can't.

Look, let me
hold that for you.

Let go! Let go!

Fuck! Look what you did.

Look at me. I'm soaked,
you fucking chink.

I'm not Chinese.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Come on, Susie,
let's go.

Shit.

You okay?

* It blows my mind

(YELLING)

(ALL WHOOPING)

(CHATTERING)

(SIGHS)

Man, we should
have never come here.

Fuckin' Rick.

"Dude,
it's gonna be a rager!"

"Rager".

How many people you know
still use that word?

Forget it, Ben.
She was all fucked up.

She didn't know
what she was saying.

Yeah, she did.

So, you up for some
cake and ice cream?

Yeah.

GIRLS:
* Happy birthday to you

So, what do you think?

This is too sweet.

* On this day for you

* We want
to celebrate on your day

You know, Dan,

I think it's time
for us to hear a song.

* Happy birthday

You knew that they
were gonna do this,
didn't you?

Rose, they were practicing,
at your house. Hello?

(ALL CLAPPING)

Happy birthday, Rose.

May all
your wishes come true.

TOGETHER:
We love you.

(GIGGLING)

All right,
ladies and gentlemen.

Up next,
we have a special treat
for all of you.

The father
of the birthday girl

is gonna sing a song
for all of us.

Accompanying Roland
are his old band mates
from the Philippines.

So, everyone,
take your seats

'cause you're not gonna
want to miss this.

(WHISPERING)

Um,

hi, everyone.

Um,

it's...it's been a long time
since I...I've done this,

so I hope
you'll bear with me.

This song goes out
for the two loveliest
women in my life:

my wife, Gina,

and my daughter, Rose.

This is too much, Mom.

(GUITARS PLAYING)

He looks
nervous up there.

(SINGING IN TAGALOG)

(LAUGHS)

Your dad can sing.

Pretty cool.

(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(LAUGHING)

That's so great.

(CHEERING)

Word up, pimpin'.

I don't know
what the hell he said,
but your dad's the bomb.

(AUDIENCE WHISTLING)

MAN: Whoo!

MAN:
Whoo! Whoo!

Yo, Ben, do all Filipinos
party like this?

Yeah, make us Mexicans
look Amish and shit.

So, whatever
happened to his band?

Well, uh, you know
how it is in that business.

Very difficult,
same as here.

But then, some more
important things
came up, huh, Ben?

When Ben's
mom and dad had him,

he gave it up

and he brought them all here
to the United States.

WOMAN:
Thank you.

Thank you.

D.J.: So, is there
anybody else out there
with a dedication for Rose?

Well, I guess that's it.

That was so cute.

Oh, my God,
I'm so embarrassed.

Rose.

Yo, yo, yo, yo,
the bitch is back.

Motherfucker.

Hey, would you please
pass the vinegar?

Um, hi.

Oh, for those of you
who don't know me,
I'm Ben, Rose's brother,

and I don't have
any long speeches
prepared or anything.

I guess I just wanted to say
I'm sorry, Rose.

I really am sorry
for not being there

for you these past
couple of months.

I mean, you're
the coolest sis
a guy could have

and you deserve better.

Uh, yeah. Um,

that's all.

Happy birthday, Rose.

(ALL CLAPPING)

All right, you guys,
right about now,
it's time to set things off.

Representing on the ones and
twos, my homeboy, D.J. E-Man

and I'm Icy Ice on the M-I-C.

Let's see you all
grab a partner
and get up and dance.

He's cute? I can't
believe you said that.

Are we going to go groove,
girls? Come on.

You guys can go ahead,
I'm just gonna
chill for a little.

Come on, Anna. Hey,
why don't you go ask Ben
to dance with you?

A sketch?

She'll dig it.

Yeah, right,
with Gusto here?

Hello, aren't you, like,
not with him anymore?

Rose, he might get mad.

Mad? Excuse me,
um, remember what
he's done to you?

He doesn't own you.

* Come and take me up

Ben, come over here.
Come here.

Hey, bro. Huge.

Hey.

I think Annabelle wants you
to ask her to dance.

Come here. No.
Come here.

What are you doing?

What? What are you
looking at me for? Go.

Come on.
Come on, now.

Come on.

(ALL GOADING)

Go.

Come on.

(ALL LAUGHING)

MAN:
Oh, you, baby.

Mercado.

No, come here.
Really quick. I want to...

Hey, come on, Ben.
Let's dance. Come on.

Dork.

All right, party people,
I don't see enough
empty seats out there.

Don't be shy.
Girls, grab a guy.
Guys, grab a girl.

Let's get this
party started right.

* Ladies

* If you feelin' all right

* Lemme see you
move your body tonight

* I said, my ladies

* If you in it tonight

* Come on, show me
why you know

* Ladies

* And I must admit that
it's poppin'

* All the females

* Goin' on

* So you run this party

* Let me see you
move your body *

D.J.: Yeah, I told you
I would get you hyped.

D.J. E-Man, master turntablist
on the wheels of steel,
cut it up one time, "E".

Cut it up.

No wait, wait.
This is the jam.
Come on, girls, routine?

Let's do this, okay?

(CROWD CHEERING)

What's up with this,
man?

* He walked in
with no personality

* Put my hands on my hips

* Throw my legs up, lift

* Unstoppable kicks
that'll make you switch

* So take your moves
and your groove out the door
and dismiss

What's up with that?

What? What?
What's up?

Yo, D.J.!

Looks like we got
a battle brewing here.

Fellas,
you gonna take that?

Let's show these ladies
it's a man's world.

I don't think so.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

* Like napalm,
can you smell the flesh?

* I represent the west
and come together
with my niggas on the east

* Just to increase power
to dominate the world

* We're taking over, word!

* We gonna break

* Get back, get back,
attack

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

* Don't play me for a fool
and be hardcore

* Give me a taste
of what you got in store

* Ladies are the prime example
on the dance floor

* Battle, battle, anybody?
I will prevail

* Don't test my speed,
I remain upscale

* Step back into my vision,
no need for introduction

* I'm made to perfection,
your game's under
construction

* Take you on my next battle

* This is the beginning
of your last chance

* Handle me, if you can't
I'll make you say
"she's the man"

(ALL CHEERING)

* My style is less
than full heat

* A B-boy M.C.
D.J. jumpin' up

* Rippin', they can see
I'm a regular, I smash
the track on the dance floor

* I think it's time
to get your posse up

* For the battle,
my crew runs thick

* And makes noise,
the floors rattle

* 'Cause in the Zulu
gremlin's an addict

* I'm sick with this style
and a footwork fanatic

* Guilty of fumbling
opponents with moves

* The D.J. was my accomplice,
and the record player
didn't say shit *

(ALL CHEERING)

(ALL WHOOPING)

I don't know, party people,
that looked like a tie to me.

Yo, E-Man, break us
off with another beat.

* Hey, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh

* Hey, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh

Come on, go do it.

Come on, Ruben.

Yeah, all right.

* Hey, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh

Hi.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, you. Didn't know you
were into older women, huh?

I know,
when you got it,
you got it.

Um, can I cut in?

You know
how to cha-cha?

No, but I can learn.

Of course,
he's a Mercado.

Um...

Okay.

Um,

we go, one, two,
cha, cha, cha,

three, four,
cha, cha, cha,

one, two...

Oh, okay, cha, cha, cha.

Now, swing
the hips a little.

Oh.

Yeah, like that.

(LAUGHS)

There you go.
You got it.

I do.

Yes, you do.

That was nice.
Let me try that.

Oh!

See, if you're Filipino,
you can cha-cha.
It is in the blood.

(LAUGHS)

* Oh, oh, haa

* How can I be sure

* that the feelings
that we feel are mutual?

* Unless you tell me
I need to know *

* Whenever I'm feeling
down and out

* You always know
just how to make me smile

* Whenever I think
I've lost my way

* You tell me something sweet
that makes my day

* Thank you for the long walks
and for the long talks

* You've helped me
through so much *

There's so many
people here, tonight,

I didn't know
who I was related to.

Oh, that's the thing
about these parties,

sometimes you just
don't know who is family.

Wait, we're not related,
are we?

Uh, no. Definitely not.

Definitely?

Definitely.

Good. Oh, wait up.

I have something for you.

Oh, really, what?

What is this?

GUSTO:
What's up, nigga?

ROMMEL:
Brake yourself, fool.

You got it hard
for my girl, punk?

Gusto, don't.
Shut up, ho!

You think you could replace me
with this bitch-ass punk?

Bitch! Why you
mad-dogging me?

I don't know
what you're
talking about, okay?

Gusto, just stop.

Nigga, don't even
play gump on us!

Look, I don't want trouble.
Okay, Gusto?

Fuck you, white boy!
I'm not a white boy!

Oh, yeah?
Who do you roll with
that ain't white?

You see?
You always been
a fucking sellout.

Come on, pussy.
See what you got.

Come on, come on.

(GROANS)

Fucking white boy.

(LAUGHS)

Fucking coconut.

Oh, shit!

Stop, stop!

Fuck him up.

(GROANS)

(BOTH GROANING)

ROMMEL:
Fuck. Get him, "G."

That's right, bitch.

Get up. Get him up.
Come on, get up, bitch!
Get up, bitch!

(BEN GROANING)

Get the fuck up,
"G," come on!

(INAUDIBLE)

Hey, what are you doing?

Get off, Ben!

(ALL YELLING)

Fuck you! Hey, yo,
give me back my shit!

What the...
Who do you think you are?

Bringing a gun here, huh?
Fuck you!

Pa! Pop!

ROLAND: Bringing inside
a gun? You planning to
use it, huh?

(ALICE SCREAMING)

Oh, my God.
Where'd you get that?

Your son brought
a gun to our party.

GEORGE:
Jesus christ!

What are you talking about?
What... What're you
doing with that?

I got it from your boy.

You're lying! Shut up,
it's not his gun!

He could have
killed someone with this.

It's not his gun! It's those
hooligan friends of his.

Fuck you!

GEORGE:
Now come on, Alice.

It's his friend's gun!
Look, he's such a good boy.

Alice, will you stop being
so goddamn naive?

Shut the fuck up!

Don't you ever fucking talk
to her like that again,
you fucking hear me?

ALICE:
Augusto! Augusto, stop!

Augusto, stop it now!
Stop that!

Don't disrespect your father.

Ma, Ma, Ma!

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

What are you doing
talking like that?

Such a rude boy.

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

(CRYING)

(ALICE WHIMPERING)

(LOLO SPEAKING TAGALOG)

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

(LOLO SPEAKING TAGALOG)

I didn't expect
this to happen...

You did not expect
because you didn't think!

(LOLO SPEAKING TAGALOG)

Pa!

Pa, Pa!

(SPEAKING TAGALOG)

(SHOUTING IN TAGALOG)

(WHISPERING IN TAGALOG)

I can't believe
your bitch ass
just stood there.

At least
I got my kicks in.

But it wouldn't be "pair."

What did you say?

It wouldn't be
"pair" to jump in.

Pear? What the fuck
does fruit have
to do with this?

I can't believe
you're fucking related to me.

You've been here
two fucking years,

and you still act like
you went through
customs yesterday.

I swear, you tired-ass F.O.B.s
come to this country

and make the rest
of us look stupid.

Stop calling me a "pob."

What are you
going to do about it,

you fresh-off-the-boat
motherfucker?

(GROANS)

(YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

JUN: And did you see
the look on Ben's face?

Dude was
about to go Cunanan.

Man, I've never seen Ben
go ape-shit like that before.

What about his pops?
Now that was
some loco shit.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Wild.
Hey, guys.

Ben.
Badass himself.

Fuck, man.
Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm cool.

Are you sure?
Can I get you anything?

No, it's okay.

So, what the fuck
happened, man?

I don't know.
Everything happened so fast,
I guess I just got pissed off.

DOUG: Wow!

Yeah, well, next time I see
that G-thing, I'm gonna
drop-kick his fucking ass.

Yeah, right, Chuck Norris.

Damn,
if I knew he was carrying,
I'd bone out Carl Lewis style.

(ALL LAUGH)

You're sure
you're okay, man?

Oh, yeah, just sore,
that's all.

RICK: Yeah,
Ben's a tough motherfucker.

DOUG: Yep!

Hey, Ben,
look who's here.

Hey, guys,
Anna's got to go.

Yeah, I still
got that curfew.

Ah, later, Anna.
Go get some sleep.

Right, for a change.

* So when you go
to sleep at night *

So I guess that's our cue
to roll out of here, too.

Uh, yeah. Um...

Hey, bro,
you gonna be all right?

Definitely.

Hey, Ben, we got to hang
out with your cousin
more often.

This dude is deep.

Yo, man, I'm always down
to hang out with
my brown brothers.

BEN: Um, I'll catch you
guys on Monday.

Yeah,
and don't forget, dude,

you got to hook me up
with one of those barrel men.

Oh, yeah, man. Me, too.
And I want one
of those big giant

forks and spoons, too.
All right, bro?

All right. Peace.

Call me tomorrow,
okay, girlfriend?

Oh, yeah, definitely.

See you inside, Ben.

Yeah, uh, we're
going to go clean up.

(LAUGHS)

You know, it's...
It's a pretty dangerous
area around here.

May I walk you?

Yeah, sure.

So, you've had
quite a night.

Yeah, well, it was fun
while it lasted, huh?

Yeah, it was.

But...

I'm sorry
it ended up like this.

Like it's your fault?

I mean, at least
I learned how to cha-cha.

(LAUGHS)

I never got a chance
to thank you for that
drawing that you did.

That was really
sweet of you.

It's no biggie.

Damn, I'm still tripping
on how you just clocked Gusto.

I have never seen
anybody do that before.

I don't know, I mean,
it felt good at the time.

(GIGGLES)

You know,
come to think of it,

I don't think Gusto's ever
been to a party
he didn't ruin. So...

I feel like an idiot,
I should have
just walked away.

No. See, that was
classic Gusto for you.

Always talking shit,
looking for an excuse
to act all hard.

Well, actually,
I was just thinking
that maybe Augusto's right.

Right about what?

That I'm a sellout.
A coconut.

Yeah, right,
like he should talk.

Dude, when we first
started going out,

the boy used to braid
his hair into cornrows, so...

You think that's bad?

That's pretty bad.

You should've seen me
when I was in junior high.

Why?

I used to sleep
with a clothespin on my nose

to see if I could
make it more pointed.

I mean, I don't know.
I guess I wanted to look

more like Jason Priestley
or something.

Come on now,
you have a cute nose.

See, flat noses are nice

because they don't
get all smashed up

when you try
to kiss somebody.

You know what I think?
I think you need
a back rub right about now.

I mean, come on,
it's been a long day.

Oh, really?

Now, are you sure
your hands are big enough?

I think they'll do.

Um,

your sister has
my phone number.

Um,

call me

and, uh, let me know
how you're doing?

Sure.

(ENGINE STARTING)

* Seeing you

* All this time

* Has been such a lovely
inspiration

* Devotion

* Faithfully I try

* Can you see
the things that I do?

* Can you feel
the things that I feel?

* Do you know

* how much I miss you
when you go?

* And if you promise
to stay so true

* I'll never, ever
stop loving you

* Oh, no

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

You gave Sinatra
a run for his money
last night.

Tito Lenny was telling us
about your singing days.

Well,

I was very young then.

I wasn't planning
on telling you this so soon,

but I withdrew
all my savings,

paid off my first year's
tuition at CalArts.

I'm not taking that
scholarship to U.C.L.A.

Well,

aren't you going
to yell at me now,
or something?

All your savings.

Yeah. It took that.

Even with the loan
I got from the school.

So much money, Ruben.

For a hobby.

This is my portfolio.

CalArts accepted me on this.

I was just working on this.

Well,

I got to get ready
for church.

I'll talk
to your mother about this...

CalArts thing.

Hoy, what are you doing?
We'll be late. Let's go.

* Waste it all in Reno

* Laugh it down the drain

* And I am

* Standing right
beside you now

* Morph into a creature

* That no one understands,
and I will

* Lay my life beside you now

* Yeah

* And you're racing again

* Like there's no tomorrow

* Only an end

* Blue moon over Malibu

* Drown it in the ocean
and I'm

* Standing right
beside you now

* Work it out on the 405

* No one here is waking up
to die and I'll

* Lay my life beside you now

* And you're racing again
like there's no limitations

* Round the California bend

* Run, run, run
southern dreamer

* If ever I had a savior,
it was you

* Run, run, run
southern dreamer

* Whenever I need a detour
to the truth

* If ever I had a savior,
it was you

* Ah

* Run, run, run away

* Rock the mic as tight
as you can hold me

* La, la, la, la

for a while now

* All the things you do
spin me all around

* No one will love me
like you do

* It's been so nice

* Forever me and you
till the end of time

* Lovin' in the broad of day,
all day long

you make me feel at home

* When you turn away

* How much you mean to me

* Your love is all I see

* Diamonds on her fingers,
precious like
a cultured pearl

* Her presence moved me,
body of sculpture

* The essence of beauty
and the rest is to be

* Complexion was flawless,
perfection at work

* To be honest,
she could say she was

* Someone...
