Chapter Ten
1 ["CHANGES" PLAYING.]
[OSCAR.]
Feeling sick? Ain't no room for remorse.
The Prophets are shit.
They want to exterminate us 'cause they fear us.
And they should.
We're the future, Lil' Spooky.
This is our hood.
I know you question what you did.
But what you did what had to be done.
You handled your shit.
You ensured your future.
I'm proud of you.
We're proud of you.
You're a Santo.
[VOMITS.]
[WOMAN OVER P.

Imaging, extension 181.
Imaging, please pick up, extension 181.
Yummy? Mm-hmm.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Look who's here.
Uncle Chivo! He's been eating, walking, talking.
Talking? Oh, I bet he has a lot to share.
[JAMAL CHUCKLES.]
- Oh, let me help you.
I can do that.
- You sure? [NURSE.]
What a special nephew you have.
No, no, no, no, no.
Why'd you do it, asswipe? Why did you lie to me about RollerWorld? I'm hungry.
What was the point? Was Julio's death worth it? - Julio wasn't a good homie - And I found Juanita, you sick bastard.
Juanita loves me.
- She doesn't love Julio.
- So you held her hostage? - To keep her safe.
- With this? The map.
"The map?" This is not a map.
This is nothing! I wasted my time looking for nothing when I could've saved my friend.
And now I have blood on my hands.
And so do you.
Was there ever any money? I don't know.
That's all Ricky left me.
That and some bad rhymes.
So you created a fake scavenger hunt? I lost my friends.
I lost my credibility.
And I lost my belief.
I believed.
I really believed.
Don't you have anything to say? But wasn't it fun? Fun? [GRUNTS.]
[JAMAL.]
God damn it! [RUBY.]
Bless you.
Can you believe we were here only a few hours ago? When there was hope.
Oh, my God! I mean, goodness.
- Seriously? - What? There's a typo in the program.
"Their" is spelled with an e-r-e instead of e-i-r.
Only e-i-r shows possession.
Really? You think this is a time to grammar troll? Jamal was supposed to double-check before they were printed.
Add it to the list.
He's a loser.
Hey! I know you're mad, but try to temper your 'tude today.
And be cool when Jamal gets here.
- He's not coming.
We're better for it.
- What about Olivia? - Cesar's probably won't show either.
- We don't know that.
- He just killed someone.
- We don't know that for sure.
Monse we know.
Getting some air will do you good.
Yeah.
Hopefully, it'll help the mocos go down easier, too.
But I'm telling you, this ain't nothing.
I'm gonna be back to my fine-ass self in no time.
[COUGHING.]
Lover, can I borrow your pocket square? Use your hand! - I think you need to go back inside.
- But away from me.
- Then where should I go? - The daycare center.
What? Babies are always sick.
[GAGS.]
Have you seen Cesar? Not yet.
But you know Cesar.
Dude takes forever to primp.
Bet he's on his way.
- "Bet he's on his way?" Why say that? - So she wouldn't worry.
But he's not coming.
- We should've showed her the typo.
- What's that gonna do? Distraction.
Some people like taking their mind off what's big by sweating the small stuff.
Jesus Christ! [MAN CLEARS THROAT.]
Amen.
They're the wrong font.
They were supposed to be printed in Palatino, not Helvetica.
- Now I can't unsee that.
- We gotta tell Olivia.
- I don't think she'll even notice.
- No! About Cesar.
- She needs to know.
He's not coming.
- But he's already here.
Give me some of those.
[IN RAP STYLE.]
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack jump over the candlestick [JAMAL.]
Talk! [SIGHS.]
Talk to me, Lil' Ricky.
I know you were smart.
You You were the smartest.
So, there's something I'm not seeing.
Some clue that's still left hidden.
Tell me.
What am I missing? I tell you what I'm not missing, your music career.
[CHUCKLES.]
You feel me, girl? Some things are better left in a drawer.
Sorry.
Too soon.
[IN RAP STYLE.]
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a good fall He fell hard Broke his ass Medical bills Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet Eating her rice and beans When out of her butt There was such a rut She had to change her jeans Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, change [CHUCKLES.]
These crappy rhymes are nursery rhymes.
Ring-a-round the Rosie.
[GAGGING.]
Ew.
Oh.
God.
Screw it.
Congratulations, mija.
Thanks, Ms.
Garcia.
- Hey.
- Hi.
You looked incredible out there.
That's good to know because my knees are wrecked.
- Kneeling for an hour is not a blessing.
- But you are blessed.
And officially a woman.
- Feel different? - Yeah! I want to vote, and change the world, and bear children, and No, not even a little.
And you? Everything okay? - As good as it gets.
- [WOMAN.]
Mija, over here.
Give me a minute.
I'm almost done.
It was a nice ceremony.
Yeah.
You didn't kill him.
Monse! He's not dead, but he's gone.
What does that mean? [LATRELLE.]
But I didn't shoot.
I didn't shoot, man.
- You should've.
- Come on, man.
Come on, man.
You don't have to do this, man.
Don't tell me what to do! Come on, man.
I don't want to die.
There's got to be another way.
There is.
Well, I'll do whatever you want, man.
Whatever.
Disappear.
For sure.
For sure, man.
I'll dip.
Just don't kill me.
Tonight.
Leave tonight.
Can't tell anyone you're going or where you're going to.
You just gotta go.
Evaporate.
I got some people out in Florida.
I can go there.
My homie just got out - Don't bullshit me! - I'm not! You have the burner! Calm down! Then it's done.
We're even.
All right.
I'll dip.
Wait, no.
You can't bounce.
Your homies gonna know nothing happened.
You got to make it look legit.
They got to smell it on you.
Wait, what? The burner.
Shoot it into the can.
Once that goes off, run.
Take your hoodie off too 'cause there ain't gonna be no blood.
Feel me? Hoodie up.
Burner up.
[WOMAN.]
Ay, qué lindos.
Come on, Ruby.
Help your dad pack the car.
- Come on! - I do need help.
With your mother.
Not the car.
Give me a minute.
[SIGHS.]
If Latrelle's not dead, doesn't that leave you vulnerable? It's handled.
And we never talk about it again.
Now this is Olivia's day, and if I were you, I'd be more worried about those dance steps.
Ruby! Por favor.
I'll see you guys back at the house.
Hey.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
[MONSE.]
I was so worried.
Tape.
Tape! [EXHALES.]
This is it, baby.
This is it.
"Ring around the Rosé.
" [ROSÃ.]
This was Frankie's high school championship ring.
Proudest moment of their lives was winning that football game.
"Pocket full of posies.
" [ABUELITA.]
Go here.
Mr.
Greenthumb Nursery.
"Ashes! Ashes!" Benito's family owned a smoke shop I used to walk by.
And when it burned down, they couldn't afford to rebuild.
Juanita this rhyme is the map.
Ring-a-round the Rosie is for Frankie.
Pocket full of Posies is Lil' Ricky.
And ashes to ashes is Benito.
This was a way for them and only them to decode where the money was buried.
And so the last line is the jackpot.
It's where the money is buried.
We all fall down.
Come on, Jamal.
[SIGHS.]
What is it? We all fall down! Let's get it, girl.
[RUBY.]
We got a full house.
You ready to get this party started? - Agh! - I think I might have to go home.
What's wrong with you? I don't know.
I just keep passing out.
You have to rally.
I can wear gloves.
I'm down with that.
It's about to get dirty up in here.
Jasmine! Taste my juicy nalga! Dos quesadillas por favor.
Can someone escort Jasmine home? No.
[COUGHING.]
Buenas noches.
[IN SPANISH.]
Ladies, follow me to the kitchen.
gonna set up the buffet? - On the tables in the back.
- But they're not there.
What? Well, who moved them? - A guy told me he needed them.
- It was the fireworks guy.
We're having fireworks? Thank you.
Thank you, everyone, for spoiling the surprise.
Yes, fireworks.
At 9:30.
Someone get his panties out of a bunch.
[CHUCKLES.]
[ABUELITA IN SPANISH.]
Take the food out.
Nothing's spoiled.
Oh, no, we're just down a dama and a chambelan.
- And one of your surprises is ruined.
- One of my surprises? Yes.
But that's all I'm giving you until it's spoiled which it undoubtedly will be.
This day is cursed.
I'm telling you, it's cursed.
The only upshot is that our D to C numbers are even again.
D to C numbers? Is that dick to coochie Get your head out the gutter! Damas to chambelanes.
Now Jasmine's out, you get to dance with me.
My prayers have been answered.
Everyone, assume your positions.
Looks great.
Can you give me a sec? I need to fix my dress.
Cesar, can you help me? Where's the trouble? Here.
This is my bad.
I'm sorry I was MIA yesterday.
You don't have to explain anything.
If I don't hear from you, there's a good reason.
I know you weren't intentionally keeping anything from me, but I feel like I'm keeping something from you.
I'm not really feeling this.
Us.
- Oh.
- My heart's not in it.
And if you're being honest, I don't think yours is either.
Truth is, you've all become my family and this place has started to feel like home.
- I don't want to mess that up.
- You're not gonna mess anything up.
And neither are you, because I don't know what's going on with you but Monse does.
The party's ruined! It's a total disaster.
- What's going on? - There's no horse.
- Okay.
- Okay? How are you gonna get pulled in your carriage? Wait.
Maybe we can get Jasmine to come back.
She's crazy strong.
We're so jacked! And do you smell that? Some asshole's getting lit in the middle of all of this.
Can you please Ocupado.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, everyone out here now.
We're 20 minutes and counting from the presentation, and after a little second-hand high, I'm starting to chill.
We're gonna do a little improvising.
Monse, remember the walking pas de bourrée we were gonna incorporate into the dance? - No.
- We're gonna do those so we can give Olivia and Cesar a proper entrance without the carriage.
- I'm not dancing with Cesar.
- What? - Why? - We just broke up.
Are you kidding me? This whole day is falling apart.
- Cesar, your timing is terrible.
- She dumped me.
We dumped each other.
If you're not gonna dance with Cesar, who are you gonna dance with? You.
Have you ever seen Ruby so happy? Not since he got hair under his arms.
- Last year.
- You mean, last week? [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I'm surprised you're not feeling more guilty.
About what? My breakup.
Why would I feel guilty? Because it was over you.
[APPLAUSE.]
We're up.
[PANTING.]
Ricky, where the hell did you put it? I know it's here.
But where's it buried? Shit.
It's on the other side.
[OLIVIA LAUGHS.]
Oh, your hair is falling.
Here.
Let me Do you know what you're doing? I know I don't seem like I know what I'm doing, but - I don't know what I'm doing.
- Show me where it is.
- Does it look messy? - Nope.
Looks perfect.
Like you.
Thanks for having my back.
Cesar and I are just friends.
Are you trying to make me believe that or yourself? I'm not trying to do anything or start anything But it started before I got here.
Cesar's the guy from summer.
- How do you know that? - Because I do.
Just like I know you don't know how to do hair or wear dresses.
I know you, Monse.
And I love you.
So, whatever mixed up sense of loyalty you're feeling right now, and I know you're feeling some, chuck it.
Be loyal to you.
Stop trying to please everybody but you.
Life's too short.
Be with Cesar.
Consider it your birthday gift to me.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need her.
Okay.
I only have two minutes to explain, but I have this other surprise that surprisingly no one spoiled.
I guess because no one knows.
We got to move.
This way.
- Where are we going? - To find better service.
Yes! So remember when we talked about that little bit of Texas and how much you missed your parents? I already took pictures with the cutouts.
No! No cutouts.
The real thing.
I got a smartphone to your parents so you could Facetime.
I thought you should see them on your birthday.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
[SNIFFLING.]
Pick it up.
Hi! [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I love you guys so much.
I miss you too! I wish you could be here.
[BUZZING.]
- Mom? Dad? What happened? - [CELL PHONE BEEPS.]
I don't know! I have full bars.
Let me figure this out.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
They have bad service.
They'll call back in 20.
- I can't believe this.
- I know.
- Bad reception is a global epidemic.
- No this.
The call.
It's all too much.
- You don't want to talk to them? - No, I do.
Of course I do.
I just I don't understand why you're so good to me.
Why can't I just be good to you? Don't do that.
You're ruining your makeup.
I don't care.
It's my birthday.
I actually think you look better without it.
Not that you look bad with it.
- I mean, that's not what I'm saying.
- I know what you're saying.
- You do? - And it's charming.
It is? I mean, I know.
I was just feigning insecurity.
It's all a bit.
Part of the long play.
'Cause someday, Olivia Someday you're not gonna be able to keep your hands off me.
Wanna know how much I love you? Know I'm not much or qualified Why'd you do that? 'Cause sometimes you got to seize the day.
Yeah.
Sometimes you do.
All these levels, all these levels All these levels All these levels, all these levels All these levels, all these levels, All these levels To this, to this love [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Blacker than the ocean - Can I cut in? - No.
- No? - No! [CHUCKLES.]
You've got everything You've got what I need - You give up easy.
- No, I don't.
- You just don't know when to give up.
- Now you're contradicting yourself.
- I give up easy or not know when to? - Shut up and dance with me.
Move me You realize we're slow dancing.
- I do.
- And it's in public.
I know.
I'm tired of hiding, Cesar.
Then don't.
Kiss me We're a fire, babe Love me Take me to outer space [CLATTER.]
This is some bullshit! [LAUGHING.]
[CRYING.]
I can hear you, Ricky.
I hear you laughing.
I hear you calling me a loser.
And you know what? You're right.
'Cause I'm cutting my losses and I'm getting out of here.
I'm done.
This is nothing.
You are nothing.
Nothing but a figment of my imagination.
You were just a bad rapping, weird-cousin-having punk! I'm not gonna dig with my bare hands, ese.
You're not gonna get the best of me! ["CHANGES" PLAYING.]
Look at that pimp stick.
[OLIVIA LAUGHS.]
I miss Jamal.
I got to apologize.
You will.
But right now, you got to dance.
Then this one's for Jamal.
For Jamal! I been going through changes Ever since I was young Knew I was the one Dazed in new wave I'm just soaking it in Funny how they said That they want it back then Once I got it Lot of shit started disappearing How you carry yourself How you speak within Anything negative Just ain't part of my plan God chose me, and I be God damned If I let another soul Try to wheel me in If it was meant to be You would be right here New phone, who this?

[AMBULANCE SIREN BLARING.]
All I got is my fear of fate Trying not to sleep inside There's a way Read all the signs Trying to clear the way It's a fight that I'm still in today I swear to God I was meant for this And y'all was meant to be witnesses My peace of mind's your opinion, miss This dream of mine's so intimate Lord Keep me safe away from my enemies Lord Trying to leave y'all this good energy Lord For years, scared to face these fears I'm gonna shoot for the stars Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket I'm gonna light up the sky Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket I'm gonna vote for what's mine Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it Keep my eyes on the prize Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it The power of it Follow me, love Waiting for this Waiting to live In happiness Count me out from the get-go But I believe They must have been present so Repping my name Never forget Light the fuse, the spark begins Remember my name Never forget Light the fuse, the spark begins

Now Jasmine's out, you get to dance with me.
My prayers have been answered.
Everyone, assume your positions.
Looks great.
Can you give me a sec? I need to fix my dress.
Cesar, can you help me? Where's the trouble? Here.
This is my bad.
I'm sorry I was MIA yesterday.
You don't have to explain anything.
If I don't hear from you, there's a good reason.
I know you weren't intentionally keeping anything from me, but I feel like I'm keeping something from you.
I'm not really feeling this.
Us.
- Oh.
- My heart's not in it.
And if you're being honest, I don't think yours is either.
Truth is, you've all become my family and this place has started to feel like home.
- I don't want to mess that up.
- You're not gonna mess anything up.
And neither are you, because I don't know what's going on with you but Monse does.
The party's ruined! It's a total disaster.
- What's going on? - There's no horse.
- Okay.
- Okay? How are you gonna get pulled in your carriage? Wait.
Maybe we can get Jasmine to come back.
She's crazy strong.
We're so jacked! And do you smell that? Some asshole's getting lit in the middle of all of this.
Can you please Ocupado.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, everyone out here now.
We're 20 minutes and counting from the presentation, and after a little second-hand high, I'm starting to chill.
We're gonna do a little improvising.
Monse, remember the walking pas de bourrée we were gonna incorporate into the dance? - No.
- We're gonna do those so we can give Olivia and Cesar a proper entrance without the carriage.
- I'm not dancing with Cesar.
- What? - Why? - We just broke up.
Are you kidding me? This whole day is falling apart.
- Cesar, your timing is terrible.
- She dumped me.
We dumped each other.
If you're not gonna dance with Cesar, who are you gonna dance with? You.
Have you ever seen Ruby so happy? Not since he got hair under his arms.
- Last year.
- You mean, last week? [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I'm surprised you're not feeling more guilty.
About what? My breakup.
Why would I feel guilty? Because it was over you.
[APPLAUSE.]
We're up.
[PANTING.]
Ricky, where the hell did you put it? I know it's here.
But where's it buried? Shit.
It's on the other side.
[OLIVIA LAUGHS.]
Oh, your hair is falling.
Here.
Let me Do you know what you're doing? I know I don't seem like I know what I'm doing, but - I don't know what I'm doing.
- Show me where it is.
- Does it look messy? - Nope.
Looks perfect.
Like you.
Thanks for having my back.
Cesar and I are just friends.
Are you trying to make me believe that or yourself? I'm not trying to do anything or start anything But it started before I got here.
Cesar's the guy from summer.
- How do you know that? - Because I do.
Just like I know you don't know how to do hair or wear dresses.
I know you, Monse.
And I love you.
So, whatever mixed up sense of loyalty you're feeling right now, and I know you're feeling some, chuck it.
Be loyal to you.
Stop trying to please everybody but you.
Life's too short.
Be with Cesar.
Consider it your birthday gift to me.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need her.
Okay.
I only have two minutes to explain, but I have this other surprise that surprisingly no one spoiled.
I guess because no one knows.
We got to move.
This way.
- Where are we going? - To find better service.
Yes! So remember when we talked about that little bit of Texas and how much you missed your parents? I already took pictures with the cutouts.
No! No cutouts.
The real thing.
I got a smartphone to your parents so you could Facetime.
I thought you should see them on your birthday.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
[SNIFFLING.]
Pick it up.
Hi! [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I love you guys so much.
I miss you too! I wish you could be here.
[BUZZING.]
- Mom? Dad? What happened? - [CELL PHONE BEEPS.]
I don't know! I have full bars.
Let me figure this out.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
They have bad service.
They'll call back in 20.
- I can't believe this.
- I know.
- Bad reception is a global epidemic.
- No this.
The call.
It's all too much.
- You don't want to talk to them? - No, I do.
Of course I do.
I just I don't understand why you're so good to me.
Why can't I just be good to you? Don't do that.
You're ruining your makeup.
I don't care.
It's my birthday.
I actually think you look better without it.
Not that you look bad with it.
- I mean, that's not what I'm saying.
- I know what you're saying.
- You do? - And it's charming.
It is? I mean, I know.
I was just feigning insecurity.
It's all a bit.
Part of the long play.
'Cause someday, Olivia Someday you're not gonna be able to keep your hands off me.
Wanna know how much I love you? Know I'm not much or qualified Why'd you do that? 'Cause sometimes you got to seize the day.
Yeah.
Sometimes you do.
All these levels, all these levels All these levels All these levels, all these levels All these levels, all these levels, All these levels To this, to this love [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Blacker than the ocean - Can I cut in? - No.
- No? - No! [CHUCKLES.]
You've got everything You've got what I need - You give up easy.
- No, I don't.
- You just don't know when to give up.
- Now you're contradicting yourself.
- I give up easy or not know when to? - Shut up and dance with me.
Move me You realize we're slow dancing.
- I do.
- And it's in public.
I know.
I'm tired of hiding, Cesar.
Then don't.
Kiss me We're a fire, babe Love me Take me to outer space [CLATTER.]
This is some bullshit! [LAUGHING.]
[CRYING.]
I can hear you, Ricky.
I hear you laughing.
I hear you calling me a loser.
And you know what? You're right.
'Cause I'm cutting my losses and I'm getting out of here.
I'm done.
This is nothing.
You are nothing.
Nothing but a figment of my imagination.
You were just a bad rapping, weird-cousin-having punk! I'm not gonna dig with my bare hands, ese.
You're not gonna get the best of me! ["CHANGES" PLAYING.]
Look at that pimp stick.
[OLIVIA LAUGHS.]
I miss Jamal.
I got to apologize.
You will.
But right now, you got to dance.
Then this one's for Jamal.
For Jamal! I been going through changes Ever since I was young Knew I was the one Dazed in new wave I'm just soaking it in Funny how they said That they want it back then Once I got it Lot of shit started disappearing How you carry yourself How you speak within Anything negative Just ain't part of my plan God chose me, and I be God damned If I let another soul Try to wheel me in If it was meant to be You would be right here New phone, who this? Ain't heard from you in years [IN SLOW MOTION.]

[LABORED BREATHING.]
[PANTING.]
[AMBULANCE SIREN BLARING.]
All I got is my fear of fate Trying not to sleep inside There's a way Read all the signs Trying to clear the way It's a fight that I'm still in today I swear to God I was meant for this And y'all was meant to be witnesses My peace of mind's your opinion, miss This dream of mine's so intimate Lord Keep me safe away from my enemies Lord Trying to leave y'all this good energy Lord For years, scared to face these fears I'm gonna shoot for the stars Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket I'm gonna light up the sky Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket Like a bottle rocket I'm gonna vote for what's mine Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it Keep my eyes on the prize Ain't no one can stop it Ain't no one can stop it The power of it Follow me, love Waiting for this Waiting to live In happiness Count me out from the get-go But I believe They must have been present so Repping my name Never forget Light the fuse, the spark begins Remember my name Never forget Light the fuse, the spark begins
