介绍:
Mama Solis: So why am I here?
(Carlos looks out the window at his wife doing yoga. He thinks before he answers)
Carlos: She isn't happy.
Mama Solis:(encouragingly) mm-hmm.
Carlos: I've given her everything she ever wanted, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.I fear we are drifting further and further away.
(Carlos is getting more upset with everything he admits to his mother. His head drops low for this last part.)
Carlos: And lately I've started thinking that maybe she could be...
Mama Solis: You think she's cheating on you.
(Carlos nods. His eyes tear.)
Carlos: I think so.
(He breaks down. Mama Solis looks at him and gets up as if she's going to comfort her hurt child. But Mama Solis slaps him across the face.)
Mama Solis:We can talk about your problems. But I'm not going to have any of that. (some Spanish words)
Carlos:Sorry, mama.
(Mama Solis sits down. She's coming upwith a plan.)
Mama Solis:Do you have any proof?
Carlos: No.No, it's just a feeling.
Mama Solis:I had that feeling with your father and that who*e waitress. And I was right.Always trust your feelings.
Carlos: So what do I do?
Mama Solis:You don't do anything. I'll take care of it.
Carlos:Thank you, Mama.
Mama Solis:I'm sorry I had to hit you. But we're strong people, and we don't cry about our problems.
Mama Solis:So you shop a lot, huh?
(Gabrielle looks through a display of knickers)
Gabrielle: Yeah.So?
Mama Solis:Most women that shop a lot, it's because they don't have anything better to do.
Gabrielle: What's your point?
Mama Solis:Well, if you had children-
Gabrielle:(walks off) Here we go.
Mama Solis: I'm just saying that children give your life purpose. You get so busy taking care of them that you don't have any time to wonder if you're happy.
Gabrielle:You know, Juanita, this is so like you. I take you on a nice shopping trip and you find ways to upset me.
Mama Solis:Oh, you didn't invite me. I invited myself.
(Gabrielle looks at the time again)
Mama Solis: You keep looking at your watch. Is there someplace you have to be?
Gabrielle: (a bit too loudly and forcefully) NO.
(They get some strange looks off other women shoppers)
Gabrielle:And for the record, I am not one of those women who has a hole in her heart that can only be filled by a baby. I like my life. A lot. It's very fulfilling.
