00:00Emma, guess whose birthday is right around the corner.
00:08Alista es lo que quiero, está en la refrigeradora.
00:12Tell you what, I'm gonna bake you a cake, any kind you want.
00:16Quiero un queque de zanahoria del mercado.
00:20Y si hubieras leÃdo mi lista, lo supieras.
00:24Fine, but when you're too old to remember your name, I'm gonna make you eat my cake every day.
00:34Why do I try to make Grandma happy on her birthday?
00:38And why does she need a vertical chicken cooker?
00:42When chickens die, they should lie down.
00:45Zoe, did you take this message?
00:48I don't know, what does it say?
00:50Tell Mom and Uncle Freddy immediately.
00:52I took that yesterday. Sorry.
00:54Your father was still flying for Grandma's birthday, and he called to see if it's okay.
00:59Of course it's okay.
01:01Why wouldn't it be? He only abandoned us when I was four.
01:04This might be fun.
01:06I could go to the airport, watch people get off the plane, and play Which One's My Daddy?
01:13So that's a yes?
01:15No, that's a no.
01:16Fine, but I'm not gonna be the one to tell Grandma no.
01:19Last birthday, I had to tell her we weren't getting her a houseboy.
01:21She still has that catalog from Korea.
01:24Look, if it's that important that our dad comes, why isn't it on her list?
01:30It's on the back.
01:32And there's houseboy again.
01:35Why can't he come?
01:37He sounds nice when I talk to him on the phone.
01:40Yeah?
01:41Think about this.
01:42So does Grandma.
01:43Well, I understand.
01:44It's your house.
01:45It's up to you.
01:46Grandma!
01:47Uncle Freddy doesn't want you to see your own son!
01:49What happened?
01:50Carlos called.
01:51He wants to come for your birthday.
01:52Ay, Freddy.
01:53Este serÃa el mejor cumpleaños.
01:54I'm taking that hug because it's the second time you've ever done it.
02:09But he's not coming.
02:10Escúchenme.
02:11Miren.
02:12La muerte de tu hermano lo hizo despertar.
02:13Es lo único que quiere es tener paz con su familia.
02:14Esto es lo único que yo quiero para mis cumpleaños.
02:15Ok?
02:16Freddy, I think I'm ready to see him again.
02:17Fine, he can come.
02:18We're not going to be all hugging and I love you daddy when he gets here.
02:19But we're together on this, right?
02:20Right.
02:21God, I don't even remember what he looks like.
02:22Huh.
02:23I remember.
02:24He looked like this.
02:25Okay, Freddy.
02:26Okay, Freddy.
02:27So, I said, let's go for my cumpleaños.
02:28Ok?
02:29Freddy, I think I'm ready to see him again.
02:32Fine, he can come.
02:34But we're not going to be all hugging and I love you daddy when he gets here.
02:38But we're together on this, right?
02:40Right.
02:41God, I don't even remember what he looks like.
02:45Huh.
02:46I remember.
02:47He looked like this.
02:49Okay, Freddy, so I set it up that you can balance your checkbook and pay bills online.
02:58Thanks, Allison.
02:59I appreciate you helping out.
03:00No problem.
03:01You know, I wouldn't have to bother you with this if you just gave me power of attorney
03:05and I could write checks from your account.
03:10Oh, that is funny every time.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Your dad's going to be here any minute, huh?
03:18Yeah.
03:19I'm just going to be polite and let grandma have her visit.
03:24That's good.
03:25Yeah, I'd be careful because I think he'd kick your ass.
03:27How do you know?
03:28You never met him?
03:29He was a professional boxer.
03:31That's Tito Trinidad, the former welterweight champ.
03:35You do know not all Puerto Ricans are related, right?
03:40You know, in my defense, all the Puerto Ricans I know are related.
03:44Daddy, we're home.
03:47Freddy!
03:48Ah.
03:49Ven.
03:50Quiero que saludes a tu papi.
03:54It's good to see you.
03:57Bien, es un comienzo.
