00:00:06.
00:00:40In the quiet of the night there is a journey, a journey taken by the soul. It is a journey
00:00:48of the self and its destination is itself.
00:00:53The route taken is a dream, and that dream is said to be the landscape of our yesterdays and tomorrows.
00:01:03With angels as our guide, we embark upon the adventure of finding ourselves.
00:01:10But what is it for those who do not take the journey?
00:01:14Those who have forsaken the dream?
00:01:17Those who do not explore the landscape of their soul?
00:01:22Are they destined to remain lost to themselves, never reaching the kingdom God has given them?
00:01:30Or within the void of their awareness, in the quiet of the night, will they again take the journey in
00:01:40search of the dream?
00:06:22And their movement is like the dance of the trees with the wind.
00:06:27But when two spirits meet, their dance is known as the dance of life.
00:07:55I don't know.
00:12:28Hello?

00:34:13There's something I wanted to talk to you about.
00:34:16Yeah? What is that?
00:34:19Well, you know...
00:34:21We've been going out for a while.
00:34:24And everything's been going really well.
00:34:27You know?
00:34:28Even when we fight, it's like...
00:34:31Ah, ah, ah.
00:34:32No fighting.
00:34:34Disagree.
00:34:36Okay, disagree.
00:34:38Every time we disagree, it's like, you know, everything always ends up working out.
00:34:43And things are better than they were before.
00:34:46And I just think that maybe we should start to consider...
00:34:53Yeah?
00:34:54Well...
00:34:57We should start to consider getting more serious about our relationship.
00:35:03Serious about our relationship?
00:35:05Yeah, I just...
00:35:06You mean...
00:35:07You mean...
00:35:08Yeah, I just think that we should further define our relationship.
00:35:12What are you talking? What do you mean?
00:35:16Well, you know, things are going so well, I just thought maybe we'd make more of a commitment to each
00:35:22other.
00:35:23Commitment?
00:35:25I can't believe you.
00:35:27Jesus.
00:35:28What?

00:35:35What?
00:35:39Every sick fucking time we go out, we can't go home without you having to ruin it.

00:35:48What is it? You enjoy this shit? You plan this shit before you leave the house?
00:35:52Yeah, that's exactly what the fuck I do, right?
00:35:55You know the pressure that I'm getting right now.

00:36:02Why do you have to put this pressure on me? Why?
00:36:05Like, what is it? You don't think that I get enough pressure from anybody else?
00:36:09My family wants me out the fucking house?
00:36:11My boss hates me to death. He won't give me a promotion.
00:36:15And my baby's mother's fucking me in court.

00:48:31African stuff.

00:48:46Very good.
00:48:47I've been fighting this issue.

00:48:59You see, maybe a lot of people don't know that you have this store.
00:49:03And that's the most important thing that you have it now, because I've been roaming
00:49:08all over to look for a place like this.

00:58:24did you know that you were in the newspaper?
00:58:28what?
00:58:29yeah you actually made a couple of newspapers
00:58:33what did they say?
00:58:36it said that the shooting was gang related but it said that you were a member of one of the
00:58:43gangs
00:58:43and they wrote the story they should have come and listened to my story
00:58:48you know I'm a dancer and I'm shouting and I'm like how am I going to eat?

00:59:09thank you very much
00:59:32you've got to give it to Abba
00:59:34after she came home from the hospital she cried for a while
00:59:37yeah she was really angry about it wouldn't you be?
00:59:42anyway she tried to go on dancing
00:59:44in fact I have never seen anyone work as hard as she did to overcome her injury
00:59:50but no matter how hard she tried it was never the same
00:59:55I remember when the doctors at the hospital told her that she could never dance again
01:00:00Ave Maria Purisima
01:00:02I thought they were going to arrest her or something
01:00:04I mean she just wasn't having it
01:00:07but after losing her job at the dance school and running out of money
01:00:11she finally decided she had to go back to Ghana to be with her family
01:00:15a dancer getting shot in the leg?
01:00:19damn
01:00:21but you know life has a strange way of showing you what it wants you to know
01:00:26you know like what works for one person may not work for somebody else
01:00:31I don't know about Abba
01:00:33but if there's one thing she taught me
01:00:36it was that I should have never given up on my dream
01:01:08that's about a date
01:01:09I pena
01:01:58I'm so glad that was done.
01:02:01Yeah, that was done pretty quick.
01:02:03That might help.
01:02:05Thanks, by the way.
01:02:08So what are you going to do since Alva's gone now?
01:02:11I don't know.

01:02:31I was thinking about a couple of things.
01:02:36Well, I told you you've got to get a man in here.
01:02:38You have way too much free time.
01:02:39Oh, don't start with that again.
01:02:41Why not?
01:02:43I don't know.
01:02:44I just...
01:02:44I'm thinking about maybe...
01:02:47You know, doing a lot of different stuff.
01:02:49Maybe...
01:02:50I've been thinking about going back to, uh, Dancing Sansa.
01:02:53Oh, cool.
01:02:54Cool.
01:02:55That's awesome.
01:02:55You've got to get into it.

01:02:59Well, I've got to get back into shape first.
01:03:02Want to go work out right now?

01:03:08I'm done with this cleaning.
01:03:10I'm done for the day.
01:03:12I can't believe they can shoot movies like this.
01:03:15My agent's an idiot.
01:03:16They're going to get me out of the...
01:03:18You know I had an audition for this film?
01:03:20What?
01:03:20I laughed at his ass.

01:03:27Hello?
01:03:28Oh, really?
01:03:30Okay, cool.

01:03:34All right.
01:03:34Nice seeing you.
01:03:35Thanks.
01:03:43Hey, that guy would not have told Super to come tomorrow.
01:03:47Hello?
01:03:49Is somebody there?
01:03:54Ay, it's part of those damn kids.
01:04:06Look!
01:04:12It's always been one of my favorite positions.
01:04:17Miguel?
01:04:18Here.
01:04:19Let me help you in there.
01:04:26Miguel?
01:04:27That's right, baby.
01:04:28It's me.
01:04:29What are you doing here?
01:04:32What do you mean, what am I doing here?
01:04:33I came to see you.
01:04:35Why?
01:04:36Well, first of all, I want to apologize for what happened in the park that day.
01:04:41And I'm hoping that you'll forgive me.
01:04:43Wait a minute.
01:04:44You came here to apologize for being an hijo de puta that day in the park?
01:04:50And then you expect me to forgive you because you buy me some cheap-ass flowers?
01:04:53Is that right?
01:04:55Well, yeah, I guess so.
01:04:58Excuse me.
01:04:58Let me help you guys.
01:05:03Let's stay.
01:05:05You.
01:05:07I want to go.
01:05:12Let's go.
01:05:15Let's go.
01:05:25Let's go.
01:05:33I'll kill you!
01:05:34Jesus, Rita, what the hell's wrong with you?
01:05:36What's wrong with me?
01:05:37Yeah!
01:05:38I haven't cut your balls off yet and fed them to my cat!
01:05:40Maldito!
01:05:41You, stop it!
01:05:42Put the fucking knife down, Rita!
01:05:44Well, I'll put the knife down, all right.
01:05:46Write down your pants and cut off that beetroot you love so much!
01:05:48Please, Rita, put the knife down before somebody gets hurt!
01:05:51Oh, somebody's gonna get hurt, and that somebody's you!
01:05:53Jesus Christ, Rita, would you stop?
01:05:55Stop for a minute and please listen to me!
01:05:57Listen to what?
01:05:58Listen to how I was ruined everything?
01:06:00Or how you couldn't give me everything that I want?
01:06:02Yeah, everything except for commitment!
01:06:04Why don't you take your tired-ass apology and your cheap-ass flowers
01:06:08and get the hell out of my house?
01:06:09Get out!
01:06:10Get out!
01:06:11Get out!
01:06:24Rita, please.
01:06:26Listen to me.
01:06:28Listen to me.
01:06:28You've got to believe me what I'm telling you.
01:06:30I'm telling you the truth.
01:06:31I'm very sorry about hurting you.
01:06:39I know that I can be a little at puta sometimes, but I'm very sorry for that.
01:06:45And I'm extremely sorry for all those stupid things that I've said and all the stupid things
01:06:49that I've been doing to you.
01:06:53Believe me, if I could take everything back right now, this second, I would, but I don't have
01:06:58a choice.
01:06:58Please!
01:06:59All I can do is just apologize and beg for your forgiveness.
01:07:10I'll be old Miguel.
01:07:11I got rid of him a long time ago.
01:07:13I fired him.
01:07:14You fired him, huh?
01:07:16Yes.
01:07:17I gave him his walking papers.
01:07:19I told him I didn't want to see him anymore, out of my life.
01:07:21He ruined my life.
01:07:23He ruined my job.
01:07:24He ruined everything.
01:07:27But most of all, he ruined the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:07:33And that was the relationship that I had with you.
01:07:38Now, please, Rita, if you can just give me one chance to show you the new Miguel, the one
01:07:45that wants to love you, the one that wants to take care of you, the one that's not afraid
01:07:49to commit, please, tell me it's not too late to start over.
01:07:58I've got to do this.
01:08:02I guess it's not too late to see him.
01:08:11He's one of her friends in the Thanks to Meets.
01:08:12I'm gonna go and get her, because I've got her.
01:08:12He's like, I swear.
01:08:12He's like, I'm gon.
01:08:24You're right.
01:08:25I'm gonna have you, too.
01:08:28You're right.
01:09:37Wow, this food smells delicious.
01:09:46Wow, this is really good.
01:09:49I'm telling you, nobody can cook this stuff better than you.
01:09:53Hey, that girl you had stay in here, is she around?
01:09:58Abba?
01:10:00Yeah, that's her, Abba.
01:10:02No, she left and she moved back to Ghana.
01:10:06Really?
01:10:08Didn't she want to be like a dancer or something?
01:10:11Yeah.
01:10:12Oh, I guess that didn't work out, did it?
01:10:17Anyway, I need to tell you something.
01:10:20I really did miss you.
01:10:21What about you?
01:10:23What?
01:10:24Did you miss me?
01:10:30Well, honestly, I'd like to tell you that you were the furthest thing from my mind.
01:10:37But I'd be lying if I did.
01:10:45So how's work?
01:10:47I told you already, I fired the old Miguel.
01:10:51So are you looking for a new job?
01:10:53No.
01:10:54Then what?
01:10:57Okay, you remember Tito.
01:10:59I introduced you to him one night at the club.
01:11:02Oh, yeah.
01:11:03Mm-hmm.
01:11:03Okay, check it out.
01:11:04Him and I, we get together, right?
01:11:07We're throwing these ideas around.
01:11:08We come up with this final plan.
01:11:10We started our own business together.
01:11:12Wow, that's great, Miguel.
01:11:14It gets better.
01:11:15Last week, we landed a seven-figure contract with the city.
01:11:21Wow, I'm really happy for you, Miguel.
01:11:23What do you mean happy for me?
01:11:26Happy for us.
01:11:28For us?
01:11:29That's right, for us.
01:11:30Listen, if there's one thing that happened from us breaking up,
01:11:36was that I learned how much you really knew to me.
01:11:39Now, I didn't come here with like an engagement ring or anything,
01:11:43but I'm here now, okay?
01:11:46And I'm ready to make a commitment to you.
01:11:49I don't ever want to live without you again.
01:11:53You know, in Puerto Rico, my grandma used to tell us,
01:11:57Es mejor querer y perder que nunca haber amado.
01:12:03Which means...
01:12:04I know what it means.
01:12:06It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
01:12:10Well, I speak Spanish too, you know.
01:12:14Well, what do you expect?
01:12:16Are you ready to make a commitment to me?
01:12:29I don't know.
01:12:33What do you mean you don't know?
01:12:35I'm telling you.
01:12:36I don't know.
01:12:38Look, Rita, I'm not trying to force the issue here.
01:12:41But I just thought that maybe with this contract with the city,
01:12:44I'd finally have enough money to take care of you.
01:12:46Take care of me?
01:12:47What makes you think I want to be taken care of?
01:12:50You know what I mean.
01:12:51I mean like to take you to nice places, buy you nice things.
01:12:55You could even quit that job.
01:12:57I mean, don't get me wrong.
01:12:58Don't rush on the job thing.
01:13:00Oh, well, thank you very much.
01:13:10Rita, why do you have to sound so condescending about it?
01:13:13I'm sorry, Miguel.
01:13:15You know, I'm really happy for you,
01:13:17and I appreciate you wanting to take care of me.
01:13:21But I've changed a lot since the last time we saw each other.
01:13:24I'm sorry.
01:13:25Changed?
01:13:26Changed how?
01:13:29Are you seeing someone?
01:13:33You know, Miguel, you know I don't sleep around.
01:13:36I'm no puta.
01:13:39So what is it then?
01:13:41Well, you know, Abba came here to become a dancer,
01:13:46and, you know, even though she tried really hard,
01:13:49she still gave up on her dream.
01:13:53And...
01:13:54And?
01:13:56Well, it reminded me about how I'd given up on my dream.
01:14:04And...
01:14:05And?
01:14:07Well, I've decided to start dancing salsa again.
01:14:12Oh, Jesus Christ, Rita, you have got to be kidding me.
01:14:16Why do I have to be kidding?
01:14:17You know, there's a saying in Puerto Rico,
01:14:20you know,
01:14:21La vida es muy corta para no vivirla.
01:14:23Well, yeah, life isn't too short not to live.
01:14:25I know the saying.
01:14:26Well, it's right, Miguel.
01:14:28Don't you remember?
01:14:29That's how we met.
01:14:32At the ballroom.
01:14:34And even though we only won second place,
01:14:37leaving with you was like winning the grand prize.
01:14:41Yeah, I remember.
01:14:42Those were the best times of my life.
01:14:45You know, that was then.
01:14:46This is now.
01:14:50Yeah, well, it's never too late to live your dream.
01:14:53Yeah, it's too late.
01:14:54It's too late when your dream is so far behind
01:14:57that it can hardly catch up to where you are right now.
01:15:00Look, Rita, when I was younger, I used to have dreams too, you know?
01:15:04But you know what finally woke me up?
01:15:06Needing a job woke me up.
01:15:08Having to pay bills woke me up.
01:15:10Needing a roof over my head and having to feed myself.
01:15:13That woke me up.
01:15:17Look, I've been there too, Miguel,
01:15:18but I've realized that money alone is not going to make me happy.
01:15:22Money can't bring you happiness,
01:15:23but it sure as hell can prevent you from starving to death
01:15:26while you're looking for so-called happiness.
01:15:28Real happiness is not found on the outside, Miguel.
01:15:31It's found on the inside.
01:15:33And the only way to find it
01:15:34is by living the truth that is on the inside.
01:15:37Are you listening to yourself?
01:15:39Jesus, I'm sure you've changed.
01:15:42You sound like a philosopher or something.
01:15:43And what's wrong with that?
01:15:44What's wrong with that?
01:15:45I'll tell you what's wrong with that.
01:15:46It's not realistic.
01:15:48That's what's wrong with that.
01:15:49Look, Rita, please.
01:15:53Don't miss this opportunity.
01:15:54For just once in your life, please don't mess this up.
01:15:58Don't mess this up, huh?
01:15:59Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Businessman.
01:16:02You come here with your tired-ass apology
01:16:04and your cheap-ass flowers,
01:16:05talking about how the old Miguel was fired.
01:16:08He wasn't fired.
01:16:09He was on vacation.
01:16:10And now he's back with his macho, manly attitude,
01:16:14a place for everything and everything in its place,
01:16:17including women.
01:16:19Well, yeah, that's their place, but by the man's side.
01:16:21Yeah, by his side, not on the lease, like a pet.
01:16:25Just because you gave up on your dreams
01:16:27doesn't mean I have to give up on mine.
01:16:29Not for you, not for money, not for anybody or anything else.
01:16:32You can all go to hell.
01:16:36So it's like that, huh?
01:16:38Just like that.
01:16:41I see.
01:16:43Why don't you see yourself to the door?
01:16:47Get some Rita.
01:16:49Forget it, Miguel.
01:16:51Just leave.
01:16:53And while you're at it, take your cheap-ass flowers with you.
01:17:01All right.
01:17:02If that's the way you want it.
01:17:08Hey!
01:17:09Don't forget to take-
01:17:10Yeah, I know, my cheap-ass flowers, right?
01:17:30What was I thinking?
01:17:45Don't forget to leave.
01:17:48Don't forget to leave.
01:17:49No.
01:18:01Don't forget to leave.
01:18:05Don't forget to leave my friends
01:18:06Also, don't forget to leave.
01:18:09You're so close to me, you're so close to me.
01:18:41Please Rita, before you say anything, just hear me out for one minute.
01:18:46I just wanted to start by saying that you were right.
01:18:50You were right about everything.
01:18:52You were even right about me abandoning my dream for dancing, for what, for money?
01:18:59You know, you're the only one that can see right through me.
01:19:02The only one that can tell it to me like it is, and for that alone, I'll always love you.
01:19:08Miguel, please, please, please, let me finish.
01:19:12Thanks to you, I finally got a chance to wake up and realize that a real man is one that
01:19:21stands by his woman.
01:19:23So, I'm here, I'm ready to stand by your side.
01:19:27If you'll allow me, I'd like to be that man for you.
01:19:32Right here, right now, tonight, if you let me be your dance partner.
01:19:37Please, how about it?
01:19:44What?
01:19:46You couldn't stop and buy some cheap-ass flowers?
01:19:51What can I say, they were closed.
01:19:55Come on, let's go.
01:20:02Aren't those the same shoes you were wearing when we met?
01:20:06Yep, they're my lucky shoes.
01:20:08And those shoes, you don't look lucky, you look broke.
01:20:13You think?
01:20:14Come on.
01:20:15Nothing more.
