00:39Actually, you know what? Can you slide it away from the urn a bit? Yeah, I think that's it. Girls?
00:46How's that angle? Girls?
00:49Papi, it's a vase. Is one angle supposed to look better than the other?
00:53It's an urn, and your grandfather would have liked to have looked his best.
00:57Sorry, Daddy. It looks good. I like how the light's turning on the top.
01:02Yeah, Grandpa did love the sun.
01:04I couldn't ever get him to put on sunscreen or drink water. It's a wonder he lived 88 years.
01:09Did your dad get the card I sent?
01:11Papi, Mommy wants to know if you got the card she sent.
01:13I did. Tell her thank you.
01:15He said thank you.
01:17That's not how I said it. It was more thoughtful. Thank you.
01:24All right, everyone's going to start logging in soon. So, girls, let's get back to rehearsing.
01:39What is this? You started already.
01:43You can stop.
01:43I knew it. Guys, gun.
01:45No, we're rehearsing something for later.
01:49Chad, hey, Brayden, you look like a million bucks.
01:53It's all Rayna.
01:55Hi, ladies. You look lovely.
01:58Hi, Tia.
02:00They had your cousin.
02:01What's up? You guys get your, uh, stimulus packages yet?
02:05What is wrong with you?
02:07For some respect.
02:11Well, here we are, huh?
02:14I guess that's, that's Dad.
02:16Yeah.
02:17I was out in the yard yesterday and I thought how disappointed he'd be and how it all looks.
02:22It's so overgrown.
02:23We were his little weed detectives.
02:26Remember how excited he'd get when we'd pull one out, roots and all?
02:31Yes, he'd do that stupid dance.
02:34We're pulling weeds this weekend.
02:37I'm good.
02:39I can't believe I'm not there with him.
02:42We should all be there with him.
02:44Rayna, he's not there.
02:46I felt Mom at her service.
02:49Maybe it was the hundreds of people that were there to pay their respects.
02:53Whatever it was, it felt a lot better than this.
02:56This is unnatural.
02:58Please don't.
02:59I know it's strange, but people are finding a lot of comfort this way.
03:04Who's that?
03:07Hello, ma'am.
03:09My name is Dean.
03:10I'm a representative from the funeral home.
03:12I'm very sorry for your loss.
03:20Dad's secretary of 40 years doesn't get included until Dean gets a front row seat.
03:29That's because Sharon understood that we wanted to keep it small, and Dean is just doing his job, which he's
03:35probably very grateful to have.
03:36I am very grateful.
03:40Oh, so just let it be.
03:43Uncle Tony.
03:45Oh, Theo.
03:47Hi.
03:51He's muted.
03:54Oh, we can't hear you.
03:58He needs to click the microphone.
04:00The microphone.
04:01Click the microphone.
04:02Dad, write to him in the chat.
04:03No, that'll confuse him.
04:05It's a little box at the bottom.
04:07A picture of a microphone.
04:10Where is he going?
04:11Theo, why are you going under the desk?
04:13This is great, Miguel.
04:15It's like you said.
04:16Seamless.
04:20Oh, he said he can hear us.
04:22Okay, that's fine.
04:23It's fine.
04:23It's fine.
04:24Let's go.
04:24Let's get started.
04:26Without Santi.
04:27Haven't we bent enough for Santi?
04:30Dan, who died?
04:32I knew this was a bad idea.
04:34Santi, a little respect, please.
04:36Hey, brother, I'm just going off the program that you sent.
04:39You made it seem like a party.
04:41How'd you put it?
04:42They have it aqui.
04:44Mira de que a celebration of the human life cycle.
04:48A little woo-woo for Dad.
04:50At least we agree on something.
04:52The vest I could do without.
04:55Well, this is my only form of wear.
04:57You look like a caterer.
04:59It's because it's from our old catering days.
05:01Hey, Uncle Tony.
05:04What's going on?
05:05You guys muting Uncle Tony?
05:06No.
05:07He can't figure out the sound.
05:09That's perfect, man.
05:11Perfect.
05:11Did anyone try to help?
05:13No, he's just been sitting here pointing and laughing.
05:17His generation is having a more difficult time with all this.
05:20That's an understatement.
05:22And who's this crazy black guy who's talking to me?
05:26Yo, well, you know what?
05:27All I can say, at least Dad got out the old-fashioned way.
05:30Only you would romanticize our father's heart attack.
05:36He's wearing shorts.
05:37Okay.
05:39Here we go.
05:46Oh, my God.
05:53While this is not how any of us imagined we would be memorializing Dad...
05:58Santi did.
06:00Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:01This is my dream scenario for papi's funeral.
06:04Well, there was plenty of time to do this properly before the world caved in.
06:08Oye, nena, the NBA just canceled their season, pero you still think it would have been cool
06:15for me to hop on a full-ass airplane.
06:18My hats would probably still be stuck there.
06:20Pero you know what?
06:22Mira, as long as la princesa reina got her way, then poof!
06:26All I wanted was to have a beautiful service for our father in a church with a priest.
06:33Not whatever this is on the internet con Dean.
06:35Wow, a priest?
06:37Un cura.
06:39Man, that's classic.
06:42You probably believe that we're all going to be raring to go by Easter, huh?
06:46Oh, can we just move past this?
06:50Girls, seriously?
06:51The phones?
06:52Sorry.
06:55All of this negative energy is a distraction.
06:58A distraction from what's real.
07:00And what's real is that we have lost our patriarch.
07:05One of the silver linings in this pause time is that it's giving us mental space to reflect.
07:13I've been going through a lot of old photographs.
07:16Flipping through a lot of memories.
07:18Some good, some not so good.
07:21I don't know if I'm looking for comfort or answers.
07:26Maybe the truth.
07:27I'm getting to that, Santi.
07:29Getting to what?
07:30The truth of who dad really was.
07:36Papi's gone, Reina.
07:38You still going to live in denial or what?
07:43Miguel, we all agreed on how this was going to go.
07:46¿Verdad?
07:48Un poquito de discreción, por favor.
07:51You mean lies.
07:52I mean remembering our father the way our mother would have wanted.
07:56Yeah, and also es padre, el hijo, y el espíritu santo también, ¿verdad?
08:01Is there something wrong with that?
08:02Well, we're bringing the Catholic Church into it?
08:05Um, yeah, there is.
08:07Please.
08:11Stop interrupting, you guys.
08:13Tell her.
08:18What I wanted to say was, dad.
08:23What is this?
08:25I don't know, man, but it's amazing.
08:28Move on!
08:30Dean, I didn't order.
08:32I...
08:33Oh, dear.
08:34A drink, you knew it.
08:35You have to put the bombers in a waiting room.
08:38In a waiting room.
08:40How do I do that?
08:41Stop recording.
08:42Mom.
08:43Go to settings.
08:44What do I do that?
08:44Okay.
08:45Click in meeting.
08:47Okay.
08:49A drop down menu.
08:50Drop...
08:51Okay.
08:52Click waiting room.
08:54Okay.
08:56What?
09:05This is why we suggest the gold package.
09:09Oi, Imana, you didn't spring for the gold package?
09:11I thought a password would be confusing.
09:15So...
09:16This memorial was so much worse than I imagined, and I imagined pretty bad.
09:24No, no, no.
09:25No, no, no.
09:25Aina, where are you going?
09:27It was just a little hiccup.
09:29A hiccup?
09:31People were dirty dancing at our father's funeral.
09:34I think they call it twerking.
09:37You are such a child.
09:39Yeah, and you are such a uptight...
09:42See how I used discretion there?
09:44All right, stop.
09:45I think we all just...
09:48We just need to take a deep, cleansing breath.
09:54Enough with the yogi act.
09:56Okay, Miguel?
09:57Yes, thank you.
09:58It's just another way for you to feel like you're superior to everyone else.
10:02Yeah, and it doesn't make us forget what an asshole bully you used to be.
10:05I am so sick and tired of you two selfish fuckers.
10:12There he is.
10:13Ahí está.
10:14Míralo.
10:14Really?
10:15There he is?
10:16You're coming for me now?
10:18Seriously?
10:19After I helped mediate this whole thing between you two idiots?
10:23After I helped mediate everything for years, and I stayed here with Dad, taking him to doctor's
10:29visit, holding his hand, going to Ruby's Diner every Friday, even though I despise that place.
10:39Oye, hermano, deep cleansing breaths, man.
10:43Let me tell you something.
10:44You two got to get away, and I stayed here.
10:48How about a little gratitude?
10:51Just a little bit.
10:52And by the way, all I want to say was that Dad was a proud individual, and he managed to
10:57raise three proud individuals.
11:07Pinche computadora, goddammit, to hell.
11:09Hey.
11:10We can hear you now.
11:11Oh, Tio, we can hear you.
11:13Tio.
11:17Well, that took a couple years off my life.
11:19Uh, this is why we suggest doing test runs.
11:22Thanks, Dean.
11:24You know, your dad was the tech guy.
11:26He always had the latest and greatest.
11:30Me, not so much.
11:32But, um, sorry.
11:37Look, I wrote a thing here.
11:44But maybe I'll just wing it.
11:51Julio Villarreal was the love of my life.
11:57Grandpa was gay with his brother?
12:01No, dummy.
12:01Uncle Tony's not a real uncle.
12:03We just call him that.
12:06Now, I know that's no surprise to any of you.
12:09Well, most of you.
12:10Not that we ever talked about it.
12:12Our love was complicated.
12:16And, Reina, I get wanting to keep Julio's funeral uncomplicated.
12:23Not being completely open with you guys caused Julio a lot of pain.
12:33But we should put that pain to rest today, too.
12:38He loved you all.
12:40And he knew that you loved him.
12:43That's what we should focus on today.
12:52I remember you as a little girl, all ruffles, skipping along with him to church,
12:58como, como una pequeña Celia Cruz, ¿verdad?
13:01¿Recuerdas?
13:05Your strength intimidated him sometimes.
13:09Pero tu corazón es puro.
13:15And he knew that.
13:20Santi.
13:21Always jumping in head first.
13:24Which meant a lot of visits to the ER, ¿verdad?
13:28Yeah.
13:29How many broken bones?
13:30Oof.
13:32Twelve?
13:34Twelve.
13:38Santi.
13:40Your nature was as much a mystery to him
13:44as it was an inspiration.
13:50Miguel.
13:52Firstborn.
13:54Right foot forward, this guy.
13:56Pero tu papi, he knew you as...
13:59a defender, not a fighter.
14:02Now, the Buddhist stuff, he wasn't so sure about.
14:07But one day,
14:08he said to me, he said,
14:11Miguelito is happy.
14:13He's lighter.
14:15He...
14:16He smiles and laughs.
14:18And he takes good care of me.
14:26I'm a lucky man.
14:35I miss him...
14:38very much.
14:48Oof.
14:49Wow.
14:52Look at me.
14:54Talking on the internet and crying.
14:56Your dad wouldn't recognize me today.
14:59Um, I'm...
15:02Um, that's all I got.
15:06Uncle Tony.
15:12I'm sorry for your loss.
15:15Yeah.
15:17Um, did he ever mention which one of us he loved
15:20like the most most?
15:24That's okay.
15:25You don't have to say...
15:26not.
15:43Tony.
15:44When it opens back up,
15:46let's...
15:46you and I
15:47have a date at Ruby's.
15:49I want to go to Ruby's.
15:51Yeah, me too.
15:52You know I'll be there.
15:54It's a date.
15:57It's a date.
16:23It's a date.
16:26It's perfect.
16:27And everything else it takes to do
16:29to keep in between.
16:38People trylist and trylist and trylist
16:42because I owe them an interview.
16:42And all because I'm sorry.
16:43It's be fun.
16:44How...
16:45Oh...
16:46Come.
16:47No hay que llorar, la vida es su carnaval, y las venas se van cantando, oh, ay, no hay que
16:57llorar, la vida es su carnaval, es más que yo vivir cantando.
