I don't know what's more shocking,

that he's dead or that he finally

got me a ticket to Colombia.

- You've never been?



- When I was a baby, I guess.

How's your Mom, and is it Bill?

- Yeah.

- I never know whether to
call him your dad or Bill.

- Yeah, he's good.

Everyone's good.

How's your aunt?

- Fine, I guess.

So you do know my mom died?

- Yeah.

- I just didn't know if
you got briefed on that.

- Yeah, a long time ago.

- Cool, I just didn't know if you knew.

Usually someone reaches out
with like a card or something



when someone's mom dies.

- Sorry.

Sorry, I was like 13.

- You were 15.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Could I actually bum one?

- It's the last one, I'm sorry.

- It's cool, I don't really smoke just.

You look good.
- Yeah?

- I like the beard.

It's a good beard.

I guess I didn't get the beard gene.

Watch.

I can do rings sometimes.

- Very good, for a non-smoker.

- Well, I am a drinker.

I'm also really good at lying to myself.

- I know what that's like.

(laughing)

- You have the same laugh as
when you were a little kid.

Do you want to go get
some flowers for grandma?

a program called STARS,

Students Today Aren't Ready for Sex.

until I was like 17.

Seems pretty safe.

Don't you feel safe here, I feel safe.

math, I'm not gonna lie.

- The gynecologist came, he made a test,

of the placenta.

The placenta was a little bit old,

a little bit, just one week old.

So, bring the baby through the,

going through the normal
delivery will make her suffer.

So he decided that

she will go through the
C section, immediately.

Okay, okay.

Yeah e tu, yeah I can see it in your face.

Your C section face.

I'm just joking.

But the world helps you.

The gynecologist, the nurses, the place.

This is something.

I know that someone in our
family knows what that is.

I think I know that picture.

That's just outside of
Cali about 15 clicks.

You ever been to Cali?

- Yeah yeah, I've been

Oh my God, no no no no no.

We have like a finca.

- Trust me boys, go to Cali.

- Holy shit.

Thank you man.

What are you drinkin'?

(in foreign language)

- You open the drawer,

there's four or five
different sets of keys,

and they're different colors,

and there's different wear and tear,

and there's different usage.

There must be a purpose for them,

there must be a reason they're there.

I mean I kept 'em for some reason.

Tell you what, beats
the popoyana out of me.

(laughing)

I love saying that.

Popo means shit here.

Beats the popoyana--

(laughing)

What does it say?

And I don't know.

Eventually, you just go well,

double date in Cali tomorrow.

one of dad's girls huh?

- Yep.

They were childhood sweethearts, though.

Just like never got over it, you know.

Funny, you can go through
so many relationships

and still go back to the same person.

- She's got two daughters you said?

And they're both hot?

- Yeah man, they're both hot.

Both really hot.

I sort of had a thing with Costanza.

- [Dion] What's the other one's name?

(muffled speaking)

- Chantal.

- You think Chantal would like the blue,

or would she appreciate the green?

- I'm gonna say blue.

- All right.

- Is this too much hair gel?

- No, no you look good.

(Spanish pop music)

- So I look okay?

- Yeah, you look fine.

Put the gel away.

- Remember, we're not gonna talk.

- What?

- We're not gonna hang out or anything.

I don't think she knows that dad died.

- What?

- I don't think she knows that dad died.

So if your awkward, there's
plenty of gel in my hair.

- [Woman] Ola!

How are you?

- Ed.

Colombia,

- Yeah, yeah the dancing is great.

I'm excited to dance, yeah.

- And you are dancing?

- A little bit, you know.

You know, salsa, whatever.

- No.

- No, no.

- A blood vessel burst in his liver.

I'm sorry.

I didn't really want it
to come out this way.

I'm really sorry.

(sobbing)

- [Dion] I didn't want to say
anything, but our dad died.

I'm sorry.

(Bruni crying)

(crickets chirping)

(sentimental instrumental music)

(laughing)

(soft orchestral music)

- [Ed] Hi.

- Ed!

Come here.

- How are you, Tia?

- But I'm happy to see you.

- He was working in this office in Chicago

doing some, I don't know,

weird programming thing that he does,

and he said he had this coworker

who was this Indian man,
this guy from India.

- Yeah.

- And the guy would say,

Gabriel, the way you talk about women,

is how I feel about food.

(laughing)

- That's funny, I remember that because

because he would say, oh yeah Dion,

women are like curry.

You should try every flavor.

(laughing)

- Oh my God.

You try to stay completely serious,

and we try to make you laugh.

That will be a game, okay.

Let's start.

Okay but you have to look at it.

(humming)

(laughing)

Now, he's the next one.

- Okay.

- He's got to be serious.

I mean your father was never serious,

you have to be serious.

You start.

- Hey booboo.

- Come on Cali boo.

(laughing)

- Merci boucou.

(laughing)

Now you try to make me laugh.

- Oh you're so serious, look at you.

So respective.

(in foreign language)

Oh here I am just for funsies.

You look like a turtle on vacation.

(laughing)

- Do you ever look at your
penis, and be like, weird.

My penis is aging.

- What do you mean?

- I looked down at my penis just now,

and I could tell that it was aging.

Like I just felt like my penis is aging.

You know what I mean?

- Yeah.

- [Ed] So,

do you think this place
is our inheritance?

- God, I hope so.

- I cannot describe it to you where it is,

because it's part of the soul.

Part of your soul, part of your soul.

Part of mine.

- So you've never been there?

- No, I've never been there,

but my goal is to go there.

And I stay there, I
don't want to come back.

I want to stay there.

I want to stay there with the two of you.

(laughing)

Father Gabriel, he's in Medellin.

It's a great place.

- Yeah.

- The boomer (muffled speaking),

please watch out.

Colombian boomers

are very very very cute.

They're really attractive.

And they attract your soul.

Come on, come.

(laughing)

- Is this your house?

- No.

- Is this our father's house?

- No.

Al Camilla belongs to the whole family.

The whole family.

(birds cawing)

(wind blowing)

When I was little, and Gabriel was little,

we saw my father hitting my mother.

And, Gabriel he started to laugh.

It was very painful for us,

because, in a way, he was a father,

and he say he loved us.

It really affected Gabriel.

He couldn't give enough
love to his children,

and he couldn't be completely responsible,

because he was keeping a
lot of anger inside of him.

So, you need to forgive your
father, you need to forget.

We came with a mission to this life.

Our mission is to give love,

to forgive, not to try to find perfection.

There is nobody perfect,

but we need to love.

- He wasn't perfect, but I loved my dad.

- [Tia] Thank you for telling me that.

Thank you for telling me that.

Oh shit.

Sorry guys.

- It's hard to accept something

that's shoved down your
throat, day in and day out.

- I don't know, it just seemed like

it was part of the thing.

I didn't know if we were supposed to.

- It's not part of my thing.

(birds chirping)

(in foreign language)

(wind blowing)

(eerie electronic music)

- He's dead, he's dead.

He's dead.

(muffled speaking)

(Tia muffled speaking)

- Who are you?

(dramatic Spanish music)

- Why do you live your life in fear?

- Why do you always chew
with your mouth open?

- That's not

what I'm talking about.
- It's really grating.

I'm talking about you're always

hesitating.
- It's really grating.

Really, really grating.
- Always hesitating.

Okay, I don't care.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- What are you talking about?

- When you speak Spanish,

it's like you're always
apologizing for yourself.

- Well, my Spanish isn't--

- Dude, you speak Spanish.

- It's not my fault my three-year-old self

stopped speaking Spanish
after moving away from my dad.

- No, it's not your fault.

But you can recognize how
fuckin' out of bounds it was,

for your mother to take you and put you

in that situation where you--

- No warning, no goodbye, no nothin'.

You don't think that hurt dad?

You don't think he talked about that shit

like every day when I loved with him?

Huh?

I mean, I know you love
your mom, I know you do.

But that's never gonna be okay.

- Okay, well I apologize for her.

- We got Bill's,

do you call Bill dad?

- No.

- It's okay if you do, I'm not judging.

- No.
- It's okay if you do.

- I don't.

- More of a father figure
than dad ever was, really.

- Are you mad at me?

- No, I'm not mad,

I just want you to speak Spanish

and wake the fuck up, you know?

I mean dad's dead, we're in Colombia,

this is our blood.

It's never gonna fuckin'
happen again in our lives,

so just appreciate this shit, you know?

I mean where else do
you gotta be right now?

What's your problem?

- My problem is I don't want
to fucking get a Speedo.

- Who not man?

Speedos are great.

- I'm not getting a Speedo.
- You want to see one?

Have ever been in one?
- No.

- Then what do you have to lose?

Just try out a Speedo.

- I'm glad that your agenda.

- My agenda, I have an agenda now?

What are you scared of?

Huh?

- We're fiddle-fucking
around in Cartegena.

- We're not fiddle-fucking around.

(Spanish jazz music)

I'm enjoying myself.

- Well good, that makes one of us.

- What, you don't want to get Speedos?

- No, I don't want

to get Speedos.
- Why not?

- Because we're just
fiddle-fucking around.
