Rolling Elvis (2015) - full transcript

A premonition

That dream was like a premonition

my intuition was telling me …

That I shouldn't go to school that day.

The best thing to do...

was to stay home to watch the Tour de France live

I was sure mom would understand...

but just in case, I had a great excuse.

Get out of bed Mister. it's getting late.

And if they call me from school again

I'll ask your dad to go himself
to the principal office.



You hear me?

Mom…

my belly hurts a lot…

I have a fever...

Hot flushes...

What an Actor!
I deserve an Oscar!

I think I'm infected with the menopause.

That virus was, according to my Aunt,

... going around our family.

Well, you're not staying here to watch T.V…

I said up, quickly! Breakfast is ready.

Parra moves ahead...

the colombian is getting away...

the spaniard can't reach him.



Parra, the colombian, is leader of this stage...

Two consecutive stages won, one after the other...

Lucho Herrera's win yesterday, and Parra's today...

it's for me...

tell Lucho I'm coming

The winner of the race could be a Colombian

that will make the second win in a row…

Have you found anything out?

The Colonel has not come out of his quarters.

Have you seen
any women around?

Good

In 1985, the national team victories
in the tour de France…

made Cycling more popular than Football
in the whole country

And of course,
my school wasn't the exception.

Riding a bicycle was the new craze there too.

As for me,
I was a very independent thinker

never got influenced by trends, cool stuff
or advertising tricks

Hey cousin!

Hi cuz

is that your new bike?

Yeah, brought straight from Paris.

It's sweet, can I ride it?

No ahhhh

what if you fall and break it?!

Well I'll give you mine then.

Nah cousin, yours is so old
and broken

-We'll remind all students that the sign up list

for the talent show will be closing today
at Mr. Cardona music room

Singing in public?

No way jose...
I'm not that crazy!

who the heck would be
so dumb to volunteer…

to be made fun of
in front of the whole school.

Hey cuz, are you also signing up?

Also?

Also?

Yep!

I have my act prepared…

… and with this jacket

I'll be the most original of all.

Super Original!

Alright there Cousin

to begin with…

Michael Jackson is not white and…

he never will be…

Never!

Besides, You're way too pale…

to look like him…

Whatever

I have my act ready

and you could compete too.

C'mon Cuz, be realistic

I decided to be a cyclist.

Professional Cyclist

… or be the MVP of a big football team.

Winner of a World Cup

… my third backup plan: commander
of the first space shuttle to mars…

You know what?

It's your loss…

Mr. Cardona has a big T.V.

and after practice

he'll let us watch …

whatever we want.

now hold on…

Mr. Dumbo-Ears with…

… a Big T.V. screen…

ten in the morning…

...The Tour de France…

Wait up Cuz!

So how do I sign up?

Be quiet kids

Since we're going to be on break

I will assign the biology project.

It consists of the germination of a bean.

You will grab a jar

fill it up with water

cover it with cotton

and place the bean on top.

Then write a report for the whole process

oh yeah, Also..

the kids performing on the talent show

can go to Mr. Cardona's music room.

... he will be waiting at ten o' clock

... remember you should have a song
ready for rehearsal

hey Pelvis, Elvis Pelvis Sing us a song

sing Pelvis

Fat Elvis!

not, better Fat Pelvis!

Move your Pelvis, Elvis Epidermis!

here comes again....
all the jokes

it was my mom's fault…

She insisted in naming me Elvis...

and I hated it

I would rather be named

Rambo Steven Vandame…

like my dad wanted

How great Elvis Antonio!

You're in the talent show?

A little white lie never hurt no one...

No, no...

I just need to go to the restroom.

Go ahead but don't take long.

Detective -
- Lawyer

In my school, the music class was full

of nerdy unpopular kids

... so I need to sneak out pretty quickly

to keep my good reputation

... or whatever was left of it

but to watch the race live on T.V.

… worthed the risk

Just as we say in the professional field

this operative spilled positive results.

So... Did you find out the name of the woman?

well… mmm…

it's ahh--- it's not just really one...

You're telling me, several women?

I'm sorry... I can't tell you that

You know...

our job has a high labor cost...

...in man-hours.

but in this envelope...
I have all the photographs

Are we good?
or you want to count it first?

How dare you say that?

Darling, I trust you completely.

I suppose it is worse...

than you imagined.

Would you like to have a drink?

to kill the pain…

When a door closes...

another one opens, sweetie

Would you shut your mouth please?

Cousin…

Cousin!

Come here!

Hurry up!

Move!

What's going on?

Where is the T.V.?

It's in the utilities room

but Mr. Cardona

won't let us watch until practice is over.

They are almost there,
150 meters from the finish line.

flags everywhere, people moving around…

Fabio Parra and Lucho Herrera,
100 meters from the finish line.

Come on! Faster… Lucho..

Watching that race was the most exciting
moment in my life…

Yes… Yes, We Won.. Yeah!!

....And it lasted just five seconds…

Elvis! What are you doing in here?!

why are you outside your classroom?

Uh-oh...

This is not your classroom!
Tell me, What are you doing here?

here comes the peloton...
racing to the finish line

25 ... 26.. 27 second behind...
they arrived, lead by Matt Mariott

This is quite a serious situation young man

I cannot believe this, Elvis

How could you walk out of class

to go watch T.V.

Good Lord.

I did not skip class.

Technically... I didn't

I went out to go to the talent show practice.

But Mr. Cardona says
you didn't even sign up.

Well I changed my mind
after seeing so much talent in there…

That means you're not going to participate.

No human power...

could make me to go up on that stage...

since you're not going
to participate in the show,

that means you walk out of class
to watch the T.V.

I will have to send you home

and you'll be suspended for the week.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

No. No, Dear Principal.

You cannot suspend him

because he will participate
in the talent show.

Am I right?

No mommy!

I don't have a good ear for music like Mr. Cardona.

Elvis Antonio!

How rude… Good Lord.

But mommy, I'm not
making fun of my teacher's ears.

No, really!

Enough!

I can't sing in front of the whole school!

I'm not a nerd.

Time to use logic to persuade my mom

And what's dad gonna say about this?

He hates all kinds of singers and artists.

And I don't even know how to dance.

What about my rhinitis, huh?

I won't be able to sing nice.

but I'm keeping my dignity and I won't beg, Mother

Mom please forgive me!

I will never skip class again.

and I'll start with the science homework right now.

I promise I won't do it again...

I don't want to dance...

I didn't know what my mom was planning..

but looking at the souvenirs from her honeymoon

calmed her down quite a bit

she kept them in the attic

...where they hid the stuff
they didn't want me to see

not knowing I had already seen it

My dad took my mom to Vegas
for her wedding gift

they had a great time...

wasted a lot of money...

took a bunch of photos...

but the dummy lost the photos,

and now they don't speak about it
at home at all…

it was the first time I saw that jewelry box

it was the first time I saw my mom
so excited for an object

oh no!... Elvis Presley, my karma

gee, how ugly...
they used to dress back then

I shouldn't have gone to school today

now I'm paying the price for it.

Nothing that can't be fixed
with some needle and thread

nothing that can't be fixed
by running way from here

You look so cute on...

...that bellbottom jumpsuit and that collar!

No… Please mother, no pictures… no pictures

…I said, no pictures…

Ready Elvis?

no pictures mom!

see?

You know what's coming now?

We're going to dance!

Where are you going?

no mother…
I don't want to this... I don't !

this is old farts music

well...

Keep on practicing.
I'll be right back.

practice this?
I'm growing old already!

No way!
I don't want to do this

What's this?
... WHAT IS THIS?!!!!

Control that foot,
Elvis, stop moving your feet!

You don't like this music…
This is not your style

Stay Still
Stop!

...you can't do this in public…

...or worse, in front of the whole school…
NO!!!!

… but alone, in my room...

it was different...

the rhythm was contagious...

I was even having fun…

... and for an instant…

just for a very short instant...

I closed my eyes and…

I began to enjoy it.....

Where did you get this music from?

Huh?!

You're getting all fruity or what?!

I've never seen my dad so mad

Look at yourself!

when a parent is like that
you have to stare at the chin.

All this bullshit is not for men!
you understand?

so you don't laugh

what is wrong with you Alfredo?

You can't just come home...

and let off your frustrations on the kid!

You understand me?

Well, That's just perfect,

keep on spoiling him like that
and watch how he's going to end up.

You know what I think?

That you and that catholic school...

are going to turn my son into a faggot!

Who do you think you are?

gosh... You don't have the moral authority

... to give this kind of orders
in this home

Answer me!

I don't want faggots in my house.

Now you listen to me!

From tomorrow on,

you will be going to the military academy.

same school where the president´s and the
Minister of defense's kids go.

You understand me now?

So it's just about that, right?

Only about your career, isn't it? It's always about it.

You used my dad, then you used me.

Now you're using the kid!

Shame on you!

for all the low stuff you've done. You hear me?

I did not force you to marry me.

You married me because you wanted it so!

You always....

Always! do whatever the hell you please!

Yes, if I married you,

it was because I needed a real man.

I only want you to be a good mother

To be a good housewife, but no!

You think I'm dumb?

You think I don't remember things well?

At that moment...

… I didn't know where to go...

… I just wanted to be ...

...as far as I could from home...

…To go as fast as I could on my bike…

that's when I found out...

that life could change
in just a blink of an eye

twelve year old boy with polytrauma

Doctor!

We have a twelve year old...

... polytraumatized patient.

he has bruises and scrapes

His vital signs are stable.

Nurse, let's prepare for D.R.E.

… And just when I thought
things couldn't get any worse…

Dr. BigFinger decided to do a final test

If I had felt what
he was doing to me….

...I would've ran far away from that hospital

Well the good news are that your son
has no fractures in the region.

but it's just an inflammation right?

So.... Could we just take him home now?

I don't know well…

But can he go back to school for example?

It may be too soon to say that.

We'd have to wait at least
two months and observe his development.

See if there are any complications.

Now hold on for a moment,

complications?

The thing is...

... that from the bellybutton down,
the boy can't feel anything.

At least for now.

Oh no.

Doctor is...

is there anything that can be done?

Well you can put this in the front of the car.

For convenience I mean.

You can park closer

it will be easier to carry him.

and If you have any problems with the permit...

As if the police stops you for anything

you can call me.

Here is my number.

I'm available for you twenty-four seven.

Be assured I will call you doctor.

Nop

you can better arrange that
with my secretary.

my secretary.

Thank you.

After my first prostate exam...

The rest of the exams were less intrusive...

I would say... probably more safer too.

As my doctor used to say...

a little bit of radiation once in a while...

...can't hurt anyone

Well

he stopped saying it two years later

when he started losing his hair

You want to go out for a bit?

C'mon my love, why not?

We can go out and you try the wheelchair,

and we can see how you do, huh?

I don't want to get on that thing.

Look, Elvis!

Lucho Herrera is the leader!
See that?

But he rides a different bicycle

with the wheels in front and back,
not side to side

Look it's your cousin!

Look who's here!

Your aunt and your cousin!

Hi love!

Hi auntie

Go ahead love place that right there.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

My dear...

Stay here and watch some T.V.
with your cousin for a bit…

While we go grab a coffee, alright?

This wheelchair is sweet!

no... I don't want to leave Elvis alone

You cannot break down
like that in front of the kid.

You have to stay strong, ok?

He spends hours and hours
in front of that window…

As if he wanted to jump...

I don't know what to say

Janeth...

I'm going to leave Alfredo.

But why?

He's in the Army

A military man like dad.

Hey Cuz, look

Lucho Herrera fell down!

Does it hurt?

Nah.

I don't feel a thing.

It's only uncomfortable.

Unconfortable?

Yeah, they treat you like a….

Like a cripple?

Ladys and Gentleman...

my cousin... the diplomat

Like a baby...

That they treat you like a baby.

They feed me like a baby...

They give me baths like a baby.

They even change me
into a diaper like a baby…

But, there are good things also.

come...

closer...

One of the nurses...

...is so pretty.

And I speak to her very quietly.

So she has to get close to me.

then, I can see her boobs

Ohhhhh

... I also have a special plate.

and anything you put inside of it,

tastes like roasted chicken.

Now that, I don't believe you.

Seriously!

Look, it's right over there.

It looks so strange.

Well, it has that shape
to retain the flavor.

Why is it dirty?

That's because I've used it already.

C'mon, pour some juice in
and give it a try.

I didn't know if my cousin
was that silly, gullible or so dumb…

… Or if he simply wanted
to give me a good laugh…

Try it.

when Elvis gets off the hospital,

we'll stay at mom's house for a couple of weeks.

You want me to take Sebas there?

yes?

I'll take him when he gets off school

so he can be with Elvis.

What do you think?

Alright, thank you.

Sebastian!

Elvis Antonio!

You crazy one.

How's my favorite artist doing?

Waiting for you my love!

I'm okay.

What did you say my little prince?

I didn't hear you very well.

I wish I were that mole…

I'm doing okay.

Since my boy doesn't want
to ride the wheelchair yet..

And well there is nobody to take him
to the bathroom at night…

We're going to have
to put on his little diaper.

Nothing like motherly intrusion
to kill such a romantic moment.

Mom, not now...

Don't worry doll,
I won't tell anybody.

Noooo!

Hey son, how're you doing?

He can't speak to you right now.

Don't you see we're getting him ready for bed?

Alright, but what do the doctors say?

Is he doing well?

Yes, he's doing fine.

But no thanks to you.

I have to remind you my dear...

it was your obsession

...sick obsession
what brought him here.

And I have to remind you… My love...

That it was your fault that he ended up here,

since you came into the house shouting like a madman.

He was just having some fun, Alfredo.

Having fun dressed up like a circus freak.

I should've burnt all
those things long time ago.

Specially!...

...that little gift you still
keep in that jewelry box.

My curiosity to know what my mom kept so secret
in that box was growing.

In that jewelry box there are more things

than what you ever gave to me.

Ok you two better get out.

You're not allowed to scream nor argue in here.

Go discuss your problems
somewhere else please.

I wanted to flee that place…

… To roll as fast as possible…

Then Suddenly, the wheelchair
became pretty fun to ride…

so I speeded up
and took over the place

It was at that moment...

...when I was having the most fun…

that I saw how fortunate I was...

despite my circumstances...

I realized that there were many folks...

… in worse situations than my own...

but they kept on fighting...

If those kids could...

Of course I could also
be able to make a full recovery…

If Lucho Herrera fell off his bike
and stood back up to win the race…

… I would also be able to stand up and walk…

I would be able to do it...

… Though not for now...

Elvis, my love! You're doing it
by yourself, how great!

Champion!

You're doing excellent!
Congratulations!

Look Antonio...

Your mom and I have made a decision.

And it's the best for us all...

If we give each other
some time off.

Yes my love...

we've considered that...

the best option for your recovery is…

that you and I go by ourselves to grandma's house

I'll come visit you every weekend, eh?

And hey!

I'll be calling you every night.

Two weeks later we packed my stuff…

… and we left the city…
to Grandma's house…

Of course I demanded...
no more diapers

Grandma's house was
abandoned since she passed away

Granny

she used to serve us hot cocoa and kingcake

that's where mom grew up with my auntie

A peaceful place on the countryside

far from any burger place.

Just be careful honey, be careful here

mom, I can do it myself

Does the phone work yet?

You're already waiting for a call?

Of course! I'm waiting for my dad to call me

No...

Well...

this one to the right...
is your grandma's room

I'll sleep there.

You can stay on my old bedroom.

it is over there

If you need anything you tell me.

ok?

I don't know why my mom brought
the damn pictures…

it was like pouring salt on a wound

Mom!

Love, what just happened?

are you ok?

What is this?

What's wrong with it?

This is a girl's room,
I'm not staying here.

But why not?
It's one groovy place, look!

I, myself chose the colors,
don't you like it?

No. This is a girl's room
and I will not stay here.

But how come?

Don't be so complicated, honey

We can paint it whatever color you like

then arrange your toys around later on.

not complicated.
I just don't want my cousin make fun of me

No. This is a girl's bedroom
and I'm not staying here.

I want to go with dad now!

Elvis Antonio, enough!
You're staying here.

Period!

No more discussions.

Mom hated things being dirty…

So that same day she began
to clean and organize the house…

Hello!

Mrs. Maria?

Yes, how's it going?

Fine and you?. I'm Rogelio.

Oh yes, it's a pleasure.
I was waiting for you.

Rogelio Torres, it's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hey freckles come here
say hi to the lady.

Hi.

Hello.

Please come this way.

William! Bring the wheelbarrow up here.

Well the idea is to place a ramp out here.

That way my boy can come down to the fields...

and come play with the animals.

Well if you need it done sooner
we can make it out of …

wood... could be

it will take us around…

...two days you'd say?

Well then, that's perfect.

This is your home. If you need anything,
I'll be inside with my son.

If you excuse me.

Freckles leave those tools there.
Tools are not for you

how can I make you understand?!

You should let Freckles help us ---

---Don't you get in this William!

Hey kid!

Do you want to come play
in the computer?

You have a computer?

Yeah.

Daddy can I go?

Go ahead, but don't touch anything.

What? You mad or something?

This freaking hooligan!

wanna take a beating?

Hey get back to work!

Is that girl your sister?

No, I don't have sisters.

Your girlfriend?

No, I don't have a girlfriend.

Dad says I'm too young to have one.

Plus he wants me to go to military school.

Then who's the girl in the picture?

That's my cousin Sebastian...

when he had long hair.

And does your mom allow you
to have a girlfriend?

Hmm?

Freckles is not your name right?

Nope.

No, my name is...

… Joooo....

… Joseph Mario.

Yeah, it's Joseph Mario.

Good thing you like to be called
Freckles.

How ugly are these clothes.

My mom likes men wearing things like that...

With long necks and bell-bottom pants.

So how do you play with this?

moving the stick and
the button.

This is so boring…

Then what do you want to do?

You want to go to the park
and meet my friends?

Sure!

C'mon, let's go.

Hello?

Hi love,

could you pass me the boy please?

I have great news for him

Look, he can't speak to you right now.

uhhh

Well, that's great.

I'm glad to hear that you guys
are enjoying your vacation.

You know?

When you come back home,
I'll have a phenomenal surprise for you.

Hey, Are you drunk?

or what's going on with your head?!

How can I make you understand that...

we are NOT coming back to you.

Alright then.

I will tell you about it,
but please don't tell my boy yet.

because I want to give
the surprise to him in person.

listen to me Alfredo...

We don't want, nor need,
anything from you!

So please leave us alone

Yes, yes of course! It's what you wanted.

The minister found us a spot
in the academy for Antonio. You Hear?

And you know what?

It's no problem that he's handicapped

Even better, they'll be installing... umm

... ramps

and wheelchair access throughout the school.

… And a bunch of other things

The best thing is that the project

will be inaugurated by the one and only...
our President!

isn't it great?

well... You'd be wasting your time.

isn't it great too?

Don't even try to show up around here!

Yeah. I'll see you two soon then, dear.

Do me a favor,

give my boy a big hug on my part...

as soon as he's back from the cinema

I love you.

Minister.

Thank you, thank you very much.

My wife is so happy.

she is left speechless.

I'm going to hit the white one.

Only the white one.

But there are like five white ones you dumbass.

There are three, ready

I don't know where Freckles is taking me…

but I hope his friends get here soon…

… Before those young delinquents come and
start robbing us all our stuff

Let's see if you can win next time.

we got him again.

Too late now...
They are coming

Hey there Freckles!

Freckles?

Hi Pedro.

So you found yourself a boyfriend?

No, he's reserved specially for you.

Well I leave him for your mommy.

Why not for your daddy.

No Arturo, you went too far

You don't mess with people's dead moms...

Shut your mouth you faggot.

Faggot your dad!

What the hell man!
My dad's your dad TOO, dumbass!

My bad...

my bad...

Well at least I'm not a fatso like you, that...

the priest had to use a pool for your Baptism

Well at least I'm not as skinny as you are,

that when playing hide and seek,
nobody is able to find you.

And when you poop, you wipe with dental floss…

these kids do know
how to insult each other…

Alright, alright you're done acting stupid?.

So where did you find Wheels?

My dad's building a ramp at his house.

Elvis invited me to play atari and
I invited him to the park.

Atari?!

That's sweet!

You should invite us to play!

Yeah c'mon!

Honestly, I don't think mom would
like the idea so much…

She is obsessed with cleanliness…

she even make me take a bath every day…

Yeah… We'll see...

I have to ask mom first.

She only lets me invite one friend at a time.

Well look,

you bri-- bring me in,

and these two wait outside

Oh wow

my little brother deserves it now.

you wheels, Hold onto these.

come on, come on bro,
you deserve your slapping

I'm starting to like these kids.

Oh you dumbass!

Dumbass!

You didn't remind me
that we have to go help dad!

True that!

Get on bike let's go!

Later Freckles
later Wheels!

Later Freckles!
Bye wheels

bye

It's Elvis!

Elvis Antonio!

Right on, Elvis-On-Wheels!

So what does their dad do?

He collects uh....

...scrap metal, glass,
bottles, paper, of everything.

There's no way...

Mom would definitely
not let them come into the house…

At least not wearing those clothes...

I have some hot coffee for you

Wow! Mrs. Maria.

Thank you so much.
You shouldn't have bothered ma'am.

No, My pleasure.
it has some sugar already.

Much appreciated

Some bread though?

But where's the bread?

Don't be rude man!

No, no...

We're good

Than you.

This is my dad's workshop.

But he doesn't like anyone to touch anything.

well, maybe just me

I only need the bathroom, quickly!

Over there.

You need me to help you?

No that's gay!
I can manage myself.

oh no no no no no no

I'm not going to sit my buttocks..

on that crapper

it looks like a public school toilet

look at it!

where is a diaper when you need one...

The only thing left was to
face this with dignity…

Freckles!

I swear Freckles,

if you tell anybody about this

I will never let you back into my house.

Don't laugh!
than You got the same thing too!

Woah it moved!

No it did not!

Yeah look, it moved!

No it didn't!

I think you should tell your mom
and the doctor, that it moved.

Are you mad?!
Nobody can know about this.

I want to go home now

No, Don't worry,

I won't tell anybody.

What's in there?

That's my mom's bedroom.

When she died, dad never slept again in there.

and packed everything.

plastic wrap?

who does wrap everything in plastic?

bed, desk, even the night table …

This was my mom.

really, who?

Your eyes and mouth look pretty alike.

Really?

You're the first to tell me that.

And when did your mom die?

Freckles! How man times have I told you
not to touch your mom's stuff?

Don't you see
this is a sacred place?

You're painting your face again?

Aren't you ashamed in front of your friend?

Oh man, go clean your face.
This is not a circus.

Oh and another thing,
about the tools…

You know they're not for you.
You could get hurt.

you better go home, son

It's late and I don't want
your mom to yell at you.

Freckles, please walk him home
and you come back here straight away.

You're supposed to clean the kitchen,
there are dirty dishes all over.

This kid does the dishes?

Go!

I don't even do my bed

good luck with the wrapping mister.
nice to meet you

Hey kid!

Hey kid!

my house is not that way!

my house it's over there

I'm not going to your house.

But your dad said to take me there.

I don't care about whatever
crap my dad said.

just go to your home.

maybe it was the circus comment his dad made...

Stop following me!
Go back to your house Now

But for a moment I identified with Freckles

we had things in common

I wanted to know him better

so I follow this kid everywhere

It's not my fault that I'm not strong like him nor Willie.

It's also not my fault that I'm this way.

I think that if I would've died
in place of my mom…

... dad would've been much happier.

What can you tell a friend when he says
something like that?

I didn't know how to cheer him up...

I wanted freckles to know
how special one can be…

But I didn't say a thing...

I come to watch the sunset here when I'm down.

You have to be
very careful of the ants though.

There's an colony of them by that tree.

We tried building a clubhouse under it...

But the ants made us leave.

Back away from there though,
it's dangerous.

What should birds feel when they fly?

Seriously,

you're too close to the edge!

How happy they must be...

And how quickly they move throughout...

You could fall.

Free, like the wind on their faces...

Just like when I rode my bike...

Why did you do that?!

You are just like my mom at the hospital

whenever I would look out the window

She thought I'd throw myself...

Did you ever think to throw yourself?

Of course not!

I was able to see a park,

where other kids were riding bikes and,

I liked to imagine myself
as one of them riding my bike.

Would you like to ride a bike once again?

Would you like to prove your dad

that you can be a big help at the workshop?

And Just at that moment,

we both got the same idea…

at the same time…

And that's how the most important
project of our lives began…

There was no time to waste...
We had to start right away…

So I'll see you tomorrow?

well, we'll start tomorrow …

Yeah, in the afternoon...

... around two

... so we can tell Pedro and Arturo

Alright, I'll also have to tell my mom beforehand.

Ehhh, so tomorrow...

...tomorrow afternoon it would be...

Hi Sweetheart

Cousin

Hey cousin, hi aunt.

you look so good

You too look good auntie

who´s that one?

him?

he´s a new friend, he´s showing me around

uhh

and he's your best friend now?
that quickly right?

I have to go

bye, see you tomorrow

Ok, bye

see you tomorrow

what are you doing tomorrow?

mom, I´ll be in my room

that kid is wierd

come cousin,
I have to ask you something

ok

what´s going on?

How Lovely the room you got cuz,

I really like the colors.

I guess you and my mom are ...

the only ones that like it.

Because I don't.

Hey cousin

you even brought the dish?

The chicken flavored one
from the hospital?

Yeah I did bring it

But come here.

Do you know why
my mom was, crying?

Solving this mystery...

would require intelligence, and high-technology tools.

Things that of course,
we didn't have.

Alright cousin, I'm arriving.

So you came to change
my mind about Alfredo?

But to be honest, throwing away

thirteen years of marriage is just dumb.

and make-up sex is so...

Ain't it good?

It's been a while...

since the last time we did anything.

Let's be honest,
the marriage was doomed ...

... since the first day.

Don't complain because...

in this day and age...

that a husband takes his wife
on their honeymoon

to see her platonic love, her idol,
that you don't see.

Obviously you don't see that.

You don't see that.

Basically, since...

Since he never did it.

There you go!

Elvis!

Enjoy yourself!

Hey dear

I'll go play for a bit, ok?

and then I'll find you.

That explains...
not having photos!

Awh Janeth.

Seriously…
the second best Elvis Impersonator In town?

Elvin!

Elvin...

You know what's even worse?

cousin, is like an Elvis Impregnator.

Elvis Impregnator?

What's that?

Let me get closer.

He spent all the money
on the casino.That cheap-ass.

An Elvis Impersonator?

Yes! Elvis Impregnator!

At least did he look alike,
gorgeous and all?

You sure you heard right?

I don't want to talk about this anymore.
Don't be so cruel.

Yes, an ELVIS IMPREGNATOR!

Hey!
What are you doing eavesdropping on us?!

Go back to your room NOW!

in the eighties...

mom's shoes had a killer aim

What happened?

They caught me.

My auntie could win a olympic gold medal

for shoe throwing

Search

Im-preg-na-tor.

Goodnight cousin.

Goodnight.

The mystery surrounding my parents' ...

honeymoon and the jewelry-box kept growing

time for me to investigate

I was going to do the dishes

before leaving...

But I'm in such a hurry honestly.

yeah, I can imagine.

I'll do that don't worry.

Mrs. Maria I can help you if you want.

No Freckles...

don't worry, it's all good
you keep on playing.

No, no worries

I usually do all the dishes at home

Ok?

Alright, I'll call you if anything.

don't worry

Drive carefully because
the road is…

They guy working for you,
is so good to look at.

Hey, you should invite him out.

A nail takes out another nail.

He's even got a kid that washes the dishes.

That kid seems a little confused, doesn't he?

Poor thing .

So you did notice that also, right?

He kind of moves funny and girly,
I don't know.

Hopefully that's not genetic,

'cause if so, you're screwed.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about this kid's dad

the father

Well it would be a waste of a man.

But look at that lovely smile.

Your inner dentist is coming out.

I'm checking out his chest instead.

Those thighs...

That ass...

Nooooo

I still like that lovely smile of his.

Or do you think that
I like men with yellow teeth?

Not ... but I like him

Of course,

that's why you studied
to be a tooth-puller.

Oh sure,
I love men with yellow teeth.

Silly,

now go.

Don't want to.

yes

Mrs. Maria where is the soap?

Yes dear,
let me give it to you.

What are we doing in the library
during school break?

that's annoying... seriously.

I only need to find a book.

Well we can wait out here then.

'cause dad's workshop has better books...

Stop being silly!
Come on.

back then, there was no internet

if one was looking for information...

one had to go to the library...

and request help
from the always nice and helpful…

librarian

well, hello there

umm, I'm looking for an
English-Spanish dictionary, ma'am.

And a book on bikes.

Reference books, to the right.

Just search the archives.

And with the number you go to the shelves.

And if I see you being rowdy,
I'll kick you out.

Hey there!

and you lads, Where do you think are going?

We come with them.

Yes ma'am.

you look familiar

I think I've seen you around already

Stealing and breaking into people's trash...

and making a mess

No, not us ma'am.

No, no, no, Ma'am, as far as I know...

we recycle things people throw away...

and that's not stealing

Go ahead.

But wait.

You two better wash
those dirty hands of yours first of all.

Before touching any
of my books in the library.

Careful I see you,...
stealing something.

I'll kick you out.

Then I will call the police on you.

Go ahead.

we need this..

But I've seen that one
at the workshop also.

dad talks about gears

look, look, this is a gear

that will work

I bet you can't spit and reach ...

the U in geography with a ball of paper.

there is no U in Geography!

Impregnate: to fertilize. To make a female pregnant

Impregnator: a person that gets the female pregnant

Elvis impregnator... so
Elvis Knocked Up my mom!

Now things began to make sense...

My dad wasn't my dad...

I'm sure I can reach it, not you though

You're too short-legged.

Oh you bet?

ok

But hold on, that's cheating, you are too close.

Go further back

Yeah, let's see from here.

come on... now

Wait, let me measure this.

yep, from there

yes, go now

Nah!

You hit it like a girl, right Freckles?

This is how it's done.

No, no, no...

Let me show you
how it's really done

Learn from the master.

That's disgusting!

Hey Arturo, that's so gross

Guys.. Look at it!

Oh its hanging!

You brads Quiet down!

I knew that it was you two.

You only come here to mess around...

To be a mess!

No ma'am, have a bit
more respect for me and my brother.

Bunch of hooligans!

we better get out of here

get the heck out of here!!

What was that? tell me what happened?

we have to go, move faster

hurry up, let's go to my house

troublemakers, delinquents !

Run, run!

Disgraceful hooligans!
I never want to see you all again in my library!

Hi there milady.

What are you doing around here?

How did you find out
about this place?

With high-inteligence extra work!

Just for a special client such as you.

I have some information
about your husband.

He's been bringing
company to your house.

Thanks a lot,
but I didn't ask you for this.

And I don't even understand
why you came here to give me this.

But my lady,
don't be like that.

please,
don't be like that.

You need a person,...

.... like me.

To take care of you.
And protect you.

To be tender to you,
if necessary.

I have...

a nice collection...

Of exclusive apple wines.

Some of cherry...

Would you by chance come to my house...

like... for a drink...

alone with me? my love

Noooo!

Don't be pretentious. Jeez

get out of my house, immediately

Well, How about a little kiss?

gimme a kiss sweetheart

For all the extra work.

No.. no.. no.. I won't give you anything! No!

I did all that work for you my love

Get away from me!

Let go of her!

Who the hell is this?

Disloyal, unfaithful!

Wait for me

Dad said we can pick up
anything we need

Really?

Yep, sure thing

But there is only trash here…

no wonder why you give it away.

it maybe trash for you buddy

but when we pick it up,
separated and organize it---

it can became new cars,
houses, clothing... and so on..

---shut frog-face I was doing the explanation

you´re the frog face
so ugly mom uses your photo

to scare the roaches away our home

really? when we go to the movies
Freddy Krouger is the one ..

... having nightmares with your face!

cut it out.. cut it out
stop the silly flights

let´s just split and start picking up
before you both end up grounded

I will get the Wheelbarrow

go ahead..
start bring things

will this work?

yeah, that´s the one we saw
at the library

That looks like his buggers

it's greener than the phlegm

What are you guys talking about?

why did you laugh at the library?

because of the phlegm

it was disgusting!

gross!

I got a bad cold
so I split a phlegm

careful.. careful

ouhh I missed it!

Now seriously, do you really think
we can build something with that?

Looking back at it,

my cousin skepticism was well founded

But...

we had a plan

A dream

A mission

A vision

A Goal to reach!

So... we started working and used...

all our Ingenuity...

Skills...

experience...

… strength ...

… abilities ...

… and agility…

And at the end...

after many hours of work…

lot of Sweating and
many bottles of thirst-quencher soda

We accomplished it...

We built the ugliest,

...most dangerous
bicycle in the world…

Who's going
to be the first to ride it?

It's you cousin.

I told you guys, the foot pedals
would move by themselves.

Look, it's right there.

Are you sure is ready?
do we got everything we need?

yeah, we are good

and his feet? we have to do something.

Well, stop now

Yep, ready wheels?

Now tie up his feet.

Tie them up tight,
just in case he falls.

You're not even cutting
the tape right, please…

do it right!

it's taking forever!

let it like that.
Hurry up

well, All good brother?

It's your time.

it's now or never

Careful!

Control the steering handlebar.

Watch out!

It worked!

Yeah it worked!

It worked!

He's down!

Fall down!

Are you okay?

Does anything hurt?
Should I call your mom?

Nah,

I'm good.

This has been the most
exciting thing I've done for awhile.

Thank you.

Hey, you two

since when you care
so much about Wheels?

See what you just did?
You almost killed my cousin!

Calm down!

Calm down, Sebas!

That was fun!

We gotta do that again.

Yeah, but with that bike?

We have to fix it up.

We'll need to weld all parts firmly.

cause the string doesn't hold.

But will your dad let us
to go into the workshop?

Just remember how he is

whenever we go in without his permission!

Well, my dad will never find out

if we convince William to help us.

Wheels, ...

...are your legs not itching?

No, I don't feel anything.

are you sure?

Don't you see
that my cousin can't feel his legs?

Can't you feel the ants biting you?

Ants?

What ants?

Quickly, we gotta take off his shorts!

you Perv...
want to undress him now?

No! of course no,
shut up and help him

ok, ok, chillax

look how many ants he has..

this leg is almost done...

check his socks too

Alright there.

Now... I can feel them!!!

They're biting!
They're biting ME!

Don't be a wuss!
We took all the Ants off already.

Didn't you say you don't feel your legs?

Not my legs,
but my balls!

I'm not helping with that!

sure you can..

Arturo stop laughing!

come on guys!

I laugh if I want to

Help me!

but what can we do?

Just shake your balls really hard!

Do you really think I should
go out with him?

it is like going to fast..

But he already said yes,
so why worry about it?

You just enjoy...
go to the movies

besides, that´s where men always
do the "yawning trick"

what?

Come on Janeth!

Let's see.

No --- No

I said no....

One thing though.

Elvis can´t talk to his dad, ok?

If Alfredo calls..
Do not pass it to him.

Hey Freckles.

Which of these you think it's nicer?

But I do know that Mrs. Maria
loves going to the movies.

Really?

Because...

When you go out with folks
such as her, you gotta dress well.

Show some class.

I don't want you
to keep dressing like that anymore.

No more shorts, pants,
t-shirts, nor that cap.

You hear me?

Yes sir.

What happened to you hand?

Oh it's nothing.
Something stupid.

Hey, so let me ask you.

What else did you hear Mrs Maria likes?

Willie come here.

What do you want?

What is up with this?

See that there son?

First of all,
we have to organize those clothes.

Let me set you up
with something that Mrs. Maria would like.

And Willie, do you still have
that tobacco you usually chew?

Tobacco?
What for?

My dad is inviting
the missus to the movies tonight.

Hey no, we can't be certain yet.

We're going to walk around somewhere.

Then we'll see later on what happens.

Keeping it from us, Sneaky, huh?

Take advantage during the movie,
you can go for the kiss you know.

Just...

You gotta be crafty,
Start with a slight stretch, you know?

You think I didn't know that?

then yawn and all.

You think I didn't know
the old yawning trick?

Lady by the side,
stretch it out, then yawn…

... this is a good movie

It's right there that you go for it.

Alright, alright!
cut it off

William, you're helping me
make my dad look like a prince.

Go get your tobacco though.

Take that down dad.

This would look better on you.

So where are my cigarettes?

We'll go get them soon.

Nah man,

this is too much work for just some cigs.

You'll have to
get me something else.

How about some beer?

No William you said
only the cigarettes, We had a deal

You guys should go get the cigarettes.

I'll stay here with William
before he changes his mind.

Alright you go buy them.

Yes, We'll wait outside.

But why?

Just go in there!

Go, go, go!

What do you need?

Getting those beers wouldn't be easy...

we will have to be subtle

ahh....

Some cigarettes sir.

What else do you want?

Ahh...

Two boxes of...

...matches!

the moment of truth has arrived

Anything else?

And..., One beer can.

Two!

two

and...

Who are they for?

For my dad.

Yep.

Well,
at least we tried…

Fortunately for us…

back in the eighties,

political correctness was not fully spread

so the clerk sold us

Cigarettes...

Matches...

beers...

and he also gave us....

Hold on and I'll give
you the change.

a Quarter to waste in the Arcades

There,

Thanks.

Woah William that's looking good.

Of course.

hi guys

Here's your stuff.

Let's see.

Hey William...

William...

would you be able to
put some breaks on it?

No brother,
I'll do that tomorrow.

We gotta pick up all this
before Rogelio comes and complains.

Thank you

Hi Rogelio.

How's everything Maria.

I'm sorry for being late.

No don't worry about it,

I already bought our tickets.

You have something on your teeth.

Yeah, you like it?

son of a gun.. freckles

You wanna go ahead?

sure...

Ooh, it's a bit warm out.

Thank you sonny,
God bless you

Did you like the movie?

I didn't even know
that the movie was about the Pope.

I didn't even know that nuns
ever went to the movies.

It seemed as if all
of them came tonight.

How wild...

You want to go out
with me sometime again?

You want to Mrs Maria?

Well only if you stop calling me Mrs.

you want to?

I'd love to.

Thank you.

What's going on?

They took William!
They detained him.

Where is he?

He's on a militar truck
close to my house.

where are you going?

Freckels!!!

why you took him?

we drafted him.

He was very rude..
and don't have proper IDs

he's my friend...

and my dad is the chief drafting officer

Colonel Ramirez

Are you kidding me?

Colonel Ramirez with a crippled son?

who's gonna believe that?

- better go away...
- buzz off before we put you in jail too, go now!

-Now... leave!

Move it.. move!

there is only one thing left to do

Call in the Cavalry

Mom, that phone doesn't work.

Can you take us there?

Dear I'd love to,
but I'm a bit too busy right now honey

Also...

What if your dad calls?

Who's going to answer?

Besides......

We have to watch the house, love. So no.

How about you aunt?

Well...

I'm not even
asking for much, am I?

Elvis,

No!

---Why not?

You two always hang
around the house doing nothing either way.

I already said no Elvis Antonio.

You're not going
to see Alfredo today, period.

Do you think Elvis is right
saying we do nothing?

We do a lot of stuff

yeah, but I mean, like working.
earning our own money

Now is the time to act

If I wanted to go see my dad….

… I had to do it on my own…

Can you help me
with that box please?

This one?

Yeah.

Well…
Even Napoleon needed help from his troops…

Thanks.

How are we going
to help William with that?

This is all I have
left from my birthday.

We can grab a taxi…

And go to the
central Military base to find my dad.

This is not gonna work.

Of course it will!

It's the only way to help William.

We have to talk
to my dad, today!

If my mom is not willing
to take us, then we'll go ourselves.

You really would
do that for us?

Well yeah.

We're friends, right?

One does anything
to help a friend.

There is something
I wanted to tell you.

Promise me you will not be upset with me?

I don't know.

You have to promise me.

But what is it?

You promise
not to be mad at me?

Ok, I won't be upset.

Freckles!

don't they teach you
any moral values at home?

How dare you
do such a disgusting thing, kid!

That is not right!
You don't do that!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What happened?

It happens, that this little brat
is never coming back to this house.

You understand me?

But I'm a…

But, but nothing!
You be quiet! No sorries.

I'm going right now
to tell your dad!.

And you!

You Janeth stay with Elvis,
because he's grounded.

You hear me,
Elvis Antonio?

You're grounded!

Now let us go.

No more of this!

I told you he was weird!

Rogelio!

Hey Rogelio!

What's up Maria?

is that all you have to say?

you should be ashamed

Your Freckles,
just kissed my Elvis, on the mouth!

Seriously?

Yes, seriously!

Why the hell
are you laughing?!

Well what do you
want me to do? A Beating?

It's kids stuff, who cares.

Just kid's stuff?

How is this just kid's stuff?!

You don't know how serious this is?

Freckles kissed
my son on the mouth!

Well, who says it wasn't
your boy who started it?

Huh?!

Because my son is not of that kind!

Okay...

I see...

So the problem is,
what kind of people we are…

So because I'm not wealthy,
our kids can't share a friendship.

I'm not talking about money!

God!

I'm talking about morality and values!

And I don't want, Freckles
to be a bad influence to my son.

You undersstand me?

So Freckles is a bad influence?

Yes sir.

Do you realize what
you're saying to me?

Of course I know what
I'm saying to you!

You're making such a big deal
over this silliness!

You should instead let his dad
talk to him and teach him about these things in life.

Because, obviously, you can't handle it

What are you saying?!

You know I'm right.

Your kid needs a man at home!
A father figure!

You have no idea!

Maria, Maria, Calm down!

Jeez, they're just kids!

Nothing wrong with that,

it was an innocent thing!

An innocent thing?

Yes of course!

-Not innocence! Not innocence!
-Then what else, what else?!

What else is it going to be?

You better call his dad
and tell him what happened!

Call his father, and I bet you he'll say

that there was nothing wrong
with just a little kiss!

Do you even know Alfredo
for you to say that?!

I don't, I don't know him!

But now I see why he doesn't
want to be with you anymore!

Cuz, Are you going to runaway?

Why are you grabbing my clothes?,

am I running away too?

Don't be a dummy, cuz

They're for Arturo and Pedro.

So they can come visit,

or go into the store, the library…

Without any problems.

But that's not the priority right now.

You have to go to the store

and buy the strongest relaxant
you can find there.

Relaxant?

Yes, a relaxant.

Mom's not going to let me
sneak out of the house that easy.

So we must
make her fall asleep.

Then I can go find my dad.

Hey look

this one is for you,

and this one for you.

Elvis sent them for you two.

This is Sweet!

They're nice!

so what time are we
meeting up and whatnot?

2 P.M. at the park.

Don't forget to call
Freckles for Elvis's bike.

Yeah it's cool, don't worry.

we won't forget

ok, let's go finish the business

Hello.

How may I help you young men?

Aren't you the same...

The same guy from that other store?

No... Uhm… Well the guy over there is….

That's my twin brother.

Don't even mention him to me.

How can I hep you though?

Can you give us a re...

Re…

Re…?

Re...

Re…?

A relaxate!

Re… what?!

a relaxarter?

maybe relaxatiff.

a relaxatiff, right?

no a relaxative

You mean a laxative?

Yeah that!

The strongest you have.

Also a large soda.

No... not that

I'll sell you the
laxative here with pleasure.

The price is there.

You can get the soda
over there from that man.

Very good.

thank you

No change?

The price is right there.

That's what it costs.

Well then, thanks.

Thanks you.

Come back soon.
And I hope it works well.

Good day.

I think I'm done here, I'm kinda full.

So am I.

that's all for me

Hey cousin,

come help me in the kitchen.

We'll grab our moms some coffee.

For such a good lunch.

it wasn't good

Yes of course,
come to the kitchen.

you guys are such good boys.

What's going on?

Cuz, It's now or never.

Hand me the relaxants.

I don't have it anymore.

What?!

Yeah, I dissolved
the whole thing in the soda.

Right before serving.

Hey kids....

... I don't feel
like having any coffee actually.

Thank you, though, sweeties

I'll pass on that too.

That is so gross mommy

I'm…

I'm going...

… To powder my nose.

My teeth...

What did you put in the drinks?

What you asked me for.

Look.

This isn't a relaxant!

This is a laxative for constipation!

You screwed up again cousin!

Good thing I didn't have any.

Auntie!

I'm… brushing my teeth!

Mother!

Who's that?

Mom!

Love! ... My love,... honey,... sweetheart

I'm putting some make up on!

ehh... yes...

Go use the other bathroom, swettie

But my aunt is shitting
in the other bathroom too!

There was only
one solution for this.

Cousin, you come here!

Hurry up

What now?

hurry up!

desperate times call for
desperate measures

What do you want?

You gotta help me.

But I don't want to, cousin.

You got me into this mess,
now you're going to help me.

But no...

Quickly!

Quickly!

This is nasty!

Oh no!

no ...no! cuz.

Get up!
please cousin

This is so disgusting

Cuz...
Wait please!

Let me get my hands out!

You're shitting all over me!

It feels like melted marshmallows and syrup!

Cousin!!!!...

It's watery, so gross!

Hold on Cuz, I'm not even done yet!

You shat on me, cousin...

There was nothing else to do
but to accept our luck

Take a bath, and wait for
a miracle

Cuz... If you tell anyone about this,

I will never speak to you again.

Everybody found out.

Some kids came asking for you two...

but I'll remind you that you're grounded.

So, You guys can't go outside.

What's up?
We've been waiting for you!

The plan is cancelled.

What are you doing in there?

I don't want to talk about it

So, what are we doing now?

What if we play on the computer?

-Yeah, C'mon!
- on yours

Yes?, C'mon!

Well, Sure.

My aunt left with my cousin...

Sebastian got grounded for two weeks,
that's for causing us diarrhea…

Arturo and Pedro played
video games for a bit.

Then, they also left...

We were left alone, just mom and I...

I knew she was sad.

I wanted to get closer to her…

But never did...

I knew that she
wanted to talk to me also…

But she didn't got closer either.

What are you doing here?

mom's going to kill you if she sees you!

You better get ready.
I have a plan.

You'll be able to see your dad today.

I'll be back.

Freckles, come here!

What's all this?

It's a bike for Elvis.

You know very well that ...

you're not allowed to talk to that kid anymore,
I told you

Besides,
You shouldn't touch my tools.

How can I make you
understand that this stuff is dangerous.

You could get hurt.

I know

But it looks good,
doesn't it?

Alright yes, but...

I need you to understand

that this is no place for you.

You could hurt yourself
with this equipment.

William was helping me though.

I miss my uncle.

true, I miss the sun of a gun too.

But being in the military
will do well to William though.

Believe me Freckles.

Daddy

what is it?

can I ask you a favor?

What is it?

Could you…

...take me to Elvis's mom?

How can you even ask for that?

After how she treated us
and all she said to us?

You have nothing to do with her.

Yes, I have something to do there.

I need to know some things.

What do you need to know?

Ask me, I'm your dad.

what do you need?

It's something intimate, see

It's a ladies' thing.

Good lord,
It's a women's thing.

Well...

you can trust me, tell me.

The thing is,... that
I'm ashamed of telling you.

How so?
no, no, talk to me

Tell me.

it was this morning...

When I woke up
and went to the bathroom…

There was blood.

What's up with you?

It's nothing.

But, Why do you want to talk
to that lady about that?

because I feel like I can trust her.

She used to be very nice to me,
before all that happened.

She treated me well.

Besides, what happened to us with her…

It was not really her fault.

What do you mean?

It was my fault.

The thing is, Mrs Maria and Elvis think that...

...that I'm a boy.

I told them my name
was Joseph Mario

Why did you say such a thing?

Like that makes sense.

Josephine Marie, my girl...

Why did you say such a thing?

My little Freckles,
you definitely are crazy.

But you're gorgeous!
You don't have to hide your hair.

Nor your face,
nor who you are either, dear.

I apologize my princess, I'm so sorry.

No, no need, Mrs Maria,
it wasn't your fault

Well, boys will be boys..
I mean, boys and girls.

Girl?

Oh Rogelio.

Don't worry, though.

I'll try to explain all...

she needs to know about these girls things.

Freckles is a girl?

Then I better get going.

I'll leave you ladies alone

what am I to contribute.

I know, right?

No wonder those funny feelings,
when Freckles and I were wheeling

You seriously are a girl?

Yeah.

Let me see then.

No way, are you crazy?

You've already seen me though.

So?

That was before you knew...

I wasn't a boy

Not fair.

Too bad.

Is it true that
you became a woman now?

Eewww, no.

No, I made that up

so you could go see your dad today.

Seriously?

Yep, I knew my dad

wouldn't talk about that thing with me.

You ready?

What for?

So we can go.

Understandably I felt confused,
when my friend and I schmoozed

Elvis, Freckles,
let me out!

C'mon! Guys,
Let's go!

Kids, Let me out!

I'm being serious,
open this!

come on wheels, you can do it.

we can find my dad in the army base

Don't worry,
I know a shortcut to downtown.

Okay, let's head there.
Come on guys!

easy on the turning

Maria?

Rogelio, is that you?

Rogelio!

I'm locked inside the bathroom!

What's going on,
are you okay?

Freckles and Elvis
locked me in here.

I'll find something to break this

Please call my sister

ask my nephew if ...

he knows where Elvis went.

Move on...
Arturo, hurry up

Hey.. you are the slow one buddy

Maria

you alright?

I'm ok

we need to find the kids

Move Arturo

Shut up turtle-face

Freckle's Plan seamed better than mine,
And it was working like clockwork

And even better,
my bike performed perfectly

it could take me everywhere...

still... no brakes thought

- Hi Miss.. we're looking for his dad

-Yes, his dad, colonel
- Yes Please

-his dad works heres
- call him now please

shhh just one

Wait, wait!

I'm looking for my dad,
Colonel Ramirez

The Colonel is not here.

I'm his son, it's important.

He's not here?

He's not here,
he's at his house.

He's on break.

Like vacation?

Yes, he's on 'vacation'.

at home?

you can't tell me that

Let's go! Let's go!

To his house it is!

Maria tell me,
what's going on please.

What happened Maria?

Alright!
Don't pressure me!

I just don't want Elvis
to see what his dad does.

That's all

What have Elvis' Dad been up to?

Look Rogelio, it's too
complicated to explain right now.

Do you see that?

That's…
that is Elvis riding a bike!

Where did he
get a bike though?

Freckles built it for him.

You're gonna need
one of this for that bike.

Can you picture that?

You can laugh too!

Don't worry, everything is gonna be fine.

Hang on

Hey, I think that's my mom!

We gotta split up... and fast

You go that way so she doesn't follow you.

go.

wait up

Look.. there they go

That way... that way.

Freckles!

Freckles... You stop right now!

Where is Elvis?!

Well...

We...

We had to separate.

and he went to his dad's place

Maria, you go behind Elvis and...

I'll head back with the kids.

Dad... where are you dad?
I need you! I really need you.

it's an urgent matter, very important!

My friend William was drafted into the army

What are you doing here?

it'll be quickly

Did your mother tell you to come?

I'm very busy right now

I cannot do anything for you right now.

Weren't you taking a vacation?

Yeah.

Well, the Minister.. ehh, he asked for a meeting and...

he'll be on his way soon.

So I can't help you right now.

You're meeting him wearing speedos?

I think the Col has more booze in the kitchen

I only have champagne when in pink

you are such a diva honey.

you have no idea, dear.

I know, right?

we need more...

this one is empty.

Antonio...

Elvis!

Elvis!

He's gone now.

He saw everything and...

couldn't even speak to him.

I don't know where he could be.

He got on that bike and left.

Auntie
I know where Elvis went!

and I know which business we start up

Elvis!

honey, where are you?!

I'm sorry sweetheart

Mommy, I'm here

sweetheart

My Honey bunny

Are you alright?

are you okay?

Since when did you know?

What are you talking about, love?

That dad was like that.

we don't have to talk
about this right now, ok?

Yeah why not?

I have the right to know.

He's my dad, isn't he?

And my aunt talking about the genes...

that one gets from parents and such…

I want to know
since when did you know?

I knew it since
the day we got married.

the honeymoon gift your dad gave me...
was an early indication

So you never saw the real Elvis?

That night...

I went up to the hotel room.

And I grabbed
all the money we had.

Then I bought it...

The most expensive
ticket for his show…

Right on the front and center row.

what's this?

Shoot!, We've been robbed!!

Maria?

And I saw him

And he sang like never before.

Then, he kissed me...

Just as he used to kiss all his fans…

Right on the mouth.

When the show ended...

I received an invitation...

that no other woman would ever reject.

And we were together all that night.

and we laughed and talked...

But Then...

he's gone and I could never talked to him again...

But he gave me something...

so I could never forget him.

Then after that...

Alfredo and I decided to completely
forget that matter.

What is it honey?

Just the ants mom…
It itches…

You can feel them?

Yeah!

Elvis, do you really
feel them?

My name is Elvis….

… Elvis Antonio, because my mother
wanted it to be so…

And at twelve years old, I found out...

that life could change, in a blink of an eye…
