Gentefied (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Delfina - full transcript

- Go, let's go!
- You got this, all right?

Excuse me! Excuse me.

Lidia Solis, 36 weeks pregnant,

contractions are 10 minutes apart.

She is allergic to penicillin,
nuts, and toxic masculinity.

I'm really scared.

Hey, hey, hey, hey... Listen to me.

Our baby is a badass, all right?

She's gonna be okay.

And I got you always, all right?

- All right?
- Okay.



Get this woman some drugs now!

Get her some drugs! Stat!

Look over here, darling.

This... This is where
we'll put your statement piece, lady.

Speaking of which,

I know people-of-color-time is a thing,
but we're cutting it kinda close here.

When's the masterpiece coming?

It's sort of the anchor
to our entire show, babe.

Yeah, tomorrow morning. I just...

- I just need a little more time.
- Ana!

Thank God that you're a star
worth waiting for.

So fine.

I'm so excited to meet
all of your friends and your boo.

They're gonna get to see you walk out
of anonymity into curated culture.



"Ana-nymity."

Ana-nymity. Oh, my gosh!
That should've been the name of the show.

Why was I not this genius last month?

Okay.

Tell all your little friends.

And do not forget to leave a review
on... on... on...

Yelp.

Yelp.

And if you don't like the food,

don't tell anybody, cabrón.

We know people.

Dangerous people.

Got it. Love the tacos or else.

Okay. No, they're not being serious.

It's part of the, uh...
the color here at Mama Fina's.

What color?

- I'm the boss here, cabrón.
- Yeah. Smile.

Hey, look, I get it. My dad still posts
his Google searches to Facebook.

Don't worry. You're gonna get five stars
from me, señor.

Best damn tacos
on the East Side.

Pop.

My friends call me Pop.

Thanks, Pop. All right.

See, abuelo. A little ass kissing

goes a long way with these folks.

- Hello.
- Hi. Is this Casimiro Morales?

Hey, didn’t I tell you
to put me on the "Do Not Call" list!?

No, this isn't a telemarketer, sir.
This is Cortez Realtors.

I'm calling on behalf of Rob.
We've yet to receive this month's rent.

Okay, okay, okay...
Pero, I just mailed it.

Why didn't Rob call me?

Is he sending the new lease?

Of course, sir.
We're drawing up the paperwork.

Mr. Cortez is just expanding
and isn't able to handle the day to day

like before.

- We'll connect soon.
- What the hell.

- What happened?
- Now that we actually have

money for rent, these idiots are taking
their sweet time with the lease.

Of course.

I'm going to get some air.

Then I gotta call Ana.

I have to let her know
Lidia’s in labor.

Erik’s probably going crazy.
And we’re running out of tortillas!

Sí se puede!

Sí se puede!

Yep. Yep...

Miss Solis, the pre-eclampsia
is definitely back.

It's contributing to your premature labor,
so this is it.

We're gonna have a new mom
on our hands soon.

What? But she's four weeks early, right?

Well, yeah, she's early,
but it's nothing I haven't seen before.

- You're in good hands. Okay.
- Okay.

- I got this. Yeah, I got this.
- You got this.

She's got this, doc. Thank you so much.

Bitch, I don't got this!

I still need my overnight bag,
and I need her clothes.

I need her blanket...

She can't be looking
all raggedy in those hospital onesies!

Dammit! We forgot her car seat!

They're not gonna let us take her home
without a car seat.

- Okay. I'm here, okay.
- Is my granddaughter okay?

- Everybody relax, okay? I'm...
- Why is he here?

What are you doing here? I told you
I'd call you when it's time to come.

You better give her
the best drugs from Obamacare!

Because I can't afford it.

Relax, honey.

Breathe, abuelo. Breathe, okay?

- She's not coming now now.
- Are you sure?

Babies come when they want.

It could be five hours from now.

- It could be two days from now.
- You sure?

Okay? For now,

- all the ladies in the room are good.
- Okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay...

- So, take a seat, abuelo.
- Yep.

- Breathe.
- Okay.

- Breathe.
- Yep.

We got backup.

- I'm gonna be right back, hermosa.
- Okay.

- With everything my ladies need, okay?
- Okay.

- You got this.
- Yep. I got this, baby.

Yep. Okay.

- Wait, wait, wait!
- What happened?

Can you get me a burrito, baby?

And five al pastor tacos
for me. No onions.

- So it doesn’t smell.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, God...

Trash. All of them.

- Paint Frida like everybody else.
- What am I, an Etsy hack?

Don't know. Do Etsy hacks make money?

Go choke on a Taki, Nayeli.

Anger, textbook.

I am not angry.

Okay, I got a show. I am fricking blessed!

- I'm living my best life.
- She said angrily.

You know, I hear denial
is one of the seven stages of grief, sis.

You sure you don't want to let it all out
to Dr. Nayeli?

Nayeli, you're not allowed
to watch Dr. Phil anymore.

My style is more Iyanla Vanzant,
baby girl.

A surprise?
But it's not my birthday.

It's something I owe you
from a long time ago, abuelo.

We owe you way more.

How are you, beautiful!?

How have they treated you?

How I've missed you, my love.

Look at this.

Yo, Mama Fina's. How can I feed ya?

Your dad!

You know what?

I think that fool went to go see
the new Wes Anderson movie.

Uh-huh.

Yes, I'll tell him.
Okay. Yes, sir.

Yo, why are you avoiding your dad so bad?

He has assets.
You should be kissing his ass.

What if he died tomorrow?
You need to be on that will, baboso.

Here, let's call him back.
Tell him Tía Norma needs a new Beemer.

Why? So I could hear him bitch about
how he didn't cosign my student loans

- so that I could be flipping tortillas?
- That fool cosigned a loan for you?

Can he cosign for me?

Forget about the Beemer, I'll just take
whatever's for sale at Toyotathon.

Güero...

sounds like you got it good.

- Why you hate him so bad?
- Because...

I'm tired of hearing
for the millionth time

that I'm gonna end up a dishwasher
at a fucking Denny's.

Damn.

You want me to call Nayeli?
I hear she's giving out free therapy.

He just doesn't respect my dreams.

Your dream is to run a taco shop
in the hood?

Okay, okay...

- Burritos, tacos...
- Dude, did you just rob a daycare?

Hey, let me do it.

- Let me do it. Let me do it!
- You don't know how she likes it. Just...

Yo, come on, relax.

- Drop it. Just drop it.
- Real quick...

Relax. Jeez!

Come on, man. Is Lidia doing okay?

She's awesome. She's amazing.

She's going to Stanford with my baby.

Oh, shit. She got the Stanford gig.

- You knew?
- Oh, don't punch me.

- She asked me to go with her.
- Like, right now?

How am I supposed to leave, huh?

- Take a U-Haul. It's not that expensive.
- I've never left.

Fuck, man. Just change my whole life
and not know what can happen?

- How'd you do it?
- Hey, you know what?

First time, I didn't even have a choice.

All right, so it sucked hard,
but when I decided to come back...

Well, when you have a dream,
you do whatever it takes to get it, man.

You know what? You're gonna make
a real good manny, chulo.

Fuck. Shit!

What's all this?

I thought you were against
dumpster diving, sweetie.

I need a statement piece.

You can definitely make
a statement with all this.

Something like,
"I don't give a shit."

Your grandpa is right here.

He knows a thing or two
about broken hearts.

No, I'm not worried about anything
but today.

My show is all that matters.

You know what, sweetie?

Sometimes...
when the heart says no,

everything else says no.

Then we get scared
that if we move on too fast...

it'll all come rushing out.

But we can't stop feeling.

If we stop feeling,
we can't move forward.

I miss her.

Yessika?

Mama Fina.

Why don't we use that one?

That one? No. That...

That one's just for us.

And... it's stuck to the wall.

No, it's on plywood.
I can take it down really easy.

And of all your work,
this one’s my favorite,

I have no problem
sharing it with the white folks.

Eh? It's beautiful!

♪ Uno, dos, tres ♪

This is Ana Morales,

an upcoming artist who will give you
something to talk about.

She is iconic. She is queer.

She is Latinx,
a rose that grew from the concrete.

Her mother's a garment worker.

Her grandfather immigrated here
with, like, five dollars in his pocket.

Her cousin survived gang life.

Ooh! Did I mention
her mom works in a sweatshop?

She raised her little sister.
She's basically a teen mom.

Ana, tell them about how we had
to fight off Ofelia, okay?

Goodbye homophobes!

You know what?

I heard on Telemundo that this piece

has already tripled in value.

I heard that Cheech Marin
is going to snatch it up!

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, not before me. Where's that cabrón?

- I'll kick his ass!
- That's how you sell

- to white folks.
- Cheech from Nash Bridges?

- We should put in a bid immediately.
- Is that what my jawline looks like?

Damn, I look good.

Don't flatter yourself.

You're a poor man's Mario Lopez at best.

Oh, yeah?
Well you're a dollar bin Dora, so...

Man, all this is incredible.
Ana’s a badass.

Shooting her art
all over the place,

like a lesbian Spiderman.

Imagine what it feels like
to accomplish your dreams, huh?

Imagine.

Wow.

God, that one is so beautiful.

Ana's so talented.

What do you think she was thinking about
when she painted that?

Probably that...

beauty can be found in places
where people aren't looking.

That...

our gente's joy deserves to be captured.

It's worth capturing.

Eh. Maybe she was thinking about
a burrito.

For real. That bitch can eat, man.

Yeah, burrito, definitely. Final answer.

You could totally get into Stanford.

- Stanford, huh?
- Yeah.

I wouldn't just be your manny?

Stop it.

Erik, I believe in you.

I always have.

- You wanna know what I see?
- What?

I see...

me a tenured professor at Stanford,

helping beautiful brown babies
turn into radical thinkers.

And you...

You own your own bookstore.

But at home,
we raise our little niñita together.

And you teach her how to be a woman
who is kind

and generous and as...
as curious as you are.

She'll probably be as stubborn as you too,

- hopefully not.
- Probably.

And she'll love driving down the 101
to visit our abuelos.

Oh, God. They will hate us for feeding her
vegan because, let's face it,

the Bay Area will brainwash us
with their granola ways.

That's the life I see for us.

Because, Erik, you're it for me.

Miss Solis, hi. I'm concerned
the baby's heartbeat is slowing.

She's working really hard in there
to get here, but she's really struggling.

So I need to start prepping you
for cesarean.

Wait, no.

My birth plan was to do it naturally,
and I'd really like to try.

I know, sweetie, but if we wait,
it can be dangerous for both of you.

Okay? Now don't worry.
We're gonna get little momma here safely.

Okay? All right.

- What if something happens?
- Hey, hey, hey!

Our baby's an overachiever.

Como her mommy, all right?

- Right?
- Mm-hmm.

I know our baby girl,
she's gonna get an A+ in being born.

You're gonna be fine.
The baby's gonna be fine.

I'm really happy you're here.

There's no other place I'd rather be.

I thought you would have
painted me angry and yelling.

I can hardly believe
all of this is for you.

It's for you too, Amá.

Look, I know
you don't always understand me, but...

you put food
on the table.

You put a roof over our heads.

All of this is thanks to you.

So this is our show.

Our success. Together.

Just remember
that I can't paint, so don't ask.

No. I've seen your stick figures.

Thank you.

Thank you for being here.

Sweetie? The baby's coming!

- What?
- What? Now?

Your grandpa will go first.

Imagine how crazy
Erik must be.

You know I'm the only one
who can calm him down.

Ana, darling.

- Go, girl. Get to work.
- Okay.

I cannot end the night
without having you meet Vivian.

She is such an important member
of the gallery’s board of directors.

- Viv? This is Ana.
- Yes?

Incredible fucking work!

- My God! Just gorgeous color palette...
- Yeah. Yeah.

...and such powerful imagery
of a changing community.

Sweetheart, we are just so goddamn honored
to be hosting your first show.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Ana's a queer chicana...
- Lovely.

- ...from a low-income community.
- Beautiful.

So how do you know each other?

We know each other from, uh... real estate

- and the art world...
- Come on, she's a burner.

Okay, one party.

One fucking party, he thinks I'm a burner.
He keeps trying to pull me into his tribe.

- Well...
- And I keep saying,

you know, I can't keep blowing on molly
if I want to die a rich bitch

with a trophy husband imported from Italy.

It's very important to me.

- Work hard, play harder, love.
- Yeah, okay.

Yes, Ana,

so I just swooped up
this adorable place,

and it is in major, major need
of your orgasmic work all over the walls.

- Please say yes, please say yes.
- Of course! I'd be happy to!

Okay, perfect.

Now, it's not gonna be ready
for a couple months.

It's this taco spot

on South Reyes.

Oh!

- Rob sold it to me. Do you remember him?
- Oh, Rob...

He's the cutie with the booty,

- who you swore you would...
- Oh, yeah.

Mama Fina's?

Yes! Yes. You know it!

Yes. It's the perfect, perfect place
for my theme pop-up food experience.

It's very Saved By The Max
but with Fuller House.

- Oh, yeah.
- I just need the lease to be up soon,

and then I can make the transformation.

One minute, lovelies.
I'm sorry, BRB.

Okay. So, what do you say, hon?
Are you in?

Whoa, whoa, hey, hey. What's the matter?

You look like...

Like I'm about to do something
really fucking crazy?

Uh... Yeah, that sounds about... right.

- Hello?
- Pop?

I need you to go back to the house
and pick up the car seat.

What the hell?
I’m on my way to the hospital!

Sorry. Lidia's freaking out
because I forgot it.

Goddamn it. Okay, you got it.

Thank you.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much for being here.

It is so lovely to have so many colors
of the rainbow under one roof, right?

Okay. Now...

let's make some noise
for our incredible artista,

Ana Morales!

Ana?

Y'all gentrifying motherfuckers
can kiss my ass.

I'mma go meet my new niece.

Go choke on your manchego cheese, bitches.

Ah, shit!

She's Banksy-ing this mother!
Get it, mija!

Is this wall for sale.
Where do I bid?

Is she quitting her job?

Ana, come back here!
I'm gonna give you a whooping! Ana!

I think I love her.

Chuy, you idiot.
What did you do?

Is this your vehicle?

- Yes.
- Are you Casimiro Morales?

Yeah.

We have a warrant for your arrest
for an outstanding fine

on a vandalism charge
from six months ago.

I don't know, but I can pay it.

Are you gonna say something, Chaka Jr.?

I'm kinda worried
you're gonna spray paint the baby.

Yessika was right.

I have to tell you something.

- About the shop.
- Hey! Hey...

Tía Beatriz and Nayeli
are about to come out, so y'all can go in.

But you gotta hurry,
we're about to go into surgery.

- Are you freaking out?
- Are you okay?

Of course I'm freaking out!
I'm about to be a baby daddy!

- Okay.
- And, and...

they're about to cut open
the love of my life.

And I'm supposed to stand there
and be like, "Oh, don't worry, chula.

The nice doctor's just gonna
slice you open like a fucking turkey

and pull out a human is all."
I mean, should I be calm?

All right, maybe slice is not the right...

I don't think she's gonna like
being called a turkey, but...

Okay.

What if I fuck her up?

Ah... Lidia's used to you fucking up.

Not her, the baby.
What if I fuck up the baby?

I have no clue what it's like
to be a good father.

Hey.

- You are not your dad.
- I'm not?

I'm a stoner that lives in a garage.
What the hell do I have to offer anyone?

Hey, stop it.

Look at me.

You're pretty damn smart.
And you're loyal.

And the way you show up for everyone,

it's everything she needs, primo.

So just change your deodorant,

handle your BO, and you'll be fine.

Glad you're here, man.

Me too.

Excuse me.

Were you being attacked by a gang?

Don't believe everything you see
on Primer Impacto, all right?

- They were protesters.
- Christian,

you're wasting all of my sacrifices

just so you can end up
like my brother or like Erik.

Is that what you want?
You want to end up a nobody?

God, you're such a jerk. I like it here.

And that's as close as I'm gonna get
to the dream right now.

Not if I pay for cooking school,
mijo.

I'll send you the money.

I'll send it right now.

What?

Get her head, okay?

Hi, baby.

Hey, want to meet your primita?

What's her name?

Her name's Delfina.

Come here!

Get over here.

Hi.

You see this Ricky-Ricardo-looking fool
right here?

That's your Uncle Chris.

I'm coming with you.

Hey, where's Pop?

- I... I don't know. I'll check.
- Él no estáaquí.

Let's close it up.

Let's move!
