00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.291
- Is yours the yellow team?
- Yeah. Yours is black.

00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:21.833
Get out.

00:00:23.541 --> 00:00:24.083
Get out.

00:00:24.083 --> 00:00:26.416
Hey, Vanessa, come
here next to me, bitch.

00:00:27.458 --> 00:00:29.166
No, it’s your turn, asshole.

00:00:31.708 --> 00:00:32.791
Shut up!

00:00:33.541 --> 00:00:34.625
Wait, wait, wait.

00:00:36.083 --> 00:00:36.958
No way.

00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:46.833
6 to 1.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.041
Jonathas, Ms. Leila is calling you.

00:00:56.125 --> 00:00:58.166
Go! Go! Go!

00:01:00.458 --> 00:01:01.083
Bye, Jonathas.

00:01:04.208 --> 00:01:09.166
The Orphan

00:01:17.291 --> 00:01:18.166
Sit down.

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.750
Jonathas, you know Raul and Paula?

00:01:28.125 --> 00:01:31.041
That have been coming here all
month to get to know you better.

00:01:32.833 --> 00:01:34.583
I have good news for you.

00:01:38.125 --> 00:01:39.000
No...

00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:41.500
This time it’ll work out,

00:01:43.541 --> 00:01:46.291
if it didn’t work out before,
it\'s because it wasn’t meant to be.

00:01:48.458 --> 00:01:49.208
Look at me...

00:01:52.458 --> 00:01:55.583
Jonathas, what did you do to your hair?

00:01:56.833 --> 00:01:58.000
Now of all times?

00:02:01.791 --> 00:02:03.416
Better to do it here now,

00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:07.000
than do it there and mess up
the woman\'s whole bathroom.

00:02:28.833 --> 00:02:29.791
Excuse me...

00:03:00.416 --> 00:03:01.333
Hey,

00:03:01.333 --> 00:03:02.791
let\'s go see your room?

00:03:02.791 --> 00:03:03.958
- Okay.
- Let’s go?

00:03:46.708 --> 00:03:48.333
I wanted to ask a question.

00:03:54.666 --> 00:03:56.208
No, never mind. Forget it.

00:03:56.458 --> 00:03:58.000
-What?
-Forget it, really.

00:03:58.208 --> 00:04:01.166
No, go ahead. You can ask,
you can ask whatever you want.

00:04:06.958 --> 00:04:07.500
No...

00:04:08.583 --> 00:04:09.875
What do you want to know?

00:04:14.125 --> 00:04:16.250
Which one of you can’t have kids?

00:04:27.166 --> 00:04:31.541
We can have kids, it’s just that
Carlos always wanted to adopt.

00:04:33.583 --> 00:04:35.416
Yeah, we wanted to adopt.

00:04:39.208 --> 00:04:41.458
Why would you ask something like that?

00:04:42.250 --> 00:04:44.500
Because I’ve already seen
a lot of cases like this.

00:04:47.875 --> 00:04:49.708
Did Ms. Leila say something?

00:04:50.291 --> 00:04:51.083
No, no.

00:04:53.125 --> 00:04:57.125
Well, I was just asking.
Sorry if I did something wrong.

00:04:57.125 --> 00:04:57.875
-No.
-No.

00:05:00.125 --> 00:05:03.541
You\'re off work tomorrow, right?
You guys could go play some soccer.

00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:04.500
Yes...

00:05:05.375 --> 00:05:07.208
- There’s a field close by here, right?
- Yeah.

00:05:07.375 --> 00:05:08.125
It’s nice there.

00:05:08.458 --> 00:05:09.541
I don’t know how to play soccer.

00:05:10.083 --> 00:05:10.666
You don’t?

00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:11.416
No.

00:05:11.708 --> 00:05:12.166
No?

00:05:12.458 --> 00:05:13.708
- You don’t know how to play soccer?
- No.

00:05:14.125 --> 00:05:16.041
You never thought of
being a soccer player?

00:05:16.416 --> 00:05:20.458
The most I know is how to cheer,
and I don’t even know if I do that right.

00:05:20.833 --> 00:05:22.250
Like, \"ever\".

00:05:47.166 --> 00:05:48.000
There’s ice cream...

00:05:49.666 --> 00:05:50.500
vanilla.

00:06:34.208 --> 00:06:37.958
I prefer to stay here with you
than stay in that awful house.

00:06:48.875 --> 00:06:53.458
- 3/22/1997.
- Jonathas, let me show you something.

00:06:53.458 --> 00:06:54.291
What?

00:06:55.041 --> 00:06:58.125
Vanessa and Jonathas...
Aw, sweetheart!

00:07:00.750 --> 00:07:01.833
I love you, you know?

00:07:05.625 --> 00:07:07.625
- So we can’t go in your room?
- No...

00:07:07.958 --> 00:07:11.375
- We can\'t?
- Because bedrooms are private, right?

00:07:11.375 --> 00:07:14.333
- Yes... But we aren’t... we are
close, aren\'t we?

00:07:14.833 --> 00:07:15.583
We are.

00:07:16.583 --> 00:07:17.250
So...

00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:33.208
You’re going to be
adopted one more time.

00:07:34.291 --> 00:07:35.291
Are you happy?

00:07:39.333 --> 00:07:40.708
What did Ms. Leila tell you?

00:07:41.458 --> 00:07:42.500
That they’re rich,

00:07:42.833 --> 00:07:44.041
that they have a pool.

00:07:44.375 --> 00:07:47.625
And Raul, what I thought
was interesting about

00:07:47.625 --> 00:07:50.250
Raul is that he’s Donald
Trump’s third cousin,

00:07:51.125 --> 00:07:52.583
they have this connection...

00:07:54.125 --> 00:07:56.125
second cousin, third
cousin, I don’t know.

00:07:56.583 --> 00:08:02.125
He’s like mixed,
from the United States and from Texas.

00:08:02.625 --> 00:08:04.166
But she didn’t say
anything about your hair?

00:08:04.583 --> 00:08:06.125
She did!
She said my hair looks awful.

00:08:06.375 --> 00:08:07.666
Well, she got that much right.

00:08:08.125 --> 00:08:12.208
- Jeez, girl, you’re the one who helped me do it!
- Oh, Jonathas, just between us,

00:08:12.208 --> 00:08:14.500
you look like a caterpillar!

00:08:15.541 --> 00:08:18.875
Picture my face.
The ass face I was.

00:08:28.708 --> 00:08:31.916
I think I’ll spend
about 5 weeks there.

00:08:32.375 --> 00:08:34.416
Any more than a month and
I’ll break my record.

00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:39.958
But then I’ll come back full force!
I’ll take this place down. Gosh.

00:08:41.083 --> 00:08:46.750
Got it? I’ll take this place
down, messing with everyone.

00:08:51.250 --> 00:08:53.875
But there’s something in
your bag you’re gonna like.

00:08:55.958 --> 00:08:57.500
Go on, I’m all ears.

00:08:58.208 --> 00:08:59.750
I’m not gonna tell you. You guess.

00:09:00.750 --> 00:09:02.416
Some of your make up?

00:09:03.208 --> 00:09:03.875
Yeah...

00:09:04.125 --> 00:09:05.208
The one I want?!

00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:06.291
No.

00:09:08.458 --> 00:09:09.916
- Oh...lipstick? Mascara? Eyeliner?
- Yes.

00:09:10.333 --> 00:09:11.000
What?

00:09:11.208 --> 00:09:11.875
Yes, lipstick.

00:09:12.208 --> 00:09:12.875
Velvet?

00:09:13.375 --> 00:09:15.000
- No!
- Velvet is a color.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.333
I know, but it’s not that.

00:09:16.666 --> 00:09:17.500
It’s red, right?

00:09:17.958 --> 00:09:19.666
Oh, you already know?
Did you peek?

00:09:20.541 --> 00:09:22.208
You always give me red.

00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:34.083
I\'ll stay right here,
I already stole the spot.

00:09:39.041 --> 00:09:41.125
Shut up, you faggot!

00:09:42.125 --> 00:09:43.000
Queer!

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.875
Jonathas...

00:09:56.208 --> 00:09:58.708
Faggot... come take on this
faggot over here, asshole!

00:11:28.083 --> 00:11:28.791
Jo...

00:11:29.958 --> 00:11:30.666
Yes, dad.

00:11:32.375 --> 00:11:35.083
There’s something we need to tell you.

00:11:37.541 --> 00:11:38.458
That I’m adopted?

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.291
Jonathas, now’s not
the time for jokes.

00:11:47.958 --> 00:11:52.000
Me and Carlos... we’re separating,

00:11:56.458 --> 00:11:57.791
couple issues.

00:11:59.541 --> 00:12:00.333
Things that happen.

00:12:01.416 --> 00:12:06.291
We thought that, I don’t know, if we
brought you here, it would...

00:12:13.416 --> 00:12:15.916
But... which one of you am
I going to stay with?

00:12:30.458 --> 00:12:31.166
Wait.

00:13:12.166 --> 00:13:17.666
That story of Daniela and Carlos... about
separation, was not true, was it?

00:13:22.625 --> 00:13:24.375
Jonathas, did you hear what I said?

00:13:26.625 --> 00:13:29.541
When it’s not meant to be,
it’s not meant to be, and that’s it.

00:13:32.625 --> 00:13:34.375
Forget all that, Jonathas.

00:13:39.333 --> 00:13:40.416
Forget it.

00:13:43.958 --> 00:13:44.708
Jonathas.

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.250
Listen to me.

00:13:46.458 --> 00:13:47.208
Jonathas!

00:13:50.541 --> 00:13:51.625
It\'s different this time...

00:13:54.458 --> 00:13:55.541
Paula and Raul are here...

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.416
And don’t do anything else to
your hair, you hear me?
