It must be hard being away
from your family.
It's very tough.
What's his name?
Oliver.
Oliver. It's a great name.
Not very Spanish sounding,
but a great name.
It's "Olibiero".
He wants to come to America,
so he makes me call him Oliver.
- Of course.
That smells great.
It's gonna be good.
This is fantastic.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
I thought I died and
gone to heaven.

a little accent
I think it reminds you of
where you from.
What about my English?
Your English is better than mine.
I'll be home soon, baby.
And you'll get your operation
