Well, I'll probably be gone by the time you get back. Hey, can I you call you back in a minute? Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Bye. Bye-bye. Bye. - Bye-bye. I love you. I love you too. How long will you be gone? I don't know. I guess just a couple of days. Okay, good-bye, Gloria. - Good-bye. Have a safe trip. - Bye, I love you. Bye-bye. I love you too. - Adios. I'm going to take you with me. I'm going to take you with me. I'm going to take you with me. I'm going to wrap you up, and I'm going to put you inside my bag. - I want to go to the planetarium. - No, no, no, but I'm going to put you inside my bag, and I'm going to wrap you up like this. I think you'll fit like this. I'm going to take you to my private plane, all right? Private plane? - Yeah, I'm going to fly in a private plane. - Cool. - That's cool, huh? - I want to go to the planetarium with Gloria. - All right, okay, okay, okay. Okay, good-bye. I love you. Bye. Bye, have a nice trip. Bye, thank you. - Bye. I want to push. Okay. Good-bye. I'm just taking a charger. I can't sleep. Where's Jackie? She's with Gloria. They went to the planetarium. Oh, good. Come here. What? Get back in bed with me. Oh, no. - Get back in bed with me. - I can't. I have to- I have to finish packing up, and you have to go to sleep. No, no, I don't. - It sounds really nice, but I can't. You're not working tonight? No, I have to get going. I can't. I can't. Come here, please. Come on, it's so nice and warm in bed. Come to bed. Come on. I know, but I can't. I have to get going. I have to get going. Oh, no, please. No, come on. Please, please, please. - No, hey, I swear I can't. Come here. - Oh, shit. I have to take this. Sorry. Hello, yeah. No, no. I don't have it right- I don't have it in front of me. Can you send it with Melissa? Yeah, all right. Okay, bye. Hey. - Why don't you come with me to Thailand? Why don't you come with me? Okay? Why don't you stay? Oh, no. - Why don't you stay with me? Why don't you stay with me? # Woke up in the evening # # To the sound of screaming # # Through the walls it was bleeding # # All over me # # Untied and weightless # # Unconscious as we cross # # The international date line # # Lets end it here # Look at the little dog. Yes, good dog. - "Red blood cells carry oxygen through your blood. "More than 10 million red blood cells are in a drop of blood the size of a raindrop. " Can you imagine that? - 10 million in the size of a raindrop. Yes, wow. Ooh, and there's Jupiter. What's the biggest planet? Jupiter. - Jupiter. Where's Jupiter? Right there. Did you know that Saturn's ring around it is all made of dust and rocks and meteors? You're so smart. - They're from big bang, I think, yeah. - From big bang, you think? - Its ring were from big bang. - What's your name? - Linda. Linda, nice to meet you. Can I take a look at the cockpit? Is that all right? - Sure. Absolutely, absolutely. Thanks. What are you doing? Wow, look at this. - No, we are. Yeah, I know. He told me all about it. Yeah, I would totally stick with it. I wouldn't even listen. Okay, bye. Don't touch anything, Leo. No, no, no. No, it's pretty tempting, but I won't. - Hey, he only plays video games. He doesn't know anything about the real thing. - We don't have any parachutes, no. - The ones we're meeting. What is it? - Sir, oh, I can- I'll handle that. - Is it broken? I think it's broken. Yeah, it can be- - All right. Thanks. Thank you. - You're the best, Linda. Oh, you're too kind. - You have to have a drink with us soon. Stop it, man. What? She's magic. Shut up. So what's the deal with these guys, the ones we're meeting? - Oh, they kind of do everything. They're based in Singapore. I just thought, Bangkok, better nightlife. Okay. - It's crazy. I was there. Last time I was there, it was insane. So, I mean, these guys invest in everything. It's, like, media, telecommunications, Chinese biochem, gas. I think they have a German football team, Gunderbaer or something. Never heard of them. Right. Yeah. Yeah, they're huge. Huge, huge, huge. All right. - Speaking of which, the big meeting. Yeah. - This, my friend, is for you. You're going to need that. - Pen? - Yeah. All right. - It's for signing all those contracts. Hey, man, thanks. It's pretty nice. - You know what the white stuff is right there? What? Mammoth. - What do you mean, mammoth? It is. It is. It's, like, the-you know, the hairy elephants that died, like, 5,000 years ago or something. Wow. - And now they go on these expeditions and dig them up. They've been buried in Siberia, frozen solid there ever since. It's pretty cool. They have to dry it out, and then they process it, and then they have to wait five years before they can cut and polish the ivory and use it as the inlay right there. Mammoth. - It's the world's finest pen, 3,000 bucks. - And there, beckoning in black space, is planet Earth. When we see Earth from the outside, we discover a completely new planet. Our planet is a world of water, intricate layers of blue and turquoise constantly rising and falling from the gravity force of our moon. Planet Earth is wrapped in a thin layer of atmosphere, the biosphere. If it weren't for this fragile cocoon, our planet would be as dry and lifeless as our nearest neighbors in the solar system. Planet Earth, this tiny oasis in an endless space, is our heritage and our home. It's really cool, like you really are in outer space. - You know, I think you're going to be an astronomer when you grow up. You do? Mm-hmm. Can I? Of course you can. Honey, you can be anything you want to be. - Then I'm going to be an astronomer. It's so cool. Mm-hmm. Excuse me. I've got to go. Okay. Thank you, Gloria. That was delicious. - You want some more bacon? Sure. Okay. - Gloria, can I leave this here for you? Yes, of course. - Sorry. I'm just behind. - So do you really want to be an astronomer when you grow up? - Uh-huh, and a ve- a veteretinarian. A veterinarian? Uh-huh. - My son also wants to be like that, to be a veterinarian. How old is he? He is ten years old. What's his name again? His name is Salvador, but sometimes we call him Badong. Badong. Yes, Badong. - Big brother, is that the way to America over there? No, this is the way. This way? - They say that if you dig a hole, you'll come out on the other side of the world. America is on the other side of the world. But you can't do that. Why not? You just said you could. - Because inside the Earth, there's a fire. Is it a big fire? Yes, big and hot. Really? Big brother? Big brother? I was sleeping. - I just wanted to make sure you were still there. Of course I am. Where did you think I was going? Go back to sleep. Big brother, when is Mother coming home? Do you think she'll be home for my birthday? Go back to sleep. - Did you know that we all come from the stars? What do you mean? - Well, everything in the universe comes from the stars. First, there was a big bang, and then that's how all the stars were made, and everything else was made from the stars, trees and plants and animals and water and people too. Did you know that, that we're made of stardust? Maybe. Sorry, but I don't believe it. I don't believe in a big bang. - But it's-it's true, proven scientifically. - But I believe in God, not in a big bang. - Well, maybe it was God that made big bang. Maybe. Like, first he made big bang and then-to make all the stars in the universe. Then he made the dinosaurs, but then he didn't like them, so he made them extinct and made people instead. Please dial 112. - Can I get some help? I've been waiting for hours. - Someone will be right with you. Someone will be right with you. 11-year-old boy. Multiple stab wounds to the abdomen and hands. Free airways. Breathing spontaneously. BP, 85 over 50. - On my count. One, two, three. Pulse, 110. Notify the OR. Intubate. - GOS was 14 in the field, now down to 8. Equal and responsive. Anybody know this boy's name? Anthony. - Anthony. Anthony, can you hear me? Anthony? Has he sustained any other injury? No, no. Lungs clear. Five stab wounds to the abdomen. I need four units of O-neg. Hurry up. Let's turn him over. One, two, three. Okay, that's good. He's clear. All right. Hurry up. I need vascular instruments. I want thoracotomy instruments to stand by, and I want an orthopedic surgeon to stand by for the hands when I'm done. Okay. And a clamp. Retractor. Clamp. Pressure? 95 over 50. You got a blood gas? - Yeah, I'm just going to take one now and analyze it. - Looks good. The liver is packed. I'm almost done here. Okay. I think that's it here. I think everything's under control. How much blood did he get? - Oh, he got four units and four plasma. It's right on. # Once I wanted to be # # The greatest # # No wind or waterfall could stall me # # And then came the rush of the flood # # Stars at night turned deep to dust # # Melt me down # # Into big black armor # # Leave no trace # Hello? Mother? Badong? I'm so happy to hear your voice. How are you? - Mother, I have something important to tell to you. Manuel misses you. I miss him too. I think of you both all the time. - I'm okay, but Manuel is so young. He wants you to come home for his birthday. I want that too, my son. Don't worry. I bought lots of toys and put them in a box. What do you think he might like? He likes basketball. Is that so? I'll buy him a basketball. - But when are you coming home for real? My brother misses you so much. - Do you know what you can do for him? Take your brother to visit our new home. You can show him what it will look like when I come back. Show him where his room will be and yours and mine too. If you do that, my boy, you'll make your brother happy. That would make me happy too. I'm coming home soon, and we'll all live together. I love you so much. You're very good, and I'm so proud of you. - We've got a bit of a problem. What kind of problem? I'm afraid the contract isn't quite ready for you to sign. We ran into a couple of snags. Thought I had it sorted out. When did this happen? Last night. - All right, I'll take care of it. Yeah. Is it all right? - Yeah, it's fine. It's so typical. Why are they wearing masks? - Ah, the air is bad, pollution. - Looks like they're going to rob a bank or something. I would like a mask someday. Hey, Bob, could I have a mask? Yeah, Leo. When we get to there, we'll give you a mask. Good, I like masks. - Mr. Vidales. - Yes. - A very warm welcome to Millennium Hilton, Bangkok. Thank you very much. - You must be Mr. Sanders. - Yes, hi. - A very warm welcome to the hotel. If you're ready, Mr. Vidales, we'll just go straight up. Good morning. This is the living room. The sofa will be there and the TV here. - Will the floor look like this? - They'll put a carpet on it. That will make it nicer, right? - Big brother, why are there no windows? - It's not finished. Uncle will put windows in. Why is this so rough? Are they going to paint it? When our house is done, it'll be as nice as that one. But why isn't there a roof? They'll put one on. It's not finished yet. Uncle, when will the house be done? I don't know. - Mother said I should tell you to hurry up. Your mother said that? Yes. - Well, then tell your mother to send more money. The roof could have been finished this week, but I couldn't pay the workers. You tell her that. Hi. - Welcome to Bangkok, Mr. Vidales. Thank you. - Massage? Thai massage or Swedish massage. It's very, very good for your health, Swedish massage and something like that. No, I-I think I'm fine. Okay. - I'm fine. No, thanks. - Thank you. - Thank you. And there's a woman standing there, and she's asking me if I want a massage. And I don't know if she meant, like, a real massage or, like, you know, something else, you know? Anyway, thank you for the music. It's great. It's really, really, really nice. All right, well, I guess we'll speak to each other later. All right. Big kiss. Bye. - They agreed to $45 million. Now they're suddenly saying $42 million. I mean, it's ridiculous. - Yeah, but, I mean, from $45 million to $42 million, I mean, it's not that big a difference. - It's a big difference. - Yeah? - I mean, if they say they're going to invest $45 million, they're going to invest $45 million. It's still a lot of money. - You know, I don't like this getting off the plane and hearing, "Ah, we're going to do $42 million. " I mean, what is that? - You know, I have no problem with it. It's $45 million. We could have asked for $65 million. We don't want to run our business that way. All right. - Look, don't worry about it, okay? Just let me handle about it. Take an extra day or two. Go chill out. We're in Bangkok. Come on. I know this guy Bee who lives here. Uh-huh. - And Bee just knows all these joints. And we'll start at this club. It'll be a pretty late night, and then just hit all these other little places. It's just going to get, like, darker and darker and better and better. You've just got to see it. I can't wait to see you. You're just going to be like... - I don't like clubbing that much. You don't like clubbing. - I used to. I used to, but I don't- I don't like it, man. - We're in Bangkok. We're going to club. - How about Death, yeah, the game that this kid uploaded? - Death? - Death. - That sounds like a lot of fun. - Yeah, no, no, it's a great game. It's a great game. - This kid's going to make a billion dollars off Death. It just pisses me off. We can't get $45 million. Really weird custom, right? Hi. Hey, Jackie. How was your work? - Oh, fine, thank you. Thanks. There you go. I love you. - I love you too. Mwah. - See you after school, okay? Mwah. Have a good day, kiddo. Thank you. - Bye. - Bye. Thanks, Gloria. Bye, honey. Bye. Love you. I don't see anything. I only see darkness. - A national poll released Monday said the president's approval- - And the constant training of the Afghan National Army will soon have an effect. - Properly use a cell phone when trying to determine whether or not you actually want to stay on a date. - Customer simply scans their fingerprint at the check- - Straight from the mines of Africa, $199.99. - # Destroy everything you touch today # # Destroy me this way # # Anything you've made deserts you # # So it cannot hurt you # # You only have to look behind you # # At who's underlined you # # Destroy everything you touch today # # Destroy me this way # # Everything you touch you don't feel # # Do not know what you steal # # Shakes your hand # # Takes your gun # # Walks you out of the sun # # What you touch you don't feel # # Do not know what you steal # # Destroy everything you touch today # # Please destroy me this way # Hello? Hi. Hi. Hey. Hey. Hey. I hope you used a condom. A condom? - With the woman, the woman who knocked on your door. - Ah, right. No, no. We got excited and decided not to use one. I decided to have some babies here in Thailand. - Oh, good, good, and some AIDS. - And AIDS, AIDS. AIDS is great. - Do you have any porno films? I threw them away. You did, why? - Because I thought that Jackie was going to find them soon. I can't sleep. I'm dying to relax, and I don't know. I'm desperate. I just got home from work, got home just in time to watch Jackie head off to school. We met exactly for one minute. Feel like all I ever do is work and work and work, and I feel like I'm never at home, and when I'm at home, Jackie's not here. She's sleeping, she's at school, or she's-you know, I don't even know where she is. I know. I know. I just miss her. Every time I lie down, my heart just rises to the top of my chest, and I can't stop it. I have to go to sleep. I just can't turn my head off. My mind won't stop spinning. I gave Jackie a hug, and when I was holding her, I could feel all of her little bones. And I couldn't stop myself from wondering how she- what she looked like on the inside, all of her organs. I don't know. I'm sorry. I know I'm just tired, but I feel like I've been drugged or something. - Well, why don't- why don't you just try, like-I don't know- breathing in and-yeah. Hey, do you want me to buy you a present, like some cheap knockoff or some silk? I don't know, the things that you get here in Thailand. What would you like, the knockoff or silk? - Silk. I'll take the silk. On my count. One, two, three. - It's all right. It's all right. Hi. Hi. How are you? My name is Dr. Vidales. Can you tell me your name? - Linda. - Hi, Linda. I don't want you to worry, okay? You're going to be just fine. Now, listen. I know that you're in a lot of pain, but I need you to be quiet while I listen to your lungs. - All right, lungs are clear. That's very good. Can you tell me where it hurts? - My chest. - Your chest. My leg. - I want 10 milligrams of morphine. All right, can you feel this? Yes. Yes, that's good. What about this? Can you feel this? No. - What about this? Can you feel when I do this? - No. - You're doing very well, okay? Okay? You don't need to be afraid. We're going to take very good care of you here, okay? Oh, okay, okay. Ten. Yes, good. You're so good. - He was a wonderful man, but... - But? - Every other woman in the world thought he was wonderful too. Are you married? - Yeah, I am. Six years. Six years? - Six years. What about you? - Well, the first husband, 7 years, and the second husband, 12 years. And the third marriage? - Oh, he ain't born yet, and his mama's dead. Oh. Oh, that's hot. You're going to want to double-cup that. No cream. What does your husband do? My husband is in games. Like Las Vegas games? - No, no. He's a- Have you heard of a- It's a website. It's called Underlandish. No. - It's-it's a little bit like MySpace. It's, like- it's an online community, but instead of it being based on music, it's based on games, and it's pretty much one of the biggest game sites on the Internet, and Leo, my husband, is the guy who started it. It's funny. When we met- I mean, he's not much of a businessman or anything, but he was just a gaming nerd, you know? He gets to live a protracted adolescence, but... - Ah, yeah. That happens. - Is this- is it silk? - Some silk, some pashmina. Are you interested in some pashmina? - Is this- This is only silk. - Mm-hmm. Like, for your wife? Maybe this good for your wife. This is quite nice color. - Yeah, this one is great. This one is really nice. But actually, that one's also really nice, so... Well, I'm not sure. You know what? I'll just take this, this, this, this one. You know, I think- I think I'll just get- I'll just get all of them. - You'll take them all? Okay, okay, all right. - You know, it's better than not to. Yeah, okay. - All right. Just in case. Anything else? - And this one. This one. Just-yeah. - Okay, all right. - You know what? This one, yeah. - Yes? All right. - Just-yeah. Thanks. Hey, man, can I help in any way? - No, we're good. We're all right. - Man, come on. I'm bored. - Leo, you know you're no negotiator. Just-it's not your thing, just- - Yeah, I know, but I'm a genius, you know? So by definition, I'm supposed to be able to do anything. - Yeah, you're also a smug little bastard, but we got everything under control. Just go spend some time. Go see some temples or take the boat ride in the canals or something. - Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go somewhere. I don't know. I'll find out. All right, well, speak to you later, all right? - I got to get back in there. I'll call you back. All right, bye. # Woke up in the evening # # To the sound of screaming # # Through the walls it was bleeding # # All over me # # Untied and weightless # # Unconscious as we cross # # The international date line # # Let's end it here # Hi. - Hey, I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm absolutely bored. I've been doing nothing, nothing. I miss you. Can you- Where are you? Can you-can you Skype? I want to see you. Let's have some Skype sex. Yeah? - No, no. Slow down. No, no, no, I'm not on Skype. I'm at the grocery store. I'm food shopping. - Ah, right. What are you buying? I don't know. I thought I'd make a pizza with Jackie. I'm just at the store. - Ah, pizza. Oh, I wish I was there. I want to go home. Well, then come home. I want to go home, but I can't because I'm just waiting till they finish negotiating, and then I'm going to sign the paper, and that's all I'm here for, you know? I'm just going to sign the dotted line, and that's it. - Oh, well, you should go on a vacation. I mean, you're in Thailand. You're close to all those islands. They've got to be what, like, an hour away? Oh, yeah. - Why don't you go sit on a beach, eat a peach? - Yeah, yeah, that's a really good idea, yeah. - Now I'm jealous. I wish I was with you. It's freezing here right now. What's "car" in Tagalog? Oar? Do you feel cold? Not really. Are you sure? Uh-huh. What's "sky"? "Sky" is... Yes. What's "bike"? "Bike"... Yes. What's "elevator"? - We don't have any Tagalog for "elevator. " Hi. Hello. Hi, sweetie. - It's the same, "elevator. " How was school? Good. What did you learn? Tagalog. It's the Filipino language. You did? I know "bicycle. " How do you say it? - Is that right? That sounds great. Yes, it's right, yes. Yeah, she sounds good? She does. I'm so proud of you. Hey. Guess what. - What? Is it a surprise? Not anymore. I thought that you and I could make some pizzas for dinner tonight. Tonight? - Yeah, and then maybe afterwards, we could watch a movie together. - But tonight me and Gloria were going to church. Can we do it tomorrow, please? I'm so sorry, but I don't know that you are at home tonight. Oh, no, that's okay. That's probably my fault. The schedule changed. Why, is there something special happening at your church? There's a special- Every Monday, there's a special mass for Filipinos, and afterwards, we eat, and she is very eager to learn Tagalog, and she wants to meet Filipinos there. You can come with me next time... Is that all right? - But you must stay with your mom. But... But I really wanted to go to church. - Honey, I got lots of different toppings. Ham, spinach, onions, cheese, all kinds of different peppers. And this is actually very special ham, the one on the- Okay, you're really not that into this, are you? Well, it's just- - Would you rather go to church with Gloria? This is- Has Gloria left yet? Gloria? Yes. I'll tell you what. We can make pizza tomorrow night, okay? Are you sure? - Yeah. Have fun. Hurry up. - Okay, okay. I will. - Do you want me to make you something to eat before you go? - There will be food at the church. - I'd like to order a pizza for delivery, please. Fresh tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan, please. Yeah that's right, Vidales. Thank you, thank you. Bye-bye. Jackie. - How do you say, "What time is it?" in Tagalog? Huh? Excuse me? - She said that, "Excuse me, what time is it?" Oh, the time? 5:55. Five, five, five. 5:55? - Five, five, five. Okay? Thanks. - Sorry about that. Thank you so much. You're so silly. Yeah, you will learn a lot of Tagalog words here. Cool. You like it? You'll learn a lot here. Yeah. - Yeah, I'll give it to you as a present. Thank you. - In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. all: Amen. May the Lord be with you. - May the sacrifice we have offered renew our spirit. For the sake of your Son... May the peace of the Lord be with you always. Let us offer each other the sign of peace. Hello. Jackie. My name is Jackie. - That's very good. She's very good. You're so smart. How old are you? Seven and a half. And how do you call me? Nanny Gloria. Wow, very good. - Do you want me to do something? - Um, no, no. No, no. Look, you don't have to do anything. I mean, really, I'll just go to the airport and get a flight there, find a flight. - I mean, I can call Melissa and have her set it up. Why don't you just call her and have her set it all up? - Man, but I've traveled thousand times like that. - You want to be 18 again, huh? Sleep on the beach with the cockroaches, is that it? - Man, I'm a backpacker, come on. You're not a backpacker. You own a company. You're the founder of a company. Backpackers don't do that. - Man, I was born into a hippie family. - You're not- You live in Soho. That doesn't-that makes you not a hippie immediately. - I'm just going to get there and find my way around. Really, don't worry. I mean, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine, all right? Listen, do me a favor. Bring your BlackBerry, okay? 'Cause it's-that's crucial. So whatever you want, bring your games, whatever, just bring your BlackBerry, because I need to reach you. - All right.

I think we should go somewhere on a vacation. I really feel the need to do that. I mean, whenever we can, you know? We'll find the time. We'll find the time. But I think we need to do that, you know? Any changes? No. - You know who stabbed him, right? Yeah, his mother. What a sick world, huh? Hi, it's me. I just wanted to talk a little. It's a-I don't know. It's nothing important. It's just something at work, something- There's this boy here, Anthony. He was stabbed in the stomach by his mother. I mean, how does that happen? How does a mother do that to her own child? Well, he was bleeding like crazy. I didn't think he was going to make it. I just-I thought he was going to bleed out on me. He's just a little kid. I mean-I mean, it could have been Jackie. I just kept thinking that it could have been Jackie. Oh, God. Hi. Hi. - Hi. I'm interested in a telescope. It's for my daughter. She's seven, but she's very interested in astronomy, and I want something that's going to last her for quite a while. Yeah, so I want something very high quality, I guess. - I can show you which ones we have in stock. - Sure, sure. That'd be great. I recommend this one. - You'd recommend this one over those two? - This one would be great for a seven-year-old. This is a very good telescope. - But it's still sophisticated at the same time. I don't want her to feel like I'm talking down to her or anything like that. - No, no, no, no. This is a great telescope. Okay. - What? Is that for me? Of course it is. Really? What do you think? I love it. Did I do good? - You got exactly what I wanted. - I thought if you were going to be an astronomer, you better start practicing. Take a look. - You can't really see anything when it's daylight, though. - Good point. Silly Mommy. It's so cool. - Why don't we come back later when it gets dark, huh? We can look at the stars together. - Ears. - Ears. Ears. Mm-hmm. Nose. Nose... - Nose. Okay. Brow. Brows... Brows. Brows. - Who wants to go look at their new telescope? Eyes... Eyes. - Let me just finish this page. Okay. Hand. Hand... Hand. Blanket... Blanket. Blanket. - Blanket. - Yes, blanket. Blouse... Blouse. Blouse... Good. And my foot. - Foot. - Foot, yes. And my foot. And my calf... Calf, here. Yes. And right here. - Gloria, can I talk to you for a second? Yes, of course. Where are you going? To talk to your mom. Okay. - It's about all of the Tagalog. I think it's great that Jackie is so interested. I really do. And you're doing a fantastic, fantastic job. I just don't want her to spend so much time on it. I'm afraid it's going to start interfering with her homework. - But she has already finished her homework. No, I know. It's just- You know how kids get. They, you know, get fixated on something, and everything else is just out the window, and I just don't want her to get too-too- Do you understand what I mean? Yes, of course. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay, good. Thank you. Okay. Want to put your coat on? Oh, my gosh you found a star. I did? - Oh, Jackie, that's amazing. Yeah. Honey, it's beautiful. You actually found a star. - I found a couple thousand. Sorry, a couple. More than a couple. At least 1,000. - Here, you want me to hold you steady? Don't touch it too much. Oh, no, we lost it. - I wonder what Mother is doing in America right now. - I don't know. Maybe she's sleeping. - Sleeping? But it's noon already. It's nighttime in America. Nighttime? - If it's daytime in the Philippines, it's nighttime in America. I didn't know that. How long will she be staying there? - Why are you asking all these questions? I'm just thinking of her. - We'll be all grown up by the time she gets back. - What? But I'm still a little boy. She'll come home when we're done with school and have jobs. Hello. - It's Salvador. I want you to come home. - What's happened? Is there a problem? - No, you just need to come home. I know you need to earn money for the new house and everything, but I'm bigger now. I can help you. I'll work and make money so that you can come home. - No, I'm the one that's going to work for you and your brother. I love you so much. You must be strong. Stop crying, all right? You have to come home. Please, don't cry. You have to be strong. Come home. - I love you and Manuel so much. Do you need help? No, ask him. - You're too young, and fishing is hard work. - I can help with the fishing nets. - No, we can take care of it. Perhaps when you're older. Good day. I was wondering, could I work here? That's not possible. You're too young. I'm good at cooking. I always help my grandma at home. - It's not possible. Go away. I'm a fast learner. Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you. - I'm just wondering if there's work for me here. See this sack of rice? It must be emptied. Put this plastic bag on the scale. You're going to repack the rice. Each plastic bag should weigh one kilo. Put the rice in the plastic bag like this. Just make sure the scale needle doesn't go past number one. It doesn't matter if it goes under the line but not over. - Mother, I can't do this any longer. - Gloria, I know you can do it. You're strong. - I feel like my chest will explode. Mother, I'll never get used to this, not ever. This is not what God wants. You feel that way now, but I believe it's God's will that you give your children a better future. No, Mother. God wants me to be with my children. Can you understand that? I want to come home. No. I miss my children. - Be strong, my child. You can do it. Try to be strong. I know you can do it. I'm done now. Are you finished? Yes. Is the sack empty? Yes. Let me see. You're a really good boy. Wait. I'll go inside. I have a reward for you. Here you are, some candy and mango juice. That's your favorite, isn't it? Yes, thank you. - You're a really nice boy, a hardworking boy. You like that, don't you? - I just wanted to ask how- What? - How much will you pay me? Pay you? I'm not giving you any money. But you must pay me. I did all of this. Did you help me for money? Get out of here. Shame on you. Are you trying to trick me? Go on, leave. Shame on you. I'm not that easily fooled. - # Infrastructure will collapse # # Voltage spikes # # Throw your keys in the bowl # # Kiss your husband good night # # And forget about your house of cards # # And I'll deal mine # Hey. - Hey, how you doing?

I wouldn't call it vacation. All right. - I don't want to think about going home. What brings you here? - Well, I've been traveling for the last six months. Six months? - Yeah, I'm- I just landed here, but I've been just all over the place, you know? I have this thing and- But I decided to leave everything behind and come and just travel.

I'm going to give you- Look, you and me, no sex, all right? We're not going to have sex. No, no. No sex. No, I'm going to give you- Look, I'm going to just give you everything I've got, all right? You're going to go back home, and you're going to sleep, all right? On your own, not with me, not with anybody else. You're just going to go back, all right? Okay, and you don't come back and work here, all right? You don't come back tonight. Okay. - Okay, I want to see you go. Sure. I have to see you go. - Okay. Good night. Good night. Good night. Bye-bye. - Bye-bye. Don't come back. Hey, baby, hey. Okay, I'm going to go to sleep now. I miss you. I've been thinking. I have to do some charity work. You know, I have to- I think I could put up a foundation or- or support an orphanage, or-I don't know-I mean, just handing out computers maybe and helping out kids, or Bob gave me this stupid pen with mammoth ivory, and I couldn't stop thinking that, what if we all die out soon? You know, the whole human race disappears, and, you know, the rats will take over or maybe someone else, and one day, they'll dig out our graves, and they're going to make pens out of our skeletons just like the mammoths. - And no sex? - No. - Nothing? - No. Where is he from? America. I love Americans. - I hate them, but this one was different. You hate Americans? Why? - They think they're so good in bed. The Italians are worse. - Yes, they think they're so good, they shouldn't have to pay. - But the Germans are the worst. - The Germans? They're okay. They're dirty. No, not all of them. But the Arabs, the Arabs are the worst of all. I wouldn't go with them. Nobody would. They stink. How about the Japanese? I wouldn't go with them. - No way, not with a Jap. I hate the Japanese. - You wouldn't because their dicks are the size of my little finger. My little finger, not yours. I'm going to look for him tomorrow. I know where he lives. - Do you like ice cream, Anthony? When you get out of here, I'm going to buy you all the ice cream you can eat and candy, all the candy in the world. I promise. You ready? Yeah. Good to go. What's that noise? - That's Dr. Jackson's whale song. - I always play whale music when I work. Helps to keep you focused. You got to be kidding. - Yeah, we've got a lot to learn from whales. You know how intelligent whales are? Come on, what do you have against whales? - I've got nothing against whales. I just don't want them in my OR. - You want to hear something else, like the radio or something? - Hey, come on. - Speed metal perhaps? - Not better than whale music, believe me. - All right, let's go. Scalpel. And compress. And hold. They're amazing. They can sing to another whale 60 miles away. Compress. What are they singing about? The usual. "Here I am. Where are you? I love you. I miss you. " The usual. Clamp. - And recent studies show that whale songs can have a positive effect on people who are stressed or can't sleep. Can't sleep, huh? Time to get up. We're going somewhere today. Hurry up and get dressed. Wake up. But I have school today. You're not going to school. I'll be your teacher today. This is yours, and this is yours. Tell your brother's teacher he's home sick today. So you've worked for that old, miserly cheat. Rita told me everything. I take good care of you, don't I? Yes, Grandmother. - So why do you keep calling your mother to complain? Do you know where we're going? Let's go. Look at them. This is what they do every day. Look at those kids. Is this the kind of life you want? Look, he's only your age, and he's already collecting garbage. Here's some bread. Eat it. I don't want it. Why not? You haven't eaten anything today. Go on, eat it. Do you know why your mother is working in America? So you won't have to eat this bread, so that you can have a good life, a good life, proper food, nice house, a good education, money so when you get sick, you can go to the doctor. Those kids can't go to the doctor. When they get sick, they just die. They just die. Are you enjoying your ice cream? We should pity those people who live in the dumpsite. No one should have to live in a place like that. You know, there's something worse happening here at night. Kids come here to sell themselves. Sell themselves? - They sell themselves to tourists. They buy kids and take them to their hotels. - Why are they taking the kids to their hotels? I don't know. They just want someone to sleep with. Do they get paid? What else do they do? Let's not talk about it. They just sleep, nothing else. They don't do anything. They just sleep there. Just eat your ice cream. Good morning, Leo. I think you maybe want to see something. I am guide.
