In the Heights Edit

Absolutely gorgeous.

Abuela, Abuela.

Abuela.

Abuela.

Abuela.

Adios. I was saving that news for dessert.

Admit it.

Adopted our sueñitos , too.

After I left your place last night, I just...

Ah, bueno. There's no shame in waiting tables.

Ah, Miss Morales.

Ah. the hustle never ends.

Aha...

Ain't that some shit?

All right, all right. Everybody sit down, sit down.

All right, all right. Oye, oye, oye.

All right, let's clean this up before Abuela gets here.

All right.

All right.

All right. Put your feet up.

All them doodles you made.

An independent, stubborn lady. Like you, hija.

And all it just got me thinking about is, like... all the people I care about the most.

And all the servers, all Latino, shot me this look,

And don't tell me no $500. I spent a lot of money on these tickets.

And figure out how every undocumented kid gets a pathway.

And I built my little dream, my sueñito,

And I could tell you.

And I just stood there.

And I just thought about you.

And I saw one of his drop cloths, and...

And I was like John Wick. I'd be like...

And I wore this black cocktail dress and I was walking to my seat,

And I'm just his big cousin, but...

And in the middle!

And it's not so pretty.

And one of the patrons shoved her plate into my arms

And said, "I ordered the vegetarian option."

And searched me and they...

And teachers and lawyers, first generation, fifth generation...

And that, those things will complete you."

And that's good.

And the garbage trucks smelled like island flowers.

And then eventually, they found it... in her bag.

And then I apologize like an idiot.

And then I apologized.

And then I ran into Pete.

And there's no shame in having a different path.

And this might not be feasible.

And we emptied our savings to put a down payment on Rosario's.

And when it comes to dreams... we had to keep scraping by.

And who cuts your hair better than me?

And, you know, I know you're his dad,

And... he was, like, "Wow, that's gonna be my son's name."

Appearances, appeals, to a final decision...

Are we popping champagne?

As a personal favor?

Ask your mother.

Asserting our dignity in small ways.

Assuming they can prove income 40 times the rent.

Atención, if you don't have a fare, I want you over on 125th.

Ay, Dios mío.

Ay, Dios. Try my mother's old recipe.

Ay, no!

Ay, Usnavi.

Banana hat lady?

Beach.

Because the next time I could charge a dime.

Because this place... this is it.

Because you sold half the business, and it barely covered freshman year.

Bendicion, Abuela. Bendicion.

Benny, not hungry?

Benny, you know, before I bought Rosario's...

Best days of my life were there.

Best days of my life.

Best days of my life.

Best days of my life.

Bro! Get back here, man!

Bueno, mijo...

Bueno.

Bueno.

But every nickel went to shoe polish, right?

But I still got one tonight, Nina.

But it could be an opportunity to bring it back to life.

But it's my responsibility to make sure that he knows...

But Nina did.

But Nina Rosario's dreams were all about reach.

But no college?

But now... I'm like, almost 30.

But that we all had a sueñito.

But the gloves hid that.

But the ticket was never turned in.

But Vanessa needs a co signer, and not one who's about to leave the country.

But, I can't.

But, there's a chance, right?

But, they won't.

But, you never finished high school?

Bye, people!

Bye!

Café con leche.

Call 911!

Can we go in the water now?

Can we go to the water now?

Can you get her there? Thank you and happy birthday.

Carajo.

Caramba, buy me a bikini!

Carla!

Cash or credit?

Cash.

Celebrate!

Celia, Dolores, Isabel,

Celia, Dolores...

Check out the fireworks.

Chill out. You're hovering.

Chillax, you know you love me.

Chita, Rita, Frida,

Christmas, summers...

Come find me in the Bronx.

Come here with some towels!

Come on, Tio.

Come on!

Come on! Let's go.

Could be five months.

Country codes, actually.

Dad, I know what I have to do.

Dad...

Dad...

Dad... the deadline passed.

Dad... the deadline passed.

Dani, I'm taking lunch.

Daniela!

Daniela!

Daniela!

Daniela!

De verdad? Of who?

Diablo. It's like they've given up.

Did you not hear what I said?

Dile, mi gente, isn't she the best we got?

Do I look like Jesus to you?

Do what you gotta do.

Do you have two minutes?

Does your cousin dance?

Dominican Republic's gonna blow your mind.

Don't forget how you got your name.

Don't forget to take your medicine.

Don't get hit by a car, girl, you just got here.

Dreamed of being a downtown fashion designer.

Early July...

El Sueñito 2.0.

El Sueñito will be a labor of love.

Emptied my drawers, turned over my purse...

En un barrio called Washington Heights.

Ever wonder why?

Ever?

Everything okay?

Excuse me?

Exhibit A: Daniela's salon.

Fiesta in the Heights,

Fiesta in the Heights!

For a green card or a rejection.

For you, mamita, front of the line! Oye!

Free. I got tons like that.

Girl gets into NYU, she gets into Columbia...

Girl was a rocket, determined to go far.

Girl, what the hell?

Go get me a soda, please?

God bless you. Dios te bendiga.

Good luck.

Guernica.

Half the roof got taken in the hurricane.

Hand embroidered by your mother.

Handmade by an old friend.

Has been meaning to ask...

Have a date tonight, so...

He cares.

He doesn't have an apartment. He doesn't pay rent anywhere.

He has an opportunity to have a life that you and me didn't have.

He saw a passing ship on the horizon.

He's a good kid. He's smart. He's funny.

He's bouncing between two girls' houses.

He's my next ask.

Hello?

Hello? Yes, what time do you close?

Her hands were cracked from the cleaning fluids.

Here comes Usnavi!

Here I come.

Here we go. [chuckles]

Here, in Washington Heights.

Here, just in case. Sorry, here.

Hey, boss, I got your caffeine.

Hey, built in customers.

Hey, good morning to you, too, sweetheart.

Hey, Pop.

Hey, Pop.

Hey, y'all. Good morning.

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey...

Hey...

Hi!

Hold on.

Holy shit, that's a lot of money.

Holy shit!

Hopefully, I won't be going alone.

How do you pay him?

How much fight does this buy us?

How much for this?

How much will you take for 'em?

I called her twice and I texted her.

I called them! Stop trying to protect me here.

I can pay for his flights, to and from.

I can't. Just stick with Usnavi.

I don't have time to cash in now.

I don't want you doing something else crazy.

I e mailed you a few days ago, but I brought an extra copy.

I got café but no con leche.

I got my island, okay? Go get yours.

I got searched.

I got searched.

I got that kid working to the bone, but look, I'm...

I got to visit some old friends. You know how it is.

I gotta get to the dispatch, man.

I guess we're gonna do this now, huh?

I just want to see the whole world through her eyes.

I knew I couldn't get a license.

I know, my man grew a couple inches, he think he a man.

I leave on the first flight in the morning.

I like it.

I look at you, mija, I see her.

I love your dress.

I mean, Nina, I'm not gonna lie.

I mean, you know, we got time.

I mean... this could be good for him.

I remember when I was your age, they used to say...

I should've been paying attention to the board, but...

I sold Rosario's.

I still want to fight, though.

I stood there and didn't say anything.

I stood there, I didn't do anything,

I switched the info. I gave the finance office my dorm address.

I take note.

I thought about it.

I thought it was past tense.

I thought that this is my next piece.

I thought to myself, "No, no, no, papi."

I took a rag and a coffee can,

I took care of my community, no?

I used to be working in the back on a soda gun.

I wanna pay for your fee, and the rest put in a trust for Sonny.

I was gonna be like you.

I was just thinking off the top of my head.

I was just wondering about the status of the deposit.

I was, like, "What am I doing here?"

I went to the plaza in Arecibo to shine shoes for a nickel.

I wish I could go back more often.

I wish I did, but I like...

I worked from memory.

I would watch, like...

I... dropped out.

I... I heard you fly out tomorrow.

I'd have to talk to my dad...

I'll figure it out. Thank you again.

I'll get you some water in a minute.

I'll see you later, all right?

I'll see you, papa.

I'm gonna drop out so somebody else could get rich off of my work?

I'm home.

I'm in a meeting.

I'm not going without him.

I'm not gonna sit here and give you

I'm right here, Abuela, I'm right here. I'm right here.

I'm right here, I'm right here.

I'm right here, I'm right here.

I'm sorry, honey. I meant to call you.

I'm sorry, you just... You look amazing.

I'm the girl who paints nails.

I'm with him every day. Working in my store.

I've been saving up all my pennies in my piggy bank for this day.

I've never been north of 96th Street.

Ice cold piragua, parcha, china, cherry, strawberry and just for today I got mamey.

If Claudia was here, she'd say, "P'alante."

If I knew, I would. The point is not who won...

If I made it back to the Dominican Republic, then we retained our roots.

If you can't stay in the ring, what's that gonna say about us?

If you need...

Ignore anyone who doubts you.

In a record breaking heat wave, the mayor's urging residents to what?

In actuality, we're still accepting tuition payments up until June.

In Puerto Rico, blackouts happen all the time, and we still threw a fiesta.

Is about to get you out of your homes and into the clubs.

Is that most of the time I'm at Stanford feels like a betrayal.

Is that what I thought it was?

Isabel, Sandra, Julia...

It may end in heartbreak.

It was O'Hanrahan's.

It's 'cause you can see a future that I can't.

It's 5:30 a.m., and here's today's news.

It's creepy quiet.

It's great.

It's just without a solid credit check, there's not much I can do.

It's no joke, Pop.

It's the story of a block that was disappearing.

It's time to make some noise. You want to come?

Just like my mamá.

Just so that he doesn't go too long without seeing you.

Just this.

Just to tie up some loose ends before... before I go.

Just... waiting for inspiration to strike, I guess.

Keep it.

Let him explain.

Let it go.

Let me get you a drink.

Let me get you a shot.

Let me give you a vegan pastel.

Let me just listen to my block.

Let's go!

Let's just keep those boxes in order, too.

Like a drunk Chita Rivera.

Like Abuela always used to say...

Like the dean, he invited me to this diversity dinner.

Like we used to?

Like you.

Like, "Ooh, what's this trigueña gonna do?"

Limit air conditioner use, as brownouts continue in the Bronx.

Listas. We'll follow behind.

Listen, and repeat after me.

Listen, I got this. Just push. Just push down.

Listen, if I could be like...

Listen, you down to march next week?

Literally, they were like four inches high.

Little details that tell the world, we are not invisible.

Look at you! Why are you taller than me?

Look what you did.

Look, I got Sonny.

Look...

Love you, Daddy.

Lovely.

Making the same pennies.

Mami, can I?

Man, you've been talking forever.

Managed her dad's business and basically...

May she rest in peace.

Maybe Stanford isn't a way out. Maybe it's a way back.

Maybe your parents could co sign.

Merengue. Carnaval.

Mi amor, cálmate, huh? What would Jesus do?

Mijo...

Mine was a... quaint little sueñito.

Mira, Nina!

Mm hm.

Mm hm. Oh, and Benny's on the dispatch today. Just sayin'.

Morning and night, year after year... to what end?

Most of my clients already up and moved to the Grand Concourse.

Move, come on.

Moving in a week, after decades of makeovers,

My bad. Use one of those rags.

My community.

My cousin over there, with his tongue hanging out...

My dad, he, uh... he pulled me out of high school,

My last morning, the One Train...

My lunch break isn't long enough for that trip, Dani.

My pops would be rolling in his grave if he saw what came of his bar.

My roommate lost her pearl necklace and...

Nice.

Nina didn't even let them drive her to the airport.

Nina Rosario!

Nina, I'm not gonna be a ball and chain.

Nina, say, "Thank you, Papi."

Nina!

Nina.

Nina... it was about your age

No one could fill her shoes.

No work study for her, no federal aid for her

No, Daddy, keep going.

No, don't you give it a second thought. I'm on it. Hm?

No, I got you.

No, I wasn't.

No, it doesn't.

No, it has not passed. Would you like to know the remaining balance?

No, man. I mean, that's amazing.

No, she didn't, right?

No, that's Carmen Miranda.

No, you did not!

No, you didn't!

No, you didn't!

No... No.

Not because of some fancy degree...

Not me. I was in Pampers on that plane.

Now, it's probably not how you remember it,

Number twelve...

NYC's my spot.

Of my family.

Oh, God.

Oh, hey, Pike.

Oh, hey. Your lottery ticket.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

Oh, my God. The fear!

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh. You're only gone to Thanksgiving.

Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Oh, shit, I played, bro.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit. This is the one.

Oh, we're in trouble now.

Oh, yeah. I mean, at least your dad kept half the storefront.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

Oh... Uh, I got bank checks.

Okay, okay.

Okay, open.

Okay, se acabo todo. Get out!

Okay, so we're gonna shave the whole thing.

Okay, thank you so much. Thank you, bye.

On moving day...

On my dad's first trip to Nueva York...

On the floor?

Once upon a time, in a far away land called Nueva York,

One can of condensed milk.

One: swipe the fare card.

Ooh!

Or five years.

Or she got a little bun in the oven, you know?

Our matriarch bites the dust, and this is how we move on?

Para siempre...

Pero you wore your papi's hat?

Pete!

Pete! You can't just take that!

Phone call! Lotto office.

Please, Daddy? Can I go, too?

Please?

Please.

Plus tax. I'll waive the rush fee.

Pop's little dream.

Punk!

Que voy a hacer? I was priced out.

Ready to welcome you, open arms, babies and abuelas,

Right, I told you... We talked ab...

Right.

Right. That's right.

Rigoberta, Mirabal.

Same story as last time?

Sandra, Julia, Rigoberta, Mirabal.

Say it, so it doesn't disappear.

Say it, so it doesn't disappear.

See, the courts work at their own speed.

Send somebody over here. I don't...

Seriously?

Share your stories!

Share your stories. There's nothing to be ashamed of!

She bought a winter coat and a pair of velvet gloves.

She felt like one tiny grain of sand from the beaches we left behind.

She gets into college without papers, but...

She had to take that step on her own.

She needs to go to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

She probably flunked out.

She refused.

She started working and was like, "I need more drop cloths."

She was like a little sister to me.

She was talking about undocumented folks.

Shh. Let me just listen to my block.

Should we take a break?

So all of my decisions can just go to hell here?

So how's the new spot?

So I called Sonny and I told him to open up the bodega,

So I came here.

So I could make my own damn work.

So I started painting.

So I stayed.

So if you're crossing the bridge,

So she adopted the whole block as her own.

So she doesn't get to go to college. It's not right.

So that I could work on the same farm as him.

So the deadline hasn't passed?

So today, I reopened the conversation.

So who won?

So... Sonny's dad is okay with him leaving?

Some cousin you saw two Christmases ago?

Some fairy tale version.

Sonny, you're late.

Sounded like Juan Luis Guerra.

Spelling bee champ, valedictorian,

Start small, dream big.

Stitchwork like this doesn't exist anymore.

Stop overreacting, Nina, please.

Stop with the lying. I called them.

Stop!

Stop.

Summer all year 'round.

Sunset looked better in the blackout.

Super wealthy donors, trustees, the whole nine.

Sure, the balance that's due for the fall semester...

Talk to me.

Tell our stories! Tell our stories!

Tell our stories! Tell our stories!

Tell your cousin... Fiesta in the Heights.

Ten minutes max.

Ten minutes? Cariño.

Thank you for letting me come in last minute.

Thank you, Benny. Thank you very much.

Thank you, man.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That just looks like a fourth grader drew that.

That kid does well in school, he works hard.

That scratch on the record is her favorite part.

That sounds weird.

That tell the world we are not invisible.

That was real quick.

That your mother and I, God rest her soul, we came here

That's amazing. Thank you again.

That's facts.

That's great.

That's it? No story?

That's my dad's beach.

That's on your tab, bro! Both of y'all.

That's señorita to you.

That's the corniest thing I've ever heard.

That's the same thing that we foresaw when we came!

That's what everyone was wondering.

That's why these napkins are beautiful.

That's your first of the day?

That's your revenge.

The best days of my life.

The bodega was only supposed to be temporary,

The check is cashed. [chuckles]

The deadline to pay and enroll for next semester also passed.

The extension on spring tuition.

The genius is back!

The kid doesn't listen to shit I say, anyway.

The loneliness.

The money will come, the things will come.

The odds are against you.

The plan was always to go back.

The RA and her parents came in...

The realtor took one look at this, and was, like... "No."

The Simpsons meets...

The skin deep kind and the emotional kind.

The streets were made of music.

The tropical air'll keep you young, girl!

The truth is...

The voices of the gods.

The whole block was Irish.

The whole summer is ahead of us.

There is a god!

There were other things other than the finances.

There's no community for me at school.

There's plenty like me, here and over there.

There's something on your shirt.

They're beautiful.

They're for a special occasion this weekend.

They're talking about kicking out all the DREAMers.

This feels great.

This is crazy!

This is it, huh, mija?

This is it! This is it!

This is like Gilligan's Ghetto Island.

This is the moment when you do better than me.

This is worth 96,000.

Three: arrive at my new location.

Thus the low asking price, the quick sale.

Tio... Come on, man.

To her, a sueñito was something you keep a secret.

To Nina, who can now finish what she started at Stanford.

To Nina!

To wake up and scrub another floor till the day she died.

Toast to drama.

Tres paradas... pickety, packety, poom,

Tsk. Pass me a tissue or something.

Tu eres un workaholic.

Two burgundy Cadillacs, that was your fleet!

Two shots, please! Same thing.

Two: ride three stops.

Ungrateful!

Unibrow artist lady?

Until then...

Usnavi, Vanessa. Ven, baila.

Usnavi...

Usnavi...

Usually, the One Train's up there, screeching.

Vanessa.

Walked around for a while.

Watch it.

We are not power less. We are powerful.

We can hit a few clubs.

We got good news, mijo.

We had to assert our dignity in small ways.

We have a date. This is a date.

We work so hard to try and get there, that we forget about what's right here.

We. We have a date.

We'll use them for the party.

We're a people on the move, so yeah, bring us with you.

We're all ready, ma'am.

Welcome to the block.

Well, how about...

Well, I...

Well, nope on her.

Well, why would you do that?

Well, you keep getting A's, baby,

Well, you're pretty creative and artistic, I mean...

What a lady like yourself...

What are you riding, a time machine?

What did she do?

What did they teach you for Hispanic Heritage Month?

What if I don't want it?

What if I refuse your money?

What news?

What the hell happened?

What you mean, when did I get it? Don't worry about when I got it.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? Now you talking crazy, boy.

What's "Usnavi" mean, anyway?

What's all over those pipes?

What's going on man?

What's so funny?

What's the cause?

When you came here and Mom came here, you all had a Latino community

Where the hell is everybody?

Who's gonna greet you in DR?

Who's that?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Why you always asking questions?

Without bumping into someone's big plans.

Wonder Woman meets...

Woo hoo! [speaking Spanish]

Word! Yes!

Word.

Would be doing this weekend.

Would you?

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Y Sonny? Is he on board?

Y te lo juro, if she were here, she would've done the same thing that I did today.

Yeah, all right. Bro, you think you're funny?

Yeah, but that's not till August.

Yeah, but... here I work to survive.

Yeah, come on, Iris.

Yeah, hold up. Wait, wait. Let's take a shot.

Yeah, late last night.

Yeah, on these blocks, you can't walk two steps

Yeah, they let me finish off my classes, but we owe them.

Yeah, well...

Yeah, when I left, y'all were, like,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I should go.

Yeah. It fits.

Yeah. You had all those photos by the register.

Yeah... he's fine with it.

Yes, about the ignorant idiotas...

Yes, I'm not sure the information you received was correct.

Yes, mi vida, go.

Yes, that's my hair, girl. What you gonna do about it?

Yes. I have a pencil.

Yes. Yes, ma'am... Señorita. Yes.

Yo, Abuela...

Yo, come on, let's roll, man.

Yo, don't take nothing from there without my permission.

Yo, how did you...

Yo, how'd it go?

Yo, I gotta wait for Vanessa, man. I gotta find her.

Yo, I remember, man, when...

Yo, I was thinking... there's so much stuff going on.

Yo, it was like...

Yo, Kevin, I, um... I routed all the incoming calls through my cell

Yo, let's talk profit sharing.

Yo, look at this.

Yo, so much to catch up on.

Yo, Sonny!

Yo, the cleaners next door, nine dollars a shirt.

Yo, why these chancletas make my toes wrinkle?

Yo, you all still open, man? Everybody closed early 'cause of the heat.

Yo, you playing tricks on me, man!

Yo, you playing tricks on me!

Yo, you're an artist.

Yo, your senior year lab book...

Yo! Usnavi's stayin'!

Yo... [exhales]

You and I both know that finances were tenuous before getting into this.

You are so cute.

You came here when you was eight.

You can't keep putting your life's work on my shoulders, Dad.

You do you. It's all good. But don't be roping me into your thing.

You don't even know. For real.

You don't tell me how much we can afford.

You got cold feet?

You got here mad quick. What's going on?

You got me walking around here looking like a cockatoo!

You got... "island memories."

You guys!

You have a date.

You hear that?

You know I can't go nowhere without you.

You know what? Every time you tell the story,

You know what? Get it to me by five. I'll see what I can do.

You know what? It's mad we allow ourselves to be hurt.

You know why I bought it?

You know, a dream isn't some sparkly diamond we get.

You know, just, life throws you curve balls, but...

You know, payment in checks is more common.

You know, sometimes, it's... it's rough.

You know, when Pike originally approached me, he wanted the whole space.

You ready?

You said you wanted to see the world through my eyes, right?

You smart.

You take all the bruises, baby, but you stay in the ring.

You think it will be different in the Dominican Republic?

You thirsty as hell.

You, me and Sonny?

You... you, nena.

You're a different age, and you get younger

You're about to change zip codes.

You're doing that thing, you should...

You're happy I didn't make it at Stanford.

You're it.

You're not the parent. Hm?

You're telling me we can't survive the D Train to the Grand Concourse?

You're the best we've got, Nina.

You're unsure.

You've given me this amazing education and I just need to use it,

3843 Grand Concourse.

[Alejandro laughs] Yeah, so how was the DR?

[bottles clinking] Think fast.

[Carla] I mean, sometimes when I squint. True.

[Carla] What's going on? No, no...

[Carla] What's happening? [Usnavi] Bring her some towels!

[children clamoring] Yes! Yeah! All right.
