Olga Merediz - Scene 2: On the Street lyrics

MUSIC 1A: BACK TO WORK (USNAVI and SONNY are out on the street. ABUELA sits on her stoop.) [USNAVI] What did I say? Go fix the fridge. [SONNY] Hells no, it was blowing fuses, sparking and sh**! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Usnavi, send him to D.R. for the summer. Let him work on the farm so his Nikes can get real dirt on them! [USNAVI] I ain't wastin' no plane ticket on this kid. I'll be on Playa Rincon with a rum and coke. Sonny can stay here and sell Twinkies. [SONNY] Sell? I'll give 'em away for free. I'm the Robin hood of El Barrio (Exits.) [NINA] (Enters, looks around the neighboorhood.) Hey! [USNAVI] Nina Rosario, what is up?! [NINA] Jetlag, I haven't slept all night. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] It's the watermelon of my heart! [NINA] Bendición, Abuela. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Congratulations, your first year at Stanford University! [NINA] It felt like ten. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] You just missed your parents. [NINA] I'm here to see you guys. [USNAVI] So, did you kick some college a**? [NINA] I got mine handed to me on a silver platter. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Please, you knew the ABC's when you were six months old. [USNAVI] You registered half this block to vote! [ABUELA CLAUDIA] The future mayor of Nuevayork! [SONNY] (Enters.) I wanna be your campaign manager..., Yo miss, recognize this face? [NINA] Look who's a grown man. [SONNY] Check outs the goatee. [USNAVI] That's fridge grease. [SONNY] Why you so jealous of my sk**s? [USNAVI] Back to work (SONNY exits. To NINA:) Stop by later! (Exits.) MUSIC 1B: NINA'S THEME [NINA] Those recipes you sent were my survival kit. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] I had to make sure you remembered the flavor of home (Gets up.) Bueno, come inside, I have your sandwichito ready! [NINA] I'll be there in a second. [ABUELA CLAUDIA] I'll go put the fan on. (ABUELA CLAUDIA exits into her apartment) MUSIC 2: RESPIRA (BREATHE)
